association of Negro students.
Dr. Philip Crossen, chairman
of the commission, saidthe meeting with Mr. Johnson will "not
be to answer the specific allegations but to organize efforts to
look into the complaints."
Grievances from the Negro
students included "weak" recruiting of Negro faculty and students, discrimination in
housing, and white professors failure to recognize Negro
students in the classroom.
Dr. Crossen, a Lexington physician, said the meeting Tuesday

Gov. Shafer slightly apologetic announced that he personally went to Dr. Yoder's office

western Pennsylvania college students were totally and permanently blinded 18 months ago when

Coal President Charges Press With Distorting Facts

By MARTIN E. WEBB
Churning the national and local press for "presenting the people with a distorted picture of
strip mining," Kentucky Coal
Association president Fred Milliard linked the economic future
of Kentucky with its coal industry.
In a three part talk before
a small group of Lexington
Kiwanis Club
Thoroughbred
members Thursday, Mr. Billiard
discussal the coal industry and
its history, the competitive nature of the coal industry and the
effect of the severance tax upon
it.
Mr. Bullard pointed out that
coal has now replaced tobacco
as Kentucky's "number one cash
crop" and in 19G6 contributed

000.

The recent press coverage of
strip miningin Eastern Kentucky,
particularly Life Magazine's Jan.
12 edition, was criticized by Mr.
Bullard as "a terrifically critical
argument against the coal industry."
In two respects, he said, the
facts were particularly misrepresented. "For instance Life reported that 3.2 million acres had

it would also imply a tax on other

natural industries such as timber
and gravel and that such a tax
"wouldn't bring in the needed
revenue anyway."
In a question and answer pe-

riod which followed his talk,
Mr. Bullard was approached by
several club numbers who said
they were Eastern Kentucky natives. They asked about the
of the natural beauty
of the countryside.
"Even though it is pretty to

According to Mr. Bullard, coal
causes an acid condition within
the soil which, when disturbed

a chemical imbalance within the

is trying to correct this imbalance

The implication here," Mr.
Bullard said, "is that it was coal,

"They also stated that none
of the land mined had been restored, but if you will go to the
Department of Interior they will
tell you that 34 percent of the
land mined has been fully restored," he said.
The mounting pressure for a
severance tax on coal and the
possibility that a law to prohibit strip mining might reach
the legislature was termed "unfortunate" by Mr. Bullard.
He went on to add that he
didn't feel such a tax would be
passed by the legislature because

chancellor at the school at the

Dr. Kurtzman told Gov. Shafer he had absolutely no knowledge of the incident. That, the

Later that night I saw Tom
Stoppard's "Bosencrantz and

dead. In fact, they are very much
alive at the Alvin Theatre in the
City. The English play "Bosencrantz and Cuildcnstcrn Are

best show on Broadway now.
This would be would be quite
an honor with such competition
as "Hello Dolly !" "Pantagleize"

that 1 forgot where my seat was

I was exhausted and

only so many way s y ou can say

time he makes his men the scapegoats. Albee's misogamy extends
to the point where in his play
the wives drive their husbands

interesting but was not in Boand Guildenstern's

I was
very moved and wonder
why the play is just now being

the show, one man behind me
noted that it was the best written play he had ever seen in
New York. It was announced
as a farce to make you sad. It
did just that. It made me sad.

It Takes 'Personal Commitment', Not 'Sanitized Governments'

Reporter Sees Weaknesses In Peace Corps
By TRAN VAN DINII
Collegiate Press Service

WASHINGTON -- At its birth
in 1961, the Peace Corps was
close to my heart, for I am a
great believer in human fraternity.
I am also convinced that no
progress and no change in
of men can be made by
cold rhetoric or sanitized govern men t s it isonly pos si ble wi t h
a personal commitment at the
level. Human fratergrass-root- s
nity is a reality only when man's
ideas and hopes cross geographical and racial frontiers to engage other men into action.
The Peace Corps also sonx-hofits into the Kennedy era,
which seemed to usher the U.S.
and the world into a climate
of understanding.
Weakness Within Itself
Finally, the name of the oracon-munit-

y

w

ganization attracts me: the problem of mankind has been al-

ways war and only man himself can eradicate war by
g
his daily work to peace.
Hut even back in 1961, 1 had
suspected that the basic weakness of the Peace Corps lay within its own structure.
As a federal institution, it
is tied up to a bureaucracy. Recently the fundamental weakness
of the Peace Corps was revealed
by two events: the war in Vietnam and the disclosure of the
CIA penetration into apparently
independent organizations such
as the National Student Associadedi--eatin-

tion.
The war in Vietnam should
have automatically written off
the existence of the Peace Corps.
How can a country which sends

its planes to drop
and napalm bombs on the Vietnamese people claim it is sending under the same authority its
young citizens to work for peace
elsewhere?

