SEN. McGOVERN

MSU's

·Misunderstood Club Moldy uniforms, close

order drills and old soldiers swapping war stores are the impressions that come to mind when someone men­tions a "Veteran's club.

"Nothing could be further from the truth," said Larry Lamoreux, public relations director for the MSU Veteran's club. "At least as far a our organ lzatlon Is concerned ;" he added .

Out of 700 veterans on campus only 40 are registered members. Lamoreux stated that he believes the reason membership is so low Is because of an attitude many

veterans have that anything with a military connotation Is bad.

"The club has no military connections, in fact, we have repeatedly vetoed requests from military people to come talk at our meetings," said Lamoreux.

The main objective of the club is to provide a social atmosphere. "Most veterans are slightly older than other students on campus," said Lamoreux. "Our club makes it possible to get together, meet new people and have some fun," he added.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1976 BOZEMAN, MONTANA VOL. 67 NO. 28

To Speak Monday Night ...

McGovern Is Coming (0 of 1)--"The World Food

Crisis" is the topic of @ talk scheduled Monday at MSU by U.S. Sen. George McGovern, the South Dakota Democrat who was his party's Presidential nominee In 1972.

The talk, set for 8 p.m. In the MSU Student Union Ballroom is sponsored by the Lectures Committee of MSU's Associated Students. General admission is $1 ; for MSU students, 50 cents.

Global food requirements have long been of interest to McGovern, currently chair­man of the Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs.

He also holds a Ph.D. In history and government from Nor­thwestern University.

As a pilot of a B-24 bomber, the "Dakota Queen, " in the World War II European Theater, he flew 35 missions

and was decorated with the Distinguished Flying Cross.

McGovern was elected to 1 the U.S. Senate In 1962, and re-elected in 1968 and 1974. He is next in line for the chairmanship of the Senate Agriculture and Forestry Committee and chairman of its subcommittee on Agricultural Credit and Rural Electrification. He Is a member of the Senate

Foreign Relations Com­mittee, with chairmanship of its subcommittee on South Asian Affairs.

Press Defends Against 'Quacks'

This column was named for a character in a movie. The character took a stand against a government that was doing wrong. His only weapon and the only thing which the govern­ment officials feared was the press.

An oppressor can take many forms. He can be a large business, or a small one, a con-artist, a crooked cop , a piece of paper, a politician on the take, or an honest one with his head on crooked. There are as many forms as there are people who want power.

Just as a lightho~se must stand alone in the dark , in order to prevent abuse, so must a newspaper.

A case in point. In the past three weeks on four different oc­casions either myself or one of our reporters were told either not to run a story or that before the article was ran someone must okay it.

This is wrong. But what Is worse, is the fact that since that Exponent is not financially secure from politlcs,the editor could be forced into submitting to prior censorship.

Not only does this violate the First Amendment to the US Constitut ion but it is in direct confrontation with a Supri'me Court ruling against prior censorship. Students have the same rights as any other American citizen.

As students, we are guaranteed these rights in the Con­stitution of the ASMSU. This is documented in section 7 of the Student Bill of Rights. Where it states , "Student Media are to be free of censorship."

This also includes censorship after the paper has hit the streets. In many cases,the Exponent has suffered at budget time when Senate recalls an article or two that did not paint the world

• as roses. The situation must be corrected not because the staff needs

more money or would like to see a journallstically better paper, but because the Exponent is the only means of communicating thoughts, ideas and complaints among students .

The ed itor and staff of the newspaper must be able to run what they see going Onjln campus without fear of reprisals .

As H.L. Mencken once said ... "The only way that society can be made bearable is by developing and cherishing a class of men sufficiently honest and disinterested to challenge the prevailing quacks. No such class has ever appeared in strength in the United States. Thus , the business of harassing the quacks devolves upon the newspapers. When they fall In their duty, which is usually, we are at the quack's mercy. "

Not that the world is full of quacks or that there is anyone in mind as I write this but sooner or later one is going to walk across the MSU campus .

If at that time there are not effective independent media then we will be at his mercy and we may never know it.

Common Hours Examined TO THE EDITOR:

The absurdity of the university administration policy for rotating time and day allocations for final examinations has been recently brought to the at­tention of numerous MSU students. This Is not to say the system is incorrect, but this policy includes all classes. This is where the problem begins .

The policy works as follows : if this quarter, you have a common hour examination scheduled, such as Bio 105, and the test is on a Thursday, next quarter the test would be on a Friday. Each quarter the exam hour is pushed one day later.

