This is Ktru News master tape F master tape F spring semester 1970 Potter lecture report. Number two, review of his speech, Pat Baum Times 70 seconds. February 16th, 1970 America's past has been torn by conflict and division even as it is today. Yet certain basic beliefs

00:00:30.530 - 00:00:54.080

continue to unify society. Doctor David Potter explained that we must try to hold the balance between conflict and consensus to achieve such a workable compromise. Professor Potter has this recommendation that those enlisted in society's contending interests should have a basic minimal regard for each other. One

00:00:54.090 - 00:01:16.930

party or interest seeks the defeat of an opposing party or interest on matters of policy. But at the same time, seeks to avoid crushing the opposition or denying the legitimacy of its existence or values. Now, this is in short, the principle of limited conflict, limited combat,

00:01:17.410 - 00:01:43.860

which has governed the behavior of small boys and of traditional political parties continued limited warfare as in the past. So in the future, Doctor Potter's outlook is not encouraging Pat Baum Ktru news interview with Coach Don Noel from Paul Laina February 17th, 1970 time, 80 seconds.

00:01:47.919 - 00:02:01.769

KTRU news has talked to our basketball coach Don Nole, and here he tells what he thinks it will take for the, to pull out a championship if we can get close to the, the maximum that we think each boy can give. Uh, and that's including our

00:02:01.779 - 00:02:17.679

bench. Uh, because you have to have that. I think that, uh, that we can win it. I don't believe that we're, that we're playing over our heads. Uh, we might be accused of this but, uh, we're winning, uh, a few ball games, Baylor and, uh, and

00:02:17.690 - 00:02:33.589

SMU and, and I don't think we play particularly well and, uh, it's a matter of, of just poor execution, but we're still putting points on the scoreboard and getting, getting them when we need them. And, uh, I think if we can get normal, uh, play, no,

00:02:33.600 - 00:02:49.179

uh, nothing, uh, tremendously outstanding. I think it could be enough to carry us through this home stretch tonight. It's the Owls versus the Arkansas Razorbacks in an 8 p.m. Entree court tip off. The Owls took Arkansas by seven in the hills earlier this season, but the

00:02:49.190 - 00:03:03.600

Pigs have won the last two straight including a one point decision over Baylor Robert mckenzie leads the Arkansas attack along with soft sensation Elmer Lee who is averaging 17.1 points per game, no flush game in this one but a prelim Pitts Baker college versus Will Rice

00:03:03.610 - 00:03:27.919

College and the intramural college championship game. This is Paul Laina ktru News report on the Student Senate Senate Sunday afternoon meeting from John Doe February 17th, 1970 time, 90 seconds in its last meeting before general elections, Lee Horstman Senate acted expediently on some election issues and

00:03:27.929 - 00:03:43.660

they pulled a couple of fast ones too. The candidacy of Carolyn Kendrick, the only contestant for the office of Thresher editor was declared invalid pending the outcome of her appeal of disciplinary probation by the dean of students. She was placed on disciplinary pro after the CIA

00:03:43.669 - 00:03:59.839

recruiting protest, no student on disciplinary or academic probation may hold a university office. The Senate will now go to the dean and ask for a decision on Carolyn's probationary status. If she is found not to be on disciplinary pro, she may re file for the office

00:03:59.949 - 00:04:17.750

as can any other qualified student in an election reform. The successful completion of B A 200 is no longer a prerequisite to filing for the offices of S A secretary treasurer Thresher business manager or Campany business manager. As a result of Sunday's meeting the filing deadlines

00:04:17.760 - 00:04:36.000

for the thresher editor and business manager and Campany business manager have been extended and amazingly enough, indefinitely extended. But even more amazing is the fact that the Senate appropriated about $1000 to send people to conferences and in doing so, promised to spend $100 more than was

00:04:36.010 - 00:04:52.700

budgeted. Ktru News contacted Joan Foster treasurer of the Senate and learned that while she was not present at Sunday's meeting, she would have voted against the appropriation in her own words, quote. We just don't have that money to spend, end of quote. Perhaps we can hope

