Miller Quits
Teaching Post
School trustees ended a week
of community-wide furor by accepting the res,i gnation of Costa
Mesa High School teacher Donald Miller who had stepped on
the edge of an American flag to
emphasize a classroom lecture
point.
Newport-Mesa School Board
action came last Thursday night
as it decided to honor the teacher's request that he be reassigned to a non-teaching po,st
until after the Christmas holidays when he would be released
from his tenure contract.
"Although I believe I am a
good teacher and have done
nothing which I feel is either
ethically
or
professionally
wrong," Mr. Miller pointed out
in a statement to the Board, "I
believe the publicity resulting
from the present situation has
been so great as to hinder my ·
effectiveness in a classroom in
this district. It may also continue
to be a hindrance to the bettering of educatio;n in this area."
Mr. Miller in an earlier statement asked his fellow teachers
not to direct any anger or hostility they felt towards a scapegoat in the schoo,l community,
"but towards that aspect of man
that allows his emotions to overcome his reason."
"In other words, b-y to direct
your hostility into a positive
force ... ," he added. "Perhaps
if you can teach today's students
to think more rationally, tomorrow's citizens will never cause a
situation like the one which has
confronted me."
Yell Leaders
Will Compete
In an effort to establish the
best method of choosing song
and yell leaders in the future, a
new procedure will be used ·this
fall. Song and yell leaders will
be selected by a committee comprised of representatives from
the administration, coaching
staff, and students. Selections
will be based on ability, spirit,
and enthusiasm.
Try-out routines will be
taught two days: Friday, October 14, 3-5:00 p.m.; and Satur·d ay, October 15, 1-3:00 p.m.;
Persons interested should repo1t
to the grass area behind the
gym at least one day, if not
both. Preliminary try-outs will
be Monday, October 17, 7:30
p.m., and the finals wjll be
Wednesday, October 19, 7:30
p.m. TelJills of office will extend
from December - June. Either
elections or selections will be
made in late May for next year.
Eligibility is based on an established 2.0 grade point average. It will be necessary to m aintain this while in office. Freshmen students have not established th~ir GPA's presently, but
will be eligible to run for these
offices in June. Transfer students with a 2.0 GPA are eligible to run for office in this selection process.

