CSSA To Stage Sit-in At Brown's Office To Protest Budget Cuts

The PawPrint, JanJjary 30,

Acting on a motion made by AS President Sydneye Moser-James the Cal State Student Association (CSSA) voted last week to stage a sit-in at the Gover­nor's office to protest budget cuts in the CSUC.

The action, taken on Jan­uary 22 during the regular monthly meeting held at Cal Poly Pomona, calls for a sit-in of the Governor's of­fice unless the Governor agrees to meet with stu­dent leaders In a timely fashion.

The sit-in has been scheduled for 10 a.m. on February 16, the first day of a three-day statewide stu­dent government confer­ence and CSSA meeting to be held at Sacramento State.

The motion was in re­sponse to increasing pres­sure from Governor Brown for cuts in the CSUC budget.

"The association has been requesting a con­ference with the Governor for months," said Moser-James. "We will continue to request a formal meet­ing, but If he doesn't agree we're going anyway."

"We are very concerned with the fiscal state of the system," stated Moser-James. "Too many cam­puses already have over­crowded classrooms. The maintenance of a quality academic program is ex­pensive, and department budgets are already strain­ed to the breaking point."

"I believe the time has come for us to explore non-traditional avenues of get­ting our message to the people," explained Craig Jones, legislative advocate for the CSSA. Jones will be organizing a press confer­ence in conjunction with the sit-in.

Several people from San Bernardino are planning to attend the February meet­ing. "I hope we can get a good turn-out from San Bernardino," stated Tim Hamre, A.S. executive assistant, who is organiz­ing the San Bernardino group. "The small cam­puses of this system must make a showing and stick up for their rights."

The CSSA reaffirmed Its determination at the Jan­uary 22 meeting to preserve student accese to. higher education in the face of budget cuts by Adopting 1979-

that as its number one priority for the coming year.

Other areas targeted by the CSSA included increas­ed student involvement in the review of student ser­vice fees, preserve and in­crease the quality of aoe-demies, opening the CSUC to non-traditional students, more formal student input into campus affairs, and support of AB 224, which will ban discrimination against students In hous­ing.

There was also a report on the Governor's propos­ed budget for next year. Of particular interest were several Program Change Proposals (PCP's). which were pushed for by the CSSA, and were part of the Trustees budget request. (A PCP is a request for a change in the current pro­gram structure — usually an additional program.)

The PCP's which the CSSA had particular inter­est included $412,932 to pay the salaries of the

Ghiid Center Directors on ail 19 campuses, $1,406,-416 in increased funds for disabled students and employees, and $1,291,969 for a student affirmative ac­tion program.

in the Governor's propos­ed budget the first two were completely eiiminat-' ed and the third was reduc­ed to $158,296. The CSSA will attempt to put the lost programs back into the budget through legislative action.

UPC's Kessler Charges Brown With Exploition In "Bold-faced Bid For The Presidency"

Sacramento — The United Professors of Cali­fornia Is calling upon all members of the CSUC com­munity to unite in opposi­tion to massive budget cut­backs proposed by Gover­nor Brown. Dr. Warren Kessler, President of the 4,000 member academic union, charged "Governor Brown's continued cutting of the CSUC budget Is part of a cynical maneuver to exploit public employees, students, the poor and other recipients of public services in a bold-faced bid for the Presidency."

Kessler warned that Brown's budget cuts, if sustained by the Legislat­ure or enforced by veto power, will mean the elim­ination of more than 3,000 courses, 1,200 positions and will mean job tosses for an estimated 1,300 part-time, temporary and proba­tionary faculty, academic and student service per­sonnel. Layoffs are being considered at Fullerton, San Jose and several other campuses.

"Although the Governor claims a 3.2% increase in the CSUC budget, a 9% in­flation rate means this will be a 5.8% cut," Kessler said. "Class offerings will be reduced, but nothing Is being done to reduce high student/teacher ratios or limit faculty course loads, which are among the high­est In the nation."

The union leader charg­ed Brown's cuts will hit hard against women, eth­nic minorities and the.

disabled. The Governor re­jected program change pro­posals to provide child care center directors for the 19 CSUC campuses and to meet legal requirements' for aiding disabled stu­dents and employees. Brown also slashed a Stu­dent Affirmative Action proposal from $1.3 million to $158,296. "The refusal to fund legally required aid to the disabled is the cruelest and most cynical of all," Kessler said. "It goes well with the Governor's refusal to fund legally mandated

cost of living adjustments for the aged, blind and dis­abled — who happen to comprise 75% of the peo­ple on so-called welfare."

The United Professors of California represents 4,000 CSUC faulty, librarians, counselors, student ser­vice personnel and related professionals. UPC is the largest single faculty union in the 19-campus system. It is affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers and the Californ­ia Labor Federation (AFL-CIO).

Israeli Rep Speaks On Peace Treaty by Dorothy Glover

When you truly want to solve a humanitarian Issue you can solve it easily. When you want to use It for political purposes you achieve anything but the solution. So said Amir Tad-mor, Information officer for the Israeli Consul Generals office, who was the guest speaker at the Interna­tional Club meeting last week.

Tadmor began by ac-^ knowledging the immense

complexity of the Middle East situation, summariz­ing the recent peacemak­ing process between Israel and Egypt.

