Commander Lloyd M. Bucher after returning from the sadistic
harassment of the Nqrth Korean government must face a naval court
of inquiry. Undoubtably the question that must be answered at the
former skipper of the U.S.S. Pueblo trial is wlfen should a captain
relinquish command of
his
vessel to a foreign authority.
A similar incident to the Bucher case was the Japanese strafing of
the U.S.S. Panay in the early rounds of the Sino-Japanese war. Yet
naval tradition was not tarnished as the Panay commenced firing at
the Japanese bombers arid continued her shelling till the order to
abandon ship· swept along her gutted deck; Slowly the Panay's
lifeboats left her as she ·disappeared from .the surface of the Yangtze
river.
The Bucher case merits national headlines not because of
America's loss of one seaman, but of its loss of honor. Not since the
early years of the 19th century when the officers of the H.M.S.
Leopard boarded the Chesapeake did the Navy ever have one of her
ship's controlled by a foreign power in peacetime. Perhaps if Bucher
had given orders for the Pueblo to head for open sea and come what
may this naval inquiry would never convene; a committee to pass
out medals posthumously to widows and mothers would· be more
convenient.
It
is not for anyone to pass judgement on the Pueblo's commander
except for five admirals and Senator R. Russell of Georgia. The Navy
owned Bucher, his crew, and his ship; it is they who must decide his
fate for violating Navy regulations, Article 0730.

Still Asking
Why
At last modifications have been introduced to reduce core-
requirements and allow the students more flexibility in developing
an intelligent schedule. Earlier attempts at a broad revision of the
core had been defeated, perhaps because faculty members felt
revision was being bull-dozed through the APC without sufficient
research. This minor change in the present curriculum comes after
the APC and the
vast
majority of the faculty felt a reduction was
needed since the number of credits for graduation had·been reduced.
One question left unanswered after last week's plenary session
concerns the Philosophy Department. With Theology requirements
reduced to six credits, others expected the philosophy co,re to be
similarly
modified. In fa_ct,. Thomas Casey, who heads the
department, stated at the plenary session that he and all but one
member of his department would not object to the philosophy core
being redµced to six - across.the board.
It
seems a bit ironic that one
vote within the Philosophy Department has · stifled the elective
growth of all but business and economics majors. Why this was

Getting back to the concept of

threat,
I would also like to
propose to you that too often
the threat exists
in
the mind;-
Isn't it true that all too often we
are told whom we should fear?
Isn't it true that the mass media-
do es an effective
job
of
convincing the American public
who the enemy is?~.eme.mb.er the
sneaky Japs of 1world War
II?
Well, they are now" a'fairly close
ally. They have been effectively
replaced by the sneaky Viet
Cong who hide in trees and have·
something to do with gorillas.-
To this day the mass media does
a fairly good job of making
savages of the American Indians,

alone has pretty well
convinced the White, New York
population that the Black man
is
a sexually potent- rapist that is
out after their daughters and
wives. Our literature has, in, no
uncertain
terms, told us that
white is good and pure and that
black is bad and impure.
.
I will grant the possibility
·of
threats
-
to
our
possessions. But
are our possessions to have more
value
than human - life itself?
Aren't we more valuable ·than
what we 'have?
If
you "feel that
you could justify beating a man
for trying
-
to take your wallet,
your sports jacket, your car, or
even your girlfriend, then you
must
admit
that you place
greater value on things than on
people.·
Unfortunately, it is impossible
for me to fully communicate my
beliefs on pacifism to you
in
a

short feature article. Much of
what I feel will surely be lost
and
misinterpreted
in any
attempt at a logical verbalization
of my ideas. For beliefs too
often defy logical presentations.

Third, and most important at

Will
32 units be enough, even in
September? Should we plan on

(e.g.

we want to have co-ed dorms?

Two Relays
For Colby
The mile relay, which is set for
the
Garden
Invitational this
Friday,
will
once again see
action on March I, in the Colby
College Invitational Track Meet,
to be held at Waterville, Maine.
This time the original four will
probably be split up as Marist
will enter both a mile relay and a
two mile relay._
