Acquiescence to terror is not a good principle.

You can not assure peace by appeasement." Schurmann said, "We believe that the National Liberation Front enjoys broad popular support. We believe that a broad section of the population under Saigon's control desires a negotiated peace rather than seeing the destruction of their country. We believe that there is evidence that even some members of the Saigon government would prefer such a solution. We believe that the American political and military forces in South Viet Nam are the main advocates of a continuing war." He said the U.S. could take a substantial step toward peace by recognizing the National Liberation Front (Viet Cong) and stopping the bombing of North Viet Nam.

The longest applause that the ambassador received was in response to his comment that the citizens "have the elementary obligation to respect the right of free speech by and for all, not excluding government WASHINGTON (UPI) A la-b union dispute with the White House over who will make technical preparations for radio and television broadcasts essary for military specialists to do the work. Earlier this month the AFL-CIO National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians had threatened to boycott presidential broadcasts unless its objection to military technicians was resolved. Zelnik asked those people who could support U.S. policy in Viet Nam to stand up. There were scattered individuals, no more than 200, who rose.

Zelnick then asked those who could not support U.S. policy to rise. Virtually the entire audience rose en masse. Assistant Labor Secretary James J. Reynolds said yesterday White House officials agreed civilian radio-tv technicians should handle broadcast equipment unless security or other considerations made it nec by President Johnson has been settled.

John W. Gardner, U.S. Secretary "of HeaTffi, Education an Welfare, was honored last night as University of California Alumnus of the Year for his contributions to education and for his appointment to the position from which he will implement the Great Society programs. Gardner, who received his Ph.D in psychology from U.C. in 1938, praised higher education in California and.

said, "I am proud to be part of that tradition." The award to Gardner was the final item on a lengthy and late-starting program at San Francisco's Sheraton-Palace Hotel. Gardner, who has been traveling ever since he left Saigon a week ago, admitted to weariness when he finally reached the microphone. As an example, Gardner said, he had ordered breakfast in his room at the Fairmont and gave the room number ot his hotel in Oregon. Gardner has been a member of the U.S. Cabinet since last August.

Much of the program was devoted to ecomiums for Roger W. Heyns, who was formally installed as Berkeley chancellor earlier in the day and who was making his first appearance at a Charter Day observance. Among those praising Heyns were Dr. Harlan Hatcher, president of the University of Michigan; Dr. Clark Kerr, president of U.C; and Jerry Goldstein, president of the Associated Students oi U.C.

Heyns in turn praised Kerr and the regents for giving him a free hand to deal with the school's years ago, the U. S. ambassador to the U. N. told the 10,000 in the audience, at the start of his speech.

The cards were almost solid in the center, as at a football game, but these carried slogans, such as "Get out of Viet Nam." Their holders gave their first pugnacious cheer when two young professors at the end of the faculty parade carried similar signs. U.C. President Clark Ken-termed the card section placards "instant feedback." "This is the Greek Theater," said-Chancellor Roger Heyns hr an aside to Goldberg. "And we've brought along our own Greek Chorus." When the ambassador received his honorary degree, most of the card holders filed, out, some with raucous remarks. But, except for the estimated 700 to 1,000 who departed in protest over the Viet Nam war, the rest of the audience and almost JOHN W.

GARDNER problems and expressed admiration for the students' "quality and dedication." The first Elise and Walter A. Haas international award was made to Abdul Majid, Afghanistan's ambassador to the U.S., for "distinguished contribution to his own nation and the international community." Dr. Majid was at U.C. from 1934 to 1940 during which he received his B.A and a Ph.D. in bacteriology.

Two Afghanistan students attending U.C. were guests at the banquet. Greetings were extended by Mrs. Edmund G. Brown, a 1928 grad, acting in the Governor's stead.

Gov. Edmund Brown was the first to shout into the microphone that "truth and knowledge can be sustained only where law and order prevail." But he also spoke of the "right of free people to differ on Issues and with government." And the universities, he added, "often have been and will be the last defense against censors that shall challenge the right to differ." Kerr took off against legislative proposals to start charging tuition. Instead of closing doors "we should be opening them wider; instead of concentrating on the rising costs of higher education we should concentrate on the benefits from it that rise even faster that is the way to assure progress Heyns zeroed in on professors. He said dogmatic and overly-critical teachers interfere with learning, and turn out students in the same mold. MODELS FOR STUDENTS Professors are models for their students, he said, and they should keep this in mind.

The goals of education said Heyns, now shouldn't be techniques, which change constantly, but such things as mental toughness, curiosity, flexibility, objectivity, imagination, resourcefulness, independence and a sense of responsibility. By the time Goldberg rose to speak, it was late in the day and most of the protesters had left for the Harmon Gym where PRICE TO SQUARE YARD Muimum Price for our Heevtat first quality pe I will b.

Oakland's welcome to the "refugee" banner refused by San Francisco, birthplace of Its charter brought a message in person yesterday from U.N. ambassador Arthur Goldberg and telegraphed congratulations from President Johnson. It also brought a blast at op-; ponents of the Port of Oakland's acceptance of It from Commission President Joseph W. Chau-det. Goldberg recognized the pro-, tests against the world organization flag by saying "opposi- tion is indigenous to American i Society." "We raise this flag in sup-j port, confidence and determination to carry out what every American wants, based on the; principles of freedom and liberty for people everywhere," he said.

Goldberg and his wife de-toured to Jack London Square for the ceremony before attending the University of California! Charter Day. Chaudet said the board's decision brought opponents who were "loud, long and wrong" but that it spurred a letter-j writing campaign that ran more than four to one on support of I the board Noting that Oakland is world port, he said, "We feel U.N. flag will serve as a welcoming banner Of the opposition Chaudet said, "I personally resent this; exclusive claim on America by these self-appointed patrons of patriotism.
