By t. u. Professor Group THE BATTALION Thursday, May 16, 1968 College Station, Texas Page 5 CarolineCaseReviewRequested AUSTIN <JP) — A professor’s group at the University of Texas argued for 90 minutes Wednesday before voting to ask the school’s committee on academic freedom to look into the Larry Caroline case. The professors turned down, in a close voice vote, an even stronger statement that “because of the way in which the Caroline case has developed an atmosphere now exists which tends to intimi date those who wish to speak out on controversial issues.” Dr. Rainer K. Sachs, physics professor, proposed the statement Seniors Everybody is going first' class to the Ring Dance — why not a color coordinated corsage from The Floral Center, 2920 East 29th St., Call 823-5792. to the Texas chapter of the American Association of Univer sity Professors. Asked to elaborate on what he meant by “the way in which the Caroline case has developed,” Sachs said “The chairman of the board of regents Frank Erwin in effect prejudiced the case in the neswpapers.” AND SACHS cited the “inter vention of a dean in a department matter,” apparently referring to Dr. John Silber, dean of the School of Arts and Sciences. Another professor said “There has been no doubt in my mind that individuals—particularly in dividuals at the non-tenure level— have been intimidated.” Dr. David Edwards of the de partment of government spoke of the “much-intensified fears” that existed on campus. Caroline, an assistant professor of philosophy, called for an American revolution at an anti war rally on the Capitol grounds last Oct. 21. He said a revolution was needed to change the Ameri can society and way of life. AT A CAMPUS meeting March 16, Caroline urged the abolition of private property. And in a letter to the student newspaper last Sunday, he abhorred “need less violence” but defended loot ing as “simply stealing back that which has been stolen from you.” The budget council of the phi losophy department informed Caroline Saturday that he would get a terminal contract, severing his relations with the university May 31, 1969. Caroline told the student news paper he would fight the decision of the council. University president Norman Hackerman and Silber said Mon day they found no reason to re verse the council’s decision.

Nixon Calls Columbia Riots 4 The First Major Skirmish’ PENDLETON, Ore. </P> — A revolutionary struggle in which extremists hope to take control of great American universities is underway, Richard M.

The recent disorders at Colum bia University were “the first major skirmish” in the effort to turn the universities into “sanc tuaries for radicals and vehicles for revolutionary political and OmmttmfLfimopNm HtM/T/Z PCERSE" |#-oz.

Nixon spoke to an audience in a jammed auditorium in Pendle ton, center of an important wheat and pea growing area of eastern Oregon. IN AN EARLIER statement, he said that he and other major candidates for the presidency had been offered administration briefings on foreign affairs. Nix on said he would accept. Wednesday was the second day of a campaign swing through Oregon in quest of support in the May 28 Republican primary. Nixon drew large crowds and hearty applause at all stops. Nixon is opposed on the ballot by California Gov. Ronald Rea gan, but Reagan has not cam paigned. A strong state effort in Reagan’s behalf, however, is ex pected to bring out a substantial vote. Nixon said he looked for Reagan to do better in Oregon than he did Tuesday in Nebraska, where Reagan got 22 per cent of the vote to Nixon’s 70. TURNING TO the problems of universities, Nixon said if the violence at Columbia is either rewarded or punished, there will be new crises at Columbia and more outbreaks on other cam puses. He called the Columbia troubles a “ naked attempt to subvert and discredit” university authority by extremists who do not “believe in the rule of law.” Travis Announced Outstanding Grad In EE Department Leon Edward Travis III of San Antonio has been named the out standing electrical engineering graduate for 1967-68 at Texas A&M.
