Paul Simon

To Head SSU

Journalism Program By John C. Scattergood

(SSU) L t . Governor Paul Simon will be ap- pointed director of the proposed Sangamon State University program i n public a f f a i r s reporting. SPECTRUM learned Friday that Simon ' s appointment w i 11 be announced' to- day ( Tuesday) by the university.

'A4so to be announced to-day is the apo poi ntment of Chicago business executive James C. Worthy. A former member of the I l l i n o i s Board of Higher Education, Worthy a lso helped to author the documents cre- ating SSU. His .daughter is married to

Board of Regents Cbarirman J . - Robert Barr. Neither man holds a formal degree.

Worthy is to "devote" himself to SSU's management programs i n business, education and government by teaching i n those areas according to the announcement.

Simon and.Worthyls appointments will be presented to Sangamon State s governing board of Regents when they meet May 18th.

University Relations of f icer Chris Vlah- oplus, asked about Worthy's relationship to the Regent's chairman by SPECTRUM s t a t e house correspondent Ira Teinowitz, said, "why should that preclude a man for appoi- ntment?"

"We're trying to b r i n g i n a l i t t l e exper- ience," sa+d Ulahoplus. "The man has been around for a he1 1 of a long time."

The relationship between Worthy and Barr was noted i n the conicluding paragraph o f the annbuncement.

Simon told SPECTRUM l a s t n i g h t t ha t h e will be receiving about $27,000 a year bu t t h a t "most offers elsewhere were mee i n - vit ing" as f a r as finances were concerned.

How will he and the university approach the reporting program? "Basically, t h e general thrust will not be a l o t 'of detai l - ed technique" such as memorizing head1 ine

(CITY)- "They won't have the r i g h t t o up- hold f a i r housing ordinances."

"Doctors won't have t o repor t b i r t h s and deaths. "

"Almost a l l o f Chicago's ordinances would have t o be junked."

Though 1 egis1 ators were r e c i t i n g com- p l a i n t s o f c i t y o f f i c i a l s , the l icens ing b i l l which Gov. Richard B. Og i l v ie signed i n t o law 2 weeks ago i s probably as con- fusing t o them and t o the people as i t i s t o the c i t y o f f i c i a l s . The b i l l does not go i n t o e f f e c t u n t i l Oct. 1.

Designed t o prevent s i tua t ions l i k e t h a t i n Harvey, where the c i t y established a $1,000 l icense fee f o r rea l estate brokers i n order t o prevent panic peddling of pro- perty, the b i l l was the subject o f a f i l i - buster i n the State Senate i n November and f i n a l l y passed l a s t week on a 34 t o 20 uote.

Proponents po in t out t ha t i t w i l l pre- vent each c i t y w i t h home rule(over 25,000 population) f r m e n a c t i n g d i f f e r e n t re- quirements f o r 1 icensing o f professionals. The b i 11, passed the Senate a f t e r hundreds o f accountants, nurses, insurance agents and rea l es ta te brokers came t o the capi- t o l t o lobby f o r it.

But opponents say i t went far beyond t h a t and removed a1 1 powers f o r the c i t y t o regulate the professions--powers which a re necessary f o r f a i r housing, fo r pub- 1 i c heal th and f o r comnuni ty betterment.

But t h a t pre-exemption takes a three f i f t h s vote o f both houses o f the leg is la tu re i f the s ta te does not exerdise s im i l a r powers.

The l icans ing b i l l was passed by a ma- j o r i t y vote. -

It i s a gamble, one which i f e f f ec t i ve w i l l both br ing home the prisoners o f war and re tu rn Nixon t o the white house--If i t works. I t could a lso cause World War 111.

Nixon's terms by which he would c a l l o f f the blocade, namely in ternat iona l control and the re tu rn o f a l l Pew's, a lso g ive some support t o t h i s theory. The primary issue connected w i t h the war i s the re tu rn o f the prisoners, espec ia l ly i n the U.S.; and In ternat iona l de l i ve ra t ion o f the pro- blem o f the Vietnamese c i v i l war would be both an. honorable and aworkable so lu t ion t o the problem, especial ly , t h a t o f the U.S.

A NEW BBEBD OF SUPEBMAN?

