Ca mbridgc Votes

Against Pullout
In Vietnam War

By RICHARD GROSS

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (UPI)—Voters in this university city op-
pose by a (Ho-2 margin the immediate withdrawal of American

troops from Vietnam, incomplete
dum showed Tuesday.

Returns from 30 of the city's
55 precincts showed 9,368 against
withdrawal and 6,252 in favor.
There were 1,123 “blanks”—bal-
lots in which there was no vote
counted for one reason oranother,

officials said.

The voting took place Nov.
7 in the city's municipal election
but counting was delayed be--
cause absentee ballots on the
Vietnam issue were not sent out
in time. The ballots, kept in a
bank vault from election day un-
til Tuesday, were counted in the
ofi‘ices of the Election Commis-
sion.

Cambridge, home of Harvard
University and Massachusetts In-
stitute of Technology, was one
dtwo major US. cities to vote
Nov. 7 on the Vietnam question.

San Francisco voted down a
similar ballot question calling for
a ceasefire and pullout of US.
troops by approximtely 1324!!)
to76,6m.

A city of %,677, Cambridge
has 44,805 regsteredyoters.

Harvard Square Close

Ward 1, a predominantly
lower middle class area with a
strong immigrant background,
voted 2,465 against withdrawal
and 768 in favor.

In Harvard Square, where
most college students live and
there is an active peace move
ment, the vote was a narrow
l,%9 in favor of a US. pullout
and 1,137 against.

The Canbridge Neighborhood
Committee on Vietnam, which
sponsored the proposal, said a
vote of more than 40 percent in
favor of the proposal would be
a victory for the anti—Vietnam
war group.

“Such a turnout would be a
very powerful repudiation of the
Johnson administration’s war
policy," said Victoria Bonnell,
a member of the group's steering
committee.

The counting was the culmio

returns from a city-wide referen-

tion of a long legal battle over 1

whether the issue of American

forces in Vietnam had a nlace .

in namicipal elections. A Mid-
dlesex County court ordered the
city manager to have the peti-
tion printed in time for the elec-

tion. It appeared as a separate
ballot.

Called For Withdrawal

The City Council at first de-
clined to adopt the first petition
for citywide consideration by the
neighborhood committee. If the
council had voted for it, the pe-
tition would have placed Cam-
bridge on record opposing the war
and calling for immediate return
(I fighting men.

In San Francisco, it took a
mling by the California Supreme
Court to force the issue onto the
city ballot.

The Cambridge referendum
said, in part:

”Whereas thousands of Amer-
icans and Vietnamese are dying
in the Vietnam war; whereasthis
war is not in the interests of
either the American or Vietna-

, mese people; therefore be it re

solved that the people of the
City d Cambridge urge the
[rompt return home of Amer-4
ican soldiers from Vietnam."

W .
McNamara Pushed?

WASHINGTON (UPI) — The
World Bank confirmed Tuesday
night that Defaise Secretary Rob-
at S. McNamara had been nom-
inated as its new president and
an argumait broke out on the
Senate floor over whether his im-

 

‘paiding departure from the Pent-

agon was really voluntary.

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-
Mass.) whose late brother
brought Mr. McNamra into the
cabinet in 1981, said he had heard
that Mr. Mama's shift tothe
intanational lending institution
“wasn't a question that he sub-
mitted his resignation."

 

About 20 members of the Peace Action Group
met Tuesday night to discuss tacties for their
planned protest against Marine recruiters. The
protest is scheduled to begin at 9:25 a.m. Monday

and to continue through the week. Read-ins,

soap box discussions and draft counseling are
expected to take precedence over picketing. The
group intends to rmn a table near a Marine
recruiting station in the Student Center.

 

Rowdy Wisconsin Crowd

Disrupts Discipline Hearing

MADISON, Wis. (UPI)—
Shouting, whistling students
Tuesday forced postponement of
a hearing by a University of
Wisconsin committee consider-
ing disciplinary action against
the leaders of a violent anti-
Vietnam war demonstration.

