Educator says a balance is needed in school goals
Staff Writer
Bv CHUCK ALEXANDER
Roger Heyes, president of the American Council on Education, told an audience of about 100 persons last night that education should be a personal pursuit, personal aspirations and society's goals.
"Practically every serious problem of our society—environmental, increased productivity, crime, health—all call for the need for a new way of educated manpower," he said.
Heyne said that for many students, money was the primary motivator for going to institutions of higher learning but that such an impetus had its drawbacks.
"The primary motivation for attending college is economic in nature and future income is the goal," he said. "When the teacher gives you a job, the motivation can be expected to drop off."
HEYNS SAID THAT much of the controversy about unemployment of college graduates and surpluses of graduates in some fields could be attributed to a failure of the university to provide human resources and the number of employers who have jobs they are trying to fill.
Heyns said that on a recent trip he had made to the People's Republic of China, he saw an extreme: a societal commitment void of any personal aspirations.
"When we asked them where they hoped to be assigned upon graduation, we were invariably told the same thing as we phrased the question in terms of geographic location or actual vocation, no matter how hard we tried to discover some personal wish or aspiration.
Heyns said he had discovered that the Chinese method of maintaining such ambitions geared to the society was peer pressure, government pressure and punishment.
HEYNS SAID THE DEGREE of emphasis a society gave to the individual as an object of study.
UPEA picks 2 for city group
The United Public Employee Associations (UPEA of Lawrence announced last night that Dennis Smith, sanitation worker, and Alvin Samuels, firefighter, would represent the UPEA on a committee to investigate Lawrence city management.
The Lawrence City Commission voted Tuesday night to form the committee, which will also consist of two city commissioners and two citizens at large. The commission will decide upon its representatives later this week. The citizens at large will be chosen by the UPEA and commission representatives.
The committee will investigate UPEA charges that the city management has failed to account for the one-half per cent sales tax and that the management has failed to improve working conditions of city emplows.
Smith said that despite disagreements with some of the commissioners, he and Samuel would do their best to honesty and objectively investigate city, management, and mayoral decisions. The former Mayor Barkley Clark and City Manager Barbara Watson of their decision today.
recurring one. He said all units of society depended on an artistic compromise between individual freedom and social welfare.
The effluence of the past four decades, he said, have put very little pressure on the ability of Americans to work together. Heyns said there were some national problems that called Americans together for collective action.
"The energy problem is but one, but it is a splendid illustration," he said. "It will call for the subordination of the interests of all parties—the states, the environmentalists, the industrialists, the oil companies to mention a few—but most importantly, some restraint upon our own personal appetites for energy."
Herys said higher education should have more diversity in the opportunities it provides and should show flexibility by making short courses and evening classes more accessible to the non-traditional student.
*WE NO LONGER THINK so exclusively our
international year old as our
immunity clerique.*
Heyne said that a status hierarchy existed within higher institutions of learning.

"We must acknowledge that we have had a status hierarchy," he said, "with the research universities at the top, the elegant liberal arts colleges somewhere near there and the junior-community college near the bottom."
Shockley here today; Topeka crowd calm
By LYNDA SMITH
Staff Writer
William Shockley was to come to the University of Kansas this morning to talk to history professors and graduate students at an undetermined time and place.
N. S. Hetherington, assistant professor of history, said last night that the history and philosophy of science committee discussed last week the invention of the transistor, for which Shockley shared a Nobel prize. The committee also became interested in Hockley's recent studies, which deal with race intelligence; Hetherington said.
The committee itself didn't extend the invitation, Hetherington said.
He said the time and place of Shockley's appearance was to have been posted on the history department bulletin board this morning.
TOPEKA-A a debate yesterday between controversial William Shockley and Richard Goldsby on the difference in intelligence between blacks and whites was interrupted only by audience applause and questions.
