If Violence Comes to the Campus . . .

College Students Can Avoid Injury or Arrest
CHICAGO—(N E A)—With
the phrases “back to school”

people on and near college

won’t occur.
But while radical student

manuals and campus and
local police forces study riot
control, seminars on inno

“No bastard ever won a tear by dying for Ms

poor dumb bastard die for hit country...”
GENUAL CEOBCE S. PATTON, JR.
Patton was a rebel. Long before it
was fashionable. He rebelled against the

gomery. Against the establishment —
and its ideas of warfare.
Took 5 years to graduate from West
Point. Yet along with Stonewall Jackson,
considered the most daring army com
mander in American history.
In national disgrace for slapping a
GI. Relieved of his command. Yet was
given the Third Army that exploded
across France. Liberated 12,000 cities
and towns. Inflicted a million-and-a

more practical advice:
“In a real confrontation,
police are usually in line op
posite the demonstrators,
who are in a kind of con
glomerate mass. If you wan

far from the demonstrators
as possible, and don’t walk

under any circumstances.
Stay away from hills —you
don’t know what’s beyond

Tiny Vatican is
big in art world
By ROBERTA McDOW
Copley News Service
VATICAN CITY - The
smallest of Europe’s postage
stamp countries is also the
youngest.
Vatican City, a 108.7-acre
parcel of property completely
surrounded by Rome, was
founded only 41 years ago.
But in its tiny domain are
some of the world’s greatest
masterpieces and some of
Western civilization’s oldest
treasures.
The area that is now

dents, he notes, can deter
mine when the atmosphere
becomes hostile. That is a
good time to leave, he rec
ommends.
It is also advisable to
leave when the police are
called in, Gillespie adds. If
some demonstrators refuse
to obey police orders, vio
lence may be triggered and
being an on-looker can be as
dangerous as being a par
ticipant.
Veteran reporter Marty
O’Connor of NBC-TV in Chi
cago has some counsel for
camera bugs eager to add
some riot shots to their pic
ture collection. "For an ama
teur,” he says, “getting too
close to a riot with a camera
is a sure invitation to trou
ble.”
What about the student
who wants to go to class and
finds the door blocked?
Vatican City has been
associated with Christianity
for centuries. In 1929 St.
Peter’s Basilica, the Pope’s
palace and adjoining pro
perties of the Roman Catholic
church were recognized by
Italy as an independent state.
The Vatican, in turn, relin
quished all claims to large
areas of Italy that had once
been known as Papal States.
Other church properties
within Rome and outside of
it such as the Pope's summer
palace, Castle Gandolfo, were
recognized as properties of the
liberated Berlin ten days before the
Russians if his drive had not been halted
by order of his superiors.
This is how a New York Times edi
torial, on December 22, 1945, two days
after his death, described Patton:
“Long before the war ended, Patton was
a legend. Spectacular, swaggering, pis
tol packing, deeply religious and vio
lently profane, easily moved to anger
because he was first of all a fighting
man, easily moved to tears because un
derneath all his mannered irascibility
he had a kind heart, he was a strange
combination of fire and ice.**
PATTON is a salute to a rebel with a
cause. Like him or not, here is Patton.
And that is the way he would have
wanted it.
First, it’s worth a phone
call to the class instructor to
determine if the class has
been canceled or moved to
another location. If the class
is still on and the classroom
is in a turbulent area, it’s up
to the student to determine
how important the class is
to him.
Marvin Harrington, direc
tor of security at Northwest
ern University in Evanston,
expects an increase in legal
retaliation against students
and nonstudents who cause
disturbances.
“There’s no reason why a
group of students who want
to continue a class can’t re
quest an injunction against
boycotters,” he says.
Fred E. Inbau, a North
western law professor,
agrees. He has formed a
committee, "Americans for
Vatican but not part of it.
Castle Gandolfo, in fact, is
one and a half times larger
than Vatican City. The status
of these areas is similar to
that of the United Nations
in New York.
Best known of Europe’s lit
tle countries, Vatican City has
millions of visitors each year.
There is no passport control
nor customs inspection on
entering the tiny sovereignty.
And within its walls there is
no hotel nor restaurant to ac
commodate the tourists.
Most visitors are awed by
the history, the culture and
the faith that the Vatican
represents. But there is a
village-like atmosphere here,
too. I saw it in a knee-ban
daged, roller-skated little girl
who carefully walked up the
steps of St. Peter’s on her
skates.
A nun leaving the Basilica
saw her too and smiled broad
ly at the accomplishment.
Vatican City is a village
in other respects. It has a
small population, about 1,000.
Citizenship in Vatican state
is given to persons, and their
families, whose duties require
them to live within its walls.
When residence requirements
or personnel change, Vatican
citizenship is suspended.
It has also the one - only
services found in a small town
— one post office, one
telegraph office, one bank, one
supermarket, one medical
center, one drugstore, one fire
station and one railroad sta
tion. There are other services
beyond those offered by small
communities —a heliport, an
international newspaper, a
powerful radio station and a
professional police force.