The acting chairman of the
Student Conduct and Appeals
Committee, Law School Dean
George Young, postponed the
hearing until later Tuesday when
it became obvious he could not
proceed because of the tumult.

The committee was consider-
ing what action to take against
Robert S. Cohen, Levittown,
Pa.; William C. Simons, Keno-
sha; Carlos F. Joly, Baltimore,
Md.; Mana Lee Jennings, Arling-
ton, Pa., Robert Weiland, Flush-
ing, N. Y., and Daniel Bernstein,
New York City.

The students were involved
Oct. 18 in a protest against the
Dow Chemical Co., which makes
napalm for the war. Police used
night sticks and tear gas to break
up the demonstration and about
70 persons were injured.

About 150 of the school’s

33,000 students staged a sit-in
in the UW Commerce Building.

Courtroom Packed

Students jammed a Law
School courtroom on afirst-come,
first-serve basis Tuesday and
Dean Young ordered the doors
locked when the room was filled.
Some students came in through
windows and others milled about
in a corridor and outside the
windows.

Five uniformed police officers
were on the scene. No arrests
were reported.

Percy Julian Jr., an attorney

Percy Julian Jr., an attor-
ney representing the students,
scolded Dean Young for locking
the doors.

”I don't think it is a public
meeting with the doors locked,n
Mr. Julian said. ”This is no
place for police officers. This is
no place for armed men to stand
in the doorway."

Dean Young refused to open
the doors or to move to larger
quarters.

Cohen and Simons Spoke de—
spite Dean Young’s request that

only their counsel speak. Cohen
was involved in a brief shoving
rmtch with a police ofiicer, a
witness said.

Cohen, arrested several times
in antiwar protests here, called
Dean Young and the committee
”flunkies of the administration."
He said he wanted an open hear-
ing to expose the committee.

Simons demanded Dean
Young confiscate a newsmn’s
tape recording of the proceed-
ings. The dean refused.

 

Second Try

LOUISVILLE (AD—Leroy
Highbaugh Jr., who tried once
to block a merger between Kai-
tucky Southern College and the
University of Louisville, will
rmke another attempt Wednes-
day at the college trustees' meet-
mg.
Highbaugh said he believes
the merger isn't needed any long-
er because of a successful fund
raising campaign carried on by
Kentucky Southern studaits.

 

Critics Attack, Military Defends ROTC At UK

By DARRELL RICE

Much of the controversy sur-‘,
rounding the Vietnam war has
spilled over to ROTC. ‘

At this University, as at rmny, ,
ROTC is the most obvious and
most permanent manifestation of
the military. Meanwhile, ques-
tions are being raised about the
validity of any military role in
higher learning.

What, then, can be said for
ROTC? And what can be said
against it?

Col. John Delap, chairman of
the Air Force ROTC program
here, says, “The idea of the pro-
gram is to enable a young nun
who is interested in an Air Force
career to get the career and earn
a degree at the same time.”

He feels ROTC should be d-
fered because "a university has
to address itself to a very broad
spectrum of individuals."

 

Col. Howard Parker, chair-
man of the Army ROTC, gives
this explanation of the program:

. "Our mission is to developyoung

men capable of becoming om-
cers."

He compares ROTC's purpose
to the College of Education’s
trying to produce teachers and
the Music Department's trying
to produce composers.

Undue Pressures?

But some people have chal-
lenged ROTC by saying it tends
to undermine the purpose of a
university by hindering the free
search of ideas.

Expressing this view is Dr.
Fred Brouwer, assistant profes-
sor of philosophy, who says of.
ROTC, “It puts undue pressures!
on the student to become part!
(I an establishment and prevents

 

lishment."

Dr. Brouwer says that if it
has a place here, the ROTC pro-
gram should be apart from the
liberal arts school and that it
should be conducted as a post-
graduate prdessional school.

But he believes orin graduates

himmmevdustinsthat unb- of the liberal m. sectorofthe

university should be eligible to
take part in ROTC because such
people could ”get into the mili—
tary to introduce independent
judgments."

