In an interview following his
•on to office by a slight margin of votes, Warren Coverdell,
new LCC student body president
said he was "happy with the results, although disappointed with
the small turn-out of voters."
Coverdell said that the major
responsibility of his office is to
the students. He outlined three
major objectives of the office.
I. Effective communications
between students and student government.
2. A well-rounded, varied
student activities program. Since
students at a community college
are of such a wide variety, Coverdell would like to see diversified activities which would not
be aimed at just one age group.
3. More frequent activities
throughout the school year. Coverdell says the third point coincides with the second. He said
many students have complained
that they don't get anything for
their student body fees.
In a further statement, Coverde 11 said, '' The accomplishment ·
of these three objectives alone,
as well as regular duties, will
be a full load for the new Senate. However, the continuance of
John Hill's tedious work for low
cost student housing will be of

el

primary importance."
Coverdell also said that he
hopes that any students with complaints, suggestions or opinions,
will come to him personally, as
well as to their senator. "With
even this minor cooperation between the students and their government," the new president
said, "an efficient job can be
done."
Coverdell, a Vietnam veteran,
was discharged from the navy in
1968. He was graduated from
North Eugene High School in
1966. He is a Eugene resident.

LCC to sponsor plank
at OCCA convention

LCC is sponsoring a plank'to
be considered for inclusion in
the legislative platform of the
Oregon Community College Association (OCCA) at the OCCA
convention May 7-9 at Pendleton.

The plank will appeal to the
state to pay the educational costs
of enrollment spill-over from
state four year colleges and universities to community colleges. It amounts to a move to
block prospec"tlve lncreases ln
local property taxes to educate
.students unable to get into the
four-year institutions because of
potential Legislature-imposed
enrollment lids.
LCC's Board of Education on
January 14 declared itself opposed to the enrollment lid at
state four-year institutions. The

lid would send too many college
transfer students to the community colleges and would shift
part of the cost of educating them
from the state to local property
tax payers, the Board argued.
The lid also would jar the community college enrollment balance by reducing the proportions
of st u de n t s enrolled in v o cational-technical programs. At
larger community colleges such
as LCC, the additional increments of college transfer students would not improve either
program comprehensibility or
cost efficiency.
The OCCA is not expected to
take a position opposing the enrollment lid at the four-year institutions, since only LCC among
the 12 community colleges nas
declared itself anti-lid.

Abortion and Death

by Mark Christensen

There has been much discussion and no conclusion concerning
the subject of "When does the
human being, or individual, actually come into existence during
development inside the mother"?
This question seems to be extremely important to people, both
advocates and opponents, concerned with the moralistic values
connected with abortion.
But I think that there is a fatal
flaw in the basic reasoning of
the question itself. When we ask
when this conceived creation becomes an individual, we are talking about a very much alive form
of existence which has the properties and potentialities of a
full-grown human being. Simply
because the physical features do
not at that time resemble a fullgrown baby certainly does not
mean that he is subhuman or
"not real." Making this kind
of rationalization is like saying
a five-year-old child is not a
real human being because he does
not have the physical proportions of an adult.
What is the difference between
a small child and a large adult?
It is a matter of development.

What is the difference between the
new creation of i fertilized egg
and a newborn baby? It is a
matter of development.
In
essence we have one and the
same--a new life source. Whether this new life source has
just been created, as in the fertilized egg; whether he is in
his first, second, fourth, or ninth
month of development; or whether
he is newly born is completely
irrelevant. He is still the same
thing--a very new, a very unique, creation of life.
In essence, when the mother's
egg is fertilized we have inexistence a human being, alive and
just as much real as you or me.
To deny this human being the
right of existence is what is commonly called murder in our society. To have indiscriminate
abortion simply at the wish of the
mother and consent of two doctors is being outrageously unjust to that individual inside the
mother. In effect he is being
put to death by a kangaroo court.
If these individuals are not
wanted, emphasis should be placed on means to avoid their
c re at i o n, not on annihilating
them.

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS

1r

t?

