Asked to present a brief sketch of myself, I felt a little abashed-
after all, what -constitutes this entity — me? Not that I necessarily
have an identity conflict, I felt a subject relating to me, or attempt,
ing to write about my nebulous nature, my vacilating moods, etc.
would border on the ambiguous, and perhaps confuse more than
clarify. So, I shall merely relate a thumb nail sketch about my
background, not my physic. By background, I mean that which I
can say publicly without propriety. In other words, I'm not going
to relate that I was a juvenile delinquent, a bully in school, a wild
man about the campus, a rebel, etc.
I am an aborigine of Idaho.. I grew up there, in the conservative
atmosphere, an iconoclast and a liberal. The reason I claim to be
a native is that I have Indian blood whooping through my veins; my
Bannoch brothers are now peacefully and poorly settled on the Black-
foot Indian reservation.
After attending my freshman year at Santa Barbara, I transfer,
red to Idaho State University and matriculated in 1968 with a B.A.
in English and Social Science. I commenced graduate work in
American Literature, but then, as some are prone to do, decided
my forte was in student personnel. I began my masters program
in Guidance and Counseling the same time I started teaching at
Pocatello High School as Forensic director. After an interesting
year with the young set, and many graduate hours later, I as-
sumed my various roles here: Student Activities coordinator, Men's
housing director, College Union director, and eventually, if I can
squeeze a few hours out of my day, assistant wrestling coach and
Speech lecturer. It's no joke when I say "variety is the spice of
have a definite feeling, though, I don't think I'll be bored
live." I
easily.
It has been reported that I'm single and I validate this by saying
it's not that I don't want to, It's just that no one has asked me, which
accounts for twenty.four years of bachelorhood.

A great deal of controversy has been generated recently by the
question of how deeply Involved the student body should become In
Issues outside the realm of student government, I.e., those involv-
ing moral or political questions, such as gun legislation and the war
In Viet Nam, more particularly the question has been asked concern-
ing how deeply Involved the Echo should become in debating these is.
sues. Certainly there Is a need now for an editorial policy by the
Echo concerning these affairs.
Last year there was a great deal of dissatisfaction with the Echo
because it dealt with affairs on the national level more than It should
have. This statement seems justified when you consider that last
year the Kingsmen, while compiling an enviable record of 9 wins
against only 1 loss, were written up only twice in that ten week period.
Two articles to cover ten gameslll During the same ten-week period
there were seventeen articles that concerned themselves with such
varied and pertinent topics of student Interest as the Kennedy
assassination, the War In Viet Nam, and Gun Control Legislation.
Obviously there seems to be here a case of misplaced emphasis.
There is no doubt that the Kennedy Assassination, the War, and
Gun Control Legislation are stimulating topics for conversation and
speculation, but aren't these topics covered sufficiently well In the
L.A. Times, and yes, even the News-Chronicle?
If the Echo Is to be at all relevant It Is going to have to hit closer
to Issues at home. There are numerous Issues which hit our daily
lives with more impact, and which are desperately In need of solu-
tion. If the Echo Is to be effective, it is going to have to come to
grips with Central issues, even if it means neglecting Peripheral
Issues such as the assassination and the war.
Sure, as long as we keep discussing National Issues there's no
danger of upsetting the Administration, but what fun is that?
For those cynics wno doubt there is anything on the CLC campus
worth discussing, consider the following partial list of topics per-
tinent to the upcoming CLC year.
0) The previews we've had of the Food Service so far only serve
to accent our dire need of a qualified chef. As long as we pay more,
we might as well get our money's worth.
(2) Last year's student Senate was a farce and a sham. If this
year's Senate can't do any better, wouldn't it be wise to totally
abolish that body and Institute a system of specialized committees
(which were experimented with at the Las Vegas Retreat and proved
remarkably effective.)
(3) The possibility has been raised that the current system of
women's hours is in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It
Is definitely In violation of any semblance of responsibility on the
part of women students. Men students have the alternative of stay,
ing out past eleven on school nights, and still maintain their GPA's.
Should It be assumed that CLC women have the common sense re-
quired to know when their bed time is, whether the Administration
tells them or not?
(4) The debate between Long Range Goals and Short Range Goals
continues with the Regents and Convocators. Thoughtful students
(and faculty) want facilities for improved education here and now,
rather than in some foggy future time. Demands for much-needed
equipment should no longer be met with the statement "You'll
get that when we get to the North Campus." Plans for the North
Campus are now (tentatively) set for 1973. That Is when this year's
Freshman class graduates. Don't they deserve a better education
NOW while they're here?
(5) There is a need for research into the possibility of increas-
lng the number of core requirement courses that can be waived by
passing a basic proficiency test. This would give the student more
time to experiment in fields outside his major, and eliminate the
boredom of dryly going over and over material for which the stu-
dent may have received an A In High School.
(6) There Is a need for research into the possibility of expand-
ing the current Pass Fail System to include courses that are re-
quired for graduation. Student-initiated plans for this are now in the
polishing stages and should be ready for presentation to the facul-
ty shortly.
The list could be continued, but here we have enough problems
to keep us occupied for the next year at least.
At the recent Forest Home Conference between Faculty, Stu-
dents, Administrators and Regents, many Regents showed them-
selves more willing than in the past to listen to the wants and needs
of the students, who are, after all, paying 2/3 of the cost of their
own education. There is a possibility of making some headway in
these vital Central areas, If we neglect our delusions of influence
on the peripheral National level and begin concentrating our efforts
on the home front.
My impression of the Forest Home Conference leads me to believe
that Regents are now more open to the possibilities of improving
the campus now than they ever were before. This year's increases
of recreational and office spaces proves that. These solutions
seem small when compared to the need, but now when the regents
are at long last turning their ear to the student body's cries, let's
not neglect our opportunities. There Is a possibility for construct-
ive change on campus here and now if the students show themselves
to be able to argue their case in an academic — and mature manner.
They are ready to listen, if we've got something to say. So damn
it, let's get It said.

RETREAT!
Forty top student
leaders met recently with
Faculty, Administration,
and Regents to discuss
the quality of education
at CLC. After three days
of concentrated discussion
and evaluation, some of
the conclusions listed
below were reached.
Most important, however,
was the feeling that at
last something was being
done to bridge the
communications gap.
Students should learn
to express themselves, to
contribute to society, each
with his own abilities, to
expand their mental facul-
ties, to show Christian
interest in the individual,
to differentiate between
acceptable and rejectable
situations, to think and
solve problems, to know
the problem by first-
hand exposure to the
situation, to enter the
community and relate to it.
The church today
recognizes the leaders
that will be produced
by the liberal arts
college. They also
believe in their
ability to endow
these leaders with
sensibility and
compassion needed
to solve the problems
they will face. The
Church also needs
these individuals to
carry the leadership
of the Church in the
future.
Invest money now in
present campus to create
better facilities
needed now.

PRINCETON. N.J. (Sept. 15) —
College seniors preparing to
teach school may take the Nation-
al Teacher Examinations on any
of the four different test dates
announced today by Educational
Testing Service, a nonprofit, edu.
cational organization which pre-
pares and administers this test-
ing program.
New dates for the testing of
prospective teachers are:
November 8, 1969, and January 31,
April 4. and July 18, 1970. The
tests will be given at nearly 500
locations throughout the United
States. ETS said.
Results of the National Teach,
er Examinations are used by
many large school districts as
one of several factors in the se-
lection of new teachers and by
several states for certification
or licensing of teachers. Some
colleges also require all seniors
preparing to teach to take the
examination. The school systems
and state departments of educa-
tion which use the examination
results are designated in the
Bulletin of Information for Can-
didates.
On each full day of testing,
prospective teachers may take
the Common Examinations, which
measure their professional pre.
paration and general cultural
background, and a Teaching Area
Examination which measures -
mastery of the subject they ex-
pect to teach.
Prospective teachers should
contact the school systems in
which they seek employment, or
their colleges, for specific ad-
vice on which examinations to
take and on. which dates they
should be taken.

Candidates contains a list of

munity.
An idea started last year by
CLC Drama Club and Alpha Psi
Omega Fraternity of producing
Stalag 17, a complete student pro-
duction, will be carried out this
year again, but with three shows
planned. These productions will
be designed, directed, produced,
and presented by people of the
student body.
For the first quarter. The
Drama Club will present Ladies
in Retirement, by Edward Percy
and Reginald Denham on Decern-
ber 5th and 6th in the Little Thea-
tre. It is a psychological mys-
tery-drama which has parts for
six women and one man. The
show will be directed by Don
Haskell, with Mark Eichman as
Assistant. Gary Odom will bede-
signing the set for the product-
ion. Open tryouts will be held
October 21st and 22nd at 3:00
in the Little Theatre with re-
hearsals beginning the following
Tuesday.
For all the men on campus,
since it has parts for twenty-one
men and one woman, Mister Rob-
erts is the scheduled production
for the Winter quarter. It will
be presented March 6th and 7th
in the Gym. This rowdy and
hilarious saga of men aboard
a Navy cargo ship in the Pacific
starred Jack Lemon and Henry
Fonda in the movie version which
is incredibly close to the stage
version.
The third quarter show will be
selected by the Drama Club from
one of these three: Odd Couple,
Any Wednesday, and Where's
Daddy. The Drama Club will be
meeting on Tuesday night at 7:30
In the Little Theatre to discuss
this subject, all of the shows,
plans for the year, and new ad-
ditlons to the schedule. All in-
terested students are welcome
to join this club and come to the
Tuesday night meeting, whether
you hope to get involved this
quarter or not.

By Tee Guidotti
First columns In the first Issue of school papers for a new year,
the "Welcome Freshman," "Freshman Orientation," "Your School"
type, invariably fall into two categories. Both are easy to start
writing because they both begin identically.
The first type is straight. It begins with "Students and teachers
working together make a college great" and ends up with "You
only get as much out of college as you put in." Usually written by
the student.body president, the president or chancellor of the col.
lege or university, or a philosophizing student newspaper editor,
it is quite sincere and often heads up the column listing all the clubs
and activities on campus. Such editorials or columns hould be read,
because they are true.
The second type is droll. It starts off with a mocking simulation
of praise and adulation for academia, hard to tell from the real
thing, and ends up implying that if you make it thrugh college
you've either sold out to the establishment or bough the Adminis.
tration. Sometimes good humoredly and sometimes not, little snide
remarks are made to the effect that education is a con game and stu.
dents are a persecuted minority. Usually written by cynical colum.
nists or defeated campus politicians, such columns are often sin-
cere and more often censored. Such editorials or columns should
be read — often they're true too.
By the way, we've just invented a third type — the kind that com.
ments on other columns.
Not being a student at Cal Lutheran, I can't honestly say "Wei.
come to Our Campus," because if I did it would mean you were
transferring. I will say, however, that every time I've been on
your campus I've gotten good vibrations (or was it the April earth-
quake). Out of collegiate patriotism, though, I hasten to add that USC
definitely has more ivy. But then, I don't have a sink in my room in
the dorms, either.
Going off to college isn't what it used to be, I'm afraid. Back in
the old days, when a handful of graduates from high school senior
went off to school, they had already done academic wonders by get-
ting past eleventh grade. There were those tearful family partings
at the railway stations, the ill-fitting high collars that contributed
to the lump in the incoming freshman's throat as he walked across
the Old Quad to the Dean's office to present the letter of introduc
tlon written by Uncle Fred, who had graduated from the Law School
in '86.
Nowadays you get your diploma and go to Disneyland. Three months
later you fly PSA and hit town, looking for a place to crash if the
dorms aren't open yet, and stand in line for hours to get your IBM.
punch class cards (or whatever). Uncle Fred graduated with a de..
gree in English in '52 and teaches high school back home. Either
that or you drive in every day on the freeway and in place of the Old
Quad there's a concrete slab patio with concrete benches.
Even though some atmosphere has been lost, the new open. style
campus has its advantages. Commando groups of students can't
sneak up on the administration building as easily and the trees
aren't covered with lichens from the shade and damp, which is a
real hangup when you go to sit under a tree to read and find your,
self leaning back on a green mess. Libraries are better, even if
they do look like warehouses, and the school doesn't have to spend
as much on lights tor the reading rooms because they didn't put in
decent windows.
The attitude has changed, too. After being urged to stick it out
through high school, the idea of getting a diploma from college was
a bit superfluous, unless you wanted to be a doctor or a lawyer or
Uncle Fred was paying your way. During summer break you might
work in the town grocery store, where all the customers knew you by
name and called you "Our Scholar." The kids you went to school
with called you "Egghead" behind your back and you could get a date
with any girl in town because you were going to amount to something
someday.
Today, you're urged not to drop out of college. Since you want to
become a molecular physiologist specializing in applied curative
treatments of disfunctional cellular membranes you have difficulty
getting a summer job in your field. You" probably work in the town
supermarket bagging bananas, and nobody knows you from Adam.
The kids you went to school with went to a better college than you're
going to and call you "Dum.Dum" behind your back and you may be
able to get a date with a girl on campus (the ration is only $:1), but
you're a good catch because the chances are 87 per cent that the bank
financing your education will make sure you amount to something.
You've got to, to pay back the loan.
People's attitudes toward college students nave changed drama,
tically. Back in the good old days the local paper put in your picture
and ran a front page "hometown boy goes to college" story. The
neighbors were all excited and your parents bragged to their friends.
Wien you wore your State U. sweatshirt people came up to you and
said "State U.! Why my second cousin's brother Fred went to State
U. in M2!"
Last December I took a flight from LA to Miami. Not too long after
we left LAX the woman n&t to me turned to me and asked if I were
in college (I was reading my invertebrate bio text). Right after I said
yes she came out with "My, my, we MUST do something about our
colleges, right?" "Sure," I blurted, unwilling to get in an involved
argument. "By the way, what school are y^u^oing to? Are you going
back there now?" "Yes lam," I replied, "the University of Havana."
She deserved it, I thought later.
Of course, there are plenty of changes ior the better. Back in
those primeval times colleges were cloisters, and the problems of
the world were only indirectly related to the stuffy prose of the text,
book. Nowadays, college students are not only aware of world prob.
lems, but they have their very OWN world problem to concern them.
It's a nice feeling to have your own problem, although I can think
of some people at Berkeley and Columbia who would just as soon
forego the pleasure.
Still, it's an exciting time to be a student. If the world can keep
from blowing itself up, starving Itself, smearing itself over with oil
and smog, and infecting itself with biological weapons, it will offer
a lot of opportunities. Our day wil'r come soon If it comes at all,
and the next question is wnat are you going to do about it?
Education starts in the classroom but doesn't end there. It Just
doesn't end. Besides. . . you only get as much out of college as you
put in.

YEAR OF THE
WARRIORS
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — It's the "Year of the Warriors" at
California Lutheran College. And there may be a real battle in store
for the Kingsmen, who were 9.1 last year and No. 9 in the national
rankings.
Coach Bob Shoup, District III and Area I National Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Coach of the Year in 1968, has a
major rebuilding job this year as he must find replacements for 20
graduated lettermen, including All-American Gary Loyd. But Shoup
has a group of 22 strong sopho. »

man record last year, on hand. If
the first- year men come through,
the Kingsmen will have an out.
side chance of repeating their
1968 district championship.
Shoup's "guarded optimism" is
based on the rapid development
of a young 50.man squad.
Offensively Cal Lutheran will
be sound. The backfield is ex.
oerienced, the receiver corps
outstanding, and the offensive
line seasoned, if not deep.
The ground attack should be
a strong point as All.Coast run-
ning back Joe Stouch, who rushed
for 883 yards and a 5.0 yards
per.carry average last year, re.
turns at left half. Senior Ron
Schommer. injured last year,
has the ability to make the big
play and may even give Stouch a
run for the money. Sophomore
Dave Sandifer leads in the com.
petition for the fullback slot va-
cated by last year's workhorse
Bruce Nelson.
The passing game also has
potential. Quarterback Al Jones,
who led the team to five vie.
tories in 1968, returns as field
general. Jones hit 65 of 107
passes for an outstanding .608
completion average and 883 yards
The return of Tom Turk, a fine
passer who missed last season
due to injury, should answer the
,search for a back-up quarterback.
Senior flankers Brian Jeter
and Bill "Robbie" Robinson lead
a fleet group of wide receivers.
If Jeter can return to the form
he showed as a sophomore when
he earned all-dlstrict honors, the
Kingsmen will have a real break.
away threat. Robinson is a key
performer as both a receiver and
kicker. He led all scorers last
year with a record-breaking 11
field goals, 29points-after-touch-
down and 5 touchdowns for a total
of 92 points. Robinson's status is
questionable at present due to a
knee Injury.
Senior Ted Masters has good
speed and unusual blocking abi-
lity for a split end. Tri-Captain
Carl Clark, a rugged blocker and
clutch receiver, gives CLC the
ideal combination at tight end.
The addition of newcomer John
Bossard, who runs the 100 in
9.9, rounds out what should be
a fine passing attack.

Tim Van Buskirk, 5.9, 192 lead
the guard corps which has been
bolstered by the return of Viet-
nam veteran Steve Pederson, who
is the biggest man on the squad
at 6-4, 240. Bruce Thomas, a 6-2
230 senior and Bruce Carlson,
a 6.0, 210 junior will handle the
tackle slots.

TENDENCIES
REVEALED IN
SOPHOMORES
In the 1940' s, Germany and
Italy were taken over by a wide,
scale fascist movement. In 1969,
the Freshman class was subject,
ed to a similar degradation: Ini-
tiation.
Think for a moment how alike
these two incidents are. The
German people were subjected
to constant humiliation and even
execution. The Frosh received
only idle threats of "Liquida-
tion," but were humiliated to no
end. The women sported macabre
clashing outfits with a wide va-
riety of footwear, all mismatch,

tired in inside-out shirts, pants
rolled up at the cuff, clashing
socks, and, after Thursday night,
soggy beanies. All Frosh carried
pillows or blankets, and were
"asked" to put their thumbs in
their mouths.
The Italians were brainwashed
by Musollini with frantic cries
of "Dulce." The Sophomores de-
manded devotion from the stolid
Frosh, forcing them to sing songs
such as "We Love You Sopho.

Are." The Frosh were also in-

FRESHMAN
IMPRESSIONS
Whatever a freshman expects
out of college, whatever he ex-
pects college to be; he is sure
to find that it is a different world
than he has ever known. The first
week spent at CLC is one of ad.
justment to this new world. It is
adjustment to the food served
in the cafeteria, to dormitory
life, to new people and to the
philosophy of college.
It is a week of being homesick
or a week so full of a new life
that you don't have the time to be-
come homesick. A week full of
meetings where you listen to peo.
pie say many things you've heard
before, only in a new context. The
week also includes registration,
a day or two of spending hours de-
ciding which courses to take and
then having to work it out again.
After registration is com.

Initiation is something that CLC
is fortunate to have. Most Ameri.
can institutions of higher educa-
tion are too large and imperso-
nal to provide such entertain,
ment and enjoyment for fresh,
men.
The idea of initiation creates
almost as many emotional hang,

gins, the Frosh wonder about it
and worry about it. This year,
the worries were almost worse
than initiation, at least for the ma-
jority of the Frosh.
Not that the Sophs didn't have
many wonderful things planned
and not that they didn't carry
them through. It was just that the
Sophs decided to be a little gentle
because of some of the results
of Frosh Initiation 1968.

FROSH
This year's Frosh initiation program started off with a "bang"
from cap guns as "The Brotherhood" moved in on the Frosh. It be-
gan after a short vesper service in the gym. Wednesday, Sept. 24,
at 9:00 p.m. There the Frosh learned essential songs and the proce.
dure of the traditional "Buttoning" under the direction of "Big L"
(Adrian Lee, class president) and other members of "The Brother,
hood." The fun didn't stop there. However, after a restful (?) night,
the Frosh were awakened for a tour of the campus at 5:30 a.m.'
Thursday. Exercises were done on the football field as well as a
fashion show at the outdoor theater. President Olson also received
his traditional "Good Morning"
From there the Frosh went
through a day of doing "odds
and ends" for the Sophomores
and upperclassmen. Thursday
nieht at about 12:30 they were
awakened again for more vigor-
ous exercises and an 'infor-
mal" meeting with Frosh men
and women between Alpha and
Beta Halls. In the gym Friday
night, Sept. 26 at 8:30 Frosh
received their due punishments
for not obeying the wishes of
"The Brotherhood."
The Frosh finally got tc
breathe easily after a short "de.
beaning ceremony during half.
time at last Saturday's football
game with Redlands. There the
Frosh were voted worthy of be-
coming Freshmen and Kingsmen
at CLC.
FIRST DAY BLUES
So how was your first day of
classes? Odds are it was pro-
bably as bent out of shape as
mine. Take note:
The three classes I have with
scheduled periods were all
(amazingly enough) held at the
scheduled time, but only one
ended up in the scheduled room.
That was an advanced English
composition class held in Bio-
logy lab.

THE BROTHERHOOD
MOVES IN
By DOUG WARNEKE
As most of your upperclassmen
know, the question of who to
root for arises each year as the
Sophs take over the Frosh. After
watching Big L and the Boys
take over the "Beanied Babies"
this year, I decided immediately
that this con game was going to
go on unopposed. Not only did
the Frosh not resist, they did
not so much as even let a little
obscenity fall from their sweet
little lips, f personally was dis-
appointed because I felt for sure
that more than once, at least one
feeble Soph was going to "eat his
lunch." But no|
I was convinced that Big L with
the help of "Junky" Geoff and
Oakland would surelydemoralize
the Frosh class. Even the dresses
of the Frosh girls suddenly got
longer; I guess they knew that
sooner or later they'd all be but-
toning for Big L.
Anyway the next day passed,
and the only "faire de re-
sistance" made was by a girl
who was asked to button by my
roommate. My roommate went so
far as to say please, and the only
response he got was to "Shove. .
This made me feel better — the
Frosh had finally banned together
to resist the debonnaire Big L
and his squirt gun goons. But
then came the midnight raid. The
Frosh men all smelled like they
had been to a barber shop.
Faith in the Frosh class was re.
stored to me, however, when af.
ter a brief swim in the Olympic,
size lawn between Alpha and Beta,
a weary Frosh calmly maintained
that his "Timex keeps on
ticking."

CHANGES IN LIBRARY
Anyone coming into the Library recognizes immediately that things
are not as they have been. The furniture and book stacks in the center
room have been rearranged to provide a better flow of traffic, to in-
crease the amount of space behind the circulation desk, and to im.
prove the study space in the room by getting the carrels away from the
circulation desk.
Two other changes will have a greater effect upon everyone using
the Library. You are award that new I.D. cards have been issued to
everyone on campus and that this card has embossed on it the name
of the person to whom it is issued. The Librarv is now using an
electric book charging machine
and it is necessary that the
borrower have this embossed
identification card in order to
check out a book. The clerk at
the circulation desk must place
the I.D. card, with the card from
the pocket in the back of the book,
on the machine; the name of the
borrower and the due date will
then be printed on the book card.
This card is retained by the Li-
brary as a record of thetransac-
tion and a card giving the date the
book is due will be inserted into
the pocket in the back of the book.
The machine will also be used
for checking out reserve books.
The Library staff is presently
in the process of removing some
of the books from the open shelves
to place them in a storage area.
If the collection is to continue
to grow it is necessary to place
some of the less frequently used
volumes in storage in order to
provide shelf space for new ma-
terial. The Library now has al.
most 58.000 volumes and expects
to have well over sixty thousand
before the end of this academic
year.
Books placed in storage will
be available for use but it will
be necessary to place a request
for them at the circulation desk.
Cards in the author catalog will
be annotated to indicate which
books have been placed in stor-
age. For the time being books
will be stacked along some of the
walls and in some of the car.
rels. these are on their way
to storage. This will incon-
venience both you and us, but
please bear with us, we will
complete the move just as soon
as possible.

All comers — skiers, non-skiers, beginners, novices, snow bun-
nies, and snow makers — are all invited to the first Big Meeting of
the Schneedork Ski Club. The meeting is scheduled for this Thurs.
day evening, October 2, in K-l at 8 p.m. After a short introduction
of the coming events and trips we will be sponsoring throughout the
coming year, we will be presented two exciting Warren Miller
films — "Skiing Is For Fun" and "The Technique of Short Skis."
Refreshments will be provided — Free — and you are encouraged
to bring a friend.
This year on Sunday evening, November 23, the Schneedork Ski
Club will proudly present Warren Miller's all new, ninety minute
color ski movie, "THIS IS SKIING" in the Gymnasium at C.L.C.
The film is all new for 1970 and will have been shown only once in
Southern California previous to our performance. "THIS IS SKIING"
brings to the screen a 90-minute ski view of powder snow and sun.
shine — blizzards and national championship racers — France and
Alaska and music — and fun mostly.
Through Warren's well traveled camera and diverse interest, he
has produced over one hundred movies and his published four books.
"THIS IS SKIING." Warren's latest film, captures all the unusual
and creative talents that makes this film one to be remembered for
years to come. Like the producer, this ski adventure film is well
traveled; featuring skiing in California, Utah, Colorado, Vermont,
Idaho. France, and Alaska.
Television and feature film experience add to the scope and quali-
ty of Warren's films. Warren Miller Productions has created sever-
al shows for network television, the latest being the very successful
Jean-Claude Killy television series of CBS.
To learn more about this great event and other activities during
the '69-'70 Ski Season, be sure to attend our opening meeting on
Thursday, October 2, at 8 p.m. in K-l. We'll be looking forward to
making your acquaintance!
THIS IS SKIINC — This side of skiing is reserved for instructors like
this one at Mammoth Mountain. But there are other sides to skiing
that anyone can enjoy. The many sides of skiing featured in Warren
Miller's all new. ninety minute color ski movie, "THIS IS SKIING,"
will be presented by the Schneedork Ski Club on Sunday evening, No-
vember 23 in the Gym.

Concerning CLC students, Pas-
tor Swanson stated that such a

achieved his fullest Christian
potential.
In closing, Pastor Swanson ex.
pressed the need for celebration
to be the wellspring of life at
C.L.C.
Students took part in the Wor.
ship Celebration by singing the
Propers and by presenting a
brass quartet. Members of the
quartet were Phil Catalano, Andy
Cote, Doug Warneke, and Mr.
Elmer Ramsey. Mr. Carl B.
Swanson served as organist. The
offering was to be placed in the
College Pastor's Fund for ap.
propriate use in a cause or pro-
Ject of the Associated Student
Body.
On August 26. 1920, the United States Congress raUfied the 19th
Amendment which states that "the right of the citizens of the United
States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States
or by any state on account of sex." That was the beginning of the
recognition of the equality of the sexes. Unfortunately, extending the
franchise to the female citizens of the United States did not necessa.
rily extend to her the basic rights and freedoms inherent in the Bill
of Rights and the United States Constitution. The public, if not the
government, still considered the woman's place to be in the home,
which meant that many occupations were (are) closed to her.
The fight for women's rights has progressed slowly since 1920.
Women have gradually been granted rights in the United States which
were inherently theirs. With the Civil Riehts Acts and the Equal
Employment Commission, the United States government finally ac.
knowledged the fact that women were being discriminated against
and that some safeguards were needed to protect these rights.
Some freshmen women at Oneonta State College In New York have
Initiated a constitutional challenge of women's hours. They have
based their argument on the fact that the men students have no hours.
It is their belief, and mine, that women's curfews are based on
sexual discrimination and therefore unconstitutional.
Colleges and institutions of higher education, such as ours, which
continue to enforce discriminatory rules and laws, such as wo.
men's hours, sign-in and slgn.out. and bedchecks are perpetuating this
antiquated and illegal system of denying a woman her basic rights.
By having and enforcing these rules, they are overprotecting women
and encouraging them to be subservient to men, which in turn
discourages them from competing with men in their chosen voca.
tion.
The greatest waste of (wo)man.power In the United States is the
female college graduates who feel they cannot be a successful
mother and wife while at the same time having a career. These
women cannot see any relationship between the creativity of mother,
hood and the creativity of a challenging career. The American
colleges and Universities are churning out generation after genera,
tion of lazy women who only attend these institutions to "catch" a good
husband who will support them in the manner to which they wish to
become accustomed for the rest of their lives. The roots of this
kind ofaha'ttitudelieiji the past, present, and possibly future infringe-
ment upon women's rights.' This is why today's woman must begin
to think and analyse exactly what she wants her life to be. If you as
a woman wish your life to be daytime soap operas and bridge lunch-
eons, then keep thoughts of rights and freedoms out of your mind.
But if you want a challenging career where you can explore new areas
of creativity, demand those rights which are yours.

O.R.G.Y. creators, Roger Dokken and Tim Pinkney look over some
hot prospects for their computerized dating center.
O.R.G.Y. 'S
ORNITHOLOGY
School has opened and once again the cycle begins anew: new
classes, new professors and most important, new girls on campus.
This year, like last year, the Freshman Women Identification
Corps more commonly known as O.R.G.Y. (the Organization of Re-
g'stering Girls for You) has acquired valuable information regard,
ing our new freshmen "birds."
Greater care was taken this year in our attempt to register 100
per cent of our lovely doves. We, the Governors ot O.R.G.Y.
felt this year's swans would not swallow last year's premise of
a computer dance and thus we were forced to resort to an ambigious
document entitled "The Social Equation;" we are pleased to report
that we were so successful that only a few of our lovebirds escaped
our annual snare.
C.L.C. roosters really have a lot to crow about when they look
around the campus cage, for we are proud to release the average
wingspan of our pigeons as 35.9 — 24.5 — 35.5 (which is a V2"
increase from our blossomed beauties of last year.
Some additional general information that we can release at this
time is that most of this year's flock has migrated from within our
own state to this — the church's protected reserve. When further
plucking into our AVES NEORNITHES we discover that their favorite
color is sky blue, their favorite flower to light on Is 2 dsisy and their
favorite bird ranged from a delicate redwinged hummingbird to a
big raunchy buzzard.
We are sorry but that is all the general information we can re.
lease at this time. For specific tid-bits concerning any particular
San Quentin quail you've got your sights on, contact O.R.G.Y.

DEVELOP-
MENT AND
CHANGE
FAST
START
After two days of those 7:40
classes, a fantastic football
game, and Sunday dinner In the
CLC cafeteria, another year at
CLC is underway. It's easy to
forget all those issues that con.
cerned so many of us last spring
— discussions about the pass,
fail system, student body elec
tions, a falling senate, and, most
vocal of all the arguments, the is-
sue of women's rights and hours.
Now that classes have started
those extra-curricular activities
are once again arousing atten.
tion. Candy Maitland organized
a dorm meeting for Sept. 29 to
talk about her favorite topic, wo.
men's hours. Ski club has their
first meeting this week, as well
as a few of the smaller clubs.
Of course, a few of the smaller
club CLC's Friday Afternoon
Club, better known as the FAC,
beat all student organizations
with their first get.together last
Friday. So, with so much to do,
let's watch closely and really
get something done this year in.
stead of letting it ride until the
fall.
PRESIDENT'S
RECEPTION
Having recently been depillow.
ed and de. Pioneered, or to be
more specific, debeanied, the
freshman class of CLC and other
new students gathered in the gym
Sunday evening, September 28,
for the President's Reception.
With the girls in their long,
flowing gowns or short, wispy
mini's and the guy's In suits, they
proceeded down the receiving
line. Dr. and Mrs. Edmund, and
Pastor and Mrs. Swanson, joined
President and Mrs. Olson in
meeting and welcoming the new
students. Several ASB leaders
as well as a number of faculty
members and their spouses cir.
culated throughout the crowd.
Dean Gangsei and his wife were
also on hand to lend their friend,
ly hospitality to the affair.
Refreshments were served by
the SPURS. (Sophomore Women's
Honorary Society). Entertain,
ment was proved byCLC's string
Quartet, which included, Norma
Van Dalsem, string bass; Bonnie
Moore, piano; Cheryl Raught,
viola; and Jeannle Tellez, violin.
— There will be changes at Cali-
fornia Luthsrsn College this fail,
with many of the changes invoiv.
ing new strength and development
for us. Each September we have
the happy experience of seeing
more strength and maturity, with
this year being especially no-
ticeable. For example:
The Department of Sociology
has been strengthened consider,
ably with two new professors
added to this faculty. Dr. Mary
Margaret Thomes and Mr. James
Hannon.
The California Lutheran Intern
Program (CLIP) has contined to
grow and win enthusiastic praise
from public school adminlstra-
tors. In addition to its effective,
ness in Ventura County there is
now an extension functioning at
Bakersfleld.
A new psychology laboratory
has been built and installed.
The need for added classrooms
has been very great. The solu.
tion has been to respond gladly
to the offer of Holy Trinity Lu.
theran Church (LCA) and rent
their facilities for added class,
room space, which has allowed
other space to be taken for labor,
atory use.
In spite of many obstacles the
College is moving a large barn to
the campus to be renovated for
use as a "coffee house" type
facility providing a recreation
center for students to supple,
ment the College Union. The
building has been donated by
Janss Corporation. The Com.
munlty Leaders Club is assist.
ing in renovation and contracting
needs. It should be ready for use
early in the school year.
During the spring and summer
members of the faculty and staff
have been awarded their Doc
torates. These include: Dr. Lyle
Gangsei, Dr. Lyle Murley, Dr.
Curtis Nelson. As a result, with,
in our full-dme faculty, we have
45 percent of doctorates.
SENATE RESOLUTION
NO. 123
IN THE SENATE OF THE ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY OF
CALIFORNIA LUTHERAN COLLEGE A RESOLUTION
AUTHOR: Senator Johnson
TO PROVIDE FOR: An understanding of student government: its
responsibilities to students and role in the in-
stitutlon.
1. WHEREAS: In past years student government lacked self-under-
standing and conviction 2. of purpose; and
3. WHEREAS: Past failure to assert its identity and delineate its
direction, allowed 4. other factions (i.e. faculty and Administration)
to often unilaterally define 5. student needs and desires in deter,
mining policy and curriculum without challenge; 6. and
7. WHEREAS: Considerable administrative dialogue has been expended
on the terms 8. "CLC goals" and "CLC community;" and
9. WHEREAS: Student leadership now questions whether common
goals can be shared 10. when student definitions of such are es-
sentially different and when the prior- 11. ities of student needs and
desires are short term rather than long; and
12. WHEREAS: Student leadership now questions whether a "com.
munity" can exist 13. when the student position in such is basically
inferior and restricted; and
14. WHEREAS: A cohesive statement on student rights, objectives
and role In the 15. institution would appear to be the only effective res.
f-70n^eur?ot,^r,^re^°Usly I6' "mentioned administrative dialogue;
17. THEREFORE. BE IT RESOLVED: That the Senate of the aIso!
ciated Student Body 18. adopt the Statement of Student Rights, Needs
and Desires as a position consistent 19. with the new direction in
student government at CLC.
STATEMENT OF STUDENT PURPOSE
We, the students of California Lutheran College, do hereby deny
the validity of the existent double standard imposed on students and
declare ourselves separate from, and equal to the faculty and adminis.
tration in determining the affairs of this institution. We assert our in-
herent right as students and as responsible individuals to denounce
unilateral actions and paternalistic attitudes.
Whereas, this institution exists as an educational service, we as
students recognize the origin of our rights In the concept that this
service must be rendered consistent with student needs and desires.
Furthermore, we assert the requirement for autonomous student
definition of student needs and desires. We seriously question
whether at California Lutheran College we can be or should be a
community of common purpose, direction or spirit. We affirm that,
due to the essentially distinct and differing nature of student needs
and desires, there may not necessarily be any compatibility between
student and administrative objectives. The disparity between short
term and long term goals has contributed to an abysmal gap between
student and administrative planning. We reject the current verbiage
re5JrJing C.L.C. goals as being vague and meaningless to students.
With its priorities being contemporary and activist in orientation,
student government is tc be considered the only viable voice of the
students. Student government refuses to be dispensed with. Irs
determination is to achieve satisfaction for student needs and desires.
Its right to be recognized in serious negotiation.
AMS SCHEDULE
ANNOUNCED
As faras the AMS activities are
concerned, there will be a limited
number this first quarter. An
oversight from last year leave
the AMS pocketbook short. We
only have one major responsibi-
lity this first quarter and that Is
the decorating of the men's dorm
at homecoming. Besides this we
only have two or three dates to
work with as this first quarter
was quite solidly booked to begin
with.
We hope to have a good pro-
gram for the following two quar-
ters.

FINANCES: PRESENT
AND
FUTURE
— The newspapers and
periodicals, as well as special
studies of private higher educa.
tion, tell the story of the per.
plexities of private colleges in
meeting their financial obli-
gations of the moment and plan,
ning for the future. CLC shares
in this perplexity, emphasized
by the fact that is is only begin,
ning its ninth year of academic
work.
I wish you could share with
me the knowledge of how earnest,
ly and vigorously people are
working at the strengthening of
the College in its financial life.
This is true of a splendid Board
of Regents, it is true of the De.
velopment staff and others who
work with them. It is also true of
volunteer men and women among
the Fellows, the parents, the
alumni and other kriends. All of
these people need others to join
them in bringing CLC to strength
financially. The 1969-70 year pro.
mises to be our best one but it
will not be so unless we gain the
enthusiastic participation of all
who make up the CLC communi.
ty in its largest sense.
The Regents are giving earn,
est attention to the North Cam-
pus plans as they face the pres-
sures of space and enrollment in
the present facilities. We are at
a critical point, a kind of water,
shed period, as we test the pos-
sibility of going to the north.
Be sure that all of us involved
are spending ourselves, with our
time and personal resources, to
break loose and take the next
major step in the development
of CLC.

NEW
ANTHRO
CLASS
Anthropology student majors,
seeking an upper level elective,
and special students still mayen-
roll in a course in field archaeo-
logy at California Lutheran Col-
lege, according to Dr. Thomas
J. Maxwell, Sociology-Anthropo-
logy Department chairman.
There will be up to 15 enroll-
ments.
Not listed at CLC pre-regis.
tration, the class which will meet
on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to
noon, and at arranged laboratory
hours beginning on Sept. 27, pro.
poses to excavate during the
Fall session at a Chumash In-
dian site located near the Col-
lege campus.
As a result of field archaeo-
logical research conducted last
summer by Dr. Maxwell, stu-
dents unearthed new artifacts
and historical data relating to
the Chumash Indian culture of
Western California. Continuing
search by students for clues
leading to reconstruction of early
Indian inhabitation of the Conejo
Valley (rabbit valley) led to dis-
coveries of over 700 artifacts in
a rock shelter near the CLC
campus last year. Interpretation
of the data led to interesting con-
clusions about the former dwel-
lers of the Thousand Oaks site.
A 1965 investigation by the An-
thropology Department of the
University of California indica-
ted that Chumash tribes of the
Conejo Valley were mainly in-
land inhabitants, dating from 1000
A.D. to as late as 1300 A.D.
Conclusions based upon speci-
fic occurrences of glass and oli-
vella beads, and discovery of de-
sert side-notched projectiles,
concur with the chronological
sequence established for Chu-
mash sites through previous stu-
dies.
Dr. Maxwell's student group
findings have shown the surpris.
lug occurrence of concave based
desert projectile points below
convex points and the absence of
side-notched points, crude fish
hooks, many types of shells and
clam shell ornaments as well as
pestles. The findings indicate a
seasonal coastal campsite of the
Chumash, probably dating around
1400-1600 A.D.
"Students with interest in
man's past, with an affinity for
sun, soil, and study combined,
will have the possibility of some
field trips in connection with the
famed nearby Stagecoach Inn at
Newbury Park, and its present
project of developing a museum
and accomplishing a complete
survey of the archaeology of the
Conejo Valley," Dr. Maxwell
pointed out.
This is a course that can be
taken for the fun of it and com.
bines practice with theory, ac-
cording to Dr. Maxwell. "Here
is an opportunity to make a con-
tribution to the body of data
already gathered locally on the
Chumash, while learning sound
principles of archaeology," Dr.
Maxwell said.

for course credit may contact

K. Johnson, 60 Olsen Road, Thou,

STUDENT PUBLICATIONS COMMISSION
1969 BULLETIN # 1
TO ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY, ALL FACULTY
AND ADMINISTRATION
October 2, 1969
On September 30, 11:00 A.M. the resigna-
tion of Bill Bowers as editor of the
Mountclef ECHO became effective. The
reasons given were "an exceptionally heavy
course load and a lack of organized co-
operation." At that time the ECHO came
under direct control of the Student
Publications Commission.
As a result of this matter the Student
Publication Commission met at 9:30,
October 1, to consider the matter. At that
time Doug Hurley was appointed by the
Commission to take over any and all duties
necessary and expected of the editor of
the Mountclef ECHO, until such a time
as an editor may be selected.
It was further decided by the Commission
to impliment a formal selection process
in the matter of a new editor.
This meaning that the Student Publications
Commission is now accepting applications
for the position of editor of the
Mountclef ECHO. Any persons interested in
applying should contact Chris Walker Ext.
313 or P.O. Box 2547 as soon as possible
for a formal application and further
details. Deadline for these applica-
tions is Tuesday night 12:00 midnight
October 7, 1969.
The Student Publications Commission is the
Governing Body of Publication on this
campus and feels that it has a respon-
sibility to keep the Student, Faculty,
and Administration informed concerning
any changes which might possibly affect
the welfare of the school

IMPRESSIONS
that the Sophs began to know
more about one than just that
one was a Frosh. The group
picture for the Frosh with ho-
nors at entrance proved to be
fun and not terribly important.
Thursday night, dinner was
enjoyable in two ways. The first
was watching others do ridicu.
lous things and the second was
personal involvement in the ri-
diculous. It was also great to miss
eating dinner because by the time
one was ready to eat, the Frosh
had decided to run down to the
CUB.
Friday night was also enjoy,
able. Of course, there were those
who suffered great Indignities
when they were called up during
Kangaroo Court. But most of it
was done in the spirit of fun and
was taken that way.
Saturday, it was fun to get up
and paint the CLC and for some
it was great to be able to sleep
in. Then, after being accepted
as fres*hmen and Kingsmen, it
was wonderful to beat Redlands.
This first week at CLC has
produced the beginnings of a
unity between this new world
and the freshmen.
(Continued from page 2)
FIRST DAY BLUES
This class has a new prof
(as yet untested by the CLC
student) and too, too many stu-
dents for a comp. class. She said
we'd write a lot. We will — our
first assignment was held then
and there.
My second class was Ameri-
can History 201 — supposed to
be held in K.l. It wasn't. Some-
one said "no, it's been switch-
ed to F-l!" F-l was having
Spanish. I think we ended up in
F-10.
AmHist was another new prof._
and too many students for a safe
and sane discussion group. (So
what else is new. . .?)
Class 3: an upper division po.
litical science. The burning ques.
tion was: "will Dr. Tseng stay
in the assigned room?" True
to form, we emigrated to his of-
fice halfway through the period.
("Too hot in here. My office
has an air conditioner! ")
Dr. Tseng is not new and
wouldn't you know the class has
too few students? No way to skip
safely. No way.

of showing their respect: The
Button. This salute is really
quite complex, and a good Button
is a true art form, but most learn,
ed it very quickly.
Residents of Germany during
the 40' s could expect to be awa-
kened at any hour of the night.
The Frosh males V*SIc up bright
and early Friday morning (1:00
a.m.). not, however, by their
own choice. They ran, sat, stood,
.crawled, and swam, being bath-
ed always in a mixture of shaving
cream, water, and anything else
the Sophomores could find. They
were then released at the far end
of the campus, to walk to the
dorms in freezing fog and drip-
ping clothes. This activity was
all observed by the splendidly
prepared Frosh women, decked
out in their best bathrobes and
lipstick, expertly applied by the
Sophomore women.
Friday night, the Sophomore's
held a mock trial for all the
trouble-makers. Of course there
were really no trials — just
sentences. Different Frosh had
to drink Milk of Magnesia, get
covered with mud, take a "bath"
or cool off on a block of ice.
There was the usual minor up-
rising, common to all fascist
movements, but it was quickly
snubbed by the Gestapo-like So.
phomores filling the aisles.
Saturday brought the climax.
During half-time of the victorious
game against Redlands, the Frosh
did one, or two, final Buttons,
and removed their beanies to
become Freshmen.
Was anyone angry? Not really.
A few incidents were unfortunate
errors on the part of both the
Freshmen and the Sophomores,
but the entire effect was worth-
while. If you didn't participate,
well, you missed it| And what
are the Freshmen who went
through it all saying now?
"Man, is it going to be good
next year!"

Who is the stranger walking
up the road? Dressed in motley and
floppy hat, guitar
slung on his back?
He carries a battered bedroll
in the crook of his arm; his worn-out
sandals kick up a cloud of dust that
trails behind him.
His face, shadowed by the
sun, cannot be read. Only
traces of a smile are
hinted at.

STUDENT
COST
FOR
1970-71
— The Board of Regents lives with
the simple fact that the College
must have enough Income from
students and gifts and grants
to balance the expenditures ne-
cessary to operate. It must at-
tempt in light of past experience
to measure the trends in costs,
and establish a reasonable in-
come plan for at least the year
ahead.
The Regents, at a recent meet,
ing, established the Comprehen-
sive Fee for resident students
for the 1970-71 school year at
$2,775 which includes tuition,
general fees, board and room.
The Comprehensive Fee for non-
resident students will be $1785 for
the same period. The comparable
fees for the current year are
$2,520 and $1,610.
To illustrate the realism of the
problem faced by the Regents,
compensation paid faculty and
other employees must be increas.
ed by at least 5 per cent per
annum just to maintain the same
net purchasing power of the em-
ployee; and some additional in-
crease for merit is imperative
to attract and hold persons who
are well qualified.
Thus, a total of 6 per cent is
projected to cover additional sa-
lary expenses, resulting in a total
additional expense of approxi.
mately $100,000; and other gener.
al operating expenses, substan-
tially because of inflationary cost
increases, will result in mini,
mum additional expenses next
year of roughly $125,000. Other
additional expenses, such as in-
terest payable, will increase ex.
penses still further.
To cope with all these expense
demands the Board was aware
that the tuition increases, in.
eluding the comprehensive fee ol
$2,775, would produce with the
same number of students, onlyi
$118,500 of the essential addition,
al revenues. However, the deci-
sion to increase the cost to the
students was made under the as.
sumption that the income from
gifts and grants would need to be
increased in a proportionate way,
so as to retain a position where
the student pays from 65 per cent
to 70 per cent of the educational
cost. Careful attention continues
to be given to increasing scholar,
ship and financial aid to the ful.
lest possible extent.
Friends of youth and of the
higher education program of the
church can look to their share In
1970-71 by bolstering the income
from gifts, grants, and scholar,
ships. We do not see this to be
a burden but as identifying an
opportunity to have a firm share
in a cause that is fully worth the
best we can do.

SHOUP NAMED
ATHELETIC DIRECTOR
California Lutheran College Football Coach Robert F. Shoup
has been named Acting Director of Athletics by Dr. Raymond M.
Olson. CLC President.
Shoup succeeds John R. Siemens who served as Athletic Director
from 1963 until his death by heart attack on August 31, 1969.
The College President, in making the announcement, said, "Mr.
Shoup has earned the respect of his associates at the College as a
talented coach and an able teacher. We are confident that he can add
this administrative responsibility as well."
The versatile coach, who was National Association of Intercol-
legiate Athletics District III
Coach-of-the-Year last year,
said. "I am pleased at the op.
portunity to direct my energies
to the total scope of the athle-
tic program at CLC. My efforts
will be to have a balanced pro-
gram of excellence within all
aspects of the athletic scene."
Since starting football at CLC
in 1962. Shoup has posted an
impressive seven-year won-loss
record of 46-18. His first three
•-ears, the Kingsmen improved
steadily, finishing with 3-4, 5-4,
and 6-4 records.
In 1965 the youthful coach's
efforts bore fruit as Cal Lu-
theran broke into the NAIA rank,
ings with an 8.1 record. In 1966
it was 8.2. and in 1967. 7-2.
Last year CLC won 9 and lost
1, and was recognized as the
number 9 team in the country.
The Kingsmen now have a 9
game winning streak, including
last week's 26-0 shutout over
the University of Nevada.
Shoup's success in football
led to a term as president of the
District III Football Coaches and
his present position on a special
NAIA committee to study nation,
al play-offs. He is also involved
in the academic and administra-
tive realm of college life. At
CLC he served as an Assistant
Professor in Physical Education
and Professional Studies, and
Associate Director of Develop-
• ment in charge of the College's
parents and concert tour pro-
grams. He received a Master's
Degree from U.S.C. in 1961, and
was the recipient of a grant by
the American Lutheran Church
Board of College Education for
further graduate study.
The 37.year.old coach first
showed signs of his ability at
Muir High School and John Muir
College in Pasadena, where he
was a four-year letterman in
high school and student body
president in college. Moving on
to the University of California
Santa Barbara, Shoup became a
starter in both football and base,
ball. In 1952 he led the Gauchos
in both passing and total offense
and in 1954 was the top hitter
on the baseball squad.
After a year of coaching at
Santa Barbara High, he went
on to build a football program
at North High School in Tor.
. ranee. Coming into a situation
somewhat the same as the one
he would encounter at Cal Lu-
theran, Shoup soon developed his
squad into a South Bay power,
house. For his efforts he was
twice named Coach of the Year.
In all, he coached six cham-
pionship teams in three differ,
ent sports at Torrance. His va-
ried experience proved valuable
at Cal Lutheran, as he started
the tennis program, coached
baseball, and helped establish
the Dallas Cowboys' training
camp.
Shoup presently resides In
Thousand Oaks with his wife
Helen and their three children:
Ricky 12, Gregory 7, and Heidi
4. He is an active member of
both religious and community
organizations. At the Ascension
Lutheran Church, he has been
a church council and choir mem.
ber and Bible teacher. Last year
he received special recognition
from the Thousand Oaks Cham,
ber of Commerce for bringing
national recognition to the Co.
nejo Valley.

by R. DAVID LEWIS
ASB VICE-PRESIDENT
As has been clearly evidenced at the Forest Home Retreat,
Las Vegas Conference and now, most recently, in the Senate of the
Associated Student Body, this can be a pivitol year in student affairs
at Cal Lutheran. I believe it essential that we discuss and act upon
the issues involving new directions in student thought and student
action. As we look past ourselves, searching fok relevance in the
educational experience, it seems inescapable that the process will
leave us sensitive to issues beyond the confines of CLC. We are
beginning to sense that our needs are inherent, not unique, but shared
by students nationwide. It is this new awareness that reveals mas-
sive shortcomings in student government at CLC. I maintain that
student government, especially the Senate, has failed in past years
on two significant counts. First, it has lacked direction operating
without foresight or intent. It has responded to Issues and not ini-
tiated programs. When in the past no issue arose to respond to, gov-
ernment has died. Government did not know where It was going and
barely where it had been.
The second major fault of student government has been undeniable
and inexcusable. It has not been responsive to student needs and
desires. Last year when the issues involving the proposed course
In the New Left and women's hours developed, neither the Senate
nor any other branch of student government was prepared. Why?
Because no one In student government had bothered to explore
the very Issues that touch the student most deeply, stimulate his
imagination, but most importantly, are the obligation of any viable
student government to explore. We must become aware that in the
current context, the purpose of student government has been right-
fully changed from one concerned with and restricted to the realm
of on-campus social functions to an organization taking an active
part in evaluation and confrontation of issues and problems perti-
nent to our society and lives. It can be no longer make believe.
The issues are real and if we are to lay claim to relevance, we
must confront, not avoid them. The Senate, as well as all levels
of student government, must take up the initiative and responsibility
for exploring such subjects as the elimination of social restric
tions, campus injustice, student power, academic innovation, etc.
If we do not develop objectives for student government that are In

UNITE FOR PEACE
by. Phil Reitan; ASB Pres.
"The type of non-violent action which the moratorium asserts
is not only highly commendable but also sorely needed" — Senator
Mark O. Hatfield.
On September 26th, I was at St. Olaf In Minnesota meeting with
the Student Body Presidents of the other American Lutheran
Church sponsored Colleges. One of the items we discussed was our
role in the Viet Nam Moratorium. The following resolution was
passed unanimously.
WHEREAS, WE as student leaders of Christian institutions of
higher learning feel a definite need to express our moral concern
for the conflict in Viet Nam; and
WHEREAS, WE feel a need to support the actions of those Ameri-
can citizens who are seeking an end to the war in Viet Nam; and
WHEREAS, WE believe the Viet Nam Moratorium Committee
is a viable and effective means for expressing this concern; there-
fore,
BE IT RESOLVED THAT WE, the student body presidents repre-
sentatives of the American Lutheran Church colleges and univer-
sities, in convention assembled, do lend our full support and en-
couragement to the churches and institutions of learning which in
cooperation with the Viet Nam Moratorium Committee do mark
October 15, 1969, as the first of a series of days for the expression
of the desire of the American people for peace; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT WE urge churches and edu-
cational institutions throughout the nation to join with us in this con.
tlnuing endeavor.
Mr. Haley is the author of the
renowned "Autobiography of Mal-
colm X", which can be purchas-
ed in paperback In the college
bookstore or checked out of the
library. In preparation for Mr.
Haley's appearance, I would sug-
gest that students and faculty try
to read the autoblobraphy. It is
a breathtaking account of the lit-
tle understood Malcom X, a man
whose effect on blacks and whites
is still increasing.

Four
And
Twenty
Blackbirds
While CLC endures its O.R.
G.Y.'S Ornithology, San Fran-
Cisco State suffers its militant
blackbirds. A College Press
Service release informs us that
the campus blackbirds of San
Francisco State are apparently
intoxicating themselves on a ber-
ry that grows on campus during
the spring and summer months.
According to the campus orni-
thologist, Paul Kangas, the birds
only attack the backs of heads.
On this theory, he asserts that
"they will not attack if you look
them in the eye."
As Ol' Hickory would have
said — "They don't fire when
they see the whites of your eys."
that affect no one but ourselves while ignoring legitimate student
needs, then I maintain that those who claim student government
is meaningless and unjustified are completely correct.
When it is asked what direction the Senate is to take this year
the answer is partly founded in the recognition that the past has been
a disaster. With such past experience firmly in mind, the Senate
has already moved toward relevance. It has expressed student
opinion in its Statement of Student Purpose, acted on student needs
in voting for a food strike on October 8th and voiced student concern
for peace in approving observance of the October 15th Vietnam
Moratorium. The key word is "student." For six years student
government has not really thought in terms of "student" needs
and desires. Certainly, if the ASB has been ineffectual, its failure
has been in not assuming such a positive role. For too many years
our structure has been apart from the student body, not intimately
a part of it. The problems previously mentioned have arisen
from nothing more than a confusion of our identity and a mlslnter-
pretatlon of what it means to be a "student."
When I speak of goals, I do not use the word in the same con-
text that we have heard it from the administration for years. As
the Statement of Student Purpose clearly asserts, student goals are
not CLC goals. Except in the most broad and meaningless general,
ization, our goals are never the same. Student needs and desires
are essentially short term as contrasted to the "goals" of the
institution and administration which are long term spanning many
years. We may voice objectives which sound the same, but such ut-
terances are misleading. The manner in which a student defines the
goal of academic freedom is different than that of an administrator.
Definitions determine the meaning of the goals and, thus, we simply
do not agree. This awareness has finally allowed student govern,
ment to free itself. It has ceased to think of Itself as part of the in-
stitution. It is now free to define its own identity, propose its own
directions and respond to the needs of students as a "student"
orientated organization. This has been a significant reversal of
philosophy and the Statement of Student Purpose expresses it well.
It is with the same understanding that we have come to reject
community exists, but we can no longer conceive of one with com-
mon insights and tasks. Furthermore, there can be no community
wnen the student position in such is restricted and when mutual
respect is not an accepted axiom. The community recognized by
student government is similar to relationship between labor and
management in the business world. Both are dependent upon one
another, but enter Into negotiation with separate interests. At CLC
there is an outer circle we call community, but within there are
diverse groups (i.e. students, faculty and administration). The stu-
dent objective In such a community is to achieve a level of equality
and authority commensurate with the rights of students.
This is not a pessimistic philosophy for student government, but
rather a statement of hope. At Las Vegas I called for this new out-
look because I could not conceive of a viable student government
without it. Our objective now must be to apply the definitions we
have uncovered. We have declared ourselves separate and equal,
we must now determine what that means In terms of specific pro-
grams. We must interpret our rights as they relate to the issues
that confront us.

Senate Resolution #1
AUTHOR: Senator Johnson
TO PROVIDE FOR: An understanding of student government: Its
responsibilities to students and role In the institution.
WHEREAS: In past years student government has lacked self-
understanding and conviction of purpose; and
WHEREAS: Past failure to assert its identity and delineate its
direction, has allowed other factions (i.e. faculty and administration)
to often unilaterally define student needs and desires in determining
policy and curriculum without challenge; and
WHEREAS: Considerable administrative dialogue has been expended
on the terms "CLC goals" and "CLC community;" and
WHEREAS: Student leadership now questions whether common
"goals" can be shared when student definitions of such are essen.
tially different and when the priorities of student needs and desires
are short term rather than long; and
WHEREAS: Student leadership now questions whether a "com-
munity" can exist when the student position in such is basically in.
ferior and restricted; and
WHEREAS: A cohesive statement on student rights, objectives
and role in the Institution would appear to be the only effective res.
ponse to the previously mentioned administrative dialogue;

sociated Student Body adopt the Statement of Student Purpose as a
position consistent with the new direction in student government in

Senate Resolution #3
AUTHOR: Senator Son turn
TO PROVIDE FOR: A definite procedure for allocating ASB funds
WHEREAS: The current method of allocating funds for the Asso-
elated Student Body of California Luthran College is understood to
be based on estimates of Institutional expenses versus projected
student government needs; and
WHEREAS: Such as informal procedure of fund allocation restricts
advanced budgetary planning by the ASB and reduces student govern,
ment to the level of any other college department; and
WHEREAS: The needs and desires of students may not be defined
by student government to be compatible with those of the adminis.

WHEREAS: The present method has no Inherent safeguards

account at the year's end be credited to the next year's account
and neither returned to the college general fund nor deducted from
the next year's financial allocation.
Senate Resolution #4
AUTHOR: Nancy Dykstra
TO PROVIDE FOR: A request for an additional financial allot-
ment from the Administration
WHEREAS: The actual financial allocation to the Associated
Student Body has been considerably less than the original esti-
mates; and
WHEREAS; Such a discrepancy has caused large budgetary cuts in
areas of extensive student interest and activity;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That a request for $1,400
from the Administration be made as the minimum amount necessary
for the ASB to meet its pressing financial requirements.
"The Vietnam Moratorium Is the most significant demonstra-
tlon of opposition to the war In Viet Nam since the primary results
of 1968. It Is the only way that the people of the Country can demon,
strate a second judgment on the war In Viet Nam to those who hold
political power" — Senator Eugene I. McCarthy
In less than one week, the most extensive and most broadly based
expression of anti-war wentiment will take place. C.L.C. will Join
In this effort. The A.S.B. Senate has already passed a resolution
supporting the Vietnam Moratorium. They spoke to this Issue in the
faith that the entire Student community will share their wishes for
peace.
C.L.C. will participate, along with 500 other campuses In declar-
ing a moratorium on "business as usual" to set Oct. 15th as a day
set aside for working toward peace In Viet Narrf.
The idea of a nationwide moratorium began with three ex-workers
tor Senator Eugene McCarthy. Through the contacts the three men
developed during Sen. McCarthy's Campaign for President the idea
oi the moratorium grew.
One of the basic goals of the National Committee Is to instill in
student the belief there is still room for a grass roots movement In
political activity — that there is still room for the individual. More
than anything the day is one for individual decision and commitment.
At C.L.C we plan a program that will encourage Individual action
along with group action.
On Wed. Oct. 15th, the movie War Games will be shown. War
Games, was commissioned to be filmed by the B.B.C. After view,
lng the movie the B.B.C. decided It was too blunt and frank to be
shown to the general viewing audience. The major purpose for show,
ing this movie here is to present war in a more realistic setting
and to remove the glorified John Wayne approach to war. Follow,
lng the movie the participants In the day will be requested to write
letters to President Ntxon, and their Senators, and Congressmen.
After lunch we will march to the downtown shopping center to mall
our letters. In the evening we will gather to celebrate a Communion
for Peace. ,_

Senate Resolution #5
AUTHOR: Senator Hossler
TO PROVIDE FOR: Action to improve the food served to CLC
students
WHEREAS: The Senate recognizes that some student needs are
essentially basic and must be immediately satisfied; and
WHEREAS: The food at the CLC cafeteria is the worst in recol-
lection and is simply not palatable; and
WHEREAS: The quality of the food prepared by the CLC Food
Service raises doubts as to whether the amount paid by students
for board is actually being spent for such and whether profit is
being attempted at the expense of students; and
WHEREAS: The general unsanitary appearance of the cafeteria
is unexcusable and poses serious questions as to the standards
maintained by the Food Service; and
WHEREAS: A recent policy restricts on-campus students to eat-
ins: at the cafeteria; and
WHEREAS: Neither the students nor the Senate will be pacified
by one or two decent meals;
THERFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Senate of California
Lutheran College support a student boycott of all meals at the
CLC cafeteria on Wednesday, October 8, 1969 and longer if deemed
necessary; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT: If improvements are not
immediately made that the Senate support further moves to include
student non-payment of the portion of the Comprehensive Fee alio-
cated to board; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT: The Senate oppose any
policy which establishes as a prerequisite to on«campus living eating
in the cafeteria; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT: The undersigned Senators
and student leaders support and advocate the above and further
action in order to establish and maintain a much higher level of
food served to the students of California Lutheran College.

Dear Phil:
I have read with great Interest
the resolution signed by the stu-

leges, universities and seminar-
ies of The American Lutheran
Church, on the subject of the
war in Vietnam. I have also read
the resolution of the Senate of

the same subject. I find in these
resolutions an expression of deep
and genuine moral concern over
this continuing Vietnam conflict,
and the steps which might be ta-

lute you and those associated
with you for these efforts.
I share your desire to find ways
and means by which the desire
for peace might be expressed. It
seems right to find a way to ex-
press this at California Luther-

ty. While I am not ready to join
In advance endorsement of all
views which might be expressed,
I am ready to join in support of
this effort to bring peace and
shall encourage my colleagues to
find ways to do the same.

DRAFT
ADJUSTMENTS
FALL SHORT
(Remarks of Senator George McGovern in the U.S. Senate)
On Friday, Sept. 26, 1969, the President announced what appeared
to be a reduction of 50,000 in draft calls tor 1969. It is to be ac-
complished by cancelling the Defense Department's previously
programmed calls of 32,000 for November and 18,000 for December,
and by spreading the 29,000 October call evenly over the three
remaining months of the year.
But the reduction is an illusion. In fact, without the cuts we would
have had a massive increase in draft calls for the year as a whole.
From June through October of 1969 the total draft quota was 135,
000, compared to only 79,000 for the same period a year earlier.
The inflation of nearly 57,000 In those five months easily left room
tor a 50,000 reduction. Total draft calls for this year will be only
about 2 per cent lower than in 1968.
In effect, what appears as benevolence to the young men who
might have been taken in November and December, is no more than
an announcement that they will not be called then because they have
already gone. They were pressed into service as part of earlier
quotas.
The President also announced his intention to move forward on
draft proposals which will establish a random system of selection,
to put chance in the place of decisions presently made by some
4,000 local draft boards with the inspiration and guidance of Selec-
tive Service Director Lewis Hershey. The period of prime exposure
to Induction would be reduced from as much as seven years to twelve
months.
It Is Impossible to respond negatively to such a proposal. Indeed,
from the standpoint of the eligible pool of manpower, just about any
change in the Selective Service System would be an improvement. The
present system seems to rest on the' assumption that exposure to
compulsory military service, including a war which most Americans
now regard as a blunder, is tor some reason a healthy process for
young Americans.
General Hershey's efforts to use the draft as a punitive device
— without the delays and complications of due process — place it
even more sharply In conflict with the fundamental Ideals of a free
society. No one who believes in those ideals can find grounds for ob.
jectlon to the changes planned by the President.
But here again the illusion of meaningful action outweighs the sub.
stance. The adjustments announced leave intact the most pernicious
single aspect of the Selective Service System. With or without the
change, thousands of young American men each year will be compelled
willing or not, to serve in the armed forces. Their right to liberty,
their right to follow pursuits of their own choosing, will be denied.
Their occupations will be determined not by the incentives required
to attract manpower in the competitive market, but by the dictates
of intrusive governmental authority.
In combination with the partial troop withdrawals which are now
underway, it has been suggested that the attempt to beautify the draft
and to briefly limit its effect will muffle the voices which are calling
tor a prompt end to our involvement in Vietnamese affairs.
If that is the strategy, it is bound to fall. It amounts to a grave
miscalculation on both the motives and the perception of those who
seek a change in policy. They object not so much because of personal
costs, but because they believe In the Ideals for which they have been
told this country stands. They can see no legitimate interest in Viet-
nam which could possibly justify the loss of 40,000 lives or even the
risk of a single additional American. They can see no Interest which
demands that we neglect crushing problems at home while laying
billions of dollars at the feet of a corrupt military government 10,000
miles away. And they can see no reason why a nation founded on
liberty and professing human dignity as its goal should extract In.
voluntary service from any of its citizens.
The draft will not be acceptable until it is gone. The war in Viet,
nam will not be acceptable until it is over.
We have waited too long on both.
Thirty Students
Aided By ACT
From financial aid grants totaling $15,000 provided by a program
begun last vear bv the Lutheran Church In America ("Act In Cri-
ses Today"), it is being made possible for thirty CLC students
from minority or lower-economic environments to obtain a nigner
education through opportunity grants.
These opportunity grants from ACT are being administered to
youth all over California by the Pacific Southwest Synod of the LCA.
They are just part of a $6,500,000 special action drive on the part of
LCA congregations throughout the nation. ACT's objectives are to
provide less fortunate people with emergency supplies of food, and
tor low-cost housing, Job opportunity centers, scholarships for
seminarians, and better opportunities for qualified high school stu-
dents seeking college educations.
Last year in Atlanta, Georgia, the ACT program had its birth
when delegates to the 1968 LCA Convention there decided that Lu-
theran churches had a responsibility to involve themselves in a
special drive for funds to meet the ever-lncreaslng crisis in the
United States. For as St. John wrote in the New Testament: "If
a man has enough to live on, and yet when he sees his brother
in need shuts up his heart against him, how can it be said that the
love of God dwells In him? Love must not be a matter of words
or talk; it must be genuine and show itself in action." This piece
of scripture became the background for the ACT program.
Contributions to ACT may be made at any LCA church. Specially
designated envelopes are available for this purpose.
AMERICA:
Land Of
Equality
By Larry Crouch
What is the real situation in
America? Is there really racial
equality or have you been blind-
ly deluded by the white lie of the
day: "Things aren't that bad"
or "It just takes time." Don't
be pulled into believing that
"things aren't that bad" be-
cause they are. Become inform-
ed, be ready to do something about
Society's standards that are
cheating you and feeding you lies
upon lies.
You're probably wondering —
that is if you've got any guts at
all — what you can do. The first
thing you can do is come to the
Avant.Unity meeting Monday
night, October 13th at 7:30 in
the Little Theatre (tentative) and
get an idea of how things rpally
are.
Find out that things aren't
that "good" and that "things
just aren't gonna -wait." Find out
why you, collectively and Indivi-
dually, can't afford to wait any
longer. It's not too late yet, but
the crises in black and white
America is about as far as it
will go. The situation could blow
completely out of control with-
out some immediate help from
you — YES, YOU1II!
Don't think that you can't help
by yourself because you can —
that is, if you've got the guts to
find out how.

Several years ago, quality reporting was
an important part of the Echo tradition; but,
this quality has since disappeared due to an
increase in relational problems internal to
the ECHO staff. As the 'turnover of a new
staff took place last spring (1969) , I
acquired the position of Advertising Manager.
At the beginning of this year, I quickly
realized the lack of an organized Advertising
Department, and have since greatly increased
the efficient availability of advertising
information. Upon the completion of the
First Issue, the Editor elected for the
'69-' 70 College Year became aware that he
would be unable to continue as Editor for
personal reasons . After the proper channels
had been notified, I was appointed Editor
Temporae; until, at a proper time, a new
Editor for the '69-' 70 College Year would be
elected by the Student Publications
Commission. The Second Issue appeared as a
product of the resigned Editor, the Editor
Temporae, and a make-shift staff. Upon
completion of the Second Issue, I solidified
a working staff and undertook the necessary
responsibilities in conjunction with the com-
position of a Third Issue. Upon realizing
the dire necessity of an Editor capable of
organizing and executing a newspaper with the
potential of our yet-fully-realized ECHO, I
filed application for the Editorship of the
Mountclef ECHO.
Having already established relationships
with members of the News Chronicle (an
established newspaper) and with students on
the present staff, the coming year promises
to see the foundational groundwork laid for
a long awaited CLC newspaper.

WOMEN'S RIGHTS
(revisited)
Dear Editor or to whom it may
concern;
In the last Issue of the Mont-
clef Echo, (Vol. K, No. 2, Oc-
tober 2, 1969) there appeared
an article entitled Women's
Rights. When this particular arti-
cle was published, it was not
stated who the author was. Since
I was the author, I was rather
upset to discover this fact. The
main reason I wrote the article
was so that my constituency would
be aware of my position, opi-
nions, and feelings. Now they
know that someone feels that
way but not that it is their of.
flr.ial representative.
May I also point out that there
were twenty-seven articles In
the last issue of the Echo and
only nine of those articles were
attributed to a specific author.
Thank you,
Candy Maitland
A WS President.
Dear Candy;
Many times it is
the policy of a news-
paper not to print
any by-lines, other
times a by-line on
an article is quit
necessary. A by-
line on your article
would have been very
proper and correct.
However, due to a
temporary change in
the Editorship of
this newspaper, your
article was not pro-
perly by-lined. We
are sorry for the in-
convenience it may
have placed upon you
and will try to be
more alert in the
future .

Anti-War Sentiment At CLC
(Continued from page 2)
The New Republic — A Journal of Politics and the Arts stated in
their editorial on Sept. 20, 1969, "The university is not normally
organized — and in our opinion should not normally be organized
— to function as a political institution. But these times are abnor-
mal. It is the principal custodian of the public interest — the poli-
ticians — who are most responsible for that, not the democratic
process, to demostrate the power of persuasion. We hope that every
member of the academic community from the youngest freshman
to the august college president and trustee will n.ove into the breach.
The planned one-day National Convocation of the Community of
scholars on October 15th, is this opportunity. Seize it."
The Vietnam Moratorium Committee is asking C.L.C. students
to cancel classes on Oct. 15th and to go into the community and
bring the argument for peace to the people. Now is he time for
students to act, for it is now that they can have their greatest ef.
feet. Let us end apathy at C.L.C. and in the nationl Make a move
for peace on October 15.

UNITE FOR PEACE
( Continued from page 1)
classes on October 15, to allow for the participation of the Student
Body and the faculty in a day for peace sponsored by the Viet
Nam Moratorium Committee."
C.L.C.'s student Senate and executive board have given their sup-
port. It is now time for the student body to speak out actively. On
Friday in the Mountclef Foyer there will be balloting on the question
of wnether or not to cancel classes on Oct. 15th. My hope is that you
will vote for cancellation of classes as a matter of priority. Be-
cause of the universal effect that Viet Nam has had on all Americans
this day is set aside for all of us to express our opinions. It is a
chance for all of us to show our desire for peace and an urgent hope
for stopage of the war in Viet Nam.
There were those on the faculty who felt you were maybe being
cheated by not getting your full fifty two days (or wnatever) of
classroom activity. What they failed to see is that this institution
has been cheating students for years by its failure to address Itself
to the important issue of the day which confronts students. By its
failure to get involved In the Society around it.
In my .opinion Oct. 15th will be the most academically sound day
of the wnole school year. It is a day in which you will be making per.
sonal judgments and personal committments. Oct. 15th will be a day
of films and speakers, prayers, and Communion. It will be a day of
study both inwardly and worldly.
Above all it will be a day of activism.
As I have already said it is my hope that on this Friday you will
vote yes to cancel classes. I do want to stress though that if you vote
yes you are personally committing yourself to an Academic day
seeking an end to the War in Viet Nam.
I share the hone of Senator George S. McGovern when he said. "I
hope that the Moratorium observance will make clear to the adminis.
tration that in the continuance of this senseless bloodshed lies the
seed of National tragedy. It is an effort which merits the responsible
participation of all Americans who are anxious to reverse a doIIcv
of military attrition and moral disaster."
Work for Peace
On October 15
Gerald S. Rea
October 15th: a day for radical epithets against society and our
government? Not really. Call it a day designated for a popular ex.
pression of a desire for the end of the war, and end to death on the
battlefield, an end to grief at home.
Did you ever wonder what goes through the mind of a young
soldier In Vietnam as he lays bleeding to death thousands of miles
away from his home and loved ones? His feeling is not new, that
is for certain. People have been killing each other for a long time.
As his blood runs Into the waters of an Asian rice paddy his mind
is filled with the futility of war. Hallucinations of life-long memories,
people, Mom and Dad, and God fill his head until all too quickly
the curtain falls — the play is over — a flop In the first act. Should
we continue to allow the Vietnam Theatre to snuff out the lives of
a promising cast in the Play of Life?
Peace is an overused word. Eternal peace is probably impossible
on earth for the simple reason that there will always be the ag-
gressor and his victim. Self-defense Is forgiveable, but is Vietnam?
To use October 15th as anything but a constructive day for pc ce
would be a sin; not against God as much as a sin against the fa. .en
bodies of men, women, and children In Vietnam as well as Vater-
loo or Jericho. Those of you who might be tempted to hit the beach,
sleep, get loaded or drunk should try Involvement this time. It
might be a real trip.

Dr. Ernest Labrenz, Jr., comes to CLC from Lutheran High School
in Los Angeles and Harbor Junior College. He obtained his B.S.
degree from Concordia College in Seward, Nebraska, in 1954; both
his MA and his PhD were earned at USC. With extensive background
in tiie field of the theater, he brings his experience to students at
CLC in his Theory of the Drama Class. In the spring quarter, he
will be taking the Shakespeare class.
Dr. Herbert H. Umback participates this year in the professor-
exchange program with Valparaiso that was begun a few years ago
between CLC and Valpo. Receiving his diploma from Concordia
Junior College in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in 1926, he went on to gra-
duate from Concordia Theological Seminary in St. Lewis in 1929.
He was awarded his MA from Washington University in 1930 and
his PhD from Cornell University in 1934. Since 1934, he has been a
professor at Valparaiso University. At CLC, he teaches the English
survey course.
Mrs. Karyn R. Pederson comes to CLC as another recruit from
Valparaiso. She received her MA from the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill. At the student retreat, she apparently
confused several CLC'ers as to whether she was a student or facul-
ty.
Sociology:
Dr. Mary Margaret Thomas provided a welcome change for the
previously understaffed sociology department. She graduated from
the College of St. Benedict In St. Joseph, Minnesota and then pro-
ceeded to obtain her MA and PhD from USC. Before coming to the
Kingsmen campus, she was an assistant professor at the School of
Social Welfare at USC.
Mathematics:
Mr. David Wong, the new addition to the math department, re-
ceived his degrees from UCLA In 1966. He has taught at the Pacific

Review Of A Review
by Beki Frock
"Alice's Restaurant." Produc-
ed by Hillard Elklngs and Joe
Manduke. Directed by Arthur
Penn. Starring Arlo Guthrie,
Pat Quinn and James Broderick.
Released by United Artists.
A review by Bill Sievert of the
College Press Service on this
current cinema attraction has
given me no choice but to com-
ment on the film and the record,
ing of "Alice's Restaurant."
According to Mr. Sievert, the
film is a disappointment to those
fans of the recording. He had
hoped for a slap-stick comedy
because the considers the song to
be "very funny." Sievert writes
"But the humor is secondary to
the serious, sad and often depres-
sing side of Arlo Guthrie's ad-
ventures ..." I would suggest
rather, that this Is the exact
focus of the song — a sad real-
ity interjected with humor.
My only contact with the film
itself was an excerpt viewed
on the "Merv Griffin Show."
It was the draft-board scene and
I did find it to be humorous —
but humorous in a very real
sense. It was the humor that re-
sults from laughing at absurd
realities of our modern world.
Mr. Sievert, In my opinion,
is not aware of these finer sub-
tleties of the recording when he
writes that "Alice's Restaurant"
Is not a slap-stick, hilarious se-
quel to the song. "Alice's Res-
taurant," as a song, Is not slap-
stick— it is a song of the serious
yet humorous absurdities of our
contemporary systems.
Who, then, would expect any.
thing different from the movie?

CLUBS
Joan Ericson
The twenty girls who appeared at school Monday did not just
happen to shop at the same store while buying their fall wardrobes.
They are members of CLC's chapter of National Spurs, the sopho-
more women's service club, which Is celebrating Its third year at
CLC. These girls were chosen in the spring and have been organiz-
ing under the leadership of their President, Carol Lund. Other
officers chosen by the group before the summer were Vice-Presi-
dent Mlndy Dunderland; Maren Radke, Secretary; Nancy Stocklnger,
Treasurer; Elizabeth Wilcockson, Historian; Joan Ericson, Editor,
and Jane Beckman, songleader.
Spur members give much of their time to serving the school.
Already they have helped by ushering at the Opening Convocation,
by serving at the reception for the football players' parents after
the game against Redlands, and Spurs also served at the President's
annual reception. This year they plan to continue tutoring the girls
at the Unfinished Symphony Home for Girls in Agoura. Throughout
the year, Spurs will be sponsoring service projects and will also
be selling donuts and fruit in the dorms one night a week as a fund-
raising project, and they hope it will be a spirit-raising one as well
for those who want an excuse for a study break.

mentioned to fill the other date. A Hay ride or an Ice Cream Feast
are two of the possibilities.
Looking into the near future, the Class of '72 has the opportunity
to bring the fantastic hypnotist, Mr. George Sharp, back to C.L.C.

FRESHMEN GAIN YELL LEADERS
For the first time in Cal Lutheran's history, the Freshman foot-
ball team will have its own cheerleaders. Don Marsic, a member
of the Knaves, instigated the idea and supervised the final selec-
tion made by members of the Freshman team.
Try-outs were held In the Mountclef Foyer, Thursday evening,
October 2. The girls tried out In small groups and performed the
Cal Lutheran yell. Final selection was based on ability, enthusiasm,
appearance, adaptability, and spirit. Those chosen were: Mary
Warden.Head, Pam Grorud, Jeri Johnson, and Katie Schnell.
The main purpose of the Freshman cheerleaders Is to promote
support for the Frosh team. They will attend all Freshr. 0*mes
and In general, serve to increase spirit and enthusiasm for Frosh
football.
Another tremendous drama
club meeting was held Tuesday
September 30, at 7:30 p.m. In
that lush plush "Little Thea-
tre" our own Broadway. Thou-
sands thronged the opening but
only a select few were finally
admitted. The returning stars
were welcomed by their fans.
Mr. Don Haskell, our ex-mouse-
keteer (remember .Donnie?) ex-
cited all the new prospects with
his normal tact and grace. Among
the torrid topics discussed were:
the drama banquet, the initiation
of eligible members Into the
drama fraternity, and last but not
least, the upcoming productions.
Thkee shows have already been
cast. The mainstage production of
this quarter, "The Birds," Is a
comedy by Aristophanes which
features Gary Odom, Rick Rull-
man, Penny Keuser, and a bevy
of eager freshman. The chil-
dren's theatre highlights the
story of the "Brave Little Tay-
lor," and the church drama will
be fortunate enough to tour San
Francisco in the upcoming weeks.
For those of you who feel left
out, there is still one more chance
to get into this exciting field of
endeavor. The drama club's own
production of "Ladies in Retire-
ment" will not be cast until
October 21 and 22. Try-outs are
open to the entire student body.
So. . . if you are still reluctant-
ly waiting in the wings, there
is still a chance for fame, star-
dom, and Intellectual stimulation.
As yet there are only a number
of limited vacancies In our club,
but there still may be a spot for
you. So make yourself available
the night of October 14 for the
next EXCITING drama club meet-
lng. FUN, FUN, FUN. . . Need
we say more?

'Malcolm X' Author To Speak
Alex Haley, Internationally
known writer, world traveler and
a great platform favorite, comes
to the Gym at CLC on Wednes.
day evening, October 22, to speak
before the Public.
Hailed as "a master story-
teller" for his knack of hold,
ing audiences spell-bound, Alex
Haley has the gift of saying strong
things in a quiet way. An inde-
pendent thinker, he brings the
perspectives of history and tra-
vel to the social crises of our
day.
Alex Haley had written nun-
dreds of magazine articles be-
fore his first book, the award-
winning classic "The Autobio-
graphy of Malcolm X." This
book remains a top best-seller
after four years with over one
million copies being read in
translations in eight languages.
Malcolm X's life now is being
made into a motion picture bas-
ed on the book.
Haley's second book, to be pub-
lished in Spring, 1970, is an un-
precedented tracing and docu-
menting of an unbroken nine gene-
rations of his own maternal fami-
ly's history back to a tiny Gam-
bia, Africa, village and a Man-
dinka tribal family circa 1700.
Haley doggedly pursued slender
linguistic clues through seven
years of field and primary re-
search in North America, Eu-
rope and finally West African
bush country. Haley's work, even
before its publication, is being
hailed as a "genealogical mira-

Camarillo Experience
Valuable To Students

Every Sunday morning a group
of students from California Lu-
theran College visits the chil-
dren's unit of the Camarillo State
iio&picai. For twohoui « liniy Uiik,
walk, sing, and play with the chil-
dren showing friendship and con.
cern.
Cal Lutheran student volun-
teers claim that their exper-
iences at the mental hospital are
very worthwhile and rewarding.
Former C.L.C. student, Linda
Gawthorne, having visited Cama-
rillo regularly for nearly two
years stated, ". . . I wouldn't
miss going for anything — well,
Horse
Feathers
With
Duck Soup
Sunday, October 19th, the Con-
cert-Lecture Committee Dre.
sents its second film program
of the year. After a smashing
well-attended success with Spar-
tacus last Friday night, the new
presentation will consist of two
Marx Brothers comedy films,
"Duck Soup," and "Horse Fea-
thers." The time of the showing
will be 8 p.m. in the Gym.
In Horse Feathers, the Marx
Brothers win a college yell of
roaring approval as they clown
with the coeds, pester the profs
and caper over the Campus while
turning a championship football
game Into a rollicking riot.
In Duck Soup, in attempting
to prevent revolution in Fre.
donia, land of the spree and home
of the knave, the Marx Brothers
start a riotous war of their own
against a rival knigdom. A co.
medy classic that will live on for
decadesl
almost anything. I fell down the
dorm stairs one Sunday and broke
my glasses; I did miss that time."
Miss Gawthorne also told of a
uoi .aai visit to Camarillo: "As
we drive up we see Sherrie — she
always waits for us in the play
yard. The first thing she says
is, "Are you coming next week?"
And when we reassure her that
we are, she exclaims, "Oh, Boy,"
Sherrie seems to mark the pass,
ing of her weeks by our coming
and going - she has really noth-
ing else to look forward to.
As we ring the bell at the door,
all the children gather by it
waiting for us. Pam is the first
one there — she's 13, big, un-
gainly, and just plain ugly. Es-
pecially after she gave herself
a haircut. But we all love her.
Colene is also speedy in getting
to us — she's so afraid of being
rejected. She is a beautiful little
girl of 8, very inquisitive and
what a chatterbox.
Then there Is Laurie, a shy,
sweet little girl of 8. Laurie is
my "special" friend and soon
as she sees me she runs up and
puts her hand in mind. Laurie
has a baby doll which she loves
dearly but at times she'll hit or
hurt it and then laugh. It makes
me wonder if her parents punish-
ed her in this way. Last there Is
Mary, who looks like a china doll
with her black hair and fair skin.
She's just a little bit of a thing.
I want so badly to get close to her
but she won't let anyone touch
her and when you speak to her,
she repeats what you say. It
excited everybody when Mary
sat on our Santa Claus* lap."
Do you have two hours a week
to give to a friend? If you do,
meet In Alpha Foyer Sunday
morning at 10:00.
This week's response was ex.
cellent. About thirty students
found the time to go to Camarillo
Sunday. If this enthusiasm conti.
nues, the program will be expand-
ed to Include a boy's ward.
The girls at Camarillo look
forward to each visit anxiously.
They ask the volunteers to come
back Sunday after Sunday. If you
can find the time, why don't you
come Sunday? It will be a most
rewarding experience. Think
about it. . .
Influenza Vaccine
Offered Students
An anti-flu vaccine will be
available this week to students
at California Lutheran College,
announced Naomi Benson, cam.
pus nurse.
The new virus vaccine, Fluo.
gen, offers maximum protection
against influenza, with a mini,
mum chance of reaction, said
Miss Benson.
Fluogen provides protection
against both Hong Kong and Asian
strains of Influenza.
It will be available to C.L.C.
students on Friday from 2 to 5
p.m. at the Student Health Serv.
ice. The cost is $1.25 per Injec
tlon.
According to Miss Benson, the
Injections are optional, and if
a student had the initial series
or a booster last year, only a
single booster Is needed this
year.
For a person who missed hav.
ing a booster last year or has
never been immunized against
influenza, it will be necessary
to have a series of two Injec
tions this year. Notification of
the second injection will be made
by the Student Health Service.
Further information may be
obtained by calling ext. 145 or

Associated Student Body
SENATE
Concert And Lecture
Membership Changed
A realignment in student mem.
bership and financial support of
the College Committee on Con.
certs and Lectures was passed
last Thursday by the Associa.
ted Student Body Senate.
This resolution was authored
by LeRoy Rehrer who stated that
the associated Student Body
would continue to recognize the
academic and cultural promo-
tions of the College Committee on
Concerts and Lectures as legiti-
mate student concerns.
He also stated that the ASB
does not desire, at this point,
to establish an independent stu-
dent operated and funded speak,
er-lecture program although pro-
posals have been forwarded urg.
ing the ASB to withdraw mone-
tary and personnel support from
the Concert. Lecture Committee.
Although the Academic-Social
fee has been heavily used for the
Concert. Lecture Committee's
program, it is to be considered
as ASB monetary source and ta-
ken together with the direct con.
tribution from the ASB budget
accounts for more than three
quarters of the committee's fund-
ing.
Student membership on the
Committee is presently limited
to one third of the total members
and all programs and speakers
of the Concert-Lecture Commit,
tee must be viewed and evaluated
to the contemporary and relevant
educational needs of the student.
As the needs of the students
cannot adequately be defined as
long as students can be overrul.
ed in the selection of programs
and speakers, the ASB regards
such an arrangement as unjust
and indefensible in an area of
such intense student interest.

whom the gods changed to a hoc

Tereus and all his bird-compa-

barrier between the earth and
the gods, refusing to allow sa-

unless people pay tribute to the
birds. Even the gods must rea.
lize the birds as rulers or else
the birds can starve the gods,

Eichman Resigns From S.P.C.
I formerly submit this letter
to the Student Publications Com.
mission, the student senate, and.
any other interested parties.
I was appointed to the Student
Publications Commission in the
Spring of 1969, since that time I
have witnessed very little dealing
with student publications; instead
there has been a constant per-
sonality struggle both from with-
in the commission, and outside of
that commission. During this
time there have been six people
chosen bv the commission as edi-
tors of the Campanile and Echo.
In the Spring, Mary Dversdall,
and Adele Broas were selected
as editors of this years Campa.
nile. They were selected on a
sound basis, unfortunately at this
time the SPC ceased operating
as a responsible organization.
Chris Walker was selected as
Editor of the Echo; he was not
approved by the Student Senate.
Bill Bowers was selected as Edi-
tor of the Echo; he was approved
by the Student Senate. On Septem-
ber 30, 1969 Bill Bowers resigned
for personal and academic rea-
sons; the commission met on Oc-
tober 1, 1969 and appointed Doug
Hurley as Editor Temporae.
On October 9, 1969 the SPC met
to select a permanent editor, in
a five to two vote with one ab-
stention Doug Hurley was select-
ed. The Student Senate referred
his appointment back to the SPC
pending further investigation.
It is my belief that an editor
should be chosen on the basis
>f 1) qualifications /experience,
») the philosophical directions
the publication would take, and 3)
the personal integrity of the edi-
tor himself. This was the basis
for selection of Adele and Mary
only. The battle for editorship
of the Echo has evolved into a
battle of personal attacks, and
dirty politics.
For these reasons I resign as
a member of the 1969-1970 Student
Publications Commission. I do
this with regret that things
couldn't have been different, and
strongly feel that under present
conditions no one will be selected
on the proper basis. I do not wish
to be Involved in something as
irrational, unorganized, and far-

JEAN BLOMQUIST UP FOR
SENATORIAL CANDIDACY
Jean Blomquist is one of ten freshmen
running for Senator. Why has she risen
to this challenge? In her own words, "I
have a sincere desire to take an active
part' in student government here at CLC."
She has attended a majority of the
Senate meetings and has become acquainted
with several Senators, ASB officers, and
other students leaders. Thus, she is
becoming familiar with- the issues con-
cerning the students and the college.
"Fine," you say, "but is she quali-
fied?" Consider the facts: She has been
ASB President of her high school and Junioi
Class President. She also served -on the
California Student Advisory Board on Edu-
cation and the California Association of
Student Councils. All this adds up to
three active years on Student Council.
Miss Blomquist summarizes her ob-
jectives: "I acknowledge the challenge
of representing others. I've done it
before and I'd like the opportunity to
do it aqain. "
(Submitted by the committee to elect
Jean Blomquist Fr. Senator)
cical as the present Student rtib-
lications Commission.
I leave with one suggestion.
That the present commission for.
get about the Echo for now, and
instead devote full energies to-
ward forming a solid policy guide,
and constitution. This would take
care of such problems as vot-
ing procedures, who is and isn't
eligible to run for the editorship,
a fair and reasonable process of
judging the applicants, etc. After
having done this the present com-
mission should be disbanded,
there should be an ASB election
for a new SPC commissioner,
a new commission should be
selected, and on the basis of a
strong and equitable policy guide
select an editor fortheMountclef
Echo.

