"It's confused because I'm confused because the situation is confused," Assoc! ate Prof. Gerald S. Maryanov said of the place democracy holds in the minds and lives of Indonesians. Maryanov, a former Univer-sity of Iowa faculty member who has lived in Indonesia, addressed a seminar on "Teaching About Democracy and Totalitarianism" on Friday in the Memorial Union. He is now with the political science department of Northern Illinois University.

The program was sponsored by the North Central Association foreign relations project. Maryanov said that the historical factors bearing on In the cultural tradition of the villages, the heritage of the Netherlands Indies government, the devotion to western democratic ideals expressed by Indonesian leaders after Independence was declared ii 1945, and the catastrophically unsuccessful coup attempt In 1965 by a Communist faction which was believed to influence 15 million Indonesians. He is uncertain how well organized the Communists actually were, and also about what has happened to those who were not among the 500,000 people slaughtered after the coup failed, he said. The present state of Indonesia is unstable, he said, and is oriented to con- Two additional water mains, one to each side of the campus, and additional fire hydrants are planned for the university water distribution system, and the about the brotherhood of man (90 per cent of Indonesians are Muslim); and (3) the collectiv-lst culture of the Indonesian villages. Maryanov said that the village culture relies upon mutual help, consultation, and action according to a unanimous "sense of the meeting." But trouble lies in trying to apply this village theory to cities where people do not share aspirations, educational level, and proximity, he said, and only mili- steam distribution work in eludes new lines from the Power Plant to areas north and west of the plant.

1 The university plans to Invest some $2.4 million in utilities improvements as a result of the capital Improvements approprt Scholarships in music, American history and painting will be established under a trust fund set up at the University of Iowa by a former Iowa City woman known for her ability to paint. Securities valued at some $30,000 have been put in trust with UI officials by Mildred Pel-zer Lynch of Orlando, Fla. Mrs. Lynch will have the income of the securities for life, and then the income will be used for scholarships in the areas specified. Mrs.

Lynch, whose first husband, Louis Pelzer was a professor of history at UI for many years, has been a prolific painter over nearly four decades. More than 400 of her works, including many paintings of prairie flowers, were purchased by Iowans. Aii exhibition of her recent paintings was held on the Iowa campus in 1966 while the artist was attending summer school here and visiting relatives, of her late husband, Gen. George A. Lynch, in Cedar Rapids.

Many murals she painted in the 1930s still are displayed in Iowa. She received commissions to paint eight murals for the former Hotel Jefferson, depicting early Iowa scenes, a single large mural titled "Symphony of Iowa" for the Press-Citizen, and a post office mural at Wav-erly. Also in this period she designed and published historical maps for Dubuque and Burlington, and one of the state. Mrs. Lynch and her first husband had two sons.

Both sons were killed in World War II, and Prof. Pelzer died in 1946. She was married to Gen. Lynch in 1950. He died five years ago.

ation made by the 62nd General Assembly of Iowa. The work tary coercion can make the theory work nationally. Slogans play an important part in Indonesian government, he said, and the words are often mistaken for reality. Former President Sukarno's basic five points for the new nation were belief in one God, na tionalism, inter nationalism, democracy and social justice. Even the Communists endorsed this platform without reservation on the religious issue, said Maryanov.

Two contradictions exist In western thought about Indonesia, he said: the country is not modernizing; it Is modernized. And it is not approaching or going away from westernization, it is already Indonesian. He suggested that the Increasing numbers of demonstra. tions in the U. S.

represent "a process of easternization" in the expression of political beliefs. Prof. Lawrence E. Gelfand of the UI history department addressed the group on "Competing Values in an Ameri can Pluralistic Society." He said it is hard to understand why the many anti-democratic movements in American history have been so unsuccessful over long terms, in spite of short periods of flowering. He cited the Ku Klux Klan, International Workers of the World, German-American Bund, American Protective Association, and the Know-Nothing Movement.

One reason may be that these organizations faded into the background before they could be exploited by extremists, Gelfand said. He hinted that anti-democratic oups may survive longer in the future. on which contracts were awarded today is part of the 21 More Are Found Guilty In Anti-War Protests Here total. $1.5 million have been awarded for improvements to the steam, water and electrical systems on the University of Iowa campus and for new library facilities in the College of Engineering. The contracts were awarded by the State Board of Regents, meeting on the lowa State University campus.

The utilities work represents a major step toward keeping up with demand for heat, lights and water on the growing UI campus. Successful bidders for the utilities improvements and the amount of the contracts are: Combustion Engineering, Saginaw, $248,245, steam boiler; Walling Omaha, $10,780, boiler feed pumps; O'Brien Electrical Contractors, Iowa City, $507,558, electrical distribution; AAA Mechanical Contractors, Iowa City, $69,571, water distribution; C. A. Hooper Madison, $5 39,950, steam distribution. The work includes purchase of a per hour steam generator and the boiler feed pumps.

Other steam generating work, such as construction to prepare for the boiler and the purchase of controls and fuel-oil tanks, will be contracted later. Installation of the new boiler will relieve the load on four, 40-year-old boilers which must remain in use even with the new boiler. The electrical work includes Installation of two 13,200 -volt feeder lines, one to serve the west campus and the other to Contracts for renovation 1 the Engineering Building went to Duniap and sons, $87,600 general construction; Universal Climate Control, $66,320, Twenty-one more persons charged with disturbing the peace in connection witn anti war demonstrations here 10 mechanical work, and O'Brien Electrical Contractors, $24,348, electrical.

Curriculum Lab To Get New Space AMES In order to provide more room for the Education-Psychology library at the Uni-versity of Iowa, a relocatable structure will be built near East Hall to house the College of Education's curriculum laboratory, a move which will free space in East Hall for the library. The State Board of Regents meeting at Ames approved UI's proposal to purchase a foot building to be set up at the northeast corner of East Hall, which houses both the library and the curriculum laboratory.

Cost of the project is estimated at $30,700, to come from the capital improvements appropriation made by the 1967 Iowa legislature. In another action, the regents approved a $57,000 program to improve the electrical system in the north section of the Medical Laboratories building. These funds will come from the legislative appropriation also. The structure to be purchased is made up of four standard sections 10 feet wide and 60 feet long put together to form a single room which can be arranged internally as needed. The structure can be relocated in about a day's time if desired.

Two metal buildings set up just after World War II will be removed to make way for the new structure. More transformer capacity to serve existing and future electrical loads in the north section of the Medical Laboratories will be provided in the improvement project there. It will also take some load off transformers in other parts of the building so that more load growth in those areas can be accommodated. Architectural and engineering services on the relocatable structure and the electrical improvements will be provided by Junior High Counselors To Convene A conference for Junior high school guidance counselors, the first of its kind to be held in Iowa, will take place at the University of Iowa Memorial Union Monday. Junior high counselors, teachers and principals are expected to attend.

The cost of gas and electricity (per kwh, therm, or eef) has stayed remarkably low and for some very good, solid reasons. Greater use of gas and electricity in the home, on the farm, in industry, and in business has been a major factor in holding down tne cost per unit used.

The vast networks of interconnected electric systems larger generating units improved, more efficient facilities and techniques constant research and development have also contributed substantially to this accomplishment.
