Duringthis “China Year,” the Center hasstudent leaders who wrote toPresident Johnson last monthprotesting the war in Vietnam an¬nounced yesterday afternoon thatthey had received a reply fromSecretary of State Dean Rusk.Thanking Rusk for his “courteousreply,” the students stated that “. . . ■we cannot state too forcefully ourconviction that any long range wid- !cning of the war risks domestic re- jsponses that could embarass thegovernment.“Because we are disturbed bythe prospects of wide-spread non¬cooperation at home,” the state- jment continued, “we are convincedthat steps to end the war are essen-1tial and that the government musttake steps to demonstrate its goodfaith in negotiating a settlement.” jThe committee also announcedthat 100 new signatures have beenadded to the original letter. Theletter, signed initially by 200 stu¬dent body presidents and collegenewspaper editors, protested Amer¬ican bombings in Vietnam.Today, forty representatives ofthe signers, including this reporter,will meet with Rusk in the StateDepartment building to discuss theVietnam situation.Students still holding Ma¬roon General EducationQuestionnaires should com¬plete them and return themtoday, or Wednesday morn¬ing at latest, either to theirsection instructors or to DeanBooth's office.

Asia, problems of negotiating withChina, and Chinese law.The center has already publisheda series of monographs from themonthly meetings. Similarly, majorpapers and transcripts from theproceedings of the current confer¬ence will be published later in bookform.Among the participants in theconference are UC Professor ofHistory Ping-ti Ho and Professor ofPolitical Science Tang Tsou, bothfellows of the Center, who helpedplan the conference.The Center for Policy Study wasbegun in February, 1966, by 29 fac¬ulty members to discuss major is¬sues affecting the country. CharlesU. Daly, vice-president for publicaffairs, is its director.Other Events RescheduledRuml Colloquium Reset for FridayThe Beardsley Ruml Col¬loquium on “the Vietnam Pro¬blem,” snowed out last week¬end, has been rescheduled forFriday and Saturday, February 3and 4.The dinner, originally scheduledfor last Friday, will now be held onFebruary 3 at 6 pm. All studentsand faculty members holding reser¬vations have been asked to recon¬firm them by calling Ex 2941 or4712.The Colloquium will feature a de¬bate between UC Professor of Po¬litical Science Hans J. Morgenthau and Charles Wolf, a Rand Corpora¬tion economist.Also speaking at the Colloquiumwill be Jacques Decornoy, a repor¬ter for the French newspaper LeMonde. Decornoy has spent nineweeks in South Vietnam in the lastyear.Another speaker with first-handexperience is Sanford Gottlieb, Po¬litical Action Director of S.A.N.E.who has had personal contact withNational Liberation Front repre¬sentatives in Paris and Algiers.The Colloquium will also featurepapers on the war delivered byGeoffrey C. Hazard of UC Law School and Tom Hayden of theNewark Community Union project,and panel discussions on “Domes¬tic Consequences of the Vietnamwar” and “Ethical Implications forIndividuals and Institutions.”Other campus events which werecancelled because of the weatherinclude:• The opera Euridice, which willbe presented on Sunday.

