MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. —The Nation—
al Student Association’s conference on
student power began with a dismption
and ended with mixed reactions from the
delegates. .

During the conference which met on
the University of Minnesota campus last
weekend, delegates argued about such
concepts as legal rights of students, so-
cial freedom, autonomy of student gov-
erments, extraordinary tactics such as
strikes, boycotts and sit-ins, and educa-
tional reform.

Friday night NSA President Ed
Schwartz struck a moderate tone in his
keynote speech.

”Student power is an attempt to open

up communication between the students
of the university," he said. ”Students,
faculty, and administration should par-
ticipate in decisions affecting the entire
university. ' '

Schwartz called for a resolution of'

the conflict between “rhetoric and real-
ity" in university administration. The
student power movement is "a move-
ment to impove our own position with-
in the university and to improve the ed-
ucational climate of the university it-
self," he said.

The NSA president told delegates that
most college administrators and faculty
"fear" student power because they think
students want to destroy the university,
that student power means "anarchy."

In an interview after his speech,
Schwartz emphasized that student power

tactics should be non-violent. "I have yet
to see a situation in which violent tactics
are necessary," he said.

”But tactics will vary from campus
to campus," he added, “and demonstra-
tions are not the only means to achieve
goals."

He noted also a contradiction between
what the university says in its classroom
and what it actually does. “On many
campuses, students hear their adminis—
trators say that the channels will yield
change,” he said, ”yet they learn that
only working outside the channels yields
change."

Immediately following Schwartz’s
speech, a group of University of Min-
nesota students burst into the room and
began to debate with delegates on the
next item of the agenda. A role-playing

NSA Conference: ‘Disrupting, Disorganized’

skit was planned, but the disruptors—
led by Arthur Himmelman, local prelate
of the WEB. Dubois Club—insisted on
changing the conference schedule to
“bring an issue before the delegates and
start people thinking. "

Saturday morning, Robert Van Waes,
associate secretary of theAmerican Asso—
ciation of University Professors, said the
conference was an assertion by students
of their part in the administration of an
ever-changing campus.

He listed the impersonality of cam-
puses, the irrelevance of curriculum, poor
teaching methods, outdated social rules,
neglect of student rights, and a lack of
a significant role for students in the ad-
ministration of colleges as the problems
facing the delegates.

SNCC IN TRANSITION; Mo VING
FR 0M PA CIFISM T0 VIOLENCE

By DON MCKEE
Associated Press Writer

ATLANTA, Ga. —- Guerrilla
war and black rebellion have
become new themes for the
young Negro leaders of an or-
ganization once known for its
nonviolent sit-ins and Freedom
Rides for civil rights.

"We have no alternative but
to use aggressive armed vio-
lence," says one of the lead-
ers, Stokely Carmichael. During
an August trip to Cuba, he pro-
posed urban guerrilla war by
Negroes in the United States.

Carmichael, 26, belongs to
the Student Nonviolent Coor-
dinating Committee - SNCC ~
known as Snick, a small band
of self-styled revolutionaries
who are no longer students, nor
nonviolent.

During a year as SNCC
chairman, Carmichael vocalized
Black Power, the mystique of
the new militants, and led the
organization to unpopular and
extremist positions, creating all-
Negro political parties, oppos-
ing the military draft, the Viet-
nam war and calling for Ne-
groes to take up arms.

day afternoon. Autograph sedrors vie for Lyons

His successor as SNCC chair-
man, H. Rap Brown, has fol-
lowed suit.

Carmichael relinquished the
SNCC chairmanship last May,
saying he would return to the
field to organize. The field has
taken him far. He has embraced
Cuba's Castro, denounced U.S.
capitalism and “imperialism,"
and paid his respects to Corn-
munist North Vietnam after
yelling his antidraft slogan
across America— “Hell, no; I
ain’t gain.”

He hopped from England to
Cuba, to Vietnam and Algiers.
Other SNCC men traveled
abroad also. They included
George Washington Ware who
went to Cuba and WCC’S for-
mer program director, Cleveland
L. Sellers, who attended a Com-
munist-dominated ban-the-bamb
convention in Tokyo.

