'Except As It Lives In You,

By DANA EWELL
Assistant Managing Editor
Student rights has become a
popular phrase in recent years,
especially in such faculty circles
as the University Senate. And
so a committee of the senate,
the Student Affairs Committee,
has been working for the past
year to draw up a student bill
of rights.
Dr. Michael Adelstein of the
English Department, chairman
of the committee, looks upon
the bill of rights as a supplement to the Student Code.
"The code deals with the student's rights in the area of discipline. It sets down the responsibilities of the student to
the University, while the bill of
rights will set down the University's responsibility to the student.
'The bill we are working on
will set down responsibilities of
the University to students in
four areas:
Rights of admission and
access.
Rights in the classroom.
Right of the student to privacy.
Right to learn."
Dr. Adelstein said the original draft of the bill of rights
was circulated , among faculty
members last spring to give
them a chance to propose
changes in it.
"At present, we are revising
the bill with regard to these
criticisms," Dr. Adelstein said.
"We hope to send the revised
bill to Student Government and
the faculty simultaneously so
that we may have as much discussion as possible before we
submit it for formal approval of
the University Senate."
Doubts It Will Pass Senate
Dr. Adelstein expressed serious doubts about passage of the
bill.
"We have many highly controversial ideas here," he said,
glancing over the several page
document. "The big question is
whether it will be accepted. It
is doubtful that some of the
particulars will gain approval.
Action on the bill may also be
delayed until our new president
is on campus."
Dr. Adelstein hopes to cir

culate the revised bill early in
the spring semester. Since the
completed bill has not yet been
circulated, Dr. Adelstein hesitated to explain the document in
detail. However, he did say
that one of its major points was
the creation of a faculty ombudsman
to implement
the
rights of students.

"We need to establish an
ombudsman, who is a highly
respected member of the faculty to deal with student-facult- y
problems in a quiet and dignified manner. There is no other
way to handle these problems
since administrative interference
is generally resented by the

Some idea of the scale of the
entire undertaking can he gained from the fact that the set

itself larger than our Guignol

The result of all this magnificence is added pressure on
the mortals who are, after all,
the ones who make the plays.
If the opportunities are the
greater, the more glaring, by
the same token, are the pitfalls.
A fair range of such pitfalls
has already been demonstrated.
Until the last one, not a single
production in the new house
has come to life. Indeed I had
begun to suspect that in its
openness and clarity of visibility the new theater had conferred gifts in too great a measure upon the players.
With the recently presented
"Comedy of Errors,' however,
David Hooks, one of the resident directors, showed signs of
coming to terms with this
abundance.
In addition, the
standard of acting was markedly improved.
In the area of repertoire,
there are also indications that
new ground may be broken.

4Issue Not One To Sweep Under Rug'

Stanford Studies Ties With Military Research
By

miLSEMAS

College Press Service
Calif.-Stanf- ord
STANFORD,
University may be moving
toward a change in its relationship with the Stanford Research
Institute (SRI), which is known
to do military research.
President
Acting Stanford
Robert J. C laser has set up a committee of five faculty members,
five students, and two administrators to study Stanford's relationship with SRI. The Institute
it
is an independent,
or
non-prof-

ganization affiliated with the
University.
Claser announced his plans
for the study at an unusual appearance before the student legislature. He said the relationship "is one of concern to many
members of the faculty and student body." But he added, "The
issues are complex, with many
ramifications, and are not the
kind that can be resolved over-

night."

Earlier, in an interview with

the Stanford Daily, Claser said

the relationship "is a legitimate
issue to examine not one to
sweep under the rug and say
it doesn't exist."
He said the incoming Stanford president, Kenneth Pitzer,
supports the study. SRI Executive Vice President Weldon Gibson said the Institute would "cooperate fully" with the study,
which is supposed to be completed by April 15.
C laser's announcement came
shortly after the Stanford chapter of Students for a Democratic

Extremist students in more
than 50 Japanese universities
have been on a rampage for
months. They have beaten professors, locked in school presidents, battled police and inflicted millions of dollars in damage.
They recently observed International Antiwar Day by staging a small war of their own.
In Tokyo, they wrecked the
busy Shinjuku rail hub, smashing windows, setting fire to
buses and buildings, ripping
out train signals, tearing up
track ties.

bothered organizing them politically.
The Antiwar Day demonstrators were led by Zengakuren extremists who oppose the Viet

nam war, want U.S. forces to
get out of Japan, and regard
Prime Minister Eisaku Sato's
Liberal Democratic government
as reactionary.
They get little public support
and almost none from more
moderate but less vocal students
who are a majority of Japan's
1.5 million undergraduates.
Most of Japan's student malcontents are aroused by problems closer to home.
Some want to be consulted on
the elections of university presidents; others insist on running
student association buildings,
still others demand "democrat-zation- "
of the university administration.
There is also a general student feeling that somehow they
are not getting what they should
out of a university career.
Classes are too large; professors, though frequently incompetent, cannot be removed; and
tuition is rising annually.
Bigness and maladministrationwere the sparks that touched off the flames at the privNihon Daigaku, a
ately-run
superuniversity with 80,000 students.
Student movements long had
been banned on campus. But
when on April 15 the Tokyo tax

administration disclosed that it
had spent 2 billion yen
1963 and 1967 in
secret extra payments to directors and professors, the students
exploded.
Why, they asked, hadn't
something been done to improve
their own classroom conditions?

