Rybarczyk impeachment possib le

SU ticket scandal revealedby Jerry Lutkus Editor-in-Chief

Student Union D irector J im Rybarczyk explained yesterday that of the 500 tickets secured by Student Union fo r the Southern California football game, 446 were sold to the students. The rem aining 54 tickets were purchased by Student Union commissioners and personnel.

The Student Government Board of Commissioners w ill meet tonight a t 6 p.m. in the Student Government offices to consider the ticke t situation. Dennis Etienne adm itted last n ight that the possibility exists that Rybarczyk could be impeached.

Rybarczyk stated that the 54 tickets bought by the Student Union people were divided in this fashion: 24 tickets went to the four union commissions, six tickets per commission; six tickets went to special projects organizers which covers M ard i Gras, the M inority Commissioner and Concerts; 15 tickets were divided by the five SU adm instra to rs; and six went for un iversity purposes.

The rem aining three tickets were put into a lo ttery involving union and student government people.

The controversy and misunderstanding over the tickets began last F riday afternoon, w ith a meeting involving Etienne and Rybarczyk.

Recollections of the meeting by the two, offer con­flic tin g accounts.

Rybarczyk said that a fte r the meeting, he was under the impression that the two had agreed to set aside ten tickets which would be included in a lo tte ry fo r student government and student union workers. The SU D irector reasoned that these were in addition to the number he had already set aside fo r the preferentia l tickets. (A ll tickets involved in the controversy were puchased by individuals w ith the ir own funds).

Etienne, however, claimed that they had agreed to set aside 10 sets of tickets to be ra ffled o ff among the students in the two organizations. Etienne said that these would be the only tickets set aside.

The student body president revealed that he became aware of the situation Monday after the tickets had been sold to the students. Alerted, he spoke w ith Rybarczyk and asked him i f he could re turn the 17 pairs of tickets that union members purchased above and beyond the 10 pairs that Etienne thought the agreement called for.

According to Etienne,o Rybarczyk responded that he could return them. Yet, Rybarczyk noted yesterday that he never promised or made any com m ittm ent on Monday to re turn the 34 tickets.

The uproar continued Tuesday andEtienne informed

“ The Board is :upset about the a ffa ir ,” he said, “ and are ina b it of a quandry about what to do. Personally, I feel i t is im portant that we re a ffirm that SU is not atonomous, but responsible to the student government and to the students.

R yb a rczyk defended the u n io n ’s system of preferentia l tickets fo r the Homecoming football game by pointing to the precedent of past years. Muth added that for last yea r’s game, Student Union members purchased approxim ately 100 of the 500 tickets secured by the union.

“ I t was past po licy,” Rybarczyk noted, “ fo r the people in Student Union to receive prefs or com- pementary tickets fo r SU sponsored events. I t ’s continuing of this for the Homecoming Game.”

He stated fu rther that his firs t responsibility is to the people in the Student Union organization, but conceded that he is “ u ltim a te ly responsible to the students.”

“ The fact that students are receiving m ore and better services this year, ” he continued, “ is a cred it to a ll people working here. The people have done a helluva lo t of unselfish w ork .”

He reasoned that the workers deserved something in return, a “ rew ard” as he termed it. " I made the decision that this is one way to give m y thanks to the people fo r the work they’ve done.”

The union leaders pointed out that many of the people who bought tickets on Monday in the Fiesta Lounge were scalping them, “ an illega l a c tiv ity ” . Rybarczyk added that “ no one I know up here w ill be using the tickets fo r scalping.”

“ We’re not ripp ing o ff the student body.” he said. “ They got 223 ticke t packages, they would not have received those i f i t wasn’t fo r the student union.”

Rybarczyk commented that “ i t ’s too late to rec tify the present situation” and suggested to the Board of Commissioners thatplans be la id fo r a fu tu re policy on the Homecoming tickets. Yet, he cla im ed that the board “ threw it by the wayside and ignored the suggestion.”

He also stated th t i t was his decision to open the ticke t office around 1 p.m . Monday instead at 7 p.m. He said he made the decision because of the size of the crowd in the Fiesta LOunge, the heat, the student’s tim e and the problems of crowd control.

“ I t was fruitless to keep that many people in there.” He stated that he was unaware of the rules that had

been established fo r the line and the tickets un til af- terhe made the decision. The rules had been st up by B ill McLean of the Ombudsmen’s Office after McLean found the crowd beginning to gather around m idn igh t Sunday.

The union leaders c la rified that Joe Russo , Sutdent Union T icket Manager did not know the 54 tickets were being withheld.

SU director, Jim Rybarczyk; "... it's too late to rectify the situation."Ken Muth, Associate D irector of the Student Union that there were a lot of complaints being registered by the Board of Commissioners. So upon M uth ’s suggestion, Etienne called the board into an in fo rtm a l session Tuesday night.

A t the session, the board voted unanimously to l im it the number of preferentia l tickets to 20 and then in ­structed Tybarczyk to return the other 34 tickets. He refused.

