Presidential Race Called Amateur-PrBy JAMES MARLOW

WASHINGTON
The 1968
presidential race at this moment
is a contest between professionals
and amateurs, with the former
letting the latter get the audience

with their big act.
In short, they're playing it
cool as long as they can although
before the year is up they'll all
probably be overheated.
The amateurs are Michigan's
Republican Gov. Ceorge Rom-ne- y
and Minnesota's Democratic
Sen. Eugene McCarthy. Neither
has ever bid for the presidency
before although both have been
in politics quite a while, McCarthy longer than Romney.

Jow You're Changed9

Boots have come a long way from the days of
rubber galoshes that you wear over your shoes.
They still keep your feet warm and dry but now
they arc a fashion accessory also. They arc made
in a wide range of colors, materials and styles.
According to one of the local shoe store managers,
one of the best selling styles of the season is
the
vinyl boot. Black and brown arc
still popular colors, but more and more other
colors such as red, grey, white arc being worn.
No matter what the winter weather prediction,
boots are here to stay.

Kathic St. Claii
sophomore zoology major, spends her spare

Woman's Editor

Petite, blonde Kathie St.
Claire is handling a man-size- d
job at the Animal Lab of the
Chemistry-Physic- s
Building. She
is the sole caretaker of about
130 rats.
The rats are being used in an
experiment conduct ed by Dr.
Ellis V. Brown , director of general
chemistry, to study certain dyes
and determine whether any of
them are carcinogenic, or cancer
causing.
Kathie, a sophomore zoology
major from Falls of Rough, Ky.,
feeds, cleans and waters the rats.
Her other chores include making
the special food. After a group
of the rats have been on the diet
for two months, several of them
are killed. Kathie then sends
their liver to the pathology lab
to be tested for cancerous tumors.
6
Kathie spends from
hours a week in the lab. One
of the best things about her work
is that she gets to set her own
hours. Whenever she has any free
time, usually between classes,
she can go to the lab.
"My friends get as much fun
otit of the rats as I do. They're
always asking me how the rats
are," says Kathie. Some of her
friends have even given her the
nickname "Mousie."
During her spare time, Kathie

likes to sew. "But," she says,
"with keeping up with my studies
and caring for the rats, there is
very little time left over to sew."
Right now, Kathie plans to
take a broad science curriculum.
"I then hope to do graduate work
in library science and become
a technical librarian."

A peace and freedom party
spokesman, Mort Vickcr, said at
the party's San Francisco headquarters, "We did know that the
people of San Francisco and the

Vicker described the party as
"very grassroots" and said the
registration campaign was financed
"almost exclusively"

"We received tremendous support from students," he said.

one scientist prominent in sex

Of course, there are large clusters of similar sets of opinions

One cluster includes people
who regard sex as entirely a
private matter, certainly not one
for public discussion, or any prying.
At another pole, scientists increasingly are making sex a matter of objective study in all its

remarks.
In communities across the nation, parents and teachers are

Sovereign Lord

Traveling leige lord George Wallace is all for college professors taking loyalty oaths. In fact, he predicts professors will be loyal to him
next year when he becomes President.
The best argument for not having loyalty oaths is that such oaths
do not necessarily guarantee loyalty. And the best example for that
simple argument is Wallace, who
swore to a loyalty oath when becoming Governor of Alabama and
loudly proclaims he is a segregationist.
Loyalty, which is usually expressed by a person's actions, is a
quality determined in the mind
and cannot be enforced by any external "means such as a loyalty
oath. However the effectiveness of

a loyalty oath is second-rat- e
value. There is no reason why teachers should be forced to take a loyalty
oath when the loyalty of other Americans is presumed.
Former President Dwight Eisenhower once commented that he too
would bitterly resent taking a loyalty oath "if I were singled out to
do it merely because I happened
to be a veteran or a golfer or someone who lived in Kansas."
A required loyalty oath many
Americans feel, is not only unjust
but illegal. The Authors League
of America in 1964, condemned
to
loyalty oaths as
use or distribution of
publication,
an author's work." Part of their
adopted resolution reads as follows:
"Hesolvcd, that the council reaffirms that declaration and condemns, as a violation of the free
speech guarantees of the Hill of
Nights, and as an indefensible
to writers, any attempt to
"pre-requisi- te

af-ho-

compel an author to take a
loyalty oath
The loyalty oath requirement
came about in 1957 as a
of the space race between
the United States and the Soviet
Union. Congress became aware of
the need for more scientists after
the Soviet Union successfully
e
launched the world's first
satellite and attempted to
reverse our enemy's lead by authorizing the projection of a seven-yea$1 billion loan program for
students and schools across the
country. This program was the
National Defense Education Act,
and according to the Congressional Record, this was the first time
Congress had endorsed the principle of a federal contribution
toward general education.
The Act required a selected
group of Americans who sought
the loan, to sign an oath attesting
to one's faith in and allegiance
to the United States. A unified
protest came from some 96 U.S.
colleges and universities objecting
to the oath, and since then numerous organizations and individuals
have objected to this patriotic
pledge.
Patriotism is a complex thing.
The good patriot is not always
the good man, re the patriotism of
Germans who burned their fellow
Germans alive in gas ovens, should
serve as an appropriate example.
Most men are patriots because
for modern man, the state provides
an immense amount of security
and happiness. To be disloyal to
one's nation is often being disloyal
to oneself.
Yet it should be understood that
the human personality is endlessly
varied and thus must contribute
and serve in different ways, the
community and the nation. A loyalty oath makes sheep out of men.
Allegiance to the United States
can be taught and encouraged but
it cannot be compelled by a written
oath. Like love, loyalty must be
volunteered; it cannot be demanded.
Wallace sees no harm in a required loyalty oath. He says people in the street don't understand
all this talk about academic freedom, but they are tired of college intellectuals who advocatekill-in- g
