Justice
comes
to Kent?
(Continued from Page 1)
In concluding, the jury found
the Kent administration guilty of
"laxity. over-indulgence and per-
missiveness," called the local Yip-
pies a group "of intellectual and
social misfits," and called for in-
creased effeorts "to remove all the
troublemakers ..."
Currently, Kent has its own
campus police force. This force
uses a former health building as
its headquarters. Because Kent is
a state-supported school, the city
police, the Portage County sher-
iffs department and other agencies
may come on campus without the
university's permission. There are
also said to be several FBI agents.
assigned to the campus who stay
in a motel across the street from
the campus.
However, the presence of these
and other "security measures"
don't seem to bother the vast ma-
jority of students who appear to
be largely apathetic. For those
who participated in last May's
demonstrations it was their first
involvement in protest. Most are
afraid of injunctions which pro-
hibit "marches" under the new
state law passed last summer.
In the words of student senate
member TIC Butz, the law "makes
it a felony for conspiracy to com-
mit a misdemeanor." At any "risk
of dirsuption," students may be
expelled after a hearing before a
state-appointed referee.
The referee for Kent is Seabury
Ford, the Portage county Repub-
lican chairman. Ford is also the
state-appointed assistant prosecu-
tor who has been working with the
jury in handling the indictments.
Ford recently commented that
during last May's demonstrations
the Guard "should have shot them
all (the students protesting).
Any rally students have on the
Commons now must be approved
by the Administration.
In the midst of it all, is Robert
White, president of the university
At 62, he is in poor health and
refuses to meet with students or
the press. He has reportedly pur-
chased a new home in a neigh-
boring community and is rumored
to be planning to resign.
In the meantime, the police
have been able to arrest barely
a majority of those indicted-on-
ly 13 out of the 25. Two ex-stu-
dents were already in jail, one
serving a 20-40 year sentence for
selling drugs.

said last night, and he added he
was present at Fleming's inaugu-
ration when Davis spoke as the
SGC representative.'
According to the Regents' state-
ment, when Davis' appointment by
the philosophy department came
to Varner's attention during the
summer, the chancellor had some
doubts as to whether it should be
approved.
The Nebraska Regents then sent
a university attorney to Ann Ar-
bor to investigate Davis' back-
ground. The attorney spoke to Vice
President for Academic Affairs
Allan Smith on Aug. 12, but
Smith said he gave the attorney
no new information. Less than a
week later, Davis was informed
that the Regents had rejected his
appointment.
"I was really surprised that it
.:ran into this problem," said Smith.

Davis denies that he attended
such a reception after Fleming's
inauguration. But Davis, speaking
at Fleming's inauguration as the
student representative, urged in
very strong terms that students
be given a greater voice in Uni-
versity government.
The Regents cite Davis' fast and
sit-in at the Administration Bldg.
last March in support of what the
Regents call "a student proposed
revision of Regents bylaws."
The bylaws which Davis was
demonstrating for, which would
have delegated to students juris-
diction over the enactment and
enforcement of non-academic stu-
dent rules, had been drawn up by
a student-faculty committee, and
had been approved by Senate As-
sembly, the University-wide facul-
ty representative body. The Re-
gents statement also fails to note
that Davis was a primary author
of the proposed bylaws.

MICHAEL DAVIS sits in the Administration Bldg. during his
three-day fast over revisions in the University's bylaws. This in-
cident was one of the four cited by University of Nebraska Regents
as reasons for vetoing Davis' teaching appointment there.
PULITZER WINNER:
Richard Hoftstadter,
historian, dies at 54
NEW YORK (R) - Historian
Richard Hofstadter, winner of
two Pulitzer Prizes for his live-
ly and often controversial writ-
ings on American history, died
yesterday of leukemia. He was
54.
Hofstadter, a professor at
Columbia University, was the
author of 13 books including two
Pulitzer winners - "The Age of
Reform" in 1955, and "Anti-
Intellectualism in American
Life" in 1964.
In the latter book, Hofstadter
developed a much-disputed
theory that throughout most of
America's political history "the
intellect has been for the most
part either an outsider, a ser-
vant or a scapegoat."
Admirers and critics alike ack-
nowledge Hofstadter's brilliance
in interpreting large themes in
American history and his hand-
ling of such contemporary phe-
nomena as the New Deal, Mc-
Carthyism and the conservatism
of Sen. Barry Goldwater.
He once said of the work, "I
function more as a historical
critic. I offer trial models of
historical interpretation."
Hofstadter was born in Buf-
falo, N.Y., the son of a Polish-
born furrier, and graduate from
the University of Buffalo. He
took his PhD at Columbia Uni-
versity in 1942 and joined i t s
faculty in 1946.
Survivors include his widow,
a son and a daughter. A-memor-
ial service was planned for Fri-
day at Columbia University
Chapel.
He said the Nebraska attorneyt
asked him about Davis' sit-in overo
proposed bylaw changes and his
testimony before the state legis-
lature appropriations comm~ittee.
Smith said he told the attorney
the demonstration was "as peace-
ful a one as we had ever seen,"
and that Davis had testified before
the committee as an "invited par-
ticipant."
Referring to the reasons cited
by the Regents for vetoing Davis'
appointment, Smith said, "I would
not support stopping an appoint-
ment recommended by a depart-
ment because of information of
this kind."
The Faculty Liason Committee
at Nebraska and the local chapter;
of the American Association of
University P r o f e s~s o r s (AAUP)j
have urged the 'university to pro-
vide restitution to Davis which
would probably be the difference
between his promised $9,500 salary
as an instructor at Nebraska and;
his current salary as a teaching
fellow here.
There is substantial dispute be-
tween the Nebraska Regents and.
Davis on the four incidents cited
in the Regents' statement.
