The Commission on Campus

his part in controlling campus
violence
The report also urged a "na

calling for stricter punishment

miristraiors.
In what it termed its most
important recommendation.
Uv commission said. "Only the
President has the platform and
prestige to urge all Americans,
at once, to step back from the
battlelmes into which they are
forming Only the President, by-
example and instruction, can

Van Vleck explains problem, increase

An upperclais student re

going to register his car finds a
sign reading All zones except

1970
tic then has two choices he
may buy an X-zone parking
sticker and take his chances on
liislmg a spate in the dirt area
tiehind Russell Hall or paying
bus fare to ride to his classes
from the coliseum, or he may
decide to forego getting a stick
er for a week Imping his un
registered car won t be spotted
by campus [mint-men and try
Ins luck al getting in an upper
class zone later
That's a tough choice to
make, hut most students decide
to do without a sticker, accord
ing to Marvin Van Vleck. man
ager ol the public safety de
partment
THESE STUDENTS should
note that the fine for an unre
gistered car has been raised
from $5 last spring to $15 on the
first offense and 120 for each
additional offense this fall
Fines for parking in the wrong
zone will remain $5 per ticket,
according to Van Vleck
He said that the increase in
the number of graduate stu
dents each year causes a park
ing problem because almost all
ol them have cars By the time
ali of the seniors and gradu
ate students have parking stick
ers. there are few Interior lots
left for sophomores and jun
iors.
Van Vleck said about 18.000
cars would be registered by
Oct 5 — including University
faculty and employees — and
only about 10,000 spaces are
available
He said that the department
can't obtain a good picture of
the parking situation during the
first week but that they would
be able tu evaluate the parking
loLs this week and would proba
bly issue more zone permits
beginning Oct 5.
THE PEAK HOURS for
parking are between 9 a m and
1 p m., according to Van Vleck
"We control parking lots by
class schedules — if the classes
are spaced out well between the
12 periods, we can overassign
cars by 100 per cent." he said.
The heavy traffic problem is
being caused mainly by car-
pooling and freshmen and
transfer students who aren't
yet used to the campus. Van
Vleck said. He explained that
carpooling causes a vicious cir
cle — students letting others
out of cars or waiting to pick
them up in front of classrooms
bogs down the bus schedules,
and then they complain because
the buses don't get them to
class on time and so they car-
pool
Van Vleck pointed out that
any car which is operated on
campus must be registered,
whether it is parked on campus
or not
!N AN EFFORT to expedite
the heavy traffic flow, two
streets have been made one
way: Sanford Drive I in front of
Dawson and Soule Halls I is one
way going south, and Ag Drive
I in front of Graduate Studies)
is one-way going north, from
Green Street to Cedar Street.
sodes of last spring, there has
not been the kind of leadership
needed to bring about the kind
of reconciliation that we re
talking about
He said he did not think the
president or his administration
shared the commission s deep
belief in the need for urgent
action to repair the divisions
The report cited the Indo
china War. racism and the col
leges themselves as the main
causes of student unrest
It urged the President not
only to end the Indochina War
but to "renew the national
committment to full social jus
tice and to be aware of increasing
charges of repression "
Nothing is more important
than an end to the war in Indo
china." the commission
warned " Dissaffected students
see the war as a symbol of
moral crisis in the nation
which, in their eves, deprives
even law of its legitimacy
“A NATION DRIVEN to use
toe weapons of war upon its
youth is a nation on the edge of
chaos. " it added "A nation
that has lost the allegiance of
part of its youth is a nation that
has lostoartof its future "
“Perpetrators of violence
must be identified, removed
from the university as swiftly
as oossible and prosecuted vi-
vigorously by the appropriate
agencies of law enforcement
It called upon the universi
ties to make clear to students
what kind of conduct will not be
permitted, and to waste no
time in calling police when viol
ence erupts.
Faculty members who lead
or take part in "disruptive con
duct" should be fired, the re
port stated
Finally, the report urged
universities to reform their
operations, but to do nothing
that would hamper tree speech
and the exchange of ideas on
campus
THE COMMISSION de
nounced violence on the part of
both students and police, sav
ing. "Students who bomb and
burn are criminals Police and
National Guards nen who need
lesslv shoot or assault students
are criminals
All who applaud these
criminal acts share in their
evil We must declare a nation
al cease-fire
The panel recommended
that police and guardsmen car
ry rifles and shotguns on cam
puses only when there is snip
ing or armed resistance It also
urged increased training of
National Guardsmen and the
use of non-lethal weapons and
protective equipment
According to the report,
some authorities have abused
their power Too many law
enforcement officers have re
sponded with unwarranted
harshness and forep in seeking
to control disorder. " it stated
" Actions — and inactions —
of government at all levels
have contributed to campus
unrest The words of some pol
itical leaders have helped to
inflame it."
SPEAKING TO the nation's
students, the commission said
they must protect the rights of
all speakers to be heard, and
realize that language that of
fends will seldom persuade "
The report added that students
"should not expect their own
views, even it held with great
moral intensity, automatically
and immediately to determine
national policy
When presented with the
report. Nixon told Scranton. "I
can assure you that your report
will be controversial I want to
say don't worry about that.
Worn if it's not controversial
We don't want a bunch of intel
lectual eunuchs around here
The President has not yet
read the report, but Scranton
said Nixon plans to read it and
confer with him after the presi
dential trip to Europe
COMMENTING ON Vice
President Spiro Agnew s re
marks about students. Scranton
said attempts to make political
issues of hair styles and modes
of dress are rather infantile
and kindergartcnish
The commission's 35-page
report denounced what it
termed divisive and insulting
rhetoric on the part ot govern
ment officials and protestors
Presidential aide Robert
Finch said he didn't think the
recommendation calling for
less fiery rhetoric was refer
ring to Agnew Under pressure
from reporters, however.
Finch said. "You'll have to ask
Gov Scranton that. I'm not
going to pass judgment on indi
viduals in this administration
Scranton declined to point
specifically at Agnew. but
made the comment that, "it s
certainly not helpful for the
vice president or anybody to
make some of the comments
made earlier this year
In other recommendations,
the commission urged stricter
controls of ,i.e sale, transfer
and possession of explosive
materials to meet the increas
ing threats of arson and bomt>
ing
IT ALSO URGED that Nixon
call a series of national meet
ings designed to "foster under
standing among those who are
now divided "
The report proposed that the
government offer "greatly in
creased financial aid for black
colleges and universities' and
that formerly all-white schools
step up minority student re
cruitment.
The panel announced that
separate reports on the killings
at Kent State and Jackson State
will be released next week
But the report mentioned
student rock throwing in the
Kent State incident, declining
to comment on officials earlier
claims that gunfire was direct
ed at National Guardsmen
The commission also said
that repression of black stu
dents was "shamelessly " prac
ticed at Jackson State It stated
ed that the incident did include
brick and bottle throwing and
harrassment of police and fire
men. but that no shooting oc
curred before officers "fired a
barrage into a girls' dormito-
ry.”
