Daniel took the officers through the alleged operation step by step explaining that Gal ley’s platoon landed on the out skirts of My Lai by helicopter without encountering any enemy fire. He said Galley found the villagers “undefended and unarmed women, children and old men in their hooches.” “These people were taken in a group to the southern side of the village and directed to be guarded by Spec. 4 Paul Meadlo and Pvt. Dennis Conti” Daniel explained. “They were told to ‘take care of these people.” They started to guard the people. They didn’t know what Lt. Galley’s intent was. “Lt.

Pakistan seeks world help ; Half a million feared dead

DACCA East Pakistan (UP1) The Pakistan Red Cross urgently appealed for typhoid and cholera vaccine yesterday in a battle to save 2 million suffer­ing victims of a cyclone tidal wave disaster that may have killed 500,000 people-perhaps more.

Juniors dom inate campus Judicial BoardThe names of this year’s mem­

bers o f the twelve man campus judicial board were released T u e sd a y by Father James Riehle, C.S.C., Dean of Stu­dents.

The members of the board are: seniors Bruce Bernier and Alex Ponzio; juniors Bob Hall, Bill Me Devitt, Dave Coring, Mike Fitzgerald, Tom Cullen, and Kelly Flynn; sophomores Robert Fulton and Brock Bur­roughs; and freshmen Guy Ran­dles and Greg Smith.

The board this year will have two functions: it is to act as an Appeals Board in cases where the decision of the hall judicial boards are questioned; it also is to try all offenses against Univer­sity regulations.

Cases tried by the campus board will not be trials per se. The board’s aim is to reach a just solution after attaining an over­view of the problem, rather than to dole out punishm ent through a strict enforcem ent of the rules. The task of the board members, according to Richard Urda, Judicial Coordinator, is to realize the problems of student life, to be sensitive to these problems, and to respond appro­priately.

T h re e non-voting faculty members, a lawyer, and a psychologist are to serve as ad­visors to the board. Five stu­dents, one faculty member, the psychologist, and the lawyer will be present at each hearing. The student members present will be

chosen according to a rotation schedule to be set up by the Dean of Students. Thus, it will be impossible to hand-pick a board for any particular case.

The corrective powers of the judicial board include the dis­pensation of all the punitive measures in the Student Manual, including expulsion. In addition to direct punishm ent, the board may refer the offender to coun­seling or other rehabilitory ser­vices.

Urda pointed out that the problems of a college campus differ from those of the cities. Thus, a different type o f judicial system is necessary. The campus judicial board, according to Urda, is such a system of “ frater­nal correction.”

Counseling Center cites faculty as key to success

■ ■ ■

By Greg Rowi nsk i“The faculty are the key peo­

ple ,” according to Mr. Sheridan P. McCabe, director o f the Coun­seling Center, in referring stu ­dents to the center. Mr. McCabe directed his remarks to the Faculty Senate at last night’s m eeting at the Center for Con­tinuing Education.

McCabe felt that this role of the faculty has not been used enough in the past. He suggested tha t the majority of those who v is i t the center are “self- referred,” followed by those dean-referred and the faculty referrals. He stated that the latter two were reversed at most universities. Professor Edward Manier suggested that the cause of this was the faculty’s lack of understanding of the work of the center.

Approximately 300-400 stu­dents visit the center annually, estim ated McCabe. He said that every student needs help in that

he requires an open atmosphere in which to live, though “ few classify themselves as guys who need help.”

McCabe voiced the opinion tha t the lack of co-education is less of a problem than an in­ability of many students to talk to girls w ithout the “ forced a t­mosphere or com m itm ent of a date.”

The usual problem which the student brings to the center is the choice o f a major. The dis­cussion, com m ented McCabe, will usually lead in to some underlying problem the student is troubled by.

McCabe outlined the work of the center, emphasizing its re­search, an attem pt to meet the problems of tom orrow , like “de­hum anization in the large univer­sity .” The tests which the center offer are chiefly effective, he contended, in giving the student a chance to make a “self­inventory", providing starting ground for his discussion with

Committee soon to choose Academic Council members

The Nominating Com mittee selecting the student represen­tatives for the Academic Council will probably being work soon and may com plete the selections before Thanksgiving, according to Bill Wilka, Academic Affairs Commissioner.

Bill WilkaThe five undergraduate repre­

sentatives are undergoing a two- part selection process deter­mined by the Academic Council. S tudent groups within the col­leges of Arts and Letters and Business have com pleted prelimi­nary interviews. The College of Science and Engineering is ex­pected to finish soon.

Each undergraduate college will recommend three candidates to the student review board which consists of SBP Dave Krashna and a representative from each of the four collegs. Two members of the present Academic Council will sit on the selection com m ittee in a non­voting capacity.

Wilka, an ex-officio member of the Academic Council, dis­cussed the reasons that the coun­cil did not have the student representative elected to office. He noted it would be “virtually impossible” to provide the stu ­dent body with the inform ation about each candidate now being gathered in the personal inter­views. Wilka thought that a “po­litical contest was not justified” since the Academic Council re­quires a “ different sort of per­son” than a campus politician.