00:04:52.709 - 00:05:19.799

for better things on March the third when the retiring senate meets jointly with the newly elected Student Association officers, John Dor Ktru News Bill Whitmore, two cuts concerning the artificial grass at Rice Stadium from February 18th, 1970. Simply that we're going to go to some form

00:05:19.809 - 00:05:42.170

of astroturf or artificial covering for Rice Stadium. It'll be ready for this coming season. Price will be the first private or denominational school in the country to have artificial feet. Rice continues intends intensely to continue in major college football. You know, everybody's been snapping at us

00:05:42.179 - 00:06:02.130

and uh so it's rather obvious if we're, if we're making a move like this and scheduling teams like Notre Dame and Southern Cal and LSU, we're, we're gonna try to continue to compete. Don Noel, interviewed by Paul Lavin February 18th, 1970 time, one minute, 15 seconds.

00:06:06.040 - 00:06:20.970

Rice's seven point decision over Arkansas coupled with an Aggie win over Texas tech and a Texas win over TCU puts the Owls in an almost unbelievably good position in the conference race by Las Vegas standards with a two game lead with but four games to play,

00:06:20.980 - 00:06:36.209

the Owls must win two to clinch a tie win three to clinch the title outright. The next hurdle will be the University of Texas at Autrey court. Saturday night. Coach Don Noel considers a win essential, know that it's a must game. Uh, we said all along

00:06:36.220 - 00:06:48.890

that you got to win it, uh, win at home to, uh, to win the championship. And of course, Rice hasn't been too successful against Texas in the past. Uh, I think we've beaten them one time out of the last six years and, but I do feel

00:06:48.899 - 00:07:02.579

that it's time to, uh, to write that score. Uh a little bit, of course, uh One of Rice's two conference losses was to UT at Austin earlier in the season already though there seems to be an air of confidence around the Rice campus. People are already

00:07:02.589 - 00:07:18.350

looking beyond the championship to the regional playoffs and a possible match in Fort Worth, March the seventh with none other than the University of Houston. What does coach Noel think about this? He says, well, uh I'm not thinking about it. I'm, uh, I'm thinking about Texas

00:07:18.359 - 00:07:33.779

and, uh, and a championship and, and what lies ahead of us if we're fortunate enough to win the championship, uh, uh will just happen. What will happen? A betting man would have to go for the Owls but a lot of bad things could happen between now

00:07:57.279 - 00:08:11.660

Senate action. Sunday told KTRU news Tuesday night that while she could understand the reason for the Senate's action, she did not feel that she was in fact ineligible to run for thresher editor the Senate based its Sunday action on the fact that Miss Kendrick is currently

00:08:11.670 - 00:08:26.839

on disciplinary probation arising from the Central Intelligence Agency interview protests earlier this year, she went on to say that her appeal to Dean Wareham to lift the probation was refused by the Dean Tuesday and that she now plans to appeal to Dean mceneny asked if she

00:08:26.850 - 00:08:41.570

would refile if the probation were lifted. She applied that she would and might refile even the probation is not lifted with the Senate apparently delaying the election of thresher editor until her case is resolved. This year's editors may be in for an extra long term of

00:09:52.229 - 00:10:07.700

first student violence on the Rice campus. This semester at 1027 a horde of frenzied KTRU secretary stormed the broadcast room and bodily forced traffic and continuity director Rob Corell to sign a list of 14 demands drawn up by a committee of seven headed by Dana Whitledge

00:10:07.780 - 00:10:22.320

and Glenna Berquist. The 14 demands entitled the Magna Carta were an expression of discontent on the part of the secretaries with their present working conditions. The primary objection on the part of the young ladies was to the high and mighty attitude of traffic and continuity director

00:10:22.330 - 00:10:36.869

Cartel Cartel who was on the air at the time, was beaten by the militant secretaries and forced to surrender his radio program long enough for the leader of the angry pac to read the demands. Cartel after some mistreatment by the secretaries signed the Magna Carta but

00:11:01.489 - 00:11:20.849

is composed of professors S A Baker, Garside Gruber Nielsen and so off with two student advisor, James Connor and Suzanne Saunders. The committee sent the following recommendations to acting President Vandever for his consideration. One, the elimination of the formal commencement addressed by an outside speaker and

