Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - November 14, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it pleasant news vol. 92, no. 269 it. Pleasant Iowa saturday evening november 14, 1970 Price to cents colder Jeffrey Hart the Brewst ecologists a new sort of specialist has begun to appear on the american Campus the Lodge brother of the Kremlin Logist and the Nix nolo Gist. Now we have the Brewster olo gifts a those who on the Assumption that Yale a president Kingman Brewster jr., cannot possibly mean what he says because it is inconceivable anyone could mean that try to fathom his deeper meaning his True meaning. The Brewst ecologists fasten on certain key words in his headline making pronouncements. For example on that a in his statement of last april that he was a that a Black Panther could get a fair trial in new Haven. The Brewst ecologists nod sagely and say a nah the Man is no fool. That was his escape Hatch. He did not you notice commit himself to the proposition that the trial would be unfair. He Only seemed to do so. But All he said was that he was Why however the Bre Sterian sinus Sites the Brewst ecologists have a theory. During the month of april Brewster found himself in a really ghastly bind at Yale. The government was putting the presumptive Black Panther murderers of Alex Rackley on trial practically on Yale a Doorstep. Huge rallies were scheduled in behalf of the defendants. All across the country the movement was toward new Haven. Too cannily Brewster made his move a masterpiece of conflict management. The conflict manager is a distinctly contemporary Type who rides out a crisis without los ing anything or at least without losing anything that he himself can perceive. The leading axiom of conflict management goes As follows first define the source of maximum danger to your institution then go As far As you can to identify yourself with this source of danger Short of a note giving away anything institutional anything of Yale a. Yale was in some degree of danger. Brewster would not be a Grayson Kirk Hasty sacrifice to the radicals much less a Hayakawa. An implied attack upon the american judicial system was a Small Price to to get the Campus radicals off his Back. And when then he was attacked by Spiro Agnew he must have Felt like a Small boy on Christmas morning. The Brewst ecologists Are now decoding his most recent pronouncement. With the Campus left trying to make the Kent state indictments a new source of institutional disruption with the Kent state student body president Craig Morgan calling for a moratorium on classes to protest the indictments of among others himself the experienced Brewster Logist could have predicted the next move of the Yale conflict manager. He must co opt the whole Issue. It will be his Issue not the radicals. And to even As anticipated Kingman Brewster spoke before a gathering of Yale a most influential alumni and identified Craig Morgan As a a Symbol of civil liberties under attack a urging a fall of you who Are believers in civil liberties and civil rights sic to speak Upton taken literally of course this is putrid nonsense but no sophisticated person would take it literally. Brewster knows As Well As anybody else May better since he is a lawyer that hundreds of indictable offences were committed at Kent state University on the weekend of May 1-4 arson rioting looting physical assault a you name it. He knows that no one indicated by the Ohio grand jury has yet been denied due process. He does not know what evidence there May in fact be against any of the indicted individuals. For All he knows Craig Morgan who would prefer to move his trial into the streets May be guilty. But As a conflict manager say the Brewst ecologists Kingman Brewster care less. In any potential confrontation he will move to placate if not exactly join the radicals. He May save Yale a bricks and mortar. And for that great end crimes against reason and Honor Are a Small Price to . Distributed by King features Syndicate legislators discuss use of institutions Des Moines up a a state legislator Friday accused the Iowa department of social services of unnecessary duplication of services and suggested consolidating the four mental health institutions in dim Chance for two proposed amendments Washington up a two proposed constitutional amendments appear to have Only a dim Chance of being approved before the 91st Congress goes out of business next month. The proposals a one guaranteeing equal rights for women and the second providing for direct popular election of the president a both passed the House by overwhelming margins. But they bogged Down in the Senate where it would take a iwo thirds vote to Clear them for the required approval by three quarters of the states. Too when the Post election session of Congress opens monday the women a rights amendment technically will be the Senate spending business. Unless the proposal can be rescued from crippling riders already attached to it however there is Little likelihood it will come up for a vote. Instead the Senate will devote most of its remaining Days to such must Bills As appropriation measures social Security increases Trade and welfare Reform. Of o o the election Reform amendment also is technically alive. It remains on the Senate Calendar eligible for debate and consideration anytime the Senate leaders want to take it up. But they Are unlikely to do so since backers could not Muster a two thirds majority to break a Southern led filibuster against it on two previous occasions. Too both amendments too Are tied up subtly with presidential politics. The chief sponsor of both is sen. Birch Bayh d-ind., seen by some a a contender for the presidential nomination in 1972. Some senators Are not interested in adding Lustre to his chances by helping make him a hero to women who make up More than half of the electorate. Others see a sure boost in Bayhl a popularity if the direct popular election of presidents becomes Law. Terse verse by a c. Gordon after dinner speech like a wheel entire longer is the spoke. In greater is the tire.

Most of the fighting involving americans was in the Northern Quarter of South Vietnam officials said. In Cambodia communist forces launched a fresh attack against the Airfield at Kampong Cham 60 Miles Northeast of phenom penh at dusk Friday but Allied air support drove them off government military spokesmen said today.

Gillman Admi ted there is duplication of services and said part of the problem comes because Iowa currently has no director of mental health. A i agree with you too per cent a he told the committee. A we done to have the supervision and administration we need because we Lack a Gillman said he has been trying to fill the position but certain aspects of the Job a including the salary have slowed Down the process. Too sen., Quentin Anderson a Beaconsfield accused Gillman of deliberately trying to let the mental health Institute at Clarinda deteriorate to Force its closing. A when we visited the institution a Anderson said a we found cobwebs on the ceiling and cig Aret Butts on the floor. It is evident to me the administration of that institution is a i have not and will not attempt to let it run Down to prompt its closing a Gillman responded. A to destroy a Plant is not my Anderson said Clarinda is a a big business. We have very few of these institutions in Southern too also coming under fire at the meeting were newly constructed buildings at some institutions being used for purposes for which they were not intended. Radi said a Hospital at the boys training school at Eldora a a is a simply an infirmary where you can to even get a tooth the Bocc urged that it be consulted on All proposed capital improvement projects and urged the state to hire an architect to guard against a inefficient buildings programs around the state. Too sen. Lee Gaudineer d Des Moines suggested and received nearly unanimous support for a move to destroy records of rehabilitated juvenile offenders when they reach age 21.
