In Vietnam
Sparks Informal Debate
By WALTER GRANT
Editor-in-Chi-

Heated informal debates on
U.S. involvement in the Vietnam
conflict occured in the Student
Center throughout theday Thursday as a prelude to tonight's
Vietnam Forum.
The discussions, which were
held in front of an information
booth operated by the Students
for a Democratic Society, frequently developed into emotional

arguments. Charges and countercharges of stupidity and ignorance, emphasized with occasional use of profanity, were
exchanged between SDS members operating the booth and
passers-by-

Tonight's forum, scheduled

in Memorial Hall,
will feature four speakers-t- wo
defending and two opposing the
nation's involvement in Vietnam.
The debates Thursday began

In a seminar appearance here
last spring scholar Max Lerner predicted that government would be

The University already seems

prediction as the state has realized

The License For Protest
THE RIGHT OF PROTEST is
an absolutely essential part of our
American system of democracy. It
is deeply embeded in the Bill of
Rights. What good is free speech to
a citizen if he cannot use it to
protest policies of his government
which he does not approve?
All of us have a natural tendency
to follow a double standard on
demonstrations. We look kindly on
a protest march when the cause
agrees with our own sentiments,
but view a demonstration for
another point of view as disgraceful.
We must keep reminding ourselves
that the principle is the same in
both cases. Any American has a
right to make his opinion known,
no matter how unpopular the cause
he proclaims.
This right is only limited by acts
of direct illegality. Such an act is
the burning of draft cards. This
extreme gesture, which must bring
arrest and punishment, is a grave
disservice to those who sincerely
want to alter the course of American
policy in Vietnam.

shallow understanding of the issue.
It seems to be their idea that anybody who suggests a reconsideration of American foreign policy in
Asia is either a kook or a Communist, or both.
No doubt there would be fewer

student demonstrations if serious
debate on Vietnam were taking
place in Washington. Senator
Fulbright is almost alone, however, in publicly urging some
changes in our position there (not
of course including immediate withdrawal). When American leaders
appear reluctant to discuss an issue
of such vast importance, it is small
wonder that students attack the
subject in their own way, ineffective though it may be.
It is worth remembering, too,
that only a few years ago young
Americans were scared out of their
wits to make any show of sympathy
for any unpopular cause. Most of
them did not even dare to join a
campus organization which might
be considered "controversial," lest
the association be dredged up years
later to block advancement in business or eligibility for a government
job. The passing of the McCarthy
era has freed young Americans from
that pall of conformity, and the
movement has provided
a cause in which many of them
have poured out their idealistic

The effectiveness of protest is a
point that must be considered quite
separately from the matter of legal
ity of protest. Students have a plain
right to march in demonstrations in
the most bizarre kind of attire. It is
beyond denial, however, that a look
of freakishness weakens their effort.

still recourses to justice in this

To The Editor:
This is being written in reply to
a letter by one Allen Rubin,
published in the Kernel, Wednesday, October 27, 1965.

Having talked to seven officials
of the Lexington Police Department, and having studied the evidence introduced into the Lexington Police Court, I would like to
fill in some gaps in Mr. Rubin's
story.

held in a residence adjacent to Good

Three complaints of excessive
noise at this party were received by
police during the evening. Three

made in response to the calls no

received by police complaining of a
disorder in the parking lot across
the street. Upon arrival, officers
discovered a near-rio- t

ironical that the very groups who
dismiss law and order without a
second thought when it serves their
purpose, to do so, are the first to
demand strict law enforcement
when they feel that their rights have
been threatened.
I don't find our local police to be
ignorant or unethical, as you insinuate. I find them to be proficient,

Spurs Interest In Student Judging Of Teaching

Oregon Teaching Awards Require
Students' Voice In Selections
PORTEND, Ore.

(CPS)-Tl-

iis

fall state colleges and universities in Oregon face a thornv
problem -l- iow to spend $230,000
allotted by tlie state legislature
for awards for excellence in teaching.
The schools would gladly
accept and dole out the money
but the legislature set a precedent
by adding: "Students shall be
involved in either the nomination
or the selection of grant winners.
They may be involved in both
the nomination or selection."
The result is that students
have become heavily involved in
both. They will have the first,
and in some cases the last, word
in deciding which 250 Oregon
professors (about one in 10) will
receiyea $L000 bqniis.
In all, the legislature appropriated $500,000 for the project
and the remaining $250,000 will
be given out next year.
Some of Oregon's nine colleges
and universities have been experimenting with forms of student

On the other hand, Southern.
Oregon College and Portland
State College will conduct their
student polls by a computer and
will put a great part of the weight
on the automated results, without
polls by computer and will put
a great part of the weight on
the automated results, without
special emphasis on any other
judgment.
Brandford Miller, president at
Portland State, said that one
faculty member had already withdrawn his name from the eligible
list. The teacher feared, he said,
the way the poll would be
handled. Plans now call for students to be handed a computer
card on the last day of class and
asked to rate their teachers on
six points.
The six criteria are: "stimulates thinking, shows a considerate attitude toward students,
organizes and prepares course
well, explains and illustrates
clearly, inspires confidence in
the knowledge of his subject,
and willing to listen to and consider differences of opinion."
Other schools are calling for
student nominations of faculty,
with written reasons for the
nominations. The results will
then be secretly compiled, and
the selections will be made by a
committee composed, usually, of
faculty and students.

schools did not ask for the
teaching awards. They were formulated by the legislature as a
means of providing "merit pay"
and as an inspiration to classroom teachers.
Each institution is left to work
out its own plan for awarding
the grants.
James Jansen, president of
Oregon State University, said
that OSU nearly rejected the
whole idea at a recent faculty
meeting because of opposition to
the judging criteria. He said that
OSU's plan for distribution of
award money passed the senate
by only four votes and that it
might well have failed if some
faculty members had not thought
this might be taken as a vote
against undergraduate teaching.

Officials of the colleges and
universities said faculty concerns
about the program were generally
that it would become a popularity
contest, that a professor's award
may alter the chances of his
getting a raise or a promotion,
and that too many arbitrary
judgments are involved in the
selection process.
Hoy E. Lieuallan, chancellor
of the state system of higher
education, said he felt most
schools wanted to give the awards
around February or March to
encourage top teachers to stay
at the institution. This would
necessitate that the selections
be made sometime near the end of
the fall term, Lieualian said.
Oregon's college professors
have long been rated for "merit
pay" but by their