00:11:20.859 - 00:11:37.150

its replacement by a brief talk by the president or acting president. Such a talk might deal with events or ideas pertinent to the objectives of Rice University. More student participation was a second idea advanced. For example, the exercises might include a presentation by the Rice Corral

00:11:37.440 - 00:11:54.780

in regard to Baccalaureate ceremonies. The committee definitely favors continuation of the policy of rotating speakers from Protestant Catholic and Jewish faith. The question of making Baccalaureate attendance optional was recognized but not debated. There was no evidence of strong support for the Yale plan among the small

00:11:54.789 - 00:12:11.190

sampling of Rice students. The Yale plan basically is an arrangement whereby the senior class would receive its degrees on math from the president and then retire to respective colleges for a more individualized presentation. The committee left the way open for further changes by saying that ample

00:12:11.200 - 00:12:30.869

discussion with students, faculty and alumni is important. Any comments on the recommendations will be welcomed by the committee. The committee expressed the hope that changes in the commencement ceremony should be gradual. This is Ben Jula Glo for KTRU news news promo from pad bomb times 64

Saturday night when the Owls meet the Red Raiders in Lubbock, Tuesday night, Rice will either take all the marbles in and there or a big question mark will be cast over the conference race win and the Owls will boost their record to 10 and two by

00:15:38.880 - 00:15:50.770

reducing tech to a seven and five mark and this would clinch a tie for the championship and just about ice down a win lose and the Owls will own a nine and three record with tech and possibly A and M at 84 marks. Then the outcome

00:15:50.780 - 00:16:03.880

of the whole race would likely hinge upon the result of the last game of the season when Rice meets the Texas Aggies in College Station. KTRU was in the dressing room after the Texas battle Saturday night and caught some reflections on the approaching tech battle. Ted

Malady was determined but cautious. They're going forward. They don't, they don't, I don't think they feel that we really beat them first of the year and they're going to be out to go. Steve Wendell was notably more confident. Steve looks for another win and the tech

00:16:16.510 - 00:16:32.960

game doesn't have him too uptight. Well, I think we can definitely tie it now. I don't think we can lose three straight the way we've been playing. So there's a good chance we can win it too. They are the pressures on them. Now, we, we won

00:16:32.969 - 00:16:44.510

our share of the game. They've got to catch up. Uh Tom Meyer was much more relaxed after the sixth straight win. We'll take it to tech when I get up there. We finish strong tonight. Get some of them going. I think we'll be ready for night

00:19:39.500 - 00:19:56.020

the impression of trying to put over a concert on us rather than playing for us except for an intriguing solo by mountains drummer. The music was no more than warmed over cream and you know what happens to cream when it warms up? It turns mighty sour.

Lubbock Tuesday night. KTRU News along with a crowd of around 25 people was on the scene and spoke briefly to a assistant coach, George Mahaffey. Mahaffey blamed the loss mainly on a lack of team work. He said the joint effort which produced the six straight wins.

00:20:34.949 - 00:20:49.969

Just wasn't there Tuesday night, neither was the shooting. The shot only 39% from the field and Gary Rice, the Owl's leading scorer was only three of 16 from the floor. Regarding Saturday's noon television tilt with TCU at Autrey court, Mahaffey said that it would be a

00:20:49.979 - 00:21:02.439

lot easier to play at home with a packed crowd of Rice supporters on hand. Should a full house be enough to spur the Owls a victory. A trip to the regional playoffs would be virtually assured provided that the Texas Aggies win their game Saturday. If the

00:21:02.449 - 00:21:15.280

race ends in a three way tie with Rice Tech and A and M, the Owls will go to the playoffs conference will say that the team with the greatest championship drought goes. Both Tech and the Aggies have won since the Owls last took home a championship.

