Judy Collins Concert FOrmal for Freshmen By Lynn Marmer
The atmopshere was tense and filled with a sense of anticipation, Friday November, 13. The lights finally dimmed and the spot light lit up the stage. Then, Judy Collins walked out.
The a u d i e n c e · was a strange mixture of pwple. It was not the convential concert crowd. There were no "Teenyboppers" and the youngest appeared to be juniors or seniors in High School. There were girls in frilly dresses and guys in dark business suits and ties. There were bearded young men and braless girls in long dresses. The majority of the audience seemed to date back to the early 60's when Judy Collins first started touring. All of these people applauded loudly when she first appeared and silently waited for her first song.

soft and moving and finished her encore with a wonder ful jazz. And tha t 's the way the concert mov.ed; up and down, soft and peaceful , dynamic and stirring. Her songs included the works of Joni
Workers and Students Unite
By Jeryl V. Proce The Worker's Strike Sup
port Committee demonstrated and marched to shut down Luby Chevrolet, Boylston Street, Boston, at Dudley police station in Roxbury 0n November 14. Three weeks ago, this strike committee led a militant march and rally of 300 workers and stude!}tS to Seymour Chevrolet. The executives of this firm, that day, made no money on scab cars. Last week in Detroit, hundreds of workers joined thousands of students in a march on General Motor's World Headquarters saying, "Back auto workers, not liberal politicians ." Right before the Detroit demonstration, Henry Ford, the U.A.W. leaders and the governor of Michigan attacked the demonstration on television.
The S.D.S. feels that these were terrific victories over General 'Motors and felt that students should have followed and lead the militant workers on November 14.
Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, and originals including some from her new a 1 b u m "WHALES AND NIGHTINGALES." Her back up group was a close group that generated a sense of real_ enjoyment in their work. The group included; a p2rsonable bassist, Gene Taylor, a woman drummer, Susan Evans and a highly talented pianist, Richard Bell. The interaction between the group and M'iss Collins made one realize just how tight they .qll are.
To try to sum things up is near impossible. But I wlll ·begin by saying Judy Collins and her performance was; personal , timeless, stron g, tight , soft , mezmorizing . ... a wonderful exp2rience.

p.m. in White Hall lounge was the first formal freshman meeting. Official counting done by Judy Frey tallied 50 girls attended. There was of course a slight turnover since the girls walking in and out stopped for a few brief minutes to view what was going on in the lounge. Realizing that it wasn't very important, just the all Freshman meeting, they hurried away to their other important matters of concern.
The meeting itself was chaired by President Joni Greenberg and the rest of the officials sat by at close attention. Linn Wilson was present to help sort out some of the confusion. The main

This is a wellmarked interesting, informative, and very enjoyable walking tour of Boston's historic sites.

The pizza parlors and pastry shops are impossible to pass up, and it's a god idea to arrive at the North End at lunchtime. For you camera buffs, there is ample opportunity to find interesting subjects along the way. The tour ends by the har'bor and the various ships and dockyard atmosphere are a linly finish to the tour. _

