Close to 200 s tudents met in the L aFortune Ballroom last night to discuss yes te rday’s d em ons tra t ion against recruiters from Dow Chemical C om pany and the Central Intelligence Agency and to plan to d a y ’s action.

Rocap com m ents on controversial leafletby Larry Pino

Jim Rocap, head o f S tuden ts A g a in s t Racism, com m en ted y es terday o n the first issue o f In c ite , w hich was d is tr ibu ted to N o t r e Dam e students . The leaflet was designed to draw a c o m p a r i s o n b e t w e e n t h e A m e r i c a n R e v o l u t i o n , con tem p o ra ry America, and the b lack m an in the American s o c i e t y . I n p o i n t i n g o u t ob jec t ions by students , R ocap stated tha t presen ta t ion o f the material in th e issue was inadept; however, the issues were valid. T he s ta tem en t , “ Y our Senate B u d g e t a r y A l l o w a n c e A t W o rk !” , was considered by m an y to be an im m atu re p oke at the func t ion ing o f the Senate. R ocap suggested tha t it is only due to th e “ curious lack of h u m o r” o n the cam pus this year th a t such a co m m en t was found ob jec t ionab le . He con tinued , “ We have to be able to sit back and laugh at ourselves."

Rocap aff irm ed th a t such an analogy showed an absence o f respect for h u m an life, and was therefore in to lerable . In short , he found the leaflet a lienated a n u m b e r of

Apollo 12 craft lands on target, on timeSPACE C EN T ER , H ouston

(U PI)—T w o American as tronau ts steered the ir spaceship Intrepid to an amazing, p in-point landing among the gaping craters o f the m o o n early to d ay to begin m an ’s first true exp lo ra tion o f an alien world.

“ There it is, there it is...son o f a gun...right d ow n th e middle o f th e road. I can’t believe it. Fan- astic,” exclaimed spaceship com­m ander Charles “ Pe te” Conrad w hen his Apollo 12 landing site o n the lunar O cean o f S torms came in sight.

T o u c h d o w n came at 1:55 a.m. EST, jus t as the sun was rising over the to r tu red brownish gray surface o f th e m oon.

A ccom panying Conrad on the hazardous jo u rn e y was space rookie Alan L. Bean, making his first fl ight in to space. A third a s tronau t, R ichard F. G ordon k ep t the com m and ship Yankee Clipper in a 68 mile high lunar o rb i t while they landed.

T he Apollo 12 explorers will spend 32 hours on the lunar surface, 10 m ore th a n Neil A. A rm strong and Edwin E. Aldrin, the m en w ho first reached the m o on last Ju ly . Conrad and

Bean will ga ther ab o u t 100 p ou nd s o f soil samples and set up a nuclear po w ered scientific base.

A lthough the as tronau ts were som etim es lyrical in describing their arrival at m o on , their first words were a f te r th e Intrepid landed were all business.

“ C o n t a c t l i g h t . . . D r o p . . . p ro be ,” Bean said.

Conrad and Bean flew to a landing th a t g round controllers said appeared to be within 1,120 feet o f the Surveyor 3 space­craft, a ro bo t camera ship which to u ch ed d ow n on the m o o n in 1967. It was well w ith in the bull’s eye target.

T hey will rem ain in th e 23 fo o t high In trepid un ti l 6 :09 a.m. w hen th ey were scheduled to make the first o f tw o separate spacewalks th a t could to ta l as m uch as eight hours. A pinpoin t landing was one o f the key objectives o f the Apollo 12 mis­sion, and Conrad and Bean pio­neered th e techniques involved in such descents. Such landings will be necessary in o rder to get the in form ation th a t scientists w ant from fu tu re missions in the rugged lunar highlands.

The Apollo 12 landing site was o n the western side o f the m o o n ’s visible face in th e Ocean o f Storms, 9 54 miles west o f the Sea o f Tranquil li ty where Apollo 11 landed.

The site was be tw een two unnam ed craters. In o ne o f the pits rests the now dead Surveyor spacecraft tha t landed on the m o o n April 20, 1967, and flash­ed 6,315 television pictures back to earth.

Conrad and Bean hope to be able to walk to the Surveyor and bring parts o f it back to earth to de term ine how it has weathered its long stay on the m oon.

“ H ey, H ouston , In t rep id ,” Conrad called several minutes after touchd ow n .

“ I th ink I did som ething I said I’d never do . I believe I shut tha t beau ty o f f in the air before to u c h d o w n .”

He referred to shu tt ing o f f th e descent engine.

“ Shame o n y o u ,” replied G er­ald Carr, the capsule com m u n i­cator.

In trep id apparen tly landed with enough fuel fo r at least an o the r 50 seconds o f flight. Apollo 1 1’s pilots had to dodge a cratar and touch ed d o w n with 40 seconds o f fuel left.

Jan e Conrad yelled “ y ipp ee .” An elated Sue Bean chortled ,

“ We did it again” and a curious? Barbara G o rd o n asked “ I w on­der how close to the Surveyor they a re .”

Mrs. C o n rad , the wife o f Apollo 12 com m an der Charles “P e te " C onrad , w atched to u c h ­d ow n in her b edroom with her fou r sons and th en ju m p ed on the bed in uncontro llab le jub i la ­t ion at touchd ow n .

Recent Agnew speech criticized by W N D Uby T.C. Treanor

WNDU Sta t ion Manager W.T. Hamilton yesterday denounced vice president Spiro T.

