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

revolutionary struggle in which
extremists hope to take control of
great American universities is
underway, Richard M. Nixon said

social goals,” he said.
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.”