Wilka also stressed the “ac­tive” role tha t the Academic Council plays in the com munity. He noted that the council had made “im portan t” decisions re­garding the Strike, the Princeton Plan vote, the new marking system, the pass-fail option and o ther areas of student concern.

He thought that the council was a “prestigious body” and that the selection process should provide “com petent, articulate students” to serve.

The Academic Council meets again on December 10. Wilka emphasized the im portance of com pleting the selection by that meeting. He also noted that two graduate representatives have yet to be selected.* & * * + - * * * * * * * * * * * * *

in Room 313 of the Administra­tion Building is provided by 4 doctors o f Counselling Psycholo­gy and 7 graduate assistants.

O ther activities of the center, according to McCabe, besides testing and individual and group counselling, include the O ut­reach program, which takes the center to the students, the Sophom ore Testing Program, and the “ branch offices” in Alumni and Farley Halls. Also, a paraprofessional training pro­gram, for such projects as Neigh­borhood Self Help, is now in the planning stage.

A fter McCabe’s presentation, the Secretary o f the Senate, Fr. Edward Banas, presented a sum­mary of the Senate’s resolutions since 1968. Discussion opened over certain resolutions which seemed to have “ disappeared” at the Adm inistration level. The power of the Senate was de­bated, with views ranging from a

Budget GoodThere has been much painful waddling. There has been sad posturing on

the part of some members o f the administration, on the part o f some Senators, and on the part of some greedy organizations. But the budget has finally come out o f the com m ittee o f the whole. And it is a good budget.

The Senate, cognizant o f the fact that money m ust go back to the halls, was most wise, and m ost providant, in cutting the Union’s budget by two thousand dollars and concurrently raising the HPC’s budget by twenty-five hundred dollars. We can only hope that the HPC will use the money, not to stage an elaborate An Tostal, but to help each hall as it attem pts to make itself a pleasant place in which to stop and stay.

The senate bailed Student Governmetn out of a lot of trouble when it decided to usurp what was previously the Student Union Academic Commission’s privilege to pass judgem ent over the speaker policy. Whereas previously Academic Commission and the Academic Commission alone decided who would receive student monies to come on campus, now the Senate must approve any speaker costing over three hundred dollars. Thus, the responsibility of providing a balanced speaker’s policy will rest with anelected Senate which is itself far more politically balanced than the appointed, inbred Academic Commission.

There have been some illogical decisions — such as granting the Afro-American and Mexican-American society more money than their budget indicated they had use for, but by and large the decisions were good.

The Senate now comes out o f the com m ittee of the whole and votes, the budget for a final tim e, up or down. This publication hopes they vote it up. And this publication hopes that future budgets are as full of canny good sense as the one being proposed now.

Kezele for SLCThe Observer reluctancly and with no particular joy, endorses Floyd

Kezele for the recently vacated tow er’s SLC position.Mr. Kezele is a lim ited candidate, and he lacks both dynamism and

originality. Nonetheless, he has a fairly acute grasp of the nature o f the SLC and o f the issues which confront it. In a time when it is im portant that relationships between student members o f the body and adm inistration and faculty representatives be as vital as is humanly possible, Kezele would fill the acute gaps between factions and serve as a moderating influence on racous extremes.

In tru th , there are only two real issues confronting the SLC now. One is coeducation, and the path to that end has already been charted. The other is Sophom ore cars, and its fate will be determined in the coming weeks.

It is here where Mr. Kezele indicates his most apparent superiority. Whereas his opponent indicated that he would push for coeducation dorms by 1972-3, and blithely asserted that he would see no trouble getting such action through the Board o f Trustees, Kezele showed a far firmer grasp of reality by suggesting th t an all-girl dorm on the campus was in the near future if the SLC acted responsibly.

Whereas Mr. Kezele’s opponent was vague and indecisive on the question o f Sophomore cars, finally agreeing that all students with cars should have to pay a registration fee o f $ 5 0 -$ 100 per year, even though Sophomores can park cars near the campus for that am ount now, Mr. Kezele was ready to predict that the bill presently before the SLC would fail, explain why it would fail, and suggest an alternative - the Senate-passed M ateja-G iuffrida bill of last year.

There have been, and could be, better candidates than Floyd Kezele. However, there are none in this election. Therefore the Observer suggests that tow er residents cast their votes in this SLC election for Floyd Kezele.

Armando Alonzo

A ResponseThe recent Observer editorial. Deal for the Students, has

apparently raised the ire o f thes Mexican - American society. In an effort to give the cards a closer look the Observer here pub­lishes this response, written by Armando Alonzo, chairman o f the Mexican - American Society (MECtlA).

The editorial, Deal for the Students, which was carried by The Observer on November 13, 1970, has presented an inaccurate and unobjective report of MECHA, the Chicano (Mexican American) student organization.

