Washington (CPS) a
dvil rights squabble injected
into the most radical change
in college and university Re
serve Officer Training Corps
(ROTC) programs this week
killed any hopes for congres
sional approval on the plan
this session.
The House bill to change
ROTC programs for colleges
as well as high schools
missed its only hope for pas
sage this year when the
measure was brought up un
der suspension of House
rules.
Rep. Otis Pike, D-N.Y., led
the move to reject the bill
because it lacked a ban on
racial segregation in schools
receiving funds for ROTC
programs.
The House refused passage
after Pike said the bill was
an attempt to leave the
chamber "bilked, trimmed,
jobbed, lumbered, clipped
and swindled."
Pike claimed Rep. F. Ed-(

making it impossible for
Pike wanted an amend
ment that would halt ROTC
funds to any school that re
fused admission to students
because of their race or
color.
But Hebert, chairman of a
House Armed Services Sub
committee, called up the bill
under suspension of the rules.
This blocks amendments and
permits only 40 minutes of
debate. Under this procedure,
however, the bill must win
a two-thirds vote to pass. It
failed on a 178-154 roll call
vote, far short of the needed
two-thirds.
This does not automatically
kill the bill. Hebert has the
right to ask the rules com
mittee to allow it to come
before the House under its
regular procedures. After the
vote, However, Hebert said
he would not try to brine
up the bill again.
In an Interview with CPS,
Hebert said any hope of pas
sage this session was out of
the question.
"As long as they try to
attach this civil rights fight
to it," Hebert said, "there'll
be no action on the bill. I've
told the Pentagon this, and
the men who voted against
it didn't know what they
were doing."
The bill would expand juni
or ROTC from 254 to a maxi
mum of 2,000 high schools.
It would continue the pres

in colleges, but allow a two
year ROTC program in those

program would be
primarily voluntary.
College students selected
for the programs would re

their four years of college,

KK Sets Up
Cass Award
K o s m e t Klub has estab
lished an annual scholarship
in memory of Steven Cass,
who died in a 1962 car acci
dent. The "Kosmet Mub Memor
ial Scholarship Fund" was
set up with a $3,132 gift to
the University Foundation,
Herb Potter, Jr., Foundation
secretary, announced Mon
day. In addition, Kosmet Klub
will give the Foundation $132
each year to finance one-semester
tuition and fees until
income from the initial gift
will be sufficient to maintain
the scholarship.
The recipient must be a
third-year student in the Col
lege of Engineering and Ar
chitecture, have at least a 6.0
grade average, be in finan
cial need, and be active in
extra- curricular activities
outside of the CoDege.
Any student who is a mem
ber of Kosmet Klub will not
be eligible for the scholar
ship. Jim Hansen, business man
ager of Kosmet Klub, said
funds will come from pro
ceeds of the group's fall and
spring theatrical productions.
At the time of his death,
Steven Cass was vice presi
dent of Kosmet Klub ,and en
rolled in the College of En
gineering and Architecture.