“ I did not deem the action necessary,” he said. “ I would not order the union members to re turn them. H- Man can do it i f he wants, but I won’t . ”

He charged that Student Government proposed the l im it of 20 tickets “ a fte r th fa c t.”

Rybarczyk fu rthe r stated that i f he forced the union members to re turn the tickets, i t would make the directors position “ worthless to the union.”

He firm ly stated that the whole decision was his and that he would stand by it.

Etienne claimed that had had Rybarcczyk stated on Monday night that i t was impossible to return the tickets “ i t would be a d iffe ren t situation, however, he said he could get the tickets back.”

H-Man beleived that the number of prefs issued was exorbitant and indicated R ybarczyk’s “ poor

judgem ent” in the m atter. When questioned, the SBP adm itted that impeachment of the Student Union D irector was a possibility and was w ith in the Board of Commisssioners constitutional ju rs id ic tion.

SLC accepts latest revisionsby Fred Graver S taff Reporter

The S tudent L ife C ouncil yesterday accepted the rules and regulations in the latest revision to the Student Manual. The revisions w ill now be sent to the rew rite committee for a fina l d ra ft to be presented at Monday’s meeting.

The f irs t topic of discussion at ye s te rd a y ’s m eeting was the present rules on parietals. These state that vis ita tion “ w ill not begin before noon on any day and are not to extend beyond 2:00a.m. on F riday and Saturday nights, and m idn ight on other nights.”

Bob Connely, a student member o f the Council, questioned the

| va lid ity of the ru le as it applies to ! football Saturdays. A motion was I made to insert the word “ nor­

m a lly ” into the passage, between the words “ w ill not” and “ begin” . D r. Robert Ackerman, d irector of s ta ff deve lopm ent fo r s tuden t a ffa irs , com m ented th a t th is change would be open to m is in ­terpretation. John Roos, assistant professor of government, proposed add ing another sentence th a t would specifically apply to football Saturdays. Professor ThomasWerge of the English Departm ent moved to add a sentence and strike the word “ norm a lly ” . The motion was passed.

The sentence to be added reads, “ On home fo o tb a ll S aturdays v is it in g hours w i l l beg in a t 10:00a.m.” This is the hourproposed to the Council by Dean of Students John Macheca.

A motion was made by Ed R ahill to move the noon hour parieta l to

8:00a.m. He cited the fact that classes begin a b 8:00, and that any tim e a fte r that, could be many reasons fo r someone entering the hall. He was answered by Dr. Ackerman and Kathy Cekanski, rec tress of Breen-Phillips, who explained that the rules are in ­tended to protect the privacy of people in the hall during the early morning hours.

This motion, and a s im ila r one made by F r. Ebey, were defeated.

Sister John M iriam , rectress of Walsh H all, commented that the rules in the new revision are positive in attitude. “ We are not re s tr ic t in g , bu t se ttin g down guidelines in the ligh t of what co­education is a ll about.”

The Council then moved to the re g u la tio n s covered in the revision. D r. Ph ilip Faccenda,

vice-president fo r student affa irs, while outlin ing instances when a d irective from the dean of students would be issued, cited the situation on campus concerning false fire alarm s. He asked the Council to m ake an a d d ition to the regulations stating that “ false fire alarm s are to be considered as a serious vio lation of U niversity ru les.”

The Council voted unanimously, after a short discussion, to lis t the addition under the safety and health regulations in the revision.

The next point of discussion centered on a comment by student Council member Maureen Lathers on ru le num ber 7 in the regulations, which states, “ P er­mission to move off-campus must be obtained from the office of the Dean o f S tuden ts .” L a th e rs

rem arked that she fe lt women were discrim inated against last year in tha t they were not allowed to move off-campus.

Sister John M iriam explained that this was done last year to insure that there would be no empty beds in the g ir ’s halls this year. She did not consider this d iscrim ination, but expedieincy in handling the m atter.

The Council unanimously voted to accept the regulations. An announcement was made early in the meeting that, contrary to an a rtic le which appeared in The Observer Tuesday, m arijuana is s till considered a serious violation by the U niversity.

The SLC meets again Monday, at 4:30 in the basement of Planner.

Off-campus office solves problemsby Tom Kruczek

Staff Reporter

“ solvethem ,”

In an a tte m p t to problems, and not create the off-campus student office has opened its door to any d ifficu lties that m ay face the nearly 1500 students who are not residing in the residence halls of Notre Dame.

The three off-campus com­missioners, M ick Hartigan, M ike Higgins, and M ark Proesel have outlined the basic plans fo r the year. D ifficu lties w ith housing, food and transportation w ill be the p rim a ry objectives to be handled by the office. In addition to these areas, any other that may be shown to s ignificantly affect off- campus students w ill be studied fo r action.

M ick Hartigan observed, “ The office can be a very complex place, but we are try ing to keep it simple so as not to create problems. But because of the size of the task of handling problems from such a large number of people, we have expanded to three commissioners, instead of jus t one.”

In sizing up the role of the off- cam pus o ffice , H a rtig a n e m ­phasized that the office w ill con­tinue to work through F r. James Shilts, the d irector of off-campus residents.

