broken down into a series of recommendations and petitions to various segments ot society as well as the President: government: strongly urge public officials at all levels of government to recognize that their public statements can either heal or divide We urge public officials to reject demands that entire universities be punished because of the ideas or excesses of some member We urge prompt enactmen of strict controls over the sale transfer and possession of explosive materials" law enforcement frequently local police forces have been undermanned improperly equipped poorly trained and unprepared for campus disturbances We therefore urge police forces especially those in smaller communities to improve their capacity to respond to civil disorders" the National Guard urge that it have sufficient tactical capability and non-le-thal weaponry so that it will use deadly force only as the absolute last resort Sending civil authorities on to a college campus armed as if for armed only to has brought tragedy in the past If this practice is not changed tragedy will come the university university should promulgate a code making clear the limits of permissible conduct and announce in advance what measu re it is willing to employ in response to impermissible conduct Faculty members who engage in or lead disruptive conduct have no place in the university the students "They must recognize that they are citizens of a nation which was founded on tolerance and diversity and they must become more understanding of those with whom they differ Stu- Two Are Charged With Shoplifting

judgment on individuals in this administration" Scranton declined to point specifically at Agnew but said certainly not helpful for the vice president or anybody to make some of the comments made earlier this The report states only a small minority of students faculty members and agitators are bent on destruction of universities Nixon has not read the report Scranton said the President pjans to read it and confer with him after the presidential trip to Europe which begins Sunday A presidential aide said that when Scranton submitted the report Nixon told him can assure you that your report will be controversial I want to say worry about that Worry if 1 not controversial We want a bunch of intellectual eunuchs around here The report urges swift removal from campuses and vigorous prosecution of perpetrators of violence At the same time the com mission accused some author! ties of abuse of power many law enforcement officers have responded with unwarranted harshness and force in seeking to control disorder and of government at $11 levels have contributed to campus unrest The words of some political leaders have helped to inflame it enforcement officers have too often reacted ineptly or overreacted At times their response has degenerated into un controlled The report came under attack even before it was made public with some Republicans declaring the commission is packed with liberals who would try to whitewash the true picture of campus violence ami excuse permissive college administra tors However the commission decries a weakening of disciplinary systems with the universi-ties mapy universities the commission says -encounter little formal deter fence because university administrators and faculties have often failed to punish illegal acts I The commission noted a study by the American Council on Ed--ucation which found that faculty members were involved in the -planning of over half the student protests which occurred- It iadds: relative freedom of stu 'dents to act without fear of -immediate serious conse quences is reinforced by the partial survival of the custom of treating students as adolescents who may be forgiven their er The commission reports Continued from page 1 manager form of Lockery said he and the opponents to the present government in Bowling Green will work on the election of commissioners in 1971 and elect commissioners who will allow the citizens to vote At the high court hearing Friday were County Attorney Henry Potter representing county defendants named in a Warren Circuit Court civil action involving the referendum City Solicitor Whayne Priest representing plaintiffs in the suit and Leland Logan who was to assist Potter Logan was the attorney requested by Lockery to draw up the wording on the petitions calling for the referendum During the arguments Potter presented the facts of the case and appeal Logan presented arguments for the petitioners and Priest argued for the City It was the City of Bowling Green and Commissioners Glen Lange Charles Wilson Spero Kereiakes and Hank Broche who filed the Circuit Court action Named defendants were County Judge Basil Griffin County Clerk Charles Morehead Sheriff Hubert Phelps and the County Board of Election Commissioners The suit was filed after Griffin ordered the referendum be placed on the November ballot when petitions containing 2711 signatures of registered voters were presented to him After the filing of the suit Warren Circuit Judge Robert Coleman Divsion I ruled the referendum be held in November and said the governmental form must be in effect four years before a vote to terminate it can be held When the high court Friday said the vote be held in November they upheld ruling During the arguments Friday Priest told the high court the governmental form should be given a chance and the Kentucky Statute in his and the circuit interpretation allowed the governmental form four years before a vote could be taken to terminate it Logan argued to the high court the people could vote on the ousting of the government before the four years expired but that it be terminated until January 1972 four years after its start in Bowling Green Potter told the court the facts and listed the commission-manager form of government in Bowling Green starting in January 1968 after it was voted for in 1966 Potter also told the court about the petitions the civil suit and ruling When the three attorneys concluded their arguments they American society as a whole as well as campuses has been divided by issues of war and peace It recommends that Nixon take a lead in explaining to the American people the underlying causes of campus unrest To this end nothing is more important than an end to the war in Indochina the report says The commission says disaffected students see the war as a symbol of moral crisis in a nation which by its actions is depriving even law erf its legitima cy in the eyes of students Much of the nation is so polarized that on many campuses a major domestic conflict or an unpopular initiative in foreign policy could trigger further violent protest and in its wake counterviolence and While the commissioners sought to find underlying causes for violence they are strong in condemning its use for political ends who bomb and burn are criminals" the commission told the President and National Guardsmen who needlessly shoot or as sault students are crininals those who applaud these criminal acts share in their evil We must declare a national cease-fire If our society is to survive criminal acts by students must be treated as such wherever they occur and whatever their purpose" The commission reports it found ominous evidence that students are laying in supplies of weapons and others are preparing to take the law into their own hands against protesters and minorities they dislike It warns that violence must aid because no nation will tolerate violence for long without repression and offers gnm proof that repression once started is almost impossible to During its three-month-long investigation the commission heard testimony from some 90 witnesses including university presidents police chiefs governors businessmen senators civic leaders newsmen bankers students and radicals The commissioners says campus protest focuses on three major questions: war racial injustice and the university itself In recommending that Nixon call a series of national meetings designed to foster understanding among those now divided the commission says: urge the President to renew the national commitment to full social justice and to be aware of increasing charges of repression We recommend that he take steps to see to it that the words and deeds of government do not encourage belief in