a 54 to 27 vote and was sent
on to the White House. It had
already been approved by the
House.
The breakthrough in the
conference committee came
after a two-hour session be
tween House and Senate con
ferees and two reported tele
phone calls from the Presi
dent to key negotiators over
last weekend.
Except for a few minor de
tails, the conferees approved
a compromise version of a $58
million federal aid to vocation
al training bill legislation
which had deadlocked Senate
action on the college bill.
The Senate had refused .to
act on the House-passed, col
lege aid bill until House ed
ucation leaders accepted their
proposals on the vocational
training bill
The vocational aid package
also contained a S e n a t e-ap-proved
version of the NDEA
ad providing $45 million in
new funds for the $90 million
a year loan program for U.S.
college students. The House
has yet to report a bill on
the NDEA act, but there were
indications that it would ap
prove the Senate version when
it reached the floor.
House education leaders had
hoped to make the NDEA a
more sweeping program. But
negotiators agreed on a sim
ple two-year extension instead
of a three-year duration as
proposed by the Senate.
The main point of the voca
tinal aid program which had
bogged down all education leg
islation this year was how the
$58 million would be distrib
uted to aid vocational train
ing. The Senate wanted to dis
tribute money on a per cap
ita basis, favoring Southern
states, while the House
wanted to allocate it on a pop
ulation"' basis,' favoring the
North.
The' compromise agreement
calls for fund allocation giving
weight to the relative wealth
of the state as well as its
working-age population.
President Johnson made the
following comments on the
Senate action:
"The Senate is to be com
mended on its passage today
of the conference report on
higher education. This Con
gress is well on its way to
doing more for education
since the Land-Grant College
Act that was passed 100 years
ago.
"Members of the House and
Senate Education Committees,
Republicans and Democrats
alike, are to be congratulated
on this major step forward-1
extend my special congratula
tions to Senator Morse and
Congresswoman Green, who
have a long record of interest
and leadership in this field.

O'Neill's long Journey'
(Con't. from Page 2)
house of prostitution where
he discovers that the lady
owner and "Vi", one of the
girls, have grave problems
that he manages to solve, at
least in part! In the same
scene, Mayer scares the
hell out of his stage broth
er and the audience, when
he reveals his wish to de
stroy his brother. Jerry
Mayer's acting is almost
too real. His performance
is of a high calibre through
out the play.
Gary Gue plays Edmund,
the younger son in the Ty
rone family. Gue's perfor
mance gets much better as
the play progresses. At
times he seemed not quite
able to suppress his own
personality enough to be
convincing as Edmund, but
his part was demanding, and
his sensitivity to it far out
weighed any small flaws in
his performance.
Sandra Watkins as Cath
leen, the hired girl, had a
slight problem with an Irish
accent that she was sup
posed to possess but didn't
too often. Miss Watkins did
perform with perfection in
the scene where she drunk
enly came out to announce
supper to Mr. and Mrs. Ty
rone. As is usual at Howell
productions, the setting was
a finely documented illu
sion of reality with the
exception of a silly char
coal drawing of the Bard of
Avon himself which looked
suspiciously like it had
been borrowed from a strug
gling art student here at
the University. It just did
not fit except perhaps as
a commentary on the clash
of everything and every
body (?) within O'Neill's
Play.
The costumes must not be
forgotten, along with "the
lighting. They both were an
additional asset to the pro
duction of the play.
O'Neill's play is long. It
seems to drag sometimes
through a few too many of
Edmund's agonizing "Mam
ma '"s. Also the card game
that brings Mr. Tyrone to
show his hand and in do
ing so reveal his life his
tory, lags a bit long about
when Mr. Tyrone and Ed
mund pick up the cards for
the fifth time without hav
ing played a hand yet. One
begins to worry more about
their playing the hand than
their finishing their "tale of
gore".
At any rate, the incongru
ity created by these small
flaws in Eugene O'Neill's
dramatization of his life as
a young man gives a con
trast to the content of the
play which accents its good
ness and O'Neill's attempt
at perfectly portraying peo
ple. The University Theatre
group reaches high, and
though they are not able to
achieve perfection, neither
was O'Neill. The players
have given one of the fin
est productions that will be
seen on this campus for a
long time to come.

University Professor Warns
Against Stressing Talented
Syracuse, N.Y. Critics of
public education in the Unit
ed States are asking for no
more than half-a-package by
emphasizing teaching excel
lence only for the talented, a
University educator warned
last week.
In a keynote address before
the New York State Associa
tion of School Principals, Dr.
O. W. Kopp said that it is
simply not enough that "our
talented Johnny know more
than talented Ivan."
The University chairman of
the department of elementary
education told the 1,200 prin
cipals that our less talented
youngsters must also be help
ed to reach the limits of their
capacity.