Last Thursday night, when the Senate
met in K-l, an Editor for the ECHO was
not approved. Since an Editor was not
disapproved, I was appointed Editor
Temporae for an additional week.
One topic which has not been men-
tioned is the goals which we, on the
present temporary staff, are already
striving to achieve. Here are a few
of these goals:
1£ New Editors; Humanities, Social
Science, and Natural Science Editors
to bring to the students relevant aca-
demic studies, classes, and speakers
who will help arrouse some intellectual
discussion about issues in the paper.
2) Journalism Class; the possibility
of bringing a Journalism Class on cam-
pus sometime in the future, provided
there would be enough student interest
to make it feasible.
3) More comprehensive participation
program.
4) Professional Advisor; and
5) Enlarged facilities.
The next issue will be incorperating
several of these ideas.

Student Initiate
Gains Support
The outcome of Student Initi-
ative Number One is the sole
responsibility of the Associated
Students of California Lutheran
College. Whether or not the initi-
ative is voted upon, approved and
enacted lies totally in the stu.
dents support.
ASB President, Phil Reitan,
stated that "the rejection of the
in loco parentis approach to edu.
cation and the institutionalization
of that theory" was one of the
greatest reasons to support this
first student initiative. He further
stated: "The premise that a
school operates 'in place of the
parent' may have some validity
for the early years of a child's
schooling. But now, day by day,
this theory is being challenged
— even at junior high school
levels. While supposedly inferior
— non-college young adults have
lived unhampered by fatherly ad-
vice in urban communities, the
young elite of exactly the same
age have lived under exceeding,
ly unadult circumstances here at
CLC. Ironically the freedom at
this college has often been less
than experienced in high school."
ASB Vice-President, David
Lewis, in regard to the "in loco
parentis" restriction stated that
it is "morally, legally and aca-
demically unjust."
He went on to another point
that "our conduct (at CLC) is
governed by what I (David Lewis)
term the Christian ethic. The
administration assumes to know
what is Christian and arbitra-
rily imposes its understanding
on students in the form of social
rules and restrictions."
It is the Vice-President's con-
tendon that the "college is not
to be the paternal guardian over
the moral, intellectual and social
activities of the student. In deed,
it is the right of students to be
free from such restrictions if
the essence of academic free-
dom is to hold any meaning. If
the student is to learn the proc-
ess of self-direction in pursuing
his ideas, the context of his ac
tivities must be freedom rather
than restriction. Of what value
is our assertion that we must
be free to examine all beliefs,
if we submit to being locked
up and separated? Certainly, be-
cause we attend a private insti.
tution does not mean that we
abdicate our rights and relin-
quish our freedoms."
As AWS President, Candy Mait-
land, strongly supports this first
student initiative: "I (Candy Mait.
land) am in support of the initl-
ative and petition now in circu-
lation and also of the referen-
dum taking place on Thursday
(today). This issue cannot be
limited to the women students of
this campus. It is an issue which
concerns all the students on this
campus. The women students are
not a special interest group,
their needs and desires are the
same as the men students."
After stating that she felt that
the "proper channel" was being
used to rectify the situation,
Candy urged "all students to sign
the petition and to support the
referendum."
Phil Reitan also believes that
"a student initiative is the most
proper and legal way to change
the present hour regulations."
As stated in the Constitution
of the Associated Student Body
(Article VII, Section 1 . Initia.
tive): "Upon petition of 10 per
cent of the Student Body, an
initiative measure must be placed
before the Student Body immed-
iately in an election for approval
by a majority of those voting.
If approved, that legislation shall
go into effect immediately."
The points presented in Student
Initiative No. 1 are as follows:
The students of California Lul
theran College desire to resolve
the issue of women's dormitory
hours openly.
Policies which are meant to
force obedience to a moral code
(Continued on page 3)
Wednesday, October 15, 1969,
was a day much planned for and
anticipated with mixed emotions.
The central theme for Peace
Moratorium Wednesday was in-
volvement in activities toward
peace in Vietnam.
The peace centered schedule
of events began at 9: 30 in the CUB
and fire circle with an hour of
making posters and writing let.
ters to various Congressmen and
to President Nixon. Letter writ-
ing paper, envelopes, and ad.
dresses were available in the
CUB. Many took this opportunity
to express their personal reac
tions pro and con concerning the
I United States troops in Vietnam
. and there were also numerous
letters written expressing rea.
sons for participation in the af.
teraoon march. One letter writ,
ten by Melinda Millerman, CLC
Junior, to her Congressman John
J. McFall, stated a sentiment
repeated by many others. It read
"Our students are marching to
encourage peace," and instead of
undercutting President Nixon's
peace efforts, Melinda, along with
other students were marching to
show their concern of being the
instigators of peace.
The Game of War
The fact that this BBC com.
missioned film was banned from
being shown on television be-
cause of its impact was made
clear as the terrible reality of
this Cinema Technique award
winner was revealed to us. Al.
though it concerned the hypo,
thetical occurrance of a Thermo-
nuclear war between England
and Russia, the results of the
ensuing nuclear bombing on the
citizens of England were grotes-
quely shocking. Based on the
bombings of Hiroshima and Naga-
saki during World War n, the ef-
fects on the people and property
were realistically portrayed.
The first and most significant
reaction was total confusion all
over the country. Because of the
uninformed populace, the 2V2 to
3 minute warning gave little time
for preparation against the
bombs. As a result, the fire
storms and radioactive fall-out
were too strong a force against
the limited fall-out shelters and
general optimistic attitude about
war. As one interviewed woman
said, "No, there won't be a war.
I'm quite convinced of that." That
the Ecumenical Councils can be
so naive about the entire situa-
tion is also sad. One stand con-
cerning nuclear bombs read that
we do not need to love nuclear
bombs, but we must live with them
as long as they are clean and of
a good family. Other revealing
characteristics of our society
were seen in the care taken to pre.
serve marriage licenses after the
hope of saving people diminished.
Even though we are intellec
tually in a nuclear age, emotion,
ally we are still back in the stone
age. This is demonstrated

The
'Pink House
Experience
Every Wednesday evening for
an hour between 9:00 and 10:00
there is an opportunity to en.
counter the living Jesus Christ
as revealed by the Holy Spirit
in the Bible.
On October 29, Bob Swindle,
pastor of a non-denomi national
church in Van Nuys will speak.
Geoff Sarkissian, a Junior at
UCSB will be at the pink house
on November 5. On November
12, Dr. Ray Rempt, Ph. D. in
Physics from UCLA and Youth
Director at Prince of Peace Lu-
theran Church in Costa Mesa will

ber 19 is open for a variety of
other teachers.
On Friday nights there is cur.
rently a Bible study of Jesus as
the fulfillment of the Jewish Mes.
siah as presented by Tim Weir.
These meetings have been or.
ganized by individual Christian
students at CLC who want to help
make your lives more meaning,
ful. Want to hear and study the
Word of God? Want to deepen
your relationship with the Lord?
Welcome to the pink house.
Chicken-Coops,
A Stable And A
, Coffee House
The Coffee House of CLC has
been an idea and a hope for three
years. This year it will become
a reality. Concrete plans are un.
derway for a November opening.
An interview with Terry Rakow,
CUB director and coffee house
co-ordinator, has brought many
new ideas and plans to the sur.
face.
The foundation for the cof-
fee house has been built for some,
time now on CLC property. The
Janss Corporation donated a thir.
ty-year old stable for the Coffee
House to the CLC students. Spe.
cial permission for use of the
building was required because
of its age. The Thousand Oaks
City Council has granted at least
five years use to the college.
Architectural plans for con-
struction of the Coffee House
show detailed planning on the
part of those involved. Accord,
ine to the plans, the stable will
be sectioned into two parts with
approximately twenty feet of ad.
ded length built between the two
sets of stalls. On each side of
the stable are three stalls, all
with a specific use intended.
Three stalls will be conference
rooms, one will be the snack-bar
another the stage area, and the
sixth, the restrooms.
The decor will be "authentic
stable" with the exception of the
snack-bar which must meet more
contemporary health standards.
The snack-bar will serve coke,
coffee, ice cream, donuts, pop-
corn and hot dogs. As the Cof.
fee House comes under the Col.
lege Union System and is main-
tained through student personnel,
the food will not.be courtesy of
the cafeterias' food service.
An opening activity under con.
sideration is an initia l.carving
party. One entire wall will be
used solely for the carving of
students' Initials. Other sug.
gested activities are poster paint,
ing, wall painting (with washable
paints), lectures, dances, mo-
vies (cartoons once a week) and
rap sessions.
Hours will be from 7 p.m. to
11 p.m. on week-nights and 7 p.m.
to 2 a.m. on week-ends. It will
be available to on-campus groups
desiring to hold day-meetings
there.

THE MOUNTCLEF ECHO
DRAMA SPOTLIGHT
Ladies
"...God"
Odom Leads p|ay
With
Pisthetarins
For all of CLC's avid theater fans, Gary Odom
is a well known figure In all areas of Drama.
Beginning with a small comedy role in "South
Pacific" his Sophomore year, Gary develoDed a
flair for livening up villain roles with his ample
wit and hilarious pantomime. The list of his thea-
ter credits is endless, but here is just a taste of
his comedy accomplishments: Charlie Cowell, anvil
salesman (villain) in "Music Man;" Gremlo, the
dirty old man in "Taming of the Shrew;" the ludi.
crous General McBoom in " Pantagleise, " who
satirizes the military mentality better than could
any words; Corporal Schultz, the bumbling Ger.
man guard of a prisoner.of.war camp in "Stalag
17;" "Sound of Music's" arrogant HerrZeller, who
shouted "Hell Hitler" whenever at loss for words;
in this summer's musical comedy "Pajama Game"
the authoritarian Mr. Hassler, president of Sleep-
tite Pajama Factory, who was paranoid of his em.
ployees and in the part of William the "gay,"
flower-eomedy.relief in "The Drunkard," the sum.
mer melodrama on temperance.
To this impressive comedy background, Gary
now adds the lead role in Aristophanes, "The
Birds," playing October 24, 25, 31 and November
1 and 2 in the Little Theater at 8:15.
Pisthetarius, the comic lead, is a challenging
role because of the many extremes within the cha.
racter's personality. He comes from Athens to es-
cape the follies of civilization and rebellion of the
birds against the gods and mankind. His illogical
but moving arguments for bird.supremacy, his
mock.sympathy for the "degradation" of the birds'
present situation; his confused leadership in the
planning of Cloudcuckooland (a combination castle
for the birds and barrier between earth and hea.
ven). his side-splitting horror interlopers appear
in his newly created utopia-all demand a combi-
nation of wit, sarcasm, and bouyant humor. Gary
Odom, already disrupting rehearsals by keeping
the cast rolling with laughter, is well on his way
to bringing Pisthetarius to life.
Retire To Goes On
Tour
That's
you
What is "Ladies in Retire-
ment?" You've been seeing signs
all over the campus announcing
its advent upon CLC. They were
a little hard to understand, but
if you recognized Miss Penny
Keuser's handwriting (she's pub-
licity chairman for the Drama
Club) you knew that it's happen,
ing with the "in" group,
the Drama Club, in case
didn't know.
"Ladles in Retirement" is a
show that is being done entire-
ly by the Drama Club students.
Try-outs were held Tuesday and
Wednesday under the auspices
of director Don Haskell. Six ta-
lented women and one lucky male
received the hard.fought-for
parts. Here are the facts you'll
want to know "Ladies in Retire-
ment" will be presented In the
Little Theater on December 5th
and 6th (but don't plan ahead so
well that you overlook "The
Birds")!
Since most have never heard of
Edward Percy's and Reginald
Denham's masterpiece, here is
a brief description of the story.
"Ladies in Retirement" is a fan-
tastic psychological mystery co-
medy drama with tragic over-
tones and reeking of suspensel

Senior Class
Shows Action
On October 7, the first meet,
ing of the Senior class officers
was held. If the enthusiasm ex.
hiblted by the class officers is
an indication of the seniors' wil-
lingness to work, then this can
be a great year. Our first pro-
ject as a class will be a pep
rally at Shakey*s Pizza Par-
lor on November 6. Something
new will be added to CLC's pep
rallys on this night. For the
first time, the Knave Rookie Show
will be performed for the stu-
dent body at large. In the past
this annual event has been put
on for the football players the
night before the Alumni game.
Also, a Dallas Cowboys* high-
light film and the Simon Fra-
zier Game film will be shown.
Homecoming festivities begin
the week of November 10th
through the 15th and the Senior
class will be selling mums for
the dance and game. Cathy Ro-
man will be in charge of this
project.
January 17th is another calen.
dar date for the Senior class
which may be used for a Tahi-
dan Night In the gym. This even
would include authentic Tahidan
dancers doing the traditional fire
dance and their famous belly
dance. This activity has not been
confirmed yet because that day
may also be used for a special
class function off campus.
We are in the process of start,
ing a Management Intern Pro.
gram at CLC which will pro.
vide meaningful employment for
our graduates and possibly sum.
mer employment for undergra.
duates. Paul Blodget, vice.presi.
dent of the Senior class, has been
in to talk with Hal Kambeck, the
school comptroller, and the out-
look on a program of this na-
ture are promising. Also we are
expecting assistance from the
director of the Management In-
tern program at Stanford Uni.
verslty. We are also working
on having a Career Guidance
day sponsored by the federal
government at CLC during the
winter or spring quarter.
As of this early date, the se-
lection of the Senior class gift
has not been made. Any pro.
posais from class members are
welcomed and should be directed
to Cathy Roman, secretary.
The above mentioned is a
schedule of the events and pro.
grams which will be taking place
this quarter. The direction In
which we will go as a class will
be discussed at our first class
meeting on October 22 at 8:30
p.m. in the gymnasium.
Mex-Amer.
Involvement
On the evening of October 15, a
small group gathered In the
Little Theatre to hear Mr. Jess
Castro, instructor of Mexican.
American Studies at Moo mark
Junior College. He spoke on
"The' Mexican-American In Con-
temporary Society" and brought
to light some problems often
overlooked during a peace orient,
ed day such as Moratorium Wed-
nesday.
According to Mr. Castro, cue
key problem is that of social ac-
ceptance. More Important than
superficial acceptance Is the ne-
cessity for people to accept each
other on a personal basis. Whose
problem is this? In the United
States there are many who are
anxious to solve problems, but
mainly in the detached form of
money Instead of personally get-
ting Involved. There is a definite
color hang-up among Americans,
when only the blond, blue-eyed
Chlcanos seem to be able to
make it into politics and society,
that is, if their name doesn't
happen to be Lopez.
The question of who is to blame
was asked by the speaker. Why
does a Chicano act the way he
does when is is approached and
offered help? There is definitely
a lack of trust on both sides, and
this distrust remains even with
those Chlcanos who have "ar-
rived" in life and who change
their nationality from Mexican.
American to "Basque" or "Spa.
nish" as quickly as one changes
hair color. As one of these for-
tunate Chlcanos who has attained
a position of trust In society,
Mr. Castro realized that the only
solution to this racial problem is
the need to swallow false pride,
and to become personally involv.
ed now.
New Theater
Productions
For Now
Drama enthusiasts moved their class, the Theory
of Drama, to the Mark Taper Theater at the Los
Angeles Music Center for a Sunday matinee. Dr.
Labrenz, the professor, arranged for the group to
be taken to the New Theater for Now productions.
A series of ten plays were presented during the
afternoon, many of which were new, not having
attained significant recognition, though a few were
of greater reputation. Israel Horowitz and Jules
Feiff er were two more I well-known playwrights.
Mostly one act plays were presented, but a few
excerpts were also dramatized.
The first dramatization was "The Stars and
Stripes" by Leonard Melfic. This play incorporated
techniques of participatory theater in which the
actors directly relate to the audience. Following
"Thoughts on the Instant of Greeting a Friend
on the Street" by Jean Claude van leal Lie and
Sharon Thie, "Punch and Judy in a Revenge Play"
by Harvey Perr was presented. This oversized pup-
pet show exemplified twisted relationships between
people.
The most Intense performance of the afternoon
was "Rats" by Israel Horobetz in which the pro-
blem of rats in the slums was brought to light
as an important economic problem.
Other plays presented were "Camera Obscura"
by Robert Patrick, "Boats" by Adrienne Ken.
nedy. "A3" by James Bridges. "June Moon" by
Jack Larson, "Wandering" by Lanford Wilson,
and excerpts from Jules Feiffer's play "God
Bless."
More trips to the theater are being planned by
Dr. Labrenz to expose students to the professional
dramatic world. The trips are open to all students
and anyone Interested should contact the English
office or Dr. Labrenz for more information.

United Nations
Day Observed
By Joel Davis and Frank Nausln
■
Friday October 24, 1969, marks
the 24th anniversary of the United
Nations. Nearly a quarter of
a century ago 50 nations signed
the U.N. charter in San Fran.
Cisco, and by doing so bound
themselves to the fulfillment of
the purposes and principles set
forth in it. How effectively have
those purposes and principles
of the United Nation Charter
been fulfilled in the last
24 years?
The first article of the char-
ter set forth the purposes of the
United Nations; among these are
— "To maintain international
peace and security; To develop
friendly relations among nations
based on respect for the princi.
pie of equal rights and self-de.
termination of peop/es; to achieve
International co-operation
in solving international prob-
lems; To be a centre for har-
monizing the actions of nations
in the attainment of these ends."
The signatory nations also
bound themselves to the obser-
vance of certain principles set
forth in Article 2 of the Char-
ter, including, "the sovereign
equality of all its Members;"
the settlement of "their inter-
national disputes by peace,
ful means;" "All members shall
refrain in their international re-
lations from the threat or use of
force."
Twenty- four years is a long
time; much has happened in the
field of international relations.
Has the U.N. in this time, been
able to fulfill its purposes as
set forth in its charter?
It has, but not to the extent
that the signers originally hop-
ed. Many large-scale armed con-
flicts, often between member na-
tions. have occured since 1945;
and the right of self-determina-
tion of peoples has often been
thwarted by member nations. In
other areas though the U.N. has
been notably successful especial-
ly in the areas of international
co-operation on the problems of
world hunger and disease.
UNESCO and the World Health
Organization have pioneered in
these areas.
But why has the U.N. been less
than successful in the total ful.
fillment of its purposes? Ironi-
cally enough, it is because of
the very principles set forth
in Article 2. Article 2 states
that no nation shall use force
or threat of force in the settle-
ment of international disputes.
Few, if any, of the member na.
tions have been able to resist
the temptation to rattle rockets,
or throw them at times. How.
ever, the principle of national
soverignlty combined with the
lack of effective enforcement po.
wer has served to hamper the
U.N. most effectively of all.
Despite these assuredly great
deficiencies, however, the U.N.
at 24, is not dead. It still serves
as an effective "open forum" for
world opinion; it stands as the
world's greatest assertion that,
as King Arthur says in The
Once and Future King, "might
does not make right," and in
many places around the globe
it is the only difference between
starvation and food, disease and
health.
George Sharp Returns!
Noted stage hypnotist and
speaker George Sharp (B.S. Psy-
chology) who has appeared at
over 100 schools and received
standing ovations at over 60 per
cent, will be appearing at C.C
cent, will be appearing at CLC
Gym at 8:00 p.m. on Oct. 31 69.
You are cordially invited to
attend in order to evaluate the
performance for your school.
George Sharp's unique presenta-
tion (lecture and show) of Hyp-
nosis includes a sicientific ex-
planation of the theory of Hyp.
nosis (based on psychological
principles of conditioning, inhi-
bition, etc.), the relation of this
hypersuggestive mental state to
other natural mental states, and
the practical application oi self
hypnosis to studying, learning,
improving school grades, etc.
Characteristics of the hypnotic
state are skillfully illustrated
via one of the most tasteful, hi.
larious and ever-changing series
of hypnotic routines ever devised,
all designed to evoke laughter
and amazement. The audience
is left with a challenge to fur.
ther investigate the science of
Psychology and the field of Hyp.
nosis for their own knowledge and
self Improvement.

Office of Personnel Deans
Administrative Building, CLC
To Deans Gangsei and Heckerson:
We are attempting to eliminate
women's dormitory hours. We re-
cognize that the need for such ac-
tion is symptomatic of the deeper
concern on the part of the stu-
dents to create a healthy social
atmosphere for the largely resi-
dential campus.
For the first time we are put.
ting our resolve to act as a uni-
fied student body to the test. Per-
haps the nature of the student-
administrator relationship may
also become somewhat clearer
to the students through our ac-
tions and our attempts to com.
municate our ideas to the entire
campus community. Hence, this
letter.
We are determined that our at-
tempts at communication and
change shall be constructive and
positive expressions of our
spirit and that they be understood.
We invite you to join to our cause
your positive contributions in the
fervent hope that we can create,
and shall create, a newer, better
attitude among students at this
institution.
We can show no higher expres.
sion of our integrity and stead-
fast devotion to insure the rights
of students than to reaffirm that
we are creative, sensitive indi-
viduals with much to give as well
as receive. To affirm less
would be to deny all.
That the world is not yet ready
for us is no longer a sufficient
reply to our efforts. Nor should
it be accepted by you.
Join us. Take the Initiativel

(Continued from page 1)
Doctor Kallas has published his
sixth book, A Layman's Introduc-
tion to Christian Thought. The
book goes into three Important
subjects In the study of religion.
First, It attempts to put before
the layman the general truths
of the Bible.
Second, it discusses the dif.
ferences between the different
denominations — the beliefs em.
phasized by each.
Finally, it tries to show how
some of the concepts came to
focus in specific men.
The book Is already on sale
at the Book Store for $2.45. It
is used for discussion groups in
Doctor Kallas's Religion 101
clases. The book is put out by
the Westminster Press, a Pres-
byterian publishing company.
The Associated Student Body
claims the power, right and au-
thority to interpret and apply
decisions relating to student con-
duct.
THEREFORE, WE THE STU-
DENTS OF CALIFORNIA LU-
THERAN COLLEGE, BY THIS
VOTE HEREBY DECLARE: That
the continuation of such discrim.
inatory practices is intolerable
to us.
That the present dormitory
hour regulations are null and
void, effective Monday, October
27, at 12:01 a.m.
That we shall repudiate any
and all attempts at regulations
resembling in any form these
present restrictions of our social
freedom.
That this statement is a posi-
tive expression and does not re.
fleet upon any singular person-
ality of the institution of Cali-
fornia Lutheran College. (Octo-
ber 17, 1969)
imposed on students are unen-
lightened, an inherent misunder-
standing of the administration's
role.
We reject the stifling concept
of "in loco parentis."
The present social restrictions
are inconsistent with a healthy
social mentality.
The students of this institution
refuse to sanction the indignity
of the sexually.motivated double
standard which is explicit and
implicit in such restrictions.
Said double standard has been
imposed at the expense of the
freedom of the students at this
institution.
Matters of conduct and stand-
ards significantly affect each stu.
dent, and are not the exclusive
concern of women.

CLC Peace
Day
through the fact that the nuclear
war could occur without too much
trouble or thought. The legacy of
a thermo-nuclear war Is a com-
plex state of fear and shock which
can lead to permanent neurosis.
Threat of lukemla, malnutrition,
scurvy and a desolately recoupe-
rating country made people scar-
ed, apathetic, and profoundly le-
thargic; hunger riots result from
Indifference towards the law, and
parents questioned whether they
wanted their children to grow up
with poison working in their
bones.
The final plea made to the au-
dience was that there is hope if
we accept personal as well as
national responsibility for pre-
venting such a nuclear war from
occurlng.
Following the film the packed
auditorium remained silent as
though expectantly waiting for
answers to unspoken questions.
After five minutes of roaring
silence the crowd began to dis-
perse and many acted out their
answer to the Imminent atrocity
of a Thermo-nuclear war by par-
ticipating in the peace game.
Following the movie, more pos.
ters were painted by CLC, Moor,
park, and Thousand Oaks High
School students, while other stu.
dents and community adults mill-
ed around, talking and waiting.
In looking closely at the posters
there were a variety of messages.
Some of the more prominent read:
"War is good business, invest
your son;" ''America has the best
fed. best dressed, best educated
corpses in the world;" and* Aim
for peace, not men." Peace, being
the central theme, was evident in
" Pray for peace;" " Peace now,"
and "Work for peace." One of the
most effective posters was one
on which dozens of uniformed
men's pictures appeared, cap-
tioned by the phrase "This is
the dead from one week."
The March Begins
By 1:15, all marchers had as-
sembled on the lawn in front
of Alpha Hall, and at the request
of the organizers of the march,
participators filed by two by two.
A motley group of Thousand Oaks,
High School, Moorpark, and CLC
students joined by community
adults, composed a line of 750
extending for seven.tenths of a
mile. The group marched down
the middle of Moorpark Road and
after the three mile trek to the
Post Office to mail letters com-
posed that morning, speakers
were heard in the Village Square
Shopping center. During the
march, a few spectators watch-
ed, some waving flags, some hold-
ing signs similar to those of the
marchers, and some joined the
procession. Various derogatory
Aqua lay.; it on the line.
remarks such as "Look at all
those slobs" were made by one
group of adults.
Several faculty members also
marched, among which were
President Olson, Dr. Moorefield,
Mr. Taggert, Mr. Paris, and Pas-
tor Swanson. Several participants
upon being interviewed later, re-
ported factors which detracted
from the solemnity of the peace
march. Dorothy Sattrum and Al-
lison Montgomery, two CLC stu-
dents, felt that the Thousand Oaks
High School students lacked se-
rious consideration towards the
march, and that their chanting and
running In the street ruined the
mood for the college students.
Also the clothes worn by some of
the high school students were
not suitable. Dorothy Sattrum
remarked that two of the com-
munity adults' signs were in-
appropriate with die idea of a
peace march. They were "Nixon
is Rosemary's Baby" and "Sub-
mit to Communism."
An unidentified non-participant
objected to the march as having
been grossly misrepresented to
the student body by the ASB
President. Supposedly a purely
morally oriented march was used
to support political reasons.
Speak For Peace
The first speaker for the after-
noon was President Olson, who
stated that "die main thrust for
this day came out of plans for a
national Vietnam Moratorium
Day for Peace. As is our right
we have made our own plans for
the day so we might discuss
the basic issue of peace and
war in our own terms and in
our own way. This gathering is
a part of our day at CLC. We
claim the privilege of being our-
selves and expressing ourselves
. . . and not even of needing to
agree with each other in all sides
of this day for Peace because it
is such an intense issue which
has such very personal mean
ings. We claim the privilege of
believing that we have enough
in common to bring us together
and cause us to listen to each
other and consider what we hear
from each other."
President Olson condoned the
fact that those morally and ethi.
cally concerned about war and
peace carried out their feelings
peacefully in the march. He rea-
lized that we have added to the
problems which have mounted
up over the years and that we
expect our elected leaders to
solve the impossible. However,
in order to activate and further
the solving of problems con.
cerning peace in Vietnam, we
can march with soberness, thus
voicing our opinions often lost
through other channels.
"When I am told that the pres-
ent war is a matter of Christian,
ity on one side and Communism
on the other I can only hear it
as an assertion, not a statement
that has the ring of reality about
it. You see, wrong ideas are not
controlled and destroyed by force
but by being overcome with a
greater and more vigorous and
more valid idea. To seek the end
to this war is not to surrender
to an attitude about man which
Communism holds but to say that
we are convinced there are other
and more valid ways to join the
contest for the minds and hearts
of men. Our strength cannot fi-
nally be the strength of arms but
the quality of faith and dedica-
tion and support of each other
in justice and freedom." He fi-
nished by saying that "a time of
trouble is not a time for despair."
Following his speech. Presi.
dent Olson was given a standing
ovation by the crowd. The next
speaker. Mr. Davis, leader of
the Conejo Peace Movement,
made the point that Vietnam
should decide the outcome of its
own civil war, perhaps with the
use of the United Nations as the
mediator. How can we have a
commitment with someone who
idolizes Hitler, as the present
Vice-President in South Vietnam
does?
Rev. Swanson, CLC Pastor,
read parts of his letter to Presi.
dent Nixon. Voicing a popular
opinion, he said that "It is my
purpose to keep alive the mo-
mentum of the peace movement
in such a way that it is a visible
and vocal reminder of that which
remains undone at the very top
of the national agenda." He ad-
vocated withdrawal of forces
from Vietnam and increase of
Vietnamese participation, and
made a final plea to be given
the ability "to love justice and
our own country at one and the
same time."
The final speaker, Joe Acquah,
CLC student, honestly and force-
fully spoke for peace.
"I, Joseph Acquah, citizen of
the world address you: peaceful
coexistance with each man is
possible and should be the goal
of each nation. Americans are a
bunch of lazy ass people and it is
for this reason, that the United
States Government and People
present such a poor Image of
this "Great Democracy".. "Give
the Power to the People." We
want that our children should live
in a much less tense, inhumane
world as we have been forced to
confront."
One remark made by a girl in
the crowd was her gladness at
President Olson's identifying
himself with the students.
The school bus and private
cars returning to CLC were made
available to the tired marchers
after the speeches were finish-
ed.
Open Forum
At seven o'clock that evening
a second showing of The War
Game was presented in the gym
. . . following the movie was
an open forum held In the CUB
under the leadership of Joe Ac
quah. Beginning with the reading
of short stories and protest poe-
try, the floor was opened to all
with something to say.
Reactions to The War Game
were heard and personal feel-
ings about the day were related.
Pastor Cain confessed that con.
trary to his belief that the day
would not be relevant, it turned
out to be very much so. Dean
Edmund said that he had work-
ed with people working on the
atomic bomb and had realized
its destructiveness but was help-
less to do anything about it. He
expressed a definite need for
change.
One dramatic moment was the
confrontation of the audience with
a crippled ex.Marine who wanted
to wipe out North Vietnam, Com-
munist China and Moscow. Sym-
pathy was felt for him by the au.
dience when it was learned that
he had lost a brother and a Viet-
namese wife in Vietnam. Mr.
Paris informed the group that
a bill now in Congress which has
a possibility of being passed, con-
cerns treason in peacetime in the
aiding or housing of an enemy'of
the nation. He urged all present
to write to their Congressmen in
opposition of this bill. Jerry
Rea said that war. since the be.
ginning of history, has never sett-
led anything. There has never
been a military victory and we
must revolutionize our thinking
concerning war. The whole even-
ing's discussion moved well with
no one speaker dominating the
forum.
At nine o'clock a communion
for world peace was held in the
gym and a day of quiet action
was ended with quiet reflection.
Mr. Ferris and John i

A Communion Service was held
at 9:30. It was a beautiful and
profound culmination for the day.
But it was a better beginning. We
cannot let Wednesday be a one-day
thing. It has to be real forever.
Christ was with us that day. He
was there that night. Not only
in our communion was He there,
but also In our hopes for the fu-
ture.
Dear God: Why War?
All I am saying — give peace
a chance.
Prior to last week's prepara-
tions, the and . war movement
across the nation, and the Mora-
torlum specifically, gained an
incredible amount of momentum.
On Wednesday. September 24,
Congressman Allard K. Lowen-
stein (D.N.Y.) announced his sup-
port for an Immediate withdraw-
al from Vietnam. On Thursday,
Senator Charles Goodell (R.N.Y.)
a former moderate on Vietnam,
announced the introduction of a
bill (S-3000) that would give the
administration 12 months to with-
draw all troops. This bill pro.
vldes that allmlnitaryappropria-
tions to maintain our forces in
Vietnam would be terminated by
December 1, 1970. This is the
hardest "peace position" yet to
be introduced into Congress.
That Friday afternoon Senator
Fred Harris (D-Oklahoma), Dem.
ocratlc Party Chairman, con-
vened a meeting of Democratic
Senators and Congressmen. The
Saturday New York Times re-
ported: "Out of the meeting came
a decision by these Democrats
to join cause with the nationwide
student anti-war protest on Oc-
tober 15 and to press In congress
for resolutions calling for an end
to the and a withdrawal of Amer.
lean troops ..."
While the Congressional pro-
test group is small In numbers,
its members are influential In
the part's policy-making cir-
cles. Among those present were
Senator Edmund S. Muskle of
Maine, the Vice. Presidential can.
dldate last year; Senator Edward
M. Kennedy of Massachusetts
and Senator George S. McGovern
of South Dakota. . .
In the New York Times, Sun.
day, September 28, appeared sev.
eral endorsements of the Vietnam
Moratorium. Of the more noted
quotes were the following: "Once
again the students of this nation
will go door.to-door to call for
peace In Vietnam. This construc-
tive effort to work for an end to
this senseless war is truly a
high form of patriotism." —
Senator Charles Goodell.
"The type of non. violent ac
tlon which the Moratorium as-
serts is not only highly com-
mendable but also sorely need-
ed." —Senator Mark O. Hatfield
"The Vietnam Moratorium is
the most significant demonstra-
tion of opposition to the war in
Vietnam since the primary re.
suits of 1968. It is the only way
that the people of the country can
demonstrate a second judgment
on the war in Vietnam to those
who hold political power." —
Senator Eugene J. McCarthy
"I would hope that the Mora,
torium observance will make
clear to the Administration that
in the continuance of this sense-
less bloodshed lies the seed of
national tragedy. It is an effort
which merits the responsible par-
ticipation of all Americans who
are anxious to reverse a policy
of military attrition and moral
disaster." — Senator George
S. McGovern
"Let us all support the stu-
dents who are trying to stop,
by their Moratorium, this dis.
astrous. costly and pointless
war;" — Reinhold Nelbuhr.
"Only public pressure for lm.
mediatewiili.li ill persuade
Nixon to end the war. The Viet.
nam Moratorium will help build
that pressure." — Benjamin
Spock, M.D.

Pester Lauiscr. marches PEACE.
Student Leaders
by Andy Carman
We are responsible! We are
adult! We have rights! This
is our cry as a student body.
But are we more likely cast, as
college of blind sheep who
will follow at the slightest
promise of a little frosting
on the cake? It sounds good
so 'Why not' is the cry of the
majority of the student body.
Kow sad it is that a few
'student leaders' speak for the
ENTIRE student body.
What am I talking about?
The examples arc present in
eve£y area of student activi-
tj.es. The first and most ob-
vious example to be found is
our mont recent 'peace' march.
Students were presented with
a Petition which called for
Peace AND a DAY OFF from
classes. Before looking any
further, we voted, passed the
resolution, and followed our
STUDENT LEADERS down to the
mall.
Thinking back on our activi-
ties, what does the majority
of the student body believe
they were marching for? When
asked they replied that they
were marching for a moral
concept of Peace throughout
the world. In a way it is sad
That they even now believe
this. The march had at its base
one and only one object--
a political march in opposi-
tion to one man and his admin-
istration opinion? and actions
on how to accomplish that goal
of Peace. Their moral march
was in the eyes of their stu-
dent leaders and the public
press a political march from
start to finish.
My views are not important
in relation to that issue.'
The problem is this — This
issue was not examined and
questioned by the majority of
the students. They looked
forward to a day of no classes
and a fun march to T.O. and
because of this were misled on
the vital issues at stake.
Once again we followed blind-
ly, sheep following the leader,
not caring enough to question.
If this is the fate of the
student body, no langer can
we cry that we are responsible
and adult in our thinking. Of
we can not know and question
basic issues before we act,
how can we claim we are res-
ponsible? Only when we as a
student body can start looking
past the frosting on the cake
can we claim we are responsible.

The Manhood Myth
By Gera]d Rea
What is the Manhood Myth? I see it as a distant echo bounding
through the tunnels and sewers of previous civilizations finding
its release in the mouths and pens of our contemporaries today.
Be a manl
Don't back off!
Hit him back I
Men don't cry!
Sound familiar? Is it hard to even lightly consider the possibi-
lity that advice such as the above could take on the proportions
have given it, labelled as the Manhood Myth?
In African Genesis Robert Ardrey blames man's seeming ina-
bility to escape his killer instinct on his ancestors, the great killer
apes of Africa who lived 750,000 years ago (Australopithecus afri*
canus) and conquered other apes with their superior weapons.
Ardery says, "And If all human history from that date has turned
on the development of superior weapons, then it is for a very sound
reason. It is for genetic necessity. We design and compete with our
weapons as birds build distinctive nests."
Ardrey believes that the creator and continuing force of society
is not man but the weapon. However, I see the weapon not as the
cause itself, but as the effect of a larerer cause, the Manhood Myth.
The role of the unyielding, dominant, physical male was neces-
sary in the days of the primates and prehistoric man but should
have become obsolete with the advent of laws protecting members
of a society. Instead, the ideal of primate masculinity has been
carried along by tradition and obstinance through the pages of his.
tory leaving a path of continual conflict.
The grassy plains and rocky cliffs of our earth are littered
with the memories of millions of bodies that fell because of some-
one else proving their "manhood." A more contemporary note is
the fact that some men and boys in America consider the opportu-
nity presented by America's involvement in Vietnam as a chance
to prove their "manhood" by fighting and dying for the fight against
Communism! Many of our leaders ignore the plight of the dlscrimi-
nated and impoverished wnlle sending our young flesh into an end-
less cycle of war, war, and more war. When will it end?
The need to "be a man" sinks its rusty clamp Into the minds
of almost all modern men. This clamp Is composed of two halves;
one, the genetic link (ever-weakening) which ties us by a bond of
bestiality to our killer-ape ancestors; the second, a continuing ver-
bal and visual bombardment of primate masculine ideology from
parents, society, and other misguided men. Rare Indeed is the man
who has been able to escape completely from this clamp.
If you want to hear and see more graphic proof of the existence
of the Manhood Myth today: try growing your hair long and listen to
the comments of "the men;" back out of a fight and listen to the
laughs of "the men;" study ballet and listen to what "the men"
have to say about it; show excessive compassion for a wounded
game animal and hear "the men" snicker; refuse to fight against
your earthly brother in war and listen to "the men" call you a
coward; cry over a tender moment and wait for the stares of "the
men."
In other words, be what a human should be; compassionate, caring,
peaceful, and thoughtful. Try to emulate what Christ taught and
watch yourself get crucified by the proponents of a tragic Myth that
has carried mankind to the brink of disaster. Be a human, not a man!
Spurs
Irons Out Problems
Spurs are offering a new iron-
ing service for all of those who
hate to iron. Those in McAfee
tired of doing their own ironing
can call Ext. 279 and those in
Mountclef can contact Spurs at
Ext. 229 and 236.
We'd like to thank you for
enthusiastically buying donuts,
and for those who have missed
this Monday night snack, have
your roommates buy several for
you. In Alpha and Beta Halls
they will be sold door to door
and donuts will also be on sale
in the Mountclef lounge at 9:30
p.m. Don't forget — every Mon.
day evening.
Three new Spurs have been ac.
cepted into the organization. We
welcome Patricia Benton, Nancy
Golden, and Karin Olson as new
members of our group.
Spurs have begun work on their
service project at the Unfinished
Symphony Ranch for Girls in
Agoura. On the 9th of October,
ten Spurs went out to the Ranch
to meet the girls and to get ac
quainted with them. We were
taken around to the various ca.
bins and soon we all dropped our
masks reserved for meeting new
people and a generally good rap-
port was established. A second
group made the short trip on the
14th. We hope to be able to help
these girls not only with
homework but in talking out mu-
tual problems and in discussing
goals. We plan to invite several
of the girls to the next football
games on campus to show them
what CLC life is like.
Over the week-end of the 24-25,
representatives from CLC Spurs
will attend the annual Spur con.
vention held this fall at UCLA.
Next year the responsibility for
such a convention will be in our
hands, and one of the objectives
of our representatives will be
to report back concerning its
organization, as well as to par.
tlcipate in the excitement of meet-
ing other people and of coming in
contact with other ideas.

Operation
Interface '69
Dr. Alvin E. Walz, chairman
of the chemistry department at
California Lutheran College,
Thousand Oaks, was recently one
of twenty eight participants from
Arizona and California colleges
and universities in "OPERATION
INTERFACE '69" which was
sponsored by Industrial Asso-
ciates of the American Chemi-
cal Society. The group spent four
days meeting with industrial
chemists and learning of the op-
portunities in chemistry for
young people at the bachelor,
masters and doctoral levels.
The prime intent of the con-
ference was to establish better
communications between Indus-
try and the academic so that
more students may learn of the
opportunities available to them.

Sparkling Defense
Leads To Victory
The Kingsmen took their 12th
game in a row, 23-6 over the La
Verne Leopards. This brings
CLC's season record to 4-0.
La Verne scored first on a nine
yard pass in the second quarter.
It was the first touchdown scored
against the Kingsmen this year.
Only minutes before, the Kings-
men defense made a brilliant
goal line stand. The Leopards
had the ball, first and goal on
the one yard line. The ball never
got any closer.
The Kingsmen evened the score
with 1:32 left in the half. Senior
Half Back Ron Sc ho miner scor-
ed on a two yard run, topping off
an 80 yard drive. In that drive,
Schommer completed the longest
Kingsmen run of the year, 40
yards.
In the fourth quarter the Kings-
men shattered the Leopard de-
fense, scoring two T.D.'s and a
field goal. Senior Joe Stouch ran
seven yards for the Klngsmen's
second score. A few minutes la-
ter, Junior Quarter Back AlJones
connected with Senior Brian Je-
ter for a 20 yard pass-run score.
Then with 32 seconds left, Sopho-
more John Bossard kicked a 31
yard field goal.
The Kingsmen defense spark-
led. Three La Verne passes were
intercepted, and a punt blocked.
John Bossard intercepted a Leo-
pard pass which set up the Kings-
men's first score.
Next week the Kingsmen will
meet Simon Frasier University
at Vancouver.

KINGSMEN OF
THE WEEK:
Sam Cvijanovich
Last week, Sophomore Line,
backer Sam Cvijanovich was nam.
ed Southern California College
Player of the Week, after a bril-
liant game against Whittier Col-
lege. This was another honor
for Sam to add to his collection.
Sam graduated from Santa
Clara High School in Oxnard.
In his Junior and Senior years
he was named All-Frontier
League (2A) in Football, Bas-
ketball and Baseball. In 1968,
Sam was named to the All-CIF
Southern second team in '3A*
Football, and the first team in
*2A' Basketball. Last year he
was team captain of the Knaves,
and Freshman MVP.
Sam has scored over 175 de-
fense points this year, and he is
sure to triple that number at
the rate he is going. He has
sparked the Kingsmen defense
in their past two games, with an
Interception and breaking up
many plays.
Sam Cvijanovich is one of the
reasons why the Kingsmen are

Haley Intrigues
Audience
by Becki Frock
On Wednesday night, Oct. 22, CLC students and
non-students alike were held spell-bound by the
fascinating presentation of Alex Haley, author of
the world-renowned "The Autobiography of Mal-
colm X." Haley was the first speaker of the 196S-
70 speaker series sponsored by the Academic Af-
fairs Commission.
Haley discussed three aspects of his career. He
spoke about his beginnings as an author, his work
on "The Autobiography of Malcolm X" and, most
extensively, about his soon-to-be-released book.
His new book traces Haley's family lineage back
nine generations to the African nation of Gambia.
He began his research simply out of personal
interest and it eventually developed into a deep
passion for knowledge. Haley believes that this
book is not merely the genealogy of his own family,
but that it is the "saga of a people.'*
Interspersed with the intriguing story of his an-
cestors and the lives they led, Haley spoke of his
beginnings as a writer. In his comfortable, con-
versational manner of speaking, he related that
while serving as a cook in the U.S. Coast Guard
during World War II he gained the reputation as
a great letter-writer. The results were many love
letters written to girls in the ports his buddies
had visited.
Eight years and many magazine articles later the
result of Haley's meager beginnings appeared as
"The Autobiography of Malcolm X."
Haley shared with his audience some of the

major aspects of his work with the late Malcolm X.
He spoke of the long hours and the hard work in-
volved in the writing of the autobiography. The
death of Malcolm X two weeks after completion
of the book led Haley to write a deeply inspired

"Academic education demands
a free environment, an environ-
ment which is currently not at
CLC." Dave Lewis, ASB Vice
President, spoke these words
to about sixty students assembled
at the open forum held in the
cub on Wed. Oct. 22, to discuss
the hours situation.
During the forum, Davis Lewis,
Miss Candy Maitland, A WS Presi-
dent, and Phil Reitan,ASBPresl-
dent, answered questions con-
cerning Thursday's action intend-
ed to abolish women's hours.
Conflicts arising from this ac-
tion with the administration was
one major point. Reitan stated Dr.
Raymond Olson, President of
CLC, was willing to talk about
the problem, but Reitan also stat-
ed that the President's actions
already showed that his decision
had been made. An example of
such administrative action can
be seen in Dean Lyle Gangsei's
policy for off-campus students
which Reitan termed "en loco
parentis revisited." This policy
demands that off-campus stu-
dents abide by the same rules
and standards that students on.
campus must follows.
Miss Maitland mentioned that
the administration insists that
channels are available for discus-
sion that students have not yet
tried. She mentioned letters sent
to parents last year requesting
opinions on hours having prov.
ed a failure and no criteriafor any
constructive action. When AWS
desired to try other methods,
Dr. Olson was said to have dis-
couraged action. Thus, in the
spring, channels are exhausted,
but by fall a whole new set of
channels are open which must
be waded through in order to
get anything done.
Lewis added that the admin-
i st ration insists hours isapolicy
that they must set. Administra-
tors claim the school is the pro-
perty of the supporters and the
administration must protect this
property. In response, Lewis said
that his protection of property
doesnt extend over human rights.

ting the role of Christian moral-

The Lutheran Youth Congress
will be from Nov. 27 to Nov. 30 at
the Disneyland Hotel. According
to Dave Anderson, director of Lu-
theran Youth Alive, the purpose
of the conference is to present
the Christian experience (not re-
ligion) and to help young people
relate this experience to their
own lives.
This will be the largest meet,
ing of young people from the
three synods: American Lutheran
Church, Lutheran Church of
America, and Missouri. High
school and college students from
eight states are expected to
attend. They will have the oppor.
tunity to talk about Christ and
to share Christian fellowship.
Speakers will talk on the
Christian experience, what it is
and how it relates to the social
and spiritual needs of the modern
world. "The Sonlight" and other
folk groups will perform.
Each person will participate
in two elective courses and a
small discussion group, which
will meet seven times during the
Congress. Two elective courses
offered are "Faith — Intellec
tual Suicide?" and "Christian
Living — Adolescence and Apron
Strings."
There will be some time set
aside to visit Disneyland.
The fee is $33.50, which co-
vers registration, hotel and meal
expenses (excluding breakfast).
Registration forms are available

EDITORIAL
"The hopes of the world must rest
on the habit of forming opinions
on evidence rather than on passion. "
—BERT RAND RUSSELL—
A most outstanding contemporary philo-
sopher, Bertrand Russell appears to have
centered-in on a current issue on our cam-
pus. Student Initiative Number One: Women's
Hours, has been called many different
things. Among the names attributed to
it have been: A new freedom; a watered
student protest; another student right;
and another thorn in the administrations
foot.
Supposedly the students are all behind
this first student initiative. However,
less that a majority of the students voted
upon this issue. Although, it can be said
that those who voted were only ten per cent
short of a unanimous vote, a majority of
the entire Associated Student Body was not
really properly represented.
Now time has recorded, that a committee
is being organized to investigate what all
the implications are of Student Initiative
Number One: Women's Hours.
The actual long range implications of the
initiative appears to be centered around
moral education at C.L.C. The administration
tion has taken on the role of parent (as d
defined "en loco parentis") and, therefore,
they seem appropriately capable of handling
our moral education.
The students, on the other hand, in an
effort to actualize their feelings on the
matter, have now attempted to initiate their
own intrepretation of the Student Parent
(which could be defined as the Student "en
locos parentis") . This would imply that the
students feel capable of presenting an appro-
priate student moral education program.
Now the question arises: Upon what jus-
tification does either group — The Adiini-
stration or the Students — claim thay
should educate our morals ? Is it the
prerogative of the administration because
of their lengthy existence with this and
other institutions of "Higher Learning":
is it their own moral education we are,
or are not, benefitting from: Have the
Regents, Convocators, or Faculty influenced
this decision of moral education: or is it
assumed by the students, that this is part-
of-the-deal when we decided to be educated
at C.L.C. ? Is it proper for the student
to challenge his superiority over his tea-
cher ? Who is the student and who is the
teacher ? The initiative title was STUDENT
Initiative Number One; so if we are the
student, then who is the teacher ?
I've written this editorial in the effort
that both sides of this present issue take
credit for what has been taking place: and
in the hope that it is understood that we
don't know all the answers. My main point
here, is that both sides should attempt to
evaluate this great issue upon solid factual
evidence and not simply upon any one's
passions. We all need to take the time to
think out what is going on on this campus:
we all need to make use of the "grand pre-
rogative of mind" that another philosopher
has defined.
"Tho man a thinking being is define*
Few use the grand prerogative of mind;
How few think justly, of the thinking few !
How many never think — who think they do

President Raymond M. Olson,
Saturday, Oct. 25, issued a
communication to students in re-
gard to the regulations concern,
ing living in CLC housing and
the CLC community in general.
The communication came as a
result of a conference between
President Olson and ASB Presi-

of the conference was to seek a
common step to take toward re-
solving issues raised by Student
Initiative No. 1: Women's Hours.

An ad hoc Adjjdicatory Com-

Douglas Hurley - Editor
Alex Haley
(Continued from i>agc 1)
The completion of "The Autobiography of Mai-
colm X" gave Haley an opportunity to devote most of
his time and energy to the research connected with
the discovery of his ancestors.
It was only after much work that he entertained
the idea of a book detailing the history of his family.
The book would not only be the personal history of
one family but also the history of all black Ameri-
cans m the U.S. Mr. Haley's new book will be the
ancestoral pride of the many millions of black peo-
pie who were separated, by force, from their
families and their cultures.
Throughout his presentation Mr. Haley was re-
laxed but also intense. His deep interest and love
of his subject captivated the audience. He took the
audience to Gambia as it was in the year 17G7.
Haley is a determined man exalted by his work.
He claims that, although talent is always helpful,
a writer's greatest asset is his determination to
work, to fail and to continue working. Mr. Haley's
presentation was an example of that attitude and
of the exciting fulfillment and success achieved
through such an altitude
nance and dormitory hours.
A Secondary Charge will be to
recommend ways and means for
resolving other questions related
to the primary issue of college
Governance.
Until the Commission lias re-
solved its Primary Charge the
rules pertaining to dormitory
hours are suspended, upon the
understanding that the spirit of
those regulations will be honor-
ed throughout this period.
They further agreed that this
solution is not to be seen as a
victory for any of us, but as a
step taken in mutual trust to seek
a serious solution to a serious
problem.

ity and imposing it on the student
body. The administration, Lewis
added, has no right to do this —
each student should have his own
understanding of the Christian
ethic and abide by it.
Another problem mentioned at
the forum was the question of
how the abolishment of hours
would affect college support from
donations. During the summer,
Candy Maitland sent letters to
the churches supporting the col-
lege; most responded that if hours
were abolished, they would with-
draw their support. This support
is about 20 per cent of the college
operating funds.
Reitan quoted a similar in-
cident occuring at Augustana Col-
lege over dancing, which in the
final outcome, the churches did
not withdraw their support as they
had threatened. Lewis stressed
that the CLC student body cannot
base all its decisions on what the
supporters of the college want,
but rather upon what the student
body is willing to support.
Students Needed
For
Curriculum Planning
CLC students face the responsibility of deciding
the types of classes they want, the specific areas
of study, and the respective goals.
Dr. Murley told English majors at a get-together
on Tuesday that the faculty members are encoura-
glng students to work on curriculum committees.
Several students expressed interest in classes
which would teach English majors techniques of
technical writing, an area which Is currently
in great demand. Journalism was another area
where interest was expressed.
Each department has this type of a program.
All that is needed in order to get a class on the CLC
campus is enough interest. If there is some area
of study desired at CLC, share suggestions with
others and get the respective faculty committee
working on a class.

tory. In one way CLC is a living
legend in Itself because of its
early accreditation and its rapid
growth. This year celebrates the
fifth year re-union of the first
complete four year class — 1964.
The year 1970 marks the 10th an-
niversary of CLC as a college.
The second legendary theme is
that of the Vikings. The Vikings,
being Scandinavians, can be con-
sidered as our pre-Lutheran an-
cestors. This idea steers away
from the perennial theme of the
Medieval King and centers in-
stead, on the Viking King.
The presentation of this theme
depends on the main Homecoming
Committee and various sub-corn-
mittees. The Homecoming Com-
mittee consists of the Chairman,
Cheryl Raught, the vice • chair-
man Mike O'Donnell, Treasurer
Sue Hurd, Secretary Orlee Hoi.

senior classes, the school com-
missioners, and an advisory com-
mittee of two faculty members,
one administrator and one devel-
opment office official.
There are several sub-commit-
tees and each one, with its chair-
man, covers a specific aspect of
HOMECOMING 1969
The Coronation Committee,
with chairman Mary Dversdall,
has planned the Queen's Co-
ronation on Friday night, the 14th.
Halftime activities for the foot-
ball game are under the auspices
of the Pep Commission. A pos-
sible presentation of an out-of-
town precision drill team is un-
der consideration.
The planning of the Homecom-
ing Ball comes under the chair-
manship of Gay Falde. The bids
are $3.50 and must be presented
at the door. The ball is semi-
formal with the exception of the
queen and her court.
On Sunday morning there will
be a campus Communion Service.
Tim Weir and the Religflfc Af-
fairs Commission are in cnarge
of this aspect of Homecoming.
Pastor Swanson will speak and
the Alumni Choir will sing.
The annual receptions for the
Convocators and the Queen are
under the leadership of Diane
Short and the members on her
committee.
The activities planned for
Saturday morning are under the
control of Don Rygg and the Cir-
cle K. A stilt race and a piggy-
back race are among the planned
activities. A picnic In the out-
door stage has been planned for
Saturday before the game. It will
cost a dollar for those people not
on board.
Behind these committees are
three very important planning
committees. These committees
are the Publicity Committee, the *.
Entertainment Committee anaihe
Decoration Committee. It is up to
these committees to make sure
that the activities are well an.
nounced, well-executed and en-
joyed by the students.
The publicity chairmen are
Judy Wipf and JoAnn Bonner.
They made the Viking that stands
in the cafeteria and the gold hel-
mets that have been on the scene
for the last couple of weeks. It
is up to this committee to pub-
licize each activity and to get
the students interested in them.
The Entertainment Committee,
headed by Mike O'Donnell, is pre-
senting to the student body, Mr.
David Bevans. (See — Bevans at
Homecoming article) He is an ex.
cellent impressionist and will
have a special act for our cam.
pus. It is said that Dr. Olson

repertoire. The Jimmy Hender-
son Orchestra has been provided
for the Homecoming Ball.
The Campus Decoration Com-
mittee is important because it
helps to promote enthusiasm and
interest on campus. Chairmen
Sandi Madison and Naomi Rygh
have an exciting transformation
of the cafeteria planned. They
are also the judges for the dorm
decoration contest.
Considering the detailed plan-
ning and the variety of ideas
that have gone into this year's
homecoming weekend, it should
proved to be an exciting and me-
morable Homecoming 1969.
For those that don't already
know, there are many exciting
and greatly entertaining events
planned for Friday night, Novem-
ber 14. Starting at 7:UU win oe
the beautiful and spectacular cor-
onation of the queen, and pro-
mises to be more breathtaking
than any of the most gallant af-
fairs of ancient times. But the
big news is yet to come. Di-
rectly following the coronation
will be the most entertaining
hour ever to be enjoyed at CLC.
Appearing at 8:00 will be the
"Mariachis Los Camperos,"
eight of the livliest Spanish musi-
cians ever to come out of Las
Vegas — you'll be dancing in
your seats for surel!
Then, at 8:45, the tears of
laughter will roll as Homecom-
ing proudly presents Mr. Dave
Bevans. Having appeared with
Joey Bishop, Steve Allen, the
Beverly Hillbillies, and at the
Dunes in Las Vegas to name a
few, Be van promises to bring
down the house with laughter
as he performs his crazy im-
pressions, limericks, singingand
other comedy-filled antics.
The night is hardly over as

most advanced computer system
for colleges in the country. From
the terminals, one can program
the computer and in a few seconds
will be able to get the answer
back, even if it is being used by
someone else at the same time.
'•Although no computer class
per se has been planned," says
Dr. Nichols, "we hope everyone
will at least become familiar
somewhat with them, as they have
a growing role in American socie-
ty, and many persons will be in
contact with them in the fu-

On Saturday night, November

sent its first performance of the

also be distributed at the door

Ray Bradbury, well-known
science fiction writer, is schedul-

Perhaps best known for his
work "Fahrenheit 451" which
was recently made into a movie,
Bradbury has written more than
300 stories and 14 books of novels,
stories, and plays.
He was a regular contributor
to the Alfred Hitchcock series
when it appeared on television and
also wrote the screenplay for the
production of Moby Dick by John
Huston.
His book "The Martian Chroni-

Odeon Theatre de France by Jean
Louis Barrault in February 1967.
Also popular among his writ-
ings have been "The Wonderful
Ice Cream Suit," "The Illustra-
ted Man" and "Something Wicked
This Way Comes."
Bradbury was born in 1920 in
waukegan, Illinois. He began
writing at the age of 12 and sold
his first story when lie was 19
years old. He is a frequent con-

The
Children's
Hour
By DENNIS LOYD
On Saturday, November 8,
«The Brave Little Tailor" will
open in the Little Theatre at 1:00
and 3:00. This Children's show is
presented by CLC in cooperation
with the American Association of
University Women, and will also
be toured to six elementary
schools in the Conejo Valley.
Remember your fairy tales?
"The Brave Little Tailor" is the
one from "Grimm's Fairy
Tales" about the tailor who hits
seven at a blow (flies, that is)
and who tries to outwit those plun-
dering "meanies", the giants.
The story is colorfully recreated
by cast members Karen Brant,
Melinda Moore, Rochelle Acar,
Sheli Atkinson, Dennis Lloyd, and
Ron Rygg. The 50 minute show is
directed by Dr. Adams and tech-
nically held together by Mr. Wolf
and his devoted crew members.
"The Brave Little Tailor" will
cost 50 cents (a penny per minute)
but It's well worth it. You'll be
able to relive your formative
years, laugh at your friends in
' the cast, and enjoy the reactions
of the children in the audience.

Wrestlers
Start
Workouts
By Coach Owens
Monday, November 3, marks
the first formal in-season work-
out for the CLC wrestling team.
Some of the wrestlers have been
involved in preseason workouts
for the past two weeks, but Mon-
day has been declared as the
first full workout of the year.
The CLC wrestlers are start-
ing the year with the intention of
keeping the title of NAIA Dis-
trict Three Champions, which
they have won for the past three
years, in spite of ever stronger
competition. In fact, many of the
wrestlers are beginning to think
about the NAIA National Tourna-
ment, held this year at Superior,
Wisconsin. There are some
wrestlers here at CLC who can,
this year, be place winners in
that tournament.
The following wrestlers have
announced intentions of competi-
tion for CLC this year: Raul
Rubalacava, Tom Lybrook,
Charles La Gamma, Tim Pink-
ney, Jeff Quentmeyer, Dalton So-
wers, Adrian Lee, Mike Maurer,
Stephen Smith, Teodoro Lazaga,
Butch Standifer, Rich Kelly, Ray
Shadid, Tom Ingvoldstad, Richard
Welch, Mike CDonnell, Rich
Noel, and Jim Bauer. These ath-
letes will form the core of the
team, with any other wrestlers
in the school being invited to con.
tact Coaches Owens and Cantor.
There are some weight classes
in which the team is weak, nota-
bly 118. The key to a successful
wrestling season this year is for
all the wrestlers in the school to
turn out and help CLC remain
the best NAIA college in the dis-
trict.
The first tests for the team
will be an informal scrimmage
with Pierce College Nov. 12 and a
more formal scrimmage with Cy-
press College Nov. 18. The first
dual match scheduled is with Cal
State Fullerton, at CLC, Dec. 2
1969.

Fabert
Sings To
Canada
A five day trip to Canada to
attend a music seminar was quite
an experience for Wayne Fabert,
a fifth year student at CLC.
Fabert was chosen from the
Kingsmen Choir at the end of
last year to attend the 9th An-
nual Church Music Seminar spon-
sored by the Lutheran Brother-
hood Fraternal Insurance So-
ciety. Held from October 23-26,
in Waterloo-Kitchener at Water,
loo Lutheran University, music
students from thirty-two Lu-
theran colleges in North Ameri-
ca and Canada assembled to study
and sing some of the newest
church music that has been pub-
lished.
The seminar began in 1959, or-
ganized by Dr. Theodore Hoelty-
Nickel, who is a professor at
Valparaiso. Each year the semi-
nar invites a guest director; this
year the seminar was fortunate
to work with Dr. Edwin Niever-
gelt from Zurich, Switzerland,
who also is the Director of the
Church Music Institute there in
Zurich.
After several days of intense
rehearsals, the forty-voiced
choir presented performances at
St. Peter's Lutheran Church and
St. Matthew's Lutheran Church.
The later performance was re-
corded on video-tape for a later
broadcasting and a record was
made, one of which each mem-
ber of the seminar will receive
in the spring.
While the seminar was resting
between rehearsals, the group
took sightseeing tours into the
then snow-covered forests of Ca-
nada and into some of the Amish
country. Thursday night the grou^
attended an organ recital, fea-
turing the music of various Ca-
nadian composers. It was also the
University's Homecoming that
weekend, where the school was
defeated by the Guelph Gryphons.
To brighten the defeat, the music
of the Canadian group, the Su-
gar Shop, was featured at the
dance that night.
The purpose of the Seminar,
as Fabert reviewed his trip,
was to get a cohesive feeling be-
tween students of many varied
backgrounds by means of their
common interest, music. Dr. Ne-
bergelt expressed his sincere de-
sire for their seminar to expand
and extend to people all over the

UCLA Hosts
Spurs Convention
On the 24th of October, ten
CLC Spurs left by car to at-
tend an annual Spurs conven-
tion held this year at UCLA.
Accompanied by Senior Advisor
Miss Prouty and Junior Advi-
sor Melinda Millerman, the CLC
representatives met with Girls
from UCSB, Long Beach, and
UCLA. San Diego State College,
also a member of Region V, was
not represented.
The convention actually began
in the morning of Saturday the
25th, at which time Paula Kapp,
Regional Director of Spurs, in-
troduced the officers and the va-
rioi^topics of discussion. The
foufptopics were relevancy of
Spurs, uniforms, obligations to
national Spurs, and the Spurs'
national project. After the dis-
cussion groups adjourned at noon,
pictures were taken and with the
following free time, prospective
UCLAers toured the dorms. The
convention ended with dinner and
a guest speaker. The topic was
"Project Concern."" It is a non-
political, non-profit, non-re-
ligious organization designed to
help people to help themselves.
Food and medical supplies are
sent to South Vietnam and Mexl-
co. In addition, money is donated
by each Spur chapter that has cho-
sen to take on the project. CLC
Spurs, however, has chosen to
help at the Unfinished Symphony
Ranch for Girls in Agoura.
Following the speaker, songs
were sung, and the convention
was closed by Paula Kapp.
Comments about the conven.
tion were varied, the most im-
portant criticism being its lack
of organization. This is Important
to CLC Spurs who will host the
annual convention next year. In
spite of a lack of spirit on the
part of the hosts this year, re-
presentatives to the convention
felt that a sense of unity was
established and that the conven.
tion was worthwhile.
world, to express the Christian
feeling of fellowship through mu-
sic whenthe language barrier for-
bids other forms of communica-
tion.
Some of the music that the
seminar presented included
"Hundrenth Psalm" by Heinrich
Schutz, a German composition
by Johann Padhelbel, "Christ,
the Sure Foundation," arranged
by Leland B. Sateren, "Peace I
Leave With You," by Knut Nys-
tedt, "Preserve Us, O Lord,"
by Healey Wlllan, another Ger-
man number by Willy Burkhard,
"Come Praise Him" (Latin) by
Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, and
"Sing With Joy Glad Voices
Raise" by Michael Praetorius.

A Step Towards Understanding
The number of foreign students
at CLC has been gradually in-
creasing over the past few years,
and this year there are several
foreign students from various
countries. The Echo will present
a series of articles concerning
these students.
Worku Wondimu was born in
Ethiopia in the town of Ambo
about seventy miles west of the
capital city, Addis Ababa, to
which his family moved when he
was nine years old. Son of afar,
mer, he is one of nine children.
In Addis Ababa, he attended Su-
dan Interior Mission .Elementary
School, and continued his high
school education at a commercial
school where Worku studied se-
cretarial skills, office adminis-
tration, and some accounting. Af.
ter graduating in July of 1963, he
began working for the Lutheran
World Federation Broadcasting
Service where he acted as Trans-
lator-Secretary and Medium
Wave Department Secretary.
Worku also worked as Executive
Secretary for the Ethiopian Gov-
ernment Ministry of Land Re-
form and Administration, besides
being Administrative Assistant
for the United States Peace Corps
Mission inEthiopia. Bet ween 1964
and 1967 he attended Haile Selas-
sie I University extension in Ad-
dis Ababa.
In June of 1968 Worku came to
the United States and studied at
Monterey Peninsula Junior Col-
lege for one semester before en-
rolling at CLC for the 1969 spring
quarter. He is now a senior at
CLC and is majoring in Business '
Administration.
When asked why he wanted to
come to the United States, Worku
replied that he has always been
curious about the people of other
countries, about living among
them and learning about their
ways of life and social institu-
tions. He admires the American
people as being very energetic
and hard-working. He saM that
CALENDAR
he had no problem adjusting to
the American way of life because
"the people are very friendly
and helpful."
Besides taking five classes
this year, Worku also works part
time in the Accounting Depart-
ment at Burroughs.
Worku noted the growth of
the foreign student community
at CLC and said that it was a good
sign of the college's reputation
both at home as well as interna-
tionally to have such a com-
munity. He further stated that
the foreign students play a par-
ticular role in fostering interna-
tional understanding and they can
make their part of the world bet-
ter understood by all with whom
they come in contact. He likes
CLC for its homey atmosphere
and the excellent relationships
and close contacts that exist be-
tween the students and faculty.
In his spare time, Worku likes
to travel, read books on interna-
tional politics, and to participate
in such sports as soccer and bas-
ketball.
On Nov. 12 the CLC
Latin American Studies
Program will journey to
USC to hear the Rev.
Blase Bonpane lecture
on Guerrilla Warfare in
Guatemala. He is a
former missionary who
was expelled by the
govt, of Guatemala. He.
presently teaches at
UCLA. Students will be
leaving CLC at 8am
and returning at 2pm.

We Came...We Saw...We Conquered
Of
The Birds
On Friday October 24,theilrst
of five presentations of the play
"The Birds" by Aristophanes
was performed in the Little Thea*
tre under the directorship of Dr.
Adams. It was first producedin
414 B. C. at the Great Dionysia
in Greece and won second prize
in the contest.
The play concerns Pisthe-
tairus, "Hopeful" (Gary Odom)
and Euelpides, "Blarney" (Rick
Rullman), two Athenian men of
relatively well-to-do families who
become dissatisfied with the so-
ciety of taxes, lawyers, prophets,
and government officials, and try
to escape from these numerous
bores by going to live with the
birds. With the help of the bird
leader Epops (Gary Adams), for-
merly a human, and the gullible
birds, the two Athenians direct
the building of the Kingdom of the
Birds in the sky, Cloud Cuckoo
Land. However, the basis of the
city prevents it from remaining
peaceful for very long. By self
appointing themselves the bridge
between the gods and man, and
by extracting toll charges from
both sides, the birds first earn
enough wrath from the gods to
generate a war, and following a
peaceful settlement in which Pis-
thetairus becomes king, Cloud
Cuckoo Land is invaded by ten
thousand human applicants in
search of a Utopia, accompanied
by the inevitable tax inspector,
city planner, a prophet, a poet,
and a lawyer.
"The Birds" was chosen by the
faculty who selected several
plays out of fifty to one hundred
possibilities, to comprise a
balanced season of entertain-
ment. Several years ago, Dr.
Adams helped produce <rThe
Birds" in a school in Ohio, and
also because a classical play has
not been enacted at CLC recent-
ly, this play was chosen.
This version of the play has
been drastically cut and re-adapt-
ed from two translations, but the
original satiric spirit has care-
fully been preserved. Satire, the
highest form of comedy, was
greatly enjoyed by Greek audien-
ces, who were able to laugh
at themselves. Although this slap,
stick is meant mainly to enter-
tain, and can be taken at face
value, past and current applica-
tions can be made. A universa-
lity of themes makes it possible
to relate "The Birds" to present
world situations, because schol-
ars have thought it was written at
a time when the Greeks were
fighting a useless war without
any sign from the gods. Although
it is contemporary, this play is
not specifically topical and is not
particularly profound. It is play-
ed by actors who do not pretend
to be anything but actors, and in
the original versions, actors in-
tentionally forgot lines and props,

Dear Editor,
As one of the instigators of
the food Boycott, I have several
reasons for writing this letter.
First of all, I feel the student
body has the right to know that
Mr. E. S. Flynn and the College
have parted company. The new
head of the Food Service is Mr.
John Reeder, who is working
directly lor tne ozaoo Food Com-
pany. He is one of the hardest
working individuals I have en-
countered and he is quite open
to suggestion.
Another reason for writing is
to inform the student body of the
forming of the Food Service Com-
mittee , made up solely of students
from the College. In the past,
there have been food service
committees also, but this one
differs in the powers that we
have obtained. We have full in-
spection rights of the kitchen at
anytime by any member of the
committee. We have a copy of the
contract which we have examined.
We have noted that there is no
quality control clause in the con-
tract, so the committee is as-
suming that role itself.
Finally, we have been granted
a great deal of power in making
suggestions of change for the con-
tract and if worse comes to
worse, we can move for removal
of the Szabo Food Service in
place of a new one. According
to the contract, all we have to
do is give 30 days notice. But
we do not feel this will be neces-
sary because of the confidence
we have in Mr. Reeder. He is
not satisfied with the sanitary
conditions, the extreme wait for
food, the wet trays and the hair
in the food, and in each of these
cases, steps have been taken,
with the cooperation of the com-
mittee, to alleviate the problem
as soon as possible.
I have personally Inspected the
kitchen both during and previous
to meal time and have found it
more sanitary than most kitchens
I have seen.
The third reason for writing
is to address myself to the letter
which appeared in this column
last week, authored by a Mr.
Tracy Harbur. Instead of tak-
ing a sneaky look around the
corner, Tracy, why don't you ask
Mr. Reeder to let you look. As
I have already stated, myself
and members of my committee
have inspected the kitchen very
closely and found the results to
be impressive. Compared to be-
fore the boycott, the place is
virtually Immaculate. Whenltold
Mr. Reeder of the letter, he
merely threw up his hands in
disgust and said "Why don't they
give me a chance." I agree with
him whole heartedly. So Tracy,
next time, try and be a little
more fair in your appraisals be-
fore shooting off your mouthl

On October 24th at 1:00 p.m.,
seven brave, adventurous souls
set out in Coach Shoup's station
wagon to drive the 1,320 miles to
Vancouver, Canada, for our foot-
ball game with Simon-Fraser.
Andy Garman led the escapade,
accompanied by his harem of
six — Diane Creighton, Barbara
Merrill, Stella Wilkins, Kay
Strawder, Barbara McQueen, and
Linda Roush — all going for rea-
sons varying from a love of foot-
ball and or a football player to a
love of adventure.
We spent approximately 24
hours en route including gas and
food stops. You can be sure that
we were all VERY WELL ac
quainted by the time we reach-
ed Vancouver!
The beautiful scenery and our
undying enthusiasm kept us from
going stark raving mad! A full
moon accompanied us through
Northern California and Oregon
so that we were able to enjoy some
of the beauty of the snow-cover-
ed mountains and tall, dark pines.
We watched the sun rise just be-
fore we got to Tumwater, Wash,
ington (you know, "it's the wa-
ter"...), which reminded us of a
little New England village in the
fall. The trees were all decked
out in red, orange, brown, and
gold — much to the excitement of
those of us who had never wit-
nessed autumn outside of Sou-
thern California. Weatherwise we
had no real problems — only
fog.
We were completely exhausted
and bedraggled after 23 hours
of constant driving, but when we
reached the Canadian border a
transformation took place!
Everyone perked up when we ex-
plained to the customs official
that Awesome was a mascot and
only fired blanks! The hour's
drive into Vancouver was fill-
ed with cheering and anticlpa-
Stagnation-
Key To
Success
Dear Editor,
Our Homecoming committee
sparkles with unimaginative
thought and a lack of originality.
First, for a record breaking fifth
year in a row we have the Jim-
my Henderson Orchestra. Again
we are paying $2,000 for the
same group who plays less than
two thirds of the dance. They're
breaks are so long they should
provide playing cards to keep the
frustrated dancers awake. I am
not stating that this orchestra
is not adequate for a formal
dance; but really, five years in
a row?
Second, with two weeks re-
maining before this festive event,
all the fans can look forward to
as half-time entertainment is 100
yards of white striped grass; not
exactly a breathtaking spectacle.
Apparently the CLC philosophy
that stagnation is the key to suc-
cess has pervaded the thoughts
of our homecoming committee.
SORRY ALUMNI.
John Embree
tion of hearing the cannon roar
as we trampled the "Simon Sis-
sies."
Under the excellent guidance of
Stella and Linda, we navigated
the car right through town, to
the Eldorado Motel where the
team was resting before the
"kill" (like the calm before the
storm). We made our arrival
known, hunted up Coach Shoup,
and found a motel room for the
girls.
After a very short rest, and
looking like new people, the 7 of
us, plus 3 others including the
raffle winner Judy Kinsman, set
out to find a place to eat before
the game, with a quick tour of Van-
couver first. Images remain of
Stanley Park, a full moon rising
over the bay, hills covered with
twinkling lights, brisk cold clear
air, bare trees, neon lights, shop
windows, fur coats . . .
After having dinner in a res-
taurant ressembling an English
tavern, we arrived at the game.
Our side of the huge stadium was
almost as full as the opposite
side and there is no doubt that
we were louder — what with Awe-
some, Andy Garman, and two of
the bounciest, cheeriest cheer
leaders around — Judy Kinsman
and Barb Merrill! We were as
"jacked" as the football players.
It was a great game with the
guys putting their everything into
it, inspite of the freezing cold
and the muddy, slippery field.
They deserve a lot of praise
for the game they played with the
final score of 25-0. And at that
moment when we, the fans, were
all standing around the locker en-
trance, chanting "it's all over,
hey" as the team hustled by and
one of the players smiled up at
us and said, "Thanks for com-
ing, you guys!" like he really
meant it; at that moment we were
truly glad we had come. All the
tiredness was gone, there was no
thought of the long drive back,
just a sort of glowing contentment
. . . jubilant happiness. . . a feel-
ing of pride for our college and
for our team . . .("we came, we
saw, we conquered!")
After the game there was par-
tying and celebrating with a samp-
ling of Canada's "best" beer,
a welcomed night of blissful
sleep, and then the long drive
home . . . Carl Clark taking the
place of Stella Wilkins who flew
back with her husband, the rain
and traffic, a 21st birthday cele-
bration in Auburn at dawn for
Carl . . . then back to CLC where
reality and work were awaiting
us. There are many memories,
and each one of us would have
something different to add, but
we all agree that our wild esca-
pade was worth it — climaxed
by that moment of oneness with
our victorious football team.

Bradbury
Promises Creative Challenge
Ray Bradbury emphasizes the H-bomb will not
let Man destroy himself.
Ray Bradbury, the famous science fiction
author, was well received in the gym last Sun-
day night. He challenged those who listened;
he challenged them to find something to love
and to work for it. He promised the space
age would be a creative challenge.
Bradbury, known the world over for his short
stories, novels, and screenplays, adressed an
audience of students from nearby high schools,
local residents, and community leaders, as well
as CLC students. He took a refreshing ap.
proach to the world's problems. As he put it: "I
came to depress you with good news."
He admonished everyone to do what thev loved,
and to love what they're doing; that learning
should be fun and the quest for knowledge exhil.
arating.
He also predicted a little of the future; only
he maintained that anyone can see the future
if they are only aware of what's going on around
them now.
Ray Bradbury, author of "Farenheit 451" and
"The Illustrated Man", was the second fascinat.
ing speaker of the current Concert • Lecture
series. More are scheduled in upcoming weeks
and will be a valuable facet of the college ex.
perience.
International Community
The pretty Hong Man Lee,
known to her friends as May,
is the youngest member of CLC's
international community. She was
born in Hong Kong seventeen
years ago, and has become fami.
liar with life in several coun-
tries and can be called a true
international student.
May's father is a Sanitary En-
gineer in Hong Kong and her
mother is very actively operat-
ing a cakeshop and a cooking
school, sometimes exhibiting her
Chinese culinary skills on tele-
vision. She has an older brother
attending Cambridge University
in England and a younger brother
who is living at home.
In Hong Kong, May completed
Diocesan Girls' School. She
chose to enroll at Headington
Girls' School in Oxford, Eng.
land, partly because her brother
was there, and, according to her
father's plans, to toughen her up
and to give her an all-around
education.
UNICEF
Drive Begins
In the Coffee Shop next week, November 17-21, CLC students
and friends will have the opportunity to help the world's children
through participation in the UNICEF Christmas Card Drive.
Donations from the purchase of UNICEF cards and calendars
will benefit more than 800 million children in the developing
countries, in addition to establishing habits of peaceful cooper-
i ation and mutual assistance.
Lacking solutions to all the overwhelming problems the world
faces, must not deter us from making an honest attempt to alter
the conditions of misery that so many of the world's children
suffer from. Your contributions through UNICEF will aid in
the purchase of equipment and supplies, medical services, dis-
ease control, nutrition, social services, education and vocation,
al training. With your help, UNICEF can continue to fulfill its
aim ". . . to spread a table, decked with all the good things that
Nature provides, for all the children of the world."
President Kennedy addressing the UN's General Assembly
said, "Never before has man had such capacity to control his
own environment — to end thirst and hunger — to conquer poverty
and disease — to banish illiteracy and massive human misery.
We have the power to make this the best generation of mankind
in the history of the world — or to make it the last." These
times are indeed critical, won't you help? Can you afford not to?
Support UNICEF.
During the past summer, May
travelled back to Hong Kong,
passing through Japan and Maui
before arriving in San Francisco
and finally Los Angeles. She has
been in the United States since
September.
May found out about CLC
through her uncle, Dr. Edward
C. Tseng, who is Chairman of
the Political Science Department
at CLC.
Although undecided on her ma-
jor, she is interested in psycho,
logy and also finds French to be
her easiest subject.
Music is something which May
enjoys very much, and she plays
all kinds of music on her guitar.
During her stay in England, she
did promotion work for Hong
Kong recording artists at EMI
(Electrical Musical Industries)
and plans to do more of the same
while she is in the United States.
Drumming intrigues her, and one
of her dreams is to own her own
set of drums. May is also inter,
ested in poetry, especially poe-
try written by Liverpool poets,
(who are under 23, blues singers
and failed sociology students)
Laurie Lee, D.H. Lawrence, and
Boris Pasternak.

Initiative No. 1
Progresses
Issues concerning college goverance raised by the passage of
Student Initiative No. 1 are now being examined and discussed by
the newly.formed College Governace Committee-
The committee, created by mutual agreement of College Presi-
dent Raymond Olson, ASB President Phil Reltan, and the ASB
Senate, will function as an advisory group to the students, faculty,
and administration and will seek relevant solutions to current
campus problems.
Committee membersldp consists of representatives from the ad-
ministration, faculty and students. At-large and ex-officio mem-
bers have floor privileges but no voting rights. Students have the
largest representation, because, according to ASB President
Phil Reitan, ". . . students are the most governed and therefore
should have the most representation."
Student representatives on the committee are: ASB President
Phil Reitan, ASB Vice-President Dave Lewis, John Guth, Steve
Rosemary Carol Lund, and Kay Strawder. Dr. Tseng, Dr. Mur.
ley Dr. Ualz, and Mr. Paris serve as faculty representatives
and Deans Edmund, Gangsei, and Heckerson represent the admin!
istra ion. Ex-offlclo members are Dr. Olson and Campus Pastor

Computers Tied
To Cal-Tech
The computer tie in to Cal Tech
which we have been expecting for
some time arrived on the sixth.
It is located in that remote cor-
ner of our campus known as room
F-7. You can see it by going
in through the door on the east
end of the building, and walking
in through the first door to your
left. When you see it, you will
be shocked! Instead of all kinds
of equipment difficult for the
average mind to understand, you
will find two electric typewriters
and a cabinet.
Using the computer is even
simpler than the system looks.
The electric typewriters are the
only devices which you have to
worry about. If you have a prob-
lem that you want to work, all you
do is type it on one line of
your data sheet. Then you push
the return button, and the com-
puter will answer it to the best
of its ability. If the problem
can't be fit on one line, vou can
use a smaller phrase or symbol
to define a part of the problem.
The symbols can be fit on one
line, and it will have the same
effect as the problem that
couldn't fit.
In addition to problems of math
and theoretical science the com-
puter can also handle problems
in political science and social
science. By giving it the proper
data, you can accurately compute
information of a statistical na-
ture.
Ski Film Debut
"THIS IS SKIING" playing at the CLC Gym on Sunday evening,
Nov. 23, brings to the screen a 99-minute ski view of powder
snow and sunshine. Blizards and national championship racers.
France and Alaska and music and fun mostly.
Warren Miller directs the activities of his own film pro-
duction-distribution-promotion company in the unlikely town of
Hermosa Beach, California. Here, away from the pressure hang-
ups of Hollywood, Warren's unique film production unit creates
off beat entertaining and fascinating films. Having produced
over one hundred ski films including theatrical features and
network television series, the dean of ski film producers has
conferred on his company several unique assets: Photographic
experience; camera unit mobility; a wide range of technical
capabilities; knowledge and enthusiasm for skiing; a strong
desire to tell it like it is and to entertain; plus the materials
to work with.
During the winter filming season, Warren Miller Productions
fields three strong, small mobile camera crews. Often each unit
consists of one man filming in a documentary manner. The
first unit is filmed and directed by Warren Miller, who draws
from twenty years experience as a skier and movie maker.
It is customary for Warren to assign himself the most critical
or difficult sequences. In addition, Warren has two photographers,
with the same drive and desire to film and entertain, Don Brolin
and Rod Allin, who are trained in this unique and effective
filming technique. Between the three of them, they have spent
37 years solving location problems without the aid of a big crew
and a dozen gaffers. It's a real experience to watch any of the
three of them going down a hill, camera in hand, filming world's
champion skiers in action. See it all at the CLC Gym on
Sunday, Nov. 23 from 7 P.M. to 11 P.M.

Indian
A site, used by the local In-
dians several hundred years ago,
our socib-anthropology Depart,
ment's Dr. Maxwell and his field
archeology class. The site was
used by the Chumash Indians for
their gathering of nuts and ber-
ries while they were in season.
Because of this, it has been est-
ablished that the site was only
a seasonal camp and not a year-
round one. The Chumash Indians
were a coastal tribe, generally
not exceeding a few hundred mem-
bers.
Found at the site were parts
of bowls, shell beads, shell art-
ifacts, arrow-heads (projectile
Artifacts
points) bone tools and some food
remains. '<One of the reasons
we are digging this site," says
Dr. Maxwell, "is to find out if
the inhabitants of the later per-
iods (300-400 years ago) are
basically the same as the earlier
peoples (600-700 years ago), and
what they used for food."
The diggers are using hand
trowels, sifters, brushes, and
other hand tools; anything larger
will break up the remains.
NOTICE: It is a misdemeanor
to disturb Indian sites without
proper authorization. However,
anyone interested in doing some
work, or even just looking on
should contact Dr. Maxwell at
ext. 176 for details.

What Is Wrestling
Intermural
CLC Hosts Runners
By Coach Owens
Wrestling, as done in college,
is not what you see on televi-
sion. If you expect to see a
lot of eye-gouging, biting, etc.,
as you do on T.V., you will be
disappointed. If, however, you
expect to see some of the fast-
est moving, exciting action ever,
you will be quite pleased. In-
stead of a test of who is the
best actor, you will see a test
of who is the best wrestler, with
such things as wrestling knowl-
edge, speed, strength, condition,
ing, and intelligence being among
the more important aspects. One
other thing that is more important
than the previous will also be
In obvious presence — desire.
All good atheletes have a certain
amount of this important ingredi-
ent, but I believe that a wrestler
must have more than any other
athlete.
Wrestling is actually the old
story of one man pitted against
the other. In college wrestling,
there are two scores that are
important — the individual match
scores and the team scrores.
There are ten individual matches
which make up the team score.
The points earned by the individ-
ual are counted up for the team
score. The individual earns team
points by defeating his opponent,
either by decision or by pin.
The win by decision advances
the team score by three (3)
points, while the win by pin is
worth five (5) points. Thus it is
very important that the individ-
ual wrestlers work for pins.
Because of this type of scoring,
it is obvious that all men on the
team are equally important. This
is in direct contrast to many
sports, such as football, where
the emphasis is on the big man,
and someone that weighs less than
150 pounds is not really expected
to do too much. In fact, the small-
er wrestlers are usually more
exciting to watch because they
are faster. When you come to
watch the first wrestling match,
watch carefully or you might
just see a purple and gold blur
instead of the grunting and groan-
ing that you might expect to see.
No matter what happens, you will
see some of the best athletes
from CLC competing and giving
their best for the team and for
their school.

A world record holder will
highlight a field of more than
100 athletes Saturday in the NAIA
District III Cross Country Cham-
pionships at California Lutheran
College.
Chuck Smead of WestmontCol-
lege, world record holder in
the junior marathon, will lead
runners from 15 schools in com-
petition for the Southern Calif-
ornia NAIA laurels.
Cal Lutheran Cross Country
Coach and meet coordinator, Dr.
Curt Nelson, is looking forward
to an outstanding event. "There
will be some fine runners here
this weekend. It should be a great
meet," he said.
The favored Westmont team
may face a strong challenge from
Cal Western. The Westerners are
led by Kenth Andersson, a mem-
ber of the Swedish national track
team.
Biola, Occidental andRedlands
also have strong teams and will
challenge ior tne tiue. utner
schools involved are: Azusa-
Pacific, Cal Lutheran, Cal Tech,
Chapman, and Claremont. Also:
Fresno-Pacific, La Verne, Pasa-
dena, Pomona, and Whittier.
The five-mile course will start
and finish at Cal Lutheran's North
Field. Time of the event is 11:00
a.m.
First In Fifteen
Pre-game activities at full swing.
With the *help' of a wet field
and eight fumbles by the Kings-
men, the team from Cal Western
went to a three-way tie for the
NAIA district 111 title by beating
CLC 49 to 0. There were ten
total fumbles and fifteen total
penalites, of which more than
half were on the Kingsmen.
For the first quarter, the
Kingsmen won the toss and re-
ceived the kickoff. Right from
the first, the fact that the wet
field would play a deciding role
was apparent as several times
runners would slip and fall for
no reason other than the depth
of water on the field. With 9:01
left in the quarter, Cal Western
made the first TD to make the
score 7-0. When Cal Western
kicked off, Burties (25) almost
made it into clean running room
but was brouhgt down by the last
•defensive man. Later, on a
fumble by CLC, the Westerners
recovered it and went on a touch-
down drive to make it 14-0 with
5:16 to go. After the kickoff, the
Kingsmen went to the Westerners
20 yard line but lost the ball
on a fumble and the quarter
ended with the score 14-0 in
favor of Cal Western.
During the second quarter,
there was hard hitting as CLC
tried to score, but the Western-
ers made two TD's within 12 sec
onds on two fumbles by the Kings-
men which brought the score to
28-0. After the kick, CLC went
to the Westerner's 35 yard line,
but lost the ball again on yet
another fumble which allowed
Cal Western to drive to another
TD to make the score at the
half 35-0 in favor of the West-
erners.
After the half-time entertain,
ment, provided bytheSimi Valley
High School marching band and
drill team, the Kingsmen kicked
off but couldn't hold the rampa-
ging enemy as 52 seconds later,
the Cal Western team scored
once more to make it 42-0. Hard
hitting, good efforts, two fumbles,
and three penalties later, the
Westerners scored yet another
time to bring the score up to a
comfortable 49-0 lead.
The fourth quarter was a last-
ditch stand by the Kingsmen to
keep from having any more
scores made against them. In
it were seen some of the more
nicely executed plays of the game:
a double-reverse run by Cal West-
ern, a six yard jump pass from
Thomas Turk (10) to Carl Clark
(89), and a run by Joe Stouch
(24) which was just about worth
a touch-down, only the referee
said he had stepped out-of-bounds,
and the ball was placed on the 10
yard-line of Cal Western. Brian
Jeter (29) carried the ball to the
7 yard-line, but CLC lost it on
an incomplete pass, and Cal West-
ern just hung onto the ball to
run out the clock.
This was the first loss the
Kingsmen liad had for fifteen
games, and it moved Cal West-
em into a three-way tie with
Redlands and CLC for the NAIA
district 111 championship title,
which will be decided sometime
in the future. The Kingsmen now
have a 52-19 won-lost record,
which is still nothing to be asha-
med of, but it won't be easy in
Coach Shoup's practices for the
next week!

CLC gets his man
CLC Faces Pomona
The California Lutheran Col-
lege Kingsmen will try to get
back to their winning waysSatur-
day against Pomona. The Home-
coming game time is 1:30 p.m.
The Kingsmen, now 6-1 on the
year after losing to Cal Western
49-0 last week, face a young but
determined Pomona team. Sage-
hen Coach Walt Ambord feels
that his team has come a long
way. "... We have the poten-
tial to beat anybody we play if
we have a top game."
The Sagehens are young (they
list only five seniors as regulars,
and will start eight freshmen
on defense), but they do have
potential — particularly in the
passing game. Quarterbacks Rick
Miller and Bill Joost lead the
number 15 passing offense in the
NAIA. They have completed 89
of 204 passes for 1246 yards,
an average of over 200 yards a
game. End John Anderson is the
leading pass receiver with 34
receptions for 525 yards and
three touchdowns.
The Pomona ground game has
not been as impressive, so the
Kingsmen secondary of John Bos-
sard at safety, and Arnold Allen
and Bob Wilklns at halfback can
expect that the Sagehens will
put the ball in the air early and
often. Linebackers Rick Andrade,
Sam Cvijanovich, and Gary
Echols, who have been the back-
bone of the rugged CLC defense,
will also have their work cut out
for them on pass defense.
Last week Cal Western scored
49 points to end Cal Lutheran's
14 game winning streak. But the
Kingsmen did maintain their fine
record in rushing defense, allow-
ing only 477 yards in seven
games for a 68.1yards-per-game
average. It was All-American
quarterback candidate Wayne
Clark's passing for three touch-
down's that led the Westerners
to their fifth straight win.
Pomona comes to town follow-
ing a 47-21 loss to an improving
Whittier team, which lost to the
Kingsmen 10-0 early in the sea-
son. The Sagehens, 2-5 on the
year, have also lost to La Verne
14-0 and Redlands 49-27. Cal
Lutheran defeated La Verne 23-6
and Redlands 13-3.
CLC Coach Bob Shoup feels
that his team should be ready
for the Homecoming game with
Pomona. "Some of our alumni
will remember that our series
record with Pomona is 3-4. We
will be out to even that score."
More important, the Kingsmen
will be out to return to their
winning ways.
Following the Pomona game,
Cal Lutheran will host Concordia
(Nebraska) in the season finale.

