Protesters in the crowd of

and ”stop the bombing" at Mr.
Rusk and booed and hissed when
he mentioned President Johnson.
Applause mingled with the jeers.
A brief fist fight erupted in a
balcony near the end of Mr.
Rusk's speech. When a youth
yelled "murderer" at Mr. Rusk,
g“ a middle-aged woman whacked
the heckler on his head with an
_ umbrella.

the secretary at one point told

negotiations now, if they are
willing."

BLOO'MINGTON, Ind. (UPI)—-Secretary of State Dean Rusk
exchanged words Tuesday with booing, catcalling antiwar dem-
onstrators who interrupted him after nearly every sentence of a

“The bombing can stop to-
morrow if we get a little help
from Hanoi," Mr. Rusk added.
“We should be able to know
what would happen if we stop."

Mr. Rusk said Hanoi has
shown no signs of a willingness
to talk even if the bombing of
North Vietnam were stopped.

“There is no peace for this
country if the rest of the world
is in chaos," Mr. Rusk warned
students and faculty members.

”If any of you suppose that
peace can be reached by letting
one small country after another
be gobbled up, then you've got
a lot to learn."

Outside, Signs And Rain

Sign-toting demonstrations
milled outside the university au-
ditorium in a light rain as Rusk
spoke. They did not interfere as
helmeted police carrying night-
sticks escorted the secretary from
the auditorium.

Thirty-seven antiwar demon-
strators were arrested on the carn-
pus Monday when they staged
a sit-down in the School of Bus-
iness building and refused to
leave peaceably. They were
charged with disorderly conduct.

Mr. Rusk told an audience at
Columbus, Ind., Monday night
that "Hanoi undoubtedly has
been encouraged by the peace
demonstrations in this country."

Higher Class Of Users

“A few years ago the mari-
juana user who came to the
court's attention was usually a
member of a minority group from
a slum area with a poverty—

”Today, the judge sees an in-
creasing number of marijuana
users from good families, stu-
dents with above average grades
and without a prior record of de-
linquency."

Students, What Did You
Do With Those Pots?

Where have all the flower pots gone? And the swivel chairs?

And the TV set?

Answers to these questions—
and others equally mysterious—-
are sought by Daniel Wentz, head
of UK’s Insurance Department,
and Devaughn Pratt, supervisor
of purchasing.

Their problem is that they are
losing things. And they're losing
them, apparently, to students
who feel they need plant pots,
swivel chairs and TV sets more
than the University does.

Mr. Pratt estimates that stu-
dents moonlighting as theives al-
ready have absconded with more
than $2,500 worth of University
property from the Complex alone.

Mr. Wentz, whois responsible
for the insurance angle, finds all
this ”disappointing." He adds
that the University will have no
funds to replace much of the lost
merchandise.

High on his catalogue ofwoes:
”We purchased eight modern
swivel chairs for the men's tower,
and the next day five were stolen. "

Mr. Pratt counters with a
complaint of his own:

“We purchased several $45
plant pots and left them outside
overnight at the Complex so the
florist would transfer plants into

 

them. When the florist arrived,
the pots had vanished. I don't
know why — or how — people
would steal pots weighing 60
pounds each."

And, of course, there is the
nameless student enjoying his
favorite TV programs at the ex-
pense of the University.

Theft isn't the only problem,
however. Mr. Pratt is equally ex-
asperated by students who used
an expensive Complex coffee
table as a footstool. ”The last
time I saw it," he said, “it was
literally eaten away."

Crambling

Strike Is
F tzzlmg

GRAMBLING, La. (UPI) ——
Brig. Gen. Thomas Bonner an-
nounced Tuesday he was de—
activating 500 of the 616 Louis-
iana National Guardsmen who
have stood watch for four days
over tense student demonstra-
tions at predominantly Negro
Crambling College.

He said he would withdraw‘
the final unit Wednesday if the
situation at the college remained
calm Tuesday night.

Some students continued a
boycott of classes at the sports-
proud state school Tuesday, but
most of them returned to class-
rooms.

School officials said the six-
day protest seemed to be ”run-
ning out of steam" following the
explusion of 27 student leaders
Monday.

Began Wednesday

About 300 helmeted troops
guarded the campus Monday
night but were moved back to
the nearby Ruston, La., armory
Tuesday morning. A total of 616
troops have been kept on astand-
by basis at Ruston since Satur-
day.

Students began boycotting
classes last Wednesday in a de-
mand for higher academic stand-
ards and less emphasis on sports
at the state school, one of the na-
tion's top producers of profes-
sional athletes.

At least 27 students were ex-
pelled Monday for their roles in
blocking building entrances last
week. They ended the blockade
Saturday but said the boycott
would continue.

UL, Kentucky Southern
Confirm Merger Talk

LOUISVII LE, Ky. (AP)

The presidents of the University of

Louisville and Kentucky Southem College confirmed Tuesday that
talks are under way on a possible merger of the two schools.

”There have been discus-
sions," Louisville President Dr.
Philip Davidson said. ”Nothing
has been officially determined
as yet."

Dr. Rollin S. Burhans, Ken-
tucky Southern president, agreed
with Davidson, saying, ”There's
been nothing official or binding
in any way.

Bob Schmidt, a student leader
at Sacramento State College, of-
fered this theory:

”It is indicative of the entire
disillusionment, the entire frus-
tration, of our generation against
what we feel have been lies told
to us . . . on marijuana as well
as other issues.

“We have been told it is an
addictive narcotic, told it leads
to the use of heroin, told it is
physically destructive. We found
these were lies."

A girl marijuana user in Bis-
marck, N.D., asked “Why do
people drink? Why does a drink
really taste good now and then?
Marijuana has the same effect,
only its not as habit forming as
alcohol." _

Dr. James L. Goddard, direc-

Gordon Ford, a Kentucky
Southern trustee, indicated that
a merger would provide Louis-
ville with Kentucky's Southern's
campus, which would be'”an
ideal move for the U of L."

Kentucky Southern has been
in financial trouble for sometime.

Is What They Say About Marijuana A Lie?

ministration, shocked a lot of
people when the subject of mar-
ijuana came up during a news
conference at the University of
Minnesota.

Less Dangerous Than Alcohol?

”Whether marijuana is a more
dangerous drug than alcohol is
debatable," Dr. Goddard said.
“I don't happen to think it is."

He added that he felt the pen—
alties for possession of marijua-
na should be repealed, while re-
taining prison sentences for sell-
ingthe stuff.
