Strong support by the University's Student Congress administration for Congress withdrawal
from the U.S. National Student
Association was reported today.
The Kernel has learned that
legislation mapping the withdrawal from NSA has been prepared and will be introduced at
Thursday's Congress session. Student Congress President Winston
Miller and Vice President John
O'Brien have both said they back
the withdrawal.
If precedent is any guidepost,
the proposal's passage is nearly
guaranteed, for all administration-supported
bills previously

introduced this year have passed
the Congress' with little difficulty.
NSA is an association of student governments established in
1946 to provide an interchange
of ideas and information for and
between members. Among criticisms of NSA, and ones intensified recently by schools withdrawis
ing membership, are that it
overly political, liberal, and
UK has been an NSA
member for the past year.
The withdrawal resolution,
framed by SC Rep. Oscar Wester-field- ,
is based on three major
contentions. They are:

Westerfield contends that the
information service "has
been too slow for effective use
and too often of little value."
In an interview O'Brien echoed
agreement with the statement,
adding, "Congress pays too much
and gets too little."

O'Brien said Congress requested information three times from
NSA last semester and that each
time the information came too
late for any consideration.
However, Steve Beshear, freshman law student and president
of last year's Congress, under
whom the body joined NSA, said
his administration was very satisfied with the information supplied by NSA last year.

Parking Structures And Dormitories

"If you can build even a 600-o- r 700-cgarage for a million dollars, you're

Garages

Prime location for the first structure
is on the site of the present parking area
between the Student Center and Stoll
Field.
To go on with all four building,
Ruschell noted, Auxiliary Services would
need outside funds. He suggested a merger
with housing and dining or educational
bonding as a possibility.
Present income is from parking lees
(at ball games), parking permit fees, and
$77,718 was paid
traffic fines. In 1964-6in parking permit fees, $13,840 in parking
fees, and $3,008 in traffic fines, for a
total of $94,500. An income of $111,324
is projected for 1965, even though there
is no parking garage to contribute $10,000.
Roughly half of that income goes for
general supplies and
expenses-salari- es,
such.
As of Dec. 1, 3,853 parking permits had
A and B permits to faculty
been sold-3,2- 78
and staff, and 575 C permits to students.
A and B permits are 37 and 18 per cent
oversold respectively (more permits than
spaces). However, there are 699 available
spaces for the 575 C permits sold.

Director Ruschell explained that 121 of
those spaces are in Cooperstown, where
only 40 permits have been sold. Married
students are still permitted to park their
cars free in spaces in front of their
Cooperstown apartments.
(Larry Westbrook, University security
officer, said that the married student permits accounted for only eight of those
spaces. He described Cooperstown parking
areas as "less desirable" than those areas
closer to campus. "No one wants to park
out there except those who live there,"
he said.)
Overselling of spaces is not unusual,
according to Ruschell. "Some campuses
will sell three to one," he said. "What
it depends on is your circulation."
The Central Campus Development
Plan, calls for 10 parking structures providing 7,500 spaces and surface lots providing 4,500 spaces. No surface lots and
only four of the garages will be located
on the campus, which is proposed to
"reinforce the pedestrian concept,"
"You're not going to be able to drive
ai.ywhere on campus," Director Ruschell
said.

UK Coed Solves
A Sewing Problem
By CAROLYN WILLIAMS
Kernel Feature Editor
When the average engaged

young woman describes her wedding gown, she's apt to say it's
made of satin, pcau de soie,
linen or lace. ;
But there's; Tone UK coed
whose description oThcr wedding
dress. will be a little different
than those of her contemporaries.
She's senior clothing major, Fran
Napier, and her gown is undoubtedly rather unique. It's
made of curtains.
"It really wasn't meant to
be," says Miss Napier from
Viper, Ky. "In fact, my mother
suggested I change my choice of
material after about seven hours
of unsuccessful shopping trips to
about
six
stores, including
several in Cincinnati.
"But I was determined, although somewhat worried, and
luckily found the material. ..in a
curtain department of a store here
in Lexington."
The dress was made as a project for a special problems class
in the school of Home Economics.
"I was planning to make my
own wedding dress before I considered using it as a class project," she explained. Yet I was
concerned about asking for professional help. I didn't want to
seem a nuisance to the special
Mrs.
instructor,
problems
Mildred Botsford. However, it
worked out very well when I
decided I would use it in the
class last semester."
Miss Napier decided to make
her dress because she couldn't
find a design she liked. Each
bridal salon she visited either

had the wrong material and the
right design or the wrong design
and the right material.
"I guess the first time 1 discovered what type of design I
wanted in a wedding dress occurred in my interior decorations
class. The instructor,
Miss
Catherine Kidd, brought various
types of curtains to class to show
the students different fabrics and
how these could be used.
"I liked a design of a set made
in Switzerland. It was made into
a

tablecloth."

