Another possible result of the Kansas City ruling, having to do with the fear of many people that students will stage political “takeovers” in communities where the college population outnumbers the nonstudent population,is not as easy to foresee. All these court decisions have one thing in common: Theyiliustrate the snowball effect that occurs whenever we attempt to translate broad human rights into spe-ific law. They touch upon one of the fundamental questions of civilized existence: Where do the rights of one person or group end and those of another person or group begin? In this country,it started with the Declaration of Independence. Foreign News View Question Raised Again: What HappensAfterPres. Tito Goes? By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Anslyst In the closing weeks of 1971 the Communist party of Yugoslavia survived its worst crisis in 50 years.In its smouldering aftermath the question arises as to whether President‘rito’s central government reacted with overkill Croatian nationalists or whether the Croatian events are the forerunners of Yugoslavie’s eventual dissolution. Forthe ,resentit proved without question that the 79-year-old Tito's wordstill is law. Butit raised even more forcefully than ever before the question of what happens after Tito goes. Among Yugoslavia’s six republics, Croatia and Serbia are the largest, Croatia with a population of about 4.5 million and Serbia with approximately twice as many. Croatia Most Advanced Of them all, Croatia is the most advanced and Croatian nationalists feelthat their living standards could approach the highest in Europe if only they were relieved of the economic burden placed upon them hy the other republics, some of whose feet remain close to the Middle Ages. see Croat nationalists resent the power exercised from Belgrade, seat of the central mt, which is in Serbia, and difbetween them are deep-seated, beginning with alphabet and religion, Orin Serbia, Roman Catholic in Croatia, Latin alphabetin Croatia and the Cyrillic { Serbia.

In recent months there have erupted among Croatian emigres in Western Europe for an independent Croatia to be established under Soviet protection. ASuggestion Fihas Dee ieee eee oe might provide air ard naval bases to th Soviet Union, an action which would Sci alter the military balance of southern Europe and the Mediterranean. Most disturbing to those who believe that the dismemberment of Yugoslavia can be of benefit only to the Soviet Union is the fact that Tito’s efforts to assure stability after his own passing and his moves granting increased autonomy to the states within the Yugoslav federation have notsatisfied the Croat extremists. Economically, Croatians have complained that they bring in some 40 per cent of Yugoslavia’s foreign currency earnings but have been permitted to keep only a small percentage for themselves. Despite the obvious and longstanding strains within the Yugoslav federation there are bose who claim there was no real Croatian crisis undl Tito cver-reacted and thata strike which started with a few hundred students in no way justified the purge that followed. ¢ i the log so interesting wasthe fact that per Albu ma admit, my ex- m , the airman’s name was Don Zumwelt. an older brother ‘composing room foreman Charlie.