In com m enting on R ick Newman’s planned co-op food store for off-campus students, the commissioner stated, “ I called

him up and told him that i f he needs any help w ith the co-op, that the off-campus office w ill be there to help out.”

As for the p light of the off- campus student, Hartigan detailed some of the hardships that have to be met. “ For most people the rent is about $60-80 a month, plus there are the food costs. Most of the students w ill rent houses to live in w ith other guys, but some do live in apartments. The Notre Dame, Turtle Creek and the Crestwood apartments are rented by some off-campus students, but these are higher priced, so they are more

elite“ R ight now we do not have any

programs defin ite ly lined up. The three commissioners are going to meet this weekend to set our organization, but we want the people to tell us what they want us to do.”

In response to a question about the alleged forcing of people off- campus, Hartigan replied, “ We have heard some complaints about this going on. I f we have enough complaints on this coming into the office, then we w ill try to ta lk w ith u n iv e rs ity o ff ic ia ls about e s tab lish ing m ore on-cam pus housing.”

Hartigan explained that some tim e in late October, Student Government is going to conduct an exp e rim e n t w ith bus tra n ­sportation for off-campus students. However this is not in the hands of

the off-campus office, but i t w ill, if successful, benefit these people. He continued, “ We are try ing to give people a vehicle to get their problem solved.”

Volunteers are needed to help sta ff the office that is located in the basem ent o f the La F o rtu n e Student Center. The office w ill be open to hear suggestions and com p la in ts fro m 3-4 p .m . on Monday and Wednesday, and from

!7 :30-9:00 p.m ., the forum w ll be neld in Room 2A of the B lack C ultural A rts Center in La Fortune Student Center.

D ona ld P a tton , ch a irm a n , stressed the need fo r members o f the black comm unity from South Bend and other universities as well

Alumni club plans discussionsBy Howard Wood

Staff Reporter

Extensive discussions on the task-force p rio r ity reports w ill be the main objective of a three-day fa ll meeting beginning today as the members of the national board of d irectors of the University of Notre

Dame A lum ni Association meet on-campus.

The task-force, formed one year ago, is associated w ith the Com­m ittee of U niversity P riorities which studies the present and future of Notre Dame in an effort to de te rm in e im p o rta n t and essentia l e lem ents of the U niversity programs.

This task-force is a committee d iv id e d in to fo u r segm ents: c u rr ic u lu m , phys ica l p lan t, enrollm ent and research. This

group w ill o ffer recommendations in the ir reports to the A lum ni Association and the adm inistrators of the U niversity.

Dr. M ichael Jordan, Assistant D ire c to r of the A lu m n i A ssoc ia tion , em phasized the importance of these meetings.

“ Since there is a m inim um of alum ni association representation on the task-force groups, the reaction of the individual board members is very valuable for the fina l documents,” Jordan said. “ The board has had tim e to read and study the reports and this is their tim e to respond. There w ill be variations of opinions but this w i l l re s u lt in worthwhile suggestions for the un ivers ity .”

Additional topics on the agenda fo r the three-day meeting w ill include a report on co-education

and the current status of women in the facu lty and adm inistration by Sister John M iriam Jones, C.S.C., assistant to the provost, joined by redresses of women’s residence halls.

F r. James L. Shilts, C.S.C., d irector of off-campus housing, w ill discuss the measures taken to m in im ize the problems fo r off- campus students. John Goldrick, N o tre Dam e d ire c to r of ad ­missions, w ill explain the work of alum ni schools committees.

Special guests fo r the meeting include U niversity President F r. Theodore M. Hesburgh C.S.C., who w ill speak at the dinner for directors and the ir wives Thursday night in the M orris Inn. F r. James T. Burtchaell, C S C. w ill be the speaker fo r the noon luncheon on Friday.

TicketAbuses

Dear Sir:T h e i n e x c u s a b l e

m ismanagement of Notre Dame football tickets has long been the source of discussion among ardent su ppo rte rs of F ig h tin g Ir is h football. Recent developments show tha t the situation of insipid policies is no longer tolerable in an academ ic co m m u n ity such as o u rs ; ra d ic a l changes are necessary.

F irs t, i t should be noted that as long as the coaching sta ff con­tinues to produce high-calibre football temas and as long as the stad ium ’s capacity is retained at some 59,000, there w ill exist a serious d is e q u ilib r iu m in the supply of and the demand fo r tickets. Therein lies the problem. Severa l p o lic ies (a p p a re n tly designed to alleviate the situation) have been instigated: generaladm ission t ic k e t p rices w ere raised to the highest price among NCAA schools; student tickets w ere made n o n -tra n s fe rra b le ; and, fu ll admission price was demanded of anyone, regardless of age. As a result of such inspired p o licy : the poorer residents and friends of the Notre Dame com­m unity cannot afford to attend games (as i f there were tickets available fo r them in the firs t p lace); students, inform ed tha t i t is a “ p riv ilege” to attned N.D. gam es, cannot use ano the r student’s ticket to extend that priv ilege to a re la tive, friend, or fiancee; and lastly, there is the laughab le case of un­

com prehend ing in fa n ts being charged $8.00 to s it upon their mothers’ laps.