Opposition to Vietnam War
This contradiction at first was
not perceived but it was gradually felt by the Peace Corps volunteers themselves. One needs
only to recall here the position
paper circulated by the returned
volunteers in May 1967. The paper
gave the following reasons for
their opposition to the war in
Vietnam:
It destroys in one developing country what we have worked
to build in so many other developing countries.
It has largely destroyed indigenous leadership responsive
to the needs and desires of the
people.
It undercuts the democratic
ideals for which we worked
abroad and which we uphold
within the U.S.
The
rhetoric
used to justify our actions there
obscures the fact that the basic
division in the world today is
between the rich and the poor.
It renders difficult, if not
impossible, domestic efforts to
eliminate poverty and to assure
the civil rights of all U.S. citizens.
In spite of assurances to the
contrary, our actions daily bring
us closer to an all-owar with
China or Russia, or both.

Draft Notices Hurt Corps

The war that destroys Vietnamese women and children is
getting to the Peace Corps vol

unteers as well. Corps Director
Jack Vaughn said on November
10, 1967: "the problem of induction notices to overseas volunteers is becoming a major concern for us. Pulling a volunteer
off a productive job at mid-tou- r
is unfair to the nation, the host
country, the Peace Corps and

the individual."

Mr. Vaughn did not mention, besides fairness, the prol
lem of the conscience of the
volunteer in the field. How can
a volunteer who is helping a
Thai boy grow and learn and
live reconcile himself to the
knowledge that in the next few
months he will kill a Vietnamese boy, not so far away from
Thailand? The
taking off
from the Thai airfields to bomb
North and South Vietnam should
be a constant reminder to the
volunteer of this agonizing reality.
The disclosure of the CIA
infiltration of several foundations and the NSA creates an
illogical situation that will be
difficult to overcome. If the CIA
can infiltrate many independent
at home and
organizations
abroad, why not then the Peace
Corps?

Ideological Double Standard
I have no evidence that the
CIA infiltrates the Peace Corps
and will concede that it doesn't.
But how can a Peace Corps volunteer answer an Asian or an
African when he is asked to
explain this anomaly: "How, in
an organized bureaucracy, does
one agency not exchange information and ideas with another
one under the same command?"

Lost: A 'Brilliant' Janitor

WASH INCTON (UPI- )- Selective Service headquarters Thursday canceled a Reno, Nev., draft
board's order that would have
put a University of Maryland
history professor to work as a

janitor.
The headquarters directed
that the case of Prof. Noel L.
Hrann, 30, a conscientious

ob-

jector be "reprocessed in accordance with applicable regulations."
Prof. Hrann is still subject to
being assigned to a civilian job
in lieu of induction into military
service but presumably will be
given work more in accordance
with his abilities and training.
Prof. Urann said his order to
report for janitorial duty at the
University of Kansas Medical
Center in Kansas City was "punitive" because he has opposed
the draft and turned in his draft
card.

canceled.
"It has been requested that
this registrant be reprocessed and
thereafter a new work order be
issued if this otherwise is in order," he said.
Prof. Brann was assigned to
the janitorial job as a conscientious object er in lieu of military
service. He turned in his draft

The only logical answer would
seem to be: What is w rong with
the CIA? Hut one doesn't need
to tell the people in the developing countries of what is wrong
with the CIA. Their rich imaginations and their knowledge of the
realities result in all sorts of fantastic stories, some true and some
not. And they believe these
stories.
How, then do we solve the
Peace Corps dilemma?
Two Changes Needed
During the last two years,
in my lectures in universities
and colleges in this country, I
have often been asked my opin
ion about the Peace Corps. After
analyzing the dilemma, I have
proposed these changes:
1. The Congress should make
the service in the Peace Corps
a substitute for military service.
A young American of draft age
should be able to choose either
service in the Peace Corps or in
the armed forces. He can, of
course, declare himself a conscientious objector (CO). He can
even make no choice, but then
he is to me qualified as an SO
(society objector).
2. The Peace Corps should be
internationalized through this
process:
Establish a board of directors composed of representatives
of all countries that receive the
volunteers.
Rotate the directorship of
the Peace Corps among countries according to alphabetical
order.
The deputy directors
should be chosen by regions
(Latin America, America, Asia,
Africa, Australia, Europe).
Each participating country
should pay one percent of