lic education has become sy

cause our nation is very de
pendent on skilled manpow

children, but it is not child's
play to get this point across
to our own teachers."
Dr. Kopp reminded the prin
cipals that psychologists have
found that individual help for
all students is necessary at
certain critical times in their
intellectual development if ex
cellence is to be achieved on
any level.
Fresh Wins
4-H Honors
Eleven years of excellence
in 4-H Club work were cli
maxed with a $500 scholar-
s h i p for Carolyn Cilek, a
freshman in the College of
Agriculture & Home Ec, a na
tional winner in the 4-H Lead
ership program.
The scholarship, one of 12
given by The Sears-Roebuck
Foundation, was presented at
the 42nd National mil Club
Congress at Chicago recently.
Miss Cilek was also the re
cipient of a $200 Regents
scholarship and entered the
University to major in veter
inary medicine. Much of her
leadership work resulted from
her 4-H livestock project and
her help on the 3,440-acra
farm and ranch operated by
her parents.

Welcome back to the halls of higher learning! And here we go,
with the 196364 series on correct dress and grooming geared t
you to help you earn extra credits as the well-dressed man-about
campus.
This season, the big topic fs the return to tweed rugged, textured,
and in a wide variety of patterns. Take tweed into account when
you're picking out your sport jackets, and for a new suit to wear
on or off -campus, on weekends, or what you will !
RUNNING NECK AND NECK in the sweep
stakes for tweed sport jackets are race-track
plaids, herringbones and diagonals. Race-track
patterns are found in strong, vigorous color
combinations like gold, amber and blue, while
the biggest thing in herringbone is bold
black-and-white or black-and-gray. Multicolor
diagonals come in heather tones with a muted,
misty effect. Even the ubiquitous blazer is
newly disguised in tweed, with broad almost
awning stripes in unusual and interesting
colors. Whatever you choose, your jacket still
sports its classic cut, straight-hanging, with
natural shoulders, center vent and 3-button
closure.
THE CAMELS ARE COMING This rich, medium brown shad
will blend well with every other color in your wardrobe so look
for camel color in sport jackets, cardigans, pullovers and zipper
jackets, among other things. You name it you 11 find it in camel!
.STRONG, STURDY CORDUROY is still the mainstay of the
campus wardrobe especially in the newer, wider-wale weaves.
Sport jackets come equipped with the popular leather patches that
keep you from coming out-at-elbow while adding a smart touch
Both jackets and slacks will be in demand in the neutral, natural
tans, while olives are with us still. Or you might try the latest
corduroy camel, what else?
VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF SLACKS-as long as the variety'.
confined to fabric. Cut remains trim and tapered, pleatless and
with a plain waistband. Real winners are worsteds with a smooth
finish, or wool-and-polyester blpnds with a flannel finish. Take a
lrxik at both darker and intermediate tones oxford grays, olives,
dark brown, as well as the middle mixtures then make your com
mand decision on the basis of the blend or contrast with your
jackets.
RIDING HIGH . on campuses throughout the
country is the hi-riser shoe, now available in
smooth leather! like cordovan, as well as
brushed leathers. A good choice for all but the
most formal occasion or the football field is
the popular slip-on. The traditional moccasin is
the theme and its variations are very nearly
unlimited! Grained leather slip-ons are neur
for Fall, and watch particularly for grained
leathers in black. Equally smart is the wing
tip, one of this season's revivals.
TOP IT OFF WITH TWEEDS, TOO-now that
sport hats are being made of thin fabric fa
vorite! You can have a sport model hat with
pinch frown and narrow brim in a variety of
tweeds, as well as the regulation flat country
cap. If you'd rather concentrate on corduroy.
you tan find plenty of hats to your taste usually wide-wale, with
broad hand and feather mount. So don't overlook the multiple pos
sibilities of the fabric hat for the sporting life!
Next month we'll turn the spotlight on tailored apparel, and give
you The Word on suils. topcoat and town-type accessories to tide
you over. S? you tlji.nl