On October firs t , some 240 homecoming game packets went on sale. Once again, the ticket hand ling po licy was to ta lly irra tiona l. T ickets were to go on sale at 7:00 p.m. and a seemingly fa ir system of rules was devised so that at 1:00 p.m. when the an­ticipated crowd “ started” to form , everyone would have a fa ir chance a t the tou ted Southern Cal. tickets. Hundreds of determined students arrived as early as 8:00 a.m. however, and the ticket handlers, in terpreting this as a greater desire fo r the tickets than that of those students who waited until 1:00 pm to follow “ ru les” , perm itted the early-birds to sign and lis t and thus sold out not only the tickets but the student body as well. In this instance a lo tte ry system would have been much fa ire r to a ll those who desired tickets but, alas, this evidently obscure solution remains as hind­sight. _. ,

Sincerely,Tom Aanstoos ’76

Cover The Ruggers

E dito r:

I t seems odd to me that your Sports Departm ent has chosen to follow its policy of last year in ignoring one of the most successful sports on campus.

Last year the rugby team was Midwest Champs, winners of the consolation bracket in the national

college championships, and posted an overall 21-5 record. So fa r this year the team is 8-0-1 and yet no one knows about it, thanks to the Observer’s coverage.

I don’t cla im the journa lis tic experience of your sports staff but it seems the above facts seem more interesting than reports on various practices or reprinted articles from the South Bend Tribune. A sports department job is to cover a ll sports, not just the ones they deem im portant. Thanks for your support.

The Value of Adm ission

E ditor :

As the continuous farce about our “ C hristian” community grows more absurd day by day, I was not at a ll surprised to read about the poor couple denied entrance to last Saturday’s football game because they had their five month old child w ith them, who, alas, had not purchased a tic k e t in the prescribed Notre Dame fashion. I sympathize w ith them, but they should have known. One should expect the m oney-grubb ing authorities of this “ Christian” to be to ta lly devoid of any taste or s e n s ib ility when i t comes to making a buck.

However, I do find it most outrageous tha t these cheap people (who represent our “ C h r is t ia n ” a d m in is t r a t iv e leaders) have the gall to make a public defense of their action. I am, of course, referring to the ludicrous rationale put forth by one Done Bouffard, ticket manager, as reported in Thursday’s Observer. Come on, Don! You mean you rea lly can’t te ll the difference between a five month old child in her m other’s arms and an obvious gate crasher? I bet i f they were coming through the alumni gate you could. But then again, maybe you rea lly can’t te ll the difference. Such mental cretinism seems to be a required characteristic fo r most U niversity officia ls, particu la rly those engaged in the so lid ly “ C hristian” endeavor of making money.

Chess Reply

Dear E d ito r:I f the person

who wrote the d irty chess le tter had used the name of the persons he grieved against, then this reply would not be so m ild. I respect the judgment used by him , and therefore, w ill not publicly reveal the events as they exactly took place. Rather, I wish to emphasize that the situation was indeed unfortunate and that the tournament director, as well as, the chess club are not to be in any

way blamed. Any blame to be dished out can be directed towards

doonesbury garrytrudeau

me. Furtherm ore, I wish to c la rify just what was meant by “ chess clocks are preferred but those w ithout them w ill be perm itted to p lay.”

The use of a chess clock implies that i f a clock is to be used in the gam e e ith e r p la ye r m ay be penalized by losing tim e i f he is late. I f neither player has a clock, then there is nofa ir way to assess how much tim e each player uses to make his moves, thus he may be late and not be penalized - this is the grace period. Now one has no sure way of knowing whether his

opponent has a clock to penalize him fo r tardiness, so he shouldn’t risk being late. Also, i t should become obvious that i f one’s op­ponent is late and you wish to penalize him fo r it, you need only to procure a clock and start it. The grace period is thus a bonus but a risky one to depend upon. The to u rnam en t could have been lim ited to those w ith clocks, but the enjoyment of having people w ith a wide range in ab ility play would have been forfeited. In closing it is im portant to note that, w ith a lit tle thought, the person who was discrim inated against could have avoided his loss to an opponent who never a rrived at the tour­nament site. Also, i t is im portant to note that the grace period and the e jec tion o f p la ye rs fro m tournaments are rules subject to the interpretation of the tour­nament d irector. I feel that he acted, not in fa llib ly , but certa in ly adequately on both counts.

Respectfully,Steven F. Osborne

No Censors, Please

E dito r:

As the s in is te r specto r of N ixonianism casts its darkening shadow across the nation, i t ’s a ll the more dismaying to see the rhetoric being increasingly em­ployed by F r. B ill Toohey. A t a tim e when Am erican c iv il liberties are seriously endangered by the repressive policies of the Nixon Adm inistration, we must avoid any opening fo r censorhip, however slight.

