‘Practically, No’

Does CCHR
Really Exist?

By JANICE BARBER
Failure to implement pro-
grams for campus action and poor
attendance at meetings led the
Campus Committee on Human
Rights to question its own exist-
ence Tuesday night.

"We're getting ritualistic, do-
ing nothing concrete. We're get-
ting like the people we object to—
apathetic," Bill Turner, CCHR
chairman, said. "For all practical
purposes we are nonexistent."

There were 14 people attend-
ing the meeting. Three were
Negroes.

“Basically we exist to pro—
mote a better atmosphere for
the Negro student, the minority
student on this campus," Tumer
added. What CCHR needs to do
is make a ”concrete manifestation
of our fnrstration at this place,"
he said.

Johnson Asks Antiwar Students

To Consult Him Before Protesting

By DARRELL RICE

Demonstrators should inform
the administration beforehand of
their plans so a mutual under-
standing can be reached, Vice
President for Student Affairs Rob-
ert L. Johnson told a group of
antiwar students Tuesday night.

Mr. Johnson was speaking in
response to the group's previous
request that the administration
clarify its position on demonstra-
tions.

He said that it wasimpossible
to give a general statement about
ths University's stance on dem-
onstrations because ”this would
vary from building to building,
from time of day and from ac-
tivity to activity."

What could be agreed on, Mr.
Johnson said, is the administra-

tion's demand for conduct in a
specific situation and what course
of action would be followed in
case of certain kinds of misbe-
havior by the protesters.

Would Send Observer

Mr. Johnson spoke to the
group of about 10 on an informal

discussion basis.

He said if a group planning
a demonstration would come to
his office, Campus Police would
be present at the protest scene
to protect the demonstrators as
well as to enforce the Univer-
sity's regulations on protests.

When asked if it would be
possible to have someone from
the administration also present to
observe the police actions, Mr.
Johnson responded that he would

be happy to have such a person
there.

“We will by all means protect
the right to dissent. But we will
not have forcible disruption of
University business," Mr. John-
son said.

He was asked by members
the group about police action in
arresting the four students who
sat-in at the doorway of a re-
cmiter Nov. 12.

He answered, ”We in Student
Affairs will try to resolve the
situation short of using police.
This is the standard procedure."

But the procedure followed
at the Nov. 12 sit-in would be
used if a similar event were to
happen again he said, because
University ofiicials could not re
move the students without police
action.

Mammoth Antiwar Protest Stirs
San Jose State,- 5,000 Involved

SAN JOSE, Calif. (UPI)_—Antiwar_ militants,
who were driven off the San Jose State College
campus Monday by police using tear gas and
clubs, were blocked Tuesday by the college preSi-
dent.

Dr. Robert Clark agreed to talk of 51!!) dem-
onstrators outside the administration building
who were protesting the wee of recruiters
for Dow Chemical Co. , which manufactures napalm
used in Vietnam.

The crowd was being urged by some militant
leaders to storm the building and forcibly expell
the recruiters. Other students, including some who
peacefully picketed during the moming, called for
”non-violent" protest.

About 1,500 persons were driven off the campus
Monday by San Jose police and California highway
patrolmen, who threw tear gas cannisters into the
crowd and then slowly pushed it back. Police
moved in afler doors and windows were smashed
and paint splattered on the building.

Riot salad Ready
A few officers were inside the buildingTuesday,
while a ill-man riot souad stood by a block off

campus. About Z!) other officers were on standby
'alert.

But they weren't needed as the crowd quieted
down as Dr. Clark debated over bullhoms with
militant leader Ira Meltzer, 22, who was expelled
from school last month for a melee involving
Marine recruiters.

Meltzer had urged a noon rally to ”open the
building by force" and drive out the recruiters.
Instead, he argued with Dr. Clark until the school
president announced the recmiters had completed
their interviews and left the building. The crowd
then slowly dispersed.

