Dean Is Attacked
For Viet Stand
The dean of Colorado State College’s School of Edu
cation came under attack last month for using the faculty
bulletin to solicit support for administration policies in
Vietnam, the CSC “Mirror” reports.
The executive committee of the local chapter of the
American Association of University Professors (AAUP)
termed the action of Dr. Edward Kelly a “direct violation
of academic freedom.”
In the bulletin, Kelly said, “In order that the President
of the United States and all America as well as other nations
of the world and our servicemen everywhere, but espe
cially in Vietnam, may realize that many professors through
out the land support in principal (sic) our nation’s involve
ment in Vietnam, it is proposed that the President be sent
an indication of that support.” Kelly said he gathered 25
signatures in four hours after the bulletin appeared.
The AAUP committee’s statment upheld “the right of
faculty members and administrators to take political
stands.” The committee objected to Kelly’s action, how
ever, because it amounted to “official” solicitation of a dean
requesting signatures from his subordinates.
“The request for naines of faculty members,” the state
ment read, “many of whom are responsible to the dean for
salary increases, promotion, and tenure, is coercion in the
form of a loyalty oath. Faculty members refusing to sign
this pledge profess to the dean their political dissent even
if they do not care to do so.”
But what would a professor be doing teaching in an
American college in the first place, if he could not sign a
loyalty oath to the United States?
As for Dean Kelly, we say its about time someone
took the initative to back his own country.
Three members of a south Tex
as family received degrees Satur
day at Texas A&M.
Joe Marshall Ernst, his wife,
Susan, and Joe’s brother, Her
bert, collected sheepskins. They
couldn’t be happier.
Joe and Herbert are sons of
Mr. and Mrs. Milton Ernst of
Somerset. Susan is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Herndon,
831 McNeel Road, San Antonio.
“It’s a happy ending to a finan
cial and intellectual struggle,”

commented Joe, who gained a
Master of Science degree in
horticulture. “My wife and I
dreamed of this some time ago.
Now it’s a reality.”
Herbert earned the Master of
Science in animal science. He
and Joe received bachelor’s de
grees from Texas A&I in Kings
ville. And it was at A&I that
Joe and Susan met and tied the
knot.
Susan received a Bachelor of
Science degree in education.
The goals of all three are
further education although
hitches in the Army face Joe and
Herbert. Joe, a second lieuten
ant, hopes to work in the veg
etable or commissary field, and
Herbert, a first lieutenant, will
serve in the Medical Services
Corps.
When the service commitments
are fulfilled, Joe hopes to return
for a doctorate. Susan wants a
master’s and Herbert is setting
his sights on a shingle from
A&M’s College of Veterinary
Medicine.
But Saturday was the big day
for the Ernsts and their relatives.
The clan included parents, aunts
and uncles, friends and two 84-
year-old grandmothers, one from
each side of the family.
Susan was the first member of
her family to earn a college de
gree.
“My dad’s really proud,” she
said. “Mother talked him into
joining the A&M Mothers Club in
San Antonio.”
