Northeast Hit By Blackout
(from Combined

Dispatches)

YORK Twenty to
NEW
thirty million Americans in the
Northeast have electrical power
again today after a crippling
blackout which hit the great
metropolitan area at the height
of the late afternoon rush hour
yesterday.
Power clicked off about 5:30
p.m. and was not restored fully
until some 10 hours later, about
3:30 a.m. today.
Thousands were caught unaware of what was happening as
elevators stopped between floors,
subways slid to a halt in the
tunnels of New York and Boston,
movie screens flickered and then
went black, and lights necessary
to arriving and departing aircraft
went out.
A Federal Power Commission
spokesman said that the cause of
the massive blackout may never
be known. Sabotage is considered
"unlikely," but the possibility
has not been ruled out completely.
President Johnson ordered all
federal agencies ready to help the
area if it would become necessary.
He has ordered the FPC to investigate the failure fully.
Only last year, an FPC report
on the complex facilities, linking
the nation's major communications center to the rest of the
U.S. and the world, stated that
it was doubtful that all power
could be cut off in any area
even in the event of a nuclear

attack.
Some radio stations switched
immediately to auxiliary power
and began broadcasting pleas
for residents of the great area
to keep off the streets.
At New York's Bellevue Hospital, two operations were under

James Dean, who returned

Dean, now a graduate student

"America more or less fell into

YOU, TOO, CAN BE INFERIOR
The second gravest problem confronting college students
today is inferiority feelings. (The first gravest problem is,
of course, the recent outbreak of moult among sorority
house canaries.) Let us today look into the causes of inferiority feelings and their possible cures.
Psychologists divide inferiority feelings into three principal categories:
1. Physical inferiority.
2. Mental inferiority.
3. Financial inferiority.
(A few say there is also a fourth category: ichthyological
inferiority a feeling that other people have prettier fish-- but
I believe this is common only along the coasts and in
the Great Lakes area.)
Let us start with the feeling of physical inferiority, perhaps the easiest to understand. Naturally we are inclined
to feel inferior to the brawny football captain or the beautiful homecoming queen. But we should not. Look at all the
people, neither brawny nor beautiful, who have made their
marks in the world. Look at Napoleon. Look at Socrates.
Look at Caesar. Look at Lassie.
What I mean is you can't always tell what's inside a
package by looking at the outside. (Sometimes, of course,
you can. Take Personna Stainless Steel Blades, for example. Just one glance at that jolly blue and white package-- so
bright and pert, so neat but not gaudy and you know it
has to contain blades of absolute perfection. And you are

But I digress. Let us turn now to the second category
mental inferiority. A lot of people think they are dumber
than other people. This is not so. It must be remembered
that there are different kinds of intelligence. Take, for instance, the classic case of the Sigafoos brothers, Claude and
Sturbridge, students at a prominent Western university
(Dartmouth). It was always assumed that Claude was the
more intelligent just because he knew more than Sturbridge
about the arts, the sciences, the social sciences, the humanities, and like that. Sturbridge, on the other hand, was ten
times smarter than Claude when it came to tying granny
knots. But no matter; everybody looked down on "Stupid
Sturbridge," as they called him, and looked up to "Clever
Claude," as they called him. But who do you think turned
out to be the smart one when their granny almost got loose
and ran away? You guessed it good old Stupid Sturbridge.
We arrive now at the final category, financial inferiority.
One way to deal with this condition is to increase your in-

come. You can, for example, become a fence. Or you can

But a better way to handle financial inferiority is to accept it philosophically. Ixok on the bright side of poverty.
True, others may have more money than you have, but
look at all the things you have that they don't debts, for

instance, and hunger cramps.

* The Not So Free
Student Press
Rejection last week of a resolution calling for freedom of the
student press in Kentucky reveals
a significant shortcoming within
the collegiate fourth estate.
Although the proposal presented
to the Kentucky Intercollegiate
Press Association contained ten
points relevant to the function and
responsibilities of the collegiate
press, only one section, that prohibiting prior censorship by members of the faculty or administration, caused controversy.
Some delegates apparently

op-

posed the resolution because they
support the idea of administrative
control. Others objected to the
phraseology "in no case can a
representative of the university
(administration). . .have the implied or express power of prior
censorship." They feared their administrators would be "offended"
and might in reprisal interfere with
their concept of a "free student
press" on campus.
By admitting fear of administrative reprisal, the students, in
all frankness, admitted to absence
of a truly "free student press" on
their campuses. By admitting their
fears, delegates confessed to administrative pressure, subtle or
otherwise, which interferes with
real freedom.
However, of even greater concern to us is that student journalists have refused to assume the
role as advocates for a free press.
Evidently, many of them are content in their present status as
auxiliary public relations staff
members.
The shortcomingof this thinking
is that a free press is vital to a
modern educational institution.

Therein the student press derives
its freedom not from constitutional
rights guaranteed to the publisher
(for technically, the colleges and
universities are the publishers), but
from acceptance of the idea of a
free forum for the active interchange
of ideas so essential to learning.
A probing press helps promote
an atmosphere of quest for truth.
It has the liberty to delve into
any field of curiosity and the freedom for the open discussion of
ideas. These concepts characterize
the more progressive institutions
of higher learning.
Therefore, an educational institution's image is greatly enhanced
by its willingness to submit itself
to intense examination by the student press, more so than if it
attempts to coerce the press into
of harpresenting a pseudo-imag- e
mony which rarely approaches
reality.
Consequently, we criticize not
only those administrations stifling
a free student press, but also the
students who are unwilling tochal-leng- e
the current policy and take
a positive stand for the elimination of administrative control.
This issue no longer will be
ignored, for four Kentucky schools,
including UK, voted for the resolution at the KIPA meeting. By doing
so they have raised the question
of control of the student press to
the level of public attention.
Hopefully, when the resolution
is introduced again at the organization's spring meeting, all 32
member schools will have considered thoroughly its proposals and
will cast their vote not only for
support of freedom of the press,
but also in favor of a vigorous
quest for the truth.

To The Editor:

It again appears that the Student
Congress has been tested and that
it again has been found lacking.
I refer to the recent refusal of the
Student Congress to take a stand
on the Vietnam issue.
One wonders if Joe College,
Sally Sorority and Philip Frat will
ever take a stand on anything any
more

substantial than maintaining

his or her campus political machine.
While the rest of the world goes
roaring by or should I say further
beyond us, the student representative group (if it can be called
representative in any sense) shows
its apathy by refusal to act.
It is high time that the Student
Congress did more than get together and commend themselves on
what an excellent job that they
are doing. Why not let the
Student Congress which claims to
speak for the student body organize
a blood donor campaign for the
wounded in Vietnam. This is something which would serve both our
cause and the Vietnamese people.
Probably the effort would be too
simple for the student Congress
to undertake what with all their
important business to attend to
such as seeing that Sally, Joe and
Philip have a ball the coming weekend. Maybe some of them aren't
completely apathetic. It is time that
they acted rather than talked. A
good motto for the Student Congress should be ACTA NON
VERBA. VEHBA NON ACTA describes it to date.