According to Tadmor, the original draft treaty, which Israei was prepared to sign in late Novembec despite reservations, con­tained a number of major concessions to Egypt in­cluding: a) the reilnqulsh-ment to Egypt of the vast area of the Sinai Peninsula, repeatedly used by Egypt as a base for attacks against Israel, b) Abandon­ment of three strategic air­fields in Eastern Sinai and of the naval base at Sharm ei-Sheikh. c) Dismantling of Jewish villages that had been established, as a security measure, along the eastern edge of Sinai, d) Relinquishment of the Sinai oilfields, which had been developed by Israel and supplied Israel with twenty percent of Its oil consumption.

The Israelis were pur-suaded by the American mediators not to reopen the Treaty, In view of the delays such action would cause in the peacemaking process.

"Having made this im­portant concession, Israel was entitled to assume that the United States

T: would, in turn. Impress upon Egypt the importance of accepting the Draft Trea­ty as it stood, without de­manding further changes. Cairo, however, delayed its response, insisting upon

major changes In the Trea­ty — changes which, In ef­fect, would nullify vital elements of that docu­ment," Tadmor said.

He called these changes, or demands, "Sadat's shock treatment" and.listed them as follows:

a) A provision which

political doctrine, Israel's presence in Judea-Samar-la, Gaza and Golan, and in fact, Israel's own very ex­istence are themselves an aggression, against which the Arab nations are entitl­ed, at any time, to defend themselves. 2) It Is virtually Impossible, In most mlli-

allows Egypt to go to war against Israel in the event that Israel attacked one of the countries with which Egypt has a mutual de­fense pact. Tadmor pointed out that to understand the significance of the Egyp­tian demand one must remember that: 1) Accor­ding to iong-standjng Arab

tary clashes, to identify the aggressor quickly and authoritatively, and It is a foregone conclusion that. In the event of a clash, the Arab States will claim that Israei started the shooting, even if in fact, It was start­ed by the Arab States them­selves. Precisely this has been the case in every

single war between Israel and the Arab States during the past 30 years.

b) A demand to make Ar­ticle 6 (The parties undertake to fulfill in good faith their obligations under this Treaty, without regard to action or interac­tion of any other party and Independently of any In­strument externa! to this Treaty) conditional upon the achievement of a com­prehensive Peace Treaty in­volving Arab nations that have refused to join in the peacemaking process, and that have insisted on con­tinuing their state of war with Israel.

c) To make the exchange of''Ambassadors between Israei and Egypt condi­tional upon the establish­ment of an autonomous ad­ministration in Judea-Samaria and the Gaza District, a pian whose Im­plementation obviously re­quires the cooperation of the peopie directly con­cerned. Such cooperation has, so far, been conspic­uous only by Its absence.

d) A review, after five years, of the security ar­rangements provided for in Article IV, a demand that would undermine the Trea­ty's permanent character. In other words, this essen­tial Egyptian commitment, which from Israel's point of view, is, a crucial part of the entire package, would be regarded from the very outset as temporary — whereas all of the Israei commitments, by their very nature, are permanent and Irreversible. Moreover, the five-year period appears to be designed to coincide with the ending of the envi­sioned transition period In Judea-Samaria and the Gaza District — another form of linkage with the im­plementation of an agree­ment that has not yet been negotiated and with part­ners that refuse to negotiate.

e) The setting of December 1979 as the

target date for the Im­plementation of the autonomy plan In Judea-Samaria and Gaza, thus creating a commitment that Israel can hardly be ex­pected to enter Into, as the necessary negotiating part­ners on those Issues refuse to negotiate.

The stalemate In the peace talks Is attributed to these demands according to Tadmor.

Tadmor repeatedly refer­red to Israel's hope that a vested interest in peace will be created.

"We are willing to take a risk In signing a treaty which contains provisions that may endanger our security. We beiieve that If Egypt and Israel can cooperate In economic, trade, tourism and energy endeavors — even if ali our differences are not im­mediately solved — it will be In the Interest of all par­ties to retain peace," he said.

Tadmor reported that Sadat once said "I can han­dle the Soviets, but the PLO (Palestinian Libera­tion Organization) <aod save me from them." Tad­mor felt other Arab nations could possibly force Sadat into joining a war against Israel even if a treaty was signed.

"On the other hand, Sadat could simply be say­ing this as a political ploy; a way to disengage himself from responsibility to the treaty," he added.

"Some people in Israel believe that this is a plan of grand deception. For myself, I believe that Sadat Is sincere in pursuing peace — on; his terms," said Tadmor.

Tadmor seemed op­timistic about the pro­spects for peace with Egypt although on several occasions he referred to the U.S. lack of evenhand-edness In the past few months,

"If the U.S. supports the process, a peace treaty can be signed.

Special Olympics Needs Voiunteers Most of Our educational

experiences in the quest for.the elusive Bachelor's Degree tend to be campus-oriented. This type of education has classroom, intr|amural, and social ac­tivities experiences. Though multiple in nature, it tends to lack a kind of community invpivement.

A rewarding way to fulfill the "community involve­ment Is through Special Olympics. Special Olymp­

ics is an International pro­gram of sports training and athletic competition for mentally retarded children and adults.

