Primary teachers reported more time devoted to planning; than the other teaching levels,, while intermediate teachers re-1 ported the least amount of plan ning time. j Student Unrest Dialogue Topic The topic of today's YMCA dia logue is 'The Restless Student,” an investigation of some of the evidences of unrest and rebellion coming to light among student groups. Leading the discussion will be Si Ellingson, director of the Stu dent Union, and Bob Dyer, assis tant Dean of Students, both of whom are responsible for ad ministering the Minor Court System. They will discuss the Berkeley situation and other situations in which students are attempting to express frustrations felt toward mass culture and impersonal so ciety. Also, evidences of unrest at Oregon, and a discussion of what students rebel against will be included. Other points to be stressed arc whether such a thing as a “student movement exists” and whether the struggle for the right to use "four letter words” is a legitimate outcropping of student revolution, or is sim ply a substitute for the lack of anything worthwhile against which students can fight. One of the greatest variable* between grade levels was in the category of ‘‘other school work time,” which included such items as school meetings, administra tive and clerical responsibilities, assemblies, coaching, pupil or ganization sponsorship, other planning, and correcting papers. High school teachers reported 19 2 hours per week devoted to such activities, compared to 9 9 hours for primary teachers, 11.1 hours for intermediate teachers, and 11.1 hours for junior high school teachers. Hath concluded: “The greatest explanation for the difference in the total work week is found in the 'other school work time.’ ” partrnent; Robert W.

David Aberle, who is chairman of the committee, has released a statement in response to Presi dent Lyndon B. Johnson’s speech of April 7.

Boyte resigned an executive position with the American Red Cross after 18 years of serv ice to work for the civil rights movement. The speech is to be held in the SU Ballroom at 8 p m. and is open to the public. “while the United States con tinues to support an unstable and unpopular puppet regime.” Demands Popular Vote Demanding that the U.S. allow a popular vote in the troubled area, Aberle says: “The evidence seems increasingly clear that Americans have preferred to sup port war rather than a plebis cite.” Aberle claims that the war is brutal, "reminiscent of Nazi concentration camps,” and that the U.S. ought to allow the vari ous pressure groups in Viet Nam to have representation in the government. Aberle agrees with Johnson that South Viet Nam should be “able to shape its own relation ships to all others—free from outside interference—tied to no alliance—a military base for no other country.” BEACH BLANKET BINGO Frankie Avalon CO-FEATURE SANDS OF IWO JIMA John Wayne Annette Funnichillo In Cannanore, India: It takes a day. to handloom 3 yards.. - of this Gant...