Criminal charges growing out
of riots or violence were filed
against Brown or Carmichael
last summer in four cities. Ne-
gro students rioted in Nashville,
Tenn., after a Carmichael

speech, and fires erupted after
a speech by Brown in Carn-
bridge, Md.

 

Lyons' 88-yard dash from scrimmage.

Their angry speeches have
stirred demands in Congress
and elsewhere for prosecution
-on charges of sedition or trea-
son, or something. One proposal
would revoke the citizenship of
the Trinidad-bom Carmichael.

But despite all the angry
SNCC talk, there has been no
sign of an actual program of
guerrilla war or armed rebel-
lion. In fact it has very little
discernible program.

SNCC has a very small mem-
bership, estimated at no more
than 100 by informed sources.
A year ago, it was about 230.
It has some campus affiliates.
Cannichael's summer tour of
Negro campuses heightened in-
terest, if not support, and
brought a warning by one col-
lege administrator that Black
Power had permeated the cam-
puses.

"They're really in terrible
financial trouble,” a source said.
That is not unusual now. But in
its heyday, SNCC had strong
financial and moral support
from many sources, especially
college campuses.

The University budget request

Draft Could Become

Major Campaign Issue

By WALTER GRANT

WASHINGTON (CPS) —Al-
though Congress has extended
the draft for four more years,
the Selective Service System still
may become a campaign issue
in next year’s presidential elec-
tion.

It is highly doubtful that
either the Democratic or Be-
publican candidate will pledge
to abolish the draft at this time.
But it appears likely that one or
both parties will propose a num-
ber of reforms in the military
system which, among other
things, may be aimed at re-
ducing draft calls to zero.

Such reforms would be de—
signed to encourage more young
people to volunteer for the Army
by making military service ap-
pear more attractive. The most
important reform would be to
raise the military pay scale so
that it begins at the minimum
wage level of civilian rates.

Chances that increased pay
for soldiers will be a campaign
issue were boosted last week
when a Gallup poll showed that
eight out of ten persons favor

such a plan. When an issue has
such widespread voter appeal,

Chaotic Gold Trading Hits

Markets In London, Paris

AP. UPI Dispatches
Britain's devaluation of the pound has led to a buying rush
for gold on most of the world's major markets and speculation
that it would result in a gold price increase and dollar devalua-

tion.

London gold dealers reported
buying orders in ”near panic"
proportions pouring in from
throughout the world Friday.

One world finance expert es-
timated $415 million in gold was
traded on European markets from
Wednesday through Friday. The
official figures are not made pub-
lic, but it is believed that well
over 100 tons of gold — worth $11.2
million—changed hands in Lon-
don Friday.

Demand Reaches Peak

The price of gold—$35 an
ounce -— remained steady last
week despite the demand, which
reached its peak Friday, when:

D Paris reported sales 10 times
above normal.

} In Johannesburg, stock-ex-
change dealers jostled each other
in their efforts to buy gold min-
ing stocks. The scene was de-
scribed as ”near pandemonium."
South Africa, one of the leading
producers of gold, would profit
heavily if the price of gold should
nse.

)The Swiss National Bank ad-
vised leading banks to temporar-
ily halt forward sales of gold—
for delivery in 30, 60 or 90 days—-
in a move to protect its supply
of dollars.

The outburst of gold-buying
was ignited by speculation that
the demand could not be met
and the price would go up. If
so, holders d gold would profit

and holders of U.S.dollars would
sufier.
Treasury Department Unmoved

But in Washington, the Trea-
sury Department has stood un-
moved behind President John-
son's pledge last Saturday to
maintain the value of the US.
dollar in terms of gold.

Sunday heads of banks from
seven countries pledged full sup-
port to the United States in its
commitment to defend the dollar
rate against heavy buying of gold.
Governors of thecentral banks of
Belgium, Britain, West Germany,
Italy, the Netherlands, Switzer-'
land and the United States were
at the meeting in Frankfurt, Ger-
many.

They said afterwards that the
volume of gold and foreign ex-
change reserves at their disposal
guarantee that the gold exchange
rate would remain at $35 an
ounce.