The entire tour takes anywh2re from two hours to the entire day, depending on how many stops you wish to make, and whether or not you wish to take any of the side trips which are offered through _out the tour. One such trip takes yo:i through Boston's North End, a predominently Italian section. It is delightful to walk through the streets, past the
dent at the University 0f New Mexico. He was selling the photos for a reasonable
price of five dollars and up. All the photos iwere the subjects of life in Cambridge, displaying the people and the environment. If a n y o n e wo~ld like portraits, or to purchase or look at any of these photographs, Richard's studio is located at 1705 Mass. Ave. or call for information at 3·54-9109 or 491-4712.
topic of the meeting was of course, change in house policy which consists of such things as, no curfews, open dorms, and 23 hour parietals. Joni pointed out what we could do to get things done as quickly as possible. Linn told us, as a senior, her class had been waiting for four years and are still waiting. Jonie made it clear that we can have what we want if we are persistent, and continue working for it. A number of girls volunteered to help write letters, and set up a proposal to send to the Council, to be ready sometime next week.
The freshmen were made aware that Dean Ritvo was not pleased with the attitude they were taking. She had made some comments implying that the freshman class were the worst as far as br ea kin g tn e var iou s 1aws w hi ch are an important part of college policy. Everyone clapped and a few arms went up in praise.
Another disconcerning fac-
tor that made the girls aware that the rules had to be obeyed was the new knowledge ~bout he blue laws which Linn Wilson pointed out. She explained that in Mass., unless you have 23 hour parietals and/or are married, because of the No Knock Laws, any policeman at any time can walk in your room, and arrest both boy and girl, and hold the school and house mother liable. The intensity of that didn't strike until Linn repeated it about four times. The silence was broken though, when a 'boy and girl walked out from behind the "blue door." This incident was funny but it did display the rampant disregard for the rules.
A suggestion that editorials or letters be written by various girls to be put if!.to the paper, a s so 1•l of a p re ssure ta c tic, was made. Th ese would be ju st to remind the adm inis tra tion that the girls are waiting and are enthusiastic.
States Receive Federal Funds For Land and Water
Secretary Hickel has announced apportionment of $176,729,000 from the Land
· and Wat er Conservation Fund for fiscal year 1971 to the 50 States, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa and the District of Columbia.
The apportionment represents more than 95 p2rcent of the $185.4 million Congress appropriated for Stale use. $8,671,000 was set aside in a contingency reserve to meet emergency · situations and unforeseen needs of States and their cities or counti es.
The 1971 apportionment exceeds the 1970 apportionment by more than $117 million. This additional money was requested last February by President Nixon in his Message on the Environment At that time he stated that the purpose of his request was to provide additional park and recreation facilities, with increased emphasis on locations easily accessible to crowded urban areas.
All money allocated from the Fund to the States is
matched on a 50-·50 basis. Individual projects are approved by State officials and the Interior's Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, which administers the Fund.
The Fund receives revenue from entrance and user fees at Federal recreation areas , proceeds from the sale of surplus Federal real pro perty, and the Federal mo tor boat fuels tax. rt a:lso receives money eithe r from general Treasurer revenues or from Outer Continental Shelf mineral leasing receipts to increase the Fund to a level of $200 million annually in th e five fiscal years from 1969 through 1973.
The States' share of the Fund is apportioned as follows: F'orty percent is divided equally among the 50 States; five percent is reserved for unforeseen needs; and the remaining 55 percent is divided among the States, Territories, and the District of Columbia on the basis of (1) population, (2) Federal resources and programs, and (3) out-of-state visitor use of recreation areas.

Editorial By Jeryl V. Proce
Ecology and environmental science have come into prominence recently. It is perhaps one of the major concerns in society and therefore should be a very important topic as part of college culture.
We must become actively involved and try to improve any environmental fault in existence. Ecology, by definition, is the study of man's relationship to other animals and their relationships to the environment. The key word here, is inter-relationships. In Ecology, the aim is to understand the inter-relationships of aM aspects of the environment and the inhabitants . of the earth. Once we make an attempt to do that, the defense against environmental destruction can be organized more effectively.
style, shows that we ar2 completely ignoring the effects we are having on the earth. These effects are endangering both in the immediate and long~range view. We struggle desperately against nature , in an attempt to conquer and harne ss her .
Man must live within the context of Ecology. He has no choice. Within this context he must recognize his responsibility to safeguard the natural life support processes of this planet. Yet our industries, our economic expansion, our population growth, our cultural and religious values, in fact our entire life
We fight her in every turn. Our industri es pour tons if poisons into whatever body of water they can find nearby. We throw anything into our garbage and down our drains. Our demand for endless economci growth, for a larger gross national product each year, results in mountains of garbage, cavities in the earth and the permanent exhaustion of much of the earth's irreplaceable resources. Our population, if it continues to grow at the present rate, will double within the next thirty years. Nature cannot maintain herbalance much longer unless w2 cooperate, not interfere, with her natural cycles.
These facts .point to the ever increasing dangers facing us . We must take action now in some effort to save our planet from destruction.