Vietnam Day Committee
Reinstated At Berkeley
Berkeley's Vietnam Day Committee - more commonly known
as the "VDC" - has been reinstated on the UC Berkeley campus as an offic,ially-recognized
University organization. The action came Friday, contradicting
a rejection for reinstatement
made earlier in the week by
University administrators.
the War.
The group, which was kicked
off campus last August, will be
known as the Campus Vietnam
Day Committee. Its official title,
however, is the Vietnam Day
Conw:nittee, Campus Charter of
the United Committee to End
Berkeley's assistant dean of
students, Donald Hopkins, commented to a staff member of
Berkeley's student newspaper,
the Daily Californian, that the
original objection to the group
was that it lacked organization.
"It could not provide," explained
a Californian wr,iter to Anthill
Loan Program Now
Available to Students
The new Student Loan Program sponsored by the State
Scholarship and Loan Commission is under way with loans up
to $1,000 a year available to
full-time college students whose
families have an annual income
of less than $15,000 as defined
in Federal regulations. The six
percent interest rate will be
paid by the Federal government
while the studnt is emolled in
school. The student borrower
will repay the loan at the three
per cent during the five to ten
year repayment period.
Applications for guaranteed
loans will be mailed to eveiy
California college this month.
Interested students should contact the financial aid office to
secure an application.
reporters, "a list of sponsors, officials or members, probably because most of the members were
non-students."
Hopkins also accused the
Conw:nittee of violating University rules. The VDC sponsored
two non-student speakers ;in the
same week, and it also owed the
University $500.00 in back dues
and fees.
.
Shortly after the group was
kicked off campus, it filed suit
against the University ;in the
Alamitos County Superior Court.
The suit asked that the Court
direct Berkeley officials to hold
an open hearing to consider the
VDC' s request of reinstatement ..
The case was pending in court
at the time their readmittance to
the campus was approved. Peter
Camejo, past VDC steering
committee member, commented
that the suit "will probably be
dropped now."
Although the VDC has not
yet formally elected officers, it
has a governing body of a steering committee. Head of the
steering committee Carl Frank
reported to the Californian that
plans have been made for a big
rally this weekend sponsored by
the VDC. The program will feature several soldiers from the
Berkeley area who had or,iginally refused to fight in Vietnam,
but who are being forced to take
overseas duty in that country.
Film Reflect Change
'British New Wave' to Break
"The British are ahead of us."
So stated Daniel Stein, acting
assistant professor of drama at
UCI, in discussing the film
se1ies British New Wave, to be
presented by the Division of
Fine Alts.
A Taste. of Honey, first in a
series of six films, will be shown
October 25, followed in November by Five Finger Exercize,
Expresso Bongo, The ,Kitchen,
and The Entertainer. The concluding film, This Sporting Life,
will be v1ewed December 6.
Br,i tain' s "restless generation,"
reflecting changing values and
attitudes, is pictured in the
films, which are "relevant to our
generation," according to Professor Stein. Stein stated that
the free speech movements, war
protests and civil rights demonstrations of America are all part
of a search for sound values, a
search also quite ev,ident in
Britain.
Professor Stein noted that the
films are both entertaining and
educational, presenting a picture of today's England and possibly tomorrow's United States.
He explained the statement ccthe
British are ahead o.f us" by indicating that both England and
the USA are following a pattern
of world prestige, loss of that
prestige through a national failure and finally the turmoil of a
search for sounder values.
Because tlw USA still holds
world prestige, Professor Stein
said, "We are yet to have our
ang1-y young men." In comparing America and England, Stein
presented the view that Ame1ica does not yet produce films
comparable to those of the angry young men h·adition b ecause
"drama comes from failure."
Tickets to each of the six
British New Wave films will
cost $1.00; a subscription ticket
to the entire series sells for
$4.50. All films will begin at 8
p.m. in the Science Lecture
Hall.
Applications are now available for the next draft deferment tests which will be given
November 18 and 19. Male
students of draft age must have
their application filled out and
post-marked no later than midnight of October 21 in order to
be eligible for the November
tests. He should! file his application early if he wishes to be
assigned to his first chqice of
testing center and testing date.
Cal-State college at Fulle1ton
will be the only testing center
in the Orange County are, although the test will also be administered at UCLA and USC.
Packets conta,ining an application card, information bulletin,
and sample questions can be
obtained at Cal-State Fullerton
in the Admissions natl Records
Office, Room 104 of the Letters
and Sciences building, or at
local draft boards.
The test will only be given
to those studlents who have not
previously taken it. Out of the
approximately 770,000 college
men who took the tests in May
and June, 81 per cent passed
with a grade of 70 or better.
About 146,000 failed, but no
one that failed has lost his student deferment because of his
score on the test, reports the
Selective Service.
Lewis B. Hershey, director of
the Selective Service, said that
these students: would not be reclassified unless "we face a
steady caJ1 of over 30,000 a
month." From August to November the draft quota was set
at 30,000, w;ith the exception
of October's quota of 49,000.
An undergraduate student can
maintain his exempt status if he
passes the draft deferment test
or if he is in the upper half of
his class at the end of his freshmen year, the upper two-thirds
at the end of his sophomore
year, and the upper threefourths at the end of his junior
year.
Seniors going on to graduate
school must score an 80 on the
test or be in the upper fourth
of their graduating class.
Hershey Concedes
Morality Issue
Students questioning the morality of the draft found an unusual source of support last
week - Lt. General Lewis B.
Hershey, diirector of the Selective Serv:lce System.
"I would rathr go to jail than
perform military service if I
found it morally impossible to
accept our nation's policies,"
Hershey replied to a question
from one o.f over 500 people he
address·e d in the Yale Law
School auditorium, New Haven,
Connecticut.
Hershey was answering a
question about what a person
should do if he were of draft
age and found that he was
forced to perform military acts
he found morally impossible to
support.