The head o f the University ow ned and opera ted network said in an interview tha t , “ we feel tha t the secone highest man in the governm ent has added a threa tening note; especially since ne tw orks are licensed by the Federal G overnm ent . We think tha t the vice pres iden t’s a ttack

T h e a u t h o r i t i e s o f the University o f N otre Dame must unders tand tha t the fundam enta l moral and political issues o f ou r t i m e wi l l c o n t i n u a l l y be presented o n this cam pus so long as t h e U n iv e r s i ty recruits s tuden ts and em ploys personnel who take seriously the ideals to w h i c h t h e U n i v e r s i t y is dedicated. The events o f the last tw enty-four hours present these f u n d a m e n t a l issues in an inescapable way. Accordingly, we would like to make the following points:

1) We deplore this university’s subservience to the political and econom ic system represented by

th e Dow Chemical C orpora t ion and th e Central Intell igence Agency. We contend tha t this subservience is the central po in t at issue in the dem onstra tions .

Political grou p to be init iated

A political theory s tudy group was formed recently at N otre Dame. The new group was o r­ganized to fight “ a growing wave of irrationality and anti-intellec- tualism,” and “ to p rom o te the tradit ional goal of educat ion , the development o f the free m an.”

The Orestes A. Brownson So­ciety, as the group is called, has become affiliated with the In te r­collegiate Studies Ins ti tu te (ISI), which is a national organization o f cam pus societies.

Weekly meetings and periodic lectures and films are planned th rou gh ou t the year. The group is expecting a lecture within a few weeks from Dr. S tephan Tonsor, a noted political scien­tist and political philosopher.

No violence todayYesterday a group of people used their bodies to prevent others from being interviewed

by the CIA and Dow Chemical. Today, these same people will most likely again block that doorway.

The intentions o f these people are quite clear to us. They plan to actively show their non-violent resistence to a system they no longer believe in. We have no doubt that they fully realize the consequences o f their actions and are willing to accept them.

It is, therefore, extremely im portant that the members of this comm unity honor their decision by not interfering in the activities that take place today. If the police should enter the campus today, it will be to enforce a court injunction that several people are violating. Anyone who obstructs the enforcem ent of this court order must fully realize their actions and have made the same moral com m itm ent as the others.

On the other end o f the spectrum, it is necessary for those who disagree with the views or actions o f the dem onstrators to realize that the m atter is now in the hands o f the civil authorities and should be left there. Anyone who takes the law into his own hands is also in contem pt o f the law and should suffer the same consequences for breaking that law.

What this campus does not need is a mob scene. If and when, the police enter the Adm inistration building today, everyone m ust realize that they represent the law of this country. We are not playing games; the whole issue has now moved outside of the University structure. We are dealing with a higher law with higher power and our responsibilities are now real responsibilities.

This is no time for emotions to take over, or for anyone to jum p on a bandwagon. In order to keep peace, each o f us has a role to play; the people in that doorway must live up to the responsibility o f their com m itm ent, as must the police live up to theirs. The rest m ust honor those commitments.

Administrative errorsThe first test o f the fifteen m inute m editation cease and desist rule has occurred. The

situation remains to be resolved but before it becomes further clouded a few o f the mistakes already made need to be comm ented on.

Although the policy might be effective in some sense as a deterent to protestors it was proven yesterday that its technical aspects are not totally workable. Primarily this was displayed in the actions o f some adm inistrators who did not completely understand their roles in the entire process.

The ultim ate responsibility for determining whether a dem onstration is disruptive rests with the Dean o f Students Father Riehle. He exercised his role quite prudently for the most part, consulting student leaders before invoking the policy in the hope that they would be able to convince the dem onstrators to leave the building. When it became obvious that the group o f about ten would not leave positions in front of the door he gave them 15 m inutes to clear a path.

From that point on, however, the situation began to deteriorate. 15 m inutes later Father Riehle came back to collect IDs. He immediately began to take them from the students who were blocking the door, the only ones who were participating in the “ disruptive” dem onstration. Somewhere Arthur Pears, Director of Security, got the idea that he was supposed to start collecting IDs too. He began indiscriminately taking cards from everyone in the area-studen ts who weren’t participating in the dem onstration, and members o f student government and o f the campus news media who were there in official capacities. Even though it was announced last night, that although their ID had been taken they were not suspended the incident points ou t the lack o f understanding of the various roles that adm inistration officials are to play and the lack of foresight and com m on sense on the part o f Mr. Pears.

Police were not used to break up the dem onstration yesterday but they were still on campus. The amazing fact is that they were on campus w ithout the knowledge o f anyone in the adm inistration. Apparently Father Riehle had notified South Bend Sheriff Elmer Sokol earlier in the day that the university might need some assistance. This is standard procedure according to the Dean o f Students. Sokol deputized some South Bend police and game them instructions to get prepared in case anything happened. His men however, interpreted his statem ent as an order to come out to campus and wait around. They did just that and almost precipitated a crisis.

In the future we feel that the lines of comm unication must be more open to prevent the unauthorized and undesired presence o f police on campus. Father Riehle is to blame for not being totally in control o f the situation. Sokol is to blame for making a statem ent to his men which almost resulted in unwanted confrontation between police and students.

The police who did come to campus were equipped with night sticks, helmets and everything else necessary for a riot. If the police are to come to campus to assist in removing people who are disrupting the normal operations then they must come with the a ttitude o f resolving the situation peacefully and not o f provoking a confrontation.

The entire day proves the need for the SEC to hasten its examination o f Father Hesburgh’s policy and provide amendm ents to some of the clauses that are unworkable or are misapplied. While they are at it the SEC should strive to finish their investigation of the placement bureau in order to answer some questions that the com m unity is raising about its policies.

If there is one thing tha t N otre Dame s tud en ts have a lot of, it is paper. If i t ’s n o t election campaign material, or radical propaganda against GE, Dow Chemical, m othe rh oo d , and the world in general , then i t ’s something else. But the S tuden ts Against Racism have o u td o n e all previous a ttem p ts to harass people with such material, by sending to each roo m a s ta tem en t ot considerably less value than the ink and paper expended on it.

