VOTERS WAIT FOR KENNEDY LANDING’
Rv JUDITH REYNOLDS
Poiitiral fever is mounting on campus once more ¿s both students and faculty await Democratic presidential hopeful John Kennedy?’’ campus appearance next Tuesday.
All 9 and 10 a.m. classes have been cancelled In order that the entire university community can attend Senator Kennedy’s speech, the second of the university’s First Time Voter convocations.
Senator Kennedy, who is following Vice President Nixon's Oct. 14 campus talk, has been praised both legislature and soldier as well as student.
Courage, endurance and excellent leadership"
best typify Senator Kennedy, according to top Navy brass who twice decorated him for these characteristics.
As a young PT-boat commander in the South Pacific during World War II, Jack Kennedy refused to say - No”—even to death. On a cold, starless night, a Japanese destroyer ripped his boat in two. Kennedy plunged into icy waters to help those who had been thrown overboard.
All who were not killed in the collision were re-turned to the PT ‘ half” that remained afloat.
A series of watery rendezvous and flirtations with death followed before the young commander could secure aid for his crew.
When rescuers finally arrived nine days after the initial plunge into the sea. Kennedy’s .spirits remained undaunted He belligerently hollered, ‘ Where the hell have you been?” Kennedy's fighting spirit was again manifsted in his ambitious battle in 1952 against the Massachusetts senatorial incumbent, Henry Cabot Lodge.
After securing the Senate position, he sought, re-election in 1958. Winning by a margin of more than 870,000 votes, he chalked up the biggest victory ever accorded any candidate of either party for any office In the history of Massachusetts.
His legislative efforts proved that Kennedy’s political popularity was not unfounded. In 1954, he was
•author of a bill to investigate oost-price squeezes on the farmer and a bill to distribute surplus food to 17 million needy Americans.
Also along these lines, Kennedy led a fight for ‘ distressed areas’’ in 1956'. to eliminate pockets of unemployment. More recently, he led the fight for the SI.25 Minimum Wage Bill the Fair Labor Management Reform Bill and Social Security-type legislation.
In addition to recognized political and war records. Kennedy is also the possessor of numerous academic honors. He is an honor graduate of Harvard University and holds honorary doctor of law degrees from 18 colleges and universities, including Harvard. Syracuse, Notre Dame. Brandeis and Tufts.

General meetings in each field of study will be called in the near future by the senator or head of that field to develop a school council. Under the resolution, students will be provided with s prime opportunity to dis-eos* pfoOlenv currently before
the Senate or su^cest items loi consideration.
Jn line with the attempt to build closer bonds between the senators and students, ASSC President Bill Steigerwait reported at the meeting that a program to encourage participation in legislation among Ihe living group« is currently being promoted.
Slpigei-w all, who has ali cadv taken .several stepc on his own toward stimulating greater student participation, said letters are being sent to all fraternities, sororities and dormitories informing them of legislation under consideration.
The Steigerwait system would permit living groups interested
that we feel thev are incompatible with the best interest of the University community,” his letter states.
The black-edged'Monday edition of the Daily Californian reported that the political maneuver was made over the pretest of Dean of Students William Shepard and more than 100 graduate students.
The resolution was said to tie in direct violation of the policies of UC Chancellor Clark Kerr.
A mass meeting of students on the Berkeley campus denounced the action and urged the recall of several committe«» members.
The meeting, called b\ the California Committee for Free and Independent Student and sponsored by several campus groups including the Young Republicans and Young Democrats, was attended by hundreds j narcotics of Cal students.
Silver’s resignation climaxed a running battle between the Daiiv' Californian siaff and the
taxes,” Shell said.
The narcotic issue, he felt, is one of the mwt crucial matters in California.
“Narcotic addiction has increased 500 per cent in Los An-i geles as opposed to only a 42 per cent increase in population,” Shell noted.
