Centenary Conglomerate

Holiday Monday

Monday, Labor Day, will be a school holi-
day at Centenary this year, so offices will
be closed and classes won't^be held.

The Centenary Library will close during
the day in accord with the all campus Labor
Day holiday announced by President Allen.
It will be open that night from 7 to 11 p.m.
to meet the needs of students returning
from their holiday weekends.

For the benefit of the students who re-
main on campus, the Library will observe its
regular hours during the first two days of
the Labor Day Weekend. Saturday, 1 to 5
p.m., and Sunday, 2 to 10 p.m.

New Profs

If your favorite professor from last semes-
ter has left, don't pout. His replacement
is already at the blackboard, well -qualified
and determined to earn your confidence. In
all, eight new teachers have been placed on
the Centenary payroll. We'll introduce them
in (what else, status watchers?) alphabetical
order!

The new instructor in Theater and Speech, .
stepping into a major role vacated by Miss
Ruth Alexander, is Miss Barbara F. Acker,
who has a B.F.A. from the University of
Texas (1969), and an M.A. from Case Western
Reserve University (1970).

Dr. William J. Ballard is the new director
of the Centenary College Choir, assuming a
'post founded thirty years ago by Dr. A.C.
"Oieesy" Voran. Former director of choral
organizations at Northwestern University in
Illinois, Dr. Ballard founded the profes-
sional Tudor Singers in Chicago.

Centenary's new Associate Professor of
Psychology, Dr. Lewis A. Bettinger, attended
Ohio State University, from which he obtain-
ed his Ph.D. in 1966.

Another new professor is Mr. Rafael de
Acha, who will serve as an Assistant
Professor in the Music Department. Mr. de
Acha received his B.M. in 1970 from the
College Conservatory of Music, and his M.M.
in 1972 from the New England Conservatory
of Music.

Stepping into the History Department
following the death of Dr. Leroy Vogel is
Dr. Edward F. Haas, Jr. Dr. Haas received
his B.A. from Tulane in 1967, and his Ph.D.
from the University of Maryland in 1972.

Former Army Counter-intelligence
specialist Dr. Theodore Kauss is the new
Associate Professor of Education. Dr.
Kauss, who most recently served as a manage-
ment consultant in Chicago, received his
Ph.D. in educational administration from
Northwestern University in Illinois in 1968.
(Maybe he sang in one of Dr. Ballard's
choirs!?)

Dr. Curbelo, too, has left Centenary,
replaced by Dr. Arnold M. Penuel, who
obtained his Ph.D. in 1968 from the
University of Illinois, specializing in
19th and 20th century Spanish literature.
Dr. Penuel spent nearly four years as an
officer in the U.S. Navy.

Finally (in alphabet only), Dr. Jeffrey
T rah an has been hired as the new Assistant
Professor of Physics, and will take on some
duties formerly carried out by Mr. John
Williams, Dr. Trahan, a graduate .of Tulane,
received his Ph.D. at LSU in 1972*.

Dr. Finis A. Crutchfield Jr. is the new
bishop of the Louisiana Conference of the
United Methodist Church, according to
Cecil E. Bland Jr., conference information
director.

His assignment to the Louisiana area
was made last month along with the assign-
ments of three other new bishops within
the South Central Jurisdiction of the
Church.

He succeeds Bishop Aubrey G. Walton
of New Orleans who recently retired as
resident bishop, a position he had filled
since 1960.

Bishop Crutchfield, 55, has been pastor
of Boston Avenue United Methodist Qiurch
in Tulsa, Okla., for the past 12 years!

Gents Decide
Nixon's the One

Students, faculty, staff, and administra-
tion all had their moment in the ballot box
during Fall Registration in a mock election
conducted by student John Roberts . When it
was all over but the shouting, Richard Nbcon
had scored a better than 3 1/2-to-l land-
slide over Democratic challenger George
McGovern .

Nixon pulled in 323 votes, leaving the
Senator 89. Lame -duck Republican Congres-
sman John Schmitz, running as the nominee
of the American (Wallace) Party, did not
attract a single vote.

In a separate balloting, Vice-President
Spiro (Ted) Agnew drew 222 votes to retain
his office, while democrat Shriver garnered
116, leaving Americanite Anderson 8.

Senator McGovern scored best among the
faculty, drawing 46% of their votes, while
he fared poorest with the administration,
picking up just 12% of that tabulation.
Nixon carried both the staff vote (661 of
the three voting) and the student vote,
where he gained 11% among the frosh and 80%
each among the other three classes. Three
hundred and seventy -one students participated.

Over all, the President scored 781 to
McGovern f s 22%. Agnew, meanwhile, was pull-
ing down 64% to Shriver 's 34%, with
Anderson drawing the final 2%.

Thus, at Centenary College of Louisiana,
at least, it would appear that the result
is Nixon . , , now.

Centenary Choice
a Relative Thing?

by Jeff Daiell

It may have been coincidence, sheer
luck, or the natural urge to support one's
family visibly, but of six freshmen and
transfers I interviewed Monday night at
the Get-Together Dance, three had relatives
on campus.

I decided Monday afternoon to discover
why students chose Centenary, and how our
Orientation Program affects their opinions
of our school.

Jeff Pomeroy, who is in the unique posi-
tion of being both a freshman and a trans-
fer student, chose Centenary since his
father lives in Shreveport, and since it
would be inexpensive for him to attend our
College.

Marc Sargent, whose sister, Pam, is a
former CONGLOMERATE Managing Editor, came
to Centenary partially because of Pam and
also because he had visited our campus
previously and liked it.

Freshman Becky Lynch doesn't know why
she came to Centenary, but Cal Smith was
positive in his response. Cal chose the
School of the Sleepy Silver Bayou because
of our basketball program, in order to get
away from home, and due to his having had
a good time during his prior visits to
the campus.

Seventeen -year old Karen Stephenson,
also a freshman, couldn't tell us her
reason(s) for picking Centenary. Glenn
Guerin came here because of his father,
the free tuition, and because Centenary
offered him the best opportunity for his
college career.

As for Orientation, three (Becky, Karen,
and Glenn) comment favorably, while Marc
and Cal expressed dissatisfaction. Jeff,
perhaps wiser in his unusual situation,
abstained from most of the program.

Over 100 students gathered in the band-
shell Monday at 11:30 to discuss visitation.

Students Protest
New Hours

by Carol Bickers
and Jeff Daiell

In an effort to reinstate the Spring 1972
dorm visitation rights, the Student Senate
met at a called meeting on Tuesday to act
on a motion in favor of the open dorm hours
of last semester.

Between 100 and 110 Centenary students
had gathered in the amphitheatre at 11:30,
Monday night (August 28) to formulate
action to protest and alter President Allen's
summer decision to radically reduce dorm
visitation hours.

A petition requesting a return to last
semester's visitation rules (Sunday through
Thursday 12 noon to 12 midnight, Friday and
Saturday 12 noon to 2 a.m. for men, and for
the women 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through
Thursday, 2 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. on Friday
and Saturday) was read and circulated. Then,
a letter, a proposed Senate resolution, was
read.

Although many students were angry and
bitter about what they considered an arbi-
trary action, both tempers and manners were
maintained.

By Tuesday at 6:00 p.m., over 300 students
had signed the petition.

The letter written by five Centenary
students concerning visitation was read to
the Senate by President Rick Clark. (This
same letter appears in this week's issue of
the CONGLOMERATE.) It was also pointed out
at this time by Clark that 90$ of the men
were allowed visitation rights this semester
and 65$ of the women residents were given
the open dorm privileges.

In following President. All en's suggestion
that the students go through the democratic
process in attempting to regain their visi-
tation privileges, the Senate passed the
proposal presented by Sophmore Senator Jeff
Hendricks calling for the reinstatement of
last semester's hours. This proposal states
that:

The Student Senate, being the representa-
tive body of students, endorses the visita-
tion policy utilized in Spring 1972.

Due to a strong need for this visitation ,
as shown by the petition and other means of
communication f the Senate asks that the
visitation hours of Spring Semester 1972 be
reinstated.

The Senate's recommendation will now be
sent to the Student Life Committee for their
approval. If the motion is approved by the
Committee at their Tuesday meeting, it will
then be sent to President Allen.

Facts Trickle In

As of Tuesday afternoon, 750 students had
registered to attend Omtonary College.
There are approximately 25 students who have
pre-arranged late registration, and our

student population could, says Registrar
Dr. Lowrey, hit 800.

Of those, says Dean of Students Eddy
Miller, approximately sixty per cent are
dorm students. That's 415, with 212 women
and 203 men.

Ninety -five students are living in pri-
vate rooms, paying $265 this teim rather
than $200. Forty-two are women and fifty-
three are men.

Orientation saw 227 students (freshmen,
transfers, and readmissees) .

Two hundred and seven automobiles were
registered, and between 400 and 440 meal
tickets will have been issued by the end
of next week.

Library Gets
Bishop's Books

Aubrey G. Walton, Bishop of the Louisi-
ana Area of the United Methodist Church,
1960-1972, has announced plans to give
his library and his personal papers for
his years in the Louisiana bishopric to
Centenary College. When the Bishop
retired in June, he made the first por-
tion of his gift available to the College.
Several Methodist ministers and laymen
in the New Orleans area cooperated in
bringing the thirteen boxes in the initial
gift from the Bishop's office in New
Orleans to Shreveport when th^ attended
the Annual Meeting of the Louisiana
Conference of the United Methodist Church
at Centenary at the beginning of the
summer.

The Library is pleased with the Bishop's
current gift of some 250 books and plans
to make the most important items available
for use within the next few weeks . The
collection includes a number or histories
of Methodism in England and America,
various biographies of John Wesley and
other Methodist leaders, and several long
runs of Methodist periodicals. Many items
date from the eighteenth and early
nineteenth centuries , including the
memoirs and autobiographies of several of
the frontier circuit riders. The collec-
tion will be of special interest to stu-
dents of history and religion.

Bishop Walton, who now resides in
Little Rock, plans to review the remain-
ing portions of his library and personal
records during his retirement and to give
these materials to the Centenary Library
in installments during the next few years.
The result will be a much enriched collec-
tion of Methodist materials, which will
be of great value for research in social
and church history in the United States
and England.

Colours Tonight

Like a soft and gentle summer breeze
warmly sighing over a Texas meadow, The
Colours will float into town Friday night.

The concert will begin at 8 p.m., Fri-
day, September 1st, in the SUB (Student
Union Building). As things stand now,
there will be three segments of forty-
five minutes each.

Heavily tapping the talents of new
composers, The Colours play country,
folk, rock, and pop, bringing a new and
refreshing dimension to each, glorifying
the beauty of the natural things around
us. Too, The Colours flavor their act
with a robust sense of humor.

Susan Swenson, Gordon Parrish, Jim
Ratts, and Marc Parker are all from
Texas, and have been performing profes-
sionally since the Spring of 1971.

There will be no admission change,
and the performance is to be given for
Centenary students only. Come and see
The Colours, and walk away on the wind.

Big Blast Set for
Next Weekend

Fun and games await Centenary students
at the first All-CaWpns Weekend next week
which will be highlighted by the Sept. 8
appearance of rock group Mason Prof fit.

At the special Senate meeting Tuesday,
Rick Clark asked for suggestions for the
event. Clark suggested a possible drag
race for Friday and a couples -only banana
eating contest for Saturday.

In further action, Clyrk noted that he
would appoint someone to organize the
activities for t he All -Campus Weekend.

DR. LEROY VOGEL

Dr. Leroy Vogel, Chairman of the
Department of History and Government,
died on June 23rd of this year. Dr. Vogel,
who began his career with Centenary in
1946, was a former Dean of the College
(1954-1962) before retiring from that
position due to poor health.

Dr. Vogel was a member of the staff
who added distinction to the College.
He had appeared in "Who's Who in America",
and his gallant struggle against the
cancer to which he finally succumbed
so inspired students that he last year
saw the YON00PIN dedicated to him.

Dr. Vogel is survived by his wife,
Betty Garrett Vogel, the new Director
of Financial Aid.

Centenary will miss Dr. Vogel, both
for his professorial and academic
excellence, and for his courage, a tri-
bute to the glory which is humanity's
heritage.

MRS. ROSEMARY EUBANKS

Mrs. F.H. (Rosemary) Eubanks, long-
time Centenary Director of Financial
Aid, died on the 19th of July.

Mrs. Eubanks will be remembered for
her courtesy and skill in the Financial
Aid office, a position fraught with the
ever-present hazard of ruin and animosity,
both of which her efficiency always pre-
vented.

She has been succeeded by Mrs. Betty
Garrett Vogel.

EDITORIAL

Ahoy there, you fat cats! Got four
hundred dollars to spare? Ship a little our
way and we'll put it to good use!

Despite the light approach, this is a
serious plea. The CONGLOMERATE has been
offered a list of 500 high schools visited
the Centenary recruiters in the last few
years, and would like to put the list to use.
The proposal? Simple. For about $400, we
can send the CONGLOMERATE each week to the
libraries at those 500 schools. To accom-
plish what?

Over the summer numerous favorable
comments concerning the CONGLOMERATE fil-
tered back to us from high school students
and teachers . Not to brag, but they seem,
mostly, to like us a lot. For example, the
journalism instructor at one Shreveport high
school has asked to drop by in the next few
weeks with some of his students to let
us show them our procedures and explain our
ideas. When you're having fun putting out
a paper, we believe it all filters out to
the readers .

If a paper is fun, readable , and meaty,
it's remembered . So what would be accom-
plished by sending the CONGLOMERATE to 500
high school libraries? Plenty.

We call it "The CONGLOMERATE Centenary
Softsell Campaign." If we can get the money
in the next couple of weeks, we'll start
sending the papers. No other costs will
eat up the money. Could there be a more
worthy, efficient donation to directly,
immediately aid Centenary? — TIC

REMEMBER OUR RIGHTS!

To the Editor:

Are we not a community where certain
rights must be remembered if the freedom
of students is to be preserved? The whole
controversy over visitation is the basic
question: Do we as persons have the right
of our own living surroundings? To this I
say Yes; and to deny us this right, the
administration is dangerously tampering
with our freedom as students and as human
beings .

Sincerely, a former student,
Mollie Leenhouts

MAKE UP YOUR MIND, CENTENARY

To the Editor:

I am insulted by President Allen f s
decision regarding visitation hours.
His ordering of priorities is wrong in
my opinion; students should come before
parents in such a matter.

Does the college want to treat us as
children, or does it want to foster the
creative development of responsible
individuals?

Mike Marcel 1

OVERCOMING APATHY

To the Editor:

I have just returned this evening from a
meeting of concerned students due to the
new visitation policy. I am very pleased
with and proud of the way the meeting was
conducted, and I feel more went on there than
a few exchanges of ideas and opinions. I
believe we as a student body are sincerely
dealing with this problem and are willing to
put forth a whole-hearted effort to change
the visitation policy back to its original
form.

I am in favor of the change, and I believe
if we keep our present attitudes, there is
a possibility of receiving the change. If
anything, we are showing that the students
of Centenary College are overcoming a serious
case of apathy.

If you want something done, the "doing 11
must start with you first.

Hopefully,
Cindy Yeast

REPREHENSIBLE MOVE

To the Editor:

I am a town student and as such take no
part in dorm life on the Centenary campus,
but I feel that Dr. Allen's recent decision
to revamp dorm visiting hours is reprehensi-
ble. I particularly object to the fact that
this move was made during the summer term.

Sincerely yours,

SHUFFLE
HERE

Once upon a postnoon dreary, while I
studied, sick and weary,

Sneering through a volume of my
textual lore,

Suddenly there came a knocking, as of
someone sharply tocking,

As of knuckles loudly rocking, rocking
hard my dorm room doer.

And the crackling, rustling quaking of
an old green paint job flaking

Scared me, pared me with fantastic horror
never felt before.

•Yes?" I answered, very oddly, although
now my blood ran coldly,

Running now so oddly oldly, oldly to my
very core.

But no answer came then to me, and the
terror knifed right through me;

Afrightened now was I quite sore.

Then the door quite open flew, and I was
struck with fear anew!

For when I saw the doorway view, that view
sent me to the floor.

For a woman there was standing, with lust-
filled eyes she stood there panting,

Waiting till I rose once more.

When I rose she came right for me, with
clawing nails she scratched and tore me,

All her passion she spent for me, for me
she came with scream and roar.

"Why, M I yelled, "this mad desire? Why
burn you with lustful fire?

Get thee gone, you little whore!"

"Nay!" she cried, "do not so send me!
All your love and warmth now lend me!

Do not further rip and rend me, rend me
as a spitted boar!"

" 'Tis not yet three!" I cried aloud,
and I was feeling very proud,

Having brought morals to the fort.

"I could not wait!" she cried in kind,
"I was strapped and in a bind,

A little love I had to find, find right
now, and wait no more!"

Then I punched her, in the face, for I
found her a disgrace,

To seek a kiss at two, not four.

"You're nothing but a tramp, a slut!"
Then I punched her in the gut,

Kneed her jaw to keep it shut, shut so I
would hear no more.

Slowly, without grace, she fell; little
vixen, fiend from Hell!

I had liked my little chore.

Then into my hands I took her, rattled,
racked, and further shook her;

Just as I shrieked, "Sinful hooker!", I
once more tumbled to the floor.

Against my fate I loudly raged -- for she
and I were quite engaged --

To be wed in three days more!

Wretchedly I whined and moaned, grievously
I cried and groaned,

Endless I grief intoned, intoned and cried
and whimpered more.

Had she waited but r til three, the time
approved by each Trustee!

We might have shared our love some more.

But alas, she could not wait, so she met
her wretched fate,

And, in her simple, oaken crate, she
longs for freer days of yore.

METHODIST BACKSLIDING

To the Editor:

Centenary College is one of the better
institutions of higher learning in the South,
and I dare say, also the Nation as a whole.
But any school cannot function smoothly
unless there is a working equilibrium be-
tween all persons connected with the continu-
ing operation of the institution. That is,
namely the students, faculty, administration
and to a somewhat lesser degree, the stu-
dents' parents.

In the past, the cooperation amongst
these different segments of our College ccm-
munity has been fairly smooth. The question
of opposite sex visitation had been raised,
and the problem solved, in previous academic
years . A workable agreement between the
student body and the administration concern-
ing visitation had been reached. Both parties
did not get the exact terns that each wanted,
so the result was last year's limited visita-
tion, a compromise. The compromise proposal
went through the stated channels of communi-
cation of the College and was approved by the
students, faculty, and administration.

So academic year~TU"72 arrives and the
students find themselves back in the position
that had been resolved in the previous year.
Is this not a fallacy of the highest degree?
Must the students of this College petition
their grievances each fall in order to receive
their hard- fought - for privileges that were
instituted in prior semesters? President
Allen's letter of June 22, 1972, to students
and parents was of particular disturbance
to me. I feel that the letter lacked tact
and was loaded with false implications.
Firstly, I do not regard my "living quarters"
on campus as merely a "bedroom." Granted,
there is a bed there, but there are also
desks, chairs, research materials, etc.
In fact, I have more bookcases than beds in
my room, so why not call it a "book and book-
case room?" 1 Ttedroom" is absurd. I feel
that the word "bedroom" was loaded to create
a wrong impression concerning what one's
living quarters are used for.

In closing I would like to ask the
administration if the special committee that
met this summer included parents who are in
favor of visitation, or was the committee
just a polarization of the students for,
and parents against visitation? Centenary
College of Louisiana, 1825, must not allow
itself to stagnate. There is already too
much mediocrity in the world today.

Very Sincerely Yours,
Thomas H. Musselman

SEALED WITH A KISS

To the Editor:

Many Centenary students are disillusioned
with the decisions made this summer concern-
ing the changes of visitation hours. The
sources of this disappointment are manifold:

1. President Allen's action unfortunately
reinstitutes the principle "in loco parentis,"
the belief that the college should serve in
place of parents when the student is at
school .

The Steering Committee of the Role and
Scope Committee commissioned by President
Allen in January of 1970 decided "that the
policy of 'in loco parentis' is outmoded
in our society . It recommends that steps
be taken to abolish those practices and regu-
lations which have been fostered by this
principle. . ." Despite President Allen's
seeming disregard for his committee's recom-
mendation, we students wholeheartedly endorse
the committees 1 advice. Furthermore, the
principle "in loco parentis" undermines a
goal of the college as stated in Gentlemanly
Speaking (latest edition, p. 15):

Social rules and regulations at Centenary
have as their object the development of
students as moral, intelligent, responsible
members of an academic community . . .
(emphasis ours) .

2. Although we favor unlimited visitation
in accord with present dormitory "quiet hour"
regulations, we demand an immediate return to
the successful visitation program of last
year: Women - 2 to 9 p.m., Sunday through
Thursday, and 2 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., Friday
through Saturday. Men - noon to midnight,
Sunday through Thursday, and noon to 2 a.m.,
Friday through Saturday.

Programs at least this sensible are in
effect at other Methodist related colleges
in the South (e.g., Emory, SMU) .

3. We believe the method of gathering
data upon which the President based his
decision is highly suspect. In the spring
of this year President Allen sent a question-
naire to certain parents of dorm students
asking for their preference for which hours
or no hours .

a. It is a fact that not all parents
of dorm students received the questionnaire
of last spring. Therefore, not all parental
opinion was represented.

b. Neither the hours in effect at
the time of the questionnaire nor the cur-
rent hours were mentioned on said question-
naire.

c. It appears that a greater percen-
tage of parents were opposed to visitation
on the questionnaire than there were on the
housing contracts. This is evidenced by
the small number of students who are living
in non-visitation areas.

d. That the decision was reached
in the summer denied a vast majority of
students a voice in the decision -making
process, contrary to the stated college aims
(1971-1972 Catalogue, p. 2):

Students at Centenary . . . enjoy a high
degree of freedom and responsibility in
self-government and in participation in
the governance of the College . . .

e. President Allen's summer commit-
tee to study the school's visitation policies
consisted of 3 students, 3 faculty members
and 3 local parents. It is ludicrous that
these 3 parent representatives were all
opposed to visitation when the results of
President Allen's questionnaire showed

that not all parents were opposed to
visitation.

f. President Allen says: "We have
available recreational facilities and lounges
as well as study areas which are easily
accessible without having to resort to our
bedrooms for such uses." Where are they?
Shall we go to the SUB with its high noise
level from ping pong and pool tables, from
the blaring TV, juke box and radio? Shall
we go to the men's residence hall lobbies,

only to find more noise from TV and washing
machines, as well as people coming and
going. In passing we may mention the
uncomfortable furniture and lack of women's
restroom facilities in the lobby. Shall
we go to the women's residence hall lobbies?
Here we again find noise from the general
movement of people in and out of the dorm.
Even these unsuitable areas beccme inacces-
sible at 10:30 p.m.

g. Furthermore, we find a conflict
between President Allen's concept of a
dormitory roan and the concept of a dormitory
room as expressed in the official publication
Gentlemanly Speaking. The President has said
to our parents that our dorm rooms are merely
"bedrooms"; however, Gentlemanly Speaking
says The residence hall is more than a place
to sleep. It should be the center of activi-
ties for study, personal living, and group
living.

4. Perhaps more than anything else this
decision runs contrary to the tradition of
Centenary College. As an official Student
Senate letter of 30 June 1972 said: in the
past, Centenary students have een treated
as responsible mature young adults, and
they have responded similarly . To subject
these students to more restrictive rules
would be to deny the hard earned progress
which has been made in recent years, and
would be in essence declaring the students
unable to cope with the responsibilities
which have been granted them.

5. More important than all of these,
we hold the right of privacy.

Healing in the Testube

Is there some physically measurable
difference between people who have
mysterious powers of healing and those
who don't?

Sister Justa Smith of Rosary Hill
College, Buffalo, New York, presented
an affirmative answer at a conference
on psychic healing sponsored by the
Association for Humanist Psychology in
San Francisco recently. Sister Justa,
a Franciscan nun who, as she says, has
'Tacked the habit," is first and fore-
most a biochemist. (Ph.D., St. Thomas
Institute for Advanced Studies,
Cincinnati; post doctoral work, U.C.
Berkeley.) She did her Ph.D. work on
the effect of a strong magnetic field
on the activity of trypsin, one of the
enzymes produced by the pancreas to
break down proteins. She took crystal-
line "off the shelf" trypsin, put it
in water in a test tube, and subjected
it to a strong magnetic field. At
fifteen-minute intervals over a period
of two hours, she removed equal portions
of the trypsin solution and tested its
activity in breaking down a protein. She
found that in the presence of a strong
magnetic field the activity of the
enzyme increased steadily. Without the
magnetic field such activity was unchanged.

Meanwhile, at McGill University, Dr.
Bernard Grad had tested the effect of the
healer, Oskar Estabany, on the growth
of plants. Estabany held sealed flasks
of salt water in his hands for a period
of time, and barley seeds watered with
this "treated" water had outgrown barley
seeds watered with ordinary salt water.
Also, similar flasks of salt water held
by depressed psychiatric patients
retarded the growth of barley seeds,

Grad introduced Estabany to Sister
Justa, who decided to see if he had any
effect on trypsin, since she was famil-
iar with the effect of magnetism on

trypsin and since healers and their
patients sometimes talk about feeling
magnetic forces. Sure enough, when
Estabany held flasks of trypsin in his
hands for about an hour and a half and
equal portions of solution were removed
every fifteen minutes , its activity was
seen to increase along a curve similar
to the activity curve produced by the
effects of the strong magnetic field.
However, when Smith tried to measure a
magnetic field between Estabany f s hands,
there was no measurable field. (Of
course, there is in everyone a very
small magnetic field associated with the
very slight electric currents of the
nerves, but she was trying to measure a
much stronger magnetic field such as the
one she had used to produce the activity
curve in the trypsin.)

Sister Justa went on to check other
reputed healers' effects on other enzymes.
She tested three healers with three
enzymes. All three of the healers increased
the activity of trypsin. However all
three decreased the activity of NADP,
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
phosphate. (The nicotinamide part of this
molecule is also called niacin, a B
vitamin.) Smith was interested in this
coenzyme because it figures largely in
the energy cycles of the body: NADP is
needed to release the energy stored in
ATP (adenosine tri- phosphate.) She
thought that the great energy flows that
healers speak of might be correlated with
an increase in NADP activity.

She does not know what to make of the
consistent decrease in NADP activity
effected by the three healers. Physio-
logists suggested to her that too much
NADP activity would be disadvantageous
and even dangerous. (It may be of some
interest that in psychiatric circles,
nicotinamide is thought of as a natural
tranquilizer. It is widely used to
treat schizophrenia and many bad LSD
trips have been safely aborted by massive
doses of about three grams of nicotina-
mide. So a decrease in NADP activity
may be correlated with an increase in
psychic activity.)

The third enzyme tested, amylase,
breaks down starches. Smith took this
enzyme from the healers' own blood, but
in this case there were slight up-and-
down effects, and she decided that the
amylase was not sufficiently purified to
give conclusive results.

These tests were all done with double -
blind controls -- that is, the activities
of the enzymes were tested by technicians
who didn't know which enzymes they were
testing, nor did the technicians giving
the healers the enzymes to hold know which

RESIDENCE HALL PURPOSE

The purpose of the residence hall is to provide comfortable living accom
modations for students while in residence on the Centenary campus. The residence
hall is more than a place to sleep. It should be the center of activities for study,
personal living, and group living. It is expected that each student will make every
effort to cooperate at all times with his fellows in an effort to make conditions
best for all.

enzymes were which. Each was coded in
symbols until the experiment was over, in
order to rule out subtle cueing or even
telepathy as an explanation.

Sister Justa also had Estabany try his
healing activity on trypsin samples whose
activity had been reduced considerably
by exposure to ultraviolet light.
Estabany was able to increase the activity
of this damaged trypsin, and the curve
of this increase was similar to the
curves of the increase of ordinary
trypsin, although in the time that this
experiment went on, the level was not
raised to quite the level of normal
trypsin. Sister Justa thought that if
the experiment were carried on longer
it might reach this level, and this
would be most interesting. Yes, it would.

Design for the Real World

A long time ago I received
an expensive pen and pencil set
as a gift. What made them ex-
pensive, apart from the slim
"aerodynamic shape" which the
accompanying brochure described
at great length, was the pack-
aging. The pen and pencil sat
in a plastic cradle set into a
velvet- like covering. This was
encased in another plastic box
covered with form fitting card-
board and wrapped with paper and
a ribbon. The set generally sells
for $12.50. It wrote about as
well as any 39* ball point
cartridge.

I thought about that pen and
pencil set from time to time.
Why did they bother to style it
with true aerodynamic design
since wind resistance is never
much of a problem to most writers?
Why did they package it so it
occupied nearly ten minutes to
extract the actual pen and pencil
from the packaging?

I found the answer when I
discovered Victor Papanek.
A UNESCO International Design
Expert, he is the author of a
remarkable book entitled Design
For The Real World. Papanek ex-
plodes the American design myth
of an ideal consumer who is a
white, middle income male, age 18
to 25, exactly 6 feet tall weigh-
ing 185 pounds, and in the process
of ignoring the Third World, poor
people, women, the aged, the sick,
the handicapped, the orientals and
the blacks and all the other groups
excluded by this restrictive cove-
nant. In the process, Papanek, by
example, has exploded the myth that
we must consume vast quantities of
materials and energy if we are to
produce goods to meet society*^
needs .

He has, for instance, designed
a radio which can be manufactured
on a cottage industry basis for
9 cents. It is made of a used
juice can, and uses paraffin wax
and a wick as a power source.
The rising heat is converted into
energy sufficient to power this
non-selective receiver. Once the
wax is gone, it can be replaced
by more wax, paper, dried cow dung
or anything else that burns.
While the radio is non-selective
(you can only receive one station) ,
the implications for education in
developing Third World countries
are incredible. Papanek has also
designed a television set that can
be produced for about 8 dollars
and a modular cooling unit for
perishable foods which can be built
for 6 dollars.

But the true point of Papanek f s
book is not how to produce cheaper
gadget ry. It is the fact that he
is doing for design -- the organi-
zation of events into a conceptual
pattern -- what McLuhan did for
communications in Understanding
Media. Papanek 's designs, which
are both logical in terms of human
ecology and feasible in terms of
social conditions, show the prev-
alent American designer's ethic
of "If it sells, great!" to be the
exploitative shuck it really is.
There is, for example, no
earthly reason why a hearing
aid should sell for hundreds
of dollars while a transistor
radio can be had for $3.98.
The only suggest able reason
is that medical products, a
necessity, can be sold at a
very high price, since the
buyer would otherwise be
incapacitated without one.
This seems akin to stealing
pennies out of a blind man's

cup -- only on an aggregate
scale amounting to millions
of dollars by product -orien-
ted corporate Americans .

There are hundreds of
books dealing with some form
of ecology, environment, and
the human condition on the
bookshelves. I've read or
at least glanced at most of
them. This one is the only
book I could truly suggest
everyone would benefit from
reading.

Keep those cards and
letters coming dept.- I'd
like to collect your eco-tac-
tics or ecotage adventures ,
- so I can publish the best in
a future column. You also
might let me in on what's
happening where you live —
what battles are being fought,
and who seems to be winning.
Send your mail to Roger Lubin/
P.O. Box 16402 /San Francisco,
Calif. 94116. I'll try to
answer each letter that I get
and we can turn this column
into a two way communication.

by Taylor Caffery

Editor's Note: Dr. John H. Allen, 49 year
old President of Centenary College, earned
his Ph.D. at Penn State, Southeastern
Louisiana, and Southern Mississippi . The
following conversation was held in his office
during the sunwner, before the current cam-
paign of campus opposition to the dorm
visitation policy had surfaced.

CONGLOMERATE : Dr. Allen, tuition is up.
Enrollment, we're told, is headed down.
Many of the tudents and alumni are
noticeably grouchy. As the Shreveport
Times has askea, what is going on at
Centenary College?

ALLEN: Tuition is up at Centenary, SMU,
Ttilane, Millsaps, Hendrix, almost univer-
sally at independent private colleges and
ir-* ?rsities around the country. What
tuition is charged by public or state
supported institutions is up also. This
reflects economics of the country more
than it does something peculiar to
Centenary. We raised our tuition very
reluctantly. There's always a question
in my mind as to whether you improve
yourself economically by raising tuition
or whether you are fighting a holding
action; and so the administration, the
Board of Trustees, and our financial
advisors, all got together to try to
decide what was best to do about it.

CONGLOMERATE: Was this primarily a board

decision? You told us point-blank at
the end of last semester that tuition
would not go up, that it would stay
where it was.

ALLEN: It's always a board decision, but
the board makes this decision on the
information provided it by me and by
the administration of the' college. So
it isn't a question of having me say
that I am not responsible for it, that
the board did it to us, that the
devil made me do it. What actually hap-
pened was that after saving that we would
not raise tuition, the board asked for a
review of our financial situation, we
gave them a review, and the review from
their point of view clearly indicated
that we should increase tuition. At
that point I found myself really being
more sentimental about not wanting to
raise tuition rather than pragmatic or
practical, and therefore I agreed that
the board was right, and I'm just sorry
that we had to do it.

CONGLOMERATE: Now, granted prices are up
everywhere. This raise in tuition can
easily be viewed as a general college
raise in tuition everywhere, and it's
been covered in the press. Is there a
general decline in college enrollment
that can also be held responsible for our
decline, or are we affected more by LSU
Shreveport, by gripes about the high cost
of Centenary, things like that?

ALLEN: The population base of college-age
people is declining in the country, so the
universe from which you can draw students
is not as large as it once was. Okay,
that's a basic problem for all of us in
higher education. However, 1 think you'll
find this tall that there will be a number
of institutions which will increase in

enrollment. They likely will be state
colleges and universities in various parts
of the country. Also, at the same time,
I think there will be a general stabiliza-
tion or reduction in enrollments in pri-
vate and church -related colleges. There
are going to be a number of state -
supported institutions that don't increase
this year also. Now, what I'm saying is
going to apply in Louisiana as well as
other states. Centenary is in a very deli-
cate situation in terms of enrollment in
that it has never really operated from
much beyond a regional basis for attracting
students, even though we have students here
from thirty or thirty-five states.

CONGLOMERATE: What heights of enrollment have
we reached?

ALLEN: This college, following the Korean
War and into the early sixties, had enrol-
lment increases which are exaggerated sta-
tistically because they include classes
taught at Barksdale. If you look at the
enrollments at Centenary that include only
fulltime residential type students you'll
find that it has been fairly stable for
twenty-five years, more or less what it
is today.

CONGLOMERATE: Next semester we'll probably

have one of the dorms closed.
ALLEN: Right.

CONGLOMERATE: Probably. So can we assume
that enrollment is lower this coming
semester than it has been in recent
history?

ALLEN: It's going to be lower this year
than say 1965 or 64, I forget which vear
it was . . . but one year in the mid
sixties you filled . . .

CONGLOMERATE: The year all the "yankees"
came.

.ALLEN: That's what they tell me. You filled
the dorm for one, maybe two years. Before

ENROLLMENT PROBLEMS..

and since they have not. Also, you know
that there has been a change in attitude
toward what dormitories are for on college
campuses. There's been a continuing
pressure . . .

CONGLOMERATE: Aren't dormitories really just
for sex and drinking?

ALLEN: Must be (laughter). There's much more
interest among students and I think also
parents today in living conditions off-
campus. Now, I 'm a sentimentalist in this
regard. I still believe that the dormitory
is part of the total college education,
even if it's "sex and drinking."

CONGLOMERATE: Well, I think that a campus
community is important, especially at a
college like Centenary. Tnat f s what we
have that LSU-S doesn f t %

ALLEN: Right. It may be, and right here 1*11
speculate that if we somehow had a campus
in which it became a kind of privilege in
which to live in the dormitory we might
find a healthier attitude toward the whole
thing. I have an idea we might even fill
the dorms, because, being human in every-
thing we do, to be told you must live in
the dormitory immediately sets up negative
responses resulting in "I'll figure out
ways to beat that." On the other hand,
required living in dormitories has not
always been true on most campuses. I don't
know about Centenary, but in the dim, dark
past of my own undergraduate days, I recall
going to a college where I was told if
rooms were available I might apply for a
dormitory room, and I fought like crazy
to get in the dormitory. Why? It was
cheaper . . .

CONGLOMERATE: It's not cheaper . . .

ALLEN: And I understand it's not cheaper here
... it was convenient, that's where mv
buddies were, that's where the bull sessions
were, that's where the fun was, that's
where all the campus action was, and so
we all tried very hard to live in the dorm,
and the guys off-campus kept applying
for rooms on -campus . Well, somewhere
back with government mortgages and I don*t
know what else, colleges turned around
and began to say you have to live in the
dorms. Enough of that, but that*s part
of my philosophic and psychological approach
to the question.

I think in the foreseeable future we're
going to see dormitory life diminish as
something that's considered important in
the life of a student, and I regret that,
because I don't think you can get the
same feel for the college experience
living in an apartment or a boarding house,
as you could in a building full of people
like yourself.

CONGLOMERATE: Does a lowered enrolbnent this
coming semester reflect on the recruiting
actions of the past two or three years?
We have a new head of the Admissions
Department -- a lot of people were plainly
unhappy with the old head of the recruiting
department do you expect to see gains in
the next year or so with the two new ex-
students who've been added to the recruit-
ing rolls and the new head?

ALLEN: I'm very excited about our new turn in
recruiting and admissions. I think that
the people in that office today are flexi-
ble, imaginative ... I think they com-
municate with the people that we want to
talk with, and, even as important as that
is , that they communicate with us here in
the family of the college. I'm extremely
optimistic. At the same time I don't
want to put the burden on them, to believe
that somehow, magically, we're going to
uncover a great motherlode of students
out there who 're just itching to come
to Centenary. It's going to be a tough,
hard job to get the message of what is
Centenary and what does it mean and why
is it important for you to attend this
college. That's going to be real tough
work.

CONGLOMERATE: Support for this college

comes from the students and their parents,
from the alumni, from the Shreveport area,
and from churches. Hou has this support
changed over the last few years? Has
there been a noticeable lowering of sup-
port from any of these groups because they
don't like directions Centenary is taking,
they think it's too expensive already,
they've already given enough money?
ALLEN: No, as a matter of fact the income
from gifts -- gifts could come from alums,
from foundations, or from the Shreveport
area that income for the college has
not changed, and that's the problem. It
has not changed very much, it has not
diminished, but at the same time we've
jjad increased costs. So, if we're
receiving the same amount of money from
out friends and supporters as we were
receiving five years ago or ten years
ago, we're not losing ground. And that
is more the case than a loss of donors.
As a matter of fact, donors are the
people who can complain. You know, they
buy their right to complain. Now, we
have had a problem in terms of student
income because beginning what, three,
Four years ago, w* diminished the size
of our student body and that income went
down. But no, I would say our problem
with outside monies, gifts and that sort
of tiling is not that they have stopped
giving, but that we have not increased
the giving.
CDNGLOMERATL : Next is a touchier subject,
Over the summer, Cheesy Voran retired at
the end of the last semester. A new choir
director, Dr. Ballard, was hired. In be-
tween his hiring and Cheesy's retiring
there was a lot of rumor, there was an
article ir^the Shreveport Times saying

Andress was going to get the
job, another article saying that he had
bought a house, he was sure he was going
to get the lob ... and he didn't. The
faculty selection committee and the music
department and the school administration
picked, quite plainly, someone else, a

11 -qualified choir director. Is there
anything that you can say about the hiring
ess that went on. Was Dr. Will Andress
considered? Was there a mistake made?

And, has this little brouhaha hurt us in
terms of support, maybe from people at
First Methodist where Dr. Andress is
choir director?
ALLEN: First, I think there was one major
error made in the process of accepting
Mr. Voran 's retirement and then replacing
him, and the responsibility for that
error is with me, and that is, we took
too long between his announced retirement
and the announcement of his replacement.
There was a kind of vacuum in which it
gave everybody an opportunity to speculate,
to advise, to wonder, to worry, and the
system for which I'm responsible was
responsible for that long delay. Now what
was it? We went through our normal process
of finding out who would be interested in
the position, who were real applicants,
who were qualified applicants, and then
interviewing, checking out recommendations,
and all the red tape you go through to
employ a person to work at Centenary
College.

Part of this took place in the summer
months, which further delayed us because
we would go week to week trying to get
together a committee or trying to get a
response from somebody somewhere who was;
going to write a letter of recommendation.
All of this is my responsibility, and in
retrospect I say to myself I should have
operated more quickly and more decisively
to resolve that, knowing full well that
the question of Cheesy and his replacement
was an emotional thing with a number of
people, it was not just a routine replace-
ment of an assistant professor of sociology.

Yes, Dr. Will Andress was one of the
persons who was interested in the job, he
was one of the persons who was reviewed,
and certainly his credentials were good.
We think that the final choice [as recom-
mended by the various people and groups
on campus who 're supposed to do this sort
of thing) of Dr. Ballard was excellent,
proper, and we're delighted to have hijn,
and I am personally very sorry- that we got
involved in these other things, because
Dr. Andress doesn't deserve all the fuss
that was created over him 'vhether or
not he was treated kindly or unkindly or'
fairly. He's a fine young man and of
course he's music director at the First
Methodist Giurch of which I am a member,
and the music program there has shown
remarkable progress and life since he<s
taken over that full-time iob.

OONGLOMFRATE: Due to the fact that there
were some articles about this in the

I neveport Times while the selection pro-
cess was going on (which articles, by
Jim Montgomery -- who's t^the Alumni
Board -- did intimate that 'something was
wrong) have you received any ..old hand-
shakes or funny stare.s irom people at
First *1ethodist?

AL!^\': (laughter) Not at First Methodist,
hut then maybe I have not been around the
people who might give me the cold stares
or the limp handshakes I don't feel
that the church as an institution or as

DORM VISITATION HOURS

a congregation would have a lasting upset
over something that Centenary College did,
trying to run its affairs as the church
would try to run its affairs. I have
talked to some people there whose opinions
I thought would be valid, and I feel that
though, yes, there are some friends of
Centenary and friends of First Methodist
Church who are disapDointed or maybe even
slightly irritated or angered by this, that
there's no permanent damage. There can't
be permanent damage between the two. We're
too involved in each other's lives. And of
course I think First Methodist Church is
extremely fortunate to have Will as a full-
time music director. There have been no
indications at all, even hinted indications
to me, that anybody from First Methodist
was going to stop supporting Centenary over
this, but I'm prepared to receive my lec-
tures from those who would tell me that I
make lousy decisions.

CONGLOMERATE: Over the summer there was the
choir director selection. Just before the
summer, started the increase in tuition rates
was announced. Also over the summer a
change in dormitory hours was announced, or
I might say pronounced . A number of stu-
dents have complained that consultation
with students about all matters concerning
the college is not as full as it might be,

My own opinion is that students in a
college are at least to be considered
stockholders in a college maybe common
stockholders, but stockholders all the
same. They do pay money, or their parents
pay money on the students' word, I think
that board meeting minutes should be
released to the students, that a financial
statement of the college should be released
to the students, and all stockholders in
the institution. A regular company doesn't
confer with the stockholders every time it
takes any little action, but it does release
a general report on how the company is doing.
I think that at the least a college can do
the same thing with its major interests.
The other things -- whether it wants stu-
dents to help decide in the selection of a
new Director of Whatever -- should be up to
the philosophy of the college. Some colleges
do, same don't.

ALLEN: At this point we're dealing in a matter
of degree or amount of sharing rather than
the principle, because I also feel that
there has to be a realistic sharing of infor-
mation and decision making thoughts between
the stockholders of the college and all the
constituents. So at that point, philosophi-
cally at least, we don't disagree -- we may
not disagree on anything. I think where
most of the problem comes in is the amount
and when and what.

First of all, remember the Board of
Trustees are the so-called owners of the
college, and so as an administrator my
first obligation is to report to them the
business of the college, and then report
to the faculty, the students, and when
whatever constituents we might have", for
instance the church -- whatever interest
it has -- the community, and so forth. Oir
financial situation, c course, is "public/'

in the same sense, as any corporate
financial status is. We give the board
a published audit each year done by an
independent auditing firm, as would
Standard Oil. We. also have to submit to
the board each year a proposed budget which
they approve, disapprove, modify, or change
in any way they wish.

Now these things theoretically are
available to everyone. In fact, we know
that most people never see them because,
as public as they are officially,
unofficially most people tend not to want
to share details of their financial opera-
tions because they tell what professor
X's salary is, how much travel expenses
the English Department may have, and so
on; and these are kinds of things that,
though public, are not considered
something that everybody should talk
about at every tea party.
CONGLOMERATE: A lot of this could be partially
the CONGLOMERATE'S fault, because we
haven't gone out of our way to get any kind
of financial statements into the CONGLOM-
ERATE, which we may very well start trying
to do.

ALLEN: Right. And one place is the audit
report of the outside auditors, which
is a condensation in several pages of
what the college does with its money.
It really is more revealing in whether
or not we are good stewards of the money
that's been given us than anything else,
because here the guys are checking for
our legal positions.

That was about money. But things like
decisions were made upon dormitory hours.
Though we didn't have a town hall meeting
or a forum, we have had a series of forum
like encounters in this for the past
several years, and in the end really what
happens is that the buck finally ends up
on the desk of the president and he has to
make a decision based on all the responses
from all of the people who are interested.

CONGLOMERATE : The letter that went out said
that the people who finally made the
decision -- who I think were the president
and the Board of Trustees -- found that
there was no reason or no rationalization
for having dorm visitation, and that in
spite of this there still would be some
dorm visitation. Now, I wondered when I
read it, if there is no reason -- and it
said quite that, no reason -- for dorm
visitation, why daZ they allow any?

ALLEN: The great compromise. The expressed
reasons for having visitation, all the way
from unlimited to various limited forms,
usually covered ideas like, "It's easier
to study," or 'My friends and I can study
together,'* or, "There's no place to go
for social encounters for visiting or
simply being in a small social situation,"
or, "It's my home, why can't I invite
someone to drop by or come in" -- I think,
generally, I have covered it.

The college's response # is, as we put
in the letter, that there are study areas
available outside, though one's room should
be one's own study place too, I suppose.

But it's not like a home in the sense that
it really is a bedroom, as a bedroom isn't
a home. The lounge or the lobby of the
dormitory is the living room. There are
kitchens.

CONGLOMERATE: It's also Grand Central Station.

ALLEN: Grand Central Station, right, because
the family is so large. And in reviewing
it, in recognizing and agreeing that pro-
visions were made deliberately archi-
tecturally -- for all of these functions
in the dormitories, libraries, and other
buildings, then the statement was made,
properly, that other provisions have been
made for these activities. At the same
time, you have to be realistic and say
there may be times when somebody simply
wants to have visitors in that private
room which is called the bedroom or one's
own room. So we compromised in such a
way that one member of the faculty or
administration told me, "Now you have a
solution which will make everybody, on
both sides of the question, equally
unhappy. "

CONGLOMERATE : (Laughter) Is it true that
Rotary Hall will be closed because there
aren't enough people to be in it?

ALLEN: Partially.

OONGLCMERATE: If opening it partially is
a possible solution but maybe an expensive
solution, might it not be cheaper, if the ■
girls' population is down as much as the
boys' population, to take one of the dorms,
say Sexton or Hardin, and make the bottom
floor a girls' floor, the top floor a boys'
floor, or the other way around, and put
the people who don't want to be in tne
bigger dorms into a dorm of both male and
female population?

ALLEN: All of these possibilities have been
discussed . . .

CONGLOMERATE: Would it be cheaper to do
that?

ALLEN: It might. Now, at this point, as of
today (and it may not be true in the spring,
or it may not be true next fall) , but as
of now, frankly, what we've worked out we
think is the most economic. We're looking
at the gas bill, the electric bill, the
water bills. But it certainly is not
beyond the realm of possibility, and
certainly we have considered, purely from
an economic point of view, the prospect of
having different floors for the different
sexes to accomodate a real economic need
in housing. We'll never stop reviewing
this.

OONGLCMERATE: A few short questions. Miss
A's gone. Is the Forensic Tournament also
gone?

ALLEN: As of now, it's up in the air. With
her gone, it is not to be, unless we find
amongst the people who are left, and the
new person who comes in to replace her,
the interest. I think the interest is
there, but I'm not putting pressure on
anybody, because this is a big voluntary
thing that she did, except that I have
continued to express interest in it.
I did pressure her a little bit, I think,
the last time she did it. I think it's

THE CONGLOMERATE

THIEVERY, UNCUT GRASS

an excellent activity on the campus. I f m
sitting still waiting for September and
that faculty and that department to get
together and to lay out what they can do
in the coming year, and I hope that they
will be able to work on a Forensic
Tournament, if only a small one.

CONGLOMERATE : There are a few other people
gone. Mr. Arrington's gone, replaced
by Mr. Stevens. Mrs. Russell has left,
retired, replaced by Dr. Lowery of the
Chemistry Department, and also the former
head of the Admissions Department, Mr.
Schultz is gone, replaced by Warren
Levingston. Quite a turnover from the
last semester. I've heard that Bob Holla-
day has officially said that he's going
to retire or go into another business.
Is that true?

ALLEN: This is true. As of yesterday, Mr.
Holladay submitted his resignation. He's
going back into the insurance business,
and for the time being we are going to
absorb the duties of that office into the
general Development Office activities
because we have a very active alumnus in
Mr. Watson, and we will probably after
careful thinking and checking, partic-
ularly with the alumni, replace
Mr. Holladay.

CONGLOMERATE: Is it true that Dr. Will
Andress has been offered the position?

ALLEN: (Laughter) I haven't heard about
it.

CONGLOMERATE: Another matter is campus
insurance policies. When students come
to Centenary, they're given a small amount
of insurance to cover accidents, things
like that, but they've never been given
an actual policy. Is there any chance
that we will eventually be given actual
policies, or something from the company
other than a folder?

ALLEN: I don't know. That's news. I would
say that what we need to do is talk to the
comptroller about that. That's right, I
know now what you're talking about, just
that little two-fold brochure. I don't
know. There should be, though. They
should have some kind of a policy type
document that they could issue. You got
me.

CONGLOMERATE: Over the sunmer there's been
a lot of thievery on campus. A TV stolen
out of one of the dorms , James Dorm was
"trashed" as we say, curtains ripped down,
eggs thrown. Linen stolen out of Hardin
Dorm, I believe. The CONGLOMERATE 1 s
enlarger was stolen. Coke machines have
been broken into right and left. Have we
hired the FBI vet, or anybody to come in
and find out what is going on at Centenary
College?

ALLEN: One of my observations is that we 1 re
too open. We have not been security
conscious to a rigourous enough level.
We're a very public location in Shreveport.

CONGLOMERATE: I haven't read any of this, by
the way, in the Shreveport Times '
' 'Burglaries' 1 in the "Records of the Day",
Has any of this been reported to the
police?

ALLEN: Yes, but I don't know how these things
get in the paper. I don't know what gets
on the blotter at the police station, but
not all of them have. Some of them have
not been reported. We have not secured
our buildings satisfactorily. I think
it's extremely easy to get into buildings
around here. I think that internally
we've got to do a better security job, not
just lean on the Shreveport police to
clean up after we lose something. We lose
things like window air conditioners out
of buildings, which sounds to me like one
of the most ridiculous things in the
world, that someone could walk up and
unbolt a window air conditioner.
CONGLOMERATE : Announcements?
ALLEN: We're going to have to start this
year planning for the Sesqui centennial
year of 1975. We'll have a faculty-
student -trustee committee, we'll have
community people. We hope to make 1975
a real big, all year operation. To do that,
we've got to start now, and so this fall
we will appoint committees. It will be
expensive also, so we'll have to find
some support .

Also, the Board of Trustees is going
to have a committee organized this fall
called the Committee on the Future Role
of the College, a rather pontifical sound-
ing thing, but actually very important
in that they want us and them to agree on
what we expect Centenary to be and become
and remain in the next decade, and this
relates to the money, enrollment, program,
the whole thing. Though it won't be from
week-to-week a very exciting thing, over
the long haul this will be one of the most
important things we've done in a long time.
CONGLOMERATE : The grounds. A teacher I had
last semester, here just for the summer,
said that, when he came on campus, the
first thing he noticed was that the
grounds aren't being kept up as well as
they should. He thinks that you can tell
a college's financial status, by how well
it's keeping up the grounds." Is there
any chance we could fool people? Toward
the end of last spring there was a Pomera-
nian Society Day, or some sort thing,
where a lot of teachers went out and
"picked cotton." Do you look forward to
some sort of community effort?
ALLEN: I think the survivors of that day
will probably continue their efforts.
There has been this summer a program of
planned negligence on the campus.
CONGLOMERATE: That wasn't "benign?"
ALLEN: And the thing about it was, we had
limited manpower. We were going to get
into the doimitories, and do this super
cleaning and painting. We committed
all of our personnel to that, and hence
we said, okay, the grounds are going to
suffer, we are making them suffer while
we go into the buildings. Now then, in
the last couple of weeks, we've come
back to the grounds. The result of such
a thing, of course, is that that benign
negligence will have permanent residuals.
Some things won't look good because we

should have been taking care of them, but
it was calculated, and it was economic.