The name o f the sheet is “ Inci te!” (no tice th a t dynam ic exclamation p o i n t - i t ’s great). That title may evoke a natural association for anyone who lives in ou r time, since for most people today the first association would be, I th in k , “ to incite a r io t” . D on ’t let tha t fool you th o u g h - i t may have all sorts o f o ther meanings and I’m sure tha t those noble young hum anitar ian liberals would no t ever consciously suggest that .

The bulk o f the leaflet is a series o f comparisons betw een the American revolution, the fight o f the V ietnamese National Libera­tion F ro n t , and the black pow er m ovem ent. I t ’s straight o u t o f Dudley Do-Right and the N orthw est Mounties. First, l e t ’s see the scene (“ England 1776 = America 1969 = White America 1969” ) for this fr ightening confron ta t ion o f good and evil. T hen , en ter stage right the villain, Snidely Whiplash, twirling his m ous tache and u ttering repressed chuckles o f malicious glee as he goes abou t his dastardly deed: you guessed it - O l’ King George, Tricky Dick, and (repeat performance, I guess) T ricky Dick. T o the moral exalta tion of all, en ter stage left the hero , glowing with Mr. Clean-ness and bound on frustrating the evil machinations o f Whiplash: George Washington, Ho Chi Minh, and Eldridge Cleaver.

The leaflet continues this nonsense for a while, w ith such comparisons as “ Tories=South Vietnam=Uncle T o m s” and “ shooting redcoats in the back=Vietcong a troc ity=Panthers shooting pigs” . The S tudents Against Racism must have spent a good p a r t o f their time and budget searching over hill and dale, scouring th e academic com m unit ies o f the world, seeking, seeking, seeking for som eone w ho knew so appallingly little history.

When was the last time you read a book (by anyone!) w hich spoke o f “ shooting redcoats in the back ” as an im po rtan t , concerted American mili tary tactic in the Revolution? (O f course to non-racists tha t is merely p ro o f o f the complete fallaciousness o f all h is tory books w rit ten prior to their moral insight). It to ok until the tw entie th cen tury for man to perfect ra t ionalizations for the use of organized, mass a troc ity , especially by to ta li tar ian fascism and comm unism. And can you imagine a meeting o f these three comrades-in-arms: Washington, Uncle Ho, and Cleaver! Washington, the backbone o f staid, relatively conservative S outhern society , and Uncle Ho, the self-proclaimed social and political revolutionary? Washington and Cleaver, the Fathers o f their “ coun tr ies” ? C ’m on guys, have a heart.

Not satisfied with this exposure o f their deplorable inability to analyze historical and social si tuations, the S tuden ts Against Racism provide for ou r continuing edification one o f the most b latant bloopers in the his tory o f leaflet journalism. The p rob lem is this: when the au thors looked around for a q u o ta t io n o r tw o to finish their absurdity , they forget tha t they were writing for the S tuden ts

^Against Racism. The results were beautiful to behold: “ There can be no integration until whites are the spiritual and political equals of blacks, and until blacks are economically equal to w hites” and “ whites in his tory have been so concerned with p ro pe r ty tha t they have neglected to look at the sickness o f their soul” .

Aside from the a trocious grammar, the s ta tem en ts have a basic problem which is hard to get a round: th ey are clearly racist in character.

Yech. But the final tou ch is the best: a sign in the u pper hand , right corner says “ y ou r s tuden t budgetary allowance at w o rk ” . Y ’see, the jok e is on all y o u who th ink th a t this is trash, because •through y ou r s tud en t senators you gave $1000 to this bunch . But for all white liberals who are so guilt-ridden th a t y o u believe this, i t ’s great.

Pan, Hook, andby David Allen Edmonds

I wish I were a kid again, for only children appreciate fantasy. And fantasy is what the ND/SMC Marionette T h e a te r’s p roduc t ion o f Peter Pan was all about.

Fou r sellout crowds over this last weekend were treated to an hour o f pure fun. Peter Pan was a bright, lively show that simply captivated the m any children in the audience. I t ’s action and beautiful costum es were real enough to literally glue the a tten t io n o f 300 children to the stage. This em pathy between the audi­ence and their heroes grew into a tension tha t was released during the scene-chan- ges, and then poured into an actual partic ipation in the show. Pan’s appear­

ance at the climax was greeted with applause tha t changed to jo y o u s cheers as he out-duelled the villian, Capt. Hook.

And th a t ’s what C hildren’s T hea te r is all a b o u t - th e kids’ partic ipation in the perform ance, and their happy , gleaming eyes as they actually met the puppets in the lobby after the play.

I am a poor judge o f this dram atic form, fo r I am an adult . I could see the puppets banging into each o ther , getting tangled up and being dropped . I knew that the blocking was bad and the singing was terrible. I could see the strings.

But the kids co u ldn ’t and their jo y was real. T hey believed what they saw, and I hope tha t if they have to grow up, they never forget.

by Mark David Jones

What is the w orld ’s heaviest substance? You might answer by saying lead or some o th e r element is the densest material going when in all ac tua li ty , it is the Led Zeppelin. Picture if you will a haunting voice straight from Poe, an excellent and unpred ic tab le lead guitar, a thunder ing pure ear th bass, and th e whole m ixture clo thed by tight percussion and y o u have a fair approx im at ion o f the Zeppelin. Even the album cover gets in the spirit of things as it opens to reveal some fantastic Cecil B. DeMille version o f a solid magnesium-alloy dirgible.

Listening to th e record , I was most impressed by the Zeppelin ’s con tinued solidarity, the variety o f music offered, and ability to keep moving musically w itho u t doubling back to retrieve old sounds. The group features tw o genuine super-stars in R obert Plant - vocals and J i m m y P a g e - lead guitar. Both d e m o n s t r a t e d t h e i r a b i l i t y a n d resourcefulness in the first a lbum and the second is a con tinua tion . However, Led Zeppelin II gives th e o th e r tw o mem bers o f the band the chance to dem ons tra te their ab i l i ty , which in b o th cases is considerable.

