Nonviolence Seminar Explores
Approaches To Peaceful Society
By KAREN REED
Kernel Staff Writer
The Committee on Peace, Education and Research last night
held the second in a series of
nonviolence seminars on "Disengagement of Physical Scientists, Social Scientists and
Engineers from Works of Violence and Social Degredation."
The speakers included Dr.
Joseph Engelberg of the Physiology and Biophysics Department,
Dr. W. S. Krogdahl of the Physics Department, Dr. John Drys-dal- e
of the Sociology Department
and Dr. Henry F. Dobyns of the
Anthropology Department.
A central controversy of the
session was exemplified by the
viewpoints of Dr. Engelberg and
Dr. Krogdahl.

Dr. Engelberg said he believed

"war machines" make violence
inevitable and that nonviolecne
could be achieve through a
determination to stop creating

"war machines."

Dr. Krogdahl, by contrast,
said he felt that the only hope
of mankind to live in peace is
to stay in readiness for war.
Dr. Krogdahl, speaking to the
topic of the evening, said that
"to disengage from works of violence, it is necessary for scientists
and engineers to offer their services to the free world in order
for it" to keep up technologically
with others and (thus) prevent
war.
He

said

"clearly superior

power" is the only sure way for
the United States to guard against
a conquest
by Communist
nations.
Dr. Henry Dobyns said he
perceived no disengagement of
economists from works of violence. Of sociologists, he said,
"They have never been engaged
enough to disengage signifi-

cantly."
Dr. Dobyns, an anthropologist, said the recent history of
anthropology much resembled

that of sociology.

Sociologist John Drysdale,
chairman of the sponsoring committee, initiated the discussion by
speaking of different conceptions
of violence.

of University departments, the course attracted
more than a hundred students last semester after
it was initiated at the urging of the Black Student
Union.
"Once we determined we wanted to do it,"
Dean Drennon says of the Afro course, " the professors performed miracles' to draw up the proposal, and it went through quite easily. It was
literally done in days."
The proposal to which he refers is the first
of only three requirements for getting a course
added to the A 6rS curriculum.
Profs Must Help
Whether the original idea comes from a student, student group, faculty member or administrator, it must first win the support of one or
more professors who can be convinced to teach
the course and draw up a course proposal outlining the material to be taught.
This proposal is then sent to the Honors
Committee, which is responsible for A&S course
changes and the Honors Program Curriculum.
Dr. Ellis Brown, chemistry professor and chairman of the Honors Committee, together withother
committee members, then considers the proposal.
If they believe It is of value to the curriculum,
It is approved.
The A &S curriculum has a number of slots
for new courses, so that when a course is proposed
on short notice, it can be readily assigned a course
number and be offered to students.

Maine Chance Cane Continues

Bank Official Stresses Imporlance Of Written Bid s
By The Associated Tress
The importance of putting everything into writing in real estate

The bank is one of three defendants in the suit filed by Dr.

Pre-La- w
Rarely are students treated to
such blatant establishment-oriente- d
propaganda as they were
exposed to through Saturday's prelaw day speaker. James R. Jones,
appointments secretary to former
President Lyndon Johnson, got
started on the right foot, at least,
by saying that peace is our most
urgent need.
But then he said that in order
to obtain peace, it is necessary
to "trust in the president" and
his aides because they "have the
necessary facts on which to base
their decisions."
Thank you, but no, Mr. Jones.
There are many of us who are not
willing to abdicate our critical and
role in favor

right thing. The caliber of men
who have been serving recently as

president makes one shudder at the
very idea. Can one imagine what
progress would have been made
toward a peaceful settlement in
Vietnam if LBJ had been left to
his own inclinations?
Jones went on to say that the
"bad image" created at Berkeley
by student disorders is countered
by the fact that the campus has
more Vista volunteers than any
other school. But what you apparently fail to take into account,
sir, is that in all likelihood a large
proportion of the Vista workers
also are among the "bad" people
who want to change the structure
of higher education as well as
society at large.