Stumpy Gives Squalid Advice To Confused Freshman Girl
Stumpy's at it again. Here's
another of his letters to one of
his many girls.
Dear Bobbi,
Having completed your first
week at Irvine, I can imagine
how frightened and lonely you
must feel, for it is truly a big
adjustment going . from high
school to a large university.
(The fact that your high school
had twice as many students
doesn't matter). In order to make
this transition as easy as possible
I've decided to pass on to you
the vast insight into college life
which I acquired here last year.
There is little doubt in my mind
that if you adhere to my advice
· your Freshman year will be far
more enjoyable.
Not knowing where you are
living I can only hope that
you've gotten housing off campus. It seems that last year, due
to the . large walk from Mesa
empty the trash make her say,
"please!"
Like most of us, not being
particularly wealthy, you are no
doubt amazed at the expense
involved in living here. While
no one can argue that the cost
is considerable, those of us who
were here last year have found
ways to lower the cost.
Besides being your largest
single expenditure, the Bookstore can also be your largest
s01arce of revenue. Once a quarter they give out free plastic
bookcovers (I guess to sort of
ease their conscience for the
prices they charge for books).
Well, what ever their motives
may be, you'd be surprised how
fast students from various high
schools in the area gobble them
up at a nickle apiece. If this
doesn't raise enough revenue
you can, without too much difficulty, smuggle cookies, cakes
Court to the rest of the campus,
most of the girls here acquired
long, unsightly muscles in their
legs. I realize that by not living
on campus you'll be missing
the explosive social life here,
but knowing how much you
value personal appearance, this
seems to be the lesser of two
evils.
If, however, you have been
forced to live in the dorms then
you must really be on the lookout. More than likely, they'll
have given you a sophomore
roommate who having been
through this whole thing last
year will act like G-D where
you're concerned. She'll probably take the bed closest to the
telephone, borrow all y o u r
clothes while telling you that
you couldn't possibly fit into
hers, but you'll have to be
tough, show her you're her
equal, when she tells you to
fBl Probe, One Demonstration
Highlight Irvine ·Political Scene
Since UC campus politics are
a rather touchy subject this
year, it is worthwhile to clarify
UCI's position before the locusts
swoop down. In short, political
activity at Irvine is Jminimal.
There are three political clubs
·on campus: The UCI Democrats, the Irvine Collegiate
Young Republicans and the
Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). All of these groups
were founded last year on a
base of existing political establishment. They have yet to succeed in capturing the following
that the various movements at
other UC campuses. have. Membership last year rangedi from
peaks of 30 members in the UCI
Democrats to an almost static
three SDS members.
Even with these sJmall memberships, some very unique
· things happened to the group.
This included the impeachment
of Donald Hill, a president of
the Young Republicans, for sus- a policy against r.elease of such
pected liberalism and a Federal information in the future be inBureau of Investigation probe stituted. The Academic Senate

An FBI agent approached an as the ,Democratic club.
The final say was, however,

Social Science - If they
haven't changed the course any
since last year, then for all intents and purposes you have
three classes and a rest period.
Biology - I only hope you
were smart enough to schedule
your lab as far away from lunch

their Fetal Pigs.
Lastly, the police problem. If

that boys can use this same

Selective Service
Is Not To Punish
Hundreds o.f thousands o.f Americans are in Vietnam today,
fighting a war which our government has: decided should be fought.
They may soon be joined! by six University of Michigan students
who have just lost their case before the draft appeals board.
Did these students score below 70 on the draft test last spring?
No, that's not why they're going to be drafted. Are their grades
bad? Are they on probation m subject to dismissal? No, they seem
to be doing all right in school.
The reason they have been reclassified 1-A is a simple one:
they demonstrated against the war in Vietnam. They sat ,i n at the
dlraft board in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and are to be punished by
being drafted.
To this writer, the prospect is disgusting. The draft was intended
to raise an army, not to punish dissenters. Lawbreaking by civilians
should be punished by the courts, not by the Selective Service
System.
, The issue is not whether these students are light or wrong in
believing our position in Vietnam is an immoral one, but whether
or not they should have the light to think we shouldn't be there.
The protestors violated the law. They were fined and given jail
sentences. That should have been the end of it. But it wasn't.
Colonel A1thur Holmes, director of the Michigan Selective Service
System, thought the sentences wel'e insuff,icient. What could be
more appropliate, he reasoned, than to draft the dissenters?
Holmes is justifying this action through a section of the law
which permits the drafting of persons· who violate the draft law
by ·committing such acts as failing to register. The difference between trying to evade the draft and protesting against the govemment's policy is apparently not visible to Colonel Holmes.
Chlistian Centmy Magazine (December 22, 1965) has editorialized that "to hold over th·e heads: of young men . . . the threat
that they will be dlrafted iif they denounce the war in Vietnam or
the draft is to say that the constitutional right of free expression is
suspended for all male .Americans between the ages of 18 and 26."
..,..- The American Civil Liberties Union has taken the students'
cases to court. Barring an injunction, these persons who had nerve
enough to stand up (and s,it down) for what they believed will be
drafted in November. The mesasge from your local draft board
was expressed in song by Pete Seeger:
" . .. It's easier far to stay half alive.
Just keep your mouth shut
While the planes zoom and dive
Ten thousand miles over the ocean."
Responsible
lrreverance

