Report Shows There

Seeking Admission
By PAT O'DONOHUE
"There is definitely more college
space available this year," says
Mrs. Rose Nagelbach' of the Col-
lege Admissions Center in Evans-
ton, Ill., which matches students
with colleges. According to reports
from this and other centers with
parallel aims, there are 1.5 million
places in the country's colleges for
,. r.;freshman students.
There are three basic reasons
for the decline in applicants:
-The tremendous growth of

leges were built within the last
year;

MICHAEL KINDMAN, EDITOR OF The Paper at Michigan
State University, is reportedly facing arrest because a check he
made out to the printer who now refuses to print The Paper was
made on a non-existent account. Kindman claims it is all a mis-,
take that was caused because he did not realize The Paper had
withdrawn its account from the bank it had been using. He says
it is all being straightened out now.
At the same time, the East Lansing chapter of the American
Civil Liberties Union has condemned the University's action in
withdrawing authorization from The Paper.

crossed the Communist China border into Hong Kong early today
with his Chinese wife and their small son and daughter.
Adams, from Mephis, Tenn., had been expected to cross the
border May 9 after Chinese officials notified Hong Kong authori-

the delay.
KAMPALA, UGANDA W)-PRESIDENT Milton Obote said
last night he had documentary evidence that the kabaka or king
of Buganda, Sir Edward Mutesa, planned as early as April 12 a
"full scale rebellion" against Obote's central government.
Obote told Parliament that security forces had taken over
all the kabaka's palaces in the Buganda kingdom, a province of
Uganda. There are several royal palaces besides the main one at
Mengo, outside Kampala.
But the president made no mention of the kabaka's present
whereabouts, and his fate remained unknown.
Reports reaching Nairobi, Kenya, said persons close to the
kabaka hinted he was safe, free and probably out of the country.

C il
Senators View
NATO Action
WASHINGTON (P) - There is
strong sentiment in the Senate for
reducing United States troop com-
mitments to North Atlantic Treaty
Organization nations, an Asso-
ciated Press survey has disclosed.
Forty-four senators said they
favored eventual withdrawal of a
substantial portion of the six U.S.
divisions of 225,000 American
fighting men massed along the
Iron Curtain.
But of this group, only 15 said
they would cut U.S. forces to a
token level of one division at this
time as suggested recently by Sen-
ate Democratic Leader M i k e
Mansfield.

to those students coming in at the
junior level.
After reviewing the situation
this year, however, they have
found that they are still able to
take a fair number of sophomores,
though still giving preference to
would-be juniors, because the ac-
tual increase in transfer students
is off the anticipated number by
10 per cent.
It appears that the University
is not one of those colleges with
room to spare in the freshman
class. The number of applications
exceeds the amount actually ac-
cepted by almost 300 per cent and
as a result, the competition re-
mains fairly nerve-racking.
One possible way to alleviate
this situation might be by admit-
ting more students in the winter
and spring-summer semester.

Demonstrators Line
Mourners' Route To

HUE, South Viet Nam (P)-A
Buddhist funeral in this center
of die-hard antigovernment re-
sistance turned into an anti-
American demonstration early to-
day.
Thousands of mourners, many
of thema carrying banners criticis-
ing the United States, -lined the
processional route for blocks.
Speakers at the Dieu De pagoda
attacked U.S. support of Premier
Nguyen Cao Ky and the chief of
state, Lt. Gen. Nguyen Can Thieu.
One of the most vehement
speakers was Bui Tuong Huan,
rector of Hue University.
"For a fortnight Thieu and Ky's
troops have been striving to take
control over Da Nang city," Huan
said. "Modern weapons, fighter
planes, heavy tanks, most power-
ful military means provided them
through American aid, have b'een
used to slaughter our fellow
countrymen, Buddhist monks and
believers.
"In using weapons provided by
the U.S.A. to spread bereavement
and provoke a fraticidal war,
Thieu and Ky had no other ob-
jective than to assauge their de-
sire to remain in power," he con-
tended.
The university rector, who
identified himself as chairman of
the Vietnamese Buddhist force in
the Van-Hanh region, said the
Saigon military regime was aimed
at wiping out Buddhism and
Buddhists.
"With a view to crushing down
the militarist dictatorship set up
by Thieu and Ky at the cost of the
lifeblood of our countrymen and
Buddhists, we appeal to the people
of the U.S.A., asking them to
prevent their government from
indulging them in a policy of ob-
solete colonialism which would not
only provoke the despise (sic) of
the free world for the U.S.A. but
also provide Communist propa-
ganda with tangible evidence,"
Huan said.
"We appreciate the generosity
of the U.S. people who have ex-
tended to us aids in manpower
and financial power for the noble
purpose of helping us in our fight
against Communist aggression, to
preserve freedom. Nevertheless we
protest the colonialist policy pur-
sued by the American government
which blindly puts its lackys in
Viet Nam."
After the speachmaking, the
funeral procession filed across the
Perfume River and moved slowly
to a cemetery.
The funeral was for a Viet-
namese army second lieutenant
who fired last week at a helicop-
ter carrying Brig. Gen. Huylnh
Van Cao, commander of the First
Army Corps. Huynah Van Cao, a
gunner aboard the helicopter, re-
turned the fire and kille'd the
lieutenant.
The procession stretched for
more than two miles and wound
across the ity to the U.S. consu-
late on the southwestern edge of
town.
Vice Consul James R. Bullington
of Chattanooga, Tenn., said the
street in front of the consulate
normally is not used for funerals.

Fulbright concluded by saying
the United States is following the
pattern of the great nations of the
past. "We are not worse, but we
are too similar," he said.
The existence of nuclear weap-
ons has changed that pattern, Ful-
bright said, and he added it is the
duty of psychologists such as the
witnesses to help change the pat-
terns of international action.
