ene e meme and the truth shall make you free’ Vol. 1 No. 1 East Carolina University, P.O. Box 2516, Greenville, N.C. September 9, 1969 Once upon a time na land far away Once upon a time in a land far away, a long long time ago, there was a small quiet, peaceful school in a small, quiet, peaceful town. The voice of the students at this school was then known as THE TECH ECHO. The school is no longer quiet or small. It ts not altogether peaceful. Many changes have transpired during the transition from a teachers training school with a student body of 174 to the university of today. We are talking, of course, about the school in Greater Groovy Greenville. ECU is now a university making its presence felt across the state and across the nation. The voice of the students has also changed, matching the growth and change of the school. One of the original issues contained prominent stories on a meeting in Atlanta, Ga. and a meeting of the Athletic Assoctation on campus. Also inclu was a report of a sermon delivered by the president of the schdol on “Christian Education.” ~ ous’ seers ree we ete esnme AS nhl Anvséi mn ane y Today's issue contains stariés ON anortion ¢ Dirt control, on-— -yYear at Students on academic committee of the university. : Aiso included ts a highly controversial reprint entitled, ‘The Student As Nigger.” Just as the University today is focusing on more than the training of teachers, so the student press is focusing on more than being a newspaper bulletin board. Just as the name of the University has been changed to reflect the change in its purpose and focus, so the newspaper's name has been changed to reflect its DuUPrPOSE al i focus ue we present a new word to represent the voice of the students. We invite your response. \We chose the word Fountainhead because it best reflected the feelings of the staff on what our newspaper should be. The definition of fountainhead is, ‘’a place of ve Origin or issue. tas fant (th ce? are of se neescbinan We feel this word is appticab 5 newspaper because the student newspaper should be the origin or source of news and ideas for the student. it is the duty of the newspaper to focus upon the local, state and national issues affecting students here. It is our duty to present to the students a qualified reporting of past events and advance notice of upcoming situations. It is our duty to be the primary source of all news affecting students and to do so fairly, justly and with integrity. We feel the word Fountainhead represents this duty. lo or “~ cc tv a THE STAFF “ students included on academic committees By WAYNE EADS Student membership on academic committees is an issue currently being considered by many universities across the nation. The Committee on Committees of the Faculty Senate, in its program on the analysis and development of the academic committee structure of the Senate, proposed last year and this summer, the matter of students on academic committees of the Faculty Senate. The members of the Committee studied the question: Will the participation of students in this phase of academic governance make education more relevant for the individual student and enhance the overall educational program of the university? Twofold study method In their report to the Faculty Senate the committee showed their study had consisted of a twofold approach. A questionaire was sent to a number of universities asking for information relating to this matter. This showed a sample of the national consensus. Local feeling was sampled through an open hearing on the matter. The questionnaire was sent to 85 schools in the United States. More than three-fourths of the fifty-nine replies received stated that students were allowed to be members on some academic committees. According to the report, ‘Qualifications for students to serve on academic committees varied, but the trend was toward the requirements that a student be a full-time undergraduate or an upperclassman. At most of the institutions, students were selected for service on academic committees through the independent action of the students, but about one school in five indicated that the selection would be subject to the approval of the administration...” Favorable replys Eleven written statements were received by the committee. Ten of these were from faculty members and the other was from the SGA. All of these statements were favorable to the proposition of student participation. To quote excerpts from the report: ‘| believe that such a policy (student membership on academic committees) would promote the students to a position they deserve in the university community, enhance the relevance of the University’s academic program, and enlarge the channels by which student opinion may be heard,” ‘’...academic planning should take full advantage of our student body as a resource of information concerning effectiveness; “’...the academic climate can be improved by interchange cf ideas between faculty and students which will result from students being added to most of our Faculty Senate committees.” AAUP approval At the open hearing on the matter, attended by about fifty persons, the President of the East Carolina chapter of the American Association of University Professors spoke and said the AAUP supported the addition of student members on the Faculty Senate committees. The SGA also sent a spokesman to the meeting to speak in favor of student members. After examining the information available to them, the members of the Committee recommended that at least one student member be added to each of the following committees: admissions, calendar, credits, Curréculum, continuing education, library, student recruitment, student guidance, teacher education and career, vocational education, and student shcolarship, fellowship, and financial aid. Committee recom mendations They also recommended that students have full voting rights on these committees and that there be one student afternate for each committee. Additionally, the student member of the Committee of Student Scholarship, Fellowship, and Financial Aid shoutd be a holder of an East Carolina University academic scholarship. The Committee also suggested that the SGA have authority for establishing procedures for selecting these members, and that these recommendations be put into effect during Fall Quarter, 1969. effect. Student members of these committees are to be appointed by the President of the SGA and approved by the Legislature. Applications are to be made by interested students to the SGA office on the third floor of Wright Annex. Albuquerque, N.M. (IP) New hours and a key check out system have been adopted by the Associated Women Students (AWS) at the University of New Mexico. An AWS pamphiet outlines the regulations and expectations of the “self-determined hours:"’ Due to the variability of entry times, students will need to observe quiet hours carefully. Quiet hours start at 7 p.m. An eligible student (one who has an AWS identification card) who wishes to be away from the dorm after hours must check out a key from the main desk of her dorm. Special hours have been designed for key check-out. East student wil! be responsible for checking out and returning her own key. No one may check out or return a key for another girl. It was also emphasized that under the key system, dorm security is left up to the residents. immediately upon returning to the hall, the key will be deposited in the key slot. All keys must be returned to the dorm by 8:30 am. the following day. Any student allowing any other student (including freshmen) to enter the hall will be held responsibie for an illegal entry unless the other girl has her own key.

