By PHIL NEWSOM npi Foreign News Analyst Anchored firmly at either side of the Bosphorus Strait dividing European and Asian Turkey in a huge chain. In time of war it can be raised. to block either entry into or exit from the Black Sea. The straits of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles are wholly controlled by Turkey under the Montreaux Convention drawn up by the major world powers in 1936. It guarantees free passage of merchant vessels and limited passage to warships unless Turkey herself should be at war. It w^s within these provisions that Turkey agreed to the legality of the visit by two U.S. destrayers to the Black Sea, -Ten questions that the rights of the non-daters be respected and we will urge that university administrators continue to consider them in their planning. 8. Even though I.U. Trustees, administrators, faculty, a majority of students and denominational chaplains may favor open visitation many parents are opposed. They pay the bills. Shouldn’t they have a say about such matters? This is a difficult question to deal with. First of all, the plan recognizes that parents continue to have the same responsibility they would have if their sons and daughters were not in the university. This means that parents and students can choose a residence hall with or without visitation privileges. Many parents recognize that a state university is not a superparent. Many also realize that young people of college age who are not in college (in the armed services, living and working in communities away from parents, etc. ) are normally out from under direct parental control. Finally at some age a person must assume responsibility for his or her own actions. Many parents and students feel that today’s college students have reached that age. 9. I understand that over 800 students moved out of I.U. residential halls this Fall. Was this a protest against visitation? No, no student listed the new visitation privileges as their reason for moving out of residential halls. Furthermore almost all of the 800 moved to housing with the same or greater privileges than university housing (fraternities, private apartments, etc.). However, the dropping of the requirement that students must live in university housing does permit parents to make other arrangements for housing such as a supervised private dwelling. 10. I sent my son to I.U. for an education. It doesn’t seem to me that open visitation serves the best interests of education. This is a most important issue. Many faculty members believe that life in the residential halls is an important part of the educational process and that the type of conduct frequently associated with dormitory life (noise, anti-intellectual bull sessions, general horse-play, etc.) does not lead to educational maturity. There is some evidence that visitation is making the dormitories better places in which to study. It is hoped that by being able to be around peers of the opposite sex, life will be more normal and less frenetic and therfore more hospitable to both intellectual and personal grwoth.

Possible Nixon selections NEW YORK (UPI) - Richard M. Nixon and his aides have been silent about the president, elect’s cabinet selections but educated guesses indicate the line-up will be something like

this:

— Attorney General: John N. Mitchell, senior partner in Nixon's former New York law firm and a close personal and political adviser who managed Nixon’s campaign. — Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare: Lt. Gov. Robert H. Finch of California, a close personal friend of Nixon’s who reflects his thinking position he holds. — Secretary of Housing and Urban Development; Daniel P. Moynihan, a Harvard sociologist who has been advising Nixon during the transition period. He is a Democrat. — Secretary of Transportation: Gov. John A. Volpe of Massachusetts, a millionaire builder who headed Nixon's campaign effort among ethnic minorities. -Commerce Secretary: Gov. George Romney of Michigan, who was chairman of the board of American Motors. — Treasury Secretary: David M. Kennedy, chairman of the Continental Illinois Bank and Trust Co. of Chicago. — Postmaster General: Winton M. “Red” Blount, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, who was active in Nixon’s campaign in the south. — Secretary of Labor; Either James J. Reynolds, currently the under secretary, or John J. Gilhooley, former commissioner of the New York City Transit Authority. — Secretary of the Interior; A western governor, probably John A. Love of Colorado or Tim M. Babcock of Montana. — Secretary of Agriculture: probably a midwesterner chosen from among the following: John M. Zwach, Republican congressman of Minnesota; Mark Andrew, Republican congress, man of North Dakota; A1 Shock, president of a dairy firm in Sioux Falls, S.D.; or Clarence Palmby, an economist and formerly Department of Agriculture under President Eisenhower. C. Douglas Dillon, a former Secretary of the Treasury under Dwight Eisenhower and once and undersecretary of state, had been guessed as a likely nominee for Secretary of State. But Dillon told reporters late Monday he had decided to remain an investment banker in New York City, and political observers went back to the drawing board to try to dope out Nixon’s choice for the vital cabinet post.

raising politicians, priests and hoodlums. Hell’s Kitchen was a can of beer on a hot night and a dock walloper sitting in his undershirt. West 79th was the Columbia Yacht Club where Mrs. Cadwallader of Philadelphia knitted on her 300-foot yacht, the one with the solid gold faucets. The Tombs had a Bridge of Signs for men who had just been told by a black-robed judge the date of death. The poor in tenements chipped in to save a family about to be evicted. In a neighborhood dispute, a rabbi or a priest was judge and jury. There were block dances in summer with colored lights, spinning wheels of fortune, a pick-up band and steaming cauldrons of frankfurters and sauerkraut. I stood on the bridle path in Central Park with a black policeman. He was too young. “You travel in pairs,” I said. He nodded. “It’s safer,” he said. I asked him what would happen if Jesus Christ walked this bridle path today. He grinned. “This one?” he said. “He’d be mugged before He got around the first turn.” The city has lost its character.

the timing, there seems little doubt that the visit of the two U.S. vessels is a bit of tit-for-tat brinkmanship demonstrating that if the Russians can visit

the Mediterranean, the U.S. also can visit the Black Sea. If, as has been suggested from Washington, the United States and the Soviet Union are trying to complete arrangements for talks on arms limitations, the question of possible aggression in either the Mediterranean or the Black Sea can be a further subject of conversation.

Caught in the middle is Turkey, which although a member of NATO, also has been trying to improve her relations with the Soviet Union. Control of the straits is a question going back to ancient times. Russian czars coveted not only the straits but the city of Constantinopole, later to become Istanbul, as well for its

religious value. Peter the Great, who established the Russian navy, believed that without an entry to the Mediterranean, Russia never could compete on equal terms with other world powers. The last great challenge came in 1945. The Russians—under Josef Stalin demanded in return for a Russo-Turkish friendship pact

that they be given bases on the straits, that Turkey return to Russia the wild northeastern Turkish districts of Kars and Ardahan, revision of the Montreaux Convention and acceptance of Balkan changes in favor of smaller nations. Russia maintained continued heavy pressure through the remainder of the year, even increasing her demands for

territory. The crisis ended with Turkish acceptance of a U.S. proposal that the straits be opened to warships of Russia, Romania and Bulgaria at all times. Anchored firmly at either side of the Bosphorus Strait dividing European and Asian Turkey is a huge chain. In time of war it can lie raised to block either entry.