"I think the liberal arts are
an evaluation of all parts of life
including the power structures,
which includes the military," Dr.
Brouwer notes. ”While ROTC
is a part of the liberal arts pro-
gram, there will be pressure to
prevent a free evaluation of all
aspects of our society."

DrillOnTheLawn

Dr. Robert Pranger, assistant
professor of political science, also
has some reservations about
ROTC in is present form.

”Military and university func-
tions are not synonymous," he
says, though admitting that the

Foliam does provide pe0ple for
the military.

”But I never have been terri-
bly fond of military drill on the
front lawn," Dr. Pranger remarks.
He feels such activities have their
ovum place—in training camps.

Dr. Pranger adds that the Uni-
versity could ofi'er courses in mili-

tary history and possibly a minor_

in military affairs, taught in ac-
cordance with standard univer-
sity procedure.

Rifle Care Vetoed

Omitted from such a curricu-
lum would be care and cleaning
of rifles, marching and alerts,
he says. "These are similar to
extracurricular activities, and I'm
not at all convinced they should
be done on University time."

Col. Parker oflers some argu-
ments to these points: "We're
after the truth Just the same as
any other youpis.We gothrough

Threatened demonstrations
by the Peace Committee kept CIA

recruiters away from the campus.

About 30 demonstrators awaited
the recruiters outside the Admin-
istration Building. A spokesman
for the recniiters said he had
been ordered by Washington not
to conduct interviews if there
was to be any type of demon-
stration.

St. John's University

St. John's is holding a trial
period on “limited dress." Dur—

Women students still are forbid-
den to wear slacks to class.

Marshall University

A weekend conference of about
210 students from colleges and
universities in West Virginia
drafted resolutions condemning
the war in Vietnam. Conference
delegates felt the bombing of
North Vietnam must be stopped
and deescalation of the war be-
gin immediately.

Portland State College

Two members of the Student
Covemment of Portland State
went directly to state legislators
with complaints about lack of
state funds to support the col-
lege. Tim Dorosh, student body
president, and Darrell Geiger,
senator, circulated an outline of
financial needs to a special ses-
sion of the Oregon legislature.
The outline, in asking for in-
creased funds, said, “We feel
that a shortage of funds will
jeopardize Portland State's fu-
ture ability to meet the increased
educational demands upon it."

University of Pittsburgh

An ad hoc committee at the
University of Pittsburgh recently
conducted a survey of student
off-campus housing conditions.
According to jack La Pietra,
chairman of the Student Covem-
ment off-campus housing com-
mittee, the conditions are ”both
deplorable and dangerous, and
we feel that they should be cor-
rected." The housing committee
is planning to begin a survey of
all student apartments and to
formulate a plan of action.

People Play," sponsored by the
YM-YWCA. Students and faculty
were divided into five different
groups -— administration, faculty,
‘in' group, ‘out' crowd and small
vocal minority. The conference
consisted of five different games
in which the groups were thrown
into real life situations faced by
students, faculty and adminis-
trators. Some of the germs were
the ”I'm-Only-Trying-To-Help-
You Came," played by the ad-
ministrators as they tried to set
up university mics, the "King-
Making Came—Student Style,"
in which student leaders tried
to influence the administration,
and the "We-Don't-Need—You-
But- Boy - Do -You-Need-

protesters marched against the
administration's policies. The
purpose of the games was to
develop a better understanding
of problems faced by adminis-
trators, faculty and students.

Foreign S

By LARRY DALE KEELINC

Adjusting to college life isn't
easy for anyone. But sometimes
it can be even more difficult
for a student from another coun-
try. .

A foreign student not only
has to adjust to college itself,
he has to adjust to many other
things like language, custorm
and food.

Nabeel F uad Haidar feels that
the biggest adjustment for him
was in going from a smaller
school to a larger one. Haidar
got his masters degree in physics
from the American University of
Beirut which has only about 3,0“)
students. He is here working on
his doctorate.

”At the American University
of Beirut there were only ten
graduate students in chemistry,"
he said. "Students knew profes-
sors like a son knows a father.
If you had a problem, every-
body knew and cared."

According to Haidar, the sys—
tem of teaching at the two uni-_
versities is about the same. He
thinks that the American Univer-
sity of Beirut is harder.

