The Treaty of Peace between the people of the United States and the people of South Vietnam and North Vietnam has been traveling across America. Students at many colleges and universities have been sponsoring referendums on the treaty in an effort to determine public reaction to the proposals.
The treaty has been sponsored by the National Student Association (NSA). Following is the treaty:
1) The Americans agree to immediate and total withdrawal from Vietnam and publicly to set the date by which aU. American forces will be removed.
The Vietnamese pledge as soon as the U.S. government sets a date for total withdrawal:
2) They will enter discussions to secure the release of all American prisoners, including pilots captured while bombing North Vietnam.
3) There will be an immediate cease fire between U.S. forces and those led by the Provisional Revolutionary Government of South Vietnam.
4) They will enter discussions of the procedures to guarantee the safety of all withdrawing troops.
5) The Americans pledge to end the imposition of the Thieu - Ky -Khien on the people of South Vietnam in order to insure their right

Faculty Should Review Policy
The Faculty Policy Committee (FPC) has called upon Dean of the College of education Richard Lawrence to substantiate or retract charges he has made against former chairman of the health, physical education and recreation (HPER) department.
Armond Seidler, former HPER chairman, was dismissed in January and Lawrence has refused to make the reasons for the dismissal public.
In making its decision about Lawrence's charges against Seidler, the FPC also questioned the mandatory change of department chairmen.
When the faculty passed the policy to change department chairmen within a specified time limit, it was probably done to save some departments which have fallen victim to long-term, unchanging faculty members. Such is as it should be.
But unfortunately, the policy contains few safeguards to protect chairmen who are doing their jobs and helping, rather than hindering, their departments. These department chairmen should not fall prey to the system, unless, of course, they ask to be relieved of their duties.
We suggest the faculty take this opportunity to review its mandatory replacement system.

to self-determination and so that all political prisoners can be released.
6) The Vietnamese pledge to form a provisional coalition government to organize democratic elections in which all South Vietnamese can participate freely without the presence of any foreign troops.
7) The South Vietnamese pledge to enter discussion of procedures to guarantee the safety and political freedom of those South Vietnamese who have collaborated with the United States or with the U.S.supported regime.
8) The Americans and Vietnamese agree to respect the independence, peace and neutrality of Laos and Cambodia in accord with the 1954 and 1962 Geneva conventions and not to interfere in the internal affairs of these two countries.
9) Upon these points of agreement, we pledge to end the war and resolve all other questions in the spirit of self-determination and mutual respect for the independence and political freedom of the people of Vietnam and the United States.
By ratifying the agreement, we pledge to take whatever actions are appropriate to implement the terms of this joint treaty and to insure its acceptance by the government of the United States.
The following is a part of the Public Information Series, Bureau of Public Affairs, put out by the Department of State.

"People's Peace Treaty" A number of college students and
others have requested the views of the Department of State on a "Joint Treaty of Peace between the People of the United States and the People of South Vietnam and North Vietnam" which is currently being ci-rculated by the NSA.
Provisions of "Treaty" This document:
• Demands "immediate and total" withdrawal of United States forces from Vietnam, but says nothing about withdrawal of the North Vietnamese forces from South Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.
• Places the Communist side under no obligation to release the Americans they hold prisoner, and requires Hanoi only to "enter discussions" on the question.
• Obligates the United States to remove the government of South Vietnam, a government which was constitutionally elected to office by the people of that country.
• Contains no provision for ending the fighting in Laos or Cambodia, other than a reiteration of intention to respect the Geneva Accords of 1954 and 1962, which have been violated by North Vietnam ever since.
• c'ontains no provision for international supervision of the implementation of any of its terms.
The provisions of this paper are in essence the same terms which have

