BOARD GRAPPLES WITH PUBLICITY PROBLEMS
By Susan Kelly S ta ff Writer
Publicity problems in the Student Center were debated at Wednesday
night's meeting of the Student Center Policy Board.
Stan Morrow, a member of the Council on International and National
Affairs (CINA) and Roy Hirschfeld, C INA member and lecture
chairman of the College Life Union Board (CLUB) submitted a seven
point proposal to the board on methods of improving publicity
facilities in the Center.
The proposal included the following suggestions: • The placement of
cork strip
on the purpie walls of the cafeteria.
• Utilization of the public address system for public
announcements.
• The placement of a bulletin board behind the information
desk.
• Utilization of the front of the information desk.
• The placement of a marquee on one of the walls adjacent to the
information desk.
• Installation of a cork strip on the orange wall in the game
room.
• Installation of a ride board on one of the walls adjacent to the
information desk. M O R R O W ' S A N D
Hirschfeld's proposal followed an informal meeting of students on
Thurs., Nov. 30 in which complaints were given that the Student
Center does not provide enough publicity outlets for the student
organizations. The students called for places to hang posters and
more ways to announce upcoming campus events.
The first proposal considered by the board was the utilization of
the PA system for public announcem ents. M o rrow suggested that a
brief statement of the day's campus activities be announced twice a
day. The times that he suggested were noon and 1 pm.
Senior Mike Radtke pointed out that there is a difference between
the PA system and the radio that is played throughout the building.
The PA system is a separate device presently only used in times of
emergency such as a fire drill.
Announcements made over the PA system are heard in every room with
speakers as opposed to the radio system for which
each room has an individual volume control.
Former board member Terry Vacenda pointed out that since the
announcements would be heard in all of the Center's meeting rooms
and could not be turned off, meetings taking place at the time of
the announcements would be disrupted.
Senior D.iane Hudzig disagreed with this, however, saying that an
inconvenience of five minutes would not be. too much. She suggested
that the proposal be instituted on a trail basis.
Bob Reardon, newly elected executive secretary to the group and
representative from the dormitory council, stated that the Center
would sould like a b u s t e r m i n a l w i th announcements being
made over the PA system.
Reardon pointed out that the Center has a "code-a-phone" which
students can call to hear a listing of the day's activities.
Hudzig and Michael Quirk, CLUB chairman both stated that there is a
need to reach more people than the "code-a-phone" can serve.
Michael Loewenthal, Center director, called the proposal "a
feasible idea that can be implimented immediately." He continued to
say that James Harris, assistant dean of students, had asked for
use of the PA system to announce the

suggested that the Harris request would serve as a good trial for
the proposal.
Crane made a motion that the use of the PA system for
-datebook-
announcements be instituted for a period of two weeks at which time
the Center Policy Board will evaluate it. The motion was passed,
6-3.
The second proposal considered was the placement of cork strip on

th e ca fe te ria . M o rro w complained that there is currently no
place to hang "banner" posters like the ones that were displayed in
Life Hall last year. Morrow said that these banners were very
effective in advertising student activities.
Reardon said that the large number of people using the cafeteria
should be considered, adding that the posters would only add to the
congestion.
Several students present at the meeting were concerned as to the
impact that the posters would have on the aesthetic value of the
building. "Do we want to make this building look like Life Hall?"
questioned Barrett. Another student declared that the signs would
"make the cafeteria look terrible."
Hirschfeld stated that standards would be set for the posters as to
size and type to prevent a sloppy appearance.
However, when the proposal was finally voted on, it was
defeated.
Because discussion on the f irs t two points took approximately two
hours, the remaining five points were tabled until the next meeting
of the policy board.

Snow Mike Hatem S ta ff Writer
The addition of new equipment, the hiring of an outside contractor
for snow removal, the paving of the Bohn Hall parking area and the
placement of extra men who will be on 24-hour call should eliminate
the usual problems brought about by winter conditions, according to
Joseph McGinty, maintenance director.
Two new snow blowers, in addition to the two already available,
will be used to clear sidewalks on campus. Other new equipment
includes two salt spreaders and a bucket loader (a tractor with a
scoop-like plow), which will be used for both road and sidewalk
maintenance.
The parking areas will still be the biggest problem. "When you have
snow you're going to have problems. The snow has to be packed
somewhere and parking spaces are always lost," McGinty said.

