U Thant's Viet Nam Efforts Explained ny MAKIIIA M1KKHUUI) Fnw r.ild siafT Writer Martin Acker, associate profes sor of education, spoke to a Fac ulty Student Committee seminar on U Thant's cflorts to obtain a peaceful settlement in Viet Nam Tuesday. The purpose of this and other seminars to be held in the future is to provide people with infor mation about the war which is not readily available in local newspapers. Acker’s talk centered around an article by Mario Rossi about U Thant which appeared in the November 17 issue of the New York Review of Books. According to Acker the article portrayed U Thant as “a picture of a hobbled giant who faces im possible odds with unwarrantable optimism.” Acted As flo-Between U Thant has. according to Arker, acted in the capacity of a go-between because he felt that if the UN itself became involved in negotiations between great powers and failed to secure a settlement, it would "actually de stroy the UN." Acker cited the attempts of U Thant to bring about a settlement through confidential peace talks in a neutral country, which were refused by the United States, six months after they had been pro posed, on the grounds that they would undermine the morale of the South Vietnamese govern ment. He pointed out that at that nine houtn viet Nam was cnang ing governments on the average ; of every two months, and con cluded that “it only means that wc have no intention of entering into serious discussion.” Acker called U Thant optimis tic. He cited Thant’s continuing efforts to negotiate despite his own admission the situation was becoming increasingly hopeless each time the United States re fused to meet what Thant con siders three essential conditions for a successful conference. U Thant, Acker quotes the ar-, tide as saying, hoped that his, refusal to serve another term; would "serve to dramatize the failure of the United Nations to be effective when the peace was threatened.” Acker said the United States! has misunderstood Thant’s action , and has taken the attitude that j "We don’t care to listen to what you say but we’d like you to please stay.” 'Wizard' Appears On 'At Random' “The Wizard of Condon Hall,” alias Ray Hyman, professor of i psychology, will appear on “At i Random” at 7:15 p.m. today on | PL-3 and cable channel 11.

For the best in sandwiches Taylor's Across from the Co-op Senate Committee Rejects Random Selection Idea By Joanne Thompson ■SrarriUI Staff Writer The A S U O Reapportionment Committee suspended considera tion of a suggestion by Spencer Block, graduate in counseling, to select ASUO senators in a ran dom drawing. They dismissed the suggestion on the grounds that it would be ineffective. Departmental selection, propos ed by Gary Feuerberg, graduate student and Senate member, would provide for what he con siders a more fair representation of the graduate students. Feuerberg said that the gradu ate students, in order to be ade quately represented, should hold 25 per cent of Senate votes, since they comprise approximately one fourth of the student body. He suggested that graduate students be represented on a basis of majors, with one repre sentative elected from each of four major areas, physical sci ence, biological science, social science, and the humanities, with ! the possibility of further divi sions. This proposal, Feuerberg said,1 would increase the graduate stu- i dent’s interest in the ASUO, and would help to bring about more unity between graduate and un dergraduate students. He made no proposal, however, for the se lection of undergraduate Senate members, leaving that task to the “old system.” Another proposal was to make selection by living areas, both geographic and status-wise, with representatives being elected ac cording either to the particular area of campus in which they lived, or to the particular organi zation in which they live. The committee decided to post pone discussion of selection by interest group. The whole pur pose of reapportionment is, they noted, to “give the interest groups full opportunity for maximum access to the Senate.” Therefore, interest group selection could not be considered a valid means of selection. Block also mentioned the pos sibility of a bi-cameral system, with one of the two houses elected according to living area, and the other according to either depart mental or random selection. Another committee member proposed an increase in the size of the ASUO Senate from 35 members to 50 members. He sug gested an addition of 12 senators at large, ten of whom would be, in all practicality, representatives for off-campus students. These 10 would be off-campus students Flemming to Hold Open Office Hours President Flemming will hold open office hours from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. today in room 110 Johnson Hall. During those hours, students may see the President without an appoint ment.

He has also taught at the Uni versity of Chicago and at Benning ton College, and has been a res ident literary critic at Drew Uni versity and Pennsylvania State University.
