Student Strike Called
After Night Protests,
Arrests At Berkeley
Special To The Kernel

BERKELEY, Calif. -U- niversity
of California students at a
mass meeting Wednesday night
voted for a classroom strike beginning at noon today after the
administration summoned police
during a sit-i- n protesting unauthorized Naval recruiting booths
on campus.
The Council of Campus Organizations, latest successor to
the Free Speech Movement of

organized the meeting attended by some 3,000 of the
school's 27,500 students.
s
The protest stems from
and demonstrations on campus Wednesday after students
demanded reand
moval of a Naval recruiting table
in the student union building.
University regulations permit
organizations to set up
tables only at designated places
on campus, and the student
union building was not one of
them.
However, the administration
refused to have the table removed, saying government agencies and organizations are exempted from the rule. A request
r
that an
group be allowed to have a table at the
same site was also refused.
According to the Daily
University student newspaper, Executive Vice Chancellor
Earl F. Cheit called police and
asked a judge for arrest warrants against seven

Between 300 and 400 students
gathered in the street in an unsuccessful effort to stop the police bus carrying the arrested

reported skirmishes between students and police in the street.
The CCO, at a press conference today, charged the administration with "violating the

the administration

again revealed its 'solution' for
student problems: the Alameda

It laid down five demands:
1. That policemen never be

campus political problems.
2. That there be no disciplinary action taken against participants in Wednesday's demonstrations, and that the administration see, publicly and
to drop the charges against
the nine people arrested.
indi3. That all

groups be granted at least the

privileges enjoyed by governmen-

tal agencies.
4. That disciplinary hearings
be open, and that these hearings be bound by cannons of
due process comparable to those
already published by the Council of Campus Organizations. A
legitimate ground of defense shall
be that regulations are incompatible with Section Two or
Three of the Dec. 8 resolution
of the United States Constitution.
That resolution, passed by
the Academic Senate, said only
the time, place and manner of
student political activity should
be regulated.

5. That negotiations will establish a system of just and
effective student representation
in formulation of a new set of
policies regulating student activity; the "strike committee" must
be permitted to name a majority of representatives and the
negotiating body shall make no
decision without agreement of
student constituents.
The Associated Students at
the University of California
(ASUC) voted to support the

strike.

The strike and demonstrations are the first major protests at Berkeley involving the
use of police since the Free
Speech

Movement

in

1964-6-

5,

when the university became the
rallying cry for student activists
across the nation.
The Free Speech protest resulted indirectly in the appointment of Roger W. Heyns, a former vice president for academic
affairs at the University of Michigan, as chancellor of the Berkeley campus last fall.
Heyns was thought to be a
friend of the students but last
spring he suspended and placed
on probation a number of students who violated the university's regulations about the place
and frequency of political activity.

Some of the regulations put
into effect under Heyns administration have not been favorably
received but there had been reports that Berkeley students were
tired and no more protests were
expected.
Only last month, CCO leader
Mike Lerner said the groups in
his organization were occupied
with activities off campus and
"do not desire a confrontation
with the University."

LBJ Gets Dark Education Report

(c) New York Time

Service

Johnson reAUSTIN, Texas-Presid- ent
a generally gloomy report
ceived Wednesday
on the first efforts to reach poor children
through federal education funds.
The "crucial ingredient" in improving
education of the disadvantaged, the report
said, is changing "the attitude of teachers."
Yet in most communities studied the special
projects for the poor "were alarmingly deficient in facing up to this need," it said.
The report was made to the President
by the National Advisory Council on the
Education of Disadvantaged Children, created in 1965 by the legislation providing the
first Federal Aid for Elementary and Secondary Education.
The council report concent rat ed on the
$250 million, one quarter of the total, spent
this year on special summer education projects for disadvantaged children.
It found much to commend in some of
the 86 school districts studies, but concluded: "for the most part, projects are
piecemeal, fragmented efforts at remediation or vaguely directed enrichment. It is

extremely rare to find strategically planned,
comprehensive programs for change.
It found "most disappointing" the failure
of schools "to identify and attract the most
seriously disadvantaged children" to the
special programs. It also concluded that
"frequently, heavy purchases of educational
equipment are made without examining the

educational practices that underlie their
use."
The report was based on the personal
observations of 27 consultants. They found
that most of the summer programs "took
place in ordinary schoolhouse classrooms
and were, at best, mild variations on ordinary classroom work." In a "very few"
instances, the report said, "teachers established an entirely new relationship with
children when their summer programs were
taken out of the schoolhouse."
These wete some examples of what the
consultants reported:
From a Southern city: "the program was
an uncreative and unimaginative as I have
ever seen. Pupils dropped out in large nunh
bers. Several teachers indicated they felt

that any kind of help which might be
offered would not significantly change most
of these kids. The head of guidance and
counseling told me that he was reasonaly
certain that most of the cause of people
being in the deprived category was biological, a result of poor genetic endowment.
Another central office administrator referred
to the futility of helping those 'Jigs'."
From a small New England town: "the
young male teacher, conducting an arithmetic lesson, was extremely tense and distant from the children. He behaved like the
stereotype of an English schoolmaster."

