Dr. Kirwan presented a
report on the state of the

and the Medical Center's computerization of blood test results.
The Board approved the establishment of two new departments: a Department of Oral

as chairman, and a Department
of Clincal Pastoral Counseling
in the School of Allied Health

Nixon himself talked of it
Tuesday, telling a news conference he has heard reports of
collusion between southern Democrats and Wallace supporters,
designed to deny him the electoral votes of states in the South.
As Nixon described it, the attempt would be to deny him a
majority vote in the electoral
college, and thus send the White
House choice to the House of
Representatives.

establish some relations between

The petition included such
recommendations as the retirement of Police Chief E.C. Hale,
an increase in police salaries, and
a citizen's commission to investigate police action. It also called
for a "sensitivity training" program to be given to all members
of the police force.
The Young Democrats, after
a few debates on parliamentary

on the petition until the next

Another question was then
brought up by member John Meis-bur- g
concerning who should be

meeting but left when the group
postponed the vote on the petition.) He moved that the meeting

motion died for lack of a second.

Speech Policy"educational

The Faculty Senate has acted
and presented the Board of Trustees with a restrictive speaker policy, but nothing else has much
changed. The Senate either lacked
the courage to ignore the apparent
political pressure in the state and
give the University a speaker policy providing for undeniable freedom of discussion on campus or
they failed to realize the contradictions of their actions.
The policy adopted can be attacked from at least two angles.
First, the Senate decided the University should prohibit speakers to
be on campus if the meetings will
not be peaceful and orderly and will
interfere with the proper functioning of the academic community.
In order to enforce this policy,
the University would have to know
what was going to happen long
before it occurred. They would have

misrelevant to the
the University 'in the prosion of
viding of opportunity for
objective evaluation and
dissemination of knowledge." We
maintain, as Prof. Gene Mason
did Monday, that every speaker
is going to be relevant to someone. And certainly, in an academic
environment, the University should
not be the one to decide to what
stimuli students should be exposed.
The University has disclaimed that
policy long ago.
open-minde-

d,

The Faculty Senate had an opportunity to give this University
a better policy. A substitute motion, parts of which were endorsed
by the American Association of University Professors, American Association for Higher Education and
other academic groups, was defeated last week by the group. And
the Senate Monday refused to delete the most harmful parts of the
new policy or to make an addition
which would have strengthened the
statement. And the refusal of the
group to go on record individually
by a roll call vote shows they may
feel a bit guilty about what they
did.
So now the University has before it a written speaker policy,

not unlike the unwritten policy
that seems to have been followed
in recent years. Not much has
changed, except that the Faculty

...

Fortissimo

. . !'

By David Holwerk

Looking at the speaker policy adopted
by the Faculty Senate Monday night,
any student who successfully passed
Freshman Composition must be appalled
by the great lack of substance in what
the policy says and by the apparent
lack of concern which the University's
faculty has exhibited over this emptiness.
Apparently the Faculty Senate feels
that it has really said something when
it stated, that "educational relevance"
will be the criterion for judging the acceptability of a speaker. "Educational
relevance" however is not an exclusive
term. Everything has educational relevance. What the Faculty Senate has actually said, then, is either that they will
let everybody speak or that they will
arbitrarily choose for students what is
relevant to their lives.
If the Senate actually believes that
they have said that anybody may speak
on any subject, then it is either incapable
of composing a clear English sentence or
it is powerfully sleepy. If, on the other
hand, it feels that it has set up a sly

means for secretly controlling what is
said at the University, then it is tricky
and ineptly machiavellian.
Either way, it seems clear that the
Faculty Senate is incapable of speaking
clearly on the real issues with which it
deals. If the Senate means "Everything
has educational relevance and so anyone can speak on any subject," then why
doesn't it say so? If the Senate means
"We're going to carefully screen all speakr
ers to avoid any controversy even at the
risk of violating rights guaranteed by the
Constitution," why doesn't it say so? Or
if the Senate means "We don't think
students have the intelligence to pick
what is relevant to their educations and
lives," why doesn't it say so?
Of course it is possible that the Faculty
Senate doesn't know w hat it said, or rather
doesn't realize that what it said smacks
of either totalitarianism or stupidity. But
then it is Faculty Senate. And everybody
knows that they couldn't be guilty of
either of those things. So they must know
what they've done.

