Agency tor Peace... (Continual from pilin' ft) I)«*sp«lr thus vicariously ex perienced by the audience serves as u powerful learning and in sight experience I would like to agree with Mr Greene that a significant number of Americans, includ ing government officials, are giving Senator Morse's fI,ear's fool?) valid protestations of US foreign policy a second thought, and beginning to sense the tragic disaster America ap pear* to be creating for itself I would like to assume that enough despairing has been done, and that the United States has not, as the Kev. Carl Nelson of the Kugene Unitarian Church implied in his ..eh before the recent protest denionstra tlon, gone beyond the point of no return, itather, America is capable of recognizing its fault, both past and present, and of dealing with them honorably and construc tively. I would like to believe, in fact, that peace among the pco files of the world is thinkable and even possible, and that Americans, even in the current dim hope of possibility for peace, are capable of contribut ing to a peaceful world. Positive Ac tion Assuming these l>eliefs to have some validity, I would stress one- point at which posi tive action for the sake of peace has simply not received enough consideration While conscientious objection is a choice open to everyone facing the draft, it is probable that many who object to 20th century mass extermination war fare have nevertheless not soli dified their beliefs into the orthodox cast required to qual ify for conscientious objection. Many of these same persons may at the same time he willing to accept an implicit assump tion of the draft, i e., that every capable American must at some time fulfill an obligation to his country. Accepting this obligation. I would disagree that it is best fulfilled by military service I would, however, tie quite willing to serve America in civilian service directed at con structive, nonviolent resolution of the multitude of economic, political and social problems that beset the United States today. Co-ordinating Agency 1 would propose that a civilian service agency to co • ordinate such existing organizations, de voted to constructive peaceful action, as the Peace Corps, In ternational Voluntary Service, Friend’s Service Committee, Accion, Turn Toward Peace, the Catholic Workers, VISTA, local social welfare agencies, etc., he created to offer a means by which those desiring to serve their country in peace, and only peace, may do so. This proposal is not to con tradict Roger Rapoport’s sug gestions as on how to end the draft (Emerald, Feb. 17), which are. I believe, pragmatically creditable. In addition to advocating an end lo the draft, I would also propose that an alternative serv ice to the military be created for those willing to give of their time in positive action for the purpose of at least diverting the United States from its ap parent blind charge into dis aster. and at most re-establish U.S. integrity among the other nations of the world. Could Implement Programs A civilian service such as the one proposed would help to im plement the current federal poverty program and other do mestic policies, as well as pre pare for the most general social problems of the near future, as outlined, for example, by the authors of The Triple Revolu tion, In both its foreign and do mestic branches, this civilian service would do well to empha size education and technical training as major parts of its program. The foreign service especially should stress the exchange of ideas between cultures and learning experience in the reali ties of today’s global social change, rather than missionary self righteousness. It would ho advantageous for aurh an agency to maintain close communication with uni versities and technical schools, thus availing itself of the vast reservoir of useful knowledge that may be offered by econo mists, agricultural experts, an thropologists, sociologists, engi neers, etc. Interest to Students As the above proposal is stated, it would seem very much in the interest of students, many of whom are now faced with the alternative of either draft induction or prison, to endorse it. For one thing, it offers the j protester of current US. for eign policy a positive end for which to demonstrate, and, for the majority of protesters, one that does not contradict their! criticism Nor does such a proposal con- 1 flict with the beliefs of sup porters of current U S. policy who also desire peace. For an- j other thing, it would he hoped that the example of willingness on the part of American stu-1 dents to exchange active peace- ; ful service and constructive ideas with the students and peo- 1 pie of Communist China, the1 Soviet Union, Cuba, even North Viet Nam, as well as all other 1 nations, would convince these i peoples that positive action for peace was in their best interest ! also. Bollinger... (Continued from f’affe f>) Again and again in our stu dent campaigns we are con fronted with the idea of legiti macy. Has the Senate the right to take stands and provide the campus with a broader scope of politics? Has the Senate the right to | form policy on issues which ! promise a diversity of opinion on campus? Or should the Sen ate continue to discuss legisla tion that does not arouse the opinion of the average student? This is what the average stu dent must determine when he [ gives his voting consent. The non voting student abuses this j •right.” It has been said that “re- ( sponsibility is a product of re- j sponsible institutions.” The stu-; dent is just as responsible to j his representative government as is the individual he selects ; by vote. The vital interests of i any campus are formulated by j those who vote. Hut one of the main prob lems confronting every campus is the lack of original ideas. A diversity of ideas is what makes a political system rich, since it is from this pluralism that the responsible proposals for stu dent government policy arc founded. This coercion of principles and the tolerance of compro mise is hampered in our stu dent government because of the need for communication be tween the students and the leaders the students have sc lected. Due to the fact that in our form of campus government we have no political parties to which we can attach miscella neous principles, the student leader's “consented right” is usually in reference to his own judgment; and the only way a constituency of 12.000 people may alter this judgment is through letter correspondence, telephone calls, or personal contact such as visitations or office hours. This decision is yours. , (Lee Bollinger, senator-at large, ext. 1694, office hours 1 p in. Thursdays.)

Dress to please my standards or miss class and suffer the consequences, is his attitude. And the head of the department says he can do this. I feel that the English de partment should be informed in no uncertain terms by who ever the proper authorities arc (and by the student govern ment) that no professor in this University has the authority to dictate to his students in the way Mr. Svendsen is doing. I also request that the Em erald make clear just what the proper channels are for students (specifically whom to approach) with complaints of such dicta torial practices of individual faculty members.
