It has been truthfully said that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. And so, let us hope, the University of Texas students will heed the lessons of recent history and the advice of the UT adminis tration. The nature and aims of the organization known as the Students for a Democratic Society should be evident, particularly to students on the Austin campus. The great majority of students who have gone to the University of Texas in search of an education, rather than self-drama tization, must have learned to spot a phony issue. The SDS and its little band of headline-hunters have attempted to balloon their peevish defiance of the adminis tration into a great confrontation between freedom and oppression. Those who know the SDS, its record and the facts of the current affair owe it to themselves to stop and think: Is this truly the armageddon of human rights or merely a tantrum thrown by those who yearn for the role of self-made martyr? Chancellor Harry Ransom and Frank C. Erwin, chair man of the board of regents, have acted to prevent the SDS from dragging the university into a Berkeley-style fiasco. This is an important part of the administrative task given them by the people of Texas. And, in doing their best to carry out this task, they deserve the full support of all those who have helped to build the Univer sity of Texas and of the millions whose taxes now main tain it. MA-U7 “How much grade credit is a student’s overwhelming in terest in your excellent course worth? The issue at stake here is not freedom of speech or freedom of assembly, but as Erwin has said, centers on “the right of the university to make regulations and en force them.” Erwin declared, “Let’s not turn this campus into a disaster . . . SDS is not entitled to any higher privileges than other campus groups. We beg you not to create another Berkeley. If you do, we don’t have to have 27,000 students at this university.” Any community, including a community of scholars, must have rules. And, when a willful minority is able to break these rules with impunity, that community is headed for anarchy. It is clear that the administration is determined to ensure that the university will remain a university and not become a carnival of civil disobedience. In this, we believe, the administrators are carrying out the wishes of the people of this state. If there are those who are unable to accept the necessity for rules, they are free to leave. But if the dissident students choose to remain at the university in order to make it a backdrop for their version of the Berkeley disaster, they should be expelled. Erwin told the students that, if this is the choice they make, “you and I both will live to regret it.” —The Dallas Morning News Student Employment Available Through YMCA Aid Program Students from low income families can apply for employ ment under the College Work- Chancellor Says Threats Will Not Alter His Stand Comedian Bob Hope To Receive 2,200 Ft. ‘Thank You’ From B-CS Comedian Bob Hope will re ceive a 2200-foot-long “thank you” card signed by more than 10,000 boys across the country, including more than 300 boys from the Bryan-College Station area.

AUSTIN (A*)—Chancellor Har ry Ransom said Wednesday that recent threats against him and his family will not alter his stand on prohibiting unauthorized meet ings on the University of Texas campus. “I am not willing to demon strate university freedom by fla grant violation of the university regultions . . .” Ransom said in a lengthy statement. “I AM NOT willing to buy an illusion of local academic calm and tranquility at the cost of flouting national, state or local laws,” he said in answer to criti cism of the university adminis tration during recent campus demonstrations. A state court hearing will be held May 8 on charges filed against three non-students after a demonstration April 24 against Vice President Hubert Humphrey. THE STATE seeks an injunc tion forbidding the three men from entering the campus and Study Program at the Student Financial Aid Office in the YMCA.
