Campus study said outdated WASHINGTON CP)_In a re port three members called out dated, a Senate committee said Tuesday that campus disorders have been stirred up by groups seeking to create “rebellion, rev olution and eventual destruction of the ‘system’.” The Committee on Government Operations said such groups have exploited alleged campus grievances, but that it is impor tant for the nation’s universities to set up procedures for dealing with legitimate complaints. It called on college adminis trators to make clear to both faculty members and students the standards of conduct expect ed and the penalties for viola tions. The report was criticized by Sens. Abraham A. Ribicoff, D- Conn., Charles Percy, R-Ill., and Jacob K. Javits, R-N.Y. Percy said it is “clearly out of date, has been overtaken both by events and superior treatment of the subject and might well make a negative rather than a positive contribution.” The report was based on hear ings conducted from 1967 to 1969 by the committee’s permanent subcommittee on investigations. College disorders were reviewed as part of the panel’s over-all probe of riots and disorders around the nation. “The campuses are a focal point for groups whose clear mo tive is to create chaos and an archy,” the report stated, assert ing that such groups generated confrontations by inducing sup port from “otherwise well-inten tioned students” on the basis of some longstanding campus griev ances. The report said many leaders and instigators of campus disor ders came from other schools and nonstudents. “Testimony es tablishes that Students for a Democratic Society and the Black Panther party, as well as affiliates of those organizations and others of similar philosophy, are guiding forces in a large per centage of the campus disrup tions in recent years,” it said. The subcommittee studied dis ruptions at these colleges: Uni versity of California at Berkeley, Stanford, Harvard, Columbia, City College of New York, How ard, Brooklyn College, North Carolina Agricultural and Tech nical State University and Vor- hees Junior College in Denmark, S.C. Chess Club wins tournament The Chess Club won a tourna ment at San Jacinto College Saturday.