Problems Melt several new parking areas to the quarry this year,
outside contractors have been employed to clear the quarry and, if
possible, the Bohn Hall area. To facilitate maintenance of this
lot, paving has been scheduled and is in "the final planning
stages," according to McGinty.
EXTRA MEN WILL be available around the clock to clear sidewalks and
roads for morning classes. "All I can guarantee is that both our
staff and the contractors will be here day or night and will work
as long as necessary to ready the campus for the next
morning."
A crew of about eight male students has been assigned by McGinty to
clear the stairs and entrances to dormitories and buildings, with
first preference given to the dormitories. The crew is under the
supervision of Bill Asdal, former SGA vice president. Any male
student interested in the work should see Asdal for details.
McGinty added that students should cooperate with the maintenance
department in keeping the lots free of cars during the night.

THR 'Disappointed’
Race Day Doesn’t Draw By Carla Capizzi and John Picinich S ta ff
Writers
Comparing American society to a "beautiful child with a cancer
spreading slowing to every part of its limbs," MSC President Thomas
H. Richardson officially kicked-off yesterday's "Focus on Race
Relations."
While waiting to speak, R ic h a r d s o n e x p re s s e d
"disappointment" over the poor turnout, speculating that the early
hour and cold weather may have h indered student attendance.
Several members of the administration were in the audience as were
SGA officers Sam Crane, Kathy Ragan and Dianna Terlizzi.
THE ROOM WAS still only sparsely filled when Richardson began
speaking at 9:15. He stated that prejudice was "not as simple as
good guys and bad guys." He explained that a "high degree of
competence" was necessary to even realize that "the thing
(prejudice) is here and with us."
If the United States is a “ w h ite racist society," Richardson
said, it is "impossible for a state college to not be tainted."
However, he asked his audience to discard the approach of radical
groups such as the Weathermen. Instead, he urged his listeners to
follow the example of leaders such as Martin Luther King.
R ichardson's 15-minute speech was punctuated by moments of
obviously deep emotion. A t times he seemed to grope for words and
on several occasions he stuttered slightly. D uring his com m ents,
Richardson leaned forward intently, grasping the sides of the
lectern and occasionally gesturing emphatically.
The next speaker was Gerald Le Boff, a member of the college Board
of Trustees. He expressed the Board's favor for the "type of
student interchange" that the day represented. He felt the day was
a preparation for students "to lead in a rapidly changing
society."
A MEMBER OF the Students for Reform and Action (SRA), Betty Ann
O'Keefe, pointed out that fighting racism was "to everyone's
advantage." Speaking to the white students in the audience, she
urged them to start by eliminating the "racism in each one of
us."
Travis Martin, soft-spoken
vice-president of the Black Students Co-operative Union, commented
that the day was a step towards combating racism.
However, he challenged his audience, "What will you do
tomorrow?"
Assistant Dean of Students James E. Harris stressed the lack o f in
f o r m a t io n an d understanding between the races at MSC. He
felt it was conceivable to have a Southern University-type of
confrontation here at MSC. "There is black rage among the black
people on this campus," and, he added, "hispanic rage" also.
Explaining that racism "exists on a perception level," he expressed
hope that the "open, honest discussion" would help identify racism
and lead to its solution.
DESCRIBING THE DAY as a "confrontation of ideas," he asked the
assembly to "let hearts burn today, not buildings tomorrow."
CINA Presents Bella Abzug, representative of New York's 19th
congressional
district, will speak in Memorial Auditorium on Mon., Dec. 11 at 8
pm. The newly elected congresswoman is one of two speakers being
sponsored next week by the Council on National and International
Affairs.
Kevin McCoorry, a representative from the Northern Ireland Civil
Rights Association, will speak to students at 1 pm on Tues., Dec.
12 in the Student Center fourth floor meeting room.
McCoorry has been with the 3000 member civil rights league for

