How To Win

At Berkeley
The Secret Of Success
THE BATTALION
Friday, October 29, 1965
College Station, Texas
Page 3
(AGP) — (The following col
umn was written by Tom Fraser
in the Daily Tar Heel, Universi
ty of North Carolina, Chapel
Hill.)
University of California re
searches at Berkeley recently
told their professional colleagues
that campus protest leaders are
“the nucleus of future scholar
ship.”
What is not known, however,
is Berkeley’s new graduate
school admission policy. To get
the inside dope, I interviewed
Koob Egdelwonk, who, although
he graduated from the Universi
ty of North Carolina with a 4.00
and an impressive record in stu
dent government was turned
down at Berkeley. He wanted to
work for a Ph.D. in nuclear phy
sics there.
“You look extremely qualified,”
the admissions officer said, “yet
you have a 4.00 average with-

out ever having belonged to the
Free Speech Movement.”
“Yes, sir,” answered Koob very
respectfully.
“Well, I'm sorry,” the official
replied, ‘but we cannot accept
you because you haven’t engaged
in creative protest. I’m sure you
see our side of the story; the
statistics show campus activists
rank higher on the intellectually
orientation scale.”
“Maybe,” Koob suggested, “I
could develop myself intellectual
ly once I got to Berkeley, per
haps stop a few troop trains or
threaten to become a human
torch.”
“We’re sorry,” the admissions
officer said, “but we must rely
on past deeds, not just on abili
ty. Judging from your record,
I would say you lack the motiva
tion one needs to succeed at
Berkeley.”
Six months later, Koob revisit
ed Berkeley after changing his
identity. He wore dark glasses,
a dirty T-shirt, and sandals.
What’s more, he did not hesitate
before accepting the marijuana
cigarette offered him by the in
terviewer.
Koob casaually remarked that
he had barely managed to grad
uate from UNC, that he had been
suspended from school several
times at the request of the gov
ernor, and that he used LSD
(a hallucinatory drug).
“I’m very impressed,” said the
admissions officer. “Seems to me
you’re just the type of fellow
who’ll fit into our local Free
Speech Movement, although the
experts say the FSM people are
not beatniks.”
“Sure thing, old man,” Koob
replied. “Me—I go places. Just
ordinary stuff — picketing the
university administration, work
ing to legalize pot, vandalizing
military monuments.”
Two weeks later he received
a letter from Berkeley. “Dear
Mr. Egdelwonk,” it read. We have
been checking and found that you
have never been disciplined by the
school as you said you were, and
furthermore, that Chief Beau
mont has never arrested you for
smoking marijuana. We find
you to he an intellectual fraud.”
Depressed, Koob ran out into
the middle of Franklin St. and
began screaming obscenities at
the top of his lungs. When the
authorities threw him into the
paddy wagon, Koob said he was
merely expressing his right of
free speech.
Meanwhile, back at Berkeley,
the admissions officers read
about the incident. The next
day they paid Koob’s bail so he
could immediately take advan
tage of a $6,000 scholarship of
fered by their physics depart
ment.

Constitutional Amendments
By GLENN DROMGOOLE
Battalion Editor
Proposed Amendment No. 9
to the Texas Constitution would
give Texas legislators an $8 daily
pay raise for a 20-day longer
session.
The suggested change, one of
10 to be voted on Tuesday, would
affect Article III, Section 24
and Article IV, Section 17.
It would give members of the
state House of Representatives
and the Senate $20 a day for
their services for 140 days in
stead of $12 a day for a 120-day
session.
The Lieutenant Governor and
the Speaker of the House would
probably also receive pay raises
if the voters adopt the amend
ment which also allows the legis
lature to set annual salaries for
two posts instead of paying them
the same sum representatives
receive.
Arguments for include:
1. The $12 per day now al
lowed representatives is unrealis
tic in relation to present costs
of living. The longer pay period
and higher daily salary would
alleviate much of the financial
sacrifice which service in the
legislature now entails.
2. Duties of the Lieutenant
Governor and Speaker of the
House are as important to Tex
ans, as time consuming and as
complex as those of almost any
state official, but their pay re
mains at the level they were
when the positions were only a
parttime jobs and when their
functions were little greater than
those performed by the average
member of the legislature. The
Lieutenant Governor, next in line
of succession to the governor,
must wage the same statewide
campaign as other state execu
tives, yet his pay is almost neg
ligible. Also the speaker must
gain the confidence of 150 repre
sentatives, and the state as well.
It is unfair to penalize these
officials who contribute so
much to state government by
continuing the low ’salaries they
now receive.
Arguments against include:
1. Legislators received a pay
increase to $12 per day only
five years ago and the annual
salary provision of the Con
stitution was retained as well.
2. The Lieutenant Governor
and the Speaker of the House
are, in actual practice, no more
than members of their respective
legislative bodies and should be
given the same salary as their
counterparts.
10
Amendment No. 10, tagged at
the bottom of the 10 constitu
tional amendments coming up
for vote Tuesday, might be one
of the most significant.
It would give members of the
Texas House of Representatives
four year instead of two year
terms.
The proposed amendment would
change Section 4 of Article III
to give House members the same
status now enjoyed by state Sen
ators.
A provision is included which
prohibits a House member with
more than one year of his term
remaining from becoming a can
didate for any other legislative
office. In other words, this pre
vents a member of the House
from seeking a Senate seat in
his off-election year.

