India tehr.ed to comply with anv ueoni

Something Wrong
I here is something wton-j; with the set-up
ol the Women's Residence Council. The ba
sic wronn is that there is a non-votiiv.; but
paitie ipatin member el the Dean ol
Women's olliie in that oraniat ion.
Then- should haw been .some awareness
be hue this ol t)r Lit t that this is in eonhadie
lion with the idea ol student ;.;owtnmcnt at
the- l'niwtsit ol North Catoliua.
The Women's Residence Council .should
be lice to act independent l ol the Dean of
Women's- oilier. It is not able- to do this now.
siixe- at the- present time there is alwas a
membc t ol the Dean of Women's olliee at
their meetings.
I he Council should be able to imite the
tcpicscntatiw when it wants her advice, but
to exclude he i when it wants to act inclc
pctnle ntl .
It is the idea that the Council can act in
dependent h that the Council should be
awaic o when t c e uilei inv, the new coed
t emulations.

r.ut it is obvious, that the laets wartant
siit h a change. It will take a mieat- deal of
coinage to lesist the piessine ol the- olliee of
the Dean ol Women. It will take as much
coinage to lesist the- pussute ot the- School

It is a step that has not been taken in wais.

would be- a woiuleilul step lotwatd.

Aside from the visual perspec
tive of the s'ruggle itself, there
is another perspective almost com
pletely ignored in any considera
tion of the matter. This perspec
tive goes beyond the limitations
of the Cuban struggle and em
brace the entire world. This per
spective alluded to is the inef
fectiveness of the superimposed
democratic ideal to completely
eliminate conflict. In the past
years a slow adjustment to the
democratic ideal with the accom
panying conflict could be tolerat
ed. Today, the world is too com
pact for this flame to exist with
out the imminent possibility of
rampage.
Applied as a law which because
of its nature will have exceptions,
this perspective can be tocused
on the great majority of other
small nations which within the
last 73 years have had the demo
cratic ideal imposed upon them,
and in most cases there is evi
dence of a harsh conflict within
the country. On the other hand,
the large countries, such as India.
hae been able to resolve their
conflicts largely by debate and
compromise.
Of course there are many- fac
tors to be considered in both
cases, and any penterating consi
deration of thp idea would reveal
a vast substructure.
The apparent conclusion for the
realist would be to eliminate the
small countries ,or hold a club
over their heads and demand that
they "be quiet" or else. Perhaps
even the realist would not want
to go so far, jet there is a de
sperate need that such conflicts
be settled as soon as possible.
But the very nature of the pro
blem is such that in present form
neither the governments of the
smaller countries plagued with
this conflict nor the governments
of the larger countries can cope
with the problem. The problem
remains as the looming trigger
to infreno.
Military Reorganization: Navy
James C. Miller
If we arc judging the climate of sentiment cor
rectly, Washington was tornadoed last week after
it became known that President had every intention
of fighting for his Defense Department reorganiza
tion plan.
It appears that the turmoil can be traced to the
Navy and her allies. The President's'plan is to makr
changes in assignment of power in the form of the
Defense Department, the Defense Secretary, and
the Joint Chiefs of Staff for greater military unity
and simplification of military complexities appar
ently developed as a result of separate administra
tion of the services on the dawn of a new age.
DILEMMA
Since the basic dilemma is the present military
organization and the question of its efficiency in
meeting the problems arising in the new misile
and outer space age, the Navy promises to be hur:
most in whatever reshuffle will take place . . . and
take place it will. Therefore, the Navy doesn't want
her fleets commanded by the Joint Chiefs. She wants
naval autonomy preserved. After all. there is a
Oddly enough this problem loom- possibility of such unify that the Navy will los
ing over the world like a black
aimei of death has a solution in
plain sight for all to see. The
I'nited States is structured with
democracy, but all conflicts are
resolved with relatively Utile phy
sical violence. Why is this so?
Democracy in a large country
works with relatively little con
flict because opinion and even
force can be use to bound re
volution within a path of evolu
tion. The small country does not
have the strength nor resources
to eio this. The solution is for the
small countries to be bound in a
union with a central government,
a large and powerful democracy,
and allow the small countries to
administer the internal. Even this
is not enough. The conflict be
tween Itussia and the United
States would spivad to these lar
ger "countries". The final solu
tion which offers the only real
avenue of escape is for there to
be a world union, a glorified
United Nations.
e
her identity. The similarity of uniforms for all the
services, along with ranks and ratings would mark
the beginning of her end. This is not to say that
ships are doomed in a short while thereafter to
extinction. This is not so predictable, but historical
identity as a separate service is.
INVOLVEMENT
Emotional involvement where identity is strong,
especially among the older commanders is not a
thing passed. However, the dramatic course of events
may have forced to a crisis the inadequacy of the
functional setup of our military machine; under
standing the Navy's problem is in order. The New
ha.sj an obligation to the Old. as the Old has one
to tjhe New. The New Order will come because de
velopment is such that it is forced.
l!be Old should try to sec this despite its sense
of belonging somewhere else. And it often happens
that the Old die old and bitter when they might
have died young and happier (if this isn't too ab
surd). But if the Old is to eventually die, then the
Nev Order can make its last days a bit happier by
prt-jparing a place for them in the New. inviting
them, with all regard to their humanity, to belong
and participate.
These davs arc not ones for denunciation! We
need mutual understanding and cooperation. Per
haps soon these will not be too ideal to live by in
the face of difference.
Education. Freedom s Dilemma