What are the facts concerning the increase of MECHA’s budget?On October 15, 1970, MECHA appeared before the Finance

Com m ittee of Student Government with its program and budget. At this time, the Finance Com m ittee believed that the estim ated costs o f postage and printing had been conservatively estimated in view of the fact that the outlined program merited additional support. MECHA concurred with the Finance Com mittee, and, consequently, MECHA agreed to ask for an increase in the budget from $1325 to $ 1500. In no way can the editorialist claim that MECHA had “ totally underestim ated” its costs.

Futherm ore, the editorial’s conclusion that “we suggest that organizations incapable of doing minimal work such as estimating their costs and developing their budgets would be hardly able to ” run good programs is illogical, as far as MECHA is concerned, for his premise that we are not able to draw up sound budgets is inaccuarate. Moreover, the inferences which may be gotten from this editorial quote are ugly and malicious. MECHA condemns the implication that MECHA might not be able to run a good program. We wonder how an editorialist can present such implications when he has not interviewed the members of MECHA or even read MECHA’s proposal.

The editorialist also claims that MECHA did not seek support for an increase in the budget because MECHA members were not present at the voting session, a session which MECHA was not asked to appear at by the Student Government. On the o ther hand, MECHA did officially appear before the Senate to make its presentation long before the voting session. Yet the writer did not m ention this.

MECHA makes its positron clear so that the student body may be knowledgeable of the facts for MECHA wants support for its program.

Therefore, MECHA calls upon the editorialist to publicly make his position lucid and accurate on MECHA and its activities.

Ann-Therese DarinA Start

Although “1 want a girl just like the girl that goes to coed schools” has been adapted lately as the Notre Dame S tudents’ m otto , it is questionable whether imm ediate coeducation of the two schools is the most prudent action at this time.

To announce coeducation this late in the year seems unlikely since both of the school’s admissions offices are almost finished accepting applicants for next year’s freshmen classes. Another factor impeding coeducation in Septem ber 1971 is the time element. For both schools’ Board of Trustees, adm inistrations, faculty, student and alumni (ae) representatives to agree to a plan may take quite some time. These snags, however, should not lead to another year of the present status quo. Perhaps, the solution for the time-being may be one-year experim ental co-exchange residence plan. Some of the St. Mary’s students would live at Notre Dame, while some of the Notre Dame students would live at St. Mary’s. Two halls which would seem by their physical plants to be ideal for such an arrangement are the two wings of Regina at S t Mary’s (300 students) and Keenan- Stanford at Notre Dame.

To begin the program with a limited num ber may be most advisable. The co-exchange plan began this way when most of the problems were ironed out with the small group, the program was opened for everyone. This plan would move us one step closer to coeducation, while not causing too many problems for next year.

A nother alternate plan may be the Holy Cross Hall experim ent. In this plan presently being discussed at both- campuses. Holy Cross (N.D.) would serve as a dorm itory and classroom building for a limited num ber of Notre Dame and St. Mary’s students.

At first, the promoters of the plan wanted to have selected majors have all their classes there. Then is was decided that maybe only taking a few classes would be a better arrangement.

It seems unlikely that Notre Dame or St Mary’s will be able to adapt to the much-needed co-education program by next fall. A fter the Mayhew-Parks report is presented to the adm inistration, it must subsequently be acted upon by the Board of Trustees of both schools. However, developing an experimental coeducation plan would make things a lot easier when the two schools decide to go co-ed.

The bowels of America.. Life in a factoryEvery once in a while i think back to

the summ er that I worked for General Motors, and I recall the men that worked there and still work there, and 1 imagine the millions of men and women in Japan, Russia, the United States, China, France, England, and the other mass production societies of the modern world.

For the person who has not worked on an assembly line, it is difficult to be concerned about the quality of a worker’s life when he is not physically suffering. War, hunger, and poverty are more dram atic issues tha t rouse the studen t’s hackles. The unfounded belief that technology will someday make the unskilled worker obsolete is accepted, and it seems to us that the union protects the interests o f the workers.

While the U.A.W. strives for earlier retirem ent, longer vacations, and higher pay, it is im portant to consider what Walter Reuther said before his death, “The prospect of tightening up bolts every two minutes for eight hours for th irty years doesn’t lift the human spirit.” A more blunt and honest statem ent, 1 believe, is that mass production work destroys the human spirit. The technique of Henry Ford was that work becomes more efficient when the necessity for human thought or creativity is removed, and of course he was right. The steady drip, drip, drip of m onotony upon the vitality o f the

w o r k i n g m a n is th e o r e t ic a l ly com pensated for in the auto industry by high wages, job security, and the prospect o f an early retirem ent. More pay does not lessen the harmful effects o f continual and daily boredom , though it may induce the worker to stay at the job longer and with fewer complaints.

Yet the higher wages have not really

staved o ff discontent, as absenteeism averages 5% among GM employees (10% on Mondays and Fridays), the quit rate at Ford is 25.2% a year, and alcohol and drug use in factories increases every year. A nother trick is sabotage. The men on the line I worked on would drop screws down in to the chain of the line, chuckling as the bald-headed foreman would race up, shouting, “God damn it, w ho’s got me dow n!” In Detroit, men put stones, tools, and parts inside of a bumper, causing a perm anently non-fixable rattle.