There were two incidents Tuesday. Two leather-
jacketed Hells Angels were arrested after they
stmck several of the crowd with baseball bats
before the students drove them off campus. A large
group of students chased plainclothes officers for
about a block afier two militant protesters were
arrested. The pursuers stopped when the ar-
resting officers reached their 90 uniformed com-

rades.

Picketing began outside the building after
500 militant students and professors marched
out of an assembly called by school officials
to discuss the battle. About 1,“)0 ofthe schools
22“!) students were present when the assembly

began.

Nixon For GOP,

Pearson Predicts

Controversial columnist Drew Pearson reeled through a sheaf of
predictions Tuesday night that, if accurate, portend added drama
in the national and injemational situation.

Speaking at the Student Cen-
ter Grand Ballroom, Mr. Pearson
forecast that:

l The war in Vietnam will end,
by truce, in the fall of 1968
before the presidential election.

)Richard M. Nixon will cap-
ture the Republican presidential
nomination despite his reputa-
tion as a loser.

)Alabama's George Wallace
will win the electoral votes of
”some states in the South" in
1968, and hurt the Republicans
by doing it. He may also win
in Indiana, Ohio and New Jer-
sey, hurting the Democrats.

DThe candidacy of Sen.
Eugene McCarthy (D-Minn.)
”will have some influence," but
it cannot derail the candidacy
of President Johnson.

kThe Warren Report will go

down in history as ”basically'

correct."

kVice President Hubert Hum-
phrey again will be the mnning
mate of President Johnson.

)A settlement in the Middle
East can be reached only by
”the United States and Russia
getting together and dictating
peace terms to both the Israelis
and the Arabs."

With reference to the war,

Antiwar,

Sailors

Mr. Pearson said the most ob-
vious mistake of the adminis-
tration was to begin heavy bomb-
ing of North Vietnam.

He added that criticisms of
President Johnson relying too
much on civilian advice to con-
duct the war are unfounded. ”I
think the real case is just the
opposite," he said, pointing out I
that the President always has
enjoyed close contact with the
military establishment.

The journalist spoke atlength
of congressional ethics, noting
there are offenders other than
Rep. Adam Clayton Powell (D-
N.Y.) and Sen. Thomas Dodd
(D»Conn.)—both recently "pun-
ished" by Congress.

He estimated that at least
three or four senators and many
more congressmen are guilty of
unethical conduct. To solve the
problem, Mr. Pearson said, Con-
gress ”must adopt a standard of
ethical conduct and thereafter
live up to it.”

Of President Johnson, the col-
umnist said, ”He will go down
in history as having the most
constructive domestic program,
but one undermined by the war
in Vietnam."

Case
against

Ft. Detrick

By JAN B. HENSON
Political Science Junior

The recent controversy over Chemical
Biological Warfare and Mr. Witt’s letter
of Nov. 17 have moved me to write this
letter. I believe it to be important to
point out some of the facts about CBW
research in this country.

Mr. Witt gives the budget for CBW
as $117 million. In 1964, the total CBW
budget was $294.7 million. This broke
down into $158 million for Research and
Development and $136.7 million for ”Pro-
curement."

The CBW budget since 1964 has been
classified. Mr. Witt points out that this
is an insignificant fraction of the total
defense budget.

However, one may get some perspective
of our government's priorities by compar-
ing the CBW budget to the budget of
the US. Arms Control and Disarmament
Agency for 1967. It was $9.4 million.

The agents of CBW are: Sarin—a nerve
gas 30 times as toxic as mustard gas and
four times as toxic as the nerve gas
Tabun (both of these gases were developed
by the Germans in WW-II), LSD-25, B2—
a tear gas, DM—a vomiting gas not to
be used when deaths are unacceptable,
CS—a tear gas, and CN—a tear gas
that also bums. DM, CS, and CN are
known to have been used in Vietnam.

The main diseases of CBW interest
are (inter alia): botulism (Fort Detrick
scientists in WW-fl isolated a botulism
so virulent that 500 grams could wipe out
the world's population), tularernia, brucel-
losis, Q—Fever, anthrax, and equine en-
cephalitis.