Cipriano Griego
Opposes Abolition To the Editor:
I am a parent of a college freshman and I am writing to a number of college newspapers in reference to the revision of the Selective Service Act.
I am opposed to the provision just approvad by the House of Representatives and now under consideration by the Senate, whieh permits the President to abolish student deferments ... retroactively to April 23, 1970. Those stud(~nts who are now college freshmen will be the first students since World War
been put forward repeatedly over the past two years by the Communist delegation in Paris. They have not proved acceptable to any political group in South Vietnam except the VietCong.
"What's Blocking Progress Toward Peace?"
The United States and the Republic of Vietnam have proposed a program for peace which includes an immediate cease-fire throughout Indochina under effective international supervision; withdrawal of outside forces; a political settlement in South Vietnam which reflects the existing relationship of political forces; an Indochina peace conference; and immediate and unconditional release of all prisoners of war held by both sides.
Our two governments have stated that we are prepared to negotiate seriously on the basis of these proposals. At the same time, we are prepared to discuss the proposals of the Communist side as well, without any preconditions.
The Communist response has been an adamant refusal to engage in discussions on a peace settlement unless their demands are accepted in advance. It is this position which has blocked any progress toward peace. It is this position which those who want peace should try to change.
II to have their education interrupted. In the present situation this seems unwarranted . . . for it comes at a time when the draft is being phased out and the adminstration's goal is zero draft by 1973. The terrible irony is that the students who are now college freshmen will be the only class to be affected.
To abolish any student deferments is punitive, but to abolish them retroactively is reprehensible. No other deferments have ever been abolished retroactively.
I urge you to publish this Jetter to urge all students to write immediately to their senators to protest this revision. Have their parents' write, also. Bombard Prnsident Nixon with letters and telegrams. We must eliminate the retroaetivP aspc•et of the IH!W S('lective f?c>rvicC' Act.
Aet qukkly ... the H(•nat.e will be voting on this isstu• very soon!

White Cites Law School Boom Increased Enrollments 'Challenges' Educators
A dramatic "return to the law" shown by booming enrollments in law schools was cited as a challenge to "law educators and public policy makers" by Supreme Court Justice Byron White at dedication ceremonies of the new UNM Law School building Saturday,
White gave the keynote speech in the Union ballroom to members of the New Mexico bar, the state's judiciary, representatives of iliw schoois throughout the country and UNM repr,esentative. The program included presentation of the Dean's Awards and farewells to Dean Thomas Christopher.
"The almost inexhaustible need for legal services is a concrete issue for university officials and those who make public policy," White said. • "They must decide whether they will provide more legal education. They must consider legislation and money. The private bar cannot stand aloof from the problem."
White cited the doubling of law school enrollments in the last 10 years, with one·third of the increase coming in 1970.
"In 1960 there were 40,000 students enrolled in law schools, in 1970 there were 82,000. Applications to law schools have increased from 50 percent to doubling over the last year. There
will hardly be an unfilled seat in any of the approved law schools in the country."
He contrasted current enrollment jumps with "secret, rather furtive complaints in the 1950's at law schools that they were not getting the fair share of college graduates."
He attributed increased interest in the law primarily to change in the position of the lawyer in society.
"Law touches everything. Once law shifted from pure regulation and proscription to positive programs the role of the lawyer geometrically expanded. The lawyer is an essential partner in management, in planning, in the day·to·day work of the country.
"The days are gone," he said, "in which lawYers were thought of solely as troubleshooters, courtroom warriers."
White also said the number of women in law schools had increased from 2000 to 7000 over the last four years and added the number of minority group students in law schools had increased "dramatically."
"The law is necessary to achieve orderly, rapid change," White said. The upsurge of interest in criminal and poverty law demonstrates the "infinite need" for Ia wyers, as has the continuing realization that "legal services should be available to

many more people than they have been in the past," White said.
Speaking of UNM's new Law School building, completed in February, White said the school was "an enormous resource for the bar and for the community · at • large."
Gov. Bruce King offered his congratulations on completion of the new building. "We are exceptionally proud of the Law School. We are very appreciative of the fine job done by the Regents on development of the Law School." He added commendation of the UNM Law School's students who served as bill readers for the 1971 legislative session.
Yesterday's address by White was part of the two·day building dedication program that included a blessing by members qf the Navajo Tribe, a symposium on "Identity for Modern Man" and a public open house Sunday afternoon.
The new Bratton Hall, on the north campus, cost $1.7 million and was begun in October, 1969.
The Law School's Dean's Awards, presented for "outstanding service" to legal education, were given to eight persons at Saturday luncheon meeting by Dean Thomas Christopher. Recipients included Judge Kirk, chief justice of the Navajo Tribal court; UNM law student Lou Marjon, for his draft counseling activities; and UNM Regent Lawrence Wilkinson, for his efforts in developing UNM's Jaw program.