Negotiations In Fourth Month

Paris Deadlock Blamed On U.S. Ambitions
DIM I

By TRAN VAN

WASHINGTON

(CPS)-Fo-

ur

ninths have passed since the

Democratic Republic of Vietnam
(DRVN) agreed to send in May
19G8 a delegation headed by Minister Xuan Thuy to begin official
talks in Paris with rquesentatives
of the United States. Yet no progress has been made, although
Secretary Rusk often in the past
stated that what he needed was
an answer, a signal from Hanoi
and the war would be over.

Nctcs Commentary
Since then Washington has
escalated its conditions, which
in fact amount to the surrender
of the DRVN and of the National

Liberation Front of South Vietnam (NLF), and the recognition
of the legitimacy of the U.S.
intervention in Vietnam. It is
not difficult for anyone who has
read only one page in the long
history of Vietnam to predict
that the answer to such demands
can only be, "No."
The patience of the DRVN
delegation, whose country is being pounded daily by B52's, is
indeed amazing. And so is the
persistence of the U.S. delegation, whose cities are not touched
by bombs, in their rhetoric. Chicago's peace is disturbed, not by
the NLF mortars, not by the
students, but by Mayor Daley's
police troops and their Mace.
The purpose of any meeting

or conference is to reason over
differences, and to reason requires
the admission of certain basic
truths. If one side is deaf to
those truths, no conference can
succeed no matter how long it
lasts. On August 28 the Paris
talks had reached their 19th session; even at that late date.
Minister Xuan Thuy had to call
the attention of Averell Harri-ma- n
to such obvious truths as
these:
"I have many a time made
an analysis of it (the origin of
the war). As fully demonstrated
by facts, the origin lies in the
U.S. government's
aggression
and its sabotage of the 1954
Geneva Agreements on Vietnam.
The introduction by the U.S.

of more than half a million troops
and more than 60,000 satellite
troops into South Vietnam, and
the unwarranted air and naval
attacks on the DRVN, have exposed before the world and American public opinion the real nature of the U.S. aggression.
No Right
"You (Mr. Harriman) have
besides tried to mislead public
opinion by pretending that the
United States has only "limited
objectives" in Vietnam. It must
be clearly pointed out that the
United States has no right to have

Botanist Shuns 'Killing Students' Interest'

By ELAINE KNAPP
Dr. Willem Meijer is a Dutch-

man with definite ideas about
teaching American students.
As a botanist, he feels that
many of his fellows have "killed
students' interest" in the subject. With this in mind, he is
opposed to the rote memorization of facts and prefers his students to develop an awareness
of their surroundings.
Recently arrived here, Dr.
Meijer spent the past nine years
studying tropical trees and flora
in North Borneo. A visiting associate professor, he isoneof four
doctorate professors hired by the
Botany Department this fall.
The others are Dr. James El ey,
biochemist, who did his post doctorate work at Brandeis University; Dr. Jerry M. Baskin, ecolo-gis- t,
at the
with a
University of Florida, and Dr.
Thomas Leonard, mycologist,
from Harwith a
vard.
While here. Dr. Meijer hopes
to study the flora of Kentucky

and teach a course in it this
spring, open to freshmen.
Explore Surroundings
"I believe in your slogan Explore Kentucky," Dr. Meijer said.
"It adds pleasure to people's
lives if they know their local

surroundings."
Limited this semester to teaching a taxonomy (classification of
plants) course with four students,

Dr. Meijer is considering undera five-yestudy of state
flora.
"But I would need support
for that. At least a grant to pay
the technological staff," he said.
His longings are not sheerly
scientific. "For example, if a
study was undertaken of your
local wild fruit trees, they could
be hybridized and made more
hardy. Or grasses could be
studied for their agricultural
value and local flora for ornamental plant possibilities."

plored. In 1967 alone, North Borneo exported $70 million worth
of timber.
Of a staff of 30, Dr. Meijer
was the only botanist involved
in the study. "The highest concentration of botanists is in the
United States and northern Europe, yet the greatest number of
plants is in the tropics," Dr.
Meijer said.
A Cake Diet
Dr. Meijer sees knowledge of
plants as an answer to world
hunger. "India's major problem
is lack of organization. They have
the necessary natural resources,"
s,
he said. Since Indians are
soybean protein cakes
could take the nutritional value
of meat, which is forbidden. The
problem that arises is getting the
people to accent such cakes as
food. This would be the job of
an agricultural extension service,
Dr. Meijer said.
Here, the program of training
botanists to face these problems
is undergoing a serious revision.
