U.S. cautions
remaining ships
WASHINGTON - As
President Nixon went ahead
with plans to visit Moscow,
the Defense Department
Thursday warned 31 ships
remaining in Haiphong harbor
against trying to leave and
cautioned North Vietnam
against any attempt to clear
its ports of U.S. mines.
Four hours after the mines
were activated at 7 a.m. EDT,
while it was nighttime in
North Vietnam, the Pentagon
reported no mine explosions
and no U.S. bombardment of
ships or docks in Haiphong.
But, a spokesman said, “1
don’t want to foreclose what
we might do in the future.”
Neither the White House
would comment on the Soviet government’s delayed
denunciation of the U.S. mining and blockade operation,
which it demanded be lifted immediately.
“We’ve seen the report. We have no comment. We’re
studying it,” said White House press secretary Ronald
Ziegler.
Rescuers uncover more victims
KELLOGG, Idaho - Rescue workers pushed through a
maze of shafts and tunnels deep in the Sunshine Silver Mine
Thursday and found the bodies of 14 more miners killed in
the fire which trapped them nine days ago.
The latest vicitms were found in two separate locations.
One group of seven was at the 3,700-foot level, 1,100 feet
above the tunnel where the two survivors were rescued
Tuesday night.
He said the group of seven apparently died instantly
while eating their lunches, indicating the poisonous carbon
monoxide gas swept quickly through the tunnel where they
were found.
Morton grants pipline permit
WASHINGTON - Interior Secretary Rogers C. B.
Morton announced Thursday he has decided to grant a
right-of-way permit for an oil pipeline across the heart of
Alaska.
In his announcement, Morton rejected proposals for a
trans-Canadian route on the ground that the oil was “vitally
needed” as soon as possible.
Environmentalists already have gone to the courts in an
effort to halt construction of the pipeline, contending it
would do irreparable harm to the fragile Arctic
environment.
They also have pointed to the danger of oil spills from
tankers that will carry the oil from Valdez to refineries at
West Coast ports to the south.
Court overturns sentences
CHICAGO - The U.S. Appeals Court Thursday
overturned contempt of court convictions of the Chicago
Seven defendants, their two attorneys and a Black Panther
party leader, imposed at their trial on charges of inciting
riots at the 1968 Democratic National Convention.

the tanker Tien Cheung were
also believed to have died in
the fog-shrouded crash, the
Coast Guard official said.

Quiet crowd rallies,
marches in protest
By STEVE WOODFORD
Production manager
Yesterday’s anti war and voter
registration rally produced a sparse
and relatively quiet crowd of 270.
The rally started slowly at
Memorial Plaza with groups of twos
and threes straggling in before I p.m.
Lynn Baldschun, carrying a portable
microphone, sporadically addressed
the group while they waited for the
start of the march. He urged the
students to let “(President) Richard
Nixon know how you feel. In 1970
massive demonstrations forced Nixon
to pull troops out of Cambodia
sooner than he would have
otherwise. We can do it again; join
with us.”
As the rally began, the marchers
headed up Sanford Drive and
through north campus with a few
persons chanting “Join us,” “One,
two three, four, Richard Nixon stop
the war,” and “One point peace plan,
out now.”
MARCHERS WERE quiet for the
most part as they moved through
campus. But, once reaching town the
group voiced its protest louder.
Leaflets about the Vietnam war
were distributed to the Athens
townspeople, most of whom were
receptive to the protest. As in
previous demonstrations, businesses
halted and people stopped to watch
the march.
Carrying signs and continuing to
chant, the marchers moved down
Broad and Clayton streets to the
Clarke County courthouse where
they sat and listened to several
speakers including Regional VVAW
Coordinator Chuck Searcy.
COMMENTING ON Regent Roy
Harris' fear of the student vote,
Searcy said, “They (the politicians)
recognize the threat of the student
vote, and when student voting is felt,
we’re going to run these politicians
out of office. You can’t reason with
politicians anymore, you just have to
turn them out of office,” Searcy
said.
“Harris says that if every student
here registered we could take over
Athens,” said Searcy. “But our
intention is not to take over Athens;
it’s to get some good things done in
this community.
“Any American who understands
how we have been misled can not
help being opposed to the war. What
we’ve got to do is to get out and talk
to people, go into businesses, and tell
them the facts about the war and let
them make their own judgement,”
said Searcy.
HISTORY PROFESSOR Charles
Crow spoke on the war and
politicians saying, “We are being told
the same old lies, and the same old
deceptions are being practiced.
“Feminist radicals are right about
the male ego,” Crow said.
“Politicians are so afraid of the word
chicken. They keep saying ‘we won’t
back down, we won’t be humiliated,
we won’t lose our honor.’ But how
much honor is there in the death of
tens of thousands of soldiers, in the
rape of a country, in bombing and
napaiming, and in maiming so many
men?” he said.
“The most honorable thing we
can do is to remove all troops from
Vietnam within 48 hours.”