Arguments for include:
1. Representatives would not
have to spend as much time cam
paigning and therefore would
have more time to conduct legis
lative business.
2. Four year terms would cut
campaign expenses in half and
thus make the candidate less sub
ject to special interests’ influ
ence.
3. Continuity in office, with
in certain limits, provides
strength in government. There
would be less executive influence
upon the legislators and more
sureness of positions by the
House members.
4. Representatives would have
more time to inform themselves
on problems and issues that are
today more complicated against
include:
1. The House is supposed to
be closer to the people than the
Senate and removal of two year
terms might tend to make repre
sentatives less responsive to the
wishes of their constituents.
2|. Texas citizens would be
prohibited from removing legis
lators whose voting records have
been irresponsible or in contrast
to the best interests of the vot
ers.
3. The temptation to increase
selfish interests would be great
er in a four year term.
4. Adoption of the proposal
would give a House member elec
ted to two terms almost life as
surance of the position because
of voter familiarity with his
name, not his ability.
The Anti - Locust Research
Center in London hopes to syn
thesize the scent of grass, at
tractive to marching locusts, and
use it as lure in poisons.
small but hard core of persons
advocating this end have been
allowed to take to the nation’s
streets in ever-increasing num
bers to protest the United States
involvement in Viet Nam.
Some of these demonstrators
are sincere pacifists who honest
ly believe that war accomplishes
nothing and thus the United
States is wasting its time in Viet
Nam.
Others—those aptly described
as longhairs, pseudo-intellectuals
or Vietniks—are members of ra
dical left - wing organizations:
Students for a Democratic So
ciety, War Resisters’ League,}
Freedom Fighters, The DuBois
Clubs, Congress of Unpresented
Peoples (Coup), Young Socialists
Alliance, Committee to End the
War in Viet Nam.
These are the masterminds of
countless sit-ins, protest marches
and assorted demonstrations that
have pumped new hope into the
Communist leaders of Peiping
and Hanoi.
The record of these harbingers
of impending doom has been im
pressive to date as far as the
enemies of America are con
cerned.
These protestors have sent
telegrams of sympathy to Ho
Chi Minh. They have thrown
themselves in the path of troop
trains and attempted to place
under arrest the commander of
an Army terminal which dis
patches men and material to
South Viet Nam.
They have picketed airplanes
because they consider such con
traptions machines of death.
They have traveled throughout
the country showing films which
praise the Communist Viet Cong
for their bravery in combat.
They have formed a make
shift brigade of irregulars which
will leave shortly to fight for
the Viet Cong against U. S.
Army forces.
They have marched solemnly
behind a draped coffin bearing
the mortal remains of American
foreign policy.
They have burned draft cards
and refused to report for Army
induction.
They have anonymously taunt
ed grieving widows of soldiers
killed in Viet Nam fighting to
preserve the very freedoms oft
speech and assembly that the
demonstrators are exercising.
They have publicly wondered
if Christ would have carried a
draft card and have asked Presi
dent Johnson how many persons
he has killed in Viet Nam on a
given day.
A small minority of this group
is classed as conscientious objec
tors who doubt that the use of
force is beneficial in Viet Nam.
Another segment is the paci
fist, generally a clean-shaven,
intellectual person who agrees
with the conscientious objector

but refuses to say that he will
not fight.
A third segment is the facul
ty leader, who is supposed to be
the brains of the movement but
to date has shown very little
behavior worthy of the tag.
But the most violent and voci
ferous portion of the protestors
are the “new left” personalities—
college students, dropouts, unem
ployed adults and Communist or
ganizers intent on overthrowing
the United States government by
trying to turn public support
away from it.
J. Edgar Hoover’s contention
that the protests have been or
ganized and sustained Com
munist front groups to some ex
tent can be readily seen by the
statements of the head of the
Students for a Democratic So
ciety, largest of the protest
groups.
The SDS leaders has said
America is more of a threat to
the sovereignity of the free
world than is Red China.
Another American citizen and
leader of an anti-administration
group has branded the United
States government “imperialists”
and said U. S. intervention in
Viet Nam will be but a crutch
for further intervention in all
future “people’s revolutions.”
But only a few of the demon
strators are Communists or Com
munist sympathizers. The bulk
is composed of clean-cut, typical
college types who simply do not
believe that their government is
following a proper course of
action in Viet Nam and are
voicing their opposition in some
what orderly fashion.
Therein lies the real tragedy
of the 1965 protests, for these
are the students who must guide
this nation in the decades to
follow.
Their actions in protesting
American policy in Viet Nam
can do no good to their country.
Instead, they can only serve to
divide it in the eyes of the world
and further weaken its ability
to stand tall as a deterrent to
aggression throughout the world.
The efforts of the demonstra
tors have been observed by other
nations, both friendly and hostile.
French papers have headlined
that American public opinion is
strongly divided on the matter of
Viet Nam involvement.
The Russian paper Izvestia has
proclaimed “Americans Ashamed
of America” to willing enemies
of the United States.
And even Hanoi has sent a
cable praising the efforts of a
Viet Nam committee headquart
ered at the University of Cali
fornia at Berkeley, breeding
place for most of the student
protest groups.
It is ironic that the actions of
the demonstrators merely serve
to stimulate the Communists’
contentions that the United
States will abandon the war in
Viet Nam because of lack of
support from general public.
As long as the Communists are
led to believe this then so much
longer will the Vietnamese con
flict be extended—the very thinf
that the protestors do not war
to see happen.
It is more ironic that if thet-
students were to live in Rj
China or North Viet Nam—tht
two countries which they are so
generously aiding by their act
ions—they would never be al
lowed to criticize their govern
ment as they are doing here.
The right to criticize is but
an idealistic dream when a coun
try is at war, and the Uni'teh
States is at war in Viet Nam.