This would be fair, except such common hour classes have very high enrollments. Because of this, a large

percentage ot stuonets are detained on campus un­necessarily, until late in the week. The percentages are against such classes : first , there are many students involved ; second, much more grading must be done by the instructor, which means grades usually are not computed and turned in on time, due to the volume of the work load .

If the grades are not turned in on time (at no fault to the Instructor as there is simply too much grading for the time alotted) then you don't receive your grades during break.

I mentioned it was un­necessary to maintain this high percentage of students on campus late into the week for these common hour exams. How so ; simply by changing a ridiculous ad­mlnstration policy of rotating

common hour exam periods with others.

Wouldn 't it be much easier to schedule the common hour exams or classes with over 350 students during the first three days of the final week, rotating them in this time period? This would eliminate :

1) high numbers of students remaining on campus for only one test at the end of a week,

2) The extra burden on instructors to complete and post grades for large classes by the filing time,

3) The student not receiving his or her grades because of this unnecessary burden placed upon multi section courses.

Poll Is Not Obiective

If you have ever had to sit through final week waiting for a test on Thursday or Friday, that 400 other students have also been sitting and waiting for, then you know what I mean.

The final for smaller sec­tions of higher level courses, if they have a final at all , is often given In advance or as a take home problem, thus reavlng you and 400 others stuck In Bozeman , MT ., waiting for a common hour that Is scheduled on Friday by some joker who desn 't even know about exams, grading and the like.

Dear Editor, In recent weeks students

throughout Montana have been concerned with a proposal to switch to a uniform early semester

calendar. I understood that a questionnaire was to be distributed among students, faculty and administration. Having not received such a questionnaire I consulted the Information booth In the MSU SUB which then referred me to the ASMSU office.

In the ASMSU office, no one seemed to be quite sure about where the question­naires were or how one was to obtain a copy . Eventually the questionnaires were located and I was told that questionnaires had been malled to students Jiving In dorm itories .

Having obtained a questionnaire, I was pleased to read that, " It Is necessary to gather opinion on the

4 - THE EXPONENT - Friday, February 6, 1976 . .

subject from students, faculty and administration in order to insure full par­ticl patlon. " However , I couldn't help wondering how " they" expected full par­ticipation from the student body while neglecting those students who do not live in dorms.

It was also disappointing to read the paragraph beginning , "We believe that one of the major advantages of the early semester calendar is ... " It was not just disappointing because "We" was never Ident i fied , but because arguments favoring one side were presented without an opposing view on a sup­posed I y objective questionnaire.

On the questionnaire, there were several multiple choice questions with contradictory Instructions. The answers to these questions were am­biguous and I was puzzled when confronted with a choice of rejecting the semester system or preferring the quarter system .

This questionnaire, which was to express student opinion , seems to have been haphazardly distributed . Little thought seems to have entered the composition of the multiple choice answers . But maybe then, It doesn't really matter how the questions are answered.

Richard F. Kutz Soph ., C.E.

Stop by the student senate, the registrars office, your college deans office and let them know this policy is based on shaky ground . Lets get It changed so we all can get off campus after a tough quarter a little faster , everyone will be happier.

Questionnaire lsQuestioned To the Editor:

I just received a questionnaire regarding whether the quarter system or the semester system Is more desirable for the units of the Montana University System. I would propose that neither one Is a useful option.

While both are con­veniences for the ad­ministrative portion of the University, they bear little . relation to the process of learning, or the organization

Now that Christmas is over it can be told. Yes Virginia, there Is no Santa Claus . You see Virgin ia there are two symbols and two stories for Christmas . Some would say myths - that Is stories through which we come to an understanding about our­selves and about life. There Is the Santa Claus story and there is the Jesus Christ story.

The Santa Claus story Is about a mysterious figure who comes In the night to give gifts to good little boys and girls. "Better watch out , better not shout." He's making a list .. finding out

of Information. Among the 8500 or so students here, there are the same number of rates of learning .

It seems unlikely that all 8500 students can learn exactly the same amount in the several hundred courses each quarter (or semester) that al I last exactly the same number of days. Should not, a student be permitted to learn as rapidly or as slowly as he or she Is able?

Certainly it would be an

who's naughty and n Ice." That is to say that from the perspective of the Santa Claus story we get the gifts .. if we are good .

Now if this is true then what's good for me is good for you . By that I mean that the message I get from the Santa Claus story about my business of giving gifts is that I can play the same game. I' ll bestow my charity (caritas - love) on those who conform to my standards i .e. "good." Be my gifts money or time to love or help , I'll hold them until the recipient shows he or she Is deserving of It. That's the Santa Claus way.