Eidson, chief ofcampus security police. “Our regu¬lar work was tremendously curtail¬ed,” he continued. “All but oneof our cars was immobilized. Onlyabout one third of the force wasworking—about twenty fellows. Therest were snowbound.”Members of the force workedcontinually over the weekend, ac¬cording to Eidson, sleeping only in¬termittently on beds donated by thesleep laboratory and in dormitorylounges. Residence Halls and Com¬mons and the Quadrangle Club pro¬vided food.The force eliminated all specialguarding, Eidson stated, and con¬centrated on traffic problems andemergency situations.No LootingThere were no reports of lootingon ,the campus during the snowemergency, although a student atInternational House was stabbedduring the storm. She was trans¬ported to Billings Hospital by citypolice, and is expected-tn .recover.Most normal University functionswere either cancelled or sharplycurtailed during the snow emergen¬cy. The University announced earlyFriday that all classes were can¬celled for the day. The closing wasnot unprecedented, but is extreme¬ly unusual.“I can’t remember theUniversity closing in the thirtyyears I’ve been here,” observedDean of Students Warner A. Wick.Because of communications prob¬lems, however, many students andprofessors remained unaware ofthe decision, and a number ofclasses were held, although atten¬dance was light.OTHER UNIVERSITY activitiescontinued on an emergency basiswith sharply curtailed staffs. OnFriday, Wick issued an appealthrough the Dormitory system forvolunteers to help continue opera¬tions at the UC Medical Center.Some 125 students responded, andthey were put to work feeding pa¬tients, shoveling snow, and doinglaundry.The situation was complicated bythe cave-in of the roof at SunshineLaundry, the firm which does laun¬dry for all UC dormitories as wellas the hospital. During the snowemergency, the Hospital used itsown laundry facilities. SunshineLaundry has made arrangementswith other firms to handle the restof the University’s business untilits plant is repaired.Throughout the crisis, the hospi¬tal was seriously understaffeddespite the utilization of volunteers.Employees worked continuousshifts, and many performed unex¬pected tasks. Secretaries, for ex¬ample, spent one night feedingbabies at the maternity ward.Amateur OperatorsOther UC services also continuedthrough the emergency utilizingvolunteer help. The Universityswitchboard was run for most of(Continued on Page Three)ckmcnrt# UnitChicago Maroon75th Anniversary YearCnow NewsIs Good NewsSince last Thursday, Chicago has been like something out ofAlas Babylon.Food stores are out of perishable goods, hospitals isolated,and cars stand in many places as if still in the rush hour—except that now they are abandoned.FOR STUDENTS it was a novel and fun experience—at leastfor a while. Romping in the snow, walking in the desertedstreets, and getting a break from classes was a welcome changeof pace. As one became inconvenienced by the lack of transpor¬tation and tired of canned foods, however, the novelty began towear off a bit. All the business about people being drawncloser together by the emergency began to sound holloa asscheduled events were cancelled, mail wasn’t delivered, andnewspapers became a scarcity.The Chicago daily newspapers weren’t the only newspapersvirtually grounded by the “blizzard of ‘67.” The Maroon founditself marooned Friday and even today operations are a longway from normal. Since publishing is the first and most impor¬tant task of a newspaper, the Maroon will continue to brave thesnow and slush in the interests of high quality journalism.SO IF THE PAPER is a little thinner than usual and isn'twaiting at its customary spot when you leave for campusremember that the same professionalism remains, only inreduced form, and will return to normal very shortly—pro¬vided Chicago isn’t blitzed again. The Stormby Leanne StarNine months after the black¬out hit the East coast, NewYork City hospitals reported anincrease in the birth rate thatcould not be ignored.If human nature has any con¬sistency, sociologists might rea¬sonably predict a similar phe¬nomenon for the Chicago area,as a result of the recent snow¬fall, sometime in late October ofthis year. And, if children followeducational patterns similar tothose of today, UC is due for anenormous increase in enrollmentin the fall quarter of ?85.NATURALLY, WITH this ex¬pected increase in enrollment,the University can justifiablycall for an increase in tuition.And the tuition hike could veryappropriately be $10 for everyinch of snow.Oddly enough, the recently an¬nounced tuition increase is di¬rectly proportional to theamount of snow we are now ex¬periencing, in just the ratiomentioned above. This couldsuggest to the suspicious studentthat the downy mattress cover¬ing campus is another Adminis¬tration plot. In the idiom: Wehave been given a snow job.Since it has been clearly es¬tablished that there is a direct Weather Analysis—Communist Pfot?correlation between presentweather conditions and a sinis¬ter desire on the part of a few tomultiply the financial woes ofstudents, action must be takenimmediately.FIRST, AN organization (withits own monogram) must beformed. A suggested title mightbe SDS—Students against theDemon Snow. Second, a petitionmust be circulated on behalf ofoppressed students. Third, somesort of demonstration would beadvised, such as the construc¬tion of snow gargoyles in frontof the Ad Building or maybe ananti-tuition-ri.se hike.
