Thomas Blasts Campaign Conduct,
Supports LBJ - Humphrey Ticket
By DARRELL HANCOCK
Thresher Staff Reporter
"This campaign is being run
on the lowest level in my
memory," began socialist Nor-
man Thomas in a Tuesday night
campus appearance sponsored
by the Rice Forum Committee.
In a speech often broken by
applause or occasional heckling,
the aged veteran of six Presi-
dential campaigns gave his
views on the current campaign.
In his first direct mention of
the Republican c andidate,
Thomas charged Goldwater of
appealing to racism. "I don't
know that Mr. Goldwater really
respects, the Negro."
"There is a conservatism that
could be very well stated, and
it would gain my respect, but
not my support," he said. "But
civil rights ought not even be
a campaign issue."
States' Rights
Thomas attacked the argu-
ment of states' rights applied
to civil liberties: "People are
the units of societv." Then he
termed states' rights "the sub-
ox-dination of individuals to
states."
"I am supporting the Johnson-
Humphrey ticket although I'm a
socialist," Thomas stated. When
asked what he thought would
be the effect of his support, he
replied, "It will be immensely
beneficial." He added, "I am
part of the way with LBJ."
Thomas charged the Republic-
an nominee with voting against
progressive legislation "because
he knows in his heart."
'In His Heart'
When discussing the Senator's
motive for running, the speaker
jibed, "He knew in his heart
things were wrong, and right
wa^ right." Similar comments
continued to amuse the audience
throughout the address.
Sporadic heckling from the
audience didn't start, however,
until Mr. Thomas began speak-
ing of the Socialist Party plat-
form.
Boos were mixed with the
applause that greeted his first

mention of the platform, "The
state should plan so that pro-
duction is directed toward the
common good and toward wiping
out poverty."
Two conditions were cited to
emphasize the relevance of the
principles of the Socialist
Party.
Deprived of War
"First," he said, "mankind is
rationally deprived of the in-
stitution of war since the de-
velopment of nuclear weapons."
"Out of a (nuclear) holocaust
Liberty would not walk serene.
Liberty and war cannot co-exist.
W e 've got to co-exist and
search for liberty."
Second, Thomas referred to
America's "economy of abund-
ance." He discussed unemploy-
ment caused by cybernetics, then
mentioned the poverty issue.
Outlining the Socialist plat-
form, Thomas listed civil rights,
a war on poverty, and a war on
war as its principle features.
"We don't require any more
laws in civil rights. We need to
examine the job situation among
Negroes."
Thomas received perhaps his
loudest ovation after he said,
"There is no greater goal than
wiping out poverty. It would re-
quire energy, time, money, and
thought, and the co-operation
of cities, states, and the nation."
In calling for disarmament,
the socialist leader warned,
"We've got to get rid of the
idea that God or the world has
called on us to defend the world
against Communism, and we've
got to get rid of the idea that
we could win a war with that
aim."
Academic Major
In Geology Gets
Faculty Approval
The faculty has voted to ap-
prove an undergraduate aca-
demic major in Geology in ad-
dition to the S-E program al-
ready established.
Students taking the new ma-
jor will be required to take
two science-engineering electives
in the junior and senior years
in addition to the normal aca-
demic major requirements and
five geology courses.
Geology Professor J. A. S.
Adams said he viewed the pro-
gram as an experiment. "Some
people have done very well in
geology in the past who have
not had rigorous math and phy-
sics backgrounds."