The purpose of Special Olympics is to contribute to the physical, social and psychological develop­ment of the mentally retarded.

Eligible participants are those Individuals who, on the basis of local assess­ment and evaluation, have

been assigned to programs designed to meet the needs of the mentally retarded. Normally, this would mean an i.O. of 75 or less. Special Olympics competition begins at 8 years of age. There is no maximum age limit.

The San Bernardino, Parks & Recreation Depart­ment is hosting its 2nd Special Olympics Games. Participants at this meet win come from the Red-

lands and San Bernardino areas as well as Inyo and Mono Counties.

The tentative date for the Special Olympics meet is set for Saturday, April 28 at San Bernardino Valley Col­lege.

This year we expect even more participation than last year. With the Increas­ing number of participation comes the additional need for more community sup­port through funding and

volunteer participation.

Sponsors, Coaches and Volunteers are needed to make the Special Olympics Program a success, if you can help In any way, please contact Carolyn Leuschen, Special Olympics Area Co­ordinator, San Bernardino Parks and Recreation De­partment, 300 North "D" Street, City Hall, 92418, phone number 383-5233.

New Custom Disco Show A Success The campus discos have

become very popular lately, and this has been mostly due to the accomplish­ments of two of our stu­dents, Howard Sulkin and Lee Klauber. They com­prise the New Custom Dis­co Show. Klauber takes the duties of disc jockey and Sulkin is In charge of the lighting.

When asked how they got the Idea for such a business, Klauber explain­ed that they had been dis­satisfied with last year's discos.

"The Disco Show came about to provide a better activity for the campus at a more reasonable cost than the other mobile discos that had performed on campus. Last quarter we decided to put our ideas In­

to action. We ended up buying and renting a lot of equipment with almost no money. Most of our lighting we designed and built ourselves."

Their most striking light­ing effect Is the mirrored light wheel which they spent about three weeks designing and building. They felt that by designing their own lighting they could customize the show to their facilities and their audience. It also saved them money. "Obtaining equipment and supplies with little capital was our biggest problem," explains Sulkin.

Their first show was well liked by everyone who at­tended and they have been requested by students

through the A.S. Activities Committee for discos ever since. Klauber looks at their success this way: "We are very happy with the success of the disco so far, considering that Howard and I had no ex­perience or money. Now that we are more sure of what we are doing, we are planning to expand the show by adding more lighting effects and audio equipment. After we get our own equipment we are going to start promoting our show off-campus."

Sulkin stressed, "Even though we don't make a lot of money on the shows we do on campus we are still most concerned about pro­viding our best shows for our fellow students on this

campus." Both Klauber and Sulkin

say they enjoy doing these discos and that Is one of the other reasons for creating their business. It Is great to see students

succeeding at such a ven­ture.

The New Custom Disco Show will be performing this Thursday, February 1st and on February 15th In the Student Union.

Insurance Coverage For Scheduled Student Travel Explained

All students of the California State University and Col­leges are insured while being transported to or while par­ticipating in school sponsored activities which are con­ducted away from the College or University campus. There are two broad categories of activities for which this coverage exists: (1) individuals involved in the business of the AS or a recognized student organization, or as part of an Instructional or instructlonally related activity, (2) a group of students involved in an activity sponsored by the College or a recognized student organization.

To be eligible for coverage the activity must be scheduled in advance in the Activities Office. Here the group or individual is Informed of coverage, allowable means of transportation and precautions that must be taken. The advisor to the group, or the Individual student if traveling alone, must keep with them the insurance policy number furnished by the State Insurance Officer, which is to be used in case of an accident. Coverage:

Students who participate in a scheduled and approved event that occurs off of the campus have the following trip insurance coverage for accidents which Is in effect while traveling to and from the event as well as during the event:

Accidental Death and Dismemberment $5000.00 Principal Sum Accident Medical Expense $5000.00 Maximum Limit

Guidelines and Procedures: 1. The activity must be scheduled in the Activities Of­

fice and be closely related to the business of the organization or group represented.

2. All forms required by the CSCSB Policy on Potential­ly Hazardous Student Programs and Activities must be on file In the appropriate office.

"Casino Night" Poses Problems For Serrano Viilage Council

There have been a number of eyebrows raised over a recent Serrano Village Council decislorr to give Waterman dorm $40 to put on "Casino Night," held last Friday in the Student Union. The problem; although the money the Serrano Village Council allocates Is for ail of the dorm students, Waterman is collecting the proceeds from "Casino Night."

Some students feel that Waterman has two solutions to this sticky situation, neither of which Waterman is doing. They could simply pay back the Serrano Viilage Council the $40 from their profits, or they could have let other dorm students into "Casino Night" admission-free. (In­stead they had to pay $1 like everyone else.)

The Serrano Viilage Council does not get its money, from the Associated Students, (AS) rather from the Foundation Board. However,the AS regularly parcels out money to clubs and interest interest groups — rarely with the stipulation that they be repaid. The newly formed Committee For Clubs, for example, was given $2,000 by the Finance Board to allocate to organizations this year. Concerned then that this amount of money wouldn't be enough, the Committee For Clubs has only given out $500 to date. The Committee For Clubs' philosophy is that the committee's money be used as "seed money" to bring in profits for whatever organization Is requesting the funds, in other words "it takes money to make money." The Committee For Clubs is Including a provision In their not yet approved Rules And Procedures which says the committee can ask the club to repay the "seed money." However, according to a Committee spokeswoman, clubs rarely break even in their activities, so this provision would only be enforced in huge­ly successful money-making projects so as not to discourage campus clubs from sponsoring activities.

