The second major change in the revision affects the state's system of higher
education. Under the present constitution,
the governor can gain complete control
of every college and university board, because he appoints every voting member
during his term in office.
In addition to the obvious dangers
of such a system, state schools could be
punished by accrediting agencies due to
this framework.

The new charter eliminates these
dangers by providing staggered terms for
board members. However, a governor elected to succeed himself still could eventually appoint most of the voting members
of the boards. But it is unlikely that the

The new constitution also eliminates

Temple University Prof. Paul
Van Buren wrote the "Secular

he explained the difficulty of

The "live issue" of the "God

of three men, according to William Barr, associate professor of
systematic theology at the Lexington Theological Seminary.
In the last session of a three-lectur- e

when they tried to separate "God
talk from Jesus talk."
Other speakers in the BSU series were Robert Fleishman and
Joe Smith.
Monday night Robert Fleishman, a University philogophy
student, said the question of
God's death referred only to
sociology or psychology, and that
in the theological sense the
question was meaningless to him.
Joe Smith, new BSU director,
said Tuesday that individuals
have withdrawn from God and
rejected his existence but God has
not withdrawn from them.

The Safety Department's inspections will try to "preclude

New Sound in Music

Folk-Roc- k:
By RALPH CHERRY
Kernel Arts Writer
Rob Dylan walked onto the
stage at the 1963 Newport Folk
Festival, accompanied only by
his single guitar, sang "Blow-iIn the Wind," and was uproariously applauded by an audience
of 34,000.
Two years later he mounted
the same stage, but this time
along with a combo of electric
guitars, basses, and drums. He
was booed off before he could
open his mouth.
A short while later, Dylan
and Joan Bacz stated jointly
that, since they considered rock
and roll an important part of
American folk music, it must be
included in their repertoires.
Either that, or they couldn't call
themselves "true" folk singers.
The cycle was then complete.
The undisputed king and queen
of folk music took up their elec-

By definition, folk music is
music of the people. It starts
in the grass roots of society and
for the most part stays there.

But our American society is
the world's most colossal hybrid.
It is impossible for us to pinpoint
one particular culture and call
it our heritage. The English have
had a strong influence on us,
granted, but not an overpowering one. This is true from
body type and hair color right
down to the songs that came
with the Pilgrims on the Mayflower.

Suppose a song did come to
us via the Mayflower, as many
probably did. It stayed with the
settlers for a few generations,
then began to travel along with
the pioneers.

the way, it encountered Indians, Poles, Spaniards,
Negroes, Orientals practically
every major ethnic group in the
world, right here on the same
land mass.
And at the end of the journey, if there is an end, the song
is no longer English. It has
taken on characteristics of every
group it has been associated
with, and has come out simply
"American."
Along

But he would be wrong before
he started.

So American folk music is
all but a mirror of American
society itself. Small wonder that
its latest move would be to rock
and roll.
Rock and roll had its beginnings in jazz, and jazz in turn
started with the primitive beat
of the African native. So, thanks
to the Negro slave, jazz and rock
and roll are both intrinsically
American, and, as Baez and Dylan say, they are a part of our
folk music.
If you were among those who
hooted Dylan off the stage in
1965, you may have been comforted to sec over the years that
he hasn't lost his touch for "message" songs. And if you still
hold out for the more traditional
approach, there will always be

a majority of the committee feels
that in the middle of a war you
don't have hearings on a country

At least one major news service

mean that plans for the public
hearing will be dropped, or left
lying.

In other words, the senators
don't think very highly of the
people's right to know. Apparently the county should be satisfied
with handout reports and leave
the hearings and objective fact
finding to writers of history books.
At the present, the committee
is holding a Thailand hearing,
but behind closed doors. Testimony has shown that 35,000 men
are stationed in Thailand, 10,000
more than estimates w hen the hearing was proposed. The number is
three times the strength there last
December.

Committee Chairman Fulbright
called for the public sessions to
determine whether the United
States is getting involved in

"another Vietnam" in Thailand,
and to prevent escalation of Thailand's war out of the public eye.
He had argued that the committee
wasn't a "rubber stamp for the
executive branch," and said he

wanted to know how many soldiers
are in Thailand and what they are
doing.
But the administration, and apparently some committee members,
view it differently. Instead of
making the facts public, the administration is complying with the
Thai government's insistence on
secrecy about the American military build-u- p in Thailand.
