Student left ponders battle lines
By MERRILY ROBINSON
The student left at KU is reorganizing. The students and faculty involved are essentially the same, but the battle lines are changing.
According to Ham Salish, KU assistant instructor and long-time participant in anti-war in Vietnam movements, the Vietnam Committee is nearly defunct and heir-apparent is the newly-created Kansas Peace Forum.
Salsich formerly chaired the Vietnam Committee and was one of the moving forces in the organization of the Peace Forum in November, 1986.
KU STUDENTS for a Democratic Society (SDS) has long been inactive. Dean Abel, Lawrence graduate student and president of SDS, has admitted the organization, for all practical purposes, has a membership of one.
The remaining prominent organization. Student Peace Union (SPU), stands firm, according to its president, Phil Bayles, Lawrence junior.
"As far as we know, SPU is still autonomous," Bayles said. "We have no plans for disbanding. And
if the peace movement does come down to just two organizations next year, I think they will strengthen, rather than weaken each other."
Salsich blamed the weakening of some of the peace organizations on "angers and jealousies."
"THEE HAS BEEN a lot of hair-splitting and factionalism during the last few months," he said, "and it could develop into a real breakdown.
Salsich said he felt the creation of the Kansas Peace Forum had "given a new spark" to the peace movement at KU.
simism setting in Everyone seems to be losing faith that we can actually accomplish anything. I think that's what's creating this LSD thing out on the West Coast—the feeling of ineffectual."
"THE PEACE FORUM enables students to work with the faculty in a way that isn't possible with the other organizations.

"There seems to be a deep pes-

Red author explained by Slavic pro
The author of "Lolita." Vladimir Nabokov, and his impact upon the Russian literary tradition was discussed by Simon Karlinsky, associate professor of Slavic Literatures at the University of California at Berkeley, yesterday in the Kansas Union Cottonwood room.
"Nabokov was satisfied with writing for literary art," Karlinsky aid. "He did not write of social or political values as did so many of his contemporaries."
Karlinsky said that Nabokov was not considered a Russian writer by the Russian critics.
Karlinsky said that Nabokov was actually concerned with the social situation, but preferred to look at it from the aspect of "total environment."
Active in the field of Russian literature, Karlinsky has written a ballet which was performed in Berlin, Tokyo, and Lubbock, Texas.
Karlinsky's lecture was part of a series of guest lectures sponsored by the KU Slavic languages department and the Center for Slavic and East European Studies.
The tournament will be moved Sunday to the Union Jayhawk Room.
The president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engine Men will speak on government intervention in collective bargaining next Friday before a labor law class taught by Raymond Goetz, professor of law.