The Anthill, 3120 Commons, UCI.
Last week I toyed with a light
description of an ideal sexual
standard on campus - basically
free sex. Today, for want of
letters to answer, I would like
to comment on a serious problem which is developing on this
campus. It has been my personal observation th a t many
girls, especially last year's freshmen, have acquired scandalous
reputations because of liberties
they took with male students in
the past. This is a deplorable
trend which is caused by the
immaturity, if not the ruthlessness, of the men involved.
One of the signs of maturation in children is a growing
feeling of ~pathy for others.
By the time a person is an adult,
he is supposed to have developed the ability to consider his
own actions in the light of their
effects upon other people. A
surprising number of the male
students here are retarded in
this respect; they don't think for
a moment of the girl's position
before they publicize their own
sexual prowess to anyone who
will bother to listen. In dlo.ing
so, they make the girl sound
like a tramp.
We are all aware of the dual
standard which paradoxically allows men to indulge in sex but
forbids women this freedom. I
am amazed that men can subject girls to this for the sake of
their own egos. Some character
trait is obviously lacking when
1a man can date a girl; talk to
her about personal problems,
plans and goals; become physically intimate with her; and then
show such complete disregard
for the girl's well-being, How
cheaply can this guy evaluate
the experience of a human life?
Words fail me when I try to express my disgust for a person
who can be so woundl up with
his own problems and pleasures
that he will sacrifice another
person on the altar of public
opinion.
If any man is still reading
this column, I would like him to
ponder the probable future of
the girl he has seduced. That
girl wants to marry into respectable society, to become the
mainstay of a man's life, and to
become the lov,i ng mother of
their children. Her ultimate success or failure in life will depend
upon how well she performs
her part in a family. How much
does your talk of oral grat~fica­
tion and co~tus with this· human
being help her in finding that
man with whom she will
spend a lifetime? I don't suggest
that you should not have sedluced her; just realize that the
guy sitt.ing across the table from
you :may have been well suited
t o make his life with the girl
you slept with last night. It
won't hurt anyone that you slept
with her if he doesn't know
about it, so shut up and act
like a man.

There's An Honor Code
Around Somewhere

Please limit letters to 150 words.
Last year the one ,issue that aroused more student reaction than
any other was the Honor Code. This year there's no issue that
students are less aware o.f. Many students don't even know that we
have one!
When asked to tell all she knew about the Honor Code, one
freshman girl remarked, "I did hear that we had one the other day.
I think it means we aren't supposed to cheat!" Even the former
chairman of the Honor Code Committee - who was closer to the
honor concept than anyone else on campus - was forced to ask
what had happened to it at a recent meeting of the Vice-Chancellor' s Advisory Committee.
For an Honor Code to function, students and faculty need to
be aware of its existence, to say the least.
It is possible that the use of the honor concept is being delayed
until after the ASUCI elections since the machinery for the code
is provided in the proposed constitution. This would be a poor
excuse for a delay, since it seems doubtful that the code would
even have a chance if we wait until the middle of this academic
year to say, "Okay, it's time to be honest again."
The Honor Code had bleak prospects for the future to begin
with, but after the delay and indecision, its future has become
even bleaker.
UCI has a choice to make. First, whether or not to follow an
Honor Code. If we choose to follow one, we have another chqice:
whether to follow a partial code in which we simply aim to instill
honesty and concern in the students, or whether to follow a real
code where there are no rules, no proctors, and so on, The latter
would be ideal if it were realistic, but it is not.
Actually, the honor concept is unrealistic anyway. The basic
reason is that for it to' function, students must not only be honest
themselves, but they must also fink on others. In today's soc,iety,
however, finking is sQ/mething that most people just don't do ..
A true Honor Code seems to be for the b,irds, not Anteaters.
Any form of Honor Code will have a better chance of success
the sooner it is put into practice. I especially hope a code is adopted
soon because there's nothing more frustrating than waiting half
an hour for dinner while seeing other students infiltrate the lines. ·
(Indeed, it's bad enough eating without enduring this added frustration!)