Dorm Courses Succeed By D. G. Boudreau S ta ff W riter
"In dorm living, the intensity makes the difference." So stated
Joan Bakum, director of Chapin Hall. Bakum is responsible for the
initiation and direction of a new program which began fall semester
at MSC • accredited courses designed for dorm residents. Classes
meet in an atypical setting, a comfortable dormitory lounge where
shoes are not a requirement. One of the aims of the program is to
eliminate some of the "depersonalizing aspects" found in our
academic framework. Most of the courses have been assimilated so
that they relate to dormitory living.
Three courses were offered this semester. They are, "Psychology of
Development", " H u m a n G ro w th and Development" and
"Individual and Group Dynamics". All of the courses were over
enrolled this semester due to the large demand. Courses are
presently being held in Webster, Freeman, and Chapin Halls. Bakum
believes that all of the halls will be utilized by spring
semester.
"A dorm is a place where you
come just to sleep, we're trying to be more than that" said Bob
Giordano, director of Freeman Ha.. Giordano is responsible for
publicity on whatever activities housing is involved with. He and
other directors are forming discussion groups within the residence
halls. Through personal interaction in a relaxed atmosphere they
hope to foster the rising level of consciousness.
GIORDANO IS PRESENTLY working to get films through the audio-visual
department to show in the residence halls on Thursday evenings. He
believes that programs such as these in addition to the new dorm
classes will undoubtedly serve to better unify the halls.
Ten courses will be offered during spring semester. They will
include, "Racial and Ethnic Problems" "Introduction to P o l i t i
c a l S c i e n c e " , "Interpersonal Relationships" and "Women in
Contemporary Society" (men are equally encouraged to partake in the
latter). There will also be an audio visual course which will not
be given in a residence hall due to the difficulties involved
in transporting equipment in foul weather.
Bakum believes that the program has the potential to heighten the
dorm-living experience by making it an educational one also. She
hopes to see the program spread into other departments and schools
which are not yet directly affiliated with the program (i.e..
School of Math and Science). Her final aspiration is that
professors will become more informally involved with the students
in the residence halls - not merely going there to teach a
class.

POWs Supported By John Picinich S ta ff W riter
After three days, the Prisoner of War Awareness Drive sponsored by
Alpha Phi Omega is proving to be a success, according to Edd
O'Connor, organizer of the drive.
During the first two days of the drive, APO sold 150 bracelets at
their table set up in the Student Center lobby. On Tuesday,
O'Connor ordered 150 more bracelets from V IV A , the organization
sponsoring the drive. Stickers, buttons, pamphlets and "The Voice,"
a newspaper focusing on the POW situation, are neatly stacked on
the table.
"This is not an anti-war drive," said Kevin Streelman, an APO
member. "The purpose of the drive is to make people aware of the
POW situation and get them interested so that they can act," he
continued. "All those interested are encouraged to write Hanoi,
asking them to live up to the Geneva Convention. We don't want the
POW's and MIA's forgotten."
APO has sent 1000 flyers out to publicize the drive, and 20 posters
have been made up. To O'Connor's knowledge, Montclair State is the
only college in the area having a drive of this nature.

JSU’s fMore ActiveLess Formai’ By Carol Giordano S ta ff W
riter
This week's Channukah celebrations are only a small part of the
activities and interests of MSC's Jewish Student Union. The JSU,
originally known as the Star of David, has become "m ore active and
less formalized" according to Beatrice Baranek, senior home
economics major and JSU member.
"We found out that there were a lot more Jewish students at MSC who
were interested in the organization," she explained. The group's
name was changed and more social and cultural
events were scheduled. The JSU works in conjunction with the Jewish
Student Services at Rutgers/Newark co-sponsoring many
activities.
Two students, Diane Franklin, MSC sophomore, and Stanley Sidlov,
Rutgers junior, will travel to Israel on Dec. 17 as part of a
student leadership mission of the United Jewish Appeal. Sidlov
explained that they will meet high-level government officials and
students, both Arab and Israeli and see how UJA money will be
spent. Ways of dealing with anti-Semitism on college campuses will
also be examined.
Sidlov stated that the JSU is
sponsoring a theater party to attend the Feb. 17 performance of
"Two Gentlemen of Verona" on Broadway. Approximately 40 tickets
will be sold at MSC. A free raffle was held Wednesday evening in
Life Flail with two tickets as the prize. The organization will
also sponsor an Israeli coffee house in January.
Funds for JSU activities are provided by the Essex County Jewish
Community Council, Franklin said. The JSU is not funded by MSC's
Student Government Association. It recently moved into the Life
Hall office previously occupied by the Black Student
Co-operative Union, Sidlov stated.
Jewish student organizations have brought about several major
changes and innovations, the Rutgers student explained. College
student fees at the YMHA in West Orange have been lowered from $70
to $25, and a free Jewish university was started two years ago at
Rutgers/Newark in which professors teach special courses in their
spare time. Several JSU members expressed the view that Hebrew
courses may soon be offered at MSC.
The JSU sponsors religious activities at appropriate times during
the year, including Passover and Channukah. Last weekend MSC's JSU
and the Rutgers organization held a joint Channukah celebration at
the YMHA. Traditional foods, games
and prizes were part of the evening. On Monday afternoon another
celebration was held in Life Hall. An evening of Israeli dancing on
Wednesday also observed the religious holiday.
As part of the Channukah observance, JSU members distributed
dreidels to MSC students. Hebrew letters on these four-sided tops
represent the words, "A great miracle happened there," in reference
to the meaning of the holiday, the miracle of a one-day supply of
oil lasting for eight days at the temple. The dreidel ended as a
game of chance when the study of the Torah was forbidden by King
Antiochus.
"When we were giving the dreidels out, a lot of people didn't know
what they were. When they found out, they were interested,"
Franklin smiled.

