Carmichael and Pemberton.

Two other visitors with direct concerns in contemporary problems also spoke to student audiences last month. Stokeley Carmichael, the chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and well known as an advocate of "black power," attracted an audience of more than 1400 to Webster Hall. John de J. Pemberton, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, however, had an audience of only a hundred or so.

Carmichael's appearance was co-spon-sored by the Undergraduate Council, the Dartmouth Christian Union, and the Afro-American Society. He asserted, "We are faced now with a situation where powerless conscience is confronted with conscienceless power" and stated that the people of a community must have the power to control that community before they can begin to attempt solving its problems. Negroes, Carmichael said, need to maintain their identity as Negroes as well as to win their freedom.

Pemberton, speaking on "Conscience and the Obligations of the Draft," said that conscription itself is one of the most severe deprivations of personal liberty and that a society should resort to this extreme only in the direst of circumstances and for carefully explained reasons.
