Dominican Askew
Renew Revolts
SANTO DOMINGO —(UPI)— The armed forces radio said today the air bases in Santiago and Barahona had joined a military revolt against President Hector García Godoy's efforts to exile some of his military rivals.
Radio San Isidro, broadcasting in behalf of the Dominican armed forces and national police, said the presidential decision was illegal and would open the door to a Communist takeover of the Dominican Republic.
The radio station returned to the air today after a comparative lull that followed an apparent military attempt to take over the country Thursday night. Troops threw up barricades and roadblocks in Santo Domingo, Santiago and Barahona and tanks guarded the presidential residence.
RADIO SAN Isidro said Garcia Godoy's decision is assign his rival officers to diplomatic posts abroad could not be taken under the institutional act signed by both sides to end the civil war.
The ruling already had been ignored once with the exile in early September of Gen. Elias Wessin v Wessin.
As tension rose in the country four tanks took up positions in the grounds of the Dominican presidential palace while armored vehicles were moved to the Duarte bridge on the road leading to the big San Isidro air base.
The radio had been silenced by
Hold Rally To Support Professors
NEW YORK—(UPI)—A group of St. John's University students scheduled a noon rally on campus today to support a three-day-old strike by faculty members seeking greater academic freedom at the Roman Catholic school.
The students acted after the student council rejected resolutions to boycott classes or hold a protest teach-in at St. John's, one of the world's largest Catholic universities.
The meeting, held on the school's sprawling Jamaica, Queens, campus, was closed to newsmen but students who attended said the council appeared unwilling to get involved in the controversy between the faculty and administration.
Loud boos from the audience of about 800 greeted the council's 13-7 vote against a boycott Thursday night. The dissident students immediately announced their rally and said they would issue their own call for a boycott on Monday.
The strike was called by the United Federation of College Teachers (UFCT) after 31 faculty members were fired for pressing a drive for greater academic freedom, more of a say in setting university policy and liberalized tenure arrangements.
civilian authorities in September but it came back on the air to denounce the provisional government and to urge soldiers throughout the country to reject its authority.
ARMY-HATING leftists in downtown Santo Domingo reacted to the menacing military moves Thursday night with an outburst of rioting, but so far as was known they did not clash with the troops.
A number of cars were said to have been burned by the mobs.
Although there was not known to have been any heavy fighting, there were reports that a number of persons who failed to stop at military checkpoints had been shot.
fire. Dominican sources said the troops were waiting for daylight to determine whether there was any substantial opposition to their uprising.
One unconfirmed report said Orlando Bonnelly, 39-year-old nephew of ex-President Rafael F. Bonnelly, was shot by sailors guarding the home of Capt. Ramon E. Jimenez Jr., the Navy chief of staff.
EARLY TODAY, Santo Domingo was silent, except for occasional bursts of machine gun
The trouble started with the government's announcement that 34 Dominican leaders, including top-ranking officers of the armed forces and leading rebel deserters, are being "assigned to diplomatic posts abroad" or "sent to Israel to study"-polite phrases understood to mean they are being forced into exile.
THE 12 MEN on the "diplomatic list" - six top-ranking regular officers and six rebel leaders - included Armed Forces Minister Francisco J. Rivero Caminero and rebel Col. Francisco Caamano Deno.
Also on this list were three of the four armed forces chiefs of staff. The one exception was Jimenez, who was said to have been selected to replace Rivero as armed forces minister.
The 22 men "going to Israel" were lower-ranking leaders of the two factions.
Traffic Gripes Swamp Court
The KU student walked up to his car, "What, another ticket! It's unfair, I'll appeal!"
And appeal traffic tickets is what more students have done this semester then ever before in the past.
"The amount of traffic appeals brought before the Student Court has been heavier than in the past, at least in my opinion," stated Jack Duncan, Senior Court Justice and third-year Raytown, Mo., law student.
