LaRouche and Schiller
Institute: Saturating AUC
Center For False Cause
Perhaps, you have noticed the
clippings strategically placed
around campus informing you
that “The Second Depression is
Here," or “10,000 March to Feed
Africa," etc. (However, your
initiation may have been more
direct, you possibly have already
been approached by an un
familiar person inviting you to an
upcoming lecture concerning a
pertinent Black issue. Regardless
of the means used, the message
ir very clear: The presence of
Lyndon LaRouche and the
Schiller Institute can be felt
throughout the Atlanta Universi
ty Center.
Exactly who is Lyndon
LaRouche? Lyndon LaRouche is
a man who has run for president
of the United States twice in the
last decade. The first time in 1976
he ran on the U.S. Labor Party
ticket and in 1980 as a Democrat
(opposing that party’s wishes).
The first time LaRouche ran he
was on the ballot in 26 states and
acquired 40,043 votes. In 1980 he
was on the ballot in ten or so
states. Until LaRouche lost the
primary, he qualified for $526,-
000 in federal campaign funds.
Aside from politics, LaRouche
is actively promoting nuclear
development. The Schiller In
stitute is basically the latest
offspring of the LaRouche
network. It was founded last May
and since that time has been one
of the strongest organizations
LaRouche uses to back his ideas.
For instance, on Jan. 15, Martin L.
King, Jr.’s birthday, the Schiller
Institute organized a demonstra
tion in Washington, D.C. called a
march for the “Inalienable
Rights of Man”. As usual, the
organization was successful in
getting many Blacks to attent the
march.
However, the initial innocense
of this march is misleading. It is
imparative that we recall the
many excessive changes
LaRouche has made over the
years. In essence, LaRouche has
moved from Marxism to a Con
servative Democrat, or so he
leads us to believe. However, the
general will of LaRouche appears
to be total domination.
Why is he so dangerous to
Black people? Basically, because
members of LaRouche’s
organization are cunning, and
have realized the easiest way to
approach us is through showing
an interest in our plights. For
example, how many of us would
denounce someone who shows
an interest in aiding South
Photo Opinion: Do you feel that students
are passive or active about political and
economic concerns that affect them?
Lori M. Willis -
"Students are passive about economic and political affairs
because they may not understand the issues or are simply unaware
of what’s going on in today’s world.”

“1 feel that students are passive because they may feel that
economic affairs do not affect them as severly as they affect the
people that work full time in our society.”
Tammy Smith -
"Yes, students are passive about political and economic affairs
that affect them. While most are aware of the political and
economic situation, they are not aware of how these issues
directly affect them.

Africa? It is here that LaRouche
has realized our vulnerability
and from here that he attempts
to have us join his organization.
Yet, all indicators seem to say
that LaRouche is not really fond
of Black people. He has publicly
attacked Jesse Jackson and Trans
Africa (an organization noted for
its work in South Africa).
The Schiller Institute has been
known to keep ties with the Klu
Klux Klan. So why does the
Schiller Institute attempt to
induct Black members? The
answer is not readily available.
Many seem to believe that their
motive of total domination is
strengthened with their ability to
brainwash people. Hence, they
seek to make us tools of their
organization without any true
desire to aid us.
How can we avoid this trap
being used by the followers of
Lyndon LaRouche?
Remember to ask questions
when being approached by an
unfamiliar person suggesting
you join his organization.
Perhaps, even more importantly
is to remember that these in
dividuals are very cunning and
will use all avenues to gain your
trust. It is because of this that we
must use every channel we have
available to resist their
dangerous and self-destructivp
offers.

Survey Locates Jobs For
1985 College Graduates
Over 15,00 entry-level jobs for
college graduates in the class of
1985 have been uncovered in a
national survey of employers.
The survey, conducted by THE
BLACK COLLEGIAN Magazine, a
leading collegiate periodical;
identifies the top 100 employers
of new grads with bachelor’s,
graduate and professional
degrees. A related exclusive
survey also pinpoints the majors
in greatest demand by these
employers. The results of both
surveys can be found in the
March/April 1985 issue of THE
BLACK COLLEGIAN.
Officials at the companies
provided their projections for
the total number of hires they
expect to make from all college
graduates this year. A rank order
list of the “Top 100 Employers for
1984-85” provided some ex
pected results and some sur
prises. G.E., Electronic Data
Systems, Liberty Mutual, Ford
Motors and the National Security
Agency are among the
employers with the largest
number of job openings. Sur
prisingly, the survey showed
several independent school dis
tricts to be experiencing large
hiring needs. The largest
category of jobs were found in
Government/Defense - 33%;
Computer/Engineer - 19%;
Education/Medical - 9%; In
surance - 9%; Oil/Petroleum -
4%.
"College graduates for 1985
are in the home stretch of their
four-year pursuit of a satisfying
job leading to a career. For some
the pursuit has netted only
uncertainty and. frustration with
the job market. These graduates
have no jobs and they don’t
know where to look," according
to THE BLACK COLLEGIAN. The
March/April JOBS issue of the
magazine carries the complete
survey results.
The JOBS issue also provides
the annual Industry by Industry
Assessment of the 1985 Job
Outlook for Black college
graduates, plus a job index which
list those employers actively
recruiting Black college
students.