Now the Jesus Christ story is opposite to the Santa Claus

inconvenience to some. To have to start and/or finish teaching on a day other than those set by someone in Helena (or wherever) . Consider how much In­convenience is caused to those who are forced to wait an extra year or more to finish learning because they are able to work faster than someone decrees .

Making a decision that all knowledge can be ap­propriately learned in exactly 75 days is no less absurd than decreeing that al I knowledge is most appropriately learned in 50 days. For every course that should be given a little more time, another course is already too long, and should be shortened .

For every student who finds 50 (or 75) days the right length, there are many who find that time too long, and many others that find that time too short.

The questionnaire itself is very poorly constructed, and gives l ittle opportunity for expressing alternates other than those already selected by someone, somewhere. There is a little space at the bottom of the questionnaire -- use it to express your real desires, If they vary from the limited choices offered .

I would ask the ad­ministrative agents repon­slble for collecting the results of the questionnaire to listen to those comments , and adapt the University program to the desires and needs of the paying customers, rather than making a decision and seeking enough votes to claim that the right decision was made.

story. In this story we also have a gift giving by a mysterious figure. But In this story one doesn't have to be good to get the gifts . In this story God sends his gift of love, not because anyone deserved it but because it Is needed . "While we were yet sinners Christ died for us.'• And the message of this story is that I can depend upon receiving love/gifts without worrying about "Watching out or being "naughty or nice. " And further It tells me that my practice of gift giving should be based on the same standard - need, not merit.

Wei I there you have It Virginia. The Santa Claus story or the Christ story. Take your pick.

Dear Ralph, QUACKERY

by Susan Schauble

Quackery , which includes both products and people, Is defined by the Food and Drug Administration as the misin­formation about health .

There are three basic types of Quackery: 1. Fake medical devices

2. Food fads and unnecessary food supplements 3. False claims for cosmetics and Drugs Fake medical devices Include : A machine which can diagnose or treat different diseases

merely by turning a dial or flashing lights . An apparatus that can reduce excess weight by vibration. A glove or bracelet that can cure arthirits by radiation . Properly fitted eyeglasses or dentures via mail order! Contrary to what self-appointed " nutritionists" claim,

American Farm Land Is not depleted. Americans are the best fed people in the world, and the need

for vitamin , mineral , or other food supplements for_ people who have deficiencies can only be established by a Physician.

Among Quackery in drugs and cosmetics are: A cure for baldness among men (baldness is incurable)

Chemical "face peels" guaranteed to bring new youth but instead may cause face disfigurements.

Drugs, that "melt away" fat without dieting. And , perhaps the most cruel ; unproven treatments for cancer,

which may rob the patient of something which can save his or her llfe--valuable time in which effective treatment could still be given.

How can you, as a consumer recognize Quackery? Here are some characteristics used by " quackery artists :"

1. The product is being offered as a " secret remedy. " 2. The sponsor claims that the medical profession in at­

tempting to suppress his or her " wonderful discovery ." 3. The remedy is sold door-to-door, by a self-styled "health

advisor", or is being promoted by lectures to the public from town to town.

4. "Testimonials " are shown on how "wnnderful" the said product is, and on how miracles" have been performed for others by use of the product.

5. The product or service Is good for a variety of illnesses, real and-or fancied.

If any of these characteristics appear, and you suspect you are a victim of Quackery, there ar a few things you can do.

1. See your physician or County Medical Society 2. Get in touch with the Food and Drug Administration-either

at its Distr.ict Off ice or In your area. 3. Ask the Better Business Bureau about the promoter's

reputation. 4. If the drug or device was promoted through the mail ,

contact your local Postal Office. The purpose of Quackery is not to protect or restore your

health--but to separate you from your money. Protect yourself ancf your money--know about the practices of Quackery and prevent their practices In your community!

and universities all over the country, "according to The lnstitute's president, Loenard M. Greene.

" Hundreds of students from 147 communities in 35 states have written in to apply," he said. First prize in the contest is $2,500 in cash plus a travel or study grant of an additional $2,500 for the best 10,000 word paper on "I ncome Supplementation A Solution to America's Welfare Crisis."

Both the first prize and a second prize of $1,000 will be awarded at a Washington , D.C. symposi um that The Institute Is organizing from Congressional and Ad­ministration leaders working on the welfare reform issue.

According to Mr. Greene, "much expert opinion holds that a national Income

supplement would open up economic incentives to poor people. Today 's welfare system with i ts 'cut-off points" has the effect of reducing their benefits almost a dollar for every dollar they may be able to earn. This sort of peanlty simpley is too high for many. Common sense prevents them from risking current benefits by seeking more earned income."