An Opinion By Jeryl V. Proce
This is a message to a'll oi you vegetables at Harvard, fraternity pigs at Tufts, machine men at M.I.T. and any other male dominated institutions in this vicinity .
I am fed up with listening to your cries and pleas; to your insults and expectations directed to and at me. I am not just a body. I am not just a ''dumb broad" ( excuse the expression) who goes to Lesley College to find a vegetable, pig or machine to spend the rest of my life with. I am a person who has feelings and emc-~,ons, who wants to experience life -pro life,-not anti-life.
I am deplored by the 3.ction on the part of the male sect at Harvard, they who gawk with their telescopes into White Hall. These perverted men, who sit by their desks five days a week rereading Williams vs. Mississippi, I Plessy vs. Ferguson, man vs. woman. Their entire lives are entangled with something vs. something. Their conversation is either centered on their previously reviewed cases that th ey were so diligently studyin g, or why going to bed with them could be such a beautiful experience. How . can anyone experience anything and find it beautiful without knowing each other or caring or being sensitive?
is a flood and you're all washed away and a new crop comes in, because hell, I certain 1ly don't want to pollinate with any of you.
The rambunctious calls Monday through Sunday evening, from "brother" pig at Tufts, the herding in, the •bids, and finally the slaughter. Only their · slaughter comes in · a much different form. Usually it's a forward pass down the middle and ends with a touch down. Jocks go to hell. Your style, your manner - you make me sick to my stomach. My only words to you are that one day, ham will be in great demand and we'ill be herding
you in for the kill. Machines of the world
unite! Are there any men at M.I.T.? Are there any of you capa'ble of functioning as individuals? our conversation s, you as "individuals," you as machines need grease jobs. I have no hope for you either. If you're lucky maybe while the vegetables are being flooded and the pigs are being slaughtered , you'il just rust away. '
What do we do women at Lesley? What are the alternatives? Do we continue letting these present conditions exist? I certainly don't know. Perhaps we'H get a reply from a concerned male. Are there any of you "concerned" males out there?
Letter to the Editor Dear Editor:
I was upset to read the demands made by the Lesley students that a certain proportion of the workers on the "New Lesley" be from minority groups.
In theory it is desirabl e. and should be, but in actuality · it is practically impossible. No contractor can control the powerful unions or guarantee a certain group of qualified minority people. If a fine is imposed on the contractor, he will blithly add it into his total fee just raising
.ey 1S in a critical position and it doesn't need to take on this added 'burden when it has the potential to do the country even a greater service.
Thousands of children, black and white, rich and poor, all over the nation, are
· suffering the affects _ of stagnant and mediocre teachers. Lesley can help infinitely if it is given this vital chance to grow. Should Lesley not meet the requirements for re-accreditation -it would indeed. be a tragedy . because the need for creative and innovative teachers · is acute.
I would appreciate your response.

Zero Population_ Growth Speaker at Lesley Sensitivity Training Week-end · By Jeryl V. Proce
Doctor Schoener, a research ·scientist at Harvard University, representing a Zero Population Growth Organization, spoke to a group of Lesley students in White Hall Lounge on Tuesday, November 16.
Ben Blumenberg introduced the speaker , and she began, starting her qualifications as a scientist and speaker, by talking about what should be cited as the primary problems in the reproduction rate and food supply in relationship to one another. Using bacteria and fruitfljes as examples, she showed that there has been an increase in reproduction
There Is A Draft Escape
Any man who is now deferred, and who would be in the lottery selection pool for induction if he were not deferred, now has a method to take advantage of his high lottery number and use it to esca ,pe the draft now.
Under an advisory memorandum sent by the National Selective Service Director Curtis Tarr to all local draft boards recently, such men may voluntarily relinquish their deferments and enter the l·A pool. Prior to this time this matter had 'been open - to debate, - and draft boards were supposed to maintain an registrants in their deferments as long as they continued to qualify for them.
System Spokesman are quite confident that no registrant with a lottery number higher than 195 will be called this year, unless there is a declaration of war or a national em~rgency which . requires massive mobilization. At the end of the year, those men whose numbers have not been reached by their local boards and who are classified l·A, l-A-0, or 1-0 are moved to a second priority pool. Men have not been called from this second priority pool or its equivilent under the old system since the Korean War.
·Registrants with high numbers who wish to take advantage of this opportunity to take the draft off their backs may write a brief letter to their draft board asking to ·be reclassified 1-A im -mediately. Any registrant who does so is taking a slight chan ce th at the system might suddenly decide that it needs many more men than it is presently planning to take, and should think carefully about this possibility , however slight. This rule of course only effects men who turned 19 or older during last year.