But for every man that quits or dies or retires or is fired, there are tw enty applicants eager to gain the financial security that the large factory offers. And so many people say, “ Factory work is all that these men know how to do,” which is to say that any m ass-production society grows by subhuman work, and must make sure that men will become less than men for a price, which by the way raises some questions about the real goals of American education.

O ther people ask, “How are you going to get cars and refrigerators for 200 million people w ithout the assembly lines?” This line subtly points out tha t in th e in d u s t r ia l s o c ie t ie s , a lm o s t unconsciously, we value cars and stereos above the spirit o f that nation. And the whole problem of planned obsolescence and the constant changing of styles, with the societal pressure to have the newest thing on the m arket, is one cause of the mass production mania. (Though I rem em ber my father explaining to me why planned obsolescence in the auto industry was necessary for a healthy econom y.) (And don’t forget, folks, that with all this PROGRESS even the African tribesm an will soon be able to drive to th e a u to m o b i le f a c to r y in h is mass-produced car.)

Many of the young men on the line are saddled by a young and expensive family,

or dream "of saving enough money to go back to school, or want money for a down paym ent on a home. But many of the men on the line are truly the prisoners of a consumptive society, their minds constantly set on a new souped up car (General Motors givith, and General Motors taketh away) or the stereo that Hugh Hefner promises will make the big difference in your sex life.

Among men on the assembly line workers, there are men that have been on the job long enough to be spiritually drained, men tha t consider themselves prisoners of financial circumstances, and m e n d r i v e n t o t h e i r o w n depersonalization by the insatiable hope that “life will be wonderful when I can buy my GTO” (bu t it is the anticipation of the GTO that counts, the Christmas eve fantasizing about what it will be like when...)

To live for the present would be absurd for the mass production line worker; he m ust live for the next break period, lunch, the final bell, the next Sunday (and the Sunday existential vaccuum) or for the two week vacation in Canada, or for retirem ent.

The erosion of the hum an ability to create objects of beauty, value, and genuine utility does not only deaden the men that are deprived of meaningful and necessary work. The quietly growing cancer of deadening overconsumption and meaningless work is everywhere: in the falccid popular mass culture of Harold Robbings “literature,” and in the educational system tha t must socialize children to believe in the m yth of “Progress through Technology.”

Paul Erlich, the Stanford biologist, mentions that the next forty million Americans will pollute the earth as much as two billion Indonesians, at our relative rates of consum ption. (Technological m an’s spirit and soil die a common

death.) And in the race for power, the bogey of the GNP must constantly rise or the stock market crumbles, so that the population-even with a stable birth ra te -m ust build, buy, consum e, and pollute at a higher rate per person. Which means 1) more created desires through advertising so we buy more of what we do not need; 2) more machines and factories to build the things we do not need 3) an even less individualistic, more mass produced, citizen-consumer; and 4) more and m ore irreparable pollution to the land and waters and sky.

I am sorry. I have raged at length. This is not objective, value-less journalism. Some will say that I have romanticized the concept of work, that I have ignored the good effects o f mass production, that I have painted an overly bleak picture of the American factory worker. And after all, I, like everyone else in the society, benefit and am affected by the very prosperity tha t I have condem ned so self-righteously.

To conclude: the social diseases of the w orld , such as poverty, war, the suppression of liberties, all receive the c o n d e m n a t io n o f s tu d e n t s an d hum anitarians everywhere, while the basic problem of the need of hum an spirit fo r m eaningful work goes largely unnoticed. We go, in T.S. E lliot’s w ord’s “ r o u n d a n d ro u n d th e prick ly pear” -hollow men. The evil o f society goes unnoticed, cloaked in virtue.

If we are, as individuals and as a “new ” generation, to confront the malady of the technocratic age, if we are to be truly free in mind, in body, and in spirit, then we should quickly recognize that the ever growing material pie contains fruits pleasurable but poisonous.

The food for the m odern sickness is bought at a terrible hum an price.

Impressions of W est VirginiaMy first impressions of West Virginia

were provided by the hills in and around Charleston, as my plane broke through the clouds and descended in the direction of the Charleston airport. As these beauti­ful hills seemed to rise to meet the plane, the idea of spending seven weeks in the “ m ountain sta te” finally became a reali­t y .

From our meeting place at the airport, we made our way down to Welch, a two hour drive south of Charleston, where we were to make our “hom e” for seven weeks. We immediately m et “ Mom” and “Pop” Baley, the Episcopal minister through whom we would work. Their dedication to and knowledge of the poeple in the area at once impressed and excited us, for their words held the promise of a wonderful summer. We wasted no time in making the 40 minute trip out to Avondale, the hollow were we would spend more of our time. Pop Baley was having a service there that night and was most anxious to have us get acquain­ted with as many people as we could.