Right, you can tell a college's finan-
cial problems by the looks of its grounds,
but we're going to go back now with
renewed effort and work on the grounds,
because in the first place, most of us
around here are rather grounds -conscious
anyway. We like Centenary because it has
a nice campus, we like the natural look
it has, and so we'll work to keep it. I
get upset because plants die from lack
of water, I complain to Mr. Raney,
and his response is predictable, that
he just can't have a man going around the
campus all the time watering all the
plants. I've got to get him to do some-
thing else. When he says, 'Yes, for a
thousand we can do so and so," then he
puts me in my place.
CONGLOMERATE: One final thing on the choir.
Will the choir keep the same costumes ,
will they keep the same attitudes, will
there be a new choir with a new director?
ALLEN: They'll keep the same costumes,
they'll have the same look. When I
interviewed the men who were being
considered for the position, one of
the points that I was so emphatic
about was that we must maintain the
look, the visibility, of the Centenary
College Choir. They all understood
it, and Dr. Ballard understands it and
endorses it. So that will remain.
CONGLOMERATE: And I understand that Dr.
Voran is going to continue to be hired
by Centenary on a part-time basis as
a choir advisor. He'll keep his old
office and raise money?
ALLEN: He indicates that he probably will
not stay in that office, but that would
be for him to decide, if he wants to.
And yes, his title is Advisor on Choral
Music, or some other word like that,
and he's a part-time employee. Of course,
actually what he will be doing is devel-
opment -- helping to get support for the
choir.

There's a second half to your question.
Dr. Ballard will be doing whatever kinds
of things are peculiar and particular to
him, and so you will see some new things
or hear some new music or have some new
experiences as a result of his being the
director.

CONGLOMERATE: What about the cafeteria? Will

it stay with Catering Management?
ALLEN: Catering Management won the contract
over one other hard bidder and two other
interested ones. We're putting in a sound
system in the cafeteria, which I hope will
soothe us.

CONGLOMERATE: With Grand Punk Railroad?
ALLEN: (Laughter) Right. And there's going
to be a new salad bar in the dining room
rather than the line, which we hope will
speed up your ability to go through. We
had tried to work out a system to move
the beverage area out, because that's
a real bottleneck, but were not able, at
least this year, to get a beverage
dispensing setup away from the food line.

College Voter Registration

*76e 'Pouten cutd *i¥ocul fo (fat *)t

A student attending college in
New Jersey can walk up to his lo-
cal election administrator, state
his name and his desire to regis-
ter in his college town, and be-
come a registered voter.

This action doesn't appear
extraordinary, but more than one
and a half million college stud-
ents , including those at Centen-
ary, still lack the option of
registering from their campus
addresses. And, despite favor-
able court decisions and attor-
ney-general opinions in more
than forty States in the past
year, some of the students in
these States must submit to ar-
bitrary questioning from local
election officials. The result
may be the loss of their vote in
that particular college town.

According to the National
Movement for the Student Vote,
only New Jersey, because of a
State Supreme Court decision
handed down on July 14, 197:,
specifically includes all stud-
ents as potential registrants in
their college communities and
virtually eliminates all op-
portunities for administrative
abuse by local election officials.
The New Jersey decision is the most
far-reaching yet rendered con-
cerning the right of students to
campus registration.

In Shreveport, Caddo Parish
Registrar U. Charles Mitchell told
the CONGLOMERATE Tuesday that
Louisiana laws do not permit New
Jersey Style registration. This
means that , because there are no
on -campus registration programs,
unregistered students should
check immediatelv with the
Caddo Registrar of Voters to
check on their eligibility for
joining the local voter rolls.

Milchell said that "conflicts of
opinions on the laws" have pre-
vented on-campus registration

drives , or any other drives away
from the downtown office.

Registration rolls are closed
for the September 50 Second Pri-
mary election, but students have
until October 7 to register for the
November General Election. Two
important November races will be
those for President, between Nixon
and McGovern, and for U.S. Senator,
with Democrat Bennett Johnston,
independent John McKeithen, and
Republican Ben C. Toledano.

Marshall Lichtenstein , Student
Vote General Counsel, and an at-
torney for the plantiffs in the
New Jersey case, believes the
New Jersey decision to be a land-
mark indicating a trend towards
abolishing old-fashioned and rigid
domicile requirements. Questions
posed by election officials, such
as "Where do you plan to be
buried?" or "Where do you attend
church?" which still can be asked
even in states where "students
are treated equally" are no longer
at the discretion of election of-
ficials in New Jersey.

"Election administrators in
New Jersey cannot interrogate
applicants for registration as
long as the applicant actually
physically resides in that locale,"
says Lichtenstein. "But in other
states, the threat of arbitrary
interrogation hangs over all ap-
plicants. The New Jersey court
has taken a major step by recog-
nizing that the individual , not
the government , is best suited to
decide where his voting interests
lie."

The New Jersey decision names
and includes all students as being
eligible to vote in their college

communities. It specifically
includes those who plan to return
to their previous addresses, those
who plan to remain permanently in
their college communities, those
who plan to obtain employment away
from their previous residences, and
those who are uncertain as to their
future plans .

The Student Vote Organization's
legal department is also supporting
litigation concerning student resi-
dency, durational residency, purg-
ing, mobile registration and
voting .

Once registered, though, a stu-
dent still must take the care to
vote if his political weight is to
be felt. In Caddo Parish,
Registrar Mitchell reports that
only thirty percent of the regis-
tered 102,000 citizens in the
district bothered to vote.

In a statement lending support
to non-partisan voter registration
efforts, President Nixon has
declared the month of September
'Voter Registration Month." Stu-
dents wishing to organize voter
registration attempts in Shreveport
can contact the non-partisan Stu-
dent Vote group at 43 Ivy Street,
S.E. , Washington, D.C.

Ridley M. Whi taker, Executive
Director of the Student Vote,
praised President Nixon for his
efforts. "As Mr. Nixon stated,"
said Whitaker, "voter registration
is a non-partisan endeavor which
must be broadened so that all
citizens, particularly the newly
eligible voters can take part in
the electoral process."

Whitaker was hopeful that the
President would join other poli-
tical leaders in a non-partisan
effort to persuade local election
officials to use their discretion
towards the most effective and
complete means of voter registra-
tion."

Mason Proffit
HereTonight

A probable record for cliches
uttered by an adolescent fe-
male in bellbottoms during a
one-dag rock festival was set
Sunday in Grant Park as Brenda
Davis, 15 of Rogers Park, ex-
claimed "Far out I" 19 times
during the performance of a
band called Mason Proffit.
—CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
Monday, June 29, 1970

Since August of 1969 Mason Proffit has
gone its own way in the music world. Grasp-
ing firmly the roots of country and folk,
they've filtered them through rock. Some-
how, it seems, the music strikes a vibra-
tory chord within the listener, and both
he and the music move in tune.

Centenary students and Shreveporters
alike will have the chance to see this
group Friday night, when Mason Proffit
appears in the Golden Dome.

At 7:45, Axis, a local band, appears.
After they've entertained the audience
with their own unique sounds, they will
turn over the Dome to ;iason Proffit at
8:30.

Centenary students need only their
ID's, and townspeople need pay only $3
to hear this unusual admixture of sound.

So unusual is Mason Proffit, indeed,
that they will not divulge their indivi-
dual names. Whether this is due to strong
group loyalty or fear of a deluge of kinky
fan mail, only they know.

ELECTION LOOMS

Freshman will have a chance to elect
their representatives in the Student
Senate October 9th, when three frosh will
be chosen from among the candidates to
join nine other Senators in serving the
student body.

In order to qualify as a candidate,
a freshman must obtain fifty signatures
of fellowclassmen on a petition, have an
average of 2.0 --- certified by the
Registrar ---and turn this information
into the Senate elections commitee by
4:30 pm, September 29th.

Balloting will be conducted from 8
m the morning till 4 in the afternoon
in the SUB.

For freshmen interested in either
changing or maintaining campus condi-
tions, this is the most fundamental of
all opporutnities.

Art Film Series

A series of art films is scheduled to
appear at Centenary this fall. For the
most part, they will be shown on Wednesday
nights at 8 in the SUB. Features include
Oedipus the King , a complex drama, ana
Phaedra , a foreign film. Details will
be released prior to each film.

The art film series last year was a
large success. Heavy numbers of Cente-
nary students crowded the SUB alone with
tonwspeople for the showings, nd this
term's series should draw a similiar res-
ponse .

MCNamara Exhibit

An exhibit of watercolors , drawings,
and oils by William P. McNamara will
open Sunday, September 10, in the
Library Foyer at Centenary College on
Woodlawn Ave. The exhibit will remain
on display through September 21.

McNamara is a 1969 graduate of
Centenary where he studied art under
Willard Cooper, and received his master's
degree from New Mexico Highlands Univ-
ersity in Las Vegas, New Mexico, in
August of this past year. Many of the
works in the exhibit were done while at
New Mexico Highlands in partial ful-
fillment of the requirements for his
master's degree.

Between the time of his graduation
from Centenary and beginning work towards
his master's degree, he served for two
years as instructor in art at Centenary.

He has exhibited in several local and
regional shows and was the winner of the
Ridgewood Montosorri School Award for
Graphics in the Shreveport Art Show in
1967. While at Centenary, he painted
a portrait of the late Dr. John B.
Entriken, head of the Centenary Chemis-
try Department and presented the painting
to the school in May of 1967. He also
represented Centenary in the South East
College Art Conference in South Carolina
in 1968.

In addition to his achievements in
art while at Centenary, he was a member
of the national honorary fraternity,
Omicron Delta Kappa, and was lis ted' in
Who's Who in American Colleges and
Universities. His name appeared on
the Dean's List and he served as presi-
dent of the Centenary chapter of Kappa Pi
a national art fraternity.

McNamara has just recently returned
from New Mexico, where he was working on
his master's degree, and is planning to
leave at the end of this month for a
one year sojourn in Spain.

Ending the Draft

The Defense Department says that only
those draft registrants of eligible age and
category with Random Selection Numbers of
95 or below will be called into military duty
by the end of this year. Those whose RSN is
above 95 will likely not be called. Accord-
ing to Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird,
about 15,900 men will be conscripted be-'
tween October and New Year, for a 1972 total
of about 50,000.

It is possible, Laird said, that the
JJixon Administration will have achieved
a "zero-draft" situation by the end of the
year, six months before the "legal" authority
to conscript ends. To achieve this and
maintain it, both Laird and President Nixon

Any student interested in building
and/or operating a low-power education-
al radio station on the Centenary College
campus is asked to contact Webb D.
Pomeroy.

Circle Enterprises seeks to D "expound and

According to HEW, the estimated average
tuition and required fee charges per stu-
dent for private undergraduate college was
$1,1649 in 1970-71, and is expected to reach
$2,193 by 1980. The number of high school
graduates, says HEW, has increased from
1,971,000 to 3,036,000 in the past ten years,
a 54% rise, while private college enrollment
has increased only 45%.

Lt. Governor Maddox of Georgia, now
spreading the news of God's love, recent-
ly adjourned the Georgia Senate by asking
a black senator to sing "Dixie". The
legislator, however, gave forth with "We
Shall Overcome". The Lieutenant Governor

Author Adelle Davis, who writes on
nutrition and health, has suggested that
crime is essentially a nutritional problem,
perhaps related to low blood sugar levels.
Also, Ms. Davis says, mental illnesses such
as schizophrenia may be attritutable to
mutritional deficiencies.

Big Blast Postponed

All-Campus Weekend, originally set for
September 8-9, has been rescheduled for
September 22-23. However, the Mason Proffit
rock group will still be appearing in concert
tonight.

Due to the illness of Senate President
Rick Clark it was impossible to make all of
the necessary arrangements for the weekend.
Rather than "throwing the program together"
Clark decided to move the festivities to a
later date. Clark will be in charge of
overseeing the arrangements.

At Tuesday's Senate meeting Clark pro-
posed a tentative itinerary for the future
All-Campus weekend. In addition to the tra-
ditional beer and bicycle race, he also sug-
gested renting a roller rink on Friday night
and having a banana eating contest and tug-
of-war on Saturday. The festivities will be
concluded with the showing of the film "The
Illustrated Man" on Saturday night.

'GO GREEK' AGAIN

by Mary Herrington

Fall Formal Rush 1972 went well for both
rushees and rushers, male and female. On
the whole, operations went smoothly and
the Greek spirit filled the air. Panhellenic
Rush opened with a Panhellenic Double -Dip at
the SUB on Saturday, August 26. All freshmen
and transfer women were required to go and at
least to be subjected to the temptation of
ice cream. The actual formal rush began
Wednesday, August 30, and lasted until Sunday,
September 3, following the standard schedule
of open houses, theme parties, preference
parties, and pledgings. A total
of forty women were entertained at the open
houses but the number decreased to thirty-
four by the time of preference parties. Of
these women, twenty-four were pledged.
Comments about the sorority rush were generally
favorable. Even the usual fault of being
asked the same old questions was not reiterated
as often as usual. The meeting of new people
was the most frequently given compliment, and
the parties, including their length, were
approved by the rushees. The Panhellenic
rules which have been a major complaint were
tapered down this year. The rushees were
simply asked not to discuss Greek matters
with anyone including males (a giant step
away from strict silence) and the rushers
were told to shy away from lengthy conversa-
tions with rushees.

A dinner at Don's Seafood and Steak House
sponsored by the Inter-Fraternity Council was
given on Saturday, August 26, to start the
IFC Formal Rush. Beginning on the same day
as Panhellenic Formal Rush and lasting the
same length of time, the fraternities had
their smokers, preference parties, and
pledgings. Out of the fifty-nine men that
signed up for formal rush, only twenty-six
were pledged. Apparently Open Rush looked
more inviting to the majority of the male
rushees. Those who did pledge were impressed
by the good interfraternal spirit that
prevailed and, as did the female rushees,
enjoyed meeting the new people. However,
the main complaint was the lack of enough
time to get acquainted before having to chose
preferences .

Indications for changes were given as well
as favorable remarks. Female rushees and
rushers were pleased with sorority rush except
for the desire of a more relaxed atmosphere.
But suggestions for improving fraternity formal
rush were given freely by both groups of
males. Some felt that formal rush was a
necessity. It gives rushees and rushers the
opportunity to meet while in Open Rush they
might never encounter each other. Perhaps,
though, by having more time and making a
stricter silence code similar to Panhel lenic 's ,
rules would be beneficial to formal rush. A
total open rush was also proposed with pledg-
ing being postponed until after three or four
weeks of school to allow plenty of time for
getting acquainted.

Thus one more Greek formal rush has occurred
complete with its own set of compliments and
complaints. There is always room for
improvement, and there is always Open R-ish.

Senate Hears
Reports

by Carol Bickers

A hodgepodge of ideas were discussed at
the Student Senate meeting on Tuesday. In
addition to reporting on the status of the
open dorm visitation resolution, the Senate
considered the rescheduling of homecoming and
the question of the lien's Judicial Board.

Earlier in the day the Student Life
Committee had met and had voted to pass on
to the faculty the Senate resolution asking
for the liberalization of open dorm privi-
leges. The committee, composed of faculty,
students, and one trustee (absent), was in-
formed that the next faculty meeting was
scheduled for Sept. 18, but heard Mr. Mark
Dulle, a faculty member, agree to attempt to
call an earlier meeting.

In further action on Tuesday President
Allen and Dean Marsh, at an administrative
council meeting, decided not to schedule
another faculty meeting until October. How-
ever, in order to have a faculty decision on
the open dorm resolution before October,
Senate President Rick Clark pledged that he
vould try to have a faculty meeting scheduled
for an earlier date.

The Senate moved to reschedule homecom- ,
ing for Friday, February 3. It was pointed
out by Clark that the original homecoming
date, as set by the alumni office (Friday,
March 2), would prevent some of Centenary's
alumni from attending the event. Although
Centenary Students will be back at school
only a few days prior to the spring semester
date, the Senate felt that the February 3
scheduling would be more convenient for the
alumni.

Gent Chaplain New Dean

The Right Reverend Iverson B. Noland,
D.D., Bishop of Louisiana, has appointed
Centenary's Episcopal Chaplain, The Rev-
erend Kenneth W. Paul, to be Dean of the
Shreveport Convocation, which includes
I linden and Mansfield.

Father Paul has been the Rector of the
Church of the Holy Cross since May of 1968
and the Episcopal Chaplain at Centenary
since July, 1965. Prior to his election
as Rector of Holy Cross , he was on the
staff of St. Mark's Church, Shreveport, and
taught Religion at St. Vincent's Academy.

The new Dean, who succeeds The Reverend
J. Lawrence Plumley, D. D. , late Rector
of St. Mark ? s was educated at Asbury Col-
lege, Wilmore, Ky., Southern Methodist
University, Dallas, Texas, The University
of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee, Oxford
University, Oxford, England, and The General
Theological Seminary, New York City. He
was ordained to the ministry of the Episco-
pal Church as Decon in Bastrop, Louisi-
ana in 1965 and to the Priesthood in St.
Mark's Churcli, Shreveport, in May of
1966. Prior to his ordination to the
Episcopal Church, the Dean was an ordained
Methodist clergynan. This summer he stu-
died in Canturbury, England with the Arch-
bishop of Canturbury and the Russian Or-
thodox Archbishop of Great Britain and
Ireland.

Dean Paul will continue to serve as
Episcopal Chaplain to Centenary.

It is the responsibility of the Dean,
who is appointed for a term of 3 years , to
preside at the Convocational Meetings and
to convene the Clergy of the Convocation.
The Canons of the Diocese provide that the
Deans of Convocations shall have charge of
the vacant missions in their respective
Convocation; and Deacons in charge of Mis-
sions shall be under the direction of the
Deans; all subject to the approval of the
Bishop. The Deans shall make at least one
annual visit to each Mission Church and may
be invited for toher visitations by each
Parish Church in their Convocations. The
title "The Veiy Reverend" is traditionally
given the Dean.

Coed Dorms at LSU

Coed dormitories are under consideration
by the University and are tentatively set
to open in the fall of 1973, Dr. James W.
Reddoch, vice chancellor for Student Affairs,
at Louisiana State University in Baton
Rouge, said last week.

Reddoch gave the administration's defi-
nition of coed dorms as "two towers, side
by side, one for male students and one for
female students , in which they share a
common public area or lobby."

The definition is also extended to
include one building in which women would
occupy certain floors and men other floors ,
Reddoch said.

The question of a coed dorm has been
discussed at length by the administration,
housing officials and the Committee on
Compus Life," he said.

"Whether or not we will be able to ac-
complish this will in part be determined
by how quickly we can settle the more pres-
sing problem of doing away with rules in
housing and food services that are different
for women and men," Reddoch said.

Reddoch indicated coed arrangements may
lead to housing men and women on both sides
of the campus.

Questions concerning the Men's Judicial
Board also arose at the afternoon meeting.
It was pointed out by Clark that the bylaws
of the Men's Judicial Board were not in com-
plete compliance with the regulations set
forth in the new Senate constitution. Fur-
ther questions also arose over the purpose
of the Judicial Board. At this point Mr.
Millard Jones, faculty adviser to the Sen-
ate, noted that the Student -Faculty Disci-
plinary* Committee was designed to handle
the severe cases or cases on appeal rather
than the minor disputes. He further com-
mented that the "Student -Faculty Disciplin-
ary Committee wants the Student Judicial
Board to handle its own affairs as much as
possible." When no definite conclusion
could be reached on the matter from the ex-
isting information, Sophomore Senator Jeff
Hendricks was appointed to make a check of
the Resident Advisor contracts to determine
if cases should go to the Judicial Board or
the Student -Faculty Disciplinary Committee.

It was also announced at "he meeting
that the Student Activities Calendar would be
published in a few days. Futhermore,
Clark noted that the Admissions Office
was already hard at work on Junior-Senior
Day which will be held on November 3.

Due to the conflicts in class sche-
dules, the Senate has been unable to decide
upon a permanent meeting day. The next
meeting of the Student Senate will be held
on Tuesday, Sept. 12, at 7:00 p.m. in the
Senate Room of the SUB.

THE CONGLOMERATE

September 8, 1972

EDITORIAL

In last week's CONGLOMERATE two sides
of the dorm visitation argument were pre-
sented, although the student letters hea-
vily outweighed President Allen's comments
in his interview . This week, the argu-
ment is carried a few steps forward by
Student Body Treasurer Tom Guerin, who, on
the next page, charges the administration
with "a deliberate attempt to stifle the
democratic processes."

We'd all like some answers, and the
CONGLOMERATE hopes to be able to provide
them next week. Until then, an observa-
tion .

Centenary is a conservative campus.
This was hammered home to me last night
(Wednesday) when my favorite radical
stopped by this office to ask, "If the
students want improved hours, why do they
ask for a moderate proposal? Don't they
recognize the power of unattainable de-
mands?" Ask for more than you want, he
recommended, in order to get what you want.
That's a simple, classic revolutionary (or
just plain bargaining) tactic, but it
requires some forms of misrepresentation
and conspiracy to accomplish. By sticking
to justifiable requests, our students
have displayed their basic trust in the
democratic processes described by Tom
Guerin .

One of the basics of government rests
on the principle that no democracy works
without an informed citizenry . To that
end, the CONGLOMERATE calls on Dr. Allen,
Dean Marsh, and trustees to publicly in-
quire into Tom's charges. Do they have
any factual basis?

The students, too, have a duty to
fulfill in the democratic ideal: they
must know how the system works, in order
to keep it running. Many students, then,
might be interested in learning just which
elected representatives and official bodies
are their most effective agents. Presi-
dent Allen, the Student Senate, and the
faculty are the three well-know power cen-
ters, with most of this power allotted to
Dr. Allen and the trustees , but one major
intermediary is often overlooked — the
Committee on Student Life.

Reorganized this semester as a marriage
of the old Publications and Student Affairs
committees , the Student Life Committee is
the official liaison among faculty, stu-
dents, and the administration . On Tuesday,
as is reported in this issue's senate*
story, the Student Life Committee accepted
last week's senate resolution , and passed
it on to the faculty, giving rise to the
actions described in Tom's letter. The
committee still has strong powers, though,
especially the power to persuade and raise
general hell.

Know, then, that the Chairman is Ro-
bert Ed Taylor, that Rick Clark, Sandy Bo-
gucki , Cindy Yeast, Jeff Hendrix, and Mike
Marcel are the voting student members, and
that the committee meets every other Tuesday

Speaker's Corner

IF NOT THE DORM, THEN

The Administration, in that abundance
of wisdom which apparently comes with
age, position, or authority, has decreed
that our dorm rooms are inferior to other
areas around and about the Campus for the
purpose of cross-gender socialization.

If such is the case, then said areas
should be as accessible to the student as
possible, even if merely for that purpose
and none other. Unfortunately, such is
not the case. And if such is not the case,
then, in order to facilitate the Admini-
stration's view (why did 'whimsy' pop
into my head?), such must be made the
case, and immediately.

Therefore, it is only fair, just,
fitting and proper that, rather than the
current hodge-podge of hours now in effect,
the Library should be open from 7 am to
midnight seven days a week.

The SUB hours, currently ludicrous
not matter the purpose assigned to
that building, should be from 7 am to
2 am, seven days a week.

Dormitory lobbies, in all dorms,
women's as well as men's, must be open
to all students, of whatever sex, twenty-
four hours a day. And, since coeduca-
tional TV-watching is the most stimulating
and vigorous intersex activity considered
permissible for those who are either (1)
single, (1) under 35, or (3) both, then
the television sets in each lobby must be

allowed to operate twenty -four hours a
day.

Since even these areas combined provide
only limited space, there is one last sig-
nificant area for cross -gender socializa-
tion: the campus itself. Accordingly,
any student of either sex must be permitted
to leave his or her dorm at any hour of the
day or night so as to meet any other stu-
dent on the school grounds. And, to as-
sure the privacy which the Administration
apparently thinks is available elsewhere,
all light fixtures not inside a building'
for the purposes of illuminating the in-
sides of that building must be removed.

Only in such a way can Hamilton Hall
justifiably equate "available recreational
facilities and lounges as well as study
areas' 1 with our "center of activities
for study, personal living, and group
living." v

Unless such remedial steps are taken,
and taken immediately, it will become
abundantly clear that Centenary College is
not for everyone. And, while it may be
nice to have a select clientel, how can a
Methodist college expect to attract that
many students for the priesthood?

WEEKLY MAIL

NOT SINCE REYKJAVIK

To the Editor:

I have seen, in my two plus years here at
Centenary, a rather broad range of decisions
made by the various bodies on this campus
from the Student Senate on up through the
President. A number of these decisions have
been excused as miseducated, hasty or dumb
and dismissed from the active consciousness
of those involved with sayings such as
"good ol ? Centenary strikes again." Most
of us in this community are familiar with
President Allen's summer decision on visi-
tation and a large number of students at
heart have expressed their feelings to
the effect that that decision fits the above
described category rather well.

But to get to the point. To those around
here who are rapidly starting to believe
that all decisions being made fit the
aforementioned class, I have a glimmer of •
hope. The Administration has engineered
one of the most beautiful moves since
Reykjavik. In response to student outcry
for a redress of grievances, lr Dad" (as in
Dad and Thad) Allen said to go through the
proper channels. So off we went again.
Senate passed the petition (described in
last week's CONGLOMERATE) , Student Affairs
passed the petition rather readily and the
next stop is to be the Faculty. Although
not always spelled out in the chain of
"proper channels" this body's opinions is
usually solicited in such matters as visita-
tion and the consumption of alcoholic bev-
erages on campus. But I stray again. (You
know, it's quite easy to be led astray on
such a quiet, sleeply little campus.) Dean
Marsh has let the word out that since there
is so little new business since the pre-
orientation faculty conference, there is no
reason for a faculty meeting this month. In
other words, the petition passed this year
by the Student Senate and Student Affairs
will rot till at least the third Monday of
October.

While I applaude the ingenuity of the
Administration, I feel that this move is
a deliberate attempt to stifle the democra-
tic processes by which we are supposedly
trying to live by.

I now ask the faculty of this college
to ask themselves if the right to a speedy
and fair redress of grievances exists on
this campus and whether or not the students
have these rights .

Tom Guerin

JUSTIFICATION

To the Editor:

In the administration's letter to par-
ents, it is stated, "no need has been es-
tablished for dorm visitation'. Might I
suggest that one should demand justification
for denying freedom, rather than for grant -
ting it!

Paul Johnson

CALLING OTTO!

To the Editor:

We in Sexton need help desperately. Where
is Otto the Orkin Man when you really need

him° ,

Even-one expects a few insects in their
rooms, but vou realize the situation is get-
ting out of' hand when vou kill six cockroaches
in one 3-hour period -- all in one room. The
additional experience of having a roach greet
you a cheen- "good morning!" by crawling
over your face is also a bit unnerving.

Can the school do something about this,
or must we adopt the "turn -the -other- cheek"
policy on this matter? We would appreciate
other students' opinions on this, as well
as the school's.

Thank You,

LOVE BOBBY, AMERICA

To the Editor:

Well, the world has a new chess champion.
For the first time in history, no doubt, a
chess champion has evoked world-wide hos-
tility. Why?

Cries of righteous indignation went up
all over the glooe when Bobby Fischer decid-
ed he wanted more money before he opened
play. Is Bobby Fischer -- or Fischer's tal-
ent -- public property, to be turned on and
off at the whim of the masses? What unmit-
igated gall his detractors have, to demand
the right to command a man's very essence
at the snap of their imperious finger!

Derision was hurled at Fischer due to
his insistence on perfect conditions of
play. Ah, that Michaelangelo! Always
insisting on marble rather than pumice!
That von Braun, nit-picking over safety
details before be sends three men into
space! Is Fischer a slave, to be sent in-
to a match without freely contracting the
environment? My God, Caligula, that glad-
iator demands a sword!

Some of his foreign disdainers chose
the chance to spit on America, decrying our
'materialism'. Of course, their angry let-
ters were written on a pen costing three
weeks' wages, since their countries place
other values higher than creature comforts ,
but I'm sure it hurt Mr. Fischer all the
same.

Let's grow up. Psychological masochism
is a perverted, counter -human, and infan-
tile pastime. America has no need to be
ashamed of Bobby Fischer. She can should,
and must be proud of him. For Bobby
Fischer embodies all that once was great
about this land -- a snarling, pugnacious,
and bellicose contention that each man's
life is his own.

Seated upon the chess throne of the
world, Bobby Fischer has found his place.
Let us hope his critics will, as well--
with the thermostat on "High".

THE CONGLOMERATE

September 8, 1972

Drama, Ballet Set

The Genes ians, religious drama group in
residence at the Church of the Holy Cross
(Episcopal) , will present a double-bill as
its first production of the season.

Genes ian Director Robert Lightsey has
selected Darius Leander Swarm's "The Circle
Beyond Fear" for the drama group and Lea
Darwin will present her Darwin Dance Theatre
in a repeat performance of "Miracle of
Pentecost."

"The Circle Beyond Fear" is a drama of
the love that casts out fear. It was first
written for choral speaking but has been
staged several times. In the play Cain typi-
fies all the pride and fear which lead men to
defy God and to destroy their brothers. His
trial, his flight, and his final discovery
of the supporting strength of the circle
surrounding him is portrayed in movement as
well as in words.

The two shews will be presented Wednesday
and Thursday, Sept. 13 and 14, at 8 p.m. in
the chancel of the church, 875 Cotton. No
advance reservations will be taken and tick-
ets will be on sale at the door.

Members of the ballet company are Paula
Ambrico, Anne Berry, Wendy Buchwald, Lynn
Croft, Kim Darwin, Jodie Glorioso, Debra
Hear on, Twyla Lee, Kim Ludlow, Mary Mulkey,
Vicki Murray, Cindy Phillips, Donna Smoot,
and Doug Wilson.

The cast of the drama includes Vicci
Robb, Winnie Kohout, Nancy Spur lock, Janet
Fontenot, Robert Gould, Randy Carter, Scott
Carter (who plays Cain) , and Eddie Matlock.

Miss Spur lock, Mrs. Rohb, and Gould have
appeared in previous Genesian productions
while the others are joining the troupe with
this show.

"The Circle Beyond Fear" was first pre-
sented by office workers at the Inter-Church
Center in New York and was later produced
with a student cast in an outdoor setting at
Union Seminary. It has been played under
Swarm' s direction in India.

Lightsey said he will stage this show in
the style of the Genesian' s "Christ in the
Concrete City" which was presented last
April.

Stage manager for the drama is Ann
Matthews, and Judye Jones and Nancy
Middleton are the costumers.

Miss Darwin choreographed "Miracle of
Pentecost", a modern ballet arranged to music
and the psalms and writings of Pentecost
(Whit) Sunday, for presentation at Holy Cross
last May 28 under the sponsorship of The
Genes ians.

Costumes for the dancers are by Centenary
student Mary Ann Barr and sound production by
former Centenary physics instructor John 0.
Williams.

"The Circle Beyond Fear" has been sched-
uled for presentation during the morning
service on Sept. 17 at Trinity Episcopal
Church in Natchitoches.

The September 13 and 14 production is in
celebration of the church's observance of the
feast of the Holy Cross and subsequent pro-
ductions this season will be in observance of
church feast days.

Thriller Reviewed

by Sam Hill

Currently all America is aswarm with
books detailing the difficult and exact-
ing code of the Mafia. First came Mario
Puzo's The Godfather , followed by the God -
mother , " The Don , Gay Talese's Honor Thy
Father , and others too humorous to mention.

Now a new bombshell has hit the stands,
one that lays bare to the reader a tougher,
more unrelenting, more all -commanding code,
a crde that makes the Oath of the Black
Hand seem frivolous by the juxtaposition
therewith. The book is Gentlemanly Speak -
ing .

Oh, yes, all the classic and time-proven
elements are there . . . but this is no
cheap thriller. Oh, no. This blockbuster
sets it out straight, cold; brutally but
without melodrama.

First it details the hierarchy of the
living institution it protrays. All the
way from the leader, esconced in the bush-
surrounded headquarters, Dr. Allen, to
the capo regime of the youth division, Rick
Clark.

Then it gives the requirements the
group requires of all those who choose
to cast their fates upon the truckbed of
the organization. Step by step it details
the strenuous articles of laws, rattling
out in deadening exactitude the horde
of illicit actions no loyal partisan may
conduct. It even goes fo sar as to list
rules for the "soldiers" quarters.

Gentlemanly Speaking then presents a
picture of the internal politics of the
empire, and, in a horrifying chapter, de-
tails the ritualistic trial of those who
infract the society's rules.

In an effort to relieve the virtually
suffocating tension thus far produced, the
author then gives information on the spec-
trum of benefits the ruling oligarchy pro-
vides for the rank-and-file.

Next comes an expose of all the inter -
anl cliques into which even members of a
tightly-knit cabal will fragment themselves.
The list is virtually interminable, and
one wonders how the society can continue
to function, as atomized as it has become.

As in every organiztion, there are com-
mendations for achievement, and the author
of Gentlemanly Speaking does not fail to
note them.

The tautness of the treatise is then
allowed to collapse as the author deluges
the reader with a seemingly endless col-
lage of insignificant imperatives, instruc-
tions, and nitpicking compiled by members
of the society over the years. The last
section of the book is saved only by the
moving anthem the deeply dedicated legions
to the institution at frequent occasinnc
vocally thrust upon the world in a pride-
ful and loyal display allegiance to their
chosen cabal.

It is on that note that the book ends,
and the reader is left with the impression
of a collection of diverse elements banded
together in common cuase, bearing the hard-
ships and occassionally irrational laws
and ritualism of an overly self-important
hierarchy to share in the benefits of the
organization, one to which they have devoted
many good days of their lives, a sizable
portion of their fortunes, and the essence
of their sacred honor. It is a book worth,
reading if one seeks an understnading of
that peculiar and often inexplicable in-

by Cece Russell

The entire theatre department is
excited about the arrival of a new
instructor, Barbara Acker. Barbara comes
to us after completing one year of
teaching at Prairie View ASM in Texas . ; .
She graduated from the University of Texas,
where she majored in drama, and went on to
receive her masters in theatre at Case

Western Reserve University in Cleveland,
Ohio. Our best wishes are with Barbara as
she begins her first year at Centenary.

The playhouse has had Rick Hamilton,
a very talented actor, as a guest for the
past week. Rick attended Lon Morris Jr.
College and the University of Texas as an
acting major. He has been performing for
the past 7 years with such famous acting
companies as the Oregon Shakespearean Fes
tival, Los Angelos Repertory Company and
the Milwaukee Repertory Company. Rick
will be returning to Milwaukee shortly,
where he will continue to act with the
company there. While at Centenary, Rick
has been lecturing to several classes at
Marjorie Lyons Playhouse. He has been
thrilling students with his reading from
such plays as Bacchae , Henry IV ^ Part I,
Much Ado About Nothing "TuTi us Caesar and
The Glass Menagerie . Not only is Rick a
strong actor, he also has an amazing
ability to relate classical works to con-
temporary situations.

The cast has been annoiTiced for the
first production of the 1972-73 season,
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead .
The parts of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
will be played by Doug Wilson and Joe Al-
lain respectively. Jack Harrington will
portray The Player. Alfred will be played
by Hamp Simmons and the four Tragedians
are George Hancock, Rusty Simmons, Rusty
Vaucher , and Bob Robinson. Brook John-
ston will be seen as Hamlet and Ginger
Heaton as Ophelia. Ken Curry will portray
Claudius and the part of Gertrude will be
played by Barbara Acker. Dan Chris tiaens
will take the part of Polonius. The rest
of the cast consits of Don Belanger as the
soldier, Jeff Hendricks as Horatio, and
Paul Overley, Criss Woodruff, Ann Gremillion,
Wendy Buchwald and Joyce Sellers as Ladies
and courtiers. The production will be
directed by C. L. Holloway.

We need your help! Every Saturday from
9:00 am until noon there will be technical
work .eing done at the playhouse. If you
are interested, come down. Everyone will
be glad to see you.

NEW ORLEANS SOUND

When Charlie Gil let t wrote in The
Sound of the City that New Orleans was
the true home of rock § roll, his point
was probably not grasped by most readers
of his definitive book on rock history.
For it's a sad fact that the legend of
New Orleans has yet to be recognized in
the public mind the way those of other
cities, such as Chicago, Detroit and San
Francisco have, as a unique and influ-
ential blend of sound, style and feeling.
The problem is that the classic New Or-
leans records date from a period preceding
the arrival of the Beatles, and they have
never been reissued to any great extent.
Even with the current upsurge of interest
in rock's past, most rock fans are un-
familiar with the work of New Orleans'
greatest talents.

The New Orleans sound captured R§B
in the early '50s with Fats Domino, Smi-
ley Lewis, Guitar Slim, Shirley § Lee,
and Professor Longhair; took over rock
§ roll a few years later with Huey Smith,
Frankie Ford, Jimmy Clanton, and Clar-
ence "Forgman" Henry. It came back again
in the arly '60s with Irma Thomas, Ernie
K-Doe, Aaron Neville, Lee Dorsey, Allen
Toussaint, Chris Kenner, Benny Spellman,
Barbara George, Jessie Hill, Joe Jones,
..uster Brown and Wilbert Harrison. All
the records by these artists were imbued
v>ith that shuffling n second line" rhythm
peculiar to New Orleans, and a cheery,
laid-back openness that never failed to
infect listeners with the Boogie Disease.
You couldn't not like a New Orleans re-
cord -- it was the perfect goodtime
music.

The New Orleans rock scene dried up
around 1962 due to a complicated web of
legal and financial hassles.. Most of
the musicians involved had grown cyni-
cal of the musci business, but a few of
the lesser-known ones decided to leave
the city in search of greater success.
Harold Battiste, the brilliant black
arranger, went to Los Angelos and made
stars of Sonny fi Cher. Piano player
Mac Rebennack, who had recorded under his
own name for the Ace, Rex and AFO lables
as well as sitting in on many a session
since the mid '50s. followed him and
eventually became known to the new freak
audience as Dr. John, the Night Tripper.

I was never very enthusiastic about
Dr. John's music, which seems like a gross
parody of everybody's witchdoctor stereo-
types about New Orleans' past, raising
up melodramatic Hollywood voodoo images in
order to pander to youth's faddish interest
in the occult. If the New Orleans sound
had to be exploited, I'd have rather seen
some deserving genius like Juey Smith reap
the benfits , but at the same time it
did have that unmistakeable feel: there
was always something gritty and authentic
down there beneath the surface, giving Dr.
John's music a vitality that couldn f t
be denied.

Well, the times have changed, history
is an this year, and on his new album
(Gumbo, Acto 7006) Dr. John takes a look
at his own. His self-penned liner notes,
filled with inaccuracies as they are,
attempt to give an honest picture of
where the music came from, crediting Re
bennack's mentors for every riff, lick and
arrangement .

It opens with "Iko Iko", a song brim-
ming with fantiasies of old New Orleans,
Something about that phrase, "Yockomo
fee-no, an na thing about they city and it
fee-no, an na nay," sums up every thing
about they city and its music. Hyey
"Piano" Smith is represented by five songs,
including "High Blood Pressure," "Jon't
You Just Know It" and "VU Be John

THE CONGLOMERATE
Brown." It will take more than good, inten- ~
tions to convince me that anyone could
ever top Huey Smith on his turf, but
I have to say Dr. John does a more cre-
ditable job than any of the other white
rock § rollers, from P. J. Proby to the
Flamin' Groovies , who have attempted the
same.

More significant is the attention he
gives to some of New Orleans' forgotten
greats, including Earl King, Archibald, and
Professor Longhair. Archibald recorded for
Imperial in the late '40 's and is best
known for his arrangement of the old song
"Stagger Lee." He changed it from a whiney
country blues standard to a rocking R§B
song, and it was his arrangement that
Lloyd Price and others made the charts
with. Dr. John is the first to give
credit where it's due, so that Archibald can
now get at least some belated recompense
for his contribution.

Professor Longhair is long overdue
for recongnition. -Every pianist to come
out of New Orleans acknowledges him as
the father of rock § roll piano; some

September 8, 197?

have called him the greatest living pianist,
others have credited him with inventing
rock § roll as far back as 1936. A forth-
coming album from Atlantic, and perhaps
another from Ace, should help lift his
veil of obscurity, but for the present
Dr. John's version of the classic "Tipi-
tina" is enough to whet the appetite for
more. If the strangely fluid, almost dis-
cordant style used by Dr. John on this tracl
is indeed a faithful recreation of the
original, I can hardly wait to hear the
real thing.

Within the next year, the companies
who hold the rights to most of the clasic
New Orleans recording will be doing mas-
sive reissues, and with the heritage of
that great city once again accessible,
perhaps more interest will be shown the
fine artists still working there. The
music scene is ripe for another breath of
fresh New Orleans air, and if it takes
someone like Dr. John to open the door, who
am I to complain? You owe yourself the
education this album has to offer, and
this is one case where education is fun.

Well, the soft summer breeze on the Texas
meadow came to Centenary Friday and left many
people very satisfied, including myself.

Under the production of Athena, of
Denver, the four-membered group ventured into
Centenary and Shreveport Friday afternoon,
after coming from a concert for students at
.Arkansas State University in Jonesboro.

The whole group was very complimentary of
Shreveport (saying it "wasn't too bad.") and
as well, Centenary. After their first 45
minute performance, they all spoke of the
| warmness of the audience. The group, com-
posed of Susan Swenson, Gordon Parrish,
-7//t Parker, and Jim Patts, became professional
//// about two years ago after playing together
I for several years on the Texas Tech
( at Lubbock.

Their music struck me as a dif feren
type of folk rock group with new ideas. Tb
combination of Peter, Paul, and Mary and /
Crosby, Stills, and Nash (before Young en-
tered the group) type of singing left me '
agape during the entirety of their perform-
iance. The blending of three beautiful voices
/and the clean instrumentation made the group
very entertaining and relaxing to listen to
(Clean is my term used in describing a type
of music that isn't slopped together, but is
separate and clear.)

Reviewing the group as a conglomeration
(ugh) of individuals, it was a new type of
thing to listen to. A cello, which had no
future past the orchestra, was magnificent
in blending in with the accoustical guitars.
The members performed resplendently, were
very much into their music, but rot to the
point of cutting off the audience, with whom
they were very informal. The only mistake
was not having adequate speaker systems,
which did not do as much justice as
system would have done.

There was no hard rock, no ear
just simple, plain, unelectric music — a
necessary change in anyone's listening
habits. I hope that they will consider
coming back again, especially when
no Rush parties and everyone is settled

Microfische?

The Friends of the Centenary College
Library, at their board of trustees meeting
in August, voted to purchase a new microfische
reader for the Library. The President of the
Friends, Bob McKee, and the library staff are
exploring the market to determine the best
reader to buy for the funds available.

Microfische is a new form of microfilm
now being used widely in libraries. It is
typically a four by six inch sheet of film,
on which from forty to one hundred pages of
printed material is reproduced in microsco-
pic form. The advantage of microfische over
roll type microfilm lies in the ease with which
the four by six sheets may be stored in a file
drawer and the facility with which needed
materials may be located. Newsweek i s one of
the popular periodicals that the Library now
receives on microfische..

Students who have used the present micro-
fische reader will welcome the new reader.
Advances in technology have produced better
lighting, better lenses, and better screens,
which will give better image production and
put the old reader in the class of a still
running but not too efficient Model A Ford.

The Friends have also appropriated approxi-
mately $300 to supplement the college book
budget in the purchase of needed books.

There are no fees for these courses.

If vou saw such an ad in a newspaper,
you would probably assume it was a fraud
and not bother to make inquiries. No, I
haven't seen such an ad either, but I've
been reading about just such a school m
the sane, sober words of Shafica Karagulla
in her book, Breakthrough to Creativity
(Devorss, Los Angeles, iyb'/J .

A Turkish-born American, Shafica
Karagulla has advance degrees in medicine
and psychiatry and has done research in
neurosurgery at McGill University. She
was an assistant professor of psychiatry
at the State University of New York's
Downtown Medical Center in Brooklyn when
she was challenged to read a book about
Fdgar Cayce with an open mind. She did so,
and as a result decided to seek out and
study people with unusual mental abili-
ties. Because of her tact and medical
standing she was able to study many very
unusual professional people who prefer
.inonymity, but who because of their strange
ibilities (which Karagulla calls "higher
sense perception" or HSP) are very success-
ful in thei r work.

There are doctors who car. see internal
crgans of their patients (or anyone else)
at will. May doctors (and others] can
see very distinct light bodies or auras
around people. Some of the more adept see
in these aura vortices or funnel-shaped
forms attached to internal organs and
endocrine glands. (This includes not
only the chakras of yogic lore, but several
other vortices.) The reports of these
auras corroborate each other consistently
as to colors, shapes and changes due
to disease. The doctors use their per-
ception of these auras to make accurate
diagnoses; however, naturally enough, they
don't let on to their colleagues or their
patients what they are seeing and thus they
order the standard diagnostic tests. Most
of these doctors were gratified that other
ph>>icians had similar abilities so that
they weren't completely unique. Some
doctors are in telepathic contact with
their patients, so that any time a patient
is in trouble the doctor knews it -- and
knews just what the trouble is. Other
doctors have phenomenal healing ability
which they conceal from their colleauges
and patients, although, of course, they
use it.

But to me the most intriguing part of
this story is the "Dream School." Several
of the people Karagulla studies attend the
visualizing internal organs in the "night
classes. "

The most extensive account is by "Vicky 1
president of an education consulting tirm.
She says that her School dreams (like those
she's been having off and on all her life)
are unlike her ordinary dreams because
things happen in a clear orderly sequence.
Ihere is usually lecture with demonstra-
tions to a dozen or so students from all
over the world. Teachers can demonstrate
principles by bringing into being in mid-
air three -midmensional models that can
change position or size or make any motions

tors.

2. Professional athletes are eligible to
participate in those sports in which they do
not compete professionally.

3. Fraternities are permitted to use active
members and pledges only on their first team.

4. A student may play on only one team in

volleyball and sof-tball- 5.00
Individual sports - (per person) .25

7. The intramural directors and head of
the Physical Education Department will con-
sider any exceptional eligibilities cases.

The directors also announced that in addi-
tion to a Sweepstakes trophy, first place

presentation in May.

these "thought forms" but we may soon be
able to do something like this by project-
ing holograms.) She claims to attend
many science courses at the School and says
she often reads an account in the newspapers
of a scientific discovery that she knows
all about from her dream lectures. The
same people show up in these classes
night after night, but usually she doesn't
know them in the waking state. On one
occassion, however, she noticed an old friend
in the classroom. The next day she called
him up long distance, and it turned out
he could also remember having attended
the night lectures.

Vicky and others seem to have been
going to this School (or "Schools") spon-
taneously, but Vicky also disclosed that
she has a habit of concentrating all her
attention at the top of her head while
awake but relaxed; as a result she sees
"movies of herself all .over the world."
This habit is similar to Vicky's tech-
nique for entering the night classes:
"She relaxed when she went to bed and al-
lowed herself to float in consciousness
■ to the top her head, so that she was
aware only of the top of her head and no
other part of her body." Unwin. '

rules governing lootball competition in the
men's intramural program, as released by the
intramural directors:

out of bounds.

3. Teams are allowed two time-outs per

Cage Outlook Bright, Interest Building, 600 Tickets Sold

The Centenary Gents do not open their
1972- 1 73 basketball season for another
eleven weeks, but already the interest
and anticipation is building for what
could be the finest season in Centenary
history. This interest is evidenced in
the fact that already over 600 season tic-
kets have been sold, without any kind of
campaign drive. The reasons for this op-
timism are manifold: the return of all
five end-of-season starters from last year's
fast -finishing team, the addition of junior
college standout Roosevelt Fuller, the
pick of last year's outstanding freshman
team which posted a 20-4 record, and the
signing of some outstanding freshman
prospects, including 7'0" high school
All-American Robert Parish.

The freshman, who might have an immediate
impact on the Gents this season because of
the new NCAA rules, include Cal Smith, a
6 "7" forward, Wei ton Brookshire, a 6'8"
forward, Barry McLeod, a 6' guard, and Jim
Bonds, a 6' 3" guard, in addition to Parish.
A future article will be devoted to these
freshman recruits in more detail.

Among last year's freshmen, most inter-
ests centers around 6*5" forward Leon John-
son, who led the Gent lets to their sparkling
record with 26.7 points and 15.8 rebounds
per game. Other members off last year's
freshman team vying for varsity experience
this year include forwards Jerry Waugh (17.6
points, 12.6 rebounds) and Rick Jacobs (17.5
points) and a strong group of guards --Stan

Any independents interested in bowling
in the intramural program should contact
John Atchley at 5654 by Tuesday. Form
your cam team and call, or call indivi-
dually. The bowling competition will
occur at Tebbe's Bowlero, Thursdays at
8:30 p.m.

All participants in intramural football
this fall are asked to meet Tuesday in the
Dome at 7:00 p.m. for a briefing and expla-
nation of the rules.

Any boy interested in playing varsity
baseball should contact Coach Sigler in the
Dome immediately. Fall workouts have
already begun!

Any boy interested in running cross-
country should contact Dr. Hansen.

Independents are urged to participate
in intramural football by forming teams.
Rosters must be given to the student direc-
tors by Tuesday night, Sept. 12.

Welker (15.7), Fred Niebrugge (11.6), and
Die Kinkelaar (9.7J. This year's and last
year's freshmen who do not play varsity will
form what should be a very exciting junior
varsity team.

All these new players, notwithstanding,
Coach Larry Little will rely chiefly on re-
turners from last year's 13-12 squad. Eight
lettermen return from that team which won
7 of their last 9 games.

Top returnee is Shreveport's Larry Davis,
a 6 '3" senior who led the Gents in virtually
every category last year. Larry averaged
20.5 points and 8.2 rebounds last season,
both team highs. In his two varsity seasons,
he has sunk 541 of his field goal attempts on
a wide variety of twisting shots near the
basket and long jumpers.

Forwards John Hickerson and James "Skeet-
er" Home also return to give the Gents a
very experienced front line. 6' 5" Hickerson,
a 2 -year letterman from Bossier City, scored'
at 14.0 clip while shooting at over 501 from
the field. 6 '7" Home, of Albany, N.Y. , shot
for an 11.4 average, while grabbing 7.9
rebounds per game.

The starting backcourt from last year re-
turns, led by Seniors Melvin Russell and
Milton "Roadrunner" Home. This duo combined
for about 16 points and 8 assists per game.

Baseball Work Begins

The Centenary Gents began baseball work-
outs Tuesday in preparation for their fall
schedule. The fall work mainly serves as a
time for experimentation and practice for
the spring season. Coach Sigler plans to
get a good look at newcomers to the base-
ball program and also possibly try veterans
at new positions. He welcomes people to
try out for the team. The fall action be-
gins next Thursday with a 4:00 p.m. double-
header against East Texas Baptist at the
Gents' home field. On the 18th, the Gents
host Louisiana College for a 1:00 p.m.
doubleheader. The fall schedule is con-
cluded with two road doubleheaders- -Sept .
22 at ETBC in Marshall and Oct. 2 at Louis-
iana College in Pineville.

Other returnees who will probably see ac-
tion include center Lonnie LeFevre, a 6 ? 8"
senior, who averaged 6.5 points while being
hobbled most of the season with a bad ankle,
6 f 7" senior John Murphy, and 6'0" junior
Dave Deets .

In addition to these returnees. Fuller
should greatly aid the Gent attack. A high
school All-American at Shreveport's Valencia
High School, he has played the last two years
at Henderson County Junior College in the
tough Texas Eastern League. Playing both
forward and guard, he averaged 26 points and
9 rebounds last season.

Working against the Gents ' success is their
usually demanding schedule, which includes
home and home series with teams such as
Houston, Indiana State, and Arkansas State,
plus single games with Arkansas, Texas, and
Arizona State. The Gents also travel to
Hawaii for the two games with the national -
power Rainbows. In addition the Gents will
host the Shreveport Invitational Tournament
which includes SMU, Louisiana Tech, and
Houston Baptist. (A more complete report
on this schedule will appear later in the
CONGLOMERATE . )

All of these factors add up to produce
what should be a most exciting season for
the Gents. Coaches Little and Riley Wallace
have assembled a group which has already
excited the imaginations of the basketball
fans of the area as seen in the high demand
for season tickets at this early date.

Recruiter at Work

NO BRAG, JUST FACT

by Jeff Daiell

Warren Levingston , Centen-
ary's new director of Admis-
sions, is a 36-year-old Cen-
tenary graduate with a Master's
in guidance and Counseling . A
former Methodist minister , he
is beginning his fifth year in
our Admissions department . He
is also, for those of you with
left-over eggs and tomatoes,
the man who hrouqht me to Cen-
tenary . When I requested this
conversation , Mr. Levingston
responded qui ckly--and , obvi-
ously, in the affirmative .

A few years ago, the ABC
television network ran a wes-
tern entitled f The Huns of Will
Sonnett" starring Walter Brennan
in the title role (Will Sonnett,
not the guns) with Dack Rambo
as his grandson. Besides his
disconcerting habit of praying
at the beginning and the end of
each episode, Will also made
frequent use of one particular
phrase: ,r No brag, just fact."

That phrase could be aptly
used to describe the attitude
with which Warren Levingston,
Centenary's new Director of
Admissions, approaches both
prospective Gents and also
current students curious about
what is actually going on in
his office.

His staff includes Ken Wea-
ver, *1ark Mc? furry, and Mary
Ann Garrett, the latter two
being '72 graduates. Mr. Lev-
ingston compares his job to
that of a symphony conductor,
insuring that all members func-
tion so as to produce harmoni-
ously effective results.

The four divide their work
geographically, with the main
emphasis --with certain excep-
tions, on the area within a
300 mile radius of Shreveport.

"That's part of our new ap-
proach," he explained, when I
commented that the areas to
which the four were assigned
left out quite a few States.
'The last couple of years our
philosophy was, look: you don't

Ellen Kearney Tonight

and an established talent who has

have a market in your back yard;
and if we're going to survive,
what you f ve got to do is to get
out and hit the road and cover
as much of the L\ S. as you can."
And that philosophy, he said,
entailed expenses far out of
nrooortion to its return.