UNM President Ferrel Heady lauded Christopher, crediting his "engaging, eftective mix of shrewd strategy and loving· kindness" for expansion of the Law School. Heady also mentioned the "unaminity of support" for dean • designate Hart and predicted Hart would provide "equally vigorous leadership" of the school.
Henry Weihofen, senior professor of the school also made a brief farewell speech to Christopher on behalf of the 17-member Law School faculty. Christopher has been dean since 1965.

Chicanos' Attitude Tow(Lrrl Land Differs /rom Anglos' New Mexico's Chicanos and
anglos have markedly differing attitudes toward land. And those attitudes are unlikely to change with the passage of time, for they are shared equally by young people and by the older generation.
So reports New Mexico Business, a monthly publication of UNM's bureau of business research, in an article entitled ''Contrasting Attitudes Toward Land in New Mexico." The bureau is an agency of UNM's Institute for Social Research and Development (ISRAD).
Attitudes toward land vary most· with education and occupation, report the study's three authors- Clyde Eastman and Carrey Carruthers, both assistant professors in the school of agricultural economics and agricultural business at New Mexico State University, and James A. Liefer, a U.S. Bureau of the Census staffer.
But even at upper levels of education and occupational status, Chicano attitudes toward land remain significantly different from those of anglos in the same categories.
Emotional Attachment Chicanos, say the authors,
"tend to have an emotional attachment to the land (it is a part of the family) and to value intimate personal knowledge of one's own land a continued lineal· family land ownership. They emphasize land transfer · and · use decisions based upon
community welfare, along with the view that land ownership and usage established by custom are more important than those based on legal documents."
In contrast, "anglos tend to view land as a commodity to be bought and sold if the price is right and to stress maximum monetary income from land while they hold it. They emphasize the right of individual decision· making regarding land use and transfer and the maintenance of strict legal concepts of ownership and use."
Basic attitudinal differences have long been well·established. The present study, -however, correlates these attitudes with variable factors including age, education, occupation, income, land ownership and place of residence. A total of '799 persons were interviewed during the study; 594 interviews were usable. For purposes of the study, Eastman, Carruthers and Liefer grouped anglo attitudes as "commercial" and Chicano ones as "traditional."
More Commercial "The expectation was that
younger Chicanos would be much more commercial in frame of mind than the older people," the authors write. "But no generation gap exists. Young people are as traditional as their elders. This fact also indicates that cultural feelings about land will not pass away."
While "educated people with higher incomes and higher ·status
lnt'l Education Association Closes BYU Investigation
The Association of College Union · International (ACU· I) has closed its books on an attempt to censure Brigham Young University (BYU) for alleged discriminatory and racist practices.
The decision not to censure BYU was made at the annual ACU-I conv<>ntion In Murch. The A CU-I exPcutive committee stated,
Charges Dismissed Against U Regents
The State Supreme Court last Monday upheld dismissal of a petition filed a11ainst the UNM RegPnts, ruling that taxpayer stat us alone is not sufficient grounds for a resident to challenge procedures of university boards of regents.
'fhe petition, dismissed by then-District Judge John B. McManus, was filed last May after caucellation fo classes on campus during a student strike protesting the Cambodian invasion and the deaths at Kent State.
'' Iri decrying the Mormon Church's continued denial of equal rights to members of the black race, it is the considered opinion of the committee that the suggested punitive measure of censuring the Mormon religious hierarchy would serve no constructive purpose nor would it bring about any change in the beliefs of the Church."
The investigation that led to a non-censure opinion by the ACU·I executive committee"started when an ACU-I task force, formed three years ago, asked for ACU·I censure of the Mormon church.
"We are requesting that the ACU·I is put on record as censuring the Mormon Church, and we are urging the union boards of ACU·I member Mormon institutions to challenge the racist dogma of the church," wrote task force chairman Ronald Loomis, in a memo dated March, 1970.
The ACU·I is one of the world's old est educational associations, having a current membership of 900 educational institutions.
jobs have a more commercial attitude toward land" among Chicanos, "there is a consistent differences between Anglos and Chicanos at all levels of education." By the same token, those in higher levels of occupational status among Chicanos tend to be more commercial in their outlook, but significant differences remain.
Rural Attitudes Actual experience of land
ownership produces somewhat more traditional attitudes ou the parts of Chicanos, while it has no effect on the attitudes of anglos, the three authors report. Residence in rural localities is associated with high degrees of traditionalism among Chicanos, and higher levels of traditional attitudes are associated with birth in rural areas.
"We had thought that living outs ide the Southwest, particularly for the Chicanos,
would mean a more commercial leaning," write Eastman, Carruthers and Liefer. "But we were wrong. And that negative finding is additional evidence of the durability of traditional attitudes."
The study also asked questions on solutions to New Mexico's land problems. "Land loss," they write, . "has tended to inflame passions and create tensions between ethnic groups in New Mexico."
Inflexible Policies They suggest that alteration of
inflexible policies restricting or forbidding entry on public and private lands could go far to alleviate tensions and reduce fence-cutting and the burning of haystacks and barns.
Proposed land-title clearance programs have the support of 84 percent of those interviewed. But 45 percent see such programs as a means of increased tax revenue,
and 31 percent do not trust slate government to carry out such programs fairly and impartially. Moreover, 35 percent "felt that such a program would eventually work to the disadvantage of the small poorer landowners."
Such attitudes require that government keep these misgivings in mind when formulating programs to regularize northern New Mexico laud titles, the three authors suggest.
The report concludes that "a major land·reform program would probably provide greater social than economic benefits. The nature of the land resource prohibits extensive agricultural development; there is simply not enough agricultural land in the region to support a large rural population at an acceptable economic level." While other uses, such as lumbering and mining, are possible, they are constrained by capital availability.

