Professors react to De Gaulle move
France's announced withdrawal from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization has left many unanswered questions.
Walter Sandelius, professor of political science, and J. Piealkiewicz, assistant professor of political science, commented Monday on the announcement.
"It is of course too early for any comprehensive comment. De Gaulle could move in almost any direction." Prof. Sandelius said.
Sandelius pointed out that little publicity has been given the recurring reports from French government officials that De Gaulle might continue to support a strengthened Atlantic alliance.
De Gaulle's announcement said in part "France between now and April 4, 1969, will continue to modify the dispositions now in practice in so far as they concern her."
"Modifying dispositions just doesn't seem to be a conclusive statement of policy. Many things could happen between now and
1969. The question is left quite open," said Sandelius.
Piekalkiewicz said the announcement had been expected. "France objects to what it calls domination of the alliance by America. This interferes with De Gaulle's goal of a unified Europe as a third force between the Soviet Union and the United States," he said.
The announcement also suggested that a reconvention of the 1954 Geneva Peace Conference is the only way to a settlement of the Viet Nam question.
Both Sandelius and Piekalkiewicz said that such a reconvention would be quite satisfactory to the United States, and both agreed that the possibility of renewing the conference is very slight.
"De Gaulle is critical of our position in Viet Nam and does not want to get involved. He fears U.S. pressure on NATO which would obligate him to actively support us there," Prof. Piekalkiewicz said.
Brotherhood stresses inter-racial friendship
So citizens could become "acquainted across racial lines," the Lawrence League for the Practice of Democracy initiated the Brotherhood Banquet 20 years ago tonight, Tom Moore, advisor of KU-Y, said yesterday.
The annual banquet, which is sponsored by 30 community organizations, will be held at 6:30 p.m. at the Kansas Union Ballroom. About 400 are expected to attend.
THE 1968 BANQUET will feature the Rev. Murphy C. Williams, who studied at the Union Theological Seminary in New York and received a master's degree in sociology from Omaha University. He now serves as chaplain of the Colorado House of Representatives.
James Owens, former mayor of Lawrence and a newly-elected member of the Unified School Board, is chairman of this year's banquet.
The banquet terminates local activities of Brotherhood Week, which was begun by the National Conference of Christians and Jews.
THURGOOD MARSHAL, Sollicitor-General of the United States, was on of the outstanding speakers at past banquets. At the time, Marshal was general counselor for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Local citizens of all races and nationalities gather at the community center to prepare the
meal. Many feel that this does more to perpetuate brotherhood than the banquet itself, Moore said.
Only by intermingling freely with all men can one promote harmony in the world, Moore said. Such intermingling is the purpose of the Brotherhood Banquet.