F r . Toohey’s sca th ing a n ti­communist rem arks are hignly disturbing to a ll those who believe in academic freedom. Doesn’t he realize that his v itr io lic statements could very easily touch off an an ti­communist w itch hunt on this campus, like nothing N.D. has seen since the darkest days of the McCarthy E ra. We can’t believe that tha t’s what F r. Toohey really wants to bring to N.D. In fact, we know it isn’t. The last thing any of us wants is an emotion-charged, B irchite-type backlash at Notre Dame. A ll we ask is that F r. Toohey exercise care that he doesn’t give any more aid and com fort to the right-w ing. The campus has had more than enough of this in flam m atory rhetoric. Only in a more reasoned and libera l atmosphere can academic freedom ever be secure.

Black experience comes to NDby John McEachin

Staff Reporter

B ring ing the black experience to Notre Dame is the special concern of the B lack Studies Program and its d irector, D r. Joseph W. Scott.

The P rogram offers a Black Studies m ajor to any student in ­terested in applying his specialized sk ill to the problems of the black com m unity. This m ajor is unique a t Notre Dame because i t is a cognate m a jo r, one designed specifica lly to be joined w ith another fie ld.

In a recent le tte r to Dr. Scott, Dean Crosson of the College of Arts and Letters reaffirm ed the apecial status of B lack Studies. College rules prohib iting double majors do not apply to the B lack Studies Program and the Dean encourages students in sociology, economics, history and related fields to con­sider registering fo r the Program.

The Black Studies M ajor

“ People who w ill eventually work in urban areas or in a profession whose clientele w ill be substantia lly black, Puerto-Rican or of another m inority group should be especially interested in the P rogram ,” believes Professor Scott. He emphasizes that Black Studies goes beyond just the black experience to include a ll colonized m inorities-Indian, Mexican, and

Puerto-Rican Americans as well as Afro-Am ericans.

Any degree in the behavioral sciences or humanities coupled w ith the B lack Studies m ajor w ill make the graduate more saleable to p rospec tive em p loyers , ac­co rd in g to Scott. M ore im ­portantly, he feels that knowledge of the black experience is essential in our pluralized and urbanized society. The Program attempts to p ro v id e students w ith an awareness of the experiences, conditions, and origins of black people and their philosophical, religious and social values.

The courses offered by Black Studies are a p rim ary means of achieving these goals. They are a ll cross-listed w ith various depart­ments of the college and are available in such areas as English, gove rnm en t, h is to ry and sociology. Professors are highly tra in e d and m ust m eet the requirements of their respective departments. There is a high proportion of Ph.D .’s on the faculty and D r. Scott says no students need fear being taught by an unqualified professor.

The B lack Studies D irector feels that an im portan t asset of the program is the presence of many w h ite p ro fessors among the facu lty, thus giving an inter-racia l character to the staff. He em- phasies tha t courses are rigorously content-oriented and students are expected to read extensively and do a s ign ificant piece of w riting as well as pass examinations.

R obert M cC rady, a ju n io r government m ajor, believes that students, both black and white, should take advantage of the ex­pertise made available through

Black Studies For McCrady, being exposed to the black experience on an inte llectual basis has helped him appreciate the differences among people w ith in the m inority group. He also comments that the professors in the Program provide a lot of academic help and are a lw ays a va ila b le to discuss specific issues which m ight arise in a class outside the Black Studies Program .

A t Notre Dame, where the m a jo rity of people are Caucasian and Catholic, McCrady believes there are certain things that m ino rity students need which the U niversity itse lf cannot provide. The B lack S tudies P rogram becomes a focal point, he feels, for the activ ities of these students.

Another black student, R ichard Dickinson, fe lt alienated w ith in the U niversity, but found it a pleasure to fo rm a lly study black culture. “ I became aware of the situation of blacks and other m inorities,” he says, “ and black studies instilled in me some sense of pride.”

McCrady is quick to point out, however, that the black students do not feel sectarian about Black S tudies and welcom e w h ite students into the program. In fact, the m a jo rity of those enrolled in the program are white. Dr. Scott estimates that only about twnety percent are m inority students, thereby m aking students as well as the sta ff rac ia lly mixed.

The Black Studies m ajor is in ­te rd is c ip lin a ry , designed to com p lem en t the s tu d e n t’s departmental m ajor. A psychology m ajor, fo r example, would take six hours in black experience courses ta ugh t by the Psychology D e p a rtm e n t and eighteen ad ­ditional hours to be divided among three other disciplines of his choice. Through w ise use of elective hours, the double m ajor can be com ple ted in e igh t semesters.

D ick inson , who is a sen ior h istory m ajor, doubts whether he w il l f in is h the B lack Studies requirements because he found it too demanding and it used up too many of his elective hours. On the other hand, McCrady believes he could fin ish the m ajor w ith lit tle d ifficu lty , especially since it is a

fie ld of great interest to him . Through ca re fu l p lann ing , Professor Scott says, students can get two m ajors fo r the price of one and a fte r gruduation be able to a ttack the problems of Afro- Americas w ith a m ulti-d iscip linary approach.

Most m ajors sign up fo r the Program by their jun io r year. Scott points out it is im portant for students to register i f they are interested in Black Studies, so that their transcripts may be properly accredited. The Black Studies Office is located in Room 345 of O’Shaughnessy Hall.