The contest, according to an official rules brochure, aims "to encourage students to think constructively about solutions to the vast problems caused by the failure of present U.S. socioeconomic policy . Emphasis should be on fresh ideas and positive alter­natives to the present system." Students essayists are told that their papers may

Don't Expect 'Time Of Yourlife'I Lowe & Whittemore Missed , ,

BY Angle Helvey As you settle Into your chair

at the SUB Theater this week to watch "The Time of Your Life," you can observe a pinball machine In one corner, getting ready to blink Its lights and wave Its patriotic flags . Also set up are a high walnut bar and two tables center stage. A piano rests in another corner and a dance stage Is built next to it.

Did you know that 23 V2 hours of each day are spent on just waiting?"

Mary Is an alcoholic also , and her rationale is that she was never allowed to drink before she got married, and drink soothes her sadness.

Elsie , a young woman looking for love, rushes Into the bar to meet with Dudley, a young man looking for a nice time. She tells him that she

the parts they are playing . The MSU Theater Arts Committee didln 't present the play in a smoothe or energy­fi I led way. Saroyan 's message was practically lost without the message In the program to help explain his concepts of h Is play, "Time of Your Life". An excerpt follows:

In the time of your life -live - so that in that good time

"The Time of Your Life," a play by Wiiiiam Saroyan, Is being presented In the SUB Theatre by the MSU Theater Arts Committee. The sellout performance going fnto It's fourth night, is a satire on the meaning of life. [Photo by Angle Helvey]. .

The lights dim and the show begins. We find that the scene of action will be Nick's Tavern , and various alcoholics , whores, and young entertainers looking for work will seek out the place in the course of the story.

William Saroyan begins to weave his tale as we see the characters develop their live and let live attitudes . Joe the central fi gure of the play, seems to be a cari ng person who has to hide this by drinking and being gruff. Kittle Duval , the main streetwalker, is benefited by his caring and money as she tries to rise up from her profession and become a lady . She moves into a fancier hotel and realizes that she becomes lonely when people of her own kind are not around.

Tom, a young, dumb ac­complice of Joe's, romances Kitty and wants to take her away from her sad life. At the end of the play, this finally does come about, which seems to show that perhaps people can change if they can start anew.

Joe's problem is alcoholism , and a few lines of his are worth mentioning, "I don't drink all the time ... six or seven hours a night I sleep. If I don't drink, I do stupid things, like I think." When asked by Mary L., another streetwalker whose forte is sadness, as to his future plans, he replies : " I just .. . get up. I also wait for things .

realizes love cannot be found in a poor world , so they might as well go to bed . Love is an illusion, for at the next moment, love may be tossed aside as a husband is handed a gun and told to go fight In a war.

All of these characters and others that drift in seem to have no real enthusiasm for

there shall be no ugliness or death for yourself or any life your lie touches ... so that in that wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow 0f the world, but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of It."

If you plan on seeing the play, don't go expecting "the time of your life. "

It would have been enough to divert them with a drink even, anything to stop their tinkling , but alas, the hall was Willson Auditorium and the joint was dry.

As he sat and listened to Mssrs. Lowe and Whit­temore pedal their "American Sampler," th is reviewer sensed that only candellght and a martini or two (or three) were needed to complete the Illusion of a New York night spot.

So substanceless was the material, so varied the arrangements and so shallow the renditions, indeed, a lounge would better have befitted their program than the humblest auditorium.

The pair failed almost entirely to exploit the har­monic and rhythmic poten­tialities of the two pianos (pieces by Griffes and Gould excepted) and concentrated i nstead on embellishing melodies that were over­whelmed by such attent ions. ("Rose Garden").

Lowe and Whittemore deliberately eschewed compositions from jazz, contemporary, and avant garde music that surely contain just those qualities best demonstrated by duo­piano play.

POSTAL SERVICE NEEDS MORE FUNDS TO KEEP GOING

Postmaster General Benjamin F. Baller said Tuesda~ that increased tax money will have to support the Postal Service or Americans will face continuing increased mall rates.

Baller told the Senate Post Office Committee the problems of inflation, rising costs, and decreasing volume are likely to be with the Postal Service for the forseeable future.

The Postal Service will have incurred a total $3 billion loss by its fifth birthday on July 1. The Postmaster General said, "In practical terms we may be forced to borrow before the end of the fiscal year to meet our payroll.

Bailer supported a proposal by committee chairman Gale W. McGee, D-Wyo. to double the agency's $1.5 billion annua! subsidy over the next year. However, he warned that using tax funds to subsidize the Postal Service would require many billions of dollars in subsidies over the next decade.