James E. Womack, an Albuquerque attorney who filed the petition, originally asked faculty members not be paid for the interval when classes were cancelled, but dropped this request in district court.
THE GOOD TIMES The petition charged the
Regents had "abdicated and delegated, contrary to law ... duties and responsibilities relating to the government of the University."
The court, however, ruled UNM is "a creature of the Constitution of the State of New Mexico" and regents thus "owe" their duties to the State, and not to private, persons."
GA, T A Rights Statement Passed Board to Hear Enrollment Proposals Next Month
The UNM Regents Friday passed unanimously the Graduate Assistants and Teaching Assistants (GA, TA) Statement of Rights and Responsibilities, ending its year·long journey through several UNM Committees.
The Board will also hear proposals of enrollment limitations for 1972 at its May meeting,
The GA, TA statement originated after the "Love l:;ust Poem," controversy two years ago, when a graduate assistant used'- allegedly questionable material in teaching a class and UNM policy and· procedures for handling suspension or dismissal in such instances was found to be unclear.
The statement asserts that GA's and TA's play a "dual role" in the University and should be granted students' rights when acting in that capacity and instructors' rights when performing an instructional role. It states, "as teachers, assistants have the responsibility of maintaining professional ethics, and when they
are given discretion of selecting instructional material, are responsible for conducting themselves in a manner consistent with course guidelines.
The statement also guarantees assistants protection from arbitrary dismissal, and if dismissed, gives GA's and TA's the right to appeal to departments, college deans, dean of gradtmte school and finally to the University president.
UNM President Ferrel Heady said that he would submit proposals for enrollment limitations for 1972 at the May meeting of the Regents.
"We were funded fairly close to the Board of Educational Finance level of projection," said Heady. "We must face the question if the Regents should take some action to keep UNM enrollment near the BEF projected level in 1972, of a seven percent increase."
Heady proposed keeping graduate enrollment to an eight percent increase and limiting undergraduate new enrollments to no more than 5200 students. "If

