Ruckley at Hill: On disorders and the Left

E

I

By STEVE KOPPMAN
"Fashion is very important for aca-
demicians," said William F. Buckley, glar-
ing at the professor who had asked his
opinion on why most faculty members were
liberals.
"There's no group in America that's
easier to push into conformity than uni--
versity professors," added the reknowned
conservative writer-orator.
These remarks were heard by some 5000
people who filled Hill Aud. Sunday after-
noon to satisfy their curiosity about the
eloquent Buckley.
Rocking gently on his heels, the editor
of the National Review presented his view
of the increasing violence in American
society.
Decrying the "apparent inability of the
community to cope with disorder," he re-
lated rising crime with what he called the
"moral imperialism" of the New Left.

"The cost of civil disobedience has come
down too far," Buckley said.
"Breaking the law has become a life
style," he added, charging radical students
with trying "to capture public sympathy
by provoking the police in using unneces-
sary force."
Buckley noted that during the Detroit
riots, 7,231 people were arrested. Five
months later, he claimed, only forty were
in jail-mostly for other crimes.
"It's statistically riskier walking twelve
blocks in New York at night," declared
Buckley, "than to participate actively in
a riot."
Attempting a diagnosis, Buckley said,
"America has given itself over to the
promulgation of unrealizable goals."
"With the 'Great Society'," he said,
"the government was supposed to improve
the quality of our lives-giving us a sense
of spiritual satisfaction-taking a job the
church has failed to do for two thousand
years."

"The New Left," he added, "painfully
recognizes thes3 goals cannot be achieved."
At the end of Buckley's speech a panel
of three faculty members commented on
some of his assertions.
"Don't you think," asked Philosophy
Prof. Frithjoff Bergman, "that one major
reason for increasing crime is the criminal
policies of this government?"
"You're really out of this world," replied
Buckley, "if you think $1.8 billion a year of
purse-snatching in New York is a protest
against the Vietnam War."
Buckley's remarks were also criticized by
History Prof. Beverly Pooley.
The third faculty member, History Prof.
Stephen Tonsor defended Buckley, charging
that Bergman had prepared his remarks
before hearing Buckley's speech.
"The first two speakers (Bergman and
Pooley) gave me an insight into the neur-
otic nightmare world of the liberal in-
tellectual," added Tonsor.

MASSIVE PROTESTS against the apparent U.S.-Japanese
agreement on the return of Okinawa are expected in Japan this
week.
According to political observers, the protesters will urge Japanese
Prime Minister Eisaku Sato to block the United States' attempt to
maintain the Asian island as a key U.S. military base, after it is
returned to Japan in 1972.
Sato will meet with President Nixon in Washington next week to
conclude the agreement for the return of Okinawa, which was cap-
tured by American troops at the end of World War II.
The Japanese government has refused to make any commitments
in advance of the Washington talks. However, leftist forces, including
three opposition parties, have demanded that Sato declare opposition
to the use of Okinawa for U.S. military operations before he leaves
for Washington.
A MILITARY COURT sentenced one of the "Fort Dix 38" to
three years in prison for rioting and arson.

THE ROCKEFELLER REPORT on Latin America calls for
the creation of a panel to deal with Communist subversion in the
Americas.
In a report on his fact-finding trips to Latin America, which was
made public yesterday, Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller (R-N.Y.) recom-
mended, in part, that President Nixon attempt to set up a Western
Hemisphere Security Council composed of the United States and other
American countries. The council would be based outside the United
States.f
This proposal is the only major recommendation of the report
which was not disclosed by Nixon in his Oct. 31 speech on hemis-
pheric problems.

After the arrests, some 100
marchers hurled bottles and rocks
at police barricades. The police re-f
taliated by turning on tear gasf
fogging machines, which dispersed
the protesters.I
Earlier, a federal judge denied
an injunction prohibiting police
from attempting to stop the
march.
Police spokesmen had said they
would permit a single-file proces-
sion along the sidewalks, but not
a mass march in the streets.

Edschool 'retreats'm
By JIM NEUBACHERa
Special To The Daily i
HARTLAND, Mich. - Reform of the education school's teacher-
training program and reorganization of its decision-making structurey
may be the result of ideas proposed here during a student-facultyI
retreat last weekend.v
In a large cabin surrounded by oak trees on a cold, blue lake, 55s
students and 35 faculty members of the education school'spentr
the weekend discussing future directions of education instruction
at the University.
Saturday and early Sunday were spent in small discussioni
groups. Students and faculty members outlined problems of thec
school, and began drawing up programs for solving the prob-
lems.
" Sunday afternoon, the executive
committee of the education schoolt
met with the group and listened1
to a number of the proposals.
ci The most significant proposal
called for an ad hoc committee of
students and faculty members tot
oversee reorganization of the ea-
ucation school's structure and cur-
- ricula.

WASHINGTON M- T h e
Senate Armed Services Com-
mittee, yielding to liberal Sen-
ate Democrats, yesterday
agreed to send the draft lot-
tery bill to the floor after
promising to open extensive
hearings on further draft re-
form by Feb. 15.
The liberals, led by Majority
Leader Mike Mansfield of Mon-
tana and Sen. Edward Kennedy
(D-Mass), had objected to the
committee's plans to report out
the lottery- proposal without also
approving other proposals in Pres-
ident Nixon's draft reform bill.
In agreeing to send the lottery
proposal to the full Senate, the
Armed Services Committee said it
would insist that the advocates of
sweeping reform offer no amend-
ments from the floor.
No immediate comment by the
reform advocates was available
yesterday. However, it appeared
likely they would agree to the
committee's conditions since the
other reforms would be considered
within three months.
The draft lottery was approved
by the House of Representatives
last month.
As it stands now, the bill pro-
vides for the random selection of
eligible Selective Service regis-
trants, with 19-year-olds being
chosen first.
The system would limit the reg-
istrants vulnerability to one year.
Once he turns 20, it would be high-
ly unlikely that he would be draft-
ed, administration officials say.
Sen. John Stennis (D-Miss),
chairman of the Armed Services
Committee, warned liberal sen-
ators that any attempts to amend
the bill on the floor would prompt
him to withdraw it, killing all
chances for its passage this year.
