Kissinger came home from the Middle East Sunday night. Before leaving from Jerusalem Kissinger tearfully said that it was a "sad day for America." Egypt and Israel were unable to reach agreement on an Israeli withdrawl from the Sinai Desert. "Kissinger Fails to Get Mideast Peace" read the headlines. But I'm not so sure that Kissinger or the United States failed in the peace negotiations. Kissinger worked incessantly in his shuttle diplomacy, going first to Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, then to Cairo, with side trips to Damascus. Israel's premier, Yitzhak Rabin, said Kissinger had "done more than any human being could do" to try to bring about peace. The Israelis and the Egyptians blamed each other for the collapse of Kissinger's mission. There was saber-rattling by both sides. Rabin told the Israeli parliament that Israel was ready for war if necessary. Syria announced that it was conducting military maneuvers to practice "storming enemy defense lines and striking deen into enemy territory." With the end of the Kissinger mission, positions on both sides are likely to harden, and war is more likely, even if it isn't imminent. The only reasonable answer is no, we cannot. President Ford has announced that the United States was undertaking a "total reassessment" of our policy in the Mideast. But the question has to be asked: Can we expect Kissinger to magically make peace anywhere on the globe, even when the adversaries apparently aren't ready to be peaceful? This could mean reduced aid for Israel, perhaps as a spur to Israel to make some concessions to reach an agreement. Meanwhile, Kissinger will continue to work for a Middle East settlement. We can only hope that the adversaries in the Middle East can find acceptable terms for agreement. The picture isn't promising, but to say that Kissinger has failed is not the best option for Israel and Israel have failed. The sad thing about the situation is that we are all potential victims of their failure. Craig Stock Haldeman defensive For those who saw Mike Wallace on GBS, the hour was well spent. On GBS, the hour was well spent. What you saw was proof that the public repudiation of the actions of the President and the White House staff during the Watergate scandal related to change the minds of those involved about what they were doing. You heard Haldeman offer the same rationalizations, the same defenses of his actions and those of the people around him. You heard the standard defense of the White House take as a call for all of them, they would see how honest and upright an atmosphere actually prevailed. And you heard, repeatedly, Haldenman drop the "everybody else does it" justification for dirty tricks. He would admit that the Nixon staff did something, then casually qualify it with an "of course, we weren't the only ones who did," or an "as others had done before us," or similar line. People have already questioned whether CBS should have paid Haldeman somewhere between $25,000 and $50,000 for what has been boiled down to two hours of air time. If that's what it took to get him to talk, fine. It has already made one hour of excellent, informative news program. Next week's conclusion to be even more illuminating. Haldeman is perhaps the most absorbing of the old White House inner circle, not possessing the surface arrogance of John Ehrlichman or the heavy-jawed poker face that has given his reputation like John Doe, an forgettable face and a pleasant, on camera, at least, manner. He is one you must listen to to fully appreciate, one whose words must be carefully studied to grasp the import of what he is saying. But it's well worth the attention, because it reveals the experiences responses from pitying chuckles to near fright, thinking of who he once was and the job he once held. If you were one of those who saw Sunday, there's no need to urge you to watch again this weekend. But to those of you who missed the opening act, CBS has provided you with a special program that takes place in what the American government became for a few years. Don't miss it. —John Pike 'DON'T FEEL BAD, KID... LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT...' Jackson primed for '76 By JANHYATT The ode-makers' favorite to win the 1976 Democratic press nomination is a memoir M. "Scooter" Washington, a senator from Washington. Kansan Staff Renorter The gambars aren't alone in their predictions for Jackson. Many political analysts, editorialists and reporters agree that Jackson already the nomination bid, and then in the presidential election. They have good reasons for thinking so. JACKSON, WHO AN-NOUNCED his candidacy in a five-minute television spot on the night of Feb. 6, has been running for president since the fall as the state's primarys that year, but lost miserably in Florida, Wisconsin and Ohio. However, at the Democratic convention, anti-McGovern leaders and delegates marched to Jackson, who is the runner-up for the nomination. IN HEARINGS OF The Senate investigations subcommittee examining the energy crisis, Jackson accused big oil companies of exaggerating the extent of the oil shortage so that oil prices raise prices and extort profits from the situation. Since then, Jackson has kept himself in the news through controversial statements and actions. More recently, Jackson succeeded in attaching an amendment to the U.S.