(This is the second of a se

The profession of learning and

they were young, for more useful
lies. giving them-at the same
time that thev are being trained
for greater productivity the tools
of analysis by which they can dif
ferentiate between right and
wrong, the honest and the spuri
ous, beauty and corruption. Citi
zenship requores virtue, usefulness
and boldnes; to free the mind ot
both prejudice and fear are the
demands we impose upon educa
tors, at the same time that they
exercise their functions of scho
lars and scientists. To this ex
tent educators are teachers of
morals dedicated to the pcrpitua
tion of a moral universe.
Educators are prepared for their
dual functions by universities;
standards of competence and per
formance are safeguards by these
universities, the faculties within
them, and the professional assoc
iations or learned societies to
which educators belong. In eon
sequence, universities, faculties
and academic societies must be
permitted to choose and police
their own company. Choice should
be based on technical qualifica
tions for the efficient performance
of assumed or assigned tasks4,
prior profesional experience when
necessary, and qualities of char
acter that permit men to live and
work together; policing means the
maintenance of first-class stand
ards of performance and of
abridged integrity in devotion to
scholarly and scientific truth.
The president of one of our
large American universities has
said:
This is equally so of testing
orthodox belief. In a discerning
passage, John Stuart Mill points
out that even if opinions are true,
there is a constant necessity for
demonstrating their validity. Ot
herwise w ar guided by supersti
tion and not intelligence.
The educator as teacher or
moralist lias learned other truths.
Youth is a period of challenge
and experimentation. Youth is sus
picious of indoctrination. Youth
wants to start out by assuming
that there are alternative roads
to freedom? Young men and wo
men sock to explore, debate, ques
tion every verity, every assump
tion, every custom and institution
not to reject them, necessarily,
but to test their validity with a
powerful new resource they have
discovered, their minds.
It is the function of educators,
as teachers or moralists, to let
such minds range freely. For this
reason, no body of doctrine or
belief, or, indeed, error can be
kept shut to them like a kind of
Bluebeard's chamber. They must
be permitted to read and ponder
over, see and hear and be exposed
to the writings of Marx, Freud
and Keynes, the pictures, sculp
ture and muisc of Picasso, Moore
and Stravinsky, at the same time
that they are reading, seeing and
hearing the great conservators of
our tradition and taste. "
By the same token, the open
university means that youth has
the same rights we seek for our
selves as citizens to form its own
clubs, maintain its own discussion
groups and platforms, run its
own newspapers without let or
interference on the part of uni
versity administrators or faculties.
To protect them in their later
lives from investigation for more
often than not these adventure are
only youthful peccadillos univer
sity administrators have no right
to ask for membership lists or de
mand faculty surveillance.

