Trustees Meet to

Approve Budget

by Nancy Harrell

The Board of Trustees will

meet Monday fo consider the in-

crease in tuition, dorm rates and

service charges recommended

by the University Senate.

Also on the agenda is the

mandatory student.activities fee

and financing of the library and

Learning Resource Center.

In past years the Trustees have

approved Senate-proposed

budget increases with little

revision.."

The recommended increases

include:"

? $22 per course increase for

undergraduate tuition, making a

course $322.

? $28 per semester increase

for a double-occupancy dorm

room, making a room $385 per

semester. ,

? ?

? ?' ? $6 per year increase for a

campus parking; permiC making

the fee $20 per year.

The above figures mean a 7.3

per cent general increase for un-

dergraduates. The Senate also

recommended a minimum 7.2

per cent increase for non-degree

registration, off-campus courses,

summer sessions, part-time law

students and graduate students.

After calling for a tuition in-

crease, the Senate recom-

mended expenditure reductions

and a seven per cent cost-of-

living increase for full-time

faculty, staff ; members and

graduate fellows.

There proposals for the .

75 AU budget, as all other issues

presented to the Board of

Trustees, are effective if ap-

proved by a majority of those

Trustees present and voting,

when there is a quorum.

Last year undergraduate

tuition rose $8 per course, a 2.7

per cent increase. The- Student

Confederation, backed by the

administration, proposed an

alternate " smaller tuition jn-

crease which the Trustees rejec-

ted. The SC made no alternate

proposals this year; Brian Foss,

SC President, said, "there was no

alternative."

A lso last year the Trustees

discussed offering students an

optional fifth course at no ad-

ditional charge, saying they were

concerned with "giving students

more for their money."

At the time Trustees said if for

some reason the fifth course op-

tion did not prove feasible, other

measures would be considered

to academically justify the

tuition increase. V

However the idea was aban-

doned last April when the

Provost Advisory Committee

found it "financially unsound^'

and bound to cost the university

over $75,000. It has not been

mentioned since. / 'v\.

The Trustees will meet 2 pm

Monday in the SIS lounge. The

meeting will be. closed to all

students except the SC and

The co-editors of the graduate

paper say they will resign if the

graduate council does not

rescind a strict 11-point gufde-

line detailing how the editors

should run the paper.

The guideline was first used

in the current February issue of

The Graduate.

Joy Epps, one of the editors,

claims the paper is being cen-

sored. "As I define censorship,

they say what articles can or

cannot appear; that is what they

are doing, Epps says.

Epps' criticism is of the eighth

rule which says the editors are

responsible for ^the .content of

the paper "subject-to- authori-

zation" of the graduate council.

tly-appointed president of the

"house-organ" for the council.

In this regard, Postles says the

rules "are guidelines for a house

organ and not a newspaper."

In a front-page editorial in the

February issue, Kranz and Epps

say that by being a "house--,

organ" the paper will become

"the mouthpiece of the coun-

cil.", Gilbert, president, of the

council, calls this-"absurd."

Both* sides agree the paper

should inform graduate students

at AU about what is happening

in the university. However, their

difference, occurs in how the

stories-are presented.

" Gilbert says some of the ar-

ticles are "biased." In particular

Gilbert .says a story telling what

the graduate council has done

this year "is'a biased article." He

says- the story only told what"

happened in the meetings and

not what the council members

do outside the meetings.

In the lead to the story, the

author says the information' was

taken^ from the minutes of the

council's meetings.

Kranz feels the guidelines are a

"reaction ? to particles printed' in

the past." He says this is art un-

fair judgement since the editors

"were.. rushed.forT the,first issue

and there was little graduate

news :at the time." , ?? '

"I don't think they had any

reason to. react as they^did;"

Kranz says." '

Both Postles and Gilbert say

they would like to keep Kranz

and Epps on the paper.

However, Gilbert says "the

paper is going to follow the

guidelines."

" Some of the guidelines change

the name ' of the paper from

Sedan Chair Two, to The

Graduate; say the paper will be a

house organ of the graduate

student body; and make the

Philli ps Clams, Dems Elit e

by Nathan Rosen

The Democratic party is in-

creasingly becoming the party of

elite Americans, declared Kevin

Phillips in a Monday night ad:

dress. .. . '

Author of ' The Emerging

Republican. Majority, Phillips

portrayed the Democratic party

as becoming more and more

representative of highly

educated, prosperous voters.

"There is a strong trend towards

liberalism among the affluent,"

he said, adding that "areas like

Scars dale, the east side of

Manhattan, rich suburbs of

Boston and Chicago are the

emerging strongholds of. the

Democratic party."

Phillips employed a historica

analysis to demonstrate what hi

described as the pro-Democratic

s hift of the wealthier classes. Ir

the era of FDR, he said, affluenl

communities were strongholds

of Republicanism while tfie pooi

voted overwhemingly

Democratic. Now, he said, the

trend is beginning to reverse.

He characterized the new

Democratic strength among the

affluent as centered among

college-educated professionals

in such fields as communica-

tions, social research, and

oublishing?the , "knowledge

Droduction" fields, as Phillips

described them.

P hillips portrayed the

Democratic party itself as ar

"obsolescent, spent, divided

coaltion, unable to agree on

policies." He said that Watergate

provided a "year of respite" for

the Democrats, but said the

party is "in no better shape as to

what they stand for" in the.after-

math of Watergate.

He predicted a substantial

Republican loss in the upcoming

74 congressional elections. "The

Republicans should lose about

25-30 seats'in the House," and

"a few in the Senate," he said.

Republican losses will no

create an overw helming

Democratic majority in Congress,

according to Phillips. "They (the

Democrats) won't be able tc

pass whatever crackpot legis-

lation they want to," he said.

