  • THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 3,1977 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 7 World in balance U.S. foreign policy contrary to Third World ambitions by GARY RICHARDSON Last year, Julius Nyerc. 1'resnlent of Tanzania, was asked how the United States could better its faltering relations with Africa. His answer was simple and direct. The United States, he replied, must remember that it also once struggled violentK for its own independence. America has come | long way since its revolutionary beginnings to a countrv which now has a repution tor acting contrary to the interests and aspirations ot the Third World. As the Carter Administration enters the White House we as a people must re-examine this though provoking question. Is it necessary that we, the first Of colonies to declare independence anil struggle lor economic self-sufficiency, must abdicate our responsibilities to those African countries which are now engaged in that same struggle? When considering this question one must first identify the nature of our predicament which stems from the Nixon-Kissinger policy towards Africa. It was derived from an antiquated concept entitled "spheres of influence." Dr. Kissinger formulated this policy by dividing the world into three zones of control, that of Russia's, China's, and our own. Implicit in this policy was the belief that world peace depends upon the stability of these imaginary lines, lhe resulting effect of this theory is that Africa only marginally existed as a focal point of concern except when the current equilibrium of these spheres was being altered. lhe belief that unbalances in the world's three spheres of influence may be combatted by the diplomatic or military intervention is both reactionary and counterproductive. Ihe U.l). involvement in Angola is a prime example. This escapade can only be described as ridiculous, lhe United States long ignored the inevitability of independence for Angola. Mozambique, and Guinea Bissau by giving economic and military support to the Sala/ar dictatorship of Portugal due to its link with NATO and the dubious necessity of preserving our military presence in the A/ores. However, in the interim period between the end of Portugese facism and the beginning of Angolan Civil War the United States remained silent. It was only when the U.S.S.R and Cuba aligned themselves with the MP1.A that we intervened in the Conflict to combat Russian hegemony. The State Department's analysis of the situation failed to consider several important points. First the causes of the war were largely ethnic, not ideological. It is fallacious to believe, in this instance, that either the FNLA, UNITA. or the MI'l \ could have been converted to a pro-Western stance after such a long guerilla struggle against a Colonial power. Also. American involvement in the Angolan Civil War implicated us to the same degree as the other foreign participants in lhe eves ol Africa. Naturally, main Africans laugh at Kissinger's assertion of U.S. belief in self-deter initiation tor newly Independent African nations. Our effort to thwart Soviet hegemony in Africa is a valid one. However, our objectives can never be achieved with the policies now in existence. We must first, as Nvrere suggests identify ourselves with those people who are struggling for independence. Secondly, we must treat African countries as sovereign states .mil not as blacks under the influence of a super power, I he United States must understand that African countries in alliance with the remainder of the Third World will one day become economically self sufficient and powers in their own right. We must take note of this trend for when it materializes we shall be remembered not as an antagonist but as a country which aided them in their long struggle. Next week 1 shall begin discussing specific means of implementing a foriegn policy which in the long run will identify ourselves with Africa. Night Moves: Seger exhibits mid-Western obscurity by GREG L. TEETSELL Album Reviewer Night Moves Bob Seger [Capitol/EMI] Wind and Wutherings Genesis[Atco/WEA| Eli Jan Akkerman and Kaz Lux [Atlantic/WEA] Carla and I sat at the stereo throwing empty bottles of Richard's Triple Peach at each other. Hurling obscenities as added incentive; you know, the typical night in Cullowhee, the sort of night Freddie Prinze would have really loved. If it wasn't for Valium and cheap wine, I really don't think I could stand the pressure. And then there's Rock and Roll. I figured that Rock and Roll was more fickle than just about anything else in this world, like I really assumed that Carla would never forgive me for the Akkerman/Lux LP. You may recall a Dutch band called Focus from a few years back. There was one Top 10 hit. Hocus Pocus. yodel and all that. Well their hot shot lead guitar player, I had assumed had gone on to play that jazz