He also called for a study to see the relevance of traditional postal services to future national needs.

Bailer said long-range postal problems dwarf the short-term economy measures now under consideration. One such proposal is elimination of Saturday delivery.

MIDDLEMAN GETIING MORE THAN THEI R SHARE Higher middleman charges accounted for nearly three­

fourths of a $126 boost in what a typical family paid for U.S. farm produced food last year. These r.osts are predicted to continue in 1976 according to the Department of Agriculture.

Higher farm prices accounted for $35 of the 1975 increase and

middlemen charges amounted to $91. Averaged over the 12 months, a theoretical family of 3.2

persons paid a record $1 ,876 for food produced on farms, up 7.2 per cent from $1,750 in 1974. The Dept. of Agriculture figures also indicated that the farm value of the items was $783 last year, up 4.7 per cent from 1974. The middleman's share for transporting, processing and selling market-basket food averaged $1 ,093 in 1975, up 9.1 per cent.

The middleman costs are expected to slow down and will have " less effect than they did last year," but those costs will still exert upward pressure on food prices, according to the Dept. of Agriculture.

MORATORIUM LIFTED ON FEDERAL LAND COAL MINING LEASES

The Federal Government appears to be determined to embark on a massive coal-leasing program. A decision announced Monday by the Secretary If the Interior, Thomas S. Kleppe, reopened millions of acres of coal-rich public lands in the west.

Kleppe said he was lifting the moratorium on coal leases of federal owned land, but added the move does not mean "we are going to come out and ravage the West."

Kleppe indicated western governors would be able to discuss individual mining projects with him, but would not have veto power over lease applications.

The new eight-point coal leasing policy Kleppe announced Includes development of federal reclamation standards , a commitment to draft regional environmental impact statements when needed , and a requirement that leases be handled through competitive leasing . Other points of the new policy are designed to discourage speculative leasing and assure that Indian owned land over coal reserves will not be 11ined without tribal per­mission.

Kleppe noted states with stricter ·reclamation standards for mined land and would be able to Impose their rules , rather than use the federal standards.

According to th Bureau of Land Management applications have been filed for 51 ,000 acres of land in Montana. The largest application in the state from Dryer Brothers , Inc., is asking permission to lease coal rights under more than 15,000 acres for development of a coal-fired plant.

Assistant Secretary of the Interior Jack Horton estimated that once the moratorium is actually lifted, it could be mid-or-late 1977 before any new leases are approved .

Europe ...

(CPS)--The latest tactic in presidential campaigning Is enlisting the support of rock stars to play benefit concerts and made endorsements. The Allman Brothers and the Marshall Tucker Band have netted $100,000 for Jimmy Carter, Maria Muldaur has sung for Tom Haydn 's California Senate campaign, and Ario Guthrie Is lined up behind Fred Harris.

But while the liberal Democrats are cashing in with music stars , the Republicans are singing a different sort of blues. Rock and roll backing for con­servative Republicans Is hard to find.

The President Ford com­mit tee office confessed recently that they "don't have anyone lined up yet." Ronald Reagan's headquarters has tentatively enl i sted the support of crooner Pat Boone.

Even Henry Jackson , whose hawkish views on Vietnam are returning to haunt him, is having trouble obtaining rock and roll backing . According to Electra Asylum chairman Joe Smith, Jackson Is "light years away from where they're at."

Opportunities Are Offered INTERCHANGE, a non­

profit foundation located in Amsterdam has opened its doors to students and teachers from North America who want to see Europe. As a resu It of long term research and planning , there are many opportunities to see and learn about Europe . Programs range from Winter Olympic ski trips to working and earning your way through Europe during the summer and fall.

An innovation Is a destination and Identity board for hi tchhikers. This aids In getti ng tourist-hitch hikers good ri des qu ick ly. Th e program is t ied In with

Students working for college credits can attend language camps in Europe. Those wanting fresh air, travel and elective adventures may bicycle through Holland, France and other countires. Many other opportunities are available to INTERCHANGE members, who pay the foundation only a $2 monthly subscription fee. Members are ent itled to a wide scope of benefi ts which until now have mostly been available to European student s.

Interested students and teachers may obtain the foundation's brochure and a su bscription application by sendi ng their name, address, the name of their school and one dollar or the equivalent In stamps to cover postage and handl ing to INTERCHANGE, Box 5579 , Amsterdam, Holland .

SUPREME COURT DECISION

In a recent decision, the Montana Supreme Court decided guardedly In favor of the University System . This issue was the con­stitutionality of House Biii No. 271, which promised to place all university funds under state accounting control and to put many university program decisions under state control In the form of an interim finance committee.