On the subject of Pres idential

impeachment, Phillips asserted

t hat "while people don't like

Nixon, they don't like impeach-

ment either...But if Nixon does

go, Gerald Ford could become

almost invulnerable as a incum-

bent President in 1976." He

cited the historical consistency

which asserted the emergence" of

dominance as a result of .solid

majorities in the south, midwest

and western states.

Raspberry Sees Red

by Gary Gerstein

"By what logic does the chief

suspect in a case pick the chief

prosecutor? ," asked William

Raspberry, political columnist

for The Washington Post, talking

about the selection of Leon

Jaworski as special prosecutor in

the Watergate investigation.

Raspberry spoke last Sunday

night during an informal meeting

with the public, at the Dumbar-

ton United Methodist Church in

Georgetown.

The columnist said he feels

sorry for Senate Minority Leader

Sen. Hugh Scott (R-Pa ). Rasp-

berry stated that "all Scott saw

and heard were Nixon-selected

transcripts and recordings that

really didn't prove anything at

a ll. Scott was made into the

1976 Democratic Presidential

nomination, Sen. Edward Ken-

nedy (D-Mass.) has not taker

the lead in attacking Nixon or

Watergate because of the spec-

tre of Kennedy's own Chappa-

quidick scandal, said Raspberry.

Raspberry said he has heard

no one accuse Kennedy of mur-

der.- "The worse that I've heard

said about Sen. Kennedy and

Chappaqu iddick is that after

realizing that Mary Jo Kopechne

could not be saved, Kennedy

reacted that night as a politician

trying to save his own skin in-

stead of as a sensitive, feeling,

human being."

Raspberry sees a dilemma

w here the rights of newspeople

tial outweigh the rights of de-

fendants to face their accusers in

Dorters to reveal their sources.

scapegoat by the administration.

Gerry Ford was smart enough

not to look at the 'evidence'."

The blame for the 18-minute

"Rose Mary Woods tape gap"

was placed by Raspberry on

either someone very close to

Nixon who felt a misdirected

sense of loyalty or on the

President himself.

"Those are the only two

plausible explanations," Rasp-

berry said.

The leading contender for the

Raspberry said "those in-

volved in Watergate use the trick

of blaming the press for the

crisis, claming that Watergate is

just another example of dirty

politics and is. nothing special.

They attempt to divert attention

from the scandal itself."

A Long Shot ; \

Maryland We ighs Pri vate Use of Marij uana

by Steve Piacente -

A bill similar to the law which

recently decriminalized private

marijuana use in Oregon is

currently being considered by

the Maryland Legislature. The

forerunner of these crusades is a

non-profit public interest lobby

called NORML: National

Organization for the Reform of

Marijuana Laws.

According to R. Keith Stroup,

executive director of NORML,

"It would be a long shot if the

bill was passed this year."

However, NORML continues to

campaign from city to city for

marijuana law reform.

At NORML's central office in

Washington Stroup explained

the principles and objectives on

which the organization is based.

"We are not a pro-pot group nor

do we encourage or advocate

the use of marijuana. But we feel

that unjust laws, like the current

marijuana laws, do irreparable

harm to our entire legal system,"

he said. - ' ., - . ..

Stroup, admitted he 'and his

staff smoke marijuana oc-

casionally.

Stroup, 30, went on to say the

criminal approach is doing more

harm than good. Continuing and

encouraging research programs

were stressed.. "But," he said,

"we should use this information

to* allow the individual to make

an intelligent decision as to

w hether he wants to use

marijuana. We should not make

criminals out of those who

merely ignore our advice."

Stroup, v 'a"licensed attorney,

started the organization, in late

1970. With" four friends; he ap-

plied to about 10 foundations

for money and was turned down

10 times. Finally, the Playboy

Foundation, which was in-

terested in doing something on

marijuana law reform, gave

Stroup $5,000 and a beginning.

Later Stroup went to the

Playboy Foundation again and

demanded more money, saying,

"Let's either get into it or get out

of it."

Hugh Hefner agreed to give

NORML $100,000 a year and, "at

this point I realized we were

no longer get a criminal record

for being caught with marijuana

in Oregon. It is now regarded in

the same class as a parking

violation, which is subject to a

civil fine (the highest is $100).

Stroup said, "Our biggest op-

position is convincing the police

w ho have been arresting

marijuana smokers for 35 years.

We are trying to make them

realize that the marijuana

smoker does not fit the criteria

that characterizes a criminal.

This will be our major threat

against the passage of S.B.17."

very much into the business of

marijuana law reform." ?

Today, with Stroup as its

$18,000-a-year executive direc-

tor, NORML has .a paid staff of

seven (four in Washington, two

in New York, one in Boston) and

several hundred volunteer

organizers in about 40 cities.

NORML's local volunteers in-

clude lawyers, housewives,

students, freaks and at least one

Jaycee c hapter, in Hamden,

Conn., that is a NORML affiliate.

Backing the organization with

solid credibility is an Advisory

Board made up of about 20

PhDs, MDs, and MAs from

reputable universities.

Currently, NORML is coming

off a very successful campaign in

Oregon. Through the efforts of

Stroup and his coherts, one can

S.B.17 is the bill being con-

sidered by the Maryland

Legislature lessening criminal

penalties for marijuana use.

Dr. Gabriel Nahas of Colum-

bia University is responsible for

a new marijuana health report;

he claims it weakens the body's

defense against infection.

Stroup gives very little

credibility to Nahas' assertions.