According to Haidar, a Leba-
nese student who wants to be-

come a sophomore must pass a
Lebanese baccalaureate examina-

tion in English. And he has to
pass with some to spare. ”If
eighty is passing, he has to make
a ninety to stay in school,"
Haidar said.

Another thing Haidar finds
diflerent about the two schools is
that the entertainment facilities

in Beirut are centered around the~ ‘

campus. Here they aren't.

Silvio Cortez, an economics
major from Columbia, also found
social activities different here.

”You don't have social activi-
ties for the whole University
here," he said. ”In Latin America
the student center would have
activities for all the teachers and
students to get together just for
the heck of it."

Corta said that his major
problem in adjusting to an Amer-
ican school has been the lan-
guage, because he didn't know
any English upon arriving in the
States.

Cortez said he had not planned
on attending UK but was ”just

traveling" when he decided to

stay. He spent three months
auditing courses at the Univer-
sity and reviewing the last three
years of high school at Henry
Clay to impove his English.

Cortee said that he has found
much more class participation

’here, especially in the upper di-

vision seminar type classes.

“Some professors allow you to:

question what they say here,"
he said, and ”this is not as true
in Latin America.”

The only complaint Cortea
has is student pressure from so
numy tests.

"They give very large tests

here," he said, “and don't give
you enough time, likethree finals
on one day. Tests mean too much
here. In Latin America more em—
phasis is placed on inclass work
and’discussions with the profes-
sor.
“On the whole, though, the
system is pretty good here. Some-
how, as a foreign student, you
get extremely motivated."

Bernard Boiston, a second
year law student from France,
feels that tests help to refresh
your memory. According to him,
having a grade for each semes-
ter's work that stands is different
than it is in France.

”In France,” he said, ”every-
ting depends on a final exami-
nation that covers everything
you've had in college. You can
be a straight A student for four
years and for some reason blow
the final and you’re out of luck."
Boiston said that education

on where you live and how much
in taxes you pay."

Boiston found other things
different here too. Food is one
of them.

”Our diets are entirely dif-
ferent, ' ’ he said. ”You have things
here like sweet potatoes and ap-
ple sauce that we don't have
in France."

“(American) women are also
different,” he added. “They are
more materialistic and dating is
more superficial. "

Boiston said that adjustment
for a foreign student depends
somewhat on whether he is plan-
ning on staying here or not.

He said that if a student is
planning on staying he will prob-
ably run into more problems than
one who isn’t, for he will have
to be able to live with things
as they are.

‘_‘If a guy is just here for one
Or two years," he said, ”he will
just go along with the game."

So, whether it is food, lan-
guage, or women, foreign stu-
dents have a few more things to
adjust to than the rest of us.

By JANE HARRISON

Someone said, “It is better to sit
quietly and be thought a fool rather than
speak and remove all doubt." In regard
to the '67 and ’68 Kentuckian, some
members of the student body at UK
would do well to heed this advice.

According to the National Collegiate
Yearbook Association, The Kmtuckian
with its “A" rating is ranked in the top
five percent of yearbooks in the country.
Several years ago the previous advisor,
Mr. Perry Ashley, was awarded College
Advisor of the Year at the NCYA Con-
vention in Chicago, and present advisor,
Miss Linda Cassaway, was runner-up
for the advisor of the year last year.

The ’67 Kentuckian was praised highly
by the publishing world as demonstrated
by a letter of congratulations from their
publisher, and the fact that the publishers
printed several hundred extra copies for
their personal use as a model book.

My sympathy is with The Kentuckian
editor who mist defend to an uniformed,

narrow-minded student body what is a
pacesetting yearbook in the country. It
is already being imitated.

His defense would not even be nec-
essary if The Kernel had practiced the
quality of journalism it is demanding from
The Kentuckian.

As a former UK journalism major,
member of The Kernel staff, Kaituckian
’stafi, Theta Sigma Phi, and K Book Edi-
tor, as well as the present sponsor for
five years of an “A” rated high school
book, I have a deep interest and appre-
ciation for good journalism.

