VOLUME 46
CENTRAL MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1965 NUMBER 8
Petition Greeting Going To Viet Nam
Drill Team Sponsoring Thank-You
Christmas Card To U.S. Soldiers
Central students are planning to send their thanks in
the form of a huge Christmas
card to a division of U.S.
fighting men in Viet Nam.
The scroll-like card containing as many names as can
be gathered in a week will go
to the 1st Infantry Division,
"The Big Red One," now serving in Vietnam.
f Portions of the card will be
eirculated starting Monday by
some 30 members of Central's
ROTC drill team, according to
team commander Mike Farrell,
Big Rapids senior. Farrell
hopes to send the card Friday,
"We want the card to re-
Present all of Central's students, faculty and administration, not just the drill team
or military science department," Farrell explains.
Our purpose in sending the
card is not political. We just
want to wish these soldiers
season's greetings and thank
them for what they are doing
for us," he explains. The exact
message to go on the card has
?°J; yet been determined.
' While portions of the card
are being circulated for signa-

tures, volunteer student and
faculty artists will be working
on the design and lettering of
the main greeting. When signatures are secured, the various portions of the card will
be fastened together.
The idea to do something
for American troops in Viet
Nam was discussed at a drill
team meeting last Monday.
Suggestions to send food,
blood, supplies and cards to
individual soldiers were all
dismissed.
"The Pentagon is already
flooded with goods donated for
our men in Viet Nam," Farrell
explains, "and we discarded
the idea of sending individual
cards since names of soldiers
in a war zone are classified information."
The drill team then came up
with the idea of sending one
big Christmas card. Estimates
now are that it will be at
least 3 by 6 feet in size, and
include the 1st Infantry Division's patch.
. The "Big Red One" was
chosen because Central cadets
who take summer training at
Fort Riley, Kan.,, shared the
post with the 1st Division before it was sent to Viet Nam.
To 'Brain' Test
By Senator Henry
Central football coach Bill
Kelly was challenged to an
intelligence test at Student
Senate's Monday night meeting.
Senator Earle Henry challenged Kelly to an SAT intelligence test. According to
Henry, if Kelly scored higher,
he will leave CMU in January.
And, by the same token, Kelly
must leave if Henry scores
higher.
"I think his (Kelly's) remarks have hurt CMU more
than any other made since the
investigation started," Henry-
said. This was in reference to
Kelly's testimony before the
State Senate Investigating
Committee. '
"I think it's' high time that
after' 36 years of teaching with
a bachelor's degree, coach
Kelly either put up or shut
up," Henry added.
Henry also reversed his
feelings and commended his
fellow Senators .for the increased number of signatures
on the petition .given to the
investigating committee.
He pointed out that Senate
had turned out 700 signatures
between Monday night and
the time the petition was
presented to the committee.
The total number of signatures was 4,150. Henry said
that 90 more had come in since
then. -7
row, Board of Trustees chairman, will also testify.
According   to   Senator   Edward Robinson (D-Dearborn),-
this    session    will    conclude
hearing activity on campus.
Robinson said his committee
will make its report to the
State Senate during the first
session in Jarmary.
Giving testimony last Tuesday were 12 witnesses, including the five faculty members
denied salary increments.
Those    testifying,   included
Charles Westie, associate professor, sociology; Dr. Bernard
Meltzer,   chairman,    sociology
department; Dr. Cleon Richt-
meyer, dean of the School of
Arts and Sciences; Dr. Oscar
Oppenheimer, professor, philosophy;   Dr.   Victor   Coutant,
professor,   foreign   languages;
Paul Evett, assistant professor,
English;    Dr.    John    Hepler,
chairman, English department;
Dr. Kenneth Bordine, dean of
the School of Education; Dr.
Karl Pratt, chairman, psychology; Dr. Thomas Smith, professor, psychology;  C. Milton
Pike, dean of students and Dr.
Charles     Anspach,    president
emeritus.
'Absolute Loyalty'
Westie,    one    of   the   five
instructors  denied  salary  increments . or adjustments, read
a prepared statement.
"My loyalty to the idea of
a university in, general and
to this university in particular
is absolute. It has in addition
my unfettered devotion," he
said."*   '
Westie said he was told he
did receive the raise because
of his""want of cooperation"
and "lack of institutional use-
'   fulness,"
Westie said he had conver-"
sation with Dr. Wilbur Moore,
vice-president of academic affair's,   Dr.   Cleon  Richtmeyer,
