Athletic turds: Youth vote to stave dissent

A&
tr4to n

HOUSTON, Tex. (VP)-Some of the nation's col-
legiate athletic directors say granting of voting rights
to 18-year-old will ease campus tensions.
Others say militants merely will turn to other
campus causes.
Bill Orwig of Indiana, president of the National
Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics, says
the change could be helpful.
"It's one of the big issues with students," Orwig
said. "By removing one of the big issues, you are
removing one of the big problems. Most students want
to get involved in the political process. If 18-year-olds
vote, the privilege will appeal to the rational minds."
Orwig and Wade Stinson of Kansas spoke in an
interview yesterday at the association convention
about the voting bill President Nixon signed Monday.
Stinson says lowering the voting age will salve
some feelings.
"Even if 18-year-olds vote, though, I'm convinced
the student radicals will find other causes," Stinson
said. "Some radicals would still disrupt just for the

publicity they'd get out of it. I'm talking about
people who don't excel academically or athletically."
Alexander Durley, athletic- director at Prairie
View A&M, said there still is danger from the cam-
pus disrupter.
"Even if he gets involved and votes, he still might
not be deterred," Durley said.
"I've already heard about one Negro school where
some problems are expected at football games. The
SDS is supposed to be organizing to work against
college football. There are supposed to be plans already
made, not only for thise year, for next year, too."
Durley said Prairie View has not had too many
problems.
"We have ROTC on campus and both the students
and faculty seem to be proud of it," he said. One of
our football captains for this fall is also a captain in
ROTC. We have plenty of athletes who want to be
as unlike the establishment as possible but they're not
disrupters."

Stinson said not all of the troublemakers at Kansas
have been students.
"Nine-nine per cent of our students don't get into
trouble," he said. "I don't know how we can solve the
problem of the outsider coming on campus and start-
ing trouble. The violence at Kansas has not involved
the athletic department."
Stinson said one athlete was dismissed last month.
In other action the chairman of-the NCAA Bas-
ketball Tournament Committee said he hopes 32 in-
stead of 25 teams will be competing in the National
Championship playoffs within a few years.
"I'm not exactly optimistic, but we'll be discussing
the matter again at our summer meeting in July,"
said Tom Scott, Athletic director at Davidson.
"Some people think the idea has the objective
of eliminating the National Invitational Tournament
at Madison Square Garden, but thatt simply isn't so.
A 32-team bracket is ideal and something must be
wrong if we can't fill one."

Major League Standings}

Windows in several University build-
ings were smashed last night as up to 300
people marched through the campus in a
protest against the announcement Mon-
day of widened U.S. air strikes in Cam-
bodia.
Hardest hit was North Hall, the ROTC
classroom and office building, where sev-
eral dozen windows were broken by a
small band of the marchers.
Other University buildings that were
damaged, although not heavily, included
the Physics and Astronomy, East Medical
and Engineering Bldgs. Police re-
fused to give any estimate of damages.
The marchers, lead by members of
several radical campus groups, also block-
ed the intersection of South- and East
University Avenues for about an hour
before peacefully breaking up about 11
p.m.
There was no police interference with
the march although several plainclothes-
men. including Det. Lt. Eugene Stauden-
maier, maintained a close watch on the
protesters.
The Cambodian Day Action Commit-
tee, an ad hoc group which planned the
march, issued a statement after the
event saying, "Last night's activities are
a reaction to the Nixon administration's
decision to expand U.S. Air Force bomb-
ing raids to the whole of Cambodia."
The group promised further action in
the next week "to make sure all the
troops and bombs are out of, Cambodia"
but did not go into detail about specific
plans,
"We will not stand idly by while geno-
cide is committed in Cambodia as it has
been in Vietnam," the statement said.
Last night's march began as about 100

people gathered in front of the Engineer-
ing Arch at 9 p.m. Carrying a Viet Cong
flag several dozen marchers walked down
E. University Ave. urging spectators to
join them.
The resulting crowd walked back to
the Arch and heard two speakers de-
nounce U.S. actions in Cambodia. "Our
business is to get Nixon out of Southeast
Asia," declared a woman.
"We should be in the street to protest
this bombing," another leader of group
said. "The same thing that's happening
in Cambodia is happening here-people
being smashed because they want to live
their own lives."

The speakers linked the situation in
Cambodia to what they described as "re-
pression at home." The Cambodia Day
Action Committee will stage further ac-
tion around the upcoming trial of Black
Panther Bobby Seale and others, they
said.
About 200 people then began the march
down East University Ave. and north
down State St., two Viet Cong flags car-
ried at the head of the procession. Dozens
of-spectators walked along with the pro-
testers along the sidelines.