Center Or Ad Rag?
Publicity problems are a major concern of all student
organizations. Wednesday night’s meeting of the Student Center
Policy Board attempted to deal with student requests to increase
the publicity facilities of the Center.
There is a danger, however, in allowing the organizations unlimited
use of the Center for publicity purposes. The concept behind this
building is one of sophistication and, inspite of its problems, it
is a beautiful building.
Haphazard placement of posters and signs along with the public
address system announcing the day’s activities will seriously
damage the aesthetic value of the Center. However much of these
practices will benefit the organizations, they will turn this
building into a cross between last year’s Life Hall and Grand
Central Station.
The student organizations should fully utilize the existing outlets
for publicity. The Center’s information desk and its “code-a-phone”
should be utilized as a means in which interested students can
receive a listing of the day’s activities.
A Student Center should be a place in which the students can rest
without being subjected to a constant barrage of publicity.
The Real Losers
The greatest losers of the Vietnam War are not the South
Vietnamese, the Communists or even the American people. They are
the 545 American POWs who are currently rotting in North Vietnamese
prison camps.
These men are pawns being mercilessly used by all parties to the
conflict. The Communists parade them before foreign newsmen to
demonstrate how “humanely” they are treated.
Certain American peace groups have acted as “arbiters” to secure
the release of several prisoners. Then with this accomplished these
groups use the men to publicize their own propaganda on the war.
This could be expected from the enemy but not from people who
purport to be only interested in “peace.”
Our own government has not done everything possible to get the
prisoners home. If, as President Richard M. Nixon believes, the
prisoners of war are uppermost on his list of priorities why has it
taken over four years to come close to a negotiated settlement?
Unfortunately it appears “peace with honor” and the President’s
place in history are more important than the lives of these
men.
It was only fitting that the awareness day for the POW’s would be
held on Dec. 7-a day most Americans still remember as a date of
shame. Perhaps our treatment of the POW issue is cause for shame
too. It appears the only people truly concerned are the families of
these men.

Get Rid Of Dead Wood’ Just as the only way to get a
stubborn mule to move is to light a fire under his bottom, the only
way to get a tenured professor to tighten up flabby lectures is to
take away his tenure. Not all tenured faculty are settled in old
methods and lectures, but enough succumb to the dangers of security
to justify abolishing a worn-out tradition.
Writing in the Spring ’72 issue of Educational Record, Robert K.
Carr presents strong arguments against tenure, but goes only so far
as to suggest its modification.
The most common complaint against tenure, he states, is that it is
a haven, protecting incompetent professors from the competition of
the teaching market. Quite simply, it piles up dead wood. (Faculty
with tenure can get away with a minimum of research and an absence
of creative approaches by virtue of having grown old with the
college.) TIGHT MARKET
As a result, the job market tightens in academia. Young PhDs glut
the market and push into spots opened by dead wood rotting into
retirement. Those with novel approaches to teaching may face hiring
boards set in conservative ways.
The only point Carr makes for tenure is academic freedom. The
freedom to fight for academic reform or to hold unpopular views is
essential to good education. It must be protected from arbitrary
firing. But does tenure really guarantee academic freedom? As Carr
notes, some argue that “ they (the tenured professors) use their
tenured posts to deny academic freedom to students, untenured
junior colleagues or young, job-seeking PhDs who do not share their
social and political prejudices.” OPTIONS
Carr offers three remedies. He calls for adoption of a radio of
tenu red to non-tenured professors like the 60-40 ratio decreed by
Ralph A. Dungan, chancellor of higher education. Carr concedes that
there is a
monetary saving in this. In fact, ratios often disguise economic
considerations without regard to a c a d e m i c consequences.
Qualified untenured faculty may be fired because the budget can’t
tolerate an increase in salaries. In addition, this approach does
not eliminate professors in the prime of stagnation and it permits
them wider latitude in firing ambitious and innovative
instructors.
His second option is removal of incompetent tenured faculty. He
states cases must involve only the grossly incompetent or faculty
will rebel. Ousted faculty may also have recourse to unions and
courts. At best this is a doubtful, incremental process.
The third suggestion is to lower the retirement age. If faculty
could retire sooner it would open up new jobs, Carr contends. It
sounds like a bribe. Optional retirement may have its strong
points, but to reward incompetence with pensions is not a tolerable
solution.