our guesses are right about the number of returning students, we will come out at about an eight percent increase,
"If we're going to something besides wait and see until next year, action will be needed at the May meeting," said Heady.
Representatives from the city fire department, and city government submitted a proposal for construction of a fire station on University property south of Coronado dormitory on the corner of Girard Blvd. NE
The Regents approved the basic idea of the project hut asked City Manager Richard Wilson to take the matter to the Albuquerque City Commission to approve free fire fighting services for UNM in return for use of UNM property.
"It only seems fair that in return for the use of the laqd, the city should provide free fire fighting service to UNM," said Heady.
Wilson said that it was normal procedure for a university to pay for services and estimated costs to UNM for fire protection at $200,000.
If approved and implemented, the fire station would have 16 men on duty at all times and "would not unduly disturb dorm residents with noise," said a fire department official.
In other business, the Regents decided not to take formal action preventing the Booster Club, a non-profit corporation which donates funds to the UNM athletic programs, from copywriting a Lobo emblem for sale to local product representatives.
The Boosters plan to sell exclusive rights for use of the Lobo emblem to a whisky firm for display on bottle labels.
The Regents did decide, however, that the emblem should not be used exclusively by an product, but· made available to competitors.

20 students have filed to run for· 10 Senate vacancies, but the commission has declared two of them ineligible on the basis of low grade·point average or insufficient residency at UNM.
One of four candidates for vice president was ruled ineligible because of insufficient residency at UNM, and one of three presidential· candidates was ruled ineligible because he lacks the required number of credit hours.
The ASUNM Constitution states all candidates must have at least a 2.0 grade-point average. Candidates for president must have earned 75 credit hours and have attended UNM two semesters immediately prior to their election. Candidates for Senate must have attended UNM one semester immediately prior to their election.
No Troops for Capitol Anti-War Protest WASHINGTON (UPI)- The
Nixon administration, in an apparent major shift in attitude, has decided to give anti·war demonstrators virtually a free reign when they ,hold a huge rally here April 24.
For the first time, federal officials have ordered no standby alert for U.S. troops to cope with possible trouble,
"We don't want to overreact," a Justice Department spokesman
Watchman in Dorms Could Halt Vandals
A night watchman began patrolling the residence halls area April 7 in an attempt by the Housing Office to discourage vandalism and thefts.
In a memo to residents of the dorms, William Bierbaum said the program "is directed at reducing the traffic, .. _use and occasional abuse of the residence hall facilities by non-residence hall persons.''
The unarmed watchman will patrol the public areas of the dorms and the parking lots neur them in the late evening.
Frank Lucero, head resident of Coronado men's dormitory, said stereo equipment has been stolen from cars parked in the dorm lots.
The watchman will work in cooperation with the resident advisor staff in the halls.
said Friday. "We want to be ready and we want to be helpful."
"We don't really anticipate any need for troops in buildings or anywhere else. There won't be an alert there in the city."
The only law enforcement group visible for the rally and March sponsored by the National Peace Action Coalition next Saturday will be the 5100 -member District of Columbia police force, a department spokesman said.
The Justice Department said its negotiators had conferred with spokesmen for the peace group for. several weeks.
''There has been excellent communication and we have been able to resolve all questions," a negotiator said.
Federal officials agreed to issue
a permit allowing crowds, forecast • at 50,000 persons for planning purposes, to assemble on the Ellipse, a circular park between the White House and the Washington Monument grounds. The demonstrators will march no closer than a block from the White House.
Last May 9, troops were stationed inside several government buildings during a rally protesting the American invasion of Cambodia. About 100,000 demonstrators turned out for that demonstration.
A federal court judge Friday granted the government a temporary restraining order prohibiting the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VV A W) from establishing a campsite on the Capitol Mall.

Thin clads Wallop ASU in Dual By JIM PENSIERO
The Lobo track team won 14 first places, including four sweeps, out of 16 events enroute to crushing WAC rival Arizona State 101·44 in the season's .linal home meet.
The high point of the meet, held Saturday night at sparsely attended University stadium, was a brilliant performance in the half-mile by Swedish import Tom Ericson. Ericson cut the tape at 1:48.8, breaking the old meet record and bettering his best performance by a lOth of a second. Ericson, who got the lead early in the race and never relinquished it, was followed across the wire by teammates Reid Cole and Matt Henry with times of 1:50.6 and 1:53.5 respectively.
A second sweep was recorded in the shot put competition when teammates Randy Witluow (53·1), Rodney Wallace (48·51/z)