MUSKIE PREDICTS
Edward H. Dunbar, junior
journalism major, was named station
manager for the University’s new FM
radio station, WUOG, last night by
the personnel committee of the
board of student communications.
Beau Allen will act as program
director for the new station. Howard
Winkler will serve as production
manager and John liillis as news
director.
The committee’s selections are
subject to final approval by the
board of student communications,
but such approval, according to
Director of Student Communications
Sean McClencghan, has traditionally
been forthcoming “without
question.”
Dean Warren K. Agee of the
journalism school said “the selection
committee was extremely impressed
with the caliber of the applicants.”
( <) M M U NICATIONS DftnCtOC
McClencghan said, "We had a
tremendously difficult decision in all
sections. The competition was brutal.
Because we brought in professionals
from outside, we are getting a
professional standard for the
station.”
Ten professional broadcasters
from four states began screening the
applicants for the top four salaried
positions of WUOG Thursday
afternoon at one p.m. Two faculty
members from the journalism school
joined the professionals.
The broadcasters chose two to
three finalists for each position.
These finalists met individually with
the personnel committee of the
board of student communications
from 4 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. for the
final screening.
All four of the new station leaders
arc journalism majors, and all are
National Merit Scholars.
Dunbar, station manager of the
new WUOG, had “far and away the
best qualifications for a managerial
position,” stated Sean McCleneghan.
Dunbar’s latest job was working
with CBS sports during the Master’s
Golf tournament in Augusta.
Beau Allen, a senior radio-TV-film
major, has worked part-time for WSB
radio in Atlanta. He presently serves
as stringer correspondent for WSB.
Howard Winkler, production
manager, is a sophomore working
toward a degree in broadcast news.
Winkler has worked for WGAU radio
in Athens.
John Hillis, news director, has
over two years professional
experience with radio stations in
Louisiana and Georgia.

McGovern may win '- u P rot to head
By Inllrd Press International
Sen. Edmund S. Muskie said
Thursday that Sen. George S.
McGovern could capture the
Democratic presidential nomination
on the first ballot by defeating Sen
Hubert H. Humphrey in California's
winner take all primary next month.
With 271 convention delegates at
stake in the June 6 race, Muskie said
the C alifornia primary is "critically
important” and that the outcome of
the McGovem-Humphrey show-down
there would carry great
“psychological impact” going into
the July convention.
As Muskie analyzed the volatile
presidential situation, McGovern.
Humphrey and Alabama Ciov. George
C. Wallace battled in Michigan and
Maryland for votes in next Tuesday’s
primaries thfcre and a total of 18S
convention delegates.
MCGOVERN launched his
campaign in Michigan by urging
voters to give less attention to
court-ordered busing a major issue
in the state and more to settlement
of the Vietnam war.
“I don’t believe the people of the
state see the school bus as a greater
threat to their future than the war
the war is what’s killing people,” the
South Dakota senator told member*
of a huge United Auto Workers local
in Flint.
Wallace, confident after three
days of vigorous campaigning for
Michigan's 132 delegates that his
strong antibusing stand would bring
him another victory, concentrated
Thursday on Maryland’s suburbs near
Washington before appearing at a
mass rally in the town of Frederick,
Md.
HUMPHREY, favored to win the
Maryland presidential preference
election over a field of 11 while
Wallace takes the majority of the
state’s 53 convention delegates,
challenged the Alabama governor's
commitment to tax reform. “Mr.
Wallace talks about it and I practice
it,” he said during a swing through
Baltimore.
Muskie, who has quit the primary
campaigns but remained an active
presidential candidate, offered his
evaluation of the Democratic race in
an interview on public television.
DESPITE Muskie’s prediction,
Rep. Wilbur D. Mills of Arkansas said
Thursday that he expected to get the
nomination from a deadlocked
convention searching for a
compromise candidate. Mills,
chairman of the powerful House
Ways and Means Committee,
acknowledged at a Washington news
conference that his own candidacy
had failed so far to attract very much
support.
But he said he was convinced that
the convention’s 3,015 delegates
would not be able to agree on any of
the present front-runners and in time
would look for a respected leader
capable of healing party wounds. “I
believe I could be that man,” Mills
said.
romance languages!
Three years of searching by the
University ended Wednesday with
the Regents’ approval of the
appointment of Dr. John Dowling as
head of the University’s department
of romance languages.
Dowling, currently chairman of
the department of Spanish and
Portugese at Indiana University, will
replace Dr. Manuel D. Ramirez,
acting head of the department of
romance languages since 1969.
Ramirez said the delay in
choosing the new head came because
“It’s just very difficult to get a
department head.”
Ramirez will continue as acting
head until July 1, when Dowling’s
appointment becomes effective.
Indiana University head since
1963, Dowling was also a former
head of the foreign languages
department at Texas Tech and a
former faculty member at the
universities of Texas and Wisconsin.
Dowling recieved a BA degree
with honors from the University of
Colorado where he was a member of
Phi Beta Kappa. He holds MA and
PhD degrees, with a major in Spanish
and a minor in French, from the
University of Wisconsin.
The author of numerous books and
articles, especially concerning 18th
century Spanish literature and
modem Spanish drama, Dowling
studied in Spain on an Albert
Markham postdoctoral traveling
fellowship and a John Simon
Guggenhein fellowship. His three
most recent publications include a
study of dramatist Leandro
Fernandez de Moartin and two
editions of plays by the same author.
