EDITORIAL OPINION
Nobody's Business
Student Complaints about the conduct of the
Ritenuur Health Center have occurred with such fre
quency that it looks almost like a reflex action.
The Health Center is alter all a kind of "social
ized medicine, - and is subject to all the bureaucratic
red tape of the system.
But when the criticism stems from a life ur death
situation, allowances for the system are hardly ade
quate.
As the story now stands there are two separate
views on the question of efficiency in the Health
Center. These two views seem to stem from the
Health Center itself.
William A. Fatula, the administrative Director,
stated he recommended students with complaints
register them and an investigation would be con
ducted.
On the other hand, University Physician Herbert
R. Glenn took an unequivocal view last night. He
called the question of janitor-ambulance drivers
"nobody's business" and maintained "that's the way
the ball bounces."
But when the life of any student, faculty. or ad
ministrator is subject to the bouncing of a ball, the
system is radically in need of improvement, even if
it means a few finances.
While the specific death of one student does not
necessarily indicate inefficiency on the part of the
Health Center, the subsequent student investigations
indicate a need to re-examine the system closely.
Wayne Morse is the kind of man that can publicly de
nounce the President of the United States one minute and
arrange to visit a country auction the next. He is the type
of person who can be the President's closest legal adviser in
the Congress and at the same time be the staunchest and
most indomitable critic of the man in the White House.
He has become of late a flamboyant television star and
a thorn in the side of the administration. There are people
who will leap to their feet to denounce him in public; there
are those who write letters to magazines and send him tele
grams praising him. There is no one who doesn't have an
opinion of, Wayne Morse, Democratic Senator from Oregon,
member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and
chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Latin American
Affairs.
Morse receives about 40 invitations a clay to speak at
various public occasions and he wishes he could accept all of
them. He growls at his staff if they don't let him see his mail,
and he travels furiously around and about the country. Last
Sunday he was in Harrisburg for a speech before 2.500 peo
ple gathered under the guidance of the Central Pennsylvania
Committee on Vietnam. As it was my first personal contact
with the man, it was a memorable occasion which 1 would
like to share.
There is only one thing on Wayne Morse's mind these
days—Vietnam—and that was his topic Sunday. In case
there are any hermits out there who are not familiar with
his position on Vietnam, it is basically that the United States
is morally and legally indefensible in its position; that our
policy is greatly increasing the chances of war with China;
that the Viet Cong, rather than the United States and South
Vietnamese military, have the sympathy of the majority of
the Vietnamese people and therefore must have a significant
role in any negotiations or coalition government; and that
the United States is violating both the Geneva accords and
the SEATO agreements by its presence and activities in
Vietn m.
He has elucidated his points time and again, and he has
a copious amount of historical facts to bear him out. In his
speech Sunday (which was more a lecture based on his re
marks during the Foreign Relations Committee last week
and statements he will make on the floor of the Senate). he
traced briefly the history of Vietnam, from the Japanese
occupation through the Geneva accords which no one has

ever paid any attention to, through the establishment of the
Saigon government by the United States and the eventual
American disenchantment with the dictator Diem, through
the various puppet governments and the religious rebellion,
up to the present commitment of 205,000 American soldiers
in the country and along the coast.
As he outlined them, these are his major fears:
1. That U.S. interventio,i in Vietnam is antagonizing
and strengthening, rather than resisting and weakening,
Communist China, and that war with China would strength
en Sino-Soviet relations and draw the two countries together
in a nuclear war "which would not be fought in Asia but in
New York and Washington and Portland and San Francisco
and Moscow and Stalingrad."
2. That the U.S. has assumed the role of a warmaking,
rather than a peacekeeping, power.
3. That the U.S. is operating in clear violation of its own
Constitution. the United Nations charter, the Geneva agree
ments of 1954, and the charter of the Southeast Asia Treaty
Organization. This is his most formidable argument and the
most undeniably true of all the points he presents. First, he
says only Congress has the Constitutional power to declare
war, as representatives of the people of the United States,
"This is your foreign policy." he said forcefully at one point.