-~

The Fanatic
I'd just finished my second cup of coffee when
he sat down at my table in the student union, looked
me straight in the eye and said, '' Do you know
Jesus?"
It kind of caught me off e;uard.
"Do you mean personally?" I askei I realized my blunder immediately. Why n, / hold a
piece of batter-fried flounder in front offa starving alley cat? I waited for the tirade of; religious
terminology. Nothing. He didn't pounce. He didn't
quote scripture. He just say there. And smiled.
"Let me get us some coffee,:' he said.
"Okay."
There, I'd done it again. Talk about masochistic tendencies! Never, never do you let a
staff member of Campus Crusade for Christ
buy you a cup of coffee. I'd heard stories. They
get some sort of mystical hold over you if you
drink their coffee. Besides, it was embarrassing. Ever since I'd enrolled in psychology I'd
been waiting for one of these guys to come after me. So what did I do when my moment arrived? I opened up like a rosy-cheeked freshman and let the fanatic buy me a cup of coffee.
Toe guy returned with the coffee, but this
time I was ready for him. "Do you take cream?"
he asked, still smiling. He looked so blissfully
naive in his freshly washed Levi's and University of Oregon sweatshirt that I almost felt
guilty giving him "the treatment." But anyone
who spends his time talking about God should
expect to get both barrels.
"How about sugar?"
I met his question with a stare of calculated disinterest. (It was really good. I'd been
practicing since fall term, trying to cultivate
a look of passive disgust.)
"My name is Brad," he said, holding out his
hand.
I shook his hand condescendingly, being careful to withhold my name. (I'd heard that they take
your name and feed it into a huge computer somewhere in San Bernardino where you remain on
file until Judgement Day, or something like that.)
Next in his plan of attack would be a good
three to five minutes of small talk, after which
he would preach a half-hour sermon on the wages
of sin.
Once again the Crusader threw a brick into
my carefully conceived defense measures. "You
know," he said, "I've been turned off about religion for a long time."
What? This definitely was not going according to plan.
"It's my opinion," he went on, "that reliQn is the opiate of the people. But getting
to know Jesus is more than a religion--it's a

relationship!''
I pulled the freshman trick again. ''What do
you mean?" I said. Idiot! Idiot! I became violently
angry at myself. There I was, the self-assured
psych major all but on my knees begging a religious fanatic to throw his propaganda at me.
"Well," he laughed, "contrary to popular belief, Jesus is a real Person. And He's alive."
I looked f ram side to side. What if someone
overheard? What if this guy stood up and started
singing The Alleluia Chorus or something? How
could I face the people at the Psych Department knowing that I'd allowed myself to talk to
one of the Jesus-people. I found myself nibbling
at the collar of my shirt, a nervous habit I
thought I'd abandoned as a sophomore in high
school.
"W-what do you mean, alive?" I stammered.
Another imbeilic question. Suddenly my delicately
polished vocabulary seemed to have reduced itself to two-syllable babblings.
"I just mean that Jesus is God, but He can
be a Friend, too." he said. "He's changed my
life."
The typical Christian line. I should have been
able to shoot five-foot holes through him. I
should have been able to point out his oversimplified thought patters, his narrow-minded
biases, his obvious emotional insecurity--but the
guy almost had me 'in tears! (He had absolutely
no right.to sit there looking so secure!)
"I want you to know that I really appreciated
openness," he said, stirring his coffee. "So
many people are afraid to admit that they have
a need for God."
Aauuugh! I broke the pencil I'd been clutching
with two hands under the table. I don't need
anything, I told myself. I don't need to use
Christianity as an emotional crutch! I am self
sufficient!
"We're all human," he said, smiling that alarmingly sincere smile of his. (Most uncomfortable. It was as if he knew something that
I didn't.) "We all have a tendency to throw up
intellectual smoke screens to mask the real
emptiness we feel inside."
So I sat there in the middle of the student
union, tightly grasping the halves of a broken
pencil, listening to a simple-minded religious
fancatic tell me, a psych major, that I should
open my mind to the truth. It was too much. I
had to put a stop to it.
"How about some more coffee?"
"Okay." (No!)
"I don't think I caught your name."
HLarry," I heard myself tell him. "My name
is Larry."

