Mary Grace Concannon, repre-
THE PRINCIPAL POINT of controversy of SDS was that VISTA, being part of a government agency, is not free to engage in political agitation or organization. Miss Concannon argued that the VISTA volunteers do in fact participate in political activity although they are part of a Federal program.
As an example, she cited a California rent strike in a poverty area that was instigated by VISTA volunteers but not actively participated in by them.
Miss Concannon outlined the workings and aims of VISTA for

the SDS members. Most of the questions from the membership concerned working conditions, pay scales, and methods of operation rather than ideological disputes.
The members also discussed the concept of "in loco parentis," meaning the University's acting as parents of the students, and particularly in relation to the restrictions of women's dormitories. SDS is considering plans and policies concerning the issue.
Santo Domingo Riots Move Into Third Day
SANTO DOMINGO —(UPI)— The stutter of machine gun fire and the thunder of bomb blasts in downtown Santo Domingo early today ushered in the third day of a wave of violence in which at least 15 persons have been killed.
Although the tone of the disorders was violently anti-American at the outset, the U.S. troops here have scarcely been involved
in the outbreak. American paratroopers restored order in the downtown area for a time Wednesday, but the shooting started again as soon as they withdrew.
The trouble started when police fired into a mob of unruly teenagers outside the Dominican "White House" Wednesday, killing two and wounding 43.
Baustian Resigns KU Post
KU Professor of Orchestra, Robert Baustian, resigned his position this week to lead the symphony and chamber orchestras at Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio.
Mobs screaming "kill all Yankees" swarmed into the streets of violence-ridden downtown Santo Domingo, and a few minutes later the shooting started.
A member of the faculty since 1957, Baustian leaves KU in June to continue his work as administrator and conductor of the Santa Fe Opera Company in Santa Fe, N.M. His work with Oberlin College begins in September.
Previous to his work at KU, Baustian was the only American conductor on the permanent staff of an European opera. He was the second conductor of the Hessian State Theater in Wiesbaden, Germany. He also was associated with the State Theater of Zurich, Switzerland.
Baustian said leaving KU was a hard decision to make, but he could not resist the challenge of the Oberlin assignment.
Borrowed Lines
KU's school song was borrowed by Prof. George Barwell, almost identically from Cornell's alma mater.
