Duke student committee
to pursue MSA demands
Responsibility for pursuing student demands regarding the Duke University
administration's February decision to phase out the School of Forestry and Environmental
Studies will be turned over to an ad hoc committee of the Association of Duke University
Students (ASDU).
The Duke administration's decision, the result of budget cutbacks, has been the subject of
controversy since it was announced five weeks ago. Students organized the Movement for
Shared Authority (MSA) to demand a share in University decision making, and attracted an
estimated 1,000 students to a demonstration held two weeks ago. MSA has since tried to
work through ASDU to investigate the matter.
"We will set up the committee at our ASDU meeting, and it will have eight members, five
male and three female," Rick Glazier, newly-elected ASDU president, said Monday.
"We will rely on the committee to provide the impetus for all future action concerning the
Forestry School," Glazier said.
Glazier said the committee will be charged with three purposes:
to examine specific sections of the budget;
to discuss these specific areas in informal session with the Duke administration;
to report back to the student legislature with formal recommendations.
Glazier has written the National Student Association for information concerning open
budget hearings. He said he will talk to Duke President Terry Sanford later this week about
ASUD's governance recommendations. '

SAIGON Hundreds of thousands of
South Vietnamese streamed out of the
abandoned Central Highlands toward the
sea Tuesday in a massive retreat that
represents the worst setback for anti
Communist forces in-Indochina since the
. French were defeated at Dien Binh Phy in
1954.
Diplomatic sources said the withdrawal
from what the government called the
indefensible-provinces, of Pleiku, Kontum
and Darlac was negotiated by President
Nguyen Van Thieu and the Viet Cong.
The sources said the Viet Cong promised
first they would grant a three-day safe
passage for the residents of Pleiku City. The
Viet Cong then ordered the residents of
Kontum and Darlac to leave as well, the
sources said; - :
There were about 550,000 persons in the
area and as many as 250,000 were reported
on the roads in miles-long convoys or on
. foot, some dying by the wayside.
Many had fled with only a handful of
belongings after seeing their homes
demolished and in flames. A few vanished'
into the mountains, including Montagnard
tribesmen who like neither side in the war.
The high government sources said the
United States was informed of the deal and
that the embassy moved U.S. missionaries
and U.S. aid officials out of Pleiku and
Kontum by air over the weekend. Nine
Americans already had been reported
captured in the district capital of Ban Me
Thuot, one of the cities abandoned in the
great evacuation.
The control of the Central Highlands,
where American troops entered the Vietnam
conflict in the 1960s on a large scale, virtually
cuts South Vietnam in half-on an east-to-west
axis and gives the Communists a
powerful base and supply line to attack the
coastal cities remaining in government
hands. S .7
One 60-mile-long convoy of troops and
Nader
by Bill Sutherland
Staff Writer
The Survival Symposium, a two-week
presentation of issues and suggestions
concerning the problems our finite world
must confront, will begin this Sunday with
Ralph Nader's, keynote address.
Events will center on issues ranging from
the prospects of global famine to the
squandering of our environment and
nonrenewable resources. Nader will open the
symposium by discussing an overall
approach to the issue of world survival.
The symposium is designed as a
colloquium of ideas, from which each person
may gather and share what he wants. The
first week will present the extent and scope of
environmental problems. The symposium
will then turn to debate on what should be
the human response, in terms of both
leadership and personal initiative.
During the first week, scientists and other ,
specialists will discuss specific issues,
.beginning with food, famine and population
problems and policies.
For a description of events not mentioned
here, and a schedule of times and locations, a
two page insert has been included in today's
DTH.
On Monday David Pirages, co-author
with Paul Ehrlich of Ark II: Social Response
to Environmental Imperatives, will speak on
the possibilities of human survival according
to the theories developed in Ark II.
Author Garrett Hardin will discuss the
moral implications of "triage" the concept
of deliberately allowing some people to die
because of a limited food supply.

sword, it kept its footing by the sword. It
doesn't want anyone to interfere."
The trouble with the anti-war movement
of the sixties, he said, was that its leaders saw
non-violent resitance as a mass movement
rather than as a way of life. Non-violence as a
force for change, like Christianity, he added,
must be a lifestyle, not just a means to a
specific end.
The best way to change the government's
wars, he said, is to publicly resist them
through demonstrations and by civil
disobedience, such as not paying taxes. Most
Americans, though, are unaware of their
exploitation and incapable of resistance,
Berrigan said.
"We don't have any alternatives we
don't even ask the right questions," he said.
"I think most Americans fall in that
category.
"If we insist on living differently, we're
going to have to do a hell of a lot of changing.
Otherwise there are going to be a whole lot of
sheep in this country."