Because of this rapid rate of increase and the inability to create equilibrium with environment, human beings will either be depriv ed of food and e1'vironment or will cease to exist.

By Mary Lally In the mansion owned by
the Methodist church, situated on lush green acres of '·Rolling Ridges" in North Andover, Mass., our "sensitivity" developed. The surroundings alone lent a free spirit to the group, which consisted of 19 people, including two competent 'trainers'. Our first impression on arrival was anxiety and cager anticipation for 'something' to happen. The jaunt
from Lesley in Dr. Oliver's little bus has given us time to worry a little, wonder a lot, and hope for the very best week-end, despite a steady downpour. On e:,;;ploring the house, certain "Agatha Christie novels" came to mind arousing our curiosity. Mostly girls from Lesley comprised the group, with a few interested B.C. participants.
"At the present time, :n different counrties, the rat e of increase has b~en 1.0 '/,, and 4.0 %, and the United States has the rate of increase of 1.0%, meaning population will double in 70 years ." Adding that "in order to keep up the kind of standard of living we now have . . . everything will have to be doubled in this short period." Tho se countries that will have to double their standards are for the most part underdevelop 2d. It would be highly inconcei veable if they would be able to do this. She feels that the "population problems cou ld be solved very easily by simply having no more than two children for each couple .. . you would replace yours elf and your husband in our generation time "not including any children you may want to adopt.

In a large, comfortable living room, ten people encountered each other, seated rather stiffly in chains, not knowing exactly what to say to each other. However, as time passed, each person in the room spoke about themselves and their backgrounds emerged. Saturday was devoted to becoming better acquainted with each other and developing "human -awareness;" e.g., how one person depends upon another, your participation in a discussion group, and, merely understanding t.,e desires and needs of some other person. Every person was given ample opportunity to confide problems, worries, hopes, or just chat. Led by two marvelous t r a i n e r s, there were no uncomfortable ·barriers and the initial uneasiness amidst the group had nearly evaporated by Sunday , morning. Relationships had been formed -which would never be disrupted and the value of the thoughts exchanged each m e m b e r would leave a lasting impression. The only conclusion to be drawn is the fact that people are only human; have a fear of loneliness, love for aceptance, and need for love. To specifically define a "Sensitivity Week-end" is impos· s1ble however, the experience was · memorable and -so very worthwhile.

The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the idea of Self Governance for upp 2r classmen dorms. There were t,wo factors involved befor e starting to discu ~s the pr oposals for Self Governance. One of these wa s whether 0r
not to set a date to put all the proposals in effect, or to put them into e ffect retroactively. The other factor was
how to deal with them; having the representatives from each house present at the time of their discussion. The majority opinion felt that a representative should be pr esent, to answer any question s on their proposals.
It was sug gested th a t th er e be a deadline for all the pro posals . This was accepted by the memb ers present. The final date for proposals is l\fonday , November 30.

but one of the major ones is the caJibon monoxide exhaust from cars.
Recently the· Ford Motor · Company designed an electric car that would eliminate the problem of carbon monoxide exhaust.
The American public owns approximately 1. 5 cars per family; that in itself is a lot of exhaust adding to the pollution . The fact that most of the other pollution problems are intensified, causes one to leave the cities or go and suffer the consequences.
Some of the consequences are: a. inhaling the same amount
of tar and nicotine as if you'd smoked an entire pack of cigarettes
'b. tearing and red eyes, for sometime after one leaves the city
c. feeling nauseous d. leaving with an overall
feeling of disgust and depression. "Breath deep while you
sleep" - because it's prob ably the only air you"ll breath . that isn't unsafe for human habitation .