The student body basically
comes from within that 300 miles,
and efforts can produce far
greater results inside that
area. The exceptions include
New Jersey, since so many Jer-
seyites must leave the State if
they seek a college career, and
the 'northeast corridor" where
the expense of schools makes
Centenary competitive.

NEW DIRECTIONS
Naturally, a change in com-
mand is associated with a change
in direction. I asked Mr. Lev-
ingston about new directions,
aside, of course, from the new
emphasis on the Shreveport region.
He is embarking on a "Comprehen-
sive Program" to be put into
effect over the next few years --
consisting of several "parts."
One will be to approach poten-
tial students --especially fresh-
men, he noted, since most trans-
fers approach Centenary, rather
than the other way around (I be-
ing an exception, he remembered)
---from every angle from which
they can be approached: each
influence that touches upon a
potential student as he formu-
lates his choice-of -col lege
decision will be utilized: par-
ents , guidance counselors ,
friends, alumni, choice of major,
materials received from the col-
leges who seek them or to whom

THE CONGLOMERATE

September 15, 1972

The Raid Exchange

The panty-raid, a time -honored col-
legiate tradition, returned to Centenary
College Sunday night.

Following a dorm meeting at Cline
Dorm, about two score Gents headed for
Sexton Hall. Several of the more intrepid
infiltrated that establishment searching
for their prizes, only to be ejected by
Cline Dorm-dad Steve Holt.

Next, the women launched a counter-
raid, searching for the masculine
counterpart to the articles the men
were seeking. Following that, the
men struck again. This time, however,
the raid evolved into a discussion of
President Allen's "revolutionary"
change of dorm hours. The students
decided to request the faculty at its
next meeting to seek a change in Dr.
Allen's radical move. That decision
made, the students returned home.

Through it all, a basic atmosphere
of high spirits and general good humor pre-
vailed, including a concerted effort to
helD when one girl fell and hit her head
upon the street outside James Dorm.

Election Looming,
Only Differently

The CONGLOMERATE erred in last week's
article on the Senate elections. Now,
however, the Elections Committee has en-
lightened us, and we herein present the
words of Chairman Barry Williams:

"Elections for Freshmen senators
(one Female and one male) and for junior
female senator will be held on Monday,
October 9th from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. As
necessary, there will be a run-off
election held on Tuesday, October 10th
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

"Rules governing this election re-
quire that for a candidates 1 name to appear
on the ballot, he or she must submit to
Senate Elections Committee no later than
Friday, September 29th at 4:30 p.m., a
petition of at least fcrty signatures
of full-time fellow classmates, a plat-
form and a cert icat ion of a GPA of at
least 2.0. A candidate may turn in a
picture if he wants his picture to appear
in the CONGLOflERATE . Petition forms can
be picked up in the Senate office any-
time.

"A meeting of candidates will be held
on October 2nd to establish campaign
procedures and to clarify any questions
about the election."

At the same time, elections for Cen-
tenary Lady and Gent will be held. No-
minations for these will be taken from
the student body, and anyone can make
such a nomination in the SUB starting
Friday, the 15th of September.

A series of continuing education courses
for persons over sixty years of age will be
offered at Centenary again this year after
a lanse of three years. The special courses,
offered without charge to those over sixty
are sponsored jointly by the Caddo Council'
for the Aging, Inc., and Centenary.

Clark on Enrollment

President Rick Clark announced at
Tuesday's Senate meeting that Centenary
only has 690-710 full -tune students this
semester. Out of this number only
412 students reside on campus.

Clark went on to note that the junior
class was the hardest hit in these en-
rollment figures -it now only has 85
students. In discussing this enroll-
ment situation, Clark noted that since
851 of Centenary's students come from
an eight state Southern area, activites
in these districts will be increased.
Efforts are also being made to launch
an admissions program in New Jersey
where one out of every two students
must go out of state to college due to
the overcrowded educational centers.

Fund for Ovendyke

a group of friends of Dr. W. Darrell
Overdyke, Professor Emeritus of History, are
contributing to the newly organized Overdyke
Library Fund. The goal is to provide an
endowment fund to honor Dr. Overdyke and to
recognize his nearly 40 years as a member
of the faculty and at times librarian of
the college. The funds collected are to
be invested through the college nool cf
small endowments. The earnings each year
are to be used by the Library to purchase
books related to Antebellum and Southern
History, the principle area of Dr. Overdvke's
history interests.

Other friends of Dr. Overdyke who wish
to contribute to the new fund mav send
their gifts to the Library. The' Library
will advise Dr. Overdyke of the receipt of
each gift and provide the donor with an
acknowledgment card. The gifts are tax
deductable for state and federal income
tax purposes.

Senate President Rick Clark leads

Senate discussion during Wednesday
meeting. Subjects included dorm hours.

Senate Questions
Board Legality

At its Tuesday meeting the Senate
again confronted the question of the
legality of the Men's Judicial Board.

According to Section XV of the
Senate By-laws (approved 4-25-72):
The members of the Men's and
Women's Judicial Boards shall
be selected as follows: In
case of a vacancy, nominations
shall be taken from the floor
of the Senate. The representa-
tives shall be voted on by the
Senate .

In agreement with this by-law the
Elections Committee proposed that the
Senate uphold its own by-laws and that
the Judicial Board rewrite its own
constitution to be in compliance.
After this proposal was accepted by
the Senate, Vice-President SanWv Bogucki
asked if the Women's Judicial S)ard was
meeting these requirements. Under the
present guidelines for the Women's
Judicial Board, last year's members
are retained on the Board, with new
members being elected as vacancies
occur. In order to determine the present
status of both Judicial Boards, Sandy
Bogucki and Rick Clark will meet with
the heads of these organizations.

In other Senate action President
Rick Clark noted that on Friday, Octo-
ber 22, the Executive officers of the
SGA will present the visitation reso-
lution to the faculty.

Following his appointment to the
Student -Faculty Disciplinary Commit-
tee Mr. Millard Jones resigned from
his present position as Senate adviser
since he felt that his position on
both organizations would constitute
a conflict of interests. Mr. Wesley
Garvin will new serve as Senate adviser.

Jess Gilbert's petition asking for
the creation of the Centenary Camera
Club was accepted by the Senate. The
organization's petition and constitution
will now be sent to the Student Life
Committee.

Interim at Colorado

Looking for an interim course that
offers fun and excitement as well as
a rewarding educational experience?

The Education Department is
tentatively scheduling an outdoor ed-
ucation interim at Singing River Ranch
in Evergreen, Colorado. If this program
is approved by the Curriculum Committee
at Centenary, students will have an
onportunity to work at this new outdoor
facility for two weeks.

Outdoor education is an innovation
designed to acquaint students with their
natural environment. Centenary stu-
dents who attend this nroposed interim
will primarily be working with fifth
and sixth graders from Denver. In addi-
tion to working as education aides,
participants in the interim program will
have an opportunity to enjoy the ski
slopes of Colorado. Denver is only
35 minutes away from the camp, while it
is a four hour drive to Aspen.

The general fees for the program
are covered in the tuition. However,
students will be expected to provide
their own transportation and to pay a
$45 board fee.

Choir Season Opens

The Centenary Choir begins its concert
season with a performance for advertising
men at the Shreveport Convention Center
this Saturday (tomorrow) at 9:00 p.m.
The Choir will entertain conventioneers
with Bacharach's "What the World Needs
Now is Love," Cole Porter's In the Still
of the Night," "You," and a special ren-
dition of 'Thank Heaven for Little Girls
by the male section. The Choir will be
acconmanied by an orchestra under the
direction of Eddie Kozak.

THE CAFETERIA REPORT

by Sam

One of a host of controversial subjects
at Centenary this year is the expected but
nevertheless painful rise in the cost of
cafeteria food. Lack of information con-
cerning the reasons for the move have in-
creased ill feeling on the part of students.

The two main reasons given by E. J. Wil-
liams, representative of Catering Management
at Centenary, in a recent interview, were
regular inflationary effects and several
planned improvements. Improvements and pro-
jects mentioned by Williams include l)'new
beverage machines to handle the line flow
more efficiently (These, said Williams, have
already increased the rate of people moving
through the lines) ; 2) the piping in of
music to create a more pleasant atmosphere;

3) the continued display of work by the art
students and other interested persons;

4) a salad bar to be placed in the center of
the cafeteria for use at both lunch and din-
ner (The bar, as planned, will contain cold
cuts at lunch along with jello, combination
and potato salads. At dinner, two other
salads will be added) ; 5) a change in cafe-
teria chairs, the type as yet not selected
by Williams though he prefers a one-piece
cnair able to be stacked and sturdier than
those now in the cafeteria.

The special Tuesday night programs, says
Williams, will be continued with the same
menus as last year and, hopefully, a few ad-
ditions .

flill

Williams buys the food for the cafeteria
himself, selecting what he considers the best
meats available from the wholesale stores.
Leftovers, he says, are either re-used, fro-
zen, or thrown away within a 36-hour period.
Usually he doesn't keep food over 24 hours.
According to him, he sees no sense in taking
chances on serving spoiled food.

Williams also composes his own menus,
which the dietician checks each day for color
combinations as well as to see whether there
is a balanced diet offered. Any student,
says Williams, can get a balanced diet if he_
so desires .

Even the improvements planned and put into
effect have created dissension among the stu-
dents . Some for instance are displeased
about the type of music being piped in.
Others consider new cafeteria chairs a need-
less expense.

James Allen, Centenary comptroller, in
another interview, spoke of plans for a com-
mittee to discuss the cafeteria situation in
hones of keeping complaints in control.

If they were not required to have meal
tickets said Allen, few would eat at the
cafeteria; it would be difficult to get
anyone to accept a contract to serve food.
Also, the more students that have meal tic-
kets, the more the fixed costs are divided.
This "have to eat here" provision, he said,
is one of the reasons people always feel
dissatisfied.

ODDS AND ENDS

The Senate has hired a student secretary
to take minutes at meetings , handle corres-
pondence, etc. At first glance this appears
to be a luxury, but questioning of Senate
officers has indicated there is a real need
for secretarial help due to Vice President
Sandy Bogucki's heavy schedule and President
Rick Clark's admitted lack of command over
typewriters . As a step toward solving
similar future problems, one CONGLOMERATE
staffer has suggested , tongue-in-cheek ,
that the Freshman Senatorial candidates
list their typing and shorthand speeds in
their qualifications .

Congratulations to the Student Senate
and designer Pat Norton for the Big Blue
Calendar of the Semester . It looks to be
more accurate and appealing than the trouble-
some one on our Last Page.

This is, of course, Be Kind to the
Senate Week, in honor of the discovery of
the fact that Senate members control the
student votes on the Committee on Student
Life, which has control over the CONGLOMERATE .
Never rankle your boss, gang'.

Finally, a word to everyone active in
the dorm hours fuss: keep a perspective .
There are many more issues to raise a ruckus
about. Look around you. Voters on campus
and off are apathetic , grading systems are
under attack, the Honor Court lacks support,
and so on. Dorm rights, fine, but don't
quit there. You're off to a good start. -TLC

MORT GETS VERSE

To the Editor:

Dr. Allen is my watchdog; I shall not
visit.

He maketh me to lie down in empty dorm
rooms; he babyetli me beside the Shining
Silver Bayou.

He protecteth my morals: he pusheth me
down the paths of righteousness for his
trustess 1 sake.

Yea, though I walk through the lobby of
the den of iniquity, I will fear no evil, for
he is guiding me; his board and his staff
they protect me.

He prepares t a room for me in the absence
of mine ladyfriends: he annointest my head
with condescension; my anger boileth over.

Surely goodness and purity shall follow
me all the days of my Centenary sojourn; and
I will dwell in the house of the menfolk for
ever, and alone.

Mort D. Arthur
MESSAGE FROM DAVID LAWRENCE

To the Editor:

The word intercourse brings to mind
two meanings: Sexual intercourse and
social intercourse. The first, easily
accomplished in two hours is merely
scheduled by President Allen's dorm
hour action: the other is severely
restricted if not prohibited.

David W. Lawrence

WEEKLY MAIL

TO THE FACULTY

To the Faculty:

Our views concerning why last
years ' visitation hours should be
reinstated have been presented
elsewhere. We are certain that our
proposal is justified. A further
point deserves emphasis.

We are having difficulty studying
this semester. Our rights have been
attacked, and we are impelled to
defend them. We have been involved
in mass rallies, committee meeting,
bull sessions, and letter-writing.
These are time-consuming. We would
prefer to read.

Sad it is that we as scholars
must spend our time crusading for
a cause that has already proved
successful. But do this we must.
And do this we shall.

THE LITTLEST CHAPEL

To the Editor:

Items of interest to students and staff:

1. There is a small chapel to the right of
the front entrance to Brown Memorial
Chapel. Individuals are invited to use
the chapel for personal prayer and medi-
tation.

2. This chapel is open from early in the
morning until late into the night.

3. If you need any further information or
experience any difficulty in using the
chapel, please contact me at the Chaplain's
Office, Room 121, Smith Building.

4. Peace and joy galore.

CENTENARY MAKES IT!

To the Editor:

We would like to thank Dr. Allen for exer-
cising his nresidential nowers through the
limitation of ooposite sex visitation within
the dormitories. For the first time in our
college careers the students of tins camnus
are exercising their voices as one. Apathy
has dissinated. TJ^e student union exists

HER PARENTS TAKE A STAND

To the Editor:

It appears to me that in the
present debate over open dorm
visitation one group involved has
been overlooked.

We have heard from President
Allen and the report from his summer
meeting with the parents who disap-
prove of inter-dorm visitation,
and we have heard the voices of
students who almost unanimously
support more liberal dorm hours .

We have not, however, heard from
those parents who were shocked and
angered at the President's decision
to take away previous privileges and
restrict the dorm visitation hours.
I would like to speak now in behalf
of my parents and many others I know
that stand behind the rights of the
students .

My parents feel that college is more
than just a place to receive an educa-
tion. They believe it is an essential
step in my maturing process, a place
where I make my own decisions and begin
to exercise my rights as a young adult.

Because my parents view me as a
mature young adult and treat me accor-
dingly, they resent the college I at-
tend treating me as a child by placing
unnecessary restrictions on my actions.
This denies me the chance to make my
own decisions and this defeats a
main purpose of college life.

Yo President Allen and the Trus-
tees, I say that there are parents who
feel so strongly in moreTTiberal
student rights that they will send
their sons and daughters to other
colleges where they are treated as
adults. Thus, Centenary once again
will lose students.

To the students whose parents stand
behind you, I ask that each of you have
your parents write to President Allen,
as mine have, voicing their opinions
and supporting us as mature young
adults.

CONSPIRACY THEORY

To the Editor:

When it is an exr>ression of the politi-
cal right wing, a lot of us are contemptu-
ous of the conspiracy theory of history.
I should have doubted that Tom Guerin was
at home on that wing, but he doesn't have
any trouble seeing sinister design in ad-
ministrative action, particularly when he
is entirely ignorant of the facts.

He has no idea how far-sighted this ad-
ministration is! We laid the foundation
for this latest piece of diabolism at least
four or five years ago: it has been at
least that long since we have held a
September Faculty meeting. And that, in
turn, was the reason for the answer when
we were asked about the meeting -- with
no indication by the questioner what the
concern was about.

However, as soon as the Committee on
Student Life made its decision, Rick Clark
came to see me about the Faculty meeting;
and I immediately consulted President
Allen about a called special meeting of the
^acuity. He .agreed, and the call went out
within 24 hours. The special meeting is
scheduled for September 22, which, unless
the petition is already over-ripe, is hardly
time enough for it to rot.

Yours very sincerely,
T. N. Marsh
Dean of the College

Tom Guerin replies:

I refuse to let "good ol' Centenary"
strike again.

Right wing, left wing, big deal, but
the thing that provoked me was the fact
that there was not to be a faculty meeting
in September this year, whereas I have
always understood that there was a faculty
meeting each month when school was in ses-
sion. Therefore it appeared that there was
a change taking place.

Now Dean Marsh has stated that the change
actually took place "at least four or five
years ago." He continues by saying that "it
has been at least that long since we have
held a September Faculty meeting ." This
statement did not sit well at all with me,
so I undertook to find out the facts .

After asking three faculty members if
they remembered September Faculty meetings
in the last few years and receiving affirm-

ative answers, I checked further. The re-
sults were as follows:

1. From letter from Marsh to Faculty,
dated 13, 1971: "For the annual reason (the
fall meeting of the Board of Directors of
SCUU) it is necessary to schedule the Sep-
tember meeting of the faculty on the fourth,
rather than the third, Monday. It will be
held at 4:30 p.m., Monday, September 27..."

*2. In September 1970, the faculty met on
September 28.

3. In September 1969, a special, called
meeting was held on September 11; the next
meeting was on October 20.

4. In 1968, the only September meeting
was the P re-Registration Conference on Sep-
tember 6.

I hesitate to say that "he is entirely
ignorant of the facts," because if Dean
Marsh doesn't know what is going on in the
faculty, we're in worse shape than I thought.
But enough on this side issue. Let's get
back to President Allen's right, better yet
justification for his stand.

Yours for a better community ,

Tom Guerin

Editor's Note: That date"13, 1971" is
printed as written in Tom's reply. '

Bean Marsh, after hearing Tom's reply
over the telephone, decided not to under-
take further rebuttal, stating that his
arguments were adequately covered in his
above letter.

MEMO FROM PAM SARGENT

To the Student Life Committee:

The following are many of the reasons
that open visitation is necessary on the
Centenary College campus:

1. Shreveport is not New York: i.e.,
the places where people could go on dates
close relatively early.

2. Most of the aforementioned places
are quite a distance from the campus, and
not everyone has access to a car.

3. Students cannot sit in many areas

of the campus and talk. Such areas as Crumley
Gardens are dangerous to both sexes .

4. The Student Union Building is out as
a prospective gathering spot: it closes at
10:00 p.m. every night, much the same as most
of Shreveport.

5. The Library, too, is out for this and
other reasons. It is, of course, supposed

to be a place of study. It may be that, but
it is also one of the biggest partying places
on campus. There is generally too much noise,
or quiet, for it to be a conversation spot.
It studying is the goal, the Library falls
down here both for its high noise level and the
extremely small number os study rooms.

6. The lobbies of the dorm are general-
ly filled with transient, noisy people, not
to mention televisions and pianos. •

These reasons boil down to the sijnple
fact that on the Centenary campus it is not
really feasible to try to study or talk quiet-
ly, with a modicum of privacy, anywhere else
than in the rooms. And the roan is not just
the "bedroom" as was stated in Dr. Allen's
letter. His own rulebook, Gentlemanly
Speaking , states that the student 's
room is :

'The purpose of the residence hall
is to provide comfortable living ac-
comodations for students while in
residence or the Centenary campus.
The residence hall is more than a
place to sleep . It should be the
center of activities for study , """per -
sonal living, and group living ..."

With that paragraph it seems
that even the College administration
realizes that a student's room is
bedroom, admittedly, but above and
beyond that his study room, sometimes
kitchen, bull session room, record-
listening room, date room, and many
more.

Open visitation is not just a
political issue with the students.
The need is clear for such a policy.
However, it can only work with the
hours which were in effect last semester.
The present 3-5 system is useless:
everything is open, the room is not
in such demand. 3-10 is basically
just as useless. The need is the
evenings throughout the week, when
nothing else is open or accessible.

Considering the above statements,
then, I feel that the heed for this
policy is quite clear, and petition
that those in position to re-institute
last semester's hour do so.

Respectfully submitted,
Pam Sargent

MISSIVE FROM RICK CLARK

Presented to Committee on Student Life:
The Need:

There is no place to go on campus
to interact socially with members of
the opposite sex, after 10:30 p.m.
To Supnort Our Need:
A petition with over 350 names .
Emory and SfU (both Methodist)
have open visitation.

The students are very offended at
Dr. Allen's choice of words in his
summer letter.

The visitation hours of last- spring
were apparently workable - as per Dean
Miller, there was only 5-6 cases of a
violation.

On the housing contract, 901 of
the male students » parents approved
visitation; female, 651 (majority
freshmen) .
Dr. Allen, in changing the hours,
was working to please a constituency,
the parents. His parents' hours make
for happy parents and unhappy students!
Soon, we have no students.

THAT DORM CONTROVERSY

Dear Teachers :

Why should there be opposite sex visitation
in the dormitories? The answer is simple;
people learn from people.

I can honestly say that the most exciting
and productive moments of my college career
have been in small private groups gathered
outside the classroom.

Any good professor (and Centenary has many)
knows that his job is to arouse and stimulate,
not just to teach. A properly guided and re-
sponsible student works outside of class read-
ing materials and talking with other students
to gain new ideas and concepts. In any small
group of students there may be people of
different races, different nationalities, and
different sexes .

Unfortunately, existing facilities such as
public lobbies, wet grass, and local bar
lounges seldom stimulate the intellectual mind.
A much more suitable place is the dorm room
(combination sitting, study, and bed room).
This room is well-lighted, quiet, comfortable,
and semi -private. It affords the students
a conducive atmosphere to relate to one
another in natural home-like surroundings.

After four short years the student must
return to the "outside world" and assume an
enlightened and responsible position in
society. During the learning experience of
college a student must learn responsibility;
responsibility learned from trust.

What good is a Centenary degree if the
graduate does not have responsibility?

Gentlemanly Speaking says it another way
on page 29:

Centenary College is dedicated to the
proposition that personal responsibil-
ity is one of several characteristics
necessary to a college learning
experience.
Therefore teachers, trust the students and
return an important educational tool. Supbort
dorm visitation.

Paul D. Giessen

WHERE'D THE FREEDOM GO?

To the Editor:

Last year I visited Centenary on
the invitation of the adnissions office.
The school impressed me as being old,
established, and rather scholarly, but
yet free, responsive to students, and
slightly progressive. These were
the reasons I chose to come to Cen-
tenary. But a surwner has passed since
my visit, and I have arrived to find
Centenary not the Centenary I visited.
Still old, established and scholarly,
Centenary seems to have lost its en-'
ticing aura of freedom and progressive-
ness. I seriously doubt that establish-
ment and scholasticism only are as
effective a drawing card for new stu-
dents as they would be combined with
the fresh breeze of freedom that blew
around this campus last year.

John Wigjjin, Jr.

From Page One

they write, pastors, all play a part in a
students' decision, he said.

"We hope to find all those points
of natural contact that a student has
with a school like Centenary," especial-
ly since the former main method —
contact through the secondary school
--- is becoming increasingly difficult.
"We're going to be talking with the
directors of youth in the Methodist
churches in the are a... We 're going to
be talking with all of our alumni in
the area. We're gonna be talking with
parents of freshmen who came this year...
We've asked all freshmen to give us
three names of their friends that
think might like to know something about
a school like Centenary." Guidance
counselors and PTAs , too, will occa-
sionally be contracted. These "natural
contacts" will and must be utilized,
he explained, because no more than
101 of the student body consists of
students who are "sold" iust by a
single meeting with a school represen-
tative.

Alumni wil be utilized, in certain
cases and where they are agreeable,
to visit potential Gents and their
families, perhaps five prospects for
each alum.

STUDENT RECRUITERS

Nor will present students at Centenary
be left forgotten. While it is unfor-
seeable how much of his plan can be
put into effect this year, Mr. Levingston
has plans to eventually recruit student
volunteers — and only those who wish
to serve — who will be effective
Centenary representatives to travel
with one or another Admissions staff
members to area schools for one -day
trips not involving great amounts of
time or money as recruiters.

Another possibility is a writing
campaign — students writing to one
or two potential Gentlemen from their
own geographical region to encourage
them to visit the school and find out
about us that way. He is also consider-
ing a "telephone marathon" to show
prospective Centenary students that
we care, to "personify the college."

In line with my remarks about "No
brag, just fact," Mr. Levingston has
decreed the inauguration of a "no bull"
policy: from now on, Centenary College
will be presented for what it is. This
is also, he said, to improve Centenary's
less-than-satisfactory retention rate.
"The Admissions office would bring in
400 new ones a year, and you lose two
hundred by the sophomore year."

A main ingredient in this recipe,
he stressed, was bringing students on
campus for a first-hand view. High
School Day will be continued this year,
with' some 250-300 students here for a
weekend. Some 75 to 801 of those who
visit our campus come to Centenary,
he said. Gents tend to be friendly
and frank to visitors, he noted, going
out of their way to help. He mentioned
the 'rescue' of an English visitor by
the Big Riggers .

M3NEY

We then got down to a subject which
is frequently discussed these days,
both at Centenary and about the country-
side: money. Does the Admissions
office have enough? Mr. Levingston
thinks so, even with a 25-301 cut,
mainly because the office intends to
be a better steward of their funds.
Previously, he said, the office was
receiving an abundance of money,
including special funding, but not pro-
dicing to match the investment. There-
fore the cut really doesn't concern him,
at least not for this year, since this
is basically a year for planting the
seed of his program.

If lack of funds in the office is
not the problem --- why is enrollment
drooping 9 "I think there's all types
of reasons that enrollment's been
dropping," he told me. Part of the
fault rests with the Arinissions office,
he said, but part is due to other factors.

This man's name is Hank Thompson. He
is a country singer. Why, he even appeared
in Shreveport last weekend at a shopping
center, and sang beer drinkin' songs. Just
in case anyone asks .

As for the problems with the office,
one was that the staff was too wide-
spread to be effective. Students com-
plained that inquiries were answered
too late — or not at all.

Also, the illness of Financial Aid
Director ^s. Eubanks delayed vital
assistance to students who were thus
forced to go to other schools. But,
also, the baby -boom has passed; the
col lege -age population is declining.
Community colleges are scooping up
enormous amounts of students, too.
And, also, students are not being
herded into school by the draft as
once they were. Add that to the fading
of the "college mystique," and schools
(especially non-public ones) all over
the country are losing their prospect -
pools .

The optimum enrollment for Centen-
ary, with our present faculty and
facilities, is around 1200, he said,
with 1000 of those full-time. But,
he stressed, those (including myself,
I must admit) who feel that increased
enrollment will spell the end of Centen-
ary's financial quandry are quite mistaken.
The deficit we face is too large for an
increased body count alone to evaporate.

As noted before, students can help
out in the admissions program. Until
fir. Levingston announces more formal
plans, students should be writing
friends and parents about Centenary.

RIGIDITY -LAXITY CONTINUUM

"Forgetting about minor details,
such as losing your job," I asked him,
"will the radical reduction of visi-
tation hours hurt recruiting?" Not
as a part of the total picture, he re-
plied. The difficulty lies in present-
ing the totality of Centenary and College
life. Right now Centenary lies rough-
ly in the middle of the rigidity -laxity
continuum (exemplified by Oral Roberts
University on the former end, some of
the Northeastern schools on the lat-
ter) and consequently does not exclude
by alientation many students that
schools to one extreme or the other
might scare away. But the quality of
Centenaryness is not easy to convey.
That is his hardest task, and the one
he is most determined to perform.

As I began to talk with
Mr. Levingston, I received
definite vibrations of
competence . As our talk
progressed and at length
concluded, that sense in-
creased. I left the Ad-
missions office fully con-
fident that here was a
man with the perceptivity
to see what must be done,
the brains and imagination
to know how to do it, the
creativity to know how he
wanted to go about it, and
the skill to see that it
got done. In an age when
pride of workmanship is
virtually passe' and the
world's fas test -growing
religion is the cult of
mediocrity , it was refresh-
ing, comforting , and re-
invigorating. As o'.e who
considers himself an
artist, I felt I had met
a brother in spirit.

or less a night) tend to be energetic extro-
verts who have few complaints about their
health or the state of the world and often
avoid problems by keeping busy. Long sleepers
(nine hours or more a night) are generally
creative and artistic introverts. They worry
and complain a lot and use sleep as an escape
from reality. Writing in the Archives of
Psychiatry, Dr. Ernest Hartmann states that
a person's sleep pattern "seems to be set
in high school or college and continues
through life."

The university of Washington has started
proceedings to fire economics professor Jeff
Morris, despite the face that he has over a
year left on his contract. The stated reason
for the dismissal action is that Dr. Morris
gave every one of the 675 students in his
introductory ecomonics class an "A."

Defending his grading philosophy, Morris

declared: "Grades destroy real incentive to
learn, force students to treat their teachers
as cops, and alienate students from each' other
by fostering competition and discouraging
cooperation."

Many of Morris' former students have join
ed him in his fight to keep his job. They
vouch for his teaching ability and say that
the mellow atmosphere in his classes was much
more conducive to learning than the usual
tension-filled and, for some, terror-stricken
lecture hall .

If you've been bored by the Fischer-

you should get a kick out of this line from

anywhere outside an advertising agency."

Larry Murov, Meditator

by Cherry Payne

"Transcendental meditation is a natural
spontaneous technique which allows each in-
dividual to expand his conscious mind and
improve all aspects of his life." This
statement was taken from a poster telling
of transcendental meditation as taught by
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. The CONGLOMERATE
interviewed Larry Mirov, a representative
of the Students' International Meditation
Society, who is giving the introductory
lecture next Wednesday, September 20 in
Mickle Hall 114 at 7:30 pm.

Transcendental meditation is a simple
mental technique carried out for approxi-
mately fifteen minutes at least twice daily.
This technique allows the body to settle
into a deep state of rest and simultane-
ously releases various stresses and strains
in the body. Those who practice meditation
claim that through the release of these
stresses, many psychosomatic diseases such
as ulcers, asthma, and allergies are alle-
viated if not eliminated altogether.

When asked about the technique of medi-
tation itself, Mr. Murov stated, "During
meditation we take a thought and experience
that thought on deeper and deeper levels
until we bring our awareness to the source
of thought, which is the source of all cre-
ativity and intelligence. . .Transcendental
meditation is not a withdrawal from life.
We don't meditate because we can't cope with
our situations. . .It makes us more efficient,
more stable, it strengthens our personali-
ties." Mr. Murov emphasized that there is
no concentration, as such, employed in the
technique of meditation. This, he feels, is
what makes transcendental meditation unique.
"It just works on the natural tendency of
the mind." One of the means of practicing
transcendental meditation is by means of a
"antra or a thought without meaning which -
is expressed by means of a sound. One point
which was re -emphasized throughout the inter-
view is the simplicity of the technique.

The Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is presently
the leader and teacher of transcendental
meditation movement . The Maharishi has been
selected by his teacher to acquaint the world
with this particular meditation technique.
He himself is a Hindu monk. The method of
meditation which he advocates comes from, the
Vedic tradition, or the Vedasare , the an-
cient scriptures of India. The Maharishi
is the individual from whom the Beatles
studied meditation.

Perhaps one of the most desirable effects
->f meditation is that it functions as a
"normalizer." In other words , it releases

the individual in such a manner as to allow
him to perceive more in the world around
him. Mr. Murov stated that as one gains
skill in the art of meditation, he learns to
use more of his mind to its fullest poten-
tial. Therefore, the meditator's percep-
tion of his world is more sensitive. He is
able to cope with his responsibilities with-
out becoming as distressed as the non^medita-
tor. Furthermore, Mr. Murov emphasized that
he no longer feels a need for or gains plea-
sure from alcohol or dope. In other words ,
he seems completely satisfied with his world
as it is due to his greater awareness.

Students' International Meditation Society
is a non-profit, educational organization.
They are financed solely through "contribu-
tions," but the cost of the course is $35
for high school students, $45 for college
students, and $75 for working adults. The
course includes two free introductory les-
sons a personal interview with the instruc-
tor, and four days of instruction at 1 1/2
hours daily. The meeting, once again, will
be held Wednesday the 20th at 7:30 pm. : n

Mr. Robert Buseick and Barbara Acker, two
of the professors at the theatre, made them-
selves available earlier this week so that
I might talk to them about the upcoming sea-
son at Majorie Lyons Playhouse.

It is obvious that the upcoming plays
were carefully selected with the theme of
self examination in mind. "I think all the
plays this year are dealing with self exam-
ination and self discovery. . .the major
protagonists' primary concern is self iden-
tification," says Buseick. Barbara made the
observation that these self -searching , ini-
tiation type journeys are brought about in
conjunction with "an illusion that has been
smashed. . .or veiling ourselves to a blind
spot we have."

It would be worth the reader's while to
cut out the schedule of plays and their pre-
sentation dates found in this paper. The
1972-73 season promises to be enlightening
educational, and entertaining.

In addition to the regular schedule, the
playhouse is participating in and/or antici-
pating more events. For example, Take Me To
You r Treasure will be touring towniTTn out~
lying areas of the state. We are able to do
this through Jack Mulkey's Green-Gold Library
System. Through a program such as this,
children and adults who otherwise would not
have the opportunity will experience live
theater performances .

The Imaginary Invalid will be touring to
BatoiTTtouge and will be entered in the Fifth
Annual American College Festival.

The theater will be offering an interum
course called "Theater as a Mirror of Social
Issues." This course will include guest
lecturers as well as a production.

One last exciting prospect is that of the
possibility of doing a program for retire-
ment homes here in town. This is still in
the planning stages, so if you have any
ideas or if you are interested in this con-
tact Mr. Buseick at the playhouse.

Barbara Acker could use help sewing cos-
t unes for Rosencrantz and Guil dens tern Are
Dead. So if you sew, come to the playhouse
onSaturday morning (9:00-12:00). If you
can't sew, Bob Hickman will be more than
happy to utilize your talents in finishing
the set. If you would like to work on this
production but are unable to come Saturday
morning, or if you are interested in work-
ing for a future show, call the playhouse

THE CONGLOMERATE

September 15, 1972

Who is Python Lee Jackson?

You probably heard it once or twice
on the radio, said, "hey, it's a new
Rod Stewart single," then shook your
head in bafflement when the dee -jay
announced it as Python Lee Jackson.

Who? It was a question often enough
to damage sales, and the record never
entered the Top 50. I thought it was
a fine single, Rod at his best with an
unfamiliar band that could hold its
own with Procol Harum, the Jeff Beck
group, and other English heavies of a
couple years ago.

How it all came about is a matter
not even hinted at by the record company
and still somewhat confusing to me.

Rod, I know, did a lot of bumming
around betwe c en gigs with Steampacket,
Jeff Beck and the Faces'. He did some
singles on Columbia, Decca and Immediate
This material most likely dates from
1970, for it was in November of that
year that "In a Broken Dream" was orig-
inally issued in England as one of
the first releases on Miki Dallon's
Youngblood label. Dallon was a respect-
ed and brilliant producer, as well as
a recording artist in his ovn right ,
and his production work with Python
Lee Jackson leaves little to be desired.

Python Lee Jackson is an Australian
group with a long history. They dominated
Australia's equivalent of the British R§B
scene in 1964-5, and were known for
their lead singer, a blind cripple named
Jeff St. John who danced without the use
of his legs on a stool in front of the
band while singing a way that never
failed to tear up the crowds. The group
moved to England without him in 1966,
expecting to make it big, but they didn't.
By 1970 they had undergone some changes,
picking up Tony Cahill from the Easy-
beats and Gary Doyle from Brian Auger's
Trinity.

Then, somehow, Rod Stewart decided to
cut three songs with them.

Without that break it's unlikely this
album would ever have been issued. I
have no way of knowing, but I suspect
the material on In a Broken Dream (GNP
Crescendo 2066) was all recorded at the
same time and has languished in the can
the past two years only to be rescued
by the title song's rediscovery. The
playing on the Stewart cuts is more tight-
ly structured and dramatic, and the con-
trasting looseness of the other songs
might be as much a consequence of passing
time as of a possible reduction in pres-
sure when Stewart wasn't singing.

What does it matter, anyway? People
will buy this for Rod Stewart, even though
he sings only three numbers. The title
song alone , as the old saw goes , makes
this a worthwhile purchase. Rod's voice
is a controlled cry of pain matched perfect-
ly by the poignant wailing of guitar and or-
gan. David Montgomery, one of the three
surviving Python Lee Jackson originals,
is a fine dnirim'SY almost ,in a class with
Mickey Waller, and on the whole I think
that if Stewart had stuck with this group
instead of joining the Small Faces, the
results would have compared favorably.

His other production number is
"Doin' Fine," other wise known as "Cloud
9" of Temptation fame. Rod's fascination
with *lotown is further justified with this
soulful outing, and his attempt at the
more difficult blues of "How Blue can
You Get?" (titled here siinply "The Blues)
proves no strain on his ability to project
feeling. This cut is not as lavishly ar-
ranged, based rather on the simple
elegance of B.B. King's sytle. It's all
right, but "In a Broken Dream" is still
the only thing l»ere in a class with the
best of his recent work*

Now for Python Lee Jackson. They'rt
cood. Like the Move's recent "California

Man" single, "Boogie Woogie Joe" is a
rocker in the Jerry Lee Lewis. vein, and
it's handled nicely, without pretense or
overkill. 'Turn the Music Down" uses
some Chuck Berry changes to make a
statement about growing up with rock§roll,
and it too is a success. The other ori-
ginals remind me alternately of Elton John,
Leon Russell, and various other currently
popular makers of pleasant, nondescript
rock music.

Which means you can put this album up
on the shelf next to all the other stars
that never were, and take it down every
so often when you want to hear *i minor
gem that's destined to be quickly forgotten,

A StoryOfTheNewAge

by Anna and Paul

Many winters ago we sojourned a few
weeks in southern Colorado with old friends
who had rented an abandoned church for the
winter. Our travelling companion, Aasha,
nearing 2, would sleep with us up in the
belfry and wake with us under the tom-
lace-cobweb sunrise windows and dawn-
lavender adobe walls. He'd sleep wrapped
up in a beautiful blanket given us by an
Indian lady.

We used to take long walks at sunset
as layers of deepening blue descended
toward the rosey Sangre de Christo moun-
tains. It was on one of those early winter
evenings, as we emerged snugly bundled
from the old church, that we first caught
sipht of several motionless outlines hieh
on a ride against the western sky. Perhaps
they were apparitions. A direct glance
and they seemed to dissolve.

But in our walk they must have trust-
ed, or felt kinship with the babe papoosed
upon our back, for daily their numbers
seemed to increase. But always they stayed
distant- -high in the silence witli the chang-
ing moon and the evening star.

Only after many weeks did their sunset
stations gradually start drawing closer to
the valley. Only then could we discern that
the mysterious creatures were wild goats of
all sizes and descriptions, and that they
were accompanied by human children girded
in furs and wielding slender staffs.

Such was our lives' Calling: for so
we took it to be. Later that winter we
drove our rusty pick-up back to New York to
decamp forever from a catacomb in which we'd
spent too many years.

We raise goats now- -some of the finest
Nubians, Alpines, and Angoras in the Republic
of Colorado. Every year as the winter sol-
stice approaches we take the one-year olds,
does and billies both, up to the mountain
meadows to join their wild brothers and
sisters -- and thereby try to insure that
the children will lack neither milk, meat,
nor furs through the long winter.

And as the years have passed, many a
band of the wandering children have accepted
a night's sancutary in our belfry, and the
wild goats have visited their barnyard
cousins, as together they've passed by our

Leon Russell, Nitzinger

Leaving Shreveport about 11 a.m. last
Thursday, September 12, a group of Centenary
students headed for Little Rock to hear the
immortal Leon Russell, along with Nitzinger,
a new group on the circuit. After pulling
ourselves together 'in the nick o' time',
we all made it out to the Big Barn, renamed
Barton Coliseum (sarcastic comment) .

The show started late, about 8:30, when
Nitizinger finally arrived on stage. Nit-
zinger is composed of four members : three
males, and one outtasite female drummer (I
think I was most impressed with her own spe-
cial way of boogyin 1 ). To me, Nitzinger
was. nothing new, just another hardrock
group. The members all had great ability
and perfonned well musically and on the
stage, but I think the hard stuff they
played has gotten old. With the Blues,
Nitzinger was a different group, playing
with a totally different style and real
emotion.

Like all other hard rock groups, Nitzinger must
learn to modify (should I say compromise?) its
music. I cannot say how the group sounds on
its debut album ("Nitzinger") -maybe what they
played at Barton was their hardest stuff. They

played it well.

Then came Leon (Backstage, a KLAZ radio
Jock said he knew Leon was there, but he wasn't
sure Leon knew Leon was there) . Wild applause
went up for the Tulsa longhair, and the show
began. Leon went through about five hats ( on
the head type), throwing them out in the audi-
ence as he sang, played piano and rocked on
guitar (not all at once, of course). I wander-
ed-about to check on the acoustics of the Barn.
The results came as no surprise to me. Up
front near the stage the sound was great, as
usual, but I couldn't help pitying the 3,000
people, that weren't up front .The acoustics
were lousy in back, on the sides, and up in
the stands. This is what prevented Leon Russell
from living up to the high standards of his
unique music. Pity the late arrivers and envy
the early ones.'

Overall, his performance and music made
"A lotta rock outta Little Rock" (a Russell
quote) . Go and see this man live if you get
the chance, but if the concert is being held
at something like the Big Barn... get there
early. ^

Mason Proffit:!

All I can say is that Shreveport and
Centenary weren't ready for Proffit. More
people were waiting to hear something like
Grand Funk (wow) and not some tiling like The
Band, which Mason Profit t strongly resembled.

The best thing to do at the concert was
to pull yourself out of the super-hard (or
the super-soft) stuff that you were used to and
try to turn on to M.P.. I will admit that the
first three songs reeked of cow pastures and
'country', but the rest of their music improved
as the concert progressed.

'"Buffalo" was their "song of the night,"
reflecting the past and present of the Indian
by blending two smooth voices with equally
beautiful lyrics. "S .ackin' *fusic" was
the best explication oT down -home music I
have heard yet. The dude (we never got their
names) who played the banjo did a bang-up job,
especially during "S. Kickin 1 ffcisic." (I'm
afraid I'll be censored...)

With an unresponsive audience, Mason
Proffit did perform its best (that could be
expected) . It was a different type of group
with a different type of music- -type of music
that may take a while to be appreciated, but
until then it won't be too far out... far out...
far out. . .far out . . .

Ungar vs. Stewart

Science, despite its pretensions to
ultimate seTioasness , or even sanctity,
is a game.

Much as in the world of chess, there
are dabblers, masters, and grand masters.
(And there are, of course, kibitzers like
me.)

The rules are much more complex than,
say, chess rules, and a game may last a
decade or even a lifetime. Moves are ex-
periments formalized into papers, although
some grandmasters don't even do experiments
except in their heads --they just present
their moves on paper. Counter-moves are
other papers, usually based on experiments.
And for all these moves there are referees --
master scientists who decide whether a move
is allowable or not, that is, whether or
not a paper should be published.

The object of the game is for a
scientist to get an hypothesis accepted by
the scientific community. Just as in chess,
old games can be replayed and different
results emerge; a theory can be scrapped and
a new one accepted. The play is constantly
shifting, and every theory, or even "law"
(long accepted theory), is up for grabs--
to anyone who can win the game.

A fine point in one of the many
scientific games being played was published
recently: a move with running commentary by
the referee- -a rare event in science. The
referee actually got into the game with a
counter move! Usually the referee is an
anonymous part of the publishing process.

But this referee, 27-year-old Waiter W.
Stewart of the National Institute of Health
in Bethesda, Maryland, thought that the
move was so weird, and the game (the hypo-
thesis) so important, that he just had to
come out of the woodwork and say his piece.

The move is "Isolation, Identification
and Synthesis of a Specif ic -Behavior -Inducing
Brain Peptide" by G. Ungar and P.M. ^esiderio

of the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston,
Texas, and W. Parr of the University of
Houston. It was published in Nature , July 2£,
1972; in the same issue is the counter-move :
"Comments on the Chemistry of Scotophobia,"
by Walter Stewart.

Now, Nature , a British weekly, prides
itself on fast publication, usually within
two months. They like to get the moves out
when they're still hot in the scientific
world- -not like that stodgy American weekly,
Science . where six months is a more usual
refereeing time, or like the hopelessly slow
monthlies and quarterlies. But Ungar and
company had to wait a year and a half! What
was happening behind the scenes (or beneath
the board)?

This Scotophobia game began for Ungar
when he reported in Nature (1968) that he had
trained rats to avoid dark (which they usual-
ly like) by shocking them when they went
into the dark end of a box. Ungar also wrote
that when he injected brain extracts from
these trained rats into untrained rats, they
too would avoid the dark.

This was one of several similar reports
throughout the sixties about other animals.
James McConnell had startled the scientific
world in 1962 by announcing that planarian
worms could pick up maze learning by eating
njaze-trained worms. People said, "maybe worms
can do it, but it won't work with higher
animals." Soon, however, there were reports
about "ransfer-of- learning through brain
extracts in rats. But these experiments were
very controversial; some people tried to
duplicate them and couldn't, others did
duplicate them but not without ambiguity.

Ungar added something new to the contro-
versy because he thought the active ingredient
in the transfer extract was a protein, while
most of the others were saying RNA was most
important. Of Course, both RNA and protein
could be active--after all, RNA makes protein.
But proteins are more stable than RNA outside
the cell, and this was why Ungar favored
protein.

TWo years and 4000 rats later, Ungar was
ready to make a new move- -a big one. He had
isolated and identified the learning -trans-
fer protein. That is, he had named all its
amino acid building blocks and specified the
order they came in: Serine, Aspartic acid,
Aspargine, Aspargine, Glutamine, Glutamine,
Glycine , Glycine , Lysine , Serine , Alanine ,
Gultamine, Glutamine, Glycine, Glycine,
Tyrosine, and NH?. (Fifteen amino acids:
not a long enough chain to call a protein- -
it's peptide.) What's more, Ungar synthesized
the peptide and when he injected it into
naive rats they avoided the dark just as much
as rats injected with purified extracts from
rats trained .to avoid the dark. He called
the peptide Scotophobia from the Greek for
"fear of the dark."

Preliminary reports were leaked at
scientific conferences , and these got into
conference reports and into the newspapers.
The big report was to be for Nature . As
referee for the article, the magazine ap-
pointed Walter Stewart, a chemist, and presum-
ably neutral on the "memory -transfer" contro-
versy. Stewart thought the report was sloppy,
incomplete, and "more like false than true."
He asked them to clear up certain ambiguities.
He berated them for making mistakes in weigh-
ing the amino acids. Ungar and Stewart wrote
each other back and forth. They reached an
impasse. Nature suggested publishing Ungar's
piece along with Stewart's objections and a
rebuttal from Ungar. The deal was accepted,
and so we have our rare glimpse into this
Scotophobin game.

The real crux of the arguments is the
purity of the isolated active substance.
Stewart estimates up to 33% impurities on
a molar ratio basis. Ungar counters that molar
ratios are misleading and that the material
went through six solvent systems and is un-
likely to have impurities of more than a "few
percent." Also, even Stewart agrees that "an
erroneous weight will not affect the calcu-
lated ratios of amino acids." Besides, Ungar
adds that they have repeated the work with
ever improving measuring devices and Scoto-
phobin's identity has stood up, while others
have repeatedly confirmed the biological
activity of the synthetic Scotophobin on un-
trained rats .

Looks like Ungar is ahead in the game.
But what about the "reality" --memory trans-
fered by molecule? What we do with that is
an even more complicated (and serious) game.

Randy Newman
Pure and Simple

by Poseidon

Randy Newman is a unique artist whose work
has, for the most part, gone unnoticed by
the public. Randy Newman's biggest admirers
have always been other musicians, many of
whom have recorded some of his comoositions .
You may recall that '?!ama Told fie Not To
Come," written by Newman and apnearing on
the Live album, was recorded by a big name
"pop" group and was a number one hit across
the nation.

This record, Randy's third for Reprise,
contains various types of songs that are all
distinctly Newman. There are amusingly funny
songs such as 'Tickle Me" and "Maybe I'm
Doing It Wrong." On the other hand, "So
Long Dad" and "Living Without You" are
sentimental numbers which, if you are highly
emotional, may cause you to shed a tear or
two. For those of you who are looking for
something of a social commentary, Newman
offers 'Yellow Man" and "Lonely At The Top."

The album was recorded live at The Bitter
End, a small nightclub in the East Village.
Randy Newman is at his best playing for a
small audience and creates an atmosphere that
is comparable to an informal get together
of friends in somebody's living room. He
communicates freely with the audience and
they with him. He is not the type of per-
former you will see at huge, impersonal
Halls like fladison Square Garden or the
SDectrum.

Randy sings and accompanies himself on
the piano. No gimmicks, no devices, no
64-track tape machines. Pure unadulterated
and simple is the way he Drefers to keep
his music. With everyone else becoming
more and more conrolex, it's nice to listen
to Randy Newman. The fourteen songs on this
album provide a refreshing listening
experience.

Gents' Schedule Highly-Ranked

by John Hardt

A common subject of discussion among
college fans is the relative difficulty of
various teams 1 schedules . In fact , I par-
ticipated in such a discussion this week.
With this in mind, I was quite interested to
find a ranking of the major college bas-
ketball teams on the basis of the "tough-
ness" of their schedules. Published in
the Basketball News , these rankings, which
included 189 teams , were based on last
season's schedules.

I was particularly interested in Cen-
tenary's position in these rankings. The
"experts" found that the Gents played the
80th toughest schedule in the nation last
year. At first I did not think that was
so great, but then I examined the rankings
a little closer. The Gents were only a
few notches under such prestigious area
schools as LSU and Vanderbilt. Ranked
slightly under the Gents were such powers
as Kentucky and perennial national cham-
pion UCLA. That' is, the experts rated the
Gents' schedule to be more dificult than
the Bruins ' .

In the top twenty in national independent
schools , the Gents f schedule also rates highly
compared to other national powers of last
year. In fact, thirteen of the nation's top

Here are the answers to last week's puzzle.
If anyone is interested in having the cross-
word as a regular feature, let us know.

twenty -five teams played weaker schedules
than the Gents. USL's schedule ranked 183rd,
and Oral Roberts' was rated 185th. Hawaii's
schedule was ranked 148th. This does not
say that the Gents were a better team than
these teams, only that the Gents played a
tougher schedule.

In comparison with the schedule ran-
kings of the area's conferences, the Gents'
schedule also compares favorably. The
Gents' schedule was ranked higher than
that of all eight members of the South-
west Conference. It was also higher than
the average ranking of the teams in the
Southeastern Conference.

Also, the rankings found that the At-
lantic Coast Conference teams played by
far the roughest schedules in the nation.
The other top five conferences were the
Pacific-Eight, the Big Ten, the Ivy
League, and the Missouri Valley.

In general, the study showed that
many of the major national powers play
fairly weak schedules. One can only
speculate if these teams would be such
powers if they played tougher schedules.

I am not sure what these rankings mean,
maybe nothing, but they were interesting
at any rate. To me, they do confirm the
strength of the Centenary basketball oro-
gram.

Above, freshman Bob Dodson and other

members of the TKE teams are preparing
for action next week.

Football Begins Monday

by Andy Carlton

Centenary intramural flag football be~
gins this week with a full slate of games.
Once again the Sigs will be out to defend
their title. They are supported this year
by a fine pledge class and of course the
returning lettermen. Other fine teams en-
tered this year are the Homes (mostly
members of the baseball team) , Kappa
Alpha, Theti Chi , and TKE I § II . The
faculty is once again entering intra-
mural football and could be contenders
with fine men such as Mark McMurry, Dick
Skarsten, and Dr. Charles Lowery. The
field will be rounded out by Cossa's
Robbers .

The Homes are led this year by Don
Birklebach, Perry Peyton, and Dan Sparrow.
Kappa Alpha could be tough this year with
such players as Artie Geary, Henry Gordon,
and Rocky Ruello. This year the TKE 's
will be quarterbacked by Jeff Hendricks
and supported by Galen Sanders and Com-
pany. The league will last about four
weeks with the playoffs following iinmed-
iately afterward. The top four teams will
enter the playoffs on the basis of their
league records .

Here is the schedule for the opening
week of intramural flag football com-
petition and the names of the referees
assigned to call the games. All games
are at 6:00 p.m.

THE CONGLOMERATE

Page Eleven

by Cherry Payne

Imagine yourself 14,000 feet above sea
level, suspended from a rope, swinging gayly
down a vertical rock face and yodelling'.
Admittedly, this requires a variety of skills
such as the ability of a monkey, sometimes
super-human strength and a prerequisite of at
least some insanity. And who has mastered all
of these skills quite successfully? Why,
Dr. Stan Taylor of the Chemistry Department
(Yes, he can even yodel). For underneath
Dr. Taylor's calm, be-spectacled professorial
countenance one finds that "The Dragon's" idea
of a good time is to throw twenty to forty
pounds upon his back and storm off to subject
himself to the rigors of mountain climbing.

Dr. Taylor has been interested in mountain-
eering since a college student at Iowa State.
He is presently a member of Iowa Mountaineers,
an organization located at the University of
Iowa under the leadership of John Ebert. The
club sponsors trips throughout Alaska, Canada
and the "Lower 48," in addition to one foreign
trip during the summer.

Dr. Taylor related that he finds great
satisfaction in the sport of climbing. First
of all, there is the basic desire to see if
one can get to the top. Furthermore, the
goal of mountain climbing is relatively simple
in that those climbing know exactly what thev
want to do feet to the top). The problem, and
perhaps the real challenge presented here is
the overcoming of one's own self -doubts and un-
necessary fears. For while mountaineering does
have its ''difficult 11 moments , the danger level
is simply not as bad as it seems. Most people
Dr. Taylor noted, are only aware of that which'
they have seen of climber from a distance

which, oftetimes makes climbing look much worse
than it is in reality. The human fly techniques,
of which everyone is familiar, are executed
only with the protection of ropes, slings, ca-
rabiners and related equipment. The final, and
perhaps, most simple challenge of climbing is
getting to the top without getting lost. Dr.
Taylor noted that oftentimes it is quite easy
to lose one's perspective from the slopes of
a mountain and admitted that he has been on climb
where the leader has had his nose stuck in a
book the entire way trying to find the proper
route to the peak. Perhaps the opposite extreme
is when a leader has taken a picture postcard of
the mountain at hand and utilized it to reach

/

the peak.