EDITORIAL
Please take time to read the two letters
to the editor. They involve a problem pre-
sent on this campus in many forms. To say
and preach one philosophy, aad then turn a-
round and demonstrate another, is not,
by anv definition of the word, being con-
sistent.
When we elect our student government
officials under a democratic process, it
would appear to be implicitly understood
that we would intend to rally our resour-
ces in support of their efforts.
Yet when members of a society do not
question the direction and program of the
society, then the elite few can determine
all of the executions of the society.
If we, as students, do not more open-
ly criticize our student government, then
how will they know what we want them to
do for us? It is in the like manner that
we, as Americans, criticize our American
government, especially with regard to the
war in Vietnam.
We must also understand that there are
two kinds of criticism — good and bad --
or, constructive and destructive. Too many
times, somebody is displeased with something
but can not offer something better. Perhaps,
if we took time to meditate and analyse our
problems; and then ask for God's guidance,
this religious institution might witness a
student awakening.
The key woud here is integrity. And the
key question is: Are we practicing being
consistent without hypocrisy or sham?
It is in this light that the article,
"Obscene Little Rascal", was written.
Does the college have integrity, an in-
tegrity seperate from those people re-
sponsible for running the college?
Look around -- look at your classes,
your student government , your school .
Take time now to sit quietly by yourself
and meditate on your situation at Califor-
nia Lutheran College.

Senate Adds
Humor
Dear Editor:
My first "experience" with the Senate of C.L.C.
occurred two weeks ago at the Oct. 30th Regular
Meeting. I also experienced the meeting held
on Nov. 6th and was startled to see that at both
meetings not one student was present! Does
this mean that no one at C.L.C. cares how the
student government is being run? Do you, as
students, elect A.S.B. Officers and Senators to run
your campus strictly on the premise that they
know what's best for you, and that you don't need
to do anything but vote them into office? Do you
know how your $25,000 A.S.B. Dues are being
spent? Do you know what legislation has been
accomplished on Student Initiative 1?
If you don't know what's happening — get with it!
Don't push the burdens of running a student gov-
ernment off on a few people; get in there your,
self and find out what's involved in running our
campus. Know what's going on!
Let's start seeing some student interest around
C.L.C! After all, it's only what you do — or don't
do — that makes this campus what it is.
The next meeting is this Thursday, Nov. 13th
at 9 P.M. in K-l. I assure you that you'll be sur-
prised at not only what goes on at a Senate Meeting,
but how the meeting itself is being run! Personally,
I found it to be one of the most humorous events
I've attended this Fall.
Al Hubbard
Obscene
Little Rascals
we would not only not be friends but probably
bitter enemies, especially after I put a rope around
his neck and pulled on it. These films show that
whether in real life or in a play, Black children
are to be treated however the whites want to treat
them. This is reminiscent of the plantation owner-
slave relations of past years.
I was also insulted by the depiction of each and
every Black child in the films as the stereotype
"af raid-of-the-dark, dumb, dumb, poor colored boy"
who will some day grow up to be a Stepin-Fetchit
on the Shirley Temple movies. Then he won't
have a whole gang of white kids to tell him what
to do but a little five year old girl.
I resent the exhibition of these films at this
school, as it is an insult to my pride and in-
tegrity as a Black person. If Avant Unity wished
to show them so that a discussion of the racist
elements would follow, I would have no objections.
But as entertainment film, it Is obscene!! Once
before, the Black students at this school were
insulted when these same movies were shown as
"entertainment" for the Black and Mexican.
American children who visited for a day. Even
then, the young children had enough sense to walk
out of the Little Theatre and refuse to view them.
Perhaps, they should be attending CLC and let the
rest of you should go back to elementary school.

Dear Editor:
It has been said that CLC has progressed a great
deal as far as race relations are concerned. To-
night at the showing of the "Little Rascals" series
the Black students at this college were able to see
what this progress has meant. And it has meant
literally nothing! When I was a child, my parents
felt these movies were obscene and thus would not
allow my brothers and I to view them. Even today
several universities are studying these films for
their obscenity both as examples of racial stereo-
types and also for racist elements. But here at
CLC, they are being shown for their entertain.
ment value. Movies such as these only serve to
further the old beliefs and stereotypes which have
given various groups an excuse to subjugate poor
and uneducated Blacks.
The racist elements are all through the entire
movie and yet how many people have even questioned
their message. Just think, how many Black kids
in the movies have parents? From what several
people have told me, only one has a mother and
she works for one of the white kids parents. That
is totally untrue and unrealistic. It is also un-
realistic that middle class kids are friends with
lower class and apparently orphaned Black kids.
Also it is unrealistic to think that in a case such
as this where the smaller and younger white kids
completely control the larger and older Black
kids that the Blacks will remain in the group for
long. It is also apparent that if a so-called friend
puts a noose around my neck in order to insure
that he would not get lost in a cave and then later
pulls on the rope to insure that I was still there,
According to
is the greatest
one of the ideas
November 9.
Bradbury suggests that man enjoys killing and
would like to have large wars, but that the hydro-
gen bomb produces too great a threat to allow
that type of activity any longer. As a result of
this threat, man has had to find other outlets
for his destructive tendency.
Left with small wars such as Vietnam, man has
begun to use automobiles as one of his most im-
portant weapons. Compared with the number of
people killed in automobile accidents during the
same time period, the number of American deaths
in Vietnam is insignificant. Ray Bradbury does
not drive, he has never learned to drive. He
suggests that instead of burning draft cards, we
whould turn in our drivers licenses. He also
predicts that the automobile will be outlawed in
the near future.
Bradbury says that man is going into outer
space becuase of a desire to live forever and that
through space travel man will be able to fulfill
this desire in the widespread continuation of the
race. He also says that the adventures of space
can be a substitute for war. Ray Bradbury states
that we "must fuse a single race of man" and
that this can be done through our efforts in space.
He has an optimistic outlook. He thinks that
while we will do everything wrong the first time,
we will do everything right the next time. He also
thinks that it is impossible to crush the human
spirit.
Ray Bradbury also said, "It is easy to predict
the future." He feels that what is important is not
the prediction of the future but how we mold the
future- Dorothy Cady

SAN ANTONIO — Bruce L.
Copley, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Dwight P. Copley of 6220 Stow
Canyon Road, Goleta, Calif.,
has been commissioned a
second lieutenant in the U.S.
Air Force upon graduation from
Officers Training School (OTS)
at Lackland AFB. Tex.
A 1965 graduate of Buena
High School, Ventura, Calif.,
the lieutenant received hisB.A.
degree in 1969 from California
Lutheran College.
Lieutenant Copley, selected
for OTS through competitive ex-
amination, is being assigned to
Reese AFB, Tex., for pilot

Administrative
Position
For Alumni
John McCune, 25, of River-
side, Calif., who received the
B.A. with honors as a member
of California Lutheran Col.
lege's first graduating class
of 1964 has been hired to fill
the post of assistant to the
president at Moorhead State
College, Minnesota.
The son of a retired U.S.
Air Force squadron comman-
der, McCune graduated from
Riverside High School, then en.
rolled at the new California
Lutheran College at Thousand
Oaks with a double major in
English and political science
where he was a student in the
English class of Dr. Roland
Dille, who is now the presi-
dent of Moorhead State.
Continuing his higher educa-
tion, McCune took post-graduate
work for a year at George Wash-
inton University at Wash.,
D.C., with the intent of enter-
ing the diplomatic corps, but
changed his mind, returning
home to spend a year earning
his teaching credential at Calif-
ornia State College of Los An-
geles. He taught English in high
school before entering the U.S.
Army where he was trained
originally as a data processing
specialist, but was wounded in
Vietnam during the first nine
months of active service. He

ing the rest of his two-year
duty tour as secretary to the
commander of an artillery bri-
gade staioned at the Presidio

Sixth Army.
Alumni
Introduced
THE ALUMNI RE TURN I How-
ever, to the present Student
Body, who so graciously have
invited us back we are not too
well known. Therefore, the
reason for this article is to
hopefully introduce you, the
Student Body, to us the Alumni.
It would be useless to list the
approximately 2,000 names of
the alumni nor do I care to
outline our divergent philoso-
phies on life since that would
take volumes, not just a news-
paper article. Perhaps the only
item I can pass on to you is
what the alumni are doing for
a livelihood. First, we are now
spread over forty of the fifty
states and several foreign coun-
tries to include South Vietnam,
unfortunately. The alumni of
CLC have found a wide variety
of employment and for some of
us a variety of unemployment.
When leaving CLC there are
several roads to choose from:
1) further academic pursuits,
2) Military service, 3) home-
maker, and or 4) a profession.
We have representatives on all
four roads plus a few on side
paths.
We have compiled a partial
listing of those professions and
pursuits which were noted on a
questionaire recently sent to
all alumni. Many alumni have
obtained a Master's Degree with
several striving for their Ph.D
in their respective fields. We
have alumni in the Army, Navy,
Air Force, Marines and the
Peace Corps. Others keep busy
teaching school, coaching at hie-
tic teams and even one who is
the Assistant to the President
of Moorhead State Teacher's
College in Minnesota. Others
include Accountants (C.P.A.),
Management, Medical Techni-
clans, Lawyers, Dentists, Pas-
tors and Youth Workers. We
also have one actress, one pro-
fessional musician (owner-
partner of his own record com-
pany) and one self-employed
fisherman.
I realize this does little to
make you familiar with the
Alumni but I do sincerely hope
that during this busy Home-
coming Weekend you take the
opportunity to talk to some of
us who are here visiting your
campus. An excellent oppor-
tunity to meet with us would be
the Student-Alumni Picnic on
Saturday, 11:30 - 12:30 p.m.
I am sure you will find many
of us with questions to ask of .
you who are nowattendingCLC.
We won't be hard to recognize,
the men have short hair, if
any, and a good start on a pot
belly, and the women have the
longer skirts with lots of young,
screaming kids running around.
Thank you Associated Student
Body of Cal Lutheran, for ask-
ing us back and we hope to talk
to many of you before the week-
end is over.

CLC Group
Demonstrates
November Moratorium
By JOEL DAVIS
A group headed by ASB Pres-
ident Phil Reitan, English Pro-
fessor Michael Taggart, and Pas-
tor Gerald Swanson participated
in the midnight to midnight read*
ing of the Vietnam War Dead
last Friday and Saturday at the
Ventura County Courthouse.
Members of the group took turns
reading the list of American
victims of the Vietnam War from
a candle-lit lectern in the steps
of the Courthouse from midnight
to 4 A.M. Saturday morning.
At midnight Friday the stu-
dents present joined hands in a
circle and sang "Give Peace a
Chance." Then Steve Rosemary
stepped to the rostrum andK with
the large American Flag in front
of the lectern stirring slightly
in the breeze, began reading the
list of California servicemen
killed in the Vietnam War.
There were only about eighteen
people present at the Courthouse
when the demonstration began,
but the number swelled to about
forty.fi ve by 3 A.M. when it be-
gan to taper off again.
Dave Johnson, one of the CLC
students present, was asked how
many students from Cal Luther,
an were present. He replied that
in his estimation "about twenty
to twenty.five students, all told"
participated in the Courthouse
demonstration.
Because of the early hour,
public reaction to the demonstra-
tion was sparse. Small groups of
young people drifted in and out
during the period of CLC partic-
ipation; quite a few cars drove
past, also, but except for a few
shouted obscenities there was no
overt opposition to the demon,
stration. Several drivers, in fact,
shouted encouragement. There
was no violence of any kind.
At 4 A.M. a group from Moor,
park College took to the lectern.
They were to be followed by
groups from Thousand Oaks,
Ojai, and Ventura College in the
solemn reading of the 40,000
American victims of the Viet-
nam War.
Gornitzka Speaks
On Rebels
On Friday morning, November
14, the CLC Homecoming Convo-
cation was pleased to present to
the CLC community Dr. Reuben
Gornitzka. Dr. Gornitzka, active
in various aspects of public rela-
tions as a minister, confidential
counselor, author, corporation
consultant and radio and televi-
sion personality, spoke on the
topic "Rebel for a rebel's sake
or for a cause?" Through a
development of modern tech-
nology and man's reaction to
it, Dr. Gornitzka discussed the
part of a rebel in our society.
In a society that appears to
be coming more harried and im-
personal as technology advances,
it is Dr. Gornitzka's opinion
that the rebel must have a cause.
He strengthened this idea through
his closing statements concern-
ing Jesus as a rebel. He spoke
of Christ as the rebel with the
most previous cause of the world
. to bring people together. It is
Dr. Gornitzka's hope that a rebel
of the present will work to
counter. act the separation caused
by technological achievements
and not merely to rebel for the
sake of rebelling.
Following Dr. Gornitzka's
speech there was a short ques-
tion and answer period in the
gym which was in turn followed
by an informal gathering in the
CUB.
Kuethe Expounds
On Humanities
On November 3, Dr. Kuethe
spoke in chapel on the subject
of the future of the humanities.
He said that the great question
now for the humanities is "Can
the humanities any longer human-
ize, i.e., can they fill the ethical
vacuum In contemporary soci-
ety?"
There are no longer identifi-
able and permanent standards and
values. Value is a goal, not an
achievement. Value is a challenge
to sensitize a democracy about
love of one's neighbors. Values
emanate from the perceiver.
What we need is the old meaning
of 'tradition," transmission of
sensitivity to the urgency of the
moment.
We must learn to take Jesus
seriously, and really start loving
our neighbor. We must learn to
prize difference of opinion. We
must learn to feel the questions
another culture Is probing.
The humanities have to reduce
the distance between their
classes and life. We must learn
to speculate beyond reason, and
to dream dreams of what hasn't
been, but what must be.
Therefore, we can not find
our future in books or instltu-
tlons. We must experiment with
a life style never tried before
in human society. The means of
adopting it or the benefits it
will give us have never been
fully explored.
Objective analysis doesn't pro-
vide the equipment to make judg-
ments on the level of humanities.
Goodness can't be taught. Jesus
taught in parables to engage us
in life, not in analysis. If we
merge objective analysis with
passionate engagement, then we
can use each to explain what
the other won't. We will then
learn how to live life.
Fall Fall Concert Critique
by Gene Pfrimmer
(Editor's Note: Mr. Pfrimmer is presently a junior Psychology major
at CLC. He has studied journalism, specializing in writing critiques
in the fine arts. He has been a member of the following musical or-
ganizations:
San Diego Civic Youth Orchestra, Southern California Vocalists
Association Honor Choir, Western Music Educators National Convention
Honor Chojr, San Diego County and City Honor Choirs, Crawford High
School Choir-Demonstration Choir for '66 California Music Educators
Convention, Crawford High School Madrigal Group-Chosen to perform at
WMENC '67 in Las Vegas, Nevada, Hidden Valley Music Seminar Choir.)
On Saturday night, November 8,
the CLC music department pre-
sentedtts fall concert in the gym.
The three-part presentation con-
sisted of the "Canzon Nona Toni
for Antiphonal Brass Choirs"
by Giovanni Gabrieli, the "Ves-
perae Solennes de Confessore"
by Wolfgang Mozart, and "The
Telephone," a one act comic
opera by Gian-Carlo Menotti.
This program arrangement
was sufficiently varied and prom-
ised an evening of interesting
contrast. However, on the whole,
the concert proved to be a dis-
appointing one. It was marked
by problems of control, phras-
ing, pitch, technique, and an over
all lack of musicianship. Despite
the variety and contrast of the
program, the presentation was
full of dull similarity.
Gabrieli's "Canzon" headed
the program and the performance
was, without a doubt, poor. A
portion of the problems the brass
choirs had with the piece are
attributable to the antiphonal ar-
rangement, one brass choir being
on either side of the auditorium.
Such problems as ensemble
blend, togetherness during ritar.
dando passages and metric chang-
es are easily understood in this
context. But dropped notes, bad
phrasing and poorly timed en-
trances are inexcusable.
The music of Gabrieli is preg-
nant with the fecundity of coun-
terpoint waiting to bear its can-
onlcal fruit. However, the total
lack of control and musicianship
of the brass choirs can only lead
to the description of the perfor-
mance as miscarriage.
The Mozart "Vesperae Solen-
nes de Confessore" or "Solemn
Vespers," a joint effort of choir
and symphonette, was also dis-
appointing.
The string section Introduced
the work with a sloppy, muddled
sound characterized by impre-
cise pitch. With the choir
entrance in the "Dixit" section
the pitch was narrowed In spec
trum, but there was a feeling of
imperfect control of the notes
that lent an air of imprecise-
ness to the sound. This control
problem, in fact, was recurrent
throughout the piece.
The sopranos were probably
the worst offenders. In the "Con.
fitebor" the soprano in the solo
quartet gave the impression that
the music was well out of hand,
the soprano section also having
difficulty In this particular seg-
ment. Soprano problems were
again seen in the "Laudate Dom-
inum" and the «*Magnificat."The
sopranos were not the only of-
fenders, however, as in the '*Bea-
tur Vir" the tenors came through
with a sound closely resembling
an hysterical shriek.
Another problem was the enun.
elation and phrasing. The words
were unclear in general, but at
the ends of phrases they were
completely lost. Also, the lower
bass notes were unclear and the
sound was very thin. All of this
added up to ostensibly poor phras-
ing.
In spite of these criticisms
there were some beautiful mo-
ments. The fullness of sound in
the "Laudate puerl" and the
"Magnificat" was Impressive.
The dynamic contrast was con.
sistent and well done throughout
the piece. But there was a def-
inite paucity of intensity in
anything but forte or fortissimo
passages; without this Intensity
Mozart is dull and lackluster.
That is why the choir presented
a disappointing and decidedly
mediocre Mozart.
In contrast, Menotti 's "The
Telephone" was the highlight of
the evening. "The Telephone"
is a delightful little work about
a gentleman's thwarted marriage
proposals, the thwarting culprit
being the telephone. The two
leads, Bonnie Blume as Lucy
and Jim Wilber as Ben, were
both interesting and convincing.
Although the acting was stilted
at first, both Miss Blume and
Mr. Wilber loosened up and gave
delightful performances.
Mr. Wilber has an excellent
baritone voice that is flexible
and well • controlled. His por-
trayal of Ben was very pleasing
although on occasion his lower
notes did lack depth. But Mr.
Wilber's control and depth of
sound are impressive and are
generally consistent throughout
his wide range.
Miss Blume is a soprano with
beautiful tone and a calm, cool
control of her voice. As Lucy,
this control was very evident.
As the soprano soloist in the
"Laudate Domlnum," of the Mo-
zart, however, this control was
not consistent as her vibrato tend,
ed to widen and slow down during
extended phrases or notes. She
also exhibited a certain insensi-
tivity to the Mozart that was
not the case in "The Telephone."
There she presented an excel-
lent understanding of her pass-
ages and portrayed them well.
The opera was obviously well
thought out as the desired con-
ceptlon was achieved. Congratu-
lations are in order to Mr. Gert
Muser for his excellent dlrec-
tion of the opera.
It would seem, thus, that the
CLC music department is capable
of producing good work, and more
importantly of producing good
music that is vibrant with the
life of the composer's intent.
Ill-concelved and half-prepared
works do not belong in the realm
of music and they do not belong
at CLC. Therefore, in the com-
ing musical performances at
CLC, it would be Interesting to
see a decrease in quantity, and
a significant increase in quality.

♦The Pink House Experience"

Dear Editor,
In the October 23 issue of
the Mountclef Echo there appear-
ed an article entitled 'fThe 'Pink
House* Experience." The article
opened by stating that "F
Wednesday evening for an hour
between 9:00 and 10:00 there is
an opportunity to encounter the
living Jesus c s revealed
by the Holy Spirit [n the Bible."
It concluded with the two ques-
tlons, "Want to hi nd study
Want to deepeii

Prior to and since the October
23 article I have visited the
"Bible studies" sever a times.
I have had an opportunity to hear
Swindle, Sarkissian and Rempt
(guest speakers of the Pink
House). What they have to say is
certainly Bible oriented and chal-
lenging to the person who is con.
stantly worried about being
"saved" and taken out oi
"terrible" world. The chalh
to become involved and turn
world upside down, however, is
lost in the familiar but somehow
peculiar pin uses; "Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus," "Praise the Lord," or
"Hallelujah." 1 seriously ques-
fcion the term Bible study when
connected with the meetings.
There is no place for honest
questioning, dialogue, or under-
standing unless one has a given
understanding of Jesus, the Bible,
and the Holy Spirit. Then, how-
ever, the questioning, dialogue,
and understanding is not in any
objective or honest. One
individual several weeks ago ask.

to his own life and hopefully
others'. He was challenged by
others to start his own group;
stay out if his only intention was
to disrupt the group. One mem-
ber of the Pink House asked the
individual if he was "saved"
before even trying to understand
the nature of the problem which
led to the original questions.
Since that evening many others
have been asking similar ques-
tions at the meetings only to be
turned off, held off until the end
of the meeting, or given super fi-
cial answers to complex ques-
tions.
It is difficult for me to ex-
perience the Jesus Christ they
are offering, let alone the peo-
pie themselves. There is a feel-
ing of defensiveness and insecur-
ity which causes some people to
almost entirely orient conver-
through Bible verses. It
can not be denied that the Pink
House is meeting the needs of
some people, but I question the
needs bi fulfilled when they
take the form of fear, misguided
love, and group reiteration of
traditional beliefs without chal-
lenge.
Christianity today can no long-
er supply the pat answers and
the words which themselves have
come to new definitions. We must
understand that Jesus lived at a
particular time in history and
used the language of his day.
He did change understandings of
words and concepts but he used
his language. Today we have a
different language and many con.
cepts and beliefs expanded by
science, technology, philosophy
and Biblical Theology. As a re-
sult, Christianity at the onset
may appear and actually be very
simple; but as one gropes for new
ideas and Insights into life,
entire nature of Christianity and
its potential becomes much more
complex.
I encourage anyone and every-
one interested in seeking the
place and relevancy of Christi-
anity today to visit the Pink House
and see what he will encounter.
I further encourage response to
this article as the Pink House
is a complex and troubling ques-
tion to many of us. I would hope,
whether or not one responds, that
he would visit and try to under-
stand what is taking place at the
House.
Big
Students Seek Solutions
If a majority of student government work
is being handled by committees and commis-
sions, perhaps it is time to reevaluate
them and to examine their quality and abil-
ity to handle the specific duties with
which they are charged. Further, if the
Student Publications Commission is an exam-
ple of the quality and ability of such com-
mittees, we may as well leave student gov-
ernment decisions in the hands of the buck
passers.
This article is not a reflection upon
the Senate's selection of John Guth as
Echo editor. Indeed, we commendhis ap-
pointment. The fumbling and boggling
of the Student Publications Commission
and their inability to make the reques-
ted selection of the Echo editor for
the Senate's subsequent approval leads
us to wonder exactly what the commission
has been doing for the past quarter.
When Bill Bowers resigned from the
editorship of the Echo, Senate gave the
responsibility of selecting a new editor
and the formulation of a policy guide for
his selection to the Student Publications
Commission. An argument ensued over the
order of their priority: should the policy
guide come first, or should the selection
of the editor? The commission cannot yet
agree .
In addition to this basic difference of
opinion, such actions as the division of
this commission (of less than a dozen mem-
bers) into three smaller groups (consisting
of 3 or 4 members, which did not meet when
they were supposed to) , whether or not a
candidate for the editorship who was also
on the committee could vote for himself,
and personality conflicts among members of
the commission all contributed to the total
nothingness of commission action. The
final shroud of evidence — the Commissioner
cancelling the last meeting the commission
could have before the Senate would call for
their report — reflects the ineffectiveness
of the commission, and of its members' in-
ability to respond to what is not, as cir-
cumstances would make us believe, an impos-
sible task.
Where to place the blame for the commis-
sion's incompetence is a question which the
Senate should investigate: is it, as the
Commissioner would have us believe, an ide-
ological conflict among the members of his
commission (he chose them himself) or is
it the Commissioner himself?
The buck has got to stop somewhere .

Let -down
Dear Editor:
The convocation speech by Dr.
Reuben Gornitzka was heralded
by written word and adminis-
trative action as an event of
importance not to be missed.
The topic, **Rebel for Rebel's
Sake or for a Cause" indicated
a relevant discussion of issues
foremost in the minds of students
involved in any political actlvt.
ties on or off campus. The can.
cellation of third period classes
by the administration indicated
that Dr. Gornitzka would have a
message of such importance that
students would be assured of the
chance to question and discuss
his points with him. With these
expectations, we attended the con.
vocation.
The significance and quality
of Dr. Gornitzka's speech, how-
ever, was not equal to the pub.
licity and especially was not of
the same excellence of theprevi-
ous speakers who we have been
privileged to hear this year.
His speech neither stimulated
our minds nor warranted a dis-
cussion period afterwards be.
cause of the lack of any schol-
arly or creative thought on his
part. His topics were of a gen.
eral nature, directed toward the
emotional appeal of subjects al-
ready discussed around the kit-
chen table in every tract-box
house In America.
In summary it was simply a
rehash lacking in uniqueness and
in any directedness to the con.
cerns and issues of students.
Sincerely,

Unique
Is
Wrestling
Wrestling is probably the most
demanding sport of any on the
college scene today. No other
sport demands so much of the ath-
lete's energy and dedication. T/he
wrestler has no noticable rest
period during his eight minute
match. There are three rounds,
but the referee is responsible
for making sure that there is no
time for rest between them. All
that happens between rounds is
that the referee stops the wrest-
lers, takes them back to the cen-
ter of the mat, gets them into
the proper position, and starts
them wrestling again. In most
sports, the athlete sets his own
pace (as in track) or is allowed
to rest between plays (as in foot-
ball). The pace of a wrestler is
not only set to a certain extent
by the rules which call for con-
tinuous action, but also by his
opponent, who is hoping for a sign
of weakness or tiring, at which
time he doubles his efforts to
score. Wrestling is almost the
only individual contact sport.
Thus it means that the wrestler
must be prepared to prove him-
self the better wrestler to any-
one in his weight class. To do
this, he must have the condition,
ing of an exceptional cross-coun-
try runner, the aggressiveness of
a good linebacker, the quickness
of a cat, and the dedication of
a zealot.
Since wrestling is an individ.
ual sport, the teams are divided
into weight classes, ten in college
and thirteen in high school. Most
wrestlers try to lose weight in
order to compete in the lowest
weight class possible. They do
this so that they will be one of
the strongest in any match that
they will wrestle. Some wrest-
lers do not cut weight, but often
find themselves wrestling big.
ger, stronger opponents. One of
the most difficult things that a
wrestler has to do is to be cut-
ting weight when everyone around
him is not worrying about what
they eat in the least little bit.
That is what I mean by dedica-
tion. To do this and to go through
a rough two-hour work-out is
extremely hard and demands not
only much desire, but often a lot
of courage. Wrestling is truly
a unique sport for men of cour-
age and dedication.

Women's
Volleyball
T - shirts, tennis shoes, and
knee pads were not previewed in
this year's fashion forecast; how-
ever, for thirteen members of
our campus, the members of the
Women's Intercollegiate Volley-
ball Team, they are a very real
part of the wardrobe.
This is the first year that the
CLC women have entered inter-
collegiate competition in volley-
ball on the small college level.
They are playing schools such
as Biola, Whittier, La Verne,
and Pomona. The season is al-
ready half over, and the team
still is facing a second half
against some strong opponents
— especially Biola, a team which
is at this date the league's first
place team.
Under the coaching of Miss
Nena Amundson, the team has
worked very hard to build up to
the competitive level. They have
been working out since Septem-
ber, and practicing every day,
often with the help of some ex-
pert spikers on loan from the
men's athletic teams.
The team breaks down into
two squads for competition: the
"A" team, playing the best three
games out of five; and the "B"
team, playing a match of the
best two games out of three.
At this point in the season, the
"B" team has acquired a 3-2
win-loss record; the "A" team
has suffered some heartbreaking
losses and are relying on the
second part of the season and
the upcoming games to Improve
their statistics.
The team will travel to Whit,
tier next Monday for a game, and
will play their next home game
a week from Monday (November
24) at 7:30 p.m. against Pomona.
Volleyball is a very fast-
moving game requiring a high
degree of skill, coupled with
alertness of the individual and
cooperative teamwork. These
women are giving their all as
representative of Cal Lutheran
and the Intercollegiate program.
The members of the team include:
Sandy Kitts, Barb Merril, Sue
Metzler, Dorothy Morrison ("A"
Team captain), Patty Morrison,
Diane Short, Rebecca Grunwald,
Karen Jacobsen, Martha Moreno,
Chris Mavery, Margie Nichols,
Rita Rodes (4IB" Team captain),
and Diane Spengler.
Foregoing fashions' call, at
least while on the volleyball
court, these women are taking
an active part in the ever-growing
role of women in competitive
sports.
Basketball season has started
and the first game isnH far away.
The varsity has two scrimmages
coming up, one with Moorpark,
and the other with Ventura J.C.
Thursday night, Dec. 20th, is the
annual alumni game, which pits
former stars from CLC, such as
Mike Mayfield, Craig Meyers,
Wendell Smith, and Marv Branch
against this year's varsity. The
game starts at 8:00 with a fresh-
man inter-squad game at 6:00.
The split between varsity and
freshman has been made and
both teams appear to be loaded
with quickness and fine shooters.
Although neither team will be
extremely tall, both have their
share of height. The varsity has
only three returning lettermen:
6'5" Don Hossler, 6' Tim Iver-
son, both juniors, and 5'9" soph-
omore, Ralph Lucas. Junior to
transfer from Ventura, 6'2" Tim

Tobin has been looking good, as

Meeks, 6*1", and 5'11" Steve

and Will Wilson, 5'9", from Trea-
sure Valley J.C. Up from last
year's frosh team are: 6'7"
Wayne Erickson, 6'6" Ed Still-
Ian, 6'3" Roger Codlom, and
5'9" Paul Rueter. Four fresh.
men are going to play both frosh
and varsity, they are: 6'5" Rick
Gerding, 6'6" Clay Hitchcock,
6'3" Ed Hernberger, and 6'2"
John Siemens.
On the freshman team are:
6'6" Reggie Stoner, 5*9" Rick
Daley, 6'3" Byron Calos, 6*3"
Dan Scott, 6'2" Daryl Dorr, 6*1"
Mike Berge, 6» Dave Kruse, 6'2"
John Strawder, 6*1" Bob Swita,
6*1" Mark Swintoski, and 5*10"
John Perrin. The freshmen prom-
ise to be one of the best frosh
teams CLC has had with the
four men playing both ways, Reg.
gie Stoner on the boards, and
Rick Daley's shooting.
In total, the basketball pro-
gram here seems to be on the
upswing. This year appears to be
one in which optimism prevails
and the Kingsmen fans are likely
to see some exciting, winning,
basketball.

Lucia Bride '69
Are You There?
The Lucia Bride ceremony is coming December
7th as part of the annual CLC Christmas program.
The election to choose Lucia Bride and her four
princesses will be held in the dorms Monday night,
December 1st. Lucia Bride will be chosen from
the Senior Class; a girl deserving of this honor
based on the qualities of unselfishness, friendli-
ness, and Christian service will be selected.
Each girl will nominate one senior girl as well
as one girl from her own class. The four girls
chosen from eacli of the classes will act as Lucia
Bride's princesses. Voting will be done by ballot.
The legends of Lucia Bride, whose name means
light, are very old, one of the better known of them
originating in Sweden. It concerns a woman named
Lucia who lived during the Middle Ages. She fell
in love and was to be married during the Christ,
mas season, but while on a walk shortly before
her wedding she saw several poor people unable
to celebrate Christmas. She gave them her dowry,
whereby, according to Swedish custom, making it
impossible for her to get married. After her fiance
rejected her, Lucia dedicated the remainder of
her life to serving less fortunate people, espe-
cially during the Christmas season.
Her actions were misinterpreted and on Decem-
ber 13, 304 A.D., she was condemned to be burn-
ed as a witch. Miraculously the flames from the
fire would not burn her, but her executioner stabbed
her to death. It is believed that Lucia returned to
earth in later years, seeking to help the poor and
has come to be considered a Saint, as seen in her
name Santa Lucia.
Today Swedish families honor the legend of Santa
Lucia by choosing the eldest female daughter to act
as the Lucia Bride by wearing a white robe and a
wreath of lighted candles while serving breakfast
to her family. The candles she wears as the queen
or bride of light are a symbol of the Holy Spirit
telling of the birth of Christ.
Walkathon Helps
Hospital
A total of fifty-seven miles was walked by CLC
students in a Walkathon sponsored by the Mental
Health Association of Ventura on Sunday, Novem-
ber 23rd. The Walkathon was held to raise money
towards the building of a Resocialization Center in
Ventura. This Center will be aplace where socially
unskilled persons will be able to learn or re-learn
important skills. The Walkathon began at 8:30
a.m. at Brennan's Nursery on Wells Road in Ven-
tura and continued down Telegraph Road and Main
Street to the future Headquarters of the Associa-
Hon. The walk continued along a beach circuit.
Two weeks prior to the walk, several of Mrs.
Carmalt's speech classes were informed of the
event. Most of the walkers began accumulating
pledges from sponsors one week before the walk.
Friends, teachers, businessmen, strangers, and
all types of people were asked to pledge a cer-
tain amount of money per mile; the pledges ranged
from 10 cents to $1.50 per mile. People were very
willing to support this cause, especially since it
was tax deductible and offered free advertisement
to the business organizations.
At 7:30 a.m. students from CLC gathered in the
cafeteria for breakfast and they also got sack
lunchs from the school. After some delay, Bar-
bara Merrill and Joan Erlcson arrived by car at
the Nursery in Ventura at 9:40 to begin the walk.
They were the 16th and 17th persons to register
and write signs with lists of their sponsors to be
taped to their backs. They were joined by another
walker from Moorpark Junior College, Marlys
Litterly, freshman.
After the first mile, one of the shuttle cars
stopped and offered cool drinks. All along the
way, fruit, candy and juice were available from
these cars driven by members of the Mental
Health Association. Each mile was marked with
a small cardboard sign. The four mile mark
at the Towne House on Telegraph Road offered a
place to rest, but the three girls continued non-
stop to the eight mile mark on East Main Street.
Along the way many cars stopped while the curious
occupants read the signs.
One woman walker was overtaken by the three
girls who found out that she was getting about
$25 per mile. One of her chief sponsors was the
library at Pt. Hueneme, besides other friends and
businessmen. While stopping to rest on a bus bench
she had even been approached by two people who
gave her a dollar apiece towards the cause.
Dave Kronberg and Mary Hardin joined the
walkers at 1 p.m. and each completed 10 miles,
also wearing signs with lists of their sponsors.
Following a short break at the future headquar-
ters of the Association, Barbara, Marlys, and Joan
continued following the beach circuit down Cali-
fornia Street, along the beach, and up Laurel
Street past the future Center. The second time
around the circuit, Joan stopped to sit on the
beach while Barbara jogged around. The girl from
Moorpark stopped walking. The two girls from CLC
then returned to the presently deserted office on
East Main Street where pictures were taken and
final mileage was calculated. Deciding that they
hadn't walked enough, Barbara and Joan hobbled
four miles back to the Town House where they
stumbled upon their waiting car at 5 p.m., com-
pleting 20 miles for Barbara and 17 for Joan.
Approximately twenty-one students and adults
from Ventura, Camarillo, and Thousand Oaks
walked during the day. The total amount earned
through pledges was $1500.
The walk was not as organized as it could have
been, but enthusiasm did not wear off, and even
as the walkers Intermittently were passed by surf-
board-laden cars, they undauntedly sang and grumb-
led their way along. The only visible effects of the
day's walk were several blisters, which seemed
Insignificant when compared to the overall feeling
of accomplishment.
Dr. Campbell and Mr. Pitman were two of Bar-
bara's sponsors and several of Joan's sponsors
were the Mountclef Echo, Beta Hall, and Rev.
Swanson, campus pastor.
Pride, states Ayn Rand (The Virtue of Selfishness, p. 27), ". . .
means that one must earn the right to hold oneself as one's own
highest value by achieving one's own moral perfection — which
one achieves by never accepting any code of irrational virtues
Impossible to practice and by never falling to practice the virtues
one knows to be rational. . ."

cific publication (s) and let them know.
(2) OR drop a note (this flyer will do nicely) to Box No. 2991,
and we (the W/s Information Clearinghouse) will do the rest. . .
Sweet Dreams ? Not With Pills
LOS ANGELES— Most sleep-
ing pills that promise "sweet"
dreams in advertisements don't
live up to that promise, and
users are fortunate if they dream
very much at all.
This was discovered in the
course of developing a new
method of evaluating effective-
ness of sleep drugs at the UCLA
Medical Center's sleep research
and treatment facility.
Brain wave records taken
during sleep arc an objective
means of determining exactly
when a subject falls asleep, how
long he stays asleep, how much
he dreams and the levels of deep
sleep he achieves, according to
Dr. Anthony Kales, director of
the facility.
Most sleeping pills suppress
dreaming, it was found. When
the drugs are discontinued, the
user tends to dream excessively
for a time. Some persons have
frequent nightmares following
drug withdrawal. This appears
to be related to the degree of
dependency on the drug.
Several drugs significantly in-
duced sleep initially, but their
effectiveness diminshed marked-
ly after a week. One over-the-
counter sleeping tablet had no
effect on sleeping patterns at
all.
UC-Berkeley Engineers
Photograph Nerve Link
BERKELEY — University of
California engineers here have
achieved the first photographic
mapping of a complete nerve
linkage from one cell to another.
Their achievement opens a
whole new method — using the
scanning electron microscope —
for studying the complex neural
communications networks neces-
sary to most living creatures.
The research team, headed by
Edwin R. Lewis, associate profes-
sor of electrical engineering, is
using a relatively new application
of the scanning electron micro-
scope to examine specimens of
nerve tissue taken from the ab-
domen of a marine snail.
They have obtained the first
photographs of what are identi-
fied as synaptic knobs — the crucial
point where the nerve impulse is
passed along from one cell to
another.
Taken at magnifications of
about 20,000 times, they show
with remarkable three-dimen-
sional clarity a number of such
knobs at the ends of fibers which
seem to lie across each other like
a random pile of logs.
The photographs show an area
perhaps as large as the tip of a
pin.
Other photographs at lower
magnifications show complex
bundles of such fibers and knobs
lying together in clusters at the
point where a large "trunkline"
fiber from one cell meets a sim-
ilar fiber from another cell.
The engineers noticed that the
knobs seemed to have five or six
vnoK which wpi-p firmlv attached
to other knobs or nerve tissue.
A montage of photographs
taken as the microscope moved
along the specimen traced the
complete linkage from cell to cell.

EDITORIAL
Lately, many people have been confused as
to who is the Editor of the Echo. Let me
clarify the situation I am involved in:
At the beginning of this Fall quarter, Bill
Bowers was the Editor. After the first
issue, due to personal reason, he resigned
as Editor. At this time, the A.S.B. Senate
appointed myself as Editor for the Fall
quarter, with the option of reapplying at
the end of the Fall quarter for the remaining
two quarters (Winter and Spring quarters) .
I exercised the option and chose not to
reapply for the remaining year. As a result,
John Guth has been selected as Editor for
the remaining year .
During this quarter, the newspaper has
attempted to gain a firmer technical and
financial foundation from which to operate;
and has, for the most part, succeeded in
this task. Guth will have this foundation
from which to advance his editorial policies
and goals. I wish him luck and success for
the remainder of the year.
I would like to now thank all of those
people whose contributions to this quarters
newspaper were most graciously appreciated;
and I would like to extend a special thank
you to the following people for their special
efforts: Kerry Denman, Shireen DiVackey, Ray
Digiglio, Melanie Smith, and Marilyn Frost.

Miniskirts
Easy On Eyes, Hard on Ears
LOS ANGELES — Miniskirts
may be easy on the eyes, accord-
ing to general male consensus,
but they can be hard on the ears.
"Clothes absorb sound," says
Dr. Vera O. Knudsen of UCLA.
"With fewer clothes, as a general
rule, a person reflects more sound
waves, resulting in greater re-
verberations."
The former UCLA Chancellor
voices no objections to miniskirts
on esthetic grounds. But he offers
some scientific reservations as a
noted acoustician, whose profes-
sional know-how is reflected in
some 500 auditoriums and concert
halls, including the first movie
sound stages, the Hollywood
Bowl, and the Los Angeles Music
Center.
"As long ago as 1849, the great
American physicist Joseph Henry
pointed out the relationship be-
tween people's clothing and the
quality of sound in a concert hall
or lecture room," says Dr.
Knudsen.
One of the first to act on this
observation in 1802 was Brigham
Young, who was disturbed by the
excessive reverberations in the
newly-opened Mormon Taber-
nacle in Salt Lake City. To
dampen the sound, the Mormon
leader asked the ladies to bring
extra overcoats and skirts and
hang them on the walls.
In designing modern structures,
today's experts generally assume
that most audiences will be fully
dressed, and that some ladies may
come to concert halls in evening
gowns and furs.
However, as skirts go up and
absorption goes down, the acous-
tical calculations may be thrown
off. To prove the point, Dr. Knud-
sen and his colleague. Dr. Leo P.
Delsasso, assembled 10 mini-
skirted UCLA secretaries in the
physics department's reverbera-
tion chamber.
The scientists fired a pistol shot
and analyzed the result in sabines.
The lower the sabine count, the
less sound is absorbed.
The 10 miniskirted girls scored
an average of 2.5 sabines each.
In a 1964 test, taken in the same
place and under the same con-
ditions with 10 men and women,
the group scored an average of
4.0 sabines each.
"Transferring the findings to,
let's say, a rock and roll concert,"
says Dr. Knudsen, "it . is likely
that the place would sound less
raucous if the girls wore long
skirts and woolens. However, we
must be acoustically thankful that
they don't wear bikinis."
Judge Learned Hand:
"Our nation is embarked upon a
venture as yet unproved; we have
set our hopes upon a community in
which men shall be given un-
checked control of their own lives.
That community is in peril; it is
invaded from within, it is threat-
ened from without; it faces a test
which it may fail to pass. The
choice is ours whether, if we hear
the pipes of Pan, we shall stampede
like a frightened flock, forgetting
all those professions on which we
have claimed to rest our polity."

Songmy
By Wilfred Burchett
Guardian staff correspondent
Paris
With the revelation in the Western press of the mass killings of the
Inhabitants of Songmy last year, the world now recognizes that U.S. lead-
ers and military commanders in Vietnam are guilty of the same type of
war crimes for which the Nazi leaders were hanged. These crimes are
not simplv "mistakes."
As the delegates of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of
South Vietnam have pointed out, the destruction of Songmy is only one of
a number of large-scale murders of civilians by the U.S. and its allies
and that these massacres are only part of the larger picture of deliber-
ate and methodical daily acts of murder and destruction in South Viet,
nam by U.S. bombing, napalming and poison chemicals.
m
Details of the Songmy massacre were revealed in a letter from a local
section of the Liberation Women's Association of South Vietnam re-
leased by the PRG delegation at a Nov. 20 press conference of the Paris
talks. Actually, long before reports about Songmy were published in
the U.S., the letter had been presented to a press conference in Hanoi
by PRG ambassador Nguyen Van Tien, who is now the deputy chief of
the PRG delegation to the talks here.
The letter describes an artillery bombardment which was followed by
the arrival of U.S. troops in Songmy by helicopter on March 16, 1968:
"From the moment of their arrival, the aggressors opened fire on every-
body, sparing no one, destroying houses and livestock. The U.S. troops
were shouting 'Vietcongf Vietcongl They covered a wounded mother
with a baby at her breast with lime. Two young women were raped and
then killed together with their four children. . . A group of about one
hundred women, children and old people were herded towards a canal
and machine-gunned and then grenades were thrown into the heap of
wounded and dying and dismembered bodies lying in a sea of blood.
Small children who were not hit by bullets or grenade fragments were
smothered under the weight of bodies.
The report from the Women's Association says that the obvious pur-
pose of the operation was to destroy the village and massacre the inhabi-
tants. Continuing, the letter states: "In a single day, 502 people in our
and neighboring hamlets who were working here were massacred under
horrible circumstances. Over 170 children were killed. In our hamlet. . .
nothing Is left but ashes and cries of grief. In virtually every home
candles are burning for the dead."
Everything in this letter from the Women's Association has been cor-
roborated by the firsthand American and Vietnamese

The slaughter of the population of Songmy by U.S.

CLC CHICANO LIVE-IN
CLC's UMAS organization, United
Mexican American Students, and the
college pastor are jointly sponsoring
a Chlcano Live In, January 16-18.
The Live In will give 15 students the
opportunity to share in the lives of
Chlcano families for one weekend.
The project, initiated by Anthony Fer-
nendez, will provide first hand parti-
cipation in the living and human cir-
cumstances of a minority group family
in this country. The Mexican-American
population of Ventura County is in
excess of 30 per cent.
Pastor Swanson said, "The Live In
is designed primarily for students
who are in the areas of education,
business, Latin American studies, and
pre-seminarlans. Our desire is to offer
a realistic awareness of a minority
group's experience than is available
through second hand sources. This
kind of understanding is essential to
anyone working in a direct relation-
ship with Chlcano persons. Precon-
ceived notions can only be illusory
unless they are challenged by what
exists in fact."
The families, who will be opening
their homes to the students, are being
recruited by Fernendez. One student
will be placed in each home. He, or
she will be spending the weekend doing
what the family does. If a male, the
student will likely spend Saturday pick-
ing with the man of the house. If a
female, the student will share the
household work with the mother. The
rest of the time will be spent social-
izing with the family according to
their custom.
Tne participants will leave cam.
pus on the afternoon of the 16th and
return late Sunday afternoon.

ARRIVES
Woman was created from the rib of man.
She was not made from his head
to top him,
Nor out of his feet to be
tramped upon;
But out of his side to be
equal to him;
Under his arm , to be protected;
And near his heart, to be
loved.
From the Chicono Press Assn.
Chapel, on Monday, January 12, wtll
provide an opportunity for 4 Chicano
students to dialog on their role and
needs at CLC. Arrangements for this
chapel have been made through the
United Mexican American Students
chapter at CLC. Louis Sanchez is
President of the local organization.
This chapel is intended to provide
a focus on one of the minority groups
represented on our campus. It grows
out of the awareness that there re-
mains a persistent ignorance about
the Chicano and his presence.
Stalking The Wild
Liturgy In Ethiopia
The Music Club is presenting Dr. Ar.hur
A. Moorefield as its guest speaker on January
14. His talk will be about his year's adventures
in Ethiopia. Dr. Moorefield took a leave of
absence fjpm his duties at CLC to study and
record the liturgical music of the Ethiopian
Orthodox (Coptic) Church. He received grants
from the American Philosophical Society, the
African Studies Program of the Social Science
Research Council, and the Lutheran Church
in America.
Dr. Moorefield and his family left to live in
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on August 13, 1968.
They had their own house in the compound of
the Good Shepherd School, where Dr. Moore-
field was Head of the Music Department. There
were approximately 300 students in attendance
with over a third of them taking private music
lessons. Dr. Moorefield had several choirs
and an orchestra with which he staged "Amahl
and the Night Visitors," and also scenes from
"South Pacific," "Music Man," and "My
Fair Lady."
Besides attending to his duties at the Good
Shepherd School, Dr. Moorefield was also
working on his research of the music of the
Coptc Church. He spent the first few months
visiting the various churches in Addis Ababa.
He was able to establish a good rapoire with
the priests and debteras (cantors) at Beit Bahrta
Mariam (The House of the Entrance of Mary).
He was allowed to record their Sunday Mass
and also their matins and vesper services.
After three months, Dr. Moorefield travelled
to the back country on several expeditions to
make comparisons of the traditions of the city
church and its western influences with the
churches not yet touched by the West. On one
expedition Dr. Moorefield visited some of the
newly discovered rock churches in Tigre Prov.
ince. Many of these churches have been in
continuous use since the Fifth Century.
Dr. Moorefield is now back at CLC as
Associate Professor in Music. He is working
on plans for publications of books and record-
ings from his experiences in Ethiopia. He will
be telling of some of his adventures through
slides and recordings on January 14 at 7:00
p.m. in K-l. The topic will be "Stalking the
Wild Liturgy in Ethiopia." (Suggested for ma-
ture audiences).

US DARE TO READ,
THINK,
SPEAK
A letter to our readers:
A new publication will make its debut on this campus
in January, 1970. It will not merely be an extension of
the old ECHO, but rather a different concept in campus
newspapers. The ECHO has reverberated its last; neither
its goals nor its appeal were broad enough for it to succeed.
We will have a new publication, brisk, challenging, and
open to its own mistakes. Its emphasis will be on ideas
and interpretation: we live in a college community, where
the accent is on ideas, and we feel very strongly that the
purpose of a college newspaper is much more than just
to be a bulletin board. It should reflect views, should
emphasize opinion, encourage analysis and experimenta-
tion. We do not intend to slight objective coverage of the
news on this campus, rather we shall attempt to see the
why behind the "what."
A major facelifting operation is in store for the news-
paper. There will be a new layout reflecting modern
trends in college newspapers, one which will be more open
and conducive to innovation. It will not be as formal and
conventional as the present layout.
As the staff gains its own identity the formulation of
editorial policy shall be decided by the staff in its en-
tirety, functioning as a model democratic unit, putting forth
their own proposals — with the understanding that we
AND WRITE
shall try to advocate the best possible proposals for the
college and larger community.
Our presentation of opinion and ideas will not be limited
to students: we shall invite faculty, non-students, and
former students to write for us. We shall attempt to have
guest columns by personalities in government, entertain-
ment, literature and the arts.
It has been said that there are three things which are
real: God, human folly, and laughter. Since the first two
are beyond our comprehension we must do what we can
with the third. There will be space in this publication for
laughter: we intend to introduce a little more irrever-
ence to a world that takes itself altogether too seriously.
We're going to poke fun at some of the more staid insti-
tutions on this campus, human and otherwise. A little
cold water in the face of a museumpiece can be remark-
ably rejuvenating, and humanizing, too. There will be space
for reflection and philosophizing; poets will have a place
on our staff.
None of this we can do alone, so we invite students and
faculty with imagination and daring to join our rebellion
against dullness and mediocrity. Bring your own weapon:
enthusiasm first, skill, curiosity, and a willingness to
make excellence your standard. The date in January,
1970, CLC»s Second Decade. We guarantee you some-
thing out of the ordinary.

TREE (a)
Rita Ramlall, a pretty petite
CLC fifth year student, was born
and raised in Guyana. Her grand-
parents originally came from
India; her father was an account,
ant for a well known sugar com-
pany.
Rita attended a secondary mod-
ern school, which included both
primary and high school, run
by the Presbyterian church. In.
tent on becoming a teacher, she
began a four year student intern.
ship teaching program which In-
volved student teaching on the
primary level. After successfully
completing the program, Rita
decided against making elemen-
tary teaching her career, and
worked instead for one year in
the civil service of Guyana in
the Health Department Medical
Laboratory.
In the fall of 1965, Rita arri-
ved in the United States to attend
CLC. She spent several weeks
in Glendale before coming on
campus, so acquainted herself
a little with the area before
school began. She had applied to
a number of schools, but the
fact that CLC was a small, pri-
vate, religious school greatly
appealed to the Hindu thinking of
All

Wrong!
Not Bank of America. It's
the world's largest bank with the
world's biggest heart. Seriously!
So, if your bank has been
hassling you lately, drop in.
We've got something that could
interest you.
Take checking accounts.
We have four of them, so
you have a choice. Tenplan* , for
instance, lets you write checks
for only 150 apiece. Statements
come just once every 3 months.
Another good thing is the
way we handle your checking
account when you leave school
for summer vacation.
You can have a zero
balance and you won't have a
penny's maintenance charge.
And, you won't have to open a
new account come fall. Or,
because Bank of America has
more branches than any bank in
California, there's probably one
in your home town. You'll be
able to transfer the balance in
your school branch to your
home branch and back again,
without a murmur.
And, as a part of the scene,
you'll be able to get the checks
that make the scene.
Dig? So does Bank of

her parents. CLC had also been
highly recommended by mission,
aries in Guyana.
Rita originally was a biology-
science major and had planned
on entering a medical school until
last spring. After her father's
death, Rita changed her major
to Latin-American studies. Be-
cause she changed her majors
in her senior year, she is taking
a fifth year to complete her new
major. She would like to con.
tinue with graduate work, and
her vocational objective is to
either teach on the university
level or to work in government
service.
A great lover of music, espe-
cially popular music, Rita likes
dancing, reading novels, and
working on her stamp collection
when and if she finds any free
time. She works at the convales-
cent hospital nearby CLC.
Rita is enthusiastic about
CLC's growing international
community. She feels that the
interaction between foreign stu-
dents and native Americans is
very good. According to her,
nothing is greater than going
abroad and studying with the
people of other countries and
studying their communities.
The friendly and helpful atmos-
phere at CLC has greatly helped
Rita adjust to the American way
of life, and she is very grateful
to the many considerate people
she has met. Like many students
from foreign countries, at first
Rita was afraid of losing her
own culture and as a result was
fearful of becoming too involved
with a foreign way of life. How-
ever, upon realizing that only by
Interacting with other people and
by becoming involved could she
strengthen her own culture and
spread it among her friends,
she has enjoyed her many exper-
iences and personal contacts.

FROM: Lyle B. Gangsei, Dean of Students
Arline L. Heckerson, Dean of Women
RE: WOMEN'S HOURS, WINTER QUARTER 1970
At a meeting of the Ad Hoc Commission on Student Governance held
on December 11th, some pro tempore agreements were reached in regard
to the issue of women's hours. The essence of the agreements has been
transmitted to each student by a letter from the President which was
mailed out immediately following this meeting of the 11th. It seems
that a recapitulation is in order now as the second quarter opens.
1. The following schedule of hours is in effect in the women's residence
halls as students take up residence in preparation for the opening of
the winter quarter:
Seniors
Juniors
Sophomores
Freshmen
Sunday-Thursday
Self- deter mining
Self-determining
12:00 midnight
12:00 midnight
Friday-Saturday
Self-determining
Self -determining
2:00 a.m.
2:00 a.m.
Grace Period: A reasonable number (twenty) of late minutes per quarter
is granted to cover emergency situations.
Late Leaves: Extensions of one hour beyond closing on Friday and
Saturday nights are granted as follows upon pre-arrangement with
the Head Resident:
Sophomore Two each quarter
Freshmen One each quarter
Security Provision: In order to provide for the security of residents
and the well-being of the Residence Hall staff, the main doors will
be locked as follows:
Sunday-Thursday
12:00 midnight
Friday-Saturday
2:00 a.m.
Thereafter, security guards will admit returning women into their
Residence Hall at the following stipulated times:
12:30 a.m.
1:00 a.m.
1:30 a.m.
2:00 a.m.
2:30 a.m.
3:00 a.m.
4:00 a.m.
Residence Hall doors will be unlocked at 5:00 a.m.
It Is expected that Junior and senior women coming in late will
be considerate of the staff and their fellow students and maintain
quiet in the area of the Residence Halls.
2. The schedule outlined above has been referred by the Ad Hoc Commission
to the College Committee on Student Conduct for study and possible modi-
fication, and attention will be given to the matter by this group.
3. The success of this and any other new program depends upon the maturity
of the individuals involved and upon their willingness to express this
maturity corporately through Residence Hall government. The College
Administration is content to leave the matter there and will normally
Involve itself only at the point of continued aggravation where there is
no appropriate remedial response on the part of Residence Hall government.
This does not preclude professional counseling where the need for such
is indicated.

CAMPUS FENCE TO HURDLE
(five)
The return to studies and classes brought no unexpected or
trailing decisions on what was next. And next to many and most
students were to fence themselves into, their, many hours they
would spend studying. What was unexpected — the aid in which
the campus of CLC would help their students fence themselves
into studying.
What was unexpected?
HOURS.
There seems to be somewhat of a rumor or more correctly
put a thought about the reason of now present hours. The hours
present for freshmen and sophomore women, are because of poor
grades and a drop in grade levels. Particularly true of fresh-
men and soph, when the fence was not erect or hours were not
in effect last quarter. The now present condition of hours,
fence, erected for student study habits in which the administra-
tion or Olson declares students too immature to erect this for
themselves — CLC will aid.
The truth or reason for this now present fence; or the truth
or reason for these now present hours, may or may not lie in
this rumor. But what has become rumor, unexpected and trailing
— where the battle has ended and, or begun for the abolishment
of hours for CLC campus women.
Well here's the scope!
Some time last quarter the committee handling the decision
about hours unanimously voted that for this quarter hours
remain undetermined. Kay Strawder and Candy Maitland two of
the four students involved, the same number of faculty and
administration, and three to four members of the community
all voted in this direction.
In turn the decision about hours would be handled and then taken
up by the student conduct committee and likely others for more
concrete decisions. Yet we found evidence of the fence even
before we returned, for Olson had decided and recommended
the present hours effective for this quarter.
The truth or reason for this now present fence; the truth or
reason for these now present hours, has become rumor, unex-
pected and trailing — where the battle has ended and, or begun
for the abolishment of hours for CLC campus women. For if
the abolishment of hours has just begun, it lies only with the
freshmen and sophomore women if the battle is to end.
FLASH: IT WAS SAID TODAY THAT IF A LARGE ENOUGH
PROTEST OF HOURS WAS PRESENTED BY A LARGE ENOUGH
GROUP OF FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORE WOMEN, DEAN OF
GIRLS OR YOUNG WOMEN WOULD HAVE TO HANDLE IT,
POSSIBLY ONLY ONE GIRL ON STANDARDS WOULD BE IN
REJECTION TO THIS.
Women of CLC we commend you on efforts well done, that
may mean ended and or just may have begun the abolishment.
Personal compliments from the gentlemen — ladies to abolish
hours is your desire, then it is you whom must light the fires,
the torch I can only carry.
A conservative government Is
an organized hypocrisy.
--Disraeli '
At 4 a.m. on this particular Wednesday morning I am
filled with a quiet sorrow for what tlUs world is; for what
you and I have become In the roles we play; for men I
know who bustle by with a cheery greeting that becomes
the slandering knife when you turn your back from these
faces one hardly knows; for fellows who pick your brains
when the fruit is free, the fair-weather friends of little
hope and less love; for that Man who can live with his
crippled conscience, trapped on the one-way suburban
strand of a web of his own making, who is advantaged
and clasps his greed to his breast, a fleur de lis he cannot
let go; for friend Lyle, whose toluene tears refuse to
freeze when faced with subzero facts; for the habitual
games of knowledgable people with stilted souls, these
stuffed sages peering down from precarious pedestals
they have wrought from their fleeting facts; for men and
women playing so hard at being men and women, of sexy/
painted / scented selves, never really free to possess bare
body or naked soul; for dishonest men, busy shortchange
ing themselves at my expense; for those of us secretly
seeking a change of place, a substitute body, a surer
century; for those who think that there must be something
that can make a difference; for you and for me, a bit of
quiet sorrow.
Sq here we are: you and I, each with our respective
Jobs to do. Yet somehow we can make a different world, a
newer and better one, if we can but cut through the con-
fusion, the illusion, the viciousness and crud that form the
gulf between our separate persons. Ultimately, that is
what will be behind this paper: elimination of the gulf.
It will start with us, the people who work on the paper,
and If it works, well, one day we should be alive to see
it spread.
There is no editorial comment on the content of this
issue. There need be none, and at this time any such com-
ment would be unfair to our staff and Inconsistent with
what we are trying to accomplish. Next week we shall
attempt to clarify what the state of the newspaper Is and
just what our goals are going to be. In the meantime, we will
need a new title for the paper (weekly). If you have an
idea, submit it with the reader opinion poll below.
The nature of this column is not to negate what trans-
pires in the milieu of CLC but to expose in hones that
people, responsible people, will take constructive action
to up grade conditions surrounding CLC, its students,
faculty, and administrators.
It has been rumored that certain people feel Chapel is
a relevant facet to our campus. If relevancy can be equat-
ed in terms of membership, then Chapel certainly has missed
the priorities of things to do for most the student body.
So what the hell; we have a good pastor in Gerald
Swanson and if tiie old traditionalists would let him have
his way, I believe he could revamp the whole concept of
Chapel and make it a more meaningful happening. Be-
sides that, wouldn't it be a good idea for CLC to have its own
Lutheran Congregation? ALC, LCA, AND Missouri Synod
all Included on a non«synodical congregation?
Well, whatever!
Hope you women enjoy your tokenism on hours. At
least the Jr. & Sr. women are thought of as responsible.
I wonder though, how come the guards are taking down
names of upper class women who come In after 12
p.m. I notice too, that only certain times are allowed
for entrance Into the women's dorms? Someday, maybe
you freshmen and sophomores will grow up and be thought
of by Administrators and the Board of Regents as re-
sponsible. Until then we must protect your virginity by
bringing you in at 12 on weekdays and 2 a.m. on week-
ends. As we all know, things only happen after those
hours.
There has been rumors that we need to recruit more
Lutheran students because our average is approaching

To the Editor:
I hope this letter finds all of
you healthy and of good spirit.
At the moment I'm healthy, but
not of good spirit.
I'm sure you have by now heard
of the lottery system for the draft
which our country has decided
to use in dealing with its young
men. You know, it was really
interesting at first to watch the
reactions of the men in my dorm
as they heard the numbers read
off.
It was at first interesting and
then sickening as I began to see
what happened. As the numbers
were being read off, human be-
ings began to change their shape
and soon took on a new form, a
number.
Humans Become Numbers
Human beings no longer
existed, but only numbers. The
common remark was and still
is, "What's your number?" All
of a sudden, people, real live
breathing people, became no
more than a number.
How did this take place? This
death of man's identity? Was
it through a conquering enemy
at gun point? A communist gov-
ernment, where supposedly
people exist only by the dictates
of the state? NO!!
The government of the United
States of America, which stands
for and guarantees EVERY in-
dividual LIFE, LIBERTY AND
THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS,
has chosen a numbered blue
capsule out of a sterile glass
Jar which will dictate the future
life of every young man in Amer-
ica.
It tells him what the state Is
going to "allow" him to do with
the next years of his life. It
has said, "We, the state, have
chosen what is best, and you
must conform. You are now a
number, and as a number we know
what is to be done with you.
"Oh yes. let us, sing unto the
most holy and almlght amerlcan
god and say, "My country 'tis
of thee. Sweet land of liberty.
Of thee I sing: Land where my
fathers died, land of the pllT
grims' pride, From every moun-
tainside LET FREEDOM RING!
Amen."
Freedom 'Is Decided'
Oh yes, we do have freedom,
don't we! The freedom of the
draft board to decide FOR me
and my brothers what should be
done with the rest of our lives.
I, especially, should be thank-
ful and bow down and give al-
legiance because my government
has given me a "special num-
ber" called 4-D.
You see, our divinely or-
dained rulers have said, "Let
there be separation of church
and state. And it was so. And
they said, It is good, and to in-
sure its continual goodness, Let
us give ministers and future
ministers a special number."
This guarantees that I am dif-
ferent and should be spared in
any involvement of my coun-
try's just and merciful military
commitments to the oppressed
peoples of the world.
My rulers have decided that
I can best serve the "national
Interest" by remaining home with
my special number and by tell-
ing the present and future
members of my "little flock"
all about how good and gracious
my rulers are and of the won-
derful things they give people,
like "special numbers," which
give us "freedom."
Oh yes, dear people, let us
fall down on our knees and give
thanks to the amerlcan god whom
my rulers tell me gives me this
freedom, this liberty, this choice.
Thanks be to the amerlcan god,'
Hallelujah, Amen.

just a little over 50 per cent. Question: Do you want CLC
to be a good Lutheran, liberal arts College or a good
Lutheran Liberal arts College?
Why did our basketball team spend so much money
to go to Alaska? Why also are a lot of our good basket-
ball players not on the team this year?
I noticed that the number of honors students from High
School nas gone down! In 1966 we had 34 and 67 had 19,
and 68 had 18, and 21 in 69. Are we able to compete
in drawing the top academic talent from other schools?
One wonders why CLC students seem to be content
with open dorms on two nights a week. Is It not true
that for an education to be truly meaningful that the stu-
dent needs to live in a mature environment? The atmos-
phere in which a student lives may be as important as
the class room. Education is not only mental, but also
spiritual, emotional, and social. The student needs the
freedom of self -determining hours and open dorms twenty-
four hours a day, in order to have a relavant environ-
ment enhancing his education and giving him more lati-
tude on the making of existential choices forever affect-
ing his life.
In termination of this week's maiden article, let it be
known that Luke Jonas sees the student as the number
one asset of this College-the buildings, the administration,
the faculty are here to serve the educational and social
needs (since this is a residental College) of the students.
Old Luke would like to know when this ideal will be ful-
filled, and when the value of the person will be transen-
dent over the institution.

"They came for the Panthers and I said nothing because
I was not a Panther.
They came for the black man, and I said nothing
because I was not black.
Then they came for the students, and I said nothing
because I was not a student.
Then they came for the liberals and I said nothing
because I was not a liberal.
And when they came for me, I looked around and
said nothing, because I was alone."

witnesses recently quoted in the U.S. press.
According to these reports, the U.S. unit which carried out the
atrocities at Songmy was Company "C", 1st Battalion, 20th
Infantry, 11th Brigade of the Americal Division. Company "C"
was commanded by Capt. Earnest L. Medina, 33, who apparently
encouraged the massacre. Peter Braestrup wrote in the Nov. 23
Washington Post: "Versions of Medina's exact words vary but he
promised the men a fight the next day. He had orders to clean-
destroy-the Vietcong hamlets in Pinkvi'le," as the U.S. troops
referred to Songmy.
Medina's orders and other statements in Braestrup's account
clearly show that responsibility for the massacre is shared by higher
level commanders as well as the men in the field. Braestrup notes
that Songmy was in a long stretch of coastal Quang Nam, Quang
Tin and Quang Ngai provinces that Gen. Creighton Abrams cha-
racterized earlier this year as "hard core" pockets of enemy
strength. And why not? As Lt. Col. David Gavin, U.S. "district
advisor" in Quang Ngai province said, Songmy was in an area
that "had been Communist territory since the 1940s." In other
words Songmy had been liberated since the first Resistance War
against French colonialism. That was its crime.
Eyewitness ordered to keep quiet
Seymour M. Hersh, writing in the Nov. 20 San Francisco
Chronicle, has reported the story of Sgt. Michael A. Bernhardt,
now at Fort Dix, N.J. who was a member of Company "A" in
Songmy on March 16 last year. Bernhardt served in the platoon
commanded by 1st Lt. William L. Calley Jr., who, along with Sgt.
David Mitchell, has now been charged by the U.S. Army with the
murder of 1 09 Vietnamese civilians at Songmy. Bernhardt wanted
to report his story right after the incident, but Army authorities,
including Capt. Medina and unnamed other officers, ordered
Bernhardt to keep quiet, alleg:ng an investigation was in progress.
An officer who did not keep quiet did not live long. Bernhardt
and another witness, according to Hersh, said that "a helicopter
pilot from an aviation support unit landed in the midst of the
incident and attempted to quell it. The officer warned that he
would report the shootings." The next day the pilot was "killed
in action." Army authorities finally questioned Bernhardt two
months ago.
'"The whole thing [at Songmy) was so deliberate. It was
point-blank murder,'" said Bernhardt whose account as reported
by Hersh follows in part:
'"They ICalley's men] were doing a whole lot of shooting up
but none of it was incoming— I'd been around enough to tell that.
1 figured we were advancing on the village with fire power.
"'I walked up and saw these men doing strange things. They
were doing it three, ways. One. They were setting fire to the
hootches [dwellings] and hufs and waiting for people to come
out and shooting them up. Two: They were going into the
hootches and shooting them up. Three: They were gathering
people in groups and shooting them.
"'As I walked in you could see piles of people all through the
village ... all over. They were gathered up into large groups.
'"I saw them shoot a M-79 (grenade launcher] into a group
who were still alive. But it [the shooting] was mostly done with a
machine gun. They were shooting women and children just like
anybody else.
'"We met no resistance and I only saw three captured wea-
pons. We had no casualties. It was just like any other Vietnamese
village-old papa-sans, women and kids. As a matter of fact, 1
don't remember seeing one military-age male in the entire place,
dead or alive. The only prisoner I saw was a^bout 50.'"
Bernhardt himself was in a small minority of the unit who
refused to participate in the massacre. He was "ostracized" by the
other men afterwards because of his attitude. He is now an
assistant platoon leader at a Ft. Dix basic training company.
Another witness to the Songmy massacre was Michael Terry,
22, formerly in Medina's company and now a sophomore at
Brigham Young university in Utah. As reported by Hersh, Terry
stated:
'"They [the U.S. troops] just marched through shooting
everybody .... They just started pulling people out and shooting
them."*
Do Hoai, a Vietnamese ol about 40 and one of the few
survivors of Songmy told essentially the same story of the events
as the American Witnesses. As reported by Henry Kamm in the
Nov. 17 N.Y. Times, Hoai stated that the entrance of U.S. troops
was preceded by an artillery barrage of about an hour's duration.
"Then American soldiers entered the village, meeting no opposi-
tion." wrote Kamm. "They ordered all the inhabitants out of
their homes.
"Although the area had been largely under Vietcong control,
the villagers had engaged m no hostile action against the Ameri-
cans and bore no arms.
€>N*MY
"The Americans forced the villagers to gather in one place in
each of the three clusters of houses that formed part of the village
of Songmy ....
"The three death sites were about 200 yards apart.
"When the houses had been cleared, the troops dynamited
those made of brick and set fire to the wooden structures ....
"Then the Vietnamese were gunned down where they stood.
About 20 soldiers performed the executions at each of three
places
Nguyen Van Thieu's Saigon regime has denied that any massa-
cre occurred. The absurdity of such a statement, when the facts
are now known to all, reveals how far out of touch with reality
the Saigon leaders are.
Prior to the Saigon denial, Kamm in the same N.Y. Times
article wrote: "The Saigon provincial Governor, Col. Ton That
Khien, said today [Nov. 16] that the killings had occurred, but
he added that the number of dead was perhaps exaggerated.
"A responsible Vietnamese official close to the case," con-
tinued Kamm, "said that those slain probably numbered between
450 and 500."
Col. Khien also said, according to Kamm, that "he admired the
pacification work done by the Americal division and considered
the killings [at Songmy] an unfortunate exception."
But the fact is that Songmy is not an exception.
At the Nov. 20 press conference here, PRG spokesman Duong
Dinh Thao, also reported on a massacre at Balangan village, a few
miles from the. provincial capital of Quang Ngai where more than
1200 women, children and old men were drowned during the
"accelerated pacification" drive into the Balangan area last Janu-
ary.
In the U.S. operation which began Jan. 13, 1969, over 1 1,000
inhabitants, many of them attached neck-to-neck by ropes, were
herded into a concentration camp and their village was destroyed.
The prisoners included over 3200 women, 6700 children and
more than a thousand older men. They were detained under
unimaginable conditions, virtually starving and without medical
attention.
The inmates of the camp began struggling for the improvement
of their wretched conditions and in early March, on three separ-
ate occasions, groups of about 400 each were loaded aboard
barges and towed out to sea by naval vessels which speeded up
and made sharp turns, causing the barges to capsize, drowning
those aboard. There was only a single survivor to relate what
happened. For many days afterwards, bodies were washed ashore.
The camp officials explained to the relatives of the victims that
they were "drowned in a storm while being transferred to Cam-
ranh."
New details on chemical warfare
The War Crimes Commission of the PRG has recently released
details on the stepped up use of chemical warfare by the U.S.,
since Nixon took office.
In an operation in Tayninh province July 18-20, five tons of
chemicals were sprayed. More than a thousand persons were
poisoned, among whom were 30 children who died. According to
still incomplete statistics, during Nixon's first 10 months in the
White House, 285,000 people were affected by poison chemicals.
Among these, some 500, mainly children and old people died.
A staggering total of 2,300,000 acres of ricefields and orchards
have been destroyed this year. (The U.S. has even destroyed
40,000 acres of rubber plantations in Cambodia, for which Chief
of State Norodom Sihanouk is demanding compensation.)
According to the report of the War Crimes Commission, be-
sides destroying crops, the U.S. poisons kill the poultry and dairy
cattle and the fish in streams and lakes. Humans who receive a
sufficient dose either die or lose consciousness, while a smaller
dose causes vomiting, fever, headaches and skin eruptions. Preg-
nant women affected by the "crop poison" suffer miscarriages
and it causes mothers' milk to be unfit for nursing their children.
News Item Americans are more disturbed about
the exposure of Songmy in the press
than they are bout the tragady itself.
Inclusion of "Songmy" in this issue does not in
any way imply that this represents the viewpoint
of the staff. It does imply that the U.S. Mil-
itary press has lied to the people of the United
States. What do you think? Are these the facts
or are you a "typical" American who is more shocked
about the news coverage of Songmy than about the
fact of Songmy?

At 8:15 on Monday, January 12, 1970, a happening
took place In the CLC gym, that was later described
by one of the cast as "madness, beautiful madness."
It was the Experimental Wing giving a totally Impro-
vised performance as part of the Concert and Lecture
series.
It actually started at 8:18 when Gerald Rea gave a
preview of what was to come In future weeks In the
Concert and Lecture series. He then Introduced the
Experimental Wing and it started to happen.
The nine members came out and started by asking
for the name of something canned, then a magazine,
something that comes and goes, an Ice cream flavor,
and a type of soup. With each suggestion, they then
did a -ehort skit. When Playboy was suggested for the
magazine, all the skit consisted of was the holding
out of a centerfold (In pantomime of course) but that
was enough. Then they came out In groups of three
and asked for positions. The first group got running,
Jumping and prone. The two girls fought over the one
guy who got the. prone position. It was settled by the
girls by dividing the week between them and giving him
Sunday off. When asked what he was going to do on his
day off he said, "Go to church." The other two groups
did skits also.
Then the whole group came out again and asked for
a slogan. They got "love It or leave it." They started
with stills (each member would get in a position and
be motionless). They looked like 3-D photos. They also
did skits on It.
They then did a musical piece. Eight members came
out and asked for a sound of the night, a disaster, a
toothpaste, an emotion, a Bible character, etc., and
one member directed it using the sounds they made.
It closed the first 45 minute half.
The second half was a single skit called a Herald.
The suggestion "how can I be free" was agreed on af-
ter women's hours was rejected as too confining. Wo-
man's hours was in the skit though and the entire issue
was lampooned. It came to an end with the ROD of
FREEDOM.
The Experimental Wing is a result of The Commit-
tee Workshop in San Francisco and as been perform-
ing one and half years. This is not the group that per-
formed on the Smothers Brothers Show, and this is the
reason for the name change. As Cindy Kamler, the
group's director, explained It, "we want to avoid people
coming to see The Committee and seeing us. . .we do
something a little different. We just try to clarify
it's a different group." The Experimental Wing does
perform at The Committee Workshop in San Francisco
every Monday, but other than that "there is no connec-
tion other than the historical one."
The Experimental Wing has twenty actors In all. The
nine members that were here were Hal Taylor, Susan
Howard, Diane Horowitz, Judy Fisher, George Mathews,
Terry Day, Tom Brunelle, George Merkle, and Joe Lerer.
The entire group varies from 21 to 40 and from minister
to college kids to carnival people. A real cross section.
Asked why they joined the group, their answers were
all different but the same. "I found Improvisation, the
concept, so exciting I Just abandoned everything and got
Into It." I really dig theater. . .(and) this improv tech-
nique is a really valid form. . .All you need Is coopera-
tlon and trust." "I needed a Job. (The pay's not much
but) It's good for my head (and) the point of anything
Is to keep grooving." "Looking for something to get
with that was groovy."
Asking what their thing was, I again received similar
answers. "We're not out to preach. . .burn bridges. . .
change anyone to our way of thinking." "The whole
point of our whole thing, just to have a good time. . .
We vary so much there Is no way in the world we
could all agree on a thought. We can't even agree on
where to go to eat. . .But like we can get on stage and
cooperate like hell." "To show the audience fun."
I asked one why they made fun of the ossueof wo-
men's hours. "Well in a sense it Is a funny Issue.
This is one of the first college campuses we've seen
In a while that still has very strict rules. And you'll
see In the next couple years they all will change."
One of them also commented on the FREEDOM ROD
In the Herald. "The FREEDOM ROD is probably what
motivates us all. Our sexjial energy is probably what
makes or breaks society. Its what hangs up the Board
of Regents, Reagan, and his bunch. The symbolism In
the Golden Rod is the power of all."
Commenting on drugs one of them said: "We found
out we don't need it. . J doubt it would help on stage
• • Jt Interferes with your mind processes. . .It tends
to exclude rather than Include (because) there's no
way someone not on that drug could be on that trip with
you."
Of the group, fifteen of the actors are on a salary of
twenty dollars a week and the group Is going broke. They
get between $150 and $1500 for a show depending on
where and who for. For the show here they got about
halfway between the two figures. They love to work
and aren't "sticklers for money." Just contact them
at Box 27247 San Francisco.
What else can be said about them except they're great
as everyone I've talked to agrees.

The Experimental College, as most every-
one knows (or should know) starts January
12. And one of the most productive and in-
terestlng courses could well be the one con-
ducted by Mr. John Solem of the Art De-
partment.
The Info flyer on the Experimental College
describes Art as a course in which "basic
art will be focused upon. . .nearly everyone,"
It says, "has some artistic talent, and this
course will enable one to find and develop
this talent."
More Information, however, was forthcom-
ing from Mr. John Solem himself. "This will
be a studio course," he explained last Thurs-
day. "No theory or art history or anything
like that." The course, he said, will be a
doing one, a course In which the student will
come In with whatever talent he or she has
and "do his thing."
Although the word "Art" covers just about
everything, Solem sees the course as con-
centrating mainly on painting and related
disciplines. "I'll be there to help or counsel
anyone who needs it," he said.
The objectives of the Art course are simply
stated: to give any interested person In the
community an opportunity to do his own thing
In paint, pastel, or collage.
Solem sees two types of people participating
In Art E.C. The first type, he said, will be
"the students on campus with little or no
previous experience In art classes" who
are simply Interested In expressing them sel-
ves through the art media employed in the
course. "The student will come In, "exclaim-
ed Solem, "with his own particular Dacx-
ground and technique" and then go to It.
The second type Solem expects will be
the people from the community at large. Does
he expect a large response from this area?
"If you ask me there will be a large response
(from the community) — I'd say, probably
yes
>>
In discussing the course the conversation
Inevitably turned to the general philosophy
of the Experimental College. Solem seemed
to be more than sympathetic to the concept
of the E.C., especially as It applied to his
Art course. However, when the Idea was
broached that perhaps the E.C. is (or should
be) filling gaps In the existing CLC curricu-
lum, Solem was emphatic In his disagree,
ment. "We're all aware that there are gaps,
and problems with funding," he said. But he
did not feel that Art E.C. was either meant
to or would fill any "gap" In the Art Depart-
ment's curriculum. Moreover, he stated that
"I won't conduct this class any differently
from my regular studio classes," wnicii ob.
vlously meant that he'll put as much of him-
self Into Art E.C. as he does Into "Art CLC."
And if the students who show up on Monday
nights at 7:30 put their all Into it, Art E.C.
could have not only Interesting, but perhaps
even spectacular results.

Decisions! Decisions!
One of them should be a buying decision
As a college student, you learn to make
decisions. One of the most important
should concern life insurance . . . from
Aid Association for Lutherans. AAL is
a fraternalife insurance society for
Lutherans . . . and that's a big ad-
vantage to the Lutheran student.
When it comes to life insurance,
Lutheran college students get a bar-
gain. That's because of age and good
health, and because AAL's rates are
low to begin with.
Another reason . . . Lutheran stu-
dents can have certain guaranteed
purchase options that assure them of
being able to buy additional insur-
ance later on regardless of health.
AAL representatives (who are Luth-
eran) serve all 50 states and five prov-
inces of Canada . . . we're the largest
fraternal life insurance society in
America.
Take time to talk to an AAL repre-
sentative soon. Let him show you the
advantages of starting a life insurance
plan at your present age. And have him
show you how dollars saved witty AAL

1) the nonnltrogenous and 2) the nitrogenous.
Marijuana is placed into the first grouping,
along the nutmeg, because the euphoric
activity associated with it and produced by
its use is due to the "nonnltrogenous prin.
clples" of its chemistry (2).
Marijuana is produced from the plant
Cannabis sativa which is a "tall, annual
weed, sometimes reaching a height of 15
feet (2)." The plant will grow in almost any
type of soil and under widely variable cli-
matic conditions. It is important to note that
the plant is dioecious, i.e. there are both
male and female varieties. Differentiation of
the sexes of the plant is important in that,
the chemical compounds responsible for the
euphoric effects of marijuana are contained
in the resins primarily of the female plant.
In identifying the sex of the plant, the sta-
minate (male) plant flowers "are axillary
and borne in the panicles, wheras the axil-
lary pistillate (female) flowers are long cat.
kins (2)." The male plant is generally taller
than the female plant, and the plants them-
selves maybe identified prlnciply by the struc-
tural pattern of the leaves. The leaves are
generally "large and palmately compound,
each having five to seven linear-lanceolate
leaflets, with serrate leaf margins (2)."
The euphoric principles are concentrated
in the resin which the female plant produces
as It ripens, however, the leaves, seeds and
stems are also used as euphoric agents and
it is possible that active ingredients may,
with further research, be attributed to the
stamlnate plants. The drug may be generally
found in three grades of preparation.
The first is bhang (an Indian term) which
is the least potent and consequently the
cheapest variety. It is this type of cannabis
that is most commonly used in the United
States. Bhang is produced from the "tops
of uncultivated plants and has a low resin
content (1)." The cuttings are prepared by
making a decoction In water or milk and this
mixture is "either drunk or dried and smok-
ed (2)."
Ganja is the second grade of cannabis
and is derived from the flowering tops of
selectively cultivated plants and contains
a greater degree of resin content. Ganja Is
prepared for use In the same manner as
bhang and may be either drunk, smoked
or Incorporated into sweetmeats and eaten.
The most potent and most expensive var-
lety of cannabis Is known as charas to the
Indians and in the Western cultures as hash-
ish, or in the vernacular as "hash." This
type of preparation involves the scraping
and concentration of the resin itself from
the upper regions of the mature female
plant. Hashish is the most potent variety
of the cannabis derivatives and is "5 to 8
times stronger in effect that the most po-
tent marijuana regularly available in the
U.S. (1).»
The derivatives of cannabis are taken in
a number of fashions. In this country they
are generally inhaled in the form of a cig-
arette or through a pipe, however, in other
areas of the world they may be ingested "in
the form of a drink or in foods (1)."
Since the use of the cannabis derived drugs
has, within the preceding decade, crept into
every aspect of Western culture, an increas-
ed amount of research has been attempted to
ascertain the active euphoric producing mech-
anlsms of the herb.
cannabis usage:
". . .intoxication. . .is initiated by a
period of anxiety within 10 to 30 minutes
. . .in which the user sometimes develops
fears of death and anxieties of vague
nature associated with restlessness and
hyperactivity. . .he begins to feel more
calm. . .soon develops definite euphoria
. . .talkative. . .elated, exhilarated. . .
feeling of lightness of the limbs and
body. .laughs uncontrollably. . .has
the impression his conversation is witty
and brillant. . .may begin to see visual
hallucinations. . .flashes of light or amor-
phous forms of vivid color which evolve
and develop into geometric figures,
shapes, human faces. . .after a. . .time
. . .becomes drowsy, falls into dream-
less sleep and awakens with no physio-
logic after-effects and what a clear
memory of what had happened. . .(1)"
Most available information generally agrees
with these observations. The effects of smok-
ing marijuana may last from two to four hours
and Ingestion may produce a longer period of
intoxication of from five to twelve hours (1).
It is often stated that during intoxication
the senses are heightened and become more
sensitive to outside stimuli, especially; light,
colors and music. Verification of this is dif-
ficult to document, but the frequency with
which this phenomenon is reported would
seem to indicate some validity to its occur-
rence. Several effects of marijuana use, how-
ever, are well documented.
The first of these effects is the lost of time
comprehension. In a recent research project
conducted by Harvard and Boston Universi-
ties, a series of time perception test were
made on a pair of study groups. The groups
consisted of both individuals experienced and
non-experienced in the use of marijuana. The
test concluded that subjects in both groups,
who had previous to smoking been able to
judge with fair accuracy a five minute time
span, often doubled their normal estimates
of time while under the influence of the drug
(5).
A second documented effect reported by
this group was a moderate increase in heart
rate. They reported that in novice users the
average registered increase inheart rate was
16 beats per minute, to which they add that,
during orgasm the increase in heart beats
per minute is many times this great, they
did however fall to mention whether or not
these were also novice orgasms. The group
also reported that the use of marijuana does
cause the blood vessels of the white portion
of the eyes to become dilated and reddened,
the research team did not, however, find any
Instances of pupil dilation, which seems to
contradict a great deal of popular opinion,
especially where certain law enforcement
agencies are concerned (1,2, & 5).
A tremendous amount of material has been
published regarding the effects of marijuana
upon the "psychomotor functions and certain
sensory abilities (1)." The LaGuardia Report
found that even large doses of marijuana did
not affect many performance tests or the
ability to quickly respond to simple stimuli.
It did find that use of the drug caused an
unsteadiness of the hand and body and ef-
fected the reaction time required to answer
a complex stimuli. The Report also found that
during the mature stages of the experience
there was a decline in the ability of indlvi-
eaders

NEWS RELEASE
200 PARK AVE. NEW YORK, N.Y. 10017
Marijuana may not be a one-way ticket to hell as some opponents claim, but
it's no entree to psychedelic paradixe either.
Long-range studies now going on may tell us some day just how marijuana really
affects the body and mind. Until then, three top medical authorities on drugs have
summarized their views, which can be found in an article in the January Reader's Digest.
The three doctors — Dana L. Farnsworth of Harvard, Anthony F. Philip of
Columbia and famed chest surgeon Alton Ochsner of New Orleans ~ agree that while the
dangers may be somewhat overstated, there are risks in smoking marijuana and it is a
rare "pot-head" who can escape without harm.
Moreover Dr. Ochsner, who was one of the first doctors to note the correlation b
between cigarette smoking and lung cancer, raises the possibility of similar risks among
marijuana smokers. He sees disturbing parallels between today's marijuana craze and
the cigarette promotions a few decades ago.
"At present, no one knows whether smoking pot can cause cancer," he says.
"What is certain is that the burning of many types of leaves produces carcinogens.
Marijuana simply has not been in common use in the United States long enough to produce
the deaths from which statistics are calculated."
Dr Farnsworth, who serves as chairman of the American Medical Association s
Council on Mental Health, distinguishes between "casual" pot smokers - those who try it
out of curiosity' and who constitute more than half of all users - and "problem smokers
who are preoccupied with the drug to the point of dependency.
Casual smokers may not suffer any real harm, he says. But many others do suffer
suffer interference with work and studies, disorientation, confusion or depression.
Ironically, those most vulnerable to such reactions are people with unstable personalities
or emotional difficulties — who are most likely to try the drug in the first
place!
And what of the rewards? Disappointing at best, says Dr. Farnsworth. There
is no present evidence that, except for a few isolated individuals, pot-smoking can
increase self-realization or creativity. On the contrary, he says, "With pot, everything
draws to a halt. "
One other danger noted by Dr. Farnsworth is the risk that marijuana can lead to
stronger drugs. While not necessarily so, it has happened.
Dr. Philip, who heads the Columbia College Counseling Service, also
distinguishes "recreational" pot smokers from those who are deeply involved. The
latter, he says, "typically have an intolerable, chronic, low-grade depression and a
resentful feeling that somehow they have been cheated by life." Their motivation
for using drugs is not to gain pleasure, but merely to avoid pain.
Dr. Philip believes that family conflict plays a large role in launching
youngsters on the drug path. "I haven't seen any kids getting into drugs who have
not had family problems . " he says .
It all adds up to a case against marijuana, although many doctors agree
that present legal penalties for use of the drug are far too harsh. To such opponents
of stiff punisment, a social approach seems to make more sense than a legal one.
Dr. Farnsworth puts it this way: The way to solve the drug problem is "by
helping the young improve their relations with their parents and with society."
He might have added, "and vice-versa."
— Readers Digest News Release
"It is difficult to avoid the conclusion
that the increasing use of marijuana is
in part related to the fearful threats of
overpopulation, racial conflict, and nuclear
war. Conversely, the same threats, may
indirectly be contributing to the emotional
campaign against this drug. . .marijuana
is a natural target as a scapegoat."
Lester Grinspoon, associate clinical
professor of psychiatry Harvard
Medical School
Tt must be stated at the outset of this
article that I am, by virtue of being its
author and by virtue of attempting to pre-
sent the following data unbiasedly, neither
condoning nor passing judgment as to the
legality of the use of marijuana. It is, how-
ever, my opinion that a truthful examination
of the properties of Cannabis sativa is both
in order and needful, if the subject is to be
placed into its proper perspective and seen
in such a light as to remove it from the dark
corners that fear, social prejudice, and mis-
information have placed it.
In way of background it might be mentioned
that the use of cannabis has a long document,
ed history both as drug producing euphoria
and as a medicinal agent. As a medicine
marijuana was prescribed for such ailments
as: "coughing, fatigue, asthma, delrium tre-
mens, migrane headaches, and painful men-
struation (1)." Marijuana was recognized and
listed as a medicinal agent in Pharmaco-
peia until 1937, at which time the 1937 Tax
Act made its use exceeding expensive and
also at which time the availability and use of
synthetic drugs began to increase. It m ght
also be mentioned that a group of French
writers, namely Baudelaire, Gautier, and
Dumas pere, formed during the 1850's Le
Club des Hachichins, the hashish smokers,
and it has been stated that the influence of
cannabis is quite evident in their literature
and also in their personnel histories (1).
Hallucinogenic organic mater is generally
recognized as falling into two catagories:
During the 1940's it was found that these
active mechanisms were isomers of tetrahy-
drocannablnal, an organic compound which
contains variously arranged atoms of car-
bon, hydrogen, andoxygeninhexacyclicmole-
cular rings. It will suffice to state that re-
cent investigation has established that delta-
1 tetrahydrocannabinol is the primary
euphoric agent of marijuana. It might be
noted, however, that there are "about 80
derivatives of cannabinol (1)." of which some
are known to play an active role in the eu-
phoric mechanism and some of which are
known to have only a passive involvement.
It might also be noted that some of these
compounds are unstable and change form,
some alternating between active and inactive
stages (2).
During the last half of the past decade,
Rafael Mechoulan and Yehiel Gaoni, of the
Hebrew University in Israel, succeeded in
synthesizing the primary ingredient of mari-
juana in the pure form and this may prove
to be of substantial importance in the further
interpretation of why marijuana produces the
effects it does. The chemistry of Cannabis
sativa is extremely complex and Is at present
not fully understood.
The effects of cannabis are generally con-
fined to the central nervous system of the
individual. According to recent investiga-
tions the use of cannabis "does not notice-
ably affect the gross behavior of rats or
mice or simple learning in rats. . .in dogs
it induces a dreamy, somnolent state remi.
niscent of the last stage of a human high (1)."
Large intakes of the drug may produce
vomiting, diarrhea, and a loss of muscular
control. Doses large enough to cause these
effects are rarely reached and there are no
documented reports of a human fatality from
the use of cannabis.
Literature, both scientifically documented
and not, describing the effects of cannabis
on an individual is both bountiful and volu-
minous. Walter Bromberg (1934), a psychla-
trist described in detail the experiences of
duals Intellectual functioning, however after
the period of intoxication, performance was
fouiid to return to a normal level. It was also
found that memory and verbal facility were
not impaired during intoxication and that
under low dosage were often improved (1).
Other effects of cannabis use include:
increased frequency and amount of urina-
tion, dry throat and mouth and a sense of
hunger, and a slight increase in blood pres-
sure. A great number of myths have develop-
ed as to the effects of cannabis on social in-
volvement, these myths are due in general
to misunderstanding and misinformation. Re-
cent data reports (and my five independent
sources collectively confirm) that:
1) The use of marijuana does not in itself
lead to the use of more powerful drugs.
2) Marijuana does not "incite people to
aggression and violent criminal behavior
(1)."
3) Marijuana does not "stimulate sexual
desire or power (1)."
4) Marijuana does not in itself cause a
moral breakdown, but rather its use is a re-
suit of a previous moral breakdown.
5) Types of marijuana smoked in America
do not in themselves produce lethargy. Long-
termed use of hashish in the Eastern cul-
tures may possibly cause lethargy in some
individuals, but one may also consider the
socio-economic situation to also be a major
contributing factor. Studies of American col-
lege students have shown that "many of
them had suffered serious conflicts or de-
pression long before they began to use the
drug (1)."
It appears now that a great number of
researchers have reached the conclusion
that, "moderate use of mariiuana does not
produce physical or mental deterioration
(1)." The British Government stated in a
report It sponsored in India, during the 1890's,
comparing the effects of marijuana and Scotch
whisky that cannabis did not "produce any
disease or mental or moral damage or that
it. . .lead to excess (more) than the moderate
California sent the
the State legislature
an official report of
use of whisky did (1)." A recent study by
the Washington State Bureau of Motor Ve-
hicles found that marijuana causes signifi-
cantly less impairment of driving ability
than alcohol does (4).
The University of
following statement to
within the context of
its research:
"It must be acknowledged that the brief
duration of action and low potency of
available marijuana preparations and its
freedom from the nutritional side ef-
fects of alcohol do indeed suggest a les-
ser hazard in the use of marijuana
(4).»
The State News of Michigan State Umver-
sity states:
"Marijuana is less physically dangerous
and addictive than alcohol or cigarette
smoking, both of which enjoy legal sanc-
tion (4)."
From the other side, Dr. James L. God-
dard, former Head of the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration has said the question is
"debatable." Before the House Commerce
Committee, Dr. Goddard is quoted as say-
ing: "I did not, and I do not condone the use
of marijuana (4)." Whether we condone the
use of marijuana is not exptremely impor-
tant, what is important is, however, that
we understand its properties and its effects
and that we recognize these in the light of
fact rather than In the shadows of fear and
ignorance.