The factor that most distinguished successful from unsuccessful programs, the report said, "was the difference in the quality
of the relationship the rapport between
teacher and child."

Despite their failings, the summer programs "besides being iinpoitant in themselves, can have special beneficial effects
on the year-rounsuccess of the (federal
education aid) piograms which can be attained in no other way," the report said.

Drama: 'Menagerie' Subordinated
By WAYNE DO SWELL
"The play Is memory. Iking
a memory play it is dimly lighted,
it is sentimental, it is not realistic. In memory everything hap-

pens to music."
Tom, as narrator of Tennessee Williams' most popular play,

"The Class Menagerie," provides this format to this unusu-sua- l
play. Although this play
is well acted and staged by the
Theater Arts Department company, the important value centers in the questionable depth
to which this play reaches and
in the interpretation the present
production makes.
In this production the play
is too sentimental and too
Certainly, Williams 'objectives are as stated by the
narrator, but the play in cenaround Amanda, the
tering
mother, becomes more than anything else a story of a misplaced
family composed of two weak,
non-realisti- c.

psychologically defective children, whose lives arc dominated
by a strong, possessive mother.
Her own defects are all too
visible. Each is too fragile to
overcome his weakness without
being broken and destroyed in
the process.
Tom, who begins the play
as narrator, steps into his role
as the son of the possessive
mother, whose purpose in life
is to push her children into "success and happiness." But in
Tom's memory this goal was
recalled in his mother's preoccupation with her own life, which
in her memory was so successful in youth, but now was such
a dismal failure, and her persistant attempts to push his shy,
crippled sister into an unwanted
world.
Laura's world is almost shattered by Jim, the gentleman call-e- r,
who unknowingly was once
Laura's single touch with love
and life.
As Amanda,
guest artist

Patricia Carmichael plays an intense characterization that is cer- -

War Art
Display

tainly difficult to maintain in the
wide range of affectations the
play demands. Her pcrfessiona-lisand long experience are well
u
especially when the tension is greatest, or when the
tension is leveled in several of the

sl,

humerous scenes.
Several of the most dynamic
scenes occur in exchanges between Mrs. Carmichael and her
son, played by David Hurt. Mr.
Hurt has double task to fulfill,

that of narration and character.
The latter role he performs quite
well. However, as narrator, one
sees a too distant and too frigid
figure, instead of concern, one
sees disregard for the action that
is taking place.
If this were intended, then
certainly Williams would not
have made him the bearer of
this painful memory.
Elizabeth Hoagland, Amanda's daughter, both plays her
part convincingly and gives to
this character the most accurate
reading of William's play.
Throughout, she is the shy,

play, then "The Class Menagerie" is worth the time to
see. But if one wishes only to
escape in his entertainment, then
this production is better left
alone.

ELIZABETH HOAGLAND AND DAVID HURT IN 'MENAGERIE'

genJim, the Irish
tleman caller, provides both in
appearance and action a vivid
contrast to the unreality and
dimness of Tom's memory. Jim
Stacey plays this role certainly
with the sincerity and liveliness
it demands. His character rightly seems in conflict with the
tenuous action of the play.
As a whole few productions
have demanded so much, yet
received the appropriate effort
that this play has been given.
But, while the play is well executed, it has questionable value,
and the overall interpretation
that was given by director
Charles Dickens leaves an impression of uneasiness.
The play accomplishes little,
if anything. Williams wrote the
play to revolve around the glass
menagerie that is Laura's retreat.
Her favorite among these small
glass animals is an unicorn, an
extinct species of horse that had
a horn on its forehead. Like
Laura he is different, and like
Laura he does not mind being

given away, however. This symbolic optimism is to vanish, just
as Jim shatters the hope Laura
is building on him.
Unfortunately, even this symbolic objective is subordinated
in Dickens's direction of the
play. The glass menagerie is
given its own small corner on
the stage, and its true proportions are never realized. The
entire play is directed to Mrs.
Carmichael and Amanda. The
possessive and sometimes too
cleverly funny Amanda takes

Explaining that the only generality to be made about most
programs is that they are "run
by college students for public
school students," he said that
these programs are "topped every
educational institution and every
type of person or group." According to him, those involved offer everything from homework
help to cultural programs.
He said the tutorial idea began
two or three years ago as a voluntary organization in the Southern civil rights movement. Presently, he continued, "there is a
need for funds, facilities and staff
because of the excessive and unexpected rate of growth."

