Senator Robert F. Kennedy

Midway through a question and answer session after Robert F. Kennedy’s Nashville speech, a middle-aged man leaped to his feet and began shouting a tirade of accusations at a slightly taken-back Bobby Kennedy.
“You are taking unfair advantage of President Johnson on the Vietnam War issue. Your family is rich and you’re powerful and you just want to be president. You’re taking unfair advantage of President Johnson on the Vietnam War issue,” screamed the irate critic. The audience was momentarily stunned.
Kennedy had to interrupt
the barrage of accusations in	★	★	★
order to get in an answer.
"The present course of the war to win a military victory will not work. I do not suggest that we surrender or simply pull out of Vietnam. What we need is a gradual de-escalation which will lead to negotiation and a diplomatic solution. A purely military solution cannot he achieved and will not work.”
But Kennedy’s unrelenting antagonist yelled back, “You changed your mind just so you could be president. Here is a copy of a 1962 New York limes article where you are quoted as saying we can and

Three members of the Hurricane staff traveled north last week to pursue three presidential candidates and obtain interviews establishing their positions in relation to the present and future Selective Service System.
The initial purpose was to procure information for a special edition of the Hurricane which will explore and analyze the draft.

The spirit of Adlai Stevenson is alive in Wisconsin. Two weeks ago it was alive in New Hampshire.
The question that must haunt Bobby Kennedy is whether it will still be alive on the floor of the Chica-
go Colliseum in July.
Before the candidacy of Senator Eugene McCarthy, few Americans under 25 could quite understand the depth of feeling and sentimental attachment their older contemoraries felt toward the late presidential candidate. Today they know.

Carthy and Richard M. Nixon in Wisconsin, and David Brown, Hurricane news editor, met with General 1 ewis Hershey in Washington D C.
Mans and Pinsky were part of the press corps which accompany the candidates on tour. Pinsky left Wednesday and joined the McCarthy entourage in Wisconsin and later picked up Richard M. Nixon who is also campaigning to win the primary. Mans left Thursday morning to join Kennedy in Washington and travel with him on his tour of the south. Brown interviewed Hershey in Washington, then covered the activities of student protests at Howard University.
The plain looking, soft-spoken candidate, with h i s scholarly manner and quiet wit has inspired a quasi-religious following among many college students.
The young people who are running the Wisconsin campaign of Eugene McCarthy feel that there is only one profile in courage being etched on the presidential campaign scene in 1968 — and that it the outline of “their" man.
The candidate's day of campaigning begins with a brief review of troops at the state headquarters in Milwaukee’s Hotel Wisconsin. On the first floor is the re-

Carni Gras ’68 Closes, Lambda Chi Alpha Wins
By JOHN ASHFORD
Hurricane Stall Writer
Carni Gras '68 drew to a close last Friday night after two big evenings nf “fun and frolic.” A carnival fair atmosphere was predominant, as this annual UM tradition brought a myriad of diverse booths as well as a number of amusement rides to the campus.
The 122 booths, ranging from food delights and novelty sales to amusement and skilled games, were arranged along three midways. The rides, located along the perimeter of the grounds, featured a ferris wheel, a go-cart track, a sky wheel, a round-up wheel, and a scrambler. Events at the various booths included assorted ball throws, ring tosses, dart games, dunk booths, shooting galleries, and a weight guessing booth. Other popular attractions were the car smash and various psy-c h e d e 1 i c and electrical games.
Carni Gras took in approximately $13,000. This is a 30% increase over last year’s all-time record. A total of 66 organizations participated.
Lambda Chi Alpha was the
overall winner of Carni Gras and therefore was ineligible to win their division. All entering organizations received spirit points.
The independent orange division went to Alpha Kappa Psi. Delta Sigma Pi won the green independent division. In the sorority division, Delta Phi Epsilon won the orange level. The lower green level was won by Sigma Delta Tau.
USO obtained a trophy for
consecutive service. They contributed to Carni Gras by selling tickets and handling concessions during construction time.
The upper orange fraternity division went to Zeta Beta Tau. The lower level award went to Alpha Tau Omega. Zeta Tau Alpha sorority won the lower division award for the best appearance, durability throughout, and originality.
Ted Peck, over-all chairman, considered this year's “carnival” an unprecedented popular, as well as financial,
success.” While 60% of the proceeds were returned to the 66 sponsoring organizations, the other 40% went to the Paul R. Yarck fund. This money goes towards the construction of student activities and facilities like the tennis courts located near the 730 East dormitory.
The Carni Gras executive committee included Ted Peck, overall chairman; Thad Koch, layout chairman; Randy Femmer; financial chairman; Mike Tryson, administrative chairman; John Leatherwood, publicity chairman; Tom Rebel, assistant to over-all chairman; Louise Walters, secretary; Steve Hill, USO representative; and Bob Seguin, assistant to the administrative chairman.
Ted Peck stated that “student involvement was what made Carni Gras the great success that it was Their enthusiasm and spirit was wonderful, and their ideas were novel and creative.”
This was Dr. Adam’s last year and Peck wanted Carni Gras to be especially nice. The cooperation of everyone involved made this possible.

