THE BATTALION
College Station, Texas Tuesday, December 8, 1964
CADET SLOUCH
The University of California at
Berkeley hasn’t been getting the
best publicity in the world for
the past week.
Student demonstrations culmin
ating in the arrest of more than
800 people for participating in a
sit-in demonstration in the ad
ministration building of the uni
versity tend to give the casual
reader the idea that this is just
another bunch of beatniks or
weirdos seeking recognition.
The wirephoto widely used
showing a bearded demonstrator
could not have helped in the pre
sentation of the truth.
There is a rational side to the
protest and it deserves a hearing.
On Sept. 19, the university
closed a “free speech” area at
the comer of Bancroft and Tele
graph streets on the south edge
of the campus. For years, stu
dents had used this area-thought
to belong to the city of Berkeley
— for impromptu orations and as
an outlet for organizing off-cam
pus political activities, such as
civil rights movements.
The discovery that the “free
speech” area belonged to the uni
versity brought a prompt ruling
that prohibited students from
soliciting funds for political acti
vities or advocating particular
political causes while on campus.
“State law in California says
that the University of California
may not participate in partisan
politics, although this rule applies
to the university more than to its

individual students,” said Jim
Willworth, assistant editor of the
Daily Californian in a special
article for the Kansas City Star.
“The campus administration,
then, felt the safest course of
action was to eliminate student
political activity in the newly dis
covered campus area,” Wellworth
continued.
The students began their pro
test with petitions to the admini
stration and some peaceful pic
keting. The administration struck
back with suspensions for viola
tion of the solicitation of funds-
ruling.
Things went from bad to worse,
communications between the pro
test groups and the administra
tion broke down and the sit-in
was the result.
“The students agreed with the
cause for which the group was
fighting but they did not always
agree with the measure used, was
the opinion expressed by Well-
worth and Jim Bow, also of the
Daily Californian staff.
California is a melting pot, a
seething political cauldron, whose
atmosphere is different from any
other in the United States.
The two student editors seemed
to feel that this difference, coupl
ed with the unrest that has swept
the state following the Republi
can convention and the general
tone of state politics, were the
real factors behind the dispute.
Possibly it made the students
a little more conscious of their
right to participate in political
affairs. It is all speculation.
But, someone needs to specu
late about the dispute and its
causes immediate and secondary,
to ease the tensions if they should
crop up again. The students felt
they were right and could not
stand idlely by. The administra
tion felt it could not be intimi
dated.
The battle had no winners.

Editor,
The Battalion:
Aggieland has many friends
and I would like to tell you about
one of the most “gung-ho”. He’s
my eight-year-old cousin who at
tends Mound Elementary School
in Burleson. His name is Blake
Carpenter.
Blake and his younger brother,
Stevie, came to A&M with his
parents for Final Review of 1964.
I carried the American flag dur
ing the ceremonies and Blake car
ried the flag cases. He really en
joyed taking part and when he
left he definately took the “Spirit
of Aggieland” with him.
Last summer Blake entered
“Buddie’s Scribble Contest” in his
hometown with the scribble,
“A&M”, because he couldn’t make
the ampersand. The object of
the contest was to enter a scrib
ble which “Big Jim” Hester could
not illustrate with a cartoon in
a maximum of 60 seconds. “Big
Jim” attempted to draw three
A&M cadets marching from the
“A&M” scribble, but failed to
complete it in time. Blake won.
A pair of skates, a snub-nosed,
revolver and a racing car set were
given to him. His mother re
ceived a card table with four
matching chair’s for her son’s
victory.

Blake’s spirit has already been

and be of great value to him
through life. He plans to enter

Editor,
The Battalion:
The present program of “Aca
demic Excellence” here at school
must really be bearing fruit in
other areas if the school can af
ford to turn down money. Take
the matter of the lockers in De-
Ware Field House. There are
approximately 200 lockers in the
locker room available to the stu
dent a “day” lockers. In all the
time I have been playing hand
ball and using the lockers I have
never seen over 30 lockers in
use.
Yet the school cannot afford to
rent 20 or 25 of these lockers to
people who play handball and
cannot get a locker in G. Rollie
White Coliseum. So 175 or more
empty lockers sit there taking up
space and collecting dirt. Don’t
let that fool you though, they are
serving a “useful purpose. They
look good for visitors.
Just don’t fall for their nice
empty look though and try to use
them. If you do, your lock will
be sawed off, your gear confis
cated, and you will get “locker
service” in the coliseum. So be
fore you knock the administra
tion, remember that they are do
ing such a good job that there is
money left over to buy purely
ornamental facilities.

‘Peace Corps’ Courses
By Intercollegiate Press
Madison, Wis. — The Univer
sity of Wisconsin and the Uni
versity of Hawaii have “joined
the Peace Corps” in what Peace
Corps Director Sargent Shriver
called “a new approach to educa
tion for international service.” He
announced in a joint news release
that both universities:
consin in several areas which re
late directly to the Peace Corps
program.”
1. Intend to develop a new se
quence of courses on the
graduate and undergraduate
level to better prepare A-
mericans to serve effectively
overseas;
The Peace Corps will seek the
assistance of these two universi
ties in its recruiting and career
counselling efforts, he reported.
This type of full involvement and
cooperation will also result in a
student body more interested in
and better prepared for interna
tional activities, Shriver said.