The latest committee report outlines more conclusive steps to be taken than those cited by Mayor Kevin H. White when he originated the idea in December, 1968. Then the program's goals w2re phrased as questions ; now they are in the form of resolute, positive objectives.
"We now prefer to view institutions' contributions lo Boston as helping to meet community needs rather than as efforts to avoid paying taxes or money to the city," said Gibson. "Our objectives suggest reciprocity between institutions and the city ."
Conse nsus of the committee members is to give priority to property and fiscal issues. The committee is forming task forces fol" these and other specific areas of operations such as stu dent volunteer programs, police and law enforcement, small colleges, housing and transit (including parking),
·other tax-exempt institutions protest-movements, business and industry, and environmental issues.
In the area of fiscal matters, MCUU currently is cooperating with the BRA (Boston Redevelopment Au-

Analogy of -Life By Patty Cole
Isn't it sadly beautiful how watching your fellow dropthe rain encourages such lets dri:bble past you, slithsympathy? Since Boston ering into oblivion, you gaze seems to have such a pen-chant f(?r rainfall, I've resigned myself to the unalterable fact of precipitation. Unfortunately, rain makes me thoughtful and reflective -something I try not to become too often.
With every raindrop I ponder so many questions. Do you ever wonder what it would feel like to be one tiny drop of wetness and land on a window? Then imagine, if you will, as you're sitting upon the pane of glass and
thority) in a survey of taxexempt educational institu tions' property projections over the next ten years. MOUU also is following close ly a cost-benefit analysis of tax-exempt-,property in ut·ban areas throughout the state currently being undertaken by the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation . These findings will have implicatons for university/city relationships in Boston.
_ The committee has sponsore d and funded the Program Read iness Tutor Progra m, now in-its second year, a data bank for classification of available resources and facilities of institutions and the city; and the 1969 study of college student housing patterns in Boston, MCUU has proposed specific modifications in the city's new preferential sticker parking program.
Boston School Superintendent William Orhenberger recently appointed Miss Marion Faehy as associate for staff training and development , and one of her principal assignments will ,be a liaison between Boston schools and the educational institutions.
MOUU will work closely with Miss Faehy as she develops her tasks, which include planning and coordinating preservice and inservice programs for teachers and administrators, coordinating teaching internships to avoid duplication of programs, and expanding research programs for the schools and the institutions.
heavenward only to see an other raindrop about to ' re-place you on that window. You jiggle and slide a little t~ try to avoid being pushed into endless nothingness, but to no avail. Here comes that other drop, skipping over foe glass like a shuffleboard disc, running into you with a BAM! You feel yourself un ·controllably gliding over the glass to the edge. As you slipover the rim you meet some other raindrops, who , not unlike you, h&ve been replaced on that big window of life and you wave and shout greetings. Farther you all drop until you touch gro und and sink blissfully into t.be ~ earth Then you think of the anxiety o1
the drop that replaced you, and the mischievous smi1., of vengence spreads slowly over your face. And you nestle deeper into the bosom of Mother Earth.

our world is Dri ve Small -think seriously of buying a smaller car; one that js equipped with a polu tion control device. Use leadfree gasoline. Sixty percent of urban air pollution comes from cars.
The U.S. Senate looks as if it means to stop the killing by air pollution once and for all. If the bill is endorsed unanimously on November
-22 and becomes a la:w, it could stop the aerial chemical and biological warfare American industry wages on the civilian population. That remains a pretty big "if." , The provisions of the legislature calling for an end to auto pollution by 1975 raised the greatest outcries from industry . Since the automobile is responsible for 60% of all air pollution and up to 90%in some urban areas, its, control is vital to any effort to clean up the air. The aut,) industry claims the bill's terms are too strict and connot be met.