"just be there and show an in-

In his opinion a child is
more interested in understanding "how many candy bars he
can buy with a quarter he doesn't
have" than learning the straight
multiplication tables or reading
the same book he has had for
the last two years.
Isgar told the tutors that standard approaches are not always
the best because "there are occasions when the tried and true
are not sufficient." He said, "initially there must be some kind
of testing period or trial and error
experimenting." He also suggested that tutors have some idea
of what they hope to accomplish
each day before they see a child.

From Combined Dispatches

WASHINGTON
The Defense Department announced this week
that it will lower the mental standards for draftees and that 2.4
million men will be rescreened because of it.
This is the third change in eight months and is designed to
draw in the second half of 40,000 men who would otherwise be
rejected because of
standards, Secretary of Defense
McNamara said.
The Defense Department is shooting for 100,000 men in this
classification next year including men with physical defects which
can be cured in six weeks of training, he said.
Men will qualify for service if they reach a score of 10 which
is equivalent of a fifth grade education. Before the last change
in regulations the average high school graduates had to score
16 on the armed forces military qualifications test.
The requirements are still higher than the guidelines used
during the Korean War. At that time men were accepted with
a score of 10 regardless of educational background. Now an in5
dividual must score
with an aptitude in two specialties or
0
with an aptitude in one military specialty.
The new policy will go into effect this week according to the
Defense Department but it was not indicated when the rescreening
would begin.

Responsibility In Research
The American Anthropological
Association at its annual meeting
recently agreed to elaborate a set
of "ethical guidelines" for scholars
who work on government contracts.
Such guidelines deserve careful
scrutiny by scholars and university research officials in view of
the increasing involvement of the
federal government in research and
development coupled with the
earlier unprecedented action at
the University of Pennsylvania.
The anthropologists are expected to recommend that, except in
the case of war, academic institutions should not undertake research projects that are subject to
security restrictions. University of
Pennsylvania officials announced
earlier that they would no longer
accept classified, or secret, research
from the government.
One of the specific recommendations which was reportedly widely
approved by the anthropologists
said that academic institutions
"should not undertake activities
or accept contracts in the social
sciences which are not related to
their normal functions of teaching,
research, or public service." In
case of a national emergency, however, they would allow scientists
to engage in secret defense work
under the proposed guidelines.
It is encouraging that the leading scholars in a specific field
the
have chosen to
"ethics" of restricted research.
Others would perhaps do well to
follow their example.
The
recomanthropologists
mended the action to protect the
"independence and integrity" of
anthropology. We see even higher

obligations.
We have long contended that
the primary responsibility of an
institution of higher learning is to
its students. We have concluded,

therefore, that the primary function of a university is to acquire
new knowledge through research
and to disseminate that newly acquired knowledge through the classroom and through publication.
When students enter a university, they should be able to assume
that acquistion of newly acquired
knowledge is their birthright. It
is a question of ethics, therefore,
not only for anthropologists, but
for the university community as a
whole.
We would thus encourage lead?
ers in every discipline to

research practices in their fields.
In doing so, these scholars should
bear in mind one question: Are

Does that indicate a man who is
not devoted to the party of Jefferson and Jackson, a man who
will allow factionalism to destroy
the Democratic Party in Kentucky?
John Breckinridge is independent of the factionalism which
exists within the Democratic Party
and seeks to end its internal strife,
not be independent of the party.
He was horrified at a newspaper
article saying he had renounced

I would like to quote George

V. Triplett of Owensboro, who

Appearances to the mind are of
four kinds. Things either are what
they appear to be; or they neither
are; nor appear to be; or they
are, and do not appear to be; or

"Americanization" which diminishes their desire to return home.
A possible way of dealing with

this problem is by making it relatively inexpensive for foreign students to visit their countries occasionally so that they may keep
in contact with their people. This
could reinforce their desire to return home after finishing their education.
It would be a wonderful and
highly appreciated gesture on the

could establish low rates for foreign students so that they, too,
may spend a Christmas or perhaps
a summer with their families and