00:21:15.729 - 00:21:31.890

A two way tie between Rice and Tech would mean a one game playoff between the two teams on March the seventh. Should the Owls lose their last two? Well, let's just not think about that. This is Paul Laina Ktru news. The story about Carolyn Kendrick's appeal

00:21:31.900 - 00:21:54.900

of disciplinary probation. F bomb February 27th, 1970 time, three minutes, 16 seconds. Carolyn Kendrick was the only candidate to file for the office of thresher editor. However, the Student Senate disqualified her candidacy because Dean of students. Frederick Warm had placed her on disciplinary probation after last

00:21:54.910 - 00:22:13.750

November's CIA protest according to a university rule, no student on probation may hold elective office. Carolyn appealed the disciplinary probation handed down by the Dean to the Committee on Undergraduate Affairs. The Dean of Undergraduate Affairs Michael mcenany told KTRU news, what action the committee took had

00:22:13.760 - 00:22:34.880

appealed this uh through the normal channels and had gone to the committee on undergraduate affairs, which is the normal appeal body in a disciplinary case. Uh The committee did meet Wednesday uh to consider that case. And uh Carolyn uh was present, she spoke to the committee

00:22:34.890 - 00:22:53.880

and responded to questions and so on. Uh They considered uh the whole matter and concluded that uh they could not sustain her appeal. Uh She, she appealed on the basis of, of an error in procedures, of course, which is uh the normal kind of appeal. One

00:22:53.890 - 00:23:13.349

of the committee members who voted on this issue, Carrie Van Del Baker College President told KTRU news about the appeal. Yeah. Well, she appealed, you know, on procedural grounds, the procedure was not properly followed. You know, according to our, our guidelines as written up in that

00:23:13.359 - 00:23:31.869

handbook of policies and regulations, it was, it was decided after a lengthy discussion and the vote was split up. My dad. It wasn't unanimous but that, that uh there weren't sufficient ground. Vandel stated that this was the first time a disciplinary action by the dean had

00:23:31.880 - 00:23:47.790

been in fact appealed to the Undergraduate Affairs Committee. This appeal then was a precedent. Vandel further explained that issues considered by the committee included the status of a student appealing a probation, the rights and duties of the dean in dealing with disciplinary matters and the right

00:23:47.800 - 00:24:03.109

of a student to a hearing. I mean, this is what the entire point revolved around, you know, about a hearing unless you were, was given a hearing. And uh, the handbook says nothing, it does not state anything about a hearing, but it refers to a hearing.

00:24:03.579 - 00:24:18.969

The Times says, you know, must show cause and the reasons why the trial or hearing was not properly conducted. You know, you know, it, it's just a big, you know, hole in the re regulations as they stand. The problem then is why the handbook of rules

00:24:18.979 - 00:24:37.000

and regulations is so vague. How can a student and his rights be better protected and proper procedures established? Vandel commented that the Student Senate must take action if the confusion is not repeated. Evidently, the Senate was asked, um, is what Lee acknowledges anyway was, was asked

00:24:37.010 - 00:24:54.800

to do a review of this part of the book last year and they didn't get around to it and they will be doing it. Now. Apparently, Carolyn will remain ineligible to run for thresher editor. As long as she remains on probation. Carolyn told KTRU News, she

00:24:54.810 - 00:25:22.579

may attempt a further appeal. Pat Baum ktru News Student Association election commentary from John Doe time. Two minutes, 30 seconds, February 27th, 1970. The Student Association Constitution specifies that any person wishing to contest an election must do so within 72 hours. It's now been 77 hours

00:25:22.589 - 00:25:39.109

and 10 minutes since the polls closed enough time has passed without contestation to virtually assure that the returns of the recent election will be validated at the Senate's meeting Monday night. It's also time enough to point out some irregularities that could have been contested and make

00:25:39.119 - 00:25:51.810

some observations about reform. S A election Chairman Rick Lowry explained a problem that arose at Baker College the last couple of years, Baker has been keeping their polls up until six o'clock in the election such as this. So more people will vote over there. They've been

00:25:51.819 - 00:26:03.569

kind of doing it, you know, without letting everybody else they do it because it doesn't say in the constitution, you know, whether they can or not. So they just wanted to and we let them always have let them this year. I wanted to and I had

