              Gruening Attacks LBJ’s V. Nam Policy
Seminars
The great bulk of students and about 700 local citizens attending the all-night teach-in seminars gathered in LC110 to hear the panel composed of Dr. William Marina, Florida Atlantic University. UM graduate; Dr. Jack Painter, and Dr. Hay Lemos, UM department of philosophy; Dr. John Knoblock, UM department of Humanities and Rev. John Papandrew, First Unitarian Church.
The session opened with talks presented by Dr. Marina and Rev. Papandrew who gave their views on why the US should pull out of Viet Nam. Some public opinion in the audience voiced disapproval against these views and to avoid possible chaos Dr. Tedeschi took over the floor and laid down ground rules.
Marina stated in his opening talk that the growing militarism in the United States is the reason for US involvement in Viet Nam and policy cannot triumph due to atrocities committed by US soldiers and American - backed unpopular South Vietnamese governments.
Rev. Papandrew doubted our moral right in Viet Nam and urged the pull-out of forces and
their being replaced by a UN police force which would uphold the 1954 Geneva agreement of self-determination for Viet Nam.
A student asked then where the US should make a stand if it leaves Viet Nam, the Philippines, Japan or where? Dr. Knoblock stated that he didn’t think the U.S. could immediately pull-out and that it is committed. He said the United States should make a stand where it could if it is tenable, but that eventually the US will have to pull-out as its policy is not based on staying forever.
A query was put to the panel asking if the U.S could win in Viet Nam with it’s present policy. Dr. Marina said, “guerrilla warfare is a political and ideological war, barker!-up by an army of Viet Cong, who have something to ofleT the average Vietnamese, whereas the U.S. has nothing, as we are a western power associated with imperialism.
Dr. Knoblock, dissented this fact and said the question as to winning or not is one of economics and time. However, he said, it must be realized that Viet Nam in actuality falls under the Chinese political sphere of influence.
“Viet Nam is a matter of time, and it is a matter of having the proper timing which will enable the US to pull-out in the appropriate style, but leave we i must,” he said.
Dr. Painter stated, “I think we | should pull out now and let the j Chinese swallow as much of j Southeast Asia as it can and then we should sit-back and watch her slowly regurgitate it.”
Again Marina was challenged, this time on his statements about American militarism and escalation and the possibility of bombings forcing the North Vietnamese to the conference table.
He replied, “The civil war cannot be settled with North Viet-Nam but only with negotiations with the National Liberation Front (Viet Cong) and the estab- J lishment of a possible Tito-type regime. The bombing of North I Viet Nam has not proved to have had any effect on lessening the j war.”
A student asked Dr. Knoblock ; if he had any evidence to believe that a push on the north would force China to speed-up their progress for internal revolution or hurt their internal position.
He replied. “That during the Korean war we found that war did not effect the internal development of China and in fact their revolution cannot he given a specific date for successful completion.”

Honors Day Laurels For 116 Students
The University of Miami's top ranking undergraduate scholars were honored during a one hour Academic Honors Day program Wednesday, on the Student Union Patio.
Special pins and academic stoles w’ere awarded to the 116 Dean's list scholars by Dr. Armin H. Gropp, dean of the Graduate
School.
The group included eight students who have been ranked on the list for six consecutive semesters.
Mortar Board Chapter Here
Mortar Board, the nation's top senior honor society for college women, will be formally installed at the University of Miami today.
Special ceremonies will start at 3:30 p.m. to install the chapter and initiate more than 100 alumnae and active members of Nu Kappa Tau, the University’s oldest honor society for women.
Mrs. George C. Stafford, Mortar Board's national president and director of social activities and social education at Syracuse University, will be installing officer.
Others on the program will be Mrs. Harold Richards of Tallahassee, national historian; Dr Daisy Parker, professor of government at Florida State University and expansion consultant for Mortar Board, and Dr. Lynn R. Bartlett, coordinator of women’s residence halls at UM and section director of Miami for Mortar Board.
The 117 Nu Kappa Tau initiates will include 27 undergraduates, of whom 14 are actives, all seniors, and 13 upper junior pledges; and 90 alumnae of whom 72 are UM graduates and 18 are honorary members of NKT. •,
Since its founding in 1918, Mortar Board has granted only 112 chapters, partly because of its exceedingly high standards, partly because of its conservative policy of expansion.
Among its chapter membership requirements is “fiirst class ratine” of the university by the American Association of University Women.
Recent tapees of 27 academic honoraries, winners of graduate | fellowships, were also introduced.
National Science Foundation winners were Lawrence G. Rose, Mathematics; Jon C. Staiger, Ma-J l ine Sciences; Thomas Devany, Marine Sciences; Jan Parrish, Psychology, Arthur Yehle, Psychology; Neil Chernoff, Zoology; Frederic W King, Zoology; David Marans. Philosophy; Elliott ! C. Maynard, Zoology; and Rowland M. Shelley, Zoology.
New directions in the field of financial aid are being called for in the colleges and universities of the United States. This is a re-ult of the expected 60 percent increase in the number of college students during the next ten years, according to the UM vice president for academic affairs, Dr. Werner Baum.
In a speech delivered to a luncheon meeting of UM scholarship recipients and scholarship and loan fund donors, Dr. Baum pointed out that “It has become almost trite to speak of the rapid change in our world and the problems created for higher education by the knowledge explosion and the population explosion.”
The trend today is to award scholarships of determined amounts on the basis of the individual's financial situation, as well as his previous academic achievement and promise of academic success.
"The notion that the larger the scholarship award, the more brilliant the recipient, is a fiction. Baum continued. Since scholarship funds throughout the country are insufficient a student should not ‘get a free ride’ or receive more aid than he really needs.
Dr. Baum cited the discernable trend among colleges and universities of “packaging" financial aid. as a characteristic of the financial aid program of UM and other colleges. “An increasing number of colleges, the University of Miami among them, today combine the award of a scholarship with the offer of a loan or part-time job in some of their awards. By using this approach, institutions can stretch available financial aid fund to help a larger number of worthy students. The policy also encourages the individual student to take some responsibility for financing his education.
Faced with the rising costs of college education, Baum explained that “it should be expected that college applicants and their parents in increasing numbers will seek financial help from in-
stitutions and other sources."
Dr. Baum described the pasage of the National Defene Education Act of 1958 as a milestone in the history of student aid almost as noteworthy as the famed “G.I. Bill.”

government.
lie said his stand on current policy is based on his ‘study of historical facts,’ and he is against our imperialistic attitude.
Delving into the background of the current crisis he said that ‘we’ violated the UN charter as it pertains to Viet Nam today.
"We have not sought settlement in any of the eight ways stated in the charter. Had we waged peace as we did war, things might be very different,” he said.
“The government that asked us in is long gone,” he said. “McNamara is reallv behind all this.”
He then said that he voted against Johnson on this Viet Nam question when he asked for additional military appropriation. "If we are at war ask for a declaration of war from Congress, don't deal as if we are at war, I without declaring it," he said.
When Johnson recently asked for $7 million it was not because we needed it—it was Johnson j asking for a vote of confidence in his policies. Johnson put it as if to vote against the appropriation was the same as supporting communism in Viet Nam, he said.
He concluded saying, “Nothing which happens in Viet Nam affects us. We must keep our heritage and legends alive.”
Dr. Raymond Lemos, UM Department of Philosophy, was the only speaker of the evening who expressed an agreement with the