I Dear Sir :

-

I have Just read your ed l t o r l a l I n the Spectrum concarnlng HB 1815. which w u l d allow 18 year olds t o dr lnk wlne, beer, and malt beverages. I feel that a few camnents are I n order.

It i s t r u l y amazing that so many people, includlng you, s i r , are so hlghly concerned over the r i gh t o f a few people t o have a glass of beer when there are M many more important r l gh t s being withheld fran your younger cl t lzens here I n Illinois. I refer t o the r l gh t t o hold publ lc office, the r lgh t to slgn contracts, and the r igh t t o own property. The issue I s not one o f the r i gh t t o dr lnk but one of thC age o f maJority. Your ed i t o r i a l stressed the Sv%ges of rnaJority with no mention o f the responslbl l i t les of c i t lzenshlp. Vhlle I w u l d not deny any c l t l zen h i s prlvlleges. I w u l d hope that each w u l d accept h is responslbl l i t les. (And, i n fact, the r i gh t t o slgn contracts I s both a pr lv l lege and a rerponslbl l I ty ! )

Some three months ago I was w r k i n g as a Leglslat lve Intern wlth(he Georgia House o f Representatlves when that body passed a b l l l t o lower the age o f maJorlty t o 18. That group o f Southern Ladles and Gentlemen, tmny of than from rura l backgrounds and Southern Baptist harltage, decided to put aside the i r personal opinions on "the demon rum" and l e t each adult I n Georgla decide for h l m e l f on questions of sobriety. But more Importantly. they declded t o l e t these 18 t o 20 year olds also decide for themselves on other matters as wel l . Although several of the more conservative of the members rose t o say that they wlshed they could "protect the young people" from the i l I s of society such as I w n s h r k s and som highly suspect car and vacation-land deve lown t salesmn, these leglslators went on t o say that they reallzed they couldn't protect the young forever. Sone f e l t that an 18 year o l d hasn't the experience or responsibl l l t t o s l f l a contract. They were answered by those who f e l t that even a 21 year o ld hasn't the experience u n t i l he I s a l l w e d to do so.

Of course there are 18, 21, and even 55 year olds who are irresponsible, and there w i l l always be those who are. But should t he i r l r respons ib l l l t y be paid for by others who are able t o accept the i r r i gh t s and duties?

McGo vern 's Dilemma

by James Reston (C) 1972 New York Times News Service

(WASHINGTON)- There has usual l y been a d i f - ference i n American p o l i t i c s between the strategy f o r winning the primaries and the strategy for winning the Presidency, ahd George McGovern i s rap id ly . reaching the po in t where he w i l l have t o choose between the two. •

He has come t o the f o re i n the Democra- t i c primary e lect ions by being p l a i n and def in i te, and at tacking the things t ha t are t roub l ing a great many people: the war, the tax structure, unemployment, high prices, poor housing, and the staggering cost of m i l i t a r y defense and overseas comni tments .

I n the process, he has defied many o f the assumptions o f American po l i t i c s : t h a t handsome candidates w i t h thea t r i ca l TV per- sona l i t i es are the men for t h i s cosmdtic age; t h a t moderate programs capture the vast ma jo r i t y of voters i n the center;that powerful we1 1 -organized forces, 1 i ke the so;called "labor Vote" or "Catholic vote1' o r %lack vote" are essential t o v ic tory .

John Lindsay, the Lochinvar o f the l a t e n ight shows, and Ed Muskie, the Catholic w i th the most organized middle-of-the-road support, have dropped out, and now McGov- ern i s l e f t t o f i g h t i t out against George

Aallace on the r i 'ght and Hubert Humphrey, who i s s t i l l c l i ng ing desperately t o what Arthur Schlesinger, who has now l e f t him, o r i g i n a l l y ca l led "the v i t a l center."

I n t h i s column the other day,. I said t h a t Senator McGovern had supported the lega l i za t ion o f marijuana, abortion, and amnesty f o r the Vietnam r e s i sters. P ier re Sal tnger, the former Kennedy-Johnson White House press secretary, who i s now working f o r McGovern, has since ca l led to* say the Senator i s f o r amnesty, but not f o r l ega l i z ing pot, and not f o r Federal laws lega l i z ing abortion. Instead, the abort ion question, i n McGovern's view, should be l e f t t o pa t ien t and doctor, and presumably t o the widely d i fderent s ta te laws. So i t i s important, on such contro- ve rs ia l issues. t o set the Mcflovern record s t ra ight .