The album is consistently surprising overcoming a difficulty which seems to b e the prime downfall o f groups specializing in this typ e o f music. All the num bers are solid bu t three particular cuts stand o u t in my mind. The first is T h e L e m o n S o n g , in w h ic h a medium-hard opener sudden ly undergoes a tim e change and a Spirit-type lead guitar leaps ou t to gradually subside to allow a bass ta to o to backdrop P lan t’s voice. The lead slips slowly back in to com plem ent the vocal and then assumes a very tight, restrained solo. Again come

the time change and the n u m b er hurries tow ard its ending.

The second cu t is th e best . It is entitled T h a n k Y o u a n d o p e n s with a reverberating acoustic gu itar which leads the o the r in s trum en ts gently to the voice, while the in s trum en ts and vocal ascend to the climax o f the electric lead. Here P lan t’s voice harshens, increasing the in tensity o f the m ood and guitar and organ create a lace backing to his words. Suddenly , the organ is left alone and lays d ow n a tink ly melody on top o f massive monolith ic chords.

The th ird cu t deserving special mention is the Z eppe lin ’s encore num ber . Shut yo u r eyes and imagine tha t the Zeppelin has ju s t finished their set. An applauding crow d brings the band filing back to the stage and hush falls over the crowd. You expect the most frenzied song o f the night bu t Plant begins with a powerful harp solo on a subdued background. He accom panies this w ith a strange muffled, gutteral voice and unexp ec ted ly , WHAM! Page’s snake-like guitar winds ou t for a resounding orgasm, then ebbs back to leave Plant alone with his harp and voice.

The whole impression o f this a lbum is o f tight, solid music in terspaced with the freakiness o f P lan t’s vocals and Page’s tricks on lead. T here is some quest ion in my mind to how m u ch o f Page’s experim enting w ith guitar is real music. I feel th a t Whole L o tta L ove is sacrificed to Page’s sound effects in i t ’s middle which spoils the co n tin u i ty o f the song However, fo r the m ost part , his efforts are legitimate as he has p ioneered several new electric sounds th a t are real and beautiful.

I th ink th a t Zeppelin II has proven that their first was no fluke and establishes the group as one o f the select few who occupy the pinnacle o f rock-blues today.

N o tr e D a m e ’s g r a d u a te teach ing assistants. T o d a y ’s article is on th e wage battle: fa c u lty opinion.

by James Walton

A wall o f cant still separates the graduate teaching assistant from one o f freedo m ’s elem entary ben e f i ts -pay m en t o f services rendered. His services, through an extraordinary freedom on his em ploy­er’s part, are in terpre ted as services re­ceived, as teacher’s training. And Notre Dame is lavish with this type o f training, dealing ou t twice as m uch o f it as stingy universities like Cornell , S tanford , and Northwestern. The TA in English at Notre Dame gets to teach tw o courses for the price o f one - to correct freshman themes in sets o f fifty instead o f twenty- five -w hile enrolled in tw o o r three graduate courses where, under the nearly paralyzing pressures imposed by the system, he pursues the o th e r goal o f Ph.D. training - com petence in his sub­ject.

Paym ent, o f course, is the o ther m atte r in which the TA is subjected to academic freedoms. His stipend, it appears, is t r e a t­ed as an award (a lthough the federal governm ent, no t buying this in te rp re ta ­tion, taxes it). One can’t expect to be paid for services received, nor can he require o f an award that it be increased periodically to accom odate the rising cost o f living.

I t’s no news tha t everything has been going up for a long time: wages, groceries, construction - and tha t tu i t ion fee which the freshman pays in order to help “ tra in” his teacher. But no t the TA stipend, which has remained at $2100 for four years.

It might be argued tha t the teachingassis- tant actually makes $3770 , since the putative value o f his tu i tion is $ 1670 (the price o f four courses, which the TA hasn’t time to take). He differs, however, from the o th e r bans vivants in the $3700 bracket in tha t he never sees tha t 44% of his income. It has already been exchanged for him at the com pany store, where prices are set by his employer.

Ph.D. training is indeed a curious com m odity . It has a dollar value which is

appparen tly never paid, only “ aw arded” (i.e., worked for). And the seller can claim to be spending w hatever he claims the item is worth . Yet no one, 1 th ink , would argue that the case value assigned to graduate tu i tion is fraudulent, and this brings us to the roo t o f the T A ’s mis­fortune . It is a com m onplace tha t the fee paid by an undergraduate does no t meet the cost o f his education. The university hopes tha t alumni con tr ibu tions, m atch ­ing grants, and o th e r revenues will make up the difference. The graduate s tudent represents ano th e r means o f breaking even: he can be used as cheap labor. The English TA carries tw o-thirds o f an average, full-time teaching load for one- fifth to one-seventh o f a full-time salary. Like his teachers, he might have a family, lack savings, be ill-suited to construction work and impressively gifted in his field. (That last gives him a right to be here: if the profession were still reserved for g en tlem en’s sons, all undergraduate class­es would have to be held in th e stadium.) If so, he has litt le chance o f developing his gift in g raduate school, where he is over-extended in his duties and drained by financial anxiety .

Ironically, the university’s niggardly policy tow ard T A ’s, o r simply its lack of funds (e i ther o f which gives the lie to its pretensions to greatness), sets the in ter­ests o f the graduate s tudent against those o f the graduate faculty. A faculty m em ­b e r r e q u i r e s freedom from heavy schedules, oversized classes, and (in most instances) freshman teaching if he is to devote himself adequately to tha t ad­vanced study which qualifies him as a professor at a Ph.D.-granting ins ti tu tion . At N otre Dame he soon learns th a t the price o f this f reedom is the exploita tion o f his students.