He gives the curious impression that he would welcome a
Congressional vole on a declaration of war, although he is
more than likely speaking hypothetically. In any case, he
points out, he would vote against it, which is more than he
can do now.
As for the United Nations, he feels the United States is
about two years late in submitting Vietnam to U.N. discus
sion and for that reason, U.N. action on it will probably be
stalled. (He proposed taking the matter before the U.N. in a
speech on this campus just over a year ago, apparently long
before the President had even considered the idea.)
As for SEATO, he points to the noted reluctance of our
SEATO "allies" to leap into combat at our side in Vietnam
as evidence that we are not operating in the correct inter
pretation of the SEATO charter or under the true provisions
of that agreement. In the charter, Vietnam is guaranteed a
"protective umbrella" by the Southeast Asian signatories.
But his account of the disregard for the Geneva accords
brings up the most repugnant factor of all. He argues that
in 1954, a demarcation line was established along the 17th
Parallel, what is now the border between North and South
Vietnam. He reads from the charter that this line is never
to be interpreted as a political or social boundary or barrier.
Vietnam is, then, one country and he maintains it would still
be one country if the United States hadn't insisted on set
ting up the refugee Diem as a puppet in Saigon who turned
the South Vietnamese government into the reactionary dic
tatorship of which so much has remained through today,
Morse is exhausting to watch. But one fact is most ob
vious: that here is man who is motivated completely by his
conscience and by the facts that have been presented to him.
He told of an incident that happened to him on the
Senate floor just a few weeks before an election. A contro
versial tax bill was before the Senate and he had just deliver
ed a lengthy tirade against it. Then Paul Douglas of Illinois
("the best economist in the Senate and one of the best econ
omists in the nation") got the floor and delivered an equally
lengthy speech supporting the bill. During his speech, Doug
las read a table supporting his position, Morse says that when
he heard the table, he thought "If that thing is correct, I am
completely wrong on this." While Douglas was speaking,
Morse slipped over and sat down beside him, scrutinizing
the table. He knew that he had been wrong, so he asked
Douglas to yield and admitted his mistake and reversed his
vote.

At the close of the session, Morse was engulfed by 11
Senators who asked "Wayne how could you commit politi
cal suicide like that, right before an election? We want you
back here!" Morse takes delight in pointing out to his con
stituents that seven of the Senators were Republicans.
How does this man keep getting elected? "Well, Oregon
has the second highest literacy rate of all the states, and
when you rave a literate constituency, they understand you,"
he grinned.
And the people in Oregon expect a lot from their spunky
Senator (Maurine Neuberger isn't exactly spunky). Standing
in zero temperatures on a Harrisburg curb waiting for his
car (which never came, incidentally) Morse was telling about
a call he got late one night from a Portland official, "Senator
you've got to help us," the official pleaded. "What's the prob
lem?" "Well, some students are having a Vietnam demon
stration here." ''Well, treat them with decency and respect,"
the Senator replied. "Yes, but they've just occupied a fed
eral building," the frantic official cried. Sen. Morse admits
that lie told him he was ltelplass, but urged leniency.
Backstage after the speech, Morse talked earnestly with
a few people who had come to see him. He talked to two State
legislators about a country auction that's being held in
northeast Pennsylvania. He talked to the assemblymen c
old friends, and as fellow politicians. They were awed.
He signed autographs for a little girl and for an old
woman with two pens that were both out of ink. He talked
about student demonstrations, about the weather in Madi.
son, Wis. the night before, about the Senate hearings ("I
think Bill Fulbrighf's remarks to Rusk on Friday make The
most eloquent and valid statements of our position yet," he
told me). He was stumping among people that could not
elect him next time if they wanted to.
It's possible that Wayne Morse is, as one of the most
harshly criticized people ever to occupy a Senate seat, merely
on the defensive. But a talk with the man rules this out, He
has a conscience, that man, and he listens to it. And he
wants to give everyone a chance to hear his argument and
then, if they wish, oppose him. The seven Republican Sena
tors put it best when they told him: "Wayne, we want you
back!"