Unfortunately, the carefully worded court declaration will ROI solve al I of our fl nanclal problems, but it did severely limit the authority of the interim finance committee as well as separating private funds from state control.

PERSONNEL CHANGES

Many changes of personnel are of note - the resi gnation of Vice President Kevin Lom­bardozzi (due to l lness) has resulted In the selection of Taylor Brown to fill the spot. Taylor, a sophomore In Ag Production , adds a new perspective to the group and hopes to work as much as possible with ASMSU Committees.

Ms. Jul ie Peterson was elected Senate pro-temp for the new term and is already working hard to improve information techniques. At its last December meeting, Senate appointed Rick Boylan and Colleen Barnard to fill two vacant seats, so hopefully we're all accounted for and ready to start to work .

ELECTION RESULTS

FALL ELECTION RESUL TS ... Student voters defeated the proposed Blue Cross Health Insurance plan by a strong margin : 1426-449. Under the proposal , students would have been billed automatically for health insurance unless they signed release forms.

As a result of the voters' obvious distaste for the Idea, a card will be included with registration materials on which students can sign up for the program If they wish to participate.

Voters also passed (1406-339) an ASMSU annual budgeting constitutional amendment which provides that all annual budgets will be considered by the same session of Senate in random order. Essentially this means that the athletic budget will be considered at the same time as all other ASMSU budgets.

SENATE SPEAKERS

which of these qualify as deductible personal property taxes?

A. First , a deductible personal property tax must be an ad valorem tax, that Is, one based on the value of the personal property. It must also be imposed on an annual basis, even if It Is collected more or less frequently.

A tax based on anything other than the proprty's value is not deductible. Therefore, If property such as your car Is

taxed on its value, and other criteria such as weight or gas mileage, only the portion of the tax attributable to the value Is deductible.

The tax may be considered to be imposed on personal proprty even If In form It Is Imposed on the exercise of a privilege. For example, an ad · valorem tax called a registration fee , imposed on

your car for the privilege of using the highways, is still considered a property tax.

0. I understand that I may be able to claim additional tax credits for some of my exemptions this year. For which of them may I claim the credits?

A. Provisions of the Tax Reduction Act of 1975 allow you to reduce their Income tax liability by $30 for each person for whom you are entitled to claim a personal dependency deduction . Personal exemptions may be claimed for yourself, your spouse and each dependent. However, you may not claim the additional credits for age and blindness exemptions. The credit is In addition to the $750 deduction allowed for each exemption to which you are entitled . However, your total personal exemption credit may not exceed your income tax liability .

0. I am supporting my parents who qualify as my dependents and who live with me, and I think I may be entitled to a head of household tax rate. How can I qualify?

A. Generally, you must be unmarried on the last day of the year, maintain the household for your dependent parents and contribute over half the cost of its main­tenance. You need not live in the same home as your prents .

0 . I bought several tickets to a concert performed for the benefit of a charity. Are the cost of these tickets deductible as a charitable contribution?

A. The payments for admission or participation In any benefit performance, banquet, charity ball , etc., for a qualified organization are deductible only to the extent they exceed the fair market value of the performance or other privilege.

For example, If the concert would normally cost $10, but the benefit cost $20, you may claim the extra $10 as a charitable contribution. If you claim the deduction, you must show that the payment is above the fair market value. Whether you use the tickets or not has no bearing on the amount you may deduct.

Baucus Announces

Lifting Of Cattle Import Quotas Washington, D.C .-- "It may even become

necessary to impose similar requirements on cattle coming in from Canada if

Canadians do not treat our exports fairly," Baucus said. "This could be done at the national or regional level."

SPORTS CALENDER

BASKETBALL: The men's varsity will try to

keep their lead In the Big Sky conference with games against Gonzaga In Spokane Friday and Idaho, in Moscow on Saturday. The Bobkitten's don't return to action until Monday night when they will be In Miles City to play Miles Community College, with a return match on Tuesday night .. The women's varsity travels to Cheney, Wash., to take on Eastern Washington College on Saturday.

GYMNASTICS: The MSU squad journeys to

Biii ings to take on the always talented Eastern Montana College team.

SKIING: The Montana State skiers

go to Steamboat Springs, Colorado for a meet from the 5th-8th. The field will be a strong one with national powers Wyoming and Utah In attendance.

WRESTLING : The Bobcat grapplers will

be at the Fieldhouse Saturday, for matches with Minot State and Eastern.

