Week In Review i Christmas Truces 'Have Not Worked9
Marvel Asks For Development Board
Lincoln W The chairman of the Leg
islature's Budget Committee said Mon
day the 1967 Legislative should create a
statutory board to coordinate development
of higher education in Nebraska.
Senator Richard Marvel of Hastings
said creation of such a board would be
"a major step" toward eventual state
control and support of all public institu
tions of higher education.
"The state cannot afford the costs of
continued uncoordination," Marvel said.
"Higher education has developed in a topsy-turvy
fashion."
"The time has come to develop guide
lines in higher education and establish a
board to see that the guidelines are fol
lowed." Marvel said he will introduce the im
plementing legislation if no one else does.
The co-ordinating board would not re
place the University Board of Regents or
the state colleges' Normal Board, Senator
Marvel said.
However the board would oversee the
operations of the University, four state
colleges, the University of Omaha, junior
colleges and public vocational technical
schools, he said.
Marvel noted that institutions of high
er education have joined in forming a
voluntary co-ordinating council but, "A
board to be ultimately successful has to
have statutory authority."
He also said that the University of
Omaha and the junior colleges are in
"serious financial trouble" and will need
state aid to provide sound educational pro
grams. Lincoln Journal

As a general rule, Christ
mas truces "have not work
ed," according to history
instructor David Hodgson.
Hodgson said that last
year's truce in Vietnam was
"hardly absolute," and
doubted whether this year's

Wiretap Causes RFK, Hoover Clash
Senator Robert F. Kennedy and FBI
Director J. Edgar Hoover have disagreed
over which one authorized the wiretapping
and electronic eavesdropping which has
jeopardized many Federal prosecutions,
past and present.
Senator Edward V. Long of Missouri
has said he will invite Kennedy and Hoov
er to testify before his Senate Subcom
mittee on Administrative Practices and
Procedures. "An on-the-record hearing is
necessary," Senator Long said
Kennedy was
1961-64.
Attorney General during
I Acting Attorney General Ramsey
I Clark has said the Justice Department is
"reviewing a number of pending cases plus
! a few in which convictions have been ob
tained, to determine whether any of the
; evidence was gained through wiretapping
"or electronic eavesdropping.
Among the prosecutions endangered
is that of Bobby Baker, former Senate
Democratic majority secretary, whose
case involving nine charges of income tax
I evasion is before a Federal District Court.
;here.
.
w
I Whatever the outcome, the fact re-
mains that in June 1965 President John
son ordered all Federal agencies to stop
wiretapping and electronic eavesdropping
except in cases involving national secur-
ity.
t Hoover said Kennedy knew all about
; FBI wiretapping and eavesdropping when
Kennedy said he knew nothing about
such things.
At that time U.S. Solicitor General
Thurgood Marshall appeared before the
United States Supreme Court and dis
closed that the FBI had eavesdropped on
the Washington hotel quarters of Fred
Black Jr., a onetime business associate
of Baker's.
Black had been convicted of evading
$91,000 in income taxes and was given
a prison sentence of 15 months to four
years.
Marshall implied that the bugging
had been done without the knowledge of
the Attorney General's office.
Subsequently Black's conviction was
nullified.
In the wake of the Black episode, the
Justice Department filed a brief with the
Court which said the FBI had been au
thorized by Hoover to engage in eaves
dropping under written and oral orders of
Attorney Generals back through the Eis
enhower administration.
Hoover gave his permission, Mar
shall reported, in cases beyond national
security. Bugging was approved, the So
licitor General said, in investigations in
volving "internal security or national safe
ty, including organized crime, kidnap
ings and matters where human life must
be at stake."