Avondale is a small worked-out logging camp of about 60 families, located in the heart of the coal region of Appalachia. A dirt road winds its way up the “holler” to a strip mine at its head. The houses are situated along either side of this road, some down in the valley along the Dry Fork of the Tug River, and others scat­tered up the m ountainside. The warmth with which we were greeted that first night eased my apprehensions and I knew Avondale, West Virginia, was going to be a place like no other.

By the middle of the first week we were settled in Welch and taking stock of our new heighborhood. The two girls lived with Reverend Lawton Posey, the Presbyterian minister of Welch, and his family, whose hospitality was wonderful.

The two boys were given an apartm ent above the Giant Dollar Store. These living accom odations worked out ideally.

By the second week we had purchased a ’62 Falcon station wagon from a gener­ous man in Keystone, a town ten miles from Welch, and the home of Dave Pais, one of the project members. This luxury mobile served us well, for it was our mode of transportation to Avondale every day.

We spent our first two weeks in Avon­dale getting acquainted with as many families as we could. As strangers to the area, I think we all felt rather apprehen­sive about how to approach this situation , for we had little or no idea of the impr'ession we would convey or the recep­tion we would receive. However, our questions were seen answered, and friend­ly and open receptionwere given made us feel like we were being welcomed home. This friendliness and hospitality were two of the many impressions the people of this m ountain area left me with. W ithout their guidance and willingness to assist us, this project would never have gotten off the ground.

Once we had made our presence known by daily trips up the “holler” , we organized a square dance in the church basement with the help of the Whitiker and Muncy families. Flat footin’, Square dancing, and plenty of real toe-tappin’ fiddling music made for the most enjoy­able evening I had had in a long time. A large crowd gathered that night, and we Knew this w ouldn’t be the last tim e we would enjoy a Saturday night get-toge­ther. Five more such evenings followed during the summer. The idea that these people really know how to have fun struck me imm ediately, for it was quite obvious how the com pany of their neigh­bors, and tnc “ dow n.hom e” music were what meant so much to them. An appre­ciation of the simple p leasures in life

absorbed us all.

As the days passed by, I began to notice how time began to mean so little. A fter years of an environm ent where one lived by the clock, the adjustm ent to the slower pace of the m ountains was diffi­cult at first. However, after the realizat­ion that these people really do enjoy life, despite their lack of education, indoor plumbing, and other ingredients of the “affluent society” : I knew they possessed something far more valuable.

Our days were spent in clearing the land adjacent to the church for a play­ground area, conducting art classes twice a week, joining the Avondale Baseball team, visiting, and generally enjoying the m ountain scenery and life. The last two weeks we erected the playground, after obtaining equipm ent from an abandoned school. The McDowell County Board of Education donated a slide, see-saws, and swing set. With the generous help and

co-operation of the guys in Avondale we managed to dig up these places and transplant them there.

I could go into great depth and detail about the people we met and the lives they lead. I will only say how much we appreciated their openness, generosity and just being who they are. It is some­times hard for me to visualize them now - what they are doing, whether they ever talk about us “young-un” , and what our seven weeks might have meant to them. Out country is changing rapidly, yet change comes slowly to the mountains. Evaluating bo th sides of the coin, it seems progress has taken the ability to see the simple, m atter-of-fact joys and sorrows of life, from us. The individual members of this project took much with them when they left West Virginia. How much we might have left there we will never know, for the opportun ity of personal exchange of this sort cannot be measured.

Money: The Story of Higher Education

N ot long ago it was no big problem for a college to raise money. The president simply went out and put the mooch on some fat alumnus. But tha t won’t work today. Most alumni, shaky about what’s hap­pening on American campuses, are sewing up their pockets. And even those few who can still be snowed are driving hard bargains. Not long ago, for instance, Walter “Boola” McMeekin, Yale '07, got a new gymnasium named after him and all he gave was three dollars and forty cents.

Well sir, what’s a college to do? If they try to raise tuition just once more, the remaining buildings will surely be levelled. By the parents, I mean. Nor can colleges cut operating costs any further be­cause they long ago eliminated all the frills like, for example, heating the dormitories. So where will they find the money they so desperately need?

Well sir, if yours happens to be a college where beer is sold in the student union, you’ve got it licked. All you have to do is put in a plentiful supply of Miller High Life and stand back. You’ll see business boom beyond your most hopeful dreams because every undergrad in the country is positively bananas about Miller High Life! And why wouldn’t he be? Is any other beer so tasty? So zesty? So trusty? So gutsy? So feisty? So feasty? So yeasty? So maltsy? So hopsy?

No, dear friends, Miller stands alone, light-years above the others. And the others will never equal it, for they will never learn Miller’s marvelous brewing formula, a jealously guarded secret for more than 115 years. In fact, the formula today is known to only one man on earth—Miller’s chief brewmaster—who will never, never talk because he is not only a deaf-mute, he is also a Transylvanian who, as you know, can turn into a bat if he is ever captured.

xm m .

But I digress. Supposing you don’t sell beer in the union, where then can you raise the money? Well sir, here’s what they did at the Idaho State College of Belles Lettres and Spot Welding.

