CHRISTMAS KILLS:
Aid To Education
The Christmas rush could kill any hopes for aid to
education legislation this year, for the education bills are
now entangled in House-Senate controversy which may hold
them up until the last minute.
Education leaders are justly alarmed that Senate lead
ers are preventing the $1.2 billion college aid bill from
reaching the floor until House members compromise along
Senate lines on the vocational aid bill.
Joint Conferees of both houses worked out a compro
mise version of a bill to aid colleges and universities with
loans and grants to build campus facilities. But the educa
tion conferees have not met since Nov. 8 to mold a compro
mise version of House and Senate vocational aid legislation.
The chief argument is over a formula to be used in distri
buting program funds. The Senate wants a formula based
on per capita income, while the House prefers one based
on population.
A delay in any legislation is dangerous at this point
In the session, and several Congressmen have become
alarmed for education bills. In an interview with the Col
legiate Press Service this week, Chairman Adam Clayton
Powell of the House Education and Labor Committee said
the political feud "is creating a crisis in education." He
said the delay over the vocational bill is killing all educa
tion bills.
Wayne Morse, chief education pilot in the Senate, is
urging a speedy compromise on the vocational bill to avoid
more harmful delay.
It looks as if House Members, who until now have been
quite uncompromising, will have to reach an agreement
with the Senate if they want any education legislation to
pass. Compromise would be
onyinousi
I'm weary of extremists
Who scream and shout so loud.
What happened to democracy
Was it trampled in the crowd?
Who cheapened Independence Day
And put glitter on the flag?
Where were the pledges of Allegiance
In a liberal shopping bag?
Who mowed the grass roots of the state,
And plucked the Eagle's feather?
I'm tired of the wild winds,
That try to boss the weather.
What happened to the marble halls.
Once cleaned by freedom's flood,
Who's left to get down on their knees
To clean away the mud.
What hunch-backed gnome spread conserva
tism And drooled of sulking doubt;
Where do people slouch and crawl
When they've sold their future out?

The Deans didn't do it.
1 Neither did the campus
f cops.
Evidently the students or-
dered the "open campus."
I talked with Dean Ross
Wednesday about the "Open
Campus." After nearly an
hour of Ross's statements I
left. I just couldn't take his
talking anymore and, for
the first time, I felt he wasn't
1 telling me the whole story.
According to eDan Ross
1 the students "misunder-
stood" the announcements
I made by the campus cops.
I It's unfortunate that Dean
Ross feels that the campus
cops speak Icelandic or
something.
I don't know how Dean
Ross would take it, but
when a cop tells me that
"anything goes but fights
and property damage" I
somehow think that means
I can drink without fear of
checks by the police.
And when I see students
drinking beer in the Crib, I
I can't go along with Mr.
Bennett's statement that no
one was drinking in the
i Union. (Can't really blame
i him for saying it though).
And when I see cases of
beer being brought back
stage of the Kosmet Klub
Fall Show (past the eyes of
the city cops) I can't go
along with the belief that
"no one knew what wag go
ing on."
(Thanks go to the Kosmet
Klub workers for that beer
they gave me the show
looked much better that
way.)
Yet, according to Dean

Ross, all University regula
tions were in effect. But no
houses were put on pro for
the beer parties (although
the kegs and "hairy buffalo
juice" bottjes were in plain
sight).
Dean Ross told me that if
an "open campus" happens
again, "several units will be
under restriction."
The question arises why
weren't several units put un
der restriction for Saturday
night? Evidently Dean Ross
didn't know what was going
on.
But -the campus cops
knew. I waved at them with
my beer can while walking
through Selleck Quad that
night. Frank just smiled and
looked away.
Most students felt that
Dean Ross and the campus
cops had come to their
senses. It looked like they
had finally recognized that
college students are going to
drink. And rather than
have us kill ourselves on the
highways the University
decided to let us drink on
campus where they would'
have some control.
But Dean Ross emphati
cally denied this. "Univer
sity regulations were still in
effect." But why weren't
they enforced?
But they were, dear read
er. According to official Uni
versity statement, the reg
ulations were enforced. All

seven years ago, OUR
right, Dean Ross, how were
they enforced?
"Just as they always have
been."
It is interesting to think
about who is putting the
pressure on the Administra
tion. For surely, Ross (who
said he had had conferences
with "student leaders" to
d i s c u s s the "celebration
problem"), the campus
cops, the city cops all of
them knew what was going
on. Indeed, they were the
cause of the "open cam
pus." But why are they shying,
away from responsibility for.
their actions?
Either, someone is pressur
ing him or he doesn't want
to set a precedent. Dean
Ross once told me that as
he was a state official who
had taken an oath to support
state laws, he "could not
smile at state laws."
For the first time in quite
a while, the Administration
is in trouble. And since evi
dently the students were the
only ones responsible for the
"open campus" the cause of
this trouble stems directly
from student pressure.
Evidently we do have
some power. If we work as
a group, the Administration
can't touch us. Dean Ross
couldn't put the entire Greek
system on pro, or put the
dorms under "house arrest"
(three kegs in Cather that I
know of), or close the Union,
or put a stop to Kosmet
Klub shows.
It might be fur to try ;
some more.

Dear Editor:
Regarding John Winkel
man's letter in the Decem
ber 4th issue, Yes, they
really did play football on
the "day after the tragic as
sassination of a great pres
ident. All the world
mourned, including the foot
ball team and all of the on
lookers in the stadium. The
world must go on, how
however, and plans had
been too securely made to
have conceivably been
changed at that late date.
The Chancellor and other
University officials were
faced with a difficult situa
tion. After several hours of
debate they made the deci
sion that had to be made.
Mr. Winkelman, do you
truly believe, as you seem
to imply, that the thou
sands of people in Memori
al Stadium that day were
all Republicans? President
Kennedy was one of t h e
greatest men of our times
and I'll wager that there
are few Republicans who
would disagree. Perhaps
you should be a little more
realistic with your attitude.
Sincerely,

Is He All Right?
Happily, this time, the answer is yes. But 250,000 times
each year acron this country, the answer is a heartbreak
ing, fearful no.
Why does something go wrong when these tiny bodies
are being formed? Why is a seriously defective child born
to one out of every ten American families '
Can more of these children be helped with present med
teal knowledge?
What more do we need to know to prevent this from
happening to babies not ye born?
Answers to these questions are being sought in nation
wide programs supported by your contributions to The
National Foundation-March of Dimes-thc largest single
source of private support for birth defects research and
care m history. These answtl , will help prevent birth de
fects, a problem which concerns every family everywhere.

Hungry Coed
After eating in the Union
cafeteria the other day, I
felt more like a poisoned
rat than a well-fed student.
The salad dressing was
the consistency of thin to
mato juice and tasted like
a scotch sour. The shish-ka-bob
looked like the roasted
pig in the "Lord of the
Flies." Except that the boys
are better cooks than the
Union's.
The broiled onions appear
ed and tasted like prema
ture octopus or rattlesnake
meat. The iced tea must
have been made from tea
left over from the fall of
the Ming dynasty.
The upside-down cake was
so hard I actually had to cut
it with a knife.
It would seem to me, con
sidering the prices, that the
Union could at least hire
some decent cooks or
some new stoves or some
thing. Maybe the Union Board
of Managers could have a
meeting, but please decide
on a remedy quickly, as I
am forced to eat there sev
eral times a week . . . and
Mother has been comment
ing on the shakiness of my
handwriting.