Of the 3,000 women Baird has helped get abortions, none have died, Baird said. According to N.J. Berrill, an internationally known developmental biologist, between one and two million women undergo illegal abortions in the United States each year At least 4,000 of them die Berrill also says that about 17 out of every 1,000 babies born in the U.S. each year are itlegitimate. Berrill estimates that another 200,000 adolescents are aborted illegally, or attempt to induce a miscarriage themselves. The abortion rate for unmarried women is four times death as high as for married women Baird says he personally ts opposed to abortion. How Is it, then, that he helped these 3,000 women to obtain illegal ones “Every woman should have the right to make this decision herself,’ he said. ‘Every child should have as his birthriqht to be wanted and loved.

Here some states have passed, and others laws which regulation of during are considering, liberalize the abortions. ”’ Baird said his society will not refer any woman who shows any desire to bear the child, and each woman is questioned closely on this point Baird said the abortion is ‘‘a very simple operation.” ‘‘There’s no incision, no Cutting, a trained specialist gently scrapes the walls of the uterus.

This system is the result of a trial transit system that was in operation last spring quarter for fifteen days. During that trial, the Raleigh City Coach Lines provided two buses for a total of $4,000, including the cost of maintenance, insurance, two drivers, and the fuel. That system was a huge success. During the summer, the Student Government Association, represented by regular term President John Schofield, and the Raleigh City Coach Lines signed an agreement for the institution of a transit system for East~ Carolina University. The agreement, signed on July 25, 1969, provided for the utilization of two buses during the nine month period beginning September 10, 1969 and ending on May 25, 1970. The buses will have a seating capacity of not less than 45 persons and will run on two schedules, similar to the two summer routes which ran between the girls’ dormitories and the classroom buildings and between the boys’ dormitories, Buccanneer Courts, Pitt Plaza, Minges, buildings. and the classroom Bus leaves every hour* from — 25 till 7:00 a.m. — 4:00 p.m. daily GREEN SCHEDULE Leave - 25 till ....Green Dorm Area Arrive - 22 till ..

The transit system is financed by a two dollar requisition from the student activity fee and by the Student Government Association. The SGA has agreed to pay the company $128.00 per day per bus for the service of the two vehicles. Additional charges will be slight, if any, and will be carried by the SGA. This new transportation system for the students should help to reduce the traffic and parking problem so apparent on campus. The increasing numbers of students who need to use the buses for transportation to Minges Coliseum and other points that cannot be traveled on foot in ten minutes make the buses a welcome relief.