To achieve respectability in its dealings with graduate assistants in English, Notre Dame must pay $700 more for the teaching o f one class than it now pays for two. The stipend for tw o classes should be $3600 , and subject to periodic increas­es to meet rising costs. Then the app ren ­tice professor will be able to choose, according to his circumstances, between more m oney and less teaching - a choice rendered impossible by the present w o rk ­house rates.

Evidently this “ individual” feels tha t he is personally better than the whole conglom eration o f those who have given, are giving, o r will give their lives for the ideals o f the United States represented by its Star-Spangled banner. Evidently this “ indivi­dua l” has no respect for the ideals which o thers hold. Cer­tainly this “ individual” to o has some sym bol tha t represen ts his ideals.

$8.49 an hour?

Editor:In reference to the Ad in

T hu rsday ’s Observer, stating tha t graduate s tuden ts in econom ics are paid $8.49 an hour, I feel tha t an analysis o f this figure is necessary before the D epartm ent is flooded with applicants. The Professor who purchased the Ad, w hom formerly was though t to be a friend o f the graduate s tu ­dents , has made tw o vital mis­takes in his argum ent. The first m istake is the questionable assum ption on which the hourly wage is based. The second error is an error o f reasoning.

The wage rate appears to be based on the following: assis­tan ts work 12 hours a week, 37 weeks a year or 444 hours a year; the yearly incom e is $3770 and dividing these num bers he o b ta ins $8 .49 per hour. This seems to indicate tha t ou r Pro­fessor unders tands the basic principles o f Arithmetic , bu t u n ­fo r tuna te ly tha t is all this mani­pulation o f figures implies. The problem w ith the analysis is the assumptions. He bases his in­come on tw o sources - $2100 in st ipends and $1670 in tu ition . The questionable assum ption is the following; would the gra­duate s tuden ts in econom ics be willing to pay $1670 in tu i tion at Notre Dame? There arc many fine State schools with far lower tu itions, therefore 1 feel tha t if all the graduate s tudents were faced with the paym en t of this tu i t ion they would probably go elsewhere. Therefore I do not th ink it is legitimate to include

tu i t ion in the wage rate.Secondly I th ink it is r id icu­

lous to equa te the wage rate with a standard o f living, espec­ially in regards to graduate s tu ­dents . It is no t th e wage rate tha t is relevant, bu t more im por­tan t ly the net income. Most gra­duate s tuden ts have a net in­come o f abo u t $1800 for the school year. This is the sum tha t must pay the rent and buys groceries. My landlord probably could care less w hat my wage rate happens to be; a lthough if my landlord finds ou t tha t I am making $8.49 per h ou r he might increase m y ren t - he to o may no t unders tand the difference betw een an hourly wage and net income.

Editor:There are m any fam ous trad i­

tions th a t go along with the football season here at N otre Dame. U nfortuna te ly , tw o o f them are destined to “ pass” at the end o f this season. No longer will there be the rousing rallies in the old f ieldhouse, and no longer will there be the s t im ula t­ing teases by T o m Allen in the stadium.

During the past fou r years thousands o f fans have associat­ed “ When the Irish Backs Go Marching By” w ith the e n th u ­siasm tha t is suddenly generated in the s tuden t sections. Slowly, amidst th e admiring cheers o f his fellow students , th e man o f the h ou r arises and artisticly begins his interpretive act to the beat o f the music. In a run-away game even the players and coaches on the sidelines sneak a glance in the direction o f this “ greatest show on ea r th ” .

This easy going s tu den t star has no business manager and is no t even here on an athletic scholarship ( though m any have com m ented tha t he is w orth the price o f admission alone). His act is cut short week af ter week by the brevity o f the music, but this unassuming perform er has never been heard to u t te r a complaint . The weather, to o , has tried to dissuade this new hero o f the perform ing arts. Despite all this harassment, T om Allen has re tu rned week af te r week to the satisfaction o f his adoring fans.

This Saturday is T o m ’s last scheduled performance. T o show your appreciation for all he has done to fu r ther spirit at the games, we are asking th a t all s tudents applaud widly when the T om Allen Show goes on fo r the last time.

Social Commission sets Mardi Gras plansby Don Ruane

Centered around a general them e o f San Francisco, this year’s Mardi Gras is scheduled to run from February fif th to the ten th , according to Dave Dewan o f the S tud en t Union Social C o m m i s s i o n . A preliminary “ k ickoff p a r ty ” is tentatively scheduled for the weekend o f January ninth.

Dewan emphasized tha t the Mardi Gras is based on “ Chari­t y ” . “ Charity has made the Mar­di Gras successful and has k e p t it going for the last fifteen years. Without the m oney for charity , the whole idea o f the Mardi Gras falls th rough ,” said Dewan.

The Mardi Gras raffle can make over th irty thousand do l­lars if the s tudents support it and do their part com m ented

Chance seen for

Dewan. S tuden ts will get their raffle books during the first week o f December. In form ation on the raffle prizes will be re­leased after Thanksgiving. The Social Commission would like each s tudent to sell tw o books which would bring a m inim um o f thirty th ousand dollars in revenue.

Dewan said tha t the them e o f the Mardi Gras will cen te r around San Francisco. The Social C om ­mission is trying to hire a band for the Mardi Gras dance on February sixth th a t has “ charac­teristics o f the San Francisco sound” . Several groups were in­vestigated bu t were found to be “ substantially o u t o f ou r price range fo r the dance” com m ented Dewan. The them e o f the dance, which will be held in th e ACC

Concourse, will be “ Fillmore West.”

A ttem p ts were made to have the Jefferson Airplane or Cre­dence Clearwater Revival per­form in concert on the eighth, but neither g roup is booking for the winter. Dewan said th a t the surveys recently circulated in the dining halls have been tabu la ted . Among the to p requests and possibilities for the concert are Crosby, Stills and Nash, and Sly and the Family Stones. Members o f the Social Commission agreed tha t the concert should be held in the C onvocation C enter be­cause o f the success they have had there thus far. Dewan m en­tioned tha t no final co m m it t ­ments have been made and that the perform ance will be at 1:30 p.m.