Johnson Reaffirms Price
Committment

Last week, after Britain's de-
valuation of the pound sterling,
President Johnson said, ”I reaf-
firm unequivocally the commit-
ment of the United States to buy
and sell gold at the existing
price of $35 per ounce."

The administration, other—
wise, maintained official silence
on the heavy gold buying in Eur-
opean bullion markets. Privately,
oflcials said they regarded the
buying wave as a nuisance be

NSA Conference ‘Disrupting’

antinued From Page 1

Van Waes urged the confer-
ence and NSA to strive for im-
mediate wider adoption of the
Joint Statement on Student
Rights, especially among admin-
ist ration organizations. The state-
ment has been approved by NSA
and the AAUP but still awaits
approval from the American As-
sociation of Colleges, the N ation-
al Association of Student Person-
nel Administrators, and the Na-
tional Association of Women’s
Deans and Counselors. .

NSA must also, Van Waes
said, attempt special 'studies on
student problems, organize re-
gional conferences, organize in-
dividual campus actions, and col—
laborate with people in the aca-
demic world. “We will create a
genuine community, a vehicle
for the reconstruction of American
society," he concluded.

After the speech a student
panel reacted negatively to what
Van Waes had said. They ac-
cused him of ”talking down to
us." Mike Rossman, a lader
of the Free Speech Movement
at Berkeley in 1964, said Van

Waes hadn't told the delegates

what their real problems were
and added that NSA does not
guide the student power move-
ment.

Rossman proposed that stu-
dents seek out faculty and get
them on “our side. Go into any
building on a campus and the
faculty are sitting in their offices
with the doors open or shut and
just waiting for students to come
to talk to them. And we should;
we must, if the movement is to
succeed.”

An unexpected speech Satur-
day afternoon by a University
of Alabama law professor proved
to be one of the highlights of the
conference. Asst. Prof. Roy Lucas
told the conference that students
could gain power through the
courts.

”One of the most effective
ways to get student rights is
through the threat of law suit,”
he said. ”Student rights are pro-
tected by the constitution and
.the courts. '

Women s dorm hours may be
a violation of the 14th Amend-
ment and the 1964 Civil Rights
Act, both of which guarantee
equal protection under the law,
he said. And disciplinary coun-
seling offices which punish stu-
dents after they have been prose-
cuted by civil authorities may
be violating the legal rule against
double jeopardy — being punished

twice for the same crime—ac-
cording to Lucas.

Saturday afternoon, delegates
split into six small workshops
to discuss theoretical andtactical
problems. The press was barred
from these workshops. Sunday
morning groups met to plan na-
tionally coordinated action
toward student power and in
the afternoon, a closing plenary
turned into a talkathon, as stu-
dents rose to air their complaints
about the conference.

Beverly Twitchell, from Mich-
igan State University, said the
conference generated enthusiasm
for her kind of student power,
that is, seeing the student as a
human being.

Mary Quinn, from Mount Mer-
cy College, Pittsburgh, criticized
the conference for not deciding
the basic issue—“whether to
work in the system or outside of
it."

Paul Soglin of the University
of Wisconsin, 3 member ofNSA‘s
Natio'nal Supervisory Board, said
the conference concentrated too
heavily on non—academic prob—
lems. ”We are talking about the
wrong things," he said. “We
should talk about things that af-
fect 11s as students, that affect
our learning."

Another delegate from Mich-
igan State saw the conference as
a kick-off point.

Draft Could Become
MajorCampaign Issue

Continued From Page 1

presidential candidates are not
likely to ignore it.

The proposal also is becom-
ing more popular in Congress.
Twenty-two Republican House
members recently issued a joint
statement advocating certain
military reforms, including an
increase pay scale, as a way of
reducing draft calls and putitng
the armed forces on a volun-
teer basis.

First Step In Action

The House already has taken
the initial step by passing a 5 6
percent increase in basic pay for
the nation's 3. 5 million military
servicemen. The bill, which
would cost about $633 million
in the first year, is expected to
receive positive action in the
Senate.