Week after week the MONTCLARION is full of stories on the problems
of being a college student. Hey, another committee and look at
this, more recommendations, let’s all get together and hold hands
and talk about how successful we’ve been in doing so. Or maybe we
can complain about food.
Blame is always put upon the student for being apathetic, but in a
college environment where the educational services can barely
muster up enough excitement to put one to sleep, who’s to blame?
EMPTY
When the hell is the faculty going to start something? Which
states but does not endorse, seems a better solution. Ha mp s h i r

on a contract basis. They work an initial three-year term and then
are subsequently reconsidered for terms of five to seven years.
LETHARGY
Academic freedom is protected by contract for a period, but a
further step is necessary to protect academic freedom. Student
committees in each department should have a hearing to determine
whether an instructor who has been given his walking papers has
been denied contract for reasons o t h e r t h a n academic
competence.
If they find for the instructor, the case should be brought before
a grievance board composed of faculty and students. In this manner
academic freedom would be protected without incurring the long term
lethargy tenure may induce.

Committees bullshit! The whole educational system is being sent
down the drain by the very people who represent it.
What does a college degree mean anymore? There’s a lot more to be
done in the world than falling asleep for four years and then being
informed that you are now an educated person.

Nows Inquiry —III MONTCLARION/Fri., December 8, 1972 7.
Midlesesex Cops Divided On Gun Issue By Rosemary Morra and
Bill Gibson Staff Writers
Beneath the seemingly tranquil surface of Middlesex County College
rages a lively debate over the arming of the Campus Patrol.
The controversy is centered around two parties -- the 1 5 man
police force who want to be armed with a .38 caliber revolver at
all times and MCC’s administration which believes that present
conditions do not warrant such action. Presently officers are armed
only between the hours of 4 pm and 7 am. REASONS
The officers are asking for the guns for several reasons. “ All
we’re asking for is a chance to even the odds against crime,” said
one officer, in summary of the situation.
MCC opened in 1966 and until two years ago depended on the county’s
park police and its own security force for protection. When the
security force became an authorized police force in 1970, the
college décidée' to permit the carrying
of firearms on night duty. “ Since we have only
commuters and the college open to the community, protection is
needed for both students and of f i cers , ” explained Joe
Roccasanto, chief of the MCC police.
“ It seems to me that the administration is saying that the
students do not deserve the protection that their tuition entitles
them. The public is entitled to as much protection on campus as
off,” stressed Manfred Meiners, president of Local 371,
International Brotherhood of Police Officers.
According to MCC Sgt. Stonerock, “The chances of apprehending a
criminal on campus are about 100 to 1 against the unarmed officer
in the daytime. If a crime is reported, the officer first replies
to an alarm unarmed.”
“ Then, if he decides that a weapon is needed, he must return to
headquarters, sign the weapon out, load it, secure it on his belt
and then return to the site of the crime,” explained
Stonerock.
“ However, upon his return, he usually learns that the criminal has
already escaped to the next town, South Amboy,” said Stonerock.
Last year there were 29 incidents of breaking and entering, 77
larcenies and three reported cases of armed robbery on the MCC
campus.
“Statistics show that most police get shot when they stop and
question people for minor infractions. When stopped, the criminal
immediately assumes that the officer knows of the major crime he
has committed. However, this is hardly ever true,” explained MCC
Sgt. Seagal. CONFRONTATION
With the arms, most officers believe that the element of surprise,
which the criminal has, is lessened and thus the chances of a
violent confrontation are also lessened.
Students have reacted to the issue in a subdued, if not apathetic
manner. However subdued, the reactions covered the extremes of
support and condemnation.
“ In order for an officer to
. . AND THAT IS WHY W I CALL IT A CABINET.'
Spectrum
adequately fulfill his security duties, a gun is needed. The cop is
a prime target and needs every bit of protection he can get. Let’s
face it -- a uniform alone won’t stop bullets,” explained one
student.
One of his companions countered with, “Guns are provocative. If the
police have them they might be inclined to use them when they
aren’t absolutely necessary.” CRITICAL TIME
Even the police force itself is
divided on the issued. While some officers view the arming as
necessary and essential, others think that the administration would
be yielding to the needs of a few officers rather than the needs of
the campus.
According to Jules Ciotta, an administration official, the evening
is a more critical time for the force. He explained, “Weapons are
unnecessary on the quiet campuses during the day. Middlesex is one
of those campuses.”

