  • Thursday, April 3,1969 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 5 Demonstrators Take Heed! (CPS BULLETIN) If you get, or hope to get, financial assistance from toe federal government to help pay college expenses or to finance projects and are worried about losing it by participating in a campus demonstration, pay heed to the following. Clip and save, and re-read before you run out to join toe next sit-in. These are toe programs involved: National Defense Education Act (NDEA) loans, Educational Opportunity Grants , Fererally~guaranteed loans, College Work-Study, government fellowships, National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) grants. You can be denied aid under these programs under certain conditions. The Nixon Administration has formally brought to the attention of college administrators provisions of two acts passed by toe last Congress, While toe President feels toe academic community, not toe government, should preserve campus peace, he clearly intends to have toe laws enforced. The Johnson Administration chose to look toe other way because of toe confusion in this sensitive area. The first Congressional act pertinent to campus unrest is the 1969 appropriations bill for the department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW), which provides toe money for the programs mentioned above. The lawmakers attached a provision that says "no part of the funds. . .shall be used" for aid to any student or faculty member "convicted by any court of general jurisdiction of toe use of or assistance in toe use of force, trespass, seizure of property under control" of toe college "to prevent officials or students from engaging in their duties or pursuing studies." Obligation So your school's financial aid office has an obligation to deny you aid during fiscal 1969 If you disrupt campus life and are convicted of a crime during toe disruption. If it wants to withhold aid or an application while your case Is pending, it can. Aid cut-off is mandatory and automatic only if you are convicted of a crime. If you participate in a protest but are not arrested, a provision of amendments to toe Higher Education Act of 1968 applies. You can be denied only if your school determines that you "Willfully refused to obey (its) lawful regulation or order and that toe refusal "was of a serious nature _and contributed to a substantial disruption of toe administration" of toe institution. The school can decide whether it wants to investigate, and could determine innocence by liberally defining toe terms "serious" refusal and "substantial disruption." If it determines guilt, aid must be denied for two years. The amendments also carry a provision requiring aid cutoff if the school determines that you have been convicted of a crime such as that under the appropriations act But this section is apparently superceded by toe mandatory cut-off in toe appropriations act When toe two acts were passed last fall, educators issued loud cries of interference with academic freedom and integrity. Recognizing their insistence in independence, President Nixon tempered his expected "law 'n order on toe campus" statement delivered more than a week after he had promised it He issued a dire warning with a mild prescription that toe univer- sitites should keep their own houses In order. He began by calling toe so- called anti-riot provisions of the two acts "moderate. . .and justified" by underscoring the need to protect society from assaults on toe processes of free inquiry, But he said there is a second issue "of far greater concern: the preservation of toe integrity, the independence, and the creativity of our institutions of higher learning." He went on to warn that campus violence is threatening academic freedom in America, saying "toe federal government cannot, should not, must not" become toe nation's campus peace-keeper. "That," he said, "is fundamentally toe task and responsibility of the university community." No Mention Nixon made no mention of intended federal prosecution of radicals who cross state lines to encourage disorders, a pos - sibility that has been discussed in toe AttorneyGeneral'soffice. He said hel£s directed HEW to "launch new initiatives toward easing tensions in our educational community. And the President took note of "depersonalization of toe educational1 experience." "Other institutions," he said, "must reshape themselves lest this turns to total alienation. There must be university reform including new experimentation in curricula such as ethnic studies, student involvement Jn the decisionmaking process and a new emphasis on faculty teaching," The President noted that "student Ainrest does not exist in a vacuum but reflects a growing social unrest affecting much of our world today. Self-righteous indignation by society will solve none of this. We must resolve toe internal contradictions of our communities." The delay In Issuing the statement presumably was caused by disagreement over how hard a stand to take and deciding just what toe federal government can do. Nixon's Stand Nixon's stand has for the moment laid to rest the question of direct federal intervention on troubled campuses. But the provisions his statement says will be enforced are under discussion in toe House higher education subcommittee chaired by Rep. Edith Green (D-Ore.). The Green committee has heard testimony for and against aid cut-off. Noted psychologist Bruno Bettleheim argued that measures taken to ease campus unrest should not be punitive. He warned that undesirable repressive measures might be imposed to prevent chaos and severe counterrac- tion to campus protests and said the greatest danger of student protest is a possible "fascist- type Backlash," not protest itself, SNEA Representatives of toe National Education Association and its student affiliate SNEA called for repeal of toe provision* because they are "vague, unenforceable, unduly repressive, and unjust" "Rather than trying to put down student unrest," said NLA staff assistant Mel Myler, "wo should be searching for student participation in decisionmaking of toe university a reality everywhere." The committee is continuing its Hearings so it can decide what to do with toe aid cutoff provisions on toe books. Western Students Comment On Pope's Birth Control Encyclical The following WCU students were asked "Do you agree with the Pope on toe issue of Birth Control." Numerous ideas and opinions were given concerning this issue while others declined to answer. Among the opinions given were: Sunshine Reynolds: "No, I think Birth Control is a good thing due to toe inability of people to overcome their basic inner most drives which lead to unavoidable wide-spread poverty in low income areas." Elisa Fine: "For me his ideas are wrong but that's his bag!" Charlie Sutton: "No I think it's time all religions move into toe 20th century, particularly toe Catholic Church." Debbie Lewis: "I don't go along with him. It's toe individuals life, so it should be the individuals decision." Tony Perkins: "No I don't agree with him because we have to control toe population explosion someway and Birth Control is toe only answer." Bill Biggers: "I'm not a Catholic so of course I don't agree with him. It's bad for the world population for It tends to overpopulate areas especially in backward countries where a large percentage of toe population is Catholic." Nancy Edden: "A conception immediately following marriage may be detrimental to the marriage because toe young wife and husband should have a period of adjustment before additional responsibility of a child is taken in." Jeanette Norman: "No because of our growing society and economy I feel it is essential that families be planned in proportion to one's economy." Alpha Phi Sigma Elects Officers On Thursday night, March 27, Alpha Phi Sigma, a national scholastic society, met to elect officers for toe next year. Martha Powell, presl- president, presided over toe meeting. Elected as president was Cheryl Smith, a senior biology major from Asheville.