EXTRA-CURRICULAR FUNC­TIONS

O ther im p o rta n t means of bringing the black experience to Notre Dame are also employed by the B lack Studies Program . This afternoon a weekly film series begins which w ill be conducted on s u c c e s s i v e W e d n e s d a y s throughout the semester of film s w ill be shown at 1:15 and 2:20 p.m. and everyone is welcome to attend. The series w ill include Tribute to Malcolm X, Harvest of Shame and The Bus an<4 w ill cover such topics as the Negro in B razil, the problem of triba lism in N igeria, and the Jim Crow system of segragation. These film s w ill also be available . for classroom use.

The Program strives to bring a d iversified group of speakers to the campus as well as im portant symposia on Afro-Am erican and A frican Studies. McCrady praised the lecture series and said it provides a forum of many different op in ions ra n g in g fro m N ik k i G iovani to Charles 3. Hamilton. The B lack Studies Office is always a le rt to the perform ing arts as a means of bringing the black ex­perience to Notre Dame. The A frican-Am erican Cultural Center in L a F o rtu n e is ye t another example of the P rogram ’s ser­vices.

THE FUTURE

Dr. Scott is optim istic about the future of B lack Studies. He points out tha t because of the P rogram ’s broad appeal, i t is not dependent on either the black student body or black facu lty. Since Black Studies was formed by gathering together courses which already existed in various departments, the Program could only fa il i f there were no

demand in all of those departments fo r courses dealing w ith the black experience.

He believes that demand is now increasing. Scott says, “ A t some la te r date, m y hope is that B lack Studies w ill be in such demand and

facu lty w ill be suffic ien tly large that there w ill be need fo r g iving the P ro g ra m dep a rtm e n ta l status.” For the moment demand does not w arran t m aking Black Studies a department, but Dr. Scott says he is in no hurry.

Corby's regulars get "Busched# #

by Paul Colgan Staff Reporter

Shooting a film in Corby’s for Busch Beer is like try ing to get water out of a w ell in w inter. You have to prim e the pump quite a b it before you get results. Thus a well- p rim e d crow d of Corby’s “ R E G U L a rs ” d id th e ir th ing before the cameras on F riday afternoon last week.

Technisonic F ilm Studios and Gardner Advertising of St. Louis Mo., were in South Bend shooting footage to be used fo r a p ro m o tio na l f i lm fo r Busch Bavarian Beer. They chose South Bend along w ith F lin t, M ichigan and Columbus Ohio as “ typ ica l” cities in the ir new three state m arket fo r Busch.

Busch was firs t introduced in March of this year and has already taken over the number three spot in preferred beer brands in this a rea . “ T h a t’s v e ry unusual coming in cold like th is .” M ike

Roarty, Busch Brand Manager fo r Anheuser-Busch, emphasized w ith no pun intended.

John Maggio, Regional Sales Manager, thought Corby’s was a “ super” place. “ This is just what we wanted.” he screamed over the noise. “ We rea lly appreciate the cooperation by the student body of Notre Dame.”

They were g iv ing away Busch all afternoon. By this tim e (1 p.m.) Corby’s was filled to capacity.

M ost of the pa trons were hamming it up and chugging beers for the camera. One, however, was disappointed that Corby’s had gone “ com m ercia l” .

Corby’s is m y home,” Sue ex­plained, “ I t ’s like having movie cameras in your liv ing room. ‘I t ’s aw fu l.” Suddenly Sue broke away, grabbed Big Lou and posed fo r the camera.

Another female patron who had been the subject of cameraman A1 Crane’s attention liked the idea of “ being discovered in Corby’s” But

then Annie explained, “ I ’l l stay in Corby’s. They will have to come and get me.”

M att Dee, the local d is tribu tor of Busch, wished Corby’s could have been more “ na tu ra l” but s till thought i t was a great cast party. He also pointed out how pleased he was over the young people’s ac­ceptance of Busch Beer. United Beverages, his company, now distributes the top three brand names in the area.

The camera crew under chief pho tog rapher, Roev Van de W ignjgaardx, enjoyed the shooting as much as the students enjoyed drinking for the cameras ac­cording to A1 Crane. “ I t ’s super” he exclaimed, echoing the only superlative the Busch people could say.

Owner Joe M ell was more than delighted w ith the turnout. “ Busch has become more popular than Stroh’s in no tim e at a ll.” he noted. Busch is preferred by nearly a two to one m argin bartender “ Boots” Lange tried to explain. Boots and his fellow bartenders were out­

fitted in exquisite black shirts w ith Corby’s emblazoned on the fron t . The bartenders were even doing a chorus line dance before the day was over.

The film crew le ft around 4 pm. Most of the people in Corby’s became aware of this when they were forced to pay fo r the ir drinks again.

While downing our th ird con­secutive shot of tequila, D uffy told this reporter that D ick Toland sent his regards. Dick is one of the few people w ith a reserved stool in

Corby’sJoe M ell has made no an­

nouncem ent about when the prem iere showing of the film w ill be. The film is a promotional film fo r d is tr ib u to rs and not the rumored national TV commercial.

