Nizer: Stu Should Nc By KITTY McCASKILL Staff Writer Attorney Louis Nizer said here. Tuesday night that, even if studest demands are reasonable, students have no right to lock up a univer. sity president or prevent other stu. dents from attending classes. Speaking on today's rebellious youth, he said, "I try to rationali-:e the revolt and I don't find that difficult. Our youth are disillu. sioned with the world as it is. So are we." Yet Nizer said he had no apolo gies for his generation. "It was; my generation which caused the government to recognize the wel fare of all people. We have pro grams of Medicare and Social Se. curity an(i are sending students to school at government expense. "Must an institution be flawless? What institution would surviv(.? Employes w o u I d imprison their boss. Husbands w o u I d impris-n their wives; wives would inpr:son their husbands, and the children would imprison them both." SD)S, he commented, understand,s the oldest revolutionary tactic of arousing the mob. He claimedl that. at Columbia University, although the police were not provoked, one; studlent was splashed w i t h red paint and his picture appeared in, the New York Times displaying po. a:ce brutality. "A college is the center of learn. ing. Men are gathered to teach the unknowledgeable young. When the young say to the teachers that this. is the courses we want, the qu3ta we want, the color of the professor we want, they are invading the sphere of authority of people who have trained all their lives." ['onight logue" with the American student: to Carolina Wednesday. The television host will speak at 2:30 in Drayton Hall. There is no charge and the public is invited. The appearance will be spon sored by the University Union Lece tures Committee, under the aus pices of the RC University Series, a public affairs program of the Royal Crown Cola Co. Following his talk, Linkletter will take part in a question-and. answer session with the audience. 5 A reception for the speaker will . be held in the Russell House fol. lowingr the talk. 3r ; sident Kobel dents t Disrupt "When buildings are seized or valuable papers burned, it is prop r to immediately call in the police. If there were a fire, you wouldn't resist calling a fireman. "The police should be welcomed. 3DS hates all authority including :he p o I i c e. But we as citizens fhouldn't hate them," he added. 'Sure he's wrong sometimes. So ire doctors, priests and lawyers." Alexander To Take New Post By MICHAEL BALL Staff Writer "As director of volunteer ser ,ices at USC I hope to sell s,u lents on the value of volunteer sm." says Dob Alexander, who vill assume the newly created )osition June 1. lie will resign as associate ~haplain of the Wesley Founda ion. Alexander said his first re ponsibihty as dlirec or would be .o coordinate existing campus groups andl help groups and indi ciduals explore new volunteer treas. Pesides working with the .\etro .)olitan E dI u c a t i o n F'oundlation [MEF) and supplying tutors aind 1 job placement corps in deprived ireas, the Volunteer Services will e available to any studlent or group toI develop a project they Save dlreamedl up. "It will be rart 'of my job to encourage all volunteer prograrits, to help them find facilities and ,ut through red tape," Alexander ,aid. Another concern of the director ,vill be interesting the faculty in yxpanding existing field service >rograms giving academic credit. Fle said, "lBy involving studlents in gutsy fashion they can be shown 'ducation is relevant andl goes he 'ondl the classroom. "The community and faculty can ilso be shown~ the students' ability o get hold of a problem and deal vith it effectively," Alexander idded. The other part of the job, as Alexander sees it, is to be a liaison w.ith community agencies and vol mnteers. "Volunteer Services here will be participatory democracy where tudents who are really interested an have a v'oice on all lev'els of rojects, short term andl other eine," Alevxander. .id.