S t i l l . the question ?mains and i t i s the main question even a f t e r Humphrey's close v ic to r ies i n the Ohio and Indiana primaries: I s h i s obvious s incer i ty , b lun t candor and rad ica l populism good enough f o r the p lay-of fs against President Nixon, i.n November,. o r only e f f ec t i ve

i n the prel iminar ies and i n the Democrati convention, where the young, the a c t i v i s t women and. the blacks w i l l be more power- fu l than ever before?

Obviously, t h i s i s not the main question on McGovern's mind now. He says the main th ing i s t o defeat Nixon, but h i s immed- i a t e problem i s t o defeat Humphrey and win the nomination. But the fur ther he gets our f ront , the more h i s par ty and the country have t o look a t h i s programs and a t the campaign beyond the conventions, and i t i s here t ha t the strategy f o r the primaries and the strategy f o r defeating Nixon tome i n t o question, i f no t i n t o con- f l i c t .

McGovern i s f o r a major r ed i s t r i bu t i on o f the nat ion's wealth and a major reduc- t i o n i n the nat ion's defense budget. He s a y s h e w o u l d t a k e a b o u t $ 4 3 b i l l i o n a ear from taxpayers making, more than '$lu , M Q ~ r nd g ive i t t o those making

Bar-B-Que sauce

by Russell Baker (C), 1972 New York Times News Service

(WASHINGTON)- John Connally had a b ig bar- becue a t h i s Texas ranch the other day.The President came. So d i d a number of guests --"powerful Texans," The New York Times ca l led them; t h e kind of people who f l y around i n p r i va te je ts , according t o The Washington Post,

The President spoke. He was hawkish* on the war, resolute against ,"permissiveness," outspoken against people who want "some- th ing for nothing," hos t i l e t o busing, un- enthusiastic about welfare and people who won't take menial jobs, and sympathetic t o greater Federal support for the O i l indus- t r y . He was applauded enthusiast ical ly.

The news ~ e p o r t s suggest tha t i t was the most enthusiast ic recept ion Nixon has re - ceived i n months, but the newsmen who say so were obviously not present a t the b ig barbecue B i l l Buskindorp held i n our block a few days Hefore the Connel l y party.

Some 30 people showed up a t B i l l Is. The kind of people who are i n f l u e n t i a l i n our block. People who d r i ve t h e i r own s ta t i on wagons, people who work hard a t well-paid point less whi te-col lar jobs and keep a gun under the mattress.

He apologized f o r Mrs. Nixon's not hav- ing her ha i r up i n pink curlers, but sa id t h a t they had decided on sucb shor t no- t i c e t o drop i n on B i l l ' s barbecue t h a t - there hadn't been enough time for the f i r s t lady t o get appropr iately disheveled.

As the host, B i l l Buskindorp suggested , t ha t the President address us b r i e f l y a-

bout what he stood f o r and what he was against and, then, take a few - questions from the guests. The President agree. He imnediately won enthusiast ic applause by s ta t ing t ha t he strongly favored the ap- p l i c a t i o n of e i the r mustard o r ketchup t o hamburgers.

He had been part icularJy pleased,he went on, t o observe t h a t none o f us, as he look- ed o u t over us a t t ha t moment, was eating a hamburger t ha t had been treated w i th both mustard and ketchup. Mustard alone was f ine, he said; ketchup alone ws fine. But mustard -and Ketchup were the weak com- promise o f the i n t e l l e c t u a l l y enfeebled.

A t a time when Americans must be deci- s i ve as never before, we could not t o l e r - a te those who wishily-washily wavered be- tween mustard and ketchup u n t i l t h e i r ham; burgers had been covered w i t h a disgusting blend of the two. he declared.

When the President went on t o denounce a l l those who d i d not work as hard as we, and a l l those who were not as well-paid, and a l l those who jobs were not as point- less, we shouted our approval.

The President said he would answer ques- t ions. Steve Witcomb began by saying t ha t most o f us were bored w i t h the war and asked what the President's pos i t i on en i t was. The President said tha t none of us was more bored w i t h the war than he was. As we applauded, he spoke gravely o f the awful burden o f boredom tha t the o f f i c e o f the President had t o support.
