Koch, fired from his post at the University of Illinois for his expression of views advocating pre- marital sexual relations, yesterday called for a moral code based on scientific studies. Koch, who received his Ph.D. in botany from the University in 1950, has been under attack from Michigan State University Presi- dent John A. Hannah and the MSU Conservative Club for the ideas he expressed in four lectures on the East Lansing campus last week. Answers Hannah Rebutting the Hannah statement, concerning Koch's doubts about the meaning of the family unit and the sanctity of the marriage vows: he said: "By avoiding the is- Humphrey, EKirk Debate Social Policy By BEATRICE TEODORO Anyone who doesn't think tha social reform is a "revolution of rising expectations" perpetrated by people who want a better life is "missing one of the basic facts of our time," Sen. Hubert Hum. phrey (D-Minn) said yesterday. Russell Kirk, however, supported "evolution as opposed to revolu- tion" and "continuity, not replace. ment" in the Challenge debate on American Foreign Policy To. ward Emerging Nations. Kirk is editor of "Modern Age: A Con. servative Review." "Politics cannot be transplantec but must grow out of the culture, he said. Reform may "supplant justice for a time, but the cultur will eventually reassert itself." Use Any Means This was in contrast to Hum- phrey's comments that developing nations were "tired of the past' and would use any means "to gair tomorrow." Revolution exists in areas where people are exploited by "white races and native tyrannies." They are now learning about democratic doctrines and will not bear ex- ploitation any longer, Humphrey said. "These people want not only goods, but freedom. They hate domination more than poverty and demand recognition and status." Kirk maintained that "people are fortunate if the government is stable and just. People are not made for perfection." Emphasized Tradition He emphasized that govern- ments should have great regard for tradition. "Politics is taught through historical process," he said. He cited Pakistan as an example of stable government which was "founded on religious tradition and respect for the past." The debaters differed also as to the role of America in these areas of "social ferment." Humphrey called for consolidat- ed effort on the part of the free world acting, as one entity," to "combat the conditions which make totalitarianism possible," such as illiteracy and poverty. U.S. Overdrawn He supported a multilateral pro-. gram fo "massive economic as- sistance" but at the same time warned against "checkbook di- plomacy," saying it was a "colossal failure and the United States is already overdrawn." This economic aid would be directed toward those nations which made a "sincere effort to- ward internal reform and toward boardening the base of privilege," Humphrey said. Both agreed that foreign policy should not be directed toward "transforming the world into the American image." Kirk warned against the false expectation that new nations "are going to develop into little copies of the United States." Humphrey stressed that the United States take the lead, "with humility" in organizing and pooling the skills of the free world. Syria Cancels Band Concert DAMASCUS, Syria () - The Ministry of Education vesterarv sues and referring to my views as repugnant, In bad taste, and ini- mical to the best interests of the society,' President Hannah has alignedhimself with the forces of reaction rather than with those of education." He also said, "Academic free- dom in America is severely lim- ited. If someone expresses a non- conformist view, he is exposed to certain very heavy social pres- sures. In my case, it was loss of my job and ostracism. Limitation of Free Speech "Trying to distinguish academic freedom and something called 're- sponsibility' is ridiculous. It is a paper distinction which in prac- tice amounts to the limitation of free speech." He noted that the only regulat- tion of free 'speech he would allow is in interpersonal relations where one person held a psychological weapon' over the other. He cited adult, child and employer-employe relationships as examples of such situations. "There is a definite ethical problem involved in these," he said. Measure Response Commenting on his present lec- ture tour, he said, "Direct re- sponse has been in inverse- pro- portion to the age of the audience. "The system has a way of sol- idifying and censoring the minds of people as they grow older. So far, the most enthusiastic response I have received has been here at MSU." He also charged that his views have often been misrepresented, Advocates Permissive Affection "I do not advocate free love as the conservative club charged. Rather, I advocate what Dr. Ira Rice calls 'permissiveness with af- fection' as opposed to 'permissive- ness h.vt affection' which is what most people associate with* the term 'free love'." Calling for a scientific investi- gation into questions of morality, he. said, "I cannot conceive of any other means of education that will lead to a worlkable solution. Other means have led to wide- spread hypocrisy. My ideas are al- ready accepted; people are just afraid of expressing them in pub- lic." Rusk Pledges U.S. To Support WASHINGTON (P) - Secretary of State Dean Rusk said last night he expects a cease-fire to be an- nounced for Laos within the next 24-48 hours. He pledged the United States will try to establsh a neutral, in- dependent Laos through negotia- tion. Addressing the American So- ciety of Newspaper Editors, Rusk gave American confirmation that the long-sought cease-fire for the troubled Southeast Asian country is now in sight just around the corner. British officials in London re- ported yesterday that Britain and the Soviet Union have settled all the political terms of an agree- ment for a truce in Laos by next week. Informants in London said a joint appeal -by Britain and Russia will be made to Laotians to lay down their arms within 24 or 48 hours. Rusk cautioned, however, that the international conference slaied to follow on Laos' future will in- volve tough bargaining with the Reds. He said we cannot underestimate "the danger and the complexity of these negotiations." Agree on Neutrality He said both the Communists and the non-Communist powers agree Laos should be "neutral" like Austria but the big question is whether the Reds mean the same thing by that word as do the non-Communists. Meanwhile Soviet planes have; been airlifting arms to the rebels daily. The United States in ihe past few days started changing1 its military advisers in Laos to uniformed men who are supposed to go into the combat areaswith Royal Lao government troops. Warns About Viet Nam Rusk balanced off his promising report on Laos by warning the editors that the deteriorating sit-j uation in Viet Nam is causings serious concern in Washington. It opens the prospect that "as one crisis area leaves the head-, lines, the posibility is that another will take its place," he said. The true neutrality and inde- pendence of Laos is "critical to the security of Southeast Asia,"1 Rusk said. The prospect of a ceasefire- which Rusk said he expected "un- less untoward event happen" - would throw into a new phase a problem which the United States government has considered one of the most serious on the cold war scene. Washington has been seeking a stop to the fighting with increas- ing urgency since the pro-Com-r munist rebels began their current drive last December.