What they did was add a six-dollar cover charge to each meal in the student cafeteria. Naturally they had to justify the charge, so they started doing floor shows during meals. Believe me, folks, if you’re ever in the neighborhood, be sure to drop in. I t ’s worth every penny.

The show opens with Professor Norman Glebe, the ever-popular head of the sociology and weather-stripping department, doing several chucklesome stunts and imitations. First he sings Trees as it might be done by Jose Feliciano, Georges Pompidou, and Woody Woodpecker. Next he sings School Days as it might be done by the Lennon Sisters, the Mayo Brothers and Mark Rudd. For his last number he does that old reliable, can’t-miss, sure-fire crowd pleaser: he wrestles a naked bison.

A tough act to follow, right? But wait. After him comes Professor Nirvana Sigafoos, the ever-popular head of the Finnish and other gut­tural languages department, whose specialty is swallowing. She starts commonplacely enough by swallowing a sword, and at this point the audience always yawns and says, “ Ho-hum. Another sword swallower.” But she soon disabuses them of that notion, you may be sure! Next she swallows two Ph.D. theses and a Buick. But wait. She finishes by in­gesting the entire buildings and grounds department! Well sir, all I can say is if Ed Sullivan ever catches this act, there’ll be a bright new star in the Broadway firmament!

After Professor Sigafoos’s act the audience is naturally half-dead from applauding, so the finale is a welcomely quiet act. Three spores come out and float for twenty minutes. Then, spent but happy, the student body retire to their pallets and sleep the clock around.

And so to those of you who despair of solving the fiscal problems of our colleges, I say fie! Just remember one thing: America did not become the world’s foremost producer of wing nuts and nylon pie- filling by running away from a fight!

I f w ing nuts and nylon pie-filling don’t grab you, how about trying M iller H ig h L ife , the Champagne o f Beers and the sponsor o f this column? M iller is available in cans, bottles, kegs . . . and delicious everyway.

Court favors Panther reporterSAN FRANCISCO (UPI) - A

“ It is not every news source that is as sensitive as the Black Panther Party” about coverage of its affairs, the court said.

“The secrecy that surrounds grand jury testim ony necessarily introduces uncertainty in the minds of those who fear a be­trayal of their confidences,” the ruling continued.

The court noted that Caldwell had already said he could give no testim ony about the Panthers that was not confidential except what he ahd already w ritten in his news reports.

Theismann-a man who makes it goby Terry Shields Observer Sports Editor

“I think that it denotes the all around best college football player in the nation. I t ’s the highest honor that a collegiate player can receive. Why, even considereation for this award is a great honor. Still, you have to look at the whole m atter ob­jectively. Any success that an individual attains is really credit for the whole team. I don’t feel any added pressure on me be­cause of the award. All I’m worried about it playing a good game and helping the team win.”

Joe Theismann, a young man who may very well own every record possible for a quarterback to gain at Notre Dame says this about the trophy that sounds so great with the mention of his mane, the Heisman Trophy.

It w ouldn’t be fair or true to say that the Heisman means no­thing to Joe, but it would be tru thful to say that at the mo­ment it is a secondary matter. Winning is the big thing for Mr. Theismann.

Although Notre Dame Sports Inform ation Director Roger O. Valdiserri could tell from the

Terry Sh ields mmm*

start that Theismann had some­thing on the ball, it took others a little longer to see this. When Joe entered Valdiserri’s office for the first time his name was pronounced Theeze-man and he was unattached (as far as girls go). After he left the Office his name was Thighs-man and he had this attractive blonde (Shari Browne) as a, well shall we say, friend. (That friend will become Mrs. Joe Thighs-man on Dec. 5.) The pronunciation also played a later role in Jo e ’s life. It’s easy to rem eber a catchy little phrase like “Theismann for Heisman.”

Last season Theismann was referred to as “a good college quarterback” by most writers and coaches. Very few people gave him a chance of ever attain­ing the status of All-American, not to m ention a Heisman candi­date. Joe had other ideas. Every­one has remarked about the dif­ference between Joe Theismann 1969 and the ’70 model.

Says the wiry senior from South River, New Jersey, “Con­fidence in myself and confidence in Tom G atewood is probably the single-most im portant factor that has led to this change. I

DETROIT (UPI) - If Joe Frazier successfully defends his heavyweight title on Wednesday night against Bob Foster the champion wants to fight Cassius Clay next.

That might not come as any great surprise but Yank Durham. Frazier’s manager, finally made it official Monday. Frazier had just finished the longest, hardest training grind of his career - nearly 175 rounds of sparring over the past six weeks - and Durham sat answering questions in the middle of a crowd of fans and reporters.

“What about Clay?” asked a le tte r carrier standing at the edge of the crowd.

“ L o o k ” Durham replied “ we’re here to fight Foster so let’s talk about him .” „

SOUTHWEST: Frank Broyles, Arkansas; Hayden Fry, SMU; Frank Kush, Arizona State; Dar­rell Royal Texas; Bill Yeoman, Houston.

While most of the reporters grudgingly were willing to let the subject o f Clay slip away the mailman was persistent. Durham fin a lly shrugged and asked “Okay who do you want me to fight next?”