I am disappointed to notice that The
Kernel has nn'squoted and misrepresented
facts regarding The Kentuckian as well
as resorting to misleading and somewhat
sensationalized headlines. There was a
time when errors like that would not
have been tolerated on The Kernel staff,
and I do not believe they are intentional
now.
But by not quoting exactly,The Kernel
has led the student body into thinking

 

there would be virtually no coverage of
student life. The drastically limited think-
ing of some of the student body is re
vealed in the fact that they would even
consider that student life could be repre-
sented without including Creeks, sports,
organizations, etc.

Editor Torn Craler never said they
would be eliminated entirely. He said the
coverage would be altered. What he said
was that the coverage of all areas would
be based on action shots-a book de-
picting what groups are doing—not glit-
tering generalities about what they repre-
sent. Therefore, those who actively con-
tribute to campus life will berepresented.

The Kernel perennially fights the battle
of apathy on campus, yet its inaccurate
reporting is causing unnecessary repercus-
sions that would have as much influence
on the financial complexion of the year-
book as the University's reduced funds
for the book. -

It takes money to produce a yearbook.

The Kentuckian represents UK in high

schools across the country. At a time
When most universities are realizing the
value of the yearbook as a public rela-
tions medium— Morehead and Eastern
have yearbook budgets over twice that
of UK's-the University has drastically
cut The Kentuckian budget.

Because the University has so dras-
tically reduced available funds, the size
of the book will have to be adjusted
proportionally. This is the reason for the
change in size—not because the editor
personally wants to limit certain areas of '
coverage.

In fact, publishers have already been
consulted to determine how to get nuxi-
num coverage with the minirmm budget
imposed this year.

The Kentuckian is making every efiort
to be progressive and pace-setting, and
editor Tom Craler and the staff are qual-
ified to accomplish this.

So come on Kernel, student body, and
administrators—Keep up with them and
let’s keep the yearbook on top]

 

Letters to the Editor: the readers

To the Editor of The Kernel:

As a member of the advisory committee
of Focus 68, I would like to respond to
an article written by David Holwerk
concerning the program.

It would seem that this article missed
the entire point made by chairman Car-
son Porter at the Student Covemment
meeting. Mr. Porter revealed as much a-
bout the prOgram as possible, without
bringing unnecessary damage.

The procedure of withholding the
speaker's names from the press was sug-
gested by the University public relations
department and coordinators of Impact,
a similar program presented at Vander-
bilt.

This suggestion was approved by the
entire advisory committee. (It was not
devised by either the chairman or co-
chairman.)

Secondly, having observed in previous
experiences, the tentative schedules prorn—
inent speakers are forced to make. I
understand the advisibility of no publi-
city at this time. As it was explained at
the Student Covemment meeting, if it
is necessary for a speaker to cancel, it
will save him embarassment and not make
another selection feel like second choice.

Common sense would rmke these
points evident.

If through some misfortune the Focus
program does fail, ”the adverse com—
ments” if any, are necessary, should not

~ be limited to the committee’s chairman
but should include the entire advisory
committee.

I find it unfortunate, that Mr. Hol—
werk should see fit to attempt to attri-
bute political aspirations to persons work-
ing to bring a program of interest and
benefit to the University community. I
have seen no evidence of political ma-
neuvering in this program.

Section III of the Student Rights Code,
which concerns “The University as Super-
visor of Student Organizations," states:
"A student organization my not retain
registration or may be subject to some
lesser punishment is it is guilty of the
following: (1) Hazing . . .The control
over student organizations shall rest with
the Vice President for Student Affairs."

On Friday, October 6, 1967, eleven
Kappa Sigrm fraternity pledges were ar-
rested by Fayette County police while
hitchhiking and "clad only in trench
coats" (Kernel, Oct. 9).

The Interfraternity Council Judicial
Board (not a Rights Code enforcement
body) fined the fraternity 872 and placed
it on social probation.

'Why has the University never con-
ducted an investigation into this appar-
ent case of hazing by a University or-
ganization? Does Vice President John-
son, the de
