  • Tuesday, April 22, 1969 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Student Association Challenges 'Cut Off Legislation Of House WASHINGTON (CPS) — A suit has been filed in federal court here challenging toe constitutionality of legislation which cuts off financial aid of college students involved in "disruptive" campus protests. Principal plaintiff is the U.S. National Student Association, a confederation of 386 student governments on campuses across the nation.

More than 1.5 million students receive aid under programs affected by the cut-off provisions. Also involved are professors" and graduate students' research subsidies. Illegal The NSA suit contends toe rut-offs are Illegal because they rlolate rights of free speech, issembly and conscience; in- fade states' rights; constitute jills of attainder; violate due Mrocess, are vague and inde- inite; and Invidiously discriminate against the poor. The suit seeks to declare unconstitutional, and thus nullify, certain so-called "anti-riot" provisions of federal legislation leslgned to deny federal aid to lisruptive protesters. Named as chief defendant is Robert Finch, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, who administers most of the funds involved, Defense secretary Melvin Laird and Leland J. Haworth, director of the National Science Foundation, are also named because they administer applicable research programs. The suit asks for an immediate, temporary injunction against enforcement of the cutoffs until toe case can be heard by a three-judge panel. The cut-offs were tacked onto legislation by the last Congress after the House of Higher Education subcommittee had urged leaving disciplinary matters to Individual Institutions. One provision calls for mandatory cut-offs If a student Is convicted of a crime during a protest, Another lets the school decide If the disruption or rule violation was "of a serious nature" before cutting off aid. The provisions were not enforced under the Johnson Administration, but President Nixon has made it clear he Intends to enforce the law. Rep. Edith Green (D-Ore), chairman of the subcommittee, plans to see that toe cut-offs are maintained. She Is preparing legislation to establish a mediation service for campus disputes and to pay federal financial aid to students in installments so that It can be more efficiently cut off. Apology Plaintiffs One of the student plaintiffs is Kent Young, a political science major at Colorado State University. He lost a state scholarship for involvement in a campus protest, and has been threatened with loss of his federal grant, Howard Brown, a graduate student at Yale; Robert Hundley, theology student at Columbia; and Mark Linder, sociology major atMa- calester College, are also named as plaintiffs. They receive federal aid, and feel the "uncertainties engendered by the legislation . . . constitute a prior restraint" on their rights. They are afraid of losing aid if they continue their dissent, Charles Sutton, Student Body President, wishes to make a public apology to Lambda Chi Alpha social fraternity, for incorrectly listing them as being absent from the Presidents Club meeting March 31.

From Page 2. have taken stock of the situation of the Black man in America and have noted that for all toe gains made, the lives of the masses of Black people have remained essentially unchanged. In searching for the cause of this situation, these observers wondered just how toe civil rights movement failed; what didn't it do? They found an answer In toe fact that never, during all the years of picketing, of sit-ins, of petitioning Congress for civil rights bills, during all those years of labor no one, at any time, gave thought to the psychology of the Black man. No one wondered "What now?" after the desegragation of a cafeteria. In short, toe civil rights movement addressed itself to toe surface conditions that contributed to the Black man's second class status, to the under toe surface conditions that contributed his second class status, The leaders of the early civil rights movement can not rest on their laurels, secure In toe false notion that things are getting better all the time. Things are not getting better; indeed, for many Black men, particularly those in urban areas, they are getting worse. Despite civil rights bills, despite the poverty program, despite all the efforts of the old civil rights movement, there continues to exist in the Black communities of this country a reality of power- lessness which will perpetuate itself forever unless we strike at the very root of the problem— the Black man's lack of control over the institutions which control his life. Where to begin? Perhaps, for many adult members of toe Black community, it is already too late In toe day. Therefore, the Blacks have to look to their children and to toe schools — the chief molders of their minds, for a beginning. However, Blacks looking to toe schools are confronted by a bulwark of mediocrity, a powerful instrument for perpetuating the very ills toe Blacks seek to erase. At this point, despite apperances to the contrary, toe school situation is not beyond hope, INAUGURATION . . . From Page 1. Canton, Charles Taylor of Brevard, John Stevens and Herschel S.