Dr. Taylor has many mountains to his credit,
in the United States, Canada and Europe. Among
them are Symmetry Spire, Teewinot , Cloud Veil
Dome, South Teton and Nezperce in the Grand
Tetons, Long's Peak, Colorado (the locale of
his honeymoon) Maliguin Lake, Canada (a snow
climb) and Mt. Whitney, the tallest mountain
in the Continental United States (14,500 feet).
Those in Europe include the Dolemites in North
Italy, Cross Clockner, the highest peak in
Austria (3100 meters or approximately 12,000
feet), Zugspitze, the tallest in Germany and
the ever famous Matterhorn at 14,701 feet.

The scale of difficulty in climbing ranges
from 1 through 5.11. A3 point climb is one
in which the climber doesn't need his hands to
negociate. 4 point consists of using hands
but no ropes while anywhere in the 5 point range
consists of the use of ropes, petons and other
equipment. With much difficulty I was able to
get Dr. Taylor to admit he has made 5.8 climos,
but when asked what the point value of his
most difficult climb was, he refused to com-
ment ( I suspect due to his modesty) .

Dr. Taylor's advice to those starting out
in the sport is to take time to build technique
and experience. He emphasizes the need for
practice with equipment to master procedures
and methods. Finally, he cautions the novice
not to rush into climbing without proper physical
preparation (that is, adjusting oneself to the
high altitudes, temperatures and carrying ade-
quate clothing) .

Rumor has it that mountaineering is picking
up at Centenary and that Dr. Taylor has managed
to coax a few students and at least one faculty
member down the south wall of Mickle Hall.
When asked why he cared to suspend himself
from a rope and descend Mickle instead of using
the elevator, one student purportedly stated,
"Because its there."

If you are looking for something
to do on a Saturday afternoon in
ShreveDort, then why not plan on at-
tending the All -Campus Weekend on
Sept. 22-23.

With the event only one week away,
exciting plans are already being final-
ized. Sophomore Senator Jeff Hendricks
is investigating the nossiblity of
renting a roller rink from 8-12 p.m.
on Friday night. However, prior to
the Dronosed skating Darty the annual
beer and bicycle race will be held at
4:00 p.m. on Fraternity Row.

On Saturday morning students,
faculty, and the administration will
be un "bright and early" to participate
in the All --Campus Cleanup. The activite
will begin at 8:30 a.m., orange juice
and donuts will be served at 10:15 a.m.,
and the campaign will conclude around
noon. Three $10 cash prizes will be
offered in various cleanup catergories,
such as "the most immaculate area."

Later in the day Sonhomore Senator
Cindy Yeast will be in charge of the
annual tug -of -war over the mud, the
couples-only banana eating contest,
and a powder-puff football game. While
these activites are going on, Onen Ear
will be holding an auction in Haynes
Gym.

The fun- filled weekend will be con-
cluded with the showing of the science
fiction film "The Illustrated Man."
Ice cream will also be served Saturday
night .

How Will Laissez-Faire?

by Jeff Daiell

There's a land that is fairer than day,
And by faith we can see it afar.
For our Father waits over the way,
To prepare us a dwelling place there.
— In the Sweet By -and -By

"Every man," John Locke declared /'has
a right to be secure in his life, health,
liberty and possessions," It was the duty
of the State, he went on, solely to ensure
that right, and to do so without itself
infringing thereupon.

Believing that no State today lives up
to this ideal, a gToup of Libertarians
have established -- what else -- their
own State, the Republic of Minerva, some
35 square miles of coral atop two reefs
in the South Pacific.

This is no shovel -and- sandbucket
project, however, though it might seem
so from the above. As a matter of fact,
it would appear that Ocean Life Research
Foundation, hoisters of the blue and
gold torch which is the Minervan flag,
is virtually without a limit on its funds.

The motive behind Minerva is simple,
basic, fundamental, and straightforward:
a regard for the inalienable rights of
the individual. The Minervan government
will be restricted to preventing violence
and fraud, and forbidden to engage in
such acts (taxation, repression, conscrip-
tion) as are the governmental equivalents
thereof. The word of the day is laissez-
faire; the market at its freest. The
government will consist of a military
force, a domestic police contingent, and
courts and penal system.

Planners of the new Republic envision
a capital, Sea City, of some 30,000
people, designed both as a residential
city and as a tourist attraction.
Immigration into the island will be
granted on philosophical -ideological
grounds.

Already the Minervans have caused a
stir. Neighboring nations are almost
unanimous in their displeasure and --
might as well say it -- ridicule of the
new nation, although one country, a small
sultanate in the Malay Archipelago, has
invited diplomatic relations.

Obviously, the Republic of Minerva is
an experiment -- an experiment in the
practice of what other lands (ours
included, sadly) merely preach: the
sovereign rights of Man. The economists
and ideologues of the reactionary Left
have for years sniffed at laissez-faire
Libert arianism as "impractical." The
economists and ideologues of the progres-
sive Right have for the same period
defended it as practicably as well as
morally superior to statism. It has
fallen -- by their own choice as self-
directed individuals -- to the citizens
of Minerva to determine, in the first
true test, just which camp was correct.
Alea jacta est . . . the die is cast.

Thievery on Campus

Christ, Commies, and Cash

by Taylor Caffery

Because it was a hot, muggy
September evening in Shreveport,
many peoDle remained outside the
poorly ventilated high school
auditoriun, waiting for the
singers and speaker to appear
onstage. Shreveport had seen
countless similar meetings in
earlier years, when Huey Long f s
inspired political oratory
would draw huge, sweating crowds
of packed people who would brave
the heat, fan the sparse air to-
ward their faces with handouts
or racing bulletins, and cheer
as Huey stepped onto the platform,
loosening his Sears and Roebuck
tie.

The ghost of the great popu-
list Governor may have been swelt-
ering somewhere in the background
Monday night, alongside the ghosts
of Billy Sunday and Joe McCarthy,
to join two hundred mortal Shreve-
porters in awaiting the opening
moments of a patriotic, anti-
communist, fundamentalist rally
featuring Billy James Hargis and
His All -American Kids.

The windows of the auditorium
(Fair Park was built in neolithic
pre-airconditioning days) opened
wide, the crcwd was ushered- in
past hall tables featuring wares
of the right-wing religious trade:
records, tee shirts, bumper stick-
ers, and books like Forced Busing:
Inrnoral and Un-American , Satanism,
and The Sinister Assault on the
Family^ Huey 's ghost, had he
been present, would have searched
in vain for a ^wallow of hard
liquor or, evtfci better, a chance
to fight or argue with a scoun-
drelly opponent, because the
mortal audience members were
straight, sober, and in apparent
general, if not complete, agree-
ment with the featured speaker 1 s
views on Fre e Enterprise. Salvat-

ion, the Virgin Birth, and Com-
munist tyranny.

Billy James Hargis, founder
of the American Christian College
in Tulsa and the Christian Cru-
sade against Communism, and
star of syndicated radio and
television fundamentalist pro-
grams , knew the audience was
waiting for his show to begin
as he stood in the stage wings
Monday night answering questions
for a CONGLOMERATE interview.
There was no hurry, it turned
out, because the first hour of

It's Here!

It's here, it's here, it's here; it's
here at last, my friends. The event
you've all been waiting for has finally
arrived. Step right up! Hurree, hurree,
hurree!

Yes, it's Centenary All-Campus Week-
end, starting today at 3:30 on Frater-
nity Row with the Annual Beer 'n*
Bicycle Race, complete with prizes and
open to all. Hurree, hurree, hurree!

But it doesn't stop there, folks,
no, it doesn't stop there. At 8:30 the
fun shifts to the Interstate Skating
Rink where Centenary students get to
skate free (BYOB) . Just take 1-20 to
Jewel la, friends, then go right on
Jewel la 1 and 1/2 blocks to Clayborn,
but don't stop there folks, oh, no! .
The rink is behind the ol ' Westwood
Center. Step right up!

Then comes Saturday, friends. Open
Ear is having an auction and you're
all invited. It's in the eym, folks,
it's in the gym.

From 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. that
very same day, it's All-Campus Clean-
up time. Juice and coffeecake at 10,
with prizes awarded in the Ampitheatre
for best cleaner. Here's your chance to
make a good-looking pick-iro, guys, so
don't miss it! v

At 2 p.m., friends, games and fun
and mud in Hardin Field. Don't miss
the ^ames and fun and mud.

And then, and then at 8 p.m.,
friends, a movie. Ray Bradbury's
The Illustrated Man makes a moving
picture out ot tattooes, ice cream from
our good neighbors, Baskin-Robbins .

All Canpus -Weekend! Don't miss it,
don't miss it friends. Step right
up! Step right up! Hurree, hurree!!

the show, yet to begin, featured
only Hargis' college choir, The
All-American Kids, along with a
slide -show message about Ameri-
can Christian College.

Produced with a quality re-
miniscent of high school skits
of yesteryear, the All -American
Kids ' segment began with the
spotlight directed stage left
in front of the closed curtain
at a tan, well-groomed All-
American boy tuning a 1930 's style
console radio (the kind that used
to broadcast news about Huey) .
The curtains opened for the choir's
first song, (Why, one wonders, was
the 24 -member choir backed by a
recording of a choir, played in-
conspicuously?) Albert E. Brumley's
1927 hit 'Turn Your Radio On,"
to reveal a large, nostalgic
backdrop featuring a red, white
and blue cottage nestled between
tall country trees and a serene
mountain lake, with a manicured
yard punctuated by a huge orna-
mental statue bearing the inscrip-
tion "BJH/ACC" (Billy James Hargis/
American Christian College) . The
choir's entire program of religious
and patriotic music was sung, in
spirit, by that mountain lakeside,
directed to a younger, happier
America.

Dr. Billy James Hargis, boast-
ing an LL.D. degree from Bob Jones
University, is described in promo-
tional literature as an educator
(as president of American Christian
College, est. 1970), a missionary
leader (as founder of the David
Livingstone Missionary Foundation,
with orphanages in Korea, India
and Mexico, and leprosy villages in

STOR THIEF!!

THIEVERY ON CAMPUS

by Jeff Daiell
"If ever I should leave you... it
wouldn't be in summer..." just somehow
wasn't in vogue this year as quite a few art-
icles of personal and public property on
the Centenary campus bid adieu to their
owners with the aid of unknown - - and un-
loved- -parties .

To get the facts, I talked with the Col-
lege's Comptroller, James Allen.

Among the articles purloined were Dr.
Beck's typewriter, featuring German char-
acters (now who would need a machine like
that? ) ; Dr. Pledger's typewriter, one of
DrTTterton's calculators (two were orig-
inally reported missing; one was subse-
quently rediscovered after apparently having
been merely misplaced); a cabinet section,
antique, from the library attic (although
that particular piece of furniture may have
been pilfered earlier); the CONGLOMERATE'S
photo enlarger (the unkindest cut of all,
you dastardly knave, whoever you may be!) ;
an ancient air conditioningwindow

an ancient air conditioning window unit
from Colonial; and a color TV from the
lobby of Rotary. Vandalized were coke
machines in Hardin, Mickle, and Rotary, and,
of course, the lobby of James Dorm suffer-
ed an attack by some egg -throwing and drape -
ripping blackguards.

Since so much of the bethefted mater-
ial was getting on in years, it has been im-
possible to set a current cash value of the
goods. Centenary carries no theft insur-
ance; such a program would be a bad bargain
for the school, as the premiums would by all
odds heavily outweigh the losses.

Apparently, this filching is a recur-
rent problem, but, this being Mr. Allen's
second year only, he could not supply the
CONGLOMERATE with details of past thievery.

As for some of the problems in reducing
or preventing theft, he listed the over-
abundance of keys floating about the campus,
not all of which carry either written,
coded, or constructional prohibitions against
reproduction. And, while there is really
no way of determining it, it is possible that
the school needs more than just one Secu-
rity man on duty at the same time. Then, too,
many people- -too many --are forgetful about
locking up.

Mr. Allen stressed, and stressed heav-
ily, that the above-mentioned nefarious
misdeeds were perpetrated over an extend-
ed period of time; although a noncontex-
tual perusal of the list may scare one into
th inking that the College is an easy target
for banditti, actually it is not. Even so,
he is considering courses of actions. One
is a daytime watchman for weekends, especial-
ly summer weekends . He has other plans und-
er advisement as well.

Unfortunately, he noted, things could
get worse before they get better. With crime
in general rising, it seems only natural that
attempts to victimize Gentland will increase
as well. Seeing that those attempts prove
futile and counterproductive is one of Mr.
Allen's several duties, and he is this very
moment mobilizing his resources to insure
success .

Visitation Halted at TCU

Bob F. Neeb, director of residential
living and housing at Texas Christian
University in Fort Worth, has suspended
dormitory visitation until further notice.

The oral order affects all campus
residential units, although only two
dormitories were carrying out visitation
procedures .

In a telephone conversation with
John C. Huntley, director of one of the
dormitories, Neeb stated that a period
of reevaluation was necessary to better
coordinate the visitation program. He
said freshmen and new students were in
special need of orientation to university
policy.

Dormitory students, describing them-
selves as perplexed by the sudden re-
vocation of the standard visitation guide-
lines, have written and submitted a new
proposal to axfcninistration officials.

The Louisiana State Police have estab-
lished an Internal Affairs Section to pro-
vide a central office concerned strictly
with investigating complaints against
officers and employees of the Division.

The next Senate meeting will be at
10:40 Thursday. Senate Prexy Rick Clark
announces a new office, SUB room 206; new
office hours (9-12 a.m. MWF) , and new

Everybody congratulate Patsy Searcy,
Centenary freshman. She's won the annual
Allums-Mims Scholarship granted by the
Southern Literary Club for outstanding high
school achievement and other academic honors
as well as pleasantness and general good
deeds.

All girls interested in trying out
for Pom-Pom/Cheerleaders, come to the
Dome next Tuesday, September 26 at the

plaining what is going on. This is not
a tryout, just a meeting to get ready
for the tryouts.

Freshmen who took tests on August 26
may come for int rep re tat ions on October
3rd and 10th at 10:40 a.m., Rm. 114
Mickle Hall.

Mrs. Harriet Turner, a candidate for
the Caddo Parish School Board, will ten-
tatively address the Centenary SLTA on
Thursday, September 28 at 3:45 p.m. in
room 02 of ftickle Hall. This former
"Educator of the Year" has taught history
at Fair Park High School and has served
as a coordinator for the ShreveDort
schools. At Thursday's meeting she will
discuss some of the problems of a secon-
dary education teacher in addition to her
platform for the School Board Election.

Med Library Available

Mayo Drake, the Librarian for the L.S.U.
Medicial School in Shreveport, has an-
nounced that .the facilities of the fled
School Library are open to Centenary stu-
dents and faculty. On the basis of a period
of successful trial service last year, Mr.
Drake has agreed to continue to provide
library materials on medicine and related
sciences to Centenary when the needed mat-
erials are not available at Centenary Libr-
ary.

Access to these materials is through the
regular interlibrary loan services provided
by the Green Gold Library System. Centen-
ary students and faculty may also go direct-
ly to the Med School Library in search of
the materials that they need.

Except for materials in heavy use, the
Med School Library will lend books and
similar materials to holders of valid
Centenary I.D. Cards. As an added conven-
ience, books borrowed from the Med School
Library may be returned to the Centenary
Library for transmission to the fled School
via the Green Gold Library System Book van.

The Med School Library is located
roughly on the site of old Fort Humbug. In
more modem terminology, the address is the
Basement of the Veterans Administration
Hospital at 510 East Stoner, a delight-
ful scenic location on the bluff that over-
looks the Red River just east of Youree
Drive.

Yearbook Improvements

by Marc Sargent

When last year's YONCOPIN (the Cent-
enary yearbook) rolled off the presses
and into the hands of waiting Gents,
there were voices raised in the land--
voices which claimed that the pictures were
repetitive and that the volume lacked pro-
fessional flair. After talking with last
year's YONCOPIN Editor (who is Editor again
this year), reasons for last year's short-
comings and hopes for this year came
through .

Susan Bell told me that she felt her
staff last year lacked the needed ex-
perience and help required to cover Cent-
enary events and personalities and trans-
late it all into a really professional
year book.

However, she indicated that the out-
look for this year's YONCOPIN is very good.
This year the staff has the experience and
the help to put a truly good publication
into the hands of the student body.

Naturally, neither Ms. Bell nor anyone
else has any idea of what the YONCOPIN
will contain, but she promises complete
coverage of the year. So get ready, she
admonished, for an excellent YONCOPIN.

Teague Tours Europe

William C. Teague, Adjunct professor
of music here at Centenary, spent this
summer touring Europe, where he played
organ concerts in England, Germany,
Austria, the Netherlands, and France.

He gave three concerts in England
including one at Westminster Abbey, site
of British Coronations. Two Teague con-
certs came in Belgium, including on on a
national holiday when his audience included
many municipal officials.

Germany saw him give four concerts, in-
cluding one utilizing an organ used by the
great Bach himself.

Two thousand people listened to Mr.
Teague »s recital in Austria, and in Holland
he performed one of his two concerts on the
world's most famous organ, made in France
in 1773. His biggest thrill was a concert
before a packed crowd of 6,000 at France's
Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris .

There were difficulties, of course.
Some of his organs were built before the
introduction of black keys, a condition
which necessitated special music.

Mr. Teague 's tour was facilitated by
the Annual Hemenway Grant to a Centenary
faculty member for summer study. Details
on the grant program are available from
Dean Marsh.

Dr. Schweitzer

WILLSON LECTURER

Dr. George K. Schweitzer, Professor of
Chemistry for the university of Tennessee,
will be this semester's first speaker in the
Willson Lecture Series Thursday, September
28th, at 10:40 a.m. in the Chapel.

Dr.* Schweitzer will lecture on "The
Cosmic Drama", a theme reflecting an attempt
to view Man in his environments from the
perspectives of science, philosophy, and
religion.

Dr. Schweitzer, holder of a Phi Beta
Kappa key, is no stranger to the lecture
hall, having been a guest at over 300 col-
leges and universities across the U.S.A.
A specialist in photoelectron spectroscopy
and molecular orbital theory, he lias been
named Alumni Distinguished Service Pro-
fessor of Chemistry at UT, and has authored
over 100 papers concerned with inorganic
and nuclear chemistry.

Dr. Schweitzer is thus a man honored
among his own , and represents a valuable
addition to the V.ill:>on program.

Librarian Leaving

Anne Trickett, the Acquisitions Librarian,
has resigned effective September 30, because
of the ill health of her mother. During
her five years at the Centenary Library,
Mrs. Trickett worked first as a reference
assistant and since 1969, as the librarian
in charge of library acquisitions and related
financial records . Her work includes the
checking of catalogs and the ordering of
books requested by the faculty, students, and
library staff. She also preoares the oay
roll for student assistants at the Library.
Mrs. Trickett completed her masters degree
in library science at T.W.U. in Denton,
Texas in the summer of 1971. In the words
of President Allen, her departure from the
Library is much regretted.

The nresent Cataloguing Assistant, Ella
Edwards, will succeed Mrs. Trickett at the
acquisitions desk. Mrs. Edwards has been
with the Lib rary since 1969. Her snecial
interests include Louisiana history and
a very active membership in the Bayou
Chanter of the Ozark Society. She has been
spending her recent summers at L.S.U. in
Baton Rouge doing course work for a masters
degree in library science, which she should
comnlete next year. Mrs. Edwards will contin-
ue to be available on a regular schedule
each week to assist students and faculty
in the use of the Library.

Last May the Rivertown(e) Players elected
a new slate of officers. They are as follows:
Bob Hickman, nresident; Doug Wilson, vice-
president; Jodi Glorioso, secretary -treasurer;
and Cece Russell, publicity chairman.

The Rivertown(e) Players was originally
formed as the "Jongleurs," but during the
school year of 1969-1970, they reorganized
their efforts and changed their name.
Annual functions now include a baseball game
nlayed each soring against the choir and an
Awards Banquet at Vhich recognition is given
for outstanding performances and achievements
accomplished during the year. Each person
who works in any capacity for two shows dur-
ing the season is invited to join.

Bob Hickman and Doug Wilson seemed to be
quite ontimistic when I discussed the up-
coming programs and ideas for Rivertown(e)
Players this year. Both see the organization
as "a social outlet with a possibility for
service." Bob, who is the technical director
and stage manager for Rosencrantz and
Huildenstern are Dead views Rive rt own (e)
PI avers as a method for a non -major "to
look inside the theatre." Bob is a business
major.

Ideas that were brought to my attention
during our conversation included weedend
movies, Halloween and Christmas narties,
sponsoring trios to Dallas and other areas
to see nlays, and working in conjunction
with elderly citizens in ShreveDort.

"Rivertownfe") Players," according to
Bob, "is orimarily student -oriented and
student run." The first meeting to be
held this semester is planned for 12:00
noon, Sat. , Sent. 23.

The cast and crew has been announced for
Take y \e to the Treasure . Teddy Drew will
be portrayed by Dan Christ iaens. Jerry
Benefiel will take the part of the villian,
Bad Bart. Princess Telmeetru will be played
by Susie Gates and ftadame Flouncebustle
will be portrayed by Cece Russell. The
properties chairman is Barbie Goetz, and
Mary Ann Barr will undertake the job of
costume and make-up chairman. Jodi
dlorioso will be the assistant director of
this show, and Mr Robert R. Buseick will
be the director.

Port Players has announced its new slate
of officers for the 1972-73 theater season.

Fleeted president was Arnie Abramson,
who was seen in the last Port production, "I
Never bang for My Father."

Other officers are Sig Spitzer, first
vice president; Bob Weimar, second vice
president; Wesley At t away, secretary, and
Austin Roberston Jr., treasurer.

Three*y e ar board members are 'targaret
Glenn, Robertson, Jim Wilhite, Weimar and
Bob Benjamin. Those board members serving
one -vcar terms are Abramson and John Peak. j

"LITTLE BOY BLU£" PARODY

To the Editor:

The little old college is red with rurt,
But sturdy and staunch it stands.
The little old books are covered with dust;
The librarians sit on their hands.

Time was when the college was alive,
And the students were passing fair;
But that was the time before Allen arrived
And climbed on the President's chair.

"Now no late-visitation," blandly he said,
"And don't you make any noise."
So toddling off to his trundle bed,
He dreamt of the Board and their Ploys.

But when he awoke the students had gone,

Beckoned by things that were new.

Oh, the years are many, and the years are

long,

But Allen and Board are still true.

Faithful to old ideals they stand,
Each in his same old place,
Awaiting the touch of a student's hand
And the smile of a student's face.

And they wonder as they stand there the

long years through

In the void of Hamilton Hall,

If late-visitation and ideas that were new

Were really so bad after all.

Sincerely,

Hertha

students had expressed dissatisfaction.
Alas, though, after one academic year,
the faith of the students in this "chan-
nel of communication" was shot down as
these rules were arbitrarily discarded.
Why? lVhat was the major factor in this
wholesale removal of rules which proved
workable and satisfying to those concerned.

The current housing contract states
that "no need for opposite sex visitation
has been established." Certainly, the
need must have been established before
President Allen approved the original
hours. Why, all of a sudden, does Cen-
tenary College presume there is no
need? The parents are certainly important
members of this controversy. Why was
their intelligence insulted by first al-
lowing dorm visitation hours for one year
and then, after the fact, asking them
if they thought it was all right? Why
did the hours listed for their approval
not include the hours of 1971-72? Those
original hours were a compromise between
the students and the administration.
Supposedly, the current arrangement is
also a compromise, but in actuality all
that has been compromised is the student's
trust in the original agreement.

The current visitation is the least
workable "arrangement" imaginable. During
the hours 3-5 p.m., that is one of the
primary times that students are showering
and dressing before going to dinner.
What of those students who have labs to
5 p.m.? They are denied even the limited
arrangement offered now on those days.
Under the current rules, the guests are
required to sign in. Seldom in the men's
dorms is a R.A. there at the desk. Some-
times the sign -in sheet is there, sometimes
it's on the floor and sometimes it's who
knows where. On Labor Day the college
treated the day as a holiday in almost
every aspect. The library was closed
during the day. At noon the SUB was
still locked. However, there was no pro-
vision made for a change in the visitation
hours for that day to even those offered
on Friday (3-10 p.m.) Those facilities
that are so glibly referred to as sub-
stitutes for visitation were for the
most part closed. Certainly some memo from
Mt. Olympus high atop Hamilton Hall could
have given visitation 'holiday" status, too,
but none was forthcoming.

Therefore, due to the manner in which
the original hours of 1971-72 were charged
and due to the unworkability and unpopularity
of the current hours, I request the re-
institution of the visitation hours of 1971-
72.

Resoectfully yours,
Jeffrey R. Alexander

RIDE ON, CENTENARY

To the Editor:

As a transfer student from SMU, I have
found Centenary to be an interesting chal-
lenge for twelve hours a week. By chance,
I am also being allowed to witness, for
a second time, young adults struggling for
the right to do as they please. (Never
understanding the first time why this
"right" had to be earned or gained.)

As a freshman, liberal visistation be-
came a reality. Maximum hours (12-12 Sun-
Th., 12-2 Fr. § Sat.) were allowed to us
by the Trustees and Chancellor Tate, to
be voted upon by individual dorm floors .
To the surprise of no one (except, perhaps,
the shock of the WCTU) maximum hours were
accepted unanimously. Of course, orgies
were everywhere and studying became a
thing of the past. Of course.

Second semester came to pass along with
a demand for removal of girl's hours. In
the ingenious way that seems to belong sole-
ly to Trustees, a solution was presented.
Girls could have no hours with parental
permission. Surely the parents would not
permit. Surely they did.

To Dr. Allen I have a solution. (My
apologies for any lack of ingenuity.)
Let us build a seperate dorm for those
students wishing no visitation and strict
hours. With the 6 to 8 rooms needed due
to the obviously predictable high demand
for this facility, we could surely raise the
funds needed by charging admission to the
orgies being held in the other dorms. Of
course .

Ride on, Centenary. It's a nice place
to visit, but who would want to live there?

SPECTRE HAUNTS CAMPUS

To the Editor:

A spectre is haunting Centenary,
the spectre of open visitation. There
has been a great deal of controversy
over whether or not it will be rein-
troduced. Charges and counter- charges
have been made, bordering on election
year polemics. Quite often one hears
the question, "Why visistation?"
asked by its opponents. There are
reasons .

Visitation benefits not only
students but also the college.
With Centenary's sagging enrollment and
its sometime misguided efforts to make
things more attractive (E.G., music
in the cafeteria) , an added freedom
cannot help but induce many prospective
freshmen. One wonders how many new
students were looking forward to
visitation only to find it virtually
non-existent .

The entire necessity for visitation
has been questioned, on the grounds
that people have not had it before,
therefore it should not exist now. May
I point out that penicillin, airplanes
and radio didn't exist for millions of
years; is that a reason to abolish them?

With tuition and other costs up
every year and very little increase in
services, the administration can surely
allow more social freedom. The way
hours are currently arranged deprives
those with afternoon courses, E.G. labs,
of visitation rights. A wall in the
middle of the SUB hardly makes it a
more attractive place for social inter-
action. Open visitation entails no
extra costs and will greatly enrich
college life.

If not the dorms, then where else
do we go? After 10 pm, the SUB is
closed. Murrell 's gets very tiring
and expensive, as does the Pizza King,
the Carousel and } if one is luckv
<enough to have a car, Baskin-Robbins .

Hill Falls Down

CONGLOMERATE staffers this week have been
given orders to apprehend and bring to jus-
tice the abiquitous Sam Hill, author of last
week's article regarding the school cafeter-
ia. It seems ol ' Sam made a goof, and a big
one. Two, for that matter.

First, the increase in the price of a mea
ticket this term is due to inflation, and
anticipation of a boost in the Federally-
fiated minimum wage, and was anticipated
as long ago as last year's Catologue. The
planned iiiiprovements played no part in the
raise.

Second, Mr. James Allen, Centenary comp-
troller, did not say that "few" students
would partake of caf victuals if not so
compelled. Actually, Mr. Allen used the
expression "considerably fewer" students
would purchase meal tickets.

Don't Forget!

We haven't! We are still working on
our Special recruiting fund. Your
donations help, but we still need
more! Any contribution, large or
small is greatly appreciated. Please
friends , we depend on you .

According to Gentlemanly Speaking
the school is here to develop "students
as moral, intelligent, responsible
members of an academic community..."
(p. 15). How is this to be done if
we are not entrusted with free choices?
There is no moral development if we
are kept from choice, only moral
conditioning. Just this summer the
State of Louisiana recognized 18-21-
year-olds as adults, as Centenary
un- recognized the same group.

Coed Dorms and Such

by Cherry Payne

"When is the last time anyone
heard of a panty raid? Like
segregation by sex, it symbo-
lizes a mentality thoughtful
college students deplore. It
is the polarization of the
sexes, the cat-and-mouse game,
the fraternity's Saturday night
extravaganza . " — Reader's Digest ,
FEB. 1970 "When College Dorms
Go Co-Ed . "

The advent of the 1972-73 school year
has brought with it something that we at
Centenary College (appropriately nick-
named Contented College) have rarely
exDerienced in the form of serious dis-
cord between t\\e adninist ration and stu-
dents . The issue which has been the
catalyst for the present conflict began
last summer with President Allen's de-
cision to cut back on open dorm visi-
tation hours. Presently, we find the
students quite disturbed about the
whole situation and expressing their
opinions by means of letters, im-
promptu demonstrations, name calling
and that old campus ritual known as
"The Panty Raid." The students are
accosting the faculty in an attempt to
gain their support. The faculty seems
caught in the middle of the situation
and thus far the only definite response
has been I. D. G. A. D. , which perhaps,
is the stand they should take.

Consequently, a little research into
the attitudes upon other campuses of
similar situations seems appropriate.
While I was unable to uncover how schools
dealt with these issues, I was able to
find arguements, both pro and con re-
lating to this situation.

In the October 1970 issue of School
and Society there appears a statement
made by Dr. John Anthony Brown, presi-
dent of the Lindenwood Colleges in St.
Charles, Missouri. The statement was
made in response to student requests
for intervisitation privileges in stu-
dent rooms and was issued to the student
body on December 19, 1969. While I
personally disagree with some of Dr.
Brown's arguements, I found them most
interesting particularly in light of our
own situation at Centenary.

Dr. Brown begins his argument by
explaining there are two problems to be
solved in relation to the issue. The
first is, who decides the issue, while
the second is what the decision should
be. He then states that in some
questions the majority rule is not
sufficient, but requires what he calls
the right decision (this approach seems
to bring to mind Dr. Allen's stand on
the drinking issue, which most students,
at leas seem to feel was unsatisfactory).

Following these preliminary statements,

there are six points made, which I shall
list briefly (but not without some edito-
rial comments) :

1. Because of the wide diversity
of opinion, no campus -wide agree-
ment is possible (as evidenced by
the petition of two weeks ago,
this is not the case at Centenary) .

2. Because of the smallness of
the campus the freedom of one group
becomes an invasion of privacy for
another group (it should be noted
here that there are areas within
the dormitories at Centenary which
do not enjoy visitation privileges).

3. The college must "confront
change fearlessly" and realize that
it is impossible to separate academic
and social freedoms.

4. However, if the college wishes
to remain relevant it must not
feel that what is done on the cam-
pus is "their own affair."

5. The "right" decision is the
one which ultimately works in
favor of the mission of the col-
lege (at this point a list of
attitudes regarding the "New Mora-
lity" and sexual practices of
students is made) .

6. The mission of the college in
an age of social change must be
determined.

Finally, a statement of the mission
of the college is made, which, in effect
states that the college must:

A. make a "realistic and honest
response to educational needs of
this generation,"

B. embark upon a "program of
examination working toward solu-
tions to current social and intel-
lectual issues,"

C. make an "...investigation of
the changes of our times rather
than a drifting with the tide..."

A concluding statement is then made
in which Dr. Brown turns down the stu-
dent's request, as he feels that inter-
visitation would create. ..".. .a style
of life on this campus which would
defeat us in our mission."

I agree with a few of Dr. Brown's
arguments but I must strongly disagree
with his conclusion. For he seems to
base his whole argument upon what he
feels would be the consequences of
such a move on the college campus with
regard to sexual attitudes and prac-
tices. This seems to be precisely
the point at which the students and
adninist rat ion of Centenary differ.
Perhaps other articles discussing co-
educational dormitories will eliminate
some of these prevalent fears con-
cerning sexual habits (co-ed dorms are
Irr ught in here because there seenTto
be no other articles discussing open
visitation, probably because it is

simply not a hot enough issue in the
scope of American society to warrant
much attention at the national level) .

In the September 23, 1969 issue
of Look magazine there appears an
article entitled "Co-ed Living" by
Betty Rollins. Ms/Rollins did her
research at Stanford University,
particularly at the house of a co-ed
fraternity, Lambda Nu. She noted that
a "...familiarity of a certain kind,
particularly in group, breeds non-
romantic friendship." In other words,
when students live together they think
twice about having sex together. Ad-
mittedly, if the old visitation hours
are returned we will not be living
together, but the dormitories, it seems,
will take on a more natural air ( once
again) in which students learn to relate
to one another as persons and not sex
objects. A Standford psychologist,
Dr. Joseph Katz, has made a state-
ment along these lines which he calls
the "incest taboo." "In a curious way
co-ed living deemphasizes sex. When a
boy sees a girl every day, she becomes
less of a sex object and more of a
friend. When a boy lives close to a
girl, the consequences of his actions
are there. So he is more prudent." Per-
haps this statement is no justification
for open visitation as such, but it
certainly seems to justify any move the
college may make in that direction.

In another article which appears
in Reader's Digest (February, 1970),
Martha Lear states "Segregation by
sex is considered irrelevant and un-
natural by today's students .. .Co-ed
housing provides a much more natural
environment." By, natural she means
that brother-sister relationships form
and students seem to take on a larger
group of friends. If this is the case, how
could intervisitation create a life-style
which would prevent the college from carry-
ing out its missions, as Dr. Brown seems
to feel?

Perhaps it is time for all of us here
at Centenary to embark upon some intro-
spection and decide exactly what the role
of the college is both from the stand-
point of the students and the community.
Hopefully, from this experience both
individuals and the college community
will have been fulfilling at least some
of its mission, regardless of what the
ultimate decision concerning this issue is.
Finally, I openly admit that all of my
arguments presented have, in no way
been unbiased, but I find it difficult to

THE CONGLOMERATE

Page Seven

by Jeff Daiell

It isn't easy, you understand, to come
back after being firebombed, but that's
Exactly what Dominic Cangelosi and his wife
Robin have done with their little shoo, cal-
led Leatherhead, on Highland near King's
Highway (across from Safeway) .

With Pfeffer, a longhaired dog, as
Cangelose pointed out wryly, Dominic and
Jtobin have been in business in the little
purple shop for two years and two months.

The store began strictly as a leathergoods
store, but eventually expanded and evolved
into a l1 head shop." Now it carries posters,
pipes, patches, paraphernalia and other
particularly and patently pleasing parcels,
as well as leather goods.

Things started slowly, Dominic remembers,
but now business has picked up and gathered
a full head of steam, although the store
experiences a drop when school begins again.
Business is good enough, he noted, for him
and Robin to look for a new location, this
one to be used strictly for leather,
posters, and clothes; Dominic says a lot
of people avoid Leatherhead because of the
presence of his pipes. This way, he says,
he can cater to both types of markets, head
and non-head. Or, in other words, you
really can have your pot and smoke it, too.

The hisiness is fun, says Dominic, who had
previous business experience and who went into
Leatherhead more for monetary than philosophi-
cal reasons, but it can also be some head-
aches, with occasional flashes of unreques-
ted excitement % Headaches and excitement
have included being arrested by the
Shreveport police- -freedom's first line of
defense- -for the high crime against the
commonweal of posting an .American flag with
a peace symbol instead of stars in the blue
union. And, of course, there was that fire-
bombing, by a local sentinel of democracy,
which cost Leatherhead over $1,000 in stock,
plus the inestimable loss in labor and men-
tal work that went into the leather goods
consumed by the flames of righteous
indignation.

Despite the harassments and outbursts of
unprovoked hatred, Dominic and Robin
have, as I said, come back strong. They're
looking forward to dealing with all the
Gents who like visiting unusual and excit-
ing shops.

Things are quieter now, for Dominic,
Robin, and Pfeffer. Things have calmed down,
and even Shreveport, U.S.A., the city on the
Grow, seems to have accepted the little
lavender, and pleasant -smelling shop called
Leatherhead.

Korea), a tour leader ("approximately 4,000
go on his Holy Land tours annually" at
$700 a trip for the latest one) , and the
"subject of at least 12 major biographies
by well-known authors and from leading
publishers." , ...

Hargis is wrapped very tightly within
the folds of America's active right wing,
as shown by the membership list of the
Board of Regents of his college, which
begins at "A" for Tom Anderson, rightwmg
humorist and running -mate of American
Party Presidential candidate John Schmitz,
and ends at "IV" for former generals Edwin
Walker (of Ole Miss Riot and John Birch
Society literature -to -the -troops fame)
and Clyde Watts .

Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) , the
nation's best -known conservative youth
organization, for many years shied away from
association with Hargis crusades, but
recently has become more willing. One
YAF leader, ex-c ommun ist PhilliD Abbott
Luce, now appears at Hargis' Christian
Crusade functiors.

The Kids withdrew from the stage for a
few minutes while the slides of the college
were shown, then returned, for a second
round of songs with a new addition to the
folksy lakeside backdrop: a huge Jesus
Poster plastered between the cottage and
the lake.

An hour had passed; the time for Billy
James Hargis to appear was upon us . The
spot centered on the poster face of Jesus,
the Kids sang, "Jesus, Jesus, there's
something about that name." Ladies and
Gentlemen, Billy James Hargis.

Hargis is not Huey. Yes, he did take
his coat off (donning it again for a few
minutes when the CONGLOMERATE approached
the stage for a photo) , but he continued
to wear his tie. In speaking, he slurs
his words, adding an element of uncer-
tainty to his presence, and he refrains
from table -pounding, high decibel counts,
or wild motions .

Apologetic, Hargis noted the heat
verbally and with periodic handkerchief
face-patting, and he announced the pre-
sence in the crowd of a friend named Billy
Frank and State "Senator Harold Montgomery.

His message, lasting fifty minutes,
flitted over Jesus and politics to come
to rest on disarmament and the recently
ratified Moscow Treaty which "may well
have been the finish of the American
dream."

Needless to say, speechifying and
fundraising finished, the rally ended
with a rousing patriotic finale, with
the Kids charging into the hot audito-
rium from the rear carting flags of the
fifty states, planting them onstage,
and singing (or singing -along with the
recording) "America" and similar songs
as a huge flag unfurled. The American
one, of course.

In the following interview, Hargis
discusses his religious beliefs, YAF
and his other political associations,
ex-evangelist Marjoe Gortner (subject
of a new film reviewed in this CON-
GLOMERATE) , and other subjects.

CONGLOMERATE: Dr. Hargis, do you face
much antagonism when you bring your
message, your fundamental message, to
cities the size of Shrevenort and
larger?

HAPRIS: Of course you're not likely to
face the antagonism in the South that
I do in the East. For instance,
I've held rallies, like, right in
auditoriums right on Broadway, in
Chicago, and Philadelphia and those
nlaces, and you do face antagonism
there. It's not unusual for them to
picket and to have demonstrations,
and there for a while they'd even try
to break up the meetings. The real
so-called athiestic revolutionary would
come in and start problems, that's why
we had to start charging admission, to
be honest with you. We charge a very
small admission- -just a dollar--but
that kind of keeps out the guys who
come to make trouble...

I read an article this weekend that
was very interesting about .Terry Pub in
at the Democratic convention. Seems like
ther% were some Jesus people that were in
that nark where all the rest of the
demonstrators were. They had a little

amplifier and they were giving their
testimony and singing Gospel songs, and
Jerry Rubin broke up the meeting and some
black boy came along and said "I thought
you were for free speech." You know, he
was with Rubin, he wasn't with the Jesus
people, and he said "I thought we were
for free speech. We're free to speak,
why can't these people talk?" But I found
out that some of the radical , real
radical leftist kids , their idea of free
speech is freedom to say what they want to
say but not allow anyone else to say it.
CONGLOMERATE: One ex -fundamentalist preach-
er named Marjoe Gortner has been making
the late night TV rounds claiming that
many of the fundamentalists are in it
for the money.
HARGIS: Well, Marjoe 's got a problem.

Marjoe. . .
CONGU>*EPATE : Did you know him?
HARGIS: Oh yeah. No, I've met him once.
Marjoe was exploited by his parents,
that's the unfortunate thing. They made
him a preacher when he was four, a
Pentecostal preacher, and he was marrying
people, holding revivals, and then he
became disillusioned with his parents as
he grew up. They got a divorce, his mother
remarried and this soured him on religion.
Then Marjoe went the communal living route,
he joined a hippie commune.
[Editor's Note: Portions of this para-
graph have been deleted due to possible li-
belous content; we were unable to contact
Mr. Gortner for verification or denial.]

This guy tried to make a comeback. He
tried to get back in the Pentecostal,
churches. They were smart enough to see
through him and so he couldn't get a
place to preach, he couldn't get an
audience anywhere, so therefore he sold
to the highest bidder. It's interesting
to note that the same bird that has been
the chief financial backer of George Mc-

Above, Dr. Billy
James Hargis .
Left, little old
ladies peruse
propaganda.

Govern is the chief financial backer of
f tar j oe .

CONGLOffEPATE : Who r s that?

HAGGIS: The California computer millionaire
who^s made a hundred million dollars,
that put the first money, big money into
McGovem's campaign, financed the film of
Marjoe, and Marjoe has just sold to the
highest bidder. I tar joe now wants to be
an actor, and of course the reason he's
making the rounds on the late-night
movies is that he's sensational, and
they're looking for ratings and so forth.

Some of the things that he's said are
pure blasphemy, such as the statement that
the blood of Chirst is just so much gar-
bage. He said that on the Dick Cavett
show. But I haven't attacked Marjoe by
name and I'll tell you why--because I
don't want to give him the publicity.

Right now this film is just showing
in a few camp centers like Los Angeles,
and when I say camp you know what I mean,
New York and Dallas, and it's not a
publicly accented film. It's not show-
ing in the little cinemas in Lake Charles
or Baton Rouge or something, you know, so
I don't see any sense in giving him the
nublicity.

He wrote me a letter and said that God
made him do it, and said he wanted me
to understand that God made him do this
film, and I think he was trying to kind
of needle me into a fi^ht or something.
I'm not gonna get involved because he's
just a little opportunist that's trying

to make a buck.

CONGLOMERATE : What would you say to some of
the Bible professors who say some of the
same things he said, that the blood of
Christ is not that important? They don't
hold fundamental beliefs.

HARGIS: They are students of higher

criticism. Well I say to them they're
doing more harm than Marjoe. Marjoe 's
not going to undermine anybody's faith
in God or Jesus Christ, but these
theological liberals will.

Young kid comes from a fundamental
church like a Southern Baptist Church or
a Southern Methodist Church or a Christian
Ghurch- -Church of Christ --and he comes to
one of these schools. The Virgin Birth's
attacked, Blood Atonement's attacked- -
these are the birds can do the harm. And
of course I think that the people that sup-
port these theological schools should be
concerned as to what the theological pro-
fessors believe.

CONGLOMERATE : There's a huge split in the
conservative camp between people like
William Buckley and National Review , and
the John Birch Society, the Liberty Lobby,
Ayn Rand objectivists . How do you stand?
Some people have said that Buckley's
National Review is not conservative. Do
you hold to that?

HARGIS: No, not at all. Bill Buckley's about
as conservative as they come. He's a so-
phisticated conservative, but he's still
conservative. I look at him like this:
He's reaching some people I'd never reach.
On the other hand I 'm reaching some
people he'd never reach. On the other
hand Carl Mclntyre is reaching some
people I would never reach.

Let me straighten the record. Liberty
Lobby is nothing. Liberty Lobby is a
little paper organization. They don't
have any rallies or legitimate membership;
they don't even have any legitimate
activities. I wouldn't even classify
them as a legitimate conservative group.
It's just kind of a promotional organiza-
tion.

But Mclntyre is certainly legitimate
and Ayn Rand is certainly legitimate, al-
though Ayn and I are poles apart. She's
an athiest, and I'm very much an orthodox
Christian.

CONGLOMERATE: What about the charges?
You're in it for the money, you're not
really an anti -communist , you just want
to get your dollar- a-head when people
come to town, and run out again. What do
you say to that?

HARGIS: Oh, I don't say anything. I've
been in it for twenty-six years. I
started Christian Crusade twenty years
ago, and obviously they were based on two
principles, faith and free enterprise,
and if the people didn't feel I was
sincere, they wouldn't support me.

I rise and fall by the reaction of the
people, just like Coca Cola or Pepsi Cola
or Ford Motor Company or General Motors.
If I don't deliver the goods, people aren't
goint to support me.

CONGLOMERATE: I believe it was your vice-
president, David Noebel , who wrote a book
which stirred up a lot of controversy on
the Beatles and revolution.

HARGIS: Of course, everything he said

obviously is true because now they've come
out and admitted that they were Communists,
and they were and are on done. Every-
thing he charged, what, ten years ago has
been proven. By the way, that book's com-
ing out again. The original book was
called Rhythm, Riots and Revolution , and
it's being issued by a major publisher this
year, and it's being called the Marxist
?(instrels.

"Mar joe"

Marjoe's been preaching the gospel since
he was four years old.

We once saw his picture in an ancient
Life magazine. He was six, then, with perox-
ided curls and little white cowboy boots, per-
forming a marriage ceremony over a couple
who must have possessed either a trans -
cendant faith or a highly -developed media-
sense.

The name is derived from Mary and Joseph,
and Mar joe was the hottest thing on the Pent-
acostal circuit for a decade. He suspects
that he earned about three million dollars
during those years , though he never saw
most of it, his father having split with
the take. Abounding with outrageous de-
tails, Marjoe's story comes across as an-
other grotesque saga of person as product,
life as hype, slow death through merchandi-
zing.

But Marjoe endured. In his mid-teens
he refused to continue preaching, instead
bummed around, living a while with an older
woman whom he credits for much of his sanity.
He went back to preaching on his own at the
age -of twenty.

Now, some ten years later, he's sold his
hustle to the movies, featured in a docu-
mentary that attempts to expose the Holy
Roller racket- -a film that's a portrait of
the kind of show biz that allows pious America
to get it on and still be washed in the
blood of the lamb.

The movie follows Marjoe on his last tour,
through revival tents and marble temples,
through the singing and the stomping and the
backstage money -changing too. Intercut are
personal raps and confessions, and footage
from Marjoe's early preaching years --a
terrifying little automaton reciting hell-
fire by rote, but entirely* professional ,
Billy Graham speeded up to 78 rpm.

This documentary isn't much of an expose.
The largely simple-minded camera loves to
zoom in on crisp ten and twenty-dollar bills,
as though each appearance of filthy lucre
were a sordid and shocking revelation. There
There are also "serious" shots (Marjoe con-
templative) and more zooms ( a lighted joint
at a New York party, to symbolize big-
city sophistication; Coca-Cola at a pastor's
patio lunch, to stand for Middle -American
dreck . )

But Marjoe endures this too. For what-
ever his motives, sincere self -purgation or
a sharp sense of where the real action is
(or more probably, some freafcecT-out com-
bination) , he comes through as an extra-
ordinarily talented, magnetic, sexy, and
even likeable showman. With his Pierre
Cardin suits and Mick Jagger strut --he's
studied Jagger, and puts the act to better
use than we've ever seen on the rock and roll
stage--Marjoe performs miracles of audience
involvement. Middle-aged men and women dance
andsing, babble in tongues, and fall into
quivering orgasmic fits as they^Vneet JesuS
tonight."

There's still the hustle, though.
Directors and cameramen try to make us feel
sophisticated as we watch the marks get
taken- -the Jrip-dry, wash'n'wear, unhip, un-
elegant, bra- and -girdle, teased -haired, thick
glassed crowd who pay, and pay big, for Bro-
ther Marjoe's blessing. The filmmakers pro-
ject an unpleasant sense of superiority over
Marjoe's followers that stems, unfortunate-
ly, less from their being manipulated than
from their being unbeautitul and uncool .
This comes through in cameras that, are more
interested in grotesquerie than ecstasy,
that have little sympathy for spontaneous
emotional experience when it means flabby
upper arms and sagging bosoms in compulsive
rhytlims .

It's ironic too that filmmakers from a
generation that places such a premium on
self-expression, on actively getting it on,
should so need to distinguish between us and
them. Because, in fact, it looks like~thev f re
getting their money's worth at least as rally
as most rock audiences. Marjoe blesses,
clasps • grabs , touches his flock; if it's

THE CONGLOMERATE

consumerism, it's a less alienated brand of
consumerism than we saw among the unmoving,
glazed-eyed crowd on the hill at Woodstock.
And most important, Marjoe's people don't
pay in front. We plunk down, our $4.50 or
$5.50 to hear some watered-down stompin'
from Leon Russell, and it's just tough if
we don't get it on. Marjoe's congregants
don't pay until after the Spirit hits them.
At least they get to try before they buy.

Luckily the unsympathetic focus doesn't
destroy the film, perhaps because we're made
to feel that Marjoe has experienced some level
of rapport and affection for his congre-
gations. We may be suckers for his line,
just like his little old ladies, but we
believed it when he said he enjoyed getting
people to loosen up and have a good time--
that maybe he'd still be in the business if
he could have cut out the hell fire and damna-
tion parts. And they do loosen up: the
film is most exciting when we see people
in ecstasy, shuddering and crying, or smil-
ing and hugging. The spirit of Marjoe's
people comes through despite all odds.

Mountain

NANTUCKET SLEIGHRIDE

For Mountain, "Nantucket Sleigh-
ride" represents a tremendous achieve-
ment in the field of rock music. All of
the musicians have improved incredibly,
if that is possible, and have come forth
more than they had done on the group's
first album for Windfall, "Climbing".

Felix Pappalardi soars into action,
and plays some of the finest and most
intricate bass lines ever heard. His
mellow vocal style is a valuable asset
to the group and is contrasted sharply
with West's raspy singer voice. Along
with Pappalardi, drummer Corky Laing
propels the group with his explosive
rhythms and sets a blistering pace for
the others to follow. The screaming
guitar of Leslie West breaks the sound
barrier and rides high above the strong
foundation created by Pappalardi and
Laing. Steve Knight, on organ .and
piano, rounds out the group and weaves
intriguing melodies into and around the
music of the others.

Although each of the musicians play
very strongly and forcefully, they never
overpower. Contrary to what most people
think, jazz is based on improvisation
and not charted horn riffs. In this
respect, Mountain is much more of a jazz-
inclined group than other groups con-
taining a horn or reed section and who
play in a very disciplined manner. Moun-
tain plays loudly but not noisily.

Although all of the songs in the
album were found to be very enjoyable,
three were particular standouts. "Don't
Look Around" gets the album off to an
excellent start. This is a very fast
number and yet surprisingly, a flawless
one. The rhythm section of Pappalardi
and Laing never lag for a second and do
not let up until the very last note.
West turns in a good job on vocals and
his guitar work on this number is also
worth noting. On the title song, "Nan-
tucket Sleighride", Pappalardi does the
singing and does a particularly fine
job of it. Steve Knight uses his piano
and organ to blend with the vocals and
creates a very harmonious effect. There
are many changes in melody and rhythm
and these changes are made very smoothly
and require a lot of coordination bet-
ween musicians. "Nfy Lady" is a very re-
freshing and easy-going number. Pappa-
lardi sings this one also and is up to his
usual high standard. The vocal harmonies
on this song are exceptionally good.

This album is one of the finest
recordings made this year and it cer-
tainly deserves the attention of all of
you rock freaks out there, ^fountain is
a group of four musicians with an immense
amount of talent. With this album, a lot
of this talent is just coming to the sur-
face . This is only one step for Mountain
and they will undoubltedly surpass this
album in the very near future. But at
least for now, "Namtucket Sleighride" will
satisfy our needs for same really fine

Argent

ALL TOGETHER NOW

When Chris White and Rod Argent left the
Zombies, their talent followed. Finally,
after many searches , the two found peace in
a new group, Argent. (The band wanted this
name, because of Rod Argent's determination
and quality in his music.) Since they first
formed , they have cut three albums . The
most well known cut from the first album
was "Liar," a song that Russ Ballard (lead
guitarist) composed, and Three Dog Night
made a mint off of. From their second
album, Ring of Hands , Russ Ballard again
wrote a song that T.D.N, made a million from;
the song, currently on most stations, is
called "Chained."

"Hold Your Head Up" is their current hit,
and they are, strangely enough, the ones you
hear, instead of Three Dogs. "Hold Your
Head Up" is only a taste of the ability of
Argent, with Robert Henrit on drums and
Tim Rodford rounding out the 4 -man band.
The inside cover adequately describes Rod as
a perfectionist. He is just that. The
notes mix beautifully, due mainly to Chris
White's ability as a record producer (he
does the mixing of all the music).