The film is supposed to be released in January according to Gene M urray, head of the creative team for Gardner Advertising. Members of the cast, friends and relatives w ill have to w ait un til next year for a gala exclusive showing at Corby’s.

Frosh council convenesby A1 Rutherford

Staff Reporter

This yea r’s Freshman Student A d v iso ry C ounc il has a lre a d y convened according to Dean of the Freshman Year Office, E m il T. Hofman. The f irs t meeting was held on September 24 at the Fresh­man Learning Resource Center in Brownson H all.

The council is comprised of one ffe sh m a n re p re se n ta tive fro m each dorm and one from the off- campus sector. The represen­tatives were appointed by the president of the halls.

Form ed at the dean’s request, the council functions purely as an advisory body. Freshmen were advised of the open positions on the council by means of the Freshman News Letter. A le tte r was sent to each of the presidents to advise them of the ir duties.

One of the council’s m ajor functions is to evaluate various practices and policies of the Fresh­man Year Office. M ateria l which new students receive over the summer, such as the freshman orientation booklet is evaluated and improvements are suggested. This yea r’s p icnic and outdoor Mass during Freshman orientation were the results of last year’s council.

The co u n c il a lso p rovides feedback on various freshman problems. Their discussions range from d ifficu lties in academics to the morale of the freshmen. The mmbers also provide input for fu ture freshman activities.

Special projects, such as the upcoming reception fo r the parents during Parent’s Weekend, is in the planning stages fo r the council. The members i plan to meet w ith various facu lty and adm inistration

members. Last year, the council m et w ith the chairmen and faculty members of the math and modern language departments. Their d iscussions concerned recom ­mendations fo r freshman courses.

The music discussed w ill include some classic recordings by the F irs t Herd, as well as cuts from “ L igh t M y F ire ,” “ The Raven

Speaks” and W oody’s newest album, “ A Giant Step.”

Amazing Art“ I don’t th ink it was a flakey

gesture,” Best says. “ I did it to show that football should be taken

by John FineranThe reaction in the Purdue

pressbox was one o f to ta l amazement. I t certa in ly startled a great many of the w rite rs covering the Ir is h -.. Boilerm aker national telecast.

What was it that caused this reaction? Was i t Tom Clements’ n ifty running? Was i t the Ir is h defense stim ieing the Purdue of­fense? No, it was neither of these two.

The thing that had the pressbox in an uproar was A rt Best’s lit t le “ hello fo lks” gesture. You know, the hand-b low ing , hand-w aving thing. I t rea lly amazed a lot of people in Ross-Ade Stadium last Saturday, not to mention the m illio n s w a tch in g ove r the television. Flakey?

But then again, the gesture was just another amazing occurence in the Notre Dame career of the sophomore halfback. Fantastic things seem to occur everytim e Best gets the ball.

Seniors, remember when L a rry Parker went 63 yards for a touch­down against the Boilermakers in 1970? And on his firs t ca rry at Notre Dame no less!

Well, A rt Best went only 56 yards fo r his touchdown on his f irs t va rs ity ca rry last year versus P itt. Big deal, right? Wrong. Best was

one-yard better going to payd irt two games la ter against TCU. Amazing.

as a game and not as something like Death Row. I did it to ease a lit t le of the tension on m yself.”

Alex Agase, the Purdue head coach, is probably wishing that Best had remained tense. On the f irs t p lay from scrimmage, A rt went 64 yards to set up a Bob Thomas’ fie ld goal and early 3-0 Notre Dame lead. For the day, the 6-1, 200 lb. Gahanna, Ohio native picked up 125 yards on 16 carries.

Running w ith the ball is not the only amazing thing A rt Best does at halfback, although he does it well. So fa r this young season, Best has accumulated 160 yards on 28 carries, a 5.7 yard average, and has tw ice crossed the opponent’s goalline. Amazing.

“ There is a lot more to being a halfback than running w ith the ba ll,” Best continues. “ You’ve got to be technique conscious. You have to block and catch the ball, too.

“ As soon as I came to Notre Ddme, I realized that I had to improve in a ll aspects of the game. P layers are a lo t quicker here than they are in high school.

“ Although blocking was one of m y better assets in high school, I had to learn to use my legs, my back and m y arm s. I th ink my blocking has improved quite a bit.

Demmerle not a glamour boySplit end may be one of the

glam our positions on a football team, but Notre Dame’s Pete Dem m erle had to perfect the less glamourous aspects of the position to play fo r the Irish.

Demmerle, a jun io r from New Caanan, Conn., was the only sp lit end in his class. In high school, his coach, Bob Lynch, liked to put the ball in the a ir—sometimes 35 times a game, according to Pete. As for his quarterbacks, Demmerle had an all-stater throwing to him his three vars ity years.

But catching the ball, while a necessity when it comes his way, just isn’t what the position is a ll about.