Stroup said, "Comprehensive

studies by President Nixon s

National Commission on

Marijuana and Drug Abuse, as

well as intensive inquiries by

government commissions in

England and Canada, failed to

find the slightest evidence to

support Nahas' charge."

NORML, which has come up

against Nahas before, believes

his study "is based not on con-

cern for the welfare of the in-

dividual and the public, but on

self-righteous fanaticism."

NORML headquarters are at

2317 M Street NW in a four-story

converted house. Stroup, who

lives on the fourth floor, hopes

to eventually find a bigger place.

Still, he is satisfied with the

progress the organization has

made.

"NORML is not the only group

working for marijuana reform,

but it is the most prestigious .and

the most successful

organization: It has set the style

for an effective approach to the

issue " he said. /

Professor Dies

George Horning Jr., 75,

emeritus professor of law at the

Washington College of Law died

Monday of an apparent heart at-

tack.

Mr. Horning represented John

Sirica, chief US district court

judge last September in an-

swering a writ of mandamus,

which had been served on Sirica

by the White House in connec-

tion with the release of

presidential tapes.

The US Court of Appeals

upheld Sirica's right to inspect

the tapes after Mr. Horning ap-

peared before it.

While reaching emeritus status

four years ago, Mr. Horning still

managed to teach a full schedule

of classes at the law school.

The 1970 issue of the

American University Law Review

was dedicated to him.

He was a native of Wash-

ington. Mr. Horning is survived

by his wife, E lanor, three

daughters, and 11 grandchildren.

Funeral services were held

Thursday. A memorial service

will be held on campus at 9 am

today in the courtroom of the

Myers Law Building.

The family requests that in lieu

of flowers, sympathy be ex-

pressed through contributions to

the American Heart Association.

Georg e Cook: Years on Campus

Impoveri shed Library Hits Dead trigs

by Lloyd Tannenbaum

Commentary

An apparently extensive and

well-laid plan for the creation ol

a new university library has mel

nothing but dead ends at ahnosl

every turn. An increasingly

frustrated faculty and leery

student body awaits a library

that may never exist unless fund-

raisin g_ and operating ex-

ipenditifre! plans are revised, ac-

cording to informed sources.

Millidge Walker, chairperson

of the senate library committee,

stated that a high level of

cynicism on the part of the AU

faculty has been evident for a

long time concerning the ad-

ministration's fund-raising cam-

paign. Walker was skeptical

about whether an all-out fund-

raising effort to build the library

is being made.

When asked for reasons why

the university was having so

much difficulty in its library

plans, Walker stated, "One

reason was due to the fact that

the school is afraid of commer-

cial loans and the possibility of

going into debt. You see in the

1950's AU went into

bankruptcy."

Jim Seymore, director of

university relations and develop-

ment office, said the university is

totally committed to building a

new library, although the fund-

raising end of it is having its

problems. Seymore attributed*

the difficulty in raising funds to

inflation, non-existent HEW

building grants, lack of big donor

support and bad out-of-state

alumni reaction, among other

things. When asked why the

university chose not to build a

more opportune time, Seymore

said, "I just don't know."

The target date of the library

fund-raising campaign is Decem-

ber 1974. The Board of Trustees

Executive Committee, at its

meeting on Dec. 10, 1973,

recommended to the Board of

Trustees that "construction of

the- new Library and Learning

Resource Ce>iter be authorized

to begin as soon as the univer-

sity has at least $5 million in cash

and pledges in hand and/or the

university , has established a

financing program to cover the

unfunded financing necessary

on debt service terms within the

financial capability of the univer-

sity."

Pledges and gifts to the library

campaign processed as of Dec.

10, 1973 total $1,735,000. It has

taken the University almost

three years to reach that figure.

In an official report on the

present and past state of the

university library and the

li brary 's budget request for

1974/75, sent to the vice

president of academic affairs, it

was revealed that "the American

University has, as compared

with the majority of other com-

parable institutions; failed to

support its university library suf-

ficiently to enable it to serve

adequately the needs of faculty

and students in the variety and

levels of its academic programs."

The report further stated "the

University has, in the last several

years, allowed its increase in

support to faH considerably

behind cost increases resulting

in a . serious decline in the

library's capability to acquire

materials."

The library report mentioned

the recent Middle States Report,

a university accreditation

document, sayi ng "the one area

of, which the faculty and

students at AU seemed less con-

cerned about than would be

warranted was the "radical"

inadequacies of the University

Library."

Perhaps the most dramatic

statistic in the entire documen-

tation is the total circulation per

full-time student. At AU in fiscal

year (FY) 1972/73 this circulation

of materials was 21.25 as com-

pared with the Association of

Research Libraries 1967/68 mean

of 42.74.

Periodical titles per full-time

student have stayed at ap-

proximately the same level over

the past five years. In FY 1972/73

the figure was .35. This compares

with the mean of 12 libraries in

FY 1970/71 which was .78 and

Association of Research Libraries

FY 1967/68 which was .72/ In

other words, noted the report,

"we have less than half the titles

we should' have to be even

respectable."

Students Work Abroad

by Lesley Halpern

It's a country that has no trees,

no snakes, no railroads? yet a

very high standard of living. You

can see the sun at midnight

It's Iceland ? one of the eight

nations included in the Com-

parative Government Workshop

Abroad, the summer study tour

program of the School of

Government and Public Ad-

ministration. Since 1957, Emmet

V. Mittlebeeler has served as

professor and tour guide.'

"I had been in the Washington

Semester program originally (the

AU exchange program). So the

idea occured to me, why not

meet with government officials

outside the country?"

The workshop, scheduled to

begin July 1 and conclude A ug.

15, will study in Iceland,'Luxem-

bourg, East Germany, West Ger-

many, Poland, the Soviet Union,

Hungary and Austria..