00:26:03.579 - 00:26:16.489

asked him not to just so we can get a be on the ball and earlier. And uh but they announced dinner the night before that they would be open. So, uh we were worried that some people wouldn't have a chance to vote if we close it

00:26:16.500 - 00:26:27.719

at noon and, and didn't do anything else about it. So we decided to let him, we want to do something about this. We thought the only way to do this would be instead of letting them open one up at Baker to open one up the R

00:26:27.729 - 00:26:40.599

MC and replace it in case anybody like Baker wanted to vote or anybody else on campus wanted to vote. We were worried that some people wouldn't have a chance to vote. No doubt there were some candidates in the elections worried that the Baker men would have

00:26:40.609 - 00:26:54.439

an extra chance to vote. Ignoring the question of motives, the intentions of Baker are legitimate. There's no reason why the polls should not be open at both the noon and dinner hour and open in all the colleges. If the senate was really worried that some people

00:26:54.449 - 00:27:08.369

wouldn't have a chance to vote, they'd permit absentee balloting last Tuesday. The Rice Isle basketball squad was in Lubbock and it's my theory that they were so shaken when told they'd be unable to cast absentee ballots that they couldn't help but give the game away to

00:27:08.380 - 00:27:22.689

Texas Tech, why not absentee balloting and why not print enough copies of the ballot so that the polls don't run out, why not post a sample ballot before the election and before the election during the filing period. Why not post and keep current a list of

00:27:22.699 - 00:27:40.550

the candidates who have filed for office. Perhaps this would encourage more prospects to file and guarantee there would be a candidate for every post. It's now been 77 hours and 12.5 minutes since the polls closed. Reform is needed. And in my opinion, time's a wasting John

I don't know whether our fans are gonna ever see us blow anybody out or not, but we'll take a one pointer or two pointer any way we can get it. A lot of otherwise people might agree with that last statement. They might also add, we'll take

00:29:33.630 - 00:29:46.599

first thing that went off was a touchy issue about the upcoming annual firing of the cannons on March 2nd, the Texas Independence Day. It seems as if the cannons aim right down the South mall, right towards the fraternity house and the fraternity house every year, fired

00:29:46.609 - 00:30:00.160

back with its members dressed in Mexican costumes. A Latin American group thought their actions a disgrace and asked the fraternity not to participate as they have done. In past years, the fraternity decided not to reply to the demands and the firing was moved by university officials

00:30:00.609 - 00:30:14.540

to the East Mall. The second explosion was the granting by university officials of a charter to the Yippie Party after the party had changed their opening statement in their constitution. The original stated the purpose of the organization to be to turn on break out and raise

00:30:14.550 - 00:30:30.010

hell. The third explosion was for real Madison House. A co-educational dorm reported a fire in the girls section. 150 girls were urged to leave and that they did out into the drizzling night. They were joined in a few minutes by 100 or so interested bystanders, boyfriends

00:30:30.020 - 00:30:44.310

and nearby fraternity members. The crowd was very excited and cries of burnt pig and rose dog were heard every now and then. It seems that the TRG lives in the mind of most campuses. It also seems as if rice has more than a chair. Good night,

of an error in procedure that appeal was denied this week. She will submit a second appeal on the basis of new evidence. As long as Carolyn is appealing her case, she is not considered to be on disciplinary probation. Lee Horseman President of the 69 to 70

And three, the Senate urged all concerned persons to engage in open and properly conducted discussions and meetings regarding the military draft policies of this country, especially during the week of March 16th to March 22nd in the interests of

00:33:44.520 - 00:34:03.300

recently the students have gotten a hold of it. But, um iii I disagree with the decision. I disagreed last August when it was made and I think a number of students disagree with it also. But, um, I, I think it's about time to just let it

00:40:49.989 - 00:41:07.709

1970 Mr Bristol, a national organizer for the National Committee to repeal the draft, spoke to a sparse crowd in Hammond Hall. He explained that the present draft system which even general Hershey admits is not fair, should be viewed with the same skepticism that the anti ballistic

00:41:07.719 - 00:41:21.629

missile system and the war in Vietnam so often inspire conscription. He pointed out is not called for in the constitution. Although the draft system has come to be identified as one of those things in our society that is American on a personal level. Bristol pointed out

00:41:21.639 - 00:41:39.159

that the draft system utilizes involuntary servitude to get conscripts. In addition, it places military might in the forefront of American foreign policy. What can be done? The 1967 draft law expires in 1971. So if conscription is to be continued, a new law must be passed soon.