In the same way the Foundation Board has earmarked money for the dorms, and the Serrano Village Council's sole concern, according to Residence Director Will Gordon, is to use this money to "provide social activities for Serrano Village." This concern was surely accomplished by Waterman last Friday, considering the large turn-out for "Casino Night."

Perhaps a more serious concern than whether or not Waterman should repay the Serrano Village Council the $40 is the manner in which the "Casino Night" decision was reached. Although the Serrano Village Council has a constitution that calls for two members from each dorm to make up its constituency, for the past year and a half the voting member­ship has been open to whatever dorm student shows up at the meeting. This decision was made by the Residence Director Gordon. Gordon feels that this is a more effective way of conducting business, and that the council has been successful in getting more students involved in this less formal atmosphere. He denies the student using any "railroading" techniques such as staging large turn-outs to pass a motion advan-tgeous only to themselves.

"For example, there wasn't a majority of Waterman Students at the meeting that gave that dorm the responsibility for "Casino Night," states Gordon. "However, we have formed a committee to draw up some formal guidelines for the Council meetings in order to avoid problems in the future."

We'll ail be waiting expectantly for the committee's suggestions.

A $«a Of Backgammon Sets The Tournament begins

By Eugene N. Morse Any observant person who visited the beach In recent'summers will no

doubt recall viewing a proliferation of handsome-looking cases adjacent to the towels, radios and other more familiar beach accouterments. Two years ago, this author discovered the mysterious cases were all In fact, a type pf game, called backgammon. Backgammon Is reportedly the oldest game in the world, predating chess by about one thousand years. The Random House Dictionary of the English Language defines the game as t

"Backgammon (bak'gam on), n. a game for two persons played on a board having two tables or parts, with pieces or men moved In accordance with throws of the dice."

With all due respect, this definition falls to convey the potential ex­citement and passion the game can invoke. The public's Increasing devotion to the game Is reflected In the enormous number of books recently apearing in print. Titles like. Backgammon for Blood, and Backgammon: The Cruelest Game, are studied In an effort to improve one's method.

With this increased Interest in the game, it seems Inevitable that "Backgammon Fever" would, (after an unsuccessful tournament effort last Spring), eventually manifest Itself at Cal State, San Bernardino.

The First Annual MENC-sponsored Backgammon Tournament was held In the Student Union Multi-purpose room last Wednesday night. Everyone Involved expressed a surprised pleasure at the fine organiza­tion, turn-ou^t, and ultimate success of the event.

At 7:30 p;m., one could view twenty-eight people engaged in the pur­suit of at least one of two common goals; to break through the ranks and be victorious in the quest for the championship, or at least have a hell of a good time competing against fellow enthusiasts. While only one In­dividual accomplished the former, It appeared that everyone was suc­cessful in the latter.

As in life, an unknown balance exists In backgammon between luck and skill. It Is for this reason that the lucky novice can often beat the seasoned pro. However, after playing a.series of games, it soon becomes painfully obvious where luck leaves off, and skill and tenacity enter, ultimately deciding who'll be the winner.

By 10 p.m., only four people remained in the competition, though many stayed to watch and play fellow losers.

It Is perhaps fitting that Jeffery C. Hubbard and Constantinos Tellalls (Prakesh) were the last two vying for the first place slot, as Hubbard is a theatre arts major, while music major-Tellalis frequents the other end of the Creative Arts building. Though it was known in both departments that each had a sizable number of backgammon devotees, rarely have Cal State's actors met their musician brothers (or sisters) to engage in what may be their only mutual Interest.

Though the English enjoyed backgammon before most Americans knew of its existence, British-born Tellalis was to lose first place by a single roll of the dice, underscoring the all-important element'of luck.

Following his win, Hubbard cited two fellow actors as major in­fluences In his distinctive Myle of play. Said Hubbard, "Danny La Rue and David Mau always stressed the Importance of a 'i>ack-game.' That is, only moving the two men out of your opponents inner board when ob­viously advantageous." Enormously pleased with his victory, he .added, "Observing what disasters chess tournaments sometimes are, I was

The PawPrinI, January 30.1979

amazed at the smooth organization of what I believe was Cal State's first successful backgammon tournament. It was cosmological."

Credit for organizational prowess belongs to the tournament co­ordinator. Music major Craig Hymer planned the event, as well as in­structed many of his fellow music majors in the rules of the game.

Hubbard's prize was a digital alarm clock, with second prize winner Tellalis receiving a high-intensity desk lamp. Both prizes were donated by Richland's of Riverside.

Any students interested in forming a permanent backgammon club at CSCSB should contact Thomas Huxley through the theatre arts depart­ment. If realized, a backgammon club might be able to repeat the suc­cess of the annual tournament on a weekly basis.