At about one fifteen Wednes
day morning I had just begun to
fall asleep when suddenly a voice
from nowhere shook me ino con
sciousness: "John! Get up! The
puppies are coming!" After tw
months of anxious wait it was
finally happening; Nicky, our lit
tle mongrel, was going to have
her puppies. WTe had cajoled her,
fondled her, sworn at her, petted
her, but seemingly to no avail for
days before, but she seemed to
have no desire to get rid of the
load which was daily making her
bigger and bigger, lazier and lazi- -er.
At last she was coming
through.
I tore out of bed and rushed ttf
the room where she had beeu
spending - her time during thos
weeks of worry. There she was,
lying in her box w ith a little
brown puppy just on the way out.
Three fascinated males were
squatting around the box, care
fully noting every motion of her
body. v
"God what in the world is
that?"' w as the first thing I heard.
What it was was a little sac with
a puppy inside. As soon as she
had contracted enough so that the
sac was out of her body, Nicky
quickly bit the umbilical cord
w hich ran from the puppy into
her womb, bit a hole in the sac,
and in twenty seconds had digest
de the entire thing, leaving a little
puppy squirming on the blanket
in the box.
The puppy was bloody, gelatin
ous, and quite unattractive. Nicky,
perhaps wishing to improve upon
his aesthetic appeal, took great
pains to clean him off.. After about
five minutes licking he looked
reasonably presentable .
This was only the first of many.
From one thirty until four Nicky
had puppies with astonishing regu
larity. She had them in twos; two
of them would come out in about
a minute, then she would take
about half an hour to get " them
in shape, and suddenly we would
see two more. After the first one
she had no trouble having them.
As a matter of fact, she was so
efficient I expected to see her
stand up in the middle of the
room, wagging her tail, and sud
denly raise the tail to discharge
a puppy much as one might fire
a cannon - right across the room.
We got to bed at about four
that morning, extremely tired.
When we awoke Nicky was lying
patiently in her box, giving suck
to eigrt little puppies. Three of
them are brown, three are black,
and three are spotted. She only
has seven teats, and the little
runt has been having a great
deal of trouble feeding. We've
taken to force feeding it from a
little bottle, which seems to be
adequate.
The puppies are fine now, and
will be looking for homes pretty
soon, as we cannot keep any
of them. About four have been
taken care of all ready, but if
anyone would like one and could
assure me that heshe would
take care of it, I'd be glad to
give one away. Just get in touch
with me.

