Sen. Russell Defends U.S.
Commitment In Viet Nam
BY BILLY DILWORTH
Banner-Herald Writer
The United States has no oth-
er alternative but to continue to
fight in Viet Nam "until we re-
cieve a satisfactory settle-
ment," Sen. Richard B. Russell
told a crowd of hundreds at a
University of Georgia Blue Key
fraternity banquet Friday night.
"But Viet Nam is a poor
place to fight and I was opposed
to going there in the first
place," the senator said, in a
question-answer session after
his brief address.
"We can't get out now. We
must stay there and fight-as
tough as it is and hard to con-
template," the state's senior
senator declared at the banquet,
where he received the Blue Key
Award "for outstanding service
to the University and higher
education."
"I have many reasons for
concern, just like everybody:
else, in Viet Nam," he said.
"One of my favorite nephews is
flying a helicopter over there."
The senator expressed doubt
over the wisdom of Defense
Secretary McNamara's decision
to eliminate many Army re-
serves units, including some in
Georgia.
"Secretary McNamara has a
brilliant mind," he went on.
"He can compute rows of fig-
ures faster than a machine. But
I still don't think he has ever
understood the defense system
in the United States."
Russell had high praise for
Georgia-born W. Tapley Bennett
Jr., U.S. diplomat to the Dom-
inican Republic.
"I think he was made a whip-
ping boy," the Senator said. "I
believe the attack was really on
Lyndon B. Johnson-and not
Tap Bennett. Bennett is a Geor-
gia boy and a good diplomat.
He doesn't rattle easily. I think
the U. S. position in the Domini-
can Republic was right. We
were justified in sending U. S.
Marines' over there to protect
our own people."
The senator drew a thunder-
ous ovation when, answering a
question, he said "my health is
good when you consider the
mileage I've had. Good for six
more years."
Russell hailed congressional
passage of the Higher Educa-
tion Bill "as the most important
thing to happen to college edu-
cation since land-grant status
was given years ago."
"My vote in favor of that bill
gave me as much satisfaction
as anything in a long time," he
added.
The senator praised Universi-
y President Dr. O. C. Aderhold
SEN. RUSSELL
and other leaders for giant
strides achieved in education
and he recalled his student days
at the University when many of
its first buildings were con-
structed.
"In the 1970s a bachelor's de-
gree will be no more than a
high school diplomas was years
ago." he warned
The hour-long program hon-
oring Russell was laced with
humor-sprinkled with earlier
comments from Athletic Direc-
tor Joel Eaves and Head Coach
Vince Dooley.
"I feel tonight like I have
been out-recruited," Eaves told.

Seminar Opens
A poultry health seminar be-
gins today at the Center for
Continuing Education and will
continue through Wednesday.
Its purpose is to offer the lat-
est research information on the
poultry industry's most impor-
tant health problems in the
Southeast. Two hunder veteri-
narians representing diagnostic
labratories and poultry compa-
nies, service personnel, and
management are expected to
attend.
Society To Meet
The Athens Historical Society
will meet at 8 p.m. Thursday in
the Athens Federal Savings and
Loan Auditorium. Dr. E. Mer-
ton Coulter will speak on "The
Athens Dispensary."
His talk will be based on his
unpublished research of city-op-
erated liquor stores during the
Court, Court of Appeals, Board
of Regents, students, and alum-
ni. "They invited us here last
year-and again this year. I
hope we'll be invited back."
"A miracle has occurred-if I
have ever seen one," Eaves
said, referring to Georgia's suc-
cess in athletics.
Coach Dooley expressed sur-
prise at Sen. Russell's knowl-
edge of Georgia's football team.
"And I'm really surprised at
how much he knows about
Clemson," the coach said, smil-
ing.
Both Eaves and Dooley were
applauded and Sen. Russell
twice received a standing ova-
tion.
The senator nodded toward
the coach and proposed an
agreement. "I'm willing to
agree." he said. "I won't try to
get Coach Dooley's job-if he
won't try to get mine."
Tucker Dorsey, vice-president
of the Blue Key, presented the
service award to Russell. Simi-
lar honors were accorded Dr.
Phillip Weltner for his contribu-
tion in education.
Dr. George Parthemos, vice-
president of instruction at the
University, welcomed the group.
in absence of President Ader-
hold. He called Russell "truly
one of the illustrious public fig-
ures of our time."
The senator was introduced
by Charles Campbell, three-
year member of Blue Key.

Claim Long Hair
Part Of Image
BRIDGEPORT, Conn (AP) -
When the dean ordered three
students at the University of
Bridgeport to get haircuts, they
protested long hair is part of
their professional image as mu-
sicians.
So Dean Alfred R. Wolff has
put off further action until he
can go over the contract the
students have with the booking
agent. They claim that the long
hair is written into the contract.