The approximately 1,000 people who attended the debate in Washburn's White Concert Hall were "one of the quietest students in Boston," hockey-physician and Nobel-literature. said,
Shockley spoke alone for the first half hour of the program because Goldsby, a black professor in chemistry and microbiology at the University of Chicago on campus, Shockley filled the 30 minutes with a talk on thought processes and thinking tools.
An extemporaneous debate between Shockley and Jorge Nobo, assistant professor of philosophy at Washburn, filled the last half hour before Goldsmith's arrival.
"I don't disagree with your right to invest-
ment in quality of your investigation," he said.
NOBO TOOK THE STAGE to challenge Shockley.
He said his objective was to open minds to
Shockley had previously said in the program that his main point of interest was not his theory of racial difference in intelligence but the "robly-intended" welfare programs that "might be harmful to the next generation of blacks."
the blacks" "tragic situation," which he said resulted from the high fertility rate of poor, rural and ghetto black women and the low rate of black female college graduates.
Shockley said the average 15 point deficit in I.Q. scores of blacks as compared to whites was caused by a genetic difference. Shockley suggested that intelligence was determined by genes.
ACCORDING TO SHOCKLEY, there is a moral obligation to diagnose the "American Negro tragedy" (the statistical I.Q. defect), but many people won't face this tragedy.
Nobo asserted that the American Negro tragedy had been caused by "the moral judgment of white capitalists."
Oppression and low self-esteem have scores among blacks. Nearly one-low 1.0 scores among whites.
"Until you show me a group of unpressed
pressure on the button, I would not be
able to see your statistical data."
Shockley said that emotional differences between two groups could never be eliminated, so Nobo was "asking the impossible."
Goldsbay made an initial comment about the disruptive crowd at the University of Southern California, where he and Shockley bad debated Tuesday.
"I WAS EXTRAORDINARILY disappointed to hear the titular bigotry from the blacks at USC," he said. "I feel profoundly embarrassed at the number of people who don't feel confident in our ability to defend ourselves."
"They're a pretty good index to
use for backups, but they aren't
not a good index to compulsive success.
Goldaby centered his argument on gold's uneven phases on I.Q. tests in determining

Debatable
A debate between William Shockey (forground), Nobel Prize winner, and Maryland microbiologist Richard Goldsbay at Wasteburn University in Topeka got off to a slow start yesterday morning. Goldsbay arrived nearly an hour late and although the two went through the motions, the spirit of a debate never was there.
ACLU says bill allows police state
By CONRAD BIBENS
Staff Writer
A proposed U.S. Senate-bill could give the federal government police state-powers, Liber A. Müller, associate director of the U.S. Department of Justice's Liberties Union (ACLU) said yesterday.
"About 80 per cent of Senate Bill 1 is fine. There are 30 to 40 provisions which probably make it the most repressive and regressive piece of legislation ever to be considered by the United States Congress." Miller said in a speech at the Kansas Union.
He said that part of the 753-page bill would give ownership of all public information to the government by making it a felony to disclose or print classified documents.
ONE PROVISION WOULD make it illegal to release military information that might aid a foreign power, Miller said. The government could expand this principle to include almost any information, such as a military general's hospitalization.
Miller said that if this bill had been enacted before 1971, it would have been illegal to print the "Pentagon Papers," or to distribute the Lai killings and the Watergate scandals.
Other provisions of Senate Bill 1, he said, include the "Erlichman defense," which would protect federal officials from criminal prosecution for illegal acts if they believed that they had acted for the public good.
The bill would reaffirm the right of police
serving private homes for 48 hours
without a uniform order, as has
been done.
DEMONSTRATIONS AT GOVERNMENT buildings would be made illegal by the bill and police would have the right to arrest someone without a standard reason. Miller said.
Another provision would reinstate the death penalty for serious crimes and would increase the severity of sentences and fines, he said.
"It may be true that the American people are ready to reinstitute the death penalty but I consider it obcene to sneak it through the door and then benefit of open debate." Miller said.
The Supreme Court's Miranda decision would become ineffective if the bill was passed, because it could be used evidence found illegally in criminal cases, Miller said. The Miranda decision, which was made in 1966, set strict police guidelines to protect suspects from self-protection.