Students say decision came too late

Students directly affected by the major
changes in University housing policy,
although partially satisfied, are still
complaining about the tardiness of the
Housing Department's announcement.
Dr. James Condie, Director of University
Housing, announced the day before spring
break that Ruffin dormitory will become an
all-women's dormitory, suite-by-suite coed .
living will be permitted on the fourth floor of
Morrison dormitory and residents of single
rooms in James dormitory must pay half the
pro-rated , cost of the room, or
, approximately $35-$37.
Handicapped students and international
students may live in any dorm on campus,
Condie said.
Lee Wallace, a Ruffin resident and one of
the leaders in the move to prevent their
relocation, said he thought the decisions
"spent too much time on (Dean of Student
Affairs Donald) Boulton's desk. We were
hot given a good enough excuse for the-delays."

The Student Supreme Court
dismissed a constitutional challenge to
the seating of two Campus Governing
Council (CGC) co-representatives-elect
Tuesday on the grounds that the
plaintiff, Carl Fox, did not have
standing to bring the suit.
Associate Justice David Ford,
'announcing the ruling, said the court
did not consider Fox to be directly and
adversely affected by the election of the
co-candidates,. George Bacso and Brad
Lamb. ,
Fox, who has served two terms in
CGC, contended that the concept of co
representatives was unconstitutional,
and that Elections Board Chairman
Rick Bryant had committed an error of
law by allowing Bacso's and Lamb's
names to appear on the ballot.
Bacso and Lamb defeated Michael
Dixon in On-Campus District IV
(James dormitory) in the general
campus election of Feb. 26.
The court never ruled on the
substance of the. case, in which Fox
contended that the CGC never intended
to seat co-representatives, that the
concept of co-representatives violated
the Student Government Constitution
and Election Laws and that Bryant
should not have permitted Bacso and
Lamb to run.
Under a 1968 Student Government
bill establishing procedures to bring
election disputes before the Supreme
Court, a plaintiff must be "a student

Witnesses said the retreat convoy began

It was the invasion of the highlands by

dormitory, to work "out some kind of
compromise between the international
students and the Housing
Department,. ..then the Housing
Department announces that the whole dorm
is to be turned over to female students."
Jones said she is "not in favor of displacing
anyone if it is at all possible."
Jones also said students affected by the
consolidation decision should be pleased.
"They started out being charged the pro
rated rate from January I, so at least they did
achieve half of their goal."
Jones said she was satisfied with the
announcement of a living-learning suite-by-suite
coed arrangement on the fourth floor of
Morrison dorm. "I think it is about time for
coed living to be expanded," she said.
Condie said the Morrison arrangement
differed considerably from the second floor
Winston dorm coed living experiment,
which he cancelled last year.
"The basic differences are in the amount of
security and privacy for women students."

The court ruled that Fox, a resident of
Morrison dormitory, did not meet this
requirement. Morrison is in a different
legislative district from James.
Fox argued, "The election laws
simply state which district a resident
must be in to vote, arid which district a
resident must be in to run. They do not
say which district a resident must be in
to be affected by the vote."
In response to a question by Ford,
Fox said that as a student at the
University, he is directly affected by any
actions taken by CGC.
Defense counsel George Blackburn
said, "If we accept the argument of the
plaintiff, I contend this would lead to
utter chaos." He said the Supreme
Court would be inundated with election
challenges, even if the student filing was
not eligible to vote in the disputed
election.
Chief Justice Darrell Hancock said
Dixon may be able to challenge the
election as an improper executive
procedure, but said the court was unsure
at this time whether the usual 96-hour
election challenge 4imit would still
apply.
Earlier, the court had denied a motion
by Fox to have Dixon listed as a co
defendant in the suit.
"T" Any student could also request CGC
to rule on the matter. According to the
CGC by-laws, the council "shall be the
judge of the ' election, returns, and
qualifications of its members."