Rasta Vibration In The Heart Of Babylon: Reggae Reaches Cal State

Open your eyes and look within are you satisfied with the life you're living? We know where we're going We know where we're from We're leaving Babylon into our Father's land

—Bob Marley

by Michael Potepan and Bill Krumwiede Though CSCSB is about as far as one might travel from Jamaica

(culturally If not physically) our campus recently enjoyed the privilege, however unlikely, of hosting the first (ever) academic attempt to chroni­cle the emergence and development of Jamaica's own Reggae/Rasta phenomena. The lecture, presented by Island Records executive Lister Hewan-Lowe, was offered as a one-unit music course (808) through the extension program. Susan Harris of Continuing Education, was entirely responsible for contacting Hewan-Lowe and getting the event off the ground. Although only a handful of regular Cal State students took ad­vantage of this unique opportunity, the lecture was well attended by out-of-town Reggae buffs from such diverse points as San Francisco, Hollywood, Santa Barbara, and San Diego. Such participation perhaps Is not so surprizing In the light of the fact that notice of the event was published in such oracles of dissemination as Billboard Magazine, BAM (Bay Area Music), and the LA. Times.

The lecture itself, augmented by an Impressive audio-visual display, was, In the true Jamaclan tradition, more than an hour late in getting started, in the interim, participants milled around, drank coffee, and listened to some very loud and obscure reggae records. Finally, once all the machinery was deemed to be rolling in the proper fashion, the event got under way.

Hewan-Lowe, who Is Instrumental In promoting reggae music as the president of Mango Records, Island's reggae division, is a slight man possessed with an engaging smile and a typically lilting Jamaclan ac­cent. Throughout the lecture, the audience responded warmly to Hewan-Lowe who would burst Into song or begin jiving in a high speed patois to illustrate a point. He began the lecture by outlining the historical (development of indigenous forms of Jamaclan popular music since

World War II. In the early 1950's, while Jamaica was still a vestige of Bri­tain's crumbling colonial empire, there existed no facilities to record or transmit Jamaclan music anywhere on the island. Thus, when radios became available, people tuned to stations broadcasting from aii over the Caribbean. They began to pick up on musical forms as diverse as callipso from Trinidad and Rhythm and Blues from New Orleans. Jama-cians lost little time In incorporating these elements into their own folk music.

By the time of independence, in 1962, many island groups were play­ing a new form of music called Ska, a mixture of American jazz and latino rhythms. Recordings done on unsophisticated tape recorders were sent to London for pressing and processing. Since Radio Jamacia refused to play Ska, it reached the people through "sound systems." Sound systems were the original discos. Crude equipment was carted off to various lodges around the Island, and dances were held. This "sound system" still exists today since the government only allows reggae to be played over the air after midnight. The elite Jamaclan establishment considered this form of music beneath them, and so it was mostly poor folks who grooved to these beats.

Jamaclan musical forms tend to be short-lived, and by the mid-sixties. Ska gave way to Rock Steady. Rock Steady emphasized more vocals and stronger bass/drum arrangements. By the late sixties, as Rock Steady paved the way for Reggae, a few songs began to make it outside of Jamacia. Perhaps a few people remember Millie Small's "My Boy Loliypop" or Desmond Dekker's "The Israelites" from this period. By now, recording and processing facilities existed within Jamacia.

Many of the big reggae groups of today, including the Wailers and Toots & The Maytais emerged during this era. These groups began to ar­ticulate the feelings of resentment and frustration harbored by many Jamacian young people when confronted by a system that provides few jobs, inadequate Incomes, and high levels of discrimination. Within this context, reggae music became protest music against not only the Jama­cian establishment, but against the entire international status quo. Young people and reggae musicians began to took Increasingly to the Rastafarian movement for guidance and inspiration in their struggle against the predominant system. In so doing, they also began to adopt the Rasta patterns of behavior such as dropping out entirely from socie­ty and smoking great quanlties of herb. There are some obviously close parallels here with America's own counter-culture of the I960's.

Before lunch, Hewan-Lowe traced reggae's penetration Into American and European popular music. The first big reggae hit in America was Jonny Nash's "Hold Me Tight". After this, Jimmy Cliff released "Beautiful World, Beautiful People." Songs such as these attracted the attention of established pop stars. Paul Simon came to Jamacia to record "Mother and Child Reunion" backed by the Maytais. The big breakthrough came when Eric Clapton covered the Bob Marley song "I Shot The Sheriff." Other reggae influenced songs that made it big in this country are Stevie Wonder's "Reggae Women" and the Eagles "Hotel California." The morning lecture ended with a 45 minute video recording of Bob Marley and the Wallers live at London's Rainbow Theatre. Follow­ing this, the presentation broke for lunch.

Outside of the Lower Commons, where the event was held, it was spliff city as participants mingled and traded accounts about reggae and Rastafarianlsm. Several of these attending had traveled in Jamacia and there were some funny stories concerning the woes of mucking around in the jungle and eating goat patties. There were many positive vibra­tions shared In both the literal and figurative sense. A bit bieary-eyed, but no worse for the wear and tear, the group returned for the afternoon session.