In East Germany, Mittlebeeler

plans to take his students to

Weimar, the birthplace of the

Weimar Republic, Ger many's

government before the Nazis.

Other German cities on the

tour are:

? Eisenhach, the birthplace of

Jo hann Sebastian Bach.

? Potsdam, famous for the

World War II conference.

? Dresden, which is loaded

with Baroque art.

? Wittenberg, w here Martin

Luther posted his thesis on

church doors in 1517.

The students will also study in

Warsaw, most of which has been

rebuilt after heavy World War II

destruction.

Mittlebeeler has scheduled a

prolonged stay in the Soviet

Union. "We'll visit three places

tourists rarely. see ? Latvia,

Estonia and Lithuania. And of

course, Leningrad/'

The travel cost and , tuition is

$2,057. This includes two meals

a day in every country except

Austria,. Germany and Luxemb-

ourg, w here only one meal a day

is provided.

Solzh enitsyn Honored

by Karen Warmkessel v;i-.

Leading members of the area's

academic community, residents

and students gathered he're

Tuesday, night to honor a man

whose writings have made him

almost a modern-day martyr for

freedt>m ^ throughout . the

Western world.

That day> Soviet novelist Alex-

ander Solzhenitsyn was arrested

in Moscow, culminating weeks

of Harassment by Soviet authori-

ties trying to discredit his new

book,' Gufag Archipelago.

The meeting was originally

called by the Washington Ad

Hoc Committee for Intellectual

Freedom,:which is comprised of

faculty representatives from the

area's major universities, to high-

light the plight of the author and

to call for an end to the Soviet

government's abusive treatment.

?B ut . Solzhenitsyn's arrest

prompted a. tougher commit-

ment by the group in the form of

a revised open letter to top

Soviet officials and President

Nixon which denounced the

persecution of individuals

"whose only fault is the ^expre-

ssion of their ideas." However,

the letter was never sept, ac-

cording to Dr. Vadim Medish,

committee member and chair-

person of AU's Language and

Linguistics Department. - , ? ? - '"'?'

Upon news of the author's

deportation to West Germany

Wednesday, an emergency

meeting Was held from

Arizonia which called for a

closer look , at "whether the

Soviet Union wants a genuine

detente." "If Solzhenitsyn is not

to become another vicfJm of the

Gulag Archipelago, the civilized

world must speak ? out and

redouble its efforts to support

him in his courageous defense of

human and artistic freedom,"

Jackson said.

henitsyn's wife in Moscow

relayed prior to the meeting

through mediaries in New York

confirmed the fact that he had

been arrested and not merely

taken "into custody". She told

the committee, according to

Medish, that her husband would

want them to go ahead with the

meeting. He needed their help.

The speakers tried to instill the

idea that whatever Solz-

henitsyn's fate, his being and

literary contributions will serve

as a moral reminder to the free

world. He has, according to Rev.

Schmemann, pointed the way to

a new order by giving people a

vision of the world as it is and

how it could be.

-"The only healing thing is

truth " Schmemann said.

The truth about the Soviet past

and present is what has made

Solzhenitsyn the object of of-

ficial denounciation and con-

stant repression for several years.

He has devoted much of his

career to reconstructing recent

Russian history and describing

the way of life through his own

experience. His books, One Day

in the Life of Ivan Denisovich,

Cancer Ward, August 1914, are

banned in his country.

His new book, Gulag Ar-

chipelago, due for Western

publication in" English in May,

unearths the truth about the

Soviet courts, prison camps and

the secret police from the time

of Stalin to the present.

Profess or GontinMes Strwgg'? Against Droug ht

by John P. C idez

AU biology professor Norman

McLeod will return to Nigeria

this month to continue fighting

seve re drought conditions

threatening Western Africa with

widespread starvation.

Thousands of nomads and

peasants have died from effects

of the drought. Conditions in the

affected countries have been

described as grim and worsening

by African leaders and inter-

national relief agencies. '

Last August, McLeod and

another AU. professor, Darrell

Randall of SIS headed a field sur-

vey mission to Niger aimed at in?

vestigating programs to provide

relief to the drought-stricken

countries of Mauritania, Senegal,

Mali, Upper Volta, N iger,

Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, and

Ethopia. -

Invited Bck

The trip was so successfu l that

Diori Hamani, President of Niger

invited the two men to return

for a longer period this month or

in March.

But due to rapidly ^worsening

conditions the two men decided

not to wait and were invited

back in October. McLeod went

back" in November. In his up-

coming trip, McLeod will report

-V?i

to' the United Nations environ-

mental program on methods of

controlling the drought. He will

stop in Niger on the way ba?k to

the ? United . " States.

The severe spell of drought,

which has lasted about six years,

is exhausting all food stocks and

killing many animals that have

provided food and milk for hun-

dreds of thousands of people.

There are many problems to

be solved beyong the threat of

drought-induced famine. These

involve the people, their society

and culture.Randalldescribes the

famine as "leading to severe

social and cultural changes.

Peoples who have for centuries

led pastoral, nomadic lives are

being uprooted from their tradit-

ional! grounds and driven south

as their animals die. This leads

to increased, tensions as ;nor-

thern^people encroach ori the

districts of the south," he sajd.

Outside Aid Sought;

Randall describes the people

as willing to adopt to their new

circumstances, but added that

this will^be .possible, only \yjth

outsidelassistajhce. "This;, outside

aid\ ' sought in two'.areas} 'First;

Recources Technology Satellite

(ERTS) and .Skylabto find water

below the surface; and cloud

seeding.