Reader Feedback To the Editor:
As an interested student and reader of the MONTCLARION for several
years it is my belief that the paper has undergone gross
deterioration in the objectivity of content. It has been apparent
to me that articles have been slanted towards the administration,
and when an article criticizes the administration it is apologized
for in the next issue.
It is my opinion that the paper has the right, the obligation to
illuminate all issues concerning student welfare and even to take
certain of these issues to cause. This should be the case
regardless of the subjects involved, may they be student apathy,
high food prices or another administrative blunder.
I find it shameful that the editor-in-chief would renege her
responsibilities to the students and to lower herself and the
publication to please the administration. It has become apparent to
me, after some research, that reporters’ hands have been tied and
their freedom of expression has been infringed upon.
The editorial apology in Tuesday’s paper is just one example of her
misguided loyalty and her sell-out of the student interest.

Racism Aggravated By ‘Awareness9 By Bill Gibson Staff Writer
Despite the high hopes held for the “ Focus on Race Relations” day,
it appears that the major effect of the day has been to bring
racism out into the open, further polarizing an already polarized
campus.
Attendance at most of the programs was poor, well below previous
expectations. Those that did attend appeared to be the typical
involved student. The programs seemed to have stimulated very
little interest among the bulk of the student
body where the root of the problem lies. DOOMED
However the general student body cannot be blamed fully for the
failure of the program. It was doomed to failure from the moment of
its inception. The planning and coordinating committees failed to
take into account the biases inherent not only in themselves but in
the thrust of the programs.
Most of the programs seemed to be aimed at pointing the injustices
suffered by the minority groups at the hands of the majority. 1
sincerely doubt
that most students would be willing to go to a session where they
are personally accused of creating and perpetuating an intolerable
situation for their fellow man. The attendance figures seem to bear
me out. OBVIOUS
Even in those programs where there were sizable turnouts, relat
ively speaking, the polarization and bias, both black and white,
were painfully obvious. During the morning movie, blacks and whites
congregated on opposite sides of the room, ignoring each other in
an atmosperc of dislike and
mistrust. When the time came for discussion the bulk of it was
within the closely knit groups rather than between the groups where
some benefit could have been derived.
Even the program members themselves showed the biases which doomed
the program. One black student was found handing out schedules with
the comment, “These are for you people who are dead from the neck
up.” It was this kind of two-faced hypocrisy that breeds the
present contempt. PEARL HARBOR
When many of the
commuters heard that they would not be penalized for cutting class,
they took it as an open invitation for a one day vacation. Things
like this have not worked in the past because of the “apathy.” You
would think that people would learn by now.
One day of talk is not going to solve MSC’s problems. If anything,
it will just increase the friction already present on campus.
Perhaps it is prophetic that the “ Focus on Race Relations” occured
on the same day as Pearl Harbor.

rAre Women Human?’ -N o t For Chauvinists
By Kay Finlaw S ta ff Reviewer
The first thing that is likely to attract the reader to Dorothy L.
Sayers' "Are Women Human?" is the cover. It includes a fold-up bed
on which a doll-like nude female reclines with male figures perched
on each of the bed posts.
With an introduction by Mary Shideler, "Are Women Human?" consists
of two essays in which Sayers discusses the position of women as
human beings in our society. A noted British writer, scholar and
lecturer, she claimed no connection with the faminist movement, as
the title of the book might indicate.
By Tom Malcolm S ta ff Reviewer
"Wedding Band," written by Alice Childress and directed by her with
the able assistance of Joe Papp deals with the re lationship of a
pair of interracial lovers in South Carolina, 1918. Julia, played
by Ruby Dee, is a black seamstress who moves from neighborhood to
neighborhood seeking one which will accept her love affair with
Herman, a white baker, played by James Broderick.
This play is both a solid, deeply personal examination of a
strained love affair and a subtle probing into the workings of a
very racist society--a society w hich , as Childress makes
frightfully clear, has changed very little since then.
It is precisely this aspect of the play which is so fascinating,
the playwright’s uncanny ability to parallel the racial conflict of
1918 with the racial conflict of 1972. The situation is not
confined to time or place. Indeed, it could, and does, happen
anywhere at any time. The theme of racial intolerance has been
hashed over many, many times, but seldom has it been given the
exquisite artistic treatment which is the very essence of
Childrees' very fine work.
Perhaps the finest aspect of the play is evidenced in the
characterizations of the minor figures; Juanita Clark as Mattie, a
tender, emotional and comic wife and mother; Polly Holliday as
Herman's uptight sister who is very much in love with a lowly
soldier but is forbidden to marry him; and Nelson Green as the
virile and angry young black man who is constantly warned
about his arrogant behavior. These gifted actors make the most o f
Childress' superb dialogue and present the audience with drama of
the very finest quality.
Regretably, the three most vital actors-Dee, Broderick and Jean
David as Herman's mother.