“Clay” the le tter carrier said.“ If th a t’s what you w ant”

Durham answered “you got him .”

The manager even disclosed his demands for the bout — “split the money down the middle and give us an 18 foot ring.” Clay prefers to fight in 20 foot rings because he likes the room to move.

Although the 26 year old Frazier is a 5-1 favorite to re­move the obstacle from his path the Philadelphian never trained harder for any fight.

The Irishmmmmmmmmmmmmm Pug Cuttin ’ Time

I remember when my high school coach would face a critical decision and how he would always refer to the situation as “ rug cu ttin ’ tim e.” Well, i t ’s that time of year when the top teams in the country must prove themselves to the pollsters, the fans and most im portant to their own coaches. It is indeed “ rug cu ttin ’ tim e.”

For Notre Dame’s Fighting Irish the next two weeks will be crucial and there are innumberable things that will be decided. First and foremost is the National Championship. However, there may be an exception made this year with both wire service polls waiting until ii"ter the post-season games to pick their champ.

Not only the National Championship will be decided but also some individual honors. Notable among these honors to ND fans is the Heisman Trophy. I t ’s no secret that Joe Theismann is a very worthy candidate for this award. At present Joe ranks second in the nation in total offense with a per game average of 267.0 yards. The little publicized Pat Sullivan of Auburn has first place under control with an average performance worth 280.2 yards. Jim Plunkett, the o ther chief candidate for the Heisman (assuming Archie Manning’s injury will keep him out), is in third place nationally with 262.0 yards per game. The Heisman votes must be in on Saturday, Nov. 21. The winner will be made known on Dec. 3.

O ther stats that are impressive in Jo e ’s favor are his nation leading yards per pass attem pt average of 9.9 and his second leading 60% com pletion percentage. Theismann is 17th overall in forward passing on an average of 14.7 com pletions per game.

Theism ann’s battery mate Tom Gateweed has dropped to second in the receiving departm ent. A guy named Mike Mikolayunas of Davidson is the leader with an average of 8.8 grabs per contest. Gatewood has hauled in the Theismann bombs "at a 7.9 clip. “The Swinging G ate” has caught 63 passes so far this season, breaking Jack Snow’s single season record of 60. He still needs 140 yards to overtake the Ram star for yardage in one season. Not only this, but also Tom, who is only a junior, needs but 284 yards to bust Jim Seym our’s yardage mark for a career. That mark is 2,113 yards.

All of these records mean little to the men who are setting them unless the Irish can finish this season with an unblemished record. LSU will be a challenge as Georgia Tech proved that Southern football can present a barrier for the Irish.

Their defensive statistics are impressive to say the least. In total defense the Bayou Tigers rank tenth. In rushing defense they rank first, giving up a meager 46.0 yards per game. In scoring defense the Tigers are 5th giving up 7.8 points per game.

This presents the classic confrontation of the great defense versus the great offense. The Irish offensive eleven still are first with a540.1 clip.

The Tigers have not perm itted a touchdown by rushing in their last eleven games. In their last 20 games the Tigers have won 18, including nine of ten last season and seven of eight this year.

The Irish will go in to this game w ithout the services of co-captain guard Larry DiNardo. This is a poor tim e to lose your most valuable blocker but the ND depth should provide an adequate replacem ent, probably Jim Humbert or Denny DePremio.

DiNardo, an All-American in 1969, was one of 12 outstanding college seniors honored with National Football Foundation graduate fellowships. DiNardo will be honored at the Foundation’s 13 annual Football Hall of Fame awards dinner Dec. 8 in New York. They will share the spotlight along with eight Hall o f Fame inductees that include Notre Dam e’s Frank Leahy and Don Miller.

think the team has more confi­dence in me too. Being a senior, I also feel like more of a leader. This whole team has made me be tte r.”

This team tha t Joe speaks about is now involved in a bitter struggle between four other great ball clubs and each things that their team ranks No. 1. Joe stresses the im portance of the polls. “Since Notre Dame isn’t in a conference the only thing that we can really do to prove our team ’s value is to finish as high as possible in the National rank­ings. The polls aren’t all that im portant right now but at the end of the season I’d like to see us up there .”

Mentioned before was the fact that Theismann will hold num­erous records at ND before fi­nishing his career. These records are impressive to many people but how much weight does Theismann give them? “None, absolutely none. My biggest con­cern is throwing no intercep­tions. T hat’s part o f a perfect performance. As you can see I have been far from perfect this season. Maybe you could say tha t they (records) are im por­tan t as a goal. I don’t really care much about these records. I’m just lucky to play with such a great group of fellows. They give me some static about all the publicity sometimes, but they’re just kidding. Take Dan Novakov. One day he wore one of those bring green Theismann for Heis­man buttons. It broke every­body up.”

Joe is probably the one man on the team who comes in to the most coqtact with head coach Ara Parseghian. After four years Jo e ’s view of the head m entor has never changed. “ No, my opinion of coach has never changed. If anything, ne views have been enhanced. He is a square man. He lays things on the line. He doesn’t treat us just as football players but as men.