There is sufficient water along

the rivers, Randall says, but

people from the drought areas

often can't come down to the

rivers. T herefore, he said,

methpds of irrigating gardens

and grain fields have to be

discovered.

Projects using ERTS imagery

and information from Skylab are

aimed at tapping reserves of

water existing below ground, in

channels of ancient drainage

systems. Although not fully im-

plemented, this program was

described by Randall as having

great potential for drought relief.

Randall ^describes cloud

seeding as 'Very effective.'' In

areas, where -dpuds have 'been

seeded there has been some

rainfall arid; increased crop

growth. Af big /drawback^ ac-

cording to Randall is that there

haven't been enough^ clouds: to

AU Provides Funds

Despite limited budgets, AU

has earmarked some unrestric-

ted funds for the team's work.

Randall says he is "quite

pleased" with student and

faculty reaction at AU in

response to the problem.

Randall expressed hope at

signs of concern in Congress

about,the drought and described

overall world response to relief

efforts as "beautiful." v

Randall, said there has been a

"pessimistic feejing that the

desert is goi ngtto; grow, that you

Days

of Love

During the past week spring has tried to creep through the

Winter days. And even though winter premises to be here for

another five weeks the quad was filled with soccer players;

sidestepping wild frisbees.

Out on the west coast a woman was being threatened with

death if her millionaire father didn't provide food to the poor.

Richard Nixon was still in the White House in "excellent

health/' and Watergate groupies were still taking bets that he

wouldn't last out the year. Solzhenitsyn finally lost his battle

with the Soviet Union and was exiled to West Germany.

The everyday things that no one seems to write about any

more were still there too. A woman in downtow n Newark

was raped and beaten. In Scotsdale, Arizona, Harold Silver

and his wife still wait after three years for their daughter Suzie

to return home from school. And a little boy's dog was run

down on New Mexico Avenue by a motorist that didn't even

bother to slow down.

^ Yesterday was Valentine's Day and those who wished to

forget for jus?a moment took time out to tell someone "I love

you." .; - ? - . . ;??

? ? '

. .. ? ?/.

"

v . . ?/?

' ? ?

A group of women sat in front of MGC selling daisies. In just

a short period of time they were completely sold out . The flor -

ists arou nd tow n sold record number of flowers to those

wanting to wish someone a happy Valentine 's Day. And stu -

dents , while openiy confessing their distaste for the day, still

snuck away to their mailboxes to see if someone didn 't send

them a card.

Somehow all the battles , ail the hates, all the wars , and all

the politici ans, haven 't been able to sou r us enoug h so that

we still can't show pur love openly to one anot her. The only

shame about it is that we store it all up fo r a particular day or a

partic ular incident .

Valentine 's Day is a year away. Spring isn 't.for another five

weeks. The newspapers and the televisions are filled with the

news that has been heard too often.

You can show your love in another year or sav e it for a

warm day on the quad, or you can rtrake a commitment and

start showing it today.

Here are the Issue s;

Where are the Goals ?

Leon R.

Young

who are attracted to the university

and whom the university attracts;

and the benefits these students

receive from their university

experience.

What are the goals of our

students? What aspirations do

they have? Why are they here?

What benefits are they deriving

from their being here? These are

questions which must be pon-

dered. And these are questions to

which the Student Confederation

should address itself. Does a per?

son simply exist at AU for four

years or is the person better as a

result of his education here? The

Student Confederation has the

ability to demand excellence from

all areas of the university. They

will not achieve excellence by

attac king individuals or by

assessing the culpability. They will

achieve excellence only by stating

their objectives, by attacking the

problems rather than the people,

and by working with everyone at

the university to achieve ex-

cellence.

The campus political season is

beginning. This season is also

known as the university hunting

season, for many of the can-

didates begin hunting for issues

on which to base their campaigns.

Many of these issues are negative

since it is easier and more popular

to campaign negative issues rather

than to promote positive

programs.

I noted with a degree of

amusement the poster of a can-

didate who requested student

support so that, if elected, this

candidate would work for the

return of Dirty Shirts laundry ser-

vice. It is a sad commentary on

the state of AU life that a cam-

paign should be predicated on the

return of ..Dirty Shirts. In the first

place,. Dirty Shirts is not on cam-

pus because they chose not to be

here. Secondly, no one student

can secure theinpresence here. I

cite this example because I think .it

Is symptomatic : of the attitude

concerningstudentgovernment on

this campus. "

In the past, student government

at AU has tended to be issue-

oriented.-The participation of the

constituents in their government

has been limited. Perhaps, this was

true because the issues sorne can-

did'ajtesLcorrsidered- vital were not

considered vital by the students

who yoted.^ As a result,-very few

students .felt the:- need or ;the.

desire: to Vote. This : year* ;tHe

Student Confederation has acted,:

for the most:." partr rather respop-;

sibly and has tended to be;imore

representative; of the campus, In

Nietzche said "many are stub-

born in the"; pursuit of the path

they have chosen; few in the pur-

suit of the goal." This may also ap-

ply to some at the university. We

must set our goals arid then

discuss our paths. For in working

together, in planning together, in

discussing together we will be

able to make the university a

meaningful place and, as a result,

we will also be able to have a

more representative Student Con?

