WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1965 Student Turmoil By KATHY CASE Collegian News Editor Some of the familiar laces were gone, (he soapbox was temporarily shelved, but the beat of discussion had not diminished—everyonp was going to a picket. Turning their protests in to the na tional scene, members of SENSE, for Peace, and the Socialist Club staged the mightiest demonstra tion of them all when four students burned selective service identifica tion in a fiery illustration of their opmsition In U.S. policy in Viet Nam. Spoak-inS offered an opportunity for everyone to gel into the act. The socialist club brought former Haver ford College student Bussell Steller back to Hie University. Stetler had raised a furor of objections when he showed a Viet Cong-produced him on campus last spring. His arrival was greeted with less noise this term with only a few assorted pickctei's voicing objections. Taylor Speech Not so, Gen. Maxwell Taylor. Taylor's speech on the Viet Nam issue was accompanied with cheers from the Young Americans for Free dom and protests from SENSE', and the Socialist Club, lt was '‘Treason” versus “Rea. son” when members of YAF dis 'Conscience' Explains Viet Policy-- (Continued from page one) wants nothing 10.-s than the complete humiliation of the Untied States. Tints our withdrawal will completely fulfill Chinese aims, Aspaturian said. Complete Humiliation Those who urge the bombing of Hanoi are making a similar mistake, he continued, for “to bomb Hanoi in effect would be a signal to the communists that we are no longer interested in a settlement. Hanoi is not a very extensively built-up area. It would not take many bombs to destroy the Noth Viet Namese state entirely.” Continuing, he said, “On the hand, if North Viet Nam’s response, instead of having a willingness to negotiate, is to escalate the war—-that is, send more troops to the South— then the United States may feel the North Vietnamese have themselves decided a settlement is not desired and a full scale war between the United States and North Viet Nam is liable to develop. Again it depends on Hanoi's response and not wholly on what the United States does to the area." Vickery Presents Military View The situation from the military standpoint was presented by Lt. Col. Chester Vickery, from the Department of Defense Information at the Pentagon in Washington, D. C. After a brief sketch of the deployment of independent U. S. forces, he stressed the fact that these American troops are assisting over 600,000 South Vietnamese who are mobiliz ed against the Viet Cong. ‘‘These troops,” he said, “are deeply committed and face staggering losses. We are in Viet Nam to hold back he aggressor in order that the political and mor al aspirations of the people may be tafeguarded.” He added that a primary objective was a period of peace and stability for South Viet Nam, so that the government that the people really want—even if it be Communistic—can form without fear of outside intervention. Standing on the very edge of the platform and occasion ally jabbing his finger at the audience to make a point, Jan S, Prybyla, associate professor of economics, said dispassion ately, “In Poland during World War II and, at the age of 13, I saw, I think, more blood per square inch than any of you. except perhaps Col. Vick»rv. Those of your who are for peace, and despise to see people killed or tortured—l am with you. But I part with you at one point; when you can throw up your hands and say ‘Peace!’ at the cost of some thing other than bloodshed? What kind of opponent are we facing, not only in Viet Nam, but throughout Southeast Asia?” Not a Cohesive Body He declared that the National Liberation Front is not a cohesive body, and thus cannot be negotiated with because it is divided. But the NFF, he said, is mainly under Peking domination through Ho Chi Minh. Thus, he went on, for the North Viet Namese attitude toward war’ we may look to the writings of Mao Tse-Tung. There, the finest language with the deepest feeling is reserved to describe "the just war of libration or revolution, the progressive war.” Mao flatly states that “political power rises from the barrel of a gun”—that war tempers a people Five O'clock Theatre Plans for Five O'Clock The- “Five O'Clock productions,” Slid ' w^’ in ßn^i P M arSOn . added ' ” hav * been * Plans to produce Carlisle | Tr.vonts will be conducted by notwced todav bv John Pearson,I™* 1 ™* con,imle to 1 36 Presented in Floyd's musical drama “Susan- 1 Robert Turoff, who will be pro-' one of the managers for the pop- an experimental atmosphere, nah” have been announced joint-1 fessional guest director for ular program. l free from ( ” e demands of a pay- ly by the department of theatre!