Communist
Plot Bared
Do you realize that in our
public schools girls take
showers nude in front of their
female classmates?
This startling fact was
bared recently by Dr. George
Crane in the Santa Ana Register. "The tendency to expose . . . ," he pointed out,
"is an integral doctrine of
communism and - socialism."
His article details the subversion of a sacred American
institution, The Bathroom.
He traces .t he roots of this
subversion to the income tax
law of 1913 which "permitted bureaucrats to invade the
bank acounts and pay checks
of every cit,izen."
The violations of our rights
of privacy are spreading
daily. Along with Dr. Crane,
the Anthill staff hopes that as
sober and reasoning cit,izens
we may soon return to those
tried and true days when
everyone was taught frO/ffi infancy to be ashamed of his
body and its functions.

By Pritzke·r & Bell
Friday, October 28, a.t 8 p.m.,
a series of student-faculty seminars will be he1cL to evaluate the
grading system and its possible
abolishment. Far too often students simply accept the university
program as it is set up for them
and they are unable to think and
speak critically of the system.
These seminars will allow students to discuss the academic
system and how it might be
changed.
There are many serious academic problems at Irvine, and
students should not allow the
system to get away with them.
We praise Jam es Immel andl
Jeff Moskow for their blast at
social sciences in last week's
paper. More of this kind of criticism is vitally necessary from
students of all departments.
There should be some student
reacton to the excessive professionalism in . the Fine Arts
Division. We are finding that
fine arts productions are too
much the product of professionals and non-Irvine students .
It seems to us. that school productions should reflect for the
most part the talents of Irvine
students. The cast for Midsummer Night's Dream, the fall
quarter drama production, contains a significant number of
non-Irvine students. In fact, a
major role is being performed
by a well-known professional
actor.
For the second sfraight year,
the Art Department has planned
to exhibit only totally professional shows. The rationale for
this is that student's work should
not be exposed to the public
until they are "ready." Readiness is immaterial. The student's
work must be displayed because
THEY ARE THE UNIVERSITY.
This basic principle must be
upheld.
When professionals are being
cast instead of students in a university production, then the university has lost its focus. The
purpose of university productions is not that they be successful, but that they involve UCI
students.

Unbeaten UCLA Hosts
UCI Tankers Saturday
Coach Al Irw-in's water poloists journey to UCLA Saturday
morning to face the unbeaten
Bruins at 10:30.
"Our chances of winning are
slight," Irwin rem,arked. "Our
primary goal is to play the same
kind of good tough ball game
that we displayed in the first
half of the SC game. We
dropped a 12-4 decision last
year to UCLA, but I wasn't dissatisfied with our play then; we
scored first and led through the
first quarter before they pulled
away."
In sporting a 4-1 won-lost
record,
Irwin's
crew
has
dropped its only decision to topranked SC. "Our team play has
come along real well in the last
few matches," observed Coach
Irwin. "Though the entire team
has played well as a unit, Bill
Crist, Dave Smith and freshman
Steve F armer have been outstanding."
Hopefully, recovery from in-
juries, which have plagued the
team and left it short of depth,
is within sight. Randy Howatt,
who has been out of the water
ten days after having three
stitches taken on his left eyeball,
and Dave Belknap, who broke
a finger in the v,ictory over
Long Beach City College a week
ago, both should. be ready for
limited action against UCLA.
Led by 1964 water polo
Olympian Stan Cole, UCLA has
knocked off all comers, including
UCS last Friday 5-3 in maintaining their unblern'isbed record. Three Bruin teammates
Bruce Bradley, and brother~
Bruce and Torrey Webb, joined
Cole on an AAU team which
toured Europe this summer.
Crawford Himself Planned
Campus Hall To Fit Needs
In 1962 the director of athletics at the University of California at Riverside was given
the opportun..ity and challenge
to establish the athletic program
at the new campus at Irvine.
With the support of an administration that felt that sports was
a vital part of the University,
Dr. Wayne Crawford instigated
a thirty year proposed athletic
program.
In planning the sports program at Irvine, Dr. Crawford
had to plan for the facilities that
would house or field the sports.
Area was no probl8!IT1, as a thirty
acre site was ava,ilable for use.
'lne problem was mainly money
and the fact that the administration had expressed the hope that
a multi-purpose building could
be built.