federation and a more meaningful

student government; Campaigns

which seek the return * of Dirty

Shirts, which seek villification,

which seek access to private and

confidential' material of the

university, and which * seek to

criticize rather than to correct will

no longer be necessaryrlnstead,

we. will be able to witness par-

ticipatory student government in

which a majority of the: students

vote rather than watch.: When this

happens, the; Student; Con-

negative feelings about him before

1 experienced the knowledge that

he teaches.. Guru Maharaj Ji is

dimply giving people a way to go

inside tfiemselves and get at the

source of their own energy, which

is the same source pfJight-God-

love that is each of us. People may

have problems relating to the

devotional ism expressed toward

Guru Maharaj Ji but it must be un-

derstood in the Indian context of

gwtitude^Jthat,^a ;.perspn jshows toj

his- or her. spi/itual guide. This is

what Guru Maharaji Ji is for many

of us who practice the meditation,

a guide in the revelation of light

inside us all. What he teaches is

completely free? no one need give

a penny to the Divine Light

Mission in order to receive and

practice this knowledge. What has

happened, though, is that people

who are getting so high off of this

beautiful meditation want to offer

it:to others and to do this we try

to use all , and mediums of

communication to tell as many

people as will listen. The Novem-

ber Millenium festival in the

HouJ5tpn Astrodome brought

thousands of people to hear Guru

continued from page f

. Any orthopedic clinic is held

for two' hours every Tuesday:. ^

gynecologist* spends six hours a

week, Jthree hours each on

Tuesday and Friday at the in-

firmary. There is also a

psychiatrist who spends six

hours in; the clinic each week !

The AU dispensary does not

have the capacity to conduct

any large-scale tests or lab work

and ?: it cannot keep a student

overnight, although it is equip-

ped with three beds for'

emergencies. For this type of

treatment students are usually

taken to Sibley Hospital, a mile

away on Nebraska Avenue:

. J ust for entering Sibley's

emergency room, a student, or

anyone else, has to pay $26. This

fee does not include treatment.

In the past there were attempts

to reduce this 'fee, for>AU

students. The. last such attempt

was made in September 1972 by

the university. No provision for

special " treatment was worked

out with the hospital.

The dispensary sends students

to Sibley: only when they cannot

handle the case. It is not oin-

cornmon for some students to

request transportation to GW's

hospital or another hospital in

the area. "

Last- yearv the dispensary at-

tended more than 1.1,000 cases.

Over TOO students were seen on

Tuesday alonei However/Hardy

says there are timesIwhen all the

services are hot being "used.

Vice President for Student Life

Lenora Cole :says the people in

the dispensary . "do an; put-

standing job with the facilities

they have." Cole said she did not

know.of any plans to change the

facility in the near future.

1 According to Hardy there is a

plan for a new health facility that

was "set up about five years

ago." The plans call for the

.facility to be part of a planned

recreation-health building to be

situated between Leonard Hall

and the Asbury building. This

facility has third priority after the

new library and a parking garage

are built.

Hardy .says she does "not have

a . crystal ball," and cannot

predict if and when the facility

will be built. Cole says she is

unaware of and cannot com-

ment on the proposed building.

Right now the infirmary has

plans to teach some first aid to

the graduate , residents and

resident advisors in the dorms

for next year. However, Hardy

says she does not "want to see

them practising medicine in the

dorms.

Another service offered by the

infirmary is VD and pregnancy

testing by Petrina Shea, the

gynecologist. Shea is available

only by appointment as is the

psychiatrist.

continued from page I

University we do have a right to

watc h the business of our

university being con-

ducted....This is an incredible

and deplorable situation."

The two men took theiF

grievance to the University

Courts which had no jurisdic-

tion over the matter since

Trustees are not part of the

university community. They

went to the Executive Com?

mittee of the University Senate

which passed a resolution urging

the Trustees to open meetings.

The SC unanimously approved

a reso lution urging open

meetings and SC President Foss

sent a* letter encouraging open'

meetings to Trustee Chairperson

Raymond Geraldson, but hasn't

received an answer.

Bill Hodges, one of the men

who tried to attend the October

meeting, said he had trouble fin-

ding the meeting-place; the

President's Office didn't want to

tell him.

Of open meetings, Hodges

said "I don't believe it's big to

most of the students on cam-

pus... it just seems basic:" He and

the other man, Richard Katzman,

may try to attend Monday's

meeting, though meetings are

still officially closed.

Critic Previews Academy Awards

Next week the motion picture

industry announces their

academy award nominations.

With a little luck and President

Nixon not having revoRfed the

first amendment by then, the

press may inform us what Holly-

wood considers the major

achievements of the past year.

Since movies now are too ex-

pensive, for even critics to afford

to attend, most of the nominees

will be. foreign to the average

film buff.

While critics and the public

almost always are at odds over a

film's merit, Hollywood gives its

awards to movies that either

won't play in our neighborhood

for months or have played in our

neig hborhood for so long that

we assume their marquee title is

the name of the building. For

this reason I offer a new set of

prize categories designated as a

guide to today's top movies

which will probably be on your

television set tomorrow night.

A ll the winners are allowed to

keep their awards till Nixon

resigns or until Frank Sinatra

makes another comeback. Losers

must rewrite Nixon and Spiro

Agnew 's (Remember him?) in-

come tax returns..

BEST MOVIE TO SEE IF

YOU'VE BEEN ASLEEP FOR THE

PAST DECADE?"A merican

Graffiti." In this delightful film,

we find out what teenagers in

1962 did before they had

political assassinations, the Indo

China War, hard drugs and the

Johnson-Nixon administrations

to en terti i n them** Thev rri ovle

served to remind us of a popular

teenage game called crusin', A

DELICATE ART OF DRIVING UP

AND DOW N MAIN STREET

U.S.A. picking up women which

died in the seventies when all

the gas stations dried up.

B EST MOVIE TO SE E IF

YOU'RE PLANNING TO BE

ASLEEP FOR THE NEXT 200

YEARS?"Sleeper." This movie

showed us the future is filled

with laughs especially if we sur-

vive the current decade. When

told by his futuristic girl friend

Diane Keaton that she has a

degree from a local college in

oral sex, Woody Allen asks: "Did

you have to take any Spanish for

that?" With questions and

classes such as these, Allen has

provided the best incentive to

stay in sc hool since sex

education was taken out of the

restrooms on campus and put in

the classrooms.