The suburban church
faces renewal task
By CLAIRE COX
Copley News Service
NEW YORK - The
suburban church is faced with
a threefold problem as it
strives for renewal — young
people who think they are
neglected, women who feel
unwanted and men who fear
their lives are irrelevant.
The traditional Sunday
service, Christian Endeavor
meetings, weekday sewing
circles and monthly men's din
ners and Bible classes are
no longer enough to hold the
church on the fringe of the
city together.
What are the answers to
the quandaries of the
suburban clergy and their con
gregations, who are part of
the metropolis and yet may
appear to be far from the
mainstream?
An effort to find new mean
ing for the local church con
fronted with elements of
small-town life enmeshed with
urban concerns has been made
by Gaylord B Noyce,
associate professor of pastoral
theology and acting
coordinator of field education
at the Yale Divinity School.
Noyce, who was found guilty
of participating in one of the
early freedom rides in
Montgomery, Ala., and later
won a U.S. Supreme Court
reversal of the conviction, has
set forth his ideas in “The
Responsible Church." issued
by the Westminster Press, the
publishing house of the
United Presbyterian Church in
if you’ve been hit on the
head and have a headache,
you may be tempted to just
take an aspirin.
“Headache is a symptom
of concussion and careful ex
amination by a doctor is a
must.”
Bleeding, a sign of possi
ble skull fracture, is another
danger signal, he adds.
Tear gas and other chem
icals can also cause serious
damage.
If your eyes or skin come
in contact with such a chem
ical, rinse them as soon as
possible, and rinse before
applying an ointment that
might seal the chemical in,
Modjeska urges.
Tear gas and smoke are
especially dangerous for any
one with a history of asthma,
he adds.
(Newspaper Enterprise Assn.)
the United States
“The power of the suburbs
today is very real and it must
be taken into account by
strategists and practitioners of
church missions," Noyce
skid. 1 ’
As a beginning, he recom
mended that the churches con
sider ending their internal
segregation, which splits off
youth, women and men.
As for young people, he
observed, “the major caveat
for the church is that it not
sell its youth short. What is
called for is less talk about
•keeping them off the street’
or ‘teaching them to go
straight' and more about
working together toward goals
that both older and younger
members of the church can
share."
Once they are given an op
portunity to express
themselves through mean
ingful service, young people
often lead the way for their
elders, Noyce reported, as in
the case of a congregation
where teen task forces laun
ched a variety of projects —
tutoring, nursing-home visita
tion, participation in day-care
centers. Soon the adults of
the church were involved in
similar projects.
Since women have proved
themselves to be effective ac
tivists, they should be allowed
to spearhead work in behalf
of special causes, Noyce
recommended, and because
they control most of the con
sumer dollars, they should
be invited to help hold the
church purse strings as well.
The workingman who feels
alienated from church and
community as a daily com
muter needs to have more
personal attention from his
clergyman, who should
develop a keener un
derstanding of the problems
of the suburbanite who works
in the city.

Agnew Dims GOP
Chances in Texas
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON (NEA)
One Republican expert believes that the 1970 Nixon-
Agnew strategy of allowing the vice president to hammer
especially hard on Democrats he calls radical liberals is
a handicap to GOP Senate candidates like Rep. George
Bush of Texas.
Bush is widely judged to be trailing Lloyd Bentsen, who
beat incumbent Sen. Ralph Yarborough in the Texas pri
mary and enjoys heavy backing from the state s conserva
tive Democratic leaders, including former President Lyn
don Johnson and former Gov. John Connally.
The expert’s theory is that Agnew’s tactic seems to sep
arate Democrats into good guys and bad guys and suggest
by implication that defeat of the good ones (not radical
liberal) is not so vital.
Bentsen clearly falls in the "good” category, and he al
ready has enough going for him in Texas without any in
direct pats from the administration. Bush, attractive, still
has a fighting chance, but his less than 50-50 prospects, like
those of Senate candidates in some other states, need a
better kind of Nixon-Agnew push than they are getting.
Texas sources say Bush’s money problems are becom
ing serious since the pressure went on from the influential
conservative Democrats. The GOP nominee won’t starve
financially, but he’ll have to spend more time than he
should to rustle up the necessary.
When Yarborough was the expected adversary, Bush
figured to do a John Tower and gain the votes of dis
gruntled Democrats —or at least see many of them stay
home on election day.
The usual Democratic conservative-liberal split is at
work in Texas, but the judgment of sources there and
among experts here is that fewer liberals will be jumping
to Bush or staying home than was the case in Sen. Tower’s
1961 and 1966 races.
Labor’s unresponsiveness to Tower’s two opponents was
also a key factor in those battles, but here again Bush is
not likely to benefit in the same way. Though Texas labor
leaders are not exactly turning handsprings over Bentsen,
they are reported to be giving him more aid than the usual
lip service from national AFL-CIO sources has actually
produced in past tests involving conservative Democratic
nominees.
None of this means Bush will get no assist at all from
Texas liberal-labor forces, but the outlook is for only a
modest-sized replay of the defections that twice helped
Tower so notably.
The truth is that, though Bentsen is said to gain from
the open campaign effort being put out for him by both
LBJ and Connally, this advantage among conservative
voters is not having the same painful offset among liberals
as when Johnson and Connally were actually in seats of
power.
Some political analysts are arguing that Bush will make
a significant dent into the state’s black and Mexican-Amer
ican vote, but they are not saying this is likely to prove
decisive.
Bush does have his plusses in addition to basic attractive
ness. One is a good organization sparked by Marvin Col
lins, who last year helped elect Republican Linwood Holton
governor of Virginia. Unaccustomed to heavy challenges in
the past, the Democrats never have developed a thorough
going grass roots setup across huge Texas.
Bush needs perhaps 200,000 Democratic votes if the Nov.
3 total approaches an expected two million, and most
specialists don’t see where they are coming from. He and
Bentsen are close on issues, and yet somehow Bush is
being blamed for a controversial federal court order af
fecting part of East Texas on school integration, though
he did not favor it.
Bentsen reportedly is having some success, too, in laying
NASA space cutbacks on Bush as a representative of the
incumbent Nixon administration, and he is thought to be
making points on the argument of: “Let’s not have two
Republican senators in Washington.”
Putting it all together, Texas adds up as a reasonably
close race, with Bentsen seeming to have the compelling
weight. Some new Nixon-Agnew strategy will be needed
plus more money coming faster, to give Bush real hope
of closing the gap.
