Walker Says Student Rights Issue
Merits Concern, Not Alarm
By RICHARD SPAGNOLLI
President Eric A. Walker yesterday apolo
gized to members of the University faculty
during a public address for unpleasant rami
fications following his remarks last month on
the Berkeley situation.
Referring to his comments made before
the Greater Philadelphia Club, Walker said,
"Let me say that if any newspaper reports of
comments I am alleged to have made in con
nection with this subject have offended any
of you, I am truly sorry.
"Perhaps I let an unbridled sense of hu
mor run away with me. If I have damaged
your reputation, or the reputation of the pro
fession, let me at least say it was not my in
tent to do so. I am sorry, and I offer you my
most sincere apologies."
The President also touched broadly on is
sues of student rights, specifically mentioning
the issues of student government, Froth, and
solicitation of funds.
Student Rights
Commenting on student rights, Walker
said, "One of the current problems that seems
to be facing colleges and universities through
out the nation, is the problem of increased
tensions between students and administration
and between students and faculty on all col
lege campuses—the so-called question of 'stu
dent rights.' "
The President believed that the problem

King To Speak On Future of Integration
By CAROL POSTHUMUS
Tonight's address by the

tion officials said yesterday
afternoon. Scheduled for 8:30
p.m., the speech will concern
the topic "The Future of Inte
gration."
WDFM will broadcast
King's speech tonight. The
program will begin at 8:25.
King spent the beginning of
this week leading a drive for
Negro voter registration and
integration of hotels and res
taurants in Selma, Ala.
The 1964 Nobel Peace Prize
winner was described to The
Daily Collegian by one of his
former professors as "the per
fect example of the right man
in the right
,place at the right
time."
G. Lewis Chandler, profes
sor of English at Morehouse
College (Atlanta, Ga.), said
when King studied under him
he was "a good student with
above average, but not su
perior, grades; conscientious,
with strong convictions."
Chandler said King "never
argued, and was well -respect
ed by other students for his

SELMA, Ala. (AP) Negroes
pressing for the right to vote
were allowed to use one of the
two main entrances to the coun
ty 'courthouse yesterday, but
insisted on using the other and
about 160 of them went to jail.
Sheriff James G. Clark, who
earlier told the Negroes they
must enter the building through
an alley, relented when another
group appeared and told them
they could use the front en

The Negroes objected to being

merited concern, but also believed nothing
existed in the situation to cause alarm.
"One aspect of our changing social pat
terns that in my opinion tends to offset the
more negative side of the picture is the fact
that our students today are generally more
mature than the students of 30 years ago,"
Walker explained. "It is natural that they
would want to have more to say about their
own government and indeed about the con
duct of the University."
Explaining further, Walker said the trees
mendous growth of the student body, and the
added pressures of their academic work, and
the many outlets for their energies have brought
difficulties in maintaining communications.
Communication Channels
"It seems to me that here, as in faculty
administration matters, our primary concern
should be to develop and maintain easier chan
nels of communication. We have a student gov
ernment and should recognize it. We should
make every effort to keep the channels of com
munication open between the student govern
ment and the faculty by means of appropriate
Senate committees, and between the student
government and the administration through
the appropriate administrative offices.
"If Froth has been a problem," Walker
said, "the real difficulty has not been a mat
ter of freedom, but a matter of coupling re
sponsibility for what is said to the authority
to say it. In this case, I think the problem is
about to be solved."
of King's entrance into the
field of civil rights work
Chandler said "after King
went on from Morehouse to
theological seminary and re
turned home to Atlanta, he
was not (and still isn't) con
sidered strong in his church'
work."
Chandler cited two reasons:
"one because the other minis
ters and laymen all considered,
him too secular too inter- 1
ested in politics instead of re-1
ligious and spiritual matters;
the other because Atlanta had