Kernel Soapbox: Sending A Friend Off To War
By BRUCE PEYTON
A 6r S

Junior

There are those of us among America's
millions of sons who live protected from
the omnipotent grasp of the draft temporarily at least by the scholarly walls
of one university or another. Our sanctuary plunges us into a busy, intense
routine, a social, intellectual processing
that sends us to the library full of assignments and home with an armful of books
in which are recorded the biological,
historical, sociological,
philosophical,
psychological, and, forme, theatrical wisdoms of the ages. Other activities, the
most important of mine being the theater,
add mortar to the academic bricks that
guard against the terrors of making war,
even the contemplation of them.
We are not all alike. Some of us
throughout our college careers are constantly studying the big issues, pronouncing keenly intelligent judgments. Conclusions lead to objections and objections
lead to protest. Protest constitutes involvement.
I am not one of these. The theater keeps
me busy night and day. I love it. And my
love and my ambition draw me deeper and
deeper into it. A career will someday
afford me a direct, efficient, powerful,
and, I hope, artistic means of
now narrows my mental and
physical scope to immediate pursuits.
These do not include deep and constant
deliberations over world issues so gigantic that they dwarf even the men who
decide them.
Oh, I get the news when I can. I read
magazine articles and newspaper reports.
Then I rush off to a rehearsal or a shop
session where forgetting what I have read
is as quick and as easy as the work is
rigorous and demanding.
Nevertheless, I never could forget a
face. Words read are often stored away
for contemplation in some far off, more
leisurely time. Names slip my mind as
quickly as they are uttered. Faces are
always with me.
At work I see old faces in new ones
and memories fuse with new experiences.
In conversations I watch faces twisting
and straightening to express so much more
than words, well or not so well spoken.
At night I wearily follow an endless
procession of faces into sleep.
Last December about 5:00 a.m., the
morning after my last final, another face
burned its image so deeply into memory
that it is always with me. It was the
particular face of a particular person in
a particular place at a particular time.

The face was that of a close friend. He
was confused. He was afraid. He was
comy. He was lonely. He was completely
alone. For God and St. George and LBJ
and Uncle Sam and those other strange
and powerful and worshipped and challenging and unchallen gable beings he was
going off to war, to Southeast Asia, to
Vietnam.
Three months of summer stock and a
semester of third-yea- r
college work
separated me from my sophomore year.
That year, last year, was my first out
of the, dormitory. Bob and Chris and I
lived together in the 400 square feet of
a house trailer. It was confined, hectic,
kind of ridiculous, and
a lot of fun. Chris and I were students.
Bob worked at IBM and went to night
school, planning the next semester (this

year) to return to
Each of us was different Chris shy
and socially clumsy, but intelligent and
stuunbelievably dedicated to hispre-me- d
dies, Bob even shyer, sometimes almost
completely introverted, nervous, a
lover of science fiction, a bashful yet quite accomplished Romeo to certain girls back home, an independent, a
loner, a finicky eater and a close friend
to me, his sometimes bumbling, sometimes
boisterous, often selfish, presumptuous,
ambitious, jocular, morose,
lonely and happy and
doubting and skeptical and
a confidant.
Those days were over. Now it was December of 1968. Sitting alone in my apartment, my last final over, I heard the door
slam below as Chris and Bob's clomping
footsteps climbed the cold, dirty stairs.
Bob, home from Basic Training in the
last week or so of his Thirty Day Leave
before departure for the Orient, had picked
Chris up at his dorm, and they had come
over for a little reunion.
A few days earlier Bob had driven to
Lexington from Lancaster, but finding
us the
victims of final
week, he had given us Christmas presents and a short break from studies,
then thoughtfully gone back home until
the end of the week.
There was now a definite separation
with Chris and me on the one hand and
Bob reluctantly on the other, a gap
between us bridged by talk of good, old
times together, but widened by talk of
present and future. The latter was
generally avoided.
Later Chris went home. Jo Ann came
over and the three of us went to a movie,
then to a party, then back to my apart

exhausted. Jo Ann and I were now together, on the one hand relieved for a
time from studies, Bob on the other

talk and make minutes last as long as
possible. Our conversation wandered merrily through the memories again, then
found its way inevitably to the issue at
hand, the gap, the battle cry that soon
would deafen, along with time and distance, Bob's ears to such amiable and
peaceful conversations.
So we talked about the war. Jo Ann,
whose father had been a career man in
the Army, condemned it with the feminine
objectivity her country had granted her,
and I agreed from within the subjective
male sphere of personal responsibility
which our
country had granted Bob
and me. And Bob agre
