Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - August 25, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa Section one 2 sections the it pleasant news fair no. 92, no. 200 it. Pleasant Iowa tuesday evening August 25, 1970 Price to cents these Days by John Chamberlain will there be a stiffening on the campuses a great Deal this coming autumn will depend on the campuses if they a blow a it should make for a really conservative year at the november polls. The politicians however cannot really count on a a worse the bet term situation. Maybe we shall have a Calm october. One detects a stiffening at the moment on the part of the authorities at Stanford University in California where student unrest has been rumbling for a Long time there is a summer upsurge of toughness. Dearmund r. Mcguire a 28-year-old former Stanford graduate student who returned to his Alma mater to take part in anti Roto demonstrations in the Spring has been found guilty by a jury on charges of malicious mischief. One of the counts against Mcguire who had been the editor of a Radical newspaper the Plain rapper was lamp breaking in front of the building that houses the Roto. The Issue might seem Petty but the interesting thing is that Stanford students volunteered to act As witnesses for the prosecution. Ray White and Roger Reed members of the free Campus movement a conservative group came through with the testimony that caused the jury to crack Down on Mcguire. Thus while an advisory committee headed by Chancellor Alexander heard of Vanderbilt University has been trying to shift the Burden for pacifying the campuses to the White House itself conservative students at Sanford have been taking matters into their own hands. The Stanford free Campus movement agrees with president Nixon that it is up to the local supporters of Law and order to Stop the vandalism that has become almost a curricular requirement at so Many of our schools. Too at Little Rockford College in Illinois which is headed by president John a Howard an adviser to Nixon on academic finance vandalism leached an All time High during the 1969-70 semesters. The Honor system which had hitherto worked with some effectiveness seemed to be breaking Down. President Howard and the Rockford trustees have Hopes that the Honor system can by rescued from its state of Quot erosion a but they Arentt taking any chances. For the coming year an administrative disciplinary committee appointed by the president will take action on disciplinary problems and when a violation involves a breach of Public Law a probation suspension or dismissal from the colleges will follow. The Scranton committee in Washington investigating the background of the Kent state University rioting and deaths gave preferred time to leftist characters who did their Best to put All the blame for Campus unrest on vice president agnews rhetoric. And when the committee shifted its hearings to los Angeles it featured the testimony of or. Richard flacks a University of California at Santa Barbara professor of sociology who had been a founder of students for a democratic society. In letting the left get its testimonial innings in first the Scranton committee tacitly cooperated with the anti Agnew forces for it is fully understood by All experts on the subject that it is the Early testimony that commands the headlines. The big thing is to catch the afternoon papers too True enough the Scranton committee did listen to the sober statements of professor Sidney Hook president of the University centers for rational alternatives and Bill Scranton paid or. Hook the compliment of saying that he had come up with the first practical proposal for a strategy to limit Campus violence. But somehow or. Hooks testimony did no to make any headlines. The timing was off. Or. Hook bore Down on a administrative cowardice and a administrative Connivance with the student demonstrators. He proposed that the colleges set up representative assemblies of faculties students and administrators to draft principles governing the expression of dissent. In Case of forcible disregard of a code of behaviour violates would be subject to prompt punishment. And should the universities prove unable to enforce their own codes courts would be asked to step in with injunctive Relief. Police action would follow in the event that injunctions Are disobeyed. After commending Hook Scranton can hardly ignore him in the final committee wrap up. So we May be saved after All from another fiasco such As the one perpetrated by the Kerner committee which Agnew meets Strong opposition in Seoul Seoul up a vice president Spiro t. Agnew ran into Strong opposition from president Park Chung Hee today in six hours of talks on the Nixon administrations plans to withdraw part of the american military Force from South Korea.

Too a . Official described the session today As a a delicate and said Park had raised matters which Agnew did not anticipate requiring the vice president to seek advice from the White House. The six hour session today became so intense sources said that Park and Agnew skipped lunch and talked until Sunset. Parks stance today appeared based on a suspicion widely held among . Asian allies that the planned shift by the Nixon administration from american manpower to More . Military equipment is the first step toward an isolationist policy that would leave the free nations of Asia to face their communist neighbors alone. O o o in an arrival statement Here monday Agnew said the United states planned to replace american soldiers in Asia with More economic and military Aid.

They asked for $53,000 in Federal funds to help them organize a program for Des Moines Henry Lee and Washington counties. Too Schlosser said the Grant Hasni to been approved yet because the Federal government does no to know How much Money it will have available and funds must be distributed according to needs among communities seeking funds. Although the Grant is essential for getting the program underway Schlosser feels much More than Money will be needed. Just As important in the beginning and More important in the Long run will be a cooperative attitude within and Between communities he said. Too a few years ago the biggest hurdle for those concerned about drug problems was a fear of the problem itself on the part of the Public. Schlosser noted that More recently nearly every Community has become concerned to the extent that Many committees and groups Are being formed. People on committees tend to master the jargon frequently used in discussing drug problems. They then address groups As experts without really understanding the problem he said. The effect is to get More persons interested in joining the move three thefts have been reported to City police. At 12 55 pm monday Paul Welcher 310 w.

Everyone then could forget tile distinctions Between Law enforcement ministerial medical and other approaches to the problem and try to cooperatively learn what each group has to offer he said. Schlosser feels that one of the greatest problems is semantics. An example is the widespread use of the word a drug a people done to abuse drugs. They abuse themselves a Schlosser said. A i done to see it As a drug problem or a youth problem but As a people problem a he said. Schlosser said the Southeast Iowa Effort if successful could serve a a Model for a statewide program. Too one of the things communities must learn is that a a cure of addicts Isnit the most important goal of any program Schlosser said. More important Are education and prevention he said. He acknowledged that some of the persons participating in sessions conducted at the Institute attend ohly to defend their use of drugs. He and Byron Ellis another alcoholism Counselor at the Institute who has become involved with drug problems pointed out that the Public a indifference and indecision toward such drugs As pot Are barriers to a solution. Too Ellis said it Isnit valid to compare use of marijuana to use of alcohol for the simple reason that alcohol is Legal. Its users have Tim Benefit of Federal regulations to assure that they Are getting what they think they Are getting he said. Users of a a pot must obtain it illegally from those dealing in it illegally and there is no Way to Tell whether they Are buying what they think they Are buying he said.

Rockefeller faced three challengers. The first roman Aqueduct was built in 312 . Uncertain. The numbers of Low income families in the areas served accounts a part for the amount of nyc assistance approved for each county Flaatten said. Another Factor is the amount of local assistance the communities Are willing to give he said. For example the Keokuk school system provides a supervisor to work with nyc youths and the mental health clinics in Keokuk and it. Madison Are providing services to nyc.