Society had demanded that the
University, SRI, and "all members of the University community
immediately halt all militaryand
economic projects and operations
concerned with Southeast Asia."
SDS nailed its demands to
the door of the Board of Trustees
office. It also demanded that all
contracts, classified and unclassified, be made public, including
the value of the contract and
individuals performing the work;
that Stanford and SRI trustees
make public all their corporate
and government connections; and
that Stanford faculty also make
public their corporate and government connections.
Claser claimed his decision
to call for the study had nothing
to do with SDS's demands.
Little Support
SDS seems to have little support among the student body.
A rally they held to support the
demands drew only about 200
of Stanford's 11,300 students. And
a Stanford Daily poll, based on
a computer-selecte- d
sample of
123 students, showed only 23.5
percent of the student body support the SDS demands, 66 percent oppose them and 10.5 per-deare undecided.
- Stanford
student body president Denis Hayes would also
like to see some changes in campus war research. At a meeting
held shortly after Claser announced his study, Hayes asked
the Board of Trustees to use
their influence to get SRI to refuse to accept new research contracts involving chemical, biology
warical, or
fare research until the study is
completed.
In making its demands, SDS
charged that SRI does chemical

"War Research"
In a study published last December, Viet Report magazine
documented some of the war
research being done at SRI.
SRI has denied only that it
is studying bombing sites in
North Vietnam. Rudolf Bruns-vol- d,
SRI's vice president of plansays, "As
ning and
an institution we don't take a
view on the lightness or wrong-nes- s
of the established governcounter-insurgenc-

ment."

About half of SRI's projects
are initiated from within the Institute, which has a research staff
of 1,836. The other half are taken
on' contract from government
agencies or corporations. Any researcher may decline to work
on a certain project, according
to SRI officials.
SRI is presently conducting
about 700 research projects worth
about $65 million. About 73 percent of its support comes from
federal, state, and local government, the other 27 percent from
private clients. About one-thir-d
of its projects are classified. Vice
President Cibson said "a handful" are so secret that even their
existence cannot be revealed.
About 50 Stanford professors
serve as consultants on various
SRI projects and almost 20 SRI
staff members lecture and teach
at the University.

Progress

Student Government has made
a progressive move in its advocacy
of strengthened pass-fa- il
grading
procedures at UK. Such measures
as SG proposes would, if adopted,
place the University in a position
of leadership in American higher
education.
The proposed Student Government plan is clearly superior to the
plan recently adopted by the University Senate, for it allows greater
freedom for students in choosing
their pass-fa- il
subjects and further,
makes more courses pass-fai- l.
Such
conditions can only be beneficial
to both students and faculty by
removing the unwarranted pressures of grades from intellectual

attainment.
It would be clearly advisable,
then, for the University Senate to
look into the Student Government
plans and to adopt them as soon
as possible. By doing so, the Senate
would clearly demonstrate that progress has not stopped at the University and that new ideas are welcome and wanted.

Moreover, the adoption of broader pass-fa- il
and other new, exciting
would have another effect
programs
beyond the benefit of the immediate program. Clearly, when former
University President John Oswald
spoke of moving UK into the select
group of top schools in this country,
there was an unspoken implicaton
that UK was not yet a top school.
And, although great strides have
been taken, this is probably still
true.
To make UK a top school will
require the attraction of more students and faculty of high calibre,
and to do this the University must
implement new and exciting prois, ofj
grams. Broadened pass-fa- il
not the whole answer to a
course,
better, more exciting University,
but it is at least a start.
The initiative in this direction
has been taken by students, who
have clearly shown that what they
want is a better school. The burden
is now on the University Senate,
to show exactly what it wants
for better education at UK.

Pettiness

Two Student Government resolutions were opposed at last week's
SG meeting, partly because they
included the party name "SAR"
in their title. The actions of both
sides in the dispute are reminiscent
of the pettiness that hampered SG
last year but which has been noticeably absent on many occasions this
year.
Members of SAR, and other
factions within SG as well must
be willing to sacrifice their personal identity for that of the larger
organization, if they are to best
serve the interests of the University. The ch