Yet
she soon discovered
finding the material in the first
yard goods department she
visited was simply out of the
question. It wasn't even available in the linen and tablecloth

department..

Miss Napier, who will be
married
in June to Lloyd
Caudill, senior pre med student
from Pekin, Ind., began work
on her dress with a muslin
draping. Mrs. Botsford checked
the fitting and construction. The
draping itself took about eight
to ten hours. She spent approximately 20 to 30 hours making
the dress.

"It did take longer than

I

expected, but perhaps this was
because I was working sporadically on it during school hours.
I had originally intended to make
it during the summer vacation,
but realized this was impossible
because of the material problem.
The dress did, indeed, prove
to be a "special problem." Since
there are floral designs of daisy
clusters in certain areas, she had

"The organization also gives
members information they'll need
later, as consumers, in selecting
and buying horticultural products," said Miss Burks. "NJHA
members also have a chance to
meet many other young people
with interests similar to their

interests."

Her NJHA career has been

was the back of the gown where
the design had to match on both
sides after thezipper was sewn in.
"There was also a problem
along the bottom of the dress. I
had to be very careful to make
certain the length was the same
on all panelsdue to the scallops."
Another difficulty she encountered, in addition to a fitting problem, was the sheerness
of the fabric. Construction lines
have a tendency to show through
Swiss cotton, she said.
But would she attempt such
a project again? "Of course not
a wedding dress, but if I have
an idea about a particular design
or material for a dress or a suit
and can't find it at a store, I
sure will.
"It's difficult today to find
unique and original designs for
the amount of money you can
afford to spend on clothes."
She figured her wedding gown
cost about $50, with the curtains being $20 a pair. Mrs. Botsford estimated her gown would
sell for about $300 or more if
she were to buy it ready-madMiss Napier did admit that
she's received her share of jokes
and comments about the project.
Most of the teasing comes from
her close friends, family and
fiance.
"My maid of honor.Charlotte
Westerman, reminded me that I
could aiways take the dress apart
if I need a pair of curtains."
she laughed.
Her fiance's first reaction was
disbelief.. .after he realized she
was serious. He then quipped
that the ushers will probably
come dressed in towels.

* The Outspoken Mr. Lynd
Traitor, hero, fool?
The most common reactions to
date have been charges of treason
and naive headline-huntinHarry
Truman had the first word, a terse
comment to the effect that the trip
was a foolish publicity stunt whose
only result would be to land Lynd
and company in the penitentiary.
Given Mr. Truman's ignorance of
the facts, it was probably one of
the more foolish public statements
he has made.
We have disagreed with Mr.
Lynd on previous occasions, as have
many others at Yale, both colleagues and students. But people
who know him know that he is
not a publicity seeker, that both
his conviction and his sincerity
run deep. If there is one thing that
can clearly be said, it is that this
was no fool's junket.
(1) Mr. Lynd is not a wide-eye- d
young idealist who doesn't
know the difference between socialists, Marxists, Trotskyites, European and American Communists,
Maoists, and Students for a Democratic Society. He has been active
on the American left for almost
20 years. He himself is not a communist, but a socialist (one of the
reasons he vas invited to make
the trip along with Herbert
who is a communist), and
a pacifist, a sophisticated thinker
and a prolific writer. His position
against the war in Vitenam is well
known and carefully thought out.
People may disagree with him, but
they cannot argue that he has not
thought the question through.

war regardless of cost.

The trip was planned months

sulted friends and colleagues here
at Yale months before the trip was
made. In other words, it should
not be seen as a hastily arranged
private peace mission in the wake
of recent U. S. escalation, but as a
deliberate attempt
to cut through bureaucratic red
tape both American and Vietnamese
which constitutes the
Bamboo Curtain, in order to (a)
show that communication is possible if it is truly desired, (b)
clarify, if possible, Hanoi's position,
and (c) dramatize opposition to
the injustice, inhumanity and illegality of the war his country is
prosecuting in Vietnam.

(3) His position on civil disobedience is well known. He feels that
an unjust law or penalty should
be challenged by the most potent
means available to an individual,
and is perfectly willing to pay the
legal penalty for an illegal act.

