(UPI)—Anti-Vietnam war protestors staged a sit-down demonstration Monday in the Indiana University School of Business to protest job interviews by the Dow Chemical Co. Fortystudents were arrested Someoithosearrestedhad tobecarriedtoabuswhich tookthemtojail. The Dow firm produces na- palm for the Vietnam conflict. A state police riot squad and six carloads of Bloomington city police broke up the sit-in. The demonstration came on the eve of an appearance at Indiana by Secretary of State Dean Rusk. There had been I indications that groups both for and against Vietnam policy would 3 t a g e demonstrations Tuesday morning when Mr. Rusk speaks in a campus audi- torium.

Crambling Orders 25 Off Its Campus By FRANK BROWNING CRAMBLINC, La. (CPS)—Crambling College suspended 25 students Monday who have been leading demonstrations and class strikes aimed at upgrading the “academic environment" of the school and de-emphasizing sports. The students, 22 men and three women, were given two hours to leave the campus. Among those suspended were the student body president and the editor of the student news- paper. The mass suspensions, how- ever, did not end a student boy- cott of classes which began Oct. 25. The college, which is pre- dominateiy Negro, has a total enrollment of 4,200 students, but only 200 attended calsses Monday. Student leaders said the strike will contnue in- definitely. The tense situation here last week came to a head Saturday when Louisiana Gov. John Mc- Keithen ordered 500 National Guardsmen to blunt possible student uproars. The troops never arrived at the campus, but are still standing by at Ruston, a town six miles away. Came As Surprise The suspension of the student leaders Monday came as a sur- prise. The students were called before a joint meeting of the college's Disciplinary Commit- tee and the Interdepartmental Council. Three minutés after the meeting began the suspensions were announced. Three students are members of the Disciplinary Committee, but two of those — the student body president and vice presi- dent — were among the 25 suspended. Other members of the committee are faculty mem— bers and administrators. Crambling President Ralph Jones, who doubles as baseball coach, refused to make any com- ment on the week of demon- strations. H o w e v e r, Noldan Thomas, a member of a 12-man faculty mediating group selected by the students, characterized the school as ranking academ- ically among the “lowest of Negro colleges in the country.” Athletics Overemphasized Mr. Thomas said athletics are definitely overemphasized at Crambling. “Athletics are pri- oritized in funds, the yearbook, and public relations materials, and even the president has made the baseball Hall of Fame." Crambling has a nationwide reputation for its athletic teams. The school has produced a number of professional athletes, among them Willie Davis of the Green Bay Packers, Ernie Ladd of the Kansas City Chiefs and Willis Reed of the New York Knickerbockers. About 3,500 of the school's 4,200 students met in a mass rally Sunday night and decided to continue the boycott of classes this week. Students said the strike will continue until their demands of the administra- tion are met. DiSsent Cheers Hanoi, Rusk Says In Indiana COLUMBUS, Ind. (UPI)—Secretary of State Dean Rusk said Monday night that recent peace demonstrations in the United States undoubtedly encouraged Hanoi to continue its fight in Vietnam. In a hard-hitting defense of the administration's Vietnam policy, Mr. Rusk acknowledged that “we must guard carefully our precious rights of free speech." But he expressed the "hope that good Americans would realize that all we say here is heard in Hanoi — and Peking “Hanoi undoubtedly has been encouraged by the peace demon- strations in this country," Mr. Rusk said in an address at a high school gymnasium here. “A few days ago a high North Vietnamese official called the peace demonstrators in this country comrades-in-arms,” Mr. Rusk said. Soldiers ‘Real Spokesrnen’ “How can he be brought to realize that the comrades-in- arrns who really speak for the American people are our sol- diers, sailors, marines and air- men in Southeast Asia?" the secretary asked. Mr. Rusk said critics of Presi— dent Iohnson’s Vietnam policy advocated adopting "the bank- rupt ideas which led my gen- eration of students directly into the catastrophe of World War II.” He said it was imperative that the United States remember the lessons “we learned at such heavy cost" during World War II because, “We shall not have a chance to draw the lessons from World War III — there would not be enough left." Mr. Rusk denied accusations that he changed his explanation for U.S. involvement in Viet- nam at an Oct. 21 news con- ference when he placed new emphasis on Chinese aggres- sion. “Obviously we did not enter into treaties of mutual defense with IIapan, the Philippines, Austra is and New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, the Republic of China, and through SEATO in contemplation of aggression by the Eskimos," Mr. Rusk said. Some of the administration's critics in Congress have accused Mr. Rusk of raising the ancient fear of “yellow peril" in that news conference when he said the United States was fighting to contain Communist China. The principal question in the world, Mr. Rusk said, was how to find and enforce a lasting peace. “It cannot be achieved by wishful thinking, or by pass— ing pious resolutions, or by carrying signs with slogans,” he added. "The loss of Southeast Asia to hostile power or powers would be a weighty shift of the balance of power to the dis- advantage of the free world, and would affect adveme the world situation as a whole,” Mr. Rusk said.