Dear Editor;
Happy New Yearl Happy New
Paper! About a year ago there
was a dream which supplemented
the Mountclef Echo — the short-
lived "FRESH AIR" section.
Since then Fresh Air has con.
notated and reputated damn near
anything to damn near every,
body who experienced the far-
reaching vibrations which em.
erged from the funky green house
on Hillcrest.
The dream reached, to me,
its utmost realization in the
New(s)Paper I just read. Ironi-
cally enough, it was that short,
lived supplement which bore out
the name Fresh Air to a core
of people who attempted to ex.
periment a communal living sit.
uation.
Fresh Air soon became a
dream of a new way of life.
Now, when the New(s)Paper
comes out (a long-time coming)
the core of people seem to be
going their own way doing their
own thing. The culmination of
one dream coincides with the
cessation of another dream. But
Fresh Air Is not dead. As the
world gets smoggler, there are
certain souls who get stronger
and decide to breathe their own
Fresh Air.
I'd have called this a love
letter, but there are too many
unreal connotations to the word
"love" right now as I look in
and out and in and out.
Some people may be rejoicing
at the death of an opium den,
crash pad, house of ill repute.
They are rejoicing at nothing
but their own guilt-rldden, pre-
judiced ignorance. Some people
may be sorrowful at the "death"
of a passionate experiment.
There is no need for that.
Most people probably don't
know what I'm talking about.
God Bless You. I hope your
baby is as beautiful as your
paper.
Amen.
B.C.
Editor;
To those critics of the recent
edition of the "student weekly
paper": may I remind them that
this is your first edition and as
such an experiment. May I sug.
gest that these critics join your
staff and attempt to assist in the
production of the kind of publi-
cation which they expect to re.
celve.
I am personally concerned
about the cost of the last edl.
tlon, especially the wasted space.
I had to pay for that borderwork
and "art" photography and I
think the price was too high.
May I suggest that the Decree
is our literary magazine and I
believe that it would have a
place for the "art" also. A
large majority of the space used
in this newspaper should have
been material for the Decree.
Maybe you want a Decree and not
a newspaper and If so you have
taken the wrong job. We could
still arrange for a "Decree" to
be published If you want It.
I publicly volunteer to work on
your weekly paper — to produce a

Our people have been labelled with Americans of Mexi-
can descent, Spanish-Americans, citizens with Spanish
surnames, and of course, the term which is currently
in vogue: Mexican-American. All these terms have one
thing in common, these are labels created by Anglos
and imposed upon us by Anglos. Because these terms
were imposed upon us, we must seek a new name for
ourselves. Whatever It is, IT MUST BE OUR OWN
CREATION.

Mexican-American or Chicano?
Anthony I. Fernandez
156 Lora Lane
Fillmore, Calif.
SEVEN
Before we begin our examination of the term Mexi-
can-American it is Interesting to note how the anglo
applies labels to peoples of color In this country. The
Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos, Puerto Rlcans and of course
Blacks are never referred to as Americans, but as Chi-
nese Americans, Japanese Americans, etc. — They are
accepted as Americans. To gain an insight into the
contradictions that make up the Anglo mind we only
have to look at how the foreigners who came to the new
world called themselves Americans and in turn labelled
the indlgeneous peoples with the name of a country on
the other side of the globe.
Let us analyze the term Mexican-American: The
term Is repulsive to us for the two reasons already
mentioned. It was Imposed upon us and it is a racist
designation. But there Is a third reason. The hyphena.
tion implies that we are immigrants. This Is totally
erroneous. We simply do not fit into the category of
immigrant because we are indigenous to the Southwest.
The first permanent settlements in what is now the
U. S, were made by Spanish and meztlso before the pil-
grims (refugees). The descendants of these pioneers
still live in New Mexico. We crossed no oceans to
come here.
The term Mexican or Mexicano would be totally
acceptable but for reasons that will be mentioned it is
only partially acceptable. The term implies that we are
citizens of the Republic of Mexico. This we are not. We
are not Mexican nationals. That Is to say we are not
politically Mexican, but we are definitely Mexican ra-
cially. The blood that flows In our veins is Mexican
blood. Linguistically, and to varying degrees culturally
we are just as Mexican as a citizen of the Republic.
However, the political reality differentiates us from the
Mexican national.
Our partial rejection of the Mexican does not mean we
accept the phrase, "of Mexican descent". This phrase
is repulsive to us because it implies a condescending to
something else. This something else apparently means
Americans. THIS IS TOTALLY ERRONEOUS. Slncethis
implies that we were not Americans to begin with. All
the people of South, Central and North America are Ameri-
cans. Especially the Indio and meztlso peoples. It is the
whites that should be referred to as Americans of Euro-
pean descent. We are still Mexican, but our reality
is that we are not living in the Republic of Mexico but
in what is known as the U.S.A.
We embrace the term, Chicano for many reasons. The
most Important reason is that Chicano Is our own crea-
tion. Here lies the beauty of Chicano. It is not the pro-
duct of some Anglo sociologist, nor Is It an apologetic
term for what we are but it is our name born in the
street of our barrios.
When we choose to call ourselves Chlcanos and not
"Mexican-Americans" we are taking a step towards be-
coming a free people. A free people determines Its
own name. Have our people determined this or has
the Anglo?
If you were on trial for being a Christian, would there be
sufficient evidence
to convict you?

memories are made of this
By Bill Carlson
Walt Disney's dead and gone but we all know that
Mickey Mouse is immortal. So, for our immortality
rate to increase, we must brand name our cartoons.
College life is not much different. Amazing little facts
to learn, poetry to read; and yes, games and week-end
dances. A tradition to live through was there for the
brainwashing.
The great plant was built to produce future Walt
Disneys for our American Dreams to independently
develop. Over and over again the children read their
poetry. Expansion fought to develop, but people are
people, and you can't lay waste.
Of course, you could lay anything until puberty; but,
after those hairs began to grow your mind began to get
clogged up with all those strange little kinky hairs,
hard and soft and moist things, love and hate and a lot
of other non.Disney delights. But we're all in COLLEGE
now.
"Why don't we read Sex Strikes Out in a Literature
class?" "Why not?" And we all buried our heads in
our poetry, because we hid our dope in our anthologies.
And it's almost time for the tip-off. We can't miss
the game. The team is stoned!
Ill just let you study
and slip into your Disney-dream
Then go to the weekend party
Get drunk, go home, masturbate
But Che*
he died
And what damn good does it do to him that
Mickey Mouse is immortal?
I don't know so I guess I'll just read my poetry. And
I can study Psych. Figure out why we do what we do, and
theorize the things I've learned.
For years now, it's all been hanging over my head. For
years now it's been battling with the fear to say "What the
Hell!" For years now it's all been hanging over my head
and coming out of my mouth, "What's it all about'"
And even Walt Disney is dead.

8tt*****,
If this wasn't so serious, I'd laugh.
In case the importance and yet ludicrousness of these
past developments concerning women's hours have con-
fused you— may I briefly outline them.
1. In Senate bill No. 3 passed on Oct. 30, which was to
provide ways and means for resolving the question of
college governance, sec No. 4 stated that "until the
Commission has resolved its policy of governance,
the rules pertaining to dormitory hours are suspended.
President Olson agreed to this and stated in an address
to the Senate on Oct. 30 that he had a feeling of basi-
cally toward the bill.
2. in the Governance Commission a resolution was
passed on Nov. 8, placing the first task of the Com mis-
sion to be a defining of roles of the segments within
the college and an investigation of the governance of the
college.
3. As a member, though not a voting member, of the
Commission, President Olson continually brought up the
issue of hours, demanding that it be solved first.
4. in reaction to these pressures, the Commission
requested the Board of Regents to continue the suspen-
sion of hours.
5. No students were present when Dr. Olson present-
ed this request and his request that hours be reinstated,
to the Board of Regents. The Board recommended that
hours be reinstated.
6. in the Governance Commission, this recommen.
dation with the amendment of self-determinlng hours
for Junior and Senior women was passed. A primary
reason for some of the student yes-votes was that they
wished the matter to be taken out of the Commission
because it was hindering the priority task of outlining
college governance. Two negative votes were cast be-
cause the students felt that "in loco parentis" had no
place on any campus, that hours for Freshman ana
Sophomores are no more just than hours had been for
Juniors and Seniors, and that student conduct was a
matter that should be primarily under student jurlsdlc-
tion.
7. in reacion to the reinstatement of hours for Fresh,
man and Sophomore women, the Senate passed resolu-
tion "12 in which the President's action was viewed
as inconsistent with his previous statements and with
the guidelines of the Commission in that the priority
task had not been completed nor a report issued. The
Senate therefore urged women to consider all hours
suspended and referred to the College committee on
Student Conduct the issue of women's hours, providing
that the findings of that Committee are in line with
the forthcoming politlces from the Commission.
8. President Olson's subsequent chapel lecture on
Dec. 9 warned students of possible consequences for
following the Senate's resolution, admonished students
not to believe everything that they heard, and conclud-
ed with an assurance of the love, concern and well
meaning on the part of the administration for the stu-
dents.
There are the basic facts, but aren't you wondering
now like me why the term "unilateral" is applied to
students whenever we take our right seriously, yet
never seems to come into the charges when an admin-
istrative official carries our his personal beliefs in
like manner. I've been wondering why both sides seem
to be playing a dare-game. I've been wondering why
the administration is called that — funny how defini-
tions change in use. I've been wondering what all those
highminded Ideals like "love of truth and freedom"
on our seal mean. I've been wondering if everyone
realizes that this issue could determine our future
rights and powers as individuals and a group on this
campus. And now I've just been wondering, since I've
been told it's all for my own good, when do I get my
brownie button and gold star. (And I promise I won't
listen to any naughty people or accept rides from
strangers.)

e> Listen People!
Read on, think on, fellow students. Replace
the general reference of "man" with that of
"administration." Reopen, refresh your
minds with the controversial (!) topic of hours.
Review the reasonabele justification of their
position by the "en loco parentis" theory.
If you will ponder the matter carefully,
you will find that the position and result-
ing administrative actions reek of reason.
Students simply do not stop to consider
the tremendous sacrifices that the adminis-
tration had to make concerning the public
image of our institution by compromising a
modified women's hours system. These sac»
rifices were reasonably paramount to any
sacrifices which women students would pos-
sibly make In relation to the hours system.
Many students do not realize or appreciate
the generosity of the administration in grant-
ing rights of self-determination to the Senior
and Junior women and the one hour weekday
limit extension for Sophomore and Fresh-
man women. The administration even went
so far as to concede to grace periods, late
leaves and the special security provision.
These are all generous concessions on the
part of the administration , aren't they? Well at
least from the administrations point of view
they were. But brothers and sisters, If you
believe In this type of "reasoning," I must
ask you, where is your head?
A majority of CLC students, male and
female, are quite disillusioned with these
so-called processes of reason. Processes
which, through compromise, are nullifying,
denouncing, and destroying the very prin-
ciples of the abolishment of hours. One of
the major objections to hours was that it
was discriminatory to women. The hours
schedule has now become a specialized type
of discrimination against the Sophomore
and Freshmen women. Why? Is It due to a
supposed lack of maturity on our part? Is
it because we do not have enough sense to
know how to plan the harmony of social life
amd intellectual expansion without flunking
out of our classes or getting raped?
The majority of the, women on this campus
have already been allowed to exercise free-
dom in this area. The rest have not. Since
these undeveloped people have already come
away from home to college, it is about time
tnat they learn to plan their lives, to take on
the responsibility of Increased freedom which
will force them to develop In this area. The
whole idea of coming away to college Is to
be on your own — that fabulous taste of an In-
dependent life; It Is not to have self-deter-
mination granted to students as a privilege

when it should be a Right.
It is hard to learn anything until you do
it yourself; making your own decisions. Many
youths are Immature because they have never
been given the chance to mature — there are
too many adults trying to live their lives
for them. Most girls never had hours un-
der their parents care; why should they
here? Some girls did have enforced hours
under their parents; It Is the moral obli-
gation of the college to give these women
a chance to make their own futures.
The college has another "reason" for
maintaining hours for the underclasswom-
en: The supposed deterioration of our moral
standards; hence the threat of losing the
monetary support of various Christian con-
gregatlons. What deterioration of values?
Progressive colleges all over the nation
are switching to an open hours program
without resulting moral complications. So
tell me, by what per cent did pregnancies
among unmarried women students increase
during our brief period of freedom? What
was the increase in serious infractions of
residence hall rules? If anything, the ma-
jority of women students either remained
in their same patterns or became more
conservative.
I would suggest that the image-consclous
CLC administration abolish enforced hours
and in Its stead establish a system of rec
ommended hours, maintaining the security
provisions. This would allow our college
to make the transition from the elemen-
tary "demerit system" with all It's nega-
tive trimmings which beg for disobedience
to a more positive and mature attitude of an
honor system.
Dear Administration— listen and experi-
ment with these proposals which are sup-
ported by student action.
Fellow women— become actively Involved
in supporting this program — it is for your
benefit. We are obliged to take action. Defend
your principles. You have heard from both
sides of view; do what Is right and true In
your mind, make your decision and support it.
"Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and
remember what peace there may be in si-
lence. As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons. Speak
your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to
others, even the dull and ignorant; they too
have their story."
— Desiderata
Please take action.
Sincerely,

Afterthought
There are plenty of kids who care about
what's going on at CLC, but they will not
support their ideas and beliefs with actions
for fear of being hassled. I tried to stim-
ulate the student body Into positive action
concerning discriminatory hours regulations
through publication of an open letter to the
students and administration.
I went to pick up my master article from
central' service, expecting them to be fin-
ished, but apparently I wasn't really expect-
ed: I was Informed that all potentially con-
troversial material had to meet THE DEAM's
approval before publication. My article had
been sent to HIS office and had not yet
returned. I bee-lined it to THE DEAN's
office to resolve the mystery, BAD news:
I would have to see THE DEAN person-
ally. (Everybody wears the Big Smile) THE
DEAN was extremely polite, kind, fatherly,
et cetera. You see, the whole mess was a
mistake. THE DEAN had skimmed and ap-
proved my article shortly after he received
it, but strangely enough, someone happened
to come In and question THE DEAN con-
cerning "proper use of central services."
Big Conference, but no decisions finalized.
Sounds ltke-what?
Draw your own conclusions. The most
significant impression was the unending re-
assurance that my article was not detained
for controverslallty but the "problem" of
proper use of central services by students.

The CLC mat men, just off the Christmas
vacation, turned in an impressive win over
Claremont College Tuesday, January 6. The
Kingsmen rallied for 5 pins, 2 decisions and
2 forfeits in downing Claremont 41-5. Rod
Nishura of Claremont turned in the 5 points
as he pinned CLC's Ken McMillen in the
118 pound class. Rubalacava andQuentmeyer
of CLC won on forfeits at 126 and 134 lbs.,
respectively. Team Captain Chuck LaGamma
gave CLC its first pin and was followed
with pins by Sowers, Lee, Lazaga, and
Kelly. Wright and Standerfer both won on
decisions.
Last Friday night the tables were turned
by the Biola Eagles. The Eagles came to
CLC with a 7-0 record and, never having
defeated the Kingsmen before, were out for
the win. The Kingsmen were wrestling with,
out Rubalacava and Sowers, who were out
with illness and injury.
Kingsmen Basketball
Underway
By Frank Nausin
Last quarter, while most of us were pre-
paring for final exams, the Kingsmen basket-
ball team opened its season. Traveling to
Redlands, for the Redlands tournament, the
Kingsmen were able to win one out of three
and finish in sixth place In the tournament.
In the first game they suffered a 90 to 61
defeat at the hands: of a powerful Azusa
Pacific team. On Friday night a come from
behind effort gave them a 79 to 63 win.
Saturday night the Kingsmen dropped the
Consolation game to a tough Pasadena ball
club.
Following the tournament and finals the
team journeyed to the cold climate of Alaska
to battle the Alaskians. The first game
found the Kingsmen shooting as cold as the
weather outside and the Kingsmen went down
to defeat by the score of 86 to 77. The
second night, however, proved to be a differ-
ent story using an effective stall the Kings-
men defeated the Alaskans 59 to 57. The
team then moved to Tacoma to play our sister
college Pacific Lutheran University. The
young Kingsmen hustled to a 36-36 halftime
score but with about five minutes left in the
game succumbed to the bigger and more
experienced Knights, 73 to 62.
Returning from vacation the Kingsmen
again hit the road. They met the Pomona
Sagehens at Pomona. Led by Junior guard
Tim Iverson's 13 pts. and Sophomore Wayne
Erickson's 14 pts., the Kingsmen gave them
a real run for the money, finally losing 52
to 51. This weekend our weary travelers
blew into Phoenix and were nearly blown
back out again by the hot shooting Ante-
lopes, 104 to 69. The Antelopes shot a
sizzling 55 per cent from the floor and
although the Kingsmen shot 41 per cent
themselves it was not nearly enough. Again
the Kingsmen were lead by Tim Iverson with
19 pts. and by Clay Hitchcock's 14 pts.,
freshman Rich Gerding chipped in 8 pts.
On Saturday the team flew into San Diego to
take on arch rival Cal Western. They ran
into another hot shooting aggregation and
came out on the short end of a 92 to 76
score. Iverson had his best night of the
season with 27 pts., Gerding chipped in
with 13 pts., soph Ed Stillian threw in 9
pts., and Erickson managed 8 pts. The
Westerners shot a blistering 62 per cent
from the floor, and the Kingsmen shot a
very respectable 48 per cent.
Coach Robert Campbell is again plagued
this year with a young team. With only one
senior, in the person of Chris Elkins, and
three juniors, Iverson, Don Hossler, and
Tim Tobin the Kingsmen are relatively
inexperienced. The Kingsmen are also trou.
bled by lack of size, something which is not
uncommon to C.L.C. basketball. Recently
the team has gotten good efforts out of a good
crop of freshmen such as, Rich Gerding,
Clay Hitchcock, and John Siemens. The
success of the team hinges on how fast these
and other young players can mature, in order
to give bench strength to the nucleus of
experienced players. Coach Campbell has
said he is pleased with the attitude of the
team and many of their games evidence
this. There has not been a game this year
that the team need be ashamed of. They
have hustled and given their best; some-
times your best is just not good enough.
The frosh team, under the tutalage of
Bob Pitman has won 2 while losing 3.
They have been lead by Rich Gerding and
Clay Hitchcock in scoring and have gotten
good efforts out.of Reg Stoner, Byron Calos,
and Pat Daley. The frosh recently beat
Pomona, to avenge an earlier defeat in the
Pasadena tourney, 58 to 55. They lost this
weekend to Cal Western 85 to 54, leading
scorers in this game were Daley with 16
pts., Calos with 14 pts., and the fine re-
bounding work of Reg Stoner, who ended the
game with 13 rebounds. The frosh were
hindered by the absence of Rich Gerding,
who missed the game because of poor con-
nections in transportation.
The Kingsmen record now stands at 2 wins
and 7 losses. The Kingsmen look to improve
that record this week against Westmont
College on Tuesday, in Santa Barbara, and
then come home, finally, for their first
home games of the season, against Biola
and Pasadena Colleges. The Kingsmen are
better than their record indicates, I look
for the young, hustling Kingsmen to bust
loose any time, this week could be the
time. Last Friday night the Wrestling team
received tremendous support. Let us the
students of C.L.C. do the same for the
basketball team. A young team can rise to
big things with a lot of cheering behind
them, give them your support I do not think
they will disappoint you.
The match began with Biola pinning Mc-
Millen at 118 pounds and Haines at 126
pounds. At 134 lbs., LaGamma wrestled one
of his finest matches as he won a convincing
12*4 decision over Brandt of Biola. The
Eagles came back with a 4-2 decision over
CLC's Tim Pinkney. In the 150 lb. class
Ken Wright of CLC scored a quick five
points and went on to win 5-0 over his op-
ponent. Biola roared back with a pin in the
158 lb. division and a default In the 167
lb. class. In that match Adrian Lee suf-
fered an arm Injury and was unable to go
on. CLC's Ted Lazaga was quickly pinned
by Mike Fisher of Biola. Fisher Is a defend-
ing District Champion and placed high In
the Nationals last year. Biola elected to
forfeit the last two matches, making the final
score Biola 28, CLC 16.
The King_smen are now 1-2-1 on the sea-
son. In the next home match the Kingsmen
meet UCSB, Wednesday, January 21.

There's no doubt that Red China today
is jne of the world powers. It is unfortunate
that many Americans do not have a good
understanding of that world. To provide an
opportunity for better understanding,
several California Lutheran College depart-
ments are offering courses to provide more
information and understanding.
Dr. Edward C. Tseng, Chairman of CLC's
Political Science Department, is offering
courses on governments in the Far East,
particularly Red China. In these courses
problems facing both Chinas are dis-
cussed.
As a part of the course students will
join Dr. Tseng in a tour of the Orient
this summer. Departing June 18, they will
go on a 24 day tour to Japan, Formosa, the
Philippines, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore
and Honolulu. Course credits are available.
The tour cost of $1390 per person includes
the cost of tuition for two courses. Tour
membership is rapidly filling. Anyone In-
te rested should contact Dr. Tseng as soon
as possible. Phone: (805)495-2181, ext. 179.
•This tour is being conducted under the as-
sumption that the best learning comes with
experiencing the situation.
Dr. Tseng is a recognized authority on Far
Eastern and International affairs. Born in
China, Dr. Tseng speaks Chinese and
English fluently. He received his early edu-
cation in China and came to this country
when his homeland fell under Communist
control. While in the U.S., he earned a Ph.D.
degree in Far Eastern and International
Affairs.

The Senior Recital is a perfor-
mance to be given by each music
major in his senior year, demon-
strating his capabilities in his
major field of study. Last Sun-
day, January 18th, organist Paul
Torgersen presented his hour
performance in the gym. The af-
fair attended by assorted rela-
tives, music students, faculty,
administrators, etc., numbered
approximately two hundred peo-
ple.
This review serves merely
to present my impressions of
Paul's performance.
Paul began his program with
the "Fantasia In Eco, Movendo
Un Registro" by A. Banchieri
and foUowed it with the "Fugue
in A Minor" by Cernohorsky.
The "fugue" was executed nice-
ly. The phrasing was clear and
distinct and the piece seemed to
progress at a nicely paced tem-
po. The "Fantasia" was perform-
ed well but in places the flow was
interrupted and the interaction of
the voices was not distinct. Paul
then played three chorale pre-
Dr. Tseng worked for many years at the
U. N. and has taught at several leading
American colleges. He is a respected scho-
lar in his field and a much sought after
speaker. Through his family, Dr. Tseng has
come into contact with a number of prom-
inent Asian political leaders. These con-
tacts have further enhanced his understand-
ing of the Far East.
ludes on "In Dulci Jubilo" by
Buxtehude, J.S. Bach and H. Sch-
roeder, respectively, which were
generally well done. A spirited
but reserved performance of the
'^Concerto in A Minor" by Vival-
di, during which only rarely was
the tempo uneven, concluded the
first part of the program. The
audience appreciatively acknow-
ledged the first section of the
program. An intermission of
about fifteen minutes followed.
I found the second part of the
program to be more enjoyable
than the first and It seemed to
me Paul himself enjoyed the
second half more. There was
more room for expression dur-
lng the second half of the pro-
gram and Paul amply took ad-
vantage of the opportunity. "L
'Ange A La Trompette" and
"Adagio" seemed to create a
change of perspective which was
both appropriate and needed. I
especially enjoyed the "Adagio"
which was carefully and beauti-
fully done. Paul ended his recital
with "Tocatta in F Major" by
J.S. Bach and was very well re-
ceived by the audience.

Experimental Drugs (Class)
The second meeting of the drug class took place on Monday,
Jan. 19, at 7:30 p.m. In room E-l. The first one is not worth
noting except for the fact that it took place one week earlier.
Like most new classes, it opened with an introduction which was
at least relevant to the class. Most introductions are a boring
monologue consisting of effete (there's that magic word, Agnew
fans) contagion enterprising the new quarter. So much for that.
This week's topic consisted of the "hard narcotics." Mostly
opium, Morphine and Heroin, plus a little sideshow of Cocaine.
Next week we will be listening adroitly to the lecture on de-
pressant drugs and sleep-inducing drugs. One must learn the
art of listening skillfully In Mr. Wolf's class because he goes
over so much Information that most people have never heard of,
and he does It with amazing ease.
The essentials of Monday's talk, (and by the way, you are allowed
to ask questions which is an immense help) was Opium and
Heroin. Opium is derived from the Papaver Sonaniferum plant,
which in basic Latin means sleep-producing. Morphine is deri-
ved from opium, and is the "most effective pain-rellever you
can buy" on the black market or with a prescription. Heroin
can be taken either through sniffing (a practice not recommended
(nor or any of these) since it tends to dry up the sinus cavatles.),
tablet form, or intravenously. Intravenously is definitely the most
dangerous. There is a high risk of Infection, especially if the
bloodvein Is missed. The "serum" Is injected into the muscle,
where it lies dormant except for the fact that it produces a seri-
ous infection. Heroin is colorless, and has a metallic sweet taste.

"Themes of Our Times"
A collection of paintings by Carlisle Cooper is presently being
exhibited in the CUB. Mr. Cooper began his artistic career as the
author of the Chicago Tribune Daniel Boone cartoon strip. He pre-
sently teaches art at Ventura College, and has exhibited paintings
in Chicago, Seattle, Los Angeles, and locally.
The paintings in the CUB were done over the past few years.
The artist did not plan out each painting, since, according to Mr.
Cooper, planning kills spontenelty; Some of the paintings reflect
this. The themes of the paintings are basic and are themes of all
times, as well as of our times, as the title of the exhibition states.
Themes of war, racial violence, religion, and the emergence of
technology and new methods of discovery are apparent. All of these
evolve around the central theme of the individual's place in society
today. According to the artist, this computerized and technological
era Is the setting in which man's soul-psyche must remain unchanged
and individualistic. Art's important role is to reveal man's soul-
psyche to himself. Does Mr. Cooper's work fill this role?
ev?eW(
e<d(
Among the collection of approximately fifty paintings, there is
a series of three Bride paintings, symbolizing the Trinity, which are
very interesting. In these paintings, the artist Is attempting to tie
together outer space, (the round objects depicting planets) and the
inner space in the mind, seen in the nuns. The limitlessness of outer
space cannot be allowed to overwhelm man to the extent that he loses
touch with himself; inner reflection is necessary. In these paintings,
Mr. Cooper seems to succeed in his goal, but only after their meaning
is explained.
Another painting which is a mixture of oil and collage, is entitled
"Rap Brown." It deals with the confused racial situation of today.
Neither a pro nor con opinion is dominant, and the painting is more
of a statement. Mr. Cooper commented that he wanted to portray
an equal balance of this outstanding black military leader. This is
certainly a revelation of man's soul-psyche.
"Homo Sapiens" is another Interesting painting which deals with
the effect of the venture into space on man's philosophical thought.
"In the beginning. . . .God" and the words "Being being being" are
prominant on the canvas and give clues to the upsetting complica-
tions which man must face in this age of technology.
The purpose of this poll Is to provide information concerning
the viewpoints of the CLC students concerning women's hours.
Questions on the poll were not meant to be leading or biased.
Unfortunately, several students attacked us, as if we were trying
to change the college policy. We would like it to be known that we
were trying to get an honest cross-section of opinion and we were
not trying to change the policy of this college.
Two hundred and forty-four polls were received: 148 women
and 96 men.
One of the questions asked, was, "Do you feel that the major,
ity of women students at CLC are mature enough to determine
their own hours?" The answers received were:
Men Yes
Freshman 30
Sophomores 22
Juniors 11
Seniors 13
Fifth Year 2
Women 3g
Sophomores 25
Juniors 18
Seniors 8
Another question was: "Should hours be uniform for men and
women?" The answers were:
Men
Freshmen
Sophomores
Juniors
Seniors
Fifth
Women
Freshmen
Sophomores
Juniors
Seniors i
Our next question was, "What kind of an hours system would
you suggest, if any?" One hundred and twenty-two students sug-
gested no hours; 63 freshmen, thirty sophomores, 15 juniors, 13
seniors and 1 fifth year student. Thirteen students are satisfied
with the hours system now in effect, of which four were sophomores
two were juniors and three were seniors. Other suggestions were:
Nine students suggested hours for all freshmen, they were 2 sopho-
mores, 2 juniors, 4 seniors and 1 fifth year. Twenty students think
all first quarter freshmen students should have hours and no
hours after the first quarter; they were 10 freshmen, 4 sophomores
4 juniors and 2 seniors. One sophomore, 1 junior and 3 seniors
feel that only freshmen girls should have hours. One freshmam. 4
sophomores, 1 junior and 2 seniors said only first quarter fresh
man girls need hours. Four students; 2 freshmen, 1 junior and 1
senior feel all freshmen and sophomores need hours. One fresh,
man and one senior said that all women need hours. Eight people,
6 freshmen and 2 sophomores felt that there should be hours on
weekdays but none of weekends. Nine freshmen, 2 sophomores and
1 junior said hours should be determined by the daughter and
her parents. One sophomore said that women's hours should be
determined by grand point average. A few other suggestions were:
"Having hours to suit each woman"; "men should be in by 7 p.m.
with all lights out and tucked in, women in by 6:30 p.m. with all
lights out and tucked in with the punishment for coming in late
being no whipped cream on their hot chocolate;" "hours for
freshmen women of 12:30 and 3:00;" "only for men— 9:30 7 days
a week, 6 on holidays and 5:30 on Christian holidays;" "a guide-
line for freshmen but not absolute;" "hours for immature girls;"
"signing out in the room and calling if can't be in on time," "de-

termined by the parents after first quarter;" and "a random sys-
tem with lottery numbers being drawn out of a sterile bowl, girls
whose birthdays are drawn first are more likely to be made to
come in earliest and those with numbers over 250 need not come
in all night."
We had a question that was only for the men — "Why or why not
do you think women's hours concern you?" Sixty-three men
stated it did concern them and twenty-two felt it did not. Some of the
reasons were: "In the context of 'living in a community' these
are my sisters and they shouldn't be treated as my baby sisters.
It also sickens me that those people *administ rating' this school
feel that hours are necessary." "An institution which professes
individualism in Its founding philosophy can hardly support
this dualistlc absurdity called women's hours." "An adminis-
tration should never control the morals of an individual."
"It they expect me to die to free S, Vietnam, why can't I speak out
about freeing people in the U.S.A." "Women are people, too,
contrary to 2nd century belief." "Yes, because I have a woman!"
"The freedom of any part of humanity should concern all man.
kind." "Women's hours are just a forerunner to the needed
reforms which administration has blocked." "Because I'm the
wolf man and at 12:01 I go crazy and rape girls. I don't want to
have that privilege taken from me." "Because I am a con.
cerned male."
On the other side: "Because I'm not a girl." «*Who am I to
say when the women should be in." "The students should comply
with the rules set down at least for the remainder of the year."
"Hours don't mean anything to me because most of the girls here
are small time anyway, but I think they shouldn't be discrimi.
nated against."
We then asked what was thought of the hours system now in
effect. Fourteen freshmen agreed with it, 95 disagreed; 4 sopho-
mores agreed with it, 49 disagreed; 8 juniors agreed with it,
29 disagreed with it, 11 seniors agreed with it, 20 disagreed
with it and 1 fifth year disagreed with it. Some comments
about this system were: "It's a denial of the women's civil
liberties." "It's much like winning a battle, progress is made;
but the ideals which you are fighting for are still at stake."
•It's hard to draw a line as so, but a line must be drawn."
"Not much. It's just an attempt on his (Pres. Olson) part to
satisfy both the Regents and the students at the expense of the
younger women. Compromise, compromise, compromise ..."
"It's a step in the right direction, but still it does discriminate
against sophomores and freshmen women."
Next we asked the students what they thought the reason for
hours is. They answered as follows:
Reason Number of Students
Protection and control of women by the college 77
Parent pacification 35
Sexual activity 31
No apparent reason 28
Adjustment to academic responsibility 26
Churches' Financial support 23

RUTH
By Herouy Emmanuel
California Lutheran College has a fine
motto, Love of Christ, Truth and Freedom.
We the students want to see our college live
up to its motto. We are concerned with the
superfluous Issue that threatens to split the
college. The issue concerns the "freedom"
clause of the motto.
The issue of dorm hours Is straining the
relationship between certain groups for and
against the dorm hours. Looking at dorm
hours we just don't understand where they
should come in. Why not be fair to the women
and give them equal treatment as the men?
If the administration really wanted to be fair
on the basis of sex, then have hours for both
men and women or discard the hours com-
pletely. The stand of the administration, we
feel, is one of discrimination against the
fairer sex. In the eyes of the administration,
the freshmen and sophomore "girls" are not
mature enough to be given the freedom of
movement.
Another reason that could be levied would
be that the administration thinks that certain
immoral activities may occur if hours don't
exist. Well, let's explain again as wehavebe-
fore that the certain "immoral activities"
can occur at any time.
Yet a third reason might be that of security
precautions— of complications arising due to
the locking and the unlocking of the doors at
night. Let's hope that if this last reason Is
the only one for the presence of hours, that
some agreement will be reached between the
women and the guards.
Other than that the administration must
see that Imposing restrictions and hampering
freedom on any basis, sex and otherwise,
results In making the hampered feel treated
like immature persons. By imposing restric
tions upon us, we feel that the CLC adminis-
tration lias seen us not as men and women but
as irresponsible boys and girls. We are In
college now, In an academic community and
we want to be given full status in the freedom
of movement.
Nevertheless, it's nice to hear the words
HRISTk
"We love you" from the president of the col-
lege — but we feel that in an academic cominun.
Ity love towards others means also respect
for one another and we would feel similarly
disposed towards the administration if our in-
dividual rights were respected.
Looking around the United States, we can
see that dorm hours Is a dead question in a
great many universities and colleges. We feel
we are unnecessarily lagging behind.
May I be allowed to extend a plea to all
Junior and Senior women who are liberated
to help the freshmen and sophomores In
their liberation struggle. May I also request
the bodies of administration who imposed
hours upon us to give their stand on the is.
sue, a real, meaningful look. We are not
children but wo are young people wno want
these utterly childish rules regarding dorm
hours to be immediately done away with. We
want to feel in the midst of the (Ides of the
other universities and colleges which are
making other trends. We believe lnour motto
of Love of Christ, Truth and Freedom and
we would like our motto to be lived-up-to.

THE STUDENT VIEW
... the university as we have known it
may not survive.
I say "as we have known it." How? As a
despotism. As a creature of the state."
As a place where neither faculty nor stu.
dents — who alone constitute the organization
into a university — have control over its most
general policy. As a place where adminis-
trative practices that would no longer be
countenanced in business are enshrined and
elaborated. As a place where PR in the
worst sense is practiced to the limit: where,
under the canopy of the highest high-flown
statements, commencement oratory and effu-
sion of lofty sentiments, clothed in semi-
sacerdotal, semi-medieval cloak of monastic
tradition, gowns, "degrees," scepters of
office, hierarchies of honorable titles, free-
dom is fettered and honor suborned. It is
not just the badness of these practices, but
their badness in the context of the virtues
celebrated and claimed, that gives the pro-
test, like Luther's, its burning quality, its
and force.
And it is precisely this threat— the threat
of deep, far-reaching and long-needed change
— that makes the current "administrators"
pursue so immorally and justify so feebly
their "morality of fear"— the morality that
justifies their present deviousness in terms
of "preserving a valuable institution"—
which they are by their deviousness des-
troying while it stands.
— John R. Seeley
Harsh words? Perhaps. But the truth, at
least lor students, is unnustakeable. Specifi.
cally, then, what is our perspective
We demand a complete re-allocation of

power among the rightful and traditional

When the .administration ol a college as-
similates forcibly the traditional prero
tives associated with the faculty and stu-
dents, it is a sign that they have gone
beyond their proper role, which is to "expe-
dite the essential academic business of
teaching and learning . . . When the admin-
istration becomes the dominant force in
the community ... it is a sign that extra-
mural powers are in control . . . and the
administration is their agent." (Paul Good-
man, "Thoughts on Berkeley") At Calif,
ornia Lutheran College we make direct ref-
erence to the extra-mural authority of Church
and State; we regard such an authority base
as illegitimate.
It is at this point, when the administra-
Hon assumes such a role unchallenged,
academic and social freedoms are com-
promised and rendered subordinate to out-
side considerations. Ultimately, the student
owes allegiance solely to those forms of
authority in which he has participated In
creating, and there can be NO form of
authority which can legitimately stand be-

of higher education, the realm of Ideas,
and have tried to apply our findings to our
own situation.
Current "disciplinary channels" are flex-
ible only in the sense that they are Imposed
arbitrarily and without concern for due pro-
cess. It is also valid that many, if not
most, disciplinary decisions violate the legal
principle of double jeopardy and do, in fact,
violate the student's rights as guaranteed
under the Constitution of the United States
and as reaffirmed by the Supreme Court.
Students have rejected the concept of "in
loco parentis" by which our extra-curricular
life is ordered from without and which
attempts to appoint administrators as our
"moral guardians." The resultant interpre-
tation of the so-called Christian ethic of
conduct, arbitrarily imposed, has sanctioned
any number of absurdly restrictive policies
regulating hours, intervisitation, sex, re-
quired curricula, off-campus housing, poli-
tical expression, student government, etc.
Any such interpretation is inherently res-
trictive of the individual's freedom of con-
science.
It is the right of the student to be free
from such social restrictions if the essence
of academic freedom is to hold any real
meaning. ". . . no matter how much we
free the student to examine new and differ-
ent ideas, the context in which he operates
is set by the basic environment in which
he lives. Educational reform will not suc-
ceed without elimination of abbitrary social
rules." (Teddy O'Toole, National Student
Association)
The students have absolutely no substan-
live voice in the selection, retention, and
tenuring of academic personnel of the col-
lege. The responsibilities of academic free-
dom which are attendant upon students re-
quire his participation in these processes
if "academic freedom" is to become more
than trite verbage.
Though highly creative and relevant as stu-
dent concepts of curricula may be, students
• in not have substantive voice In the fom
lion and review of courses, grading and poli-
Cies of admission and transfer, all oi which
have been encroached upon by administra-
tive policy. These are joint faculty-student
prerogatives, and the students seek a voice
equal to the faculty in such matters.
We, the students, are indeed being ex-
ploited in the name of preservation of the
institution. Room and board requirements,
over which we have no control, are but one
example. Tuition is yet another in which our
student government, as collective bargaining
agent on behalf of our interests, has been
emasculated to this end. We are taught
analytical approaches to economics, politics,
philosophy and history but have been denied
meaningful outlets for interpretation and
application. We don't know whether to laugh,
cry or applaud when we read, "The college
community is a searching one. Even more
so at a Christian college the search must
be allowed honestly to go where it may and
discover what it must. Christian dynamics
that stand untested are of little use for the
college youth who is searching for values
that must be real to him."

FRUSTRATION
Frustration is the emotion that more than
any other I have felt in working through
Student Government this year. I believe
frustration is a feeling that is a part of all
'.students who work for improvements through
change under the present structure of admin-
istration, faculty, and .student roles.
It is necessary that students go either of
two ways if they desire any real voice in
the functioning of this college. The first
c oc
It
The enormity of this task is clear to us.
Somewhat less clear, perhaps, is that there
may be a definable "Student Role" at all.
Such as that may be, here are some final
observations:
1) Some form of existential humanism may
be the only "ethic" consistent with the
purposes of the academic community, and this
certainly appears more familiar and accept-
able to the students than any attempt to inter-
pret the "Christian ethic" for us.
2) Students will attempt the clarification
of faculty, student andadministrativeprerog.
atives for themselves and will seek a dele-
gation of policy-making power accordingly.
3) Hopefully, as Paul Goodman has written,
. the student activity will revive the
dormant community of the faculty." The
students will need faculty backing to sue-
ceed in the creation of new "channels"
conducive to communication.
4) 'The chief political action of students"
could, at present, again quoting Goodman,
". . . be intra-mural — humanizing and making
cultural the academic community — for the
colleges and universities have become so
tightly interlocked with the dominant tightly
interlocked system of society that any intra-
mural improvement will be a profound shock
to the system. Also, in these matters stu-
dents can really know what they are talking
about."
5) Substantial education of members of this
commission and all other power- wielding
segments of the college corporation may be
necessary prior to final agreement over
issues of substance. In conclusion, we quote
from the Skolnick Report to the National
Commission on the Causes and Prevention
of Violence, pp. 121-2:
... if the university is to function aca-
demically, serious questions must be raised
concerning its structure of power. Foremost
is the problem of attenuation of the uni-
versity's autonomy from distant interests, as
manifested in the location of decision-maxing
powers in the hands of trustees whose values
i interests so frequently conflict with
those of an academic community. Any sen-
ous attempl to come to grips with the
issues raised by contemporary student pro-
test must consider the problem harac-
ter ol this form of govern be
that trustee govt! name lias lost its use-
fulness, as Riesn, I Jencks have argued,
boards of trustees "seem in main ways to
use more trouble tlian they are worth."
On the other hand, the answer may Lie in
the direction of structuring boards into
loser accordance with the social and poli-
tical make-up of the community as a whole.
The overriding issue is whether an educa-
tional system can endure without the consent
and support of faculty and students, and
whether such higher authorities as trus-
tees, boards of regents, and legislatures
can expect tranquility on a campus that Is
governed on controversial Issues by remote
authorities whose understanding of academic
values is minimal and who are empowered
to undercut academic and administrative de-
cisions with which they disagree. Reform of
the present conditions of university boards
is a prerequisite to campus order in the
future.
Another prerequisite is the increased parti-
cipation of students in university decision,
making aad policy-making. The inclusion of
students in campus policy-making is arecog-
nit inn that formal political means are nee-
essary to provide adequate representation.
It is neither realistic nor justifiable to ex-
pect contemporary students to rem on-
tent as second class citizens within the
university, When the university was less im-
portant, I terms oi its social and

Smile— You are about to read. . .The Answer
A. THE ASSEMBLY
1. One man — one vote.
2. Membership consisting of all students,
faculty, and administrators, including secre-
taries, maintenance, etc.
3. Legislation passed goes to President
(See under Point C), who has the power
to veto.
4. Assembly has power to override Presi-
dential veto and direct bills to the Board
of Regents (See under Point D).
5. A weekly time for college government
shall be set aside during which time there
shall be no other academic or social busi-
ness transacted by the college (classes,
etc.).
B. THE CHAIR
1. A revolving chair shall be established
composed of one student, one faculty mem-
ber, and one administrator, each chosen by
his respective constituency.
2. Shall set the agenda and have power to
call special meetings of the assembly upon
sufficient notice.
3. One shall chair the meeting, the other
two assisting as parliamentary aides, helping
to rule on points of order, order of motions,
etc.
C. THE PRESIDENT
1. The office of the President to consist of:
One Regent
One Faculty
One Student
THE ANSWER: A ROUGH DRAFT
2. Student and faculty members of the
office will be granted a one-year term
leave of absence from teaching and class-
work responsibilities, or at least a major
reduction of these; there should be no reduc-
tion in faculty pay and student should receive
academic credit, room, board, and living
allowance.
3. These are full-time positions.
D. THE REGENTS
1. The Board of Regents shall be expanded
to include:
a) Two faculty and two students on each
of the five committes of the Regents, and
1 b) These faculty and student Regents
shall have full voting privileges accorded
to any other Regent.
2. The executive committee of the Board
of Regents to remain as is.
E. THE COMMITTEES
1. It shall be the task of this commls-
sion on college governance to define the
function of college committees, their mem-
bership, and to empower them (see next
page for a listing of committees by func-
tion).
2. Functions of committees (areas of
concern, that is) should not overlap.
3. There shall be no seniority principle
used in deciding committee membership
or chairmanships.
4. Committees shall be required to main-
tain sufficient records.

Committee Areas
(by function)
5. Since all committees are of vital inter-
est to the entire community, there shall
be students, faculty, and administrative per-
sonnel on every committee.
F. IMPLEMENTATION
1. Any changes in the Articles of Incor-
poration and the By-Laws of the college
which are necessary to provide for the
legality of this community government shall
be made.
2. This government will be given a charter
of definite period of length in time, say
5 years.
3. Target date for change-over to this
community government should be Spring
Quarter, 1970; a moratorium on controver-
sial social and academic legislation should
take effect during this Spring Quarter.
4. The General Assembly of the college
would then use this quarter for clarifica-
tion of the relations within the government
and the appointment of committee members,
election of chairmen, and selection of mem-
bers of the office of President and the
Board of Regents.
5. Student and faculty government, as well
as administrative pseudo-government, would
use this time to orderly dissolve the exist-
ing governmental channels.
G. INCIDENTAL BUT IMPORTANT ADDI-
TIONAL OBSERVATIONS
1. The offices of Dean of Women and Dean
of Students shall be replaced with three
Deans of Students; they shall be members
of a Judicial Appeals Board and, of course,
shall have the normal committee responsi-
bilities in the new government which shall
be determined by this governance commis-
sion.
2. Administrative officers of the coUege,
as determined by this governance commis-
sion, shall be required to teach a minimum
of two to a maximum of three courses per
year, not more than one per quarter and not
more than one during the summer session.
3. The educational value to students of
such a government cannot in any way be
overestimated — this is our answer to OUR
problem: an ant 1 -apathy campaign, if you
will. If students should have the oppor-
tunity to learn by participating, think of the
immense value to a society which is very
short on concerned, able participants. We
think of our real spirit of innovation, of our
ability to lead in education, and we know this
is our solution. The academic community
and the nation today need, and respect,
innovators of the new systems which our
society needs.

In the beginning was the word, and the word
was with "The Man" and the word was "The
Man." All things were made through (it/him)
and was not anything made that was made.
Upon pain of death for blasphemous writ-
ing and asking pardon if I unintentionally
offend, I wish again to expound on another
event in the sequence in "The Trials and
Tribulations of N. Goodfaith." You must
first understand one thing — N. Goodfaith
is what would be colloquially known as a
"schizo." One personality has a submis-
sive hyponotic susceptibility to assuming a
subordinate position in life. The other per-
sonality perpetrates the opposite aspect of
the split personality under the guise of pro-
tective concern and home-cure methods. The
basic plot is intricate, with many subplots
of which you are familiar, but the theme
centers around the realization during treat-
ment that, just as in N. Goodfaith's per-
sonality(s), rights, freedoms and other worthy
ideals in life are more often than not a facade
for not so rightful activities.
Just let me enumerate one of the most
recent activities that has further rent the
veil. A policy was drawn up on Dec. 22, 19G9,
by the Administrative Policy Committee com-
posed of exclusively administrative mem-
bers, in which the roles and rights of the
segments of the college were outlined. Out-
lining and suggesting are legitimate activi-
ties, as well as establishing rules pertaining
to their own peers. Even suggesting such
items to the faculty and students is pardon-
able because we do uphold the freedom of
opinion and to give advice. However, upon
being told (ordered) that we had to reconsi-
der and revise our proposed legislation to

Position
A student is like a page. He has a place,
and he is important because of his place.
We call such an arrangement, in its tota.
lity, a context. But it is my feeling that the
general body of pages in our book called
CLC, is most jumbled, out of order, out of
context. We have become a shuffled mass of
incoherent babblings. But we have an advan-
tage o^er the ordinary page, for we can ar-
range ourselves. There is no great arranger
who will come and make us coherent, we must
do that ourselves. Every student should know
where he stands, and place himself there.
But we are reluctant to do so. Consequently
we are confused as to our place, and most
give up in frustration. Thus we leave our-
selves open to be shuffled in any way a power
structure sees fit. We need to become dam-
nedly dogmatic in our understanding of the
H(Din
issues, the context in wnicn tms cam

Dear Editor:
Concerning Mr. Rob Ander-
son's unqialified remark that ap-
peared in last week's "FLYER"
— I want it clearly understood
by the readers and especially
Anderson, that the "art" photo-
graphy, as he calls it, is defini-
tely not art and can hardly be
called photography. My picture
collage is nothing more than pure
trash and space filler and was
intended to be just that
and nothing more. My I applaud
Mr. Anderson's financial aware-
ness though. Anyone who would
pay the price to have such a
collage actually printed ought to
have his little Journalism Pin
taken away.
Rick Rullman
Dear Editor:
This letter is much too late
in coming, but it seems to be
imperative to say something now
to get some competition of ideas
stirring within the student body.
On this campus there seems
to be either complete apathy
towards student government, or
complete self-centered interest
in student politics, and nothing
else. The Senate has become a
dictating body with a few leaders
who try to get done what they
think should be done without re-
presenting the majority of the
students. The apathetic silent
majority, by not acknowledging
the lack of integrity in it's lead-
ers, has let the Senate become
a useless, non-representative
tool in this institution. The in.
fringment of free speech is a
pregnant issue in the student
Senate. There is no opportunity
for competition of ideas or op-
position, and free speech is be-
coming a more frustrating issue.
The student Senate, because of
the interest of a few, has spent
it's time with trying to get no
hours for women, trying to get
a certain member of the admin-
istration ousted, choosing the
campus editor instead of the
Student Publications Committee,
and the ASB President has even
gone so far as to say that he
will appoint the student repre-
sentatives from each department
to the Curriculum Studies Com-
mittee. This is definitely not a
representation of the majority,
but lack of opposition makes the
Senate a useless, dictating body.
The Senate action demon-
strates how a small cult of stu-
dents are moving towards achiev-
ing complete Independence, the
results of which could prove to
be alienation of students, faculty,
and administration from one an-
other, with no one really caring
about any one but themselves.
The students in an Academic
community have a tremendously
unique and influential position as
far as constructively changing
and adding to the educational pur-
poses and academic areas of col-
lege life. We should be spending
more time on matters such as
good faculty evaluation program
which would work for the good
of the whole institution, rather
than be concerned with things
such as the Senate has been.
Student leaders have a respon-
sibility to the students they re-
present, and students have a re-
sponsibility to their student lea-
ders to make them do what they
want. Likewise, faculty have a
responsibility to the students and
students to the faculty, and the
same for the Administration and
Board of Regents.
This is a plea for integrity
on everyone's part to work for
the institution, not against it,
and to start a trend in competi.
tlon of ideas that can work for
the good of everyone Involved.

of women students at CLC, I
have come upon a plan which

is quite equitable and shows no
discrimination to women as to
their year, race, or class stand-

Well-1-1-1, for a while there I didn't think
Ole Luke would get a word in slantwise
with the "administration" attempting to "sup-
press" the campus press, and The Echo would
have been the forgotten voice of a tranquil
era when C.L.C. slept under the blankets of
lethargy and was content with the iron hand
of paper priests turned administrators hold-
ing the covers on things. But, times change
and likewise people — the voice of Dylan rings
clear, "those not busy being born are busy
dying," and, my god, there's a lot of nearly
dead around here. We don't cry "blood,
blood," but it's true — we do need new leader-
ship holding the reins and determining the
direction of the C.L.C. administration, if it
is to exist as a viable and 'worthy insti-
tution. To whom? To the Blacks and Chi-
canos who are tentatively comtemplating a'
mass exodus next year if things don't change
in the administration. TotheA.S.B. members
who see student government as a sham to add
legitimacy to a unilateral decision-making
administration. To the Regents who huff and
puff with alleged authority and then condone
programs and policies pre-determined by the
white-biased father and Victorian champion
of student morality, the Dean of Students —
not always in the best interests of all those
passing through the hallowed halls of our
Christian College.
While I realize the legitimacy of a Lutheran
Vlllllllllllmilllll
College, I sometimes question the wisdom of
putting People in charge of C.L.C. direction
who are evangelists first, Ph.D's second, and
realists last. It seems sometimes as though
our Administration is still on a mission,
saving the damned souls of misguided stu-
dents by implying they should cloak them-
selves with moral armour to resist the choice
of staying out past 12:00 p.m., not falling
victim to irresponsibility as those do who
are "removed" to have embraced Bacchus,
and mixing the blessings of attendingC.L.C,
or cease "questionable" activities, activities
deemed arbitrarily so by our Illustrious
Dean and his holy rules.
But, sometimes I think it well that C.L.C.
has an Administrator guided by the unfailing
hand of a god. "Before you remove the mote
from your brother's eye, take first the log
from your own." Such joy to have clear*
eyed leaders, busy removing lumber from our
hazy-eyed, irresponsible student body, who,
at eighteen to twenty-six, still are incapable
of governing themselves and incapable of
determining direction for their own social
and educational progress here with the "fam.
ily" at C.L.C.
Ole Luke just wants to add that Christ
came among us with the lessons of love and
regard of each man as he is, not to threaten,
expell, coerce, censure, etc. What? Does our
College do that? No-o-o-o, not here.
Ill llllllilf II*
(if any). My plan basically is
as follows (subject to revision
by the ASB Senate),
1. A Committee made up of
two (2) students, two (2)
faculty, two (2) administra-
tors, two (2) non-students,
two (2) custodians, two (2)
"night guards," and two (2)
Ventura County Sheriff's
shall administer and organ-
ize this plan.
2. A large, sterile, fish bowl
shall be procurred from the
building fund for the North
Campus (on second thought,
maybe one could be donated
. . .). This bowl shall be
filled with capsules contain,
ing the days of the year.
3. With proper ceremony and
meaningless speeches, the
committee shall draw the
capsules in a random mat-
ter and number these dates
from one to 366.
4. Women whose birth dates
fall In the lower third of
this list will almost certain-
ly have hours and many will
also be forced to wear dress-
es to all classes and meals.
5. Those women whose numbers
fall in the middle third face
some uncertainty and their
status will depend on their
particular local dorm. Wo-
men In this group may have
hours depending on such
things as liberalization of
the situation at CLC, in-
crease of dorm raid activity,
or if the "Hour Hawks" gain
control of the Board of Re-
gents.
6. Women whose numbers fall
in the last third will almost
certainly have no hours.
These women may, of
course, volunteer to have
hours. Women in this group
need not report in at their
local dorm more often than
once a quarter. They may
plan their social life accord-
ingly.
The purpose of this plan is to
make hours more equitable than
they are under the present sys-
tem. I realize that any hours will
be unfair to some, but this is
necessary for the maintaining
of respect from other people
outside our community. We must
remember that our parents once
were subjected to hours also.

When we view the subject of college governance we see two factors
of college life before us: administration.faculty bloc and the students.
As we look back at CLC in the sixties, we see its growth and its
changes. We feel happy that the administration has allowed some
room for change. But now, in the first weeks of 1970, when our college
governance bodies are challenged, a heavy tension falls around us,
and we ask ourselves. Why?
We believe that students should be given a new "role" in governing
themselves. Let us not forget it is we that are being educated, it is we
that are the future in this world, and we should try to make our views
be explicitly known.
When it comes to college governance we know that the administra-
tion faction of our college has taken too hard a line in the past and we
feel it in the present also. There has been absolutely no meaningful
balance of opinion resulting in a meaningful balance of power. In order
for the college to function as a true college we feel that absolute power
in a single branch of the college government is not right. Even in
the government of the United States, a democracy, there is a careful
balance of power between judiciary, legislative, and executive branch,
es. Here at CLC, there is no such balance and it is quite sad.
We, the students, believe in definite community governance of our
college. Our student leaders favor this stand and this was indicated
in the January 14th morning meeting at the CUB. Now the adminis-
t ration should understand that what is needed is a progressive,
mature plan, necessary to insure the future happiness of CLC.
We also feel that there is a feeling in the administration faction
of this school that because CLC is a small private college, it is
"safe" from student unrest. The fact is that students here want a
say and, private school or not, positive actions must be taken by
democratic processes and respect must be given to everybody's
rights.
So we ask all the factions of the CLC community to look at their
roles in the governance of this college and what could be done to
improve the different roles.
We, the students, want community governance. We feel it is a fair
and democratic way to govern ourselves.
There are many rumors relating to students'
personal problems with the Dean of Students, Dr. Lyle
B. Gangsei, which the Senate would like to substantiate
in order to take effective action. Any action the
Senate takes will depend on your support. If you

"DEAN HECKERSON MEETS THE WOMEN
STUDENTS"
(Trumpet Fanfare)
Finally, after locking herself behind a
desk for a quiet first quarter, Dean Heck-
erson, alledged Dean of Women, made her
first public appearance to the CLC Co-eds.
This event took place on the evening of
Tues., Jan. 13, at Alpha Hall where she had
been invited to speak.
After giving a biographical sketch of her
educational and religious backgrounds, she
opened the floor to interogatives. Many ques-
tions were raised, but none were really ans-
wered. Allow me to sketch the evening's meet-
ing in order to illustrate what transpired.
"Do you feel In Loco Parentis exists here
at CLC?" (Student)
"Well, I think there were times it did exist
and I know there are those who feel it exists
today. . .etc." (Dean) But, she neveranswer-
ed the question until one student finally point
blank asked, "Then you do feel it exists
today?"
The next questions were about Women's
regulations. "What is your position on
hours?" To this the Dean answered that she
had stated her position in some sort of com-
mittee meeting, to which we remarked that
we weren't at that particular gathering. She
further stated her stand was In accordance
with the College Goverance Board. To me this
does not show her explicit position since this
board is not even in agreement within itself.
Sixty minutes of B.S. about hours followed.
The Dean was asked about the Counseling
program she had for the Women Students.
She then proceeded to tell us how Dr. Fel-
lows and Dr. Swenson offered counseling
services to the College and how the Dean of
Students sometimes works in this capacity.
When asked to describe how she felt she
was meeting the needs of the Women students
or how she felt she was fulfilling her role,
the Dean replied that she felt the distance
between the students and administration pre-
vented her from meeting the needs or ful-
filling her position. I can't sympathize with
this since I learned that the Dean had been
invited to such things as Women's Open
Houses to get acquainted with the girls, and
never once did the Dean extend herself and
accept the offers.
I wanted to share these happenings with you
because through them I am expressing my lack
of confidence in the Dean's Professional dut-
ies — nothing personal is meant. . .1 suppose
it isn't the Dean's fault — after all, who has
made her his puppet?
Respectfully submitted,
Liz Winter

Upon Beginning A New Decade
by Dennis Tobln
"The human, race is moving Into an era
which it can -hardly understand or master."
Barbara Ward Jackson, 1969
That era, of which Miss Jackson so pessi-
misticly speaks, has now begun. Its begin,
ning really had no finite conception, but ra-
ther it was conceived milleniums ago when
man descended or evolved and began his
nebulous reign on our Mother, the Earth.
That the human race is moving, and quite
rapidly one might add, is an irrefutable fact.
I choose, however, to be more optimistic
than Miss Jackson in my outlook, I question
not our ability to comprehend, but rather
our direction-df movement.
Direction vs an instanteous phenomenon
which may be manipulated by the application
of external stimuli. We do at present have
a direction, it is documented by; each breath
and drink we- take, each mile we drive, and
each freedom- Ave abuse, both by misuse and
by failure toluse them. We are at the thres-
hold of outer space and at the doorstep of
the inner space which is our body. We hold
the potentiality of understanding and possibly
co existing with these realms, I ask you, do
we not also hold the potentialty of doing the
same with outselves, collectively and indivi-
Hnallv. and with our world?"
.o
LU'
The direction has been set. As man looks
back from the moon, towards the Earth, he
can see where this direction has led him.
Man sees his only life carrier, this planet,
raped and scarred by the hardness of his
own ego and self approval. The virgin bears
the marks of war and pillage, of greed and
wastefulness, and of misunderstanding and
abuse. The abortion is occuring, can the
miscarriage be prevented?
Examination of a few examples will, I believe,
support my hypotheses tliat our direction is
wrong:
1) The recent public announcement tiiat all
major areas of habitation in the continental
United States have and are affected by some
form of air pollution. (The Flagstaff, Arizona,
area is the last of these areas, having been
polluted by its proximity to Southern Cali-
fornia.)
2) The disposal of nerve gas by the U.S.
Army off the Atlantic Shelf. This procedure
has been stopped, but that "poison already
sunk is virtually unrevoverable." (Modera-
tor, Nov. 1969)
3) The deaths of sixty people in the Meuse
River Valley of Belgium, during the 1930's,
is attributed to the distribution of industrial
waste into the atmosphere and a stagnant
air mass of cold fog.
4) Four hundred and five persons died of
"poisoned air" in New York City in 1963.
(Moderator Nov. 1969)
5) Projected population figures indicate
that:
I
a) One-fifth of the world's population is
now living in cities of 100,000 or more
b) in fifteen years, one-half the world's
population will be living in cities
c) in fifty-five years the world will be,
for all practical purposes, entirely ur-
banized.
d) fifteen billion people to be fed and
housed
e) the area between San Francisco and
San Diego will be entirely urbanized.
(Center Magazine, Lord Ritchie-Calder)
Dr. Stanley M. Greenfield, head of the
department of environmental sciences at
the Rand Corporation, states:
'The environmental must be considered
in its totality. We must not be lured by
demagoguery or public panic into treating
air pollution separately from water pollu-
tion, thermal pollution, land pollution, etc.
They are interlicking. Methods adopted to
change the balance in one problem may only
reverse the balance in another.
We must know where we are going with the
total environment before we attempt to in.
duce major changes in one area."
A monumentous task, but contrary to Miss
Jackson one I believe man is capable of realiz-
ing. What Miss Jackson sees as "the root of
the confusion. . .the furious and accelerating
pace of scientific and technological change
. . ."I see as one of our possible means of
escape. To convict change as being solely
responsible for our predicament, is, I believe
an over-simplification and a potentially harm-
ful one. We must see our attitudes, our
mores, and ourselves as being equally re-
sponsible.
How can this direction be changed, many
channels are open, they must, however, be
viewed as being mutually related. As stated
above, science and its applied technology is
one means. Ecological education of the pub-
lic is a second approach which must be
seriously taken. As over population continues
the world populace must be made aware of
the penalities involved. As air pollution in-
creases, industry must be educated to see
the consequences. The means are available
will we use them? What can we do as an
intellectual community, as individuals?
1) Primarily we must become involved.
We must educate ourselves into realizing
that a problem exists and that it is staring
us -and our children in the face. The world
is our's, we must cultivate and develop it.
2) We as a college community might
develop an ecological program possibly as
an interdisciplinary seminar.
3) I propose the allotment of college funds
to send qualified and actively Involved stu-
dents and faculty to ecologically concerned
lectures and conventions.
4) We, both as Individuals and as a college,
hold potentially influencing, economic power
which we could conceivably use to demon*
strate our disapproval of this situation.
5) We must possess an active belief that
concern coupled with involvement may pro*
duce change and that hope is an expression
of the future and a guiding direction for to-
day.
The future is forever, the possibilities
are limitless, our involvements and poten-
tials are bounded only by our imaginations,
directions are positive and negative, fleeing
entities, they are reversable.
6) The U.S.'s limited defoliation of Viet-
nam has already upset the biological balance
of that area.
7) The use of chlorinated hydrocarbon
pesticides, since World War II, has already
affected the populations of at least three
raptorial species of birds in the U.S. (Science,
Oct. 11, 1968, p. 271).
The evidence continued to build that our pre-
sent direction is wrong, but it is not ir re-
versable.
Ecology is "The mutual relations, collec-
tively, between organisms and their environ-
ment." We as organic elements miiuence
every aspect of our environment, i.e., this
planet and the totality of its components,
with each action or gesture we make.
No aspect of our being may be seen as
being separate and distinct, each must Lie
seen as it collectively reacts with oui sur-
rounding. War must be seen as having as
much ecological sufficience as air pollution,
racism must be viewed as part of the eco-
system on a equal footing with water pollu-
tion. No component is autonomous, self-
supporting.

Open Letter to the College Students of America
Plans are now well underway for a nationwide Teach-in next
spring, Wednesday, April 22, on the grave crisis lacing the qua-
lity of the environment and the quality of life in America today.
A national headquarters and staff to organize, coordinate, and
service this effort is now established in Washington. The ad-
dress is Room 600, 2100 M Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.
20037.
The aim of the National Teach-in is to encourage students
across the country to take the initiative in organizing April 22
environmental teach-ins on their campuses, and associated
efforts in their communities.
Successful teach-ins on all campuses on the same day will
have a dramatic impact on the environmental conscience of the
the nation. They will be immensely effective as an educational
effort in arousing public opinion concerning necessary steps to
protect our environment and establish quality on a par witti quan-
tity as a goal of American life.
There is no question that in the long run, the environmental
challenge is the greatest faced by mankind. Distinguished scien-
tific authorities have been warning for years that mankind is
rapidly destroying the very habitat on which he depends for his
survival.
In addition, population continues to increase worldwide —
while scientists warn that we may have already passed sustain-
able population levels. All across the country, and worldwide,
increasing numbers of citizens are voicing the same intense con-
cern as has been so eloquently expressed by the ecologists and
other environmentalists.
Yet, many are still not aware of the environmental problems
being created by our advancing technology. Federally-financed
projects— such as the supersonic transport plane— raise grave
questions about possible new environmental dangers. Many res-
pected scientists and national leaders have indicated that although
some positive steps have been taken, toxic, persistent pesticides
are still accumulating in the world environment, wreaking destruc-
tion on fish and wildlife— and threatening man himself. Is the
price we pay for these products in terms of their effect upon our
environment worth the benefits we obtain from them
The pollution of our rivers ami lakes, and of the air in our
urban areas continues to accelerate. Suburban sprawl con-
tinues to destroy vast scenic and recreational resources, with little
heed being given to plans to create workable environments. And
the millions trapped in our urban and rural ghettos continue to
suffer the worst of the massive air, water, land and noise pol-
lution.
Who will finally bear the brunt of this tragic irresponsibility?
The new generation now in school, the generation which will soon
inherit the world environment. The time lias come for all citi-
zens to begin thinking about the basic questions raised by tech-
nological advances and environmental degradation.
Students in America and the world, who are deeply concerned
with the hard choices which their generation faces, are uniquely
well suited to take initiatives in exploring with all citizens the
m
problems created by man's growing impact upon his environ-
ment.
We believe the National Teach-in next April 22mi i rovldes
students the opportunity to accomplish this objective. Hu
dreds of teach-ins on that day would bring togd first
time on a national scale the many young people who a
concerned about the environment, and would involve ai ate
many more as well.
In addition to bringing this widespread involvement,
ins would present information, draw the issues, stimui ins
for action, and demonstrate the strength of concern for a livable
world.
Furthermore, the environmental teach-ins present ai un|
cedented opportunity for the involvement by student initiative of
communities, organizations, leaders, and concerned citizens of
all generations in a common, nonpartisan effort to nu
of far-reaching consequence.
Thus, we are writing this letter to urge that all campuses In
America participate in a broad-based, student-led teach-in effort)
involving all individuals and groups who share 11 rn.
Already, the student response to this idea lias been one of o
the process of planning April 22nd teach-ins.
At the University of Michigan, a mass meeting wa
cently by an ad hoc student committee to plan a teach- ire
than 350 people showed up, and the plan is now well I
University officials and faculty were also contacted by tin nts
for their support and advice, a step which we believe is I ant
for successful teach-ins.
One of the projects now being planned preparatn di-
versity of Michigan event is a comprehensive Inventory* 'in-
mental problems in that community and region.
Similar inventories for other teach-ins around ti
would be educational and practical and would provide the t<- h-
ins themselves with specific examples of local environ
blems needing immediate attention
The University of Michigan students have sent us a n-
dum on how they have developed their plan. We enclo ipy
of the memorandum for the consideration of other
they develop their own plans for their April 22nd Teach-in
We look forward to the April 22ud event and asi on
and leadership. We are convinced that, if young pe ill
energy, imagination and idealism to work on this issue, thej will
help write a bright new chapter in the struggle foi a
world.
If you want more information, or if we can be of assistance,
please contact the National Teach-in office: Environmental Teacl
In, Inc., Room 600, 2100 M Street, N. W., Washington, D, I

Last week saw the Kingsmen win one,
almost win another, and lose one. Such is
the life of a Kingsmen basketballer. The
young and hustling team lost on Tuesday
night to a hot shooting Uestmont team,
106 to 72. On Friday night the baH club-
opened its home season by beating Biola,
79 to 69. Saturday night they scared the
life out of high riding Pasadena only to lose
75 to 69.
The Westmont game saw the Kingsmen
shooting a paltry 24 per cent in the first
half, and never recovering from a 49 to
24 half time deficit. One bright spot in the
defeat was the balanced scoring and team
work shown by the struggling Kingsmen.
Tim Iverson led the team along with Ed
Stllllan with 12 pts., while Don Hossler
followed close behind with 11 pts., Carl
Meeks added 8, Roger Collum 7, Rich Gerd.

in the first half and forced numerous turn.

ways the team ran their way to a 36 to 30
half time advantage. The early part of the
game was close as both teams traded bas.

to lose their lead, despite several runs
made by Biola to overtake them. In the
second half the fired. up Kingsmen, led by
the outstanding shooting of Tim Iverson,
who shot 11 for 16 for the game from the
floor, led by as much as 14 pts., and fmally

with 24 pts., he was followed by Wayne
Erlckson with 12 pts., Chris Eckers and
Rich Gerding with 8 pts., and Meeks and
Tobin with 7 pts.
Pasadena invaded the Kingsmen gym on
Saturday and were greeted by the teams best
effort of the season. Using a tough zone

Pasadena turnovers. The men from Cal Lu

play in the first half. They Increased this
to a 40 to 27 half time lead. The second half
saw the Crusaders from Pasadena chipping
away at the lead. Using a harrassing full
court press Pasadena caught the Kingsmen at
the 4:33 mark, 63 to 62. Pasadena forged
ahead 64 to 63 with two free throws by Larry
Lawton, and from there the two teams traded
baskets, but Pasadena iced the game away in

defense.
The frosh dropped three games this week.
They lost to Westmont, Biola, and Pasadena.
One bright spot was the play of Pat Daley,
who scored 35 pts., on Friday and 24 pts.,
on Saturday. Also the play of footballer Sam
Cvijanovich, who just came out for the team
this week, was highly encouraging. The frosh
record now stands at 2 wins and 6 losses.
With their record now at 3 wins and 9
losses, the Kingsmen hope to improve their
record against Claremont Mudd and Azusa
Pacific College. The Kingsmen have to be
encouraged by their performance this past
weekend, and in this writers opinion played
perhaps one of the best games since 1966
when they won 14 and lost 15. Stay behind
them, they are going to surprise a lot of
people before the season is over.

The matmen won their second match of the year with a 31-15

The match started with Kamura of Valley State pinning Mc

The basketball team played their first
home game of the season, and showed that
they have a very great potential. They
have the capability of having a winning sea-
son. It is up to the students of CLC to In-
sure the success of their basketball team.
There are tv*> ways to guarantee that the
"Year of the Warrior" applies to basketball:
1. Come to all the home games. Don't
let anything stop you— classes, tests,
lectures, etc.
2. Come to as many of the away games as
you can make. Demand that the pep club
set up transportation to the games.
Through these means we will see
Kingsmen Basketball to its highest zenith
in the history of Cal Lu.

HOURS
A STATEMENT ON WOMEN'S HOURS
TO: A SPECIAL CONVOCATION OF
THE CLC COMMUNITY
RYr PRESIDENT RAYMOND M.
OLSON
DATE: JANUARY 9, 1970
Although I was originally scheduled to speak at a CLC chapel
service today, in view of some events of these last days and the
encouragement of some of my administrative and faculty colleagues,
I have chosen to place before you some information and points of
view about CLC policy regarding women's hours in CLC owned and
controlled housing. It seems worth the effort to bring some further
attention to a vexing problem on this campus. Over and over we say
to each other that we ought to be a genuine community of people who
will work at achieving a good life together.
All students had a memorandum from the President mailed to their
homes on December 11th which stated the college policy on hours
for women which would apply at the start of the second quarter.
"There appears to be precedent and rationale to authorize
junior and senior women to live in CLC housing under self,
determining hours. This will be college policy for such women,
subject to explicit requests from parents or guardians of
women under 21 years of age, that they shall be subject to
limitation of hours. Each junior and senior woman is hereby
requests to clarify this matter for herself. The college will
assume that she will have self-determining hours unless we
are otherwise advised. Such self-determination of hours will
need to be worked out within the necessities of security of
our dormitories and consideration of other residents.
"The dormitory hours for CLC housing which were in effect
on September 25th will be In effect for all freshmen and
sophomore women at the start of the second quarter. This
action is taken upon the understanding that the College Com-
mlttee on Student Conduct will immediately address itself
to the further issues involved in dormitory hours at CLC.
The results of such due process may result in other modifi-
cations in present policy."
Ail students were later supplied ■■ < '■ -niorandum from De..
Lyle B. Gangsel and Dean Arllne Heckerson, setting forth further
details about the manner in which the policy would be administered,
so that lull information might be available to all concerned.
On January 7th, Philip Reltan, ASB President, and David Lewis,
ASB Vice President, distributed a letter In which they reintro-
duced the issue of women's hours after the decision reported in
my December 11th memo. On January 7th also, the Student Senate
approved a resolution which further addressed itself to the matter
of women's hours.
On January 8th notices were posted on campus telling of plans to
have students meet in this building at midnight to express an un-
cooperative attitude toward college policy in women's hours. It
is my understanding that such a gathering did not take place last
night.
Also last night tnere was a regularly scheduled meeting of the Ad
Hoc Commission on College Governance, of wulch I will say a little
more later.
It Is possible that some students (hot all I'm sure) find themselves
somewhat mystified by all the stirring that Is taking place about
this issue of women's hours at CLC, even some of those who were
persuaded to sign the petition which was presented to the Student
Senate Wednesday evening. It seems absolutely essential for the
President to make some things clear:
faculty, students and administrators, was unable to operate last
fall or during the first quarter. This came about because the
ASB President deliberately refused to appoint student members
to that committee and blocked the attempts to have them appointed.
He stated this in plain term as a deliberate attitude, in a meeting
of the Ad Hoc Commission.
It was in this setting that the Ad Hoc Commission on College
Governance came into being. Administrators, students and faculty
came together to seek solutions wulch could be recommended
to the responsible declslon-makers for consideration. As the
weeks moved along it became apparent that we would be a long
way from completing our work by the end of the quarter. It also
became apparent that the continued suspension of hours Into a
new quarter would be an untenable position for the administration
in its relation to parents, to the constituents generally, to the
campus community and to the reasonably disciplined life which
needs to exist at a residential college, such as CLC. The President
reported this to the Ad Hoc Commission which counseled further
suspension. He then reported this to the Executive Committee
of the Board of Regents which counseled the termination of the
suspension period. The Ad Hoc Commission, when it met on De.
cember 11th, worked over various solutions and arrived at a
compromise position which was then stated by the President in
his memorandum of that date, with two negative votes cast by the
ASB President and Vice President.
<y>
1. The student body should know that the administration has stated
from the beginning of this controversy that Initiative 1 was an in -
valid action. The housing policies, including the matter of hours,
are spelled out plainly in the Student Handbook as college hours.
They are established under authority and responsibility given to
the administration by the Board of Regents. There are established
processes by which they may be reviewed and possibly amended.
The Initiative 1 was based solely on the ASB Constitution which
is subordinate to the college constitution and subordinate to the
authority and obligation vested in the President. It was a major
misinterpretation of the ASB Constitution which was placed before
this student body last October. It was misleading to you to indicate
that you could, by your vote, take over jurisdiction and the deter-
mination of women's nours.
2. The President, without wavering in the basic constitutional facts,
was aware tliat the Initiative 1 had been approved in this cloudy
situation because of the presentations and interpretations wulch
had been made. This was not to charge that this was a deliberate
handling of t.ie matter, but the effect was this. It therefore
seemed desirable to seek some moderating climate in which
that question of hours and the more significant question of gov.
ernance, of "who is in charge," could be examined. It was the
assumption of nearly everyone that some changes in both areas
... .of hours and governance, where In order and should be
brought about. It was In an effort to contribute to such a climate
that the suspension of hours was announced In early November.
It should be noted that the whole issue of women's hours needed
to be referred to some group such as the Ad Hoc Commission,
since the College Committee on Student Conduct, composed of
4. With this history behind us it must now be stated that the latest
action of the ASB Senate on the question of women's hours Is
just as lacking in validity as Initiative 1 last October. The col-
lege policy in effect today, and which is continuing in effect until
and unless changed In due process, is that contained In my Decem-
ber 11th memo and the elaboration of the personnel deans. The
unilateral action of your ASB Senate has no standing. I am sorry
to have to say this, but it is fact.
5. With this college policy on hours in effect, as revised on Decern-
ber 11th, there are potential disciplinary actions in effect for In-
fractions. The Identification of such persons is part of previous
and present policy. With the added problem of security for all
residents of women's housing, guards have been requested to
check I.D. cards to assure legitimate entry.
With the unilateral action of the ASB Senate and the efforts of
some students to stir up deliberate disruption last night we all
need to recognize that the issues have shifted from the simple
problem of a particular person who stayed out late to a matter
of possible deliberate disuption of the dormitories.
In this connection, as a matter of simple awareness, it may be
appropriate to note my letter of last spring, reproduced in part
in your current Pioneer Handbook, page 26, wulch Indicates
the disciplinary possibilities.
"2. That CLC can also be expected to apply such sanctions and
discipline where student conduct interferes with its subsi-
diary responsibility to protect the health and safety of per-
sons, to maintain and protect property, to keep records, to
provide living accommodations and other services under its
established terms, and to sponsor non-classroom activities
such as lectures, chapel, concerts, athletic events and social
functions. "
"3. That wnlle CLC knows that suspension and dismissal are
generally recognized to be severe and unusual sanctions,
It also recognizes that there are times when they are justi-
fied. When a student engages in behavior that raises grave
doubts' as to his fitness to remain a member of the academic
community as it understands and describes itself, that stu-
dent may be denied a continuing place at CLC."
6. Where does this leave the situation? The consideration of these
present college policies for possible further adjustment isrecelv-
ing the attention of the College Committee on Student Conduct,
to which ASB President Reitan has now appointed student mem-
bers. This was the Ad Hoc Commission recommendation. Their
work has been thrown into some consternation by the ASB Senate
resolution and the subsequent student activity, but it appears they
will continue their work. If they are able to continue, no doubt
they will have recommendations before long.
Further, the Ad Hoc Commission on College Governance, at its
meeting last night spent the entire evening asking Itself whether
there was reason to continue its work in the face of the ASB Sen-
ate action. Members of the faculty introduced a resolution wulch
called for a recess of the Commission's work to see if there is
actually a readiness to work as a community group toward some
viable recommendations for change. This was amended to some
degree, by setting a date for a next meeting. In the meantime
three members will evaluate the situation and report back to the
next scheduled meeting.
7. Now, some closing observations. The administration and faculty
are seeking to give you stability in your educational pursuits
at this residential college. W'e are seeking to fulfill what you
were told and promised when you came here.
The interim community action of last December 11th was a good
omen, but there was much more to be resolved. We are now waiting
to see what Is possible.
For all of you I call on you to approach your place in the life of
this college, with your obligations to all the other members of it,
on the basis of reason andopennesstoeach other, not on the basis
of politics or power. In the end these devices can only be self,
defeating.
It Is Important that you look at something else. Do not confuse
the administration's commitment to the search for community
decision with the present obligations which rest on the President
and his administrative associates. The administration of the
college cannot and will not come to a grinding halt until changes
are made. Life will go on - and can go on with a relaxed and con-
fldent spirit, believing that we can order our life together for the
benefit of all who are disposed to seek that as a way of life at
CLC.
We love you. Just don't make foolish mistakes. Be sure you get
full Information about issues which arise in our common life
together. We trust you will have a good and happy quarterl

Jesus
And The
Twentieth
Centurv
E.C.'s Jesus and the Twentieth Century had its
second session Wednesday, January 21, where under
the dual chairmenship of Dr. Kuethe and Dr. Cain,
the discussion took up some relevant Christian issues
in roundtable fashion (sitting in a circle, dialogue is
promoted).
Four an hour and a half the problem of how the
Black Panther's concern Christianity was tossed
around. An article by Harvey Cox was read to initiate
dialogue which was taken up in stimulated fashion by
the class. Many aspects were hit all the way from
Jesus the Zealot? to the psychological manifestations
the Panther's scare tactics bring out in America's
WASPS.
Throughout the myriad ideas Christianity was never
abandoned; it was placed central in order to glimpse
its relevency and its deficiencies within the context
of today.
This session seemed to set the general floorplan
for future sessions, yet, the class is loosely structur-
ed and can rap where it wills.
Dr. Kuethe, Dr. Cain, and Dr. Kretzmann, who
comes as much as his busy schedule allows, join
with the class In tossing out ideas as well as partici-
pating in the discussions.
With this trio of pooled scholarship and class in-
terest and questioning, this E.C. Happening promises
to be just that — an event worth spending the time
getting involved.

T.O.P.D.'s Crack Forces Outdrawn
By C.I.A. In Dope Bust
Wednesday, January 28, 1970, twelve CLC students
were found in a rented apartment by the FBI. Several
of the students were engaging in immoral sexual acts,
such as kissing and hugging each other In the dimly
lit apartment. Others were engaging in premarital
lnterdlgltation. The alleged cause of these acts
was reported by Detective Hermann Goerring of the
Fifth Reichstag Battalion of the FBI. "When we broke
inta da place, dey was all sittin around smokln LSD.
We told em they was under arrest, den we told em
what for, and several confessed immediately to
(an dis is a direct quote. I ain't too up on the lingo)
dropping hash, sliooting pot, an using mescaline sup-
positories."
When our students mentioned "pot," the well-
known killer drug, marijuana 0cnown to cause insan-
ity, hard drug use, and headaches during periods),
several of the officers felt it necessary to fire three
rounds of warning shots into the groin of one parti-
cularly dark student. He had been seen by the offi-
cers only the previous day, fleeing across Moorpark
Road on the "Wait" signal and, following this obviously
hardened criminal, who had flagrantly violated the
pubic conscience, they were led to a well known hang-
out for the long-hair types of our bustling little mega-
polis of Thousand Oaks. The officer who made the
discovery, placing integrity over his immediate urge
to "kill all them damn commies", called for the entire
Ventura County Sherrlffs Department, which showed
up immediately with several crack FBI agents, not-
ably, Detectives Goerring, Fury, and Jockstrapp, and
Captain America. The FBI, after realizing the gravity
of the situation proceeded to call In the CIA, but we
aren't supposed to know about that, since any know-
ledge of CIA activities would jeopardize the very core
of our American life today — FREEDOM!
The combined forces argues for a mere 5V2 hours
before deciding who would get to take the criminals
to jail in their car. The CIA solved this minor pro-
blem by killing the entire Ventura county Sheriffs
Department, perhaps their single sane act since their
inception.
After driving the communists to Atascadero In-
stitute for the Criminally Insane, the CIA agents
castrated eight of the twelve because they "didn't want
them fagots breeding more of their kind."
They were confused by the remaining four prisoners
for several hours while trying to castrate these four.
Only after a great deal of time had passed did they
realize that these were girls. It took them several
days in the Institute's library before they learned
that women "lacked testicularity." It took them ano-
ther day to find this word in the dictionary. Here is
a typical quote from that day of hard line detective
work. "Does 'T» come after «V or 'C»?»» These
cute quips reflect the diligence with which our police
forces are protecting the rites of every Middle A meri-
can to be protected from anything which might upset
his nonexistence in the world, especially these long-
haired, effete, psuedo-intellectual, plll.poppln, mari-
juana snarfin, hash hording, speed freakin, dope
crazed, sex manical, fascist, communist, red, wel-
fare waftln, pimps.
At last, with these criminals safe in the looney
farm, where they and every other student In Call-
fornia belong, America will be safe from the red
peril which was fast upon us. And at last, Callfor-
nla will be safe from education. Yes folks we're
finally free! God bless King Richard, the Chicken.
Hearted!

LIFE'S A 'CHANGIN
Life, it is a'changin, and the governmental
bodies on this campus are not to be exempt.
Two versions of suggested future college
governmental structures were printed last
week in "Regent's Rag." These documents
perhaps seemed to some to be idle and ideal-
istic dreams; however, the need for adoption
of one or the other is becoming increasingly
a definite necessity. Student government can*
not continue to operate in a "no man's land"
with tokenistic Jurisdiction given by the ad.
ministration and with a necessary elitism
engendered by a student body which now con-
demns it. In relating this problem to the first
proposal of autonomy (even though I feel
strongly the need for ASB autonomy) I feel
that it is infeasible on this campus with
the present image of student government that
the administrators of this college have. I
don't feel that it could truly be achieved
short of a court injunction. The second proi
posal I assert, is the only solution other than
to continue floundering in the present muck.
The whole syndrome ignited by the polls
and signs concerning the Dean of Students
is a perfect example of the present problem.
The cause precipitating the request for inf or.
mation was a resolution considered by the
Senate, which called for a vote of no confl-
dence in the Dean. Senate had a list of certain
cases in which it was felt that the Dean had
applied his personal moral beliefs via school
punitive measures to people who had reveal,
ed private information in confidential confer,
ences. The Senate also had documented cases
in Senate records in which the Dean had trans,
gressed the jurisdiction of his office, ignored
Senate action and the "rights" of ASB gov.
ernment in general. The Senate felt that
because of the seriousness of the charge of
misuse of the Dean's office in counseling, It
would wait until documented cases could be
presented before any final action would be
taken. The subsequent action by a volunteer
committee was misinterpreted as a smear
campaign when ironically It was meant to
prevent just that. The lack of communica.
tlon and information on the part of the stu.
dent body was definitely a cause and has
been an issue whenever the student body as
a whole charges ASB government with eli.
tism, etc. However, two facts are quite In.
teresting— the Senate meeting In which this

Dear Editor:
When I first read Eloise
Olson's letter in the last issue
of the paper I thought, from
the tone of the letter, that the
author was very proficient and
informed in the area of student
government in general and the
ASB Senate in particular. As the
present Senate clerk, I hold the
minutes of the Senate meetings
from March of 1968 until the
present. I have also attended
every meeting since January,
1969, and Eloise Olson has not
been in attendance at a solitary
meeting since then; nor does her
name appear on the minutes for
the previous two quarters. I would
like to know how one can criti.
clze a body without having seen
it in operation. If her experi.
ence comes from attendance at
meetings before March of 1968,
she has no right to compare
the proceedings of the first two
quarters of the Senate's existence
to the meetings now.
If the Senate has become a
dictating body with few leaders
who do not represent the major-
lty of the students, then that Is
the fault of the students them-
selves. It is at class meetings
that the students' feelings should
be expressed to the Senators.
When attendance at class meet,
ings is limited to the officers,
as has been the case in the
past, they have no choice but to
express their own feelings. If
class members are not in agree-
ment with their representatives,
they should express their opin.
ions to their Senators.
Senate meetings are, and al-
ways have been, open to any per-
son who would like to attend.
In the past, if any person who
is not a Senator wants the right
to speak on any issue, the rules
have been suspended. It is not
the policy or the practice of
the Senate to limit the compe-
tition of ideas or free speech.
All persons at past meetings
who have expressed a desire to
speak have been heard.
The question of whether it' Is
more important for the Senate
to discuss a faculty evaluation
program, which has already been
approved and is functioning, or
the rights and freedoms of a
student is merely a value judg-
ment. It is simply a difference
of opinions whether it is better
to work for long-term or short-
term achievements.
The fact that student leaders
have a responsibility to the stu-
dents is true, but in turn the
students must make their own
wishes known to their leaders.
Personal attacks on the ASB
officers will achieve nothing but
to close what lines of communi-
cation are now open.