Before Sayers asks "Are all women created to do the same work?" she
asks, "Are all human beings created to do the same work?". She
stimulates the reader's thoughts about women by questioning the
role of any human being in our society.
The author backs her arguments with appropriate examples and poses
some interesting questions for the
reader. The point of the book can be summarized in one quote:
"...women are more like men than anything else in the world. The
are human beings. "V ir" is male and "Femina" is female: but "home"
is male and female. This is the equality claimed and the fact that
is persistently evaded and denied...Man is always dealt with as
both "Home" and "V ir," but Woman only as "Femina"."

The two stand opposite each other on the narrow rubber strip,
swords at the ready. Their faces covered by wire mesh masks, they
poke and probe at each other's defenses. Suddenly, one sees an
opening and springs to the attack, slashing and stabbing with the
silvery blade to his enemy's parries and counterplay. The furious
swordplay quickens, first one white-clothed figure then the other,
leaping and plunging in sudden attach.
Abruptly, a light flashes and the action stops, one man having
penetrated successfully to "touch" his opponent. The two combatants
separate and the action commences again.
THE THREEMUSKATEERS in action? No, just a typical fencing bout at
Montclair State. The men are coached by Rocky Di Cicco and the
women by Domenica Desiderioscioli.
The men's team consists of nine members, three each for foil, epee
and sabre.
"It's fast and exciting, but complicated," said the men's captain
Frank Mustilli, “and it is possible to get hurt."
M U STILLI PREDICTED A team "better than last year's but nothing
stupendous." Extra spirit is what the squad is going to need to win
expecially against tough William Paterson and Seaton Hall.

outstanding teammates in co-captain Carl Davis (sabre), Roger
Marchegiano (foil), and Alex Collatrella (epee). Last uear ("a bad
year for us") the team ranked 16th nationally, with Mustilli
himself taking 15th in the NCAA tournament.
The Indians will try and better that record when their season opens
tomorrow at Brooklyn College. Following next Friday's match at
Brooklyn Polytechnical Institute, the men will begin their home
season with a 1 pm contest against Pace College on Sat., Jan.
6.
THE WOMEN EXPECT to win "90% of our matches." The women started off
on the right foot when they defeated Caldwell College, 12-4. Their
next match is against CCNY, Wed., Dec. 13.
The women field a varsity and JV team of four girls each. They
fence only foil with touches recorded electrically.
The small number allowed to compete is a problem, according to
Desi, a small sharp-featured, energetic woman.
"We started with a squad of 25; now we're carrying nine," she said,
"but our varsity is all experienced fencers."
AMONG HER BEST is captain Nancy Murray, a transfer from Trenton
State. Julie Loveridge, Mary Caprio, and Mary Lou Cafferra make up
the rest of the varsity squad.
The women fence under the N a t io n a l In te rco lleg ia te
Women's Fencing Association (NIWFA), while the men's bouts are
NCAA-sanctioned. Men’s meets consist of 27 bouts of five touches
each, with 14-bout victories needed to win a match. The women
contest for nine of the 16 bouts in an NIWFA meet with four touches
per bout.
"It's a great sport," said Desi, "but you must know the intricacies
to really appreciate it."
Squaws Scrimmage But 'Need Work’
"We need a lot of work," commented coach Gail Bakker, after her
women's gymnastics team had finished its scrimmage against the
Bloomfield Gymnastics Club. The meet was held in gym 3 at 4 pm last
Thursday before a crowd of about 50 fans.
The meet had neither a winner nor a loser; it was designed to let
the girls get some experience performing in a competitive
situation.
" It was a good experience for the freshmen and other new members,"
commented Bakker. Nevertheless, no one performed really well.
EILEEN WANS was the top
scorer on both the uneven parallel bars and vaulting, with a 5.75
and a 8.07 respectively. The best balance beam routine was turned
in by Maria Zullo, with a 5.72 final. Other high scorers were Pat
Sarluca, with a 7.9 in vaulting, and Denise Cram on the uneven
parallel bars, scoring a 5.22.
"Our score would have been better if Jan King wasn't injured," said
Bakker.
THE TEAM opens their season at home, Jan. 31 at 7 pm against Stoney
Brook College. They have a lot of work ahead to regain their form
of last year when scores in the high sevens and eights were
common.