Student government involves participatory By WAYNE EADS Leadership of the student body at East Carolina University is vested in the Student Government Association. tt is a governing body which is modeled after the basic concepts of democratic government. The SGA summer administration this summer voted unanimously to abolish the separate summer school SGA and institute a twelve month system of student government. Structure of government For the benefit of those freshmen students and transfer students, as well as those who are simply returning after a long absence, the organization of the SGA is similar to that of the United States government, but on a smaller scale and modified to fit the needs of a university. The executive branch of the ECU student government consists of a president, a vice-president, a secretary, a treasurer, and a_ historian. Qualifications for these offices can be found in the 1969-1970 "EVERY DAY IS A HAPPY DAY PHYSICALLY AND FINANICALLY IF YOU DRINK AND EAT. e Mill Outlet Cloth chet ne. eee edition of The Key, annual campus publication. The present executive officers are: president, John Schofield; vice-president, Bob Whitley; secretary, Carolyn Breediove; treasurer, Gary Gasperini; and historian, Sip Beamon. — The second branch of the SGA is the legislative. This branch consists of representatives elected by the student body to serve in the Legislature. Forty-one representatives are elected to that body. The Legislature is the main policy-making part of the SGA. It has power over matters concerning appropriations for campus publications, SGA agencies, salaries of SGA officers, and other expenses that the Legislature deems in the interest of the student body and the academic community. Other powers The Legislature also has power to override presidential vetoes, toapprove or reject presidential appointments, to make laws for the governing of emocracy the student body, and to make other laws that it deems in the interest of promoting the general welfare of the student body. Judicial branch The third branch of the SGA is the judicial. This branch consists of a number of courts ranging from the Men's and Women's Residence Councils at the bottom of the jurisdictional ladder to the Review Board at ‘the top of the system.

On the same day ‘another teacher began by informing his class that he does nct like beards, moustaches tong hair on boys, or capri pants on girls, and will not tolerate any of that in his class. The class incidentally, consisted mostly of high school teachers. Auschwitz Educational Approach Even more discouraging than this Auschwitz approach to education is the fact that the students take it. They haven‘t gone through twelve years of public schools for omni They’v learned one thing and perhaps only one thing during those twelve years They've forgotten their algebra. They’re hopelessly vague about chemistry and physics. They've grown to fear and resent literature. They write like they’ve been lobotomized. But, Jesus, can they follow orders! Freshmen come up to me with an essay and ask if | want it folded and whether their name should be in the upper right hand corner. And | September 9, 1969 want to cry and kiss them and caress their poor, tortured heads. Students don’t ask that orders make sense. They give up expecting things to make sense long before they leave elementary school. Things are true because the teacher says they're true. At a very early age, we all learn to accept “two truths’ as did certain medieval churchmen. Outside of class, things are true to your tongue, your fingers, your stomach, your heart. Inside class, things are true by reason of authority. And that’s just fine because you don’t care anyway. Miss Wiedemeyer tells you a noun is a person, place, or thing. So let it be. You don't give a rat's ass; she doesn’t give a rat’s ass. The important things is to please her. Back in kindergarten, you tound out that teachers only love children who stand in nice straight lines. And that’s where it’s been ever since. What school amounts to, then, for white and black kids alike, is a 12-year course in how to be slaves. What else could explain what | see in a freshman class? They've got that slave mentality: obliging and ingratiating on the surface but hostile and resistant underneath. As do black slaves, students vary in their awareness of what’s going on. Some recognize their own ,ut-on for what it is and even let their rebellion break through now and then. Others -- including most of the ‘‘good students” -- have been more deeply brainwashed. They swallow the bullshit with greedy mouths. They’re pathetically eage: to be pushed around.

