Funds asked for radio set at Watkins
A co-chairman of the Student Health Commission will ask the All Student Council (ASC) Tuesday for $500 to buy a two-way radio set-up for Watkins Hospital.
Allen Merritt, Wichita senior who works at the hospital as a student orderly, said the radio hook-up would establish a direct contact with the ambulance service in downtown Lawrence.
Merritt added that such a system would give the hospital immediate notification that a patient was on the way to the hospital, and it would enable the hospital to ascertain somewhat the patient's condition and allow the hospital to determine if the patient's condition was too serious to be treated at Watkins.
The ASC could provide the money for such a project, Merritt said, because the council allots a certain amount of money each year to its various committees, and much of this money is not spent by these committees. If it is not spent, it is turned back to the University. Merritt said.
"Buying this two-way radio would put student funds back to work in an area which directly concerns students — student health," Merritt said.
Rick von Ende, Abilene, Texas,
graduate student and ASC vice-
chairman, said the ASC could
spend money on an undertaking
such as this.
"I would imagine that ASC could pretty much spend its money any way it wants to, within reason," he said, "though if it had never been done before, we might have to get it cleared with Ray Nichols, vice-chancellor of finance."
Correction
Beta Theta Pi won the Hill Volleyball Championship last Wednesday instead of Beta Sigma Psi as it was reported in Thursday's Kansan.
Spock-
Continued from page 1 he is trying to win on the negotiating table what he has been unable to do on the battlefield," Spock said. He suggested that in order to achieve peace in Vietnam, the United States cease its bombing, recognize and deal with the National Liberation Front, and then remove itself from Vietnam, "a place where it has no business to be."
He later added that no peace will be reached "as long as Lyndon Johnson is President."
Although Spock suggested that the most effective way to block the war and the draft was for resisters to go to Canada or to jail, he added that draft resistance is a "dangerous business."
"It may block your education and the whole development of your career. For many people, conscientious objection is the right thing to try," he said.
"It is only when your insides tell you that you won't be satisfied with anything else that you should decide you will go to jail," he said with a mock grimace, clutching his stomach.
Neither the Republican nor the Democratic party have done anything to solve the problems of America, Spock said. Hope for the United States lies only in the growth of a new political movement, he said.
He mentioned the New Politics Convention, of which he is cochairman, which held what many people consider a disastrous convention in Chicago last summer.
One of the successes of the convention was the equal representation of Negro and white persons on the boards of the councils, Spock said. Although the Negroes at the convention did not have as large a number present as the whites, Spock was "not surprised" when they asked for equal representation.
"When black leaders come to a convention such as this they have a large group behind them who are still cynical about politics," Spock said.
"If we are going to build a militant new political movement we have got to have the representation of black people and poor whites, intellectuals and youth," he declared.
Spock also mentioned the Peace and Freedom Party, which recently sent representatives to the KU campus, as another growing, anti-war political movement.
Spock, who said he "admired the hippie movement in some respects," said he did not agree with Norman Vincent Peale that he is responsible for the condition of today's youth. Yet in his gentle diatribes against the draft he revealed a responsibility toward young people as fellow human beings in a bad predicament.
When asked the standard "baby-doctor" question Sunday afternoon, Spock gave his standard answer. "You ask, 'Why doesn't Spock stick to babies and leave the war to the generals?' It is a democratic principle that everyone should inform themselves as well as they can and take a position on that."