Dear Editor:
Lately it seems the problems
of the governance of this college
which have lain dormant for so
long have come to light and every-
one is getting upset. Unfortun-
ately, battlelines are being drawn
by both the students and the ad-
ministration, and progress is
being made by neither.
The latest disturbance was cau-
sed by the Senate committee
designated to reveal student grie-
vances concerning DeanGangsel.
Due to misinformation (or no
information at all), some students
have come to believe that the
Senate is attempting to remove
Dean Gangsei from his office.
This is not the case. The com-
mittee is an attempt to find out
whether or not there is cause
for ill-feeling toward Dean Gang,
sei and if there is, why. Both
the administration and the stu-
dents have kept things to them-
selves and relied on rumors as
part of their source of infor-
mation. Perhaps if a list of grie-
vances is compiled and present-
ed, many of the feelings will
be aired and solutions will be
found. We are not asking Dean
Gangsei to defend his actions,
but rather to explain them. Per-
haps we have been wrong in
making our judgments. But on
the other hand, if Dean Gangsei
nas oeen wrong, perhaps rectifi-
cation will follow. This is our
goal.
Concerning the charge that stu-
dent government is being run by
a few, I agree. This always seems
to be the case. There are always
a few students (although not only
the elected representatives by
any means) who are really con-
cerned and are working for the
good of the school. The others
just sit back and criticize. You
elected your leaders, why don't
you let them know how you feel
personally? It is impossible for
us to speak to each person on
this campus. If you are truly
concerned, you'll make your feel-
ings known — hopefully without
making personal attacks on the
integrity of your leaders. The
reason student government is
run by a few is that no one
else "has time." We are doing
what we feel is right, but we're

Decisions! Decisions!
One of them should be a buying decision
As a college student, you learn to make
decisions. One of the most important
should concern life insurance . . . from
Aid Association for Lutherans. AAL is
a fraternalife insurance society for
Lutherans . . . and that's a big ad-
vantage to the Lutheran student.
When it comes to life insurance.
Lutheran college students get a bar-
gain. That's because of age and good
health, and because AAL's rates are
low to begin with.
Another reason . . . Lutheran stu-
dents can have certain guaranteed
purchase options that assure them of
being able to buy additional insur-
ance later on regardless of health.
AAL representatives (who are Luth-
eran) serve all 50 states and five prov-
inces of Canada . . . we're the largest
fraternal life insurance society in
America.
Take time to talk to an AAL repre-
sentative soon. Let him show you the
advantages of starting a life insurance
plan at your present age. And have him
show you how dollars saved wijh AAL
do double-duty . . .. provide protec-
tion for you while helping support
Lutheran benevolent causes. Aid Asso-
ciation for Lutherans, where there's
common concern for human worth.

CHAPEL REPORT
On Tuesday, January 19, Dr. RalphMoller.
ing spoke on "Christian Integrity and the .
Vietnam Debacle." He went into all of the
reasons given for continuing to stay in Viet-
nam. He pointed out all of the weaknesses
for the reasons given to stay, and that the
only real Christian thing to do is to leave
and let the Vietnamese resolve their differ,
ences.
On Thursday Pastor David Simonson, ALC
Missionary to Tanzania, spoke on Missionary
work in Africa. He spoke of the failures of past
missionary actions, and howmuchitisneces.
sary for more people to join in the effort now
in order to make efforts today a success.
On Friday Dr. H.H. Brokins spoke on the
subject of the attitudes of Christians toward
other people and the need to break down bar-
riers between people in order to be effective
Christians.
On Monday and Tuesday the Chapel session
was devoted' to the subject of "Christian
Education." Dean Edmund spoke on Monday,
and in the interest of Christian Education,
he remained totally ambiguous. Marvin Cain,
on the other hand, came through on Tuesday.
He pointed out that there are many neces-
sary subjects in education that don't have to
be taught in Christian light. He also made it
clear that God speaks to each of us in a dif-
ferent way, Church dogma then is not a part
of Christian education. Our relationships to
Christ are subjective. Each of us must ap-
proach Christianity from this standpoint.

The Brother Antoninus poetry reading last
Wednesday night at UCSB turned out to be
more of an encounter or oneway sensitivity
session than anything else. The 57-year-old
poet, who gained a wide reputation as a poet
of the "beat" generation of the 1950s, read
only four poems (a series of erotic monolo-
gues between Pluto and Persephone.) He was
clearly more interested in relating to the
audience the "identity crisis" he has been
going through as a result of his having re-
cently left the Dominican order to marry
22-year-old Susanna Rickson. His poetryonly
took up about ten minutes of the one-hour per-
formance.
But while the audience didn't get a chance
to hear much of his poetry, the event did af-
ford a unique opportunity to get at the man
behind the poetry. Brother Antoninus, now
William Everson, brings to his poetry a fierce
religious zeal which makes his struggles with
language symbolic of his spiritual wrestlings.
Many of his poems are of the famous Dark
Night of the Soul. A confessional poet, Brother
Antoninus uses the traditional figures of the
mystical search: the tortured dialogue, the
fearful rebirth, the ever-dangerous journey.
Robert Duncan has said of his poetry: "A
rhetoric that engages the reader in an active
physical pleasure of alliterations and vowel
shapings, sensual Indulgences in the instru-
mentality of voicing, along with the pleasure
to the ear of fine music. But for the engaged
reader of Everson-Brother Antoninus, the
shaping of the poet and the person is the real
thing. For these poems are the projection
of a soul in trial." It was this "soul in trial"
that last Wednesday's audience had the oppor-
tunity to become acquainted with.

Matmen
Win Third
The Kingsmen squeaked out a
21-19 win over Redlands Saturday
the 24th, bringing their season
total to 3-4-1. Sophomore Jeff
Quentmeyer recorded his first
win of the season with a pin
in the second period. Rubalacava
also scored a pin at 126 pounds,
followed by an 11-9 Dec. by Mike
Haynes. Tim Pinkney lost a close
6-4 Dec, but a 5-1 win by Ken
Wright and a 44 second pin by
Ted Lazaga kept the Kingsmen
well ahead, 21-8. Redlands came
on strong in the heavy weights
and picked up two decisions and
one pin. The drive was not enough
as the Matmen won by 2 points.
The same was not true earlier
in the week, as UCSB dominated
the mat with a 35-11 win over
the CLC men. The only scores
recorded by the Kingsmen were
a forfeit at 142 pounds with
Pinkney winning, and a decision
by Ken Wright and Ted Lazaga.
The Kingsmen suffered their
worst loss as'captain Chuck La-
gamma was taken from the gym
with a shoulder dislocation. La-
gamma is the defending NAIA
champion and has represented
CLC at the nationals for 3 years.
The wrestlers have thus far lost
Dalton Sowers, Rich Kelly, Ad-
rian Lee and Chuck Lagamma,
all to injuries.

DON'T TREAD ON ME
Dear Rob Anderson: Open
mouth, insert foot.
The addressee above attended
the Senate meeting of Jan. 28,
remained an impartial (?) ob-
server, and subsequently print-
ed a very partial and erroneous
letter. Personal opinions such as
this letter are allowed to be
dittoed off and distributed to
students ( excluding women's
hours, of course.) However, when
certain biases based on er-
roneous information are express-
ed and used to influence peo-
pie in a very important and
decisive situation, i.e., a Presi-
dential recall election, an urgent
need for clarification is called
for. Time and space will not
permit an examination of every
item that I feel is contrary
to fact or clearly presents an
opinionated interpretation, but
will concern myself only with
those most blatant.
"This (College Committee on
Student Conduct) like other col-
lege committees was set up in
a compromise move last year."
May I clarify - The ASB gov-
ernment and the faculty approv-
ed their participation in college
committees according to the
terms outlined in a proposal
drawn up by the Committee on
Faculty-Student Relations, which
is a faculty committee with stu-
dent representation. The ASB
Senate approved this proposal
on Feb. 2, 1969 and the fac-
ulty on Jan 15, 1969. No com-
promise' was Involved; it was
simply a legislative matter.
'It seems that Phil Reitan
didn't like the idea of 'outsi-
der representation' on the stu-
dent conduct committee and there
fore didn't appoint anyone to it
in the fall." The ASB entered
into all college committees with
the understanding as stated in
the Senate on Jan. 27, 1969
that it "should review all pro-
posals of committee structure
before final drafts are made."
The College Committee on Stu-
dent Committee presented their
policy statement to the ASB Se-
nate, which rejected it for se-
veral reasons, but primarily be-
cause it stated that any deci-
sions would be sent to the Pres-
ident of the College for appro-
val. This was directly in oppo-
sition to the student and faculty
policy which states that : "De-
cisions of these committees re-
quire ratifications of the faculty
and the ASB Senate to be put
into effect." The Senate did not
approve the draft of the College
Committee on Student Conduct
on Jan. 27, 1969 and commun-
icated this to Dean Gangsei in
a memo sent on Jan. 28, 1969.
I quote the memo: "Because
of the lack of consultation be-
fore a final draft was made and
due to the weaknesses, the Se-
nate will not participate in or
recognize the College Committee
on Student Conduct until the Sug-
gested revisions are made and
approved." Please notice, tins
was all Senate action. Phil Rei-
tan at that time was not the
ASB President, but a junior
class senator.
"The topic of hours was
brought to them and when Phil
found out that they were meet-
ing, he had Senate dlsbandon the
Committee." To unravel the
thinking in this, may I first
point out that the word "aban-
doned" is misused because we
never officially recognized the
committee. The committee had
been meeting without the Senate's
or Phil's knowledge and as Linda
Lewis had stated, the student
members did not realize that
the committee was meeting ex-
tralegally in various ways. Not
only was the policy unapproved,
but the student members were
never approved by the ASB Se-
nate as stipulated in Bill No.7
of last year for all college com-
mittees. Also with the word
"Phil", it would be more cor-
rect to say "Senate." Action
on this was handled specifically
by Senate Rules Committee via
Resolution No. 13 and by my-
self through Senate Bill No. 6.
Another opinion was also ex-
pressed concerning Senate action
in giving Phil Reitan a vote of
confidence. Anderson asked in
his letter, "Why didn't the Se-
nate wait for the cases to be
presented, like with Dean Gang-
sei, before it passed judgement."
Again a matter of semantics
has given a slanted opinion. In
voting for a resolution no one is
"passing judgment";a resolution
is only an opinion, a general
feeling on a certain issue. In
no way could any Senate action
post-pone or reject a student
petition. Its status was not chang-
ed in the least. We, who voted
for the confidence vote, had work,
ed with Phil and many had talked
to him individually as well as
to the students petitioning for a
recall. We had a discussion in
which those students present
were asked several times to
explain their rationale, but they
did not wish to do so at that
time. Perhaps the confusion ex-
pressed in this letter would not
have happened if It had been
more clearly expressed as a re.
solution stating the feelings of
the Senate for another ASB of-
ficial; not a resolution to another
governing body of the college,
i.e., the administration, in which
case we would be acting as re-
presentatives of the students.
This was an internal case and
as such changes the meaning of
our action.
Misunderstanding and emo-
tional opinions are easy to arrive
at and to hold. I realize that
I am as susceptible as anyone,
but I have tried to base my
statements on legislative docu-
meats and experience as a Se-
nator. Particularly when con.
sidering an important matter,
everyone must be doubly cau-
tious to view the issue as based
on facts, and intelligent reasons,
not past ill feelings. We must
employ discussion and rational
thought, not rumor-rapping.

Man is like a constant maze. Swirling
Around in the many wonders of his thought.
Creating illusions, and becoming intrigued
with these illusions he has established in
his mind.
Waiting, watching, and wondering!!! Wait-
ing for something to do, that will give him
the equivlance of a satisfied, and insur-
mountable mind. Watching the time roll
away as you drift off into the thoughts
that surround you every day. Then wonder-
ing why you didn't do anything, or why
your still where your at when you start
the day. Therefore creating in your mind
the structure of changes, which are some-
times classified as "Mans Moods." Feeling
gay at certain points of the day, then some-
one or something changes your mood to
a depressed or sadness type of stage. Then
coming up is the roughest and hardest moods
of all. That is the mood you don't know
what state your mind is in.
Now your as students on this campus
can be classified into three groups: An
apathetic student who doesn't give a damn
about whats happening around him. This
may be over exagerated, but maybe you'll
see my point. He's also the type of stu-
dent, who is usually unaware of what is
going on in the outside world. Outside world
meaning outside of his own little world.
Therefore becoming stale and stagnant in
his own quest for just existing or a state
of just being. Then there is the active
or involved student who tries to be on top
of everthing. In the world, and in his en-
vlronment, in this case would be school.
He is usually willing to work for his changes,
and beliefs on certain controversial issues.
He's even wiUing to "stick his neck out
Qavaift
on the limb," to show his awareness, his
willingness to see things get looked at and
even understood.
Now we get upon the third category of
students those who are caught in the mid-
dle. You could call such 9 person an idler.
One who doesn't know whether he is apathe-
tic or active in his role as a human, or
even better yet in his role as a student.
Which are you??? Or do you know??? May-
be you don't care...
Man wants to be free to do as he wishes
whether he is an existentialist or an ab-
solutist. When reviewing the spectrum, by
freedom, when wanting to achieve or re-
cieve such a quest; man forgets he only
"reaps what he sows."
Now in C.L.C.'s fight for freedom what
are you "reaping." What will you "sow."
Are you just sitting around waiting for the
next guy to do your job. You say you
want changes, but are you willing to work
and sacrifice for these changes. Are you
going to let C.L.C. stand in a stale mate''.'
Changes have to be made along with progress
Anywhere from dorm hours to recalling your
president who is standing up for those of
you who would like to change the trivia-
lities of this higher form of learning in-
stitute of knowledge (Ha!).
Are you going to let this school stand in
a stale mate. Or are you going to do some-
thing to pull it out of its miseries.
I realize some of your parents are pay-
ing for your education, buying and running
your life, but don't you think it's high
time for you to start living your own life,
the way you want it to be!?

A Content
A moment of reflection is need-
ad by every strdent at C.L.C.
This moment is needed to re-
flect upon student government
and the office of ASB President.
Student government has been
composed of a small, but vocal
minority. They have succeded in
perpetuating themselves in this
elitist form of democracy be-
cause an almost apathetic stu-
dent majority voted the same
way they thought everyone else
did. Just now we are seeing
the bitter fruits of this care-
less voting. We now have a stu-
dent government that could des-
troy itself unless it obtains act-
ive and massive student support
and pride.
The office of ASB President
is only a part, although a some-
what major part of the overall
institution known as student go-
vernment. The ASB President has
not totally caused nor has totally
sustained this predicament.
Therefore to recall only the
president could provide a conven-
lent scapegoat without a commit-
ment to eleminate all the ills
present in the ASB government,
yet to vote against recall could
only be construed as a vote of
approval. Either way is danger-
ous' Bob Leake
Edward Albee describes a recent dream in which
the end of the world occured in the following way.
"The world ended with a series of violent, fiery
explosions but without sound. There is no time
for terror; it is overleaped and the suddenness
is unimaginable as the silent bombs go off. To
each person there was no questioning as to what
was happening. It will be seconds before our own
lives cease- or maybe we are already dead; per.
haps that is why there is no sound."
We are already dead if the human resource within
us is not actualized. Spiritual Re-Emphasis Week-
1970 is about that: The Actualization of the Hu-
man Resource. The week is dedicated to involving
the entire college community in an active probing
and experiencing of the human resource: what it
is, where it is, and how it's motivated.
Spiritual Re-Emphasis Week is about celebration.
There is something to celebrate when the people
of God get down to the business of being "earth
people" participating in the dynamic, daily process
of life in our world in which Babel is called skin
pigmentation, national heritage, denominational af-
filiation, political doctrine, or emotional aberration.
The celebration of this week is over the fact that
there is an invitation to be accepted. It is an in-
vitation to come on as an alive person to the lov-
ing, serving task; to dust your mind off with the
possibility of a creative humanization of man; to
do some stretching in your life because of the free-
dom and grace of man in Jesus.
Celebration comes over the fact that Jesus has
something to say, something to offer in getting to
the human resource, your resource, which is not
be completely canned in a system of doctrine. It
is to be tasted, lived, danced, sung, and thought.
All five can be anticipated as part of this week.
Because the human resource is a personal thing
to be tested and realized, Spiritual Re-Emphasis
Week will not be a series of lectures but rather
is designed to build and grow from the inter-commun-
ication of real people. There will be an input of
thoughts and messages spoken, sung, and on cell-
uloid; but these will only suggest and shape what
can happen within us and among us. It is intended
to be a new thing, a much needed thing. Spiritual
Re.Emphasis Week, 1970. The Actualization of the
Human Resource.
Paul Keller and Ted McGill, under the auspices of the
College Committee on Religious Affairs, are the two
people coming to CLC for Spiritual Re-Emphasis
Week, 1970.
Paul Keller discribes himself as "coming out
of the dust bowl and the depression." He is a grad-
uate of Wartburg College and Wartburg Seminary.
His primary interest these days is in rediscovering
the roots of the Church as a people and expressing
his insights and convictions through the arts.

His greatest concentration has been in the area
of film making, drama, and worship. Keller serves
as the president of Kairos Films, Inc. and has
directed two films, appearing in one, which have
received gold medals from the International Film
and TV Festival of New York. A brand new film
from Kairos will be used as a part of Spiritural
Re-Emphasis Week.
Paul Keller has also served as a parish pastor
for 12 years. He then become president of a design
firm in Minneapolis. He has also done graduate study
in the areas of theology, psychology, and the philo-
sophy of history.
Ted McGill was born in Connecticut. He has spent
a great deal of time with the guitar, and as an enter,
tainer has done a lob of coffee-house work. His con-
cern is for self actualization. He does his talking
through songs which he and Keller often write
together.
Paul Keller and Ted McGill work together through
what is known as Kairos. Kairos is people work,
in community effort. It believes that its purpose
is to deliver every available human gift which can
help other people discover themselves as human
beings who are called to be servants. Kairos reaches
beyond any form of containment which hinders the
growth of the human spirit, and invites others to join
in redemption's song.

"Film is the art form that speaks most
urgently and most persuasively," so says
the Saturday Review of Literature. Film plays
an important shaping role in Spiritual Re.
Emphasis Week, 1970.
These short films of significance will be
used. Monday morning's 9:30 convocation
will feature "Why Men Creats." The film
is composed of eight separate and distinct
episodes each of which explores some facet
of man's drive to be creative.
The Roman Polanski film, "Two Men in
a Wardrobe," will be shown Monday even-
ing in an attempt to deal with "Why man
doesn't create." "Two Men in a Wardrobe"
is a nihilistic film.
A new Kairos film "The Sound of the
Cricket" will be used Tuesday morning dur-
ing the regular chapel hour. This is a new
film which was directed by Paul Keller,
with the music having been done by Ted
McGill.

PARENTS GET AN ASSOCIATION
By Gary Wooster
The parents of students at CLC now have an
association. The Parents Association came into being
just this year as a result of Development Office
initiative. It was planned during this last summer
and on December 3, the first mailing of information
by it took place.
The reasons for the Association are two-fold. One,
it will facilitate communication between the adminis-
tration and the parents. This would help to clarify
any rumors that might spread about things that happen
on the campus. Also, it would turn attention to
areas where the parents and the students — to the
extent that they communicate with their parents —
are concerned. Mr. Charles Brown, Admissions Coun-
selor who is Director of Parent Relations, stated,
"We hope that the organization would feed two ways.
That there would be communication between the
parent and the student, and that there would be
communication between the student and the adminis-
tration." Also, it is hoped that communication would
be both to and from the parent. "Only through two-
way communication can you have understanding."
The second reason for the Association is financial.
It is hoped that some of the parents, being in many
different industries, would be able to give the college
both leads and inroads to financial support from
industry. The Association is designed to work closely
with the Alumni Association.
A Board of Directors was chosen during the
summer for coordinating and liaison purposes. The
Board members are parents of present and past
students who have taken an active role in the college.
Many such parents were asked if they would care
to become involved and then the "members of the
'charter' Board of the Parents Association were
selected by the Board of Regents to be representa-
tive of the student body In class years, men and
women students, former students and geographical
location pertinent to getting the Association launched"
(as explained by a letter to the parents).
The Board of Directors are: Lt. Col. and Mrs.
Robert F. Blume, Mr. and Mrs. Rolf Bodding, Mr.
and Mrs. John Burison, Mr. and Mrs. Richard
Gerding, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Hugo Hoefs, Mr. and
Mrs. George Hooper Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Al Ireland,
Mr. and Mrs. James King Sr., Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Leo Kopp, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Roy
Lockhart, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Overton, Mr. and
Mrs. William Papenhausen, Mr. and Mrs. Arnold
E. Satrum, Mr. and Mrs. Henry J. Schommer,
Mr. and Mrs. William K. Scott, Mr. and Mrs. B.G.
Sims, Mr. and Mrs. Harold O. Sjolie, and Mr. and
Mrs. John Woudenberg. Mr. Charles Brown, Admis-
sions Counselor, is the Director of Parent Relations.
Dr. Omer Reed of the Board of Regents serves as
a Regent Representative to the Board of Directors.
Mr. Brown said, "I think if I had to narrow
anything down to one word as to the reason for
the Association, it would have to be simply to be
able to communicate in honesty."
Cj3jJ<jJo'\^3fft^ Ki
Recently, the Administration of CLC designed a Parents
Association for the alleged purpose of "communication be-
tween the parent and the student and communication between
the student and the- administration." But what they have actually
done is to produce an "instant constituency" to which they
can turn for support.
The parents involved in the association will only be those who
thought the organization would be worthwhile. These parents are
usually the ones who feel a need to control their sons and
daughters, not the ones who would rather let their children
make their own decisions.
Where does this leave students whose parents allow them the
freedom of decision? It puts them in a position of being con-
trolled by the whims of the administration, being constantly
backed up by the supra-authoritarian parents of a small minor-
ity of students. And so democracy is lost in a torrent of oligarchy.
And did we anticipate this squall? How could we? The letters
sent to the parents were not known to the students until a
student saw one on the desk of an administrator. Many students
still do not know about this. Surely this wide publicity is part of
the scheme to help "communication between students and admin-
istration."
What can we do about this sellout? Not a damn thingl
—By Raka
CLC Black-Brown Forum
The Black-Brown Forum opened at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday
In the CUB. There were some thirty-flve to forty people present.
The effort was directed to show the white students at CLC
the need for their understanding and involvement in the dynamic
movement of Black and Brown cultural consciousness, and the
overall striving for a better understanding socially.
Joseph Acquah opened the Forum and introduced Frank Olivas
of Mecha, a Chicano organization. Frank started out by men-
tionlng the poor quality of education that is taught in American
schools in relation to minority groups. He stressed the need for
more emphasis on these studies.
Then Donald Alley, from the Black Students Union of Cal
Lutheran, took the podium. He told of the need for understanding
from the white people to the Black and Brown movement in the
United States. He stated specifically that California Lutheran
College, as a liberal arts Christian college, should be the
"avant garde" of the movement. He stressed the need for
ethnic groups to have a positive attitude toward themselves
If they are to make life for themselves a constructive one.
Don mentioned some problems in the Institution concerning
the minority group studies — namely, social problems in
relation to the rifts in social activities; academic problems
in relation to history and sociology classes; and last but not
least, financial problems relating to
cruitment of more Afro-American and
misplacement of priorities.
He also mentioned that by being conscious of the social
elements of this society, students here can cope with social
problems easier1 once they leave school to further their careers.
Don said that these "cultural studies" are really human studies,
and that humanism is involved. Don went on to mention that the
inadequate financing, re-
Chicano students and the
BSU is a place where one maintains the black culture — a vital
part of the academic world. He showed that the BSU is a vital
part of the Black Community, as is the NAACP and the Black
Panthers. Lastly he spoke of his hope that to institute these
studies would result in making students "multicultural" people
— people who can relate to those of other cultures.
Anthony Fernandez then took over from Don, and he also
stressed the need for understanding. He mentioned the national
and international aspect of the minority group situation. He
stressed the need for involvement of as many white students
as possible in the studies, and also the need for the unity
of the Blacks, Browns, Poor Whites and the Indians to get
constructive things done in this country. He mentioned a very
important issue, that related to the "attitude." He declared
that the image of the "Frlto Bandlto" did little to really help
to understand the Chicano people at all. He said that the attitudes
of the white people towards minority groups must be changed.
He spoke of the need for both sides of the coin to be seen when
lt came to the actual Chicano studies themselves. He mentioned
the need for leftist speakers, speeches from the Delano farm
workers, speeches from the leaders organizing minorities in
New Mexico. He said that if CLC is indeed a LIBERAL ARTS
institution, it must reflect both sides of the coin, both alter-
natives.
Joe Acquah closed the forum with a statement that If white
students want to get involved, they should attend the Experimental
College Chicano and Balck Study programs. In order, then, to
promote understanding among the people of the United States
— in our capacity as students of CLC — let us question, let us
discuss, and let us manifist this by at least attending the Chicano
and Black Studies Programs of the Experimental College of CLC.
WESTERFIELD SPEAKS
On Thursday, February 5, at 8:15, Rex Wester-
field, Western Director of Public Relations for the
John Birch Society, spoke in the CLC gym as part
of the Concert-Lecture Series.
A very sharp man, Mrs. Westerfield was able
to make the John Birch Society sound very good
for a little over an hour, which was as long as his
speech lasted. A very good public relations man,
he didn't mention communist, communism, or a
communist conspiracy once in his speech (Undoubt-
edly he knew it would have alienated a large portion
of the audience.)
He did get into some of the beliefs of the John
Birch Society but only superficially. The Society is
for less government and more responsibility, be-
lieving government is the worst enemy of man.
They are against the Vietnam war (though reasons
weren.t given). They don't object to reasonable
taxation to finance a reasonable government, but
they do object to one segment of society "paying
the way" of another segment that is richer and better
able to pay (This was in reference to how the rich
use the tax loopholes.). They believe in concerted
action for change, not just criticizing but positive
action. They feel the War on Poverty has been a
cruel hoax, that it has not had the promised result.
And, they believe that Welfare is more designed to get
By Gary Wooster
people on it than off it. All the stated beliefs have
merit. They are all good beliefs, too good for a group
with the reputation of the John Birch Society.
At about 9:20, Mr. Westerfield finished his speech,
and the floor was opened to questions.
When asked why the Society opposes sex education,
he said that the Society was against classes in sex
"techniques," that children shouldn't be bothered
with it during the "latent period" of 6-14 or it might
disrupt their normal development (I got the impres-
sion he meant they would become neurotic, psy-
chotic, or perverted), that after that period it's too
late anyway, and that the only reasonable and appro-
prlate place for it is the home, though "parents
do make many mistakes."
He finally did mention communists and the com-
munist conspiracy when he was asked who was
responsible for the problems in America. He said,
"We attribute a good part of the problems in America
today to the size, scope, and power of government ...
and it is exploited by the 'communist conspiracy.' "
Various people walked out around this time and
when he commented that the Black Panthers were
"part of the problem, not part of the solution"
and that they weren't doing any good for the black
people. Many of those who walked out were black.
At 9:40, the group adjourned to the CUB where
the question and answer period was continued.
In the CUB he commented that the Panthers are
not going to help the black people but only bring
down the "wrath of the white people." He also
asked one girl in the front row to "name me one
constructive thing the Black Panthers have done,"
and cut her off before she could tell him.
The vein of questions and answers turned to
conditions in the U.S. today, and Mr. Westerfield
asked if anyone in the audience had seen someone
starve. (A very good move, it got him off the defen-
sive and put him on the offensive). When two people
answered yes, he came back beautifully with "and
what did you do for him?" Then Mr. Westerfield
said, "in the U.S. today there is no reason for a per-
son to starve" (Apparently may people are starving
needlessly.)
His .most illuminating remark (as to how he and
the John Birch Society really feel) was that "demo-
cracy is the worst form of government" and this
nation is becoming a participatory democracy. He
was losing his cool by this time and probably this
was just a slip (into the truth).
In his last remarks Mr. Westerfield really lost
his cool and told one man that he was the first rude
person all night. The man asked Mr. Westerfield if
the method used by the John Birch Society to accom-
plish its goals wasn't coercion. (Obviously Mr.
Westerfield knew the truth only too well.)
Invitation To Commitment:
Fast At CLC
The College Pastor Invites all persons in the
CLC community, faculty, students, and adminis-
trators, who are concerned about the Vietnam war
to join with him and persons throughout the country
in a Lenten-Passover Fast Action. The Fast Action
at CLC will begin Tuesday, Feb. 17th and will take
the form of a weekly noon hour happening until the
end of the Jewish Passover on April 27th. All
persons wanting to share in this Fast, with Pastor
Swanson, should meet at 12 noon on the grassy
knoll by the tennis courts on the 17th. If the weather
is bad the meeting place will be in the Mt. Clef
foyer.
The Lenten-Passover Fast Action has as its na-
tional sponsors the Fellowship of Reconciliation and
Clergy and Laymen Concerned About Vietnam. These
organizations are national in scope and have a long
record of expressing concern over the Vietnam
war. During this time different kinds of fasts will
be organized across the country. There will be
a fast in front of the White House from 9:00 a.m.
to 6:00 p.m. daily.
Pastor Swanson describes this Fast as being a
meaningful way to observe the Lenten Season. Lent
and Passover are seasons of both reflection and
rededicatlon. Jew and Christian alike share the
common history which acknowledges man's need
for self examination with the context of his brothers
In our situation — with the Vietnam war both a
domestic threat and international crisis — Lent
and Passover 1970, is a special time.
It is a time when we must say, "No," in a new
way to that which eats away at the very fabric of
life which binds us together as persons. Your choice
to participate in the weekly noon Fast, or not Is
a free one but it ought to be made in a quiet serious-
ness. If your choice is to participate have no illu-
sions about the possibility of peace being declared
because of this action. This is not to say that it is
a vain attempt t0 reacn the Chief Executive and
elicit from him a positive response for peace.
We will fast because we want that response from the
President. But we will fast first and primarily
because this is what we believe our Lord would have
us do during these days. God's demand upon us at
this time is not that we answer the questions,
"Will our fast work, will it be productive, will
It In fact end the war?" — our God only demands
that we love Justice and show forth mercy. We
fast, for one simple meal a week, because we see
ourselves standing within the tradition of those who
have a vision for the future which at certain points
precludes pragmatic questions and answers.
Through this kind of reflection about where we are
and what we have been up to with respect to the
war and our personal lives, there is the possibility
that we will gain new insight and a new sense of
what our common brotherhood means. Your parti,
cipation in this Fast may just be the time when
your politics get shaken up and your life style
revamped, your vocation altered, or even your pre-
vious actions severely judged. It has the potential
for producing new people who will work harder for
peace.
It could come to a tiny glimmer of identity with
those who suffer in Vietnam. There is no pretence
of bearing the burden that the Vietnamese or even
American soldiers are made to bear because of
the continuation of the war. But perhaps in doing
with a little less and at least for a moment neglecting
food which is a special sign of our affluence, a little
experience might come across of what those In
Vietnam experience dally.
Risk something of yourself, for a change, in a
celebrative kind of way. There is something to
celebrate in common beliefs and common commit,
ments. There is a need for you. Make a commitment
to Fast for a peace that begins with you and extends
beyond the nations to all the people on God's earth.
International Community
Herouy Emmanuel
By Joan Ericson
Herouy Emmanuel, more commonly called
Roy, came to CLC from Addis Ababa, Ethlo.
pia. During the twelve years he attended
an English private school in Addis Ababa,
Roy learned English and feels no language
barrier. He attended Haile Sellassie Uni-
versity for one year, where he studied
library science. Roy is presently putting
this knowledge to use by working in the
CLC library.
Roy's father works in a Lutheran radio
station in Addis Ababa, "Voice of the Gos-
pel," which is owned by the Lutheran World
Federation.
The reason that foreign students have
come to CLC is always interesting. Roy
says that he had wanted to come to the
United States for a long time. In Ethiopia,
he met a fellow countryman who attended
CLC three years ago; his report on the
school, coupled with that of Dr. Schaeffer,
father of CLC Senior Eileen Schaeffer, help,
ed convince Roy to choose CLC. Meeting
and talking with Dr. Raymond Olson, Presi-
dent of CLC, during his visit to Thiopia
confirmed Roy's decision. Last August Roy
travelled through Europe before arriving
in Los Angeles. The highlight of his trip
through Europe was a two week stay in
London.
Roy has discovered that the United States
meets the expectations he had formulated
through reading and through talking with
American friends. He claims to be sur.
prised (and glad) at the liberal speakers
that have come to CLC.
Like many other freshmen, Roy has chan.
ged his major several times and has decided
to major in political science. After staying
in the United States and in Southern Calif,
ornia until he earns an M.A. degree, Roy
plans to enter government service in Ethiopia.
Roy enjoys reading new books relating to
countries in transition. He remarked that the
international collection in the CLC library
is not as good as it should be.
During Christmas vacation, Roy tried his
skill at Mammoth for the first time. The
attempt must have been successful, for he
plans to join the ski club. His favorite
sport is tennis, however, which he can be
seen playing from time to time.

It's an idea!
Let's put some "life" into life insurance
That's what Lutheran students are
thinking about . . . life. What's ahead.
What good things are going to happen.
A career. A wife. A home and family.
And, believe it or not, life insurance
from Aid Association for Lutherans is
very much a living thing. First, it's
the only guaranteed form of savings.
You set your financial goal and com-
plete it even if you become physically
disabled. The money you put aside in
life insurance can come in handy to
help make a down payment on a home,
buy a new car, provide an umbrella for
a rainy day . . . even help send your
own son or daughter to college. But
the time to start is now when rates are
the lowest they'll ever be for you, and
your good health makes you insurable.
It's an idea! And the idea man is your
AAL representative . . . the man who
tells the life insurance story the way
it is . . . for the living. He's a fellow
Lutheran and dedicated to common
concern for human worth.

With this issue of the Echo, I suppose,
the first response of many people will be:
"Well, here goes the editorial merry-go-
round again." A valid comment, I'm sad to
say. I have the dubious distinction of
being the fifth editor of the student news-
paper since September. I firmly intend to
be the fifth and final editor of this rag.
So let's get one thing out of the way
right now — I will not resign. My predeces-
sors all had (I feel) valid reasons for
resigning. I do not. If I am replaced, know
now that I did not resign.
When the SPC tonight (Wednesday) appoin-
ted me editor, it was with the stipulation
that my appointment would be reviewed at the
end of the winter quarter. Hopefully, I will
be approved for the spring quarter as well.
As I told the SPC, I feel that the Echo is
in need of oniy two things: a permanent edi-
tor and a certain measure of support from
the students of CLC. I intend to supply the
first need, will you give the second?
The Echo is "the official news publication
of the Associated Student Body" <6f CLC, That's
YOU, follow? "no Cyclamates" and "Freedom
Fighter's Flyer" were examples of the paper
you can have IF YOU SUPPORT IT, IF YOU WRITE
FOR IT, IF YOU EXPRESS YOURSELVES. "True Funk"
was an example of the type of paper you'll
get if you don't. Because there's enough hap-
pening here at CLC, at Moorpark JC, Ventura
JC, UCSB, L.A., T.O., Ventura (??), etc., that
we could put ourt a good 16 pager every week.
But if someone doesn't write it, we can't
print it. our staff is small, staff writers
are almost nonexistent (right now) . So we
really need the support of you, the student,
to keep going, keep the lines of dommunication
open.
There are some who feel that the Echo should
not indulge in dubious controversies. I feel the
paper should report what happens— and what's
happening now — on and off campus — is controversy
So we'll report it. Also, some people feel that the
Paper should stick to hard news only. I feel that the
Echo is the only "official" voice that the CLC stu-
dent has; we will leave the pages wide open, there-
fore, to all and every comment, aside, opinion and
gripe that any student has. So if you have a gripe-
write it down and give it to us — we'll air it and
also qive the "other party" space to reply.
And what about faculty and administrators? There
are things they want to say, too, and if they wish
they can say it on our pages. We're wide open, so
come on in!
At this point, I'd like to say THANK YOU to Gene
Pfrimmer, my predecessor, for doing what I think wa
a tremendous job as interim editor. He took over when
he was desperately needed and did his best with the
material at hand. He has promised to work closely
with me in the printing of the Echo, and I welcome
his help. Also, I'd like to thank Gene for showing me
the technical ropes for making a mess of this sheet.
And I'd like to thank those others (Ray, Larry, Kris-
ten, Marilyn, Eric, etc., etc.,) who have volunteered
to stay on as staff. Please stay.'
Now I'll stop to catch my breath, and give youz
a chance to go to the restroom. Jest keep them cards
n letters comin in, folks!
— joel davis, editor-elect.
This is the last issue for which I can be held resp-
onsible. I had aspirations for this newspaper, but
very little help. I wish Joel Davis the best of lu-
ck in his quest for a publication of which we can all
be proud. I did not resign; I expired.

pill
Eyer since oral contraceptives
first became popular in Americae
sometime during the '60s, many
people have wondered if there
are any effects— not only moral
issues, but concerning the health
of women taking "the pill." Be-
fore any certain answers can
be given more research must
be done. Dr. Harold Leif, the
man who helped place sex in
medical-school programs, says,
"the field of research is vir.
ginal;" which seems to be a ra-
ther ironic play on words. What
of the behavior attitudes towards
taking the pill and how it relates
to sex, especially premarital
sex? Dr. Leif claims that the
university he is working at and
he "are trying to counter a pre.
vailing prejudice that the pill
causes promiscuity. Before oral
contraceptives, the girl would
still go to bed with a man, but
there would tend to be more
worrying." Many people are of
the opinion that because of the
pill, there is more premarital
sex going on. But Ira Reiss, the
leading U.S. authority on sex out.
side of marriage contends that
when the condom and diaphragm
came into use many years ago,
there did not appear to be any
heightened activity among pre-
marital sex relations.
Many doctors believe that us.
ing the pill helps to stabilize a
marriage, and it helps make
young wives freer when it re-
lates to sexual relations with her
husband. No longer can she re.
fuse to have normal sexual rela-
tions with her husband because
of the excuse that she doesn't
want to get pregnant. Eight mil-
lion women in the U.S. take the
pill, though it is unknown how
many are married, and how many
are single.
Though no positive adverse
effects have been noted, it is
true that venereal disease is up
26 per cent in the last four years,
due in part to the use of oral
contraceptives. The pill, unlike
the condom, does not prevent
venereal disease. That's some,
thing to think about!

Newspaper
At the beginning of the winter quarter,
the editor of the Echo at that time, John
Guth, asked for volunteers to work on the
paper. One hundred and t wenty.fi ve people
signed up and many assignments for articles
were given.
At this date the number of people working
on and contributing to the paper is well
below twenty, no where near enough to keep
this paper going. Also most of the articles
that were assigned still haven't been turned
in. What happened? Why haven't people sup-
ported the paper they were so enthusiastic
about? That I don't know. But I do know
the result. It was manifestly shown by
last week's paper, a four page publication
callled True Funk which was truly balled
up. It consisted of only four articles and
two pleas, one from the Blood Bank and
one from Circle K.
Many people have been complaining about
the quality of the paper. They should com-
plain; it should be much better, and It can
be. But if it is to improve, it must be
supported. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It's your paper, and it's up to you to
support it. Even, especially, If you dis-
agree with it, write for it. The only ideas
and opinions expressed by it are those that
are submitted.

Mommy, why do we have cops?
Not cops! Police Officers. We have them
to help little girls and boys to cross busy
streets and to look for their lost pets.
But mommy, the man at school today said that
some of them are mean and beat up people and
even kill people. We shouldn't have these kind
of people around, should we?
But policemen aren't like that, dear. They are
only there to help you.
Don't they ever hurt anybody, mommy?
They never hurt anybody who is not a trouble-
maker. No one will get hurt except the
troublemakers . Troublemakers are bad people and
some of them need to be punished.
But mommy, the man in school today said that we
should never hurt anybody or anything. Why did h
say that, mommy?
He was probably confused. Its a well known fact
that some people should be punished because they
cause trouble for the rest of us.
Mommy, maybe the other people are right and the
rest of us are wrong . Can ' t that be mommy?
Stop asking all these questions! Who was that mi
at school anyway? I'm going to write the school
board and complain. Bringing communists into
the classrooms of our schools to prevert the
minds of the young. Honestly!
I don't remember his name, but teacher told
us to call him "Father" ^ he w~s very
quiet and calm and had a long white beard
and he just g^t of glowed. Is he my
father
mommy:
He is not! Jim, call the psychiatrist!
Julie is seeing things!

Yes dear, of course. Now lay down here, and

Makes It

The person of Hamlet has always been a fas.
cinating one to the readers of Shakespeare. He Is
also an extremely difficult character to portray
well on stage. The role of Hamlet probably ranks
with that of Iago as one of the most coveted by
Shakespearean actors, or actors anywhere.
Nicol Williamson portrays Hamlet In a filmed
version of the play that is just now finishing its
run at the United Artists theater in Westwood.
Last Wednesday over fifty CLC students and friends
went to see it. Williamson was, to say the least,
arresting
The first impression I got of Williamson as Ham-
let was his age; I had always pictured Hamlet as
a person definitely under thirty. Williamson was
definitely over; in fact, he seemed to be at least
forty. It was jarring.
After a few minutes of listening to him, though,
I almost forgot about this seeming contradiction.
Williamson's control of the language was, in my
opinion, superb. The famous solioquies, the now-
cliched phrases-the laneuaee of Shakespeare's most
fascinating, complex hero came alive. Williamson
was not reading a part. He became Hamlet; he
spoke, whispered, raved as a man would when faced

Three CLC students journeyed to Den-
ver, Colorado, to participate in the Rocky
Mountain National Forensics Contest at the
University of Denver last weekend.
Doug Warneke, Bill Bowers and Gary
Scott represented CLC under the direction
of Mr. Scott Hewes, Forensics Director.
Senior student BUI Bowers reached the
Semi-Finals in 2 events: Impromptu and
Dramatic Interpretation. Bill went on to
the Finals in Dramatic Interp, placing in
the top 6.
Over forty schools participated in the
tournament, coming from points as diverse
as New York City, Abilene,Texas, Seattle,
Washington, and Spearflsh, South Dakota.
Among the larger schools which particlpat-
ed were Northern Arizona University, the
University of Missouri, NYU and USC.
The team flew to Denver early Thursday
afternoon, and returned late Saturday even-
ing. When asked to recount what had hap-
pened In between, they merely grinned.
Mr. Hewes has announced that there are
planty of competitions coming up in the
near future, including next week at Cerritos
College, and soon after that in Whittler
and in San Diego. Anyone interested In
participating should contact him at CLC

with the agonies that gnawed at Hamlet.
Several students complained afterwards of a seem-
ingly over-generous use of closeups. This might
well have detracted somewhat from the quality of
the film. In several places,though, this technique
was quite appropriate-in Hamlet's solitary soli-
loquies spoken to no one but the audience, William-
son often gazed directly into the camera; and the
scene in his mother's bedroom, immediately after
Hamlet had killed Polonius, used closeups with tell-
ing effect.
It should also be noted that the film was not of
the entire play. Most notlcably, the final scene of
the play, in which Fortinbras enters the throneroom
to find Hamlet, his mother, Claudius, and Laertes
aU dead on the floor, was cut.
All in all, however, I think that Williamson's
Hamlet was an excellent piece of Shakesperean
performance, and Williamson himself deserves to
be ranked, as Time magazine asserts, among the
best portrayers of Hamlet In the history of the
theater.

Vol.* 9, No. 17 of the Mountclef Echo, The official news publication of the Associated Studei Body of California Lutheran College, Thousand Oaks, California, 91360.
PRELIMINARY REPORT OF SPECIAL SENATE
INVESTIGATORY COMMITTEE
Chairman: Larry Crouch, Junior Senator
Post Office Box 2843, 495-8984
Date: February 10, 1970
The below mentioned grievances are not intended
to be a judgment of the Dean of Students. They
represent an abbreviated list of instances in which
the Senate of the Associated Student Body seriously
questions the jurisdiction and legitimacy of the
Dean's action. These specific cases have been docu.
mented by the Special Investigatory Committee of the
Senate (Chairman: Larry Crouch). Names and par.
ticulars will be supplied upon request by the
Chairman if there are doubts as to the validity
of these cases.
In relation to student government, the Dean of
Students has deliberately endeavored to disregard
and circumvent, discredit and subordinate the legi-
timate processes of the Associated Student Body to
his office.
1. During the ASB elections of Spring 1969 the
Dean of Students was involved in a concerted cam.
paign against a certain student seeking elective
office. He not only encouraged another student to
oppose that individual, but on the day of the elec-
tion the Dean blatantly distributed material critical
of that student at or around the polling place which
is strictly prohibited by ASB election practices.
A fine was imposed upon the Dean of which pay-
ment was never received.
2. It was also during the ASB election of last
year that the Dean offered a "scholarship" io a
student if he would seek a certain influential posi-
tion in student government. However, the student
refused the offer.
3. On more than one occasion this year, the
Dean of Students has selected the students to "rep-
resent" the ASB at various conferences and gath-
erings and thereby circumvented the representative
system of student government.
4. On the College Union Board and Student Con-
duct Committee the Dean has demonstrated dis-
regard for student government in ignoring the nor-
mal processes for selecting student members.
5. The administration on many occasions has
interferred with the publication and censored the
content of the student newspaper. The Dean of Stu-
dents has been active in that process. Recently,
funds for the ECHO were withheld by the Dean
because he was unsure whether or not the paper
had a contract with the printers. The threat to
withhold funds has been used as a lever to influence
the ECHO on many occasions. For instance, the
qualifications of the editor and questionable status
of those working on the paper have been used as
excuses for such action in the past.
6. The use of Central Services to duplicate ma-
terial has always been open to students providing
that time was available and the student provided
the paper. During the women's hour controversy,
one woman student desired to issue an open letter
to the student body at her own expense. Due to a
new policy any material of a "questionable" con-
tent had to be cleared through the Office of the
Dean of Students. She was denied access to Cen-
tral Services to express her opinion.
In regard to the Dean of Students' relations with
the student body at large, there are many instances
which call into question the legitimacy of certain
disciplinary acts. However, due to the personal nature
of such problems and relations with the Dean, the
committee has found it difficult to verify a large
number of these cases because students are gen-
erally hesitant to come forward with such infor-
mation. There does appear to be ample evidence to
indicate that the Dean has often disregarded the dual
concepts of due process and double jeopardy sub.
jecting students to punitive measures or harassment
on the basis of circumstantial or hearsay informa-
tion. Also, there are strong indications that in
matters of student conduct the meaning of what
is Christian and moral is imposed on students
allowing little room for Individual values. However,
it is difficult to determine whether such defini-
tions of "morality" are views of the entire admin-
istration which the Dean simply applies or whether
the Dean, is in fact, acting independently in deter-
mining such.
February 12, 1970
Mr. Phil Reitan, ASB President
California Lutheran College
Thousand Oaks, California 91360
Dear Phil:
I have before me a document dated February 10,
1970, carrying the name of Larry Crouch, junior
Senator of the ASB. The document addresses itself
to so-called grievances related to the Dean of Stu-
dents of CLC. I am addressing myself to you as
the President of the Associated Student Body, in-
asmuch as the heading of this document makes it a
part of student government concerns. Dean Gangsei
is in his office by virtue of the appointment of the
President of the college, with further endorsement
of that appointment by the Board of Regents.
I have advised Dean Gangsei not to appear before
the Senate of the Associated Student Body, partly
because the grievances are patently contrived and
primarily because the ASB Senate has no jurisdic-
tion whatever in the Dean of Students conduct of
his office.
If the Associated Student Body, through your office,
desires to appoint a committee including Mr.
Crouch, to meet with the President and the Dean
of Students to discuss this matter, I will make
myself available. This will be done however only
alter Mr. Crouch has conferred with Dean Gant
concerning the alleged grievances, with a genuine
attempt to clarify and resolve them in that setting.
Most sincerely,
Raymond M. Olson
President
1. Early Fall quarter a memorandum was re-
ceived by all of off-campus students from the Dean's
office. It stated that different areas of an off-campus
home must be sectioned off and designated, bedroom,
study area, etc. It was also stated th,at there could
be no alcohol in off-campus residences. However,
it should be noted that the college does not locate
houses for many such off-campus students, nor does
it have any legal jurisdiction in such matters.
2. In at least two known examples, students have
been expelled from this college on the weight of
an off-campus arrest on marijuana charges prior to
any conviction in a court of law. They have been
denied due process and protection from double
jeopardy.
3. In at least five known cases, students have
been forced to confront the Dean of Students In
a disciplinary capacity because of off-campus per-
sonal relationships. In two instances, the counsel-
ing of the Dean was sought in good faith, but the
students involved were subsequently faced with dis-
ciplinary action rather than advice. In at least one
case, a student, fearful of the results of seeking
the advice of the Dean, took his problems else-
where.
4. In two known cases, students were confronted
with the option of marriage or expulsion.
IT IS THE OPINION OF THE COMMITTEE THAT
THE DEAN OF STUDENTS SHOULD ANSWER THE
QUESTIONS RAISED BY THIS LIST OF GRIEVANCES
BEFORE THE SENATE OF THE ASSOCIATED STU-
DENT BODY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. AN ACCEPT-
ABLE SOLUTION TO THE PRESENT SITUATION CAN
ONLY BE FOUND IF BOTH POSITIONS ARE KNOWN
AND UNDERSTOOD. FROM THAT BASIS WE CAN
ADDRESS OURSELVES TO THE BASIC ISSUES BE-
ING RAISED HERE.
OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT RAYMOND M.OLSON:
I have before me your response to the Report of
the Special Senate Investigatory Committee issued
on the 10th of February. To say the least, I am
disappointed by your reaction to what you term
"the so-called grievances related to the Dean."
When the ASB President, Phil Reitan, and myself
were in your Office several weeks ago, I was
impressed by your openness and willingness to
listen to us on this matter. I conveyed my obser-
vation of such to the ASB Senate as an encouraging
sign that perhaps better relations were ahead, but
apparently I was too quick to praise. I feel your
most recent statement is regretable and takes us
backwards. Your suggestion that the Dean is "in
his office by virtue of the appointment of the Presi-
dent of the college, with further endorsement of that
appointment by the Board of Regents" forces me to
strongly object and ask "Quo Warranto?" By what
right? Who says? By what right can students be
implicated or, at least, required in abstentia to
approve the appointment of a Dean of Students in
which we had no voice whatever. Certainly, your
argument is unclear considering that the decision
of appointment was made years before any of the
current issues were raised. I make this point re-
gardless of any value judgments that may now be
associated with that individual.
As to your advice to the Dean not to appear before
the Senate of the Associated Student Body, I cannot,
in all good faith, understand your rationale. The
Dean in question is the Dean of Students and if he
cannot discuss his position and reasons for past
action relating to students and student government
before the legitimate student representative body,
then you have made a mockery of the "so-called"
college community at California Lutheran College.
When you refer to grievances as "patently con-
trlved" that simply will not do. What do you take
us for? I ask you to re-read the opening and 'losing
statements of the Committee's report. To me it
is clear that we intend no smear and I resent
your implication of such. The final lines read:
"An acceptable solution to the present situation
can only be found if both positions are known and
understood. From that basis we can address our-
selves to the basic issues being raised. . . "
Furthermore, when it is stated that the "ASB
Senate has no jurisdiction whatever in the Dean
of Students conduct of his office," I can only res-
pond by expressing how pathetic such assertion
is. For whom was this college created0 Certainly
not for students. Why not disband student govern.
ment by decree? If it is not and cannot be any-
thing more than an absurd sandbox democracy,
then why not eliminate it? Maybe we should do it
ourselves. For if the ASB Senate cannot be allowed
to voice its objections when student rights (e.g.
due process, etc.) are infringed upon or take measures
to assure its own legitimacy, then its continued
existence is pointless. Again, as I have stated time
and time again, as we enter into negotiations deal-
ing with changes In the governance of this insti-
tution, we must do so in a more cooperative spirit
of mutual respect refraining from arbitrary defin-
itions of each other's roles. I regret this letter
has to be written for I recognize it not to be con-
structive, but it is time that such actions be made
public. This is not an isolated example. It is typi-
cal and student government has kept too much to
itself too long. Too many insults have been heaped
upon too many threats.
If the ASB is to serve the students it purports
to represent, it cannot be considered to function
at the pleasure of the President. I have stated
such to you before. We will not lend what little
rightful legitimacy you might afford us to what
are your most illegitimate acts.
Finally, I cannot but dismiss your closing sug-
gestion of a meeting at some future date to dis-
cuss this matter further. Again, you attempt to
illustrate that the channels of communication are
open when so obviously they are not. Of what value
would a meeting be? Your position is quite clear.
However, I feel compelled to ask why must all
discussions, as with any consequential decision made
at CLC, be secreted behind closed doors? Is it the
fear of openness? Or is it perhaps in this case that
by meeting with a committee of students you just
might be admitting that students have some mar-
ginal jurisdiction in the matter after all?
You need not, of course, dignify this letter by
a response. After all, the arguments and illus-
trations contained herein are "patently contrived"
and I have "no jurisdiction whatever" in responding
to the accusations you have made.
Sincerely,
R. David Lewis
ASB Vice-President
ARE YOU SURE?
Oswald J. Smith, Litt. D
"Are you a Christian?"
"I hope so."
"But are you not sure?"
"Why no. I can never be sure in this life."
"What would you say if I were to tell you
that I am sure?"
"Oh, I would think you were very presump-
tuous."
"But what would you say if I were to tell
you that God expects you to be sure?"
'Is that possible? Are you in earnest?
"I most assuredly do."
"And you say that God expects you to be
sure?"
"He certainly does."
"How do you know?"
"The Bible says so."
"Where?"
"In I John v. 13. Here, read it your-
self. Read it aloud."
" 'These things have I written unto you
that believe on the name of the Son of God;
that ye may know that ye have eternal life.' "
"Are you sure that you read it right?
Does it not say, 'These things have I written
unto you that ye may guess, hope, or think,
that ye have eternal life?"
"Oh, nol It says in plain words, 'that ye
may know.1 There can be no mistake about
it."
" 'That ye may know'? But what do you
think it means?"
"Mean! Why, it must mean what it says.
But I never know that verse was in the Bible.
Why have I not seen it before?"
"Yet there it is. Do you believe now that
you may know? Is it possible to be sure?"
"Yes, yes, for God plainly says so. But
how, tell me how you know. Oh, if I could
only feel saved."
"Feel, did you say? Read the verse again."
" 'These things I have written unto you.'"
"Does it say anything about feeling?"
"No, not a word."
"But did you read it correctly? Does it
not say, 'These happy feelings have I given
unto you'?"
"No, it says, 'These things have I writ-
ten.' "
"Apparently, then, it has nothing to do
with feeling whatever, has it?"
"Oh, now I begin to see the light! It means,
does it not, the things written in God's Word
concerning salvation?"
"Exactly. Now let us look at some of them;
for if you have met the conditions of salva-
tion, then, on the authority of God's Word,
you know that you are a Christian. Turn first
and read John 1.12."
" 'As many as received Him, to them gave
He power to become the sons of God.' "
"Have you received Jesus Christ as your
Saviour and your Lord?"
"Yes, I have."
"Then on the authority of God's Word you
are His child."
"It must be true since God says so; but
oh, it seems too good to be true."
"Yet it is true, nevertheless, thank God.
Now read John VI. 37."
" 'Him that cometh to me I will in no
wise cast out.' "
"Have you come?"
"I have. I came to Jesus and accepted
Him as my Saviour and my Lord."
"And are you saved?"
"That's wiiat I want to know."
"Well now, tell me: Did He cast you out?"
"I don't know."
"Read the verse again. Here it is, John
VI. 37."
" 'Him that cometh to me I will in no wise
cast out.' Why, it says, 'in no wise.' He did
not cast me out. Then, then— He must have
"But what if Satan should make me doubt
again tomorrow?"
"Simply go back to the Bible. Read aloud
these and scores of similar passages, and
he will flee."
"Oh, thank God! What a privilege it is to
be sure! Do you know, it seems to me that
it would be presumptuous of me to doubt my
salvation."
"It certainly would. That would be equi-
valent to calling God a liar."
"God forgive me! I never realized that
before."
"Now let me tell you something else.
There is another way by which you can be
sure you are a Christian."
"And wnat is that?"
"The witness of the Holy Spirit. Here let
me read Romans VIII. 16.
' 'The Spirit himself beareth witness with
our spirit, that we are the children of God.' "
"But what does that mean?"
"It means that as you believe God's Word
the Holy Spirit, who Indwells every believer
bears witness with your spirit that you are'
God's child."
"Oh, how wonderful; two witnesses, the
Word of God and the Spirit of God."
"Are you satisfied?"
"Indeed I am."
"Do you know now?"
"Why, of course I do."
"And are you a Christian?"
"Thank God, I am, and I know it! Oh.
yes, I am sure no a."
The Curse of The Jesus Man
by
Bill Carlson
The Devil wrested himself in the world
a long time ago-
-way before I was ever born
And just after I was born
a Jesus Man came to me and said;
"Kid, you gotta fight that Devil."
And he drove that into me.
He drove it in with the very nails that
Stuck him on a cross.
He kept sayin,
"Kid, that Devil screwed up a
whole lot of people.
You gotta fight that devil."
And then he crawled inside my soul,
And I tried to understand as I grew older.
As I grew older trying to fight the devil.
Then one day, when I thought I understood
That old Jeaus Man came up to me
and said,
"Kid, there ain't no God"
And I cried "Oh my God"
And Jesus Man replied, "But Kid, there ain't no God"
And I said "Jesus H. Christ"
And Jesus man replied, "The 'H' stands for
"Havin a Helliva time."
As he crawled back inside my soul where he
continued to say,
"Kid, that devil screwed up a whole lot
of people, You gotta fight that Devil."

What if there were nothing?
Is your consciousness my idea? I assume your
consciousness because of our resemblence.
If with God all things are possible why are some
things bad?
What is there to be afraid of? (Imprisonment.)
As children we play and are punished. Gradually
we become imprisoned. Our goals should be free,
dom, clear perception, infinity. What did Jesus give0
Love? The greatest gift is freedom.
Freedom is always here but prisons obscure it.
As you approach infinity things become greater than
you ever dreamed. You never reach infinity. You
rise higher every moment. If we used the other
nine tenths of our brains perhaps we would know
all and merge with all things in all times.

SPIRITUAL RE-EMPHASIS
Between February 8 and February 11
(inclusive) CLC had eight programs on the
subject of "The Actualization of the Human
Resource." There are many people who
were disappointed with the outcome of the
programs. I got a lot out of them, however.
To understand Paul and Ted, I think it
is necessary to see two things about their
program. First, the objective was not to
save souls, as many people wanted. Their
programs were directed to people who were
already Christians. Second, if they had put
their presentation in the form of se/mons,
no one would remember them. I, for one,
will never forget them.
I can't really condense what they said in
a way that will do it justice. But I do
have to write this article 'to tell people
what I think they were trying to say. Other-
wise an important message will be missed.
Jesus Christ came to give us life. If
we want to believe in him: we must be
willing to commit our lives in service
to him. If we follow him, we will have
new horizons and new visions. With these
visions and with our new life, we can ac
tualize our human resources.
I believe that the above paragraph is
their message. Wliatever your beliefs are
concerning Jesus, I'm sure that you will
be able to see that this is what is meant
for all Christians.

authority on God or Jesus. If we are created equal,
how can one person know God more than others?
Who is authorized to say what Jesus is like?
We are not sinners. Righteous persons are not
superior, though they would have us believe so.
I don't believe Jesus was divine. (Pray to Jesus
and he won't answer.) When I was three I had a
dream. I was in a church. It became dark and every,
one disappeared. I felt fear. Where there had been
a statue of Jesus was a low dresser. One end
creaked away from the wall and a tiger peered out
at me. It was the ultimate fear. Later in the dream
my brother fought with a lion. Does this illustrate
that Christianity denies we are animals?
God is a spy. He knows everything we do yet
remains hidden. The world is similar to a haunted
house. In a haunted house we feel spirits watching
us. In the world we feel God watching us. The
spirits do not reveal themselves because they don't
exist. God does not reveal himself.
Money is swell stuff. It makes a party
political or social. It builds theatres

done with money and lots of young people

TO THE EDITOR:
Freedom of Association and Expression guaranteed
by the First Amendment of the United States
Constitution includes the right of individuals to pool
their talents and common interests in furtherance
of certain agreed upon goals. It exists in favor of
all private groups, from the SDS to the American
Civil Liberties Union and even includes CLC. When
this right is coupled with financial resources it
becomes a powerful instrument for influencing
particular conduct in society.
The federal and state governments and any person
or agency vicariously related therewith must permit
these groups to freely compete for establishment
of the kind and quality of life they believe is essential
to viable human existence. The concept is fundamental
and simple. However at CLC it is patently obvious
from the recent student publications (most notably
"The . . . Rag") that it has slipped past the under-
standing of even the most adroit of ASB politicians.
No one has expressed even a slight comprehension
of root distinctions between the state operated educa-
tional institution and the private educational institution.
Clearly in the past the only justification the state
college had for imposing moral standards and dis-
criminatory double standards on their students was on
the "in loco parentis" theory. In recent years this
theory has been discredited and abandoned by the
great majority of state institutions, realizing that
their educational nature is insufficient grounds for
exercising a greater degree of control over the pri-
vate citizen than could be directly exercised by
government itself. Hence when a student enters a
state institution he does not leave his Constitutional
rights behind. For example, a student so inclined
can exhibit lewd publications up to the point before
they become "patently offensive" and "appealing
to the prurient interest."
On the other hand a private educational institution
is not an instrumentality of the state and hence the
Constitutional prohibitions on restraint of liberty do
not apply. (Granted, there is some "state action"
at CLC created by government loans and grants
whereby the 14th Amendment could be argued as
applicable, but even at the outer limits of rational
Constitutional construction this protection goes no
further than equal protection clause prohibition against
racial discrimination.) So when the freshmen and
sophomore women cry "double standard" they are
certainly correct in concluding that discrimination
exists, but the point is that it is not a forbidden
discrimination and they have no ground for a con-
test. Any resident in a CLC facility is a mere
tenant with no more rights than those granted by
the owners.
Similar reasoning applies to the student publication.
Presently no censorship exists, but so what if it did?
Does not the owner of the funds that facilitate the
printing have the right to determine the content?
The Constituional issue of freedom of speech is
nowhere involved. Rather the question is whether the
publication has gone beyond the bounds of academic
freedom as defined by this institution.
California Lutheran College is a private associa-
tion dedicated to expressly enumerated Christian
principles. It exists because the founders and present
constituency believe those principles are important
to meaningful human existence. Standards of conduct
growing out of this purpose is not legislation of
morals as alleged by the ASB leaders in their
tortious attack on the Deans. Legislation implies an
absolute restriction on freedom and at CLC every
student has freely chosen a particular kind of educa-
tion with a sundry of incidents and if and when an
unresolvable disagreement should attach no one ex-
pects the student to capitulate in his belief by
remaining.
Co-existence with these principles is no more than
an incident of life for everyone associated with
CLC, including faculty and administration. Policy
decisions by College officials are not arbitarily
made. They involve a difficult balancing of interests
of not only those within the campus community but
also member Churches and related groups and indi-
viduals on the "outside." Hence, although student
opinion is diligently weighed as an expression of a
high priority interest it will not prevail if it threatens
the very existence of the institution. The predicament
is not advertised, of course, but it can be thoroughly
documented that each institutional shuffle to the left
is met with a corresponding stumble in the Develop,
ment office. This is not to say that money controls
policy, but rather vice versa, for this is how CLC
began. Therefore at least one reason should be
clear why the status quo does not change easily.
The admitted "frustration" and evident confusion
in student leadership is the result of their inability
or refusal to accept the underlying structure of
this College and continues to be exemplified in the
debate over governance. Unlike the state university
campus political gamesmanship is a non-entity at
CLC. The power to govern is an inseparable inci-
dent of ownership, and therefore any student claim
to that power is no more than a frivolous sham.
ASB leaders have exhibited fantastic elasticity in
their thought processes but it is an insurmountable
leap to expect to create a democracy out of a pri-
vate corporation.
A straightforward approach to any conflict usually
gives perspective to one's point of view and clears
the way for understanding. It frames the issues so
they can be debated with reason and ultimately
resolved. The ASB is not without notable achieve-
ment in improving the quality of education they
receive and in encouraging a common effort to
meet educational responsibilities in the community.
The question is whether it was a blinding "flash in
the pan." Only with a deliberate renewal of common
direction will the course change.

PRESENT STATE OF FACULTY INVOLVEMENT
IN COLLEGE GOVERNANCE
By the faculty members of the Advisory Ad Hoc-
Committee concerned with college governance.
(L. Murley, P. Paris, E. Tseng, A. Walz)
The faculty is represented by a 7 per cent mem-
bership in the college corporation, the convocation.
Actual governance of the college is delegated to
the Board of Regents from which any college em-
ployee other than the President is prohibited from
sitting. (Article IV, Section 4A of BY-LAWS of
CLC)
According to the present faculty constitution "The
chief responsibility of the faculty is instruction."
It further states that "to aid in execution of this
responsibility, the faculty may, subject to the Board
of Regents, initiate policies in all areas." In order
to "initiate policies" the faculty can, through its
faculty meetings, formulate a recommendation to the
President. When necessary, the President can then
communicate such recommendations to the Board
of Regents. In fact, then, the faculty is advisory
even in its power "to initiate." According to Article
IV of the By-Laws: "All corporate powers shall
be exercised by or under authority of, and the
business and affairs of this corporation shall be
controlled by, a Board of Regents."
Immediate involvement of the faculty in general
college governance, however, rests in various advi-
sory committees, such as the College Council which
includes elected, tenured faculty. Faculty of junior
ranks depend upon the tenured members to present
faculty viewpoints. Other involvement of the faculty
in such aspects of governance as faculty appoint-
ments or retentions, budgetary appropriations, sal-
ary increments, curricular and extra-curricular ma-
tters is strictly an advisory one.
In certain instances (such as dormitory hours)
the faculty has specific committees to be involved
in college governance. According to the College
Accreditation Report of 1967, the faculty committee
•on Student Standards "considers student problems
which are referred by the Dean of Students or by
the Standards Committees of the students. It also
hears and evaluates reports from the Deans con-
cerning student life and conduct and offers assistance
in setting policy and regulating conduct." Both stu-
dents and Deans, then, can request direct assistance
of the faculty. Here the initiative for the faculty's
advice rests outside the faculty.
POTENTIAL STATUS OF FACULTY INVOLVEMENT
IN COLLEGE GOVERNANCE (L. Murley, P. Paris..
E. Tseng, A. Walz)
By the faculty members of the Advisory Ad Hoc-
Committee concerned with college governaii' :i .
(L. Murley, P. Paris, E. Tseng, A. Walz)
The faculty can be more effective if it has more
meaningful roles in the decision-making processes
of school governance. We assume that the Boi
of Regents would continue to exercise its delegated
authority.
To accomplish a more effective role of faculty
involvement in the decision-making process, we rec-
ommend that a review be made of the faculty con-
stitution with a view toward making possible changes
such as:
1. Greater faculty involvement in budgetary con-
siderations for the college;
2. Reconstitution of the College Council to provide
for the inclusion of representation of junior faculty
members; and to entrust it with decision-making
responsibilities for the entire college community:
3. Reorganization of faculty meetings to stress
that the faculty is a distinct element of the college
community;
a. The faculty meeting should be chaired by a
faculty member elected by that body;
b. For purposes of maintaining faculty identity,
only instructional faculty should be voting members
in this body;
c. An executive committee representative of the
faculty, meeting on a weekly basis, to exercise
powers delegated to it by the faculty (e.g. an
Academic Senate);
d. That faculty viewpoints be taken to the Board
of Regents by faculty representatives.
4. To maintain continuing community interaction,
gatherings similar to the Fall Retreat be fostered.
Some options would be:
a. That the role of the convocation be revised
to meet such needs; ui
b. The implementation of a Community Council
representing Constituency, Board of Regents, Ad-
ministration, Faculty, Students, and Alumni.
We believe that such changes should be considered
by the present divisions in view of a Constitutional
change.

TO THE EDITOR:
By definition, meaningful eval-
uation of faculty teaching ablli.
ties can be accomplished only
by those who are being taught.
Any other observer's judgment
has questionable probative value.
Hence the ASB's decision last
Fall to commence such a survey
flagged a glimmer of enlighten-
ment, yet undefined, but with
the central realization that each
student has a vested interest
in the quality of education he
receives at CLC.
The effect of the evaluation
will be to encourage and compli-
ment many faculty members and
motivate re - examination by
others. This is a significant step
forward. The dismal fact how-
ever is that the approach is
fatally idealistic. Two groups
of faculty members will be un-
affected by the evaluation: (1)
those who shrug student judg-
ment as immature and therefore
irrelevant, and (2) those who in
fact are incapable of achieving
competency.
The loophole was caused by
the ASB's philosophy of faculty
evaluation announcement where-
in it was made clear that since
the survey was a student work-
product it could not be used
by the College when reflecting
on matters of promotion, ten-
ure, and contract renewal. More
explicitly, ASB leaders are say-
ing that teaching ability in the
classroom is irrelevant to the
question of faculty membership
and status.
At first blush the position
seems illogical because the in-
terests of the College could not
possibly be served by ignoring
teaching ability when faculty sta-
tus issues are decided. How-
ever, the point to be made from
the illustration is that the posi-
tion is entirely logical with stu-
dent goals. In last Fall's Stu-
dent Statement of Purpose the
leaders said "We seriously ques-
tion whether at California Luth-
eran College we can be or
should be a community of com-
mon purpose, direction or spir-
it." The scope of that state-
ment is unknown but the cen-
tral theme is obvious: total in-
dependence.
Shrouded in the "inherent
rights" theory every initiative
and "railroad resolution" com-
ing out of the Senate seeks to
refine that goal. The gavel and
Robert's Rules of Order have
become a magical well-spring
of power alienating the ASB from
the early established goals and
spirit of California Lutheran Col-
lege. No longer is the quality
of education at the head of the
priority list with student lead-
ers, rather it is the vogue stam-
pede for student political power.
It cannot be over emphasized
that student political power is
essentially an irrelevant issue
for student leaders to Insist on
refining and defining. Gover-
nance of CLC was established
at the outset by the owners and
founders of the institution and
submission to that scheme be-
came contractually binding at
the time of matriculation.
The ASB is in a unique pos-
ition to articulate constructive
criticism and plans for amelior-
ative action. No one else in
the institution has the same in-
sight to understanding education,
al shortcomings. The quality of
education received is a vested
interest of every student and he
has a right to effective represen-
tation in the Senate to seek those
goals. That is the spirit of CLC.
The Senate's arid ritual of mean,
ingless form has existed long
enough. The time is ripe for
relevant, responsible action.

My Philosophy professor told us today
that writing articles for the "Echo,; is
alright, but that what we should be doing
is doing!
So I implore you (since I respect Dr.
Kuethe's opinion very much), go out and do!
And here I am, Harry Hypocrite, writing yet
another article for the official student
newspaper of California Lutheran College.
What am I saying? Can you hear me? Have
you heard me in the past?
Maybe McLuhan was right and the printed
word is dead (recall the obituaries of last
weeks paper, the "Death Rattle"). But I
can't afford Marshall's methods of mixed
media, and drama similar the Abbie Hoffman's
takes someone who has very little at stake.
So I write ludicrous articles for the
radical Rag.
Back at the end of the first paragraph,
I told you that you should be doing. Doing
what? Perhaps if you bought squeaky ball
point pens so I knew that you moved. Perhaps
you could smile--not just a plastic make-up
smile, but the real thing—with teeth and
everything. Maybe you could lie about in
the grass, and I could see you and say "Oh,
may I join you and will watch the Earth turn
together." We could even chuckle a little
at our situation, if just for a moment.
But you all look like so many audio-
animatronic marvels, rushing about in your
own supra-logical stupors. Every action seem
to have been programmed into your minds by
some Imperial Wizard. The only Imperial
Wizard I know would much rather you be
yourselves !
Now that I've alienated the entire Student
Body of this school, I begin toning down all
of these things — trying to turn it into some
sort of crude joke that you can bless with
a nervous laugh and move quickly on. Maybe
its because I have a hot temper that I say
these things, out right now I'm as rational
as a./ irrational being can be.
So here ends the article. And here
begins the crude joke.
Net even a nervous laugh?
TAGGART OUT-TENNIES
On Sunday, February 8, Mr. Michael
Taggart won the Winter Round Robin Doubles
Tournament in Ojai. Mr. Taggart, one of the
better known members of the English Dept.,
is in charge of the CLC Tennis Team.
This is the sixth tournament that he has
been in since coming to CLC. Of those
six, he has won four and come in second
in two.
In the tournament in Ojai, there were
nineteen entries. Mr. Taggart went through
eighteen rounds pla>ing seventy-two games,
sixty-six of which he won making him the
winner of the tournament.
I would like to congratulate Mr. Taggart
on his win and to wish him luck on his
future tournaments. Go in there and out-

Lenten-Passover Fast
The Lenten-Passover Fast began Tuesday, Feb. 17,
with a meeting of those participating at CLC. Although
the Fast is in conjunction with various nation-wide
fasts sponsored by the Fellowship of Reconciliation
and Clergy and Laymen Concerned About Vietnam,
its focus and purpose at CLC is not orte, but many.
From the discussion on Tuesday these different
facets were discussed. The actual fasting is a private
matter in regards to the extent, duration and prag-
matic nature of the fast. On this level the Fast is an
individual, private expression. On another level the
Fast is a community expression of concern, thought
and searching. For the duration of the Fast, Feb. 17
to April 27, a weekly noon rap on Tuesdays will take
place on the lawn by the tennis courts. Brother
Juniper contributed song and poetry to the session
last Tuesday and as the atmosphere is free any
form of personal expression is invited. The nature
of any personal fasting is not involved in the dis-
cussion, so everyone is welcome whether fasting or
not. A third purpose is to take some form of action
In addition to fasting and discussion. This mav
be financial help to agencies concerned with pov-
erty, hunger, Black freedom, and personal freedom
with regards to the draft, or voicing our opinion
to the government, or increasing the involvement
of people here with the daily reality of the war
and hunger in the world, or considering provnhn
draft advice on this campus.
It is particularly appropriate that this Fast should
occur during Lent and. the Passover, both times
of reflection and personal commitments toward ac-
tion. The fast has manifold dimensions, but its
basis is concerned people seeking solutions and
means of personal expression to actualize their
commitments.

John Page Shumate of the United States
Department of State will lecture at the
California Lutheran College Union Building
lounge on Monday, February 23, at 4:20
p.m. The public is invited to attend.
Shumate, who has served in the Diplo-
matic Service as a Foreign Service Officer
since April, 1957, will speak on the opera-
tions of the Department of Latin America.
Currently, he is on a one-year area studies
program in Latin American Affairs at the
University of Southern California. His past
assignments have included Special Assistant
to the U.S. Ambassador to Peru, 1961-62;
Chief, Peruvian Affairs, Department of State,
Washington, D.C., 1967-69; and Political
Advisor to President Nixon's Special Envoy
to Peru, 1969.
Shumate comes to the CLC campus as
a part of the lecture program of the Latin
American Studies Program at CLC. This
program is the result of a three-year coop-
erative arrangement with the University
of Southern California.
Established at CLC in 1967 through a
federal grant, Latin American Studies be-
came an undergrauate major in April, 1969.
For two years, the Lutheran Church in
America has given a total of $9,000 in
grants so that the program could continue
to offer a wide range of activities for the
students at CLC, These funds have enabled
the program to bring distinguished Latin
Americanists to lecture on the CLC cam-
pus, to institute a series of symposia held
at; USC where CLC students are able to
meet USC graduate and international stu-
dents, and to subsidize summer studies
for CLC students in Cuernavaca, Mexico.
The University of Southern California has
contributed graduate scholarships in Latin
American Studies in the amount of $3,000
each to two CLC graduating seniors. USC
lias donated the services of Dr. Kenneth
F. Johnson, Chairman of Latin American
Studies, as Chief Consultant to the pro-
gram at CLC.
This intensified Latin American Studies
Program has had the projected goal of
rechanneling the predominant Scandinavian.
American emphasis' of the college curri-
culum to one which realizes minority sit-
uations such as faced by Latin, Mexican,
and Black Americans. In concentrating on
an underdeveloped area of the world, Latin
American courses seek to dispell the mis-
conceptions and biases concerning the em-
erging peoples.
Area and ethnic studies are rapidly be-
coming integral parts of the intensive cur-
riculum patterns of contemporary college
life. CLC is attempting to implement such
an approach through its Latin American
Studies Program.

1 NEWSPAPER?
Vol. 9, No. 18
of the Mountclef Echo, The official news publication of the Associated Student Body
of California Lutheran College, Thousand Oaks, California 91360.
February 20, 1970
Dear Phil :
I have learned that you are resigning as
as President of the Associated Students and
that you will be leaving the campus for other
concerns.
I want you to know that I am grate-
ful for your past service to California
Lutheran. This does not mean to say that
I have approved of every strategem or is-
sue which the student leadership has raised.
However, it is the measure of you that you
have acted in the best spirit of student
leadership by posing the essential questions.
I hope that events will lead you to
reconsider and that you will be able to
finish the term.
With every good wish
take precedence over God. I wish you well.
Then it's signed and she adds a p.s.
Dear Mr. Ware, now that you have defeated a grand old man
to satisfy your lust for power, who should feel guilty, he or you?
I really don't know why I read that. But it's a letter from a
constituent. I don't mean that all constituents are like the lady
that wrote this letter, but I don't think she's that abnormal.
This is something that we weigh very heavily here at CLC.
The fact that we have a constituency seems to put an awful
lot of doubting in them. It seems that everything we do here, the
decisions we make, all seem to go back to what the constituency
thinks about it, what it will say, what effect it will have on them.
I guess our worry is that, how we have to have that constituency
because that's where our money comes from. Have to have
that money.
So the question comes up, what is the role of the church in
higher education today? Do they have a role? The answer just
might be that maybe they don't have a role anymore in higher
education. I remember one professor here at CLC in one meeting.
He said that we just couldn't afford to do anything innovative here
at CLC. We just couldn't do that. Everything liad to be tried and
tested somewhere else. Everything had to be a well-proven fact,
something acceptable to everyone, before it could exist here at
CLC. Now what that professor was really saying was that CLC
will always be mediocre, that CLC is destined for mediocrity.
Let me ask the question again. If CLC is destined for medio-
crity should it exist? Is there a role for the church in higher
education today?
If you should ask the question of why does the church enter into
higher education, what do they expect to get out of it. That's a
difficult question to answer. I imagine that everybody that has
asked himself that question comes up with a different answer.
One of them might be that maybe they do it because they want a
secure place to spend their time, a place where we don't have
riots or we don't have the people who smoke pot. Maybe that's
why. Or maybe they want a place where they can define what an
education is supposed to be and can control the type of education
that their young people get. Or maybe, just maybe, maybe they
have another thought as to why they enter into higher education.
Maybe they don't even realize it themselves. Maybe it is a respon.
sibility that this school and all church schools somehow to
educate that constituency. Maybe the whole cycle can be easily
reversed. Maybe we shouldn't just sit here and say let the con.
stituency decide and that's what we'll do. Maybe young people
have a responsibility to liberalize the church, to liberalize
the constituency. And if they fail to do so, just maybe they
shouldn't exist. So then the question is immediately asked
what role could the church have in higher education?
I'd like to read you Resolution Number 1 passed by students
of the American Lutheran Church Conference. It reads like this:
Whereas the colleges and universities of the American Lutheran
Church exist for the education of the student.
And whereas the education received at that institution must be
relevant education of high quality.
Therefore be it resolved that each student and student body
collectively develop freedom of inquiry both within and without
the classroom.
Proceed upon the effort in fulfilling the academic require-

Phil Reitan's Speech
I find myself a little bit frightened. Frightened I guess maybe
because I don't have a manuscript. Maybe frightened because this
is my last chance to say something to you. Or just maybe because
I feel like there's a lot that needs to be said and not enough time
to figure out how to say it.
I brought a letter here. It was written to William Ware, last
year's ASB President. It reads like this:
Dear President Ware:
Enclosed is a copy of the letter we sent to President Olson.
Dear President Olson:
Adam Clayton Powell should not have been allowed to speak at
California Lutheran College. His perversion towards God is well-
known. His mouth speaks black and his words steal souls. He
knows no god but lust. The young are vulnerable to just such
quackery. Your reputation was denied and rebuked after his
lecture. Surely God knows you deny Him when you defy His
commandment, "Thous shalt not know other gods before me."
What can you do now? I don't know. Student power should nol
( Continued from page 1)
ments.
This to student government is basic. More, of course, freedom
from administration control, pressure, and infringement upon his
life and rights especially in the aspect of morality.
More towards a direct line of communication with the governing
board of control.
I asked for this chance to talk with you today, I guess because
I wanted a chance to explain why I quit school last Tuesday.
Maybe to begin I could go back to the speech I gave first quarter
here in chapel. I said this, "It seems to me it's more deadly
to just take trite of the American institutional life that it could
in four years have that automatic passport to the blessings of
the American enterprise for you see that sheepskin doesn't pro-
vide the key for a world inhabited by the Viet Cong or the South
Vietnamese or for that matter the black man. I guess in a way
I felt that if I graduated from here I'd be doing just that. I
would be just kind of accepting that ex-sheepskin as the automa.
tic passport without really having grasped myself, without really
knowing what I really wanted to do, without really knowing what
was fulfillment for me. There's a time for each of us so we
really need to search oursleves. Our education has to become a
very soul-searching experience, something that completely returns
ourselves inward searching after the answers to why. Why am
I here? Where am I going? What am I gaining? So much of educa-
tion just seems to be reading the text, memorizing a few key
parts, going and taking the tests and then readily forgetting
them. I look at students here at CLC. So many of them are
exactly the same people when they graduate as they were when
they came in. Somehow four years at an institution and they've
never really been forced to take a close look at themselves and
the role they take and need to play as a citizen of the world.
I would hope that educaton here would be a soul-searching ex-
perience where every individual could become different. I would
hope that it could cause students to really realize their potential
for self-cultivation, for self direction, for self-understanding.
I would hope that the institution could spur creativity. I would
hope that it would challenge people to be innovative. I wish it to
be truly experimental orientated. I guess that I wish that diversity
could exist here so that people would not be told that they're just
not part of the CLC family. And I guess I also wish that an
education would do more than just first cause you to look at
yourself, that it would also cause you to look really deeply at
the world in which you exist. I wish it would really cause people to
come to grips with what it really means to be a citizen of the
world. I very much wish that the school could be a real credit to
the community surrounding it. I would hope that the school could
really give a service to the poverty areas, service to the Mexican.
Americans that live over in Moorpark andSimiand Fillmore. And
I wish that we could truly be a community; not just told that we are
one but one where we really feel a very vital role here, a real
need for our existence, and a real part in our educational life.
And it seems to me that that must be just what Christian educa-
tion should be. It really draws people to radiate that kind of love
for all mankind.
When I spoke the first time in chapel I started it like this,
"Senator Fulbright, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee,
once said, *To criticize one's country is to do it a service and
pay it a compliment. It is a service because it makes for the
country to do better than it is doing. It is a compliment because
It evidences a belief that the country can do better than it is
doing. Criticism may embarrass the country in the short run, but
it strengthens its hand in the long run. It may destroy consensus
on policy while expressing a consensus of values.' "As I said
then I think the statement also applies to colleges, making it
read like this. To criticize one's college is to do it a service and
pay it a compliment. It is a service because it makes for the
college to do better than it is doing. It is a compliment because
it demonstrates a belief that the college can do better than it has
been doing. Criticism may embarrass the college, the administra-
tors, in the short run, but strengthen their hand in the long run. It
may destroy a consensus of policy while expressing a consensus
of values.
I would hope that you people would be critical. I hope that I can
be critical. I hope that together we can be critical of ourselves, be
critical of institutions, be critical of our country and the problems
that exist in the world. But not only be critical, but be active
in making change, to really work toward solving the problems
within ourselves and in our country.
I've spent three and a half years now here at CLC. And they
have been meaningful years for me but I need to go somewhere
else. I hope to find something just a little bit more fulfilling for
me now. I thank this school very much for the three and a half
years. I feel like I've made a lot of friends that really are beyond
a value. I wish you all the very best.
1970's: Time To
Wake Up -Excerpts
By John W. Gardner, Chairman
The Urban Coalition Action Council
As delivered at
The National Press Club
Washington, D.C.
December 9, 1959
As we enter the 1970's there are many curious
aspects of our situation, but none more strange than
our state of mind. We are anxious but immobilized.
We know what our problems are, but seem incapable
of summoning our will and resources to act.
We see the brooding threat of nuclear warfare. Wfe
know our lakes are dying, our rivers growing filthier
daily, our atmosphere increasingly polluted. We are
aware of racial tensions that could tear the nation
apart. We understand that oppressive poverty in the
midst of affluence is intolerable.. Wt' see that our cities
are sliding ^toward disaster.
Ahd'these are not problems that -step at our borders.
The problems of nuclear warfare, of population, of
TU>0
the environment are impending planetary disasters.
We are in trouble as a species.
But we are seized by a kind of paralysis of the will.
It is like a waking nightmare.
I proposed that as we enter the new decade we
make a heroic effort to alter both our mood and our
state of inactivity. Let 1970 be a year of renewal,
and during that year let us give our institutions and
ourselves a jolting reappraisal and overhaul.
Let me say a word about private non-profit activi-
ties in general — cultural, civic, social service, reli-
gious, scientific and charitable organizations. Some
of the worst known examples of organizational decay
are in this category. And one of the gravest agents of
decay is the sense of moral superiority that afflicts
such institutions. Sad to say, people who believe that
they are doing a noble thing are rarely good critics of
their own efforts.
As we enter the 1970»s, all such high-minded or-
ganizations should re-examine their performances
with unsparing honesty. Let them ask whether they
have spent too much time congratulating themselves.
Let them ask what possible difference it would make
it their organization went out of existence. Let them
ask whether they are dabbling with a problem that
calls for a massive assault. Let this be the year in
which they ask tough-minded outside critics to work
with them in a no-holds-barred reappraisal of what
they are doing.
Now let's have a look at the person whom prac
tically no one ever attacks, the person who holds
the highest title a free society can award: citizen.
What has be done to give one confidence in self,
government? Not as much as one would like. Too
many take a free ride as far as any distinctive ef-
fort to serve the common good. Too many are apathe-
tic, self-absorbed and self-serving.
In a vital society the citizen has a role that goes
far beyond duties at the ballot box. He must man the
party machinery, support social and civic reform,
provide adequate funds, criticize, demand, expose
corruption and honor leaders who lead.
One thing the citizen can do — must do — is to re-
ject fiercely and consistently all politicians who ex-
ploit fear and anger and hatred for their own pur-
poses. He cannot rid himself entirely of these emo-
tions. But he can rid himself of politicians who live
by manipulating them. Such leaders will not move him
toward a better future.
For example, pitting white ethnic minorities against
black and brown minorities can only bring sorrow to
both; and the politician who pursues that strategy
should be rejected by both.
Polls have repeatedly shown that when all is said
and done, most Americans do want to see our prob-
lems solved, including the problems of poverty, race
and the quality of life. They do want to see justice
done.
Another thing the citizen can do is to throw tne
weight of public opinion against those in the private
sector who are unwilling to work toward the solution
of our common problems. They should find out what
major firms in their area are equal opportunity em-
ployers. Which firms are shirking on that front? Let
those firms know that their failure is recognized.
What firms are contributing most to pollution? Let
them feel the weight of public disapproval.
Too many Americans have come to equate the cri-
sis in the cities with racial tensions — and they are
tired of the race problem and wish it would go away.
It won't go away, but if it did, the urban crisis
would remain. Discrimination, in some measure,
touches most urban issues in this country. But such
critically important issues as housing, manpower
and income for the poor deeply involve wnite as well
as black. And one cannot blame racial tensions for
our monumental traffic jams, for the inexorable ad.
vance of air and water pollution, for the breakdown
in administration of the courts, for the shocking in-
efficiency and often corruption of municipal govern-
ment.
It is true that when urban systems malfunction,
minorities and the poor are hit first and hardest, but
the problem is deeper and broader and ultimately
affects us all.
Make no mistake about it, the urban problem is a
deep-running crisis in the management of complexity
and change.
In closing, let me remind you of an important
thing to understand about any institution or social
system, whether it is a nation or a city, a corpora-
tion of a Federal agency: it doesn't move unless you
give it a solid push. Not a mild push— a solid jolt.
If the push is not administered by vigorous and pur-
poseful leaders, it will be administered eventually
by an aroused citizenry or by a crisis. Systematic-
inertia is characteristic of every human institution,
but overwhelmingly true of this nation as a whole.
Our system of checks and balances dilutes the thrust
of positive action. The competition of interests inherent
in our pluralism acts as a brake on concerted action.
The system grinds to a halt between crisis. Madison
designed it in such a way that it simply won't move
without vigorous leadership. I've often wondered why
he didn't say so. Perhaps, having in mind his bril-
liant contemporaries, it just never occurred to him
that the day might come when leadership would be
lacking.
One final word — I said earlier that we perceive
the dangers confronting us but are seized with a
paralyzing passivity. I believe that passivity is cur-
able. I believe that we can recover our power to act
decisively — as individual citizens and an a nation.
All It takes is money, guts and leadership.