Some students at Cal State L.A. are expert con artists who know perfectly well what’s happening. They want the degree or the 2-S and play the game. If their egos are strong enough, they cheat a lot. And, of course, even the Toms are angry down deep somewhere. But it comes out in passive rather than active aggression. They're unexplainable thick-witted and subject to frequent spells of laziness. They misread simple questions. They spend their nights mechanically outlining history chapters while meticulously failing to comprehend a word of what's in them. The saddest cases among both black slaves and student slaves are the ones who have mso throughly introjected their masters’ values that their anger is all turned inward. At Cal State, these are the kids for whom every low grade is torture, who stammer and @shake when they speak to a professor, who go through an emotional crisis every time Io Ssthey're called on in class. You can recognize them easily at finals time. Their faces are Bitestooned with fresh pimples; their bowels boil audibly across the room. If there really 4was a Last Judgement, the parents and teachers who created these wrecks would burn in hell. So students are niggers. It’s time to find out why, and to do this, we have to take a x Jong look at Mr. Charlie. Professors afraid to better status? f The teachers | know best are college professors. Outside the classroom and taken as a group, their most striking characteristic is timidity. They're short on balls. Just look at their working conditions. At a time when even migrant workers have E begun to fight and win, college professors are afraid to make more than a token effort to improve on their pitiful economic status. In California state colleges, the faculties are “screwed regularly and vigorously by the Governor and Legislature and yet they still 4 don't offer any solid resistance. They lie flat on their stomachs with their pants down, mumbling catch -phrases like ‘professional dignity” and ‘‘meaningful dialogue.’ Professors were no different when | was an undergraduate at UCLA during the McCarthy era; it was like a cattle stampede as they rushed to cop out. And in more recent years, | found that my being arrested in sit-ins brought from my colleagues not so much approval or condemnation as open-mouthed astonishment. “You could |_se your job!” Now of course there’s the Vietnamese war. It gets some opposition from a few teachers. Some support it. But a vast number of professors who know perfectly well what's happening are copping out again. And in the high schools, you can forget it. Stillness reigns. I’m not sure why teachers are so chickenshit. It couid be that academic training itself forces a split between thought and action. It might also be that the tenured security of a teaching job attracts timid persons and, furthermore, that teaching, like police work, pulls in persons who are unsure of themselves and need weapons and other external trappings of authority. At any rate, teachers ARE short on ba Is. And, as Judy Eisenstein has eloquently pointed out, the classroom offers an artificial and protected environment in which they can exercise their will to power. Your neighbors may drive a better car; gas station attendants may intimidate you; your wife may dominate you; the State Legislature may shit on’ you; but in the classroom, by God, students do what you say ~ or else. The grade is a hell of a weapon. It may not rest on your hip, potent and rigid like a cop’s gun, but in the long run it’s more powerful. At your personal whim -- any time you choose -- you can keep 35 students up for nights and have the pleasure of seeing them walk into the classroom pasty-faced and red-eyed carrying a sheaf of typewritten pages, with title page, MLA footnotes, and margins set at 15 and 91. Fear of students The general timidity which causes teachers to make niggers of their students usually - fear of the students themselves. After all, students are includes a more specific fear - d in front of them, knowing that their different just like black people. You stand expose! interests, their values, and their language are different from yours. To make matters worse, you may suspect that you yourself are not the most engaging of persons. What can protect you from their ridicule and scorn? Respect for Authority. That's what. ie s the policeman’s gun again. The white bwana’s pithhelmet. So you flaunt your authority. You wither whisperers with a murderous glance. You crush objectors with erudition and heavy irony. And worst of all, you make your own attainments seem not accessible but awesomely remote. You conceal your massive ignorance ~ and parade a slender learning. You might also want to keep in mind that he was a nigger once himself and has never really gotten over it. And there are more causes, some of which are better described in it’s not hard. But in the hole lot of niggers. And what makes this ce than the black man of getting out of ‘Particularly grim is that the student has less chan he’s in it. That, more or less, is what's 2 this bag. Because the student doesn’t even know Fountainhead las nigger... good.” Page 11 For one thing, damn little education takes place in the schools. How could it? You can’t educate slaves; you can only train them. Or, to use an even uglier word, you can only program them. Educationai oppression is trickier to fight than racial oppression. If you're a black rebel, they can’t exile you; they either have to intimidate you or kill you. But in high school or college, they can just bounce you out of the field. And they do. Rebel students and renegade faculty members get smothered or shot down with devastating accuracy. In high school, it’s usually the student who gets it; in college, it’s more often the teacher. Others get tired of fighting college, for a rebel, is a little like going North, for a Negro. You can’t really get away from it so you might as well stay and raise hell. How do you raise hell? That’s a whole other article. But just for a start, why not stay with the analogy? What have black people done? They have, first of all, faced the fact of their slavery. They’ve stopped kidding themselves about an eventual reward in the Great Watermelon Patch in the Sky. They’ve organized; they've decided to get freedom now, and they've started taking it. Students, like black people, have immense power. They could, theoretically, insist on participating in their own education! They could make academic freedom bilateral. They could teach their teachers to thrive on love and admiration, rather than fear and respect, and to lay down their weapons. Students could discover community. And they could learn to dance on the IBM cards. They could make museum. They could raze one set of walls after another and let life come blowing into the classroom. They could raze another set of walls and let education come blowing out and flood the streets. They could turn the classroom into where it’s at -- a ‘‘field of action” as Peter Marin describes it. And believe it or not, they could study eagerly and learn prodigiously for the best of all possible reasons -- their own reasons. They could. Theoretically. They have the power But only in a very few places, like Berkeley, have they even begun to think about using it. By GERALD FARBER, reprinted from DAILY SPECTRA, Tuesday, April 4, 1967.