To Prevent More Of This Kind Of Tiling?"

to win the

In the U.S. it would provide
a public shock at a time when the
Administration threatens to escalate
the war into a major land confrontation between regular armies,
American, North Vietnamese, possibly Chinese. The secondary reaction in some circles would be a
hardening of the hard line, cries
of treason, and emotional eruptions
against Lynd in particular and
protestors of the war in general.
In other circles, particularly in the
universities, it would rekindle opposition to the war at the same
time that it raised several important questions which have been
obscured: Just how difficult is it
to communicate with the North
Vietnamese regime and eventually
to negotiate? By what rationale
does the U. S. government block
free travel of its citizens for political
reasons, especially after word came
only last week that travel restrictions on medical doctors were
being rescinded? Finally, what
happens in Vietnam, to the Vietnamese, after this war which has
never been declared is either won
or lost? Who rebuilds?

apparently came to Mr. Aptheker
last summer. Mr. Lynd had con-

Mr. Lynd's Reasons

:

One may disagree with Mr.
Lynd's radical views, but the trip
to Hanoi made a great deal of
sense from his point of view.
The one thing he had not
counted on, and the factor which
could make the trip more a hazard
than a help to peace, is its undercutting of the much publicized U. S.
peace offensive launched over the
New Year weekend.
The three unauthorized travelers, of course, had no knowledge
of the Administration's peace drive
before they left (Lynd reportedly
sought information about it over
the phone from a reporter in Moscow). If they in fact jeopardized
any good that might have come from
the peace missions, then the best
that may be said is that their
intentions were tragically mistimed.

Parenthentically, it might also
be said that the peace missions
themselves were tragically late,
tragically short. If in addition they
provide an excuse for serious escalation in the near future, then the
Administration may count on more
from the likes of Mr. Lynd.

see the band.
An exception to this rule of
patronizing the noble alums was
observed at the basketball game
with Vanderbilt. From all appearances the band and gymnastic program (which was very fine) were
directed
to the
miraculously
cramped student side of the
Blue-and-Whi- te

Coliseum. But then there weren't
any television cameras perched on
the "paid" side of the floor.
And truly the student 's lot in
the coliseum reminds us of a local
businessman's pitch "Sit on hard
chairs and save hard cash." Only
we understand that the student has
already paid his hard cash. We
wonder why tickets aren't sold
en masse on the Big People's side.
Then, they too, like the lowly student, could know the thrill and
excitement of battling for a seat,
already purchased, then waiting
three hours for the real athletic
action to begin.
Yes, it is clear that our benefactor, the Athletic Department, always puts the student welfare far
ahead of any cash concerns. But
maybe we are being unfair. After
all, football and basketball were
invented for alumni. Well, weren't
they?

In Brazilian Contest

have never been
praised for their organizational
talents but their lack of organizational ability played a part
in the major cultural setback in
Latin American during the past
year.
It took a normally quiet event
like the Rio International Violin
and Piano Competition to really
point up the problems. While
international music competitions
are usually very dignified affairs,
this one often approached the
farcical.
The event had been postponed
from the dryer month of August,
to November, when the humidity
and heat arc so great that violins
will not stay in tunc for an
entire performance. The event
stretched out three and a half
weeks instead of the planned two,

and a third of the judges had to
leave before the finals and left
the Brazilian president of the jury
with the power to cast the votes
for the missing judges.
Like buildings here which
stand unfinished because the
money ran out, the competitors'
air line tickets were bought on
the installment plan and apparently the directors failed to keep
up the payments. Lufthansa collected the return half of the round
trip tickets because they had not
received final payment, some performers did not receive them back
on time, delaying departure.
The French violinist Michel
Chaveton, a member of the jury,
got his back only after the French
Embassy threatened a diplomatic
incident.
The three finalists in the violin
competition were asked to give a
concert without pay to raise
money on the night before they
had to compete in the finals.
Then, because there had been no
y
publicity, they played to a
house.
In addition to the disorganization, bribery and intrigue
entered into the piano competition, according to reports from
the participants. They charged
that the Russians bought the
piano prize, and that the
Brazilians were forced to sell
because
of their
financial
straights. A French girl the
favorite played
acknowledged
but
brilliantly in the semi-finawas awarded fifth place. The
crowd protested so violently that
the judges had to slip out the
back door. The papers the next
morning gave the best c6verage

and

the highest praise to the

"fifth best performer.'
In the finals were

two
Russians and two Americans,
who, in Chaveton's opinion,
"could not give the Russians
the competition the French girl
would have. If she had performed
as brilliantly as she did in the
semi-finround they would have
been forced to give her the prize."
On the night of the finals, the
crowd seemed to agree. When the
French pianist entered the auditorium for the performance, the
crowd broke into cheers and tore
their programs into confetti.
After the judges had voted, the
Russians tied for first place.
Another gripe of the American
delegation was the lack of help

thought the U.S. Government
might have used Alliance for

Brazilians immune from bribery.
In fact, the U.S. Embassy
had little to do with the U.S.