Letter to the Editor
To the Editor:
Last Wednesday our college
had A.S.B. Elections. I volunteered to act as precinct committeeman. I spent a whole evening
from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. helping
to finalize the election. I should
have been studying; but I felt it
was a privilege and duty.
Toe election happened to fall
on Earth Day, the day everyone
was supposed to help clean up
our environment. But it seems
as though most people that attend L. C. C forgot that people
control the Earth's environment,
so they did not care enough to
exercise the one and only TRUE
right they have in this U.S.A! That
is to use their POWER of the
"VOTE."
Out of some 6,000 students
enrolled at L. C. C., only a little
more that 400 votes were cast!
And of theses, there were a
great many mistakes! It seems
that students do not care "How"
or "If" they VOTE. And yet
they are asking the state of
Oregon to lower the voting age

to 19, in hopes of having a say
as to how the U.S. government
is run. These people would have
us get involved in cleaning up
our Mother Earth, but will not
help build or exercise an opinion as to the established system that has given them this
right, and has carried this nation to greatness for almost 200
year!
This I say to all those whose
student body cards are blank:
You have no right to ask anybody to help you get anything
when you will not share the
load! It is like asking your best
friend to jump off a mountain for
you, to see if it hurts. It does,
and I am ashamed before God
that people do not care enough
about their freedom to protect
it! For the lack of votes, money
that will keep this college open
and free to teach a proven way
of life could be demolished.
"Next time": Stand up and be
counted! Care how you vote! Do
it correctly! Make it count! But
please, "VOTE!"

The ZPG organization is concerned that "the quality of our
life is rapidly deteriorating because of the effects of too many
people." It is also concerned
about the number of people in
the world who are dying of starvation, by the United Nations
estimate, to be about ten thousand people each day.
Freely available birth control
methods are ZPG's answer to
this ever - increasing problem.
These, they say, should include
'' all types of contraception, voluntary sterilization, and voluntary abortion."
Their main goal is "to bring
about zero population growth in
the United States of America
and everywhere in the . entire
World as soon as possible."
This goal is set for the year
1980 in the USA and the year
1990 in tbP. World.

LCC researchers· study plant responses
By Doris Ewing ,
Does your philodendron plant
get excited when you threaten to
cut off one of its leaves? Do
your house plants die because
you ignore the rn? Or do t h e y
thrive on love?
Evidence seems to point to
"something" in living cells that
responds to emotional and physi~al stimulation.
Research ranging from '' just
for interest" to "scientific" and
based on discoveries by Cleve
Backster of New York, a retired CIA polygraph (lie detector)
expert, has been carried out at
LCC since Spring Term, 1969,
said Jay Marston, instructor in
biological sciences.
In February of 1966 Backster
accidentally discovered that his
office philodendron reacted, under certain conditions, in a way
that might be called ''emotional."
Backster wanted to determine
how rapidly water would rise
from the Poots of the leaves of
the philodendron after the plant
had been watered. By attaching
the electrical plates (electrodes)
of the polygraph to the leaves,
the instrument c o u Id record
changes in moisture content.
Backster had expected the
polygraph to record an upward
movement as the moisture in
the philodendron leaf increased.
Instead, the plant showed what
Backster felt might be considered
an "emotional" response to a

stress situation.

Student housing questionnaires disappear

by Dons Ewmg
A partial investigation into the
problem of low-cost housing---a
leading c O ncer n of LCC students---reached a dead-end recently when several thousand
survey forms disappeared after
being completed during Spring
• t t·
Term reg1s
ra 10n.

An estimated two to three thousand student housing questionnaires were reported missing by
Registrar Robert Marshall.
The questionnaires were designed by a non-profit student
organization, Willamette Developers, Inc., to provide information on which to base government
loan applications for housing development aid. The deadline for
applications was
I.
According to Marshall, the
survey forms were handed out
with registration materials, but
were not considered part of the
official registration procedure
and were not required of students.
Registration began March 16 in
the gym.
Students were to place completed forms in a large box
labeled for the purpose. Marshall
said the box was marked, though
perhaps not plainly.
On Friday of registration week,
March 20, the Registration Office
workers removed tub files, registration packets, other equipment and office supplies, took
them back to the Registrar's
office and locked them up.

Marshall said, all the registration materials and equipment had
been removed. The room was
cleaned and set up for class.
All paper, including the forms,
was gone.
.
Marshall said he assumed the

In respect to a rumor which
implied that the loss was deliberate Marshall said "It was
certainly nothing intenti~nal ,,
•
Marston Morgan, Director of
Institutional Research, who had
been closely associated with the
survey in an advisory capacity
to former Student Housing Chairman John Hill, said he "was
convinced the loss was not by
design" and that ''no malice was
involved. It was an unfortunate
blunder," he stated.
Of course, the students are
frustrated," he said. "They feel
the administration has ignored
them and that it (the administration) has lost essential information. The students are up
tight, and legitimately so."
The administration has, with
few e x c e pt ions, maintained a
"hands off" policy on the question
of student housing.