DR. FRANK GRAHAM peaceful settle
ment as alternatives to the deepening differences
in an age of unprecedented peril and hope. Better
than talking at long distances across the sub-continent
is, on occasion, to talk directly to each other
in a conference at the highest possible level. The
holding of well prepared direct talks with the
desire for a settlement is more than talk: it is itseu"
an act of potentially creative faith which might
lead to steps for a fair and peaceful settlement.
These unsettled and unsettling differences be
tween two great peoples have long corroded their
relations, continuously drain off their resources, and
cut deeply into their hopeful programs for edu
cation, health, production, and welfare. Instead of
continuing endlessly the corrosive polemics of all
blame on one side and the other, the . conference
might, with' sound preparation and resolute will,
work out present steps toward a settlement: set
in motion a higher release of the productive capaci
ties of the people; and give an effective impetus to
the world's flood tide of the yearning of the people
for freedom and peace amid the hazards and hopes
of this age.
In this age, any situation engaged by UN-sponsored
resolutions cannot be isolated from the dy
namic currents of the world's concern even by the
highest mountains, whose pinnacles rise in incom
parable grandeur from the topmost "roof of th3
world." Though bright rays of light shine through
the over-hanging clouds of our time, thermonuclear
power casts its lengthening shadows across the
earth, darkening the homes and hopes of men. Al
ternative to the sudden extinction of the human
race and the destruction of the precious treasures
of the heritage from all peoples in all ages, there
rises above the authentic fear's, despair, and tumult
. of the times, the unconquerable aspiration of the
human spirit for the sublimation of thermonuclear
power in the cause of peace and the equal freedom,
dignity and opportunity of all people, East and West.
The light of faith and the fires of the inner spirit,
which, in dark times in ages past, were lighted
among Asian, African and Mediterranean people
for people in all lands, have shone most nobly in
our times in the heroic struggles, liberation, and
universal aspirations of the people of the historic
sub-continent for a freer and fairer life for a".
With their two-fold heritage of faith in the Moral
Sovereignty, which undergirds the nature of man
and the universe, and with a reverence for life chal
lenging the violent trends of the atomic era, those
peoples, in the succession of their prophetic leader
ship and great example, may again give a fresh lift
to the humane spirit of people everywhere. The
pe-oples of the world might in high response begin
again in these shadowed years to transform with
high faith and goodwill the potential forces of bit
terness, hate, and destruction, step by step through
the United Nations, toward the way of creative co
operation, economic, social, and cultural develop
ment, responsible disarmament, self-determination,
equal justice under law, and peace for all peoples
on the earth as the God-given home of the family of
man. (From a UN Security Council Report)

The birth of those puppies was
one of the most moving experi
ences I have ever witnessed.
What an amazing act of creation
it is! One little black and white
dog .all by herself, giving birth
to, feeding, and caring for, eight
little puppies.
Nicky has been such wonder
ful mother. She lies patiently in
her box while puppies crawl over
her, pull at her teats, get lost,
get taken out of the box by over
enthusiastic foster parents, fight,
and bark with their high pitched
little voices.
.As I watched Nicky give birth
to her litter, and as I watch her
taking such wonderful, loving
care of them, I can only wonder
why womankind needs so much
help. Here this little dog, 'with
no comparable rate of intelli
gence, does all the work herself
while' our mates must be oxydi
zed, hydrogenated sterilzied, chlo
roformed, anesthetized, ammoni
ated, and pampered.
Women are wonderful, sweet,
and entirely lovable. But perhaps
we are too nice to them. We
ought to try, (or one week, mak
ing our feminine population eat
its afterbirth. What a sight that
would be!

In all the dispute about the testing of nuclear
weapons, one very important fact has been com
pletely neglected: there is no good reason for de
veloping any further these terrible agents of de
struction. The United States and Russia possess sufficient
stockpiles of these weapons to effect mutual destruc
tion of the other. What more can any nation wanl?
To be sure, there may
"yr? be some point tD the de-
- .. :r t

; . ?k1i velopment of anti-missile
uuasues, dim acso more ti
fective carriers of nuclesr
warheads; but there is cer
tainly no reason for fur
ther experimentation with
the warhead itself.
There is also much talk
these days about a "clean"
nrmWNr ri nuclear weapon one
which will be relatively
free from nuclear fallout. Such a -clean" weapon
would be a nice thing to have once a war was in
progress. On the other hand, the development of a
"clean" bomb would also make war & much more
attractive proposition.
The current policy of the United States toward
the development of nuclear weapons is that oar
possession of such tools of war "dirty" at present
is the major deterrent 'to Soviet aggression.
Whether this premise is merely self-justification
or not. it seems painfully obvious that this deter
rent will be removed by the development of a
"clean" bomb. If such a bomb is developed, then
any nation contemplating nuclear war will be free
from the guilt of violating the germ of an entire
population; any nation who wants to continue test
ing weapons in anticipation of such a war can do
so with perfect peace of mind. And the anticipa
tion of nuclear war, the frenzied preparation for it,
serves only to make it imminent.