Reactlng to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's decision to lift all quotas on beef Imported from Canada, Congressman Max Baucus called on the Department to start testing Canadian beef for disease.

Removing the annual quota ol 17 million pounds from Canada was In response to Canada's recent removal of all beef import quotas from any country.

CLIMB THE LETTERS "I'm pleased that we are

moving toward normalizing trade relations with Canada," Baucus said . "This recent action, however , poses serious problems and may prove extremely unfair to Montana's cattlemen. While beef can now move freely both directions over the border, Canada has set up unreasonable quarantine restrictions on live American cattle that make the passage of live cattle a one-way street."

Baucus explained that new Canadian quarantine requirements for Bluetongue and Anaplasmosis, two cattle and sheep diseases, prohibit Montana growers from shipping breeder and other cattle over the border.

"Canada claims that it is free of these diseases, but that may not be true," Baucus said . "Canada has ex­perienced these diseases in the past. Besides , Bluetongue is carried by gnats. How many gnats know about international borders?"

Because he considers the quarantine requirements a "non-tariff trade barrier" that gets around quota restric­tions, Baucus has requested the Department of Agriculture to begin a testing program on imported Canadian beef and cattle to show that the disease is present in Canada.

MSU Scientist Attends Seminar

Dr. Gerald Nielsen, agr i cultural experiment station soils scientist in Montana State University's plant and soil science department , recently returned from an eight-day trip to Hyderabad , India, site of an international seminar on soil classification and land use planning .

Nielsen was invited to demonstrate how soil data is used as a primary tool in land use planning .

The seminar, aimed at exploring the practical usefulness of so i l classification , drew soils researchers and land use authorities from 31 countries.

Discussions centered on the new U.S. Soil Taxonomy, an improved technique of classification, and how it will be useful in three specific bu t rather broad areas .

" It will be useful in in­terrelating research studies on soi I, water and crop management and would certainly be needed in land used plann ing and reg ulation . Also, the system will be valuable for implement ing agricultural development for food production ," Nielsen said .

Following t he seminar, Nielsen part ic ipated in a three-day f ield trip duri ng which he and other sc ient ists used the new U.S. system to classify soils in sem i-arid southern Inda.

Co-sponsors of the seminar were the International Crops Research Insti tute for the Semi-arid Tropics, Un iversity of Hawaii , U.S. Agency for International Development and the Un ivers i ty Con ­sortium on Soils of the Tropics.

Antioch College

Another FBI Target By Allan Rabinowitz

(CPS)--Not content with going after leftist groups on campus, the FBI in 1958 attempted to systematically disrupt and disgrace Antioch College, the small , well­known experimental college, recently released FBI flies show.

Antioch , located In Yellow Springs, Ohio, became the target of an FBI "colntelpro," or counter-Intelligence program, because It was being run "by a small group of militants that are permitted by college authorit ies to dtac~ every segment o.f

Amerlc3n society under the semblance of being 'highly intellectual, according to the documents .

The documents , obtained by the Political Rights Defense Fund , show that the Cincinnati branch office of the agency viewed the college as " the center of new left activity" in the area. The FBI attacked the "dirty anti-social appearance" of many of the school's 1800 students, and their "beatnik Image." The whole town on Yellowstone Springs Itself, declared the agency, held an "overabundance of self­declared 'intellectuals."

7 TAI LANE

Memos by the Cincinnati office to FBI headquarters in . Washington, DC also took note that Antioch's president, James Payson Dixon, Jr., a medical doctor had attacked narcotics control laws and challenged the idea that marijuana use Is harmful.

Antioch College Is known for its programs which allow students to study for part of the academic year and then work for a business or agency which cooperates with the school's program.

The FBI hoped to make these cooperating businesses--students' parents as well--question

whether" students are ac­tually receiving a quality education at Antioch.

The FBI Cincinnati office proposed a Dcheme approved by the W-3hington office, which included reviewing the files of 30 or 40 for.mer An­tioch student militants to determine their achievements since leaving school . If these student showed "a low achievement record," the results would be furnished to a certain reporter on the Cincinnati Enquirer who was also a former FBI contact. The reports on the s\udents were also to have been sent

annonymously to the school's administrators.

If the former Antioch students proved to be suc­cessf u I in their post­academic lives, the Idea was to be dropped.

No such article challenging education at Antioch ap­peared in the Enquirer, im-. plying that the results of the FBI research on the Antioch students were not favorable to the agency's goals.

Both the Cincinnati office and FBI headquarters refused to elaborate on any of the Information detailed In the FBI documents .