"Keep on Rollin'" and "He's a Dynamo"
are the rock and roll boogie songs and are
consistently clean. The only song that may
tend to drag is "Pure Love," which has a
long organ solo (by Rod Argent) . It moves
drastically into a beautiful blues ride,
where Russ Ballard is at his best.

This could be classified as a "soft"
hard- rock album and is well worth listening
to. Argent has readied a new peak in music,
and will go on to attain new heights in
rock. As long as Chris White and Rod Argent
stick together. Give them a chance to
surround you with good music.

Black Oak Arkansas

BLACK OAK ARKANSAS

Being from Arkansas, I should be
backing a group like Black Oak, but I'm
not. This is an old album, their debut,
and have cut a few others. As for this
one album, there are only four redeeming
songs that are at best mediocre. "Uncle
Lijah" rocks, but the lead singer of the
group, Jim "Dandy" Mangrum, ruins the song
with his raspy voice (two levels below
Rod Stewart). The music in all of the
songs are well nlayed. representing the

ability of the group. "I Could Love
You" is the best, mainly because Mangrum
doesn't sing much. "Hot 'n Nasty" is
eood, like "When Electricity Came to
Arkansas," but neither makes the album
a sound investment.

The people contained in Black Oak
are doing one very good thing. With
some of their concert money, they are
purchasing guitars for the men and
women in the Arkansas prison system
(500 so far), and believe me, those
people in the prisons back home need
as much help as they possibly can
acquire. Maybe Black Oak Arkansas will
improve, because they certainly
cannot go anywhere but up. Without
Jim "Dandy," their music is super.

ANYONE FOR PREP FOOTBALL?

by Tom Marshall

O.K., your roommate's TV is on the blink
(but you didn't want to watch the tube any-
way) , your research paper's not due 'till
day after tomorrow so you don't really need
to start on that yet, you're tired of :
being counted three times an evening by the
librarian, and you certainly can't entertain
your date in your room. 'So what do you do?

Well, one possible alternative to sheer
boredom is hiqh school football. After all,
it hasn't been too long since you were a
high schooler. And it is a matter of fact
that there's some oretty good prep football
being played every weekend in Shreveport and
Bossier. And you won't suffer from lack of
selection, either -- this weekend there are
seven prep gridiron contests on tap at four
Shreveport -Bossier Stadiums.

Twelve years ago, there were only four
hi eh schools in Shreveport and Bossier City
-- Byrd, Fair Park, Bossier, and St. John's
(now Jesuit) . Since 1960, however, there's
been a great building boom to go x along with
increased student population. Starting
with Woodlawn in 1960, a total of nine new
high schools have opened. In addition to
those named above, the list now includes
Airline (Bossier), Booker T. Washington,
Captain Shreve, Parkway, Southwood, Bethune,
Green Oaks and Northwood.

With the new schools come new rivalries
--as well as the traditional ones that have
been around for years. Ever since the early
1900 's the Byrd Yellow Jackets-Fair Park
Indians clash was THE game of the year for
thousands of hiph school students. Remnants
of that Thanksgiving Day showdown remain to
this day as Byrd observes "Go West Day"--
shades of the "Go West -- Scalp the Indians"
cry -- and Fair Park is transformed into a
campus -wide reservation -- complete with
genuine imitation teepees occupied with
several thousand Indians mettering something
about 'teat Byrd".

The new rivalries have almost overshadowed
the animosities between Byrd and Pair Park,

however. Geographical divisions have fostered
new and more determined enemies. For instance,
when Caot. Shreve was opened several years
ago, its district cut the former Byrd district
in half. Ergo, the Gators and the Jackets
are out for blood in their yearly get-together.
Hie same situation exists in the southwest
part of town, where Woodlawn and Southwood
now share an area that formerly belonged
exclusively to Woodlawn. Those family fights
can be tough -- and fun to watch.

And when all the cross -town feuding is
over, four teams -- two each from Shreveport -
Bossier's, two Louisiana High School Athletic
Association classifications (1-AAAA and 1-
AAA) -- carry the local banner into state
playoff competition. When that happens, a
Centenary student could probably have a
pretty good time if he joined the hordes of
suddenly football -crazy local devotees.
Whereas 10-15,000 might be tops in attendance
during a regular season contest, it is not
uncommon to see State Fair Stadium filled to
near-capacity (33,000) for a prep playoff .

Sometimes the results have been gratifying
for the locals. Take 1967, for instance.
Two schools -- Jesuit and Airline — took
state championships with slim victories
on consecutive weekends at State Fair Stadium.
The following year Woodlawn took the champ-
ionship in the state's highest classification.
And just for reference, that was the same
year that Robert Parish was a straping 6 '9"
freshman at Union High.

That '68 Woodlawn bunch was the last
Shreveport -Bossier state grid kingpin.
Captain Shreve, which has developed into
somewhat of a power in its short history, went
to the semifinals last year before bowing out
to St. Augustine of New Orleans. But whether
the teams are state champions or losers that
struggle through winless seasons } cross-town
rivals or inter-state strangers, surprise
winners or upset victims, Shreveport -Bossier
prep football is played seriously, enthusias-
tically and abundantly.

And it might even be worth watching.

Although these two avant eardc films were made ten years

pressions of how the artists perceived the world, and both
were under the influence of the cubist-surrealist modern an
movement. Both were protest films from the left and both
were influenced by the new Freudian theories. And to-day

THE COSMIC DRAMA

by Taylor Caffery

Act One The stage: dark or bright, because only energy exists; no life, no matter, no soace,
no vacuum. The time: twelve billion years ago. The story: energy develops into matter, matter into
nlanets , stars and galaxies .

Act Two. The stage: light, hot. The time: a few Genesis days later. The story: with orooer
temperature and atmospheric conditions, matter coalesces into single-cell organisms, followed by
multi-cell organisms, vertebrae, mammals, anthropoids, lemurs, man.

Act Three. Where do we go from here?

Dr. George K. Schweitzer, Willson Lecturer, thinks he knows the answer. Addressing Centenary
students and faculty yesterday, Dr. Schweitzer, Professor of Chemistry at the University of Tennes-
see and author of over one hundred works in inorganic and nuclear chemistry, radioactivity, philo-
sophy, and religion, described the cosmic drama.

"The big question," he stated in a CONGLOMERATE interview prior- to the lecture "is whether
there's anything going on here. Is this all accidental or is a cosmic drama being played out? Is
something with a deeD, rich inner-meaning being played out on the stage, maybe not iust on this
planet?'

A nersonable, garrulous intellectual with near-muttonchon sideburns, Dr. Schweitzer sneaks
with a deceptive mountain twang. Davy Crockett, Ph.D.

He traced the plot of the cosmic drama through five major crises. First, energv became matter,
then matter coalesced into life, life broke through to the mind, and the mind broke through to the
personality. Do we remain at this level? No, says Dr. Schweitzer.

"I think there's already been another breakthrough. Out of the totality of my experience I've
searched around for another breakthrough, and my own basic belief is that this occurred in the being
of a very, very strange man--a kind of an unorthodox, wandering, ininerant, bearded, swarthy -skinned
rabbi whose name was Jesus. The next evolutionary breakthrough on the planet has occurred "

Act Three, then, calls for total audience participation. The latest stage, the sixth crisis
of the cosmic drama, is noted in the script at the key phrase "Societal Compassion," or "Cosmic
Consciousness." '

"Societal Compassion is a situation in which every man sees himself as part of a compassionate
stream winch ripples through the whole universe and he sees himself related to every other beino--
not every other man, but every other being: atoms and molecules and cockroaches and' so on. The eco-
logical thrust. And he sees himself in a compassionate relationship to everv other being. He's kind
of called into the program."

There is long-range hone in the universe, Dr. Schweitzer believes, hinging upon man's accep-
tance of Cosmic Consciousness, which he is free to doubt. "Having our freedom means that we can
look at a grand cosmic pattern like this and we can conclude that there's an ordered Process in it
or that there s not. Whether you see any order in the process defends on your total life
situation; it doesn't denend on knowledge."

The drama as Dr. Schweitzer sees it is continuing, but it contains a definite message for
the present. .Anything out living with utter compassionate concern is in the lono-run both indi-
vidual and societal suicide. This is the core of the Christian faith "

n r . Schweitzer is an active member of First Baptist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee, and teaches
in University Seminars sponsored by that church. He is an active visiting lecturer, having snoken to
various grotips at over three hundred colleges and unversities accross the United states

On Thursday October 5th at 10:40 am in the Chanel, the Willson Lecture Series will continue
with Dr. Harmon L. Smith speaking on "Human Sexual Responsibility "

Dr. Smith Associate Professor of <toral Theology at Duke University, holds a Ph.D. from that
institution and has served as a Methodist minister. He has been visiting professor at both the
University of Edinburgh in Scotland and the Universith of North Carolina

A frequently -*xibl ished author in the field of ethics, one of his special interests is the
host of ethical questions raised by the modern developments in medicine. Therefore he will also be
making a special presentation to Centenary pre-med students in Mickle Hall 114 at lpm on October 5
Others are also invited. U ' LUUCI °-

Baptist Fish Hooked

By Jeff Daiell

Earlier this year, the Shreveport -Bossier
Baptist Student Union (across from the Library
on Woo dl awn) , in an attempt to let students
and passers-by know that the Baptist Center
was not merely the administrative headquar-
ters of the Northwest Louisiana Baptist As-
sociation, but also a center of Christian
activities for interested students, erected
a sign in their front lawn, in the shape of a
fish, reading "REAL LIFE IN JESUS", with de-
tails about the BSU. They chose the fish
because that was the ancient symbol of
Christianity (J>oth because of Christ's re-
fernces to 'fishers of men' and also be-
cause, when one takes the first letter of
the Creek words 'for "Jesus Christ, of God the
.Son, and Savior', they foim IXOYE, the Creek
word for fish) .

On Friday, September 22nd, they discover-
ed that their piscine sign had disappeared.
Shortly thereafter, one of the guilty sca-
lawags called the BSU and gloated over the
crime, revealing that the culprits, all
three of them, were Centenary pre-med stud-
ents. It seems the trio objected to the
selfsureness and exclus iveness of the expres-
sion, "REAL LIFE IN JESUS", and had chosen
thievery as a way of striking out for open-
ness of mind and toleration of differing
opinion. BSU's Director, (Rev.) Carl Smith,
expresses sadness over the infantile inci-
dent, but is making no extraordinary efforts
to effect its recovery.

Dig We Must

The Biology Club will have its first
f ield trip of the semester Sunday, October

Red River cuts across a fossil bearing
area and exposes dossil sites as it meand-
ers. Contact Dr. Mcpherson in the Biolooy
department if you would enjoy a day in the
mud digging fossils.

O^icers were elected this past Thurs-
day as follows: President -Mark ^reeman,
Vice ^resident -Jay Reynolds, Secretary-
Treasurer- Barbara Bethel. w e r>eet the

It's Easy to Find
Hard-to-Get Books

The Shreve Memorial Library provides a
valuable supplement to the Centenary Library
as a source for research, study, and re-
creational reading for students and faculty.
The Main Library for the Shreve System is
downtown opposite the Washington Youree
Hotel at 400 Edwards Street. The Broad-
moor Branch on Youree Drive across from
the Broadmoor Theatre is convenient to the
Centenary Campus .

The flain Library has one of the best
geneology collections in the South and is
strong in the areas of petroleum, com-
merce, and business. It is also a de-
pository library for state and federal
publications. As such, it is an excellent
source for materials on the 1970 census,
back years of the Congressional Record, and
similar current and retrospective government
documents. The total collection of the
Shreve Memorial Library and its branches
numbers 225,491 volumes.

The circulating picture collection is
of special interest to students eager to
set up a system of rotating decorations
for their dormitory rooms. Framed prints
of well-known paintings can be borrowed for
four weeks, subject to renewal if the pic-
ture really fits the mood and the color
scheme. A circulating record collection is
also available for those who want sound to
supplement the pictures.

The presentation of a valid Centenary
I.D. Card is normally sufficient for stu-
dents and faculty to secure a Shreve library
card. Otherwise, books and other printed
materials may be borrowed by inter library
loan through the Centenary Library. All
materials borrowed from the Shreve Memorial
Library System can be returned at the Cen-
tenary Library for transmittal to the Main
Library via the Green Gold Library System
book van.

Off-Campus Fees
Studied in State

A committee of the state board of Education
will study a proposal to add up to $60 a
year to the fees of a college student living
off campus.

The committee was appointed at the board
meeting last week after Jesse Bankston, a
member from Baton Rouge, said it had cost
the state as much as $125,000 in court costs
to enforce dormitory regulations.

"Requiring all undergraduate students to
live in dormitories is not promoting edu-
cation," Bankston said. "It might be paying
for dormitories but it's not Dromoting ed-
ucation."

Under his proposal, any student over 21
could live off campus but could be charged
an extra $60 a year if too few students stay
in dormitories and make it impossible to pay
off the bonded indebtedness.

An expected controversy over contingency
contracts was averted when Bankston withdrew
a pronosal aimed at D* F. Burkhalter, a
Monroe contractor and friend of former Edu-
cation Supt. William Dood. The contracts
were awarded by the board several months ago
and were conditional on the certification '
of feasibility by legal counsel.

Student Consumers Set
National Conference

A croup of students at the Bloomington
campus of Indiana University has announced
the Second National Conference On Student
Consumer Action. The theme of the confer-
ence, "Students as Citizens: Prer>aration
for Responsible action," is centered around
the belief that the subject of students as
consumers and responsible citizens is of
concern to government, academic, community,
business and other student representatives.

It has been the experience of many
of the student planners that more satis-
faction and understanding is accomplished
by initial cooperation, rather than con-
frontation, and attempting to self -regu-
late before resorting to legislative con-
trol.

Speakers of both local and national
renown are to participate in panel dis-
cussions, workshops, and lecture pro-
prams during the October 10-13 event ,
which will be held at the Indiana Uni-
versity Auditorium in Bloomington. The
list of sneakers includes: Erma
Anqavine, Executive Director of the Con-
sumer Federation of America: Dr. David
Canlovitz, Columbia University professor
and author of The ^oor Pay 'fore: Diaries
Cavagnaro , Director of Field t^oerat ions ,
President's Office of Consumer Affairs;
Ray Dearing, Executive Director, Betty
Rirness, Special Assistant to President
Jolmson on Consumer Affairs and David
Swankin, Washington Representative for
Consumer's Union.

tration forms may be obtained by writine

VISITATION ISNT EDUCATION

To the Editor :

I would like to express my feelings
about dorra rights. I don't care about
how nany hours a day I can have a guy
in my room and I 'm Very bored with this
whole conflict.

I came to Centenary because I heard it
was a good place to get an excellent edu-
cation. Thus far I have not been disan-
Dointed. I like this place with or with-
out liberal dorm visitation hours. I like
the snirit of intellectual freedom that
prevails in many of the classrooms. If
r»orm visitation has anything to do with
that intellectual freedom, I cannot see
it.

I think there are other more important
things to be worried about at Centenary
than 'dorm visitation. The school is in
financial trouble. Enrollment is down. I
want to help with these problems and I'm
sure that others do. I want to help
recruit new students. If dorm visitation
will help with that - great - I'm for it -
but otherwise it just doesn't seem that
important.

I will try to listen attentively to
any other point of view.

Sincerely,
Cynthia Lewis

THE BLUEJEAN BOYCOTT

To the Editor:

The battle for Chicano rights and
dignity is shifting from the agricultural
to the industrial scene. Although Mexican-
Americans comprise about 95% of the migrant
work force, only 15% of them live in rural
America. The overwhelming majority of
Chicanos who can find work hold jobs as un-
skilled or semi-skilled factory workers.
The struggle of the Farah workers in Texas
and New Mexico is similar to the long fight
of the farmworkers for the same kinds of
rights and protection that most other Ameri-
can workers have.

ffexican-Americans employed by the Farah
flanufacturing Company have been exploited
in the worst possible way. Their attempts
to organize a union were met by the deter-
mined opposition of the management. This
deliberate company policy has prevented
these people from achieving a better way
of life with dignity and security. In
early flay, when some of the leading union
activists were arbitraily fired, more than
3,000 Farah workers walked off the job.

In dealing with the strikers, the Farah
Company has relied upon time -tested methods
of corporate 'justice." Here are just a
few examples. The company initially at-
tempted to break the strike by importing
workers from Mexico. Over 800 strikers
have been arrested despite the fact that
there has been no violence on the strikers
part. Many were arrested in the middle of
the night and were forced to pay the ex-
horbitant bail of $400 per person. The
Company then engaged in acts of intimida-
tion, coercion and restraint against the
strikers, such as the hiring of armed
guards patrolling with vicious unmuzzled
police dogs. The Federal Government has
found the Farah Company guilty of unfair
labor practices for firing union sympath-
izers; however, the company continues to
flout the law. Within a month after the
strike was declared, twenty-four union
supporters were fired in Victoria, Texas

A nationwide boycott of Farah pants
has been launched by the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of American and is sup-
ported by the Citizens Committee for Jus-
tice for Farah Workers. With the opening
of school, a special appeal is being made
to students to support the boycott. As
a group, students comprise a large segment
of the jeans' consumers; student action,
therefore, could have a significant impact.
Proiects are being set up all over the
country to help the strikers. Literature
is being distributed, tables are being set
up on campuses , and campus newspapers are
publicizing the strike.

If you are interested in helping, contact
Citizens Committee for Justice for Farah
Workers, 112 East 19th Street, Room 1104,
New Yoik, New York 10003.

DORM INSULATION POLICY

To the Editor: »

We the residents of the third floor of
Cline Dormitory are having our annual pro-
blems with the air conditioning. The tem-
perature inside the rooms varies between
82 degrees (afternoon and late afternoon)
to a low of about 77 at 1 am. Apparently
this problem is inherent to the third floor
since it was an "add-on" to the rest of
the building. The attic above our roooms
varies between 140-150°; our rooms below
the attic are separated by an uninsulated
ceiling.

Each year people bitch about the pro-
blem. Each year someone comes and looks
the situation over and explains the trouble.
Each year it is agreed that something should
be done about it. Each year around November
the weather gets cooler and the problem is
forgotten - until next year. How about it,
can we have some decent air-conditioning? f
Sincerely,
Jay Reynolds P 7 32

Speaker's Corner

WEALTH: THE NEW MORTAL SIN?

by Jeff Daiell

The great witch hunt continues. It
has always been around, of course, led
by various social, religious, and poli-
tical leaders. Americans seem to respond
to it especially in their politicians,
and many politicians have achieved great
fame at it: Andy Jackson, William Jennings
Bryan, Huey Long, and the Roosevelt cousins,
Teddy and Franklin. Now a new Mather of the
ballot box has stepped forward, his shrill
and hysterical harangues against the victims
currently criss-crossing the land.

That man, of course, is George Mc-
Govern, and the great witch hunt is the
frenzied and perverted rage against the weal-
thy. The wealthy, not because each is
individually evil, or loathsome, or mali-
cious, but because they are wealthy.

The howl against the rich currently
predominates McGovern's -speeches, just
as his comparisons of American pilots to
Nazi SS men did some months ago. Every
time McGovern beats his Methodist breast,
the heartburn caused by others 1 wealth
belches forth as flame from a dragon- -
only the Senator casts himself as a copy
as well as a namesake of St. George.
(Naturally, his speeches are written in
his campaign headquarters , not in his
$110,000 home).

This irrational hatred for those who
hold great sources of wealth, however, is

CALL

New F?LniCS"

merely symptomatic of a much larger sick-
ness : hatred of any kind of success.
Whether it be expressed through McGovern's
rabid demogoguery, or through raucous jeers
to "Break up the Yankees" heard so often in
the Age of Stengel, the small and bitter
people of this world have always held that
if they cannot --or will not-- achieve suc-
cess, then neither must anyone else; and
this, my friends, is a desire so strong
that they are willing to set in motion the
naked, awesome power of the State (which
depersonalizes their violence, and eases
their consciences) to persecute those who
have transgressed against their petty be-
grudgery. Whether it is by theft (tax-
ation) , repression (antitrust laws , pro-
hibitions against types of trade, etc.), or
other means of force, the malicious re-
venge of the mindless failures of this world
is ever at the ready to wreak vengeful havoc
upon the dreams and achievements of the
successful .

This is an atavistic throw-back to Man's
past; it has no place in any enlightened
society. In order to achieve the glory which
is Man's heritage and His rightful due--
that is, a rational world order- -each indi-
vidual must learn that each person has the
right to his or her own destiny, and
each individual must learn to feel neither
jealousy of success nor pity of failure in
others, but rather to devote his or her
time and energy to the problems of Self;
for only in that way can free and thinking
* persons operate in societal intercourse.
This is why the Senator from South
Dakota's savage and mindless lupine bayings
against the rich are nothing less than bar-
baric. George McGovern may call himself
a "progressive" and be considered by
others '•radical", but in fact he harks back
to the grim and dismal MidJle Ages, when
the accumulation of wealth served merely
as a signal to two-legged jackals to hone
their fangs and sharpen their claws. The
sooner every adherent to even a minimally
rational moral code recognizes this poli-
tical harpie for what he truly is and re-
jects him in loathing totality, the better
off .America will be, and, through us, the
world.

Senate Warns Absentees

by Carol Bickers

At its Sentember 21 meeting the Senate dealt with everything from the imcoming elec-
tions to the nroblem of Senate absences. _

On October 9, elections will be held in the SUB from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm for the follow-
ing nositions: Freshman Senators, Female Junior Senator, and Men's Judicial Board. Students
will also be asked to vote at this time for Centenary Gent and Lady and to make nominations
for the YONCOPIN Beauties. Petitions for the ■

Senate offices are due in today by 4:30 rjm

in the Senate Room, SUB 207.

After a very brief discussion of the
absence problem, Clark pointed out that the
absentee rule would go into effect as of
Thursday's meeting. According to by-law XII
of the SGA constitution; "No Senator shall
be absent from more than two meetings during
the semester. On the third one, the Senator
is dropped from the roll. The only exception
being a credited class meeting or illness, in
which case the Senator is responsible for
sending a proxy without vote."

It was further stipulated by Clark that
any Senate member who was more than ten min-
utes late to a meeting would be counted ab-
sent.

In other action the Senate voted to
delete by-law XV which dealt with the select-
ions of the Men's and Women's Boards by the
Senate. Clark, in explaining why the by-law
should be deleted, noted that the Senate was
becoming too involved in Judicial Board fun-
ctions as long as the by-law was in effect.

Reports were also made from members of
the Student Life and Educational Policies
and Standards Committees. Vice-President
Sandy Bogucki , in reporting on Student Life,
noted that several committees were being ap-
pointed to study such matters as the Honor
Court, the criteria for the selection of stu-
dents to Who's Who , and Gentlemanly Speaking .
If any student has any recommendations for

the changing of Gentlemanly Speaking , he may
send his suggestions to the Student Life
Committee in care of campus mail.

Tommy Guerin noted that the Educational
Policies and Standards Committee is consider-
ing three major topics. In addition to
studying Great Issues and the course offer- .
ings and credits in the college catalogue,
the committee is also exploring Dr. W. W.
Pate's and Dr. Walter Lowrey's suggestion
that the time schedules be revised. Guerin
urged anyone who would like to make a sug-
gestion to the committee to contact one of
its members. Student members of the commit-
tee are Tommy Guerin, Barry Williams, and
Barbara Bethell.

Before closing the meeting Clark intro-
duced the Senate advisers for the year. The
advisers are Dr. Fergal Gallagher, Mr. Wesley
Garvin, Dean G. Edwin Miller, and Mr. Charles
E. Vetter.

The Senate will hold its next meeting at
12:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 1 in the Caf.

ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD

Electric Moments, Black Humor

By Cece Russell

"J guess essential to this
play is some understanding of
Hamlet; so I might say, if you
have the general idea that
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
are Hamlet's friends and they
have been called in to see if
Hamlet is crazy and the king
orders them to take Hamlet to
England, if you know that about
the play, you will understand
what's going on, "

Doug Wilson
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead ,
the next play at v Iarjorie Lyons, is sche-
duled to open Thursday* Following tra-
dition, those who are involved in tech-
nical aspects of the Droduction are be-
ginning to wonder if the work will ever
get done, and the performers are ner-
vous and under constant pressure. Never-
theless, the feeling is one of excitement
on the part of everybody involved.

BEHIND THE SCENES
The technical aspect of a production is
usually divided into crews of workers which
include light crews, sound crews, produc-
tion crews , and costume crews . The Scene
Designer and Light Designer heads these
crews, followed by the technical director
and stage manager.

C. L. Holloway (Kip) handles both scene
and light designing for Rosencrant z/Dead .
In an interview, Kip stressed that the main
purpose of a scene design is to create a
particular mood or atmosphere that will aid
the script as well as the actor. "For
Rosencrantz and Guil dens tern, n he stated,
"1 have tried to create a space staging
type idea that is merely suggestive of
both exterior and interior, either one
existing at any time, and a place where
we can create an illusion of time."

Kip hopes to create a similar effect
with lights. He plans to use strong,
contrasting colors in order to achieve
the "electric moments" that this script
calls for.

THE TECH CREW
Working directly under Kip is Bob
Hickman, the technical director and stage
manager. According to Bob, as technical
director he is to work directly with the
scene designer, organize production crews,
and organize tech calls. Says Bob, "In
this case the scene designer (Kip) is also
the director, so I get to work with both,
which is interesting." As opposed to the
technical director's tasks, "the stage
manager's jobs are to organize stage crews,
moving crews, and light crews. ...He is re-
sponsible for making sure the props, if any
are in place and the stage is in the proper
setting."

ON THE OTHER HAND
Those who are involved on the perform-
ing end of the production have a different
set of worries and problems. People who
are involved on this level include the
director, the actors, and, in this case,
the original score writer.

In addition to being the Scene Designer
and the Light Designer, C. L. Holloway is
directing this show! "As far as the 'C. L.
Holloway Presents' position that I manage
to find myself in," he says, "I really
don't mind because last time I had to
do the costumes too! But, I'll have to
admit right now that I wish I had just
a little bit more time to get it done in."

The primary reason that Kip chose to
direct Rosencrantz and Guildenstern is its
preoccupation witn death. Mp views death
as "a point where past and future catch up,"
and he finds it easy to relate to a partic-
ular line in which Guildenstern says that
death is not being. 'The fear of not being
or ceasing to exist would be a great fear
for me."

BLACK HUT OR
Kip, whose major aim is to produce a
funny play dealing with black humor, works
with a large group of people who are not
theatre majors in this play. Thus far he

has not regretted it.

Kip has chosen to cast a local actor,
Jack Harrington, to take the part of The
Player. "It is an extremely difficult
role and needs an older, mature approach.
...Harrington, who is very able, is bring-
ing to the role and to the cast just exact-
ly the attributes that I think The Player
needs."

Kip also uses fuss Barbara Acker to
play the part of Gertrude. 'The reason-
ing for this," is he says, "I wanted very
much for people to see this person's
acting ability. ...Gertrude is an extremely
small role but Miss Acker approaches the
role with insight and is creating a chara-
cter of amazing depth.

Doug Wilson, a sophomore from Oklahoma
City, is to be seen as Rosencrantz. Ac-
cording to Doug his character has common
sense, but he is slow in responding to
situations. Rosencrantz tends to get
emotional, but in the face of crisis, he
is usually calm.

Joe Allain, who will portray Guilden-
stern, is a junior from New Orleans, and

says his character is analytical, logical,
quick witted and more preceptive than
Rosencrantz. Joe and Doug are enjoying
working in the play, and they recommend it
to college students. Says Doug, "It's
almost like Cox's philosophy or aesthetics
class ."

David Leone wrote the original score
for the production: "There will be im-
portant music themes to represent the *c
characters of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
and other major characters and incidental
musical themes which could be any period -
sounding."

TICKETS ON SALE
The box office (Robert R. Buseick,
manager) is open Mon.-Sat. from 1-5 pm.
On the days of the show (Oct. 5,6,7,12,13,

'Student Life' Minutes

The committee on Student Life met in
the R. E. Smith Building at 10:40 a.m.
Tuesday, Sentember 19, 1972. Members
present were Sandy Bogucki, Taylor Caffery,
Pick Clark, Jeff Hendricks, Mike Marcell,
Cindy v east, Mark Dulle, Webb Pomeroy,
Robert Ed Taylor, Eddy Miller, Shirley
Rawlinson, and General Hardy.

Robert Ed announced at the opening of
the meeting that Mike ?1arcell has been
annointed chairman of the sub-committee
to review Gentlemanly Speaking and surest
changes for the handbook as a whole.
Working with ? like will -be Eddy Miller and
Mark Dulle. The sub -committee will be
reporting back to the Student Life Commit-
tee.

The matter of Who's Who was brought
im next. Nominations will be made by
the faculty and then chosen by October 12th.
Shirley Rawlinson was anno in ted chairman o^
a sub-committee to select a nrncess for
selection of these students, suggestions for
criteria for selection, and a method for
receiving the nominations. Sandy Bogucki
and Cindy Yeast will assist Shirley on this
sub -committee.

Chairman Taylor then asked for discus-
sion on the meaning of Who's Who. This
brought un the question of whether we should
have a 3.0 grade requirement. It was the
oninion of some of the members that the
grade noint should not have as much emphasis
as it does. There should be a more well-
rounded criteria. It was also brought un
that the main advantage of Who's Who was in-
creasing nossibil i ties for a better job.
These ideas and suggestions along with
others were directed to Shirley's committee.

The next discussion nertained to the
review of the Honor System. Discussion
followed as to what our resnonsibil ity is
concerning this matter. The committee also
deliberated on a method of grasping hold of
this nroblem and examining it. After many
suggestions it was decided that Mark Dulle,
who is also a faculty advisor to the Honor
Court, would serve as chairman of a review
sub -committee of the Honor System with Jeff
Hendricks, Rick Clark, and Ceneral Hardy as
members of the sub -commit tee. Some sort of
lonp-term review, maybe involving a survey of
the students, faculty, and administration,
will take nlace.

It was announced that the executive mem-
bers of Student Senate will be allowed in
the faculty meeting to nresent their oro-
nosal on September 22, 1972.

THE CONGLOMERATE

GREASE' ON BROADWAY

The British Blues

British blues is an interesting genre
that has just about run its course. Its
origins go back to Alexis Korner in 1958,
out it didn't become a popular style until
the R§B boom of 1964. The groups involved
in that scene, including the Stones,
Animals, Who, and Yardbirds, became hugely
popular and drifted more towards straight
rock 5 roll, convincing the purists that
they had "sold out." These purists in-
cluded the likes of Eric Clapton, who
left the Yardbirds i*i disgust when "For
Your Love" was released. The blues in
England became a real cult for a few
years (the recordings of these cultists
can be heard on RCA's "Anthology of
British Blues" series) until about 1968
when a new generation of musicians spark-
ed a worldwide blues rivival .

Of the groups that came out of the
1968-70 blues craze, nearly all started
with faithful copies of old standards,
fooled around with highenergy amphetamine
blues for awhile, and eventually, like
John Mayall, tried to express their music
and ended up sounding like every other
introspective rock group.

This rather sketchy history of British
blues leads me to mention the fact that
four of these groups have just issued new
albums . Imagination Lady by Chicken Shack
(Deram 18063) is bound to be one of the
last nails in the coffin of blues purism.
The only old song is B.B. King's "Crying
Won't Help You Now," but all the rest
are similarly weighted down with leaden 12-
bar structures and sludgy, bored playing.
Excessive drum solos lead to one-note
guitar variations just as inevitably as
they did on every 1968 album. This kind
of stuff is expendable today.

Savoy Brown fare a bit better on
Hellhound Train (Parrot 71052) . Having
gone through many personnel changes and
switch from the interplay of two lead
guitars on their early records to a fo-
cus on lead singer Dave Walker, this
(their seventh album) presents them at
what is probably another turning point.
There are a couple of standard blues
numbers, plus the title song, a nine-minute
epic loosely based, I believe, on a 1959
horror story by Robert Bloch. It's most-
ly instrumental, getting faster and fast-
er and ending in a big crash of silence.
Their last few albums have been full of
stuff like this, and we've heard plenty
of it from other groups too.

Their future direction, to me, seems
to lie in two songs, "Doin' fine" and
M If I could See and 2nd." The former is
straight out of the Creedence Clearwater
good -time thumper mold, and the latter a
modern rock § roll piece based on Chuck
Berry. Walker has a voice uncannily like
John Fogerty's, but more cultured; he
could have been a great pop singer. He
may turn out to be a great rock singer,
which is Savoy Borwn's best hope at this
point.

Fleetwood Mac started as the strictest
of blues interpreters, went through the
highenergy thing and then the oldies re-
vival thing, lost their core when founder
Peter Green went solo and Jeremy >pencer
holied out. Their next album, Future
Games , was received badly because of its
low energy level, but !»as since been re-
cognized as a beautiful, subtle album. Now,
on Bare Trees (Reprise 2080), they are
back with a return to rock, but still on a
gentle, subdued plane. "Quid of Mine"
is the best example of this, a pleasantly
moving song but without any real drive.
Danny Kirwan, who now dominates the group,
was never a rocker anyway- -he does better'
on quiet melodic songs, such as "Sunny
Side of Heaven," which sounds a lot like
"Jewel Eyed Judy" from the Kiln House

See Ya Later, Alligator!

By Cherry Payne

The Broadhurst Theatre on Broadway is
presently reverberating with the sounds
of Bill Haley and the Comets, Chuck Berry,
Elvis Presley and even La v em Baker.
The Broadhurst, directly across from Sardi's
and The David Frost Show, is the Broadway
home of Crease , a musical which opened off-
Broadway in February of this year. Only
this summer did the show find itself located
in what is probably the most famous theatre
district in the world.

As one enters the theatre he is engulfed
by the music and verbiage of an original
radio show of the fifties in which the D.J.
continually announces to all those duck-
tailed, bobby soxed kids that "Rock and roll
is here to stay." Thus, before a myriad of
posters of Ricky Nelson, Vaseline Hair Tonic
and Vacutex Black-head Extractors, the stage
for Crease is set .

Beginning with the reunion of the Class
of 1959 at Rydell High School , Crease takes
a humorous look at the adolescent subculture
of the fifties era. Opening at the Rydell
Hiqh School cafeteria, the "cool kids"
(Burger Palace Boys and The Pink Ladies)
bring to life those fifties through rele-
vant phrases such as "None of your bees-
wax," and "See you later alligator." And
of course, no self-respecting musical of
this time would be without its gang fights.
There is one- -with none other than the
Flamin' Dukes.

Throughout the nlay the audience is con-
tinually bombarded with music and choreogra-
phy which is a direct variation upon the
original dances and music of this era. The
lyrics, I might add, are an adequate re-
flection of the thought of the day. "Alone
at a Drive-In Movie," sung by Danny Zuko
(Barry Bostwick) and the Burger Palace Boys
is the lament of a lonely teenager as he
sings to his girlfriend after she no longer

wants to go steady with him.
Tm all alone
At the drive-in movie
It's a feelin' that ain't too groovy
Watchin' werewolves without you
Gee, it*s no fun
Drinkin^beer in the back seat
All alone just ainM: too neat
At the passion pit, without you

And when the intermission elf

f loves the clock's hands

While he's eating everything

Sold at the stand

]K fhen there's one minute to go

Till the lights go down low

I'll be holding the speaker knobs

Missing you so

I can't believe it

Hns teamed wind™* I can see through

flight as well uc in an igloo

'Cause the heater doesn't work...
As good as you

Other musical spoofs include "Mooning"
sung by Roger (Walter Bobbie) and Jan (Cam
Stenhans), discussing the art of "mooning"
as in shooting. Another, sung by Betty
Rizzo (Joy Carrett) explores the sexual
mores of the day in a song entitled "Look
at Me, I'm Sandra Hee" (I can't go to bed
'til I 'm properly wed. ..) .

Thus, Creas e takes a look at the issues
facing the youth" of the fifties by means of
the "Pink Ladies," Burger Palace Boys," and,
of course, the "Flamin' nukes." For those
of us who had older brothers and sisters,
Crease can be a real nostlagia trio. For
grease is to the fifties what "Hair" was to
the sixties .

Crease is a must to all those who are
the least bit interested in the nostalgic
movement. Or, in the words of Douglas
^att of the New York Daily News , "Crease is
a tonic."

album. There's some Traffic -like flute
jazz stuff on "The Chost" and an unsuccess-
ful attempt at: he<>vy rock on "Danny's
Chant," also the reading of a poem,
"Thoughts On a Crey Day," by a certain
Mrs. Scarrot . Altogether another pleasant
album by a group that is just beginning to
find its new identity as practitioners of
the soft, pretty rock songs Kirwan is best
suited to.

Of these groups, Ten Years After has
weathered the passage of time best of all.
They are now one of the best heavy rock
bands around, as evidenced by their recent
single, "Baby Won't You Let Me Rock and Roll
You," and like Led Zeppelin, if they can
succeed in becoming a bit more disciplined,
they may end up one of the best rock $ roll
bands of the '70s. Alvin Lee 5 Company (De-
ram 18064) is a set of un re leased tracks

from 1968, when the blues still figured
heavily in their repertoire. "Standing At
the Crossroads" was a Cream standard that
year, but I like this version better,
'boogie On" similarly stacks up better than
Canned Heat's brand of refricd boogie, and
the only real blues bummer here is "Rock
Your Mama," though even it has enough
dynamic tension to save the day. Aside
from "Portable People," a failed attempt
at a folk song, the rest is great.
Especially 'Hold Me Tight," which is as
raw in its tightly-controlled frenzy as
Carl Perkins was at his best.

White blues may be an exhausted trend,
but it appears that our "backgrou 1" in
blues may lead to a new era of vitality
in rock F, roll -if not by these g -rups ,
then through others who have been influenced
by them. Let's hope so.

Hitch-hiking and The Man

This review is written by a close

much a rock fanatic as I am -n rob ably
more. so. He's from Little Rock and
worked the summer there for KLAZ
radio (F1 98. S).

Mark Klingman

MOOGY

What I want to know is : HOW COME THIS
ALBUM IS SO LONG GETTING HERE? I have been
following Klingman' s career (as well as was
oossible, anyway) for the last counle of
years and, therefore, eagerly awaiting the
release of this album. Mark's song "Kind-
ness" was recorded by Johnny Winter And on
their first album. He played on, and
wrote some of the songs, on the James Cot-
ton Blues Band album Taking Care of Busi-
ness. However, the ooint in his career
tHat really made me aware of him, was his
oarticipation on Todd Rundgren's album
Something/Anything? ( which I nominate
tor Alburn ot the Vear) . Moogy wrote
"Dust in the Wind", a cut from Pundgren's
album, which is undoubtedly one of the
best songs on that album.

So much for background information.
I'nnot sure exactly why I'm disappointed
i with this album. It's probably because
I exnected it to be like a new Todd R.
albura (the two being so closely associated) .
This is not to say that the Pundgren in-
fluence isn't (because it is very evident),
[ or to say that this is not a good album.
1 Actually, Klingman comes off more as a
cross between Leon Russel and Rundgren.
Side 1 onens with a funky song, "I
I Tan Love," which is oretty good for open-
ers. The version of 'Kindness" included
here, has a little more country flavor
than the J. Winter And rendition, but
it's still a great song. "Crying in the
Sunshine" is definitely the best song
on the album. It includes a knocked-out
vocal by Pundgren and a raunchy sax solo,
but it stays commercial enough to be a
single. Moogy, Todd R. and N.D. Smart III
share the vocal chores on "Kilpatrick 's
Defeat." Write up another great song.
"Just a Sinner" sounds reminiscent of
Moody's work on Some thing / Any thing 0
Rundgren proves , again, how great he
really is on guitar on this cut. 'To-
night, I'Want to Love fie a Stranger," while
striking a blow for Male Chauvinism, sounds
like something Leon Russell should be doing.

If you're wondering how Klingman sounds
like Leon, I would have to say it's mostly
in his vocal and in the type of music that
hcolays, though it's hard to pinpoint. All
^ all, this is a good first effort and well
*0rth buying . Hopefully his second album
U*U have a little better material and wi"l
Produced as well this record was. But,
I ®U1 then, I'm going to be iooking for a
I ** ftmdgren album and hope full v a solo
from N.D. Smart III.

''Look, John, I'm trying to help you.
Now, I'm giving you this warning and I'm
telling you to grab a bus outta this
state before we catch you again because
if we nab you another time you'll be in
jail until Monday and if you don't have
any money you'll stay there until some-
body can post your bail. And if no one
posts your bail, you're screwed, John.
So I' m warning you. I'm trying to
help you; it's for your own protection ,
John. Cars hit people like you all
the time; why, just the other night we
scraped a couple of packers off the
interstate and lifted them to the morgue.
So I 'm warning you , John . "

. Somehow, the whining speed of this

polished and starched man in blue doesn't

quite ring true. How can he be helping

me if he's throwing me off the road,

telling me to catch a bus or take a

back road (gravel and traveled only

by farmers and local milkmen) 150 miles

to the Kansas border? And since I've

only $20 to get to New York, how can

I spend $17 of that just to leave Colorado?

Ity hitchhiking days started in the
butch -haircut innocence of the late
fifties, thumbing truckers out of LA to
the Mojave Desert towns, to Reno, Lovelock,
Boise, and back.

Like most suburban boys, I'd also
thumb to and from school, or to the beach,
or occasionally to the mountains. I'd
go on long rips to get out of the mash
and clatter of city life- -sometimes just
for kicks , to see how far I could get .

There was no one waiting for me on
the other end, nobody to stop me with
apple pie or stuff a few peaches in my
pack. I'd turn around, dead broke,
and hitch back home.

Church couldn't hold me, or take
me into myself, so on Sunday morning
I'd be out on the freeway ramp, salami
and rye under my shirt and a pair of
trunks buttoned beneath my Levi's, en
route to Malibu or Santa Monica. My
parents, God save them, would be back
in the varnished pews, praying for my
life and the forgiveness of my sins.

I hadn't even a rucksack in those
days, only a bundle wrapped under my
arm like a true vagabond. "Organized"
hitching hadn't come about yet, so if you
looked freaky, you could count on no
ride.

Nowadays, hitching is an art of
travel enjoyed no longer as something
"different" by an esoteric few; but bv
thousands of youths each day, making
their ways cross-country to homes,
universities, coinnunes,
religious colonies, abortion
clinics, rock festivals, and anti-war
demonstrations .

The road is not a lonely place.
Interstate highways (1-70, 1-40, 1-80
--no longer lomantically called "66"
or "The Denver Route" or "The Lincoln
Highway") are crowded with people thumb-
ing down other people, sharing nylon/
aluminum knapsacks loaded with folding
tents, sleeping gear, freezedried ice
cream, Zen bibles, medicinal herbs
and homegrown dope.

Looking freaky is no longer a liabi-
lity in obtaining a ride on most major
roads; there's probably another freak
conveniently on his way to the same
place you are, bumping along in a van,
converted milk truck, model -T, or even
grinding along in a semi.

Hitchhiking is prett;- mudi a
' functional" effort these days. The
U.S.A. is choking on poverty; people
are running loose without a dime in
their overroasts. The hitchhiker is
no loncer an eccentric out on a spree.

and brotherly interchange, or just
"simple" people out looking for work-
hitching because they've no money for
a car or because they think there 're
too many automobiles for too few people
and are determined to boycott the car
culture by buying a pair of shoes and
polishing their thumbnails.

But hitchhiking- --and hitchhikers- - -
are in danger. Thumb ers need protection- -
but not the Man's kind of "protection,"
where he writes you a warning ticket
while checking your eyeballs through
his mirrored shades , seeking bloodshot
rings or dilated pupils.

In states as strict as Ohio or
Colorado, where you have to possess a
sort of transcendental power to thumb
a ride, you must stand opposite the
traffic going your way and act the
idiot , hands in pockets trying to
meditate a ride on the other side of
the interstate highway; in other
words, hitchhiking is illegal there.
The penalty can be anything from a
$25 to $100 fine to a jail sentence--
and there's always a gross delay in
cross-country travel even if you're not
busted. (A thorough coverage of the
pedestrian laws in all the states,
plus some pretty gruesome tales of bad
rides caught in-between good one, comes
in a new book called Side of the Road :
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Unit ecT "
States (April, 197Z, Simon and Schuster,

paperback, $1.95) which was written
by Ben Lobb and Sarah Links.)

But it isn't just outrageous laws
that imperil the hitchhiker; it is the
roads, and the automobiles themselves.

City and country roads in more
progressive communities now have lanes
for bicyclers. Yet nothing is provided
on interstate throughways : • there're
no lanes for cross -count rv bikers or
for people without motorized means of
travel. So wayside stations are set up
for the hitchhiker. The only conveniences
offered thumbers are bulletin boards at
a few universities where possible
rides to such-and-such destination are

hikers and the preservation of hitch-

Mastering Your Head, Hand, and Heart

Swami Rama was all wired up with
electroencephalogram and electrocardio-
gram leads. Technicians were manning their
instruments. The swami went through some
of the rigmarole of his own. When he was
ready he called out the prearranged signal,
"That's all!" and did a solarplexus lock.
The EKG tracing of his heart beats changed
immediately. They became much smaller and
extremely rapid (300 beats per minute). The
swami kept it this way for about half a
minute then brought his beats back to nor-
mal. Elmer Green, the psychologist in
charge of the investigation, took the trac-
ing to an EKG expert. "This is an atrial
flutter- -what happened to this patient?"
said the expert. "He should have fainted
or perhaps died!" The swami had stopped
and restarted the blood flow through his
heart .

Such are the goings-on at the Psych-
physiology Laboratory of the Menninger
Foundation in Topeka, Kansas, where Elmer
Green heads this lab and his wife, Alyce,
is training director of the Voluntary
Controls Project. The Green team described-
their research recently at a conference in
San Francisco on "Psychic Healing and Self-
Healing" sponsored by the Association for
Humanist Psychology. Since 1964 they have
been studying voluntary control of the
autonomic (so-called involuntary) nervous
system.

Swami Rama has phenomenal autonomic
control. He can, for instance (besides
stopping his blood flow) , control the
blood flow in his hand so that the temper-
ature on one part of his handrises while
the temperature on another part of his
hand just two inches away is falling.
(This has been measured as a temperature
difference of 9 degrees Centi-grade.)
He says he does this by dilating one artery
while constricting another. But how does
he do that? The swami says somewhat
mysteriously, "All of the body is in the
mind, but not all. of the mind is in the
body." While trying to understand his
worldview, the Greens are also studying the
techniques the swami learned from his guru.
Some of these techniques (such as breathing
methods) are used by the Greens along with
the biogeedback instruments to teach people
to control some of their own autonomic
functions .

Elmer Green described a spectrum of
consciousness associated with the control
of the autonomic functions. At the low end
of this spectrum is hypnosis (little con-
sciousness and an "outside controller, the
hypnotizer) . Self -hypnosis , autogenic
training , and bio- feedback training extend
the spectrum. Voluntary control (greater
consciousness, little outside control) is
the high end of the spectrum. The relation-
ship between self -hypnosis and bio- feedback
training is a definite part of the Greens'
technique in teaching voluntary control.

Alyce Green demonstrated this with a
volunteer from the audience. The first
step was relaxation of muscles by means of
verbal auto-suggestion. ('?ty feet feel
quite quiet and heavy... my knees feel
quite quiet and heavy", etc.) Then the
mind is relaxed using similar suggestions.
Finally comes the suggestion, "My hand is . {
becoming warmer and warmer." Images of <'
warmth are added.

All through this the volunteer on
the platform was seated at a table with his
hand taped to a lead from a thermister (a
kind of electronic thermometer with a dial).
The volunteer wasn't allowed to see the dial
but Elmer Green, seated across from him',
watched the dial and took notes . The volun-
teer said that he wasn't sure whether his

temperature had gone up^ or not . The therm-
ister showed that it had gone down . Green
explained that this is quite typical re-
sponse to the first attempt and people
frequently have the temperature of their
hand going the wrong direction until they
give up and say, "Well I just can't do it."
Then it happens --the temperature starts
going up.

The person reading the thermister tells
them this and this bit of feedback starts
the feedback part of the training. The stu-
dent is then allowed to watch the dial of
the thermister himself and his control over
temperature in his hand is sharpened. But,
the Greens warn, he should not use the
thermister very long for his control can
come to depend on it!

The Greens report that they have had
very good results teaching migrain head-
ache sufferers to make their headaches go
away by raising the tenperature of their
hands. Such a person typically has an im-
balance in bloodflow so that the head is
too warm and the hands and feet too cold.
Raising hand temperature seems to reset this
balance. Similarly, they are teaching
muscle-tension feedback control for re-
lieving muscle -tens ion headaches.

The Greens were also very excited about
their work in alpha and theta brain wave
control. They use a feedback device that
emits a high tone when the subject is
producing alpha waves (around ten cycles
per second) and a lower tone when the sub-
ject is producing theta waves (around six
cycles per second). They are especially
interested in the theta waves state be-
cause they associate it with a day-dream
like reverie (the hypnogogic state) that one
usually encounters just before falling
asleep and just before he is complete-
ly awake. They find that this theta state
is conducive to creativity. The many
students whom they have trained report in-
creased percept iveness , vividness of
dreams, better concentration, memory and even
elation. The Greens are now doing "double
blind" controlled experiments to see if
these reports can be substantiated more
objectively.

There is a connection between this
state of reverie and control of the auto-
nomic functions for it is just in this state
that control of autonomic functions is
learned. Or anything else. For other work-
ers have found a correlation in rats and hu-
mans between theta waves and learning.

Cougs Take Tourney

The University of Houston rallied last
weekend to win the Centenary Fall Invita-
tional Golf Tournament for the fourth
consecutive year. The Cougars overcame the
8-stroke lead of Oklahoma State on the last
9 holes to edge the Cowboys in the 54 -hole
tourney n laved at Shreveport Country Club.
These two national nowers (Houston, 2nd
and OSU, 4th in this year's NCAA tournament)
outdistanced the other three teams, Wichita
State, Centenary and Southwestern Louisiana.)

OSU had three of the top four individual
scorers including the top two, Danny Edwards'
((210) and Henry DeLozier (214), but the
balance of Houston's team made the dif-
ference.

Wichita State edged Centenary in the
final round for third and USL finished
fifth. Bobby Crowley posted low score for
the Gents with a 222 total. Other Gents
scores were David Lisle (229), Jeff uavis
(235), Mike Sattcrwhite (242), Leo forrigan
(2511, and Tracv Howard (267).

THE I NEW
ALCHEMY

SAUL-PAUL SIRAG

RIGHTS RESERVED ALTERNATIVE
FEATURES SERVICE

Mastering Your Head, Hand, and Heart

Swami Rama was all wired up with
electroencephalogram and electrocardio-
gram leads. Technicians were manning their
instruments. The swami went through some
of the rigmarole of his own. When he was
ready he called out the prearranged signal,
"That's all!" and did a solarplexus lock.
The EKG tracing of his heart beats changed
immediately. They became much smaller and
extremely rapid (300 beats per minute). The
swami kept it this way for about half a
minute then brought his beats back to nor-
mal. Elmer Green, the psychologist in
charge of the investigation, took the trac-
ing to an EKG expert. "This is an atrial
flutter- -what happened to this patient?"
said the expert. "He should have fainted
or perhaps died!" The swami had stopped
and restarted the blood flow through his
heart .

Such are the goings-on at the Psych^
physiology Laboratory of the Menninger
Foundation in Topeka, Kansas, where Elmer
Green heads this lab and his wife, Alyce,
is training director of the Voluntary
Controls Project. The Green team described
their research recently at a conference in
San Francisco on "Psychic Healing and Self-
Healing" sponsored by the Association for
Humanist Psychology. Since 1964 they have
been studying voluntary control of the
autonomic (so-called involuntary) nervous
system.

Swami Rama has phenomenal autonomic
control. He can, for instance (besides
stopping his blood flow) , control the
blood flow in his hand so that the temper-
ature on one part of his handrises while
the temperature on another part of his
hand just two inches away is falling.
(This has been measured as a temperature
difference of 9 degrees Centi -grade.)
He says he does this by dilating one artery
while constricting another. But how does
he do that? The swami says somewhat
mysteriously, "All of the body is in the
mind, but not all. of the mind is in the
body." While trying to understand his
worldview, the Greens are also studying the
techniques the swami learned from his guru.
Some of these techniques (such as breathing
methods) are used by the Greens along with
the biogeedback instruments to teach people
to control some of their own autonomic
functions.

Elmer Green described a spectrum of
consciousness associated with the control
of the autonomic functions. At the low end
of this spectrum is hypnosis (little con-
sciousness and an "outside controller, the
hypnotizer) . Self -hypnosis , autogenic
training , and bio- feedback training extend
the spectrum. Voluntary control (greater
consciousness, little outside control) is
the high end of the spectrum. The relation-
ship between self -hypnosis and bio- feedback
training is a definite part of the Greens'
technique in teaching voluntary control.

Alyce Green demonstrated this with a
volunteer from the audience. The first
step was relaxation of muscles by means of
VfcTbal auto-suggestion. ('My feet feel
quite quiet and heavy... my knees feel
quite quiet and heavy", etc.) Then the
mind is relaxed using similar suggestions.
Finally comes the suggestion, "My hand is
becoming warmer and warmer." Images of
warmth are added.