Fort Detrick is made up of a $75
million building complex in Maryland.
This complex covers 1300 acres and em-
ploys in excess of 590 people. The chemi-
cal counterpart of Fort Detrick is Edge-
wood Arsenal.

The Dugway Proving Ground in Utah,
larger than Rhode island, employs 900.
In excess of 48 colleges, institutes, and
universities are known to be working on
CBW projects for the government.

Two of the largest known research cen-
ters are Johns Hopkins University ($1 mil-
lion of research with no findings pub-
lished) and George Washington Univer-
sity ($1,202,000).

The “Spicerack” and “Summit" pro-
jects at the University of Pennsylvania
were forced out of the university last
year by student and faculty protests.

Manufacturers working on CBW wea-
ponry are: Arthur D. Little Inc., Du-
Pont, Pine Bluff Arsenal (15,000 acres;
1400 employes; fills and assembles wea-
pons), Edgewood Arsenal, Rocky Mt. Ar-
senal, New Port, Ind. ($3.5 million an-
nually. Sarin manufactured and loaded
into arms, operating 24 hours a day
since 1960), and Muscle Shoals, Ala.

Rothschild In Tomorrow's Weapons,
says, “the division commander has avail-
able various artillery chemical shells
loaded with both mustard and CB, the
now-persistent nerve gas.

"Among his infantry weapons, he has a
number of 4.2 inch mortars which can fire
chemical shells at a high rate. The di-
vision commander will, also have 115 mm.
rockets and launchers available when he ,
needs them, although they are not rou-
tinely assigned.

"Each launcher is capable of firing
45 rockets in one ripple." The former
head of the Army Chemical Corps also
reports the following weapons: a 1000-lb.
cluster of 76 10.lb. CB bombs, Navy CB
shells for his 5—inch guns, a CB-filled
rocket, 500-lb, and 750-lb. bombs, and
spray tanks.

One must wonder what the defensive
purpose of these weapons might be. If
it is answered that they are a deterrent,
then why has the government supplied
only about 20,000 gas masks stored around
the country. This is about 10,000 people
per mask.

In contrast to Mr. Witt's contention
that CBW is ”humane," Ishould like to
quote Seymour Hersh. “What does non-
lethal mean? A 13—year old survivor of an
Egyptian gas attack told Judith Listowel,
a British joumalist whose account was
published in the Statist on Feb. 3 (1966),
‘I could not breathe and tears poured
from my eyes and I coughed and spat
blood; the pain was so terrible that I
knocked my head on the floor. . . those
who did not struggle much and tried to
breathe little could live.‘ "

Mr. Witt specifically mentions biolo-
gical weapons as humane. The British
infected the island of Cruinaid with an-
thrax during CBW research in WW-II.
Upon their return in 1960, they found the
island ”may be infected for 100 years."

This is an indication of how little we
know of the long-range dangerous effects
of CBW. (By the way Charles—napalm
is a CBW weapon.)

Victims of CBW would no more “die
. . . or . . recover completely" than
victims of blastomycosis, cholera, dengue
dysentery, encephalitis, glanders, Rift Val-
ley Fever, Rocky Mt. spotted fever, small-
pox, typhoid fever, thyphus, oryellow
fever contracted by ”natural causes."

Our present policy on CBW is stated
in the Army's Field Manual The Law of
Land Warfare as follows: “The United
States is not a party to any treaty,'now ..
in force, that prohibits or resists the
use in warfare of toxic or non-toxic gases,
of smoke or incendiary materials, or of
bacteriological warfare. "

It has been reported that in a closed
Congressional hearing in 1958, Maj. Gen.
William M. Creasy, then head of the
Army Chemical Corps, said, “Some of-
ficials indicate that the policy permits
first strike use of CBW weapons, but only
at the specific direction of the President."

