Yale President Criticizes
Professor for Viet Trip
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (CPS)—
Yale President Kingman Brew
ster Jr. said last week that
Staughton Lynd, a Yale assistant
professor, was “naive and mis
guided’* in making an unauthor
ized trip to North Viet Nam.
He had stronger words about
the professor’s speech in Hanoi,
calling it “a disservice to the
causes of freedom of dissent,
freedom of travel, and conscien
tious pacifism.”
In first direct comment on
Lynd's activities. Brewster said he
felt that Lynd’s “disparagement
of his country’s leadership and
policies, while in Hanoi, damaged
the causes he purports to serve.”
Defied Department
Lynd and two other Americans,
Thomas Hayden, a founder of
the Students for a Democratic
Society, and Herbert Aptheker.
the chief theoretician of the
American Communist Party,
spent 10 days in North Viet Nam
in defiance of a State Department
ban on travel there.

Skelton to Run
For Re-Election
To House Seat
Rep. Keith D. Skelton of Lane
county today announced that he
would be a candidate for re
election to the House of Repre
sentatives this year.
Skelton, associate professor of
business law at the Univer
sity and a Eugene attorney,
will run for position two, which
he now holds.
In announcing his candidacy,
Skelton said that he has decid
ed to run for the House again
because many things remain to
be done in the state of Oregon.
“It’s very exciting to be a
part of the legislature when so
many opportunities for growth
and progress present themselves,”
he said.
“Urban problems, city and
county road and tax problems, \
education in a time of popula
tion explosion; these and many
more challenge us as legislative
members.
“Though I am flattered to be
suggested for federal elective of
fice, I feel that right now my
place is here in Oregon, in the
legislative house where I have
experience and where that ex
perience can be used for the
benefit of my county,” Skelton
said.
Senate Plans
Viet Hearing
The ASUO Senate’s Public Af
fairs Committee will hold its
fourth hearing on Viet Nam at
6:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Stu
dent Union.
Members of Young Americans
for Freedom, Young Republicans,
and probably Citizens for Viet
Nam will present their views on
the war.
An earlier hearing heard the
views of the Young Democrats,
Students for a Democratic So
ciety, and the Student-Faculty
Committee to Stop the War in
Viet Nam.
The Senate will take a posi
tion on Viet Nam, probably late
this term, to instruct University
delegates to the National Stu
dent Association’s summer con
gress.
President said that he could view
this "for fact-finding in the cause
of peace as a conscientious effort,
even though it was naive and mis
guided.”
But Brewster said he felt quite
different about "the talk which
Lynd is reported to have made in
Hanoi.”
Brewster cited Hanoi radio re
ports that Lynd publicly asserted
while in the North Vietnamese
capital "that the Johnson admin
istration lies to the American
people” and that the United
States' w-ar efTort in “immoral,
illegal, and anti-democratic.”
No Reply
Lynd said he had no comment
on Brewster’s statement.
He had earlier said that he was
thinking of leaving Yale because
of the reaction to his trip. At
that time he noted that the school
had not brought any pressure on
him to leave but that reaction
among “some alumni” had been
quite unfavorable and that “Yale
has to answer the phone about
this all the time.”
The Yale president indicated
that Lynd is not and will not be
put under any pressure to resign.
Quoting directly from a speech
before the Yale Alumni Associa
tion in November, Brewster re
affirmed his conviction that “as
long as a man is in good faith, as
long as he is not in default with
respect to the teaching and schol
arly obligations for which he is
employed, the long-run interest
of the university, indeed the long
run charge which the university
bears from its own tradition
makes it unthinkable that we
should penalize a faculty member
for his political position.”
Resignation Unacceptable
A spokesman for the adminis
tration told the Yale Daily News
that if Lynd were to submit his
resignation for the sole purpose
of allowing the university the
opportunity to choose freely to
dismiss him — without violating
Brewster’s "academic freedom
doctrine” — then the resignation
would not be accepted.
Representatives of the school’s
fund-raising agencies told the
Yale Daily that they were not
concerned over the fears express
ed by some alumni that the pub
licity surrounding the Lynd trip
would steer both respect and fi
nancial support away from the
school.
“No one’s seriously threatened
not to donate,” a spokesman said,
and added that contributions are

