PAGE FOUR Ed itor Lai Opinion We Repeat- Move Johnson's Speech With the hour of Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson’s address fast approaching, the time has come for a decision on the location of the speech. We urge’that this address be rescheduled for Recreation Hall so that more of the student body may hear the Vice; President of the United States than can be accommodated in Schwjab Auditorium. Yesterday the responsibility for making this decision was passed back and forth between administrators and students. We urge that some one person, be it President Walker, Dean MacKenzie of the College'of Business Administra tion or Robert Barraclough, student chairman of the Career Day committee, accept Ithis responsibility after heavily considering student interest in Johnson’s speech. Several inconveniences resulting from such a change In plans have been used as reasons for hot making the change. > - We are convinced they can be overcome. Time has become an important factor, but Rec Hall officials have assured us that • the building would be available if a decision were reached before noon Monday. The Career Day committee has pointed out that not enough tickets have been printed for Rec HalL We cannot conceive pf this as a problem and suggest that the com mittee could follow the procedure planned for Schwab— admitting person* holding tickets until' 4:00 and then opening the doors for students without tickets. Security measures are being directed from Washing ton,, but Col. William G. Pelton, head of the University Department of Security, has said that all security measures would be taken to protect the vice president. Although University television operations could not be carried out In Rec Hall, we feel that the,.increased seating capacity would eliminate the need for televising the program in the University area. The Undergraduate Student Government showed a strong representative student: interest Jn moving jthe address to Rec Hall when they approved,! without dissent, a proposal to back the switch»financially. Students of the University showed jtheir interest in hearing the address yesterday.as they converged upon the desk where tickets were being distributed only to find that the 400 tickets available Had been distributed,in the first three hours. c . | Considering the educational value of, Johnson’s address, the student interest shown and the possibility of overcoming physical problems, we urge that someone accept this responsibility’ and relocate the address. , A Student-Operated Newspaper I 57 Years of Editorial Freedom Gtyp Hath} (EnUrman Successor to The Free Lance, est. 18*7 Pabllahad fondey thr.sik Saturday morainy daring ttt, rinlrereity year.

He can address them from Washington, Allowing it to be broadcast is a concession to the television station' and should not interfere with the primary consideration. ; Mr. Barraclough & Co.’s main argument, then, hinges on the fear that Rec Hall won’t be filled, which 'they apparently think would be regarded as an affront by the vice president Do they consider Schwab a compliment? How many'universities would, schedule a speech by the sec- ond highest executive of the United States government .in anj auditorium with a capacity of'less than one-tenth of the strident body?
