The University was acquitted Friday of charges of conspiring
to prevent the sale of Maine Chance Farm to Arnold C. Pessin
and Rex Ellsworth, thus ending a period of anxiety for persons
connected with the University's agricultural research program.
A jury of nine women and
three men returned the verdict here. After the UK foundation

Palmer made these specific

Until a student senator managed to get a copy, persons asking for the portfolio were told
it was not available.
The Regents made no official
response to Palmer's charges. Edwin Pauley, chairman of the investments committee
(investments in his companies: almost
$1.3 million) said, "I don't agree
with the charges," but he also
gave notice that his committee
will propose some changes in
policy, including investing up to
10 percent of the University's
funds in more speculative stocks,
a recommendation made by a
special committee of investment
experts who studied the university's policies.
Palmer said students will continue to push the issue if Reagan continues to insist on raising fees and that some graduate
business students will be taking
a closer look at the investments.
The Regents also continue to
be concerned that some students
might get credit for listening
to radical lecturers.
The latest issue was a series
of nine lectures being given by
Tom Hayden, one of the founders
of Students for a Democratic
Society. Several faculty members
said they would give credit to
approximately 100 students for
independent study of revolution
in which the lectures will serve
as one of several resources.
Several Regents were worried
that the lectures are in violation
of their ban on credit for any
courses in which an outside lecturer appears more than once.
Chancellor Heyns said that so
far only one professor has
offered credit for a course
involving the lectures and that
in that case they are optional.
He said the registrar's office
would refuse to allow credit for
any course in which the lectures
were the entire substance of the
course.

for future military officers, is
under fire at colleges across the
country. But at the Pentagon
command post the word is: Casualties are light and the enemy
can't win.
Nevertheless, officers directing the Reserve Officers Training Corps are uneasy.
What worries them is "Project Volunteer," a study billed
as a first step toward an
military service. It's
prompted by the Nixon administration's desire to end the draft,
and the draft is the best thing
ROTC has going for it.
A Lehigh University student,
asked his opinion of ROTC,
summed up the prevailing attitude on most campuses: I may
as well go in as an officer."
Thousands of students, faced
with what they see as an inevitable draft call, have opted for
ROTC despite periodic protests
by the Students for a Democratic Society and other militants
against the military presence on
campus.
The program seemed to be

In the Pentagon, Lt. Col. Morgan Cronin, chief of policy and

dent's field of study can determine whether he gets credit for
ROTC. The biological sciences
department at one university refuses to grant its majors anyi
credit for ROTC while the physical sciences department accepts
12 ROTC credits toward degree
requirements.
Cronin also had at hand charts
to show that the number of credits given isn't always a barometer of the number of students who
will stay in ROTC and earn a
commission.
For example, St Peter's located in Jersey City, N.J., gives
no credit for T
no credit for ROTC but is rated
a high producer of officers. Last
year, 133 St. Peter's graduates
completed ROTC, although participation is required only for
second-yea- r
d
students.
For years, the nation's land
grant colleges which include
most state universities thought
they were required by federal
law to provide military training
as a compulsory course for freshmen and sophomores.
Rulings Changed ROTC
In the 1930s the Supreme
Court ruled that while land grant
colleges were required to offer
courses in military science, participation didn't have to be mandatory.
Then, in 1964, Congress rewrote the law and made it clear
that ROTC could be voluntary.
Enrollment in ROTC promptly declined, but soon levelled off.
Rising college enrollments have
enabled ROTC to maintain a
first-an-

show of growth the past few
years.
Cornell University at Ithaca,
N.Y., is one of the schools where
the credit given depends upon a
student's area of study. The College of Arts and Sciences voted
to stop giving academic credit
for ROTC, which is voluntary,
starting next fall.
And student opinion varies
widely.
"Beats The Draft"
"It's the best way to beat
the draft," said John Elligers,
a junior enrolled in advanced
ROTC. "I'm going to have to
serve my two years and I'd like
to serve it as an officer."
Stanley Chess,
of the Cornell Daily Sun, observed that "Sadly, ROTC has
its place here.
"The alternative is to build 20
more West Points," said Chess.
"ROTC enables the largest possible civilian influence on future
officers."

taught in any order, and are without prerequisites. All students
could get the four courses by the
end of their sophomore year, he
explained.
Students who begin Air ROTC
in their freshman year must take
the four courses to be reduced
in credit and an additional 12
hours in their junior and senior
years. Students on a "two-yea- r
plan" must take only the 12
hours for upperclassmen.
The changes would be four of
1,500 to 2,000 changes made each
year in course offerings at the
University. They are described
on a descriptive resume which
was sent to the A & S faculty
earlier this month.
Army ROTC Similar
Army ROTC at the University has about 300 students enrolled. It also requires eight hours
of freshman and sophomore classes and 12 more in the junior
and senior years, but there are
no plans to reduce the lower
level requirements, according to
the head of the Military Science
Department, Col. Howard Parker.

Col. Parker explained that an
Air ROTC student must remain
in the service for four years after
graduation, while Army ROTC
graduates are required to serve
only two years. He said the Army
ROTC program must therefore be
more extensive so that graduates
will be able to more fully utilize
their shorter duty period.

said, "If thereis going to be
ROTC anywhere, I'd rather have,
it here on campus where I can'
watch it."

But who is serving on this commission? None other than the presidents of the different student governing bodies (and only if they are

'And Now, Ladies And Gentlemen,
Mr. Garrison, With His Bare Hands

Bus Boom
Student Government President Wally Bryan and his cabinet are
to be commended for the work they have done to provide better intra-camptransportation. Hopefully, the two new express buses now
from the Complex to main campus each morning will help
running
alleviate the problems that have plagued the original system so far
this year.
To state that an efficient intra-camptransportation system is
needed on a campus the size of this one is certainly to state the obvious, but some people here have been slow in facing the fact. The
only reliable means in the past of moving oneself from one end of
campus to another has been one's feet, and it is only this year that
buses have been found to be more efficient, or at least potentially so.
Hopefully, the new express buses will help that system operate at
maximum efficiency.

Digression Answer
To the Editor of the Kernel:
I feel that I must answer Marguerite
Ogden's letter of Tuesday, Feb. 4. Her
emotional digression is so full of flaws
that I hardly know where to start, but
let us begin.
She says that "Recent events have
finally aroused me enough to say a few
words in defense of 'our' side (white)."
This story beginning in itself shows a
complete lack of any real understanding
so sorely needed today that we need to
see not "our side" and "their side" but
one side, i.e., man as man, black or white
or yellow or red or brown, simply man
as man. She fears "that the Negro movement has caused a lot of people to jump
on the bandwagon, not knowing exactly
where it's going." What bandwagon? It's
still no great privilege for a black baby
to be born into this white society. The
sting of prejudice is still all around, and
it hurts. If she means to speak of those
radicals who say "burn, baby, bum," she
should say so. But label