T he carnival will have several

new features this year. One o f the innovations will be a single large bank with tw o or three w indows set aside for what Dewan calls “ larger transac­t io n ” . A larger bank will also help the crowd flow and will o pen each night till midnight. On the seventh it will be open all day and till 1 a.m. the next morning.

Dewan said tha t anyone in ter­ested in running a b o o th at the carnival m ust subm it a design for their b o o th before December first. Booths tha t are most ori­

ginal and tha t fit the theme will be selected by the carnival staff. Dewan offered the large number o f in terested groups and the special l im ita t ions o f Stepan C en te r as the reasons for the design contes t. “ Depending on the final f loor plan there will be from 22 to 24 boo ths ,” com­m ented Dewan. B ooth design will be divided into four cate­gories. Dewan listed the divisions as C h ina tow n , Haight-Ashbury, W aterfront and general San F rancisco them es such as “ Can­dlestick Park” .

fu tu re bowls by Ara and M o o s e

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. (UPI)Athletic Director Ed Moose

K r a u s e i n d i c a t e d yesterday N o t r e D a m e ’s n e w bow l p a r t i c i p a t i o n p o l i c y wi l l continue as long as the Fighting Irish rank among the co u n t ry ’s top college football teams.

The s ta tem en t by Krause at the weekly meeting o f The Indianapolis News’ D ow ntow n Q uarterback Club appeared to conflict with earlier repor ts from the Rev. Edum und P. Joyce, Notre Dam e’s executive vice president and chairman o f the faculty athletic board.

N o t r e D a m e a n n o u n c e d Monday it would meet e ither Texas or Arkansas in the C o tton Bowl New Year’s Day, ending a 45 year Irish ban on post season play. School officials said the major reason for the unexpected policy change was a need for m o ney to finance minority s tudent scholarship programs. Notre Dame stands to gain up to $3 00 ,0 00 from C o t to n Bowl participation.

Krause, substituting for Notre Dame Coach Ara Parseghian at the luncheon, said bowl play was s o m e t h i n g h e h a d b e e n campaigning for over the years.

“ I am delighted with the op p o r tu n i ty to participate in the C o t to n Bowl this year and perhaps o the r bowls in fu ture years,” Krause said. “ This is such a w onderful thing . . . and I think it will con tinue so long as N otre Dame has a chance to play a to p rated team ,” he said.

Earlier, F a th e r Joyce said the n e w bowl policy was not p erm anen t and it was entirely possible N otre Dame might readopt its no bowl decree next year, particularly if C o tto n Bowl partic ipation proved to o much o f a strain on the football players and the cam pus in general.

Parshegian, in his fifth year at Notre Dame said he has waited for 20 years o f college coaching to participate in a major bowl game. He also said tha t the door has now been open to bowl play for future Notre Dame teams.

“ A precedent has been set and if we have good ranking and receive bids we can go to a bowl game every year ,” he said. “ And what a trem en do us incentive this will be to the players.”

“ I d o n ’t intend to overwork the hoys,” Parsheghian added. “There will be no problem in keeping them mentally alert and em otional ly u p .”

TWA put a price on your head that even your parents

might agree to pay.W e're out to get you hom e for the

holidays. Fast.W hich is som ething that your parents

will probably enjoy too.Something else they’ll enjoy is our

fares for students. (Students, that is, who are between the ages of 12 and 21.) On a standby basis, you'll get 40% off regular coach fares.

W hich doesn ’t m ean you'll be flying second class or anything like that.

You still get all the g reat food and TWA features like movies and s tereo music* But it w on’t cost you like it does everyone else.

And TWA flies to nearly all the major cities in the U.S., plus we have a special youth fare to Hawaii.

With all that going for you, th e re ’s only one excuse for not going hom e for

the holidays.G etting your hair cut.

Pears confiscates press, student gov’t ID’s(con tinued fro m page 1)

m onstra tors; also tha t different people were blocking the door.

Fr. Riehle then informed the s tudents th a t their fif teen min­utes were up and tha t if they did no t move they would be a u to ­matically suspended. The s tu­dents refused, and Fr. Riehle then began to collect their Iden­tification cards.

Pears takes ID’sA rthur Pears began to confis­

cate ID cards from several p eo­ple a round the area, who had no thing to do with the blocking o f the door. Among those who had their cards confiscated were SBP Phil McKenna, SBVP Fred Dedrick, and Observer Publisher Don Holliday. Pears allegedly said “ T hat doesn ’t m a t te r .” When Holliday repeated his s ta tem ent Pears repor ted ly asked which paper. Holliday replied “ the O bserver.” Pears then sup­posedly said, “ T h a t d oesn’t m at­ter .” Holliday then handed over his ID card.

Phil McKenna then an n o u n ­ced tha t th e police were outside, behind th e adm inis tra t ion build­ing.

Police arriveThe police arrived in tw o pat­

rol cars along with a paddy wagon and emerged, arming themselves with r iot he lm ets and w ooden night sticks. They were met by St. Joseph C oun ty Sher­iff Elmer Sokol and an assistant. Sokol began to chew o u t the officers.

A pparently Sokol had given ins tructions for the policemen to wait by the S tadium until he decided to call them in. While the policemen huddled w ith the Sheriff, Tim MacCarry walked up to the group and a t tem p ted to talk to the police. An argu­ment ensued and MacCarry was arrested. Eyewitnesses and Mac­Carry dif fered over the circum­stances o f the arrest. MacCarry was taken to South Bend, bu t the charges were d rop ped and he was released later in the evening.