And the Ad Hoc Committee on Student Freedom spoke against the apartment ruling, the balanced pro gram, and student rights and respon sibilities. Down in Harrisburg, legislators tossed the appropriations issue back and forth until somebody decided to come up to the University and see what it was al! about. They came, they saw. they passed the bill—and with it the buck—as out-of-state tui tion was raised to $450 a term. Additional fuel was added to the protest fire when the State Senate passed a resolution banning com munist speakers from State support ed schools. USG Actions Meanwhile, back at the HUB, the Undergraduale Student Government was busy investigating and en dorsing. Among the issues endorsed and raises a revolutionary spirit, Prybyla said. Prybyla emphasized ihe point that “to the Chinese, im perialists are not 'they'—imperialists are you and I, as well as the left and the right ring and the middle,” “Peace, for Mao,” he pointed out,” is not permanent until the advent of communism. Peace is an opportunity to consoli date the position gained.” He added that it is also a time in which reforms granted during ihe period of revolution— reforms such as higher wages, land, shorter work hours— will be repealed. “Socio-economic reforms, to the Chinese, are tactical maneuvers.” Aliernalive Offered In conclusion, he said, “What is the alternative to the horrors of war? We may see this alternative in the 60 years of human engineering in the Soviet Union by which men have been reduced to the lowest common denominator.” Australia as well as the United States is aiding South Viet Nam. Robert Forlenger, minister and deputy chief of the Australian mission to the United States, explained his country’s reasons for entering this war. “Small states are the best form of organization for South east Asia,” he said. "If they are allowed to develop they will bring progress to this area; but they must have security to develop, and they themselves cannot provide enough se curity to lay a base for economic and political progress.” He noted that Australian interests are closely linked with the interests of other small states in this matter. He also pointed out that the South Vietnamese people have shown by their 10-year struggle against North Viet Nam that they desire to remain a.separate nation. "Soulh Viet Nam was given 18 months to hold out, after the French left,” he said. "But they still have not been overcome because of the determination of the people. Therefore, we feel that this country deserves a place of its own in Southeast Asia." Another reason for support, he said, was the SEATO treaty in which Australia “and the United States, too, inci dentally,” agreed to protect South Viet Nam against ag gression. Above all, the freedom of South Viet Nam is not by any means the only issue at stake, he said. ‘‘This is a test ground for “liberation" tactics, and we cannot allow them to succeed —for if they do, there is no hope that they will not spread to other countries in the area. There must be a place for small nations in Southeast Asia, or the whole area will disintegrate into chaos and eventually into Communism.” James Phillips, of the Congressional Quarterly, concluded the discussion with a few words on the domestic reaction to the Vietnamese war, with emphasis on campus demonstra tions. He commended this generation “for thinking," but recommended that it be accurate in its understanding of Ibe problem and in interpretation of facts. During a brief question and answer period such issues as (he Geneva Agreement, U. S. cruelty, North Viet Namese reforms, and the rejection of their peace offers were brought up by the audience and further explained by the panel mem bers.

USG investigators will be busy for a long time looking into the pos sibility of no curfews for 12th term women, a “no curfew” residence hall, campus bus service and a stu dent course evaluation guide.

Not University sanctioned, but still going, the satirical Bottom of the Birdcage flew over the campus again, its wings supported by the Ad Hoc Committee and SENSE, who sold it on campus. On the social scene, Susan Hawthorne was chosen Homecoming Queen, Ann Smith was given Mil Ball Queen honors and the Inter fvaternity Council got the OK on a rule allowing women to study in certain fraternities on certain week nights. Last week was the week that was Freedom Week. Initiated by a combined committee of various civil rights groups its purpose was to bring awareness of the Negro prob lem to the University. Featured speakers were Missis sippi Freedom Democratic Party ariherant Fanny Lou Hamer and Father Layton Zimmer, head of race relations for the Philadelphia Bishopric. From pickets to polls, the term was one of student activism and dis cussion. For those out-of-state stu dents with small pocketbooks, for the draft card burners, for the cause of student freedom and for the Bird cage. the winter term looms un certainly in the future.