power structure in the coun
try. The Nebraska Free Uni
versity is autonomous and
students who enroll in NFU
courses will not receive cre
dits, Boardman said.
Instead the NFU was es
tablished to offer "opportuni
ties for learning that cannot
be found in the established
curriculum of the Univer
sity" and to offer students a
"creative learning experience
that is student-centered," ac
cording to a recent state
ment edited by CCFU mem
bers. The NFU was established
because the Unitersity is not
realizing its goal of "total ed
ucation," the CCFU state
ment noted.
CCFU members said t h e
"established curriculum of
the University lacks courses
relevant to the needs of a
student body."
"Most of the University
course work is not taught in
a way which provides stu
dents with a "creative learn
ing experience," the state
ment said, and education be
comes an "academic rote
game" where student involve
ment is not developed.
Members of the CCFU com
mittee which originated the
Nebraska Free University
are Kathy Augustin, Phil
Boardman, Susie Diffenderf
er, Susie Phelps, Gene Po
korny, Mel Schlachter, Dick
Schulze and Garry Watzke.
would last beyond 48 hours.
He added that he could re
collect no "shining exam
ple" of a lasting and effec
tive holiday cease-fire.
He pointed to a time in
World War I during which
Americans did not start
anything and merely stayed
in "the trenches over Christ
inas, but added that the fir
ing did not stop until the
armistice.
In fact, George Washing
ton engineered the famous
attack across the Delaware
over the holidays because of
the advantages of surprise
and bad weather.
Isolated Examples
Hodgson said that during
the Civil War there were
isolated examples of good
feeling when enemy pickets
would lay down their arms
to carol and barter. He said
that such instances were not
unusual throughout this
war, any time in the year.
He stated that in earlier
times warfare was not a
"continuous process," and a
lull in the fighting might
just conveniently coincide
with Christmas.
Hodgson said that the
calls of ecclesiastical auth
orities for religious truces
have not exerted much
weight on American, history
and politics.
Even during the 30 Years
European Religious W a r,
Hodgson said that he could
remember no instances of
such Christmas truces.
During the S p a n i s li
American War, Christmas
1898 marked the end of the
conflict and the lull was the
wait for evacuation of Spa
nish forces from Cuba.
Lull In 1915
During World War I, a
holiday lull in 1915 was in
formal, following intense
fighting and heavy losses
by Germans and French.
In 1940 Berlin instructed
its air force not to attack
Britain over Christmas, but
many Britons spent the holi
day in shelters anyway dur
ing the 48-h our lull.
Throughout the rest of the
war there were virtually no
celebrations at the front.
One of the heaviest battles
of World War II, the Battle
of the Bulge, was fought
during the 1944 holidays.
Hodgson said that while
there were isolated celebra
tions, World War II wit
nessed no general laying
down of arms over Christ
mas. He added that there have
been "split political opin
ions" throughout history on
this issue of Christmas
truces, with at least one
faction on each side claim
ing "God is on our side."
Vietnam Difficulty
He said that there is not
as much validity for a
Christmas truce in the Viet
nam war, since other than
the American forces "at
least one side and a sub
stantial part of the other do
not even believe in God."
Last year violations of the
truce were claimed by both
sides. Hodgson said that the
Communists, recogn
izing the political impact,
were the first to officially
propose this year's truce.
Hodgson said that the
Communists may use this
f o r political advantage,
combining it with a "myth
in their circles" about the
size of United States pa
cifism movements.
Even so, a soJdier may
take the initiative to fire on
an enemy if -he thinks the
enemy is hostile, according

to Hodgson. Then the enemy
becomes hostile and fires
back, creating a "self-starting"
incident. He compared
this to the "self-starting"
Model A Ford.
Five Coeds
Sell Hams
To Win Title
Consecutive records have
been set every year for 'he
number of Block and Bridle
hams sold and hopefully this
year will be no different.
"The great ham race is on."
according to Tim Talbott,
ham sales chairman.
The Block and Bridle Club
is conducting their,, annual
ham sales through next
Tuesday. Five coeds. Nancy
Coufal. Jo McDowell, Vicki
Nodlinski, Linda Salisbury
and Louise Wallace are vy
ing for the title of Miss
Block and Bridle. Whoever
sells the most hams will be
crow ned at a dance on Feb
ruary 4.
Each candidate has four
club members assisting her.
Hams may be brought from
any Block and Bridle mem
ber. The ham campaign is the
annual money-raising proj
ect of the club. "We hope to

This will net the club about
$1500," said Talbott.