Hill said that about three weeks

information could be run through

housing.

This was, ac~ording to Mo~g~n,
an unusually high and surprismg
figure. It had been assumed that
the majority of students would
be living at home with their parents or be married and in their
own homes.
In February a pilot survey
'
with 650 co mp 1et e d questiC1nnaires (about 1/6 of the student body then enrolled) showed
that the number of students living in rented housing is still about
50 per cent. Of those responding,
92% favored the Student Senate
entering into some form of lowcost student housing. That such
a large percentage of questionnaires was completed indicates
that the problem is one of critical concern to the students.
"Housing is the students' number one problem." said Morgan.
Rental units, with only 3%
availability for students, according to a survey last summer oy
the LCPC, cost about $150-200
for a two-bedroom unit in the
university are a. Even in the
ghetto-type areas where students
and fa mi 1i es are crowded together, the rates are inflated.
The city agencies are concerned about the housing problem. The lackofhousingforstudents is hurting non-students of
poverty level or retired persons
by forcing students into rental
units that normally would be used
by these groups.
In a questionnaire distributed
at the time of the last serial
levy, Feb. 10, the older voters,
. on whom the responsibility has
been placed for the failure of
the levy to pass, indicated an
overwhelming approval of consideration of student housing and
connected problems.
In response to concern about
housing, the LCC Student Senate
authorized $200 in March to form
the Willamette Developers, Inc.
for the initial purpose of considering the development of low
cost housing. The corporation evolved through the efforts of
concerned students headed by
Institutional Development Director Marston Morgan. Free legal
advice had also been anonymously
pledged.

Leadership needed to revive ASCUS
"I would bend over backward
to get it started again," said
Art Schaefer about the end of
ASCUS.
Schaefer has been faculty advisor to LCC's Associated Students for Community Unified Services since Sept. 1968, when the
school service club started.
The ASCUS club is an informal
club consisting of individuals interested in being of service to
Lane Community College. The
fifteen or more members that
were in the club assisted the
•school by providing guided tours
of LCC, helped ambulatory students to classes, provided transportation for handicapped students and served as guides for
new entering students. In essence--they were the "work horses" for the school. "When a
hand, or a back or energy was
needed in service to the schoolASCUS was there to help," reflected Schaefer.
Sc-haefer looked down on the
term "demise" and said that
the club is ''in limbo.'' It still
has a charter and money in the
bank. "It's a simple case,"
said Schaefer, "ofloss ofleadership. Bill Denniston, the original
president left the school and
t~re has been no one interested
e'nough to pick up the reigns of
leadership since he left the school
Winter Term. It's as simple as
that."

Schaefer said he thought there
is still a great need to be filled
by students volunteering their
time to serve the school.
Before the club's break-up,
Schaefer said, it was showing
special "family" type Ulms to
raise money. '' .People frcltn out
of town" said Schaefer, "were
writing to the school asking when
these films would be run, and
it looked like A.SCUS had a popular money raising thing going
until the bottom fell out and the
club lost its organization."
In. this age of "non-involvement," the ASCUS Club plays a
definite part at LCC. It gives
students a chance to ''become
involved" and be of service to
the school, to the students, and
the comm unity. "It is parHcularly sad," mused Schaefer,
"because the need for ASCUS's
services is just as great now as it
was when the club as active maybe more so . And the only
reason the club is 'in limbo' is
the simple fact that there is no
leadership."
Now may be your· time to "become involved." The · need for a
com mun it y service such as
ASCUS still exists. There is
money in the bank, a charter, and
a faculty advisor sitting at the
edge of his chair waiting for the
phone to ring. All the re-birth of
.A.SCUS needs "to be of service
to Lane Community College" is

some leadership - yours.