-Russian agreement on immigration for Soviet Jews a condition for granting special trade status to the Soviet Union. The Soviets backed out of the agreement with the Jackson amendment. He also has built up an able campaign staff and a plump campaign fund. His campaign manager, Robert G. Keefe, is the former executive director of the Democratic National Committee and worked as a MLCIO leader to move McGillows' nomination. But more important in determining Jackson's strength than either his recent notoriety or his campaign personnel are his long career and his image as a consistent, decisive and principled man who could provide the kind of unwavering JACKSON HAS HIRED Morris Dees from McGovens' 72 campaign to direct a mail contribution program to add more funds to the $1.1 million be already has. Jackson is a demigod in his home state of Washington. He has served Washingtonians for 34 years—12 years in the House of Representatives and 22 in the Senate. leadership the country recently has missed. After graduating from the University of Washington law school, Jackson entered Democratic politics and was elected a county prosecutor at 96 He was born 63 years ago in Everett, Wash., to Norwegian immigrant parents, a parentage that may explain his sobriety and his concern for social justice. TWO YEARS LATER he was in Congress, where he has earned a reputation for hard work and effective, informed leadership. His interest in Soviet affairs and national defense got him security clearance in the Pentagon and with the CIA, so on to being often listen to him before they vote, if only out of fear that he knows something they don't. Jackson as a congressman has been stubbornly consistent in his stands on certain issues. His foreign policy views have long been the most predictable in Washington, D.C. Jackson was too busy for love and marriage until he was 49, when he married his young brother David. They have two children. He loathes no government more than the Moscow Communists, and the feeling is mutual. The Soviet press identifies Jackson as "the devil of Seattle" and "the domicile advocate of the military-industrial complex." HE IS STILL fighting the Cold War. He has informed Americans of every new Soviet weapon and military activity. Jackson was sure that Moscow was the real enemy during the U.S. involvement in Vietnam, and he subscribed to the domino theory in Southeast Asian affairs. He consistently got to grit out his reaction to South Vietnam and to block other congressmen's attempts to cut off U.S. involvement. guaranteeing that future treaties wouldn't leave the United States with fewer missiles than the Russians. HE SAYS HE supports disarmament, but he criticizes the SALT I treaty for favoring the Russians and the Vladivostok agreements for supporting sides too high. During Senate ratification of SALT I, he was able to attach an amendment subsidies for two million housing starts, emergency capital funds for business and a return to wage and price controls to treat the current recession mixed with inflation. Israel has no supporter more devoted than Jackson. His enthusiasm for the security of Jewish state cause caused Sandra Sukol to leader to the United Nations to ask, "Who is this Henry Jackson from 6,000 His answer to the oil shortage is to increase domestic production and reduce imports, as the Fort Administration has suggested. miles away, more Jewish than the Jews, more Zionist than the Zionists?" On domestic issues, Jackson is almost as predictable. He had championed research and development for every new weapon proposed by the defense department, but especially for the American nuclear submarine fleet. As for economic policy, Jackson is an old-style New Dealer. He never mentions a balanced federal budget in his speeches, but instead calls for more government spending to finance work projects and increased unemployment compensation. He has suggested federal Jackson also supports research and development of other energy sources. In 1973, he introduced a bill giving $20 billion to such projects, but it died in committee. He wants to drill for oil on federal reserves in California and Alaska and to expand offshore drilling. Jackson was a conservationist before everyone else became environmentalists. As a member of the Senate Republican group, he spearched many bills to preserve wilderness areas. In 1987 he wrote the National Environmental Protection Act, which Congress passed the law. It requires that requires environmental impact statements for all federal projects, such as reservoirs and highways. But he destroyed his pavemental visionaries and by fighting viscera forlyer the SST and the Alaskan oil pipeline a few years ago. Jackson was well-received by black leaders for his liberal civil rights record until he was fired in 2015 for an amendment to prohibit bush to integrate schools during the 1972 Florida primary campaise, which pushed the issue since 2013 and black support is returning. Jackson's campaign will attempt to broaden his appeal to include young people and liberals who know him best for his long support of the Vietnam War. BUT HE ALREADY has, if not the broadest, then perhaps the most numerous base of powerful supporters of the other announced candidates and most of the potential ones. He is the favorite of labor and Democratic Party regulars, who are making an all-out attack against the university trust candidate like "Scoon." IN THE MEANTIME, he'll use his senate seat to make more headlines and clarify or modify his positions. Lately, he has opposed further U.S. military aid to Cambodia and Sudan, a mistake astonishing reason that the non-Communist forces are cowardly and unwilling to fight, so more aid would be wasted. Jackson told newsman that he wouldn't enter all the primaries next spring, only the important and convenient ones. He is a poor campaigner, a boring speaker, an insensitive person, so it is likely that he'll depend on his labor friends to find votes for him. He practically has a monopoly on Jewish support, and he will find support among military leaders, small-business men, veterans, blacks people who find Jackson's consistency and plainness