"Non-violence course" students prepare for moratorium
Members of the North College non-violence course have assisted the Student Mobilization Committee in organizing today's war moratorium.
Kemp Houck, assistant professor of English and course instructor, called the class's work on the moratorium the "lab part" of the course.
Houck, who is teaching the course as an overload without pay, said one of his hopes for the course when he created it was the students' involvement in some non-violent action. But, he added, this was for each individual to decide.
"I did not require or even urge them to work on the moratorium," he said. "It was completely voluntary."
The class decided to devote one week of class meetings to discussion of assisting the Student Mobilization Committee.

One of the students in the class dropped the course because, he said, it was turning into a protest group.
Houck said the class had moved on to different things since these meetings and he did not know if any class members were still working on the moratorium.
William M. Balfour, dean of student affairs, said he had no objection to the class's participation in the moratorium if they respected the rules and regulations of the university.
He said he viewed participation as part of the educational process and that members of other classes had worked on the moratorium.
"We can't tell professors what to teach any more than we can tell students what to do," Francis H. Heller, activog proved, said.
He said any professor could rationalize what he is doing in a class as essential to the course.
Lorna Grunz, North College representative from the Dean of Women's office, said the North College Student Advisory Board was largely in favor of the "lab
part" of the course. The board is the student government body of the college and deals primarily with curricula changes.
"No one knew the moratorium would be around when the course was set up last spring," she said, "but the students favored the idea of involvement."
Dave Awbrey, Hutchinson senior and student body president, said he favored expansion of such courses.
constructive courses we have." he said. "Students learn more about the American systems in these courses than in any beginning political science course."
"The new left courses and courses such as these are the most
Awbrey said he did not see any interference from legislators in such courses.
"I think the big Communist scare of the 1950's is over," he said and then added "except in extreme cases like Sen. Shultz."