00:41:39.389 - 00:41:53.479

Bristol suggested the campaign to stop a renewal of the law now and later carry the whole issue of the draft to the people in the 1972 elections. If you don't want the draft to take your life for two years or maybe longer exercise your constitutional right

00:41:53.489 - 00:42:11.270

Conservative William Rusher speaks at Weiss College, Paul Laina, a news story times 50 seconds March 17th, 1970 Tuesday night, Weiss College presented Conservative publisher William Rusher in a lecture and panel discussion along with Bill Haymes Rice essay forum chairman, Bill Ballo Texas, Bill of Rights Foundation

00:42:34.479 - 00:42:50.439

chairman and Doctor Allen Matisse Rice, professor of history. Mr Rusher who publishes William F. Buckley junior S National Review spoke on what happened to liberalism. He claimed that liberalism, speaking of the Roosevelt brand of New Deal is, is dying. Mr Rusher proposed these descriptions of what

00:42:50.449 - 00:43:07.139

he considered an American malady. He called liberalism a one shot repudiation of the interior bases of American society, quote unquote. He said that liberalism was not much of a philosophy at all. Russia called liberalism, quote, a system of ad hoc eclectic suppressive crosside solutions to a

00:43:07.149 - 00:43:23.000

bunch of individual problems unquote. Russia's 40 minute talk was devoted mainly to pointing out those areas in which Roosevelt New Deal is, has failed. Doctor Matisse asked Mr Rusher to propose a list of conservative solutions. Russia then used words like big business, forced integration and other

00:43:23.010 - 00:43:41.439

familiar terms. Mr Ballew eloquently canted the classical New Deal, New Deal, humanitarian, civil libertarian viewpoint and accustomed as he was to fuel such counters. Russia adeptly made rhetorical hay. It was two hours of Bill Buckley, conservatism, glib fluent, forceful and to some people convincing this is

00:44:05.239 - 00:44:18.879

by the book Conservative, Mr Rusher opened his talk with a bad joke. Unfortunately, it's one of his high points of the evening. It must be said that Mr Rusher keeps an open and receptive mind at all times. Always looking for a constructive viewpoint. Such was evidenced

00:44:18.889 - 00:44:34.959

by his tributes to the bad guys. No more sinister a group than the Roosevelt New Deists. He labeled their liberal cause, quote a system of ad hoc eclectic suppressive cross eyed solutions to a bunch of individual problems unquote. Furthermore, liberalism was a quote one shot repudiation

00:44:34.969 - 00:44:49.510

of the anterior bases of American society unquote. Um Could you please repeat that last statement? Mr Rusher went on to say that the new left has never given him any trouble during a campus speech though they have often bothered liberals like Reston Fulbright and Galbraith. He

00:44:49.520 - 00:45:04.360

ventured that this might be because of the fact that most new left causes against the big government sector of the establishment coin coincide with his, this reporter lets one make their own judgment. Then as to the integrity of Russia's stance, Spiro Agnew would be ashamed at

00:45:04.370 - 00:45:20.270

such a statement. Mr Rusher is not ashamed of Spiro Agnew Rice's. Doctor Matao seemed stymied, pitted against Mr Rusher. It was not a matter of matisse's weak position. Rather the two were speaking on entirely different levels of communication. Rusher refusing Matisse's facts and figures where they

00:45:20.280 - 00:45:37.489

tended not to substantiate the conservative argument, liberal optimism. Russia summed it thusly, something's got to work in order to keep this process rolling through another election quote unquote. But he said that conservatives in the long run were optimistic. He closed by quoting from the Yeats poem,

00:45:37.500 - 00:45:43.139

the second coming conservative optimism, Paul Laka. Good Day.