MOST ENJOYABLE DANCE

FILM SINCE FRED ASTAIRE AND

GINGER RODGERS PUT AWAY

THEIR DANCING SHOES?"Last

Tango In Paris." In this musical

film often mistaken as a dramatic

disection of an intense sexual

relationship, Marlon Brando has

various kinds of intercourse with

a wacky lady without even

removing his clothes; a fete

which not only re-establishes

BrandoasAmerica's greatest actor

but also its finest magician. The

dance numbers were chore-

ograp hed by Masters and John?

son.

MOST VIOLENT MOVIE

HOLLYWOOD COULD GIVE

TO THE PUBLIC AT CHRIST-

MAS?"Magnum Force." Clint

Eastwood's latest police

recruiting film presented either

43 or 38 new corpses depending

on whether or not you count the

people in the front row who got

hit by the stray bullets.

?.Best movie to listen to on

record but avoid watching-

"jonathan Livingston Seagull."

Neil Diamond's mediocre score

included a song entitled "Be"

being pteyed at /least four :times

in the film. Everyone's favorite

bird flys from the desert to the

North Pole then walks up to a

rock only.to have Diamond sing

'Dear Father."

BEST MOVIE TO SEE AT A

DRIVE-IN WITHOUT

SPEAKERS?"The Way We

Were."

BEST PERFORMANCE BY A

CON ARTIST-Ryan O'Neal in

"Paper Moon." -* ? . .

WORST PERFORMANCE BY A

CON ARTIST-Paul Newman in

"The Sting."

BEST ACTOR IN A BAD

MOVIE-Robert DeNiro in "Mean

Streets."

WORST ACTOR IN A GOOD

MOVIE-Ryan O'Neal in "Paper

Moon."

BEST ACTRESS IN A BAD

MOVrE-Maggie Smith in "Love

And Pain and the Whole Damn

Thing."

WORST ACTRESS IN A GOOD

MOVIE-Lindsay Wagner in "The

Paper Chase."

BEST MOVIE TO SEE IF YOU

ARE STONED OR RETARDED

OR HAVE A DATE WHO IS

BOTH-'The Exorcist." Nothing

in this- film makes sense or

provides intertainment unless

you get off on foul mouthed, ,12

year old girls masturbating with a

crucifix. "The Exorcist" s hows

why the Catholic Church has

more people interested in its

Black Mass than its Sunday mass,

and why its so hard to find a

house to rent in Georgetown

where your children won't have

psychotic playmates.

MOST OFFENSIVE PERFOR-

MANCE BY AN AGEING SUPER-

STAR-George C. Scott for his

ro les in "The Day Of The

Do lp hin '" and "Oklahoma

Crude" with particular com-

mendation for a scene in the

later film in which he urinates

on Jac k Palance, thus proving

natural acting can often be more

artistic than the method ap-

proach.

BEST PHOTOGRAPHY OF A

MAN URINATING .ON

ANOTHER MAN- /'Oklahoma

BEST MOVIE TO SEE IF YOU

DON'T CARE ABOUT ACTING^

DIRECTION OR PLOT-

"Steelyard Blues"

BEST STARLET BY THE SWIM-

MING POOL SCENE-Alexandra

Stewart in "Day For Night." Ms.

Stewart, in a part usually given to

the starlet sleeping with the

film's producer, 'plays- an actress

in this charming film who every-

one thinks is sleeping with the

producer while they're making

the movie. After the swimming

pool scene, Ms. Stewart is

discovered to be pregnant thus

allowing this film within a film

to introduce another tool' in

moviemaking-- the ever

mysterious "quick cut"

Craig Moddern o

Black Oak's Blatant Sex Rock

What do you ask a rock singer

who walks in to be interviewed

wearing nothing more than a

pair of white silk tights and a

sHver belt?

. If you ask him if he's cold, Jim

"Dandy" Mangrum, lead singer

with Black Oak Arkansas will

remind you quickly that he's "A

very warm blooded person."

But blood temperature aside,

Black Oak Arkansas is a high

energy rock and roll band who

do their level best to provoke,

incite and to be . a symbol of

sexual freedom for their

audience. Their performances

last Friday to two packed houses

at the Kenneday Center seemed

to bear this out.

. Hailing from Heaven, Arkan-

sas, the group is different from

many of their "glam-rock" coun-

terparts in that they don't come

off as a group of sullen bastards

either on stage or off.

According to Jim Dandy, their

message is love. What they lack

in musical competence is made

up for with genuine enthusiasm.

"We're into a people, a

social and a sexual thing,"

Dandy explains. "Most other

groups are into either a

movement type of thing,, a sex

trip or a people thing. We try to

do something for everyone,

rather like a triangle."

To look at the figure filmed

only in thin white cloth, with

blonde hair draping over his

shoulders, one would never

guess that he was once intended

iDtdibe a Baptist minister. ; Whai

changed his mind? "The whole

group had this desire to com-

municate with people. I grew

up with these people, before I

started playing music with them.

My family doesn't mind what I

do, as a matter of fact, they think

I'm reaching more people with

my message now than anyone

ever did from where I'm from.

The grqup isn't ashamed of

their style. Jim says, "We're not

as ha m ed of w hat we d o. We

work hard whether it's in bed or

in the field. God made us to

work - hard and that's what we

do.. We're not ashamed of being

hot and nasty/' He; believes that

if fewer people were hung up

sexually, "We wouldn't have the

trouble we have today with rape

and sex murders." :

John ny Coles: Sideman

The Duke Ellington Orpffestra

played last Sunday at George-

town Universit y 's Cas ton Hall.