Upon the participants return, the film "The Harder They Come" star­ring Jimmy Cliff was screened. The movie, the first feature film ever made in Jamacia was directed by the Jamacian filmmaker Perry Henzel. Since its release in 1973, it has become a must-see cult movie for reggae f^ns around the^world. The movie Is beautifully filmed and entirely employs native non-actors who simply piay themselves. It Is the first-

.English language film ever to require English subtitles so the audience can understand the thickly accented patois of the Jamacian non-actors. The story concerns one Ivan O. Martin, newly arrived in Kingston (the capital) from the countryside. He dreams of becoming a reggae star, while learning the ropes necessary for survival in the city. At first he is unfamiliar with urban habits, but quickiy adjusts and becomes a sort of small-time street hustler. Guys like this were called rude boys in the late 60's in Jamacia.

Through some stroke of luck, Ivan is offered a chance to record his song (the memorable "Harder They Come") backed by the Maytais. He is offered the standard reggae contract (at least at that time. Hewan-Lowe assured us that things have changed) of $20 and no royalties by the con­temptuous and rich Record magnet. Refusing at first, Ivan soon learns that there is not way to have the record played without the record com-

pany's cooperation. Reluctantly, Ivan accepts the $20 contract. As time goes by, Ivan (always leery of authority) gets into a shootout

with the police. This leads to a fugitive stint while his record (because of his newly found notoriety) streaks to the top of the Jamacian charts, ivan finally dies laughing in another shootout following a failed attempt to catch a freighter to Cuba. But to the young and oppressed of Jamacia, Ivan has become a symbol of opposition to the system. "The Harder They Come" is one of the very few third world films to ever be shown in the west. It accurately chronicles the plight of displaced agrarian people in the third world who are forced to confront urban poverty and despair.

In his lecture following the film, Hewan-Lowe stressed reggaes' close association with the Rastafarian Movement. Rastafarianism penetrates every aspect of reggae and is virtually inseparable from it. Many reggae songs are riddled with references to Jah (God, from Jehovah), ap-pocolipses, vibrations, Zion, Old Testament prophets, etc. Many reggae musicians wear their hair in the distinctive rast dreadlocks. Hewan-Lowe discussed some of the musicians connections with various wings of the unstructured church. He noted that Rastafarianism is not a cult in the Jim Jones sense, since it is very loosely structured and has no one com­manding central figure of authority. Many disputes and factions divide the movement. Cults are autocratic, while Rastafarianism tends to be almost democratic in its decision-making processes.

The present membership, including sympathizers, is in the region of about 90,000. The leading brethren are mostly men of about 35. Women play a relatively minor role, and the membership is almost entirely male. The standard profile of the rank and file is young and lower class, although some rebellious children from upper-class families are present In small number.

Rastafarianism starts with Marcus Garvey, an early 20th century Jamacian preacher. Throughout his life he was Involved with a back-to-Africa movement. He has been described alternately as a prophet and a hustler. In a Kingston church one Sunday in 1927, Marcus Garvey pro­phesied, "Look to Africa, where a black king shall be crowned, for the day of deliverance is here." In 1930 a tribal warlord from a remote corner of Ethiopia named Ras Tafari Makonnen had himself crowned the 111th Emperor of Ethiopia in a line traced to the union of King Solomon and Queen Makeda of Sheba. Tafari took a new name: Haile Selassie —

"Power of the Holy Trinity." Jamacian Garveyites, with the coronation of this African king, consulted their Bibles for a sign, wondering if this was the black king of whom Garvey preached. The textual evidence was strong. Rev. 5:2, 5; "And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, 'Who is worthy to open the Book, and to loose the seals thereof? . . . And one of the elders salth unto me, 'Weep not: behold, the Lion of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the Book, and to loose the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth." Several preachers in Kingston began to pray to Haile Selassie as the living God and the central figure of African redemption. Worshippers of Selassie became known as Ras Tafarius, or Rustamen.

Rastafari brethren profess no monolithic creed. Some Rastas wear their in locks, while others wear it short. Some smoke copious amounts of ganja, while others are Jamaica's finest woodcarvers, artists, and craftsmen. Only two beliefs hold the brethren in common: That Ras Tafari Is the living God, and that redemption for the black man can only come through repatriation to Africa. Rastas think of themselves as the lost tribes of Israel sold into slavery in the Caribbean Babylon, and when the children of Israel fly away home to Zion at last, the throne of Babylon-colonial Jamaica and the whole of white ciyillzation will timiblo -down in a hail of blood and brimstone. Careful attention is paid to esoteric biblical texts to justify the Rasta cosmology, and arcane Rasta oral history explains what the Bible neglects. So a Dread wilt tell you that the black race sinned in primeval days and was punished by Jah in the form of the conquest and enslavement of Africa by white men.

The four great pirates of the movement (John Hawkins, Cecil Rhodes, Stanley Livingstone, and U.S. Grant) brought the slaves to the New World to enrich the Babylonian Queen Elizabeth I, currently reincarnate as Elizabeth li. The golden Scepter of the House of Judah in Ethiopia, magically empowered with the dominion of the world, was stolen from Ethiopia by Marc Anthony and Julius Caesar, who used it to build the Roman Empire. From Rome the Scepter was stolen by Britain, which in­herited the Roman world. When Haile Selassie was crowned in 1930, King George V of England sent his son, the Duke of Gloucester, to Ethiopia with the Scepter as a gift to the Emperor. While he was in Ethiopia the Duke became drunk and wandered off in the wilderness and ate tail grass, revealing himself to be the reincarnate King of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar. When the Duke gave Selassie the Scepter, the Emperor regained his powers. Selassie sent a mysterious emblem back to England with the Duke to give to his father, but when King George saw the emblem he was paralyzed and died shortly after. Gloucester became king and, to fulfill the prophecies, abdicated in the knowledge that he could resume the throne after the reincarnate Elizabeth I to rule as the final king of Babylon and preside over its utter destruction.