It seems to me that the four senior
microbiology majors should at least con-
sider the moral questions involved in work-
ing for Fort Detrick. The death camps
in Cerrnany probably gave young German
scientists ”the finest opportunity for re-
search and graduate study in the na-
tion."

I should like to suggest, in order that
Mr. Witt might get a ”less lopsided"
view, the following books and articles
with which Jane Tieman Blair has al-
ready had some contact. Seymour Hersh’s
articles in the July 1, 1967 and May 6,
1967 issues of the New Republic; ”The
Physician's Role in the Defense Against
Biological Weapons," in the Jan. 7, 1962
issue of the AMA Journal, “Tomorrow's
Weapons" by I. H. Rothschild, Peace or
Pestilence by Theodore Rosebury, and two
articles by Elanor Langer in the Jan. 13,
1967 and Jan. 20, 1967 issues of Science.

Letters to the Editor

To The Editor Of The Kernel:

I am honored to have distinguished
gentlemen read my articles. Since I am
only an undergraduate, my little articles
are probably considered utter nonsense to
a few people or many for that matter.
So why read them? But for those, if any,
who like to read my poor grammar and
for those who do not, maybe an article
by someone with a degree from college
will be more interesting to a few readers.

The article is by Richard S. Wells,

1" ,1( (17.1,; . .
\ / it‘s" .

 

Associate Professor of Political Science
and Assistance Dean of the College of
Arts and Sciences at the University of
Oklahoma. His article, which appeared
in the Universities' paper on Oct. 24,
1967, is about a speaker who appeared
on the University of Oklahoma campus.

”Reaction to the recent appearance of
Mr. Paul Boutelle on the O.U. campus
raises quite serious questions about the
responsibilities of the University to itself
and the state. Speaking as one faculty
member (but one who hopes that others
feel likewise), I submit that the Univer-
sity's responsibilities to itself are in the
best interests of the state.

The principle that a responsible uni-
versity should be open freely to all views
is basic to its function as a site of know-
ledge.

This principle makes meaningful our
best weapon against the dangers of ig-
norance—i.e., an understanding of what
is happening in the world.

Why, after all, do we have univer-
sities? Presumably, we have them in order
to produce people who are knowledge
able enough to cope with the problems
that arise in the course of living as
society. .

If we have and maintain universities
to pass on, unchanged and unexamined,
the same beliefs, generation after gener-
ation, then we do little more than cele~
brate pleasant reveries. If old ideas, upon
examination, are adequate to our prob-
lems, then fine.

But others may be better, and others
may be causing our problems; in either
case they must be understood, and they
must be heard to be understood.

This argument is old, and simple, and
practical. It is also extremely difficult
to understand. After all, why should so-
ciety provide opportunities for people to
speak against its fondest ideas and prac-
tices? In a way it defies c0mmon sense.
But it also defies common sense if one
chooses to be ignorant. The university
exists to make ignorance a matter of
choice."

Ole Cal Woodward
Just a Junior Commercial ,

To The Editor Of The Kernel: '

When we think ‘of the hundreds of
innocent people we destroy and maim
with our bombs and napalm everyday
in Vietnam, let us thank God that some
people have the judgment to realize the
error of our war in Southeast Asia and
the courage to stand up for their beliefs
regardless of the threat of being made
scapegoats.

The four UK students who were re-
cently arrested, tried, and judged guilty
for their protest against recruiters fromthe
Defense Intelligence Agency were no more
criminal than the American Revolution-
aries of 1776.

In both instances injustice was and
is seen in the prevailing political reign,
and in both cases, people who feared
their own consciences more than unwar-
ranted persecution arose and took a stand.

The question is this: How can the
United States claim its war is to protect
the voice of the individual if the voice
of the individual must be suppressed for
the sake of the war?

Henry VIII and his six wives.
The play opened in New York

The play presents Henry VIII
as the archetype of the modern
Renaissance. The underlying ar—

that the political, scientific, and
military horrors of the present
originated in the Renaissance,
when men like Henry threw off
the fear of God and sought to
command their own destinies.