Career Fellowships
WASHINGTON, January 20—
The Corporation for Public
Broadcasting announced today
that public radio and television
stations throughout the country
have begun accepting applica-
tions for 1970 CPB Career Fel-
lowships.
Fellowship recipients will
spend a year studying and work-
ing at stations in any phase of
broadcasting — from administra-
tion to production. Up to 18
Fellows are expected to be cho-
sen to take part in the $240,000
project.
The twin goals of the project
are to attract capable young peo.
pie and persons in mid-career
into public broadcasting and to
give them initial experience.
What is called for is interest in
non . commercial communica-
tions, either in the creative or
administrative areas, rather than
prior experience.
Details of the program and
applications should be obtained
from public radio and television
stations. Each station licensee
will screen its applicants and
submit one application to CPB.
The Corporation and its Advisory
Committee on Career Develop,
ment will then review all appli-
cations and select candidates for
the awards.
The fellowship year of train,
ing will begin on June 1 and will
include seminars for the Fellows
in July and the following March.

Platform and Program
What We Want
What We Believe
1. We want freedom. We want power to determine the destiny of our
Black Community.
We believe that black people will not be free until we are able to deter-
mine our destiny.
2. We want full employment for our people.
We believe Ihnl the federal govcmmcnl is responsible and obligated to
give every man employment or ;i guaranteed income. We believe thai if
I he while American businessmen will not give full employment, then I he
means of production should be taken from tbe businessmen and placed in
the community so that l he people « »l l he ((immunity can organize and cm
plov all of its people and give a high standard of living
3. We want an end to the robbery by the CAPITALIST of our Black
Community.
We believe that this racist government has robbed us and now we are
demanding the overdue debt ok forty acres and two mules. Forty acres
and two mules was promised 100 years ago as restitution for slave labor
and mass murder of black people. We will accept the payment in currency
which will be distributed to our many communities. The Germans are now
aiding the Jews in Israel for the genocide of the Jewish people. The Ger-
mans murdered six million Jews. The American racist has tafcen part in
the slaughter of over fifty million black people; therefore, we feel that this
is a modest demand that we make.
4. We want decent housing, fit for shelter of human beings.
We believe that if the white landlords will not give decent housing to
our black community, then the housing and the land should be made into
cooperatives so that our community, with government aid. can build and
make decent housing for its people.
5. We want education for our people that exposes the true nature of this
decadent American society. We want education that teaches us our true
history and our role in the present-day society.
We believe in an educational system that will give to our people a knowl-
edge of self. If a man does not have knowledge of himself and his position
in society and the world, then he has little chance to relate to anything
else.
6. We want all black men to be exempt from military service.
We believe that Black people should not be forced to fight in the mili-
tary service to defend a racist government that does not protect us. We
will not fight and kill other people of color in the world who, like black
people, are being victimized by the white racist government of America.
We will protect ourselves from the force and violence of the racist police
and the racist military, by whatever means necessary.
7. We want an immediate end to POLICE BRUTALITY and MURDER
of black people.
We believe we can end police brutality in our black community by or-
ganizing black self-defense groups that are dedicated to defending our
black community from racist police oppression and brutality. The Second
Amendment to the Constitution of the United States gives a right to bear
arms. We therefore believe that all black people should arm themselves
for self-defense.
6. We want freedom for all black men held in federal, state, county
and city prisons and jails.
We believe that all Dlack people should be released from the many
jails and prisons because they have not received a fair and impartial trial.
9. We want all black people when brought to trial to be tried in court by
a jury of their peer group or people from their black communities, as
defined by the Constitution of the United States.
We believe that the courts should follow the United States Constitution
so that black people will receive fair trials. The 14th Amendment of the
U.S. Constitution gives a man a right to be tried by his peer group. A peer
is a person from a similar economic, social, religious, geographical, en-
vironmental, historical and racial background. To do this the court will be
forced to select a jury from the black community from which the black
defendant came. We have been, and are being tried by all-white juries
that have no understanding of the "average reasoning man" of the black
community.
10. We want land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice and peace.
And as our major political objective, a United Nations-supervised plebis-
cite to be held throughout the black colony in which only black colonial
subjects will be allowed to participate, for the purpose of determining the
will of black people as to their national destiny.
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one
people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with
another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and
equal station to which the laws of nature and nature's God entitle them, a
decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare
the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal;
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights;
that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to
secure these rights, governments are instituted among men. deriving their
lust powers from the consent of the governed; that, whenever any form of
government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people
to alter or to abolish it. and to institute a new government, laying its
foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as
to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Pru-
dence, indeed will dictate that governments long established should not
be changed for light and transient causes; and. accordingly, all experience
hath shown, that mankind arc more disposed to suffer, while evils are
suHeiablc. than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they
are accustomed. But. when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pur-
suing invariant) the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under ab-
solute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such govern-
ment, and to provide new guards for their future security.
EARTHPAY
TEhCH-lN
The Caltech Environmental Action Council is plan-
nlng a Teach-in on the environment for Earthday,
April 22. This will synchronize with the National
Teach-in, sponsored by Senator Nelson (D-Wis.) and
Representative McCloskey (R-Cal.), which aims to
bring students across the country into the battle
for a cleaner world. We at Caltech are offering a
poster contest with a first prize of $50 for the best
poster on the theme of an Earth Day Celebration,
a day of joyous thanks for the blessings we still
have, a day of discussion and learning about the
problems we face and possible solutions, and a day
of pledging ourselves to the development of a true
ecological balance between man and the other citi-
zens of the world, the plants, animals, and condi-
tions that make life possible. We welcome help and
suggestions from any other members of the com-
munity, especially the professionals and workers in
the field of ecology and the other campuses plan-
ning Teach-ins. Entries and letters may be sent to
CEAC, California Institute of Techology, Pasadena,
Cal., 91109. The deadline is February 20, 1970.
To the art instructors:
This contest may interest some of your students.
I hope that you will post it in some visible place.
Some of our people have become rather excited about
the mixed-media possibilities (junk, Rand McNally
maps, etc.,) though all entries should be suitable
for phtoreproduction.

I first met Phil Reitan last year in
a Political Science class that we had to-
gether. I had just transferred to CLC as
a Junior, and I didn't know too many stu-
dents here. Phil, and Dave Lewis, were two
of the first that I met and got to know.
I was undergoing an attitude change at
the time, a change in attitudes about pol-
itics, morals, life philosophies, the
whole bit. And quite often in that poly
sci class — and often against my will — I
would find myself agreeing with him on all
sorts of things.
I had hoped that, when I became editor
of the paper, Phil and I would be able to'
work together to impoeve communications
between the students and their stuent
government. . .but now he's gone, friends,
he's gone, and I don't think this col-
lege yet realizes what it's lost. A
man who refused sera to compromise his
beliefs and principles in the face of in-
tense administrative pressure. A man who
had hoped to give his fellow students a
greater say in their own governance and
their own life at CLC. A man who, I feel,
tried desperately to give the students
of CLC an atmosphere in which they could
truly grow as Christians and as humans.
A man who found that he was no longer
growing here, and who knew that as much
as he wanted to stay, he couldn't.
* * *
It has come to my attention that peo —
pie are starting to actually read the
Echo! It could be because things are hap-
pening on campus and the paper is report-
ing them. It could be because people are
airing their opinions about campus happen-
ings. It could be because they have noth-
ing else to do. It could be all these.
Whatever the explanation may be for this
unusual state of affairs, I certainly
hope that it will continue. Keep reading.
Keep writing.
I'd like to remind everyone at this
juncture of the meeting for the Echo this
Sunday night at 7:30 in the Mountclef
study room. Staff members are asked to be
there. And if you'd like to helg with
the Echo, why don't you come on in and let
us know. As a matter of fact, if you'd
only like to find otit what's happening with
the paper, drop on by. We welcome all sug-
gestions and all help.
* * *
I spend a lot of time sitting in the
cafeteria because 1) I'd rather eat there
than in the Echo office; 2) I enjoy wat-
ching people walking by to meals; 3) and
while I sit and eat and watch people, some
of them stop and give me articles and/or
their opinions about the previous week ' s
issue. For example, this last week quite
a few students had stopped to inform me.
of their feelings about the two articles
in Pravda written by A.C.I .D. (Alumni
Coalition for Improved Directions) . Evi-
dently, the things they had to say about
CLC and the way its run and the students '
role in its manning touched a sensitive
nerve. Personally, I didn't agree with
too much of what they had to say, but
they DID have something to say, and I wan-
ted to give them a chance to voice their
opinions. I also want to give their
"loyal opposition" a chance to say their
piece. So a reminder: letters to the
editor are welcome. We can't print them
if they're not signed, but otherwise
we will put them it. Did you agree with
ACID? Say so. You didn't? Tell us! In
print.
* * *
Oh, and one other thing: the front page
spread on Dean/Student relations, Presi-
dent Olson's rdther frank reaction, and
Dave Lewis's even franker re-reaction was
not a one-shot deal. There's a LOT more
to the story of administrative arm-twis-
ting than has been exposed. Keep watching*
future issues of the Echo for more. And
more. And more.

It's an Idea!
Let's put some "life" into life insurance
That's what Lutheran students are
thinking about . . . life. What's ahead.
What good things are going to happen.
A career. A wife. A home and family.
And, believe it or not, life insurance
from Aid Association for Lutherans is
very much a living thing. First, it's
the only guaranteed form of savings.
You set your financial goal and com-
plete it even if you become physically
disabled. The money you put aside in
life insurance can come in handy to
help make a down payment on a home,
buy a new car, provide an umbrella for
a rainy day . . . even help send your
own son or daughter to college. But
the time to start is now when rates are
the lowest they'll ever be for you, and
your good health makes you insurable.
It's an idea! And the idea man is your
AAL representative . . . the man who
tells the life insurance story the way
it is . . . for the living. He's a fellow
Lutheran and dedicated to common
concern for human worth.

ROBERT SCHEER
Bob Scheer received his BA in Economics and
Political Science from City College of New York,
and was appointed a Maxwell Fellow in Public Admin-
istration at the Maxwell School of Government, Syra-
cuse University, where he studied for one year.
Then followed two additional years of graduate work
at the University of California, Berkeley, where he
was a Teaching Assistant in Economics, and a
Fellow in the Center for Chinese Studies. He sub.
sequently taught American Government at City College
of New York.
Mr. Scheer visited Castro's Cuba in 1960 and co-
authored with Professor Maurice Zeitlin, CUBA:
TRAGEDY IN OUR HEMISPHERE, which was pub-
lished by Grove Press in 1961. A revised and ex-
tended version entitled CUBA: AN AMERICAN TRA-
GEDY was published by Penguin Books in 1962.
He became Foreign Editors of RAMPARTS MAG-
AZINE in 1965, was appointed Managing Editor in
1966, and Vice President of the Corporation in
1967. In his capacity as editor of RAMPARTS, Bob
travelled and reported widely throughout the world.
In spring of 1965 and again in 1966, he travelled to
Southeast Asia, touring Vietnam and Laos. On his
second trip, he also visited Cambodia at the invitation
of Prince Sihanouk, whom he interviewed. Mr. Scheer's
findings on Southeast Asia were published in a special
report to the Center for the Study of Democratic
Institutions in Santa Barbara. This report, HOW
THE UNITED STATES GOT INVOLVED IN VIET-
NAM is now in its sixth printing, and it is the
Center's best seller with over 135,000 copies sold
and distributed.
Bob Scheer toured Egypt and Israel in 1967 and
was the first American reporter to visit Egypt
during the period immediately following the six day
war. His reports appeared in RAMPARTS, and are
a part of a RAMPARTS book prepared for McGraw-
Hill. Scheer worked with RAMPARTS Executive Edi-
tor Warren Hinckle in on a study of the Vietnam
Lobby, slated for publication by the New American
Library in the Spring, 1968.
He has been active in the New Politics move-
ment, and tyas a member of the Board of the
National Committee for New Politics. He was a can.
didate in the Democratic Primary for the California
7th Congressional District. At the election in June,
1966, he received 45 per cent of the vote in an
unexpectedly tight race with the incumbent.
The California Lutheran College basketball team
has a tough assignment this weekend. Coach Bob
Campbell's Kingsmen host a rugged Azusa-Paclfic
outfit Saturday in an 8:00 p.m. contest.
Azusa-Pacific, 20-5 on the year, already holds
two victories over Cal Lutheran, 92-61 at the Red.
lands Tournament and 90-70 in regular season com-
petition. The Azusans are led by Dennis Dickens
who is averaging 24 points a game and Larry
Vanzant who has hauled down over 11 rebounds
a game.
Co-captain Tim Iverson, though hampered by a
knee injury, still leads CLC in scoring. The 5-11
junior has scored 292 points in 20 games for a
14.6 average. He has hit on 116 of 271 field goals
and 60 of 88 free throws.
Center Wayne Erickson continues to lead in re-
bounding with 204 caroms in 23 games for an
8.8 average. The 6-7 sophomore is second in scor-
ing, averaging 9 points a game.
As a team, the Kingsmen are shooting 40 per
cent from the floor and 61 per cent from the line
to average 65 points a game. Their record now
stands at 5-18.
In last weekend's action, Cal Lutheran dropped
a pair of games, losing to La Verne 63-61 and UC
San Diego 55-45. Against La Verne, Erickson pulled
down 17 rebounds, his high for the year.
Coach Bob Pitman's freshman team won their
fourth straight game over the weekend, defeating La
Verne 110-95, before losing to UC San Diego 74-69.
The Knaves are now 6-13 on the year.
The Kingsmen finish their season this week with
games against UC San Diego (Feb. 24) and Westmont
(Feb. 26). The finale against Westmont will be an
8:00 p.m. home contest.

The Kingsmen brought their season record to
6-7-1 with a 36-6 win over the UCLA Frosh team
last week. UCLA put only four men on the mat
against the Kingsmen. Winning for CLC was Raul
Rubalacava at 118 lbs. and Ken Wright at 150 lbs.
The other two wins went to UCLA.
The 69-70 season will climax this Saturday the
28th at Claremont College where the District Tour-
nament will be held. The Kingsmen have won the
District Tournament three years running and hope
to retain the championship again this year. Many
of the injured wrestlers are returning and it is
believed that Captain Chuck Lagamma will be ready
for the competition this weekend. The proposed line-
up for the tournament is Rubalacava, Quientmeyer,
Haynes, Lagamma, Wright, Sowers, Lee, Lazaga,
Standerfer, and Kelly. Come out and support your
team! Wrestling begins at 10:00 a.m. Saturday and
will continue into the night.

CLC Baseball Preview
California Lutheran College baseball coach George
Engdahl would like to make the NAIA District III
Playoffs in his second year as pilot of the Kingsmen.
Engdahl will field a young (ID underclassmen) but
relatively experienced (10 lettermen) team this sea-
son. The Kingsmen take on an ambitious 32-game
schedule which includes games with Pacific 8 teams
UCLA and University of Washington, the Azusa Paci-
fie Tournament, and double-headers.
Only two men are gone from last year's building
team. All-District shortstop Larry Anderson and sec-
ond baseman Bob Fulenwider, who was drafted by the
St. Louis Cardinals, have graduated. A dozen veterans
return, along with a pair of outstanding junior college
transfers and seven freshmen.
If the Kingsmen are to make the playoffs, they will
have to come up with added pitching strength. Three
experienced pitchers are back, including senior Bruce
Thomas, junior Brock, and sophomore Tom Pete-
lin, Depth will have to come from junior Gene Pfrim-
mer, the only lefthander on the staff, sophomore
Ernie White and freshmen Harvey Sneed of Pacoima
and Bob Sprlngston of Glendora.
Catching should be a strong point as the Kings-
men are experienced and deep behind the plate. Jun-
ior college transfer Craig Dombey, who was All-
Conference at Glendale Community College in Phoe.
nix, has been impressive in early workouts. Fresh-
man Ed Copeland, who was AlLNorthern Bay League
at Hogan High School in Vallejo, provides depth at
catcher.

Replacing Anderson and Fulenwider in the Infield
may take some doing. Seniors Larry Peoples and
Randy Phares and freshman Mike Sheppard, who was
captain of John Burroughs High School in Burbank,
are working out at shortstop. Sophomore Ron Gold-
en and freshman Roger Shoop, an AU-Bay League
selection at Inglewood High School, are the leading
candidates at second base.
Junior Gary Stepan and freshman Kelly Fadler,
the leading hitter for Thousand Oaks High School in
1969 are at third base, while Kevin Woudenberg, a
transfer from Mesa Junior College in Phoenix, has
nailed down the first base position.
There are both quality and quantity in the outfield
as five sophomores are vying for the starting berths
Bob Bivin and Tom Turk have the edge In center and
right field respectively, John Stoddard has moved
from first base to left field, and Mark Olson has
moved out from catcher. Pitcher Tom Petelin will
also see action In the outfield, along with junior Randy
Moen and freshman Mark Taylor.
If Engdahl's "young veterans" come through as
expected, they may have a shot at the Disl.-ict Play-
The Kingsmen open their season February 13 at

Vol. 9, No. 19, of the Mountclef Echo, the official news publication of the Associated Student
Body of California Lutheran College, Thousand Oaks, California 91360
By Dennis Tobin
On Sunday, February 15, a
small (less than twenty) but re-
ceptive body of students gath-
ered in the CUB to hear the
Rev. Lester Kinsolving speak
on the "Population Explosion."
Kinsolving began his discussion
by quipping that the preceeding
week he spoke to "over 800"
in Texas and that the small
group was at least a "more
intimate" surrounding.
By way of personal introduc-
tion Kinsolving related his back-
ground and involvement in the
area of social concern. He men-
tioned his status as a member
of California's committee on pop-
ulation, which was the first state-
conducted survey on population
control, his participation as a
moderator and columnist for the
various mass media, and his
association with Cesar Chavez
and the United Farm Workers'
Unions.
The major portion of the pres-
entation was devoted to birth
control and legalized abortion
and their respective roles in
the controlling of over-popula-
tion. Kinsolving's knowledge and
involvement in the subject were
quite apparant by his articulate
and precise weavings of techni-
cal terminology with pointed and
classically simple analogies into
a fine and closely woven fabric
of illustration.
He caustically criticised those
exponents of the "papal victae"
which bans birth control and
abortion, noting that many of
these papal supporters were of
the "post menopause" group. He
was highly critical of those mem-
bers of the anti-abortion move-
ment which reject legal abortion
on the grounds that the fetus is
a living being and that at the
instant of conception it is an
individual life form. Kinsolving
noted that until the actual birth
of the fetus, the embryo was
in effect only "an appendage"
of the female with no higher
status than that of an arm or
a leg.
In criticising the "moment of
conception" believers, he rela-
ted an article in Reader's Di-
gest in which the fetus related
its daily existence up to the
time of its abortion. . .at which
time the now-defunct fetus states:
"Today mommy killed me. . ."
This prompted Kinsolving to men-
tion the logical sequal to that
article— "The Soliloquie of the
Unfulfilled Sperm," in which "the
sperm swims with its brothers
and sisters up life's stream. . ."
Kinsolving added that if the
embryo is truly a human being,
then it is only logical that the
sperm of the male is also one.
half of an individual living being.
While speaking on the methods'
of birth control Kinsolving dis-
cussed the "Pill" and contracep-
tives of the near future. He
mentioned a newly developed pill
which would be "implanted in
the arm or buttock" of the female
and which would be potent for up
to fifteen years. This "implant,"
according to Kinsolving, would be
removeable — under a doctor's
supervision — at any time the
female should desire fertility.
He later noted that he would,
if "the pill" should reach pro-
duction, have his daughter "im-
planted" so that she would be
free to determine her own lim.
itations without fear of being
"impregnated."
During this period of the pres.
entation Kinsolving quipped that
"the Pill is a contraceptive,
not an aphrodisiac." This was
in response to the common idea,
especially among college health
center officials, that the ". . .
distribution of the pill on the north
end of the campus will cause
fornication on the south end of
the campus. . ."
Kinsolving also criticised the
tax benefits given welfare reci-
pients. He believes that deduc-
tions should be given for the
first two children, but that af.
ter these there should be an
On Group Prayer
Many people criticize the
Christians for violating the
fllowing verse from Matthew:
". . .when thou prayest, enter
into thy closet, and when thou
hast shut thy door, pray to thy
Father which is in secret; and
thy Father which seeth in secret
shall reward thee openly."
After a few more verses
Matthew comes to the Lord's
prayer: "After this manner
therefore pray ye: Our Father
..." The Lord's prayer is re-
produced at another place in
the Bible; it's at Luke 11:2-4.
This brings up an important point
in Bible study. Since the same
prayer is printed in Matthew
and Luke, but not in Mark, then
the words come from Q, a book
of sayings which was used by
Matthew and Luke as a refer-
ence source in writing their Gos-
pels. Q is the first known book
of recorded sayings by Jesus.
The verses quoted in the top
paragraph appear no where else
in the Bible. As a saying of
Jesus its authorship is at least
questionable.
The dictionary definition of
prayer is: "an approach to deity
in word or thought; an earnest
request." Although it is not often
that Jesus does not practice his
preaching, apparently there is at
least one place. In the Last
Supper Jesus blesses the bread
in the presence of his disciples.
Next, look at the Lord's prayer
itself. "Our Father. . .give us
this day our daily. . .forgive us
our debts, as we forgive our
debtors. . .lead us not into. , .
deliver us from. . ." All the
pronouns are first person plural.
What person in his right mind
will say such a prayer when
he is alone.
The verse out of Matthew is
taken out of the three chapters
known as «*The Sermon on the
Mount." Jesus is speaking to
hundreds of people in the con.
text of Matthew's Gospel. In or.
der to say Matt. 6:6, Jesus must
pick one man out of the crowd,
and say this to him personally.
Who was picked out? Could it be
that the first manuscript of
Matthew had pronouns that re.
ferred to second person plural?
Could it refer to a group meeting
in a room? Read Matt. 6:5 & 6
in the RSV. The verses can be
interpreted in the plural. The
RSV is supposed to be revised
"compared with the most ancient
authorities." It would be noted
if the "you"" is singular.
Another thing. Matt. 6:1 in
KJV says, "Take heed that ye do
not your alms before men, to
be seen of them:. . ." Does this
mean that others should not see
you, or that you should not do it
to be seen? RSV savs, "Beware
assessment lor eacn additional
child. •
These were the more impor-
tant points of the formal pres-
entation and the floor was open-
ed for questions. Mr. Wolfe began
by noting, as Kinsolving has pre.
viously mentioned, that popula-
tion increases not liniearly but
rather that population increases
not linearly but rather geome-
trically, and that even if parents
had only two children this would
not greatly reduce the popula-
tion explosion. Kinsolving added
that this was true, but that it
was hoped that with some par-
ents choosing not to bear chll-
dren plus the normal death rate
some degree of equilibrim might
be attained. He agalnquippedthat
the idea of colonizing the planets
was no solution because each
spaceship would have its own
population crisis while it was
en route. The question and ans-
wer period continued a few more
minutes and then the group broke
up.
The Commissioner for Aca-
demic Affairs has worked very
hard to bring articulate, well-
informed and provocative speak-
ers to CLC this year. A little
support and interest would let
him know he hasn't wasted his
time and your money.
piety before
be seen by
of practicing your
men in order to
them;. . ."
Finally in Luke 11:1, 2 "And
it came to pass, that, as he was
praying in a certain place, when
he ceased, one of his disciples
said unto him, Lord, teach us
to pray as John also taught his
disciples.
"And he said unto them, When
ye pray, say, Our Father. . ."
You can see in that the first
passage, at least one of his
disciples was watching him pray.
In the second, you can see that
he is speaking to more than one
disciple, because "ye" is a
second person plural pronoun.
There is enough information here
to Imply that he is referring to
group praying.

Robert E. Moe, General Manager of the Coeur
d' Alene Summer Theatre, a muscial repertory com-
pany in Northern Idaho, will hold auditions in Thousand
Oaks the first week in April for singers, dancers,
actors, musicians and technicians who are interested
in joining the company for the 1970 season.
Moe, a high school teacher who lives at 320 West
Palizada, No. 3 in San Clemente, California, will
be traveling over the Western part of the United
States during the third and fourth weeks in March
in order to interview applicants for the highly-reputed
theatrical company that resides in Coeur de' Alene
each summer.
Anyone who is interested in applying should send
a resume to Moe before March 15 so that he can
schedule the auditions.
Four musicals — "Hello, Dolly!" "Oliver, ""Guys
and Dolls" and "Man of LaMancha" — will be pro.
duced in repertory from July 3 through September 6.
Rehearsals start June 15.
The 16 company members, who in the past years
have come from all parts of the United States,
receive room and board and a small salary for
their services.
The company members will find themselves working
with such fine musical comedy personnel as Tom
Nash, who is presently finishing his doctoral work
in theatre at the University of Florida; Valleda
Woodhall, ex.professional dancer who appeared in
the original London productions of "Brigadoon" and
"Oklahoma"; and William Marvin, musical director,
who lives and teaches in the Spokane area.
Said Moe, "This is the sixth year for repertory
summer theatre in Coeur d' Alene. Each year it has
become more and more successful. Last year the
group played to more than 6,000 people In the 190.
seat theatre."
Robert McLeod, who is a teacher in the Spokane
Valley and who is a member of the Coeur d» Alene
Community Theatre, is co-ordinator for the summer
project. He said, "Company members not only have
the opportunity to participate in a first-rate repertory
theatre but also to take advantage of the terrific
recreational activities that Coeur d' Alene has to
offer." McLeod adds, "The semi-professional direc
tors that are provided give company members a fine
opportunity for theatrical growth. Robert Moe, of
course, is a director of repute not only the North-
west but also in Southern California."
Alumni of Coeur d' Alene Summer Theatre who
are now In New York working professionally include
Jonn McEvoy, now with the Winged Victory Singers-
his wife, Suzanne Dundas; Jan Hantzsche, originally
from San Francisco; and Doug Houston.

Jerry Adler, producer of "Nobody Loves Flapping
Eagle" for Warner Bros., has called upon the Holly-
wood community to support the Indians on Alcatraz
Island in San Francisco Bay following a visit there
of two days and a night.
Admitting that his interest in Indian matters evolved
from his involvement in his newly completed pro-
duction of "Nobody Loves Flapping Eagle," Adler
urged all concerned members of the film industry
"to show faith in the Indian takeover of the island
and to. help wherever possible."
While Adler was on Alcatraz, Anthony Quinn, who
stars in "Flapping Eagle," visited the island to
voice his support of the Indian movement.
Adler and Quinn were given a detailed account
of the Indians' plans for developing Alcatraz by
Richard Oakes and Earl Livermore, the Indian lead-
ers. Their program includes using Alcatraz as a cen-
ter for native American studies, an American Indian
spiritual center, an Indian center of ecology, an
Indian training school and an American Indian museum.

Voting Age
SACRAMENTO — Six Republican Assemblymen
today introduced legislation which, if approved by
the voters, would lower the age of adulthood in
California from 21 to 19 years.
Led by Assemblyman John V. Briggs (R-Orange
and San Bernardino Counties), the bills introduced
by the six Republicans would amend the California
Constitution and related laws to make the age of
adulthood 19 years.
Joining Briggs as co-authors of this legislation
were Assemblymen George W. Milias (R-Gilroy),
Earle P. Crandall (R-San Jose), William Bagley
(R-San Rafael), Patrick D. McGee (R-Van Nuys)
and Frank Murphy Jr. (R.Santa Cruz).
One effect of the Briggs proposal would be to
lower the voting age to 19 years. The key differ-
ences between the Briggs package and earlier propo-
sals in this area are (1) the age would be lowered
to 19, not 18, and (2) the voting age could not be low-
ered without requiring the new voters to accept all
the responsibilities of adulthood.
Briggs last year carried a bill aimed solely at
lowering the voting age and testified at hearings of
the Assembly Elections Committee in favor of extend-
ing the franchise to younger citizens.
"We are now dealing with the broader question
of adulthood, because I don't believe we should treat
young people as adults on some matters and as
juveniles on others. We should not give them the right
to vote without requiring that they be fully responsible
for their actions," Briggs said.
"We shouldn't create special classes of citizen-
ship," the author said.
Briggs noted that nineteen is a more realistic
point at which to demand people act like adults and
to treat them as such than either 21 or 18.
"At 18 many people are still in high school,
living at home and dependent on their parents. At
19 almost everyone Is out of high school. Men
become eligible for the draft and many young people
marry, start families, and start work — paying
taxes just as adults do," Briggs said.
"The great majority of people believe that if we
lower the voting age, we should also lower the age
of responsibility. They see the responsibilities of
adulthood as the price a citizen pays for the vote.
I think by approaching the issue on this basis we
enhance its chances of passing because we broaden
its base of support.
"What we need is a broad re-examination of the
starting points for adult responsibilities. This is
the real question; voting is just a part of it," the
lawmaker pointed out.
As a constitutional amendment, the Briggs proposal
must pass the Legislature by a two-thirds margin in
both houses and be approved by the voters at the
November election.
"11 those who want to lower just the voting age and
those who oppose any lowering of the voting age will
take a new look at the question from this fresh per-
spective, I think there is a very good chance we can
get this on the ballot this year," Briggs predicted.

LOS ANGELES - U.S. senator ueorge Murphy,
R.Calif , made quite a favorable impression on a
young scholar from Oroville High School during
a recent Northern California trip.
Steve Howell, an honor student who covered an
informal news conference held by the Senator, wrote
In the Oroville Mercury-Register:
"Upon taling with and listening to the Senator for
just a little while, it was obvious he was extremely
knowledgeable about international, national and state-
wide problems of any consequence — Vietnam, the
Middle East crisis, U.S. - Communist relations, water
and air pollution, the national economic crisis, educa-
tion, welfare, and his proclamation to the President
declaring 14 counties in California disaster areas
as a result of the recent flooding."
+ + + + +
"Senator Murphy impressed me greatly because
— well, he was a regular sort of fellow. I mean,
living in Oroville I don't get to meet many famous
people and he didn't act like he was famous, just a
regular, plain human being. It was a pleasant sur-
prise.
LOS ANGELES — The Chairman of Califonuans
for Murphy said today record crowds indicated strong
grassroots support for U.S. Senator George Murphy
during a week-long tour of California.
"We are tremendously pleased by this early show-
ing of public support for Senator Murphy," said
R D Nesen, Camarillo. "His legislative record will
be placed before the people of California during
the months ahead in his re-election campaign. It is
an excellent chronicle of accomplishment."
The Senator said a number of times that he will
be a candidate for a second term in the U.S. Senate.
He repeated this statement during his trip throughout
California last week.
During the Lincoln Day week the Senator made
nine speeches — in the San Francisco Bay area,
the Northern Central Valley, Orange County, Los
Angeles County and in the AnteloDe Valley.
"At each appearance he attracted the biggest
ever audience for similar events," Nesen said.
"We think this demonstrates that the voters of Calif-
ornia from both major political parties are anxious
to express their high regard for Senator Murphy
Nesen quoted an article that appeared in the
Oroville Mercury-Register covering the Senators
Chico speech to the Butte County Republican Central
Committee. "Murphy was in good form and demon-
strated that he is fit for the campaign now starting
that will continue for nine long months. There seem-
ed to be a feeling that, running with Governor Reagan,
he will retain his seat in the Senate."
The San Mateo Times article started by pointing to a
turn-away crowd at a Burlingame Dinner sponsored by
the San Mateo County Republican Central Committee
and quoted Rep. Paul McCloskey, R-Calif., as saying
Murphy was "the one man" who convinced President
Nixon and the Bureau of the Budget that Point Reyes
was worth savine for a park.

Is it to protect me or them-

As I emerge from the smoldering pot of
life, I am less watched and guided by the
helping hand.
As I cool I can feel the stresses and
strains of life's great abundance of burden
being cast upon me. Then I focus upon
the future and I can see the rust of time,
slowly taking its never ending never stopping
course. .. .
I turn for I can look no more, the iust
of time has consumed all and all is but dust
once again, to start and regenerate the
smoldering pot of life.
Thus life in itself, is the never ending
alwavs generating circle of dark mystery,
that 'stirs men's souls and finally engulfs
all unto its bosom.
Dr. Peale & Generation Gap
Griffith
A national student film competition, a film
festival, and an institute, all in honor of
silent film pioneer D.W. Griffith, will be
held at the University of Louisville, Louis-
ville, Ky., the week of May 11.
The announcement was made on the anni-
versary of the 95th birthday of the late
Griffith, the internationally famous film-
maker who was a Louisville native. The
joint announcement was made by Dr. Wil-
liam C. Huffman, Dean of the University
College at the University of Louisville,
and Lee Browning, Vice President and sta-
tion manager of WAVE-TV, a Louisville
station.
The D.W. Griffith Student Film Festival
is open to film-makers from anywhere in
the United States. No institutional affilia-
tion is necessary to enter any of the five
categories. A total of $2,500 in prize money
will go to the winners. The money was
made available by co-sponsor WAVE-TV,
which will also award at least one summer
internship position in its Special Projects
Film
Afternoons will feature screenings of major
films that relate to that morning's activi-
ties. The Institute members will also view
the screenings of the competition films and

A public showing is planned for the out.
standing films of the competition. A small
fee will be charged for the non-credit In-
stitute. Applications and information may
be obtained by writing the D.W. Griffith
Film Institute at the above address.
The events honoring Griffith were orig-
inated by Walt Lowe of WAVE -TV's Spe-
cial Projects Department. Mr. Lowe is
an expert on Griffith, who directed among
the greatest early film classics, Including
Intolerance and Birth of a Nation. He work-
ed with Huffman, Morris Bein, Chairman
of the University of Louisville's Division of
Humanities, Robert Doherty, Chairman of
the Department of Fine Arts, Leon V. Dris-
kell of the English Department, and Robert

cussion and practical sessions in filmmaking
conducted by a national expert on the cinema.
PAWLING, N.Y. — One of the world's most
famous clergymen has entered the debate
over the generation gap with a word of sup-
port for young people and an appeal to
youth to let their parents do their own
"thing" too.
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale declared that
inhibited adults are as much to blame as
uninhibited youth for the lack of communi-
cations between generations.
At the same time, he calls on youth to
remember that "parents are also people."
He urges them to think of their parents
as men and women rather than mothers
and fathers, letting them "be their own
persons and accept them for what they
are."
Dr. Peale, minister of Marble Collegiate
Church in New York, author of best-selling
books, columnist and lecturer, has responded
to growing expressions of concern about
the generation gap with a "mini-booklet"
dealing with both sides of the problem.
Entitled Tune in on Life — You and the
Generation Gap, the booklet is being dis-
tributed by the Foundation for Christian
Living, the nonprofit organization that prints
and disseminates Dr. Peale's sermons and
other writings on a regular basis to more
than 500,000 people in nearly 110 countries.
In Tune in on Life, Dr. Peale declares
that while youth and their parents must
learn to understand one another, there is
much to be said on the side of "offbeat
young people."
"Of course, he acknowledges, "we've got
to admit that some do go to extremes,
but actually young people don't bother me
too much in this respect. Youth is the
natural time for experimentation. It's the
time for them to kick up their heels and
to try to find out who they really are.
"What does bother me is not so much
our 'uninhibited youth,' but our inhibited
adults. Every day I meet someone who
seems unhappy or frustrated about some-
thing."
Dr. Peale finds that many adults are
"just plain afraid to be themselves," while
large numbers of young people are finding
sources of satisfaction and happiness some
adults have not experienced.
"There is a great good In the young
person today," he observes. "For one thing,
he believes that love and sharing and rela-
tlonships with other people on an honest
basis are necessary for the creation of a
better world."
While it is true that millions of young men
and women lack positive goals, personal
convictions and reasons for living and thus
have become "dropouts," he says, most of
them are actively searching for a meaning,
ful way to live.

tained free of charge by writing Box T,

No Alternative To Imperfection?
?
The insights of radical theology, psy-
choanalysis and Jewish tradition are blended
— perhaps for the first time — In an
authoritative, highly readable analysis of
the everyday problems of personal and fam-
ily life published today by McGraw-Hill:
Morality and Eros by Richard L. Ruben-
stein ($5.95).
Rabbi Rubenstein, who is director of
B'nai Brith Hillel Foundation and adjunct
in the Humanities at the University of Pitts-
burgh, examines the gap between traditional
values and the realistic need of the con-
temporary Jew and Christian for insight
and guidance.
"We are not the kind of people our grand-
parents were," the author notes. "... The
techno-cultural revolution of our times has
radically altered our environment, the ways
in which we encounter it, and, consequently,
our very identities."
Among the decisive transformations of our
time Rubenstein highlights the psychological
and moral consequences of the contracep-
tive pill, the communications revolution,
the collapse of authority, and the arrival
of a moment in human history which he
calls, "the last days."
"Instantaneous mega-murder can now be
inflicted on whole nations. The built-in res-
traints to aggression operative in hand-to-
hand combat with a single individual do not
work where millions of lives are at stake.
The computer, the rocket, the nuclear bomb,
and other refinements of electronic tech-
nology make mass death possible through a
mere hand-motion .... Every day is
potentially our last."
In the light of such apocalyptic threats,
and in view of the religious skepticism and
pessimism which prevail, the author con-
tends that man today requires a measure
of practical wisdom for which traditional
experience is at best only partially adequate
in the areas of self-knowledge, personal
encounter, marriage and the family, business
and professional life.
"Our most agonizing problem may very,
well be our extraordinary freedom," he
writes. "We need no longer worry about
incurring God's wrath .... We pay a
heavy price for this freedom."
Rubenstein doubts our ability to create a
new system of values adequate to cope with
the stresses and opportunities of our times:
"There are too many people with too many
radically different backgrounds, personali-
ties, and needs for any one set of values
to be the new way. Instead, we may require
a number of alternative systems of insight
with which to confront the human condition
with as much responsible fulfillment and
gratification and as little resentment, self-
deception and self-pity as possible."
In Morality and Eros, the author attempts
to formulate one such system of insight.
The table of contents provides an enlighten,
ing guide to the path followed by his scholar-
ly, provocative and inspiring trend of through:
"If There Is No God All Things Are Per-
missible . . ."; "Situation Ethics and the
Ironies of Altruism;" "The Uses and Abuses
of Aggression;" "Work Is More Than
Living;" "The Promises and the Pitfalls
of Eros;" "Marriage: Prison or Promised
Land?"; "The Promise and the Pathos of
Divorce." "Our Tribal Society;" 'The
Cave, the Rock, and the Tent: The Meaning
of Place in Contemporary America;" "God
After the Death of God." "
Rabbi Rubenstein, author of two previous
books: After Auschwitz and The Religious
Imagination, offers an uncompromising, cour-
ageous conclusion after evoking and attempt-
ing to solve numerous problems. It is that
"we must foresake the quest for redemption
and accept life with its limitations and
ironies:"
"It is better that the Messiah tarry.
His kingdom is not of this world. Let us
endure its wounds and celebrate its joys
in undeceived lucidity."

Hayakawa Demonstration In T.O.
By Gary Wooster
On the
speak at
night of March 6, S.I, Hayakawa came to
a $25.-a-plate dinner at Los Robles Inn
in Thousand Oaks. Sixty to seventy demonstrators
came to show him that he wasn't wanted in Thousand
Oaks, or anywhere else. The demonstrators came
from Moorpark College, CLC, and the community.
A picket line was formed at about 6:45. As the
people attending the dinner were arriving some of
the demonstrators asked them why they came to
support a fascist and told them "You don't belong
here. Go home."
One of the people attending the dinner, a Marie
McCormick, screamed at the demonstrators calling
one of them "you little ." She then began
hitting one of the demonstrators screaming "I'll
take all you on at once." The exact
reason for this attack is a mystery. No one assaulted
either physically or verbally. Her attack was totally
uncalled for. She was between 60 and 65 and quite
well dressed; however her language reflected neither
her age nor social position. Apparently she lacked
maturity.
Also during the picketing one of the professors
from CLC was intentionally struck by a car driven
by one of those who came to here Hayakawa speak.
The car did not stop and the occupants gave him
very dirty looks. Luckily for him it only grazed him
and was going slowly. Another demonstrator was
almost struck by another car but he was warned In
time and barely averted being hit.
The demonstration was alsocoveredbyKVENradlo.
When the newsman was asked why he was there he
said that he came to cover Hayakawa and also the
demonstration. OHowever he never went inside to
see Hayakawa.) He said that he expected the demon,
stratlon to be peaceful and that there was no reason
for there to be violence there (as there wasn't
except for that perpetrated by those attending the
dinner).
Another person interviewed was one of the repre-
sentatives of the California Teacher's Association
of Ventura County. He said that he came to hear
Hayakawa speak. He did not agree with the demon-
stratlon and felt that Hayakawa had a job to do and
was doing his best.
None of the demonstrators saw S.I. Hayakawa
arrive at the Inn. He had snuck in the back way by
a back road. And undoubtedly planned to leave the
same way.
On Wednesday, March 4th, Robert Scheer brought the following
list of impressive credentials to CLC as the second feature speaker
of the week to be presented by the Concert-Lecture Series.
Mr. Scheer was in Cuba (1960) after Castro's revolutionary
forces came to power, and with material gained from this visit
co-authored Cuba: Tragedy in Our Hemisphere with Prof. M.
Zeitlin (Grove Press, 1961). This book was later revised (1962)
and published by Penguin Books under the title Cuba: An American
Tragedy.
In 1965 Mr. Scheer became Foreign Editor of Ramparts
magazine, and in continuing this relationship, he became Mana-
ging Editor (1966) and Vice President of the Corporation (1967).
During this period he visited S.E. Asia, including Laos, North
Viet Nam, and Cambodia at the invitation of Prince Sihanouk.
His report of this trip was sent to the Center for the Study of
Democratic Institutions in Santa Barbara. How the U.S. Got
Involved in Viet Nam is now in its sixth printing and has sold
over 135,000 copies.
In 1967 Mr. Scheer toured the Near East immediately follow,
ing the six-day Israeli war. He is extremely active in the
"New Politics" and as a congressional candidate he tallied
45 per cent of the primary vote against the incumbant candidate.
Mr. Scheer is presently considering entering the Senatorial race
as a Peace and Freedom candidate. Other writings by Scheer
include — editor of The Diary of Che Guevara and the Post
Prison Writings of Eldridge Cleaver, he is chairman of the
Eldridge Cleaver Defense Committee.
With this background Mr. Scheer stands as one of the most
informed members of California's "New Politics." The lecture
was originally planned forthe gym, but uncorrectable microphone
problems forced the moving of the presentation to the CUB.
The move to the CUB served a purpose beyond the elimination
of mike troubles, it made the small student and community
group more close knit and informal.
If a central theme could be found in Mr. Scheer's presentation,
it was rather impromptu, it was that we are in a ". . .severe
period of history. . ." where ". . . repressions are raised
against people who question the status-quo. . ." He followed
this by stating ". . . the majority don't give a damn. . ." they
"... do not know of the repression and they don't like radicals."
To back this contention he cited the resurrection of the outside
agitator theory, pointing specifically to the trial of the Chicago
Seven and the unconstitutional persecution of Bobby Seale.
In regards to the Chicago Seven, Scheer stated that ". . .they
were tried for trying to stop the war. . ." and that ironically no
one has ". . .tried American politicians for killing over one
million in Viet Nam . . I" He continued, "There is extreme irony
in America's process of purging . . .," noting that no Nuremburg
type trials are being conducted, in regards to American action
in Viet Nam and our Breaking of the 1954 Geneva Accords, today,
like the ones we fabricated against the Nazi Germans following
World War II.
The trial of the Chicago Seven, he noted, was "The first public
announcement of a political trial. . .bals lies on the politics of
the court. . ." This would seem then to brand all political
dissentors as criminals. Having been In Chicago during the
Democratic Convention, he stated that there were ". . .never
more than 400 radicals in Chicago, . . .the riot was an attempt
at being political, after the Mobilization cancelled the demon.

Scheer
(The special meeting of the Convocators
of California Lutheran College, March 1-2,
1970, provided the occasion for an address
by President Raymond M. Olson entitled,
"The Bias of CLC." This is the text of that
address, with minor changes to fit a written
form rather than a spoken one, as it has
taken shape from outlined notes.)
THE BIAS OF CLC
California Lutheran College has a bias.
A great many colleges and universities have
biases, If not all. A bias is defined as "A
mental leaning or inclination; partiality; pre-
judice." The surprise ought not to be in
knowing that such partiality exists in a col-
lege, but In the ready acknowledgement that
It is so. It is this characteristic about this
college that has brought many administrators,
many faculty and many students to have a
part in its Hie.
Somewhere along the way I picked up a
wise observation: "People never define what
they take for granted. It is only when the
accustomed and the familiar is challenged
that an attempt has to be made to say what
it means and why It is important."
There are a good many who have taken
for granted that the nature of CLC's lean-
lngs are self-evident. This has been my ten-
dency. W'e live In times however when most
of the established forms and Institutions
which have given shape to our existence
are under challenge. It should be no great
surprise that there may come confusion on

stratlon. . ." Continuing, . . ."tactics of street demonstrators
(were) forced by the government's lack of policy concern. . .
we are left no alternatives. . ."
Scheer strongly believes that it is the attempt at being political
that precipitates the repressional. He chlded the idea that outside
agitators are instant radicals, pointing again to the Chicago
Seven and to their positions In 1964's Presidential race, when at
least one of them was an active Johnson campaigner. The change
to radical occurs only after the attempt at being political.
Following the course of the repression, Mr. Scheer stated, "The
main repression is against the Panthers. . .our main (the Left's)
action should be to end the repression of the Panthers."
In the case of Bobby Seale this repression occurred as a $25,000
bail bond for a traffic violation," The double standard being
imposed "because he got political." The Panthers are repressed
because they will not bow to government, "they cannot get the
government off their bakes without selling out." According to
Scheer the Panther repression occured only after they began their
Breakfast for Children program (which did not Involve govern-
ment and whose active success government could not match).
Again illustrating how attempting to become political incites
repression, Scheer cited the People's Park Massacre, which left
in its wake over 100 wounded and one dead (James Rector, Black,
shot in back). "People's Park threatened private property. . .'
reason for violence. . .took the glove off of society. . .as people
became organized and political. . .government became restless
. . .wears blinders!"
In relation to the Left, Scheer noted, ". . .there is no uniform
line of action. . .radical action must be understood and grow out
of the people." Continuing, ". . .must be in the business of
reaching people. . ," its ". . . obligation before Revolution is
to help those who are struggling. " "The New Left was a natural
development of people talking." "American history is a lie. . .
American Empire is an accident to preserve freedom. . .
(e.g. California state colleges and universities now attempt to
cancel presentations of radical speakers, S.I. Hayakawa's closing
of all legitimate channels, an action, according to Scheer, which
is a legitimate progenitor of using extra-legal means, etc.).
Scheer stated, however, that the "Left has failed because it has
not pushed beyond confrontation politics to explain why con-
frontations are used."
This was generally the pattern of the presentation, during
the question and answer period a Moorpark student asked
"V\hat can the Thousand Oakies do?" In response Scheer said
Throw the rhetoric back in society's face." He proposed as
mentioned above, the attempt of legitimate channels recourse
but that if these channels were closed, to ". . .struggle by any
means possible. .1" "The repression proves the success of
the Left. . .1 don't think the repression will work. . .new levels
of leaders are coming from the street. . .we don't need leaders
. . .struggle by any means possible!"
Added notes on CLC and religious educational institutes:
. . .exist off mothers and fathers. . ."
". . .outside speakers are not necessary if the school has
exciting programs, professors, . . ."
And especially to CLC — "I don't know if you have a curfew. . ."

Robert Scheer, who lias been the foreign
editor, managing editor and vice president
of Ramparts magazine, spoke In the CLC
gym on Wed., March 4, at 8:00, about "What's
Left Today?" Mr. Scheer visited Castro's
Cuba In 1960 and co-authored with Prof.
Maurice Seitman Cuba: Tragedy In Our
Hemisphere. He has been to Southeast Asia
twice, once in the spring of 1965 and again
in 1966. From these trips he wrote How the
United States Got Involved In Vietnam. In
1966 he ran in the Democratic primary for
the seventh congressional district of Calif,
ornia and got forty-five per cent of the vote.
He Is thinking of running for U.S. senator
on the Peace and Freedom Party.
Gerald Rea of the Concert-Lecture Com-
mittee introduced Mr. Scheer at 8:10. Mr.
Scheer rose to speak and there followed
seventeen minutes of mike trouble. It was
finally decided to move to the CUB. The
lecture finally started at 8:40 In the CUB
when Mr. Scheer said, "The whole reason
for speaking in the gym was that it had a
microphone."
Mr. Scheer talked about what the Left
Is and why it is. He stated that he believes
that we are in a period of severe repression
and that it is mainly aimed "Against those
people who threaten the status quo." He said
that most people do not realize that there
Is any repression because since they are
content with the status quo they never do
anything that brings the repression down on
them. "Only when people try to move poll-
tically do they discover repression."
Mr. Scheer went on to reveal that the
basic freedoms that one thinks one has
really do not exist. "Most of the things
that we were raised to cherish turned out to
be a con. . . Freedom of speech Is unim-
portant if you don't have a media network"
• and that Is why confrontation tactics are
used. They get media attention and that is
the only way the majority of the people
will discover that something is wrong. If
you don't have media attention few people
even hear of your opinions and arguments.
He said that the most important aspect of
the trial of the "Chicago Seven" was that it
proved to all America and forced them to
admit that this country does have political
trials and political prisoners.
He stated that the systematic destruction
of the leadership of the Black Panthers
was because they could not be bought off
or co-opted. The reason given by the Estab.
lishment for the attacks on the Black Pan-
thers, that they are a disciplined organiza-
tlon, does not hold up when tney are com-
pared to the U.S. organization of Ron Car.
anga. The U.S. organization is much more
disciplined than the Panthers and also carry
guns and have killed many Panthers, but they
are not subject to attacks of their head-
quarters or a systematic destruction of
their leadership. The U.S. organization ac
cepts government funds and can be co-
opted while the Panthers cannot.
He also spoke about what he had seen in
Cuba and what the U.S. is doing to that
country and why. The U.S. Is trying to des.
troy that country, and the reason Is that it
could be the first truly democratic social.
1st country.
His speech ended at about 9:25 and a
question and answer period followed for an
hour and a half.
In answer to one question he said,
"I don't see where the repression is work-
lng. . .The leadership of the Black Panthers
is being systematically destoryed and yet
there's a whole new level of leaders com-
ing up." And In some ways they're even
more effective than those that came before.
Another major point he brought up was
that "we look at what has happened to
the Cuban economy and we have a case of
the most powerful country in the world
trying to crush one of the smallest coun-
tries in the world and using every economic
trick and bit of sabotage that it can."
The question and answer period came to
a halt at about 11:20.
It was an Invigorating experience listen-
lng to at last hear a member of the New
Left speak here at CLC. I hope that Mr.
Scheer Is not the last such speaker.

the part of some who look at CLC and fail
to discern its essential partiality, in the
midst of Its openness to truth.
This bias is reflected plainly in the Art-
lcle on Purpose in the Articles of Incor-
poration, filed with the State of California:
"The specific and primary purpose for which
the corporation is formed is for the estab.
lishment and maintenance of an institution
of higher education of collegiate grade, op-
erated for the best Interests of youth of
the Lutheran Church, the community, the
state and the nation, and governed in har-
mony with the Christian faith as Interpreted
and taught by the Lutheran Church."
Without attempting to identify all the facets
of that statement of purpose of the college,
we will note a few of them. 1) It is a part
of the bias of CLC, a part of the way it
leans, that the bulk of the people involved
In its life and work believe in the reality
of God for man - for every man. We expect
to come to terms with Him, to have a re-
lationship with Him, to be His people, to
know His truth and serve His purposes.
This is not a place that requires this kind
of commitment in order to be here, for we
know so well that faith cannot be ordered or
commanded. We intend to be a place of
openness where the real truth of the uni-
verse, of man and God will be explored.
At the same time we say to those who
come, this is what CLC is like.
(2) It Is also a part of the tendency of
this place that the large part of us believe
in the reality of the people of God. We are
convinced that there are people, usually with.
In the churches but sometimes outside them,
who fit such a description. The pages of
Scripture tell of their presence and the
characteristics which they have. It is our
understanding that God does draw His peo-
pie to each other, that they have His mark
In the fundamental attitudes and commit-
ments in their lives. We expect that the
presence of the people of God on this cam-
pus, with such encouragement as they may
find here, will give a special shape to our
purpose and goals. Further, we understand
this reality as bridging all human differences
and boundaries, binding us together with oth.
er men with whom we may not otherwise
have much in common.
3) It is also a part of our bias that we
believe some things about man as they are
typically expressed and understood in our
churches. On the one hand we are not
surprised at the best and the finest achieve,
ments of man individually or corporately.
We accept the idea that man has remark-
able potential for achievement, that such pos.
slbilities continually break loose and produce
startling and wonderful results. We live here
at CLC with the expectation that this can
happen to any of us, for this is what we
were made to be by our Creator. At the
same time we are not surprised at the worst
which man does, for the signs are present
throughout history and in contemporary life,
that evil can take over the mind and work
of man. We recognize that none of us are
exempt from this duality of our nature.
The Christian purpose of this college is par-
tlcularly directed toward having us under-
stand these two sides of ourselves and oth-
ers. The creating and redeeming God is a
continual part of this understanding.
4) Further, it is a part of our partialfty
that we look at the world for what it is:
in desperate trouble yet always loved by God.
We admit the sweltering heat and filth of
poverty in the world. We recognize the
strange goals of our culture. We have no
doubts about the presence of the immoral
and perverse in human life. We see the signs
of the perversion of love and freedom which
have overtaken us. The nations continue their
death-dance with the tragedy of war shown
so fearfully In the media which shares our
lives. There Is a sickness in the world
which cannot be ignored. The bias of this
college is that it is realistic about the world,
with no surprise about the trouble which is
around. Each generation may have contributed
its own share to the state of affairs but
the impact of this one will not be funda-
mentally different from other generations.
The wonder of the Christian faith is that
man can believe in a God that cares about
just such a situation, in every generation.
This is our biased look at our age. It is
shaped by the Gospel of the love of God.
in Christ.
5) May we add that it is a part of our bias
that we believe we have a mission in this
age, as it is seen in Christian terms. We
have a mission to understand this age,
to do our best at CLC to comprehend what
is happening, good and bad, hopeful and
destructive. It will not be right to pass it
by. We have a mission to serve this age
by educating some of our young people to
find their place In such a time as respon-
sible, Informed, self-giving and highly mot-
ivated human beings. We will not know, each
day, how well we accomplish this task, but
this does seem to be our mission. It is
also a part of this mission to keep the
church . the people of God • centered on
the Importance of learning, the value of
doubt and change. CLC ought to accomplish
this for the people who share in the found-
ing and supporting of this college. It has
as a part of Its mission the stirringof learn-
ing in such a way that it contributes to the
renewal of the church, the renewal of faith
and dedicated service. We have a mission
to express an attitude toward learning, that
it finally leads to God, that it is finally
fitted together in God, that Its final purpose
Is to do the work and will of God.
6) Place a cap on this list of biases by
seeing this college as a place of hope.
The difficulties of modem life are no worse
than those which the people of God have
faced In many places on the globe over
decades and centuries. We may be puzzled,
we may be frustrated, we may have great
differences In our understanding of events
and philosophies. Yet we live with confidence
which has its source and strength in the
presence of God among us.
With this frank and open recognition of
our common purpose and nature at CLC
I would like to have you look with me at
the horizon ahead and the things we should
expect of each other. Somewhere once I
found a poem called "The Ploughman" by
Karle Wilson Baker. A part of it reads:
"God will not let my field lie fallow.
The ploughshare is sharp, the feet of
his oxen are heavy;
They hurt,
But I cannot stay God from His ploughing,
I. the lord of the field.
While I stand waiting,
His shoulders loom upon me from the
mist,
He has gone past me down the furrow,
shouting a song!
I had said, it shall rest for a season.
The larks had built in the grass . . .
He will not let my field lie fallow!"
What is ahead of us? What is our field
like? What Is California Lutheran College
called to be and do? For those of us who
are committed to the life and future of
this colleee. what should we exoect? It does
seem fair to say that we will not "stay.
God from Hie ploughing-/' We may be in-
c lined to dally, to spend our time in analysis
or complaint. We may want to "rest for a
season." But I wonder If we do not have a
profound sense that the shoulders of God are
looming upon us, that He will not wait in
the mission to which CLC has given itself.
What is ahead of us? The political forces
of this nation, with all their diversity, are
moving strongly ... and strangely . . .
and fearfully. Into this turbulence need to
go people with real understanding of these
forces, and their moods; people with stable
values, steeped in the Christian way; peo-
ple ready to give their lives and talents to
seek the good of the people.
What is ahead of us? The forces of social
change are moving just as strongly . . .
and strangely. There is a cry for justice
and righteousness for all our people in
this land. The ways of the past are being
tested and often found wanting. Into this
uncertain time of change we need to have
a special kind of people who care. Ought
they not be those who have learned the
lessons of justice and mercy from the best
spiritual insights of t.ie race? Ought they
not be those who have spent enough time
confronting Christ to know His compas-
slon and His indignation? Ought they not be
those who have had glimpses into what be-
ing human can be, in its best and highest
meaning?
What is ahead of us? The hunger for a
community of nations, sprinkled with the
fears and doubts of men who have so often
been broken by other men. The terrible
need of ending international conflict and es-
tablishing the forms under which nations can
resolve their angers and injustices. Into this
people must go with an understanding and
patience and sense of the Tightness of peace
which will commit them to this task with
eagerness and vision.
What is ahead of us? The possibility of
touching the lives of young men and women
who may do these things and many others
like them, and accomplishing this within
and out of the special partiality which be-
longs to tills college. If this is to come
about then we must have the best we can get
in the quality of the people who share the
process of learning here, and the best we
can provide of the tools with which they will
work. The goals are worth the best we can
provide.

HE FLAT EARTH SOCIETY is bigger than you think. Almost every-
one belongs, because, as Euclid noted, a plane is infinite. Consider
the advantages:
Infinite air supply, capable of absorbing any amount of nitrogen and
sulphur oxides, hydrocarbon residues, etc., with no ill effects.
Rivers without end, sufficient to carry any amount of sewage and
industrial waste to an infinite ocean, too large ever to be polluted.
Unlimited forests and grasslands capable of enduring unlimited ex-
ploitation.
An infinite frontier, always someplace new to go and leave behind
noise, garbage, chemical and radioactive poisons, famine, war; an
earth which can support an unlimited population.
The Flat Earth Society has much to offer, if you just accept its social illusions
and reject the "optical illusion" above. It has strong institutional support: steel
companies (strip mining, air pollution), oil companies (offshore drilling, air
and water pollution), aircraft companies (the SST, noise and air pollution),
some organized religions (anti-birth control), automobile, lumber, real estate
interests, etc., etc.
Conservationists are the spoil-sports. They see limits everywhere. They are:
paranoid (distrust technological tampering with the environment), socialistic
(reject the right of private owners to plunder the earth), hippy (take to woods
to escape "progress") and fanatic (wage militant fights against the destruction
of the earth's ecology).
JOIN A ROUND EARTH SOCIETY
SUPPORT THE TEACH-IN
Throughout this spring, and especially on April 22, Round Earthers on hundreds of campuses will join in a
NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL TEACH-IN to explore nature's law of limits. This can be a historic break-
through in understanding all that is needed to have a whole and healthy earth.
The Sierra Club, a young, 77-year old Round Earth Society, hopes you will participate - that everyone on
your campus will seize this opportunity to learn ways to protect the environment.
To help you, the Sierra Club has prepared an environmental activist's handbook - ECOTACTICS. It will
arm you to take the initiative to combat Flat Earth thinking: to find out how to keep your life-support system
intact. ECOTACTICS will soon be available at your local bookstore.
ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION IS SOMETHING YOU DO.
You can: Read ECOTACTICS. Help your campus conservation group (if there is one; if not. form one.,
Make April 22 the launch date for an ecologically sound future. Contact environmental scientists and other
concerned members of your faculty to develop informed and effective ecotactics. Find out what is planned for
April 22 on neighboring campuses and offer to help them. Enlist their help.
Many Round Earth Societies
have long been carrying on the
fight against degradation of the
environment. Alone they can-
not shatter the illusions of Flat
Earthlings. They need the ener-
gies of the New Generation
which, with luck, will inherit
the spaceship earth. So join and
support one of the Round Earth
groups. Or two of them. Or
more.

Watermelon's ^*~^
Diary
The purpose of this column, which will hopefully appear on a
weekly basis, Is to bring to light the Invaluable thoughts of
Watermelon. Every day I hear things which are probably true
but cannot be proven for reasons which will become obvious.
I see no reason for secrecy at CLC, and I will try to publish
those things that I have heard which others should know about.
At the same time, I would like to share some of my dally
thoughts.
This Is not meant to be a gossip column. I welcome responses
from readers. For any erroneous statements, I will apologize.
Let me emphasize that the material Is almost entirely opinion.
Thursday, March 5
Reliable sources tell me that some of the black and/or brown
students being given scholarships or grants designated for
minorities are actually from middle to upper class families
and need the money about as much as a cat needs a cold shower.
It seems that this aid should be given to minority students who
need it. After all, being black doesn't necessarily mean that
the person thinks black. The Black Panthers call Ron Karenga
a bootlick. Being Mexican doesn't make you a Chicano if you
eat tortillas as an exotic food.
I recently heard that the athletic department gets as much In
financial aid as the rest of the departments combined.
Speaking of the athletic department, does the P.E. department
spend more money on tape (as in to tape ankles, etc.) In a year
than the entire budget for the geology department In the same
period?
Friday, March 6
On page 18, part I of this morning's Los Angeles Times, the
Bank of America responds to the burning of its Isla Vista branch.
The Bank of America says:
"We believe the time has come for Americans to unite in
one cause: a rejection, total and complete, of violence as a
means of political dissent."
It seems that the Bank of America has set a double-standard.
How can It expect to invest in enterprises which perpetuate
violence, both here and abroad, and still remain exempt from
being the victim of reciprocal action. I, for one, detest violence
in all forms. I will not be so hypocritical as to tolerate it when
used to my advantage but oppose it when I am its object.
You've gotta lotta damn gall, Bank of America! What do you
take us for?
Warning!! I Beware lest you incur the wrath of the secretarial
staff! From what I hear, it's the secretaries who really wield
the power around here. If you cross a secretary It could mean
forty lashes with a wet tongue.
Saturdav. March 7
Rumor has it that there are four narcs now enrolled at CLC.
There are supposed to be three males and one female. Watch out
kiddies, Big Narco is watching.
By the way, does anyone drink alcohol at old Cal Lu?
Is It true that the school has had to borrow money Just to
pay the Interest on a ten million dollar loan? Why aren't we
allowed to see the financial records. The students are the most
important part of CLC and should have the right to this infor.
matlon.
Sunday, March 8
This afternoon the food service served grapes at lunch. I
know this wasn't the first time. I thought it had been established
that there would be no grapes served at CLC In support of the
grape boycott. I hope this doesn't happen again, and if it does,
that the students will not eat them. People who are not familiar
with the efforts of the UFWOC, or who do not support their
goals, should be ashamed of themselves.
Monday. March 9
In a recent discussion with one of our administrators.
I was told that while that administrator realized that hours
were obsolete, the reason that they hadn't been abolished was
because a procedure had to be developed by which such ques-
tlons could be resolved.
It seems that if they know that hours should be removed, and
we know that hours should be removed, it should happen.

I, awaiting Apollo's chariot
stood self -stranded on headlands heights,
like some passive planet
which evolved from endless ether
at the fancy of Divine delight,
Silently staring beyond the sheathing sky
this vagabond sought shelter,
in the secrets of the unknown bonds
slowly carried by timeless tides
on unseen streams he drifted,
past the childless being of Apollo's chilled eclipser.
to the virgin Venus.
I, in Aphrodite's arms,
with automonous appendage applied,
passed beyond the bounded borders
and entered deep within life's darkest cavity
seeking Eden's flowered fruits.
I, alone, in selfish search of soul
penetrated past that barren barrier,
in a quest of knowledge
unknown I sought the role of Zeus In life
but found Instead, ironically, the mask of Mars In hate
and the suicide of love.
I, who entered where no other had,
unleased that flow of blood,
it was the vagabond's vlrtured vanity
which caused that stream of youthful life
to benignly bleed and meander past living shores
to the stagnant seas
of selfish security
I, who quested knowledge
gave no thought of love
It was the wanderer who bred beliefs
that knowledge was the Diety,
a divine delusion, whose birth buried all who believed,
"The fruits of Eden,"
cried the unchaste Venus to the vagabond,
"are children of love and life
not archers of Mars and vanity ..."
And as the winged war wagon now slowly lit the air
the mistress of knowledge breathed a bountiful breath
to fill her lungs beneath her breast
for her heart held life
though a staining drop was shed.
I, who gravely gave In, to geocentric genesis
now lie vested in validity
in vaulted valued chambers
stiffened by vacuumed verbs and verse
of maternal Mary
for having raped righteous innocence
for the belief of my own being
I, who raped, grew to love,
the vagabond he plucked the bud,
the flower he stole from the stem
and the flower's future fruit died in famine
for though he cherished her,
he foolishly did not nourish her In love
and she denied him
following faithfully, thereafter,
those who brought her gifts of life,
the love of life
the life of love
I, having now lost life's love,
labored longingly to be liberated
from my boundless bonds,
but lost was life's love
and love of life.
as the vagabond grew tired
in trying to find a thread of himself,
despair descended deep
into dark depths of disillusion
in timeless tombs
he longingly lamented
in fine fibers
of worldly words, without
material menaing,
those fears felt by him alone,
his final fabric
Eden's fruits were . . .
Ideally like an iconoclastic image
engraved with enduring love.

We took another poll and this time it was about
college governance. From the response we got we
could tell immediately of the deep concern for this
issue. When 26 people returned the poll we knew
right away that people who attend CLC are con.
cerned, interested, and eager to state their views
on campus issues. Many campuses are battling against
apatny, but this campus has nothing to worry about
— it was a hard fight, but apathy has won! Three
cheers for apathy! You're doing great, gang -
Keep it up — don't let anyone tell YOU that YOU
aren't apatheUc — we know better!
Our first question was "Do you feel that the
class government is effective?" There were 5 yes
answers, 20 nos and 1 don't know.
Next was "Do you feel that class government is
necessary?" The answers were 20 yes, 6 no.

Thirteen people said that they would be in favor
of Hie implementation of a new form of college
governance, based on the proposed form by the
College Governance Commission in the "Regent's

didn't know.
Again 13 people said that they would favor greater

Now quickly this must come to a close.
What prevents us from getting on? How do
we become adequate for the task, and the
happy use of our lives and our means?
How do we follow the furrows which God
cuts ahead over our fields? Let me mention
three things, among many:
1. We stand our best chance of achieve,
ment of goals and purposes like these when
we have a genuine pulsing sense of com-
munity in and around CLC. So many of us
have a stake here, and so many of us share
the peril if we do not have it. It is my con.
viction that this sense of community at CLC
cannot be separated from the basic goals,
the stated and inherent bias which we have
and with which I am glad to be associated.
2. We will become much more adequate
for this task when we gather many more
people of like mind to share what we see
as our purpose. We already have many
called Regents, Convocators, Alumni, Con-
gregations, Friends. But the task is so large
that it calls for even more who will be
willing to join us in developing the best col.
lege of the church we can.
3. We will be able to get on when we are
able to gather the money to support the
human and spiritual dynamics involved here.
What we have happening right now calls for
more money than we have at hand. What
Is yet to happen will test our resolve. This
is part of the reason I have taken time to.
night to refresh ourselves about the nature
of this college. Only as we are confident
of the worthiness of our task will we com.
mlt ourselves and our fortunes to it. Let
us join firmly with eacli other and set off
down the furrow which our Lord is cutting
aero** our fields!
By Dr. John Cooper
Since we gather together on these Monday mornings
to express and pray for our concerns, especially as
they pertain to this College, I wish again to address a
few remarks to an area about which much has been
said on our campus. Yet because It Is a continuing
concern it deserves continuing comment.
That to which I would like to speak is simply
the position or stance of California Lutheran College.
There are those who say we must be or become this
or that type of College. We must change from what
we are to something different. At times, it is indicated
that this change must be a radical one, moving CLC
into an extreme position centered about a point of
view contrasting with the point of view of the founders
or of those who have brought our college to Its
present point In time. Some say we must decide
whether we are to be a Liberal Arts College or some
sort of reactionary institution, one or the other.
As an intellectual body we cannot afford the error
of making Incorrect comparisons. When we Indicate
that a polarity exists with a Liberal Arts College on
one end of a scale and a reactionary Institution of
higher learning on the other we are on the brink of
accepting a premise that paves the way tor just such
Incorrect comparisons. In addition, we begin to play
around with the definition of Liberal Arts and to dis-
tort that definition.
Accepting such a premise draws one Into a false
assumptive area in which a Liberal Arts College Is
conceptualized as the opposite of one that Is reac-
tionary. This may or may not be true. If It is true it
is unfortunate. I would hold that a position of polarity
does not define Liberal Arts.
To force the Liberal Arts Into such a position
— an extreme position — is to Invite distortion
and to deny the essential nature of such a College.
We might conceive of a scale with liberal at one
end and reactionary at the other. On such a scale
a given Liberal Arts College might fall toward one
end or the other depending upon how much bending
nt its Doint of view had been done.
Liberation of the mind through the Arts, Natural
Sciences, Social Sciences and the Humanities is
essentially the goal of a Liberal Arts Education.
This is far different than being liberal In terms of
one of the latter day definitions or Interpretations
of the word. These latter day applications link
liberal, as a term, with a more extreme point of
view. It seems clearly demonstrated by contemporary
phenomena as well as historical manifestations that
extremism, on what I picture as a circular con.
tinuum of extreme emphases, tends not to liberate
the mind but to encase it.
To truly serve the ends of a Liberal Arts College
a more desirable Idea of position is one where we
are not pushed into a polarized perimeter position.
The world of polarization is truly flat and at the ex-
tremes one has a tenuous tenure. Where we must
stand is at the center of this circular continuum
of extreme thought. This Is not to be confused with
a middle of the road or indecisive position. In con-
trast it is one of dynamic vigor and potential power.
The vigor and power stem from the freeing of the
mind, either cumulative or individual, to decide
and re-declde. These decisions and responses are on
the basis of a freedom of vision which encompasses
all points of view surrounding the College without
surrender to any one of them. Dynamism and power
He In the freedom to create our own position.
In like measure such a position does not mean
withdrawal or non-involvement as a way of exis-
tence. Rather the CoUege lives, In this concept,
as the core or hub of a wheel, very much the center
of many polarized expressions radiating out along
the spokes to take their positions of extremity on
the rim of the wheel.
In this setting, the College literally holds fast
to the truly Liberal - the liberation of the mind to
contemplate, analyze, rationalize and synthesize -
in order to push closer to truths. Those at the
extremes fall short of grasping truth and substitute
an emotional righteousness for It. In this day and
age when the very mortal existence of man is threat-
ened and his days seem truly numbered, In panic,
we often flee to the essentially Insecure refuge of
the extreme, seeking security In the blanket of emo-
tional righteousness to be found there. We cannot,
as a College, afford this kind of panic anymore
than we can afford the error of making Incorrect
comparisons.
The central position Is one of strength, but It
required strength to maintain It. It is, frankly,
sometimes easier to relinquish it rather than mus-
ter up the strength to hold on. However, we, uniquely
can look to a source of strength to allay our desire
to run In the face of what seems a crumbling world.
Our running will only add to the trembling of the
earth and hasten a cataclysm, If one Is truly to be
visited upon us. The strength that is present to
make it possible for us to hold to a central posl.
tion of power and freedom of thinking is our rooting
in the spiritual truth. The Love of Christ Is the
unique quality and essentially the only unique quality
of which we can boast.
We can run to the rim or we can stand. If we run
we leave a void where once we stood. The strength
that we might have developed to help our fellows
on the perimeter will have been dispersed.
Christ stood. He .stood at the center of the world
as a man, but as the source of the truth as well.
Despite the fact that some today would like to carry
Christ out to the extremes and say, "This is where
he stood," they do not succeed, for what they trans-
port Is a diluted Icon of the Christ. For me, Christ
is not some easUy transported, vest-pocket Messiah
or a chameleon savior who alters his appearance
to suit the whims of man. In spite of attempts to
recast Jesus In the mold of the rebel or the reac-
tionary judge, He sought no refuge In the extreme
but maintained His dynamic and powerful position
of truth and freedom where He could see and per*
ceive all about Him. Despite His Involvements with
those of the world He remained constant and they
changed for the better.
We can do no less than stand with Christ. To Him
only can we surrender. Christ Is our constant. We
may change and grow as a College In terms of the
variables, but that Ciiange must always be mea.
sured In terms of the constant . Christ, the Life,
the Truth and the Way. In this lies our unique
strength as a College.

Ecolology:
Homo Sapiens
The Wise One? a Poet comes
Man is on this earth only as a result of
an evolutionary process which began mil-
lions of years ago and which will continue
until long after this species has become
extinct. Simply, man Is a product of nature
— made by it, from it, and he must live
with it. This is the balance of nature —
a balance so fine that it can easily be dis.
rupted even by natural phenomena, but can
be destroyed by further, extensive aggra-
vation.
For many years the Big Horn Sheep lived
and thrived as a part 01 cue animal kingdom
and as a link in the food chain, upon which
so many other animals, including man, are
dependent. This may not seem important
— one extinct species. But there are 55
species declining or In danger of extinction
presently. Magnify this by the natural bio-
logical worth of each, not man's use of each,
and the problem created by Homo Sapiens
becomes formidible.
Or, what's a few million pine trees that
are being destroyed by the actions of all
of us? Do we accept this as a by-product
of our technological society? Should we
consider the risk of a massive oil spill
more important than the ecological effects
that the same might produce?
In answering these questions we must con-
sider man as the economic creature that he
is. The idea is to take in much more money
than is put out. There is nothing wrong with
this until it becomes the overriding factor
that governs one's life. Here, unfortunately,
we have arrived at today's major problem
— money.
Economic achievements are immediate,
but as anyone knows, these are short-liyed
and also fairly easily renewable. This goal
has taken precedence over long-range goals
— ones which won't affect us — or will
they? Should we all consider the long-range
effects of disruption of our ecosystem or
should we strive to keep a couple of dollars
and forget it? The latter is occuring and
we pass on the oil In the oceans, the poi-
sons in the air, the filthy water, the pesti-
cides In our mothers' milk, the pipeline
being considered to carry hot oil from
Alaska, the trash in the streets and our
backyards. Do these things affect us like a
dollar does? There is one thing for sure
— the condition of health that these societal
substances are producing to some, and will
be mass-producing to the rest of us soon,
no amount of money will be able to cure.
Ther is no living thing which dare con-
flict with the natural processes of nature,
or else face certain death. "Mass mortal-
ity in the Los Angeles Basin is predicted
for 1975." This is the view of Dr. Frank
Lysen, environmentalist. Each person should
take it upon himself to respect our natural
world, to feel guilt when this environment
is disgraced by your fellow human beings.

On the evening of Tuesday, March 3, Mr. Toby
Lurie, a poet of distinction came to CLC. Before
an audience of approximately 30 or 40 people,
Mr. Lurie read his captivating, live poetry. To
many people that were fortunate to see him, it
was an experience.
Before he got into the poetry, however, he made
some very interesting general remarks. He said
that through poetry one can liberate language, and that
was his main goal. The liberation of language.
He said that language, poetry and prose, are res-
trlcted as compared to the language of dance. He
stated, "My poetry goes to the guts," and amazingly,
it did.
The first kind of poem he read was the conver-
sation poem. In very precise wordings and timings,
the poet read "Conversation Between Father and
Son," and "Dow Chemical and Dow Jones," and
"Duet."
He then moved slowly Into the sound poem, capti-
vating his audience in his Vietnam poems like
"One Boy has Died in the War" and "One Week's
Dead." The latter, he said, was written after he
saw the article in Life Magazine with the pictures
of a sample week's dead soldiers in Vietnam. These
poems have a long, slow ending.
One word poems were next and very dramatically
he reiterated the word "child" until it sounded
like something else but yet sounded the same.
The chanting followed with the audience divided
into two different sections. One section would say
"Under the sun" while the other said "There is
nothing new." These two statements binded together
by Mr. Lurie's encouraging words, resulted in a very
unique and beautiful sound.
At this stage someone in the audience suggested
that the audience form a sitting circle around the
poet and the idea of audience involvement material,
ized with the ensuing chanting and unhindered verbal
expressionism. To all Involved it was an important
exchange of thoughts that had dwelt on the mind.
To bring the experience to a conclusion, Mr.
Lurie read an appropriate peom, "Goodbye," and
with regret the audience dispersed.
For those who are interested in hearing more of
his poetry, he will be reading poetry at San Fernando
Valley State later this month and if anybody is
Interested in a permanent momento of Mr. Lurie's
poems, look for a forthcoming album entitled
"Word Trip."
We thank Mr. Lurie for sharing his talent and
experience with us here at CLC.

It's an idea!
Let's put some "life" into life insurance
That's what Lutheran students are
thinking about . . . life. What's ahead.
What good things are going to happen.
A career. A wife. A home and family.
And, believe it or not, life insurance
from Aid Association for Lutherans is
very much a living thing. First, it's
the only guaranteed form of savings.
You set your financial goal and com-
plete it even if you become physically
disabled. The money you put aside in
life insurance can come in handy to
help make a down payment on a home,
buy a new car, provide an umbrella for
a rainy day . . . even help send your
own son or daughter to college. But
the time to start is now when rates are
the lowest they'll ever be for you, and
your good health makes you insurable.
It's an idea! And the idea man is your
AAL representative . . . the man who
tells the life insurance story the way
it is ... for the living. He's a fellow
Lutheran and dedicated to common
concern for human worth.

VIOLENCE
IN AMERICA
One Companys Position
Isla vista, California, population 11,250.
The business district consists of a couple of gas
stations, a few small shops, some real estate offices—
and a bank. A large campus of the University of
California is nearby. All in all, a normal American
suburban community— perhaps very much like the one you
live or work in. Normal, that is, until Wednesday, February 25,
when violence shattered the peaceful calm of Isla Vista.
At about 8:30 p.m. on the night of February 25,
rampaging demonstrators— students and non-students—
protesting the "capitalist establishment" converged on the
community's small business district.
Several protesters rolled a gasoline-soaked trash bin
through a smashed front door in a Bank of America branch
and set it ablaze. Other students extinguished the fire. But
just before midnight, with the angry crowd in a frenzy,
the branch was set ablaze again. While police and fire officials
were held at bay by a rock-throwing mob, the bank was
gutted by fire and totally destroyed. A police patrol car was
overturned and burned. Numerous other fires were started.
Windows were smashed and life and property threatened.
These events took place in a community called
Isla Vista. They could have happened in your community.
They can happen anywhere and with even more
disastrous results.
Why did the eruption in Isla Vista take place?
Participants in the violence say it was a protest
against the "capitalist establishment," "the war in Vietnam,"
"the Chicago trial," "student repression," "police brutality,"
and a list of other grievances against America in 1970.
Some of these grievances are real, some are fanciful and
others are false. But all deserve to be aired. To the degree
that they are not aired, are not taken seriously, Americans
break faith with their young.
But all Americans, young and old, liberal and
conservative, lose by violence. Violence and destruction are
the seeds of anarchy and tyranny— whether it be the tyranny
of the extreme right or the extreme left.
We believe the time has come for Americans to unite
in one cause: a rejection, total and complete, of violence
as a means of political dissent.
All of us, young or old, liberal or conservative,
have for too long been silent on the issue of violence.
We have been afraid of labels or slogans that would brand
us as either arch conservatives or traitors to a liberal cause.
Such sloganeering does all of us a grave injustice.
Let us, as a nation, find once again our ability to
distinguish between protest and revolt; between dissent and
chaos; between demonstration and destruction; between
non-violence and violence.
Let us cease to condemn those who disagree with us,
but let us also be prompt and resolute in putting an end to
violence in our land.
To this end we applaud the courageous response
of many dedicated public officials. They deserve the
cooperation of all citizens. They will have ours.
Every American has a right to walk the streets in
safety. No polemic should be allowed to obscure this right.
Your wife or husband, son or daughter ought to be safe
in visiting a supermarket, a filling station or a bank-
regardless of whether another may choose to reject that
institution as an onerous symbol.
It is for these reasons that we re-opened our
Isla Vista branch on Monday, March 9. We realize that
there is danger in this course of action. But we believe the
greater danger to ourselves and to all of the people in
this nation is to be intimidated by mob violence. We refuse
to be so intimidated.
Is the branch worth this much? In monetary terms,
the answer is no. It is not, and never has been particularly
profitable. But it is there to serve the banking needs of the
community and we refuse to be driven out of any community
by a violent few.
Is this a bad business decision? Perhaps in a narrow
sense it is. But we believe that at some time and in some
place Americans must decide whether they intend to have
their decisions, indeed their lives, ruled by a violent minority.
We are but one bank, but we have decided to take
our stand in Isla Vista.

NEW YORK, N.Y. — Plans for
the largest student film festival
in history, with the new spon-
sorship of a major American
business organization, the Jos.
Schlitz Brewing Co. of
Milwaukee, have been an-
nounced.
Schlitz is sponsoring the
competition in cooperation with
the American Film Institute and
the National Student Association.
The contest is aimed at
stimulating the creative talent of
young film makers on the college
campuses of the country where
interest in film is mounting.
World premiere screenings of
prize winning films, to be held in
New York and Los Angeles in
September, will highlight the
festival.
Robert A. Uihlein Jr., board
chairman and president of
Schlitz, said the brewery would
provide five cash prizes of $2,500
each, 20 prizes of $500 each, and
two Fellowships worth $30,000
each.
The two Schlitz Ff Hows will be
chosen from those entrants in the
competition who apply and
qualify for admission to the AFI's
Arts
Center For Advanced Film
Studies in Beverly Hills, Calif.,
and will study for two years at the
Center.
"Film is an exciting and ex-
panding art which can inform,
entertain and inspire an already
turned-on generation of bright
and idealistic college students,"
Uihlein said. "Film is the
language of today. It talks in
terms of what is happening now
— to us — and we at Schlitz are
delighted to be involved in such
activity on the college campuses
of America."
Judges noted for excellence in
their own fields — critics, film
makers, directors, producers,
technicians, and performers —
will select the 25 winning films,
each judge setting his own
criteria.
This year for the first time a
major film journal will be
published for distribution, free of
charge, to every student at-
tending the festival's premiere
screenings and to every student
taking a film course in a college
or university. The journal will
contain a wide range of articles
by noted film authorities.
This year's competition will be
the fifth annual National Student
Film Festival. Last year it drew
146 entries from 44 colleges and
universities. Due to the exploding
interest in film on campuses,
about 300 entries are expected
this year.
Rules, regulations and entry
forms will be sent to college film
schools and student film makers
in early March. Deadline for
entries is May 1. All entries must
be 16 mm or 35 mm with optical
sound.
Following the New York and
Los Angeles premieres, similar
screenings will be shown in 30
other major cities and campuses.
Then the show, consisting of a
two hour package of award
winning films, goes on the college
circuit, to some 500 campuses
across the country. There,
student organizations will
sponsor screenings.
Schlitz also plans to show the
film package to U.S. servicemen,
here and abroad.
NSA, the largest and oldest
student organization in the
country, founded the film festival
in 1965. NSA has 450 member
campuses representing ap-
proximately two million
students.
Charles Palmer, Washington,
D.C., president of the National
Student Association, said, "We
welcome and appreciate the
participation by a major business
organization, the Schlitz
brewery, and by the American
Film Institute in our student film
competition. This support from
business and the AFI will result
in the largest and finest com-
petition of this kind ever
presented. We look forward to an
exciting festival,"
National Academic Services,
Inc., a student marketing group,
will organize, promote and ad-
minister the film festival on
behalf of NSA.
The AFI is headed by George
Stevens Jr., Los Angeles. AFI
was founded in 1967 as a non-
profit, nongovernmental
organization concerned with the
motion picture in American life
— in theaters, homes, libraries,
classrooms and wherever films
are found.
Kinetic Art-
Overview
By Gary Wooster
The Kinetic Art, a series of three film programs, is
coming to CLC. Each program consists of a number of
animated, experimental, pop, doumentary, and
dramatic short films gathered from recent film
festivals including Cannes. Mannheim, Oberhauser.
and Venice. The films have been made by master film
makers and young unknowns from Europe, Japan, and
Ihe United States. Critics have called it 'brilliant" and
"fantastic." I call it indescribable. Something you
won't want to miss.
". . .a three-day minifestival. . .from innovative film
makers around the world. . a brilliant assemblage of
short creative films." Louise Sweeney. The Christian
Science Monitor
"Anyone interested in the possibilities of movies
should not miss (The Kinetic Art). < 1 1 > represents
some of the most interesting things being done in the
field, things that cannot be duplicated in any other art
form." Vincent Canby. WQXR Radio. New* York
"There is a growing audience to which the quality,
not the length, of a film is the primary concern. More
impressive are the high standards of professionalism
and creativity set by these independent film makei

il was nothing shorl of fantastic 'The Kinetic
Art' must be classified as a success. Among the
conglomeration of hippies, avant garde fans and just
plain curious people, there was a feeling of great ap-
preciation for the excitingly different films. The
audience even applauded after each presentation,
after being shocked into a new world of movie
making." The Daily Utah Chronicle
"Artists and poets fit into the short-film genre much
more easily than would-be novelists I hope that the
series will persuade the good short-film directors to
staj where the; are. and other artists, whose dreams
are too cryptic and loo — well — too kinetic for other
art Forms, to gel into the field " Vincent Canby, The

Kinetic Art-Program I
I
By Joel Davis
On Tuesday night the first of three scheduled
programs of the Kinetic Art Festival was shown. Over
five hundred people crowded into the gym to see a
series of eleven short films that proved once and for all
how inane, insane and totally meaningless the
Academy Awards (given that same night) really are.
Now, trying to write something halfway meaningful
about any of the films seen becomes a nearly im-
possible task. The greatest impact of the Kinetic Art
was nonverbal, gutlevel and mindblowing. To try to
make the nonverbal verbal is somewhat difficult, (e.g.,
ask a poet.)
I'll not try to analyze any of the shorts from an ob-
A scene from "La Ponune" ,
a contemporary French
artist's impressionistic
record of his happy life,
jective viewpoint. All of them were fantastic, and any
one individually was worth the price of admission.
There were three, however, that especially impressed
me. perhaps because they were the most dufficult for
me to understand and thus maybe the most meaningful
of the eleven.
"Phenomena," by Jorden Belson, was totally non-
verbal, entirely visual and completely captivating.
There was no story line — it was merely a series of
light'color patterns, phenomena in constant motion and
change; it was truly "Kinetic'" art. Anyone who saw
"2001: A Space Odyssey" will recognize, perhaps
vaguely, what I got out of "Phenomena : that like the
final 25 minutes of "2001" it was a light /color
representation of phenomena or experiences that are
several lightyears beyond those of homo sapiens.
Or mavbe I'm wrong. Maybe it was just a well-done.
/
From ET CETERA by Laterna Magika
overly dramatized lightshow.
Maybe it doesn't matter what it was, other than an
intense experience of nonverbal phenomena.
"Happiness," by Lothar Spree, lasted fifty-five
seconds. The ethical and philosophical reverberations,
though, are still (I suspect) echoing in about five
hundred minds and will continue to do so for quite a
long time. It is a simple "story" of a sad man looking
for happiness, who encounters another man on a
surrealistic field and receives happiness in the form of
a coin, and who goes running off into the sunset
screaming, "I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy. ."
One must have seen it to have received the impact of it.
though, and to have begun forming the tentative,
somewhat ambiguous correlations. Again, like
"Phenomena," the major impact was nonverbal.
Unlike "Phenomena," where the impact was sensual,
in 'Happiness" it is mental, intellectual, nhilnsonhiral
But the heaviest one of the bunch for me, was "Why
Uid Vou Kiss Me Awake?" A nude girl, with a hand-
held camera, is filming herself in a mirror. She pans
away, around the room. We (the camera ) see her lover
slumped in a chair. We see the room. She carries us to
the dresser drawer, opens it up. She turns us around
and we get a tantalizing glimpse. . .and then we're in
the drawer and it's closed and all is black for the rest of
the film . while a man delivers in a slightly bored tone a
treatise of the ontological implications of seeing and
not-seeing — a speech that ends the denial of the
existence of everything not seen. Meditate on it.
HEAVY, i Because if the Voice is right — and we are
the camera in the darkened clothes chest — and we
cant see anything. ANYTHING, while the Voice
sneaks — whowherehowandwhv is the Voice?
There were eight others that were just as good as
these three. There will be another showing, of Program
2. Be there.