“ The whole, overa ll concept of the position didn’t come across to me until last year,” Demmerle admits. How many plays is the sp lit end actually catching the ball? Against Northwestern, I caught three passes. That’s not even five per cent of the total number of plays (actually, i t was 4 per cent of the 75 Ir ish plays). So you see how lit t le that rea lly matters.

“ What is im portant are your assignments and your blocking on the rest of the plays. So when they throw you the ball just five per cent of the tim e, you better catch i t . ”

Demmerle got his chance to crack the starting lineup last spring when regular sp lit end W illie Townsend, who also played basketball for the Irish , needed some tim e off. “ W illie ’s absence gave Pete and Kevin (Doherty) s tro n g e r a tte n tio n and m ore w ork ,” explains receivers coach M ike Stock. “ Pete could always catch the ball, but he made up his m ind last spring that he was going to block. Since we use a single receiver system, a sp lit end has to utilize a ll his tools. We just can’t a fford to have a guy make a m istake in that position. Overall, Pete has given us the best total

“ I t s till isn t’ so much perfect tim ing as it is Tom having an idea of what I ’m th ink ing,” Pete ex­plains. “ He knows I ’m not going to go blazing by.”

Because he lacks speed and sees so lit t le of the ball, Demmerle has been one of the least known Irish players in one of the so-called glamour positions.

“ Pete is ra ther anonymous,” admits Stock. “ I t ’s almost like having a ghost on the team until the play is made. He doesn’t necessarily possess great speed, he’s never started, he’s quiet and he prefers to lead by example. But he has a great deal of confidence in him self—and I have confidence in h im .”

A lot of schools thought Dem­merle could play fo r them, but like so many student athletes who play fo r the Irish , the mystique of Notre Dame captured him early.

“ When you’re a lit t le kid, you don’ t know a n y th in g about schools,” he explains, “ but when you dad went to one of the two schools on television a ll the time, you get interested. My dad went to Notre Dame, and I got interested w ithout him pushing me. I m ight have gone to an Ivy League school i f Notre Dame hadn’t been in ­terested in me. But Notre Bmae is on the same academic level and I have the same capacity fo r either Notre Dame or the Ivy League. What matters is the amount of work I put in .”

But being a receiver who was used to catching the ball a lot, Notre Dame’s long trad ition of great quarterbacks was a factor in Pete’s choice. “ I followed Notre Dame football fo r a long tim e ,” he says, “ and I knew about Lamonica, Huarte, H anratty and Theismann. I d idn’t th ink they’d come up w ith anything less fo r m y three years.”

And the Irish didn’t—not at quarterback, or at sp lit end, either.

p ic tu re . The offense we run necessitates a complete balance throughout the whole team. The sp lit end has to block, catch the football and run fo r us to function properly.”

U ntil his sophomore season, however, Demmerle was in a receiver’s paradise.

“ I had more of an adjustment to m ake between freshm an and sophomore year than I did between high school and freshman year,” says Pete. “ We threw quite a b it in freshman football, although i t wasn’t quite as much as high school.

“ But sophomore year, I wasn’t the only sp lit end anymore. There were five of us, w ith m e being the

, slowest of the group. And a ll of a sudden, they wanted you to be technique conscious; on your blocking when I hadn’t done much blocking at a ll. I s till don’t think my technique is as good as it should be. I s till do a lot of scrap blocking, especially in the open fie ld .”

Pete Demmerle

# # # # # # # __Art Best, seen here en route to amassing 125 yards against Purdue, may seem flakey, but so far thisyear he's let his performance speak for itself.

“ I wasn’t catching the ball too well, either. I had to concentrate. Now, I am concentrating better and my catching is im proved.”

So fa r this season, Best has caught two passes fo r 28 yards and his b lock ing has a llow ed his ru n n in g m ates, E r ic P en ick , Wayne Bullock and Tom Clements, to p ick up extra yardage.

S till, i t is even more amazing that this runner, who is called flakey by many , has a realistic opinion about M ichigan State, N o tre D am e ’s opponent th is Saturday.

Flakey people would say, “ Well, we’re going to k ill them .” That’s flakiness in its absurdity.

Best believes o therw ise . “ M ichigan State is going to be a tough team. They’re as big as Purdue and they h it hard. They’re experienced on defense w ith a ll but two seniors there. I t ’s going to be a tough game.”

F lakey people would also make impossible goals fo r themselves. Not A rt Best. His is a d ifferent one.

“ The team goal is to go 10-0 this season and get a bowl b id ,” Best

concludes. “ Especially i f that bowl bid is against Nebraska.

“ I th ink everyone on the team wants another chance atNebraska after what they did to us in the Orange Bowl.

“ W e’re not look ing back, however. I t ’s here, i t ’s now. You have to prepare fo r everybody.”

F lakey people do not ta lk like that. That’s why i t ’s ridiculous to call A rt Best flakey.

And if A rt Best continues to perform amazing things, 1973 for Notre Dame w ill be better than 1972. In fact, 1973 just m ight be the “ Best.”

Irish harriers capture first five places, down Valpo

N otre D am e ’s c ross-coun try team beat V a lpa ra iso 15-44 yesterday afternoon as the firs t five places belonged to Irish harriers.