appealing. Strange reasoning, perhaps, but still quite a turnaround for the eternal Communist-fighter. HE HAS FEWER worries about voter recognition of his name than the other candidates. He is one of November found Jackson running President Gerald R. Ford a close race for the presidency, with 42 per cent they would vote for Jackson. Readers respond To the Editor: North Carolina State run out of downs and was forced to punt. KU's Bruce Adams, signaling a fair catch, ran up to receive the ball. In full view of the television audience, he was tripped by a State player as he approached the ball, which subsequently bounced into the hands of another State player who was then escorted by some teammates into the end zone. In the 1973 Liberty Bowl, the University of Kansas football team was getting off to a slow start, as had been normal in almost every game in a season full of backcom victories. THE RESULT WAS THAT the touchdown was called back. March 2, 1975, on NBC's "Columbo," the hero was paired in a bar to glance at a television set that was tuned to a football game. As I watched that TV in the bar, he was astonished by the sight of a girl eyes with the blue on the shoulders and the other team's red helmets with an "S." Although the announcer described the action with fictitious names, there was no doubt that the wristy action described above, I, along with Columbo, saw the punt, the trip, the bounce and the touchdown. Only this time, the announcement mentioned there was a sing on the play and the player's eye circle, the punt returner being interfered with before reaching the ball. THEERE WAS NO penalty flag. Even the TV commentators expressed surprise at seeing no penalty called (a gun was drawn) to comfort the many KU fans who witnessed this travesty of justice that put the Jayhawks in a hole from which, for once, they could fly. It is a tribute to KU that the game ended with Notre Dame winning, 77-11. Notre Dame had 50 opportunities for foul shots and made 35. KU had 13 and made 9. Six players, including four starters, fouled out for KU. Not one Notre Dame player fouled out. The incredulity on the faces of the team caused for foul after foul after foul was matched only by mute. MARCH 15, 1975. I again settled down to watch another come-from-behind KU team play in postseason competition with the New York Jayhawk basketball team playing Notre Dame for the right to go to the NCAA Midwest Regional Tournament. Any pain I had felt watching that missed call in the 1973 University Bowl watched two officials set out after the world's record for calling ridiculous fouls. What could have been a very fine game was turned into a farce as every comeback effort by the Jayhawks was thwarted, not by the Fiaker, but by his officiating. That some studio technician had chosen that one football segment for a small part of a TV series, out of all the games played over the years and that he finally correcting a flagrantly missed call is, I suppose, poetic justice. ALTHOUGH IT certainly doesn't take enough into consideration, it is interesting to see that by eliminating all foul shots, the score becomes KU 62, Notre Dame 42. What can be done? Nothing. The pain will eventually go away. And perhaps in 1977, as Columbus pushes in his heels, you can play a replay of this game with competent officials and maybe even a Replay on 'Columbo' reveals two crooks different outcome. If so, I hope I miss it. Jim Browne Lawrence Sophomore Teaching To the Editor: This is in response to "Wise ask ignorant," a March 5 Kansan editorial that noted an increase of students in Ku and stated some fear of the tendency of instructors to ask questions of students rather than have students information from teacher." It should be pointed out that one of the most repeated criticisms of the American school system are students are often "spoon-fed" and that they leave formal schooling with nothing but a collection of memorized unremembered facts and similicate half-fruits. MANY HAVE ARGUED that effective teaching requires that the student be given an opportunity to match his ideas and often rich experiences and impressions with those of other students. I test praise published thought." The ability to think critically, to analyze and resolve problems and to generate new knowledge can only be acquired by providing students opportunities to test and develop the skills and personal interpretation of what is known. Jerome Bruner has said that the goal of instruction is to allow students to "go beyond the information given ... to make inferential leaps and new understanding and effect of the observed increase in "student talk" in KU classes, then we are making progress in higher education. IT IS NOT suggested, however, that the instructor's role become that of posing a question such as that do you understand Russian communism in the 20th century? and then sitting back to listen to 50 minutes of unrelated, often emotional or illogical comments, which would one recommend that beginning chemistry students be encouraged to test random combinations of basic chemical laws permitted to interpret the law idiosyncratically. Rather, the teacher's function is that of integrating the various comments and pointers into the student providing structure and guidance no matter what route the discussion follows, and of refining the often naive and personalized beliefs of students so that desired concepts and ideas are revealed and discovered. Such a rule requires knowledge of subject and how students acquire it far beyond being able to quote the author of the required textbook on page 31 or dispensing information in an application. Achievement of that kind of instructional skill isn't easily attained but is continually sought by the effective teacher. Robert L.