Sr. Malone opensT h e d e m o n s tra t io n began

about 1 p.m. with a talk by Sister Joanne Malone, a m em ber of the D C. 9. She denounced Dow for using napalm. “ The po in t is th a t Dow has refused to discuss this. T hey refuse to accept responsibility for the deaths they have caused.” Sister J o a n n e s a i d t h a t D o w c o m p l e t e l y c o n t r o l s 22

subsidiaries in foreign lands, including Argentina, Mexico, South Africa, Panama, Greece, Peru, Chile, and tha t the people in those countr ies have no say over where the m oney goes. She also claimed tha t Dow secretly opera ted th e R ocky Mountain Arsenal, though the Arsenal is supposed controlled by the Army. According to her, Dow is the chief m aker o f nuclear warheads.

Sister Joanne explained her presence at N.D. by saying that she had been here last May and was in terested in what happens here. She said tha t “ ND is one o f the Catholic campuses tha t is doing m ore than o thers to ally itself with corpora tions such as Dow and Grace Lines, which explo i t S ou th America.”

She questions financesShe claimed tha t ND receives

“ millions o f dollars from these c o r p o r a t i o n s . ” S h e a l s o quest ioned w ho really financed the university and what was the university’s p l a c e - “ to educate people o r to maintain the e x p l o i t a t i o n a n d m i l i ta ry repressions o f underdeveloped c o u n t r i e s . ”

“ I d o n ’t think an yo ne is an o u ts ider when th e issue is hum an life. I w ant to do something, even if i t ’s to help kids here. This is no t violent. The violence is in the offices here, like in F a t h e r H esburgh’s and the Placem ent Office where the decisions m ade are abou t who lives and who dies,” she said.

“Complicity on killing”Steve Moriarity, an a lum nus

o f N otre Dame, then spoke a b o u t “ o u r complicity in killing,” saying tha t it “ Can stop to d a y .” He asked tha t the u n i v e r s i t y ’s complicity with m urder s top now, and that the interviews “ be the last to d a y .” He said tha t his b ro th e r was f ly ing bom bing missions in Vietnam. “ I love him , bu t h e ’s a murderer. The time has come to say, we will s top i t .”

One o f the partic ipants then spoke on how the dem ons tra to rs had to be willing to look beyond t h e part icular case o f the interviews.

“ What we’ve got to do is much larger. We’ve got to turn the University around . This will get a couple o f us in jail o r in d ifficulty . The University can’t play on the liberalism o f those in

it. We have to be larger, we have to talk with those who d o n ’t unders tand what is going on today . We have to develop a cam pus consciousness. Liberal a rgum ents can’t tell against us,” he said.

Myth of free speechTim MacCarry then spoke on

the danger o f o p p o r tun ism in t h e dem o ns tra t ion and the danger o f creating the illusion that any solution would mean something. He spoke against the equation o f free speech to a business deal.

“ This has no th ing to do with free speech, it is no t relevant here. The m y th is tha t the University is the cen te r o f free speech. The idea o f a free university is maintained at the expense o f the f reedom o f the w orld .”

MacCarry said th a t if the Third World were asked about w hat to do, it would say to destroy the university. He called the university “ A functional d igestive tract fed by the fo undat ions and tax grants to shit ou t agents to keep the v i c i o u s b e a s t stalking the world .” MacCarry spoke in favor o f a revolution on the deepest levels o f society.

Task is monumentalTom Heinen spoke abou t the

danger o f an academic discussion o f ethics.

“The task is so m onu m en ta l tha t we must proceed on many fronts. We (Heinen is a draft resister) have no thing to lose, we a r e a l r e a d y c r im in a ls . .T h e longer you can avoid gett ing fed u p . . . t h a t ’s fine. But it is necessary for some people to s t a r t d e a l i n g with reality. T h e y ’re t u r n i n g u s i n t o psychological eun uch s .”

“ Racism is perhaps the most o b v i o u s m anifestation o f a sickness tha t perm eates this coun try . Perhaps tha t sickness c a n b e s t be explained as forgetting what it is to be free, forgetting what it is to be a man, forgetting tha t the value o f life transcends any econom ic or polical advantage,” said John Wilson o f S tuden ts Against Racism.

White privilege“ The University maintains the

white privilege, the symbols o f a sick system. This is no t denied o f free choice, since it denies no h uma n rights to ins ti tu tions tha t deny many people the right to

live. To disrupt is symbolic, it w on ’t s top exp lo i ta t ion and murder. As Joseph Heller in his p l a y showed, the inhum an ins ti tu tions are allowed to go on because they are ignored.”

Mr. Jam es King then spoke. He said tha t the interviewer did no t feel tha t he could speak to the assembled crow d since he w a s only a guest o f the University. F a th e r T h o rn to n of t h e P l a c e m e n t Office, he claimed, would have to give him permission to speak. King called i t typica l o f the Catholic American bureaucracy.

Thornton talksFather T h o rn to n then talked

to the interviewer who agreed to talk to representatives o f the p r o t e s t o r s . S i s t e r J o a n n e suggested tha t the interviewer was afraid to talk to the crowd as a whole, which received enthusiastic approval.

At this point , Joh n Girardot a tte m p te d to get into the office fo r an interview but had his way b locked by several o f the dem onstra tors . He gave up and walked away.

Bernie R yan then rtevealed tha t the interviews were being h e l d in the back o f the Placement Office and tha t there were tw o interviewers. One had been followed, while the o ther had slipped into the Placement Office. The dem ons ta to rs then blocked the main door.

Mignanelli blockedT om Mignanelli, a Senior, was

tem porarily blocked by the d em ons tra to rs from entering the placement office. He was trying to get in to learn the tim e o f the in terview he had with Ernst and E r n s t , an accounting firm. Mignanelli explained tha t as he t r i e d t o g o th r o u g h the dem ons tra to rs blocked the door, they asked him to state why he w a s t r y i n g t o e n te r the p lacem ent office. He refused and tried to push his way th rough . A scuffle b roke o u t , which was prom ptly broken up by SBVP Fred Dedrick. Mignanelli, after consulting wi th Dedrick, was allowed to pass.