The big question is whether
more young people will volun-
teer for the military if Congress
and the Pentagon increase the
benefits for military personnel.
Most observers agree that mili-
tary reforms will result in an in-
creased number of volunteers,
but there is disagreement over
whether there would be enough
new volunteers to end draft
calls.

At least five Congressmen
think an all-volunteer army is
indeed possible if the right im-
provements are made. Their
ideas appear in a book entitled,
“How to End The Draft, " which
was published this month.

cific recommendations in what
they say is “fhe first effort to
define systematically a specific
program of action which can
lead to an all-volunteer service
and the elimination of draft
calls.” They believe that if their
recommendations are followed,
an all-volunteer service is pos-
sible within two to five years.
The estimated total maximum
cost is $3.96 billion a year.

Authors of the book are Re-
publicans Robert T. Stafford,
Frank J. Horton, Richard S.
Schweiker, Garner E. Shriver
and Charles W. Whalen Jr.
They emphasize they are not
advocating that the Selective
Service System be abolished, but
are merely recommending re-
forms which “individually and
collectively can work to reduce
the size of draft calls, hopefully
down to zero," even under pres-
ent circumstances.

But, says Douglas F. Bailey.
research director for the five
Congressmen, “if escalation of
the war continued, resulting in
the need for more servicemen,
there would still have to be
some draft. I don't think We
could get that many to volun-
teer. But I think this plan will
be effective in ending the draft
under the present situation and
particularly under real peace-
time circumstances.”

‘In‘other questions asked of
the randomly-drawn sample, it

When asked how much would
they pay for mail delivery of The

Sex Takes 2nd Place To Drugs

NEWARD, NJ. (CPD—The
use of drugs has become so prom-
inent among college students that
it has relegated sex to second
place, according to a survey on
drug addiction made by the Es-
sex County Council.

Students express a certain
boredom with sex, Dr. Sylvia
Hen, a psychologist-sociologist
of South Orange and Chairman
of the council said Sunday, ”since
sex is easily attainable,available,
taken for granted, and has lost
its yesteryear spirit."

Dr. Hen disclosed the find-
ings of six months of research
in which 150 students of both
sexes were interviewed in three
colleges in New Jersey and New
York. She would not identify the
colleges.

More than 25 percent of the
students interviewed bythecoun-
cil have used drugs, Dr. Herz
said.

The council is the antipov-
erty agency administering Essex
County's new federally funded
program to combat drug addic-
tion.

Coeds go-go for the Bass Weejun

.—.~

“The use of drugs has be
come so prominent. that it has
relegated sex to second place,
partly because drugs are sex in-
hibiting," the doctor said.

The use of drugs and sex
appear to go hand-in-hand, how-
ever, according to Dr. Herz. ”Of
those tested, in all cases where
a student had experimented with
drugs, he, self admittedly, had
also participated in the sexual
act at some time."

Of the students tested, 42 per-
cent said they had sexual rela-
tions ”often,” 19 percent ”very
often," 31 percent ”afew times,"
and 8 percent ”never."

Eight percent of the students
tested, Dr. Herz said, had ex-
perimented with LSD at one
time or another.

Although more than one-quar-
ter of those tested used mari-
juana and amphetamines, which
are stimulants, at different times,
Dr. Herz said, it was felt by
those interviewed about 50 per-
cent of the student body used
marijuana and about 70 percent
utilized amphetamines.

In general, Dr. Herz said,
marijuana is used rminly in
groups for “group relaxation, get-

from tension, as the students put

Dr. Herz attributed the pop-

to ”excitement, curiosity, for-

abounding permissiveness. " Stu-

pill-oriented.

Ashland prays

to Lexington

for a building

With Thanksgiving just over and all, we feel it is appropriate to
run this little prayer we received in the mail last week. It was written,
we imagine by a shy student. At any rate, he refers to himself as

“Sea Gull.”
Dear Sir
Which art UK
Costly be thy name.
Mainechance comes,
Thy Will be done

In Lexington—now how about Ashland?

Give us more bread,

Avondale’s sleeping in the mire.

