To Review Policies Student-Faculty Council Urges Library Committee By JIM KIMBALL Kim-ruld HUB Writer The Student - Faculty Council asked for a joint student-faculty committee to investigate com plaints about the library and to consider a joint committee to overset! library policy. Though lacking a quorum at its meeting Tuesday, it went ahead to instruct its chairman, Robert Horn, professor of English, to move the committee’s creation at the December faculty meeting. South Vietnamese... (Continued from pa ye 1) lion Is illustrated by the impor tance that both sides attach to the concept of “infrastructure” or its equivalent in Vietnamese, ha tang co so. Broadly speaking, an infra structure is any system of organ ized authority. Implicit in this concept is the idea that an infrastructure — whether at the hamlet or national level — cannot exercise control over people without having their support in substantial degree. Conversely, if control can be established, support may be de veloped over time through popu lar administration The personnel of their respec tive infrastructures are the pri rnary weapons in the power strug gle going on here at every level between the government and the Viet Cong. Discussion... (Coxtimird tram /'»</<’ I) so to stay out of Viet Nam, but bow many will join these serv ice groups when there isn't a clanger. Goldrich answered with an ex ample from a relatively peace ful hut recent time, lftfil-63 In these years, he said that "there were great increases in Peace Corps volunteers.” A question from the audience asked if the Peace Corps and other similar service projects should be considered equal to military service-. Boring replied that it was the draft which was discouraging par ticipation in other programs, as a man who has just finished two years in the Peace Corps is re classified I-A when he gets back It was also mentioned that the draft was responsible for the United States foreign policy, per petuating the war in Viet Nam. No one on the panel condoned this foreign policy. Henry Drummonds pointed out that in times of emergency con scription is necessary, a* in the case of World War II. Sernas summed up this feeling by stating, "The way to stop Com munisrn is not to kill all the com munists, but to make it economi cally unfeasible for Communism to grow.” major elements ox cacn xnxra structure are devoted to strength ening it and weakening the op posing infrastructure (e.g., both sides lay great stress on the de velopment of strong recruiting and propaganda teams, I Kith prac tice selective assassination to de stroy key links in the enemy’s in frastructure). Furthermore, each Infrastruc ture is said to be heavily infil trated by agents of the opposing one. Significantly but not surpris ingly, many Vietnamese believe that both Viet Cong and govern ment village infrastructures are now much weaker than the tradi tional village power structure prior to the coming of colonial ism or communism. To gain its political—and cul tural—ends, the elite infrastruc ture on each side has mobilized substantial portions of the popu lation it controls. Each has devel oped weapons — technological, psychological, logistical — which are being tested wherever one side can find a weakness in the other. At the present time, one side has technological and logistical superiority within the contested area, whereas the other appears to enjoy psychological advantage. This is a struggle for power, and no holds arc barred. The skill in highest demand is that of employing the appropriate weap on at the right time, whether it be a mortar or a lie. Student Court Lacks Quorum The Student Conduct Commit tee at its regular meeting Tues day discussed the fact that the Student Court is having an ad ministration problem in being un able to get a quorum of members to sit on a case. Some of the members have had to cut classes to make a quorum. Phil Beale, acting Dean of Stu dents, reported that there are a number of cases to come before the courts on cheating. Cases will be held Friday and Tuesday. The committee discussed and will continue to "discuss the pos sibility of changing the section on sanctions in the Student Code.

SAVE YOUR CASH REGISTER RECEIPTS University Co-op The council's action was prompted by a list of proposals signed by about 40 graduate stu dents. Included is a request that fines be levied on faculty mem bers as well as students, that names of borrowers holding books needed by someone else be re leased and that students be placed on the library committee. Future Joint Committee William Block, spokesman for the petitioners, agreed to the motion. Envisioned is a future joint committee which would have the power to determine and review library policy. Council members mentioned longer library hours and rules changes in the reserve book room as other goals to be sought. A letter from Carl Hintz, Uni versity librarian, was read which answered several of the propos als on the list. Hintz said books loaned to fac ulty members are subject to re call after 14 days and the li brary is trying to bill faculty members if they do not re spond. Hintz Disagrees Hintz said he docs not think borrowers’ names should be re leased because it would allow harassment by others who want ed a book from them. And he suggested that a stu dent committee be set up, but said the complaints listed are not among the functions of the committee, so it would be use less to put students on the regu lar library committee. Council members agreed that the present committee has too little power and drew up the proposal for a joint committee with full power of review. Several members noted that the matter may have to go to President Flemming if any change is to be accomplished. ASUO Vice’-Presldent Lee Bol linger said it might be the best step toward the community gov ernment idea. Students to Assist In Fast for Freedom Students throughout the coun try will participate in the Fifth Annual Thanksgiving Fast for Freedom on November 17. Students will voluntarily give up their evening meal in a co ordinated fast so that impover ished Negroes in the South may eat. The money thus saved will be contributed to a central fund which supports programs of food distribution and self-help co-op eratives in the South. Last year’s fast involved an estimated 75,000 students and raised over $26,000. This money was distributed to various proj ects through the Civil Rights desk of the U.S. National Student As sociation. Major support was provided by this money for the Poor Peo ple’s Co-operation, a group of 15 co-operatives run locally by Ne groes in Mississippi. These co - ops provide work in sewing, quilt ing, woodworking and production of leather goods. Last year’s funds also support ed a co-operative cement-block r ■ ■■ 1 ■■■ ■ ■ ■ ■ factory, which is being built In Greene County, Alabama. Mater ials from this factory will be used in the building of low-cost hous ing. . The rest of the money from last year’s fast went to support food distribution programs. Fite student workers are now workihg in South Carolina, organising such programs in counties where they do not already exist. Correction A paragraph in the story in Tuesday’s Emerald about food price protestors included two er rors. The paragraph quoting Bob Ferrar should read: “According to a Value Line survey, Safewa/s net profit after taxes showed a 40 per cent in crease in profits for the first half of this year. Dividend rates for the chains have really gone up,” he added.