All through this the volunteer on
the platform was seated at a table with his
hand taped to a lead from a thermister (a
Kind of electronic thermometer with a dial).
The volunteer wasn't allowed to see the dial
but Elmer Green, seated across from him,
watched the dial and took notes. The volun-

temperature had gone up^ or not . The therm-
ister showed that it had gone down . Green
explained that this is quite typical re-
sponse to the first attempt and people
frequently have the temperature of their
hand going the wrong direction until they
give up and say, "Well I just can't do it."
Then it happens- -the temperature starts
going up.

The person reading the thermister tells
them this and this bit of feedback starts
the feedback part of the training. The stu-
dent is then allowed to watch the dial of
the thermister himself and his control over
temperature in his hand is sharpened. But,
the Greens warn, he should not use the
thermister very long for his control can
come to depend on it!

The Greens report that they have had
very good results teaching migrain head-
ache sufferers to make their headaches go
away by raising the tenperature of their
hands. Such a person typically has an im-
balance in bloodflow so that the head is
too warm and the hands and feet too cold.
Raising hand temperature seems to reset this
balance. Similarly, they are teaching
muscle- tens ion feedback control for re-
lieving muscle -tens ion headaches.

The Greens were also very excited about
their work in alpha and theta brain wave
control. They use a feedback device that
emits a high tone when the subject is
producing alpha waves (around ten cycles
per second) and a lower tone when the sub-
ject is producing theta waves (around six
cycles per second). They are especially
interested in the theta waves state be-
cause they associate it with a day-dream
like reverie (the hypnogogic state) that one
usually encounters just before falling
asleep and just before he is complete-
ly awake. They find that this theta state
is conducive to creativity. The many
students whom they have trained report in-
creased percept iveness , vividness of
dreams, better concentration, memory and even
elation. The Greens are now doing "double
blind" controlled experiments to see if
these reports can be substantiated more
objectively.

There is a connection between this
state of reverie and control of the auto-
nomic functions for it is just in this state
that control of autonomic functions is
learned. Or anything else. For other work-
ers have found a correlation in rats and hu-
mans between theta waves and learning.

Bengals and Bulldogs

by Ton Marshall
Question: What does a crowd of 67,510 in
Baton Rouge and one of 19,200 in Ruston have
in common?

Answer: The crowds in their respective
stadia- -Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge and
Aillett Stadium in Ruston --are both
watching teams that rank in the 'Top Ten"
in the national wire services' weekly rat-
ings.

The teams those 90,000 paid to see-
the Louisiana State Tigers and the Louisi-
ana Tech Bulldogs ---also have something
in common. As a matter of fact, the Tigers
and Bulldogs have a great deal in common.
Consider the following.

To begin with, both are undefeated so
far this season. Tech, at 3-0, is ranked
third in both the AP and UP I college divi-
sion ratings of the week of September 18;
LSU, 2-0 going into Saturday night's con-
test with Wisconsin, is ninth in the major
college rankings. In those first five
games, the two clubs have outscored their
opponents by a 147-61 margin.

Tech's list of conquests includes South-
western Louis an a, whom they defeated 7-0
at Lafayette; heavily -favored Southern
Mississippi, a 33-14 victim in Hattiesburg
and McNeese State --the co- favorite along
with Tech to win the Southland Confer-
ence title--whom the Bulldogs demolished
34-17 before the aforementioned 19,200
faithful in Ruston.

LSU on the other hand has played both
of its season -opening encounters within
the friendly confines of Tiger Stadium- -
dubbed "Death Valley" by unsuspecting op-
Donents who have heard about the Tigers 1
den but don't really believe it until they
have seen (or more accurately, HEARD) the
inside of Tiger Stadium. First up was
Ihiversity of the Pacific, who actually
jumped out to a 7-0 lead on a blocked punt
early mthe first quarter before succumb-
ing 31-13. Then it was Texas A§M, who fell
by 42-17 a week later before the ever pres-
ent 67,000 plus.

But all of this is actually no big sur-
prise. Ouite the contrary, big things
were and are expected of both teams this
fall. Sports Illustrated , in its pre-
season college football issue, tagged LSU
as Numero Uno--the Number" One team in the

country, the team to beat. In his evalua-
tion of LSU, SI prognosticator Dan Jenkins
said, "The anticipation of an opportunity
not to be. missed may be well-nigh unbear-
able on the Louisiana State University
campus in Baton Rouge this fall. Possibly
not for another five years will the Bengals
see the prize of being ranked No. 1 college
team in the country dangled at such close
range." That just about says it all, Dan.

As for Tech, Jenkins saw the Southland
Conference as a two-way race between the
Bulldogs and McNeese State (Lake Charles) .
But LTU took care of that last Saturday
night, as the '£ame of the Year" cane early.

Both clubs still have tough games ahead
of them- -especially LSU. Besides Wisconsin,
the Tigers still must contend with Ole Miss,
Alabama and surprising Tulane. Anything
could happen. But I'd put my money on high
national rankings and post -season bowl
games for both the Tigers and the Bulldogs .

And I bet you thought cats and dogs
didn't have anything in common!
SPORTS NOTES --Tickets are now on sale for
the traditional State Fair clash that pits
Tech against Northwestern State University.
This year, the contest is slated for Satur-
day, October 21. It's a perennial sellout,
so get your tickets early if you plan to

attend The '£ame of the Year" in Shreve -

Dort-Bossier prep football might be Satur-
day night as preseason District 1-AAAA title
favorites Capt. Shreve and Airline tangle
at Capt. Shreve Stadium. Last year Shreve
won the game 26-21 when the Gators scored
on a touchdown pass in the final 30 seconds.
Also featured will be the two top Dassers
in the league- -Steve Haynes of Airline and

Terry Brown of Shreve NBA preseason

basketball (that's right, BASKETBALL) is
well underway as the teams tune up for next
month's season openers. Tuesday night it's
"Showtime" again in Baton Pouge as Pete
Maravich and the Atlanta Hawks engage the
Houston Rockets in an NBA contest in the
LSU Assembly Center. The 14,500 seat
Assembly Center- -also called "The House
that Pete Built" and "Pete's Palace" (it
was supposed to be ready for Pete's senior
year at LSU, but wasn't) --is an almost cer-
tain sellout, with 5,000 ducats sold by mail
order before the tickets went on public
sale about two weeks ago.

Busting the Blue Laws

by Sam Hill

It shall be unlawful for any person to perform any of the following acts between the hours of
2:30 am. and 7 a.m., or on Sunday after 2:30 a.m. in any place where alcoholic beverages are sold

(1) To display or allow to be displayed to the view of the public any whiskey, beer or alco- '
holic beverages after the bottle has been opened, in any bottle, can, glass, cup, vessel or article
of any nature. w«

(2) To consume or allow the consumption of alcoholic beverages, when the establishment is open

Section 3-13 of the City Code of Ordinances

thP h^^Sc^f eS?2? b l tUrn6d red ''' lhus ' the senti ^ts of another resident concerned about
SkinJ 1 JShp? i^JS^cJ T ex P ressed - Interestingly enough, however, the City seems to be
taking a rather lenient stand concerning Section 3 -13 of th e City Code of Ordinances, at least in
relation to one group.

Last Sunclay Mr. Thrifty Discount Liquor
sponsored a wine-tasting festival within the
city limits of Shreveport at the Convention
Center. CONGLOf ERATE reporters attended in
order to discover the attitudes of the festival -
goers , research the background of blue laws in
Shreveport, and sip a little wine.

Yet, due to recent controversy concerning
Section 3-13 of the City Code, the reporters,
with camera, tape player and general noisiness in
tow, seemed to be a source of some discomfort on
the part of the officials pf the festival (as
evidenced by several inquiries as to why we
wanted this picture or to talk to the "invited
guests") .

According to a strict interpretation of the
City Code of Ordinances, the event itself was
illegal. This question was raised last week to
the city officials and the mayor, but it was
decided that the festival could be held if ad-
mission was gained by invitation only. An "in-
vitation" was acquired by means of going to a
Thrifty Liquor Store and making a "donation" of
one dollar (the donations were to go to the
Heritage School for Children with Learning Dis-
abilities). Furthermore, donations were being
accepted at the door, whereupon entrance to the
festival was allowed.

Since the festival itself, according to
officials, was successful, it seemed to be a
most opportune time to interview some of the
people of Shreveport concerning feelings about
the blue laws. Of the people interviewed at
the wine festival (obvious lv not the best
place to take an honest survey of the attitudes
of the citizens of Shreveport' toward this ques-
tion), the overwhelming maioritv supported re-
pealing Section 3-15. Only one' was in favor
of the blue laws as they stand concerning this

The Dormitory Decision:
No, Says Dr. John Allen

oy Taylor Caffery
Dr. John H. Allen made a decision this week
concerning the dormitory visitation hours re-
quested by Centenary students. The decision
was : no .

The controversy began during the summer
when Dr. Allen wrote to student's parents '
informing them that the liberal hours of last
spring would be cut back to two hours dailv
Once back on campus the students were restless
participating during the past few weeks in peti-
tion campaigns, midnight rallies, pantv raids
and various other measures designed to' draw '
attention to their desire for a return to the
hours which they claim worked well, with little
complaint from students, parents or administra-
tors, throughout the spring semester The
events drew to a climax Tuesdav at a packed
meeting of the Committee on Student Life.

Early in the semester, acting on the be-
lief that Dr. Allen wished them to "go through
channels," the Student Senate passed a resolu-
tion favoring the return of last spring's hours
and sent it to the joint facultv-sturfent-ad-
ministrative Committee on Student Life, which
also endorsed it and sent it to the faculty

In a meeting reported in last week's CON-
GLOtERATE, the faculty voted to keep hands off
any control over non-academic student life
a move interpreted as favorable bv student'
leaders .

Then, Monday afternoon, Senate President Rick
Clark met with Dr. Allen in the president's
Hamilton Hall office to receive his decision

Freshman Campaign For Senate Begins

by John Wiggin

The campaign for freshman senator has
begun. From a faceless mass of Freshmen,
the faces, the personalities, of the can-
didates emerge. Though the personalities
differ greatly, one candidate summed it
up by categorizing herself not as a Fresh-
man, but Freshperson. The candidates are
young, enthusiastic, and possibly a bit
naive. They are bold enough to take stands
on the important issues facing Centenary
today .

All students, not only freshmen, can
vote in Monday's election (8-4 in the Sub),
because Judicial Board, WSGA, Centenary Lady
and Gent, and YONCOPIN Beauty contests are
also to be decided.

The candidates officially entered the
running Friday, the deadline for submit-
ting their platforms and petitions. Qua-
lifying for the freshman girl's race were
Karen Stephenson, Jonna Jones, and Mary
Jane Peace. The freshman boys who qualified
were Tracy Howard, Jim Morris, and Joey
Lacoste. Holly Hess was the only candidate
who qualified for the Junior girl's seat on
the Senate. The junior race is being held
because the elected junior senator, Terry
Martin, did not return to school this year.

Monday, a meeting was held by Barry
Williams, head of the Senate elections com-
mittee, to inform the candidates about limi-
tations on the display of campaign material.
The freshmen candidates who atended the meet-
ing were Mary Jane Peace, Jim florris, Joey
Lacoste, and Jonna Jones.

Banners and posters, Williams said, were
limited to a definite number and size, and
were not to go up until 2:00 pm Wednesday.
The candidates were also informed that they
"would be assessed $25 for every handbill
found on campus that pertains to their cam-
paign. All publicity must be removed from
the polling area, inside the Sub, by 9:00 am
Monday, and all publicity must be removed
from campus within 24 hours after the elect-
ion. Violations will be subject to fine.

There was discussion during the meeting
on the subject of freshman campaign speeches.
A comment was made that no one shows up for
campaign speeches. A comment was then made
that last year people did come to the speech-
es, but the candidates didn't. A decision
was reached to hold speeches and/or question
and answer sessions Wednesday.

Freshman campaigns are usually very
stereotyped. Platforms tend to be much the
same, and issues aren't usually the deter-
mining factor of victory or defeat. He who
can make himself recognized is most often
the victor, no matter for what he stands.

In short interviews with the candidates,
I attempted to discern why they chose to run
for freshman senator, and how they felt
about some of the issues.

CONGLOMERATE: Joey, what does it mean
to you to be on the Senate?

Joey Lacoste: i would have the privi-
lege of representing the freshman class,
presenting their views, showing that through
a voice the freshman class can get something
done and accomplished.

CONGLOMERATE : What do you think the
students should do about visitation now that
President Allen has thrown out the petition
for more visitation.

Lacoste: I think it was closed-minded
of him. I heard there was some area for
compromise, ...and I'm for compromise

We must keep pressing the issue.

Jim Morris: We pay tremendous tuition,
and I believe the freshman, everyone, de-
serve visitation... I believe the President
was wrong on going back on his past decision
about visitation... We're going to have to
do some tiling.

CONGLOMERATE : Mary Jane, you have some
very interesting planks in your platform,
one or two of which I'm sure people will not
understand.

Mary Jane: You mean the 87th di-
mension.

CONGLOMERATE : Yes

Mary Jane: That particular plank is
there... to make people think, make them
ask questions . Campaigns are often too
serious, and this is to add a bit of humor
and interest.

CONGLOMERATE : What is your stand on
the present regulations in the girls' dormi-
tories .

Jonna Jones: I think they could stand
some change, but it's going to take a while.
We've got to work on it.

Mary Jane Peace: I believe that the
restrictions on first semester freshman
girls should be the same as those for other
girls. If freshman girls aren't responsible
enough to handle themselves, they don't be-
long at college.

CONGLOMERATE: Tracy, in your platform
you stated you would leave it up to the
freshmen as to how you would stand on the
issues. Isn't it important that they know
how you stand?

Tracy Howard. I want to leave it up to
them to see exactly what they want and what
their opinions are. Then I can make my
decision as to what the entire group wants...

CONGLOMERATE: What would you do about
lower enrollment? How would you make the
school more attractive?

Jonna Jones: There are many problems
we've just got to work out. I visited last
year just for a weekend, and it seemed a
more relaxed atmosphere ... a lot quieter,
happier atmosphere. It's different this
year... I think that atmosphere would help
bring students here.

Reid Buckley is First
In Fall Forums Series

by Bob Robinson

'Tluch of today's exciting, original
thinking on humane social questions has
come out of conservatism. Liberalism
remains rooted in the thirties.'' This
is a quote that has stirred many contro-
versies and debates in many different
groups. Reid Buckley, vounger brother
of the highly noted William 'f. Buckley,
Jr., is the author of the quote.

Reid Buckley is a noted cultural and
social critic and a political conser-
vative sneaker. On Monday, Oct. 16,
Reid Buckley will sneak at Centenary on
the n rob able tonic, ''Can Conservatives
be Progress ive?"

Buckley has written two novels,
Eve of the Hurricane and Servants and
Their M asters , and fias had works nub-
iished in many magazines and newspapers
including Vogue, Atlantic Monthly, New
Vork Times, and The National Review.

When Buckley was asked why he was a
conservat ive, he replied, "I am a con-
servative, not because of this or that
nolitical program, but because as a
writer I find this nhilosonhy the humane
and the real insight into human nature."

Jeff Hendricks, chairman of the Forums
Committee, had this comment on why he
chose Buckley to soeak: 'Buckley?
Because we haven't had an intelligent con-
servative sneaker here in a while, and it
would be an unusual and enlightening ex-
perience for the students." When I asked
who else he had in mind, Hendricks said
that .Anthony Burgess, author of numerous
books including A Clockwork Orange would
be sneaking later this semester.

Burgess 1 book was made into a movie
which was filmed and produced by Stanley
Kubrick. Burgess is tentatively scheduled
for Friday, Nov. 3.

When I asked Hendricks about why he

chose these men in particular and if he
had thought about any other, he had this
to say; "We looked at men such as James
Dickey, the author of Deliverance and
Rollo May, a noted psychologist , but the
cost of these type of sneakers was a
little high for our budget." Hendricks
chose two men who weren't as well pub-
licized as other sneakers, but who were
as well informed on as many issues as
the better known critics. Hendricks
also checked to see if the Sneakers
might be able to come early for informal
discussions and speak in some classes,
finishing with his lecture that evening.
At this early date Hendricks thinks there
is a good Possibility that this could
happen .

As for looking into the f\iture,
Hendricks says he is trying to, line up
Conor Cruise O'Brian, a leading Irish
diplomat, and William Everson, a San-
Franciscan Renaissance poet and ex-Dominican
monk.

Dorm students take note: The "new" and
most effective weapon to rid your house of
cockroaches is boric acid, that household
stanle grandma used as an eyewash, reports
the October Science Digest . Entomologist
Walter Ebeling, professor at UCLA, says
it's safer than most insecticides, it's
chean, it provides long-time control with
one application, and roadies don't seem to
build resistance to it. Roaches are clever
enough to avoid most poisons, the scientist
says, but they don't know boric acid will
kill them until it's too late. Thev walk
through it without harm, but when they draw
their legs through their mouths to clean
them, they swallow the dust.

issue.

Yet, most people, while they disap-
proved of the city ordinance, seemed rather
unconcerned in attempting to repeal the blue
laws. One man noted, "I got my own bar in
my house. I don't worry about anyone else."
Rather than the exception, his feelings
seemed to be the rule. More than anything
else, the right of personal and individual
preference was emphasized, and most people
seemed to feel that their actions are dic-
tated by what they regard as a minority (a
minority understood to be the conservative-
white- Protest ant element of the Shreveport
population) .

It is evident and generally understood
in Shreveport that beer and wine sales are
relatively widespread in the city on Sun-
days, as pointed out by George Turner in the
September 28th issue of the Shreveport
Times . This understanding, in addition to
the more or less "under the table" ad-
vocation of such activity by the City of-
ficials seems to be indicative of the pre-
sent attitude of the people of Shreveport.

The major concern expressed by most
partakers of the fermented fruit at the
Festival relates to the separation of church
and state. As one gentleman pointed out,
the laws as presently upheld discriminate *
against certain individuals (Jews , for
instance, whose Sabbath is not Sunday, but
Saturday). Also, many people, regardless
of personal religious preference, resent
being controlled by another group whoe
moral views they do not necessarily share.
One man pointed this out most effectively
when he state, "I don't think religious
convictions should be foisted on people
who don't have those particular religious
convictions... Division of church and state
is one of the building blocks of our so-
called democracy, and the laws, good, bad
or indifferent, should be strictly on the
ethics of the community and not the morals
dictated by the Judeo- Christian concept."

Beyond the controversy of the blue
laws, the feeling that the Wine Festival
was not suspended by Ciiy officials be-
cause of monied interests supporting it
was* not an uncommon theme. One man main-
tained, "If you've got enough money and
enough influence in this town, I've found
that you can get anything you want...
Sunday included." This in itself seemed to
touch off some minor feelings of embitter-
ment, but only encouraged remarks related
to Shreveport and how it had better come
up to "the times." The general feeling
did prevail that eventually the younger
businessmen would gain enough power so
that things might bechanged. Some even
saw this Wine Festival in itself as a
breaking point.

President Allen, yielding to the bitter
winds of change sweeping the campus, an-
nouced today the establishment of new
visitation hours:

Wednesday 4-6 AM
In a rare appearance before the cheering,
jubilant, and relieved student body, Allen
beamed: "I like young people. I think
this student body is the best we've ever
had. It's good that you are concerned and
involved."

At the end of his address the Presi-
dent spontaneously burst into the Alma
Mater, and the contented students joyously
chimed in. Golly, Centenary sure is a
swell school.

U.R. Rong is proud to announce the
formation of a Shreveport chapter of
Hate A McGovernite (HAM) . To be a mem-
ber one must be incapable of rational
argument and skilled in the art of in-
tolerance. The first meeting will be held
in the Student Union Building of Centenary
College, room 7. The program will consist

of such topics as "How to Curse at a
McGovernite Whom You've Never Before Seen,"
"Advanced Techniques of Ripping McGovern/
Shriver Buttons from Blouses," "1001 Ways
to Destroy McGovern Literature," and
"Physical Abuse of McGovernites : A semi-
nar in Shoving, Bumping, Pushing, and Gen-
eral Rudeness." A special invitation is
issued to Centenary gentlemen and gentle-
women .

Within our modernistic, technological
society where bureaucratic man, self -alien-
ated and estranged, struggles with mechani-
stic complexities, fascist beasts, ruthless-
ly rootless depersonalization, and the
Great Emptiness, we at Centenary College
find ourselves confronted with curriculum
reform. From the rustlings of discontent
emerge the following courses:

Biology 410: Pimples. Economics 324:
Labor- -Professor, Pate. English 324: Pate--
Professor, Labor. English 480: Sodomy in
the Tasmanian Novella. History 317: Renais-
sance and Regurgitation. Mathematics 307:
Indifferent Equations. Religion 405: Pome-
roy- -Professor, God.

will recognize the present official hypoc-
risy: wine festivals legal on very weak
technicalities , the illegal distribution
of alcoholic beverages on Sunday, and the
failure of the City to enforce some sections
of the City Code of Ordinances . Yet,
beyond this, it is interesting to note
how easily the people of Shreveport can
overlook their own moral crisis and attempt
to direct the standards of private, church-
related liberal arts colleges . "

Republicans Poll Dorms

Results of a comprehensive canvass of
the girls ' dormitories conducted by the
Centenary College Republicans reveal over-
whelming support for President Nixon, ac-
cording to Spokesman David Eatman, and also
a need for absentee ballots for students.

146 girls were personally contacted
and responded to the following questions:

"Do you consider yourself to be

a ReDublican or Democrat?"

An identical canvass is now being con-
ducted in the boys' dormitories, and results

GET OUT OF TOWN

To the (W)hole of Centenary College:

I was very disappointed to witness the
"demonstration" in the dorms Monday night.
What could have been a meaningful instru-
ment of protest turned instead into a mad,
destructive party. Setting off fire
alarms, and scattering shreds of toilet
paper all over the lobby of James Dorm is
not my idea of the way to accomplish any
serious purpose.

I realized Monday night just what a joke
this campus is. I no longer care very much
about changing anything; it is all too
ridiculous. I am only here because, for
financial reasons, I can't go elsewhere, and
a college degree is a necessary tool. As
far as making the school better for future
students, I would advise all future stud-
ents to get out of Shreveport as fast as
they can.

Absurdity is the universal norm.

Regretfully yours,
Mary Ann Callahan

be it's not too late.

Committee on Faculty Organization
(through Dr. Morgan)
From: Taylor Caffery, CONGLOMERATE Editor
Re: Committee of Student Life

At the end of last spring's semester, the
old Publications Committee voted to recom-
mend to the Committee on Faculty Organization
that the two student editors (CONGLOMERATE and
YONCOPIN) be given a vote on publications
matters in the Committee on Student Life. The
approved committee structure for this year,
however, includes the two editors (along with
the publications 1 adviser) only as "non-
voting advisers on student publications
matters

The situation as it stands, I contend,
is unhealthy because it prohibits an effec-
tive adversary relationship between the
student government and the student publica-
tions, by placing four Student Senate members
on the committee. In times of change, when
a campus newspaper and the students in elec-
ted positions might be expected to disagree
on means or goals , the structure of this
year f s Committee on Student Life would give
the student government members an important
position of control over the publications,
making "advocative" journalism a dangerous
field.

Were the New York Times to wake up one
morning to find the President of the United
States, the Vice-President, two U.S. Sena-
tors, and one member appointed by the Lord,
on the NYT Publications Board, it would
find itself in our position.

I would like to see the student publica-
tions, some time in the future, controlled
apart from any other student government or
faculty operations, because there are too
many chances for conflict in the present
structure. For a start, though, I believe
student editors should at least have the
right to vote.

Sincerely,
Taylor Caffery
September 22, 1972

Mr. Taylor Caffery, Editor

The CONGLOMERATE

Dear Taylor:

In your letter of September 22 to the
Faculty Organization Committee, you state
your reasons for a change in the voting
composition of the Committee on Student
Life, which would allow the CONGLOMERATE
and YONCOPIN editors a vote on publications
matters. The aim of those reasons in essence
is the guarantee of a free press.

The Faculty Organization Committee, how-
ever, feel that the present make-up of the
Committee on Student Life effects that
guarantee: there is a balance of (1) faculty
members and a trustee and (2) students, at
least four of whom are the elected represen-
tatives of the student body. If editorial
policies should run afoul of either of these
groups, one or the other ought to defend
freedom of the press.

If some particular situation has arisen
which would call into question the wisdom
or workability of the present arrangement
I would appreciate it if you would let me
know.

Sincerely yours ,
Lee Morgan,

Chairman, Committee on
Faculty Organization

r * STABL 'SHINGANEED

To the Editor:

President Allen has thrown up to the stu-
dent body as an excuse for his reduction of
visitation rights the argument that 'Vio need
has been established" for visitation. I
submit that President Allen has never est-
ablished a need for his salary.

Therefore, he should be paid for the work
he does between 3 and 5 Sunday through Thurs-
day afternoons, and from 3 to 10 p.m. the
other two days of the week.

After all, he can make up for it by work-
ing in "available recreational facilities and
lounges as well as study areas," and not just
m his "center of activities for employment
personal work, and group work."

Dear Mr. McCafferty,

Sorry we are not allowed to accept ad-
vertisement for any termpaper services. Our
publication committee forbids it!

Sincerely,
Janet Sammons
Sept. 22, 1972

Dear Janet:

I understand when a newspaper writes
back claiming that they don't want to run
my ad.

I don't understand when a newspaper
writes back claiming that thev can't run
the ad because of pressures brought by
the school administration.

Perhaps Centenary College is failing
in its primary task, vis. the education
of students. There is a long tradition
stemming from the Greek philosophers which
holds that at the very least an educated
man ought to make his own decisions.

Janet, you really oughtn't to let
your school tell you what to print Are
news articles censored too? I should
think if advertising is censored either news
articles are or soon will be censored

Anyway, if a school is doing its job
properly, a termpaper company couldn't make
a single sale on its campus. Does Centenary
have something to fear?

Listen Janet. I'm not coming down on
you personally. But you should, as the
hippies say, get it together. Find some-
thing worth fighting for- -termpaper ads
may not be it- -and fight like hell. Give
it the old school try, so to speak.

I remain:
Friendly,
Robert McCafferty

ON THE BUTTON

To the Editor:

A frightening thing hanpened to me
today. Because I have chosen to wear
a button that showed my supnort of a
certain nresidential candidate, I have
had many cuss words and nersonal ac-
cusations flung at me. Those accus-
ations were not hurled at my candidate,
but at me as a nerson.

Have we become a society that is
so embittered and hostile that we must
act in such an ignorant manner 9 I
imagine we would all be ur> in arms if
only one candidate was allowed to run
for office. The thing that is imnor-
tant is the fact that we alienate
many peonle by such actions.

.Toseoh Newton said that 'people
are lonely because they build walls
instead of bridges.'' Several walls
were built today, but many more
bridges could have been built if a
rational conversation had taken place.

I annlaud the neople of opposing
views who stay rational, but to those
who display such narrow mindedness,
I can only hope that with maturity
they will learn tolerance.

THE CONGLCMEPATE

October 6, 1972

VISITATION

by Taylor Caffery

The following interview was recorded
in Dr. Allen's office Wednesday morn-
ing . — TLC

CONGLOMERATE: Yesterday the Committee on
Student Life met. Students are very angry
and upset on campus. They spent Monday night
in the lobby of James Dorm and out in the
halls. The Committee on Student Life set
up an appointment with you tomorrow, which
is past our deadline, to ask you some ques-
tions . I want to get a gist of the kind of
answers you will be giving. They want to
know how you made your decision, your sec-
ond decision in fact, to refuse the more
liberal visitation hours of the spring.

ALLEN: Don't you think I should talk
to them, though, before I start answering
those questions? I think it's kind of a
legitimate way to approach it. Maybe I
should. That is, I shouldn't answer any
questions before they ask.

CONGLOMERATE : Well, then, I could ask
you the questions. What were your reasons?

ALLEN: In a nut shell, what it's going
to be, Taylor, is that I was expecting or
at least anticipating that their recommen-
dation to me, which involved the liberali-
zation of the visitation program as we
"have had it, would contain information,
would give me grounds for liberalizing.
j*But in fact,. what it. was was simply their
■^unanimous request -that they be liberalized,
and it did not contain any rationale of
any consequence. This is what I would
like to find out from them. They're going
to ask me questions , and I want to ask
them some. I think we'll have a fruit-
ful meeting.

CONGLOMERATE: They believed that they
would send the simple statement along
with the statements representative of the
student body--Pam Sargent's letter, Rick
• lark's letter, the many letters that
• have appeared in the CONGLOMERATE. Stu-
dents I'm sure have tried to talk to you;
a lot of them protest that you're out of
town too much.

ALLEN: Right. This is part of the
terrible business of being president. Be-
ing out of town, raising money and recruit-
ing students. It's part of my job.

CONGLOMERATE: They felt that what
rationale there was would be given in these
separate letters and opinions. Did you
take those letters . . .

ALLEN: Yes, and basically- -and I would
invite you to look at them- -basically what
they said was they wanted the hours liber-
alized because they wanted the hours liber-
alized, it was the kind of life a person
wanted to live. And I kept searching for
something pragmatic.

CONGLOMERATE : Were there problems in
the last semester, the spring semester 0
Were there complaints about the hours 0 Did
people say, 'XDh this is horrible, this has
to stop"?

ALLEN: Yes, but that's anticipated. No
matter what you do, somebody's not going to
like it. If you serve Beef Wellington
someone would rather have chicken. Yes
there were some complaints, I acknowledge
that, but don't necessarily assume that

C °TnvrM tS dr0VC me t0 chan ^ e the hours.

CONGLOf ERATE : What drove you to change
the hours, then, was primarily your own
decision?

ALLEN: Right. I assume full responsi-
bility. "

CONGLOMERATE: General Hardy at the Com-
mittee on Student Life meeting said that the
Board hadn't discussed it.

ALLEN: That is correct. The board does
not discuss these things unless it's brought
Wn e 52*1^ ^Student Life CoimitteTof
the Board had not discussed it, and they
would be the committee which you would take
it before. Now remember, the Board could

Committee or the Student government wanted
them to\

CONGLOMERATE : At its base, this whole
visitation issue comes down to a fear of
sexual relations in the rooms, a belief by
some students that that is not an issue,,
and a belief by other students that, an is-
sue or not, it's a relation between consen-
ting adults who 're over eighteen and "legal"
for everything in the state of Louisiana.
Is it still the college's place in our
society to determine for eighteen year-olds
what their relationships will be?

ALLEN: As long as the college is land-
lord, the college as landlord must establish
whatever living practices it as landlord
sees are best for its housing. And that's
what we're doing.

CONGLOMERATE : As a graduate of a high
school , a student either goes to college or
goes off and works, goes to trade school,
joins the military. These people are out
in the world, learning to live in their own
apartments, learning to cope with their
problems themselves. Our students are in
the dormitories protected from late night
visitation and things like that. Are they
learning to do anything other than to read
books and to run home on the weekends and
get in anything that they couldn't get in
during the week?

ALLEN: I suggest that those who are out
in other places are living under lease agree-
ments just as they are here- -and in the mili-
tary that is, of course, a horse of a dif-
ferent color- -but when you rent an apartment,
if it's any good you have a lease agreement.
There also has to be an effect on the style
of life that you live: whether you can have
a dog or a cat or children or a boyfriend or
a girlfriend or a wife and so forth. We're
trying to have a housing code which works
best for everybody. It's awful hard.

CONGLOMERATE: So, I 'm bargaining with
my landlord, and he says, "Well I'm sorry,
this is the way it is, but I tell you what.
If you want to fix it, you can go to this
committee, and they can present it to this
other committee, and they can present it to
this other committee, and they can decide
whether or not to give it to me." So I go
through all those committees, give it to
him, and he says, 'Well, that's interest-
ing, but no dice." Would you be throwing
toilet paper on Hamilton Hall and staying
till four a.m. in James dormitory?

ALLEN: The only hearing other than this
office that the student government has had
was in the Student Life Committee. It
hasn't been but the one place.

CONGLOMERATE: And the faculty.

ALLEN: The faculty didn't discuss it.

CONGLOF ERATE : Well, Rick Clark dis-
cussed it to a small amount at that facul-
ty meeting, but the faculty's decision was
that the whole issue was not one in which
the faculty should get involved, which the
students interpreted as a small amount of
support. The feeling was that you wanted
a statement from the faculty. Not "We
don't want to get involved," but a state-
ment, ,r Yes they should, or no they should
not, have their visitation hours." Would
you have been happier if the faculty had
said something?

ALLEN: Yes , as I told the faculty that
day, I think the faculty should be involved
in the total campus life. They musn't in
my opinion say, "Don't meddle with the math-
ematics courses, or don't tell us how to run
geology," that's the only time they seem to
get disturbed. I thing a liberal arts col-
lege like Centenary should involve the en-
tire community. Faculty, students, admin-
istration.

CONGLOMERATE : Had they said, "We believe
the dorm hours of last spring are beautiful ;
we love 'em," would that have...

ALLEN: I'd have been in a real jam,
wouldn't I, becuase I would have been a-
lone. But as it is , they walked into
the vacuum.

CONGLOMERATE : So who's with you if
you're not alone now?

ALLEN: Well, I may be all alone any-
way. We'll never know where the faculty
is. *

CONGLOMERATE : What alternatives would
you approve? I believe you told Rick
Clark that you might approve longer hours
on weekends.

ALLEN: I have never refused to discuss
alternatives. My problem has been trving
to get someone to discuss them with me.

CONGLOMERATE : The attitude at that com-

let's see if we can keep pushing for the
hours that we really want.

ALLEN: It was all or nothing, which put
me in the impossible situation too.

CQNGLONERATE : As I wrote in one editor-
ial, one striking aspect of this whole thing
is that the students are asking just for
what they want. Really, it's a pretty con-
servative thing to just say, I want what we
had last semester. They aren't saying we
want no hours, they weren't saying we want
free sex in the dorms, they were just saying
we want what we had last semester, which
seemed pretty reasonable to me. It seemed
workable last semester. Vm picturing some
conversation you had on a mountain with the
Lord over the summer that said, "It worked
last semester but it won't this coming sem-
ester."

ALLEN: A major problem we had was a
purely administrative one and didn't relate
to behavior at all except that we have the
obligation to provide supervision and pro-
tection in dormitories during the times that
they're technically open. Finding students
who are willing and are able to work into
the wee small hours every night manning a
desk, keeping records, turning on the lights,
checking the doors, is tough--and not only
is difficult for them to do, but also is
difficult for us to finance and support.
That's a cold turkey reason that just bothers
us a great deal. And I'm giving you that
rationale outside of all the others.

But there's a complex of problems. And
of course there's a reaction from certain
parents and certain students. As I said in
my response to the alcohol question a couple
of years ago, if there's even a minority of
students who feel endangered by something,
I've got to listen to them very carefully'
and so we do. But I'd love to talk to some-
body . . .

CONGLOMERATE : What about separate dorms °
What about spring visitation hours in one
dorm and this semester's visitation hours
in another?

ALLEN: Let's discuss it. I think that's
something the Student Life Committee ought
to . . .

COMGLOMERATE: Okay, I'm in favor of it
Do you accept it?

ALLEN: (laughter) No, I can say I like
hot chocolate. Do you?

hours . 1 He feels that he can expand the
hours that we have, but he can't go as far
as we wanted him to."

Angered by the president's announced
decision as passed by word of mouth, ap-
proximately 150 students illegally "visited"
in James Dormitory early Tuesday morning,
arriving in the dorm at about 1 am and not
dispersing until 3 or 4 am. The unofficial
sit-in was termed peaceful by students who
were present, although many dorm residents
complained of excess noise.

Prior to the illegal visitation, male
students in Cline spent part of the night
venting their frustrations in the suites
and courtyard, yelling obscenities and
emptying fire extinguishers . Tuesday
morning, unsightly lengths of toilet paper
were found strewn around and upon Hamilton
Hall.

Rick Clark later attacked the night-
time doings, stating, "I don't care if
people boo me. What happened last night,
it did nothing but hurt us. I firmly
believe that. Quote me, kick me in the
rear, that's what I believe. If we ever
had any bargaining power or ever had any-
thing to negotiate, we're gonna lose it if
something like last night happens again....
That is not the course to take."

The Committee on Students Life met
Tuesday morning in the Smith Building with
the history of the petitions, meetings,
ancj the final rejection fresh in the members 1
minds. The purpose of the meeting, chaired
by college chaplain Robert Ed Taylor, was to
determine an official means of coping with
the president's decision. An interview ap-
pointment with Dr. Allen and a mass meeting
to communicate with students resulted from
this committee meeting.

Opening the meeting by rushing through
other committee business, Rev. Taylor then
read to the members and 40 student visitors
the text of Dr. Allen's written reply to the
resolution passed by the Student Senate
and the committee: "I am unable to accept
the recommendation that we return to the
dormitory visitation practices of last
spring, as submitted by the Committee on
Student Life. I believe there are workable
alternatives which would meet the needs and
requests of the students. To this end, I
have instructed Dean Miller to explore pos-
sibilities and make recommendations. You
are invited to participate in the effort."

Committee member Cindy Yeast, a sopho-
more senator, suggested " some kind of
audience or hearing or something with Presi-
dent Allen... so that we can hear his reason-
ing and then we could get some idea of what
would be possible, because otherwise we're
just going to keep banging our heads against
the wall. He keeps saying no, and we don't
know what he wants and what he doesn't want,
at least I don't."

Replying to this statement, Dr. Webb
Pomeroy stated that one possible reason for
the lack of knowledge might rest in the fact
that Dr. Allen has not attended any meeting
of the committee although he is a member ex-
officio. "I think that has been one of the
problems that I 'vs encountered, is that I
don't know why he dossn't come to the meet-
ings. He's a member of the committee, he
should at least tell us why he doesn't come
to the meetings . "

Member Mike Marcel 1 took up another
course and asked General John S. Hardy x
the Board of Trustees ' representative on the
committee, about the boards opinions and in-
sights into the problem of visitation. "I
have no insight," General Hardy replied.
"I really don't. We haven't discussed it.
This has not come up before the board, and
I'm not in a position to state how anybody
feels unless they have discussed it."

His personal opinion. General Hardy con-
tinued, representing only his thought "and
not the Board of Trustees, is that the Board
would be inclined to say that the college
could work this out without the Board of
Trustees getting into it."

Government instructor Wes Garvin told the
committee members that the students "are up-
set about the process, about the way it has
been handled: the decision being made during
the summer utien relatively few people were
here, the demand to go back througn channels,
the going back through channels: again, veto.
I think this is what's bothering most of the
students, at least that I've talked to, and
I think in this case they're absolutely right

in demanding the reasons for why the system
hasn't responded, since they vere told to use
the system."

The results of the Tuesday meeting were
a 3 pm Thursday appointment (yesterday, past
CONGLOMERATE deadlines) for the committee
with Dr. Allen to listen and discuss, and a
6:45 pm Thursday setting for a mass campus
meeting in the ampitheater.

While the students are preparing to
continue to contest Dr. Allen's decision,
Dean Eddy Miller and Dr. Louis Galloway have
been selected to look into the alternative
possibilities and recommendations suggested
in Dr. Allen's letter to the Committee on
Student Life chairman. In particular, they
will explore ideas concerning the Sub and its

closing hours, the library, and special "date
rooms." Dean Miller invited all interested
students to contact him with suggestions.
Rick Clark stated that Dr. Allen might be
open to later dorm hours on weekends.

Other issues involved in campus debate
concern coeducational dormitories , campus
security, noise in the dorms, brother-sister
attitudes vs . hunter-game attitudes , and the
limits within which student self-government
should have free rein. All that is really
clear in the dorm visitation dispute is that
students want more, Dr. Allen wants less, the
faculty doesn't GAD, and the Board of Trustees,
well , who knows? _

Murder in the Kingdom of Heaven

by Deanne Stillman

ALTERNATIVE FEATURES SERVICE

Mora Count y sheriff's officers and Dis-
trict Attorney Donaldo Martinez of Las
Vegas investigated Friday the shooting death
of Michael Press, about 25, of New York, N.Y.

Press was identified by friends who
lived at the Kindom of Heaven commune at
Guadalupita in Mora County. Sheriff Frank
Romero said Press apparently was running
from some type of confrontation at Guada-
lupita and was shot in the back. Press'
body was found Friday after his friends re-
ported the shooting and he didn't return.

I arrived early for one of the final
hearings and stood outside the old adobe
courthouse at Mora, near Guadalupita. I'd
come to find out why a freak from New York
was murdered in the Land of Enchantment. I
looked across the street to the Sangre de
Cristos, the mountains which harbor all the
answers , and lure the naive back to the
land.

It all seemed so easy, move to New

Mexico, get back to the land...

**

It's early 1970, communal life is in
vogue. If you're a hippie, you by-pass the
streets to go back to the lahd, because
the cities are making that final slide
toward death.' You don't really have a
destination, but "that's cool." Northern
New Mexico becomes home -- that's where
a lot of people are going and that's

where your ride takes you.

Once there, you realize that in rural
New Mexico the land is untouched, unre-
strained by fences and billboards, and
trees grow unconfined by telephone poles
or electrical wires. The horizon is un-
cluttered with neon signs or road instruc-
tions -- you aren't invited to eat at Joe's
or warned to keep out or turn right on
red or slow down. The green mountain hills
seem limitless and so do you.

This is the answer, you think. It's
uncorrupted, they haven't found it yet;
it's clean, it's pure, it's everything the
city isn't, so you decide to stay here and
live on/off the land. The old Spanish
villages lie hidden like unmined diamonds,
waiting for you to discover and refine
them. You've heard stories about local
reaction to strangers, but you're different,
and New Mexico's allure is irresistible.

Natives of northern New ftexico make
little contact with the outside. Some
villages still speak 17th century Spanish,
and many people think the Black Panthers
are wild animals you see in picture books.
But you don't know this, and you don't know
that the people have already met your
hirmie stereotype via the tube, their .
periodic connection with America, and you
don't know that young Gucanos hear about
free love from their teachers and talk
about it like it's as popular as eating
dinner. You don't know that these people
have spent lifetimes trying to acquire
middle class paraphernalia, while overnight
you discard it. A life of simplicity

awaits, and all you have to do is live it.
**

On August 5 and 6, 1970, the Kingdom
of Heaven dies: one member shot and killed,
three kidnapped and pistol -whipped, and a
fourth kidnapped and raped three times. The
death blows are quick and unexpected, al-
though signals of the Kingdom's fall come
often. The commune does not want to see.

Pretend you have grown up in Guada-
lupita, a small town nurtured and overdosed
on machismo, and you are one of the six
local men who will crush the Kingdom of

Heaven. The presence of the Kingdom is an
affront to community values, but you suffer
several other insults without reaction:
On hot days, commune residents
garden in the nude. A resident
speculates on your reaction --
'You see this girl and think, 'Here's
a pirl and she's naked on this piece
of property with all these guys
around. She must be ballin', why
isn't she ballin' me? I'm just as
good as them. ' "

A transient begins an argument
at the local bar. He talks about
the unimportance of money with a man
who can't understand why hippies
choose to be poor when they can be
rich. The man raises sheep for a
living, and lives in a two -room adobe
house. The hippie can't understand
why Chicanos strive for wealth because
to him money is meaningless. He is
emphatic, and fishes in his pocket
for money. He pulls out a five-dollar
bill, then burns it.

A transient with a hole in the
crotch of his pants walks into town,
penis hanging out of his pants. He
approaches the wife of a local store-
keeper and she is too stunned to move.
Two commune residents drive through
town, see him talking, scoop him up
and drive off. . The woman associates
him with the Kingdom, although he is not
a permanent resident.
Kingdom members are mildly upset about
these incidents, especially the last. But
they are not upset enough to exoel tran-
sients from the land., because they "don't
want to put anyone on bummers." Although
they dislike offending neighbors, they
want to maintain .an open door policy since
many other communes are beginning to screen
or reject strangers.

Hippies are unwelcome in Guadalupita,
and local residents try several times to
communicate their hate and fear to commune
members. Incidents foretell a grim future,
but early signals might not drive you out
of a town you decide to call home, because
quitting is not the American way, and after
all, it sounds like something out of Easy
Rider.

The scenario is this : Anglos arrive
in Guadalupita looking for the Kingdom,
and local people give intentional wrong
directions, sometimes guiding them to
more hostile territory. Often they tell
longhairs to get out, or simply ignore
them. Hitchhikers frequently wait for
a couple of days to get out of town.
Young Oucanos flash peace signs to
strangers coming through town or to
commune residents, but the gesture is a

trying to decipher the ^message.

August 5, 1970, evening. Six men get
drunk and decide to rough up the hippies. •
They drive through town, and see three men
and a woman, all Kingdom residents, walking
home. At gunpoint, they force them into the
trunks of their two cars. They drive from
bar to bar, stopping at each one, exhibit-
ing their terrified cargo, then come to a
rest at a lake twenty miles south of Guada-
lupita. While she is still in the trunk,
they rape the woman three times. They
pistol -whip the men and leave them to die.
But nobody dies, and miraculously they get
back to the Kingdom. They decide not to
contact the authorities.

August 6, 1970, evening. Six gun-toting
drunks surprise three commune residents as
they sit around a fire, discussing last
night's kidnappings. The intruders tell
them not to move or they will die, but two
of the three run for the safety of the ,
dark, alien night. A bullet hits one in the
back and he dies instantly, the other es-
capes. The men march the third into town,

mock,' not a sign of solidarity.

Several times Kingdom residents are
harrassed by local studs who hope to
push the hippies into a fight. Sometimes
their taunts are verbal, and other times
they pull knives, but fights never materia-
lize. The victims are stigmatized as
"chickens." Men with long hair are called
girls. Braless women are great curiousi-
ties, and the reality of seeing them coin-
cides with the media-created images of
'hippie chicks." These signals arouse no
fear, though.

One afternoon, a caravan of young and
old Chicanos masquerading as hippies
marches up the hill to the Kingdom. Some
wear head bands and beads , and others have
their faces decorated with war paint. »A
bizarre funeral parade, they climb the hill,
saying nothing. Commune residents watch,

a pistol at his back. On the way, they
force him to. climb barbed-wire barefooted,
but somehow he escapes . He runs back to
the Kingdom to join- other residents, now
refugees, who are hiding on the side of a
mountain. At dawn, a search party finds the
dead man.

**

Two years later, the insanity of that 48
hours has met justice. Not the kind of
justice the dead man's parents would have
wanted, and not the kind of justice the vic-
tims of the attack might have wanted.

In July charges against all but one were
reduced to charges of aggravated battery.
The five men pleaded guilty and received
suspended sentences and minimal fines. The
sixth was charged with voluntary manslaughter
because the D.A. said he was the ringleader.
He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to $500
fine and two -ten years in prison.

It was the justice of poorly lubricated
judicial machinery, of complex, time-stal-
ling legal maneuvers, and of a reported
eyewitness disappearance.

Defense motions for consolidation and
for change of venue delayed the trial for
over a year, and then Martinez, the D.A. ,
said key witnesses could not be found.
A counter- report said they were in town* to
testify, housed in a shack near the court-
house, and were told if they talked, they
would die. They left town.

The woman didn't show for the rape
trial, because at the preliminary hearing,
she was painfully intimidated, asked typical
rape questions (Did you like it?).

It's now summer, 1972, and although com-
mual life is not in vogue, latecomers go
west, looking for a life of peace and tran-
quility. A young man, long hair, backpack,
stands on Route 66, thumb out. 'Taos" is
magic-markered onto a piece of cardboard
he holds in his other hand. I stop to
ask why he is going to Taos .

"I heard it's really far-out and they
got a lot of dope growing out there. Hey
man, Taos is where it all started."

I think of the freak who burnt money in
the face of a town which has none and want
either to vomit or cry. I pull back on
the road and drive away.

Who Says That Stuff In
Your Food Is Poisonous?

by Elinor Houldson/AFS

An inflexible, absolute and "unsci-
entific" rule is currently your only pro-
tection against cancer- causing food addi-
tives.

Passed in 1958, the Delaney amend-
ment to the Food Additives Law stated
that "No additive shall be deemed safe if
it is found, after tests which are ap-
propriate for the evaluation of the
safety of food additives, to induce
cancer in man or animal."

But the Delaney rule has provided
something less than absolute protection.
Within the Federal Government, there is
behind-the-scenes manipulating of the
law's enforcement, inappropriate testing,
and much sympathy for the food industry,
with little tenderness for its victims.

Although the Delaney rule is credited
for knocking cyclamate sweeteners off
market shelves after tests revealed cy-
clanates caused bladder cancer in rats,
the ruling came years after cyclamates had
been banned or severely restricted in
Japan, Canada and the Soviet Union.

DES (diethylstibesterol) , a proven
carcinogen ( cancer -producer) often used to
fatten livestock, was only reluctantly
banned by the Food and Drug Administra-
tion. Then Secretary of Agriculture
Earl L. Butz took up the cattle industry's
cause ^omplaining that "The result is that
the p^lic is deprived of a product that
helpi ibstantially to produce a record
amount of high-quality beef more effi-
ciently at less cost to consumers.

Consumers, of course, are caught
between an inevitable increase in the al-
ready bloated price of beef, and the risk
of dining on a possible source of cancer.

Opponents of the Delaney rule plan
to put up a fight over PES with the
argument tnat the law is "unscientific."
They insist the concept of zero tolerance
is unfair, that there are obvious dif-
ferences between men and animals, and if
an additive is found to be carcinogenic
in animals, it doesn't follow that it
will also be so in humans.

While he was Nixon's Secretary of the
Department of Health, Education and Wel-
fare, Robert Finch suggested that "the

Delaney Amendment be modified to t

permit some scientific rationality in making V
these decisions. If we were to apply the
criteria of the Delaney Amendment across
the board, eventually we would be reduced
to a nation of vegetarians and even some
of the vegetables would have to be banned." /
That, however, is a risk we won't /
likely be forced to take, because the /
Delaney rule certainly hasn't been applied /
across the board. I

Still in wide use are cancer-producing \
saccharin, potassian nitrite, sodium
nitrite, and coloring for citrus fruit.

Even when the FDA does ban a product,
it doesn't bring an immediate stop to its
use. In August, for instance, the FDA
proposed banning the use of asbestos -
contaminated talc used in products such
as dry foods , chewing gum and vitamin
supplements. But before the FDA makes its
final ruling, parties affected by the
proposed ban will get their say in a
hearing before the agency next October.
And this proposed ban is not on all talc--
just talc contaminated by asbestos, which
is known to be cancer -causing when inhaled.

Lobbyists from the faim states are
fighting for a change in the Delaney rule so
livestock can again be fattened with DES.
Theirs will be the strongest attempt yet
to breach the provisions of the 1958 law.

* , As research adds to the list of known
cancer -producing substances, and agri-
business prepares the assault on Delaney's
rule, consumers' defense remain limited and
weak.

cremation is fast becoming the
alternative to burial in many parts of
the U.S. This trend is greatest on the
Pacific coast, where last year 17 per
cent of those who died were cremated.
The shortage of land for cemeteries, and
the high cost of gravesites and their
maintenance, are the major reasons for
the increased use of cremation. The
Cremation Association of America also
promotes its service as an "aid to
public health and to save the land for
the living." The six to ten pounds of
cremains (the proper term for ashes of
a cremated person) are generally buried
or scattered to the wind or sea.

Some archeologists are concerned
that future historians will have a dis-
torted view of our civilization if
everyone is cremated and no buried
bodies are available for investigation.
But one pessimist believes: "It will
be some time before we have to worry
about it... and man will have eliminated
himself by then anyway."

Jeffrey Smith, 22, is currently
serving a seven to fifteen-year tern
at the Green Haven prison in New York

Smith was convicted and sentenced in
1969- -but times have changed, and he'd
get off much easier now for the same
offense. In fact, when the New York

nia are likely to receive longer prison
teims than rapists. State crime
statistics for 1969 reveal that the
median prison sentence for non-violent
acts of sex perversion, indecent ex-
posure and sodomy, with human or ani-
mal, was 41 months compared to 36
months for "rape with great bodily
injury." More recent figures are
believed to be similar. Convicted non-
violent sex offenders, many of whom
are homosexuals, also generally get
heavier sentences than persons found
guilty of assault with a deadly weapon
(36 months) and first degree burglary
(37 months) .

But change may be in the air. On
September 11, 1972, the California Su-
preme Court ruled unconstitutional the
state law making it a felony, punish-
able by one to 15 years imprisonment,
for any individual to participate "in
the act of copulating the mouth of one
person with the sexual organ of
another." Other states are exDected
to follow the California precedent,
although the way they make it sound in
the law books, mavbe it should be il-
legal.

The Committee to Re-elect the
President --or CREEP, as some Nixon
.foes call it --regularly sends "ob-
servers" to McGovem press confer-
ences and appearances. At one recent
McCovern speech, the microphones fail-
ed. The Senator, noting the Watergate
"bugging" incident and the reputation
of CREEP members as electronic wizards,
suggested the Nixon men in the audience
be asked to help repair the sound
svstem.

Why Buy Toothpaste?

As a result of a survey of more than 500
corrnercial tooth pastes, powders and mouth-
washes, the American Dental Association (ADA)
has concluded that for the average person
the most suitable inexpensive dentifrice is
probably baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) ,
and the most suitable mouthwash is water
with a little baking soda in it.

A few dentifrices contain sugar, the ADA
says, and many contain phosphates. If stains
accumulate on the teeth despite the use of
baking soda, a commercial dentifrice can be
used occasionally.

The ADA rated 21 popular dentifrices on
the basis of their abrasiveness in wearing
away tooth enamel: Plus White and Vote were
among the worst offenders, Listerine and Pep-
sodent among the safest.