"Contempo 70" Plans Announced
Plans for "Contempo '70," an innovative series of
four concerts of 20th Century music featuring the Los
Angeles Philharmonic and several important figures
in the classical and rock music field were disclosed
today during a press conference at the Music Center.
Making the announcement were Zi.bin Mehta. music
director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Frank
Zappa, idmed rock musician and composer and leader
of the Mothers of Invention, and Ernest Fleischmann,
executive director of the Philharmonic.
The concerts will take place May 3 ar.d 10 at the Ah-
manson Theatre, May 15 at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion
and May 31 at Royce Hall on the UCLA campus.
Complete title of the series is "Contempo '70 — 20th
Century Music. How It Was, How It Is." It will include
the century's several phases of music, from works by
the early masters — Bartok. Schoenberg Stravinsky,
Varese, and Webern — to the music of NOW — Luciano
Berio, Mel Powell, Morton Subotnick and Frank
Zappa.
Zubin Mehta will conduct the first three concerts;
Pierre Boulez. celebrated composer and music-
director elect of the New York Philharmonic and the
BBC Symphony, will conduct the final program. Guest
artists are the Swingle Singers, Frank Zappa and the
Mothers of Invention and Morton Subotnick.
In a preliminary statement prior to the discussion,
Fleischmann stressed the unprecedented opportunity
offered by Contempo '70. "This is a splendid chance to
get acquainted with the music of our time — to come to
grips with the sounds of the 20th Century." he declared.
"On Ma) 10 and May 31, Zubin Mehta and Pierre
Boulez will show how Bartok, Schoenberg. Stravinsky
Hid Webern lit (he fuse for the conflagration to come.
I Hi Way 3 and May 15, we will experience the musical
explosions of Berio, Powell. Subotnick and Zappa."
Contempo 70" audiences also will be encouraged to
participate in the programs. During a forum following
each iniK.it ideas may be exchanged among con-
ductors, composers, guest artists and members of the
audience.
Mehta, a native of Bombay. India, is in his eighth
i as music durector of the Philharmonic Hehas
conducted leading orchestras and opera companies
throughout the world. He and the Philharmom.
recently starred on the NBC television special. "The
Switched-On Symphony," and Mehta, as musical
adviser of the Israel Philharmonic, has conducted
concerts of symphonic and rock music repertoire.
Zappa, one of the leading figures in underground
music, was a pioneer in the use of amplified and
electronically modified instruments. The Mothers of
I mention is credited with laying much of the
theoretical ground work that influenced the design of
many commercially manufactured electro-musical
devices.

Zubin Mehta, 34, is in his eighth year as music
director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra,
and during that period he has guided the Philharmonic
to an enviable position among the world's great or-
chestras through a unique relationship with the
musicians based upon mutual respect and affection.
Despite invitations from leading orchestras and opera
companies across the globe, Mehta spends more time
with his orchestra than most music directors.
Mehta is extremely aware of the dramatic changes
that have taken place in music and his influence in this
direction is attracting growing audiences to his Los
Angeles concerts. The especially large increase in
attendance of young people is a credit to his unusual
ability to program as well as his youthful outlook on
music. The NBC television special, "The Switched-On
Symphony," starring Mehta and the Philharmonic,
illustrates well the viable present — and future —
potential of a symphony orchestra under proper,
visionary direction. The program provides a collage of
music with ingredients drawn from classical, rock and
folk artists and repertoire.
Zubin Mehta was born in Bombay in 1936. A Parsee.
he is descended from the ancient Persians who fled into
India after the followers of Mohammed overran the
Middle East during the sixth century.
^ oung Zubin received his early musical training
from his father, Mehli Mehta, founder and first con-
certmaster. later conductor, of the Bombay Symphony
Orchestra. Mehta recalls those early days filled with
music:
"From the cradle on, I heard chamber music. I
became acquainted with Beethoven quartets before I
ever heard a symphony, and could sing all this music
before I could read a note
lie began study ol the violin and piano at seven, and
.it it) began conducting concerto accompaniments for
his father. While still a teenager he was entrusted with
the orchestra while his father was away touring.
Despite this firm foundation in music. Zubin Mehta
at one point cast aside this profession and entered
medical school. Bui soon after taking his first MB., he
returned to music Mehta then left for Vienna, where
lie studied piano, composition, string bass and con-
ducting at the Academy of Music while playing the
violin and bass in various orchestras, and singing in
choruses under great conductors, as well as attending
a different opera or concert almost every night. At one
time his heavy schedule included 12 courses taken
simultaneously! Recalling his receipt of a diploma for
conducting he observes, i always had (he intention ol
becoming a conductor because orchestral music ap-
peals to me most. Otherwise I would have been a
pianist."
The following year Mehta began conducting at the
Musikverein in Vienna and. later, that year entered
and won the first Liverpool International Conductors'
Competition in a field of 100 contestants. Later, sub-
stituting lor Eugene Ormandy. he became the
youngest conductor to lead the Vienna Philharmoic. He
was also the youngest man in history to conduct the
Berlin Philharmonic He electrified the august Salz-
burg Festival with his performance of Stravinsky and
Brahms. At 25. he was invited to conduct the then 25-
year-old Israel Philharmonic, and was asked to return
at least once a year until their mutual 50th birthday. He
is now that orchestra's Music Adviser, conducting
more of its concerts than any other conductor.
Numerous guest appearances with major orchestras
led him to the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 1961 where,
alter his first appearance, he made so profound an
impression that he was engaged as music director the
following year. He was the seventh music director in
the Philharmonic's history, and at the age of 26. the
youngest. His association with the Philharmonic also
had further significance: A year earlier he became the
music director of the Montreal Symphony Thus Zubin
Mehta was the first music director of two major North
American orchestras, a practice that recently has
become more common.
A highlight of this dual association came during
Expo 67 in Montreal when Mehta conducted the two
groups in a massed performance of Berlioz' Sym-
phonic Fantastique. Mehta left the Montreal Sym-
phony in 1967 to devote more time to his important Los
Angeles duties In December. 1%4. Mehta led an
historic concert featuring Jascha Heifetz to open I
Angeles' elegant Music Center Pavilion, where the
Philharmonic plays its winter season programs
Outside Los Angeles Mehta has been a welcome
guest with at least 20 major orchestras and several
opera companies.
During this period Mr. Boulez also became associate
with the summer courses and festival at Darmstadt,
Germany. In 1960, he was appointed a principal con-
ductor of the Southwest German Radio in Baden-
Baden He has also been a guest conductor of the
London Symphony Orchestra, New Philharmoma
Orchestra, Berlin Philharmonic, Amsterdam Con-
cerlgebouw, Vienna Philharmoic. Los Angeles
Philharmonic, and at the music festivals of Edinburgh.
Bayreuth, Holland. Vienna, Israel and Ojai. As a
conductor, he has become closely identified with he
music of Berg, Schoenberg, Webern, Stravinsky.
Bartok, Debussy, Schumann, Berlioz, Mahler and
Wagner Among his own compositions are three piano
sonatas, Pli Selon Pli, Soleil des eaux, Eclat, and the
widely-perfomed Le marteau sans maitre.
(An adaptation of a retrospective written by David
Walley for Rock Magazine upon Frank Zappa's an-
nouncement of his decision to disband the Mothers of
Invention.)
Pierre Boulez, who was bom in Mont bri son. France,
in 1925, is equalh renowned as composer and con-
ductor, and is music director-elM ol the New York
Philharmonic and the BBC Symphony, afd principal
guest conductor ol the Cleveland Orchestra.
Vfter studying composition with Olivier Messiaen at
the Paris Conservator) and with Rene Leibouitz. he
became, in 1948, Music Director ol the Jean-Louis
Barrault-Madeleine Renaud Theatre Company In
1953, he founded the avant-garde concert series which
was to become known as the "Domaine Musicale."
The Mothers are dead. At least that was what the
press release said a few days ago. To me the idea of the
Mothers not gigging is an unmitigated disaster not only
for the musicians, but more importanly for the
audiences who will be deprived of good music. Frank's
music strained the senses; it was music that made one
think beyond British Blues, B.B. King riffs, or
superstar ego-tripping and publicity hype games.
Admittedly, Frank himself had much to do with
killing the group. He wanted something his audiences
couldn't give him. He wanted to be understood and
( uinprehended as a composer and a musician, not a
"pop performer." But, for a generation which has
grown accustomed to flash, it was doubly hard to relate
to a muscian if he played music without the trimmings.
Apparently more people came to see the Mothers
because of their visuals than because of their music
They wanted a show, not to be exposed to a musical
form which was far ahead of its lime. Laughing at the
Mothers was the hip thing to do. The Mothers passed
1 1 Mm the performing arena because Zappa's public
expected him to act the part of the iconoclast rather
than be one.
Zappa is a serious, dedicated composer who wanted
to do something more than entertain people. Perhaps
he expected too much trying to have people listen lo
rather than consume" his music. Audiences regarded
Frank as a freak. Reluctantly, he realized that those
who went to see him were interested only in telling
their friends what he said to hecklers The show was
more important than the music.
His early albums, beginning in 1966 with "Freak
Out" and "Absolutely Free," were bought more for
curiosity than for what they said; something with
which to terrorize parents Frank was committed not
to turning people on to drugs, but to turning them
towards sell -reflection and an awareness of their
environment. Songs like "Plastic People.' America
Drinks and Goes Home, " Trouble Coming Every
Day." "I'm Losing Status At The High School, were a
few ol his better known sociologically oriented num-
bers.
In one of the lesser known pieces, "What's the
Ugliest Part of Your Body'.'." we find these lines :
All your children are poor unfortunate victims of
systems beyond their control.
A plague upon your ignorance and the grey despair
ol your ugly life.
Where did Annie go when she went to town
Who are all those freaks that she brings around
All your children are poor unfortunate victims of
lies you believe
A plague upon your ignorance that keeps the young
from the truth they deserve.
This furnishes us with a basic picture of Zappa's
attitude toward his audience.
In "Lumpy Gravy," the basic structure of the
composition is fundamental to classical orchestral
music; introduction of a theme, its subsequent
restatement, and modification through the various
instrumental void
Typicalh . when the work was, confronted at all, its
unil\ went unrecognized Rather, it was regarded as
an assemblage ot diverse musical forms: open music,
electronic music, theatre, aleatoric music (music b\
chance operation), and choral expression. Fur-
thermore. Zappa s extension ol classical thematic
technique through the use ot environments remained
unperceived. Central musical statements in "Lumpy
Gravy" were surrounded by sequences [whether
music, speech, etc. I which by their very juxtaposition
were intended as modifiers. The original statements
reveal themselves lo their fullest only when evaluated
within their musical climates. A similar attitude of
approach would be useful with regard to the material
lo be presented at Pauley Pavilion May 15.
It would be ironic indeed if the disbandment of the
Mothers achieves what Zappa himself could not ac-
complish. . .focusing attention on what was and con-
tinues lo oe his most important concern, the music.

Not if we become aware of what we are doing to
ourselves. Not if we realize that incredible amounts of
sham and shit are being offered us on silver
platters and called Education. Not if we recognize
what we've been eating for so long.
Education, the real lady, doesn't wear gaudv

i the real lady) doesn't speak in gentle tones; face it
man, she uses filthy language and words that reek of
reality.
Look at her; listen to what she says. She cries out
about our earth, that we've "ravaged and plundered
and ripped her and bit her, stuck her with knives in the
sight of the dawn and dragged her down." She cries out
about society, offieiaI-U.S.-demoeratic-freedom for all-
society where defendants are bound and gagged and
chained at their own trials, where conscientious ob-
jectors are thrown in prison, where a movie like Easy

like it is. because it's ten times worse.
There aren't too many classes here that get the

Well, a lew. Maybe. But to restructure the entire
educational setup and give Education a chance to
sneak on-campus is gonna take a long, long time, and

consequences are not so easilv recognized and

Let me exemplify this bv use of a recent event. CLC
BEACH PARTY at Westward Beach, an area we may
refer to as a part ol the commons. The organizing part v
either failed to organize a clean up following the event
or 1 1 such a group was organized thev failed to follow
up. for the following day the beach was still littered
with the debris from the CLC BEACH PARTY. It may
have been assumed by the organizing group that this
lunction would be taken care of by the state services
from Zuma Beach but this is an over assumption on
their pari, since such services are limited to say the
least at Zuma itself.
We max usethis event to follow the Hardinian logic
m a manner somewhal along the following lines:
1) The positive component is a function ol profit
mentally and physically gained from maximizing the
commons while exerting the minimum amount of
energy into the system while extracting the maximum
from it
This will yield a utility component of nearlv plus l
wine minus the exerted energy).
2) The negative component is a function of how this
profit takine affects the commons and since tin
spread over I he entire community which utilizes its
resources, tins function of utihtv is a fraction of -l i.,
any particular individual.
If this path is followed, one quicklv observes thai it
is un-eeonomic. both menlalh and physically, not to
maximize (he use of the commons ii viewed from an

L) The positive componenl a function ol thedegri i
of involvement of the individual and also of the degree
to which the involvement regulates the manner in
which the individual maximizes the utilization of the
commons. Directly in proportion to these degrees ol
variability the component of utility will range to an
upper limit of plus 1.
Tin negative component is a function of these
dcurees of variability and a function of the variabilis
in the collective body of individuals who are Utilizii
the commons This component may therefore range
from plus 1 to -1 depending upon these variable.factoi
It this second path is followed and a select or ehic
cross section of individuals are surveyed (such as
those who would comprise the membership of a clean
up committee i then the sum of the J components will

i ix.siiion of maximum utilization with minimum
detriment.
Again quoting from Hardin. "Each man is locked
into a system which compels him to increase m a
world that is limited Ruin is the destination towards
which all men rush. " The BEACH PARTY and its
lueni kick of policing may not lead to ruin, but it
may impair CLC position oi environmental influence

It is our responsibility to utilize what we have in the

The Coffee House at California
Lutheran College is now open for
CLC and community use, ac-
cording to Fred Wolf, Director of
the College Union. One of the first
groups to use this building was
the Community Leaders Club on
Monday, April 6.
The Department of Biological
Sciences of CLC will present an
overview of the department of-
ferings as the program.
The barn which is being
transformed into a rustic coffee
house was given by the Janss
Corporation. The College moved
it onto the campus to its present
location adjacent to the College
Union Building. Renovating is
taking place slowly with plans for
rustic furniture, wagon wheel
lights, and brands on the wooden
walls.
During the Spring Quarter, the
Coffee House will be kept open by
the College Union Board from
about 5:00 to 10:00 or 11:00 p.m.
weekdays — possibly later on the
weekends. The kitchen will be
manned by College Union per-
sonnel with coffee and soft drinks
available. Some entertainment —
both from off-campus sources
and students — will be planned
for the weekend nights.
The College Coffee House will
be available to off-campus
groups desiring an informal
atmosphere. The College Union
office will handle such requests.

On The Earth
The massive "Teach-In on the Environment"
scheduled to take place on more than a thousand
college campuses April 22 offers dramatic hope that
further destruction of our planet may be stopped,
according to Senator Gaylord Nelson (D., Wis.), the
man who started the project rolling.
Writing in the April Reader's Digest. Sen. Nelson
recalls that he first proposed the national en-
vironmental teach-ins in a speech at Seattle last fall.
"We expected the response to be good." he writes.
"It has been tremendous. A thousand colleges and
univ re expected to participate, along with
hundreds of high schools; civic groups, garden clubs,
the League of Women Voters and conservation
organizations have also offered a helping hand to make
the day a success."
Already, (he Senator says, the movement to protest
tun her damage to the environment "has produced a
series of small miracles in college communities an
the nation." University <>i Illionis students pulleu
tons ol refuse from a creek near the Champaign
campus. Washington, D.C. law students brought legal
action recently to force the transit authority to reduce
pollution from its buses. Texas University Students
managed to save -nine trees that the university had
planned to cut down. Students at the State University ol
New York prevented the bulldozing ol a 50-acre marsh
on the edge of the campus. All of these "miracles"
have been accomplished peacefully, the Senator notes.
While local projects will form the major focus of the
April 22 Teach-ins. Sen. Nelson suggests that the
concerns voiced on that day may lead ultimately to
"some radical changes in our national habits."
"Are we prepared, for example, to make economic
modifications in our system to reverse the disastrous
trend. . .to dispose of disposable bottles. . to levy some
kind of tax to assure that junk cars are collected and
recycled. . .to say to the oil companies that they must
not drill offshore. . .to develop a land-use policy, to say.
'You must not destroy anymore'?"
The Teach-ins will help to dramatize these questions.
But April 22 will be a success only if it sparks "a
national commitment to do something," Sen. Nelson
writes.
day Teachin
"We have met the enemy and they are us."
Recent history proves that student concern
can move establishment mountains — inclu.
ding the new one now poking through the
Biosphere. This is why ecologically-aware
colleges and universities across the U.S.
are currently being contacted by a new
company called "Earth First."
The people at Earth First feel that stu-
dents have emerged as the true leaders of
the '70s, and student commitment to the
environment may be the only thing that
will save the earth.
Alrady, students are taking positive action
by sampling waters, reporting industrial
infractions of antipollution laws, and by
organizing "teach-ins." Positive action in
another direction must coincide with current
efforts, however, if student concern is to
change into a national cause.
NATIONAL AWARENESS. . .
. . .must build if a truly effective pro-
gram for environmental re-cycling and con-
trol is to become a reality. Man's mess is
going to cost a great deal to clean-up —
both in money and in individual coopera-
tion and effort.
Bonds must be voted. . .communities
must join together to make sure anti-pollu-
tion measures are followed. . .you and I
and every other U.S. citizen must take the
initiative for mankind.
"EARTH FIRST" IS MANKIND FIRST!
We live in a visual age. Because of this,
the Earth First organization feels that na-
tional awareness mig.it besl t>e effected
through a visual commitment. "Earth First"
butons, stickers, arm bands and posters
say it all to anyone who can see. Every
"Earth First" and "Ecology Now" visual
says "do it nowl" Each provokes and
transforms mankind's mandate into posi-
tive action.
If you do your part In helping to spread
"Earth First" across the country, every-
one might still not know the definition of
"ecology." But everyone will know the
definition of "survival."
And that's what it's all about.
FUND RAISING groups are invited to
request information, on letterhead, for
"Earth First" vsual sales. Write to: Earth

"All You Have To Lose
Is All That You Have"
Dennis L.Tobin
"If the man on the end has one dollar and I have one
hundred dollars and this man on the right robs us, what
have we lost? One dollar, $100, we have both lost all we
got. . " Such were the words and the theme of Bill
Russell last Sunday night in the CLC Gym. Speaking
Ix-fore nearly 300 students, Mr. Russell admonished the
audience to ". . De involved because you have a
stake. . ."
Speaking as a man, not as a basketball player (a
dehumanizing phrase he finds distasteful) the 6*9"
Black tied together the contemporary issues oi today
and of tomorrow into an articulate package. With no
notes and ". . straight from the shouler. . ." Russell
called the draft and lottery systems '".... a cruel
hoax . . ." and from this attitude proposed a system of
universal service where only draftees would serve and
fight , and in which the qualifieat ions to become eligible
for the draft would be threefold: 1 ) An age of 40 years.
2> an income of $15,000 per year and 3) the holding ot
political office would result in immediate classification
1-A.
Regarding pollution, Russell pointed out a fact often
unrecognized by many individuals, that being ". . .that
I ho people who pollute are also the people who are
responsible for racism, war, and poverty." He
suggested that it might be possible to " pay polluters
to stop. . ." since it is the profit motive which drives
I horn.
Commenting on America in general he drew familiar
parallels between 1970 America and Nazi Germany,
especially in relationship to laws, the New Federalism
and patriotism. On laws he wisely advised that we
"question a proposed law and ask what will it mean to
me and what will it do to me." It may not effect you
now but it may when the repression comes to your
group. A patriot is not a person who wears a "love it or
leave it" coat of armsandas he stated he is not leaving.
He briefly mentioned the "no knock law" on marijuana
and said we had no such problem on this church
campus. This he all tied together with the New
Federalism of the TRICKY DICK THREE RING
CIRCUS AND AERIAL BALLET and its chief clown
THE FLYING ORAL CAVITY GREEK who is the
only one to ever go on a panty raid and come back with
a jock strap.
On race he said all are prejudiced for prejudice is
taste and that ". . .if its not right for evervone then its
not right for anyone ." "America is a "bowl of sole
soup, everything is an ingredient with identity
With, "I am a man. no more and no less and life is
about people." the discussion was opened for
questions. If anything could have distracted from
Russell's quotable quotes and monologue it was the
i typical0 i degree of intelligence employed by the CLC
students in their questioning of Russell -What was the
highlight of your basketball career or Whose better
Wilt or Oscar"
Russell is so tall that not much goes over his head;
it's a shame that the same thing can not be said for
CLC students and their questions.

Children's Workshop
Rodeo Queen
The Children's Summer
Creative Arts Workshop will be
presented by California Lutheran
College on the campus for four
weeks, beginning June 29 and
closing July 24. Classes will be
held from 8:00 a.m. to noon,
Monday through Friday.
As a result of a successful
similar workshop last summer,
Mrs. Jeanne Bosco, CLC lecturer
in dance, announces that children
between the ages of six and 13
years of age will be given an
opportunity to express them-
selves in music, art, drama,
dance, writing and science. Dr.
Richard Adams, Chairman of the
Speech and Drama Department
at CLC, will be actively involved
in teaching and supervising.
Each class will be taught by an
experienced teacher who is a
specialist in his subject area. All
hold advanced professional
college degrees.
Each child will be exposed to
all areas in the curriculum.
Special interests will be given
particular consideration during
what is called a "Club Period."
Areas included will be drama,
aance, vocal music, instrumental
music (guitar), graphic arts,
pottery and sculpting, puppetry,
creative writing, communicative
arts, gymnastics, track and field
events, and science. Horseback
riding and swimming instruction
are optional and require extra
fees.
Although the six to 13-year-old
children are included at this
time, if enough interest is in-
dicated through applications, a
special session may be conducted
for the four to six-year-olds.
The Creative Arts Workshop
offers children the opportunity to
explore areas of learning not
readily available through the
regular school curriculum. The
ultimate objective is to present to
the child a "learning through
lun" experience and to aid him to
achieve a high degree of
awareness and individuality.
Enrollment is open to children
between the ages of six and 13
who appear to be academically
capable, or who exhibit an in-
terest in the arts. Enrollment for

the Ball to benefit the CLC-
Conejo Symphony Orchestra, has
announced that the semi-formal
Ball will begin with a social hour
at 7:00 p.m., followed by dinner
at 8:00 p.m. with special en-
tertainment throughout the
evening. Music for dancing will
be provided by the CLC Stage

VOL. 9, NO. 22 OF THE MOUNTCLEF ECHO (THE OFFICIAL NEWS PUBLICATION OF THE ASSOCIATED
STUDENT BODY OF CALIFORNIA LUTHERAN COLLEGE, THOUSAND OAKS, CALIFORNIA 91360)
Wednesday was Earth Day. It
was a day of thought and of action.
A day of speeches and of communion.
It was the day we showed concern for
our environment.
It started at 10:10 in the gym
with a prayer by Pastor Swanson and
the opening address by Dennis Tobin.
Dennis told of the two projects for
the day: the cleanup of litter along
Olson Road and the planting of grass
by the Coffee House.
At 10:45 the planting of the
grass began and the White Tornado
left for Olson Road. The Tornado
was overloaded with people and a
number of crowded cars followed be-
sides. By 12:30 Olson Road was
lined with trash bags. Over 150
bags were filled with paper, card-
board, beer cans, bottles, and oth-
er litter.
The Open Forum began at 1:30 by
the tennis courts where our, or per
haps I should say Man's, monument
to the environment was set up. It
consisted of various rusted parts
of automobiles that were collected
along Olson Rd . The first speaker
was the Rev. Marvin Cain speaking
on Theology and Ecology. He was
followed by Dr. Mary Thomes on Soc-
iology and Ecology, Richard Williams
(a student) on The Ecology of the
Soil Zone, Dean R.W. Edmund on Food,
William Fisher on Pesticides, and
others on from population to racism
to the Ecology of the Mind.
The evening program began at
7:30 in the gym with a short word
from Bill Fisher explaining the
evening program and then the film,
"Born in Freedom," starring Vincent
Price. It was one of those red-
white-and-blue, all -hail -the-Amer-
ican-way films that are shown to
school kids to show how great this
country is. It was so bad that it
was obvious that it was chosen for
that reason. It was followed by
Mr. McCurrey, a representative of
GOO (Get Oil Out) . He spoke on the
problems in Santa Barbara due to
oil leakage and commented on the
film by saying it would have been
a good idea if they had stopped
when Drake (of Drake's Folly) had
run into difficulty drilling.
After Mr. McCurrey finished the
film, "Crisis in the City, What's
Happening?," was shown. It showed
the problems of overcrowding, ghet-
tos, traffic jams, morals, etc. in
the cities today. Mayor Charles
Cohen of thousand Oaks spoke after
that film on the Problems of Plan-
ning. He told what TO has done in
the way of planning and to save the
ecology and some of the things it
still has to do. Bill Fisher then
•a****-
announced to meet at the firecircle
for the procession to plant the
trees and have the Agape Feast.
At 10:30 an oak tree was plant-
ed by the Coffee House and a pep-
per tree was planted across the
street. Dave Randle, Religious
Activities Commissioner, gave the
dedication for Dennis Tobin. He
said that the oak tree was planted
with a prayer and in hope because
it's been rumored that the Coffee
House will be torn down in five
years for the north campus. The
Earth Day Agape Feast was then held
in the Coffee House. Everyone par-
took and gave food to one another
as a sign of love and communion.
The Feast lasted til about 12:00.
Earth Day was Wednesday, April
22, but if Earth is to continue as
a fit place to live we will have to
think of every day as Earth Day and
do atll we can to save our environ-
ment.

Caldwell Leaving
Our library, in its nine years of existence,
has been directed by Mr. Caldwell who is now
going to leave CLC after a long and invaluable
service. In an interview with the Echo last
week, he spoke on the history of the library,
its qualities, needs, and its potentialities.
The library came into being in 1961 in the
'E' building. At that time it contained 8,500
books, and we subscribed to 150 periodicals.
Many of the books came from people who
donated not only books but also back copies of
magazines. Some of our early faculty
members and other people associated with
the college donated books also, including Dr.
Roy Peel, Dr. Dahl and Dr. Farwell. Some
established Lutheran colleges were also
important in sending us book materials.
Mr. Caldwell started working in the April of
1961, and was helped by Mrs. Koto who is still
with us at CLC. A clerk was also available.
The student body also played a part in those
early times and this is illustrated by the fact
that 12 students were employed as library
assistants. In the summer of 1962 Miss
Abrahamson joined the staff of the library, at
the time when preparations were being made
to transfer the books to the present location.
At that time we had 12,000 volumes ap-
proximately and the books were transferred
as soon as the floors being laid out, a very
narrow time limit.
After the first two years the library really
began to grow. In the fall of 1963 the book
collection had soared to 18,500 volumes and
the financial support was substantial. Growth
averages about 6,000 volumes a year,
sometimes in excess of that number.
Today our library is comparitively good.
We have had a steady rate of growth and we
favourably compete with the other similar
Lutheran institutions in the resources we
allocate to the library which is undoubtably
an integral part of any institution. Last month
our book collection number 60,437 volumes,
with subscriptions to 622 periodicals. In other
words we subscribe to more than four times
as many periodicals and we have increased
our book collection by more than seven times.
A truly substantial growth in nine years. Mr.
Caldwell who had anticipated a book
collection of 50,000 in ten years calls the rate
of growth "steady."
Every library has a future, one of rapid
growth and expansion. Every library at one
time or another lacks space for this growth.
Our library's main problem is evident. It is
one of space. At the rate we are growing we
can use our present premises — that is : the
main library, the Annex, and the storage
room — for the next two years plus. It is hard
for one to determine the long range future.
In the meantime, however, Mr. Caldwell is
generally pleased with the way the library is
used by students. However, he says, a library
needs to be placed in the central area of the
college, if it is going to be used to its full
potential by the students, preferably as close
to the classrooms as possible. The
microfilms, which we started to collect as
early as 1962, are being used well too. We
have some microfilms of materials dating
back to 1884
Today CLC library is staffed by three and a
half professional workers and four clerks, one
of whom, Mrs. Adams, has been working
diligently for a very long time. In addition to
this 24 students are employed on a part-time
basis, some of whom work long hours into the
night just to keep it open, — a commendable
action.
Mr. Caldwell will still be doing library work
in Stanislaus State College, his future place of
work, where he will be Head of Technical
Services. The Echo praises Mr. Caldwell for
his sizable contribution to the growth of CLC,
and wishes him the best in the future.

Computer
A fairly recent development in the educational ap-
plication of computers has been the formation of
educational computer networks in which a number of
schools join together in the use of a common central
computer facility. The network concept functions to
bring within the range of economic feasibility ad-
vanced computer systems such as would be impossible
for the individual members of the network. In addition,
it brings the institutions together in a way that en-
courages the communication and sharing of their
experiences and their programs for utilization of the
computer.
CLC has joined with the University of Redlands,
Occidental, La Verne, and the Claremont Colleges to
form a regional computer network with central
facilities at California Institute of Technology. Ter-
minals now operating on the campus give our faculty
and students direct access to a modern time-sharing
computer system which is on the frontier of computer
language development.
Time-sharing systems permit many users to operate
the computer through individual typewriter consoles at
essentially the same time because a large proportion of
the operating time involves use of the typewriter either
by the operator or by automated response from the
computer. Programming languages have been
developed which take advantage of the direct user-
On
computer interaction to greatly reduce the specialized
learning required for creative use of the computer. In
addition, many specific programs are coming into
being which can be used with little instruction other
than those incorporated into the programs themselves
and given to the user as part of the computer output.
Included among the computer programming
languages now being processed for use by the network
is a new language, REL (Rapidly Extensible
Language), which has been developed at Cal Tech.
This highly user-oriented language can be rapidly
extended by the user at the terminal by a definition-
generating process. REL has already been extended
into a natural English-like language which will enable
a non-mathematically oriented user to deal with in-
formation such as social or political data in terms of
verbal questions involving the relationships between
any factors that can be defined in terms of the ac-
cessible information.
The REL facility will make it possible to give every
student at California Lutheran College a "hands-on"
experience with computers, regardless of his major
field. Students will be encouraged not only to utilize the
computer in specific directed course-related ways, but
also in undirected ways subject only to priority con-
trols dictated by the limits of available time.
In view of CLC's aim to prepare students for the
future, it becomes increasingly important for them to
Campus
have first-hand contact with a modern computer
system. Their experience should be one of becoming
acquainted the computer not only as a piece of
technical equipment but also as a tool applicable to the
problems of many academic disciplines. This ex-
perience will modify their approach to many sub-
sequent problems and better prepare them for a world
in which the computer will be increasingly prominent.
Many applications of the computer still need to be
developed. The tremendous promise which the com-
puter ol fers as an educational tool demands that we not
wait for the development of specific programs by other
institutions. A self-education education must be pur-
sued as we seek to find the optimum role for the
i uinputer in the context of our liberal education ob-
jectives.
\ really modern computer system must be dynamic
— capable of growing to take advantage of the rapid
advances in computer technology. This regional
network system brings such a facility to California
Lutheran College. It also gives us the opportunity to
participate in that growth in the arena of educational
applications.
The establishment of this network has been made
possible by National Science Foundation grants to the
participating colleges.
Searle To Speak
At CLC
Dr. John R Searle, philosopher-educator,
will be convocation speaker in California
Lutheran College's Auditorium on Monday,
April 27, at 9:30 a.m. The public is invited at
no admission charge.
Dr. Searle will speak on "Campus
Upheaval as Viewed by a Philosopher."
Professor of philosophy at the University of
California, Berkeley, since 1959, Dr. Searle
has taken an active part in student affairs
there and was a leader of the faculty group
during the Free Speech Movement. In the fall
of 1965, he became Special Assistant to the
Chancellor for Student Affairs at Berkeley.
Married and the father of two children, Dr.
Searle was educated at the Universities of
Wisconsin and Oxford, where he was a
Rhodes Scholar. He taught philosophy at
Oxford from 1956 through 1959, when he joined
the Berkeley faculty.
His publications include a book on the
philosophy of language published by the
Cambridge University Press, "Speech Acts,
an Essay in the Philosophy of Language."

Considerations used in tabulations:
1) Survey forms having: a) no answer, b) no opinion,
c ) "I don't know. . ." etc. were placed in the No Opinion
column, hence the extremely high concentration in this
column for questions 8 through 10 inclusive. This
format was followed as a means of facilitating the
tallying process and these questions and the
discrepancies involved from this methodology will be
resolved in Section III — Questioned Breakdown.
2) Survey forms with responses of "I think so. . ."
etc. were credited to the yes column as affirmative
responses. This also will be resolved in Section III.
3) Forms bearing marginal responses were credited
to both columns involved and hence the discrepancies
in the total columns, of questions 2 and 3, above the
total number of 183 returned responses.
I. Based on the most recent available information,
presented by the administration freely and without
complaint or reluctance, as of Jan. 15th, 1970, 637
students were housed in on-campus college sponsored
residences in the following areas.
1) Mountclef Inn (men)
2) Alpha and Beta Dorms (women)
3) Regents Court (men and women)
4) McAfee Apartments (men 1st and 2nd stories;
women 3rd story)
At the time of this tally, 183 survey forms were
returned yielding a resultant cross section of 30 per
cent of the residentially housed student body.
However, this figure is influenced by several fac-
tors :
a ) not all 637 received survey forms.
b) we are still receiving survey forms, and
c) not all of those receiving the survey responded.
From these variables it appears that the upper level
or limit of response will yield a cross-section of ap-
proximately 40 per cent, plus or minus 2 per cent, of the
on-campus student community
This degree of response is of significant importance
due to the fact that it represents a substantial per-
centage of the residentially housed student body and
this representation yields a high degree of validity to
the representativeness of the survey itself.

4) If no definite column existed and'or if the response
could not be interpreted, no tally was recorded and
hence the low total responses to questions 4 and 5 Both
considerations 3 and 4 will also be resolved in Section
TABLE A (numerical tabulations)
The percentage error figures were the resultants of
the aforementioned considerations and were
augmented on the foundations presented in Section I.
Responses to questions 6 and 7 were not included as
stated on the table due to their non-adaptability to the
tables structural format. Questions 6 and 7 will be
developed in detail in Section III.
Question No. 2: A yes answer is interpreted as
meaning, 'Yes, in my opinion, my room has been
entered without my presence and'or consent.
A negative response is interpreted as meaning, "In
my opinion, my room has not been entered without my
presence and or consent.
Responses credited to the No Opinion column were
based upon the considerations stated above.
Question No. 3: An affirmative response was in-
terpreted as meaning, "Yes, I have definite proof of
entry into my room by persons without my presence
and or consent."
A no answer may be interpreted as meaning "I do
not have definite proof that my room has been entered
without my presence and or consent." A negative
response however may correspond to an affirmative
answer to Question No. 2 and the inter-relations bet-
ween these responses will be examined in detail in
Section III.
Response of no opinion - same as above.
Question No. 4:
An affirmative answer may be interpreted as
meaning, "I know of tampering of my personal
belongings by persons who entered my room without
my presence and or consent."
A negative response may be interpreted as meaning.
"To my knowledge my personal belongings have not
been tampered with by persons entering my room.
A response of no opinion may be interpreted as
meaning:
1) "I have no opinion!"
2) "I do not care to state an opinion ! "
3) "I'm not sure. . .", or
4) "Yes and No" - not sure.
This will be expanded in Section III.
Question No. 5:
A yes answer may be interpreted as meaning "Due
to entry into my room without my presence and or
consent, I am missing personal belongings."
A negative response may be interpreted as meaning
"I am not missing personal belongings due to entries
into my room without my presence and or consent.
No opinion-same as for Question No. 2.
Questions 6 to 10 inclusive will be developed in
espanded form in Section III.
Question No. 11:
An affirmative response to this question may be
interpreted as meaning, "In my opinion entry into my
room, without my presence and or consent, by College
officials is a valid function of a Christian college."
A negative response to this question may be in-
terpreted as meaning, "In my opionion entry into my
room without my presence and or consent is not a valid
function of a Christian college.
No opinion responses were handled as stated under
Section II, question 2.
These interpretations were generally followed as
guidelines for the tabulations of Table" A. Following
these guidelines and Table A the following numerical
relationships may be developed.
1) Eight out of ten on campus residents felt that their
rooms had been entered extra-legally.
2) Approximately 75 per cent of those who felt their
rooms had been entered also felt they had definite
proof of this entry.
3) One out of four students felt that their personal
belongings had been tampered with.
4) 8 out of 9 students returning the survey form felt
that any non-consented to or presence during entry into
their rooms was an invalid action, within a Christian
college, by a college official. Whereas one out of twelve
students returning the survey forms felt that this was a
valid action.
5) One out of seven polled on campus residents are
missing personal belongings.
6) One out of nine of the surveyed group reported
actions directed toward them due to entries into their
rooms.
TABLE B (percentage tabulations)
TABLE B was prepared from the numerical
tabulations of TABLE A and evolved from a need for
more precise relationships than those stated above.
TABLE B is therefore also based on the same con-
siderations and criterion as TABLE A and evolves
from the same means of interpretations. Since these
percentages more or less speak for themselves within
the framework of guidelines already established only
the grossest figures need be noted:
1) 78 per cent of those students returning forms
believe that their rooms have been entered without
permission and'or presence. 58 per cent of the surveyed
group has what they consider "definite proof" of this
entry.
2) 24 per cent of the reporting forms responded in the
affirmative in regards to the tampering with of per-
sonal articles and 16 per cent reported articles missing
or seized.
3) 8 per cent of the total survey and 50 per cent of
those responding in the affirmative to missing articles
1
rvey ■
have reported these articles missing. 62.5 per cent of
these reports have resulted in subsequent action, but
(his figure is offset by 11 per cent of the total group
responding that action had been brought against them
due to entries into their rooms without their presence
and or consent.
4) The most impressive figure resulted from
responses to question No. 11: with 85 per cent of the
survey group denying the validity of entry by College
officials within the context of the Christian college,
while only 8 per cent affirmed the colleges right of
unannounced entry, with 6 per cent stating no opinion.
This basically sums up the columnar tabulations of this
preliminary report.
SECTION III - Question Breakdown:
This section will be devoted to the further breakdown
of those questions (6 and 7) not covered in the
columnar tabulations and those which required or
resulted in more than responses to the affirmative and
or the negative.
1 ) As stated before an affirmative reply to question 2
might be countered by a negative response in question
No. 3 (in several cases the reverse was also true). We
therefore find:

Since the No Opinion total difference yielded no net
change, all net differences between the yes column and
the no column would also be expected to be minimized,
however as stated before, as a guideline of the
tabulating committee, was the duplication of marginal
responses to both effected columns and this
methodology has tended to increase the "apparent"'
decline of affirmative responses to question No. 3 for
only the affirmative responses will tend to change.
This may have in effect yielded two negative
responses, rather than a positive and a negative. Again
working with the previously stated augmentation we
are still working in an area of 2 per cent. Depending
on the degrees to which these variable affect the total,
we may anticipate, after the secondary results are
compiled, an increase of from 2 to 7 per cent upward
for, the affirmative responses of, question No. 3 above
the present 58 per cent.
2) Question No. 4 was responded to, as to the tam-
pering with of personal belongings, in several
fashions :
a) "Yes - they removed contents from cupboards"
(and identified in Question No. 6 as "communal room
property")
bi "Yes - things in drawers, etc. were messed up"
c) "drawers disheveled"
d) "drawers messed"
e) the above three responses were from three dif-
ferent housing areas, Regents, Beta, and McAfee.
1 1 "missing silverware -yes" (several returns listed
this item and in most cases it was private, not cafeteria
silverware and also these cases occurred in all on
campus areas of residence)
g) "Yes - they removed items. . ."
h) The most startling statement (2 other similar
reports from different rooms in McAfee) was: "Yes,
my room was taken over by baseball players. I came
back and found one in my bed. I was then charged for
staying in the room."
According to page eleven of the 1969-1970 Pioneer
item "Room Contracts," "Students contract rooms for
the quarter . ." If you believe this to be true, attempt
to move off campus over a quarter break and you will
find that "rooms are contracted yearly. . .(personnel
communication." If this is true, it would seem
reasonable and practical (since most students leave a
great deal of.personal belongings behind over quarter
breaks and since keys must be issued) that those in-
dividuals remaining on campus and in college spon-
sored housing not be moved into rooms "contracted" to
other students. Also it would appear to be quite logical
that, if rooms are "contracted for the quarter" and
that if "Each student. . .assumes legal and moral
responsibilities to conform to all student regulations
(,u^' ' .fh?n the same "le8al and moral respon-
sibilities should be reciprocated back to the students
by the administration" ... as positive signs of a
thoughtful and consistent way of life which fits the
nature of this College. (Pres. Olson, Pioneer pg 4,"
It may be easily recognized that these itemized
reports may be developed to support Question No 3
"(i.e., definite proof)" however several others were
also reported and may serve to "correct any erroneous
impressions."
a) "We were told that maintenance' men inspected
the room over vacation." (Beta)
b) tampered with ". . .desk, wall coverings and
closet." (Mountclef) '
c) "Dean Heckerson asked for a representative or
the whole room to talk to her. This was done. We were
called in for one bottle of wine in the refrigerator which
didn't belong to us and had been used for cooking. We
were also told that this hadn't been a liquor check. I
had a plug in which worked before I left but when I
returned it no longer worked." (Regents) When was
the last time you left your refrigerator door open over a
quarter break? If this was not a liquor check then why
was a closed refrigerator door opened when one was
presence. I do not believe this to be an "erroneous
impression."
d) "The notice posted on Alpha foyer - from Dean
Gangsei"
e) "Yes, Mrs. B. told us she came in during
vacation" however a roommate reported "Mrs. B. said
'maintenance men' entered." (Beta)
f ) 2 reports from McAfee yielded the following: "Yes
-without my consent - McAfee Head Resident and asst.
Head Resident (Rick Doig)", and the second "Yes - we
had put a seal over the door."
With approximately 60 per cent of the survey group
responding in the affirmative to Question No. 3 and on
the basis of the proof or statements of proof posted
above, it is difficult to justify how the "erroneous
impressions" of the College Council could lay within
the student body.
item "Narcotics and Drugs"
". . .This right to search shall be exercised with
judgment and discretion and with due regard for the
right of the room occupants. Permission shall be
secured from the students involved before any search
is made of his personal belongings. If this permission is
not granted, then the College shall proceed no further
until a search warrant has been secured from the civil
authorities. The subsequent search will be conducted
by civil personnel."
1969-70 Pioneer, pg. 24
This is a truly democratic ruling and regulation and
does appear on the surface to be both valid and legal. It
is'!) for this applies only to cases where ". . .it is
believed there might be narcotics concealed." For
normal room entries the College policy is stated on
page nine of the Pioneer :
"The College reserves the right to hold unannounced
room inspections at any time." One was held during
the winter quarter of 1967 between 2 and 3 in the
morning, during which it was related to me, by a
member of that room, that all phone calls were traced
from their room out.
Question No. 5 asked if any personal belongings were
seized and Question No. 6 followed with "what were
these belongings?"
With the affirmative responses to question No. 5
involving 16 per cent of the returned survey forms, the
following list of belongings missing was compiled:
1) hanging fixtures 3
2) wall decorations 6
3) kitchen utensils (not silverware 3
4) money 6
5) records andtor tapes 3
6) wallets, ID's, check books 3
7) drinking glasses 1
8) personal silverware 2
9) "No Smoking signs" and picture of a joint 7
10) wine 4
11) stop sign 2
12) telephone *
Question No. 7 asked, "In your opinion who was
responsible for the entering and or seizure of these
articles?" From the opinion of the students answering
this question the following list was compiled:
1) Not sure 25
2) Administration (in general) 22
3) Dean Gangsei 14
4) George Bucholz (not including maintenance) 19
5) Lillich's 10
6) Mrs.B. 9
7) Maintenance 8
8) Resident Assistants 5
9) Head resident (not including Lillich's and Mrs. B. 8
10) Other students 3
1 1 ) athletes from other schools 2
12) no comment, no opinion 106
Total 231
The no comment and no opinion total is very directly
related to the totals tabulated for questions No. 3 and
No. 5, for persons answering No or No opinion to either
of these questions then not capable of yielding an
opinion on the individuals "responsible for the entering
and or seizure of these articles."
The total number of persons held responsible is
greater than the total number of surveys returned due
to the multiple answers present on many of the
returned forms. It might be noted that the total number
of people regarded as being responsible for the entries
and or seizures exceeds the total number of no com-
ment and no opinion responses. It might also be noted
that this question was extremely unbiased in its format
and that its role was not one of incrimination but rather
one of terminating "erroneous impressions."
Questions No. 8 and No. 9 are directly related to
Question No. 7 and were established primarily along a
guideline that : if these entries and seizures were not by
college representatives, but rather by outside in-
dividuals (thiefs, for example) then it would be ex-
pected that the College administrators and their staffs
would have yielded a tremendous effort in the direction
of resolving this situation. This idealism was not,
however, expressed by those individuals who
responded to this question as the following examples
will illustrate:
1) missing articles (question No. 6)
a) $10.00
b) one gallon of wine
Both missing during the same time interval (maybe
coincidence). No subsequent action (except $15.00 fine
for wine in the room) after reporting incident to Head
Resident.
2) "money ; wine disappeared on two occasions and a
stop sign." This occurred "during vacation(same time
as maintenance inspection - again maybe coin-
cidence). . .1 was busted by Roger Hooban and the
money was evidently stolen and the sign was taken by
George Bucholz." Subsequent "attempt to retrieve
articles? Or have you reported them missing?" "Yes,
the wine was of violation of the rules (sic) and wasn't
given to me." "Has any action been taken following
your report (Question No. 9)? "Not to my knowledge."
3) missing articles: "no smoking sign and picture of
a joint."
Have you made an attempt to retrieve these ar-
ticles? Or have you reported them missing?"
(Question No. 8)
"Yes, we talked to the Dean; he said the sign
belonged to the College (it didn't) and nothing was said
about the picture."
"Has any action been taken following your report?"
(Question No. 9) "No!"
Again these articles were both personal belongings
and were seized during a maintenance inspection (they
were eventually fined for the sign). A roommate
responded with the following statement, as close to the
original as he could remember George Bucholz's
words, "I searched every room well and I didn't search
them alone either. . ."
The above three incidents occurred in Mountclef , the
following occurred in Beta Dorm.
4) missing articles: a) "money, records"; b)
"wallet, ID, checkbook"; c) $10.00" Question No. 8: a)
"Yes"; b) "Yes, no lock"; c) "I mentioned it to Mrs.
B. . ." "Has any action been taken following your
report (Question No. 9)?" a) "No, Mrs, B. said it was
probably one of our own room mates— which has
proven insane!" b) "Yes-but no results") c) "NO"
5) From Alpha came more promising responses. To
avoid upsetting what may be already somewhat
strained relations, the preceding format will be
temporarily abandoned and only a summary
presented :
Articles were discovered missing from a room en-
tered without either presence and or consent by a
fellow student. The articles were reported missing and
Mrs. Proehl and Dean Heckerson followed up the
report and recoverred the missing articles.
This was the only case out of the fifteen reported
which indicated any follow up to the submittance of a
report. This lack of College official concern opens at
least three possible lines of thought) 1) the officials
know that these missing articles are not the result of
robbery (i.e., breaking and entering into the rooms,
but that they are the result of some other type of
"sponsored" program. 2) This lack of concern
illustrates a non-responsible attitude and if this is true,
then possibly a change in personnel is warranted. 3)
Possibly this lack of follow-up is the result of not
realizing or understanding the responsibilities of these
official positions within the residential housing com-
munity.
If an attempt is truly being made to "correct,
.erroneous impressions" (this survey is proof of our
position) the possibly official College action might be
initiated towards correcting these incidents and
possibly disproving some of the "erroneous im-
pressions" which have been generated by this very
lack of follow up, not only to reports missing student
articles, to all student problems or as one student put
it:
"In my opinion nothing that the students ever bring
up to someone (administrator) is considered fairly and
justly. The student has no one at his defense other than
the other studeents."
If College Council desires to "correct Any erroneous
impressions, "they may begin here, at the grass roots.
Question No. 10 "Has any action been directed
towards you as a result of the aforementioned entry? If
so, by whom? Explain.
With eleven per cent of the surveyed group an-
swering this question in the affirmative, we may again
show a relationship between entry and reaction or
what might in this case be more aptly termed a
repression.
The previously mentioned party who had his "no
smoking sign and a picture of a joint" removed by
George Bucholz may be used to exemplify this
relationship.
1) His room was entered on the pretext of a main-
tenance inspection.
2) A "no smoking sign (not college property but
personal property) and a picture of a joint" were
confiscated.
3) The room was called before the Dean and fined
$10.00.
We may cite another example of these in-
consistencies. Two individuals living in the same suite
were fined different amounts (one $12.50, the other
$15.00) for the same offense, (i.e., possession of wine)
and were apprehended at the same time. It would seem
logical that since the fines were rendered for
possession of wine (all other variables then must be
eliminated by the body rendering the assessment) that
both individuals should have been fined equally or not
fined at all. Since these fines are generally rendered by
Standards, which must follow guidelines established
by administrative policy, we suggest that this policy be
closely re-inspected by the administration such that
these inequities may be resolved.
Question No. 11 : "Do you think that entry by College
officials into your room without your presence and or
consent is a valid action by a Christian college?"
Referring to Table B we see:
QuestionNo.il Yes No No Opinion

85:
6/
It would seem that since 85 per cent of the on campus
residential students feel that "entry by College of-
ficials" without presence and or consent is not a valid
function of a "Christian college," a very diligent effort
should be initiated to establish the worth of the
Christian college.
"The diversity of opinion regarding the worth of the
Christian college makes it advisable to discuss the
purpose of California Lutheran College.
"The basic purpose of CLC is to prepare its students,
within the Christian context, to live meaningful adult
lives. As a college it provides the intellectual, spiritual,
moral and cultural environment in which a body of
competent Christian scholars may seek to identify and
nurture their talents and develop the character and
develop the character of their students. . .motivated
and empowered by a love of Christ, truth, and freedom.
"The College Community is a searching one. Even
more so at a Christian college, the search must be
allowed honestly to go where it may and discover what
it must 'I do not believe this myself and can only
wonder if the administrative writer does).
1969-70 Pioneer, pg. 5
President Olson is more explicit in defining the
purpose of this Christian college and what its stan-
dards are:
"This college has been deliberately established as a
a residential college in the conviction that this con-
tributes to a special quality of educational experience.
The necessity of having a number of students living off
campus because of lack of college housing at present
does not diminish the intention that we shall be a
residential college with the benefits ihis brings."
"The residential setting provides for informal and
casual meetings and conversations which stimulate
the people who live here. . ."
"To be a residential college means that we give
careful attention to the ways we live together. The
standards we live by are intended to reflect the best
understandings we have in shaping a common life on
campus. These standards are intended to reflect the
intentions of those who founded and have maintained
the college, within the meaning of Christian faith and
life. They are intended to take into account the
generous concern of the individual for other persons
and for the group. Such standards are not Arbitrary.
They are not intended to be frustrating. They exist as
positive signs of a thoughtful and consistent way of life
which fits the nature of this College."
Raymond M. Olson, President
Pioneer, pg. 4 1969-1970
T If this is truly the intent of the standards and the
purpose of this College, why is there the perpetual
existence of "erroneous impressions" especially in the
light of "standards" which "are not arbitrary" and
and "not intended to be frustrating."
8 per cent of the survey group felt that entry was
valid for specific reasons, which have been subdivided
as follows:
1) maintenance 12
2) emergencies 1
3) it is policy 2
In the area of maintenance the following sub-
divisions were established:
a) maintenance of the room proper (walls, doors,
windows, affixed features, toilets, etc) . . .5
b) preventative maintenance (fumigation, fire
prevention, etc) . . .5
c) future maintenance (what will be needed in the
future and also if students were changing rooms that
damages assessed before he entered so that no charge
was levied against him) . . .2
Of the 85 per cent answering this question in the
negative the following are some of the more explicit
responses :
"It is not the right of any college to enter the rooms,
as has been done, of any students paying for the
"privilege" to reside with his personal belongings in
the "safe-keeping" of his own room."
"His action (Dean) has made my decision final to
leave this school. It is unfortunate that this illegal
search will remain forever in my mind."
"No. We strongly object to the fact that no one was
present during a check of the premises and no search

Naked I Came Before the Institution
These are the decades which some have labelled the
"Crisis in American Liberal Education." The
description is apt, since most American educational
institutions have yet to recognize the quest of the
contemporary student for that 'great unknown,' the
existentialist demand for Truth (not Idealism) based
on an a priori recognition of Individual human
value. This individual is not to be considered as
member-of-something. but rather in-of-and-for-
himself, that Ursprung Individual who sits behind and
beyond consciousness and social aggravation, that
reckoner of our private and public passions. Freeman.
Seeker. The institution which does not live-within the
life of this student-as-person must accept the result — a
dehumanized image (reality) which will and must
force the student-as-person to see only the
dehumanized, hypocritical, unauthentic side of the
institutions. This is unfortunate. It may not be a real
picture of 'reality,' but it may be all we have. It will
take several years for this Seeker to come to love this
institution and he will, as a consequence, also learn to
pity its small importance. Unfortunately the latter
feeling will usually predominate.
II.
The Budget and the Image Politicians
When this pre-socratic seeker-after-truth endeavors
to get some answers in the concrete situation, what
does he encounter? After all, there must be a point
here, and eventually, hopefully, we will arrive at it. So
what of the plight of the Seeker who, to choose an ar-
bitrary topic, attempts to ascertain the status of the
BUDGET of California Lutheran College? A very
concrete example of situation-truth seeking activity.
First, this heroic Seeker confronts the "Existing
channels," only to find a curious combination of
Kafkaesque officials exercising mysterious powers
from inaccessable offices behind a mountain of im-
personal jargon and holding a Brahmin superiority
over the untouchables at the Bottom. In short, he gets
the Runaround. The Controller is powerless to divulge
statistics without the authority of the President. The
President says the Controller is on his own. The Con-
troller says the statistics are, in any case, available
only to the Convocators. The Seeker IS a Convocator
and asks the President to release the figures to him ; he
is told to see the Controller who states that the budget
report must be called back and "amended" before re-
release to the Seeker, and besides, says the Controller,
"I don't like your politics, anyway." Finis. A curious
Finis. The Buck is passed.
The Seeker is a reasoning creature, however, and
asks, "Who else has these facts?" And Lo! there are
those who not only do have the facts, but also seem a
touch disgruntled at what they show. (Quoth the
Controller, "I wouldn't want this to create
animosities.") And these are the ones called Faculty,
and they are with good reason uneasy about the
BUDGET. Although they do not HAVE the figures,
they have seen them at their "Retreat," where the
Academic Dean, the Head Honcho of Grades, has
passed the figures out to those among us who are
known as Department Heads, and who has just as
dutifully retrieved the figures after a short while so
that the Facts would not fall into the possession of the
Nasty Wronghands. Although disgruntled, -it is
Tenuretime and Faculty are very reluctant to aid the
Seeker at Tenuretime.
Some, though not necessarily the Seeker, will call
this silence cowardice. Some will call it fear. Some will
call it not-giving-a-damn. Some will sav there are
Other, secret ways of circumventing the Situation. The
buck is passed.
If the Seeker pauses here to reflect, he observes an
intriguing phenomena — The Politics of Image. This is
a completely rational system wherein sexual anxiety,
academic mediocrity, and fiscal delusion are
promulgated in the name of Riding-Out-the-Storm,.of
preserving a chaste, safe existence in the name of
coddling a figment of the mind called "Constituency."
The Seeker must be told that he, and all like him,
hold an embrionic vision of Truth, and that all will be
made clear just as soon as he has had enough time to
'adjust' to the realities which 'true faith' will make
evident to him. The Roman Hruska of Educative
morals steps up to centre-stage proclaiming
mediocrity for all as the salvation of the insiitution
which is in deep, troubled waters. But he forgets that
salvation will not be on the last day, but on the very last
(Kafka ), and what good shall it be to him then?
But the Politics of Image must have a difficult time,
at best, if its adherents cannot be brought to accept the
CODE OF MYTH :
Ye Shall Recognize —
1. In age there is wisdom, inherently.
2. Christian Education exists.
3. The institution requires Church monies.
4 Without the "correef'image, Church money shall
be lost. Avoid this at all cost.
5. Employee stewardship is an inherently "good"
financial policy.
6. There is a clear distinction between secular and
sacred.
7. Administrators never speak with forked-tongue in
cheek.
8. The Ultimate Power over the institution resides
with the Regents.
9. Things can only get better.
10. If I don't like it I am free to leave.
Thus the Code of Myth is handed down from
generation to generation.
It is rapidly becoming obvious to everybody that
there is a language gap between this Seeker and the
Establishment. The rest of this paper is devoted to the
clarifying of some aspects of their deeper relationship.
III.
Supressable Conjectures
I am a Seeker and will hence forward speak for
myself. This must be conjecture and opinion, for if an
institution desires an exposition on a factual basis, they
shall have to release the facts for all to see. If they
refuse, and condescend to communicate to me solely
by memo and chapel talk, under the sanction of God
Almighty, then I too, am entitled to an opinion. I make
the following conjectures therefore (not in any logical
order):
1. The Department Budgets at CLC are secret in
order that there arise no commotion among the faculty
at the dispersal of funds and so that the student not
know that, outside the normal departmental budgets,
athletics /drama /music receive an extra $100,000,
seventy per cent of which goes to athletics.
WHITEWASH.
2. The students at CLC, moreso than at most private
colleges, more than pay their own way. They have an
authentic basis to regard themselves as the financiers
of CLC since they contribute seven times (SEVEN
TIMES) as much to the operating budget of CLC than
do the combined Lutheran Churches in the United
States. This negates the necessity for perpetuating the
type of constituency we have; it also negates the need
for the type of Regents, Convocators and Ad-
ministrators (and perhaps Faculty) we have. The
student may, with this knowledge, become a bit more
self-assertive than he is at present. After all, he is

Analogies for Us Post-War
Let us divert our attention for a mi
mundane considerations and focus on
short analogy will merely enable to
Viewpoint/Chicano
Political Prisoners. This term is one which, in this
day and age, is readily grasped by almost everyone.
What we here in the United States have much difficulty
grasping is the concept and the reality of its im-
plications. Traditionally and historically the term
relates to and is associated with treason, prisoners of
war, or persons who become prisoners as a result of
overthrowing a particular political party.
For this reason, when one begins to talk and expand
the term and concept to encompass and be applicable
to the brothers and sisters in prison, often one gets
either an apathetic or incredulous reaction.
The position of the government of this country is very
clear on this matter: there are no political crimes or
prisoners.
Where the government leaves off, we begin: Third
World colonized people of this country that are in
prisons are political prisoners.
Prisoners and prisons become political since they
are tools of politicians and the ruling class. "Crimes"
committed by an oppressed people symbolize and
express the attempt to tear off the bonds of oppression.
People are not born "criminals"; no more than one is
born educated.
By seriously examining and exploring the political -
judicial penal system of this country the reality of its
vicious and criminal posture is revealed. From the
informer, to the pig, the warden, and governor, the so-
called "criminal" is a victim of a racist, materialistic
system that recognizes the rebellious spirit and im-
mediately sets its machinery in motion to dampen and
contain, sometimes kill, the person who will not sub-
mit.
To those who find and confront the system head on,
the branding and systematic degradation of being
"mentally ill," "criminal," or both, begins. Contrary
to popular belief, and the in Vogue psycho-analytical
theory, oppressed people do not commit offenses
against the state because mother didn't breast feed
them. They are committed because the Mother
Country does not feed nor meet the needs of the
working and exploited people.
The inability to relate to the needs of the people is an
integral and basic philosophy of the U.S. Capatalist
Government. Of necessity it must do this in order to
keep the self-perpetrating, exploitive, and divisive
class struggle in motion and working.
Looking at the judicial-penal system from the per-
spective of people responding to their needs (that
people committing offenses in respond, or caelum, to
certain basic needs) it is within our grasp to begin to
see that people in prison are in effect victims to the
cruelest manifestation of an oppressive-suppressive
system. We began by trying to deal with the concept of
political prisoners; those brothers and sisters who by
virtue of their acts have committed an act that by the
system's definition is a political "crime." The concept
of non-politicized political prisoners is one much more
elaborate and complex. By even accepting such an
idea, we enter the vast arena of so-called
"rehabilitative" programs that conceivably are set up
to help people gone astray; to go "straight." It is by
entering this arena and by exploring its basic tenents
and philosophy that we encounter the mentality in-
stilled by the ruling class to their puppet-governmental
figureheads. This mentality assumes without question
the position that the persons coming into a police
station are either 'sick" or •criminal," or both.
From the police (who are the occupying political
army of the ruling class), to the courts, to the prisons,
to the adult authority and its parole system, to the
whole machinery of its mental health correctional
department, it is a vast undertaking (by the systn
that has the audacity and the nerve to call itselt

stand aside from
the Seeker in order to examine his methodology. For he
is not a nihilist, but merely a self-made critic whose
najure it is to examine critically until he is satisfied
that he does indeed have the facts on which to make a
judgment. Take for example, the pull-out of troops
from Vietnam by President Richard M. Nixon,
sometimes called tricky Dick by those of lesser light.
Let us divert our allention for a moment from thesei
This appears to be a magnanimous political gesture
in contradiction to the Nixon of the 50's, and it is quite
convincing to the American public. But by pure chance
the Seeker learns that simultaneous with the so-called
pull-out, a decision is made in the Pentagon re-
instituting the old TDY (Temporary Duty)
classification, by which Our Boys Over There in
Germany, Korea, Okinawa, Taiwan, etc., are listed as
being in Germany, Okinawa, etc , while they are ac-
tually in Vietnam pulling a little (6 months) TDY.
Should you inquire of the U.S. Army, these "boys" are
anywhere but in Vietnam. It's legal and it's on paper.
So the Seeker deduces that that 420,000 troop statistic is
less than credible, especially when he knows four of
Our Boys, TDY in V.N.
This is the methodology of the Seeker then: keep
your ears open if the facts are suppressed. It applies at
CLC as well as anywhere.
V.
Big Brother is Alive and Well Practically Everywhere
We now arrive at the end of our journey — with
varied reactions, to be sure. Our 1984 is a reality, and a
corrective dose of Newspeak must soon follow in order
to erase the erroneous thoughts of the Seeker. It's not
that he enjoys being crude; far from it, the thought
even gives rise to terrific pain in heart and mind. In his
extant papers, however, was the following list of
reflections, and it will be only fair to include them for
they are a part of his account. They follow: "1. A
clear, competent examination of the budget and
personnel of CLC would aid in creating a Christian
college so long as one accepts, unequivically. the
freedom to seek the truth as prerequisite to the
Christian part of the CLC dogma. It is only fair to say
that if any of these personnel are considered by anyone
to be eunuchs of a special variety, then we are
reminded that the students, and the students alone,
harbor them here.
2. The fact that an employee of California Lutheran
College can discipline, threaten, or otherwise in-
timidate students for conduct completely outside of the
perview of civil law on so-called moral grounds is an
insult of the highest order to the humanity and in-
telligence of the student and is testimony to the
pedagoguery of such small officials. It is to be con-
sidered grounds for that employees dismissal.
3. That the rights of student-as-person can ar-
bitrarily be voided by any one or combination of in-
stitutional officials in direct contradiction to legal
canon of procedure (e.g., the Student Bill of Rights,
accepted even by the do-nothing Regents) is grounds
for the reprimand, discipline, and or dismissal of such
officials. Case in point being: what student being
disciplined at CLC has ever been able to question his
accusors? Present evidence? Have a public hearing?
Overrule the Dean when he makes up rules in his head
and accuses you of breaking them? IT IS THE
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY TO LOOK OUT FOR
THEIR OWN KIND AND DISOBEY ABSURD RULES.
NO ONE WILL DO IT FOR HIM. AND NO ONE WILL
PROTECT HIM EXCEPT HIS FELLOW STUDENTS
AND POSSIBLY THE U.S. COURTS (not likely).
4. The rights of the citizen are not the same as his
human rights; his human rights are paramount and
supercede any petty code improvised bv any "official"
for his benefit. It is for this reason that the content of
this article is not dangerous and anti-anything, but just
a weird offshoot of humanism.
5. As long as official role players play their roles, and
don't make the student reality a part of their reality,
students will continue to be deceived by these roles as
he undergoes the formative process. He will not per-
ceive such stagnant roles for what they are and may
attempt to emulate them. His utterances, his public
protestations of his condition will take on this stale
character (King day. Kennedy day. Moratorium day,
Earth day. all "Days"); this is not simply a
pessimistic view of man, but a pessimism within the
situation, the reality is that his actions, far from
bringing change, will, for all but a few, merely serve to
adjust his conscience in order not to suffer the real pain
of alienation —a pain which must precede meaningful
action. (If you believe part of this, OK, but if you
believe it all, you are a victim of rhetoric )
6. CLC's unused land should noLremain unused. Let
any and all who want to live there do so. Hold seminars
for a week or two and let people of original or not-so-
original thought attempt to teach and learn there what
they may. Let the disenfranchised set up tents and
work for the college in return for a stipend. Until the
time comes to buildUt never may) let the North
Campus attain its own reality. (Idea suggested by
Anonymous).
7. Professors who are training our students to
become teachers of the young and who advocate the
"extermination of hippies" (final solution?) are far
removed from reality, if not unfit to teach. Let these
men make their statements public, if they believe
them.
8. The Dean of Students shall no longer proscribe
social limitations on the lives of students. As a person
he is not objective enough to qualify as High Minister of
Love and Truth; it is doubtful that anyone humanly
could fulfill this function, so why not release him from
such absurd responsibilities in order that the position
attain the nature of I-Will-Aid-You-As-Student instead
of Dean-As-KGB-SS-Combo.
9. Until all this extraneous refuse is cleared by
honesty and constructive action, the true nature of
Christian education will not emerge. It may never
emerge. It is clear that God does not work through the
offices at 60 Olson Road; it is just as clear that the
divine is not to be introduced into chapel everytime
there is a crisis; it is clear that He is not a He at all;
and it is clear that the spiritual nature of man is not
manifest in the trivia which confronts, preoccupies,
and delimits the world for the psuedo-religious person
in this dehumanized concrete situation to which we
have given the name California Lutheran College.

Life Goes On Within You and Without You
Some of the preceding may be false ; if so, I apologize
to the offended party for the misinformation. A good
deal of the preceding opinion and nearly all or all of the
statistics are true, however; these are not presented
simply for the edification of the Seeker.
Finally, the Seeker is very unstable, for he does not
know whether anything in life means anything at all.
He wants to act, yes, he is as ready for action as the
next person. But where will he start?
In the whole Universe, where will he begin this
work?

It is from the above point of view that we find in

This, in a general sense typifies the non-politicized

Editor:
I am morally outraged that
Reagan would turn the death of a
UCSB student into a political
maneuver to gain more power.
Not only is it obviously political
opportunism, but also an attempt
to rationalize his "blood-bath"
statement of several weeks ago
by blaming the Moran death on a
student "blood-bath" that is four
to five years old. He offers this
rationalization at the expense of
the Moran family.
When a man is so defensive
that he cannot admit the ac-
cidental shooting of a student by
a policeman, I think it becomes
necessary to question his fitness
to serve in an elected office. It
seems we are conditioned to
judge Reagan by his political
acumen, rather than by human-
moralistic concerns. The time
has come when we must hold our
politicians accountable on moral
grounds.
Do not misunderstand me. I am
not opposed to honest discipline
or punishment. What I am op-
posed to is Reagan's refusal to be
human. The Moran death is only
another example of Reagan's
refusal to be human — totally
human. Reagan shows tears (a
human response) and then at-
tempts to get political mileage
out of human tragedy. Because of
the mixture of reaction (human
and political) I am forced to
conclude that the tears are not
real
Give the actor an Oscar

warrant had been issued. This is a direct violation of
college policy as stated clearly in the Pioneer. 1
strongly recommend that the administration review
the Pioneer and remember that if it changes its policy
(if it can legally) that ex post facto laws are still
illegal. Therefore any action taken from an illegal
search should be declared invalid."
"There is no reason why a "damage check" should
take place only during school vacations. I would
consent to this procedure when and if it occurred
during the time when school is in session and was only
a damage check of the room - not a mission to con-
fiscate contraband."
"In view of Christian ethics, I feel that entering
another person's room without their consent or
presence is a very invalid action. I feel that in any
situation a person has the right to protect his private
property and belongings. No one has the right to search
another without giving full acknowledgment as to what
is being sought and for what reasons."
"No! I'm planning on leaving this school because of
this and other such invasions of privacy."
CONCLUSIONS ON PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF
THE "NO TITLE" SURVEY
Reviewing the above tabulations we can see that:
1 ) a majority of those responding have had their
rooms entered without their permission or presence.
2) one fourth of those responding have had articles
seized from their room for various reasons by various
persons.
3) 85 per cent of those responding felt these entries
were not a valid action of this college.
"Students contract rooms for the quarter. . .each
student assumes legal and moral responsibilities to
conform to all student regulations." Pioneer, pg. 11. If
this is assumed to be true, it would seem that the
college does indeed have a legal right to enter rooms
during inter-sessional periods without permission and
or presence of individuals who reside within these
residences. However, this cannot be considered only a
legal question, but rather it must be regarded also as a
moral question based partly on the "Christian context"
upon which this College builds its foundations.
The "Christian context" or ethic is deeply rooted in
trust, freedom, inquiry (not inquiries evolved from
distrust, but rather intellectual inquiries evolving from
a curiosity about life), faith and love. This College
bases itself and its meaning on a motto of "Love of
Christ, Truth, and Freedom."
Where does this motto stand in the practices and
actions of this College? Where is a Love of Christ where
not truth or freedom exist? Truth and freedom cannot
exist when or where a policy statement such as "The
College reserves the right to hold unannounced room
- inspections at any time (Pioneer, pg. 9)." This very
clause negates the very existence of the "Christian
context" in the CLC environment. An environment
truly based on the "Christian context" requires no
administrative inspection. (It is not proposed that any
such environment has ever existed here or anywhere
else, but rather that clauses such as this policy
statement exclude even the idylic existence of it).
To hold an "unannounced room inspection at
anytime (over and above the normal cleanliness in-
spections which retain some validity in their nature)"
grants rights and privileges to the CLC administrative
organization clearly defined in the 4th amendment to
the Constitution (Bill of Rights) as belonging to the
individual.
It would seem, based on the "Christian context of
this college, that a more meaningful statement of
policy should be established, possibly along the lines
of : "The College, being based deeply in the foundations
of the Christian context and strongly confirming the
maturity and integrity of its residental student com-
munity, has established the following policy on campus
housing and its regulation.
1 ) Since housing is contracted for by the student, on a
time lease basis from the College
2) the college preserves (rather than reserves) its.
rights and responsibilities to enter and inspect the
aforementioned residences only on the basis of the
following criterion:
a) permission of the involved persons
b) presence of the involved persons and
c) full acknowledgment in regards to why, for what
purpose, and to what intent the inspection is being
conducted, by the involved persons, or
d) on the securing and presentation to the involved
individuals of a search warrant issued by the civil
authorities under whose supervision the inspection
would be carried out.
3) Failure to consent to an inspection, conducted by
representatives of the College administration, will
result in the securing of a search warrant and all
subsequent action will lay within the authority of the
civil code und the civil authorities.
4) The college accepts the responsibilities such in-
spections generate and within this acceptance
preserves only the right to inspect college owned
items, fixtures, and facilities.
5) Only on the securing of a search warrant will
personal property or closed drawers or closed closets
be inspected.
6) The college has chosen this policy out of its respect
for the rights, freedoms, and integrities of its
residential student community and though the College
preserves and possesses this policy it will only be
employed in circumstances where no other policy is
deemed as appropriate."
From proposed policies such as this or along these
lines many of the "erroneous impressions" could be
prevented, the fuller meaning of the Christian context
could be actualized and a fuller understanding derived
from the meaning of the "College community."
From this survey it may be concluded that many
"erroneous impressions" do in fact exist, not only in
the student body, but also in the administrating body.
The student body is:
1) uninformed as to why rooms are entered during
their absence.
2) uninformed as to the meaning of and in-
terpretation of College policy.
3 ) generally (85 per cent ) against the entry of college
officials into their rooms without their consent and or
presence and deems this action invalid and in many
cases illegal and immoral.
The administration appears to be:
1) uninformed of the needs, desires, and feelings of
the Student Body.
2) functioning within a framework of questionable
utility and also of questionable legality.
3) limited in its position of benign assistance to the
student body.
4) limited in its involvement with the student body on
an individual level.
From these conclusions it may be concluded that:
1 ) Since 85 per cent of the students surveyed feel that
entry into their rooms are invalid actions by College
officials and since the College policy on this subject is
neither explicit nor understood by both factions of the
campus,
a) more student-administrative communications
must be established, and
b) the present policy should be re-examined to make
it functional, explicit, legal, moral, and just.
2> since Head Residents are responsible to interact
with the residents of the housing facilities and since
this in many instances has failed to occur,
a) all reports filed by students should be acted upon,
not merely forgotten and that these reports be filed for
confidential reasons in a central file for subsequent
investigation of the report, and
b) that all instances of theft should be immediately
reported by the students involved to their Head
Resident and that he immediately reports the thief to
the proper authorities.
3) since theft has occurred:
a) all locks be reinforced or replaced by more sub-
stantial devices
b) all keys be more efficiently distributed, that R.A.
keys are limited and stored in more secure and ap-
propriate places and that all master keys are locked
when not in use, and
c ) all windows are reinforced or replaced by more
substantial devices and that all doors are repaired
immediately.
4) Since 80 per cent of the on campus students sur-
veyed stated that they believed their rooms have been
entered, since 60 per cent of those surveyed felt they
had definite proof of these entries and since 85 per cent
of those surveyed felt that this action was invalid, a
complete report should be issued each on campus
student stating:
a ) purpose of all past entries into rooms
b ) specifically and truthfully the purpose of all en-
tries into his room
c ) the date of all entries into his room, and
d) the results of all entries into his room, including:
repairs, fines levied, objects removed or replaced,
seized, etc.
5) Since so many "erroneous impressions" exist and
since a substantial rift has developed from these
misunderstandings between student factions and
administrative factions
a ) a moratorium on entry should be established until
the totality of the situation is understood by both
"opposing" factions, and
b) as a gesture of good faith all impending college
action against individuals should be dropped.
This survey was a preliminary student initiated
gesture of concern and of a desire to establish better
mutual relationships. Anyone desiring to review our
results may by: contacting in writing; including a

correcting "any erroneous impressions" a start has
been student initiated; the next step is theirs.

Executive Cabinet
Minutes
April 9,1970
ASB EXECUTIVE CABINET MINUTES
April 9, 1970
ASB Office
Those attending the meeting were: Dave Lewis,
Arlinda Launder, Dave Kronberg, Jerry Rea, Bill
Bowers, Jane Riley, Mary Hoefs, Anthony Fernandez,
Bill Carlson, and John Tollefson.
The meeting was called to order at approximately
5:30 p.m. (since the secretary was unable to attend she
does not really know for sure) by ASB President Dave
Lewis.
SPC — Chris Walker has not yet talked to Bill
Carlson so nothing has been done. The policy guide has
been completed and was in-effect at the last meeting.
Bill is considered a temporary appointment awaiting
Senate approval.
Dave requested that each commissioner compose a
job description with recommendations for next year.
Dave Kronberg is going to contact the librarian to
obtain a shelf for books pertinent to students.
Food Service — Mr. Rehder was gone for a while and
the food service fell apart. Lily (assistant manager)
can't control the help. The orange juice machines are
in and there will be a two drink limit. The next project
is a new coke machine. CLC students are hired at
regular (not CLC) wages. If anyone wants to use the
cafeteria or their property (i.e., Social for the coffee
house) they should contact Dave's committee.
The following people Will be invited to attend the next
meeting — All faculty and College^ committee
representatives, Echo editor, 2 Senate representatives,
NSA and ASG co-ordinators, CUB director, president
or representatives, classes and clubs.
The Environmental Committee under Dennis Tobin
is meeting and will report to this body.
Suggestions were requested for the chairman of the
Health Services Committee.
John said he would have a rough proposal for
financial autonomy by the next meeting.
Since this group is to implement Senate legislation
this body must decide where Constitutional Amend-
ments go after being passed by the student body. The
Administration says that they and the Regents must
OK all Constitutional Amendments. We've been
reporting them to the Administration but only for in-
formation.
Jane moved and it was seconded — "I move that the
position of the Executive Branch is that once a Con-
stitutional Amendment is passed by the student body
that it becomes operable." Passed Unanimously.
The Executive Cabinet should also discuss the idea of
making Mt. Clef an open dorm, the search of dorms
over Easter, and why Mr. Lawson is leaving and Mr.
Hooban is gone. Maybe the best thing would be to
expose the Administration.
BILL CARLSON MOVED — "I MOVE THAT THE
EXECUTIVE CABINET CONDEMN THE ACTIONS
OF THE ADMINISTRATION IN SEARCHING DORM
ROOMS WHILE THE RESIDENTS WERE NOT
PRESENT AS REQUIRED BY THE PIONEER
HANDBOOK, SECTION V, STUDENT CONDUCT. WE
FURTHER DEMAND AMNESTY FOR THOSE WHO
HAVE BEEN CONVICTED ON THE BASIS OF
EVIDENCE COLLECTED BY ILLEGAL SEARCH
MEASURES." THE MOTION WAS SECONDED AND
PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
Martin Luther King Day — Jerry Rea made the
following motion; "I move that the Executive Cabinet
support the movement to make January 15th a state-
wide holiday in memory of Dr. Martin Luther King
Jr." The motion was seconded and passed
unanimously.
The rationale of having class governments was
discussed. Since they sign up for dates and often don't
use them, Mary is going to write a policy guide giving
classes a certain time limit to back out and then
assessing a fine. Classes could do a lot toward unifying
the student body.
The meeting was adjourned at approximately 6:30
p.m.
Respectfully submitted,

Money, Money,
Who's Got
The Money
As a preface to the following statements, it must
be made clear that the only goal strived for by
those involved is the truth.
During the course of several discussions with Mr.
Trollan (controller) certain general facts concerning
CLC's budget and financial status were obtained:
Total Budget
Total Debt
Annual Interest On Debt
General Budget Breakdown
Salaries
Instructional (department budgets)
Food Service
Support of Residence Halls
Student Services
Student Aid (from the college)
Library
Public Services (CLIP, etc.)
Book Shop
Intercollegiate Athletics, Drama, Music
Total
A.S.B. and C.U.B.
Maintenance
Admissions
Business Office
President and Deans' Offices
Central Services
Governance Boards
Development Office
Misc. (Phone bills, electricity, etc.)
This breakdown is, of course, very general, but
unfortunately the powers that be have deemed it
unwise for the students and faculty to have access
to any further information. But even with this
limited knowledge of the facts, several important
areas may be, if not made clear, at least made
clearer.
First we would draw your attention to the figure
tor the total budget $3,338,000. Breaking this down
to the sources of obtaining this money, the students'
comprehensive fees make up at least two-thirds
of tills figure. Miscellaneous income items such
as summer programs, the Dallas Cowboys, etc.
yield approximately another 10 . Gifts and grants
being principally the support of the A.L.C. and the
L.C.A. (The constituency) yields another 10 and the
balance is made up for in loans. You are what keeps
this institution functioning. As a matter of fact
Mr. Trollan indicated that the church may have to
contribute less in the future due to its own financial
difficulties.
Point Two - the debt of $2,700,000 and yearly
interest of $144,000 - need we say more. Mr. Trollan
has indicated that we must be able to achieve a
fund balance. Why? Because we can't borrow any
more money even if we want to.
Point three, departmental budgets $150,000. We
would have you view this figure in conjunction with
the $100,000 given to athletics, drama, and music.
First a breakdown of the departmental budgets has
been denied to those requesting it. Second, 60
70 thousand dollars of the aforementioned $100,000
goes to athletics. Third, this $100,000 figure does
not include salaries or departmental budgets, i.e.
the physical education department. Fourth, these
three extra-curricular interest groups receive two-
thirds as much money as all of the instructional
departments combined.
In conclusion we must emphasize that the general
budget facts presented must be viewed as such and
not taken out of context. More facts are needed
but as yet they have been unattainable. Therefore
if t.ie students of this institution who support it
and have the biggest stake in it want to know "Who's
got the money" then it is their responsibility to
make this desire known.

An Interview:
(The following interview with Mr. Trollen, the CLC controller,
was conducted about a week after the 3rd quarter began by
Mr. Reg Henry, for U.S.A. The questions are asked by Reg;
the answers are by Mr. Trollen. --ed.)
All remarks which I make are to be prefaced by the
comment that this is a private corporation and as such
any specific financial information has to be authorized-
for release by the president for any further use. Cer-
tain data relevant to the operating budget of the college
has already been made public at the convocation and
was yesterday conveyed to Mr. Paul Blodgett in
response to certain inquiries that he had regarding the
general current fund of the college.
In response to the specific questions handed to me by
the representative of the BSU my preceding remarks
have to be considered. Accordingly, in response to the
first question, namely "What are the departmental
budgets at CLC?", this is an item on specific data
which falls into the category of requiring Presidential
authority for release. Furthermore, it is an area
managed by the academic Dean, Dean Edmund, the
vice-president for academic affairs, and would require
discussion with him before further publication.
In response to question 1A, "How much of this is in
college funding, and how much is income from
department functions or services? (By department),
the question cannot be answered specifically in any
case for many departments whithout benefit of the
specific departmental income. This comment has a
special reference to the normal academic departments
such as English, Physics, Chemistry, etcetera, in
which income is not allocated on the basis of number of
students and certain computer capacity not presently
available would be required in order to present the
specific analyses requested by this question. IN other
cases, such as inter-collegiate athletics and the like, it
is indeed possible to employ a planned program
budgeting approach, and we intend to employ this by
virtue of the mandate given at the most recent
Regent's meeting.
"Where does department income go?" Yes, we often
ask this question of ourselves. It seems to go out
altogether too rapidly. It does indeed go toward the
many activities of the college, both interms of in-
structional, departmental, general, administrative,
etcetera. Departmental income of all kinds is used to
meet the total operating expense of the college.
"What is the breakdown within each department of
funding?" "In other words, how much for facilities,
how much for supplies, travel and recruiting, et-
cetera?" This too is prepared as a part of a normal
budgeting process of the college but again falls into the
category of specific data which is not normally
released, at least without benefit of previous authority
of the President and the Academic Dean.
Two. "Are the financial aid figures kept separate
from the departmental budgets?" Yes, financial aid is
a separate budget category.
"How much financial aid is granted to each
department's students?" This question is not available
from accounting records maintained in the controller's
office and would have to be addressed to the director of
financial aid.
"Are there preferences, real or de facto, in financial
aid, broken down per department?" "In other words,
can a student get more financial aid bv choosing one
department over another?" Not to my knowledge, but
again this is a matter administered by the director of
the financial aid office, and is not a normal part of the
concept of college accounting as pursued at CLC. and
as specified under the texts for college and university
business administration.
"What is the student average need factor per
department?" To the best of my knowledge there is no
average student need factor per department. The
student need factor is a matter of the individual need
without regard to the department.
"If students are getting more than their need factor
in any department, why is this so?" I would like to
know the answer to that question if, indeed, such a
situation does exist. And I think agiain that, without
resorting to the financial aid officer, I cannot add
further information to any of these questions. Again I
emphasize the need for proper authorization of such
inquiry would be a necessary prerequisite to any
further response by the financial aid officer.
Three. "On the overall picture, what is the fiscal
picture for this year? Including outstanding loans and
interest on outstanding loans?" The fiscal picture for
this year, which will end May 81, 1970, is similar to that
of almost any business in the United States today and
that is a relatively tight-cash position, and a con-
frontation with a tight-money market. Making the
obtaining of financing very difficult, and if such
financing is obtained, very expensive. The operating
budget of CLC this year is about 3 million 3 hundred
thousand dollars, and was predicated on a 'break-even'
basis. We do feel that we are on the threshhold of
breaking even, and indeed have a sincere hope that
prudent stewardship will do so. Last year the college
encountered a deficit of approximately 350 thousand
dollars which had to be funded through borrowing. This
in turn, together with the previously existant
obligations, principly long-term mortgages on dor-
mitories, elcetera, etcetera, has imposed a very severe
interest burden on the college. And as a matter of fact,
this year's budget has an interest expense of ap-
proximately 144,000 dollars. This is a very, very severe
interest burden to bear. We are hopeful that we will
break even so as to display to church constituencies a
greater measure of fiscal stability. And this will be
important in terms of obtaining any future long range
financing for any future expansion of college facilities,
inasmuch as it is apparent and obvious to anyone
associated with CLC that the most crying need is
space.
"What is the breakdown of sources of CLC's in-
come?" Approximately 2-3 of the total revenues
needed to operate CLC have in the past been obtained
from the student comprehensive fee. Miscellaneous
income items such as the summer programs, the
Dallas Cowboys, and the like yield about another ten
per cent. Gifts and grants, being principally the sup-
port of the ALC and the LCA yields another ten per cent
and, unfortunately, the balance of the operating needs
of the college have, until this date, been sustained by
borrowing. And this borrowing has imposed the severe
interest expense on the college that it now bears.
Incidentally, in making the same statement that I
made yesterday to Mr. Paul Blodgett, the college does
not have a debt of ten million dollars as was published
in the ECHO. The source of that information was
questionable and certainly most inaccurate. The
college does have a debt of approximately two million
seven-hundred thousand dollars, a goodly part of which
is long-term, traditional real estate mortgage-type
loans, but approximately one million dollars is in the
form of a more short-term loan, being the accumulated
deficit of previous years of unbalanced budget
operation.
"Will the new hard-line approach on student
payments solve any of the school's financial
problems?" Yes. There is no doubt in my mind but
what it will. It is a matter of relatively poor judgment
on the part of any good business officer to extend open
account terms at no interest to students while the
college is itself in a borrowing position with interesi
rates from seven to nine per cent. The college has
reached a position in which it can no longer afford
lenient policies heretofore exercised. The college at the
present time has an open accounts receivable from
students in the amount of sixty thousand dollars. We
cannot afford to carry this line of credit to students any
longer. We have to ask students to pay their accounts
on a timely basis. In the long run it is our sincere hope
that this will be a benefit to the students even though it
is extremely difficult for them to see this. This benefit
will accrue if indeed the college, by this device, is
saved from further borrowing, and in concurrence with
this saving of further borrowing, saving of further
interest. When interest is saved this means that the
total operating expense of the college can be held at a
minimum and the saving can be passed along to
students, in the form of keeping comprehensive fees at
the lowest possible level.
"Will there be any effect on CLC's enrollment?" In
my opinion the impact should be relatively negligible;
we will probably lose some students who are unable to
pay. But it's my contention that the loss of a student
who is not paying is, at least in the business per-
spective, something that is a necessary result of such
policy. We do not feel, based on inquiries to date, that
the reduction in student enrollment will be significent
merely on the basis of exercising policies which are
already stated in the catalog. And we have indeed, in
the business office, attempted to make this transitional
process as lenient as was possible. Many students are
aware that we have been discussing this position with
them throughout the course of the entire year. We have
not made this announcement with enforcement due in
two weeks, three weeks, three months, six months,
eight months, but rather we have made this an-
nouncement with enforcement due in one year.
Therefore, in September of 1970 this policy will be first
exercised. I doubt very much that any student who has
been turned away during the course* of this academic
year because of his inability to pay at the time oJ
registration. He has, however, been cautioned as to the
impending enforcement of catalog policies, and has
been counseled in whatever way possible as to means
of settling his account, and has had the benefit of
suggestions as to various types of financial aid
possible. This has consumed a great deal of time of the
part of the controller and assistant controller but we
consider it as necessary in terms of our ethical and
moral responsibilities to the student body.
"Will CLC be forced to liquidate any of its holdings
in order to pay off any of its debts?" We hope not. We
hope that through prudent management and the en-
forcement of the normal measures of managerial
control and cost control as well as invoking a greater

degree of stewardship consciousness on the part of all
persons employed by the college and associated with
the college that we will be able to avoid that kind of
final resort. It may be possible that even our best ef-
forts will not enable us to avoid the disposal of holdings
in order to settle debts. This is ineviatably a possibility
which confronts any business organization during
periods of financial distress.
"What would be an honest appraisal of the LCA's
support of CLC? Will we get continued support? For
how long? How much of CLC is owned by the LCA?"
The answer to the first part of that question I must say
that the LCA's support 'of CLC has been the best
possible that they can provide. All churches in the
United States, not only the LCA, but the ALC, and as a
matter of fact I happen to know very intimately the
Missouri Synod, have experienced severe reductions in
the contributions from their constituencies. In point of
fact, the LCA has been providing at least from national
offices very close to one-hundred thousand dollars of
support to CLC. This, despite the fact that the LCA and
specifically the Southwest Synod has experienced a
decrease in their anticipated benevolences from
congregations from anywhere between 25 to 30 per
cent. Nonetheless, they have promised that they will
continue support in approximately this amount for
next year, and are pledged to the continued sustaining
support of CLC to whatever extent their own limited
capacity permits. I cannot really say that any per-
centage of CLC is owned by the LCA or, for that
matter, the ALC. It is merely jointly owned by the
church bodies, and we make no attempt to allocate on
any kind of percentage basis who has the greater or
lesser investment in CLC.
What changes are anticipated in next year's
budget?" We anticipate producing a fund balance
instead of a deficit. And we are committed to a hard
line in order to achieve that. By department, the same
general commentary exists by department and I
cannot, again, give specific dollar amount figures at
this time without the authority of the President. But in
general, we are at this time constructing a budget for
next year which will not only be balanced, but will
provide sufficient surplus to meet debt service and
provide a very modest contingency for the unforseen
needs that confront the college from time to time, such
as repainting a bus. The necessary debt service,
mentioned previously, has been integrated with the
budget so as to be covered from revenue sources.
"What sources are anticipated to be added for next
year's funding?" The sources of funding will be
basically the same. We merely hope to achieve a better
record of income forecast attainment and hope that the
vigorous efforts of the development office will produce
greater participation from the constituency as well as
the business community of Thousand Oaks and Ven-
tura County, the Parents Association and other ac-
tivities which have been commenced principally for
fund-raising purposes.
"Regarding CLC's so-called North Campus
holdings: what is currently planned for its use?" It is
still our sincere hope, as is well known by many
members of the student body, to utilize some 140 acres
which is indeed called the North Campus, for the future
home and permanent place of CLC. We are striving
very vigorously in a difficult money market to obtain
the necessary long-term financing in order to achieve
this dream. It is not an easy task, it is one which
requires hitting the bricks vigorously and knocking on
a lot of doors. But President Olson and I have indeed
been working on this program and we'll continue to
work on this program because we see a long-range plan
lor CLC as a place of Lutheran higher education for
young people from all over the United States and
hopefully from all over the world.
"Does CLC need cash backing or loans to start
building a new campus?" You're damn right! Yes. We
most assuredly do.
•'Where will this come from".'" Firstly, we hope that
we might find a well-heeled contributor, a person who
is willing to contribute a science centre or a library
building. We are hopeful that we will find constituency
which are more willing to make the more modest
personal gifts which collectively will give us the money
needed for site development. We are hoping that
various governmental sources, such as HUD and
others '-an provide the funds and government financing
necessary lor new housing development. These are
only some of the sources. There are various other
commercial enterprises available, and we will be
pursuing those as well.
'How much'.'" It is expected that the basis cost of the
North Campus would probably come somewhere verj
close to ten million dollars, in today's construction
market. Any delay in construction will cause the cost to
i ise just as all costs in the United States have been
rising on an annual basis.
••Does i i esen e account sel aside foi this particular
use exist?' -\o. As mentioned previously, the college
has been operating on a deiieit. to date, which has been
covered by borrowing, imposing very severe and
Stringent linancial restrictions on the college. We are
hopeful that we can reverse this trend and produce
from revenue sources addtional funds which can be
reinvested in the physical plant necessarj to ac-
complish the very much needed expansion.
"What is the present status ol the physical plant' ol
CLC and hOW much upkeep will be necessary this
.cir?" Probably somewhere in the vicinity ol about
;;,!) duo dollars will be required toi maintenance; tin
quite remarkably, has risen only a few percentage
points per year despite the tact that the cost ol living in
the United States and in Southern California and
Thousand Oaks in particular has been rising at a rate
of somewhere between 5 to 7 per cent annually.
"How much more will be required next year?"
Looking merely at maintenance costs, I would expect
perhaps something of the order of twenty or thirty
thousand dollars in additional maintenance costs. This
is principally an increase of about 6 per cent for per-
sonnel. In terms of physical plan additions, it will be
necessary to spend somewhere in the vicinity of twenty
or thirty thousand dollars capital additions; We are
looking at the possibilities and the hope that we can
fund and improved heating and cooling unit for the
library, evaporative coolers for the library annex, a
new heating unit for Beta hall, and, at the constant
reminding of Dean Heckerson, thick carpets.
"How long can these buildings last and how crowded
are conditions at the present?" The present buildings
are very fine. They need some superficial maintenance
but there is nothing structurally incorrect with any of
these buildings, and no doubt they would last for forty
years, if the situation demands it. I don't believe
they're too crowded. To the best of my knowledge we
have somewhere between seventy and one-hundred
empty beds in the dormitories at the present time.