"plugging along about the same
as usual.”
In a copyrighted article written
for the Boston Globe, Lynd sug
gested that the U.S. government
should accept the three pre-con
ditions for negotiations outlined
by the North Vietnamese foreign
ministry on Jan 4.
The three points, as outlined
by Lynd in his article, are:
• Bombing of North Viet Nam
must end permanently and un
conditionally.
• The U.S. must accept North
Viet Nam’s four points (which
includes the withdrawal of all
troops) as a basis for negotia
tions.
• The U.S. must demonstrate
its sincerity by "actual deeds.”
Lynd argued that North Viet
Nam does not require the U.S.
to withdraw its troops from Viet
Nam as a basis for negotiations
but only that it wants this in
cluded in the negotiations.
Four Points Basis
The Yale professor said that
North Viet Nam considers its
four points as a summary of the
1954 Geneva agreement which
ended the French War in Indo
china and established North and
South Viet Nam. Agreement to
negotiate on the basis of that set
tlement would be sufficient, Lynd
said.
As to the question of "actual
deeds,” Lynd suggested that rec
ognition of the National Libera
tion Front (the Viet Cong) by
the U.S. and a willingness to in
elude them in negotiations would
satisfy the North Vietnamese gov
ernment.
Lynd gained this insight into
the North Vietnamese govern
ment's requirements for talks, he
said, during his discussions with
North Vietnamese leaders, in
cluding Pham Van Dong.
Library Holds Book
Jacket Exhibit
Book jacket design, a new and
vital part of the design field, will
be featured in an exhibit of win
ners in the ninth book jacket
competition, displayed in the
lobby of the University Library,
through March 13.
Seventy-one jackets of both fic
tion and non-fiction books were
considered outstanding by a four
member panel of artists and de
signers. The winners are only a
small percentage of all the jackets
designed during 1963-64.
The show, sponsored by the
printing firm of Turck & Rein
feld, Inc., is the only one of its
kind in the United States. The
exhibit of winning jackets is
scheduled for an extensive tour
of this country as well as foreign
countries under the auspices of
the United States Information
Agency.

Education Costs
Higher in U.S.
By DAN WEBBER
Collegiate Press Service
American college students pay
higher tuition and a greater share
of the cost of their education!
than students in most other
countries.
There are no fees at all in
many foreign countries, and in
many others almost all students
receive monthly allowances to
help pay for their living expens
es and any tuition charges they
may face.
Higher education is free in
Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and
even "under developed" Afghanis
tan. In addition, higher education
is free in all of the countries of
Eastern Europe and the Soviet
Union. Students receive monthly
stipends of about $42 from the
government in East Germany and
comparable amounts in several
other Communist countries
It might be noted, however, that
not everyone can qualify for a
higher education. A certain abil
ity level is required and the
i Communist countries generally
favor those with talents in the
physical sciences.
Canada Comparable
The .Soviet Union pays col
lege professors about eight
times as much as a Russian far
tory worker gets. U.S. professors
get less than twice as much as
the average factory worker.
The average tuition and re
quired fees in the United States
last year was $818 in private in
stitutions and $202 for residents
and $639 for non residents in
state universities and land-grant
colleges.
College costs in Canada are
comparable to the U.S. However,
the highest Canadian liberal arts
college tuition was less than $600
last year compared to $2,000 a
year charged at several private
, American colleges. Last march
the government of Newfoundland,
Canada, announced free tuition
for first-year university students
not already supported by schol
arships or other government
grants.
$3.06 Per Semester
The third most expensive coun
try in which to attend a univer
sity is Great Britain, where tui
tion averages less than $200 a
year. Although Cambridge and
Oxford advise prospective stu
dents to have about $1,300 a
year to cover their living ex
penses, including board, room,
and personal costs, only about
$150 of this goes into tuition
charges. In comparison, last
year's literature for Harvard stu
dents advised a budget of about
$3,350 with more than half of
this sum going into tuition.
In comparison to the U.S.,
j Great Britain, and Canada, other
; countries’ college costs are al
most nominal. In Austria costs
range from nothing at all in some
institutions to $15 32 per semester
in others. Tuition ranges from
$3.06 to $4.60 per semester at the
University of Vienna, the nation’s
largest institution of higher edu
cation.
In France, university training
is virtually free: students pay no
tuition and only low registration
and examination fees. Charges are
less than $10 per year in most in
stitutions under state judisdic
tion and vary from $8 to $30 in
non secular universities.
Tuition ranges from $28 to
$120 per year In Italy's 25 uni
versifies which are under thejur
isdiction of the national govern
ment.
Costa Rica—$8
Most large universities in Spain
charge $50 a yi-nr in tuition,
although one small university
charges only $8.88 In Switzer
land, one large university re
quires tuition amounting to $1 88
per semester. Tuition averages
about $50 per semester in West
Germany and SI00 in Israel
In Argentina there is no
charge for secular institution ed
ucation. Students in Chile pay
$32 75 per year to attend a uni
versity whether private or pub
lic.
There is a $10 registration
fee at the pubiic universities of
Mexico and up to $18 a year in
tuition. Students have to scrape
up $8 to go to a university in Cos
ta Rica
The Nationalist Chinese gov
ernment on Taiwan has some uni
versities with no costs and oth
ers that charge up to $3 75 per
semester.
The largest university in Ja
pan, with 25,000 students, re
quires up to $111 per year in tui
tion, depending on the subject
being studied Tuition ranges
from $25 to $281 a year in other
Japanese universities. Most uni
versities also charge a regis
tration fee which may range from
$2.78 to $278.