Coach Pagna is the same way. I owe the most to these tw o men. Coach Parseghian is really more than a coach. He is a psycholo­gist o f sorts. He makes you want to win. He is probably the most le a r n e d an d knowledgeable coach in the country .”

Since the 6’ 177 lb. signal caller stressed how im portant the team was to him the inevi­table question arose. How good is Notre Dame? W ithout a se­cond’s hesitation Theismann, with a very serious and sincere look (very unlike his usual joking m anner), stated, “ We’re Number One. We’re getting bet­ter with each game. I really

don’t think this team has put it all together yet. When we peak with both offense and defense in one game, look o u t!”

Theismann will have more than an adequate opportunity to guide this team to peak. With LSU and Southern Cal coming in successive weeks the Irish better put it together.” The LSU game is Theism ann’s last chance to impress the Heisman voters. The votes must be in by Saturday and the Heisman winner will be known on Dec. 3rd. The next few weeks will tell a lo t more about Joe Theismann and the team that he makes go.

shells stored in underground bunkers the largest such ammu nition seizure of the Indochina war, military spokesman said yesterday.

Officers directing the 6000 man sweep named “operation Nguyen Hue” after a Vietnamese national hero said they had found the huge store o f 85 millimeter shells in underground installations 200 miles northeast of the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh.

The operation launched Mon­day is the first push into no rth ­eastern Cambodia since Ameri­can troops spearheaded a drive into the area last May spokes­men in Saigon said.

Cambodian soldiers had aban­doned the densely jungled thinly

p o p u lavinccs to the Communists in order to concentrate on pro tec t­ing key provinces around Phnom Penh.

Elsehwere in Cambodia, Com­munist troops attacked Cam­bodian on Route 7 about 40 miles northeast o f Phnom Penh before dawn Tuesday killing nine persons and wounding 44,

according to field reports.The report said the heaviest

fighting occurred at a position held by two government batta­lions at Odar, with an estimated 500 Communists attem pting to overrun the camp in a five hour attack.

In Saigon, the U.S. command said that two more American

be withdrawn from Vietnam be­fore Christmas under President Nixpn’s Phase Five redeploy­m ent program.

Command spokesmen said the 3rd Battalion, 12th Infantry of the 4th Infantry Division and the 25th Aviation Battalion of the 25th Infantry had “stood down” to pack for home.

Tues­day hit the Ho Chi Minh Trail extensions into Cambodia for the second consecutive day, U.S. spokesmen said. The huge jets have flown over 1300 missions against the trail in Laos and its extensions into Cambodia and South Vietnam since October 8 in a massive effort to cut NorthVietnamese supply lines.

South Bend site for demonstrationSouth Bend has been selected

as a target city for the first mass dem onstration during the Nixon ad m in is tra tio n to dramatize what the organizers call the government’s responsibility for high unem ploym ent. The action will be held on Saturday, December 12, I 970.

S o u th Bend was chosen because its high concentration of manufacturing firms makes it p a r t i c u la r ly v u ln e ra b le to anti-inflationary strategy, thus causing a high percentage of unem ployment. The organizers feel the Nixon adm inistration is responsible.

Student Senate accused o f racism in decisionsAccording to Afro American

Society chairman Ernie Jackson, the decisions of the student sen­ate so far concerning financial allocations to his organization are the reflections of a racist body. He questioned the alloca­

tion of $3000.00 to the hall presidents and the rejection of numerous facets of the Afro; American and Mexican Ameri­can budgets. Jackson felt that this reflected the racist priorities o f what was supposed to be a

representative body. He cited the fact that the senate had a moral responsibility and a duty to represent the interests of min­ority students as members of the student body.

Jackson also blasted the cov­erage the Observer gave to the issue. He felt that often state­ments were taken out of context and blown out of proportion in order to “make a headline” , and that this was “sensationalism” . Jackson stated that an editorial such as the one criticising the allocation of the senate to the Mcxican-American Society and supporting the three thousand dollar proposal of the hall pres­ident’s council was blatantly ra­cist.

In answer to the allegation that his society showed lack of concern by its absence, Jackson said that he and members of the Afro American Society were at the first meeting and that they explained their budget. He felt that they did an adequate job and that there was no need to

continue attending numerous meetings to explain philosophies and idealologies to a body that has stated its intention to ration­ally consider budgets.

In reference to the discussion of the budget, Jackson felt that the Senate was being “too picky” and getting hung up with trivialities. He m entioned a state­ment by one of the senators that the representatives were going to be rational in consideration of the budget. “In that light, there is no need of dealing with trivial­ities and requiring unnecessary explanation,’’according to Jack­son.

Jackson stated in conclusion that “ the student body, through its elected representatives has shown blacks and chicanos that m inority students can no longer put good faith in it, and that its priorities are no longer or never were, concerned with minority groups.” He also felt this indica­ted that minority groups were dealing with a racist student body full of insensitivity and unconcern for their benefits.