Pioneers Axe Dux, Ambush Indians, 72-67 By Joe Castronovo Sports
Writer WAVNE--A head injury to Montclair State center Tom Dux with
10:02 left in the second half spelled doom to his teammates as they
went on to lose, 72-67, to the Pioneers of W illiam Paterson
College Tuesday night.
With the score, 52-50, in MSC's favo r. Dux, a 6-foot-4-inch
senior, collided with the Pioneers' 6-foot-5-inch, 230-pound
forward Gary Hipp while going up for a rebound. Hipp was back on
his feet moments afterward, but Dux remained horizontal with blood
streaming from his forehead. The wound required 16 stitches.
UPON DUX'S departure, 6-foot-5-inch sophomore Larry Hughes entered
the game and assumed the enormous responsibility of counter
balancing awesome Leroy Lewis, William Paterson's 6-foot-7-inch
center, under the boards.
However, all Hughes did was further prove the point that height is
no substitute for experience as Lewis went on to score 10 of his
game-high 21 points in the time remaining.
Dux's presence under the boards had been felt by the Pioneers, as
he left the court with eight rebounds, only three
behind Lewis, who finished the game with 11.
ALM OST BEFORE Dux could hobble off the court, the Pioneers
snatched the lead, via two quick baskets by Lewis and Al Cousins,
making the score, 54-52.
Their lead was never relinquished as Lewis and Hipp dominated both
ends of the court, pulling off rebounds and converting easy baskets
from underneath, combining for 16 of the 20 points scored by
William Paterson from then on.
The Indians started the contest as though they were planning to run
their opponents off the court, taking a quick, 6-0, lead during the
first two minutes of play by way of two long, corner jumpers from
Chuck Holland and a layup by Calvin Blue.
W ILL IA M PATERSON rose to the occasion and before long, had the
game tied, 8-8. From that point on, the lead changed hands twice in
the first half and the biggest margin between the two teams stood
at three points when, with the score, 28-25, in MSC’s favor, and
3:30 left in the half, the Pioneers took charge. In a display that
lasted the rem ain ing 3:25, William Paterson put together a
10-point scoring spurt with Lewis and Larry Beaman accounting
for
eight of the points and Cousins the other two.
The show ended with the first half buzzer, leaving the MSC
hoopsters bewildered and trailing, 35-28.
Not to be outdone, the Indians rampaged to a 10-point streak of
their own with 14:54 left in the second half and the score, 43-40,
in favor of the Pioneers.
H O LLA N D AND Dux combined for eight of the 10, scoring five and
three points respectively. Rick Brown had the other two.
That put MSC back on top, 50-43, but the lead was shortlived as
William Paterson fought their way back and took the lead for good
after Dux went out a minute and 36 seconds afterwards.
The defeat left MSC even at 1-1 and ready and waiting to take on
Newark College of Engineering tomorrow night at 8:15 pm in Panzer
Gym.

It Don’t Come Easy
Grapplers Face Crucial Weekend Meets Montclair State's
wrestling
schedule includes some pretty tough matches and they won't come any
harder than this weekend.
Tonight the Indians face defending New Jersey State College
Athletic Conference champs, Trenton State, 7:30 pm at
Trenton.
"IT 'S GOING to be a tough match," wrestling coach Larry
Sciacchetano stated. "They're one of the tougher ones. They walked
away with the conference last year."
Waiting in the wings is West Point, Ivy League champion Princeton
and Indiana State. MSC squares off against them tomorrow afternoon
at West Point.
While Sciacchetano has beefed up his squad to the point of
upsetting East
Stroudsburg and tying Buffalo, the Indian mentor is the first to
acknowledge that his grapplers have a long way to go
team-wise.
"ONE OF our weaknesses is no great depth," he said. Matters won't
improve too much for Sciacchetano this weekend with the absences
of
M ilt Rehain and Hubie Voltalimo due to injuries. Co-captain Larry
Hayspell is another question mark due to an arm injury
suffered
Monday in practice. Harvey
Brown, another starter, will
tomorrow because of exams.