and ·Jim Braye (47-4'h) successfully eradicated ASU competition. The trio also swept the discus with Wallace placing first With Ills best throw of lhe season at 160·11, followed by Braye at 160-7¥.. and Withrow at 141·91h.
Another strong showing was turned in by the Swedish duo of Ulf Johansson and Per Eric Smiding in the javelin. Johannson and Smiding easily defeated highly touted American record ·holder Mark Murro. Johannson placed first with a heave of 244-7 while teammate smiding placed second with 232·8, nipping Murro by six inches.
0 ther sterling performances were turned in by Walter Henderson in the 100· and 200·yard dashes, Chuck Steffes in the triple jump, Rick Mauck in the high hurdles, lgmar Jernberg in the pole valut and Fernando Abuguttas in the high jump.
Abuguttas, an exchange st.udent from Peru and the only person in UNM history to high jump seven
• feet, lead a sweep in that event, by beating teammate Ingemar Nyman by one inch. Lobo Pat Flemming took third at 6·2.
Chuck Steffes was a double winner when he set a meet record in the triple jump with a leap of 50·2. Earlier in the evening he won the long jump at 23·11.
Other meet records were set by high hurdler Rick Mauck who's time of :14.1 beat chief rival Darby Jones of ASU by a tenth of a second. A final meet record was set by pole vaulter Ingemar Jernberg who cleared the bar at 15·8.
Overall it was a very successful evening for the Lobos who were shut out of only one event, the two·mile .run.
Baseballers Sweep Twin Bill fron1 Miners; 5-1 11-3 ' Lobos Win Series, 2-1; Face Arizona This Weekend
By MARK SANCHEZ UNM used the fine pitching of
Joe Waid, Jim Kremmel and Bill Irwin to grab a pair of victories from the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) Saturday, 5-1 and 11·3, at Lobo field.
The two wins followed a nightcap loss the Lobos experienced Friday when the Miners took the opening game of the three game series at the Sports Stadium, 5-2.
Chuey Armandariz was tagged with the loss Friday as the Lobos were able to rally many times, putting men on base in almost every inning, but could not get them across the plate for the needed runs.
The story was different Saturday, however, with the Wolfpack hitters peppering the Miner defense with a strong attack, and pitching that saw UTEP hitters subdued for a total of 14 hits for both games.
Joe Waid pitched the first game • for the Lobos scattering six hits
and upping his record to 6-2,

making him the Lobos' winningest pitcher this year.
Waid got help from his teammates as they provided a stingy defense allowing only one extra base hit in the Wolfpack dominated contest.
The second game saw Jim Kremmel take the mound, pitching for five and a third innings, before he got into trouble and was relieved by Bill Irwin who went on to save the game for Kremmel's fourth win of the season against as many defeats.
Kremmel pitched well for five innings and should be healthy enough now to be taken off the injured list.
Backing up the pitchers all day was the Lobo infield led by Armando Reyes at second, Billy Smith at short stop, Larry Minarsich at third and Ron Adair at first with Gary Stewart behir1d the plate.
Minarsich played exceptionally well, not committing any errors, punching out two singles a double and racking up one stolen base.

Catcher Stewart knocked in two runs in the second game for the Lobo cause along with two runs he scored during the day.
Adair and Smith got into the hitters column by blasting a triple apiece as Smith batted in three runs to lead the Lobos ithat department Saturday.
UTEP pitchers had a bad day on the mound giving up 14 walks, six of which culminated at one point in three Lobos runs in the sixth, with Smith getting his triple to clean the bases.
The Lobos who seem to play better in nice weather strengthened their chances for winning the southern division
crown by winning the all important first series, warming them up for their upcoming series against Arizona, the defending WAC champions.
Kremmel's victory was an important one for hism as it tentatively took him off the injured list, and evened out his record at 4-4 for the season.
Arizona, billed as the strongest team in the WAC, will have to come back with wins over the Lobos to stay in the race for the crown, as they dropped a doubleheader to interstate rival Arizona State Saturday.