T h e d e m o n s t r a t o r s then decided to rap abou t the tactics. T he leaders emphasized their desire to avoid antagonism of o th e r students. Bernie R yan said tha t moving the block to inside the office cou ldn’t eliminate the antagonism, and thus he advised keeping blockade at the main

door. It was po in ted o u t tha t F a th e r T h o rn to n preferred th a t the dem on s tra to rs block the main door. One unidentif ied leader advised tha t five o r six o f the bigger dem ons tra to rs move into the office and block only t h e d o o r i n t o t h e Dow interviewer.

Rule: blatant violationT he discussion a bo u t th e

p o s s ib i l i ty o f invoking the “ fif teen m inu te ru le” began. It was felt tha t the discussion should be centered ab ou t those people w ho in tended to violate th e rule. It was said to be in b la tan t violation o f the s tu d en t I manual, and offered litt le o r no recourse to any legislative body .

It was said tha t the goal o f the d e m o n s t r a t io n was to gain p u b l i c i t y . One unidentif ied speaker said tha t the “ great silent m ajo ri ty” had no political feelings, and followed any who happened to be in power. The speaker claimed th a t any adverse p u b l i c i t y f r o m t h e d em ons tra t ion might drive the great silent majority into the opposite camp. He said tha t he hoped tha t the dem ons tra t ion would wake up the people who h ad n ’t though t a b o u t Vietnam.

CIA man leavesA t t h i s point th e CIA

representative left the office and proceeded d ow n the hall in to an o the r office jus t inside the main door, followed by several o f t h e l e a d e r s o f t h e dem onstra t ion .

After more discussion and the blocking o f several s tuden ts from enter ing the offices, Fr. Riehle appeared and declared tha t the “ 15 m in u te” rule was in effect. Shortly afterw ards the Dow representative left and the dem ons tra t ion seemed to cool off. J oh n Barb claimed tha t he felt that the adm inis tra t ion and D o w w e r e s e e k i n g a con fro n ta t ion , since they had refused to hold the interviews o f f campus. Barb was heckled loudly and was followed by T om C'onnely, a V ie tnam veteran.

Connely repliesT om Connely spoke against

the dem on s tra t io n , and the blocking o f th e door. He said th a t they were “ no be t te r than those people w ho are taking the life o f a man. Y ou are taking a m an’s freedom to live when you kill him, and y o u ’re taking peop le ’s f reedom n ow .”

Injunction brought against protest, does not effect plans(co n tin u ed fro m page 1) i n d i v i d u a l l y a n d a s representatives o f all o thers acting in consort or association with them, D efendants . . .and all o t h e r p e r s o n s . . .are hereby restrained and enjoined until fu r ther o rder o f this C ourt from congregating and assembling in the Placement Office in the A dministration Building (Main Building) on the campus o f the University o f N otre Dame, or in any area near o r adjacent there to or in any corr idor, stairway, doorway o r en trance there to in such a m anner as to disrupt o r i n t e r f e r e w ith the normal funct ions conduc ted by the Placement Office and they are fu r ther restrained and enjoined f r o m b l o c k i n g , h in d e r in g , impeding o r in terfering with ingress, o r egress from said P l a c e m e n t Office o r areas a d j a c e n t th e re to and from

interfering with the faculty , a d m i n i s t r a t o r s , s t u d e n t s , employees, or o th e r guests o f the p laintiff rightfully in said P l a c e m e n t Office o r areas adjacent thereto.. .

S i s t e r J o a n n e M a l o n e , im properly refered to as Sister Jean Malone in the in junction , spoke ou t against Dow at last n ight’s meeting. (Sister Malone arfived on campus late Monday night to partic ipate in the dem ons tra t ion . She is a m em ber o f the “ DC-9” which entered the D o w C h e m i c a l O f f i c e in Washington on March 22, 1969, poured hum an blood on office walls and eq u ipm ent, threw files ou t the w indow , and then awaited arrest. Sister and eight cohorts are awaiting a February 3 trial to face a second degree b u r g l a r y c h a r g e and two des truc tion o f proper ty charges).

She said tha t she is no t jus t

asking tha t Dow stop making napalm; she also objects to o ther p l a n s f o r w e a p o n r y and explo i ta t ion o f Third World Countries.

Sister claimed tha t Dow is presently making materials for future U.S. wars in Peru, Chile, Argentina, and the Union of S outh Africa and that the com pany contro ls 100% of its su bs i d a r i e s in t w e n t y - t w o countries.

“ It is the policy o f Dow Chemical to exploit and to kill. T he com pany has no moral responsibility ,” she said.

Earlier in the meeting, SBP Phil McKenna explained the s ta tus o f the s tuden ts who surrendered their IDs yesterday in the A dministration Building.

“ A n y o n e ’s card taken by F a th e r Riehle is subject to either suspension or expulsion, but the ow ners o f the cars taken by

Ar t hur Pears are in no trouble unless there is some evidence t h a t these individuals were actually in front o f the d o o r ,” McKenna said.

M c K e n n a e x p la in e d that Riehle, after the fifteen minute “ cease and desist” period had expired, only collected the IDs o f s tudents who were barring entrance to the room in which Dow interviews were being held. (The CIA recruiter left the Administra tion Building before the fifteen mi nute warning was given).

“ But Pears started collecting everyone’s card,” McKenna said “ I jus t started talking with Pears

and he took my card ,” he continued.

“ Riehle said the University will take legal action against anyone who refused to tu rn in his card ,” he added. These persons will be regarded as o u t s i d e r s and therefore as trespassers.

Persons suspended or expelled a s a r e s u l t o f t o d a y ’s confiscation o f IDs will have five days to appeal the decision made on them , said McKenna. He also stated tha t those who fall into this category should con tac t him in order tha t legal defense can he obta ined for them .