Tonight
‘Crusader ’
In Ibis Cafeteria

By CRAIG PETERSON
Hurrican* Staff Writer
Ralph Nader, self-styled consumer crusader and one-man reform movement, will appear tonight at 8:00 p.m. in the Ibis Cafeteria.
Speaking about “consumer affairs,” the 33-year-old author of “Unsafe at Any Speed” will also discuss the aspects of the new aura of politics he helped create — thakai iwidfic cart1 for the consumer.
Nader helped begin the 1966 safety furor and has since continued to snipe at the industry’s efforts at building safer cars.
The lawyer’s influence helped create the National Highway Safety Bureau, which has ordered dozens of safety devices added to new cars.
The proposed safety standards for next year include mandatory speed governors, more heavily-padded interiors, plus 19 other devices.
His name has become a nasty word in the dialect of millions of American sports or stock car enthusiasts who object to the addition of safety devices to their cars.
Nader has been personally effective in cutting Corvair sales by a huge margin, and it has been rumored that the adverse publicity of Nader’s book could cause the demise of the Corvair, a car he labeled "unsafe.”
None of the scores of lawsuits against General Motors
for building unsafe cars has ever been won by a plaintiff.
Nader’s last major score was Federal legislation to ban un-meaty meat. He is
said to he planning a major offensive against Swift and Company, one of the industry’s largest meat packers.
Other immediate objectives for the busy Harvard graduate include an attack against General Electric and a renewed tirade versus the Detroit auto makers.
Nader frequently travels the college circuit and ap peared at a Newark university last month.
He conducts weekly seminars at Princeton and has written numerous articles on corporate abuses for leading publications.

SAFAC
Recommends
Allocation
By LINDA KI.FINDIFNST

Recommendations for the distribution of the $400,000 Student Activity Fee were released last week by the Student Activity Fee Allocation Committee (SAFAC).
This recommendation for the fiscal year ending May 31, 1969, has not yet been decided upon by the university Budget Committee.
According to the proposal, football would receive the historical allocation of $0.25 per student for each home game. There will be five home games during the 1968 season. Therefore, football will claim $1.25 of each student’s activity fee.
Other athletics will receive $0.975 per student.
Homecoming and Carni Grass will still receive $0.50 per student. Debate will receive $0.125 per student and Student Activities, $2.75 per student.
“The allocation to HURRICANE and Ibis will be cut to $0.80 and $1.80, respectively," stated Larry Neary, chairman of SAFAC. “This is due to the fact that they did not use all the money which they had received last year.”

Last week’s "peace demonstration” and the response it received from students was something decidedly different for the UM campus. The reaction to the overall effect on the university by students and administrators was varied.
Dean of Men, Robert Hynes, who was present during most of the three-day demonstration, said, “There were some tense moments. This was indicative nf the type of emotional topic that was under consideration. There were some healthy debates going on, and that was good — I think there were times when we all could have behaved a little more like ladies and gentlemen.”
Mrs. Louise Mills, Associate Dean of Women, made the comment, “I think the students conducted themselves well on Tuesday and Wednesday. I think essentially the result of the demonstration was good — lots of people had to think and got to talk. The students were vitally interested. I’m in favor of peaceful demonstrations."
"I think the general result of the demonstration was good,” said Jordan Glaser, one of the organizers of the protest. "We aroused the apathetic campus to action.”
“Our presence will be made known in the future, but in a different way,” continued Skip Johnson, another of the demonstrators. “We plan to have lectures, teach-ins, films, and various other forms of educational publicity."
"This university has always been two years behind the average institution,” Skip

themselves with national and worldwide issues. I’m happy that apathy is dead,” he finished.
Other UM students were not too pleased with the protest. John C. Redmond, a veteran of the Korean War and a student at UM, stated, “My stand is that the peace people are definitely shielding cowards, draft card-burners, and draft-dodgers. That is why I oppose them. They are definitely shielding
anti-Americans of all kinds."
Another former serviceman, presently a IJM student, Ira Moskowltz, commented, "There's a right way and a wrong way of American expression. Freedom of speech allows them to vote and support their candidate. This is an election year. The wrong way Is what they did. That sort of activity undermines the national security."
Lt. Jeffery Bernstein, one
of the Army recruiters, said in regard to Monday's disorder, “The students at UM yesterday showed what disorganization can do. They were not actually set up in any degree of order, and the result was yesterday’s fiasco.”
One interesting comment was made by a local newsman, conducting interviews Tuesday on the Student Union patio; “This university is finally getting to be a university.”