DUNCAN SAID that the Student Court has heard 108 traffic appeals this semester. Of these 37 were granted, 33 denied or forfeited, four were appealed to the Court "en banc," 30 resulted in other dispositions, and four had to be dismissed because the Court lacked jurisdiction.
Certain dispositions, of which there were 30, included cases in which the defense moves for a continuance; or in other words asks for more time to gather further evidence or locate a witness. When the dispositions include the
Students interested in summer work projects can sign up for interviews with Felicia Oldfather, field representative of the American Friends' Service Committee, by calling or visiting the KU-Y.
Interviewing Now For Summer Jobs
Miss Oldfather will conduct interviews Monday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the KU-Y office.
A program will be at 6:15 p.m. Monday at Westminster Center. The Rev. James Sinclair of Kansas City will speak on "Summer Service Opportunities."
defense or prosecution moves for a directed verdict when the case is a clean-cut set of facts not requiring a full trial.
The Traffic Court is composed of at least three court justices. Thus if a student feels the decision of the traffic court is wrong or unjust, he can appeal the decision to the entire court defined as a "Court en banc."
JOHN FOULSTON, second-year law student and student court defense council said if the court handles bonified emergencies, where there is a University purpose involved; or an issued ticket which is defective on its face, such as those not signed by the issuing officer, are usually good defenses."
Justice Duncan stated examples of actual cases which have never been successful. Among these cases was one where the student knowingly parked in a restricted area but felt he should not be ticketed since he felt it was the University's responsibility to provide him a parking spot.
"ALL PARKING violations are chargeable. However, as a practical matter, both the University and the ASC have recognized that justifiable reasons should excuse some tickets. For this reason, the Student Court was established. One major premise is uppermost in the court's collective mind: That parking is a privilege. Therefore, idle excuses, and unjustified reasons will not excuse the violations," said Duncan.
The Student Court operates on the American tradition that a man is innocent until proved guilty thus the "presumption is that the student defendant is telling the truth," said Duncan.
Peace Corps—
Ravenholt Lauds Corps Training
The Peace Corps serves as an effective apprenticeship for responsibility abroad, according to Albert Ravenholt, a member of the American University Field Staff and a foreign correspondent for the Chicago Daily News.
Ravenholt, who travels abroad under the auspices of both organizations, spoke last night at a joint meeting of Theta Sigma Phi and Sigma Delta Chi, men and women's journalistic societies.
HE SAID the Peace Corps was a "proven opportunity for the college graduate to move from campus society to responsible involvement in life.
"It affords the opportunity to relate with different levels of society," he explained, "and to learn what life is like - as far as tempo and expectations - in other portions of the world."
Secret Satellite Shot
VANDENBERG AFB, Calif. (UPI) — A satellite employing Thor-Altrair rocket combination was launched from this base Thursday night on an undisclosed mission, the Air Force reported.
The launch apparently was successful, but there were no additional details under current Defense Department policy. Some residents of Los Angeles reported to police they sighted an unidentified flying object. Spokesmen for the Air Force said it was the satellite.
He said it was not difficult to distinquish between the informed, experienced observer of world events, the novice, and "the apprentice and the non-apprentice.
"The American people talk a lot about foreign policy, but rarely about the people concerned." Ravenholt, who returned from his latest trip abroad in September, said.
The pipe-smoking correspondent mentioned such contemporary personalities as Dr. H. Byer, a cultural anthropologist now in his 80's who opened the door to native education in the Philippines and became an advisor to heads-of-state, and Father Hogan, an American Jesuit instrumental in instituting social order in the Philippines. Father Hogan is stationed in Hong Kong now, trying to accomplish the same on a regional scale.
He also spoke of Arthur Lansdale, a Southeast Asian specialist who is in Viet Nam now on special assignment.
"TO FORM a responsible judgment of a problem," he said, "an individual must have lived with it."
A Peace Corps volunteer's statement was given as testimony to the advantages of having traveled abroad. She said her experiences as a volunteer away from the props of American society had given her confidence that she could live and work effectively anywhere in the world.