As to mouthwashes, it said it "does not
presently recognize any substantial contri-
bution to oral health in the unsupervised use
of medicated mouthwashes by the general pub-
lie Even claims that mouthwashes overcome
mouth odors should be viewed with some re-
serve. Breath odors may result from poor
oral or systemic disease which may be of
serious concern." '

Hawks Win 132-131

Pistol Pete Celebrates
Homecoming »-iGuns 25

n\7 Tnm MoY<eV> ol 1

by Tom Marshall

BATON ROUGE- -Pistol Pete Maravich celebrated his 'homecoming"
to the LSU campus by scoring 25 points- -including two key bas-
kets—as the Atlanta Hawks scored a 132-131 overtime vic-
tory over the Houston Rockets in a National Basketball Associa-
tion preseason game here Tuesday night.

From the moment he stepped on the floor, through a hot streak
in the first quarter, until the final horn at the end of the
overtime Maravich gave the fans the show that they had come to see

The big crowd- -although less than the expected 14,500 sell-
out- -gave Pete a rousing reception when the Hawks took the floor
for their pregame warmup and then rocked the Assembly Center with
a two-minute standing ovation when the six- foot -five eager was
the first player announced in the preliminary introductions.
From then on it was Pete's show as the former LSU great with
a record collegiate average of better than 44 points per game
hit on first three field goal attempts and had nine points in' the
first quarter. In addition to the 25 points,
Maravich handed out a game-high eight assists
The first was a behind-the-back bounce pass
to teammate Lou Hudson on a Hawk fast break.
The crowd roared its approval and Pete took
the cue for more of the same.

When Pete went to the bench for a rest
early in the fourth quarter, the crowd
picked up the chant "We Want Pete!" It
wasn't long before Atlanta coach Cotton
Fitzsimmons decided that he NEEDED Pete as
he called for the Pistol with 1:44 to go
in regulation and his Hawks trailing 120-
114. Pete's 15- footer from the corner
pulled Atlanta to within two a 120-118 with
1:07 to go. Then, after Atlanta center Walt
(Bells) Bellamy tipped in a Maravich miss,
Houston's Mike Newlin put the Rockets ahead
122-120 and force the overtime. New Hawks' coach Cotton Fitzsimmons

The Rockets jumped out to a 127-124 lead expressed his confidence in the third -

After the game, Pete said of his return to

adding that the fans in the assembly were a
"Great crowd- -great crowd. There's a lot of
good memories here," added Pete. Which one
stands out the most? "There's tod many to
single one out," was all the floppy-haired
pro would answer.

Much of what he said sounded like stock
answers to often -asked question. Do the
Hawks have a contender this year? 'Too

organized now. But," he continued,
"Everybody starts off even--we'll just
wait and see." Is Pete feeling top notch
after last season's bout with mononucleo-
sis? "I'm fully recovered from last season,"
was the answer.

Back in the locker room Maravich was
still fielding questions as he packed his
No. 44 Hawks Jersey with "Pistol" emblazoned
across the back. Someone asked him how many
more years he wanted to play pro basket-
ball. That brought a laughter from his team-
mates- -mostly older pros --and one suggested
that Pete would probably play until "they
carry him off on a stretcher." Pete affirmed
and then added a little more seriously, "This
is a good paying job. I'm going to play until
I get the big diamond ring on my finger.
Then I'm going to quit."

King Shares Crown

Robert Huck, Sr., more usually
referred to around these Darts as
"P.K. Bob", has turned over manage-
ment — although not ownership —
of The Pizza King to Jim Carnn,
former manager of Pizza Hut.

Huck this summer started a
business enterprise called "P.K.
Concessions", an undertaking which
has outgrown his canacity to handle
it along with the oizza Darlor. It
now includes the concessions at the
MotoCross Paces, the Playland (roller)
Skating Pink, and the Linwood Ice
Skating Pink.

Carnn, says Huck, was nicked
because Huck wonted a trained Dizza
nan (a nizzano?). Carnn has been in
the nizza business for the last couple
of years, dealing with the type of
assemblage to which the Pizza King
caters, and has Huck's rating of com-
petent .

The change begins next Thursday,
the 12th (famous for the exploits of
another tyne of crusty Italian im-
port). Huck will still be around,
however, "tutoring" Carm until the
first week of November, when his mair
Dersonal emnhasis will shift to his
other endeavors. Even then, he will
be around the oar lor a good part of
the time.

ino the -Poods, sunnly sources, and the
use of the blender in the author's re-
cines. But for the most nart the my-
stified cool: just nlunged into the re-
cines, and discovered the foods as she
went along. Gradually seeds, snrouts ,
wheat crerm, yoghurt, dulse, soybean pro-
ducts and nutritional yeast were intro-
duced to family and friends, and event-
ually a demand for these food.- was built
un at health stores, coons and suner-
narkets.

Now comes The Natural r oods Primer :
I'eln for the Bewildered. Bee inner. The

format is completely different: there
are relatively few recines. Mostly it
is a very readable exnlanation, olus
ideas on adjusting your own recines,
anH inventing new ones.

Tie p rimer introduces natural foods
as a way of life. It teaches you how
to read labels as you shon, what to
choose, what to avoid. It lists well
over a hundred items to add to your
food list, explaining uses and values
of each item. It also nresents serving
ideas .

The chanters on care, storage, nre-
naration and equinment used, includes
much of value, Por examnle, a reminder
never to use your meat cutting board
for vegetables , fruit, cheese, etc.
Honefully, neat is cooked thoroughly
enough to kill organisms which cause
salmonella. But foods eaten raw, or
barely cooked to nreserve nutrients
and color, can be contaminated by this
kind of food poisoning. Also eggs are
norous and should not be exnosed on
those built-in egg slots of the refrig-
erator- -esoecially if you use them raw
in egg nog or health drinks. Keen them
covered in their carton, and don't use
the cracked ones.

The final chanter, "Do Your tyn
Thing' contains vital information on
snroutino seeds and grains, starting
yogurt and other milk cultures, grind-
ing your own grain, starting sourdough,
mixino cereal, makino salad dressings,
vineoar, sauerkraut, drying fruit,
toastinp soybeans, and all the other
nrocedures you've been wondering about.

Both these books by Beatrice Trum
Hunter are worthwhile- -one is not
merely an extension or revision of the
other. Start with Primer , for a whole
new approach to food, or start with
Cookbook and proceed methodically, by
selecting certain recines. Eventually
you'll want both in your kitchen.

It's In The Cards

by Cherry Payne

"Oftentimes people get worried when the card of Death turns up. Actually, it is a very good card
for most people as it indicates a change in things." This statement was made by Pattie Overstreet a
senior at Centenary who is more than passingly interested in the Tarot.

The Tarot, known by most people as "those cards you read your fortune with" seems to have gained
in popularity within the past few years. What most people don't seem to realize, however is that
reading The Tarot is quite an art in itself which takes much time, patience and effort to'develop,
partially due to the individual sensitivity required and the complexity of the cards Pattie and'
several other friends have been pursuing this for the past two years or so and, judging from her re-
sponses during my interview with her, has been continually intrigued, amazed and challenged by The

Pattie answered many of my own questions and clarified many things which I had misunderstood
primarily because I was aware of the Tarot only through rumors and 'the like. Pattie admits that when
she first became aware of The Tarot she was quite skeptical and became interested only because of a
friend. Yet, she says that the more she played with them and learned about them, the more interested
she became and realized that there is much more to The Tarot than appears on the surface

Perhaps the one thing that fascinates me the most is Pattie 's own interpretation of the signi-
ficance of The Tarot. She repeatedly emphasized the fact that the cards do not predict the future
Rather, they show the tendency one's life is taking because of the particular emotions and problems
the querent , or person who is having the cards read, is encountering at that time of his life The
querent , according to theory, transmits his emotions to
the cards and through the cards to the reader. Hence,
a great deal of sensitivity and empathy is required
on the part of the reader to make a significant inter-
pretation. This, Pattie maintains, is why The Tarot
is so closely related to psychic phenomena. Pattie 's
own interpretation of HOW the cards work is most fas-
cinating. She feels that God may be interpreted as a
pattern in the universe. She regards the Tarot as be-
ing on the same wavelength as this pattern, and con-
sequently, is able to give the querent some insight in-
to himself. It is dangerous, Pattie feels, to take
the cards too seriously or as a statement of the way
things are to be, as she maintains that an individual
may conciously change those things that the cards seem
to indicate. Thus , they help one in that they serve as
a means of self- illumination and help the querent to
look at oneself from a more objective point of view.

Pattie does not feel that she herself is psychic,
but did point out that her interest in The Tarot is
continually augmented by the insight and sensitivity
she feels she is attaining through her experiences in
this area. Yet, one point that she made that I found
fascinating is that the cards must be treated very
gently for them to respond effectively at a reading.
For instance, each reader must become familiar with
his own deck of cards and build some sort of "bond"
with them. Pattie keeps her cards wrapped in a special
cloth. She noted that when one first attains a deck
(and they must be given by a friend, not bought) it is
necessary to sleep with the cards under one's pillow in
order to establish a familiarity with the deck by means

Dr. Allen's Decision:
New Dorm Hours

by Jeff Daiell
Centenary's seven-week imbroglio over
dormitory visitation hours apparently
came to a close this week, with both sides
giving and taking.

Last Friday, the Student Life Com-
mittee devised the following formula for
visitation: (1) 1st semester freshmen would
be restricted to the current hours , and then
only with parental permission (according to
Dean of Students Eddy Miller, such permis-
sion has already been required), (2) second-
semester freshmen would enjoy upper-class
hours (see next point) , also with parental
consent, (3) upperclassmen would have visi-
tation hours of: for the boys, 2 p.m. to
midnight Sunday through Thursday, 2 p.m. to
1 a.m. Friday and Saturday; for the girls,
from 2 p.m. until the dorm closes each
night, and (4) the preceding three points
would be implemented in conjunction with the
recommendations submitted by the group head-
ed by Dean Miller, which was to suggest al-
ternative proposals "for social interaction"
besides just open visitation.

Monday, the proposals of the Student
Life Committee were submitted to President

THE CONGLOMERATE

Gentleman Mi Ice Marcel 1 and Gentlewoman

Netta Hares, above, ponder the wherefores.

New Lady and Gent,
Frosh Senators Picked

by John Wiggin

Two things are certain about this year's
student elections. They have been emotional,
therefore dispelling some of the apathy that
usually surrounds campus elections, and they
have had a rather different flavor because
of the emotionalism and also because of the
candidates themselves.

Highlighting the elections were the
freshmen races for seats on the Senate. In
the Freshman male senatorial race, Joey
Lacoste won a majority of the votes in Mon-
day's primary over Jim Morris and Tracy
Howard (49-34-11, respectively). Mary Jane
Peace lacked only two votes for a majority
in the primary, but won in a run-off with
Jonna Jones (65-30). One vote separated
Karen Stephenson and Jonna Jones in the
primaries .

Holly Hess, sole announced candidate,
was elected to the vacant Junior female
Senate seat in the primary election over
any write-in candidates on the ballot.

Centenary students chose Netta Hares
as Centenary Lady and Mike Marcel as
Centenary Gentleman in the run-offs. Kathy
Stephenson and Sharon McCallon were in the
run-off with Netta (Hares 114, Stephenson 93,
McCallon 87) . Mike beat out Chad Carnahan
by a narrow margin (147-141) in the run-off
for Centenary Gent.

In an attempt to give the students more
voice in making the decisions affecting the
student body, the election of Centenary
Beauties was for the first time left to the
students . The twelve girls who received the
most nominations in Monday's election were
placed on the ballot for Tuesday's election.
From the twelve, the seven who received the
most votes were chosen for Centenary Beau-
ties. Those girls are: Carol Brian, Leslie
Goens, Sharon FlcCallon, Joyce Carlson, Jonna
Jones, Kathy Stephenson, and Larin Graves.

Barry Williams, head of the Senate
election committee, s^aid that voting had
been heavier than expected. 269 people cast
ballots in Monday's election, with 300 people
voting in the final election. Barry also
said that anyone wishing to contest the
elections must contact him or the vice-
president of the S.G.A. within 10 days.

In the W. S.G.A. frosh election, Leslie
Bennett received a majority in the primary
to be elected to one of two vacant freshman
seats in the W. S.G.A. Cindy Benoit and
Jan Gresham went in the run-off for the other
vacant seat, with Cindy Benoit taking the
majority of the votes in the final election.

The election of the men's judicial
boards was also included in the election.
Three boards, Cline, Rotary, and off -campus,
were chosen. Elected were Browne and Wood-
ruff at Rotary, Hardt and Musselman at Cline,
and Chad Carnahan, Ed Hiendlmayr, and
Curtis flelancon from the town students.

Visitation for LSU Greeks

A proposal to allow visitation riphts for
the opposite sex in the private living areas
of fraternity and sorority houses at LSU in
Baton Rouge has been submitted to Dean James
W. Reddoch, vice chancellor for. Student
Affairs, for annroval.

The nroposal was approved unanimously by
Panhellenic Council and IPC earlier last week.
The oroposal will be optional for those fra-
ternities and soroities which do not want the
visitation rights.

Griff ith Heads Alums

Centenary College has a new Alumni
Director this year. His name is Mac
Griffith, replacing Bob Holladay. Mr.
Griffith is a '69 Centenary Physics and
Math graduate, has taught here on a
part-time basis, and has worked in our
Admissions Department. He beat out
several other candidates for the job over
a five -week selection period.

His job, as he sees it, is to show
alums that Centenary still cares for her
own, even long after they have extended
their wings and departed the collegiate
nest. It is also to remind them that the
College ever and anon needs their help,
including help in recruiting (a major
factor with all Centenary departments) .

His specific duties include Home-
coming, sending out news to alumni (the
Development Department publishes Centen-
ary , a magazine for alums) , the Alumni
Board, the Great Teachers Fund, Alumni
Scholarships, Outstanding Teacher, Hall
of Fame, and the Century Club.

He definitely needs, he stressed,
student help of many sorts, not only
for the various projects his office needs
must conduct, but as well in the routine
and daily functions of his department.
He does not expect, Mr. Griffith made clear,
student anger over Dr. Allen's dormitory
visitation actions to keep students from
assisting him in these activities.

While he has no definite plans for the
future in his department, Mr. Griffith
pointed out that he has complete freedom
to try what he sees fit, although plans are
discussed with the other members of the
Development Department, and, of course,
President Allen has veto power in the final
analysis.

Smelly Lobby

A strong and revolting stench, smelling quite
similiarly to beer-and-pizza upchuck, hit
the lobby of Cline Dorm Monday night.

According to Byron T. Wells, resident
expert on vomit, the inhabitants of the dorm
made every attempt to locate the source of the
smell, but to no avail. Wells said several
students searched the entire lobby, includ-
ing air vents and the like without accosting
the offending substance or substances.

As of this writing (Tuesday mojming) ,
the smell was still there. How long it
would last is unknown.

The Big List

Ever wonder whose* names make it into that
big red barrel for 'V/ho's Who" nominations?
The following list, furnished by Dean Rawlin-
son, should satisfy your curiosity.

Final selections are made by the faculty
members of the Committee on Student Life,
after determining whether the nominee meets
certain selective criteria. This list,
dated Monday, is not final, and not all list-
ed are qualified.

Pledges Abolished

Oklahoma State University's chapter of
Lambda Chi Alpha social fraternity, Alpha
Eta Zeta, is the first Greek organization
on campus to eliminate its pledging pro-
gram.

A new "associate member' program,
initiated by the fraternity's national office
on voluntary basis for individual chapters,
shortens the pledging period to eight to
12 weeks , compared with some 20 weeks under
the nledge system.

Gl Benefits Bloom

Almost 350,000 veterans and servicemen
with less than a high school education have
entered training under the G. I. Bill, Ad-
ministrator of Veterans Affairs Donald E.
Johnson said today. The VA chief predicted
that even larger numbers will take advan-
tage of their G. I. benefits under the stim-
ulus of new government programs geared to
support and encourage the back -to- school
movement .

The participation rate for "disadvan-
taged veterans" (those who have not com-
pleted high school) rose from 16.7 percent
as of June 30, 1971, to 23.0 a year later.

Among the new government programs that
will turn even more of the "turned off"
toward training, Johnson said, is a new
program announced last week by the Depart-
ment of Health, Education and Welfare.

liam F. Buckley, he is the younger brother
of the Hon. James Buckley, Senator from New
York State, and of William F. Buckley, Jr.,
editor-in-chief of National Review .

Strongly opinionated and possessing a
lively imagination, as befits a novelist,
Reid Buckley is always taking a searching
look at contemporary society and prognosti-
cating on its future.

The author of Hie Eye of the Hurricane ,
a novel stressing the ecological depredation
Americans have committed on nature and their
own spiritual heritage, Reid Buckley has
contributed to Vogue , Diplomat , The Atlantic
Monthly , Life and other magazines"! He him-
self has been assistant to the editor of
Freeman Magazin e, and a contributing editor

himself there as a debator, editor and
writer.

Reid Buckley is well acquainted with life
in Spain, where he lived for many years, and
in Portugal , France and other European
countries as well.

MLP Children's Theater

by Robert Buseick and Betty Blakley
Children's Theater, or better yet "Theatre
Designed for Children" is an active part of
the theatre program at Centenary College. As
a training device for actors it is one of
the most effective ways to develop broad and
yet clearly designed techniques in acting
for the student. It also provides an exper-
ience for students to understand audiences
and their reactions, as no audience is as
truthful or honest as is an audience made up
of children. Children know what they like
and if they do not like what they are being
given they have no hesitation in telling it
loud and clear.

For the past four years at least one
show a year has been given with a children's
audience clearly in mind. This year for
the first time the actual production will be
moved out of the Marjorie Lyons Playhouse
and into the Smith Building Auditorium for
six performances the last three Saturdays in
October with matinee performances at 1 and
3 p.m.

The show is called TAKE ME TO THE TREA-
SURE and was written by two young playwrights
in Oklahoma who believe in allowing the aud-
ience to be involved in important matters re-
lated to the story and in some cases to shape

of the need for close actor -audience relation
the Smith Building was selected and the show
will be performed in the round so that no
member of the audience will be more than 10
feet from the actors and the action.

Four very experienced Centenary College
students make up the talented cast and in-
cludes Cece Russell, Susie Gates. Dan Chris-
tiaens. and Jerry Benefiel.

Princess Telmeetru (Susie Gates) of the
Sunshiny Indians knows the secret of the
buried treasure. Bad Bart (Jerry Benefiel)
is determined to find it himself and chases
the princess to steal her treasure map.
What Bad Bart doesn't know is that there is
no map. This puts the Princess in real
danger. Enter Teddy Drew (Dan Chris tiaens) ,
an itinerant artist, and Madame Florita
Flouncebustle (Cece Russell) , owner of a
secondhand "trash or treasure" store, to
save the day. Madame Flouncebustle master-
minds a plan that enlists the aid of Teddy
Drew to rescue the princess. You'll have
to see the play to know how it ends.

age, but adults would probably enjoy the play
more if they bring a child, age 4 to 1? with
them. Be sure not to miss TAKE m TO THE

Greater New Orleans.

This amendment raises the Orleans Levee
Board's mi 11 age by 2-1/2 mills and dedicates
this money to hurricane protection.

Without this increase in millage all
work will stop on the Lake Pontchartrain and
Vicinity Hurricane Protection Project. The
state will lose matching federal funds, and
a $300,000,000 construction project will not
get off the ground.

Much more important, however, is the need
to protect lives and property. Studies by
the U.S. Corps of Engineers and by the
National Hurricane Center show that a
hurricane similar to Camille, or even
Betsy, passing New Orleans on a critical
path would put ten feet of water on Canal
Street, drown 100,000 human beings and so
$1,000,000,000 worth of property damage.
We are vulnerable to this destruction un-
less this project is completed.

Without this project the U. S. Corps
of Engineers estimates that the eastern
part of New Orleans, that part east of
the Industrial Canal, will suffer flood-
ing at least once every forty years . How
in the world can we proceed with develop-
ment in this area with this catastrophic
threat hanging over the lives and pro-
perty of our people?

The passage of such an important,
necessary amendment should be easy, but
although it was approved in the city by
the voters who would pay for it, the
amendment failed to carry statewide. Now
our backs are to the wall, the money has
run out and the work will stop.

We need the help of all community
leaders in the passage of this amendment.
Only through the support and endorsement
of "Concerned Citizens", such as yourself,
will we be able to make this project a

'Those who have had
a chance fix four years
and could not produce peace
should not be given
another chance.''

reality. We would greatly appreciate an
editorial endorsement of Amendement #6 by
your newspaper.

No Two Masters

by Jeff Daiell
I am writing this a week before you read
it, two nights after having seen Love Story
for the second time. I cried; I '11 admit it.
I did the first time, too, even hearing it
in Spanish with English sub -titles (this
was in Little Havana in Miami) . The only
persons who would not cry at Love Story are
smart -aleck aspiring Tarzans seeking to dis-
play their pseudo -gonadal sophistication
(not -crying at Love Story being easier than
stuffing a wadded -up pair of socks down one's
crotch). Indeed, if one accepts Robert Hein-
lein's criterion of what constitutes true
art (I acceDt it as one of two possible
criteria) , the evocation of emotion from the
beholder, then Love Story is superlative art.
If you don't, it was still skillfully con-
structed; call it trash, but brilliantly-
engineered trash. So almost everybody (note
above mentioned exceptions) cried.

With me, though, the tears were not mere-
ly for the nathos of the situation, but also
for the injustice of it all. Yeah, yeah,
Love Story is fiction, sure; but would it
have •been" anywhere near as devastatingly ef-
fective had it not been a reasonably accurate
reflection of true life as it happens hun-
dreds of times across the world everyday?
Of course not. So I saw Love Story as in-
dicative of the cruelty of fate.

The first time I saw Love Story , and the
second time, I wanted to go out and find Cod
and give him a savage kick in the genitals.
I couldn't find him the first time. The
second time I didn't even bother to look.

But it made me think about people

people who worship Cod any (G)god.

With occurences like the one portrayed by
Love Story happening every day, to hundreds
of people, all over the world; people who
have done nothing to deserve such cruel
caprice, innocent people whose only pas-
sionate deeds were those of love; with all
the wretchedness of fate, how can any rat-
ional entity reconcile this with the con-
cent of a (C)god? How can any thinking person
recognize God as anything but the world's
most convenient excuse, cop-out, line of
least resistance?

More vitally, since if a (G)god exists,
it could be evil as well as beneficient,
I guess, how can anybody conceivably wor-
ship such a creature? By what grotesque and
hideous perversion of morality and sanity
can anyone praise such a being, sing its
laurels, dance its glory, pay toamage in
laudatory reverence, sacrifice to it or for
it? How, in the the name of decency, HOW?

If such a being exists (and anything is
possible), if is obviously the enemy of Man-
kind, not , as some would, against all rat-
ionality, suggest, His friend; the enemy of
Earth and of Life itself. That being, if
being there is, is obviously cruel, sadistic,

arbitrary, capricious, and infantile; a
dangerous companion and a terrible master.
Any true adherent to morality will recoil
in shuddering and nauseated horror from
this wretched fiend; those who slaver
fawningly after it have abdicated their
very humanity.

For those who have not as yet cast their
lots, the time has come to choose; to choose
whether one will side with the forces of Man
and of Life, or with the forces of God and
of Death. It cannot rationally be both
ways. As Yeshua the carpenter himself said,
"No man can serve two masters."

Nor can there be any moral middle ground.
To quote John Gait, in Ayn Rand's Atlas
Shrugged , "There are two sides to every
issue. One side is right, and the other is
wrong; but the middle is always evil." So,
people, in the words of Francisco d* Anconia
fsame book): 'Take your choice --- there is
no other — and your time is running out."

Editor's Note:
My Dear Wormwood ,

I enjoyed the clipping you sent me writ-
ten by your natient Jeff Daiell, and was
sumrised to learn that this attack was cir-
culated in The Enemy's own territory . The
article (in a CONGLOMERATE oninion column)
surely will please Our Father Below, because
it shows a real weakness in The Enemy's
camn. I do not understand The Enemy's to-
lerant ways which permit, in his own halls
of learning, that which Our Father would call
sedition; but The Enemy anoarently works in
ways giving some sort of "self-determination"
or "freedom" to his subjects. All the better
for the success of Our Father's discinles ,
eh?

Your affectionate uncle,

EMPEROR'S CLOTHES

Editor's Note: Jeff Daiell's article
a couple of weeks ago concerning McGovern' s
attitudes on wealth attempted to scourge
the candidate from the right. The following
article takes another perspective .

WEALTH IS SAFE WITH McGOVERN

Presidential hopeful George S. McGovern
went to Wall Street well before Labor Day
to spell out his plans to tax the rich. Yet
so far the princes of finance have steered
the market clear of a crash which would
punish the Senator for his would-be populism.

The reason for such calm, if we are to
believe the pollsters and the pundits, is
simply that America's financial managers do
not believe that Senator can win in November.
So why should big money worry?

But there's more to Wall Street's bliss
than that.

With or without Senator McGovern as Pre-
sident, in the next four years Congress will
face mounting pressure to reform the tax
system and, until new loopholes can be cre-
ated, to sharpen the tax bite on the rich.

That much is inevitable, and the smart
money knows it.

What now reassures them, though, is that
even "radicals" like Senator McGovern have
no plan to break up or redistribute already
existing fortunes. The goal is simply a pro-
gressive tax on income, with no concern at
all about the more enduring source of pri-
vilege and power -- accumulated wealth.

A recent article in the influential
Business Week makes clear the ~ost of this
omission. While the top 10 percent of Ameri-
can adults get 29 percent of all income, the
magazine reported, they own 56 percent of
all personal property and financial assets.
The top one percent alone own roughly ZS per-
cent of the wealth.

The down side of the coin presents an
even more dramatic picture. While the bot-
tom half of all income recipients in 1969
drew slightly less than one quarter of all
personal income, their share of the wealth
was just three percent. The lowest 10 per-
cent of the population actually owned less
than nothing, owing more than they owned.

Worse yet, if Business Week is correct,
the gap between rich and poor is probably
growing, with obvious impact on the poor
and needy.

Senator McGovern's tax package, if
adopted, would hardly affect these numbers.

f— Sipress-

ALTERNATIVE FEATURES SERVICE

It might increase the bite on the yearly
income of the rich, particularly from owner-
ship of oil wells, real estate, and money.
It would also up inheritance taxes, forcing
those with large estates to rely more heavi- •
ly on tax-avoiding trusts and foundations.

But if Senator McGovern is the worst
Wall Street has to fear, wealth itself is
safe. Equality in the U. S., it turns out,
is still as distant as it is in some Banana
Republic .

Rhodes Rules Detailed

The time is nigh for those who wish to
become Rhodes Scholars to do something about
it. To qualify as a Phodes Scholar, one
must be a male U.S. citizen, single, between
eighteen and 24 as of the first of October
(relaxation of maximum age possible for
veterans), be at least a junior, and receive
official endorsement from your college or
university.

That just qualifies you. The virtues
forming the basis of selection are (1) scho-
lastic ability, (2) manliness, veracity,
courage, dutifulness, sympathy for the less
fortunate, and good fellowship, (3) good
moral character, and (4) physical vigor.

Each selectee receives certain school
fees, naid to his college, plus a yearly
stipend Paid to him directly (each scholar
receives total compensation of about 1600
British pounds a year, or $3840).

If you think you qualify, and are
interested, see Dean Marsh in Hamilton Hall
for details and an application. Good luck,
Scholars!

Free Research Aid

The Library offers a Friday the 13th
Reminder for students to do their term
paper research early. In most cases,
the Centenary collection will be adequate
to supply the materials needed. Students
who choose exotic topics, however, may wish
to resort to the interlibrary loan service
to complete their investigations. The
Library can usually produce the desired
item within a few days through the Green
Gold Library System in Shreveport or the
Southern Col lege -University Union in Nash-
ville. Some items take longer. It would
be well to anticipate needs by a couple of
weeks , so that you can be sure to have
the item that you want while it still can
be useful.

Iris Takes Stern Meaures

Well, it seems that at least one more
member of the Shreveport community is singing
the "Jailhouse Blues" tonight. And for a

pretty half- reason at that. It seems

that last Sunday evening Ms. Iris Irving was
taking her weekly stroll to Safeway to buy
her dinner when she was hailed on Rutherford
by three individuals whose napes were of
questionable color. ?ls. Irving, being of the
new breed of Centenary Ladies , chose not to
acknowledge their advances. The gentlemen
went on their way, Ms. Irving went on hers
and all was well. For a while.

The food was bought and disposed of. lis.
Irving then decided to return to Centenary
College and her studies and, much to one
individual's chagrin, chose the same route
home. Lo and behold, who should she

sight. Below: American Party Presidential
candidate John Schmitz in Bossier City.

again encounter, but her three acquaintances
of a few moments earlier. Ms. Irving chose
to follow the same tactics that had pre-
viously proved effective. This time, how-
ever, it seems that at least one of the
three had disposed of another six-pack or two
and this time was much more aggressive.
Within a matter of minutes the gentleman in
question had his arm around Ms. Irving, at
which point she rather violently pushed it
away. The young man, unable to cope with
such a violent rebuke then proceeded to
bite Ms. Irving on the demere. He im-
mediately departed for more hospitable
company.

Ms. Irving, not believing what had just
taken place, decided to get his donkey and
call the police. She did, they came and by
midnight the "biter" (>ls. Irving being the
"bitee") was apprehended. And, upholding
her dignity as a human being AMD a woman,
Ms. Irving signed a complaint and will meet
her friend once again in a court of law.

?1uch praise should be given to Ms. Irving
for her perserverence , and we feel certain
that everything will turn out alright in the
end.

SLTA Meet

Riley and Diann Bratton, instructors at
Booker T. Washington High School, addressed
the Centenary SLTA last week on the "Chal-
lenge of Teaching.' 1

According to Mr. Bratton, today's teacher
is faced with the responsibility of devising
methods and techniques to interest the stu-
dents. Closely correlated with this variety
of teaching methods is the overall enthusiasm
which a teacher must comTT"nicate to the class.

Allen's Decision: Yes

John H. Allen. At a meeting of the Com-
mittee Tuesday, Chairman Robert Ed Taylor
reported the President's response. Said
Robert Ed, "Dr. Allen's response was that
the Student Life Committee report is ac-
ceptable and workable," and although the
"implementation of the honor system" sug-
gested by the Committee would require time,
"in the meantime the suggested hours can be
used, using the current system of monitor-
ing."

President Allen's decision was to become
effective today. Committee Member Cindy
Yeast wondered, "How is this plan possible
without making a few moves here and there?",
referring to the fact that many freshmen
room with upper classmen. According to
Chairman Taylor, this problem would have to
be taken care of by the honor system, since
the Student Life Committee included in its
proposals to Dr. Allen that no room changes
be made pursuant to the plan.

The plan, which, while reducing the
visitation hours from last year for boys,
actually increases those for girls, was
adopted after a running student -Administrat-
ion battle which began virtually simultane-
pusly with the semester.

Dr. Allen had reached his decision to
reduce visitation hours this summer, when
most students were not on campus , after
consultation with a small student- parent -
faculty committee concerned with the quest-
ion of dorm hours , and studying the answers
to a controversial quest ionaire sent out to
the parents of some Centenary students.
Students had protested the decision with
a mass petition bearing over 250 names to
the president of the College, a Student
Senate resolution, and a full - page ad pur-
chased by the students themselves in the
CONGLOf ERATE . Later, protests took the
form of panty raids, a meeting outside James
Dorm, and an early -morning sit-in the James
lobby.

During this, the Student Life Committee
had passed a resolution urging the return
to last year's larger hours, and the Faculty
had expressed its opinion that visitation
hours were a responsibility of the students
through the students' own organizations (dorm
councils, etc.). The Student Life Committee
had then sought and obtained an audience
with the president on October 5th, and in a
meeting with the students that evening in
the ampi theater listed the President's
reasons for his decision, which were: (1)
the administrative difficulties involved;
(2) the actuality or potential of/for in-
vasion of privacy; (3) the need of freshmen
for a more structured atmosphere as they
work into the Centenary system, and (4) pres-
sure from the President's "Constituency".
Apparently, the new agreement eliminates or
handles these difficulties.

It was decided at that meeting to formu-
late alternatives at a special meeting of
the Student Life Committee the next after-
noon, Friday the 6th, at 3 p.m. It was at
that meeting that the latest plan, this one
accepted by President Allen, was constructed.

Dean Miller and Dean of Women Shirley
Rawlinson set to work after the Tuesday
meeting to make available to the student
body the newly -adopted rules and information
relevant to them, such as the date of effect.

So, it would appear that this campus is-
sue has been resolved. It leaves the quest-
ions of coed forms , alcohol on campus , the
proper role of student government, and
several other points of contention still
alive; but progress is progress, and the
(at least) temporary breathing -spell lull
around campus is certain to be welcomed by
most Centenary students as a needed change of
pace.

THE DORMITORY LETTERS

Dr. Allen:

After meeting with you last Thursday, the
Student Life Committee felt that it might
make some contribution to the solution of the
dissatisfaction over present dormitory visita-
tion policy. The Committee believes that in
our conversation with you we reached some in-
sights on possible directions. We felt that
we might break out of the "no- spring :.ours —
yes, spring hours" cycle on the basis of your
suggestion that you would consider expanded
alternate hours for upperclassmen while pre-

serving more rigid schedules for freshmen.

Accordingly, we went to the open student
meeting at 6:45 and attempted to convey some
of this "new attitude", while receiving from
the assembled group of about 125, broad
suggestions. Our efforts were not entirely
successful or happily received by all gathered.
Nevertheless, we called a second open meet-
ing for Friday afternoon to make firm alter-
nate proposals. About fifty students attended
and made comments and suggestions for alter-
nate hours and procedures. The enclosed
proposal reflects the fruit of those meetings.

It was the feeling of the committee
(specifically those members present) that we
should not simply submit a proposal for hours
change, but provide some justification for the
hours based on individual responsibility.
Consequently, we have proposed that visitation
practices in the dormitories be based upon an
honor system and related to some of the prin-
ciples enunciated in the purpose of the
college. We believe that such philosophical
grounding may serve in the effort to com-
municate effectively with our other consti-
tuencies outside the campus.

The entire "flap" over dormitory hours
may give us an opportunity to develop a
philosophy of residential living at the small,
church- related, liberal arts college. This
philosophy could enable us to further unify
our efforts in the attempts to "educate the
whole man".

We would hope that these suggested al-
ternate hours would be combined with the
efforts toward other alternatives for social
interaction being developed by Dean Miller.

The enclosed proposal, especially the
statement relative to the honor system, de-
serves more careful delineation and explora-
tion. The Committee would like to explore
this with you.

The Committee noted in its meeting a
strong desire upon the part of students to
communicate directly with you about the entire
matter. You are respectfully invited to
attend the Student Senate meeting Tuesday,
October 10, 10:40 a.m. to discuss these
matters .

Cordially,

Student Life Committee
Robert Ed Taylor, Chairman
Oct. 9, 1972

Proposal:

The Committee on Student Life in its
Open Meeting of October 6, 1972, voted to
submit to President Allen the following pro-
posal for dormitory visitation.

Understanding the purpose of the college
to be expressed in such words as:

The College purpose to challenge its
students to serve society by exempli-
fying the highest Christian ethic;
to provide them with a basic under-
standing of human affairs and pro-
blems; to equip them to think clear-
ly, honestly, and constructively, and
to communicate effectively...
The Student Life Committee propses that
dormitory visitation practices be based upon
an honor system, the details of which are to
be worked out. Although this provides one
solution to the problem of administration
and supervision, its greater value lies in
attempt to provide a stimulus and structure
for maturity and moral growth. The honor
system promotes individual growth by pre-
senting to the student a proper balance of
freedom and responsibility. It allows the
individual an atmosphere of freedom in which
to make a moral choice, while it imposes up-
on him the responsibility for self-discipline
and the discipline of his fellows who are
also pledged in the same convenant community.

The honor system has proved its worth
at Centenary over the past 15 years in the
academic area. We believe that it can be
extended to include residential living and
social interaction.

If an honor system of supervision is
adopted the Committee feels that the hours
can be implemented without necessitating a
change in the present dormitory room assign-
ments .

The Coumittee on Student Life in its
open meeting of October 6, 1972, recommends
the following hours for dormitory visita-
tion:

1. First Semester Freshman Hours With
Parental Consen t

3-5 Sunday -Thursday
3-10 Friday-Saturday

2. Second Semester Freshman Hours with
Parental Consent

Same as upperclassmen

3. Hours for Upperclassmen

Sunday -Thursday Men: 2-12

Women: 2 -until
• dormitory closes

Friday-Saturday Men: 2-1

Women: 2 -until
dormitory closes

To: Chaplain Robert Ed Taylor

Chairman, Student Life Committee
From: John H. Allen

I have received your letter and report
of the Student Life Committee dated October
9, 1972. I have decided that the recommen-
dations are acceptable and workable within
the limits of our ability to provide super-
vision. Because of the need to revise
work schedules for R.A.s and other person-
nel, we should not institute the new visi-
tation program until Friday, October 13.
Second-semester freshmen may obtain a
parental -permission form from the Office of
the Dean of Students, and upon return of
that form they will have the same visitat-
ion hours as the upperclassmen.

We will begin shortly to develop a
visitation honor code, and will work close-
ly with your committee in its development.

John H. Allen, President

Excerpts from the

Preliminary Report on Alternatives to a
Return to Dormitory Visitation Practices of
Last Spring

by Dean Miller
The SUB is the alternative with the most
potential. By doing a systematic study of
space utilization, decor and theme options
the big, impersonal main floor could become
a focal point of campus activity, particul-
arly in the evening hours . The following
suggestions we have are "spur-of-the moment"
ideas and should be evaluted in detail be-
fore implementation:

1. Keep the snack bar open from 8:00
P.M. until midnight seven days a
week by hiring up to three student
workers . The cost would be about
$135.00 per week, some of which
would be off-set by the profits
from food sales.

2. Develop another set of movable
partitions in conjunction with the
pillars in the game table area. This
move would produce two rooms separated
by a mall, yet continue to allow
flexibility of use because of their
mobility.

3. Relocate the bookstore in the Old
Administration Building so that it
would be more accessable to off-
campus trade.

4. Move the game tables and juke box to
the old bookstore location.

5. Complete the Tudor decor in the old
game tables area.

6. Purchase a second AM-FM radio and
amplifier to "pipe" music into the
old game tables area.

7. Develop the mall area into an art
display area and sitting room with
coffee tables and comfortable chairs.

8. We think this idea to be our best
one: Construct several (maybe 50)
booths on the order of the one shown
in the attached drawing. Such booths
could be mounted on casters and easi-
ly relocated should the entire main
floor space be needed. These booths
could be wired for varied intensity
light (and possibly for sound) and

so could be used for study, informal
communication, and through the addi-
tion of windoved doors, privacy with
unobtrusive supervision. I believe
it is privacy (intimacy, if you will)
which is what the students want who
are interested in the visitation
issue for other than political rea-
sons. Because of their self-contain-
ed nature different activities could
go on in adjoining booths.
9. Draperies on all windows, carpeting
which could be rolled up, and a false
ceiling in the room between the stage
and snack bar could be added for at-
mosDheric warmth.

Tarot Cards

of identifying with its 'Vibrations."

The history of The Tarot is most
fascinating. The symbols of the cards,
it is generally understood, are derived
from Egyptian mythology. There are
different theories related to this.
One of these is that the cards were in-
vented by Thoth, a counselor to Osiris
who was the scribe of the Egyptian
gods, god of wisdom and magic, creator
of numbers and the measurer of time.
Another maintains that the cards of the
Major Arcana fto be defined later) were
somehow directly related to the initi-
ation ceremonies into the Egyptian
priesthood. However, an interpretation
of the cards seems to disclose a close
relationship to ancient religions and
philosophies. It is amazing how close-
ly The Tarot relates to the concepts
presented by C. G. Jung and his theo-
ries of myth and archetypes (an example
for those who have studied this is
significantly illustrated by the fact
that the querent shuffles the deck
four times and cuts it into thirds
before handing it to the reader to be
laid out for an interpretation). Eden
Gray, in his book A Complete Guide to
The Tarot (an excellent reference
Tor anyone even vaguely interested
in this) points out that "The true
Tarot is symbolism: It speaks the
language that arises from the col-
lective mind of man." It is be-
lieved that the cards were then
carried throughout Europe by means
of the gypsies. Decks of Tarot
have been discovered dating all the
way from the twelfth century. The
cards were also used as a means of
entertainment by the court jester
during the Medieval Period in order
to foretell the future of a noble.
Quite often the noble would hire an
artist to paint his cards depicting
actual members of his court. Con-
sequently, there are presently sev-
eral different styles of Tarot, but
all the styles seem to have the
same basic concepts presented on the
cards.

The deck itself is, quite ob-
viously, the parent to modern day
playing cards. The Tarot consists
of seventy-eight cards all together.
It is divided into two sections, the
Major Arcana ( arcana is Latin for
secrets) and the Minor Arcana. The
cards of the Minor Arcana are fifty-
six in quanitv and are divided into
four units -Wands (Friendship), Cups
(Love), Swords (Strife), and Pentacles
(money) . These four units are com-
parable to the four suits in a modern
playing deck- -Clubs, Hearts, Spades
and Diamonds. Each of the four units
contain within it ten cards. The
•lajc-r Arcana is made up of twenty-
two cards depicting symbolic figures
representing the elements of nature,
experiences of flan in his spiritual
.iorney, his hopes, fears, joys, sor-
rows and so forth. In a reading one
card is chosen to represent the
querent by the reader on the basis of
coloring, personality traits and what
the reader feels suits the individual
for the querent's specific mood at
the time of the reading. Pattie
pointed out that often-times the same
cards turn up repeatedly for the same
individual (for example, Pattie did a

reading for me at the end of the inter-
view and when the cards were laid out ,
a specific suit appeared numerous
times) . It was also indicated to me
that the querent f s mood at the time of
the reading is extremely important ,
for the cards seem to respond directly
to the emotional state of the querent .

I asked Pattie what she attributed
to the rise of interest in the occult
and Tarot cards in particular during
the latter part of the sixties. She
stated that she feels that the Tarot
fulfills many of the same needs as
religion, or some sort of stable force
against which an individual may set
himself to understand his relationship
to God, the universe and Man (she also
pointed out that this interest has
declined with rise of an interest in
Christianity). Yet, she noted that
she felt that many make the mistake
of looking for security in The Tarot,
for example, by expecting the cards to
foretell the future. This, she stress-
es , is something the cards cannot do
and consequently, many are skeptical.

Personally, I find The Tarot most
fascinating and hope to be able to gain
a greater understanding of it, for I
can see much potential in an under-
standing of the individual and the col-
lective mind.

Up- And-Coming Heavies

How many of us can remember a time
when there was just "rock" and every-
body who listened to it liked approxi-
mately the same stuff?

Nowadays the dividing lines are
nretty clear. The subteen audience is
hooked on music that has evolved from
bubblegum to a surefire Dopular hit
formula based on common archetypes of
innocence. With the Partridge Family,
the Jackson Five, the Osmonds, and all
their spinoffs, and a large second
rank including groups like the Gallery
and Daniel Boone, subteen rock has more
than ever become a world of its own.

Those past their early 20 's are
either sticking with the remnants of the
late-'60's hard rock movement or embrac-
ing the new laid-back, shelter-seeking
folk music.

Right now it's the in-between seg-
ment, the teenagers, who are making the
most waves with their musical tastes.
They lean to the so-called "heavy"
rock, whose roots can be traced back to
1966: it's one of the few areas of rock
where any exnerinentation is takinp
place.

The second wave of heavy groups from
Detroit has dried out and the third,
composed mostly of English groups like
Black Sabbath, is still coasting along.
New a fourth wave is upon us, made up of
groups who seem to be popping up out of
nowhere and everywhere. Some of them
are dreadfully bad and others show pro-
mise.

The thing to rember about heavy rock
is the importance of riffs. The music is
built on riffs and rhythmic sequences
that through repetition pound the song
into your bones, if done effectively. A
heavy rock group rises or falls on its
ability to invent new riffs and ela-
borate on them in an interesting fashion.
Here' re a few of the newcomers:
Highway Robbery opens their first
album (PCA 4735) with a good solid
Dusher called 'Ttystery Pider," fol-
lowed by another fast one, "Fifteen,"
and by "Lazy Woman," which starts on
a cumbersome bass line but builds in-
to a Cream-style amphetamine lead
guitar ranroage. Side two has two
slc*r ones and a fairly good closing
number called "Promotion Man." All
things considered, Highway Robbery is
one of the best new outings I've heard

lately. They have a good, loud, al-
most-imaginative guitarist, strong
vocals, and all they really lack at
this point is a well-defined personali-
ty. I think they'll develop one soon.
Although they sound heavily English,
Styx is from Chicago, and they're
produced by the same guy who was
responsible for the Shadows of Knight
a few years back. Their sound is
largely organ -based and their singing
resembles the harmonies of Grand Funk
or Chicago. They have a long suite
called '?1ovement For the Common Man"
that includes some interesting effects,
and they cook at times on the other
songs, but they don't seem to have the
necessary drive to reach the too in
their chosen genre.
Much closer to what it's all about is
Hrsa Major, whose debut album (PCA 47-
77) hits every base from the demonic
scare -chords of Amon Duul II to a
"Back to the Land" number in the Deep
Purple style and an obligatory quiet
song, "In Darkest Hour," that's
actually good. But "Liberty and
Justice" is a dull song based on an
extremely boring riff, so these guys
miss getting top honors.

That distinction goes to White
Witch (Capricorn 0107) which to my mind
has everything a group needs to command
attention in the heavy sweepstakes. The
singer has an incredible range, and the
group shows an uncanny ability to sound
like Black Sabbath at their best, yet
they also manage to do a song like
"Sleepwalk" that sounds like Abbey Poad
if it had been recorded by the Steve
Miller Band. Their riffs are consis-
tently inventive, the songs all move and
keep one fascinated with their use of
special effects. They also appeal to
the Jesus Freaks with 'rlelp Me Lord,"
the hippies with "It's So Nice To Be
Stoned," and for those who require a
gimmick (practically everybody these
days) they've got mystic symbols
scrawled all over their faces and a lot
of promotional hokum about spiritual
awareness and psychic witchcraft. A
winning combination. They're from
Georgia and should go far.

During the break Tuesday, Oct. 3,
the Alpha Xi's gave their annual Faculty
Brownie Party at the lodge. Brownies and
coffee or tea were served while the fa-
culty and sorority members mingled and
visited with each other.

The Shreveport Alpha Xi Delta alumnae
will be serving a covered dish supper
for the members at the lodge Monday, Oct.
16 .

Sex and Christianity

"Human Sexual Responsibility" was the
topic under discussion last week when Dr.
Harmon L. Smith, Associate Professor of
floral Theology at Duke University, ad-
dressed a Thursday chapel audience as part
of the Willson Lecture series.

The purpose cf the lecture was to pre-
sent a world- view to counteract the develop-
ing concepts of people as mechanistic de-
vices. Sexuality, taken as one of the
many ways one can relate to others, is one
of the functions which expresses awareness,
according to Dr. Smith.

The marriage ceremony itself, Dr. Smith
stated (after showing a short film on mar-
riage), is perhaps the least important as-
pect of marriage. The principles of joint -
ness and reciprocity must exist in the couples
themselves ,~TJr. Smith believed, not just in
the ceremony. Those who have communication
and understanding before marriage will be
more likely to achieve later sexual success,
he said.

Hie Willson Lectures are made possible
by the generosity of Dr. and Mrs. J.M.
Willson of Hloydada, Texas, through an en-
dowment provided a number of years ago in
order to bring outstanding speakers and
lecturers to Centenary in the fields of
religion and education.

Baptists to Convene

Dr. David Poling, syndicated religion
columnist, and Mr. Theo Patnaik, Associate
Secretary of Youth Work of the Baptist World
Alliance, will be the featured speakers this
month at the Louisiana State Baptist Convent-
ion in Baton Rouge.

A group will leave the Baptist Center at
2907 Woodlawn the afternoon of Friday, Oct.
29, to attend to convention, and all inter-
ested students are invited to attend. The
convention runs through Sunday, Oct. 29.

Danny Walker, sociology instructor at
LSU-S, will lead one of the many seminars
revolving around the theme, "Responding to
His Lordship."

Mr. Patnaik, a native of India, was
converted to religious worV at Bi lb-
Graham's 1956 Calcutta Crusade, and
recently delivered $100,000 donated by
Baptist World Alliance for Bangladesh
refugees .

From Albuquerque, New Mexico, Dr.
Poling is past president of the Christian
Herald .

TTTe cost of the trip will be four
dollars ($1 for registration and $3
for transportation) plus meals, with
housing arranged by the convention hosts.

n I'm all for open housing...

I just don't want it in our lovely, peaceful neighborhood". This
is pretty much the same thing as saying I'm for righting a social
injustice as long as there is no cost to me. Has it ever worked
out that way? This planet is our neighborhood. And all its people
are neighbors in the community of man.

Just Because You
Bite Your Nails You're
Not Necessarily a
Sexual Flop

by Mary Ann Callahan

The worst thing about being a psychology
major is meeting people and having them ex-
claim the inevitable, "You're studying psy-
chology? Figure me out'"

So you sigh and politely shake your
head, indicating your lack of words at their
ignorance, and then you explain that the
mind is a very abstract concept and not some-
thing that is conducive to the scientific
method, and that what you really do is study
behavior, and that you're not going to tell
them that because they bite their nails,
they're hung-up about sex.

Members and students of the Psychology
Department are not put to show Centenary
College the ways of sanity (as if we knew) .
We do not sit in judgement. If you have a
problem and we can help, then fine, we'll
do what we can; we'll listen all you want.
But this is not the primary reason for
our existence.

Mainly, learning is the chief goal. To
assist us in our Quest For Knowledge is
our faculty: Dr. Gwin, acting chairman;
Mr. Dulle; and the newest member, Dr. Bet-
tinger.

Dr. Bettinger is here after four years
of teaching at Vanderbilt University. His
particular specialty is in the area of
physiological psychology. He brings with
him fresh ideas, one the more spectacular
of which is the possibility of some sort
of field work with students gaining prac-
tical experience through work in the com-
munity.

Experimentation is Mr. Dulle 's forte.
(Mr. Dulle, by the way, reports that his
family is fine, his doctorate is coming
along slowly but surely, and he is now
playing on a faculty football team.) This
year the department was granted use of East
Colonial Hall as a laboratory. Students
are breeding and raising their own rats
this year, to be used in the study of con-
ditioned behavior. At the end of the year,
they are given away or destroyed (which
is a terrible waste of life, as they are
clean and affectionate little animals).

If one is discreet about it, rats make
inconspicuous dorm pets. Some people
don't like their tails (which, incidental-
ly, are not hairless), but this problem can
be solved by pretending they are snakes.

An exciting new addition to the experi-
mental lab is the GSR wachine- - the cycle
galmenometer , which is the principle in-
strument used in lie detection (maybe this
would be useful to University Court , Vida) .

At this time, the students are in the
process of organizing a Psychology Club,
lack of organization having been one of
the major shortcomings in the past. Plans
are to invite speakers and make field trips,
Which have up until now not been possible.

There has been recent interest stirred
up by the current trend in psychology to-
ward group work. Some students have ex-
pressed a desire to set up group therapy
sessions on campus, delving into sensitivity
and interactional behavior.

"Drugs and Behavior" is the subject of
the upcoming Interim psychology course, under
Dr. Bettinger. An alternative course in
biological clocks is being considered.
Courses for next semester will include Theo-
ries of Personality, taught by Mr. Dulle;
Abnormal Psychology', taught by Dr. Bettinger,
and Tests and Measurements, taught by Dean
x liller.

Any subject may be taught as a course if
at least ten students sign a petition and
a member of the faculty agrees to teach it
(see p. 53 in the catalog).

The Psychology Department may be small,
but every year it turns out enough future
Jungs, Mays, Ericksons, Maslowes, and Skin-
ners so that the chances are someone from
Centenary' might someday solve the universal
problems of absurd behavior in this world.

Extra-Sensory Dreams

A television producer had a vivid
dream of a hotly contested horse race
in which three horses ran neck-and-neck
to the finish 1 ine . When the announcer
gave out their names, he said that the
winner had been a very long shot.

In the weeks follwing the dream, the
producer could not restrain himself from
avidly scanning the racing columns to find
a race in which the three horses of his
dream were to run. When he found such a
race, he placed a very large bet on the
winning horse of his dream, and he invited
his business staff to join him in watching
the race on television. The televised race
was for him a very spooky event- -he had
seen it all in his dream. Sure enough, the
three horses of his dream raced right down
to the wire and his horse won.

Thelma Moss of the Neuro -psychiatric
Institute, at UCLA, reports this story along
with other horse-race predictive dreams in
Psychic, February, 1971. She points out that
while these dreams partly support Freud's
notion of dreams as wish fulfillment, they
suggest that, contrary to Freud, the future
(as well as the past) may influence our
dreams. There are many stories about pre-
cognitive (future revealing) dreams and
telepathic dreams --those pertaining to dis-
tant current events . In fact most of the
stories of spontaneous precognition and
telepathy involve dreaming. This raises
two questions: can dream ESP be verified in
the laboratory and if so, what is there
about the dream state that makes for ESP
events?