These plus a great winning ef- fort of 54'8%/4" by Ray Locke in the shot put gave the Wolverines five firsts to go with two sec- onds and three thirds. No Team Score No team score was kept, but the Wolverines didn't care. They even left before the whole show was over. It was the weather which kept Michigan from trying to equal last year's output of five relay wins. The meet was running more than an hour behind schedule as it was, and the mile relay was to be the last on the program. Canham Leaves Coach Don Canham decided it wasn'tworth sticking around, so he scratched Michigan- in that event and pulled the team out right before the relay. It would have been hard to find four men who hada't already done a day's work. "You have to run harder to get a slower time," ex- plained Assistant Coach Elmer Swanson about the wet track. Tom Robinson, who is watching a sore back, didn't make the trip. The distance medley relay (880, 440, 1,320, mile) was first on the list for the Wolverines.

By RISA AXELROD Highlighting the 1961 Ann Ar-_ bor Drama Season, which will be- gin May 16, are Faye Emerson, Rural Parish Votes, To Close Public Schools GREENSBURG, La. (JP)--Voters in Louisiana's St. Helena Parish (county) lined up solidly today behind a move to abolish public schools rather than have them desegregated. Complete returns from all six wards in the rural , parish of Southeast Louisiana showed 1,147 votes to close the schools and only 56 against. Parish officials said only four of 111 registered Ne- groes voted in the election. The parish school board called for the election in face of a' Federal Court order that demaned desegregation in the public schools but set no date for such desegre- gation. Under a new state law, the pro- posal at issue would authorize, not' require, the six-man St. Helena School Board to close the four white and nine Negro public schools. Prince Edward county, Virginia, is the only other county in the nation which does not have public schools. They were closed two years ago to avoid compliance with Federal desegregation rul- ings.

"I see no other way they could get there," he told a $25-a-plate Georgia Republican fund-raising dinner audience. "Only one power could have gotten them there- the United States Navy." Emergecy Proclaimed By de Gaulle De Pouilly Retreats; Junta Seizes Oran, Enters West Algeria PARIS (MP)-The French gov- ernment said last night the right- wing military junta which seized Algiers in a bloodless coup yester- day' has extended its control to Western Algeria by taking over the city of Oran. The coup prompted President Charles de Gaulle to assume ex- traordinary police powers and call a cabinet session which pro- claimed a state of emergency in France. A government announcement said detachments of French for- eign legion paratroopers supported by the mass of European settlers in Oran, took over in the city un- der the insurrectional regime of Gen. Maurice Challe. Moves Post The announcement said Gen. de Pouilly, Oran comandant, re- mained loyal to de Gaulle and moved his command post to the city of Tlemcen. The sudden stroke by the junta split the 500,000-man French army in Algeia into rival groups. Com- munications with the vast French territory across the Mediterranean were cut off and the only word from Algeria came from broad- casts over Radio Algiers in the name of Challe. Thepre-dawn coup established Challe's control of Algiers with- out bloodshed or obvious opposi- tion. But most of Algeria-outside of Algiers and Oran-apparently remained loyal to de Gaulle, supporting his plans to start negotiations with nationalist reb- els for an end to the nearly seven-year-old Algerian rebellion and eventual independence from France. Extend Control Radio Algiers had announced earlier that the junta had ex- tended control to Oran with the backing of the garrison there. The Algiers radio said younger officers had forced de Pouilly to bow to the "imperatives" of the army. The general was sent off to duty with a unit in the field against the Algerian nationalists. According to the broadcast monitored in Marseille, the action against de Pouilly was in effect a mutiny by the younger officers, supported by the mass of the European population of Oran. Gardy Takes Power The broadcast said a Gen. Gardy would take over full civil and military power in Oran in place of de Pouilly. The government announcement said that two de Gaulle lieuten- ants who flew into Oran this morning with full powers to put down the insurrection were "as- suming their responsibilities." This apparently meant that Louis Joxe, Algerian affairs min- ister, and Gen. Jean Olie, named by de Gaulle as commander-in- chief for all Algeria, had escap- ed capture by the dissidents. Earlier reports said they had set up headquarters at Merse-El- Kebir, a heavily defended naval base outside Oran. The govern- ment said the two had inspected areas outside Algiers and Oran which still are loyal to de Gaulle.

He promised, however, to resist any change in the Constitutional protections of the three major state universities. "We cannot afford to permit the intervention of any more politics or even legislative control in the governing of these universities," he declared. He pledged he will extensively study the issues the convention will face and participate fully in the meeting.

Their completely original skit depicted the struggle for power by the Bluesheviks, rebels conspiring against the Matski aristocracy. The Bluesheviks were victorious due to the ingenious plan of a lowly piano player, who also won the love of the heroine, Gypsy Blue Rose. Enter Dennis the Menace The Maize skit showed the loss of love in the world through Cupid's loss of his slingshot. He eventually found it in the hands of Dennis the Menace who had used it unwittingly and matched the wrong lovers together. Cupid, of course, resolved the problem and all were happy in the end. . . . ......... ............. .. s..- --- . rf