basis.
.
As estabhshed, the corporation was to be organized similar
to the LCC Board of Education,
with directors elected for four
years, &nd to include administrators, board members, students ahd possibly two or three
·
community leaders.
Taking into consideration such
problems as utilities, roads, and
public schools, the corporation
aimed toward the April 1 deadline to apply for a federal loan
through the Dept. of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD).
This proposed loan would have
enabled Willamette Developers
to begin the actual consideration
of types of housing. The type of
housing to be built is indefinite.
In the February survey, 78% of
those who responded indicated
they approved apartment-type
rather than individual units.
Facilities for both married and
single students were favored by
83.7%.
Hill has said that Wille.mette
Developer's proposal for low cost
housing has met with opposition
from some members of th~ administration.
Dean of Students L S. (Bud)
Hakanson said that communication between administration
and students on the question of
student h o u s in g had not been
great.
"I knew nothing about what the
students were doing or that they
were doing anything until a proposal in the Student Senate asked
for money to be used for a housing corporation (Willamette Developers)," said Hakanson.
"Further," he added, "let's
not ride our white horses off in
different directions. It would be
better to yoke them so we can
pull together."
Since LCC is a community college, it is forbidden by law to
use any tax monies for housing
needs.
Hakanson said that since housing is a community problem there
is little the individual can do about
high rates of interest and costs.
Any housing development would
depend on outside funds, such as
fed e r a I grants with community
and university cooperation.
According to Richard Eymann,
Government Funding Director,
HUD was the organization through
which the corporation could be
expected to receive the most help. .
HUD would guarantee a loan to
a non-profit corporation if it were
for student housing. In such an
agreement the government would
agree to pay all interest over 3%
if the money were obtained from

private sou~ces.
. .
The housmg survey distributed
at registration time was to have
supplied the needed information.
The loss of the survey forms a
:Veek b~fore the deadline makes it
impossible to apply for the loan,
as the 400 forms Hill picked up
were insufficient data.
Eymann said that in view of
the loss of the survey forms, the
failure to meet the application
deadline and tight money, he
didn't see where much could be
done this year.
Because students don't always
know of housing available in the
area, Senator Steve Pickering has
proposed that the Student Senate
~evise a permanent system for
current listings. This would not
investigate housing or approve or
disapprove of it.
The proposal has been ternporarily tabled.
Morgan said that while it's not
feasible to ask all the students
to fill outthe forms again, he feels
obligated to try to gather the information in some way. This information is vital to the whole
community, he said.
Hill has said he is disappointed
in the reaction oftheStudentSenate to the survey loss, that the
Senate had failed to act and that
no one had been appointed to fill
his position as Student Housing
Chairman. Hill resigned when he
withdrew from school April 9 due
to financial difficulties.
This week, April 28-May 1,
Hill will be back on campus to redistribute a number of the survey
forms which were not used during
registration. He said he asks
students to "tolerate the repetition as I realize this entails
work on their part."
"I want to thank the students for
assistance in filling out the
previous questionnaire which was
lost.
I appreciate their supplying critical data needed... "
he said.
The Senate Housing Committee
formerly ch aired by Hill has
billed the administration, through
the registrar's office, for $280
on behalf of the student body--a
sum equivalent to the value of the
time some 2200 students spent
filling out the questionnaires,
the cost based on a minimum
hourly wage of $1.25.
Since the form was a complicated one that r e q u i r e d a considerable amount of time from
many persons, Morgan said he
agrees "that the administration
owe<. the students a redress of
this," and that his office could .
bear part of the expense of that
redress.

Toastmasters Club may form at LCC; students sought
by Ernest Fraim
Jirn Whitchurch, an LCC student in Agriculture, is planning
to do something about his public speaking ability. He would
like to see other LCC students
join him in forming a campus
branch of the International Toastmasters Club.
Whitchurch joined the Eugene
Toastmasters recently and is
looking forward to bringing the
club to the LCC campus. His
plans · are not definite yet, but
he has many ideas and would
like to meet with other interested
students.
The Toastmasters Club is an
international organization which
is set up to help the individual
improve his speaking ability and
confidence by speaking fequently
to his fellow members, who come
fro m a 11 w a 1ks of life. The
speeches are evaluated by club
members and, though it may be
embarassing at first, the criticism is very helpful, Whit church stated.

A typical Toastmasters meeting is set up around three different types of speeches. The
first is "table topics" which
last I minute and, because they
are impromptu, give the speaker the opportunity to "think on
his feet'' while speaking in con cise terms. He must used the
announced word of the day in
his speech.
The second type of speech is
the three-minute "hot seat"
speech in which a topic is given
to a speaker as he approaches
the podium. The last type is ten-

min u t e ''prepared speeches"
which are announced a week in
advance.
New members must give an
"icebreaker" speech in which
they speak on their lives. All
speeches are evaluated by the
grammarian, a critic for grammatical errors and content of
the talk.
There are members who, when
the first came into the club, could
hardly speak before an audience.
After a time, these members are
speaking with confidence, emphasized Whitchurch.