The l-vine Theocratic Majesty Haile Selassie died In a small apartment^ in his former palace on August 27,1975. Some in Jamaica laughed at the^ Rastas and taunted that their God had died. But Rastas give no creden e to death and went on as usual. One Rasta said, "Haile Selassie not de; d.; Him only appear and disappear. What is death to him? Nothing. I get a vision of him the other day when the government say him dead. His ma- < jesty was sitting like this in a chair. I mon look to him and say, 'Dada!'' And him turn to me and say 'They say I'm dead, but I cannot die. I am not f dead, I RASTAFARI, LIVETH.' "

in Jamaica today the Rastafarlans are not Just a sect waiting to go back to Africa, but an alternative spiritual nationality that supplies a mass cultural Identity for thousands of young Jamaicans stranded bet­ween their school years and an endless cycle of demeaning labor and unemployment. The beliefs and rituals resolve ail the killing ironies of a white man's god In a brutalized society. Rasta asceticism allows poor people to make their way through the 20th century with dignity instead of shame and envy. Rastas say that in its local form Babylon Is represented by the government, the police and the church. The Rastafarlans attribute all their present distress to the political machinery of Jamaican politics, which Is to them the monster which makes Jamaica unllvable. Most Rastas refuse to vote or pay taxes or send their children to school.

Barnes: Merging A Classical Play With Modern Technoiogy

by Owen Sheeran and Eugene Moree Something classical is about to happen. When people think of

something as "classical," be it music, theatre, or literature, the vision becomes one of aged wisdom and reverent timelessness. What happens when something classical merges with present-day technology? The answer may lie In The Players of the Pear Garden production of Euripides' "Medea," which opens next month at CSCSB.

Directed by Ronald E. Barnes, chair of the Theatre Arts department, this production of "Medea" will combine the classical Greek tragedy with a theatre technology never used before at Cal State. Along with traditional claslcal devices such as the use of masks, "Medea" will also use electronic music, dramatic lighting effects, and lasers to achieve Its unique concept.

PAWPRINT:

BARNES:

You are now In the process of directing "Medea," which is the Theatre department's third production In Its 1978-79 season. Could you give us the story line of "Medea"? "Medea" Is the story of a woman ^whose husband leaves her to marry another woman. M^dea Is exiled and, before going Into exile, she kills her children rather than taking them with her or leaving them with her husband. If one isn't careful, one can say this Is the vengence of an evil woman. Many versions of the Medea myth, particularly those told by 17th century French playwrights, emphasize the evil of the woman. My own perspective Is that It's not Medea that Is evil, it's Jason who Is at fault; who Is weak. Jason has not

yet come Into manhood. He cannot assume mature responsibility and so he flits from one woman to another just for his own pleasure. The emphasis is on Medea's decision, the difficulty of the decision, the tragedy of the decision, the pain that she faces and the tragedy of the pain. She Is mature enough to feel the pain and Jason is not.

"I try to find a play that is applicable to our time. "Medea," I think, Is very appropriate for this period."

BARNES:

Since "Medea" Is considered one of the greatest of the Greek tragedies of the Classical Period, in terms of directing, are you keeping to a strictly Classical style?

It Is a modification of the Classical Style. Modification in the sense that we do not really know all of the details of 5th century production. We do have some Indica­tions, but certain things like the dance patterns were never recorded, so we don't know precisely what the dance patterns are. There Is disagreement as to what the musical Instrumentation was, but we do know there was some accompanying instrumentation. In many of the Classical Greek plays there was a chorus. Since a chorus does exist In "Medea" what Is Its real purpose? From a dramatic standpoint a group of people speak­ing at one time, or with some combination of varying voices; it Is a very dramatic device. The massive voice can be far more effective than a single voice, so that the Greek chorus carries more weight numerically.

Thus, a king facing a group of people can be somewhat balanced numerically, so that he has strength, posi­tion, and power, but numerically a chorus can support him, they can be neutral, or be In opposition. What can you relate about the chorus as relates to the actor or actress who Is a member of It? = The Chorus Is on stage all the time. The actor and ac­tress have to learn how to use their voices. Because of the Chorus' omnipresence, there Is constant attention to how their bodies are listening; by this I mean all the necessary techniques an actor or actress bring to their craft. One of the dey^ices of Classical Drama consists of the actor using a mask to cover his face. Since this Is also the case In "Medea" could you elaborate a little on this? The origin for the mask In Classical Theatre Is twofold. One, the classical Greek theatre was about half the size of a football stadium with about 4-5,000 people In the audience. We're talking about a relatively large space, from the stage to the back of the audience, almost 200 feet. Because of that distance the actor was built up In size; to scale the actor to the size of the performing space. Another reason for the mask, however, Is related to the ritual background of the theatre. The mask Is a way of man becoming another

person; assuming a second self. The other thing about the mask, and I think this is an important one, Is we think of the mask as being a rigid, unmoving represen­tation, but by the use of light and moving the light on the planes of the mask, one gets the illusion that the mask Is changing shape. One also gets the Illusion that eyes are following you, and the mask takes on a human quality, while at the same time conveying a cer­tain abstraction which is a part of the theatre.