As a rule, it is the front man in

the group who attracts all the

headlines, the autographs and

the audiences. But the sound for

w hich such front men are so ad-

mired would be significantly less

appealing if it weren't for the

One such talented side man is

J ohnny Coles, second horn

player with the Duke Ellington

Orchestra. A short> soft-spoken

unassuming man w hose

trademark is an. ever-present

crocheted skull cap, Coles

seems to have no appetite for

headline grabbing/ His over-

riding concern in .life is his music

and making that music blend

properly with other musicians'.

."I'm what you'd call a new-

comer to the Ellington Or-

chestra,'" Coles says; "I've only-

been with him three years." In a

rock band, three years might

qualify one as a founding mem-

ber. ' ' ;" . ' - .: " , - ' -T

His ideas on his music echo

Ellington's. "Jazz, Ellington said,

is simply freedom of expression.

And I stopped using the term

"jazz" in 1946/'

Coles feels that the kmd of

music one leans towards is .in-

fluenced largely by the music he

listens to as a child. -V -

Cohen Wins Again

by Gary Davidson

What seemed to be one of

All's easier games at the begin-

ning of the season now shapes

up as their most critical as the

Eagles host Hofstra tomorrow at

8;pm.

AU, 14-8, must down Hofstra

if it is to make the Midle Atlantic

Conference playoffs .for the- first

time. Although the Flying Dutch-

men are only 5-15, they have the

sensational Rich Laurel and a

player of.his quality can spark an

upset on any given day.

Last Saturday, the Eagles had

their hopes of finishing second

in the MAC dashed by. LaSalie,

95-83. AU was done in by 'a

number of extraordinary per-

formances: ? a 39-point per-

formance byv Bill Taylor (a 19-

point averager with a career high

of 28) on an incredible 18 of 22

from the floor; 20 points from

Steve Baruffi (5.2 average); and a

63.2 per cent shooting per-

centage from the floor by the Ex-

plorers, 70 per cent in the

second half. '

The Eagles started off im-

pressively jumping out to a 20-17

lead in the early going. But Steve

Garrett reinjured his right knee

and LaSalle rolled off six unan-

swered points.

AU never led again as they fell

behind by as much as 22 irv the

second half. The Eagles couldn't

Cleo Wright sank a jumper from

halfcourt at the final buzzer,

bringing the Palestra crowd to

their feet.

. Wednesday, the . , Eag les

lengthened their losing skein to

four of their last five contests by

dropping, a 60-53 decision to

Navy. .' . : - . . t . .

Navy's zonedefense choked of

All's fast break: The. Eagles could

only shoot 28 per , cent' in-the

first half, 33.7 per cent for the

game. . .: . . , ?

MeanwhiJe, Navy's deliberate

offense scored the games first six

points, Never trailing, the Mid-

shipmen led 24)10 with 8:13 left

in the half and by as much as 19

after intermission.

Thomas scored 21 and pulled

down 13 rebounds, while Lloyd

remained in his shouting slump

netting only three of 14 from the

field, scoring 10 points.

Wilbur Thomas continued his

impressive play netting 27, while

Johnny, Lloyd could only sink

four of 17 shots, finishing with

Gary. Cohe'n won the three-

mile event in Friday's Pittsburgh

Track Classic with a meet record

time of 13:48.1.

Dave Reinhart finished third in

the mile with 4:09.6.

14 points.

Eagle Droppin gs : Buses leave

for the Hofstra game at 6:30 and

7 pm from , the Methodist

Church parking lot.

AU travels to Georgetown

Tuesday for -an 8 pm game. The

rivalry is aJways fierce, but

centive, for revenge after last

year's .90-68. humiliation.

Brown becomes the newest

team to make the honorable

mention division. In addition to

its win over Penh,' the Bruins

stopped Princeton, 64-59 in

overtime. Coach Jerry Alaimo's

New York City dominated team

is now 12-5. Connecticut soured

its .win over UMass with a triple

80-70 overtime loss to Rhode

Island. Canisius & Larry Fogle

continued incredible with 39

points in a 91-74 loss to Florida

State and 55 points (20 of 30

shots) in 129-109 shoot-out over

St. Peter's. Rutgers, behind Phil

Sellers 18 points and 9 assists,

defeated West Virginia 80-73,

but turned around and lost to

Georgetown, 57-55. .,, .

The hockey team proved.Sun-

day night that its first win was

not a fluke, by defeating

W heaton 5-4 at the Washington

Coliseum. The game was

highlighted by the sterling per-

formances or Bill McGaffigan

and goaltenders Bruce Barnes

and Jerry Baruch.

Andy Gunther sacked the first

goal^for AU at Jthe six-minute

mark of the initial period after

missing a breakaway moments

ear lier. AU continued to

outhustle Wheaton for the rest

of the period and left the ice

leading 1-0."

. Wheaton, charging out of the

locker room, scored two quick

goals to go on top. AU tied the

score with the first of three

McGaffiga n goals. Wheaton

broke the 2-2 deadlock by rifling

a screen shot by Barnes.

With a one man advantage,

AU utilized^crisp passing to find

Vic Petrolati alone in front of the

net. Petrolatis goal tied the score

at three apiece. McGaffigan then

scored his second and third

goals of the nigh,t to put. All on

top to stay.

Tuesday, AU lengthened their

winning to two games with a 4-2

win over George Washington.

Petrolati, pave Schnack, Rick

Carboneau and Gunther tallied

for the 3-14 Eagles., .
