primary-
Continued from page 1 declared candidate for the nomination four days after McCarthy's 42 per cent showing in the New Hampshire primary but too late to get on the Wisconsin ballot.
"Wisconsin proved New Hampshire was not just an accident," he shouted to crowds of about 1.700. "We have shown the power of the students—student power. This is a night to be happy."
McCarthy said the contest for the Democratic nomination had now become a two-man race, between him and Kennedy. He saw no room left for the entry of Vice-President Hubert H. Humphrey.
Kennedy and McCarthy will collide directly in primaries coming May 7 in Indiana, May 14 in Nebraska, May 28 in Oregon and June 4 in California. Johnson's name will be on the Nebraska and Oregon ballots and favorite son candidates originally chosen as proxies for Johnson will be listed in Indiana and California.
In any conventional reading of the political outlook, Kennedy would be favored over McCarthy in future primaries because of his access to greater resources in money and organization. But McCarthy so far this year has torn apart the conventional rules of politics with his ragtag army of amateurs and student volunteers.
The Wisconsin turnout Tuesday
appeared to be a record for a presidential primary here despite the one-sided character of the GOP contest and Johnson's renunciation of candidacy.
Because Wisconsin voters are not registered by party, they are free to vote in any primary race regardless of whether they regard themselves as Democrats, Republicans or independents.
Although Johnson's decision had been expected to hold down Republican votes in the Democratic primary, there was still clear evidence that McCarthy benefited from GOP crossovers.
With Johnson apparently out of contention for the presidency, many of Kennedy's admirers saw no reason to follow his advice and vote for McCarthy. They gave Kennedy about 40,000 write-in votes—more than 4,500 in Milwaukee County and about 2,500 in Dane County.
The Republican vote followed predictable lines. Denied major active competition since George W. Romney withdrew, Nixon polled about the same share of the vote he received in the New Hampshire primary March 12.
With his name on the ballot, Reagan did not do better in Wisconsin, in percentage terms, than Nelson A. Rockefeller did in New Hampshire March 12, where there was an organized write-in campaign for the New York governor.
Madison voters oppose Vietnam cease-fire by US
MILWAUKEE, Wis. — (UPI)— Voters in Madison, Wisconsin's capital city, Tuesday rejected a proposal that would have made their community the first in the nation to oppose the Vietnam war.
Fifty-seven per cent—27,555 of the voters cast ballots in opposition to the proposal which endorsed an immediate cease-fire and withdrawal of American forces from Vietnam. Forty-three per cent-20,523 voted for the cease-fire and withdrawal.
The question presented called for a "yes" or "no" vote on the statement:
"It is the policy of the city of Madison that there be an immediate cease-fire and withdrawal of troops from Vietnam, so that the Vietnamese people can determine their own destiny."
While it was rejected, however, Madison's proposal drew greater support than a similarly worded referendum question last November in San Francisco. That proposition drew the support of only 37 per cent of the 209,128 voters there.
Madison's voters followed the recommendation of their City Council in voting down the proposition.
Centennial Western Civ course is tough
The heavy load of the regular Western Civilization program is not nearly as heavy as that of the accelerated program for students in the Centennial College.
The Centennial College students who choose to take the accelerated program of Western Civilization cover two-thirds of the year program in only one semester for four hours credit. However, students in the accelerated section must take the comprehensive exam immediately following completion of the course.
This accelerated program is an experimental idea which began last fall and has yet to be evaluated. It has not been decided whether the program will be in existence next year.
The five instructors for the program are: Donald Marquis, acting assistant professor of philosophy and Western Civilization; Michael Reaves, Paul Steeves, G.
Ray Thompson and Miss Rebecca Underwood.
The instructors like their respective sections because the students participate more than in the regular Western Civilization program. Since the accelerated sections meet twice a week, the students are forced to spend more time studying the course and the student's regular load of hours is taken into consideration.
The students complain of the amount of material they must cover and digest in such a short time. The instructors said the average assignment is to cover about four men in one session. Jerry Lewis, executive director of College Within the College, said the students would prefer to have more than one day to prepare for their Thursday class.

"I think your first presumption is that a person engages in basic research with an objective in mind, like starting out by saying, 'Now sit down and invent a devilish weapon,'" said Heller. "Our concern isn't whether or not basic research will make green toothpaste. Our concern is with the expansion of the frontiers of knowledge," he said.
"I think you want to say that this is tainted money because it passes through the defense establishment," said Heller of the funds certain faculty members receive from the Defense Department for research. "As far as we are concerned, this money could just as easily have come from the National Science Foundation," he said.
A member of the group attempted to sum up Heller's statements. "It seems to me that Dean Heller has eloquently stated the University's position," he said. "The University is an institution which is totally committed to what is going on, and is not committed to change.
Another student asked. "In the case of the presence of ROTC, which is the decision of the University administration, why doesn't the University of Kansas remove ROTC from its campus?"
Heller replied: "I think an assumption which troubles critics of the University is that the University or the administration pushes buttons and pulls levers, but it doesn't. For instance, curriculum changes are the responsibility of the faculty. You may think it is an administrative decision to remove ROTC or allow it to remain,
"Is this University required to accept any legal institution, no matter what the perforcers oruw.. matter what the purposes or function of that institution is?" Heller was asked.
"Some changes are going to have to be made, sir," he continued. "And these changes are going to have to be made here. But how can they be made here, when the institution is cancerous in every department," the student asked.
"I want to be very emphatic. Yes." Heller said.
but it is not. I assure you that the fact that there is an ROTC curriculum is a faculty decision."
He added that he saw no difference between the ROTC curriculum and other curricula of the university, such as chemical engineering or physical therapy.
As the student's voice rose, Heler remained calm, and replied with a smile.
"I have no doubt whatsoever that each generation . . . thinks the existing establishment is unreasonable and unthinking, and if not immoral, then at least amoral," he said.
