Great Issues ontinued from Page 1) them . . . remake them according to the needs of the times.” “Criticism of American society ... is coming from the extremes, the far right and the far left. It’s the same criticism,” he went on. “I’m taken by the fact that there is this convergence of ide ologies.” “For the first time in our lives, it’s almost as if there is no longer the situation of man against man. It’s man against organization and man against the machine,” Gib bons said. SDS member Jeff Daniels of San Antonio asked the dean for an example of the organization “ad vocating violent overthrow of the American government in one of its official statements.” “. . . I have heard you, person ally, state that you advocate this. What’s more, that after you de stroy the U. S. government that you would like to see a communist form of government replace it,” Dean Hannigan replied. Daniels denied using the words “violent,” “communism” and said he defined the term revolution “as immediate and rapid change and gave no indication of the vehicle it would use.” Panel Moderator Rev. Wesley Seelinger of St. Thomas Episcopal Church noted he did not recall Daniels using the words. “He said he liked a number of ideas of Russian leaders but didn’t like the way they were going,” Hannigan clarified. “Daniels said he rather thought the best thing for the U. S. was the Yugoslav form of government. However his main objective was to com pletely demolish the (American) establishment and then let some thing evolve of its own which he thought would be similar to the Yugoslav form of government.” vt»|S M W’*!
