As Students Blast S iro:

Spiro Blasts Radicals By .Dour Huuer

While protesters outside chanted " Shove it up your Trunk 'n' Tusk." inside Spiro Agnew warned that " ••• those who burn banks, can bank on being burned."

Speaking at a Republican Party fund raising banquet in the TowneHouse in Phoenix, Vice President Spiro T. Agnew blasted those who promote cam­pus unrest, " outrageous court­room conduct," and street riots. Agnew called for more support for "the most dependable bond

sionate, coercive, and q>pres­sive. (The mob) represents only a dangerous threat to de­mocracy, to individual civil rights, and to progress, and it invites tyranny and oppression. Thosewho advocate revolution and those who encourage those who advocate revolution, per­ver t the ideals of our founding father s and distor t the facts. Those who s mash windows and seize univers ity buildings des­troy by their injustice whatever justice their cause ever had. And if I know the American pt>ople, those who burn banks can bank on being burned."

Breaking Housing Contract Now Possible, Says Rolle

B y Fred A berneth y

Remember the days when you bad to for ge a marr iage certi­ficate to break the housing con­tract you signed at the ~-.eginn­ing of the academic year?

How about the old trick of dropping out of school first semester and re-registering under a different name the next semester?

Of course a student could always break the contract by living with his parents.

Now students may request that the university re-let their residence hall room. This new policy started before semes­ter break and allows students a fourth provision of "just cause" for vacating a room during the academic year.

Joseph c. Rolle, dean of univers ity service , explained

that the purpose of this agree­ment is to fill the vacant room with a new student who does not have a contract with the university.

Requesting the university to re-let a room does not break the housing contract until the res­ident advisor certifies that the particular room has been oc­cupied.

"It is important that all par­ties understand that a person presently living on campus, with whom the university has a contract, does not meet the in­tent of this agreement. Nor does the moving of a stu­dent from one dorm to an­other meet the intent of this agreement," said Rolle.

Normal procedure will be used to assign the re-lets ex­plained Rolle • A student off campus who desires to move on

must first apply through the housing office. The housing oUice will refer the applica­tion to the appropr iate resi­dent advisor who will confirm the re-lets .

Dean Rolle will certify by letter if a person's contract for the spring ter m of 1970 is void, Those students who have moved off campus not in accord with the agreement wlll also be notified,

Club members and guests, who paid $75 each to hear Agnew speak, applauded often as the Vice President condemned the actions of the Chicago Seven and their lawyers for justi­fying violence and intimidating the courts with guerilla thea­ter tactics. "The rights of petition and assembly do not extend into the balls of jus­tice," he said, "although these rights are apprq>riate when lawfully exercised outside. Within the courtroom, dissent must be orderly and supported by logic. The rule there is persuasion. not intimidation."

room has not been re-let. The residence hall contract stipulates that students accept residence in a dorm through­out the full academic year . A student wishing to remain off campus after being notified that his room has not been re-let is responsible for the rent of the room.

Simple· Means Oust NAU By }olan Moore

The week-long wait is over and, as everyone had antici­pated, the Northern Arizona University basketball team will be here tonight, instead of in Alamosa, Colorado, playing in the NAIA District 7 basketball tournament.

The announcement came Sun­day that Grand Canyon College had been given and had accept­ed the second ·bid for an inde­pendent team in the playoffs. Eastern New Mexico Univer­sity bad previously been in­vited.

In the ultra-simphfied, mechanical method at .oos-ing representatives, !'' was in third place, "one po1nt" be.. hind Grand Canyon.

Eastern was on top with 19 points , 10 for having the top

Carr rat!ng and nine for hav­ing the second bes t recor d. Grand Canyon's "outstanding" 21-5 record earned them 10 points and they picked up eight points for having the third best Carr rating. NAU was second in Carr ratings for nine points and had the third best record, giving them a total ofl7 points .

We are pleased to see that the NAIA does not have to go through all of the trouble of searching for the top indepen­dent team. They find it much simpler for their people to rely on the Carr ratings, which no­body really understands, and the highly ambiguous overall record .

The NAIA decided not to take into consideratlon·thatNAU has played all of the teams in the

playoff twice and won six of those eight .

They decided not to take into considerat ion that those two losses, to Eastern and South­ern Colorado, both on the road, were by a total of six points .

Theydecided not to take into consideration that NA U defeat­ed top.seeded independent Eastern by 14 points . · They decided not to take into

consideration that NAU's six losses were to such teams as the University ofArizona, West Texas State, Cal State-LA and Pepperdine.

The only good point about the entire situation is that this will be the last year NAU has to fool with NAIA. Next year the Lumberjacks will be affil­iated with an athletic assoc~ tlon.

es, The housing policy was al­

tered because several stu­dents bad approached Dan Rol­le earlier this year request­ing they be allowed to break their contracts. After receiv­ing approval from J. Lawrence Walkup, president of NA U, Rolle and V lrgil GUlenwater, vice president, consulted the university legal adviser about the possibility of re-letting rooms. "The main objective of the re-let agreement is to pro­vide another means to help stu­dents with extenuating circum­stances," said Rolle.

Forty seven students have used this new provision and on­ly 28 bave been successful in fullftiU~ the agreement, said Rolle.

Agreement forms are avail­able 1D tbe office of tbe dean of UDiverslty service.