Director of "Medoa," Ron Damos

PAWPRINT: The Theatre Arts department makes It a practice to PAWPRINT: choose classical material, not only for its students, but also for the community. You've done Classical Greek plays at CSCSB before. Why did you choose "Medea"?

BARNES: First of all because It's topical. I try to find a play that Is BARNES: applicable to our time. The last Greek play i did was "Antigone" and that was near the end of the 1960's. At that time social protest was very much a part of the dialogue of the time. "Medea," I think, is very ap­propriate for this period. Today's world seems to be hesitant in recognizing the importance of equal rights.

"On this show we're not going for realistic effects. We're looking for relatively strong colors to show changing emo­tions. The lighting will be more complicated, together with special effects which will include the use of lasers."

Pftelo bf Etf0«n«

The technical aspects of every theatre production are Important to an overall concept. It has been said that this production of "Medea" is quite involved technical­ly. What are some of the technical aspects of "Medea"? Up to this point our lighting has been generally realistic. On this show we're not going for realistic ef­fects. We're looking for relatively strong colors to show changing emotions. Because it Is unrealistic we'll use more color changes and more light cues. The lighting will be more complicated, together with special effects which will include the use of lasers. Because we have electronic music composed for this show, and because the cueing Is very complicated, we've got to use alter­nating tape decks with a variety of speakers. The nature of electronic music is such that certain speakers play back electronic music in different ways. So, from piece to piece there will be adjustments which are possible on our sound board. Normally, we

Not all Greek plays have a chorus of women. In fact, most of them have a chorus of men. The roles In "Medea" are relatively equally divided between male and female; the major speaking roles. The chorus Is women so I chose this play to provide more of our female students with potential roles, particularly to balance the choice of the fall show, "The Homecom­ing," which was definitely weighted the other way. I suppose I felt It was time we did Greek; It's been awhile. And ideally, every four years a student has ex­posure to ail the major historical periods. We can't quite do that, but we try to.

"The Greek Theatre Is very exciting and very dynamic. I think students will discover an exciting emotional experience where a variety of senses are challenged and stimulated."

have only one person cueing the sound. For this show we're going to have two people. So In that sense It's more complicated. The sound will have to come In specifically on cue. Sometimes the sound wilt give the actor the cue and sometimes the actor will give sound the cue. Technical rehearsals usually start eight days before opening night. On this show we'll start ten days before we open. Even before that we're having a special technical rehearsal which we don't usually have. We're also starting the crews working with the equipment even earlier than that so they will have been working two weeks beforehand. They're going to know the equipment better; more thoroughly than we usually ask our crews to know It. In closing, what could you say to encourage people to experience "Medea"?

PAWPRINT:

BARNES: The Greek Theatre Is very exciting and very dynamic. It has a lot to tell us about ourselves, it's not a relic and It's not something resurrected from a museum. I thjnk students will discover an exciting emotional ex­perience where a variety of senses are challenged and stimulated^

"Medea" will open on Thursday, February 22 at 8:15 p.m. ii th« Creative Arts Theatre. The play will be presented February 23-24, 27-28 and March 1-3.

"A" League Basketball Play Begins by A! Estrada

"A"-League basketball action got underway last Wednesday.

In the first game, the Ringers II were a little too much for Fuds and Friends, beating them 44-34.

Mel Koren with 14, Terry Davis with 11, and Mark Ulmer with 8 led the way for the Ringers II, while Mark Cameron, who didn't score, played well defensively.

Fuds and Friends were prac­

tically a two-man show as Bob O'Brien and Kirby Walsh shared scoring honors with eight a piece.

O'Brien with his rebounding and Walsh with his rebounding and great passing kept Fuds and Friends in the game.

The game had the makings of a rout as the Ringers jumped out to a big lead. However, Fuds and Friends pulled within five points with two minutes remaining.

A three-point play by Terry Davis cinched the victory.

In the second game the Alums outlasted the Warthogs, 66^60. The two Als, little Al Laragione with 18 mostly on outside bombs, and Big Al Graham with 14 on Inside shots, led the way for the Alums.

Bob Stretch and John Nagel scored 9 a piece for the Alums.

The Warthogs, made up of players who had largely never

played together, were led by Mike Sawyers with 14 and Bob LIpske with 13.

The Harp brothers, David and Dan, chipped in with 10 and 8 points respectively.

The Alums, who looked like they have played together longer, handled the ball better. That made the difference as the Warthogs threw the ball away numerous times, costing them the game.

A Nous La Liberie Is a delightful­ly funny film that Is a satire on the mechanizations of 20th century In-dustriai -life. A decidedly left-wing film, It looks at the Industrial work­ing world where machines run the show and men are their slaves. The

As time wears on, he begins to long for the happier days when he was a bum. Done in operetta style, A Nous La Liberie Is said to have been the influence for the later Charles Chaplin film classic Modern Times.

The 1931 film Is directed by Rene Clair, and stars Raymond Cordy and Henri Marchand. It is 87 minutes long.
