Silber Urges 'Confidence' in Colleges

By MIKE MILAM
Kernel Staff Writer
The former dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the
University of Texas told an audience at the Student Center Ballroom last night that there is "no
rational basis to give students the
power that some administrators
have," and asked instead for
"confidence" in the university
system.
Dr. John R. Silber, who was
released from his UT post during
a dispute over the fragmentation
of the College of Arts and Sciences within the University system, claimed that student demands to fire old administrators
and hire new ones are not as
effective means of reform as

"fruitful

interchange between
faculty and students."
Silber spoke at an evening program sponsored by the University
Student Advisory Committee
(USAC) as part of a two-da- y
seminar on the quality of education. Also attending the program was Student Government
President Steve Bright.
Bright was the first to give
his presentation. He said that
the student has a two-fol- d
purpose at the University: as a
learner, and as an academic performer.

"The classroom perks up only
when grades are discussed,"
Bright said. He urged students
"to discuss their problems concerning any aspect of education

with their instructors." He also
called for "detailed letters emphasising good or bad lectures to

instructors."

Bright saw a "reluctance to
change" and said that persistence and dedication are required. "The failure and setbacks

we encounter should only inspire
our efforts," Bright commented.
Silber called for "fruitful interchange between faculty and
students" instead of demands for
impeachment of some college administrators.
"Changing personnel won't
rid that office (of administrator)
from the University," he said. He
called for a "maintaining of confidence" in the University instead.

The coroner said death was
due to an overdose of drugs and
tests would be needed to determine the type.
Police called for an autopsy
after saying they found needle
marks on one arm. The autopsy
surgeon reported numerous needle marks on both arms, with
fresh ones on the left arm.
There was a small amount

By GRAEME BROWNING

EDITOR'S NOTE: Graeme Browning is
a sophomore Arts and Sciences student
She is serving as a member of the Student Government Assembly.
At the risk of firing up some more of
the petty "politics" and factional hatreds
that some members of the Student Government find so entertaining, may I say
that I was greatly disappointed by Keith
Brubaker's attack on those in the Asvoted for Rona Roberts for
sembly wl
University Senate Student Senator. Such
an outburst, accompanied as it was by
highly questionable facts and faulty logic,
is an example of what defeated Ben
Fletcher in his bid for the position.
Mr.

I had originally intended to vote for
Fletcher. Even though I was im-

pressed by Miss Roberts' qualifications,
I felt that Student Government, if it is
ever to become what it should by all
rights be, a governing assembly representative of the whole student body, had
not only a duty but an obligation to elect
to the University Senate a student who
expressed a political opinion different from
that which seems to be held" by the majority of the University Senate Student
Senators now.
However, when the election was
brought up before the Assembly for voting,
there followed, courtesy of Mr. Fletcher's
supporters, such a squabbling, embeland emolished with tears, name-callintional rhetoric, as I have never had the
misfortune to see even in my
sister's kindergarten class. Student Government may indeed be a circus; I grant
that. But the University Senate, I am told,
or at least I hope, is not. The position
of Student Senator is far too important
to serve as merely an outlet for temper
tantrums.

1894

Mr. Brubaker also shows a considerable amount of emotion but a considerable lack of information when he accuses
"most members of ACT' of attempting to
railroad through "Steve Bright 's appointee." ACT does not take official stands
on issues in Student Government; it did
not take one on the election. If "most
members of ACT" supported Miss Roberts,
it resulted from individual decisions to
vote for Miss Roberts. ACT also does not
employ "tactics" in Student Covemment.
At least, if it does, nobody has ever told
me and I'm an ACT member.

discussion course, AS 300.
True to his belief that the student
is indeed an individual and should be
not only informed but also challenged
by his subject matter, Dr. Petrakis has
chosen some of the best international
films and he and his staff are attempting
to show the relevance of cinema to literature and life itself.
This course is truly a positive step
in the direction of enjoyable and meaningful learning and much credit should
be given to Dr. Petrakis, his staff, and
the University itself for giving this course
the chance it deserves.
The course may be offered for only two
semesters unless it is absorbed by a department and incorporated into its curriculum. With positive student support
this can be the beginning of a wonderful process of communication between
students, faculty, and those administrators who consider such courses for
their programs.
Thank you, Dr. Petrakis, for a good
thing.

YD's Crossen Decision:
A Step Toward Maturity

Perhaps the most significant results of the litigations of two members of the University community,
Dr. Phillip Crossen and James
Thomas Bell is that now the academic community has a clearer
conception of what it can expect
in the way of justice as measured
by the Fayette County courts. Recent actions by the UK Young
Democrats illustrate the fact that
the lesson has been driven home
well.

Last week the YDs unanimously
passed a resolution condemning
County Attorney E. Lawson King,
a Democrat backed by the YDs
in his election campaign, for "prostitution of Justice for his own

mended for transcending the strata
of blind acceptance of party members which has typified student
political organizations. Traditionally the young followers clubs have
devoted much time and effort to
campaigns merely because the
candidate happens to be endorsed
by The Party. Indeed, this was
the case with Mr. King, even when
it became obvious in his campaign
that King was out to "get UK," or
that element of UK which he disfavored.

The Young Democrats' change
of heart may exemplify the direction of a vastly changing student body at UK. At the very
least, it identifies a stage in the
maturation of a political organization which has too long languished in a perverted puberty of
imitation and acquiescence.

I certainly sympathize with Mr. Brubaker in his concern for the direction in
which Student Government seems to be
going. I too am very, very concerned.
But if we are going to respond to every
issue by dividing into factions and flying
into fits of emotional rage, we might as
well go spend what little money we have
on a set of swings and a sand box, for
a play yard is the only place for such
behavior. Student Government cannot
function on it.

Rumble in the Centers of the World

When the young men speak the old men tremble
And start to look for Devils.
Who turned against us the issue of our loins?
Could these be the sons we fathered,
Those docile infants just come from their cribs?
How dare they question us who made the world
With our own hands and hold it steady still!
When the young men march the old men lade
And call the police to man the walls.
"Kill the anarchists who duped our sons!
And if the young men die they are the killers.

We are their fathers no longer. We must
protect
Our world for them even if they hate it."

When the young men speak the old men tremble
And feel their solid world slide toward the sea.

The Young Men Answer
You gave us a woild and made us with strong hands.
Now let us carve on it as you did once.
Not every blow at the marble that you struck
Made the world better. Many a false stroke fell
Yet you carved on. Now let us try
The strength that you had once and the courage.
Trust us fathers, speak to us through trust.
No language now but the language of love.
You made us with strong hands; now let us carve!

Keeping a 'myopic? eye

Dispatch News Service
WASHINGTON -- The FIJI is
not waiting for more money or
congressional approval to investigate student unrest. Its agents
are already on campus.
The evidence indicates the
FBI, because of miscalculation
and its usually myopic view of
radicalism, is struggling desperately to catch up with developments in the student left. When
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover,
with support from President Nixon, asked for 1,000 new agents
for use in cases of campus violence, the back to school movement among the feds had already
begun.
In the last six months the FBI
has quietly created new "new
left desks" in its offices throughout the country, concentrating
in areas which have nearby activist campuses. Last spring a
special contingent of FBI agents
infiltrated Yale, before and during the May Day demonstrations
on behalf of a student strike and
Black Panther leaders then coming to trial in New Haven.

And at virtually every march
(including the Vietnam Moratorium's candlelight procession past
the White House last fall), FBI
