Scholar warns of possible „
recurrence of McCarthy era ■
Faulk says secrecy disrupts civil
rights
Pl
By Robert Morris
Staff Writer
Just as fear and secrecy brought
on a wave of repression called the
McCarthy era in the 1950s, once
again secrecy in government has re
turned to American society creating
the foundations for a new disruption
of constitutional rights.
Warning against a rise of new Mc-
Carthyism in the ’80s, John Henry
Faulk, a constitutional scholar and
victim of the Red Scare, said “. . . se
crecy in government has become in
stitutionalized.”
“A self-governing free society
such as ours can’t govern itself if the
people don’t know what’s going on,”
he said.
Faulk’s lecture was sponsored by
MSC Great Issues and focused on
the implications for the future of
free speech in the United States.
Using his own background and
experiences during the McCarthy
era as a preface for his crediblity on
the subject, Faulk moved to a dis
cussion of present-day discrepancies
between governmental action and
constitutional intentions.
“We (the American public) went
into Vietnam having no idea we
were being carried into what became
a major American military operation
— a war,” Faulk said. “Three years
ago the mightiest, most powerful
and also the most affluent nation at
tacked the smallest, poorest island in
the Caribbean Sea. And our leader
not only stopped the press from re
porting what was happening — the
people’s right to know was abridged
— but the leader of our society also
said this is our proudest moment.
And the American people bought it.
This is McCarthyism in the 80s. This
is what’s happened to us. Instead of
being outraged at the invasion of
that tiny country we applauded it.”
Faulk blamed fear as the main
cause of the new McCarthyism.
“We have used fear as a means of
controlling politically what people
are going to do,” he said.
“The President’s right-hand man
Pat Buchanan said that we (White
House staff) are watching the vote
on the Contra aid because this will
test whether the Democrats are
going to support the President’s real
American view or are going to sup
port communism in Central Ameri
ca,” he said. “This is McCarthyism in
its most virulent form because they
are accusing you of being less than a
loyal American. This is what poisons
our society.”
Moving from the results of Mc
Carthyism to prevention, Fat!
warned that Americans must if |
vently guard their constitute
rights.
“When we allow our constitute
rights to be attacked and abused'
do poor service to our obligation!-
those generations that will comet
ter us,” he said. “This isaburdeni
us all. The Constitution is then#'
beautiful monument to the struct 1
of a people to extend greater
greater justice to a greater
greater number of the populatioi
“We are the only people in
world that has such a monune
We created that monument and i ;
up to us to maintain it.”

Adopt-A-Beach Program stirs up
college contest for spring break
By Susan Stubing
Reporter
In an effort to keep Texas
beaches beautiful, government offi
cials, citizens and college students
have joined forces to combat pollut
ion along the Texas shoreline. Texas
A&M will participate in the first
beach cleanup of its kind during
spring break.
The beautifying effort first was
introduced by the Center for Envi
ronmental Education, which spon
sored a statewide beach cleanup in
September 1986. The results were
encouraging, says Mike Connolly,
director of public information for
the General Land Office, with 124
tons of garbage collected by over
2,700 volunteers.
Connolly says Texas Land Com
missioner Garry Mauro gained an
awareness of the enormity of the
polluted beach problem through his
participation in the September ef
fort. This awareness prompted
Mauro to establish the Texas Adopt-
A-Beach Program, which he hoped
would attract public concern for the
problem, Connolly says.
“He (Mauro) wanted to institutio
nalize a standard for people to get
involved in beach cleanups,” he says.
The program — officially estab
lished in October 1986 — is similar
to the successful Texas Adopt-A-
Highway Program and operates on
the same principle of commitment,
Connolly says. Civic organizations,
cities, corporations, and individuals
are asked to adopt about one mile of
the Texas coast a year and to spon
sor at least three beach cleanups
during that time.
The first of these cleanups will be
sponsored on March 20 by the Texas
General Land Office in coordination
with the Texas State Student Asso
ciation and the Texas College Stu
dent Newspaper. The event will be
during the spring break of major
Texas colleges and universities, since
so many students head for the Texas
coast for their vacation, Connolly
says. The event will be along the
South Padre Island and Port Aran
sas shores. Schools tentatively com
peting in the cleanup also include
the University of Texas, Southern
Methodist University and the Uni
versity of Houston.
“Students always draw attention
to themselves anyway,” Connolly
says.
He says Mauro, an former A&M
student and former yell leader,
wanted to get students involved in a
worthwhile project that would re
flect positively on the students.
“We can make students a part of
the garbage solution instead of the
problem,” Connolly says.
Mauro and Connolly will be visit
ing each participating school before
the break to promote and explain
the event.
A competition among
ing universities and colleges is
uled to determine which group
students can collect the mosij
bage in the three-hour time li® 1 Nty si

Each school will have its (
