Editorial Page The Stymied Summons One of the most controversial recommendations which came out of the thirty-first Pre-Session Conference was "that the respective social deans inform all students appearing before them for disciplinary action that they are not required to incriminate themselves in any manner, and that an official summons be served before the date of his appearance. The said date of the hearing is to be 48 hours or more after the summons is served." As is the usual procedure, the Senate Ways and Means Committee has been working with this and other recommendations of the Conference in an attempt to secure action on these recommendations. In its final form, the summons would notify the student accused of an offense that he is not obligated to give incriminating testimony, that he is required to attend an interview with the respective Dean at a given time, and that procedural information will be made available to him. Futhermore, the charge is detailed as to page and paragraph of the student handbook. This summons has several obvious advantages. The student would know exactly what he is accused of, he would have 48 hours to prepare for the interview, and he would know how to obtain counsel concerning his case. Before the Christmas recess, the Ways and Means Committee had received the tentative approval of the social deans for instituting the summons on a trial basis. Now it appears that the question of the summons must be referred to the Student Affairs Committee and to the Policies Committee, most likely being stymied there for some time. The student government association had desired that the summons be instituted only on a trial basis in order to determine its usefulness and effectiveness. Why, then, the delay? Is it some laxity on the part of the students or is it simply administrative unwillingness to change? Someone Cares Among other reassuring items we picked up over the holidays to accompany the usual warm glow of Christmas time was the cheery discovery that someone big cares about us. In fact, it appears that the colleges and administrations are fast being done out of their role as parent and protector. This new parent-image is nothing other than the government of the good old U.S.A. To think that something so vast could show such care for the common populace of America! From now on, all cigarette packs will be required to carry a warning to the effect that cigarette smoking may prove injurious to one's health. Whether or not this warning will prompt the vast army of cigarette smokers to lay down their packs and beat their lighters into lung probes remains to be seen. Still, we are touched by this concern and feel that such labors should not go unrecognized. Our hats are off to Uncle Sam.

No one wishes to impair this right when it is avoidable. The question at hand is, what could make it unavoidable to deny one of our most basic freedoms? The particular that makes this an issue of the day is the war in Viet Nam. It seems that the government feels that they have a right to censor the news coming out of that area. Before we condemn the government for this stand, let us look at the facts concerning the case and the possible implications of the issue. On the negative side, we can say that the government has no right to do this, that the, American people have a right to know the facts of the conflict. This is on the assumption that the government is withholding some idea of the outcome of the struggle and that the American people would be the only ones to read the newspapers.

Morgan "Look at her," he thought, "she stands there with that stupid glass of juice and smiles- and smiles- and smiles- dressed in white with white teeth—all of her dead but the gleaming light of her teeth—the only living part of her—she'll never live—her life is her white uniform and her glass of juice and dead smiles—all of those doom her teeth—they will yellow, decay and fall out one by one— "He slanted his eyes toward the man, "And him—Poor dead him—smiling as if he knows everything and understands everything and can answer every question. He told me the juice would do me good and solve my problem—a glass of juice is his answer because he has no question—he smiles smugly —contentedly—and winks at his woman from time to time to let her know that the has the problem under control— she smiles and is proud—but —he is dead- dead- dead- And you can't understand it —you don't see that your escort is only an escort and nothing more he will never be anything more—he is stale and you are stale because you are part of him—both of you and all the people who sit in this room and stare at me are stale and useless and have no part in the world's action—all of you think I'm on liquor or pills or wine or religion—or that I'm a queer —I'm on life—I see life—I want to be a part—I' don't want to be a zero—a nothing—i want to be vital and have a part in actions—I want to move and act and do —I can't sit still and lay a- round a house and watch t.v. and smoke a pipe and eat popcorn and drink cokes because I've got to be moving all the time—I can't be tied down because if I ever stop moving I'll be useless and I'll die-die—I would rather be dead and rot—fall apart- stink-seethe with maggots than move and breathe and still be dead—None of you can see—none of you desire to see—you sit here in this room and all around inami- nate objects move and breathe and love and are a part—you prop your useless bodies on a table and drink by the light of a candle out of glasses and you do not realize that you hold in your hands a part of life—a vital part of that can not make itself kiiown because you yourselves try to become a part—you watch me and you stare at me—you smile at me—you frown at me—you squint your eyes and crease your foreheads — your eyes show concern — you shake your heads in wonderment— you talk among yourselves — you point at my head and my eyes and my hands—you try to identify me with some object that is familiar with you—and finally you will succeed—because you are dead—you say I am like that poor drunk that you saw lying in a street or that pitiful dope addict you saw stumbling through the streets at night clutching in his hands a bottle of sweet water or those queers you saw in New York or New Orleans or Denver—They are concrete to you and you wish to make me concrete— you wish to classify me because all of you belong to classifications;—classifications that are stale and mean nothing to the world or life or anything and never will— and when I walk through hell—my hell—my heaven— I'll laugh and snicker because I know and I'll know then that I have lived and died and that all of you have been dead since you were born. We have no right to make either of these assumptions. We should not forget that there are also many things of technical nature and essential to the conduct of the war that might be let out by a completely unhampered press. It is a time proven fact that the press does not always limit itself to those facts that are not harmful to the secrecy of important information. The government reserves the right to classify important secrets of the nation at all times. This right goes unchallenged except when those facts are connected with something that the press has a limited knowledge of. If the government Is to classify certain information because It could be harmful to the security of the country at any time and guard these facts so closely that the country tn general has no knowledge that the things In question even exist, why should it not be able to classify equally important facts when the general public has a limited knowledge of the object or event In question The exact movements of troops and the dispensation of forces and material In Viet Nam Is effective only If It is a complete secret as to where, when, and how these things are to occur. The only way this can be effectively accomplished is government censorship of the news coming out of Viet Nam. An American newspaper cannot be guaranteed not to be read by someone opposed to the U.S. war effort. When Robert E. Lee was campaigning in the Civil War, he said that he learned as much from the Northern newspapers as he did from his spies and his cavalry. I do not think that we, as Americans, can afford to take the chance that any unnecessary information should fall into the hands of the Communists. I have noticed, also, that many of the people who complain of the fact that a communist can speak in America complain just as hard when the government attempts to maintain some secrecy in the struggle a- gainst that same force in Viet Nam. When we ask that the press be allowed to print what it desires in this question, we are not asking that the press be free to print the news; we are asking that the press be allowed to jeapordiae the war effort in Viet Nam.