Forgive us our complaints

As we forgive those complaints against us.

Lead us not into Morehead,
And deliver us from Centre,

For thine is the money, the building, and the power 'of per-

u

suasion.
Amen.

This prayer was brought to you by the ACC Students for Freedom
from the Bayless Annex (and any other kind of annex which stands
in the way of a new building) committee and discussion group.

Letters to the Editor: the readers write

To the Editor of The Kernel:

As an interested but uninvolved faculty
member, I am fascinated by the recent
review by Mr. D. C. Moore of the Opera
Theater production of Mozart's Cosi Fan
Tutte. Inasmuch as I have been free to
express my almost unlimited support for
the expression of student opinion in all
areas, there is some reason for me to
question this particular review.

Does Mr. Moore, for instance, realize
that the English translation which causes
him so much concern is the one in current
use at the Metropolitan Opera House in
New York City and at Covent Garden in
London?

And that the Martin's (whose trans-
lation it is) are the foremost translators-
into—English (opera-wise) who are current-
ly performing such services for the Eng-
lish-speaking stage? Is, in fact, Mr. Moore
so well-versed in italian that he can quali-
fy as a judge of translation?

fwonder, too, whether he would be
willing to define a “weak melody"—he
characterizes some of Mozart's in those
terms. This sort of value judgement pre-
sents quite a defense problem, as count-
less commentators have discovered to their
embarrassment.

He seems to suggest that the opera is
a museum piece. in‘a certain sense, of
course, all art which pre—dates 1967 might
be so classified, along with, for instance,
Dickens and Hemingway in literature,
Shakespeare and Moliere in drama, and
Rembrandt in the visual arts, among
countless others. Do we, then, dismiss
our heritage so glibly?

The most critical point, however, is

the question of Mr. Moore'squalifications
to judge at all.

Would he, perchance, be as willing to
publish his qualifications as he was to
publish his immaturely vitriolic criticism?

Associate Professor of Music

To the Editor of The Kernel:

Well, well! ‘I'see we have a budding
young music critic amongst us. Mr. D.C.
Moore didn't seem to like the opera
Cosi Fan Tutte put on by the‘UK opera
theater. He said the production was“per-
formed like tired blood."

Mr. Moore, if you'd paid more at-
tention to the musical aspects of the
opera rather than the acting (fbelieve
music is paramount in opera), you would
find that there is quite a bit of action in
the text.

Oh yes! The perfomiers had stage
fright. Do you know the definition of
stage fright, Mr. Moore? Although used
in a derrogative form, stage fright simply
means ”nervousness felt at appearing be-
fore an audience." .

Obviously a perfomier is a bit nervous
during a performance, but none was evi-
dent with any of the perfomiers on stag' -
especially in your apparent meaning 0
the word.

‘l’see also that our esteemed music
critic (and fuse the term loosely) didn't
like the way the English text was written.
Did you ever see a translation of an
opera, Mr. Moore (or ever been to one
other than this one)?

The English text generally corresponds

what has too many words got to do with

There were not too many words and
the entrances and exits were not mshedl
f'd like to know what this ”whole effect"
rubbish is you're talking about. You said
nothing about the whole effect, so why
did\y0u even mention it?

A museum piece, indeed. The plot
still applies today. When you say it's
a museum piece, and then have the
audacity to say the melodies are weak,
you're criticizing Mozart himself.

Mr. Moore, since .you don't know
beans about music in the first place, 1‘

 

suggest that you not criticize the work
of this great composer. You talked about
a "do it yourself kit" type opera. ‘I’don't
know what you mean by this, so rather
than talk about things I don't know about
or understand, as you did constantly,
f'll keep my mouth shut.

”Needless to say, the only outstand-
ingthing about the perfomiance was Don
Alfonso (Luther Stripling)." This is pure
garbage! Granted, Mr. Stripling wasquite
outstanding in his role, but really, don't
the other singers deserve credit? a

For example, I suppose Miss House
was singing with tired blood. Didn't
you notice the intensity, fine tone, 1m-
believahle range and volume, and ter—
rific control. These were evident in all
the perf