Its leadership included Robert Adams as_ president, Craig Souza as vice president, and Nancy Cannady as secretary. Wayne Eads was elected speaker of the 11-member Legislature. The election was unique in that ballots were both printed and counted by the computer, making results known just several hours after the polls closed. Opening the Soda Shop at 7:30 a.m. instead of 8:30 a.m. was one of the summer administrations’s major campaign promises which was actualized. Blue books and pens were placed in the Soda Shop for sale to students with 8 a.m. classes who needed supplies for the early classes. Fall students will have the same benefits. John Schofield, current SGA President, signed the contract for a permanent transit system for the ECU campus to aid students to and from residences and classes. The height of the summer SGA‘'s action came when it abolished itself. A 12-month system of student government was initiated. The Legislature was unanimous in its decision and a student referendum which followed favored the abolition by a three to one vote. ,..entative plans for a large, new student union building were released this summer. The plans, drawn by a Raleigh architectural firm, call for two large lounge areas, a 12-lane bowling alley, separate | ee a a ee 2 SS rooms for table tennis and billiards, and a large soda shop. The Centra! Ticket Office, ntral the Student Government Association, the photo lab, and all student publications will also be housed in the building. A site on Eighth St. between the library and James St. has been approved by the Board of Trustees. The plans have been under study during the summer by a committee composed of representatives of the administration, The SGA, and the University Union. The committee is trying to decide what type of facilities are needed and will suggest changes in the plans. A poll of students has been Vurannicau dean of women ‘or 19 years.

It stands just west of the University’s first 10-story women’s dormitory which was named after the late Mary H. Greene, long time professor of English and former director of the ECU News Bureau.

Jenkins at ECU’s 60th annual commencement exercises last May. Jerkins said he recommended that the facility be named after Dean White following numerous requests by students that the retiring dean be honored. Approval of the request came from the ECU Board of Trustees. “This is a fitting honor for Dean Ruth White,” Jenkins said, ‘‘in recognition of her outstanding service to East Carolina over the past 32 years.” Dean White had served as SOUND, Unem'Té 408 EVANS STREET GREENVILLE, N.

Raeford Bland, group spokesman for the ‘‘concerned citizens,’’ said that the purpose of the demonstration was to “affirm our faith and belief in the Constittion and particularly in the Bill of Rights.” The group had about 500 copies of the Bill of Rights and one sign which read, ‘‘Get Your Free Copy of the Bill of Rights Here.” Participants offered the document to passersby from noon until 6 p.m. When the group first assembled early Friday afternoon, acting Police Chief Thomas Gladson informed them that they would not be allowed to demonstrate because they had not obtained a permit. The leaders of the group explained that they were not planning to demonstrate anywhere except on the post office steps. No permit is needed to demonstrate on Federal property. Several demonstrators noted that the police seemed unsure of the size of the demonstration. They were told that the police had alerted 70 state patrol officers. The group was warned that if they displayed their sign on other than Federal property, the officers would arrest them. During the day patrol cars maintained regular surveillance of the demonstrators and the Mobile Crime Lab photographer took several pictures. When some of demonstrators asked why the pictures were taken, Gladson reportedly said, ‘‘So that we will know who to look for if you get Out of hand.”’ tie dean of academic affairs, has been given the new title of Provost.

The presidents said in their statement that they ‘‘are faced with crises in increased demands for relevance and enrichment of our educational programs for greater numbers of black students.

Ironically, dominated by Gaullist factions The masses, clearly, were not converted. - Despite the failure to revolutionize the political, economic, and_ social structures, the students and workers did gain valuable experience in opening communications between their groups and in establishing organizationa! units, the “Action Committees,’’ for the prosecution of future struggles. Daniel and Gabriel Cohn-Bendit were contracted by a capitalist publishing house to document the events of the revolution from the students’ point of view Recognizing their inability to characterize the struggle in any sort of historical perspective, the authors have attempted to analyze revolution from its beginnings in the March 22 movement for student control of the university to the massive strike of French industrial workers which forced the call for a new election.

The students’ erection of barricades and their willingness to defend them is symbollic of the way in which ideology is transformed into action.