nonsense from the way he'd carried on with Focus. OK, well their ex-lead guitar player Jan Akkerman, drummer Pierre van der Linden and some singer named Kaz Lux (the guy used to sing Pepsi jingles for the pirate radio stations in Holland...) have teamed up and made a damn tine Rock and Roll "concept" album. Enough about them for now. OK, Bob Seger is probably an unknown to most record buyers in the South, outside of Mobile and New Orleans, where Seger has a strong cult following. But this is about to change. I chucked another bottle at Carla. finally hit her, she threatened to take my Valium away and agreed that Hob Seger and all of his Mid-western obscurity would be good for the masses. "Anybody who can get away with being sentimental about screwing in Ohio cornfields has got to be OK." Carla may be right. Night Mov es is Seger's first "national breakout" LP and his twelfth or so LP in terms of the Detroit-Cleveland axis. No, not very many people bought Bob Seger outside of Michigan for years, and no joke, this guy could sell a million albums in Michigan and nobody would give him the time of day elsewhere. So the rest of the country was wrong, OK? Night Moves gives all of us from the suburbs a perspective. So what about the country, or the city proper? The country has its own and Uptown music has been talked about since the 1920's; where are the shopping malls, vandalism, and idle sex going to be romanticized? In Bob Seger, that's where. You can hear the single on the AM radio, not that it matters, but AM radio, in a car, makes the record sound so much more life-like, and if you listen, you can hear the eternal heat and frustration, but only if you still believe In Rock and Roll. Neither of us can decide about the new Genesis LP, Wind and Wutherings. It sure sounds like the Old (icnesis and all, and the excitement is still there even with the recent personnel changes. I am very moved by this album as it is a reaffirmation that "hippie musick" is not dead, that somebody still thinks drugs are a "BIG DUAL" and all that. I don't really believe in any other drugs than the wine section at the Svlva A&P but what Ihe hell... All right, the last album to consider is the fust album considered, Eli by Jan Akkerman and Kaz litis is great Euro-Rock in the strictest sense. Kaz Lux is a great singer, accent aside. This guy- sounds like Steve Winwood at his prime and Eric Burdon at his most intoxicated. Eli seems to be a concept album, apparently about an aging Amsterdam pimp. Story aside, the whole thing is the vibrance of the musicians. Something is happening in the studios of the Netherlands...great 1972- sounding Rock and Roll, I guess inspired by the ZoSo Led Zeppelin album, is seeping out into the Zuider Zee. Carla likes Eli and I like Eli and there's no reason that Jan Akkerman. the lead guitarist on this really great piece of studio work shouldn't be really proud of this LP. I would like to see this tour, if there is one,..Christ. There's broken glass in my forehead. Hope, Gibbons, Murphy: 'Ignorant piece of trash' Dear Editor: The letter to the editor by Hope, Gibbons and Murphy in the February 1 Western Carolinian was, without a doubt, one of the most ignorant peices of trash I have ever had the good fortune to read. The real surprise was not that someone could write such a letter, but that three people would sign their names to it. It's existence is a proof of the theory that the gaining of knowledge (which is, after all, our purpose here in Cullowhee) does not necessarily entail an increase in wisdom. The three students who signed their names to the letter claim that a student newspaper is exclusively a creature of the student body, and '••':•■ ■ ■>•: therefore should not permit the contributions or ideas of anyone outside the student body to be printed. They mourn the good of days when the paper carried only student opinions, and was "always on our side" while being a "thorn in the side of the administration and the community." Thus they express their belief that the Western Carolinian should always support the student- oriented side of an argument, be it right or wrong. Such a paper, that practiced such a biased viewpoint, would be far worse than a "sorry excuse for third-rate journalism!'' They condemn the articles of Dr. Tom O'Toole and Greg Teetsell as incomprehensible. Yet without the writings of O'Toole. Teetsell and others like them, the Western Carolinian would be reduced to news and contacts, rather dull reading. Even though one may disagree with what they write, their presence in the paper helps to promote it's function: not just to inform, but to get people to think! Besides everything else, the writers of the letter seemed to think that they needed to include an obscenity to gain attention to their put-down, something that's becoming more of a trend every day. Mr. Butz would understand. I'm sure. Michael Yonce