Teacher Corps Aims For School Excellence

By PRISCILLA DREHER

Years ago, and at that really
only a few years ago, the teacher
who ended up in the ghetto or
one-room school was the teacher
who just couldn't make it any-
where else. She was the old
teacher who had run out of pa-
tience and a way with children,
the teacher without a full col-
lege education or a teaching cer-
tificate. Years ago, the teacher
in the “poor" school was in fact,
noteacher.

The Teacher Corps at UK,
headed by Dr. Michael Robinson,
is a Federal government spon—
sored attempt to reach out and
help the poor and disadvantaged
school child. It is attempting
this by preparing college grad-
uates with liberal arts back-
grounds to teach and work with
the disadvantaged child.

”Our purpose, said Dr. Rob-
inson, is to have available a
training ground so that the corps-
rnan can get experience in work—
ing with the disadvantaged child,
and secondly to provide enrich—
ment, guidance, understanding
and inspiration for the child so
that he may learn to help him-
self."

In years past we couldn't get
good teachers to teach in the
schools that needed special teach-
ing more than anything else, he
said, ”but today it is becoming
almost a status symbol to teach
in the ghetto school."

55 Students Here

The UK Teacher Corps train-
ing center has 55 students who
are spending two years training
in public schools in Kentucky
and attending graduate classes
at UK. The students spend a
pre-service period of 13 weeks
training at select schools in the
area and then choose a school
either in Louisville, Harlan or
Breathitt County where they will
spend the remaining two years.
They come back to campus every
Friday and Saturday to attend
classes.

At the end of the two year
period the students will receive
the Master of Arts Degree in
Elementary Education and the
Kentucky Standard Elementary
Certificate, which is recognized
in most other states. Thus, the
program is a combination of aca-
demic study at the University
with an accompanying intern—

GOP Hopefuls Plan
For August, November

WASHINGTON (AP) — Like
schoolboys cramming for final
exams, Republican presidential
hOpefuls are doing their home-
work for next year's political ex-
aminations—even though these
ballot-box tests still are a win—
ter away.

The candidates are being tu-
tored by small armies of ex-

perts— men busily assembling
ideas, examining issues, packag-
ing proposals, charting strategy
and, in some cases, raising money
and building nationwide organi-
zations.

Three R's Of Politics

”Now is the timef' one such
tutor said. ”when the homework
will be done for next springs
drills.” Current efforts are con—
centrated on what he called "the
three R's—reading, writing and
research. "

In an office suite in New
York's bustling Wall Street dis-
trict for example, former Vice
President Richard M. Nixon and
his aides are producing speeches
and articles on domestic issues—
plus an ”issueoriented" book by
Nixon scheduled for publication
in late winter.

And in another office suite, a
few blocks from the Michigan
state capitol in Lansing, Gov.
George Romney's advisers have
worked for months on a foreign
policy plank calling for neutrali-
zation of troubled Southeast As-
ian nations.

Other COP possibilities — New

York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefel-‘

ler, California Gov. Ronald Rea-

Nixon Far Ahead

Nonetheless, Reagan is con-
tinuing his out-of-state speaking
forays and Percy is considering
a trip to Vietnam. While Rocke-
feller appears to be doing noth-
ing on the surface to advance
any presidential ambitions, sour-
ces report his supporters are be-
ginning to take soundings in the
Midwest.

Interviews with professional
politicians in \Nashingtou and
elsewhere show most think Nixon
now is far ahead in the scramble
for the right to oppose Presi-
dent johnson's expected re—elec-
tion bid.

Last week Nixon topped an As-
sociated Press poll of delegates

to the 1964 Republican National
convention as their favorite for
next year's GOP nomination. A
majority said they favor a Nixon-
Reagan ticket.

Romney strategists,conceding
they lag in the polls, hope the
Michigan governor's political
stock will rise now that he has
formally entered the race. His
announcement Saturday came six
weeks or more ahead of the time
candidates traditionally disclose
their intentions.