Golf Meeting
This Afternoon
This afternoon at 4 :00 p.m. ,
a meeting will be held in the
Campus Hall classroom for all
students interested in the
UCI golf team.
Golf coach Dick Davis
urges all prospective candidates for the UCI intercollegiate golf team to attend the
meeting. Coach Davis also
mentioned that a good score
would range in the low 80's.
This year, the Irvine duffers will have three courses
to practice on: Santa Ana
Country Club, Monday - all
day and on Fdday after one
p.m.; Rancho San Joaquin,
every day; and Irvine Coast.
Since all Irvine home matches
will be held on these courses
the team will have time to
adjust and imaster them.
This year's schedule shows
that the Irvine golfers will
have to drive past USC and
Cal State LA both of whom
were rated in' the top four in
the country last year. This
season also will find the Anteaters battling the Spy Glass
Hill Course in Monterey, one
of the toughest courses in the
country.
Coach Davis estimates that
the team will carry ten players; six of the ten will participate in
the
scheduled
matches.
Crew Coach Sees
Bright Outlook
As the varsity crew squad
eludes their second week of
practice, crew coach Devall
Hecht hopes to beat a few of
the "big schools" this year. In
last year's competition, Irvine's crew team had a big upset win over UCLA.
Returning for a second year
of coaching, Hecht wants to
concentrate on building a strong
foundation of good collegiate
oarsmen. Hecht is confident that
with hard work and practice,
the crew squad will give the
"big schools" some competition
and! may even put on a repeat
performance for UCLA.
Irvine sophomores, who will
be competing against seniors
w,i th two or more years of experience, will have a rough season. Although the crew team has
an abundance of spi.J.it and enthusiasm, it seems to lack the
needed manpower. Because
?rew, ..as Hecht so aptly put it,
is a horse power affair," the
team needs more "bodies." At
the present time, the varsity
squad has only 35 imembern including the 15 returning lettermen. The freshman squad has
less than 20.
In working to build a strong
foundation, Coach Hecht also
looks to the future and hopes to
I
have a group of boys good
enough to compete in national
and international crew. "That's
the great thing about crew,"
says Hecht, "It's an international
sport."
Because a team may be able
to qualify in any of seven crew
events in national or international competition, Hecht wants
to make Irvine one of the few
colleges which puts a major
emphasis on small boat training.
As a part time coach, Hecht
is a graduate of Stanford. After
tlu·ee years of experience on the
Stanford! crew squad, Hecht
moved on to "bigger and
better" things. In 1952, he was
named to the United States
Olympic team. The 1956 01)11llpics, however, proved to be the
big year for Coach Hecht; in
Aush·alia, Hecht and his partner
won a gold medal for the United States.

Campus Hall, now in its second year, is part of the first five
year plan in Crawfor~s thiity
year master plan. Campus Hall
at the end of this five year plan
will be able to accommodate a
maximum, of 4,000 students. At
that time a new gym will have
been completed.
The new gym (1971) will be
over 100,000 square feet, with
a seating capacity of 8,000 for
basketball. It will also contain
new handball and squash courts.
A major part of the building
will be devoted to the growing .
need of locker facilities for men.