Johnson Takes Oath of Office
In Tradition-Tinged Ceremony
WASHINGTON (I?) Lyn
don Baines Johnson took the
inaugural oath of the presi
dency yesterday with tradi
tion-tinged ceremony and a
ringing promise to lead his
countrymen to a destiny of jus
tice, liberty and union.
And before this generation
ends, Johnson promised, it will
see the conquest of poverty,
hunger, ignorance and dis
crimination.
"So," Johnson said in a 23-
minute inaugural address, "let
us reject any among us who
seek to reopen old wounds and
rekindle old hatreds. They
stand in the way of a seek
ing nation."
Standing under a hazy sun
on a chilly day, in a ceremony
as timeless as the nation yet
somehow as new as a dawn
ing day, Johnson uttered the
35 words of the presidential
oath at 12:30 p.m. from the in
augural platform beneath the
towering gray dome of the
United States Capitol.
It was a moment of solem
nity and glowing sentiment.

Johnson stood beside her hus

Originally, an official of the
inauguration committee had
been tapped to hold the Bible.
But Lyndon B. Johnson is a
sentimental man. •
He showed it, too, at the end
of his inaugural address with
a renewed assurance to fel
low Americans and all man
kind that he will lead and he
will do his best.
Tragedy
His mind went back to the
November day in 1963 when he
took the presidential oath at
a time of tragedy.
"To trusted public servants,
to families and close friends
of mine who have followed
me down a long, winding road,
and to all the people of the
Union and the world," John
son said, "I will repeat: today

Among examples of his

the old promises and the old
dream. They will lead you
best of all."
The presidential oath was
administered for the 45th time
in history.
Johnson said it was a mo
ment of majesty and meaning,
because the oath he had taken
before his fellow Americans
and before God "is not mine
alone, but ours together. We
are one nation and one peo
ple. Our fate and our future
rest not upon one citizen but
upon all citizens."
Dominion
And in broad generalities,
Johnson spoke beyond the
seas to other peoples to tell
them that: "We aspire to noth
ing that belongs to others. We
seek no dominion over our
fellow man, but man's domin
ion over - tyranny and misery."
The forefathers .of this na
tion, the President said, came
here from other lands as exiles
and strangers to make a cove
nant -"Conceived in justice,
written in liberty, bound in
union."
"It binds us still," he said.
"And if we keep its terms we
shall flourish."
Walker Voices Opposition
To More State Institutions
By TIM SHAFFER
Without mentioning Temple University by
name, President Eric A. Walker yesterday re
vealed his apparent opposition to the institu
tion's plan to become the state university of
Eastern Pennsylvania.
Walker said Penn State will press for ad
ditional Commonwealth campuses in the Phila
delphia and Pittsburgh areas, as well as three
other campuses in Western Pennsylvania. The
President's announcement was also an apparent
rejection of a plan announced Tuesday by
private education research organizations to ask
the state not to approve any more centers for
Penn State until a master plan 'for community
colleges is completed.
On Temple, Walker said, "There are those
who will say X will take care of the metro
politian east, and Y will take care of the west
and you (Penn State) take what is left."
Pechan Proposal
"X" was an obvious referral to Temple,
while "Y" probably meant Indiana State Col
lege, which Sen. Albert Pechan (R.-Cambria
County) has proposed become a state univer
sity for the western portion of the state.
The President said, "Unless we are will
ing to make our services available to all Penn
sylvania, we are likely to find ourselves re
garded as the State University of Centre
County."
"There are people," he continued, "prom
inent in education who would drive the state
into three areas—the east, the west, and the
center portion—and who believe that the state's

matter of strengthening and expanding our Com
monwealth campus system," •since 25,000 stu
dents will be the maximum number that Uni
versity Park can accommodate. This number
will be reached by 1970.
To accommodate this increase, Walker said
that the University has lately made requests
to the General State Authority for $75 million
in design and construction funds for 44 build
ings to be added to this campus during the
next five years.
The development of the Commonwealth
campuses has "over the years been generally
a successful venture," he pointed out, with the
associate degree programs having been
. , hailed throughout the country as among
the most outstanding and successful educa
tional efforts conducted anywhere."
Walker, referring to "a statement of gen
eral policy" of the Board of Trustees, said
that the University "has no desire to expand
its facilities merely for the sake of its own
aggrandizement," nor intrude anywhere in the
state where present facilities for higher edu
cation are adequate.