But some politicians say if
Romney starts an aggressive cam-
paign now, he runs the risk of
losing momentum before the COP
convention in Miami Beach, Fla,
next August.

Romney embarks Dec. 7 on a
trip through Europe, the Middle
East, Southeast Asia and the Far
East. On his return he is ex-
pected to swing quickly into the
New Hampshire primary carn—
paign by pounding away on his
proposal for neutralization of
North and South Vietnam—a
plan he says would ”defuse the
war."

Although everyone agrees Nix-
on has a comfortable leadin New
Hampshire now, his associates
expect the gap to narrow once
the campaign starts there. ”Nix-
on by one touchdown or less,"
is how one sees the outcome
of the March 12 primary ballot-
ing.

Reagan's supporters are plan-

ning a write-in campaign in New

Hampshire—an effort the Calif-
ornia governor has disavowed.
His name probably will appear
on primary ballots in Wiscon-
sin, Nebraska and Oregon, where
he can't remove it without sign-
ing an affidavit swearing he is
not a candidate for president.

Nixon men expect Reagan sup-

porters to wage well-financed,
professionally managed campai-
gns in both New Hampshire and
Wisconsin. ”We don't view it as
anything but a tough, vigorous
horse race," one said.

steadfastly denying
presidential ambitions all the
while, has made scores of
speeches across the nation since
his election to the Senate last
year. And, according to his spe-
cial Chicago consultant Torn
llouser, he may go to Vietnam
sometime next year on a fact-
finding tour.

ship in classrooms located in
poverty areas.

Each student receives $75.00
weekly plus $15.00 weekly for
each dependent. No tuition or
fees are charged for classroom
studies.

Students are divided into
groups of five with a team leader
who observes them in the class—
room. This is a new concept,
Dr. Robinson said, and the role
of a team leader—a teacher with
a masters degree and five years
teaching experience—is to guide
the intem.

Morehead and Western Uni—
versities also have Teacher Corps

programs, but they are each only '

working with one group of stu-
dents because they did not re-
ceive funds for the continuation
of their program, Dr. Robinson
said.

Head Clubs, Tutor

is devoted to planning activities

as tutoring after school, working

said.

Dr. Robinson has a unique
background to qualify him for
his position. He has taught
classes from kindergarten to grad-
uate school. A graduate of Colum—
bia University, he received his
Ph.D. from Harvard.

Having been principle of an
all—Negro elementary school in
Michigan for nine years, Dr. Rob—
inson strongly feels the need for
adequately trained teachers of
the poor.

One day when no substitute
teacher was available for a class,
Dr. Robinson taught it himself,
as he often had to do. ”I opened
the teacher's plan book and saw
that the first thing to be taught
was health," he said. ”So we

started to read about health in
China, and keeping clean in
Japan and other far away na-
tions," he said.

“I realized right at that mo-
ment that this was so unrelated
to how these children lived that
it was not even worthwhile. We

changed our program and taught
the children thethings they really

need to know: how todress warm-
ly, how to cook, why they should
have a good breakfast. This be-
came our health program," Dr.
Robinson said.

”This school became a dem-
onstration center for the country
and many foreign visitors came to
observe the changes We made,
changes that had meaning and
relevance to the children," he
added.

So the Teacher Corps and Dr.
Michael Robinson work hand in
hand to train teachers who will
understand the special needs of
the disadvantaged child—and
meet those needs adequately.

“More Than Filling Teeth’

By JANICE BARBER

Dentistry is more than just
filling a tooth. It's teaching pre-
ventive measures to communities,
working to improve dental con—
ditions, determining dental
health, and working on clinical
community based research.

This fact really hit home for
22 dental students participating
in UK's Community Dentistry
Fellowship Program for eight
weeks last summer.

The dental students, 20 from
UK and two from the University
of Puerto Rico, pursued individ—
ual cli