From the Triton Times
When in the course of evolution it becomes necessary for one species to denounce the notion of independence from all the rest, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the interdependent station to which the natural laws of the cosmos have laced them, a decent respect for the opinions of all mankind requires that they should declare the conditions which impel them to assert their interdependence.
We hold htese . truths to be self-evident that all species have evolved with equal and unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to insure these rights, nature has instituted certain principles from the capabilities of the planet's life-support system. That whenever any behavior by members of one species becomes destructive of these principles, it is the function of other members of that species to alter or abolish such behavior and to re-establish the theme of interdependence with all life, in such a form and in accordance with those

natural principles, that will effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dic.tate that cultural values long established should not be altered for light and transient causes, that mankind is more disposed to suffer from asserting a vain notion of independence than to right themselves by abolishing that culture to which they are now accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations of these principles of interdependence, envinces a subtle design to reduce them, throughabsolute despoliation of the planet's fertility to a state of ill will, bad health and great anxiety, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such notions of independence from other species and from the life-support system, and to provide new guards for the re-establishment of the security and maintenance of these principles. Such has been the quiet and patient sufferage of all species, and such is now the necessity which constrains the species Homo Sapiens to reassert the principles of interdependence. The history of the present notiori of independence is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations all having indirect effect the establishment of an absolute tyranny over life. To
~
prove this let facts be submitted to a candid world.
1) People have refused to recognize the roles of other species and the importance of natural principles for growth of the food they require. 2) People have refused to recognize that they are interacting with other species in an evolutionary process. 3) People have fouled the waters that all life partakes of. 4) People have transformed the face of the earth to enhance their notion of independence from it and in so doing have interrupted many natural processes that they are dependent upon. 5) People have contaminated the common household with substances that are foreign to the life processes which are causing many organisms great difficulties. 6) People have massacred and extincted fellow species for their feathers and fur, for their skins and tusks. 7) People have persecuted most persistently those known as coyote,. lion, wolf and fox because of their dramatic role in the expression of interdependence. 8) People are proliferating in such an irresponsible manner as to threaten the survival of all species. 9) People have warred upon one another which has brought great sorrow to themselves and a vast
destruction to the homes and the food supplies of many living things. 10) People have denied others the right to live to completion their interdependencies to the full extent of the capabilities.
We, therefore, among the mortal representatives of the eternal process of life and evolutionary principles, in the mutual humbleness, explicitly stated, appealing to the ecological consciousness of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do solemnly publish and declare that all species are interdependent; that they are all free to realize these relationships to the full extent of their capabilities; that each species is subservient to the requirements of the natural processes that sustain all life. And for the support of this declaration with a firm reliance on all other members of our species who understand their consciousness as a capability, to assist all of us and our brothers to interaet in order to realize a life process that manifests its maximum potential of diversity, vitality and planetary fertility to ensure the continuity of life on earth.

1971 NM Legislature Killed Most Environmental Bills 31f,rz~1 On 3 Qt))
4/.?~/?1 eon I
(Editor's Note: To day's roundup of New Mexico's environmental legislation is part of The Lobo's special Earth Week series. Tomorrow The Lobo will carry an interview with Brink Jackson, visiting architecture lecturer.)
By BARBARA MORGAN A majority of proposed
environmental legislation perished in committees and unfavorable floor votes at the 1971 state legislative session. Two major bills successfully ran the House and Senate gauntlet and will create an agency to oversee correction of pollution problems and bring the state up to federal anti-pollution standards.
One of the landmark bills to survive the scrutiny of the New Mexico legislature, the environmental improvement agency bill, sponsored by Rep. James Koch (D-Santa Fe) creates
the nucleus of a single state agency to investigate and oversee solutions to environmental problems.
The other bill that outlived many of its fellows establishes an environmental policy. Sponsored by Sen. Fred Gross (R-Bern. ), it is designed to set up machinery to recommend legislative action to bring New Mexico up to federal standards of pollution control.
The environmental quality council will also require state agencies to submit environmental impact statements before initiating new programs, and is patterned after the National Environmental Protection Act.
Complimentary Bills Both bills are planned to
compliment each other and give state government an overview of the region's environmental problems and their solutions.
The environmental council will recommend legislation for the 1972 legislative session which is limited to consideration of bills de a I i ng with finances and taxation, those issues the governor requests action on or bills vetoes during this year's legislative session.
Disappointed in Legislature A strong supporter of many
environmental bills, Gross said he was generally disappointed in the legislature's performance on environmental issues. He said he plans to re-introduce bills that were vetoes by Gov. Bruce King, in additional to those measures the governor himself brings to the lawmakers' attention.
"Introduction of conservation and environmental bills will hinge largely on federal requirements on
air quality that New Mexico must comply with," said Gross, who blamed the large number of defeated bills on Democrats in the legislature.
"They are very parochial and don't identify with New Mexico's problems, but concentrate on the interests of their districts around the perimphery of the state," Gross added.
Rep. Walter Martinez (D-Valencia) has already predicted King will probably ask the 1972 legislature to consider ''meaningful environmental legislation."
Martinez as well as Gross, expressed disappointment at the performance of the 1971 legislature. However he was more critical than Gross claiming that "the legislature did not approve anything of significance" in the field of environmental protection.
Subdivision Controls 11 highly contested bills
dealing with land use and subdivisions were introduced and defeated at the recent session. Support for the bills to regulate the use of subdivided land came from many conservation groups throughout the state.
The Control Clearing House, a distribution center for environmental protection information, issued a statement after strong opposition by land developers helped kill the land and subdivision measures.
The Clearing House claimed ':legislators repeatedly yielded to political pressure on crucial votes. Subdividers never failed to lobby effectively and guarantee a favorable floor vote. Any bill that even carried a hint of state