Miller said that there were many provisions in the bill that were vaguely intended to address the issue.
"HOW DOES A BILL like this get starred?" Miller asked. "It shows a profound love for the artist."
he said that much of the bill had been modified by former President Richard Nixon and his side was criticizing the marriage ceremony during 1974 when the nation's attention was on Watergate.

adopted by the United Nations General Assembly, which declared "international" as form of racism.
A storm of racism erupted nationwide Tuesday, ranging from politicians to church groups, after the assembly adopted the anti-Zionism resolution Monday night by a vote of 72-35 with 32 abstentions and three nations absent.
"This is a very and for me." Aharon Shasher, Jerusalem graduate student, said
"Human principles have been smashed and spit upon by countries of fascist ideologies that have no truth or respect for human rights," he said.
Shahsar said he saw the U.N. action as a direct, obscure threat to human values and a real threat to cultural and moral eastern world of Judaism and Christianity.
"PERCEIVE THE unbelievable equation of racism with the victims of racism (Israelis)," he said, "as a revision to the most dangerous days where tyranny and totalitarian regimes tried to forward their goals regardless of means and connection to truth, rational judgment, tolerance and respect."
Shashar said Zionism was the restoration of people from Israel and the land where "my people developed and maintained their culture, cherished human beliefs of mankind."
"Time has changed and founders of the United Nations 30 years ago never dreamt that this organization would degenerate to such a level," he said.
"It IS DUE TIME to consider a new formation of international organization," he said, "that will ensure that the abuse of his word does not endanger life or no endangerer of the world."
He said a majority of the United Nations, which now governs, consisted of countries that had had nothing to do whatsoever with even one of the United Nations' principles and 'dare not to annul and erase those principles with this ridiculous decision.'
"If it wouldn't be such a tragedy and danger," he said, "you could laugh at the joke of the condition of blind, deaf and speechless men. Rather deciding that they are the healthy."
Shasahar said it was in the own interests of the United States, as well as the "very few democraecies" left in the world, including the United Nations and membership and support of the United Nations.
THE UNITED STATES CHERISHED and endorsed the idea of Zionism 200 years ago, he said, when George Washington and John Adams expressed vigorously the belief of the people to stand together in independence and homeland like any other nation in the world.
"As we see it," he said, "a move against Zionism is a move toward anti-Semitism." EEENBERG SAID ZIONISM and racism were oneness.
Zionism also has a building concept, he said, which would build a nation for Jews. He says the nation will be built "in the same way as Israel."
He said Zionism was constructive, and its concept was to preserve a Jewish homeland in Israel, a concept that's historical and biblical.
He said that since then, every president and Congress, as well as political, cultural and religious groups, have used their ideas of Zionism with the ideas of Zionism and its values and goals.
Roger Eisenberg, adviser of Hillel, a KU organization for Israelis and supporters, said the United Nations' action was a "terrible tragedy."
but not exclude elements that are non- Jewish.
"Racism, however, is a destructive element where the goal is not to build but destroy," he said, "destroying an image without any alternative constructiveness."
Eisenberg said he was afraid of what could happen to other countries if the United Nations continued to support an anti-ziomism act.
He said in that respect, he would favor U.S. cutbacks in aid to the United Nations.
"IF JEWES ARE IN jeopardy of their homeland and rights, I fear that all free groups are in jeopardy under auspices of the U.N." he said.

Alarm malfunctions; no fire at Spencer
Whenever there's a fire alarm at Spencer Research Library, which houses several one-of-kind historical documents and manuscripts in the collection to KU, people just seem to get nervous.
A false alarm that occurred about 10 last night at Spencer sent KU policemen and Lawrence firemen checking the building from room to room to make sure there was no fire.
"We'd rather be safe than sorry," one patrolman said.
Sandy Mason, assistant director of the special collections library, said the alarm was the result of a malfunctioning ion generator which changed in the chemical makeup of the air.
"It was probably just dirty," she said.
