Long lines are common these days in the Complex cafeteria. In fact they
somctimcs reach the courtyard outside the cafeteria. Too many students
living in the Complex is the reason given for the problem. (Story page 3).

Dr. Thomas Blues, one of

the pass-fai- l

Dr. Herbert Drennon, dean

but even if it was approved this
fall he did not think it would
be effective until this spring.
"It is possible, Ijowever, that
an exception could be made for

Dr. Blues, too, is hopeful that
an exception will be made for

Lazy moods can be satisfied

Various restaurants lining the

For racing fans, Hi ver Downs

At Complex Cafeteria
Line-Standin-

g

The abnormally long lines at
the Complex Cafeteria are due
to the crowded conditions in the
dormitories, according to Lawrence Jeffreys, director of Food
Services.
It has not been uncommon
lately for the lines to extend
well into the courtyard during
the evening meal. While Mr. Jeffreys claims that increased personnel efficiency should speed
the lines somewhat, he added that
the problem could never be completely alleviated since the Complex currently houses "about 300
more students" than it was designed to handle.
Blazer and Donovan Cafeterias are evidently not having
this problem at the present time.
Although the lines have been
moderately long after the 6:15
p.m. closing time, he said that
lengthening the serving time
would not help. "We will never

close while

there are students

waiting in line."

The closing time last year
the cafeteria was 6:30 p.m.
Mr. Jeffreys said that "just a
trickle" of people came through
the lines after 6:15 last year and
that the money gained by shortening the hours would be spent
to improve the food.
When asked about instances
when the cafeteria has run out
of vegetables and other foods as
early as twenty minutes before
closing time, Mr. Jeffreys said
tliat this should not occur after
a few weeks, when a regular
pattern has been established. The
line supervisors will then be able
to predict more accurately how
many people will come through
the lines at any given time and
be better prepared for them.
Mr. Jeffreys closed by saying
that in all instances "the customer comes first."

* No Student Voice
In its discussions of what policy
to adopt towards shakers on this
campus, the Faculty Senate might
do well to consider that one very
important voice is being ignored
in its own deliberations.
The student body, which is,
after all, the main beneficiary of
campus speakers, has had no say
in the plans which are being considered. A National Student Asso

ciation endorsed proposal was put
before the Senate Monday, but
the group defeated that plan. But
even this proposal did not officially
have student support here.
What the Faculty senate risks
by ignoring the wishes of the student body is the squashing of student expression here for the sake
of free expression by visiting speakers. The contradiction should be
obvious to our illustrious faculty.

Unhappy George
It appears that Albert B. Chandler will not be the running mate
of George C. Wallace on the American Independent Party ticket after
all. A Wallace aide suggests the reason: the prospective alliance "came
unstuck" over the civil rights issue.
If this is correct, it is certainly to Mr. Chandler's credit. At no
time in his long political career, including terms as Governor of Kentucky and U.S. Senator, did he ever deviate from a policy of decent
moderation on Negro rights. It would be sad to see him now, at the
age of 70, compromise that good record.
It seems reasonable at this point to ask whether Mr. Chandler
can in good conscience support the Wallace ticket, in view of what
he has learned at first hand of its deeply racist nature.
Mr. Wallace is a man who has used every ounce of his influence
to prevent integration of the schools in his own state. Mr. Chandler,
by contrast, sent the National Guard into Clay and Sturgis at the
time when school integration was hotly resisted there. His instructions were: "Don't let anyone keep anybody from going to school
who wants to."
Mr. Chandler is a man who has taken just pride in bringing Negro
athletes, including Jackie Robinson,' into full participation in major
league baseball. Former Governor Wallace, by contrast, is a man who
said after a political defeat in 1958: "John Patterson outniggered me.
And boys, I'm not going to be outniggered again."
Mr. Wallace has been careful not to use such overt language on race
in his present campaign for the presidency. He does not need to. The
Ku Kluxers who make up an important part of his following already
know him as their kind of man. He can gamble for the votes of less
violent segregationists all over the country without fear of losing his
base of support in the Deep South.
Not many people have doubted the true nature of the Wallace
campaign. Mr. Chandler has had a chance to see it face to face.
There is still time for him to withdraw his support of a candidate
he cannot rim with.

The distinguished professor is seldom

society, however, in this case, he is irrefutably so.
The war in Southeast Asia is not the

of a larger issue, but one symptom of
a much more serious disease many times
more critical than the current localized
outbreak would indicate.
It is imperative that this nation look
beyond Vietnam to the larger issue, the
larger problem: this nation's dedication

Scholars Emphasize Detached Intellectualism

By nonERT JOHNSTON
NEW HHUNSWICK, N. J.
(CPS) Young radicals last week
besieged the convention of the
American Political Science Association in Washington, D. C.
with a series of demands aimed,
they said, at nuking political
science relevant to contemporary
tx)litical and social issues. Rut
at the same time, speakers at the
fourth annual Socialist Scliolars
Conference, at Rutgers University, emphasized the need for
more detached intellectual work
to build a broader, more solid
base for social improvement.
Some of tlie SSC speakers and
issues raised:

from
Lasch,
Christopher
Northwestern University, decried
America's lack of a revolutionary
tradition and called for the emergence of a revolutionary culture
tied to political and economic
action "revolution mast be born
from the deepest feelings of the
people,.but Americans have never
had to look deeply into themselves:"
Warren Sasman, from Rutgers, said intellectuals betray
their most appropriate function
when they place personal involvement, no matter how important
the cause, ahead of the life of
the mind "to analyze social ills,
to know the world and to draw
conclusions from it, and to translate social needs into new social
e
arrangements, is a
job;
and it can't be accomplished
with half-tim- e
on the picket line;"
Ernest Mandel, editor of the
Belgian weekly La Cauche and
participant in the French student-worker
demonstrations of
last spring, declared that the
French experience clearly proved
that "a socialist revolution is
possible in an advanced, indusfull-tim-

trial country" "the students
alone decided neither the course
nor the outcome of the demonstrations; it was decided the first
day of the general strike by workers who made a united commitment to running their own lives;"

Eugene Genovese, from Sir
George William University, in
a paper on Harold Cruse's The
Crisis of the Negro Intellectual
argued that Cruse understates
and underestimates the strength
and depth of American racism
toward blacks and misjudges the

xtrntial relevance toward the
of a black

problem

nationalist response "Cruse is
silent on the opjjortunism and
treachery that have pervaded
every nationalist movement in
history;"
'Academic Racism'
Sterling Stuckcy of Northwestern University, also commenting on Cruse's book, laid
the blame for the present "crisis
of racism" at the door of the

"academic

establishment,"

which, "unmindful of black history," has precipitated an
amalgam of "chaos, confusion,
ignorance, arrogance and blood-

shed;"
James Weinstein, author of
The Decline of Socialism in Amerscored socialist
ica, 1912-1925,

intellectuals "historical inability to conceptualize a model of
socialism" the