As they marched, the protesters shouted such slogans as "power to the people," "hi-di, hi-di, hi-di·ho, Mr. Nixon's got to go" and "peace hO\V."
They complained about not being allowed inoide the sprawling cemetery, but held a memorial service outside the heavy iron gates and left two wreaths of roses, asking that they be placed at the tomb of the unknowns in honor of Americans who diP-d in Indochina.

Liquor Mak~er Gets Ok~ay To Use Wolfpacl~ Symbol
By ANNE PLUMMER The lobo, wolf emblem of the
University, seems to be public property, available to any company who wants to use it to promote its product.
In a meeting April 16 the Regents discussed plans for Ezra Brooks company to use the lobo symbol in producing a special collector's item bottle. "The Regents agreed no formal action was needed," said John Durrie, university secretary yesterday.
Ezra Brooks has approached Bob Epstein of the .Lobo Club for approval of its proposed lobo bottle. The Lobo Club is an independent organization which supports the athletic department. Durrie explained that since the Lobo Club is a separate legal entity the Regents did not feel it would be appropriate to tell the Lobo Club what they can or cannot do.
Epstein, who was not at the meeting, said the club "was trying to come up with a policy before the problems arise. There is no previously established policy on who can use the lobo."
Eptstein said he has had many phone calls and visits from people who would like to use the lobo on their product. Texaco produced license plates with the lobo emblem. They gave the Lobo Club a dollar for each plate made. Texaco has also sold a basketball with the Iobo·emblem ou it.
Ezra Brooks and several businesses, which Epstein would not name, would like to use the lobo emblem. When asked if the Lobo Club had thCl say on who could use the emblem, Epstein said, "No, not really. The Regents have the say if there is any say at all."
The emblem used by Texaco on the license plates was n wolf with t.he hat, which has since been
registered with the state as the official emblem of the Lobo Club, said Epstein. The club also uses this emblem on stationery and sale items such as cocktail glasses and ties.
The Ezra Brooks proposal to put oui a lobo bottle, "is just a public relations gimmick," said Eptstein. "Ezra Brooks has done this for North Carolina, Arkansas and Nebraska. They will only make 6000 bottles and no more." They will also make picture postcards of the bottle for the Lobo Club to sell.
Epstein emphasized that the question of approving the Ezra Brooks plan is secondary to him. "The major question is who can use the lobo head."
"We wouldn't want anyone using the lobo on a product that took advantage of the University," said. He did not cite an example.
Epstein said the Lobo Club will go ahead and make an agreement with Ezra Brooks if no disapproval is expressed by the Regents. All income would go directly to the athletic department, he said.
Although Epstein seemed concern about the formation of a general policy for the. use of the lobo emblem, Durrie said the issue was not presented that ·way by Horn at the Regents meeting. He said there was no discussion at the meeting· about the possibility of the University retaining the rights to the lobo emblem.
The Regents assumed that the Ezra Brooks proposal would mean that the Lobo Club would trademark a particular emblem of the lobo, Durric reported.
He added, "If this were to be done, the regents felt the same privilege ought to be extended to any competitor."