The drive is a campaign to
raise $1.1 million from the community for the addition of 75
beds, improvement of the Surgical Intensive Care unit, and a
comprehensive rehabilitation department.
The Expansion Drive is not
being sponsored by LCC, but interested staff members are encouraged to participate in it.
Campaign leaders are seeking
individual pledges for a given
amount to be paid over a three
year period. Pledge cards are
available at LCC through Bert
Dotson.
Although this is primarily a
Lane County venture, it also includes all of the Southwest Oregon area that makes use of the
sacred Heart Hospital facilities.
The cost of the entire project
will total approximately $6 million. Financing is being sought
through federal sources, borrowed money, accumlated savings,
and the $1.1 million being solicited in individual pledges.
The pledge deadling is May 8.
Faculty are reminded that their
donations will be an aid toward

The Senate hadoriginallyplanned to stay out of the matter,
said Spriggs, but finally decided
it had to make a public comment.
He went on to say, the "last

comment by a Eugene radio newsman on the morning of the 26th
linked Pickering's termination

that the Board had fired the

'' The Board of Education of

done an outstanding job from the
conception of the community college idea in this area to our

Table clinics offered by LCC

LCC movie to be

LCC Dental Hygienists will
present two table clinics at the
annual meeting of the Oregon
Dental Association in Portland
Mav 3-6.
At the table clinics, students
will show techniques and processes developed by different
schools represented.
Dental hygienist Betty Sherman said the LCC students will
demonstrate the use of the reclining chair and the mobile cart
used in the dental clinic. Use
of the reclining chair lessens
muscle fatigue for both patients
and dentist or other operators.
Instruments are more accessible
and easier to use with the cart.

Attorn-e y discusses divorce la~s
Divorce statutes are one of
the most rapidly changing areas
of law throughout the country,
said Hale Thompson, a Eugene
attorney, at a recent session of
the Family Life Discussion
series, "Crisis of Divorce."
Thompson said divorce has
historically been ''predicated on
fault~, with the party not at
fault getting the divorce." Prior
to 1969, Oregon courts could refuse to grant a divorce in cases
where both parties were at fault.
The 1969 changes moved away
from as much concern with fault,
Thompson said.

0 reg·on law specifies seven
grounds for divorce, Thompson
noted, but most divorces in the
state are granted on grounds of
"cruel and inhuman treatment."
Thompson said he expects even
more changes in the divorce law,
which would replace decrees _of
divorce or separate maintenance
and annulments with a "dissolution of marriage." The changes
would approximate California's
new law where the only grounds
for divorce is "irreconcilable
differences."
Thompson favors dissolution
of marriage rather than divorce

I, 7octe 1teid4c,
'U, ol ()_

Two weeks ago I wrote about the "Caveman Concept" as the
belief that force is an acceptable
means of change. i.e.: "If you
don't agree with me, I threaten
to hit you on the head with a
club thus obtaining agreement."
This concept is currently being
demonstrated at the U. of O.
Ignoring the fact that several
votes have been taken relative to
the ROTC program on the UofO
campus and that these votes indicated the majority of students
and faculty were not interested
in making any change at this
time, and, further ignoring the
fact that this issue was still
open for alternate action and that
there were many opportunities
available to students and faculty
to persuade the majority to
change their opinions-ignoring
all this, a minority of students
refused to consider other methods of change and claimed they
were "forced" to take matters
into their own hands by a sitin.
Here again we see the
basic issue of r;eason versus
force in achieving change. Let's
be very clear about this. We
are talking about "absolutes."
(.n.lthough some of my professors
say there are none!) We are
talking about the difference
between legal versus i 11 e g a 1,
right versus wrong, v o I u n t a r y
action versus coercion. These
concepts are not a matter of
opinion, they are fundamental
contradictions. They are black
and white.
What is the s t at u s of an
honest man who robs once in
a while?
What is the status
of a peace-loving student who

The marriage is just dissolved.

Present and past 1aw s,
Thompson feels, have made some
divorce cases the greatest tragedies that have come to the
attention of his office.
Anticipated changes in the law,
he said, will render divorces less
tragic because there will be no

Yet these students then evaded

The point I wish to stress is
that the students in the ASUO
