The Great Speckled Bird
One of the most fallacious myths which students are expected to twa- llow about Madison is the one which states that SGA is an effective rep resentative of the students and a valid spokesman for student opinion■ SGA is neither of these. It is an impotent, administration puppet that makes a mockery out of the democratic process.
Oh, SGA has all the trappings of a democracy—a constitution, divis- ion of powers, removal of officers, nominations, elections, etc. They have everything but the power to implement their decisions as the chart on page 2 shows. A "govern- ment", by definition possesses au- thority, and since SGA has none, the take the word "government" out of their title and call themselves, instead, Students for the Perpetu- ation of the Myth That Madison is a Free Society.
Madison is not a free society. Students have absolutely no control over the educational process which radically affects their lives. We are at the mercy of a tradition- bound faculty and an administration that cares more about keeping the local community happy than providing us with any semblance of a higher education. The administration and faculty are looking backward to a world more to their liking and try- ing to mold us in their,image. We are being trained to function in a society" that no longer exists. The SGA JS our only legal recourse and our only defense, but they have shirked their responsibilty.
Students know that the SGA has no power, and that they will not fight to get any. That is why there is tdich a lack of interest in vo- ting .n elections or working on committees."Students know their vot means nothing for Madison is not a democracy— (cont. on page 2)

WASHINGTON (UPI) —On September 30r
woman's crusader Betty Frledan, author of the best-selling "Femin- ine Mystique," blamed male archi- tects and urban planners for forci- ng womerr out of society into "sex- ual ghettoes" of loneliness, isol- ation and hostility.
"Their basic assumption," Mrs, Priedan told startled members of a Senate Subcommittee on Nutrition and Human Needs,, "Is that a woman's time is worth nothing, that she fulfills herself by doing chores for others that nobody in-the world would do for money ... ,
"All of their planning is based on the moronic concept that a woman's biggest thrill is making her kitchen sink and husband's shirts snow white. So they give her machines that could be oper- ated by Inmates of institutions for the feeble minded or robots and tell her she has a happy home."
The result, Mrs. Frledan said, is that women are sealed off from the world into city apartments and suburban dream houses- "planned by men to keep women and children out of sight" —where they become so alienated that their environment helps breed hostility and even violence.,
A crucial need,, she said, is for good and readily accesl.ble child care centers so women "who see no- body over three feet tall all day" can pursue their own lives.
"Numerous studies indicate there is an enormous physic .1 effect on women living in isolated sexual ghettoes, city or suburb," she said,
"We need a new set of standards for human life and dignity that will provide maximum freedom for self- development for both women and men,"

We believed that Tell It shoixld have raised the issue with the students while research into the legal and other aspects was underway. In- stead, we were told to wait until SGA was "ready" to raise the issue with'the administration. Further, we were told to raise no contro- versial issues vrlthout getting SGA's approval.
This is SGA's failure. We learn what SGA is doing, and much.of that work is constructive. But SGA gives this Information to the students once it is "cut and dried." Tell It could have been used to , mobilize student opinion around what SGA wanted to do. It's time to stop springing issues on stu- dents and the administration. It's time to mobilize student opin- ion for action,

....... the fixer ...... (•Mason cont.) ■ ■ ~ Together as another product of the Bramlitt-Russell consniracy-which, to s^imraarize is the croquet of all the peonle who have ever clayed with the Bramlitts or have been pro- duced by Leon Russell, ^hich means the latest Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, D&B On Tour, Leon Russell, and Dave Mason Ips. Looking at the credits on all these albums will show that 'the rhythm section of bassist Carl Radle and drummer Jim Eeltner and the entire D&B "friends" horn sec- tion on nearly every track.
Of course, nearly everyone knew Mason could write, Feelin' A-lright
~ mrrd Only You TAnow and I Know are axready clasoic status. T^hat Alone Together proves is that "H minutes of Mason'g guitar, vocals, and songs just isn't enough.
There really isn't any reason to sav that any song is better than any other on the album. About the only disappointment is that Mason didn'f include and un-Trafficed version of "Feelin' Alright".
I won't mention the multi-color- ed disc or the fold-out cover be- cause this record doenn't need any gimmicks to make itself known.

FACULTY WON'T HELP ■ Last summer, the FIXER provid-
ed faculty members a form which they could fill out and mail to us indicating their desire to receive the FIXER in 1970-71. The response was astonishing: absolutely no- thing! Such uniformity of thought in the faculty of an ostensibly free and open institution amazes
me'l am reasonably sure that, Mad- ison being as it is, a substantial proportion of the faculty actually believes that our staff consists of dedicated commies. Such crudely simplistic thought is not unknown, even among the mental luminaries of academe, I am equally certain that there are some timorous souls in the faculty who secretly agree with some of what we say, but fear being "associated" with our notor- ious rag. With the ghost of Joe McCarthy looming over us all, I
can hardly blame anyone for fears such as that.
Perhaps the largest group finds the FIXER distasteful, childish or simply uninteresting. That cannot be helped; taste, as I have been known to say in m.Y more profound moments, is a matter of taste.
Vv'hat puzzles me still, however, is that NOT ONE professor sought to make such a miniscule commit- ment as to ask to receive the FIX- ER. After all, theFIXER, throughout its short tenure, has tried to de- fend the rights of professors to (within reason) say what they wish;
do what they wish, and be what the^ are without fear of losing their jobs. A true professional deserves to be judged by professional cri- teria, and we have stood up for that principle.
Even as we were asserting the professors' rights, however, the response from the faculty was tru- ly underwhelming. It appears that the majority of professors at Mad- ison are just colorless enough or uncontroversial enough or careful enough not to NEED "academic free- dom." They never have to use their freedoms;1 they never do very much, they never say very much, and they aren't anything out of the ordi- nary anyway. So who cares?

Of course, nearly everyone knew Mason could write. Feelln' ilright -.mndOnly You ^now and "l""Know are axready classic status, '^hat Alone Together proves is that ^4 minutes of Mason'g guitar, vocals, and songs just isn't enough.
There really isn't any reason to sav that any song is better than any other on the album. About the only disappointment is that Mason didn't" include and un-Trafficed version of "Peelin' Alright".

Mr, Speaker, I regret the refu- sal of the U.S. Information Agen- cy to release- the results of a poll it commissioned in several countries to determine world reac- tion to the dispatch of American troops into Cambodia,
I had hoped that Mr, Frank Shakespeare, director of the USIA, would agree that the American peo- ple should know the results of this poll, which they paid for and which has considerable significance if we are to make intelligent de- cisions about the validity of the President's policies in South- east Asia,
It is very hard to understand how national security could be jeopardized by telling the public the results of this poll, unless it is assumed that national sec- urity is best served by protecting the American people from facts. But we do not make such assump- tions in this country, and with good reason. In a democracy the formulation and implementation of sound policy depends on the pub- lic's having access to basic in- formation, especially information they pay to collect.
That is v/hy I have favored for many years the release of all polls taken by the USIA, If there are occasions when they should be kept secret, these should be the exceptions rather than the rule. That is clearly not the case with the poll we are talking about to- day.
We usually know whose interest is being protected when agencies of the Government say it is not in .the national interest to release information that could have no conceivable effect on national security. It is rarely the public interest, the only interest about which the Government should be concerned,
I call upon the USIA to change its policy regarding the release of these polls. There is, may I repeat, no valid security reason nor.any requirement under the law that they be concealed. As a be- ginning, Mr, Shakespeare should act immediately to provide the American people with the results of the particular poll I have men- tioned today.