Chon-Bendit concludes that both the French and Soviet Communist Parties, as well as the Maoists and the Trotskyites, have removed themselves from the goals of the workers by establishing ‘‘class’’ bureaucricies which purpost to represent the people but in actuality represent only the bureaucrats. Reasons for failure Now a student of law in Frankfurt, Cohn-Bendit has no illusions as to the causes of the failure of the May-June revolution. It failed because the students and the workers failed to achieve a level of solidarity commensurate with the movement's goals; it failed because the apotugists for the Gaullist regime, in the form of the Communist-controlled labor union leaders and French Communists, were allowed to sway the masses and lead them from their immediate opportunities. This book was writeen and published in three languages so that the opportunities will not be overlooked the next time, so that the lessons learned on the streets of Paris will not be forgotten, so that the people will never forget their inherent power over the decision-making process. For one glorious moment during the evening of May 24, 1968, the people of France, the workers and the students, were capable of overthrowing the government and occupying its buildings with little resistance available from either the CRS or the army. But the workers allowed themselves to be persuaded to give up their opportunity for a bloodless revolution, and the moment was lost -- perhaps forever.

His attitude, therefore, is not that of an idolatoi but of a colleague. Newfield’s aim is to correct the ‘’mistaken public image” of Robert Kennedy by personal testimony derived from association with Kennedy during the years ‘‘between the gunshots of Dallas and Los Angeles.” The book is intended to be a political record of Robert Kennedy's unfinished transition from the ‘‘old politics’ to the ‘‘new politics,’’ but it is also a record of the “changes and convulsions in America between 1963 and 1968—a half-decade of war, violence, racism, and social chaos—that first threatened, then educated, and finally began to change Robert Kennedy.” A passionate record Newfield’s testiment is passionate, without invoking sentiment, and emotional, without resorting to morbidity or excessive dramatization. Newfield’s attitude is indicative of the spirit of the ‘‘new’’ journalism, the journalism of involvement. As he states in his ‘foreword’: ‘My goal here is to be fair and truthful, but not neutra!.”’ Consequently, the reportage of Robert Kerinedy’s political odyssey and his last 81-day campaign reflects both the personality of the author and the subject. The author's analyses of personalities and events is invaluable in elucidating the true character of the enigmatic Kennedy. Many of Newfield’s observations do much to expose the popular stereotypes of Robert Kennedy was not ruthless, the author tells us; but rather, he was impatient with the ‘‘small contrivances of politics,’ the egotism and speciai interests of other politicians, and the intransigency of certain parts of the government. A politician of the people Robert Kennedy was a politician of the people, born to affluence but educated by poverty and human suffering. He drew his strength—and his direction—from the needs of America’s dispossessed: the poor, the black, and the young. Kennedy was not a saint, but a “conflicted, vulnerable man” who was often troubled by the conflict between his own morality and political necessity: “He was ‘a good and decent man,’ as his younger brother eulogized him, but he allowed himself to be trapped in the compromising snakepit of American politics and so he did things he must have been ashamed of.” He was aware of his contradictions, his past record and his future goals. When he objected to United States’ involvement in Vietnam in February, 1968, he repudiated the past for the sake of the future. He admitted that he, and his brother, had been wrong in strengthening U.S. participation, and he called for a change in policy. Confronting Lyndon Johnson When he confronted Lyndon Johnson, he defied precedent by risking fragmentation of his party in an election year. His actions in the last vears of his life made manifest his changing political it showed that Robert Kennedy was not d to past mistakes, rather, he was ts for the future views. Furthermore, afraid of change, was not boun | motivated by what he felt to be the requiremen peace and fulfillment of the American people.

The Air Force will abandon it ROTC program at Harvard and Dartmouth on June 30, 1971. The Navy has indicated it will leave Harvard by 1971 and Dartmouth by 1973. The Army has not announced specific dates for removing units from Harvard and Dartmouth, but a spokesman said plans for the withdrawals were nearing completion. The end to ROTC at the two institutions was spelled out after faculty votes to terminate the programs. The Navy also plans to end its ROTC programs at Brown and Columbia Universities in 1972. Future Discussed In addition to the announced withdrawals, spokesmen for all three services confirmed that they were negotiating with other institutions about the future of ROTC units there. The Navy listed Cornell, Princeton, Stanford, Tufts, and Yale Universities and the University of Pennsylvania as those where 752-2175 discussions were taking place. The Army and Air Force did not identify specific iistitutions. Most of the negotiations concern academic credit for ROTC courses and faculty status for military officers who teach them. Although the war in Vietnam has generated many of the student protests over ROTC on the campuses, the issues of credit and faculty status have been the main targets of faculty home to a sound sleep, from the day’s labor, ind harves everina lean on the fence by the full field silhouetted sucking a spear of whea et tt a $e