An Analysis Of Senate Bill One

You Are Under Arrest by Allan Rabinowitz

(CPS)--lmaglne, for a moment, that the entire anti­war movement of the sixties was illegal, and that thousands of students were given prison sentences of up to fifteen years, or possibly the death sentence.

If Senate Bill 1, the con­troversial criminal code reform bill now sitting In the Senate Judiciary Committee, had been enacted ten years ago, that Is exactly what would have happened.

The sanctions laid down by SB-1, put together under the N lxon law-and-order ad­ministration, encompass so much, In wording that is so vague, that virtually any political act or statement aimed against the govern­ment could be construed as being In violation of some provision of that code.

From the start, the new criminal code was clearly constructed largely in response to the anti-war movement, by Nixon Attorney Generals Klelndeinst and Mitchell. By examlng this bill in the context of the anti-war ·movement of the sixties, it becomes clear just how far the Influence of this bill would penetrate American life and stymie any attempt at major social change.

For example, the new criminal code would expand the 1968 Incitement-to-riot statute which formed the basis of the celebrated Chicago Conspiracy trial. The seven defendants In that trial

were ultimately acquitted because the government failed to prove that they had crossed a state line with the "i ntention" of inciting a riot.

But under SB-1 , the government could have ignored that detai l. The government would only have to prove that the defendants had used the mall or an In­terstate phone cal I to plan the event that later had become a riot. The seven Chicago defendants could have been convicted and given three­year jail sentences.

Furthermore, a "riot" is defined In the bill as any " public disturbance" In­volving ten or more people that , "by violent and conduct, creates a grave danger of inj ury or damage to persons or property." But what is "tumultous conduct" and what constitutes danger to property? Shouting chants while trampling the grass in a park?

Drait board demon-strations, the destruction of draft records, the en­couragement of draft resistance--all of which took place during the anti-war years -- can constitute "impairing the military ef­fectiveness of the United States, " bringing a sentence of three to thirty years and a $100,000 fine.

Another provision of the bill punishes by a one-year jail term the obstruction of any " official proceeding" through· noise, violence, "or any other means." What "other means?" Passing out leaflets?

Under SB-1, Daniel Ellsberg could have been charged for treason for leaking the Pentagon Papers, and been executed. The New York Times editors who received those classified documents could have gotten seven-year sentences.

Under SB-1, a journalist who impaired "military ef­ficiency by issuing a false statement" could go to jail if the military decided his reports "aren't contradicting an official military report could be found to be aiding the enemy, even if that military report could be itself was deceptive (which has happened often enough) . An Orwellian predicament arises where truth is treated as a lie and a lie becomes truth . Seymour Hersh cou Id have spent seven years in jail for exposing the My Lai massacre.

Under SB-1, the Berrigan brothers could have been convicted of sabotage for destroying draft records, and given the death sentence.

Under SB-1, the 20,000 demonstrators arrested en mas5e in the 1971 May Day protest in Washington, DC, could all have been convicted of obstructing government fuctions and given sentences of three years .

Under SB-1 , a member of an organization " which incites others to engage in conduct that then or at some other time would facilitate the forcible overthrow of the government" could go to jail for seven years.

The language is so vague

RICHARD BOONE&

STEWART PETERSEN

practically anyone connected with a leftist organization on campus could be arrested. This could have Included every member of SOS, the Student Mobilization Committee, and other major anti-war groups of the sixties . It could include everyone in the People's Bicentennial Commission, an alternative Bicentenial group calling for fundamental change in America. It could Include people you know personally. It could include you .

These are just some of the many abuses of the democratic process to be found in the proposed revised criminal code. The American

Civil Liberties Union has discovered more than 3000 provisions or phrases In SB-1 that are vague, ambiguous, or violate an Individual's rights.

But as if these provisions are not repressive and outrageous enough, there Is one more that tops them all. Under SB-1, a government official who claims that he felt he was acting in the best interests of the country of following his superior's wishes could not be held responsible for illegal actions he might have committed. In other words, while Daniel Ellsberg could be executed, John Ehrlichman gets acquitted.

Founta in To Speak On Crust

The Department of Earth Sciences is pleased to an­nounce that David Fountain, Visiting Assistant Professor of Geology at University of Montana, will will present an

illustrated talk at noon Friday, Feb. 13, in Room 204, Traphagen Hall. His lecture is entitled: "Continental Ob­duction Zones: Geological and Geophysical Lower Continental Crust".

Within certain mountain belts there are exposures of complete cross-sections of the continental crust through which we can deduce a great deal of information about crustal structure, petrology, geophysics and geochemistry. These zones add further insight into the processes of mounta.in building.
