North Vietnamese commanders also learned some lessons: Com- munist Chinese propaganda that America was a paper tiger did not apply to the rugged young men of Gen. Westmoreland's s w e llin g command. Communist troops are proud of their discipline under fire, their aggressiveness and will to win. They found an enemy that could match them in these traits. They found that the American formula to win, with the South Vietnamese army unable to stem the tide, was effective after all. Anerican air and artillery took a terrible retribution when the Communists hit an American unit. Jungle hideouts safe since the early days of the French war were hammered by B-52s and long- range artillery. Weary Communist commanders learned that even such redoubts as War Zone D and nune to a sudden visit by troop- laden helicopters. Allied Strategy Simple Allied strategy was strangely simple compared to the vast com- plexities of a war in which polit- ical and military considerations share importance. First, the enemy's big units must be found and hit with swift attacks in a series of meat-grin- der operations that would grad- ually force the enemy to break up into smaller and smaller units for survival. As the big units were forced out of their old stomping grounds, government t r o o p s, political cadres, teachers and administra- tion would come in behind to ex- tend the area under'Saigon's con- Bishop Reubf trol. This is generally referred to as pacification. Cut Enemy Supply Lines Meanwhile, ground troops in South Viet Nam and Navy and Air Force warplanes in the North and in Laos cut the enemy's sup- ply lines to halt or slow the Com- munists' ability to move in fresh troops and material, especially such items as ammunition, food and medicine. A year and a half after the first U.S. ground combat units arrived and five years after President Kennedy sent the first combat ad- visers, the best than can be said is that the over-all plan is in its beginning stages. U.S. and allied troops are engaging only about five per cent of the reported Com- munist force in the South. Nicholson M/C Sales 224 S.

Giving him all this power is a way of building him up: again," the official said. Another official charged that "the very necessity of having to enumerate all these powers of the Vice-Pres- ident reaffirms the low status of Cutler's office. If he really had power and the full respect of others there would be no need to spell out all this new authority." However, Prof. Robert Knauss of the law school who chaired a recent Senate Assembly Commit- tee on University Affairs commit- tee on student participationhere said he thought "there should be a complete review of non-aca- demic discipline," as provided for in the new regulations. Consultation Knauss added that he thought "It would have been better to get wide consultation with students and faculty before bringing the new regulations to the Regents." John Manning, assistant to as- sociate Dean James H. Robertson of the literary college said he was deeply concerned about the sud- den change in policy. "Until now no student at the university could be expelled with- out the explicit approval of his college. Both the faculty code and a long respected tradition have i However, another SGC member insisted on direct faculty involve-:Ruth Baumann, '68, took a dimmer ment in such cases." "It appears that this is sud- denly no longer guaranteed by the Regents, I find it difficult to understand why Dr. Cutler would recommend unilaterally the abro- gation of such a guarantee even if he intends to maintain the prac- tices of the past." Kaplan Prof. Abraham Kaplan of the view of the sitain "Our power, whatever we have left (on SGC), seems to be merely temporary--subject to removal by Cutler at any time. Even the SGC plan is subject to change via his office." "It seems ironic that on the same day that the Regents ap- proved the plans for the advisory committees to the Vice-Presidents they gave Cutler almost absolute -1 q 3 Subscribe to The Michigan Daly OK Owl Ther'sa certain pride of philosophy department said that power over student non-academic he "supported Cutler's view that affairs and student organizations." there has to be some ultimate__ source of authority." He added, however, that while he "felt the new proposal is some- thing that needs to be done," he opposed putting "the emphasis on AsM anila iM eet the rules and punishments for the rules."

Today, a full 13 years later, I am still writing this column, for my interest in undergraduates is as been and lively as ever. This is called "arrested development." But where else can a writer find a subject as fascinating as the American campus? Where else are minds so nettled, bodies so roiled, psyches so unglued? Right now, for example, though the new school year has just begun, you've already encountered the following dis- asters: 1. You hate your teachers. 2. You hate your courses. 3. You hate your room-mates. 4. You have no time to study. 5. You have no place to study. Friends, let us, without despair, examine your problems one by one. 1. You hate your teachers. For shame, friends! Try looking at things their way. Take your English teacher, for instance. Here's a man who is one of the world's authorities on Robert Browning, yet he wears $30 tweeds and a pre-war necktie while his brother Sam, a high school dropout, earns 70 thou a year in aluminum siding. Is it so hard to understand why he writes "F" on top of your themes and "Eeeyich!" in the margin? Instead of hating him, should you not admire his dedication to scholarship, his disdain for the blandishments of commerce? Of course you should. You may flunk, but Pippa passes. 2. You hate your courses. You say, for example, that you don't see the use of studying Macbeth when you are majoring in veterinary medicine. You're wrong, friends. Believe me, some day when you are running a busy kennel, you'll be mighty glad you learned "Out, damned Spot!" 3. You hate your room-mates. This is, unquestionably, a big problem-in fact, the second biggest problem on American campuses. (The first biggest, of course, is on which side of your mortar board do you dangle the tassel at Commencement?) But there is an answer to the room- mate problem: keep changing room-mates. The optimum interval, I have found, is every four hours. 4. You have no time to study. Friends, I'm glad to re- port there is a simple way to find extra time in your busy schedule. All you have to do is buy some Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades. Then you won't be wasting pre- cious hours hacking away with inferior blades, mangling your face again and again in a tedious, feckless effort to winnow your whiskers. Personna shaves you quickly and slickly, easily and breezily, hacklessly, scrapelessly, tug- lessly, nicklessly, scratchlessly, matchlessly. Furthermore, Personna Blades last and last. Moreover, they are avail- able both in double-edge and Injector style. And, as if this weren't enough, Personna is now offering you a chance to grab a fistful of $100 bills. The Personna Super Stainless Steel Sweepstakes is off and running! You can win $10,000 and even more. Get over to your Personna dealer for de- tails and an entry blank. Don't just stand there! 5. You have no place to study. This is a thorny one, I'll admit, what with the library so jammed and the dorms so noisy. But with a'little ingenuity, you can still find a quiet, deserted spot-like the ticket office of the lacrosse team.. Or a testimonial dinner for the dean. Or the nearest re- cruiting station.