A talented generation of young black poets
and the reading needs of ghetto teen-agers
are the stimuli for two important new series
of books coming this spring from the Rich,
ard VV. Baron Publishing Co.
Black Poets, for which Julius Lester is
general editor, will get off to a distinguish,
ed start with SOME CHANGES by June
Jordan, to be published June 24. Miss Jor.
dan is the author of the acclaimed V\HO
LOOK AT ME.
Future volumes in the series will include
Larry Neal's Midnight Special and Ain't No
Ambulances for No Nigguhs Tonight by
Stanley Crouch.
The second new series is called Black
Autobiographies. It comprises adaptations
for modern readers, especially ghetto high,
school students, of exciting firsthand ac-
counts of the lives of black men and women
forgotten by the history books. The series
meets a need now recognized by schools
and libraries for interesting and relevant
materials in language that is accessible.
Because of the lack of books like this, tea-
chers have too often had to fall back on the
expedient of using tabloids such as The
Daily News for primers.
The first titles are IN CHAINS TO LOU-
ISIANA: Solomon North up* s Story adapted by
Michael Knight and THE SLAVE WHO
BOUGHT HIS FREEDOM: Equiano's Story
adapted by Karen Kennerly. Both will be
published May 21. Northup was born a free
man in upper New York state in 1818 and
in 1841 was kidnapped into twelve years
of slavery in Louisiana, of which he gives a
harrowing account. Equiano, also called
Gustavus Vassa, was an eigliteentli-century
Ibo, who provides the earliest full descrip-
tion of a slave-ship crossing. He served in
the French and Indian War and traded and
traveled in the West Indies and the Amer-
ican colonies.
Anion? future Black Autobiographies will
be the stories of Jim Beckwourth, the
black frontiersman; Henry Ossian Flipper,
the first black graduate of West Point;
and William Wells Brown, who was born a
slave and became an abolitionist, novelist,
and historian.

On the Occasion of an Apollo Explosion in Anticipation of Earth Day
The sound and the confirming word tumbles back to earth
across the distances of space. It is heard in Houston. People
flow toward the Manned Space Center in anxious procession. Men
and women run for their places at consoles they hope will hold
answers. ABC, CBS, and NBC pulse the word across the land:
Men are still vulnerable.
Specific prayers arise for men in a particular vulner-
ability, phrased petitions that they be enabled to use their
limited remaining resources for a safe return. Concern comes
readily for the waiting families, now experiencing a sharpened
sense of anxiety.
Lord, it is an ironic parable of our collective vulner-
ability. There seems to be enough oxygen, but there is
uncertainty about the water supply, it is so with our space
ship earth as well. We are all vulnerable fellow travelers
in solar orbit. We are all vulnerable to the serious question
about our supplies of oxygen and water to bring us to a
hopeful destination.
May this lead us to the costly prayers over our prior-
ities on space ship earth, to a sensitive spirit toward
those more vulnerable than we.

Proposed Constitution
For ASB
Government
This proposed new constitution and restructuring of
ASB government steins from a rising conviction that
student government as it exists now neither involves
the average student nor unites the students as a
legitimate force within the government of this college.
This effort is to put the power openly in the hands of the
students. It is an attempt to be honest with ourselves
and the administration.
Extinct functions and organs have been discarded.
1 ) Class governments are inept and not really
needed. Any functions such as initiation, proms, etc.
can be as easily handled through committees within
the General Council or by the CUB.
2) The functions of the ASB Social and Athletic
Commissions can be as easily handled through the
CUB and Athletic Departments resrjectivelv.
3) The Student Senate has lor too long been the
whipping boy of discontented students and in some
cases "elitist" as well. Putting all legislation before
the General Council (i.e. the students) places both the
privilege and responsibility of government in the hands
of each individual student.
4) All correspondence and memorandums in
reference to the ASB shall be published in the
newspaper and read openly at General Council
meetings, eliminating the "credibility gap" which
many students believe is inherent in a representative
system of government. (No meeting shall be closed).
Questions about und suggestions for improving this
constitution are welcomed in any form. Contact Walt
Chavoor, Nancy Dykstra, Val Fulks, or Dave Randle.
The Senate will discuss the constitution April 22 at 9:00
p.m. in F-l. We urge your interest, opinions,
suggestions, and finally your support in this endeavor.
Program
PREAMBLE
In order to reaffirm and strengthen interaction and
unity between and among students, to directly par-
ticipate in our own government, to declare our basic
freedoms as guaranteed in the Constitution of the
United States of America, we the students of California
Lutheran College do establish this constitution.
Article I - Name and Membership
Section 1
The name of this organization shall be the Associated
Student Body of California Lutheran College.
Section 2 "
Membership in the Associated Student Body shall be
held by all students registered with the college.
Article II - Government and Structure
Section 1
All legislative and executive powers shall be held in a
general council of the students. The General Council
shall consist of all students present at the weekly
student body meeting.
Section 2 - Elected Offices:
CHAIRMANSHIPS : The Chairmanship shall:
a. consist of three persons elected by the ASB at
large, only one of which shall preside as chairman per
quarter, with the other two serving as advisors and
carrying out such duties designated by the chairman.
b. preside at all meetings.
c. be chairman of election board which will conduct
all ASB. AMS, and AWS elections.

Program II of the Kinetic Art film series presented
by the Art Department was received by over 500 people
Monday night in the gym. While no American producer
was represented in the program, Hungary and
Czechoslovakia came off strongly.
Et Cetera by Jan Svankmajer of Prague exercised a
new technique of film animation by presenting three
parables upon the self-imposed patterns of some
doomed players. The first episode was merely a dii -
lerent use of collage, the second a film made by suc-
cessive color wash drawings, the third an extremely
complicated method of masking and double exposure.
Tins film was winner of the von Sternberg Prize and
the Golden Ducat, Mannheim Festival.
In Istvan Hentilla's Miracle a simple gushing water
main produces a miracle for the people trapped by the
life of a city. This young cameraman works out his
visual themes in statements of values. . .affirming
human sensibilities. Also from the Belasz Studio in
Budapest. Jan Huszarik poured years of concentration
into the intensely hallucinatory Elegia. The jux-
taposition of freedom and restriction of horses, natural
hie being strangulated by man and his efforts to
change rather than honor his environment becomes a
poetic tragedy, something much deeper than mere
symbolism. As Pierre Billard writes in Cinema *67,
Through these lyric and violent images, a reflection
upon the destiny of man is proposed."
As with program I Yoji Kuri, making his second
, appearance, was tremendously funny and succeeded in
i jarring our psychic complacency
For the remainder of the evening a more
documentary type of filmmaking provided a somewhat
strained and repetitious experience, however a
marvelous profeciency in filmmaking was displayed.
The Kinetic Art film series is presenting a new and
intensely stimulating source for intellectual and
emotional awareness of ourselves and our en-
vironment . We feel that the people from the college and
local communities who have attended the two per-
tormances have discovered a deeper awareness of
their human qualities. The images come rapidly, the
mental connections are often your responsibility
(which is good ), but the experiences that hit home will
be with you for a long time to come.
On Tuesday evening. April 21, the Art Department
will present the third and last program in the series,
.rated "X" for excellence.
John Solem, Jerry Slattum
Kinetic art may be one step toward a reconciliation
between technologists and humanists, perhaps even
scientists and humanists. For those of us weided to
traditional forms within histories of the arts, CLC's
film series pushes us to a new respect for various
technological supports for creative minds. And it
pushes us, me at least, to a new respect for students'
sensitivities to an active and demanding art form. I am
impressed with the intuitive grasp and appreciation
Uuil audiences have shown for the films.
Too often, traditional films have been confining,
second-rate rumblings with literary forms transposed
to the screen. With the manifold achievements of
contemporary films and especially the short films, a
viable new form of art appears ready to experiment
with major themes. These film makers attack the trite
laments of men seeking a slow pace, for they speed up
even the contemplative states. They take the barrages
and transform them to art. Ironically, though,
Huszarik's "Elegia" rebels not only against the
movements of history but also against its own form.
The films formal and thematic tension did not appear
to me to be resolved.
For me. the first showing surpassed the second,
perhaps because I have been more impressed with the
formal experiments than with the thematic concerns of
the films. The second set seemed less abstract, less
radically experimental, and more confined to popular
topics oi the day. In a sense, I think the second set of
films was more content to document 'visual
catastrophes than to develop imaginative works. This,
too, has its place because man too often has found ways
to deny or ignore the catastrophes of his day. Perhaps
these artists feel compelled to develop their artistic
experiments within social and ethical relevancies.
Perhaps they insist that technical developments
cannot be placed outside or beyond our slower testings
and searches of values.
That the comic, the tragic, and the absurd all find
places in these showings evidences the range of
emotional interests of those who compiled the an-
thologies. And it suggests the scope of the art form. The
Kinetic Art. in its first two showings at CLC, delivers
what it promises, i.e., a full-scale survey of recent
achievements in creative films. Thanks to the Art
Department, especially Mr. Solem, and to the students
who helped bring these productions to the campus.

student produced and directed plays. You will see Judy
LyBarger as Gloria and Pete Haugen as Ben in "The

The final one act of the evening is "Impromptu" by
Tad Mosel, directed by Cathy Colleen Powers. This
play is a story abour steeotyped actors and actresses

Winifred who never got to play a syprupy ingenue.
George Schlukbier is the mature, self-reliable Earnest.
Betty Hill as the ingenue, Lora. And Dennis Lloyd is
the young, method actor. Tony.
The members involved in this production of "A Night

perience: you won't be disappointed when you buy
your ticket at the door these last two nights of per-
formance ! !

HE FLAT EARTH SOCIETY is bigger than you think. Almost every-
one belongs, because, as Euclid noted, a plane is infinite. Consider
the advantages:
• Infinite air supply, capable of absorbing any amount of nitrogen and
sulphur oxides, hydrocarbon residues, etc., with no ill effects.
• Rivers without end, sufficient to carry any amount of sewage and
industrial waste to an infinite ocean, too large ever to be polluted.
• Unlimited forests and grasslands capable of enduring unlimited ex-
ploitation.
• An infinite frontier, always someplace new to go and leave behind
noise, garbage, chemical and radioactive poisons, famine, war; an
earth which can support an unlimited population.
The Flat Earth Society has much to offer, if you just accept its social illusions
and reject the "optical illusion" above. It has strong institutional support: steel
companies (strip mining, air pollution), oil companies (offshore drilling, air
and water pollution), aircraft companies (the SST, noise and air pollution),
some organized religions (anti-birth control), automobile, lumber, real estate
interests, etc., etc.
Conservationists are the spoil-sports. They see limits everywhere. They are:
paranoid (distrust technological tampering with the environment), socialistic
(reject the right of private owners to plunder the earth), hippy (take to woods
to escape "progress") and fanatic (wage militant fights against the destruction
of the earth's ecology ) .
IN A ROUND EARTH SOCIETY
SUPPORT THE TEACH-IN
Throughout this spring, and especially on April 22, Round Earthers on hundreds of campuses will join in a
NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL TEACH-IN to explore nature's law of limits. This can be a historic break-
through in understanding all that is needed to have a whole and healthy earth.
The Sierra Club, a young, 77-year old Round Earth Society, hopes you will participate - that everyone on
your campus will seize this opportunity to learn ways to protect the environment.
To help you, the Sierra Club has prepared an environmental activist's handbook - ECOTACTICS. It will
arm you to take the initiative to combat Flat Earth thinking: to find cut how to keep your life-support system
intact. ECOTACTICS will soon be available at your local bookstore.
ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION IS SOMETHING YOU DO.
You can: Read ECOTACTICS. Help your campus conservation group (if there is one; if not, form one.)
Make April 22 die launch dale for an ecologically sound future. Contact environmental scientists and other
concerned members of your faculty to develop informed and effective ecotactics. Find out what is planned for
April 22 on neighboring campuses and offer to help them. Enlist their help.
Many Round Earth Societies
have long been carrying on the
fight against degradation of the
environment. Alone they can-
not shatter the illusions of Flat
Earthlings. They need the ener-
gies of the New Generation
which, with luck, will inherit
the spaceship earth. So join and
support one of the Round Earth
groups. Or two of them. Or
more.

for the second annual Chicano Youth Conference.
T he conference was sponsored for the second year
in a row by the Crusade for Justice, a Chicano organi-
zation in Denver whose most famous leader is Rodolfo
"Corky" Gonzalez. Young people gathered in Denver
from as far away as the streets of New York's Spanish
Harlem to the schools of East Los Angeles.
The gathering lasted from March 25th to the 29th,
and over 3,000 young Raza attended. They were re-
gistered , housed and fed daily by the Crusade for
Justice members who, as they did last year, opened
their hearts and homes in the true spirit of carnalismo.
The young people at the junta attended workshops on
subjects such as politics, economics, education, draft
resistance, the United Farm Workers huelga and grape
boycott, and theater arts (drama and dance) and writ-
ing and communication.
There were also workshops on working with the
chicano Press Association, dealing with the Anglo
controlled press and news media, and the Chican in
the Movement.
To those Chicanos that have been in the Movement
for the last few years, a matter of special interest and
encouragement was the attendance of many "young
warriors"— young Chicanos and Chicanas, many from
the heavily- represented high schools of East Los
Angeles, including Roosevelt, and the high schools of
Denver.
San Fernando was represented by students from
mecha of Valley State College, Valley Junior Col-
lege and San Fernando High School, a few of who flew
to Denver, but most of whom drove through the snow-
covered countryside of Aztlan.
Las Chicanitas had voices heard at the Chicana
Liberation Movement's workshop which aslo proved
to be one of the most popular in discussion and in
numbers attending. To be sure, los Batos discovered
las Chicanitas discussing liberation but not the same
vein as las gabachas women's liberation. Los machos
soon found out there wasn't anything to get uptight a-
u«...» 1+ ...„„ (>•«» nmartomfnorrino vniir hpad meet- '
bout. It was just a matter of "getting your head toget-
her".
Street gangs from Chicago agreed to stop fighting
each other and work as the vanguard in the Puerto
Rican and Chicano communities. This agreement
was not easy and they realized there will be outside
forces when they go back to their "home turf" to
breakup this brotherhood and have brothers killing
brothers once more. As acts of sincerity some of
La Migra contra La Raza
the gangs returned in mixed groups to show the people
back home there is a new era from La Raza in Chicago.
An independent Chicano party was a topic of dis-
cussion that many Chicanos had driven hundreds
of miles to get into. A few radical gabachos and
Chicanos on their own trip soon found out that's
what the Chicano party was all about -"independent",
the only "ismo" about the Chicano movement and
party will be C arnalismo and Chicanismol (nor ride
on anyone elses "coat-tail").
Most of the Chicanos attending the Conference were
neither tapados nor vendidos so there was hardly any
need to tell them that neither of the present political
parties - Democrat nor Republican - are filling the
political parties -of Chicanos. Under the present poli-
tical stand-off very few chicanos across this nation get
elected for office. For example, in Los Angeles where
there are over 1 1/2 million Chicanos, how many
"Mexican- American" city councilment are there?
N ONE ! I In the State Senate and Legi slature represent-
ing over 3 million Chicanos and another 1/2 million
Latinos? ONE!
Therefore, the political worksho introduced the
following resolutions: (1) Begin a nation of Aztlan; (2)
Establish an independent La Raza Unida politica party
with El Plan de Aztlan as the initial platform, with the
understanding that the Congress will expand and put
forth a more detailed platform. This party will not
be concernmed merely with elections but will work
everyday with and for the welfare and needs of our
people as directed by the Congres; (3) The Congress
of the nation of Aztlan will be the governing body of
the party and will handle all political questions con
cerning the nation de Aztlan; (4) The Congress and
party should first and foremost maintain their act-
ivities with the USA, and set an example for the rest
of the world.
Denver, like Los Angeles, has its lunatic right-
wing fringe-the White Citizens Council sending threat-
ening letters, and police department harrassing and
ticket ing Chicano cars, M itchell's racist justice
department and other governmental agencies playing
cloak and dagger and, perhaps, all of them in one
giant cynical conspiracy of violency that in turn
produced a security force of young Chicanos that re-
stricted movement inside the building and searched
everyone that wanted to be admitted. And, it payed
dividends, though few people at the Conference knew
at the time. On two separate ocassions time-bombs
were discovered and dismantled by Chicanos. It
was to the credit of the young Chicano activist that
amidst this tension there were but a few minoi
incidents.
' La Migra" is the main preoccupation of Chicanos who are in
this country "illegally". Statistical reports can well show us how
many Chicanos are deported from a section of land that was stolen
from his fore fathers. Statistics are cold, however, and fail to
make explicit what the immigration authorities represent to Chi-
canos. Individual case studies are the best references, next to
personal experience.
Mauro Lomeli crossed the border through San Diego using tne
green card which is good for a 72-hour stay. He came from
Sinaloa with the intention of staying here for as long as possible,
in which time he would save a sufficient amount of money to lessen
the burden of poverty which exists in his home.
At his house live his mother, father, four sisters and five brothers.
At 21, he is the oldest of his brothers and sisters. His father,
working as a baker for up to 12 hours in a single day, barely makes
enough to feed his family.
After crossing the border he moved north and found a weeks
work picking oranges and lemons. Next he found work picking
strawberries and lettuce. He was asked for his papers by the boss
(the green card only permits passage as far north as Los Angeles
and Mauro at this time was in the Oxnard- Ventura area). Since
he was unable to produce any papers the boss told him not to worry,
just to work hard and that he would be paid in a month when the
boss would receive his crop money. A month of hard work went
by, but payment was delayed another two weeks.
Two days before payday the immigration authorities came by
and picked up Mauro Lomeli and deported him to Tijuana. Mauro
had worked honestly for six weeks, but as has been done many
times before, he was deported without pay. The experience of
Mauro Lomeli with the "migra" is not uncommon.
There are of course other stories. If there is a quick knockout
during the Olympic Auditorium televised fights, two "quickies" will'
be brought onto the arena and box for three or four rounds. One
Mexican boxer once refused to act as a substitute since he was not
in physical condition. The meager sum which they are paid cer-
tainly leaves something to be desired. His visa had expired a few
days before. His manager threatened to inform the immigration
authorities if he did not fight that night.
Forced to fight, he received the usual bloody nose, blood lip
and cut above the eyebrow. The doctor bills cost about the same
as the pay that he received.
Like Mauro Lomeli, this is not the uncommon but rather, a
regular ' practice. The textile industry and car washes are also
great exploiters of Chicano labor, using "la migra" as a leverage.
In the San Fernando Valley, particularly, around Chatsworth and
Northridge are small auxiliaries, hiring 25 - 50 employees. Some
manufacturing small automobile parts, that hire Chicanos at very
close, or below, the minimum wage. And , if they complain or
begin to organize, for higher wages, they are quickly deported.
Throughout Los Angeles and the Southwest, Mexicans are hired
in resturants. as kitchen help and then have to live, sometimes
ten Individuals live in a small shack, within walking distence
of the restaurant, in order to survive with this small check .
A certain restaurant in Los Angeles pays its waitresses $1.50
minus Social Security which it never reports and only pockets
the money. Of course nothing can be done by the employee since
the threat of "la migra" is a constant weapon of the employer.

HIGH
ROOSEVELT
March 5, 1970 was set aside by Roosevelt High
School students from UMAS (United Mexican Ameri-
can Students) in order to review the demands of the
1968 student walkouts.
An informal meeting was held in the in the "free
speech" area which is located on the football field.
Students as well as faculty were encouraged to at-
tend the meeting. The meeting was an opportunity
for UMAS to remind the Chicanos that the demands
of the 1968 walkouts had not been satisfactorily met.
Mr. Siegal, acting principal and Mr. Holguin, vice-
principal were present when the meetin commenced.
Mr. Al Perez, the principal although informed of the
meeting, hadn't made one effort to attend the meet-
ing. This lack of interest and failure to attend the
meeting upon request confirmed his lack of interest
and renewed his position as non- sympathetic to the
Chicano Movement. Being of Mexican descent ob-
viously made no difference when refusing to assist
his Chicano carnales.
Jorge Rodriguez, president of UMAS, presented the
grievances. They were all issues on the demands of
the 1968 walkouts, such demands as inferior education;
inadequate eating facilities (one cafeteria for a student-
body of over 4,000 students with a holding capacity of
800 students); limited access to the restroom (the only
restroom available on campus are in the boys and girls
gym); one lunch break (lunch is approximately 35 min-
utes, the student is expected to buy lunch and take ad-
vantage of the restroom facilities); hall sweeps (these
are operated when teachers search through halls and
anyone without a hall pass is then recommended to the
vice- principals office); and last of all they are impri-
soned by never opened fences.
These and others were and still are issues that
should have been met by the agreement of the Board
of Education enacted in 1968.
On March 5, students and faculty met in the "free
speech" area where Jorge Rodriguez was addressing
Seigal, Holguin and others present, stating that students
have stood by and taken enough shit and that they were
sick and tired of the "dam" administration.
These being strong and legitimate issues UMAS saw
it necessary to inform other Chicanos as well. Being
that Jorge had used the word "damn" when referring
to the Roosevelt Administration, the sound was im-
mediately cut off. Then Holguin made his way to the
platform and announced to everyone that the micro
phone had been cut off due to the use of "foul language"
and then ordered the dispersal of students.
Students ignored Mr. Holguin and he threatened to
call in tHe police. Upon arrival of the police to the
campus, negotiations were made between Jorge Rod-
riguez and Holguin to hold a conference in the auditor -
um with 20 interested students and 4 faculty members,
where the Chlcanos decided to make a slight change in
the agreement which had been made. Rather than
limit it to 20 students, anyone interested in the meeting
to be able to attend.
The next day Jorge Rodriguez and Holguin met and
the proposed issue then was brought up to Holguin. He
immediately acted different as though not knowing what
Jorge was trying to explain. He had made it plain then
that there were not to be any negotiations and that he
had never intended to negotiate.

Students were immediately informed of Holguin's
actions. A sit-in was held on the steps of the audi-
torium in response to them. The students then started
yelling things like "RAZA" "RAZA" "RAZA",
"CHICANO POWER", "VIVA LA RAZA". After
hearing the angry and pround cries of the Chicanos
Siegal then declared it an unlawful assembly and told
them they were blocking off a fire exit. He was im-
mediately shut off when he also denied that there had
been agreements for negotiations between faculty and
students. He then asked everyone to leave and go
home.
Still being ignored with cries of "HELL NO. WE
WON'T GO" he ordered that the Fire Department be
notified that students were blocking of f a fire .exit.
Upon arrival of the Fire Department, they tried to
explain the danger which might result if afire were to
start. It was then decided to continue the sit-in on the
Senior Patio.
Present were about 300 Chicanos all protesting the
decision to deny them the right to negotiate. Siegal
informed students that they had five minutes in which
to leave the area or action would be taken. Three min-
utes later the Hollenbeck Police Station "Riot Squad"
was allowed entrance into the campus. With them
they brought helicoptors, patrol wagons, squad cars,
and billy clubs. Over 60 police officers encircled the
rally. Jorge Rodriguez was then pinpointed by Siegal
and later charged with inciting a riot, assault and
battery, and resisting arrest with 4 police officers at
hand. Others pinpointed were student-teacher Jose
misques, also later charged with conspiracy to incit
a riot, assaulting an officer with a deadly weapon (his
body), and failure to disperse. This resulted in the
largest arrest ever to occur at Roosevelt Hhigh School
(60 students). The approximate time was 11:45 p.m.
Many students remember it as a "nightmare"
where everything seemed so unrealistic. Treated as
criminals, they were clobbered, arms were broken,
heads were bashed in, girls bodies were left badly
bruised, hair was pulled, bodies were kicked, pushed
and taken advantage of by the "riot squad". Police
brutality was witnessed by students from their class-
rooms. Is this justice?
Students were then transfered to the Hollenbeck
Police Station. Parents were informed of the arrest
only after 5:30 a.m.
The Hollenbeck Police Station was later picketed
by students, parents, and the community who supported
the action of the students and protested the actions
taken by the police.
An emergency meeting was held at the Euclid Com-
munity Center that night, where an unanimous de-
cision was made to boycott classes.
On March 9, over 700 students, parents, and com-
munity picketed Roosevelt High School protesting
actions taken by S iegal and Holguin. Other high
schools in the Los Angeles area also walked out in
Roosevelt's support. Picketing continued for the re-
mainder of the week though police tried to disorganize
the group by having arrested over 250 persons.
As a result of the boycott of classes and refusal of
administration or Board of Education to meet the de-
mands of the students, a private school has been
founded. Los Angeles Chicano Freedon School puts
an emphasis on Chicano Studies, so that the Chicano
can relate with as others schools have never done. The
school is located at Euclid Heights Community Center

INADEQURTE
SOLUTiONT
Chicanitos en $an Fernando
by Jose Luis Vargas
Supreme Court Judge Alfred
Gitelson's ruling for immediate
integration of the Los Angeles
City School system means further
prostitution of our culture.
The total impact of bussing Chi -
cano youths to another school for
the sake of token integration has
not been taken into consideration.
It would appear, however, that
this program can only deepen feel-
ings of alienation. It will take
the student out of his enviornment,
out of his community' and out of
his culture.
When bussed to another areas,
can a Chicanito help but feel the
same feelings of prejudice and
isolation that his parents have
experienced when steeping out of
the boundaries of the barrios?
If the argument is that there
are better schools outside the
barrios than this is side-stepping
the issue. Why can't there be
better schools in the barrios?
Is the achievement of a "better
education" paid by rejection of
ones community and culture?
This type of solution, to a
prevalent feeling of bias in the
white academic structure is not
adequate. At worst, it presents
more opportunities to the Chi cano
students to be programmed Into
the "American-life style". The
style that rejects him when he
encounters it
As it stands, many Chicano
students are dropplngout of com-
munity schools because of teach-
ers' attitudes, and irrelevant and
one-sided subject treatment. Bus-
sing does not offer a solution to
this problem either. If anything
the students will then be pouring
out of school. And if he does
not drop out, his academic ach-
ievement will suffer due to the
insensitive treatment he receives
in an alien enviorment.
Consideration must also be
taken of the parents who can not
speak English. The mother who
cannot meet her obligations at
the school because of her lack
of transportation and inability to
communicate.
Obviously, the victims of the
new ruling will be the children
and the parents, who overwhel-
med with frustration will feel
inadequate.
Bussing is another medium for
breaking down the Chicano culture,
his community relations and him-
self. The Chicano community
should have a decision in the
matter and demand, not bussing,
but better local schools. This
will help us in building up and
idifying our barrios.

Priest Camilo Torres, was a
slave. He was a slave just as
all men who detest poverty and
oppression and who must spend
their lives fighting for the elim-
ination of all that which should
not exist.
Camilo Torres was a perfect
example of a priest, in that he
tried to mold the teachings oi
the church to those of Christ,
rather than distort the teachings
of Christ to fit the words of the
church.
He was born in Bogota, Col-
ombia on February 3, 1929. His
father was one of the most dis-
tinguished doctors of the city.
In essence, Camilo Torres came
from the aristocrats of Colombia.
He was a member of those twenty-
four families who are the owners
of the country.
After distinguishing himself ac-
ademically at the Institute of Cer-
vantes he entered the Facultad
de Derecho. A short time later
he became a priest and gave his
first mass in 1954 at the Cath-
edral of Bogota. Next he left
for Europe and studied sociology
at the University of Lovalna for
six years. When he left for
Europe he also took the problems
of the poor with him. He saw
himself as one of the privillged
whose duty was to return to Col-
ombia where poverty and social
injustice rule. He saw himself
returning to a Christian country,
whose political system denied the
practice of any. Christian con-
cepts.
At first he was satisfied with
seeking reforms, but like many
others discovered that his pleas
were futile. On December 23,
1965, while speaking at the Univer-
sity, he declared that only an
armed revolution is capable of
bringing about the necessary ch-
anges in the political system. He
then founded the newspaper ' ' Fre -
nte Unido" whqse main objective
was to unite all the left-wing
parties. Rich in committment
he ended up in jail in Medellin.
Padre Camilo Torres, revolutionary priest
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS8SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS8SS8SSSSS8&SS88SSS88SS8SSSSSSi
The government now called
Camilo Torres a Communist. He
was a communist just like the
30,000 teachers who went on
strike, last yearbecause they had
not been paid in six months were
communist
He was a communist just like
the students were who declared a
strike when the Dominican Re-
public was invaded by United St-
ates troops.
He was a communist just like
the 50,000 workers who asked for
jobs, like the hundreds of thou-
sands of peasants who were star-
ving needlessly, like fathers who
asked for schools for their sons,
and like the nationalists who pro-
test against a foreign policy that
makes their nation a colony of
the United States and gives it
any army that is more like a
foreign legion. In that its allegi-
ance is to the Pentagon. So
Camilo Torres was in effect
declared a communist because
he was a priest.
On the 8th of November 1965
Comilo Torres disapeared mys-
teriously. Threedays later Cam-
ilo Torres had joined the Ejer-
cito de Liberacion Nacional (Na-
tional Liberation Army), a guer-
illa force that is dedicated to the
proposition that corrupt govern-
ments would no longer exploit the
people, nor make mockery of
justice, without having someone
to contend with.
After four months of guerilla
activity Camilo Torres was kil-
led on February 15, 1966, in the
mountains of Colombia, and his
body was secretly buried. Camilo
was able to distinguish the ideas
of Christ from those of a bure-
aucratic Christianity whose only
concern is passing the collection
plate. When he died, he died
for the people and while he lived,
he lived for the people... and what
more can one ask of a priest?
Other Countries Have Narcs, Too
The Department of State wishes to bring to the at-
tention of Americans traveling abroad, and par-
ticularly of young Americans, the serious con-
sequences which may result from their arrest by
foreign governments on charges of possessing, traf-
ficking in, or smuggling illegal drugs. This an-
nouncement is made in view of a marked increase in
such arrests reported by the United States consular
officers.
There were 142 Americans under detention on drug
charges in 20 foreign countires in February 1969 but by
February 1970 the total had risen to 404 — the largest
number of Americans held for narcotics violations
since records have been kept by the Department of
State.
Young Americans (under 30), who are now traveling
widely and in larger numbers than ever before,
represent the greater number of U.S. nationals
arrested abroad for narcotics violations. Most of them
are unaware of the grave potential consequences of
violating the laws of a foreign country, and of the
limited capability of their government to assist them if
they are arrested overseas. Some are the dupes of drug
peddlers who subsequently inform on them to the
authorities.
The penalties for narcotics violations in most
countries are severe. The charge - whether possession
or, more serious, trafficking — is usually determined
on the basis of the quantity of narcotics involved.
Possession of more than 500 grams (about one pound)
results in a minimum of six years in jail plus a heavy
fine in some countries, one to three years in a
"detoxification asylum" - usually a mental hospital
— in others. Trafficking in drugs evokes a penalty of
ten years to life in others.
In some countries prison conditions are primitive
(e.g., damp, underground locations; rats and vermin;
insufficient light, heat, and food; absence of sanitary
facilities; abuse by other prisoners). Pretrial con-
I moment of those charged can be prolonged-in some
countries up to 1 year without bail. Some of it is spent in
solitary confinement. Language difficulties compound
the tragedy.
Case histories like those which follow are in-
creasingly common:
— A naive experiment in marijuana smoking by a
newlywed couple, who wound up a picnic on a Carib-
bean beach by smoking "pot," turned into a nightmare
ol arrest and imprisonment. They are still in a foreign
jail awaiting trial three months after their arrest.
— An American coed traveling in Europe to tour the
art centers went to prison on a 21 ■> year sentence for the
possession of narcotics.
— A U.S. college student on a summer vacation in a
Middle Eastern country accepted from a friend a gift
of a half gram of hashish which he carried in his pocket
for several days, intending some time to try it. He was
stopped by police und arrested after a search in which
the minute amount of hashish was found on him. He
was sentenced to 2'^ years in prison. An appeal was
denied.
— A graduate student teaching art in a Near Eastern
country was given some hashish by an acquaintance
Not interested in consuming the hashish, she decided
as a joke to use it in a collage on a card she was sending
to a friend. Local postal authorities recognized it, and
she was jailed in an unheated and unlighted cell with
several disreputable local prisoners. The young
American spent several months in prison before she
was released on bail.
— A twenty-year-old American studying abroad was
arrested in Europe and held without bail for carrying a
small amount of hashish for a friend. In spite of her
previous background, which was impeccable, the court
ruled that she was guilty of trafficking in drugs.
— Nine months in a dank underground dungeon
before being tried was the fate of one college-age
American traveling in the Middle East, where the law
calls for 1-5 years for possession of hashish, and 3-15
years for trafficking. While serving their sentences in
this area, some American youngsters have been
removed to prison mental hospitals. Courts may not
consider mitigating factors, such as the youth of a
suspect or the absence of prior offenses. There is often
no bail.
— An attempt by a young American to smuggle 51 1
pounds of hashish into an East European country led to
a live-year sentence at a work camp for foreign
prisoners where conditions are barely tolerable
During his imprisonment, he developed tubercujosrs.
He served 20 months before being released: .
The increase in arrests of Americans abroad on drug
charges is in part the result of intensified worldwide
efforts by the U.S. Government, which is working
closely with other governments in an international
effort to suppress the illicit trade in narcotics and
marijuana. It is also related to the increase in illegal
use of drugs in this country and in attempts to smuggle
narcotics and marijuana into this country, as indicated
by Bureau of Customs seizures.
"Americans traveling abroad are subject to the laws
of the country they are visiting; they are not protected
by U.S. laws. The U.S. Government can only seek to
ensure that the American is not discriminated against
— that is, that he receives the same treatment as do
nationals of the country in which lie is arrested who are
charged with the same offense.
When a United States citizen is arrested abroad, U.S.
consular officials move as quickly as possible to
protect his rights , but the laws of the country where the
arrest takes place determine what those rights are.
Whenever possible, an American consular officer
visits the detainee on learning of his arrest, informs
him of his rights, and provides him with a list of local
attorneys from which to select defense counsel. If the
detainee wishes, the consul helps him contact his
family or friends to let them know what has happened
and seek their assistance.
The consul reports the arrest and subsequent
developments to the Department of State. He is in
regular contact with the detainee, his attorney, and
local officials to determine how the detainee is being
treated, and to make sure that processing of the legal
charges is not unduly delayed. He also does whatever
is possible to solve any difficulties which may result
from the conditions of detention. (For example, in
some foreign prisons a bare subsistence diet is
provided, and families are expected to supply most of
the prisoner's food.)
Under U.S. law, official U.S. funds cannot be used to
pay legal fees or other expenses for an indigent
American detainee.
SONG OF A GIRL IN LOVE
Once upon a time
I miss you and my heart leaped out to touch
Yours but you weren't there. You never were
When I most needed you. Only the feeling I
Had for you was my reason for living.
How can I be sure?
Tell me when the train leaves and I'll be on it.
Just a little while longer.
I never loved a man the way I love you, but there
Ain't no way. So I say a little-prayer that grows
Every day. Standing looking at the dawn upon the
World I know that love is a hurting thing. Time
is so slow but I'll never lose that feeling of love.
Let it be me 'cause
Something beautiful started once and now it's gone
• • •
You can make it if you try: I really hope you do.
You know we once had a love — what now my love.
Don't throw it away — please tell me — what now
My love.
A cooperative effort by J, J & B.
"Gratifying success" with the
first year of California's first
weekend law study program was
announced by the Glendale
College of Law as it opened
enrollments for its fourth,
quarter classes which start May
18.
Glendale College of Law is now
accepting enrollments for its day
and evening classes, which start
May 18, as well as for its unique
weekend program, for which new
classes will begin in September.
Dr. Seymour Greitzer, Glen-
dale College of Law president,
said the weekend study program,
which was started one year ago
on an experimental basis, "has
lived up to our most optimistic
expectations in meeting the
needs of students whose business
or professional commitments
prevent them from attending
classes during the week, or who
live long distances from the
school and find daily commuting
impossible."
Entrance requirements for the
unique program are 60 college
units, the same as for the night
and day courses offered by the
school. Under special cir-
cumstances, students who do not
have the academic requirements
and who are over 23 years of age
may qualify by taking a college
equivalency examination given
by the Committee of Bar
Examiners.
Glendale College of Law is a
four -year, part-time school which
qualifies students for the
California State Bar
examinations. Graduates receive
LL.B. or J.D. degrees. Additional
information may be obtained by
writing the Glendale College of
law, 803 E. Broadway, Glendale,
Calif. 91205, or by telephoning
(213) 247-0770.

for fellowship and discussion.
above stated "opposing" factions.
From these two areas, the guidelines and the
developmental reasoning behind the topic selection,
USA developed a general series of criterion to be
followed in both the wording, phrasing, and
sequential development of the questions posed in
the "No Title Survey",, Basically these criterion
were as follows i
1) no incrimination were to be directed within
the context of the questions byt
a) their wording, phrasing, and sequential
order, and
b) that the questions allowed the res-
ponding party the maximum degree of
interpretive freedom in his answer
and response o In this manner the
formative committee attempted not tot
1) "load the questions", and
2) "lead the witness".
By following this policy the survey allowed the
responding individual to define from what areas
any action (i.e. entry, seizure of belongings and
subsequent reaction) may have been initiated towards
him or by him.
2) that opinion questions, when relevant and
possible, were followed directly by ques-
tions which asked for concrete and
substainable evidence (e.g. question #2
which asks for an opinion in regards to
entry and the following question #3 which
asks for "knowledge (i.e. definite proof.)")
3) that the questions stimulated the maximum
degree of response and communication bet-
ween the USA, the students, the adminis-
tration, and between members of each of
these factions amongst their peers, and
4) that the questions. yielded themselves tot
a) rapid tabulation - to preserve the
immediateness of the topic and its
subsequent publication, and
b) complete responses from the surveyed
students;
1) minimizing their inconvenience, while
2) maximizing their degree of inter-
(Continued from page 2)
Section 5 - Powers
All power shall reside in the students. Elected of-
ficials shall function only to keep records and coor-
dinate activity of the ASB. The official representative
of the ASB shall be the General Council excepting
special cases in which a delegate or group of delegates
is requested to represent the ASB. In these cases a
delegate will be elected from the General Council,
providing that some prior notification from the organ
making the request is given. The General Council shall
have the power to review, change, and adopt the ASB
budget. All expenditures of ASB monies in excess of $50
must be authorized by the General Council. The
General Council shall prescribe election procedures of
the ASB. The General Council may enact any
measures necessary and proper for carrying out the
aforesaid powers.
Section 6 - Procedures

cording to Robert's Rules of Order, Revised, and any
other rules deemed necessary.
A quorum shall consist of 21 students (voting students ) .
The General Council shall meet at least twice a

Elected officials, excepting the chairman chairing
the meeting, shall have the right to vote. Chairman
shall have the vote in case of a tie.
Floor privileges are open to all, except the chairman
chairing the meeting.
A bill passed by the General Council becomes policy
unless contested within ten days by students. If 10 per
cent of the students petition to to contest it , a two-thirds
vote of the General Council may override it.
Article III -Judicial
All judicial matters shall be as specified in the
"Statement of Rights and Freedoms of Students at
California Lutheran College."
Article IV - Qualifications
All persons eligible for elective office shall have been
a member of the ASB previously or during the quarter

elective ASB office simultaneously without General
Council approval.
Article V - Elections

missioners shall be held in April.
Section 2
Term of office of ASB, AMS, and AWS officers shall
be from the middle of May of the year of their election
through the middle of May the following year.
Article VI - Initiative, Recall
Section 1
Upon petition of 10 per cent of the student body, an
initiative measure shall be placed before the student
body immediately in an election for approval of a
majority of those voting. If approved, that legislation
shall go into effect immediately.
Section 2
Upon petition of 10 per cent of the constituency of any
officer, a recall election within that constituency shall
be called. A 3/5 vote favoring recall shall be necessary
for removal. If approved, that officer shall be removed
immediately.
Article VII - Club Government
All clubs shall be autonomous, consistent with this
constitution. Each new club must have General
Council approval of its Constitution.
Article VIII -Amendments
Section 1
Amendments to this constitution may be proposed by
a majority vote of the General Council or by a petition
from 10 per cent of the student body.
Section 2
Proposed amendments must be placed before the
student body for an amendment election. Upon 2/3 of
those voting, the proposed amendment shall go into
effect.
Article IX - Ratification
Upon approval of 2/3 of those students voting in a
ratification election, this Constitution shall become
effective. Until such time as the elections of chairmen
and hiring of clerks can be held, the ASB President and
Vice-President shall continue in office directly
responsible to the student body. All other ASB officers,
excepting Treasurer and stated Commissioners in
Article II, Section 3, shall be considered null and void.
pretation and freedom of response.
It may be added that question #11
was deliberately separated from the
body of the survey in an attempt tot
a) isolate its opinionated form
from the preceding questions,
b) establish its importance, rele-
vancy, and its ambiguous and
undefined terminology, and to
c) establish its non-sequential
nature, that is to .allow for its
response without the necessity of
answering the preceding questions«
From these foundations the survey was developed
and placed into circulation. On April 12th, 1970
the survey was personally (as much as was possible
and again in an attempt to establish intra-coramunity
communication) collected and on April l^th, 1970
the "No Title Survey" was tabulated, on the basis
of the returned survey forms© At this time, April
15th, 1970, we, USA, are still attempting to collect
the remaining outstanding survey forms by means of
both personal contact and intra-campus mail (any-
one who is still retaining an outstanding survey
form and desires to return the copy may send it
through intra-campus mail to P.B. 2911 and it will
be compiled in our secondary tabulations). Having
thus illustrated the chronological development of
the "No Title Survey" and the guidelines, concerns
and goals from which it developed, we may now
analyze the preliminary tabulations.

We li*e in a finite system and we can't keen
growing forever or there'll be nothing lell
of Ihc untouched landscape. As Edward
Abbey put ii. "growth for ihe sake of growth

especially true if growth takes pljce in
industries which pollute, or cover ihe land-
scape, or use finite resources or create waste.

(SST: "Airplane of Tomorrow")
BREAKS WINDOWS, CRACKS WALLS,
STAMPEDES CATTLE, AND
WILL HASTEN THE END OF
THE AMERICAN WILDERNESS
FRIENDS OF THE EARTH is a conser-
vation organization and we have been
reading, with mixed feelings, ail the recent
reports about threats to our environment and the
"massive efforts to win the War on Pollution.'*
It's a good thing, clearly, to recognize that
we've only a few years to meet such problems.
However we have the sinking feeling that what
we've witnessed so far is only apparent activity;
cosmetic solutions which are creating an impres-
sion in the public mind that things are somehow
being taken care of.
But things are not being taken care of.
For example, this:
1 ) In the same message that he spoke so elo-
quently about environmental pollution, President
Nixon announced that he was budgeting $275
million for this year's work toward a commercial
supersonic transport (SST).
2) Mr. Nixon said that he made that decision
in order to (a) create jobs, (b) help the balance of
payments, and (c) add to our national prestige.
He did not say anything about the virtues of the
plane itself. It is easy to understand why.
3 ) The SST has been a subject of controversy
mainly because it produces a "sonic boom." If
you've ever heard one (from the much quieter
military supersonic fighters that occasionally lly
by) you'll remember it as a shattering experience.
Something in the magnitude of a factory explo-
sion down the block. It is that sudden and scary.
4 ) Sleeping through a sonic boom is out of the

While il is difficult to find a universally agreed upon scale
o/ noise levels, the above figures will show you where the
SST fin in the scheme ol things. The decibel scale increases
logarithmically, by the way. to an increase in ten decibels
represents a doubling in the perceived noise level!
According to the FAA. 100 decibels is a level that a high
percentage ol the population will find Intolerable, and lo
which they'll react strongly. Yet, the FAA's new noise
standards permit 108. The first question, then, is why they
are permitting noise standards above what the population
will find tolerable? And secondly why are they supporting
the SST which will be many times worse than is now per
mlsslble? If the argument Is that most of this urban noise
will be right around the airport, we should point out lhal on
landing and take-oQ, the SST Is expected lo produce noise
levels in excess of 100 decibels over a distance ol 13 miles.
question. Booms can break windows, crack walls,
and stampede cattle and have done so through-
out the country. If they're used for everyday
commercial travel, stay off of operating tables
at boom-time.
5 ) The boom affects an area 50 miles wide for
the entire length of a flight. If the SST flew the
usual air routes in this country, the boom zones
would cover practically everything. (See map.)
In some places— Cape Cod for example — the
average day might be punctuated by twenty
bangs loud enough to make you duck for cover.
Even wilderness areas — the one place where
man's technological feats give way lo nature's
quiet — will offer no escape.
6) Boeing Aircraft — which is receiving a 90rf
subsidy lo build the thing — likes to call it the
"airplane of tomorrow." As for the boom, they
call that "a 20th Century sound."
People in Oklahoma City, however, don't call
it that. In 1964 they put up with five months of
military supersonic testing and reacted this way:
15,000 complaints to authorities, 4,000 damage
suits and the declaration by a quarter of the pop-
ulation that they could never live with il.
7) Mr. Nixon, apparently sensitive to this
point, said we shouldn't worry, that the SST
would fly at boom speeds only over the oceans,
or other sparsely populated areas
But the FAA has not said that, though if it did,
it wouldn't mean much. Its membership changes.
remember, and so by the way does the President.
Ten years hence, if SSTs prove unprofitable
without high speed land routes which do you
think the airlines will do: scrap them? Or lobby
to change the ruling? You know the answer.
S ) But what about the oceans?
No one knows the effect of sonic booms upon
sea life. If the enormous vibrations should dis-
perse the fish concentrations off Newfoundland
lover which most trans-Atlantic SSTs would fly).
it could disturb the fish industries there. That's
409! of the U.S. fish catch and 12% of the
world's.
We do know what happens to animals living
under the boom. They panic. A boom killed
2.000 mink in Minnesota during 1966; a boom
drove a herd of cattle off a cliff in Switzerland
in 1968; and simulated booms have significantly
changed the birth patterns of test rats at the
University of Oklahoma.
9) As for the sparsely populated areas, those
arc what we now call wilderness; places still free
of the crunch of technology.
Or they're farmlands, or reservations, or else
national park lands where a visit would no longer
be the same. Not with a boom every little while,
and the trees rattling, and animals going crazy
from the shock.
So much for sonic booms. They are a terrible
prospect, but they're only part of the story.
10) Before making his decision, Mr. Nixon
established a committee of many of the top
figures in his own administration to advise him
concerning whether he should cancel the whole
SST project.
They said yes. he should.
The feeling of their report is typified by the
remark of Mr. Hendrik S. Houthakker of the
President's Council of Economic Advisors who,
on the question of prestige, put it this way:
". . . we do not believe that our prestige abroad
will be enhanced by a concentration on white
elephants." (See also Footnote.)

I I i There is evidence that the SST will pollute
the upper atmosphere in such a way as may result
in teTible alterations of global weather.
1 2 ) It will be far more dangerous than present
aircraft because of severe problems of metal
fatigue, landing speed, visibility and maneuver-
ability.
13) It will have a relatively short range (4,000
miles). And despite the fact lhal it will be smaller
lhan the 747. it will be more expensive to build,
and will use three times the fuel.
As a result, it will be much more expensive to
fly in. It will be an elitist's flight.
That's your "airplane of tomorrow!"
Notwithstanding all the talk, it appears that
hasii attitudes remain unaltered.
The SST is being built because people continue
lo believe that there's an advantage to being able
to get from N. Y. to Paris two hours sooner than
at present; that if technology can do a thing, then
it ought to be done.
But this attitude — the tendency to place tech-
nology ahead of considerations of our living
environmeni— has gotten us into this mess. More
luxury technology may have seemed a good
idea at one time in history, when we were an
underdeveloped country. But now we are an over-
developed country.
The little bits of wilderness that still exist are
being threatened daily by our more, faster, bigger
attitudes. Industry needing more space, or trees,
or ore; ever more people buying more of what
industry makes and then seeking a place to escape
from it.
Talking about "pollution" is not sufficient. If
industry, "newly awake to its responsibilities."
as the media like to say, does come up with a
non-polluting auto engine, will it then be okay
to cover-up the resl of America with highways
and cars? (Mr. Nixon's budget also contains $5'/i
billion for highway construction. The result will
be more damage lhan all of his anti-pollution
programs could possibly correct. )
And even if there were no boom, the more
noise we have in cities and over America's park-
land, the more it will confirm the nightmarish
feeling. We arc Im keel in a small room, and the
walls and veiling are t lusmv m <<n its

and to investigate the implications of a society

Meanwhile, we are also opposing specific gov-
ernment and industry projects that seem to us
to typify the sort of thinking that will lead our
species into an unnecessarily short and miserable
life. The SST is one. The highway juggernaut is
another. Excessive power generation. Watei di-

stop there. The congressional vote on the SST will
be coming up within the next few weeks. Write,
telephone and wire your own congressmen, the

Transportation, the FAA, and urge others to do
likewise.

A Letter/ Vietnam
Moratorium Committee
April 20, 1970
Dear Friend,
Institutions are formed by men to respond to certain
human needs. The Moratorium emerged as an idea —
an idea which expressed a vision of America. This
vision saw no troops in Southeast Asia. This vision saw
the Vietnam war as a debilitating national tragedy.
This vision saw a strategy for building a broad-based
public movement to support the political position of
immediate withdrawal from Vietnam.
An organization began to be built around these
visions. A network of people who shared a similar
perception of this nation's course in Vietnam were
brought together and worked together. Moratorium
Committees were formed on campuses that had never
held anti-war demonstrations and in towns which had
never seen anti-war rallies. As the powerful
resurgence of anti-war activity last fall, the October
demonstrations were heavily covered by the media.
October 15th and November 15th were national events.
Since that time, work has continued.
Each Moratorium Committee viewed its role in its
own community differently. Broad peace coalitions
have been formed during the last months, peace action
centers have been established, and educational
programs are in operation. The drama and national
attention that characterized the autumn has never
returned, but much of the substance of our effort — the
concentration on local organizing — has become more
solid and widespread during the intervening months.
From the beginning, these efforts retained an in-
dependent identity. People worked for peace because
of the conviction they shared, not because of a com-
mittee name or composition. During the fall, we as an
institution were able to provide a stimulus and a
national focus to the work of the peace movement. As a
strategy to gain national attention and to build public
support for withdrawal, we were dynamically suc-
cessful during that time.
After a period of dormancy, dissatisfaction with the
President's policies is again growing. The last Gallup
poll indicated that approval for the way which Mr.
Nixon is handling the war has dropped a dramatic 13
points. The expanding war in Southeast Asia and the
rising American death toll are also contributing to the
country's uneasiness.
On April 15th the second largest series of protests in
this nation's history occurred; although nearly one
million people demonstrated their opposition to the
current policies, there is little prospect of immediate
change in the Administration's policy in Vietnam. A
new direction and focus are needed for anti-war ac-
tivities.
Our strategy has been used, has been temporarily
successful, and is now in need of renewal. Our
maximum effectiveness has been reached. We do not
seek permanence for its own sake. One of the major
complaints which many of us share relates to the
nature of institutions in this country — unresponsive,
afraid of change, more concerned with perpetuating
their structure than their function. Only vitality and
responsiveness to a real need justify organizational
existence. We as an institution no longer fill the need
for which we came together.
After a meeting with our regional coordinators, after
telephone calls to friends and organizers, we have
made the decision to disband the national office of the
Vietnam Moratorium Committee. Local com-
mittees and offices will continue to function as they
always have — independently. We will continue to mail
a newsletter to all those who have worked with us in the
past.
Those of us in the national office will be doing a
variety of things relating to the peace movement.
David Mixner is moving to Denver to do local
organizing. Marge Sklencar will be organizing in the
East. David Hawk and Sam Brown will be working on
peace concerts and other fund-raising projects to begin
to pay our enormous debts. Many of our staff will be
continuing their work in local communities,
organizing, and working for peace candidates.
It is crucial that the peace network which has been
constructed over the last ten months be maintained.
Our new mailing address is:
Post Office Box 3237
Columbia Heights Station
Washington. D.C. 20009
If you change your address please let us know.
Students should send us their permanent address.
Your work, your support, and your participation
made and sustained the Moratorium. Even at this
time, we need your help. In the course of organizing for
April 15th we have incurred substantial debts for which
we are personally responsible. If each of you receiving
this letter sends us $5 or $10, our debt would be greatly
reduced. Otherwise, some of us will have to remain
here for many months organizing projects solely for
that purpose. Please help us once again.
An announcement to disband a national office is
rarely positive — yet we feel that we have made the
right decision. With this decision comes the ex-
pectation of something new, the expectation of an
original strategy which will move the country the way
the Moratorium did last fall.
We know that on the most important level — the
community level — the anti-war organizing will con-
tinue, coalitions will be maintained, and education
projects will be carried out. We, here in Washington,
hope to be able to join in these organizing efforts very
shortly.
Thank you again.
Peace.

By following these basic guidelines , the individual may help prevent the
continuation of America's garbage stockpiling program:
USE PAPER PRODUCTS IN MODERATION. Paper is produced from tiees. Dead trees
do not produce seedlings, oxygen, or woodland habitats, nor do they break up the
soil or prevent erosion. Live trees serve these functions. Paper means dead
trees.
Do Not Use: paper towels, napkins, plate§, cups, etc.
Use Instead: their reusable counterparts.
Use: single ply toilet paper instead of double ply.
Newspaper is worth $8-10/ton. Save all old newspapers in tied bundles. "En-
vironment Studies" will collect them at Cal Lutheran. For the L.A. area, the
following agencies will buy old newspaper:
Allan Paper Co., 14618 E. Arrow Hwy., Baldwin Pk. (213-337-7097)
Commercial Waste Paper, 1734 E. 24th St., L.A. (213-231-4343)
Independent Paper Stock 3033 E. Washington Blvd, L.A. (213-263-2103)
West Coast Paper Stock 211 E. Washington Blvd., L.A. (213-583-6005)
Use the Library — do not subscribe to or buy single issues of magazines or
newspapers .
Use Bunch boxes rather than paper bags. If sacks are used, re-uee thmm
until they are worn out.
When writing use both sides of the paper and scratch paper for notes.

To: Members of the Experimental Budget Committee
From: T. B. Troll an, Jr.
Subject: First Meeting
This wiJl confirm that the first meeting of the Experimental Budget Committee
Will be held on Thursday, April 30, 1970 from 2 to 4 p.m. in the President's
Conference Room.
The concept of this Budget Committee was suggested during the last meeting of
the Regent's Commission on Organization and the Budget Committee has been im-
plemented as an administrative action to test the application of this concept.
Consequently, we will consider the preliminary budget for the 1970-71 academic
year and attempt to develop guidelines for the allocation of forecast income.
In turn, we will review departmental expense requests.
This Experimental Budget Committee has equal representation from the administra-
tion, faculty and student body. At present, those named to the Experimental
Budget Committee by representatives to the Regent's Commission on Organization
are: Dean Edmund, Dean Gangsei, Mr. Shoup, Dr. Cooper, Dr. Swenson, Dr. Walz,
Mr. Paul Blodgett, Mr. Anthony Fernandez and Mr. Steve Rosemary.
— The
U.S. National Student
Association today released the
rules and regulations of the 5th
National Student Film Festival —
this year awarding $82,500 in
prizes and grants. The Festival is
being sponsored this year by the
Jos. Schlitz Brewing Co. of
Milwaukee, in cooperation with
the American Film Institute and
N.S.A.
This year's Festival, which is
expected to attract more than 300
entries, will award $22,500 in
prize money and $60,000 in
fellowships, and will permit
winning filmmakers to negotiate
their own distribution
arrangements.
The Festival judges — five
professionals selected from
outstanding directors, editors,
actors, producers, educators,
technicians, and critics — will
each name their own $2500
winners at fall premieres in New
York and Los Angeles. The
judges will also grant 20 other
films $500 each by a weighted
ballot system.
All filmmakers who enter the
Festival will be eligible for two
American Film Institute Schlitz
Fellowships worth $30,000 each.
The Schlitz Fellows will study for
two years at AFI's Center for
Advanced Film Studies in
Beverly Hills. AFI will award the
fellowships based on the film-
makers' comprehensive
background qualifications.
In announcing Schlitz's support
of the Festival, Robert A.
Uihlein, president, said, "We feel
the 5th National Student Film
Festival is a significant way to
support creative acuvities on the
college campuses of America. We
find growing enthusiasm for film
activity among young people and
wish to encourage it to the full."
Films qualified for entry are
those made on a non-commercial
basis by American college
students or by any student
enrolled in a U.S. college,
university, art institute, or
professional film school. Films
submitted to a previous National
Student Film Festival sponsored
by NSA, or films already in
commercial distribution prior to
the end of the judging period, are
not eligible.
The Festival is administered
by National Academic Services,
Inc.

tor of the News-Chronicle wished to see him (Mr. Guth) in his offices (the Managing Editor's)
at 1:30 that afternoon. When John protested that he had a class at that time and was reluctant
to cut it, the Dean informed him that the Managing Editor wished <bo talk to him concerning the
poem that I had taken in the previous day, and that John had better be there because of certain
action that might be taken and which might concern him.
John immediately informed me of this action, and I immediately tried to contact the Academ-
ic Dean About one hour later I did contact him. The Dean explained to me. that the Managing Ed-
itor wished to see John concerning the poem he had written. I knew that, and asked the Dean
why the Managing Editor had not contacted John diredtly, or had not contacted ME directly, since
I am the Editor of the newspaper in which the poem was to be printed. The Dean's replv was not
satisfactory (since I know perfectly well that the Managing Editor of the News-Chronicle knows
my phone number, or can get it quite quickly-and since John and I live in the same house, he
wouldn t have much trouble getting ahold of John, either). I still don't know why the Managing
Editor of the News-Chronicle used the rather— unorthodox—channels he used to call Mr. Guth
on the carpet. I would like to find out.
I also contacted the acting Commisioner of the Student Publications Commission, Bill Carl-
son, and informed him of the situation. Bill came over to the house, the three of us talked it
over, and John called the Managing Editor to ask what the hell wa2 going on. The Managing Editor
replied that he should come over to his office at the N-C and he would fidd out.
So he did.
So did I.
So did the SPC Commissioner.
The three of us were informed by the Managing Editor that he would not typeset the Guth
poem, nor would he print it, nor would he print anything that, IN HIS JUDGEMENT, was similar
to it. The poem was, IN HIS PERSONAL OPINION, offensive. And besides, the typesetters were mar-
ried ladies of some years.
With this final clinching argument ringing in our ears, we shook hands with the Managing
Editor of the News-Chronicle, wished him no hard feelings, and left. The poem was not typeset,
nor is it printed IN this weeks issue. . . .And I would be less than frank if I did not state
that at this time the future of the relationship between the News-Chronicle and the Mountclef
Echo is in doubt.

2) Ah yes, friends and neighbors, boys and girls, Tricky Dicky has done it again! If you
watched the news or read your morning paper, you are aware that our Beloved President has taken
it upon himself to lead us still further into the tropical jungles of Indochina: namely and to
wit (less), Cambodia.
Yes, my friends, it looks as if Cambodia will now get to join that select circle of South-
east Asian quote nations unquote to be benefited by the presence of Our American Boys. Over
There of course, it's only a purely defensive maneuver on the part of Our American Boys to
help the Cambodians and South Vietnamese (can't forget them) crush the headquarters of the Viet
Cong and North Vietnamese operating in Cambodia. And of course our Beloved President assures
us that Our American Boys will immediately withdraw as soon as those headquarters are destroyed
Sounds fapiliar, doesn't it. 1954. 1961. 1964. 1968.
So allow me to get "philosophical" about it— this has G0T*to be the most asinine move ever
made since the Jews took on the Romans in A.D 70. And it also says something about the state
of our nation's leaders, who preach troop withdrawals with one side of their mouths, and order
American combat troops into Cambodia with the other side. The greatest tragedy, however, is vet
to come. For one way or the other, no mattdr what the public reaction to this move may be, the
United States will never be quite the same. I fear we have taken another step towards the very
totalitarianism that our leaders claim we are fighting against.

How come a certain highly placed administrator hasn't ansewered the allegations brought
against him by the student body? If they are as false as is rumored, thay should be easily
refuted. Or doesn't anyone remember that far back? I guess it wasn't important anyway.
While we're kicking dead horses, what ever happened to the idea of eliminating women's
hours? Or doesn't anyone remember that far back? I guess it wasn't important anyway.
Has anything been done about the "No Title" survey, which confirmed reports of unorthodox
procedures employed in searching dormitory rooms during the quarter break? Or doesn't
anyone remember that far back? I guess it wasn't important anyway.
Now that we're getting involved in Cambodia, how did we ever get into Vietnam in the
first place? Or doesn't anyone remember that far back? I guess it wasn't important anyway.

SUPERMARKET ECOLOGY: Avoid articles which are waste fully packagdd.
If they are essential then remove the packaging materials at the check-
stand and give them to the clerk with an explanation, requesting tJiat
they be returned to the manufacturer .
Do not take extra paper bags. If the boxboy uses two bags, remove
one and return it to him with an explanation.
Transfer liquids at the checks tand from cartons to your own re-
usable containers.
Bring your own bags for the market — do not accept theirs.
POST OFFICE ECOLOGY: Postal ratesa are going up because adverti-
sers are flooding the postal system with trash. If you receive adver-
tising offering free trips , etc., accept them and waste the adversi-
ser's money. Send back all pre-paid envelopes — they cost the ad-
vertisers about 7$ each.
Take "junk mail" to the post office and ask that your name be
removed from the mailing list. The P.O. is required by law to do
this and the cost is absorbed by the advertiser.
DO NOT USE PLASTIC MATERIALS if possible. They are not bio-de-
gradable. Avoid cellophane-wrapped materials, styrofoam cups, and
liquids in plastic bottles.
ALUMINUM: takes 4 times as long as steel to naturally decom-
pose
RECYCLE ALUMINUM CANS!
(Coca-cola, Coors, Busch, Hamrnsm Bud.) cans may be returned

The Who & Why of U.S.A
A new group has emerged at California Lutheran — the coalition
for United Student Action (USA) . The platform of USA
is contained in its name: united student action.
It represents a diverse collection of students brought
together with a common concern for social and academic
freedom at CLC. The broad purpose of USA is to assure
that change occurs here at an accelerated pace within or
without the "proper channels." The committee contends
that there must be freedom, rather than imposed order or
restriction, if education is to have any meaningful impact.
In terms of "Christian" education, we believe that it must
be offered as the opportunity to relate to the teachings of Christ,
not the requirement. It must supplement our education, not
limit it. USA would further submit that those regulations governing
the student's academic and social lifethat are grounded in
an administrator's interpretation of what is the "Christian
bias" of CLC are not legitimate for they deny the individual's
freedom, ability and need to make his own moral judgements.
Rather, USA maintains that decisions should be made
by those mostintimately affected. And with this, there must
be a quality of open-endedness and freedom from arbitrary
restrictions which do not allow the search "to go where it
may and discover what it must."
We are not "student-power" advocates. Our scope is not that
limited; we fully understand that the issues raised here must
be carried beyond the campus. Our commitment cannot be
restricted to CLC and, thus, we will reach out into the
community. For now, we intend to educate — ourselves and hopefully
others. Join with us in this project. Challenge, test, debate
what we have to say for that is what education is all about.
CLC has long needed a USA. We cannot afford for the position it
represents to slip away. Demand with us that California Lutheran
College live up to its credo: "Love of Christ, Truth and Freedom."

CLC Sunday Music Festival
Worship
By Herouy Emmanuel
Sunday services have come into being at CLC for
just about two weeks. Held at the Coffee House, the
services have been generally admired by those at-
tending them.
This is a dimension, a new dimension, to students in
this college, and one that we should participate in. The
service itself is informal, the words heartsearching,
and the theme one of brotherhood, concern and par-
ticipation.
The college pastor. Pastor Swanson has led the
services which are held at 10:00 a.m. He wants more
students to come to the meetings. One has nothing to
lose and much to gain. The worshipping is in a friendly,
yel serious atmosphere; genuine concern for others "is
present. Holy Communion is administered and the
fellowship is shown as the participants pass the Bread
and Wine to those beside them. Self-expression is
encouraged —a student is given the chance to say what
his heart wants him to say. Contrihutions are needed —
be it candles, or anything one has made, it is welcome.
The student body is encouraged to participate in the
new service programs on Sunday mornings at the
Coffee House Show concern through this needed
dimension of college life
N ea r Las Vegas
Las Vegas, undisputed entertainment capital of the
world, will take a backseat to neighbor, Jean, for at
least one week, for the filming of "They Said it Couldn't
be Done," a movie which includes a companion music
leslival.
Al King, President of CMA Artists Management,
disclosed today that many of the biggest names in pop.
rock and western music will perform in the Southern
Nevada community June 29 through July 5.
Among the Gold Record winners scheduled to ap-
pear, are the Beatles, Youngbloods. Blood, Sweat and
Tears, Tony Bennett, Johnny Cash, Dionne Warwick.
Paul Revere and the Raiders. Mr. Clean and the Un-
called for Knur. Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, The
Doors, Jim Hendrix, The Association and more.
Plans by Nevada Film and Music Festival. Inc.,
headed by Richard Keats, call for the construction of
three stages which will permit three acts to perform
simultaneously for the cameras and crowd throughout
each ol the seven days of the event.
The Film and Music Festival will actually be
presented on land approximately four miles south ol
Jean, Nevada located some 32 miles from the heart of
downtown Las Vegas. The leased land is eight and one-
hall square miles in size.
According to Keats, a lease has been obtained per-
milting the use of the land. Upwards of a halfTmi+L.
people are expected to attend over the seven-day run.
Tickets will be placed on sale in Los Angeles, New
York City. Chicago, Atlanta, Miami, Dallas ausfcLas
Vegas.
The expected crowd necessary to the final scenls of
the movie poses a logistics problem which feats
proposes to handle via existing access roads which
leed the area from nearby Interstate 15. Sanitation,
food and other necessary facilities will be provided and
special water tank cars will be brought in by railroad.
"We've got two and a half months to get the job done.
By that time, we will have facilities to handle all of the
people we expect, and then some." Keats said.

Locked in these fuel pellets, which
contain uranium, is an incredible amount
of energy.
For instance, one cubic foot of Uranium
235 will generate more electricity than
32 billion cubic feet of natural gas.
At Edison, we've been using uranium
fuel pellets like these for the past two
years. The energy they release spins the
giant turbine that makes electricity at the
San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.
This peaceful use of the atom means a
dependable source of low-cost electricity
for our customers. It also means progress
without adding to Southern California's
environmental problems. With nuclear
power plants, maintaining clean air is
not a problem. Neither is radiation. No
one has ever been injured by radiation
from any commercial nuclear power
plant in the United States. And plants
have been operating for more than
12 years. After all, even President and
Mrs. Nixon live next door to a nuclear
plant when they're at the "Western
White House" in San Clemente. It's less
than 3 miles from San Onofre.
In the years ahead, Edison will build
more nuclear power units to meet the
critical need for more electricity— now
doubling about every 8 years. Engineering
and design work is underway now for
two additional units at San Onofre. They
are scheduled for commercial operation
in 1976 and 1977- Thereafter, the only
major generating facilities Edison will
build in the South Coast Basin will be
nuclear units. We make this commitment
as part of our continuing efforts toward
a cleaner, more attractive environment
for everyone.
To us, that's important.
Southern California Edison
An Equnl Opportunity Employer
(Continued from page 5)
organized and was ready to be activated. It was
at this point that the upper echelon of the Admin-
istration got wind of this program. Roger was
reprimanded for "not going through proper channels".
(If he had, the Experimental College would have
never been launched. Also, when you're the Director
you usually don't have to ask permission to carry
out your duties.) This story goes on with Roger
being gypped out of the Directorship of his own
creation, the Experimental College. That was a
dirty deed executed by a few self-centered
"Christian" souls.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, what was dorm
life all about? Roger was working with one incom-
petent assistant who admitted to Roger that he was
not effectively doing his job. Yet, on the other
hand he turned right around to the Dean of Students
and told him what a great job he was doing. Roger
was_ also working with certain R.A.'s who were
Creason's right hand men and they couldn't cope
with adjusting to the new situation at hand. In a
position like this those who should have been working
for Roger ended up doing more work against him.
The first quarter ended with a conference with
the Deans at which Roger was called on the carpet
for many misrepresentations.
Roger knew he didn't want to return to CLC for
another year. The administration Vnew Roger was
too much of a liberal for them. (Up to that point
Roger had done nothing "radical"!) It was then that
Roger's replacement was informed that he would be
taking over the show soon.
Roger was very optimistic about second quarter
as he began it with his own hand picked secretary
and R.A.'s. As the second quarter progressed, it
became evident that there is no defense against
closed-minded prejudiced people.
During the course of this quarter Roger was
not allowed by the Administration to continue his
group sensitivity programs as some of our Adminis-
trators viewed this as harmful, despite the fact
that in one more quarter Roger will complete his
master's degree in guidance and counseling.
So, Roger began other programs to provide more
activities for the students. He also contacted the
vending machine companies and obtained a higher
percentage of the cut for the CUB. He had more and
better vending machines brought in. He brought in
a Foosball machine and pinball machines to offer
more activities at the CUB. He began a free weekly
movie series at Mountclef and he sponsored open
dorm dances at Mountclef. With the activities he
initiated at the CUB, the CUB was becoming self
supporting.
Roger thought things were going pretty good
yntil. . .
The operator interfered with the subject
matter of his calls...
Various guys who Roger had caught drinking,
stealing — guys that Roger didn't report, but
rather treated like gentlemen and cleared up the
matter in this fashion — ironically enough, it was
these guys who were some of the first to start
rumors, spread mendacities, and further slander
Roger.
Then there was the campaign against the pin-
ball machines in the men's dorm. Roger conducted
a poll and the results shoved that 80 or 90 percent
of. the men were in favor of the pinball machines
in the dorm. The R.A.'s met concerning the matter
and some of them were not in favor of the majority
ruling. A couple of R.A. 's had been promised by the
Dean of Students that if Roger didnit satisfy their
wishes, the Dean would. Roger also received a call
fppm the controller's office ordering him to have
the. machines removed.
The coup d'etat came at the Administrative
retreat towards the end of second quarter. It was
stated there that the students have no respect for
the administration and in order to gain more respect
the administration should firm up on the rules.
Roger spoke out agreeing with this. But first, he
said, you have to weed out rules that are antiquated
and no longer relevant today. "What rules?" a voice
thundered out. Roger went on to describe women's
hours, drinking on campus, and the dichotomy of
these rules. There was a minute of silence after
his speech; then a man with white hair proclaimed:
If you don't like the rules at CLC, you don't belong
here. (Might I add that Pastor Lawson-who is no
longer with the CLC "family"-spoke out against
traditional CLC. The discussion topic this time was
"Survival"-if CLC doesn't hustle the buck from the
Church, she won't survive. This question of survival
was directed at said Pastor. His answer-well, then,
maybe CLC shouldn't survive.)
Even after Roger left, the Proehl's (where he
stayed for a few days while he was "tying up some
loose ends") were called by various staff and admin-
istrators asking if Roger was staying there, and
was this a permanent arrangement. One day while
there he made a phone call from their residence.
(He had previously asked the Proehl's permission
and said he would reimburse them for the call.)
The operator quickly informed the administration
that Roger was making calls from the Proehl's
apartment. Roger was immediately called and ques-
tioned about it. He way further told he could not
make calls from the Proehl's residence. That
evening the Proehl's received a call informing
them of Roger's actions.
All of these back stabbing events took place
at our good CHRISTIAN College-by students, faculty,
staff, and administrators. Roger's stay at CLC was
nothing less than one screw job after another-at
good ole California LUTHERAN College!
As you see, the word CHRISTIAN has become a good
mask for many at CLC to hide behind. All you have
to do is wear a smile and say "I'm a Christian", and
then, it doesn't really matter what you do behind
your back — for you are a CHRISTIAN!
There is one thing I question: I dare you to
answer me! How can one administrator, whose "image"
was called into question by the entire campus at
CLC, call into question the "image" of another admin-
istrator??? And when his image was called into
question by the whole school — nothing was done — it's
as if it never happened; but when he questions the
"image" of another administrator. . .he is no longer
with the "family".
(CLC, if you're not busy being born, you're
busy dying! Death will be your plight. That's not
a threat — that's a promise!)
I apologize for those who I either forgot to
expose or didn't know of. I do not apologize to
those I did expose — for if I stepped on your toes
it's only because I had to sit by and watch you
stomp on a friend of mine.
If this article doesn't sound totally objective,
it's because I was personally involved; but if you
think the facts are distorted, just look around.

After all this, it's unfathomable to me why

AN EDITORIAL
Three weeks ago the Thousand Oaks News-Chron-
icle terminated its agreement with the CLC Mount-
clef Echo re printing of the latter. In other
words, we had no printer. The reason for their
decistion to terminate the agreement was that they
didn't want to continue placing themselves in the
position of having to censor us. They were evi-
dently quite upset with some of the content of
recdnt issues of the Echo, especially, political
articles and certain poems.
I was somewhat upset when the News-Chronicae
called me and informed me of their decision to
terminate us. Mostly because they beat me to the
punch. I was about ready to terminate them, and
for the same reasons— I refuse to allow the paper
to be censored (at least without putting up a
fight) . I was also unhappy with the poor quality
of much of the copy given to us after typesetting.
Anyway, there we were, without a printer.
So we started looking.
We have found one. This last issue of the Mount-
clef Echo is being printed by Pacific Printing and
Offset, in Ventura. The price is reasonable, the
people are friendly, and the quality is (I hipe)
good .

normally this quarter, they were suspending publica-

Number 1: The College Council is an advisory body

Therefore, it has no powers of decision-making.
«, N^Su 2: ThS functioning or non-functioning of
S\t JT abS0lutely N0 bearing on the functioning
of the Echo. The only reason there hasn't been a
paper for three weeks is that we hadn't found a pr
printer. The fact that the SPE wasn't meeting had
not affect on anything. Least of all this paper.
Number 3: since a decision to suspend publication
of this paper was made by a body without power on
the basis of a non-existent reason, the Echo has not
■!"d Wl11 not s^pend publication. In other words-
the newspaper you have in your hands IS in hour
hands. r
A word of editorial thanks to the many people who
have helped me this last quarter and a half: Gary,
John, Gene, Kristen, Marilyn, Ray, "Walter, Bill
Dave, Phil (in absentia), Eric, Fresh Air, and last
but not least you, Susan. Also thanks to the many
other people that I may have forgotten to mention
by name, but who did their part to keep the Echo
alive and functioning. Peace be with you all, CLC.

REVOLUTION
--Steve Williams
Read this carefully, and think
long on my words. This scroll will
be sweet as honey in your mouth,
but bitter in your belly. The U-
nited States of America is the most
powerful country in the world. Eco-
nomically, and militarily, we are
Number One.
Practically every country owes us
a great deal of money; and we never
let them forget about it. By making
small efforts to help the economies
06 others, we raise their standard
of living a little and still maintain
the resource of cheap labor. This
lowers the prices of the products
we buy.
I heard from an instructor at
Moorpark College that 80% of the ec-
onomy of Ethiopia depends upon coffee
Sijice we buy that coffee, we control
their economy.
Before Castro took over Cuba, we
bought 50% of their sugar. Their ec-
onomy was totally dependent on the
sugar industry. We stopped buying
their sugar. Their economy was ruiaed.
Then we said: "See what communism
has done to Cuba!"
Today, when we hear that other
countries (even our allies) are a-
fraid of us, or are angry at us, we
wonder wfry . Perhaps it is time for
a change. If we want the problems of
the world solved, we must make the
first move. Our national prominence
must be secondary to world peace.
Since we are first, we must be
first to sacrifice. WE must back down
first on all fronts. We must drop
our weapons first. If we want peace,
WE MUST MAKE IT NOW.
The population is growing faster
and faster. Famine is increasing in
underdeveloped nations. It will not
be long before we will be the haves
saying to the have-nots: "You have
no bread--so eat cake."
The pollution and waste of our
national resources is increasing. In
order to stop this we must be willing'
to give up many of our modern convien-
iences and luxeries.
The longer we wait to act, the
graver our situation becomes. We
have not yet fully realized how much
work is required . Think of all that
must be done in the world today. Next
consider what our national, industrial,
and social priorities are. We have done
so little, because we have cared too
little to do anything.
Vlt WPOINT
The troops are marching in Cambo-
dia, and the people are marching
again in the United States.
Nixan has clearly embarked on a
disastrous policy. This is Lyndon
Johnson. . .vintage 1965. . .a very
bad year. Nixon doesn't want bo be
the first American Peesident to lose
a war. . .he may be the President
who lost the plandt. . .as he has
already lost the young, the black,
and the brown, and the concerned.
Doublethink is with us once a-
gain: War is Peace; Escalation is
Withdrawlal; more deaths mean pro-
tecting American lives.
The fate of Nixon will be the
same as that of Johnson. . .if we
can join together and work to over-
come his poser as President, we can
develop a political force that was
initiated in the spring of 1968 in
the Eugene McCarthy and Robert Ken-
nedy campaigns, and ended indespair
at the Ambassador Hotel and the Con-
rad Hilton.
There will be no Presidential
candidate assassinations in 1970,
no Democratic National Conventions
. . .only a local election. If we
join together, it can lead to a
greater impact on Nixon and the coun-
try than did McCarthy and Kennedy in
68. . .because more people in this
country are not going to be tricked
and lied to any more.
Nixon is vulnerable now. Don't
let him get away with his absurd
policies. Let him have it.
where it hurts the most. . 'in the
upcoming elections.

Will The Messiah come in 1970?
Warner Bros, will offer a nearly definitive answer
in "Let's Get a Close-Up of The Messiah," an
original screenplay by Lee Kalchiem which the
company will film. Kalchiem is now at work on the
script about a Jewish youth from the Bronx who
believes he is "the chosen one" sent to bring
peace to the world.
Kalchiem, a member of the New Dramatists Com-
mittee, is the author of several plays, including
"Match-Play" and "A Party for Divorce," produced
off-Broadway; "An Audible Sigh," presented at the

What's so special
about Special Education ?
Many ihings.
Special Education is teaching children who can't
learn in ways most children learn.
It's using new techniques, new methods and
equipment in building better lives for those who
have physical, mental or emotional problems which
have given them learning handicaps.
It's the special joy of teaching a deaf or
hard-of-hearing child to communicate— a blind or
visually impaired child to read— a mentally retarded
youngster to be self-reliant, or even self-supporting.
Special Education is a profession that is personally
rewarding— and offers professional security because
the need for special educators cannot be met
for many years. Right now, 5 million children
need 300,000 teachers-yet only 70,000
educators are engaged in the profession.
Write today for information about careers in
Special Education, and about the kinds of financial
assistance for those who qualify.

GRADUATION
By JON THOMPSON
"Go away!
There is nothing here for you anymore,
there is nothing here for you."
But I sat down anyway.
At one of the desks standing there,
in rows and columns standing there
at attention,
I sat down anyway between its four walls
And said nothing.
"Go back to the others;
there is nothing here for you."
Beyond the open door,
far beyond in a open patio,
the others,
in black robes and tasseled hats,
smiled pompous smiles,
witless smiles,
at the peacock people
milling -around them.
The peacock people,
feathered and lipsticked,
plucked and windsored,
just flown in from the suburbs,
just crated in from the ranch,
crated and trucked in from the farm,
all coming unseamed from pride,
all coming unseamed from hundreds of cookies
and gallons of coffee,
gallons of creamed and sugared coffee,
all utterly related,
cooing over their little creamed and sugared babies
who did something.
I thought:
I will not.
'There is nothing here for you.
You have enough;
what do you want more?
Go back to the others;
you are no longer welcome here."
The leather folder lay open before me,
the sealed sheepskin rising and falling,
rising and falling in a trace of breeze;
sheepskin god
cooing in boldface Franktur type;
"This is to certify..."
Sheepskin god certifying
that I am ready,
creamed and sugared,
I am palpable,
to take my place,
to be swallowed, up,
in society,
windsored and shaven,
by peacock people.
And beyond the open door,
the others
didn't notice the breeze,
windsored ties tising and falling,
laquered wigs rising and falling,
in the breeze.
I rose and closed the door,
and thought:
I will not.
"What are you doigg?
Get away from that window!
There is nothing more for you here.
What are you doing?
It was comfortable in here!"
The breeze hurried in,
past my face
the breeze hurried over bhe lectern
and into the room,
swirling among the abandoned desks.
The desks standing there,
in rows and columns standingthere
at attention,
gazing at the lectern,
pleading to the lectern;
the desks standing there,
first floor:
books, paper, and supplies;
going up,
gazing at the lectern,
fourth floor:
cookies, coffee, sheepskins;
going down.
In the breeze, the sealed sheepskin,
flapping urgently.
"Go away !
You are a nuisance here how;
there is nothing more for you here.
Go away!"
From the blackboard,
the blackboard from which hundredsoifif facts
had been wiped and changed.
from which hundreds of facts
had been copied and left unchanged,
from the blackboard
I took caalk
and walked to the desk
where the sheepskin flapped
in the full breeze;
and folding it over,
folding it over with the breeze,
I wrote in chalk:
This is to certify
that I
fit into a form
not restricted by itself;
not restricted by myself;
not restricted.
And I wrote it lightly,
in chalk,
so it could be wiped and changed,
wiped and changed .
And the room recognized me
and fell silent.

BIOLOGICAL CONSERVATION
by David W. Ehrenfeld
If you're not too concerned about redwoods, will
you fight for the blue whale? A problem as explos-
ive as biological conservation is a difficult one to
treat. The fact, more often than not, are lost in
the heat of emotional debate. Therefore, we
are particularly enthusiastic about a unique text
that's called, appropriately enough, BIOLOGICAL
CONSERVATION.
Written by David W. Ehrenfeld, it treats the fate
of communities of animals and plants and of individ-
ual species in the modern world in an authoritative,
straightforward and uncompromising manner. His ar-
gument is not that we must "save nature," but rather
that we must see ourselves as part of nature and
learn how to live within it without destroying it.
Several examples of how this thinking hs been suc-
cessfully achieved are given. Such principal topics
as pollution and pollution control, characteristics
of endangered species, population control, manageO
ment of cummunities and species, add the hazards f
of present political, economic and social policies
are presents in a lucid and concise manner which
will stimulate and hold the interest of any con-
cerned reader.
Perhaps the most important aspect of the book
is that Professor Ehrenfeld has positive suggestions
to make about what can actually be doBB. The prob-
lems are clearly drawn and attainable solutions
are indicated. And, when the furor and emotionalism
of the debate ends, that's when conservation
efforts begin.
A RADICAL'S GUIDE TO ECONOMIC REALTTY
--Angus Black
Usually, the most exciting occurance in econom-
ics textbooks publishing is that "you know who"
might be printed upside down in his forty-seventh
edition. Now, fortunately, there's more to be ex-
cited about.
A RADICAL'S GUIDE TO ECONOMIC REALITY has made
the scene and economics publishing will never be
the same again. The understanding of real econom-
ic theory is an inevitable outcome from reading
the book, butdon't let that stop you from pick-
ing it up. Professor Angus Black brings his mes-
sage home with such timely items as the Californ-
ia Grape Strike and the economics of drugs (not
the aspirin variety) , told in some of the most
pungent--and funniefet--language never to appear
in a dictionary. It shouldn't stop anyone, either,
to discover that his economics aren't all that
radical. Of course, if you get your jollies from
The Thought of Chairman Mao, maybe you'd better
forget it. But pick up a copy anyway, just for the
heck of if. Thumb through "Big Business or Screw
the Customer and Full Speed Ahead." Hop over a
couple of pages to "Hope for Dope." Then, on to
"Higher Education or Robin Hood Freaks Out." If,
by then, you aren't interested enough to read on
to "Why Can't I be a Rainmaker, Too?" (Chapter 14),
perhaps you'd really be happier at Peking Univer-
sity, anyway. But since you may have to take Eco 1
to graduate, why not mkke the very best of marginil
analysis, maximization, scarcity, general equilib-
rium, supply and demand, and all the rest of that?

GI'S HELP URBAN
COALITION
John W. Gardner gets approximately 400 letters
a month. Some offer advice. Some complain
about urban problems. Some thank him and the
Coalition for the job they're trying to do to solve
some of these problems. Some say the Coalition
is not doing enough.
A letter dated December 18, 1969, from Mon-
terey, Calif., was different from the rest.
"We are a group of servicemen who are deep-
ly concerned about the future of this country,''
it began. Before it ended, two single-spaced,
typewritten pages later, the signers, 10 service-
men from the Defense Language Institute in
Monterey, had put forth a proposal for radical
social change in the United States.
The servicemen, most of whom had assign-
ments for Vietnam duty, proposed that in the
decade of the '70s, individual citizens reallocate
$20 to $50 billion of personal income for pro-
grams of social reform to supplement whatever
the federal government is willing to finance.
They urged that if one-tenth of the nation's
population could be persuaded to tithe 10 per
cent of their income after taxes for the 10-year
period, than $50 billion could be raised.
"In truth, a tithe is not all that much," the
young men wrote in their letter to Gardner. "It
would not mean that we middle-class Americans
would starve or even lead a marginal existence.
It would not mean we would have to interrupt
our careers or change our life styles. It would
only mean that we would have to deny ourselves
some of the luxuries of modern America."
To back up their unusual proposal, the 10 en-
listed men each submitted checks amounting to
10 per cent of their month's pay, made out to
the Urban Coalition. In the letter they empha-
sized they would continue to send one-tenth of
their monthly checks to those organizations that
they felt were working toward the goals they
would like to see achieved through a program
of social reform.
The soldiers envisioned such a program as
having the following effects:
1 . Money would begin to move into de-
pressed areas. This money could help to build
a power base for blacks, browns, and other mi-
nority groups.
2. An atmosphere of hope might replace the
sense of futility they believe now characterizes
the nation's social climate.
3. The cause of social moderation might be
revitalized. The 10 enlisted men believe that the
country is now without clear leadership or direc-
tion. They feel that a decade of personal sacri-
fice by "liberals and social moderates" might
help such elements to regain leadership in the
nation.
In closing, the soldiers wrote:
"Some straightforward and aggressive attack
on the social ills of America must be taken if
we are not to be pronounced incurably sick. We
have had more than enough reports, we have
read more than enough books to realize how
critical the situation is. Somebody has to do
something. Who is it going to be if not us?"
Early this year Gardner visited the soldiers
in Monterey to thank them personally for their
concern and action. At that time he also agreed
to convey their second month's checks to Me-
harry Medical College, a Negro institution in
Nashville, Tenn.
Nine of the 1 0 men were studying Vietnamese
at the language school. All are college graduates
and all describe themselves as "social moder-
ates."
Gardner spoke with the group for two hours
and said he would try to assist them in their
objectives.
"It seems to me that when 10 individuals get
together and decide they're going to take 10 per
cent out of their paycheck for something they
believe in, that's something," said Gardner.
"That's really something."

When summer's here
and you're back home
on vacation
what's going to
happen to your
school checking
account with a
balance down to
zero and you not
writing checks for
3 months
or more?
If it's like checking accounts at
most banks, you'll pay a service charge
for nothing, or let it drop and
hassle getting a new one come fall.
At Bank of America you can reduce your
balance to zero during summer vacation
and you won't have to pay a penny's
maintenance charge, or bother with a
monthly statement. When you return to
school, make a deposit the normal way and
your account is ready to go to work again.
Another thing. Since Bank of America has
more branches than any other bank in
California, chances are you'll be able to
transfer the balance in your Bank of America
school branch to the Bank of America
branch in your home town. Just tell your
school branch you want to transfer your bal-
ance to a Bank of America near your summer
address. They'll find the branch that's most
convenient for you and make the transfer so your
account will be ready as soon as you get there.
And that could be nice to know, if you're graduating.