The fact that dreaming usually occurs
when a sleeping person starts moving his
eyes rapidly makes it possible to do con-
trolled experiments with dreaming and tele-
pathy. That is, you can have a person look
at a randomly selected picture and attempt
telepathically to convey the picture to a
sleeping person in another room. An at-
tendant can monitor a machine that records
the sleeper's eye movements in order to
awaken the sleeper after he ahs been dream-
ing for a while. The sleeper can then be
asked what he has been dreaming about. Such
experiments began in 1962 at the Parapsycho-
logy Foundation in Manhattan and continued
in 1964 at the Maimonides Dream Laboratory
in Brooklyn, New York. The experiments con-
tinued throughout the '60 's and were sum-
marized by the principal investigators,
Montague Ullman and Stanley Krippner, in
Dream Studies and Telepathy, published by
The Parapsvchology Foundation (New York,
1970) .

The first dreamer in these experiments
was the well-known psychic, Eileen Garrett.
The results were striking, but the controls
were loose because the investigators were
just trying to get a feel for the variables
involved. Perhaps the most difficult vari-
able to contend with is the opinion of the
person judging the dream reports. If you
evaluate a dream report and look for cor-
respondences with a target picture, how
much does your own interpretation of words
and phrases decide whether the dream is a
"hit" or a "miss."?

To deal with this difficulty, the re-
search rs (besides tightening all other
aspects of the experiment) worked out an
elaborate evaluation procedure that makes
the results quite objective. After the
dreamer was awakened for the last time, he
was asked to rank a series of twelve random-
ly ordered pictures , one of which had been
the target picture, for similarity to his
dream images. Also, four outside judges
were sent 12 dream descriptions and 12 pic-
tures and were asked to correlate the two
sets .

The statistics from all the evaluations
were combine-! to see if there were signifi-
cant correlations. The dreamers were paid
volunteers who said they could fall asleep
easily, dreamed frequently, remembered

their dreams, and thought that tele-
pathy was possible. Such people are
quite easy to find (compared to psychics)
so that the Maimonides procedure is being
duplicated elsewhere.

The hypothesis that pictures viewed
by one person in one place can influence
the dreams of another person in another
place seems to be confirmed by the Maimo-
ides experiments. For instance, a young
man dreams about a jolly red-suited clown
and "some sort of holiday," while a psy-
chologist in another room looks at a
picture of Santa Claus . But an even more
striking thing has emerged from the sta-
tistics. Dreamers seem to be influenced
by pictures selected for them for future
nights. This would be dreaming precog-
nitively .

So now dreaming precognition is being
studied at Maimonides. Herbert Greenhouse
reports in Psychic, December 1971, that
the English psychic Malcolm Bessent was
asked to dream about slides he would not
see until the next night. So he was to
be both the sender and receiver of the
message: the future Bessent would send,
to the present Bessent. And it worked!
For instance, when a set of bird slides
was the target, he dreamed of "experiments
with birds," "different kinds of doves,"
and said, "I just have a feeling that the
next target material will be about birds."

Why the state of dreaming should be
conductive to ESP is a difficult question.
One clue may be that large amounts of
alpha waves (8-13 cycles per second) and
/or theta waves (6-8 c.p.s.) have been
noticed by several investigators in the
brain waves of telepathic receivers.

Now it turns out that although the
cortex of the dreaming brain is putting
out beta waves (above 13 c.p.s.), the
hippocampus (part of the. limbic region
in the center of the brain) puts out
very large theta waves during the dream
state, in fact, the theta waves are so
big they swamp the beta waves measured
outside the skull at the back of the
head.

Hippocampal theta waves are also
associated with orientation and learning.
The concept that covers all these functions
is ''pattern recognition." It stands to
reason that since the telepathic message
seems to be a very weak signal with a lot
of noise, the amplification of pattern re-
cognition would be very useful for re-
ceiving such signals. So hippocampal
theta waves may be the key to understanding
telepathy. If so, dreaming has provided
that key.

The Other

by Taylor Caffery

It's time for all good psychology
students to pack up their notebooks, grab
a white rat or two, and head out to the
Quail Creek Cinema for a showing of Thomas
Tryon's The Other . Director Robert Mulligan
( Summer of To Kill a Mockingbird) and

cinematog raphe r Robert Surtees ( Summer of
'42 ) have collaborated with author -producer
Try on in The Other to produce a careful ,
intricate psychological chiller with over-
tones of psychiatry, mysticism, and Hitch-
cock.

Chris and Martin Udarnoky star as two,
well, strange little kids who, along with
Uta Hagen as their grandnother , share a
supernatural secret enabling each to project
his senses into other beings. No, that's
not the "secret" the ads warn us against
revealing, which can be learned only at the
flick.

The mystery involves the viewer from the
opening scene, where one of the Udarnoky
twins, hiding in a beautifully photographed
green forest, inspects with seeming deep pur-
pose a ring kept with another wrapped, solid
object (revealed later, to shudders) in a
metal box inside his shirt. Hearing the ap-
proach of his grandmother, the boy shoves
the ring and box out of sight.

The boy, the box, the twin ("the othfir") ,
and a tense family situation all to add up
to murder, stormy nights, magic, and a side-
show-like fascination with the macabre.

The Other opens today at Quail Creek.

For the second year in a row it appears
that Coaches Larry Little and Riley Wallace
have assembled a group of outstanding fresh-
man basketball players at Centenary. Both
coaches have expressed their satisfaction
with this year's group.

Assistant Coach Wallace says this year's
freshman have more potential than last year's
outstanding freshman team which posted a 20-
4 record. Specifically, he points to the
size and rebounding potential of this year's
group. However, he foresees that this year's
team will be harder to bring together than
last year's, which was a well-oiled machine
all last season. He promises, emphatically,
however, that the five on the court this
year will be a unit working together.

Head Coach Little says that this year's
group contains more diamonds in the rough
and is less polished than last year's group.
He -predicted also that this year's group will
show more improvement as the season progress-
es than last year's group which played equal-
ly well most of last season.

Of course, most of the interest in this
year's freshmen recruits has centered on
high-school All -American Robert Parish from
Shreveport Woodlawn. The number one recruit
at Centenary this year, he would also be
the number one recruit at any school in the
country. Considered by many to be the best
high school player in America last season,
he averaged 30.7 points and 19.9 rebounds
as he led Woodlawn to the state AAAA cham-
pionship. It's generally conceded, however,
that Parish will not be playing with most of
the other freshman this year. With the new
NCAA freshman-eligibility rule, he is tic-
keted for varsity action. .

The other freshmen will probably play
junior varsity this season along with three
or four sophomores. However, Little stress-
es that 'we'll be flexible. The door will
be open for them to move around during the
season" if their performance merits it.

The freshman guard corps, which Wallace
says is possibly stronger than last year's,
includes Barry McLeod, Nate Bland, and Jim
Bonds .

The coaches are espeically high on the
6' McLeod from Bridgeport, Conn. An ex-
cellent playmaker as well as shooter, he
is one of the top players to come out of
Connecticut in some time. All-State in
his class, McLeod led Notre Dame High School
to a 22-3 record as he averaged 23 points a
game.

Bland comes to the Gents from Phillip
Schuyler High School in Albany, N.Y., the
same school which Gents Lonnie LeFevre,
Skeeter Home, and Roadrunner Home attend-
ed. At 6 '2" Bland averaged over 25 points
a game for Schuyler, hitting mainly on
long bombs from the outside.

6 '3" Bonds hails from Jacksonville,
where he led Jacksonville High to an 18-8
record last year. A steady, dependable
player, he is extremely fast and excels in
playmaking. He averaged over 12 points a
game last season. A three -year regular in
both basketball and baseball in high school,
he is also on the Gent baseball team.

The freshman forwards include Welton
Brookshire and Cal Smith. Brookshire, at
6 '8" from Huntington, Texas, led his high
school team to a 32-4 record as he averaged
18 points and 17.6 rebounds. 6 '7" Smith
from Normal, Illinois is the other Gent
freshman forward. Dominating inside play,
he led University High School to a 21-9
record as he averaged 18.4 points and 13.5
rebounds per game. He also shot at a 57%
clip from the floor.

These five freshmen will probably com-
bine with three or four sophomores to form
what should be an outstanding junior var-
sity team, which could rival last year's
freshmen in excitement. Last year's team
made such a reputation that some of the area
junior colleges do not want to play the Gent-
lets this year. Still, they will be playing
a strong schedule. At any rate, there should
be much excitement in the Dome this season
when the Gentlets seek to keep their Dome
record (15-0 last year) clean.

It Was Just
One of Those Days

by Tom Marshall

When the Green Bay Packers beat the
Dallas Cowboys 16-13 in Wisconsin two weeks
ago, it broke the Cowboys' National Foot-
ball League -leading victory string at 12.

But last Sunday, the Super Bowl cham-
pions kept two other strings intact. By de-
feating the Pittsburgh Steelers 17-13 in an
NFL thriller at Texas Stadium, Dallas made
sure that it has still never lost a contest
in its beautiful new home at Irving, Tex.
Furthermore, that win marked the seventh
consecutive time that the Cowboys have de-
feated the Steelers.

But in the last minute and 51 seconds
Sunday, those strings- -fragile like all
streaks in professional football- -almost
didn't stand the tension. Pittsburgh, led
by third year quarterback Terry Bradshaw,
tried desperately to pull an upset out of
the fire.

In that last ditch effort, the Steelers
ran off 15 plays- -better than one every

seven seconds. Pittsburgh got the ball deep
in its own territory and was faced with
several crucial situations. But a 25-yard
Bradshaw aerial to wide receiver Dave Smith,
a 27-yarder to Frank Lewis, and an 11 yard
Bradshaw scramble on fourth down kept the
Steelers --and their slim chance for vic-
tory- -alive. In the last 15 seconds Brad-
shaw- -a former all-stater from Woodlawn
of Shreveport-- threw four potential winning
touchdown passes. All four failed. Hie last
came with only one second on the scoreboard
clock and had the 65,682 fans in the sta-
dium and millions more glued to the tube
holding their breath to see what would hap-
pen. What did happen was that Bradshaw 's
pass was high and just slipped through the
hands of Lewis in the Cowboy end zone.

Dropped TD Pass

That was just about the story of the
game for Bradshaw and the Steelers. Mo-
ments earlier, Bradshaw had delivered a
perfect bomb to Lewis who was wide open
behind the famed Cowboy defense, but Lewis
couldn't hold on. And once during that ill-
fated last drive a Bradshaw fumble looked
like it might turn into a good break for
the Steelers as Terry's teammate Franco
Harris scooped up the ball and raced to the
Dallas three yard line. But that run was
nullified by a holding penalty... it was

ONE OF A SERIES OF SPECIAL CONGLOMERATE OFFERS

they HAVE won 13 out of their last 14
games. Top that off with the best (11-3)
record in professional football last year,
and that's saying something.

After the game a stunned Bradshaw
lamented, "I couldn't believe we lost...
I was just sick." Asked about his own
performance (12 of 39 for 166 yards),
Bradshaw commented, "Not very good. I
threw seme bad passes. They rushed me and
I was trying to get the ball off. They play
a fine defense, the best I've seen this
year."

• Terry's alma mater, Louisiana Tech, and
the states ' only other undefeated collegiate
team, LSU, both have important encounters
this weekend. The Bengals and the Bulldogs
(CONGLOMERATE, Sept. 29) both play Sat-
urday night, with LSU (4-0 and eighth in
the current national rankings) playing host
to Auburn (also 4-0) in Tiger Stadium in
Baton Rouge. Tech, (5-0 and second in the
small college ratings) can wrap up at least
a share of the Southland Conference title
with a victory over Arkansas State at Little
Rock. LSU and Auburn did not meet last year,
but the Tech-Arkansas St. game was a 28-27
thriller, with Tech coming out on top.

LSU was not impressive in its 12=6 win
over Rice in Houston last week, but the
Tigers nevertheless won, and that's what
counts. The score might have been higher,
but LSU coughed up the ball on fumbles
three times- -including once at the Owls'
three yard line. On the plus side, the
LSU secondary picked off five errant Rice
passes and 'walk on" placekicker Juan Roca
toed a 53 -yard field goal in the second
quarter to break his own school record of
52 yards that he set last week against
Wisconsin.

Texas- OU Clash

Another big game Saturday is the an-
nual Texas -Oklahoma contest, set for
Saturday at 2:30 p.m. -{Channel 3) in
Dallas. Both teams are always sky-high
for this game and in recent years bowl
berths and national championships have
hinged on its outcome. The national
title probably won't be decided there
Saturday, but a win would go a long way
in the rankings for both clubs, especial-
ly Texas. Both the Longhorns and the
Sooners enter the contest at 3-0, with
Oklahoma a solid second in the current
rankings, and Texas entrenched in the No.
10 spot. Last year Oklahoma defeated
Texas 48-27 on its way to a 10-1 season,
while the defeat was one of only two for
the Longhorns. Most odds makers have
Oklahoma a solid three touchdown favorite,
but don't count Texas out.

Dome Gets New Floor,
Weight Machine

Two new features have been installed in
the Gold Dome this week. First, a new floor
has been laid down in the gym because of
defects in the original floor. The project
was covered under the original guarantee
and did not cost the school anything.

Also, a circuit weight training machine
has been installed downstairs. It will be
utilized by Centenary athletes, but it is
also available for any Centenary student to
use. Interested students should call the
Athletic Office for the hours the machine
is open for general use.

Girls to Arkansas

The Centenary Girls Extramural Volleyball
Team will be traveling to Arkadelphia, Arkan-
sas the afternoon of October 13th. The team
will play Henderson State College at 7:00
p.m. The girls will spend the night and on
October 14th at 10:30 a.m. play Ouachita
Baptist.

Girls that will be going are Yolanda
Gonzaley, Gay Greer, Connie Johnson, Eileen
Kleiser, Joan Medina, Jennifer Moffett, Liez
Mohi, and Vicki Owen. Jan Lawrence will be
traveling with the team as referee and their
great coach is Miss Sharon Settlemire. The
girls have been practicing diligently and
are really looking good.

Best of luck team! We know you will try
your best to bring home two victories.

Look for more extramural news in next
week's CONGLOMERATE. We will keep you up to
date on what is happening.

Treasures from Trash

(AFS) Common city garbage is now regard-
ed not just as waste but as a valuable re-
source: "urban ore." In cities like Oak-
land, Chicago, and Atlanta, this ore in
the form of steel cans is "mined" out of
local trash dumps with magnetic devices.

Over fifty mechanical sorters have now
been developed and some of these work in
curious ways.

There's a giant pulper that works like
a kitchen blender: it spins out the hea-
vier elements, and pours fiber pellets
from the spout, ready to make into card- ;
board or roofing materials.

There's a "ballistic" system which
"bats" different kinds of trash from a
rotating paddle wheel, hurling heavier,
more dense metals a distance beyond the
lighter, less compact paper and plastics. .

One process grinds garbage and "digests"
it through bacterial action. The resulting
compost, unfortunately, is too high-priced
to compete with chemical fertilizers.

There's a "dry" process which spins the
dried trash by centrifugal force, throwing
the heavier items out, and forcing the
lighter ones through a "refiner" which re-
covers 70 to 80 per cent of the wood and
paper fiber.

Another "dry" sorting system is the
vertical air column used for grain clcaningi i
though it works best horizontally. Shred-
ded wastes are thrown into the air stream
and the components are carried various dis-
tances , depending upon their air resistance*

A pilot plant for processing mixed muni*
cipal refuse has operated successfully fori
year at Franklin, Ohio. It can process 150
to 500 tons a day, and consists of a shred-
der, an air classifier, a magnetic separator,
screening devices, and a flotation separa- 1
tor. The system is sponsored by the Nation-
al Center for Resource Recovery, a non-pro-
fit corporation founded bv labor and indus-
try.

Still, we're recycling only one to thref
per cent of the cans and bottles manufac-1
tured annually, and about one- fifth of our
paper. Moreover, most cities will not in-
stall the new and expensive recovery syst
until their garbage problem is critical.
Meanwhile government and industry have ov
50 different systems in operation. The
method would separate aluminum, copper, lefljjl
tin and zinc, as well as glass, from the cfl
ganic and combustible materials so they
be recycled immediately rather than buried
forever. There are now over one million
of recoverable metals buried in sanitary
landfills. Perhaps these will be the "mi^BI
of the future.

Kind Words From Harlan

Harlan Ellison, who has won
more Hugo and Nebula Awards than
any other science fiction writer ,
wrote the following concerning
Centenary in the May 1972 Science
Fiction Writers of America Forum :

"Marry of us have spoken at col-
leges and universities. When we
give these wonderful, sententious
interviews with local newspapers ,
we quote statistics on how many
high schools, art centers, col-
leges and centers of higher edu-
cation have adopted sf classes,
many for credit. But how many
of us know exactly how they teach
sf? Though we sell reprints of
our best work to high school and
college level text books (some
with questions for class discus-
sion that embarrass us) , most of
us have no idea precisely how
the many messages of sf ar<F~cbn-
veyed to a generation being
raised on Silverberg and Lafferty
and Vonnegut , even as we were
raised on Hardy and Hemingway
and 0. Henry.

f ^0n a recent lecture gig that
took me to Centenary College in
Shreveport, Louisiana, I found
myself confronted by thirty young
people so incredibly knowledge-
able and perceptive about sf that
I spent much of my time asking
them questions. Who had instiga-
ted the sf course they'd taken
the previous years? , How success-
ful had it been? Why had they
been so hot to enroll in such an
offbeat course? Who had taught
the course and how wel 1 -equipped
had the instructor been? What
had they gotten out of the course 0
What books had they read and who
were their favorite authors?

'The answers were lively and
enlightening, but the main thrust
of their enthusiasm was for their
instructor, a gentleman named

Earle G. Labor, who had been
pressed into service to teach the

class but who had advised his stu-
dents on the first day that he
knew very little about sf beyond
what he had read, and that spar-
ingly. He was, of course, too
modest. For Dr. Labor quite
clearly operates in the grand
tradition of the very finest
teachers: he laid back and let
the students run the class. By
softly steering them toward dis-
cussions of the themes and ideas
of the stories, he let them dis-
cover the riches in the works

Black Like Her

Lots of movies and books have
dealt with the idea, but now it
has happened. Through a medical
accident, a seventeen -year old
white girl has been turned black.
Unfortunately for her, she lives
in South Africa, where strict
separation of the races (aparth-
eid) is the I9W.

Details of the incident were
published recently in the San
Francisco Examiner in an exclu-
sive report from Johannesburg .
The story points out that if the
girl had been born non-white,
she would probably have develop-
ed psychological defenses against
racial discrimination she is now
suffering for the first time.
But presently she considers her-
self an outcast in a system where
the best of everything is reserved,
for whites .

Until a little more than a year
ago, the girl's skin was typically
Caucasian. But in December 1970
surgeons removed two adrenal glands
which were believed to be causing
the girl's obesity. Though the
surgery was regarded as success-
ful, a few months later large dark
areas began appearing on her neck.
The spot gradually spread over
her entire body.

Legally, the girl is still
white. But all she has to prove

that she is European are her fea-
tures and long hair. Her mother
says it is particularly embaras-
sing for the family because they
all believe in white supremacy.

"I feel the same as I did
when I was white/' the girl said,
"but it is terribly humiliating
to even go into the street now
and know that I am no longer ac-
cepted as white. I have not
given up hope that I will be
white again soon."

According to the girl's mother,
her daughter is now spurned by
people who think she is colored.
Unless a miracle happens, she said,
her daughter will have no future
in South Africa. "This is a tra-
gic tiling to happen to anyone
anywhere in the world," said the
mother, "but in South Africa, it
is heartbreakingly cruel."

Just ask any black South
African.

The Tom & Jeff Show

Forget any conflicting plans.
Cancel the football game, postpone
your sister's wedding, let your
laundry mildew, call the ambulance
some other time. Whatever comes
up, be in front of your radio sets
Wednesday night at 7:30.

Why? Well, because Wednesday
night Oct. 25, Dick Hollwell's
Party Line on KWKH-AM (1130) will
feature two Centenary Gentlemen,
Tom Musselman and Jeff Daiell.

The two will discuss with
Hollwell such questions as the
meaning of "liberal" and "conser-
vative," the philosophies motivating
the various political doctrines,
and the need or lack of need for
social legislation. At eight,
the phones will open for an hour
of questions.

It promises to be a lively
and entertaining hour; so train
your collie to burp the baby,
just be there when it happens!

THE CONGLOMERATE

October 20, 1972

According to reports , at least four
local churches last Sunday heard their
clergyman comment on a CONGLOMERATE
column, "No Two Masters", by News Edi-
tor Jeff Daiell. The column received
mention in a Catholic, a Baptist, and
a Methodist church, with the fourth
unidentified. (More on that piece in
the Weekly Mail.)

Invitations to bands and marching units
have been sent out for the annual Christmas
Parade sponsored by Hodges Gardens , which is
scheduled to herald St. Nick's arrival this
December 9th.

****

The President's Convocation is barreling
in upon'us. The conclave will be held Novem-
ber 16th in the Chapel . The speaker will be

the Bishop Finis Crutchfield.

****

Dr. Jerry Millett of Northwestern will
speak in the SUB at 4:00 on Monday, Novem-
ber 20th. His subject will be, "Freedom and
the '72 Flections."

****

An update from Byron Wells, renowned for
his expertise on nausea and canteloupes, on
the stench in Cline Dorm last week. Wells
reports that the culprit was not hops- and -
pasta regurgitation, but rather a chemical
substance fiendishly deposited in the
lobby. ',

Psychologists Meet
In Baton Rouge

The Louisiana Psychological Association
will hold its twenty-fifth annual meeting
October 26, 27, and 28, at the Capitol House
in Baton Rouge.

Addresses will be given by Dr. Bernard M.
Bass, University of Rochester Management
Research Center; Dr. Joel R. Butler, Virginia
Commonwealth University; and Dr. Arthur L.
Irion, University of Missouri at St. Louis.

There will be symposia on (1) Behavior
Modification, (2) Crisis Intervention, (3)
Evaluation of Problems of Children, and
(4) Hypnosis. There will also be paper
sessions for both professionals and students .

A dinner meeting will be held on Thursday
night with a panel of past presidents of the
Association.

Also, included will be a business meeting,
committee reports and an address by the Presi-
dent of the Association, Dr. Felicia Pryor,
Professor of Psychology at Louisiana State
University in Baton Rouge.

Films Available

The Centenary Library is offering a new
service this fall to assist in the locating
and borrowing of motion picture films and
other audio-visual aids. A number of faculty
members and campus groups have already used
this service in arranging for films for class
use and. club meetings.

The Film Library at the Louisiana State
Library in Baton Rouge provides th^ core col-
lection that is available to Centenary. The
subject and title arrangement of the L.S.k/'
film catalog and the WATS line and TWX con-
nections to the Louisiana State Library make
it easy to select films and reserve them for
the date when they are needed. The service
is entirely free.

Several other state and corporation film
libraries are also available to Centenary,
some for free, others for a modest rental
charge. The Landers Film Reviews and var-
ious indexes and guides are on the library
reference shelves to assist in selecting
these film materials.

Students and faculty members should reserve
their films for class or club use through
Anna White at the Library. Arrangements for
projectors and similar viewing equipment
should be made with Steve Holt in the SUB.

So, they kidnapped him last Thursday.

The Centenary College Stage Band will
present a concert Monday at 7:30 P.M. in
the Hurley Music Building. The program
will be open to the public without charge.

Monday's concert will be the first ap-
pearance of the year by the jazz ensemble.
The program will include jazz, rock and
music popular today with the big bands.
Numbers that have been recorded by Buddy
Rich, Tad Jones, Glen Miller and others
will be included on the program.

The Centenary Stage band is composed
of 18 students. Saxes: Gary Halquist,

Marc Owens, Bill Allen, Scott Mouton,
Mike Reedy and George Hancock, Trombones:
Rick Emert, Bill Vaughn and Mike Aken,
Trumpets: Denny Reedy, Joey Crownover,
Judy Bickham, Bill Zeller and Mark Hearn,
Bass: Rusty Bethley, Guitar: Steve
Milliron, Drums: Roger Reid, Piano: Terry
Gould and Sid Davis. Jazz solos will be

Dr. Galloway Sits
In Endowed Chair

Centenary has received its first endowed
chair through a trust fund of $240,000, and
the board of trustees has named Dr. Louis
Galloway first incumbent of the chair.

The endowed chair of physics was made
possible through donations from two long-
time college supporters, the late Cornelius
D. Keen and his wife, Florence Gillard-Keen.

Dr. Louis A. Galloway III, chairman of
the department of physics, has been desig-
nated as the Keen Professor of Physics.

The trust fund was established by Mrs.
Keen in 1958, following the death of her
husband, with a $10,000 gift. Mrs. Keen
added $10,000 each year until her death on
April 5, bringing the total to $140,000.
Another $100,000 was added to the fund through
a bequest in her will, making a total of
$240,000.

College officials hope this endowment will
be the first of several leading up to the
sesquicentennial anniversary of the local
college in two years.

Rick Clark brought the meeting to order,
apologizing for the change in time and
making note that absent senators would not
be penalized. Tom Guerin, Mark Greve, Sandy
Bogucki, Jeff Hendricks, and George Hancock
were represented by a proxy. In addition,
Rick welcomed the newly elected senators,
Holly Hess, Mary Jane Peace, and Joey Lacoste.

The business was brief. Block tickets
for the Oklahoma -Texas game could not be
secured. $27 S from the Senate will go toward
the proposed campus radio station. The com-
mittee reworking Gentlemanly Speaking con-
tinues its hard work.

The President's Convocation is coming
Thursday, November 16. The speaker will be
Bishop Finis Crutchfield, the newly elected
bishop in the United ^lethodist Louisiana
Conference. Dean Miller described Bishop
Crutchfield as a "dynamic speaker."

Cindy Yeast announced that President Allen
accepted the Student Li fe proposal on visita-
tion. Finally, Dean Miller reported on the
recent meeting of the Board of Trustees in
which a financial statement of Centenary was
given. It seems that things are bad, but
they could be worse. Centenary has had to
use endowment interest to keep running, but
has not touched the endowment itself.

The future goal of the Senate is planning
a successful All -Campus Weekend in conjunc-
tion with Jr. -Sr. Day, November 3rd and 4th.
Projected estimates have risen so that nearly
300 visitors are now expected for that week-
end. Present plans include Anthony Burgess,
author of A C 1 o c kwo r k 0 r an g e on Friday night,
and a new All -Campus Review Saturday night.
For a more personal contact, students with
private rooms are asked to take a guest that
weekend. This type of big brother/big sister
idea will help highschoolers see Centenary
for what it is. Anyone interested in helping
can contact a senator or Rick Clark (5S50 or
5265) .

The next Senate meeting will be held at
10:40 a.m., Thursday, Cctober 19th in the
Senate Room of the SUB.

Revised Fairy Tales
At Area Playhouse

The Texarkana College Players have announc-
ed an upcoming performance of Ed Gracyzk's
rock musical Aesop's Falables . This is the
first production of the 1 { .)72-1973 season and
will be shown in dinner theatre on Friday,
October 27, and in proscenium on October 28.

In this show, the players are animals who
take delight in portraying re-written "fables."
The entire show is narrated by Mr. Jack-in-
the-Box, who keeps the audience informed of
the race between the tortoise and the hare,
the antics of the nefarious wolf, and the
comings and goings of all the other animals.

Aesop's Falables is the type of show that
appeals to all ages. If you're an adult,
bring a child. It is a show that is excellent
family entertainment, and how many shows are
there these days that can claim that?

Aesop's Falables , directed by Nancy Keyton,
will be presented on Friday, October 27, in
the ballroom of the Texarkana College Student
Center, in dinner theatre style. There will
be seating for 150 people. Reservations for
the dinner theatre may be made by calling the
TC business office. Also it will be shown on
Saturday, October 28, at 7:30 p.m. in the
audi toriim.

THE CONGLOMERATE

High Schoolers Due

-entenary will play host to junior and
se.iior high school students from throughout
Louisiana for a special weekend on campus
Saturday and Sunday, November 4 and S.

All United Methodist students have been
invited to the event through their local
pastors and most of them will be transported
to Shreveport on special buses and will be
housed and fed on the Centenary campus with-
out charge.

Although the weekend has been designed
for a good time, there will also be ample
opportunity for the students to take a look
at the serious side of college life and to
talk with Centenary faculty members about
their choice of a college.

The visitors are expected to arrive on
campus between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.
where room assignments will be made and meal
tickets distributed.

The purpose of High School Day is to
help prospective students know more about
Centenary and at the same time to provide l
pleasant 24 hour break in the high school
students' routine.

Education Goals
To be Examined

by Ca. A Bickers

Is education your top priority? Start-
ing Sunday, October 22, educators through-
out Louisiana will be asking themselves this
same question as they observe American Edu-
cation Week.

American Education Week, which first
began in 1948, is an annual event which not
only stresses the importance of education
but also gives the public a chance to visit
in the public schools. This year the acti-
vities of the Louisiana Teachers Association
will center around the theme "flake Education
Top Priority." One of the major issues this
year concerns the importance of improving

Page Three

and upgrading the public school system.

Caddo Parish Schools will be part k i
pating in this week long event. In addi-
tion to the traditional open houses and ex-
hibits, various schools will be hosting
special luncheons.

The Caddo Teachers Association in con-
junction with the Caddo Educators Associ-
ation will be making special spot appear-
ances on television to discuss educational
innovations and problems. Special forums
on topics of educational interest have also
been scheduled. A complete time and listing
of these forums will be available in the
magazine section of the Sunday Shreveport
Times . Anyone who is interested in edu-
cation today is invited to participate in
American Education Week, October 22-28.

DeAcha Recital Tonight

The newest member of the Centenary Col-
lege School of Music faculty, bass -baritone
Rafael de Acha, will be presented in a facul-
ty recital today at 8:00 p.m. in the Hurley
Memorial Music Building.

De Acha has selected a varied program
for his Shreveport debut, including a number
of German art songs, the aria from the final
scene of the opera Don Quidiotte in which
the artist sings both the Don's part as well
as that of the servant, a group of tradition-
al Spanish songs, and finally three sea
chanties .

WHAT HUMAN BEINGS SHOULD DO

To the Editor: ^ jgh

There are a number of things that self
respecting students could do about a college
president who has repeatedly demonstrated an
arrogant contempt for their human rights and
dignity. The angriest rhetoric seems hardly
angry enough when you must deal with a man
who chooses to ignore what must be his first
responsibility; the maintenance of a decent-
ly human environment where learning can take
place and instead, wallow in cheap desperate
youth -hating politics where, when a college
is concerned, everyone loses. It seems bad
enough to have a president who is invisible
and largely inaccessable to students (remem-
ber when he was first named president and
all the talk about spending time in the SUB
and around the campus?) but incredible to
even imagine a small liberal arts college
administrator in 1972 who would actively
push for additional provincial, sexist and
insulting limitations on the way human
beings must live their lives if they are to
live in an academic community.

There are a number of things that self-
respecting students who think of themselves
as fully enfranchised human beings could do
and say in a situation like this. One of
them is not, however, treating Dr. John
Allen to breakfast and photographs as a
token of appreciation for his having been
forced, after a large recent campus politic-
al power play, to compromise his disgusting
values .

For students as people,
Mario Savvy

APATHY, THOU ARENT NICE

To the Editor:

Editorials are supposed to be articles
resulting from inspiration. Right? Well,
I personally have been inspired. Let me
say that what flows from my pen results
not from an attitude of pessimism, but
from a general observance of life on the
Centenary College campus.

Apathy is a strong word, but Webster
and I both feel it is the best description
of the general attitude of students on this
campus. After living in 'Nary for 2 1/2
years, I have seen the fever of "IDGAD"
slowly infiltrating the student body like
the Great Plague of Europe in the 1300 's.
As ydu read this, just sit back and think
about the lack of participation in every
aspect of Centenary's student life. For
instance, did you notice the attendance
of the intramural playoffs? I have seen
the night when you had to fight to get to
the sidelines for a better view. Another
example is the number of people who go to
the Sub during class breaks. 9:40 a.m.
and 10:30 a.m. have been allotted in our
rigorous schedule for nothing more than
socialization. So why aren't the majority
of the student body socializing at these
times? I have seen the day when you had
*to either fight over a chair or stand up
around the tables. Even an aspect of
academics tt.ids to lead one's point of view
toward apathy. Non- compulsory class at-
tendance supported by the majority to me

October 20, 1972
is a. prime example. Now don't get me wrong!
I enjoy missing a class now and then due to
the rack monster, but why have the "IDGAD"
attitude about classes? What are we here
for anyway?

I suggest we, the Student Body, change
our apathetic attitude toward all phases of
campus life. Unite together on all issues
as we did concerning dorm visitation. Get
involved and refrain from becoming a hermit
in your dorm roam. Socialize with the people
you live with for four years, and always
remember that, "you lose interest at the
point of withdrawal."

Reptile U tAe'pobaye

Seriohumourosity by Jess Gilbert and Mike Marcell

We raise the following questions concern-
ing the institution of tvho's Who at Centenary
College:

1) Manner of Selection

A. The criteria -- junior or senior, 2.5 or
better GPA, "distinctive contribution" --
are too broad and the selectors, too few.
From the vast list on page 2 of last week's
CONGLOMERATE , the four (4) faculty members
of the Student Life Committee choose seven-
teen (17) students to be honored. While not
in the least questioning the ability of those
professors to discriminate, we think that
with such ambiguous criteria, the selectors
must necessarily overlook some worthy students
Is this the best method of selection? Sugges-
tions please --

B. A disparity between the practical effect
and the implied honor of Who's Who exists.
The chief end result of membership in Who's
Who seems to be a preferred spot on the job
market. Yet this job advantage, perhaps the
only important aspect of Who's Who, is neither
mentioned in the criteria nor considered by
the campus community in making nominations.
Should not the most significant criterion reac
as follows: Whom do you want to obtain the
best job upon graduation from Centenary
College?

2) From what we understand, the institution
of Who's Who is run by a corporation whose
purpose is to make money. It seems incon-
gruous to us that the profit motive is the
basis for an "honorary recognition society".
Everyone accepted into Who's Who has an offer
to buy a book with everyone's name who was
accepted into Who's Who during that year;
oddly enough, just such a book is sold by

the corporation for about $20.00 (clothbound) .
Is it right to make money by honoring people?
(And please don't forget Who 's Who in the
South , Who's Who in Science , Who's Who in
High Schools , Who's Who in College and Univ -
ersity Administration , Who's Who in America ,
Who's Who of American Women, Who's Who in

the Methodist Church , Who's"
Service, Who

Who's Who in Theatre, Who's

Who in Library
In Commerce and Industry' ,
Who in American

Art, Who's Who in American Education , WhcTs"
Wlio Among Living Authors of Older Nations ,
etc. )

Intellectually, we realize that our
arguments may be both incomplete and shallow,
not to mention fallacious. Emotionally (in
resignation to T. S. Eliot's "dissociation
of sensibilities" or, if you prefer, to the
Cartesian dualistic structure of our culture),
however, we hear a cry in the wilderness or,
if you prefer, a shout in the street.

Now if you didn't like the above, try
these -- maybe you'll enjoy them.

1) Are all institutions of the Devil?

2) The institution of Who's Who is a capi-

tali stic organization, the taxes and invest-

Thieu regime in South Vietnam. Abolish Who's

3) Who's Who provides a convenient listing
of the "outstanding" college students of
America. This book is accessible to anyone.
Even the Communists. Just contemplate the
implications .

4) By providing a national collection of
potentially good job risks, Who's Who encourages
anomie. Job applicants of Who's Who stature
have an economic and hierarchal advantage over ,■
non-Who's Who people, thereby increasing ver-
tical mobility and social distance between the
classes. If this continues, an elite will
suddenly emerge to rule the inferior.

5) Finally, Who's Who employs (directly or
indirectly) men and women who drive cars.
Staff, book publishers, men whose toil at the
binderies and paper factories, even the honor-
ed students themselves -- all drive cars,
ifore cars. More congested highways. More
wrecks. More pollution. And probably more
lung cancer. Death.

Buckle your seatbelt and vote for McGovern.

informed that we had been selected for Who's
Who. We appreciate the gesture, but cannot
accept it. Our reasons have been statod.
In addition , we hope that our personal o-
pinions are not construed as an attack on
those individuals who have been chosen for
Who's Who, for this is not the case.

by Ben Brown

If you are wondering exactly what it is
that may classify you as a leftist or rightist,
how tall George Washington was, or what signi-
ficance the development of the television had -
on the French Revolution, consult the History
and Government department. They may not be
able to tell you these things but they research,
store, and release a wealth of information in
related areas.

The History and Government department has
lost teachers and seen courses dropped from
the catalogue or simply no longer taught in
recent years, but gradually these troubles
are being overcome. Now, with two additions
to our faculty, a spirit of optimism is start-
ing to prevail , which can be seen in that
every teacher has a pet project that will be
offered to the students within the next year.

The Chairman of the department, Dr. Walter
Lowrey, is at present working on the History
of Centenary College. This means that his
workload has been cut to two courses and the
direction of independent studies. The history
department has two students in the honors
program and has three students doing indepen-
dent studies. There are about forty history
majors and twenty government majors and all
of them have seen the hard times the depart-
ment has been having; but now, with the new
teachers and new courses , we can certainly
look forward to brighter days for looking
backwards .

Our two new teachers are Dr. Edward Haas
and Mr. Carney Laslie. Dr. Haas has just
received his doctorate in Southern Urban
history, and his dissertation is presently
being reviewed for publication by L.S.U.
He studied under Louis R. Harlan, a noted
expert on Black History and the editor-in-
chief of the Booker T. Washington Papers.
Dr. Haas now teaches Black History, Ante-
Bellum History and American History, and
projects a course in Urban History next fall
as his first addition to the Centenary cur-
riculum.

Mr. laslie recently received his Master's
from American Univeristy in Washington, D.C,
in the field of Far Eastern Studies. He has
spent his life in the high civil service
ranks of the State Department in the Far East.
Presently teaching Modern Europe, he will
give a course in the Modern Far East next
semester. Anyone interested in this course
should see Mr. Laslie or Dr. Walter Lowrey,
because the course will be classified as
independent study, even though it is a
classroom, lecture-type class.

Dr. Alton Hancock has an established re-
putation at Centenary. (For the pros and
cons of this reputation I refer you to members
of his Renaissance and Reformation class ) "He
is now planning three projects for the next
year. Next summer he and Professor Johnson
Watts are planning a History Study Travel
course. One month of preparation in German
conversation and German history will be
followed by a month of travel in Germany.
He also plans to present a nineteenth century
Germany and a nineteenth century England
course next year. All of these are still
in planning stages, but he seems very opti-
mistic regarding their future.

Dr. Viva Rainey is also offering a travel
study program at Interim, in connection with
the English Interim trip. The two groups
will go to England together and then separate
with Dr. Rainey taking hers on a trip through*
bpam and Portugal. The cost will be $600
and all interested should contact her now '

Professor Wes Garvin, our full-time Govern-
ment teacher, is offering a History -Government
interim on campus, dealing with the Radical
Left The texts will consist of readers on
New Left philosophy and probably one on Mod-
ern Black thought. Another project of Pro-
fessor Garvin's since he came here has been
to tree the government courses from being
dominated by history. A major step in
turning our Government into a Political Sci-
ence department will be made next spring
when the Government seminar will be split
from the History Seminar. The course will
be designed for helping students prepare
themselves for graduate work at schools
where political science is an important
independent discipline.

THE CONGLOMERATE

Page Seven

by Cherry Payne

What's the name of the D. J. who origi-
nated the phrase "rock »n» roll," on what
television series did Sgt . Frank Smith ap-
pear (Ben Alexander) and who recorded the
hit record containing those memorable words,
'■Who put the bop in the bop sh-bop sh-bop,
who put the ram in the ram a lam a ding
dong?" Chances are if you know the answers
to these and other questions you either re-
member much of the fifties and your grammar
junior high school days or you had elder
siblings who directly identified with this
period (Taylor Caffeiy excluded.) A few
weeks ago the CONGLOf ERATE ran an article
on Grease , the musical spoof of the fifties..
With Grease has come an onslaught of nos-
talgia that seems to taking over the coun-
try.

Examples: Sha Na Na: even Centenary'
College of Louisiana (1825)
was delighted to jitterbug
to the "oldies but goldies"
played by this group. Com-
posed of Columbia Univer-
sity students, they gained
notoriety in the 1967 Ivy
League trivia championship.

Flash Cadillac and the Con-
tinental Kids: a group com-
parable to Sha Na Na that
supposedly knows 800 songs
of this era.

Grease: a musical put -on of
the fifties presently rever-
berating on Broadway.

Buffalo Bob and Howdy Doody:
presently making rounds on
the college speaking circuit
as is Buster Crabbe (costing
$1000 for presentation includ-
ing films) .

Bouncing Bertha's Banana Blan-
ket: a national distributor
specializing in the clothes
of the fifties (i.e., baggy
pants , saddle shoes , penny
loafers and circle skirts).

The Uncola: 7 Up's adver-
tisement centering upon the
fifties motif.

Short Hair: ugh!

It seems inevitable that American is not
embarking upon a new decade, but attempting
to re-live the happy-go-lucky days before
students knew or cared about wars, equality,
protests and demonstrations and Woodstock.

Gerald Clarke in Time magazine has noted
this trend and has said of it, "We seem to
be not so much entering the new decade as
backing away from it full steam astern." To-
ward the end of the sixties it was predicted
that the American student would turn his in-
terests away from righting social wrongs to
a revival of an interest in the middle class
standards of the fifties and early sixties.
Many of us refused to believe it, but it
looks as if we are going to be forced to
admit that the psychologists were right.

Many theories have been offered as to
why this trend is occuring, but the most popu-
lar seems to feel that the American public is
trying to settle down after a decade of doubts
questionings and fears. Americans are tired
of being active pacifists and would prefer
being passive activists. There is a search
for the "good old days" and in the midst of
this search we have forgotten the difficult-
ies of the times mythologized. Clarke, once
again points out "At a certain distance,
vision fades and imagination takes over....
The eye of memory'... is amused by the crew
cuts and slang of 1953 but forgets the anti-
Communist hysteria and the fear that follow-
ed detonation of Russia's first hydrogen
bomb." The "good old days" were by no means
good old days, but we may look upon them with
some sense of satisfaction, relief and even
security because we did get through them
without destroying ourselves, didn't we?

The Greek system seems to be reviving
itself, many of us have taken up beer drink

ing (an unheard of past time for any self-
respecting radical of the sixties) and old
radio shows are once again being aired (Who
knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?
THE SHADOW KNOWS!). Could this be termed
a regression? Thus far this seems to be
the case, for while periods of nostalgia may
have graced American history previously, a
movement which is beginning its third year
with no indication of slowing down on an
establishment of a unique thought for the
seventies does not seem to be indicative
of a generation looking toward the future.
We seem therefore, to be attempting to walk
forward while looking behind to see where
we've been.

This is by no means an attack upon the
new thought. Truly, it seems that the
youth of today are beginning to look in up-
on themselves rather than out at their
society. Introspection, by no means, is
something that should be shirked and all
those who are still calling for active par-
ticipation in demonstrations (John Froines
and May Day, 1971) should recognize this in
the youth.

However, caution should be taken, for
it seems that we are not establ ishing our-
selves as an era, but rather a reflection
of an era and, as many well realize, re-
flections are not sufficient stuff upon
which to base a thought. If we can take
these nostalgic experiences, sit back,
enjoy them and a short trip into our
childhoods without attempting to live in
that period, but continue to fire the
problems of today as present-day problems
the Nostalgia Movement offers no threat.
Yet, as long as the movement serves as an
escape which seems to characterize it thus
far, we are only playing cruel jokes on
ourselves and reality will hit us hard.

Predictions of what will take place on
nearby college campuses and Centenary in
particular I cannot offer at this point.
Chances are, however, that put -on groups
such as the Hot Wheels and Big Riggers who
greased down before even' official event
(even the Big Riggers played football with
Sha Na Na) will again return in full force.
In any event , the next few years in America
should offer much to the sociologists.

Gloria Steinem at NLU:
Brassieres and Revolution

"Friends and sisters ... .no one I know
ever burned her bra."

The place: Northeast Louisiana State
University .

The speaker: Ms. Gloria Steinem, ad-
vocate of the Women's Liberation ?Iovement.

Thursday, October 5 saw the presentat-
ion of a philosphy that may be considered
"blasphemy" in some camps within this area
of the country. Ms. Steinem and another
speaker advocating the same position, Ms.
Margaret Sloan, a black woman, joined on
the speaker's stand to clarify many of the
misconceptions of Women's Lib and to dis-
cuss the goals and direction of the Move-
ment at the present time. Yet, the one
point emphasized throughout the talk is
that Women's Lib is not a movement of re-
form but revolution .

Ms. Steinem began her discussion of
the need for Women's Lib by taking a look
at human history. It was pointed out that
many historians fail to emphasize the fact
that the first five thousand years of human
history practiced what may be termed a
"gynecocracy", which may be attributed to
the fact that women, and only women, may
perform the special, mystical act known as
childbirth. Consequently, in many societies
the woman was considered to be god- like.
Yet, Ms. Steinem continued, the discovery of
the causation of pregnancy and hence, the
development of the concept of paternity
radically changed society. Men decided they
owned the children, marriage developed ana*
the patriarchial social system became a
realitv.

Ms. Steinem continued her talk by point-
ing out many of the parallels between
many of the past social attitudes toward

the black man and the woman:

1) both have smaller brains

2) both have a passive nature

3) both are unable to govern them-

selves

4) both are unable to acquire special

job skills

5) both are always late

6) both are irresponsible

7) both are more sexually skilled

8) both are dictated by emotion

She continued by stating that the condition-
ing of individuals into these roles is not a
natural move, but a political (social?) one.
Society, Ms. Steinem maintains, would be un-
able to function if "lower roles" were not
assumed (i.e., titOSd of the black man and the
woman) .

Ms. Steinem then moved into a discussion
of the socialization of the woman and its
effects upon her self attitudes. Women, she
feels, have been led to believe that they
are not "whole persons" or complete unless
they have a male counterpart. Society has
conditioned men into "junkies" in that only
when a woman is with a man is she really a
person. Consequently, the association with
the opposite sex is getting a "shot of iden-
tity". Women's Lib, therefore, disagrees
with these social attitudes by advocating
the mutual necessity involved here, i.e.,
men need women just as much as women need
men, there is no love where there is only
subjugation-dependency. Rather, a reward-
ing relationship demands mutual respect. A
liberated woman, consequently, acts out of
free will and not obligation or dependency.
She further attacked the rationalization of
women's dorm hours on many college campuses
by pointing out that many feel that 'Vomen

are children" and they "don't think with
their heads, but with their hips."

In Margaret Sloane's address the dual
depression of the black woman was examined.
The black woman, Ms. Sloane maintains has
not lost her identity, rather she has never
realized one. It's very hard to love your-
self when you're digging off a pancake box."
She coiitinued by pointing out that there is
no room for racism in the movement because
"a woman is a full human being." Further,
she feels that Women's Lib is not for revers-
ing male and female roles, rather to humanize
both. Ms. Sloane then discussed the dilemma
of the black woman in particular in that she
is (the black woman) the subject of a dual
depression. She pointed this out by relating
her weekly trips into town with her mother as
a child. Her mother wanted her to a) be quiet
so as not to embarass her in front of the
white folks and b) be still because that is
the trait of a lady. ?ls. Sloane continued by
attacking present legislation in most states
concerning reproductive freedom (abortion,
et. al.) by stating that most of it is decided
by "old white mouldy men who can't get it up."
Ms. Sloane then called for all people to re-
fuse to play their male-female roles and re-
late to each other on an individual basis
only. She closed her talk by quoting Black
Panther Bobby Seale, "...real man (people?)
hood depends on the subjugation of no one."

Both women brought home the point that
"the individual difference is the important
thing" rather than the outward manifestations
of sex and/or race. This, then, is what
Women's Lib is all about, 'living the re-
volution every day ... changes the way we
feel about ourselves .. .you begin to celebrate
yourself."

"During my visit to Centenary, I had
occasion to sit in on a rap session
between Dr. Labor and his students, as
well as an offshoot class of the sf
course, a session in myth and archetype.
I found his questions probing and directly
to the heart of what we write. There were
none of the Joe Explainer questions like,
'Where do you get your ideas?' or 'Has the
atom bomb influenced sf writing? 1

"So impressed was I by the work the class
had done, and the themes the students had
done on many of us, that I asked Dr. Labor
and students David Lawrence, Ellen Misch,
Cherry Payne and others if I might steal
away copies of the seminar prospectus , mid-
term and final exams. They most graciously
consented to my request, and I offer them
here for your pleasure and to provide a
more grass-roots understanding for those of
us working in the genre, as to just what
we are saying to college students in our

"If others of you out there can obtain
similar classroom documents, I think their

invaluable feedback. After all, if they're
being raised on us and our work, the least
we can do is accept the responsibility and
perceive what it is in our dreams that so
fire them."

Amid polite yawns and droll gray faces in
a half -full Hurley auditorium, the tired Reid
Buckley, brother to conservative superstars
unloaded his notebook full of right wing
apologies Monday night.

His talk, which might be described as a
debate with an imaginary but equally tired
labor Democrat who learned a different lesson
from the 1930's, centered around the minimum
wage, urban renewal , poverty , the war and
social security . He provided the listeners
with a number of shocking poverty program
theft statistics and called social security
a "boondoggle ." Generally , his lecture
expressed a bubbly faith in the ability of
the private sector to attack social ills and
sounded like "Everystudent ' s" businessman
father holding forth in the den during a
commercial .

Mr. Buckley, it must be noted, did warn
the gathering in the beginning that his
case for conservatism would, by necessity ,
be dull. It was. — Opinion by Ray Teasley

Reid Buckley:

(1) Is intelligent and articulate .

(2) Successively defended the conservative
position during the question and ans-
wer period.

After dining with him, we were impressed
with his knowledge of literature . Further-
more, we enjoyed his personal stories about
the Buckley family. Besides, he treated us
to a bottle of wine. And he doesn't like
Nixon either. Vote for McGovern.

Shifting Sentiment
in the Middle East

NOT REAL PEACE, BUT THE ABSENCE OF WAR

by Paul Jacobs /AFS

Imagine a flock of sheep, followed by
three camels, crossing the busiest inter-
section of a large U.S. city at 5 p.m.,
and you have a little sense of Cairo- -
one of the noisiest and most crowded cities
I 've ever seen.

Multiply by a thousand the excavations
for new buildings that mark downtown San
Francisco or Philadelphia, and you'll have
some sense of how Tel Aviv and Jerusalem
look today.

These images are but a hint of the cul -
tural gaps that separate countries like
Egypt and Syria from Israel, and all three
of them from the United States. They make
nearly impossible what is already a dif-
ficult task: communicating to Americans the
tenuous and shifting realities of life in
the Middle East.

Even now, many American Jews take the
slightest criticism of Israel as a sure
sign of anti-Semitism, while many American
Arabs view any disapproval of Arab policy as
Droof of a Zionist plot.

Ouite apart from these obstacles to
understanding, however, I'm handicapped by
my own feelings. Part of me -- and an im-
portant part, too -- is in Israel, where
some of my oldest and best friends live.

I go back there again, attracted and
repelled, loving it and hating it, at
ease there in certain ways I am never
comfortable here, and equally uncom-
fortable there in ways I nei^r experience
here.

In the past few years, however, I have

also made new friends in the Arab world.
I've come to understand something of their
extraordinary culture and I have developed
deep feelings of sympathy for the Pale-
stinian Arabs who once lived in what is now
Israel .

Bear all this in mind then as I try to
make a political judgement on the Middle
East today -- to compress the reactions of
a month's trip into a few words:

The whole area, it seems, is moving
to the right. The Arab nations are
shifting in that direction and the
influence of Islam is growing among the
Arab ueoples. Israel , too, is shifting
towards the right as the viewpoints
held by Israeli expansionists and
hawks become more and more acceptable
to those in the center of Israeli life.

I do not think any immediate danger of
full-scale war exists in the area. No
Arab Nation or combination of Arab na-
ions is capable of successfully con-
ducting a war against Israel and neither
are the Palestinians. And, at the mom-
ent, Israel has more than enough Arabs
to deal with, for today Israel is in
fact a bi-national state--except that
the million Arabs who live within it
and the borders of the occupied ter-
rettories are and will remain second-
class citizens. Some Israeli leaders
recognize the implications this large
Arab population holds for the future
of a Jewish state; others, unfortunately,
do not. Abba Eban has complained that
when he raised the question of Israel's
future demography if the state had more
than a million Arabs in it, one of his
fellow cabinet members jeered at him
with "Demography, shemography . "

Arab leaders are still reluctant to
criticize publicly what they believe to
be incorrect policies and actions of
other Arabs , thus maintaining a formid-
able barrier to real peace.

Meanwhile, the voices of dissent in
Israel have become more isolated from
the mass of the population and more
susceptible to suppression with the as-
sent of the majority. The conflict
grows between orthodox religious forces
and those who are demanding a relax-
ation of the tight hold the religious
community has on such matters as mar-
riage and divorce. The fight has been
postponed temporarily, but, in the
words of Deputy Prime Minister Yigal
Allon, it is a "time bomb" which will
explode in the future.

Still, despite the pessimism I feel
compelled to express, I also feel a
little sense of hope for the future.
No Arab with whom I talked believes
Israel will give up any of the occupied
territories; most Israelis feel that
way, too. But I did hear a few in-
fluential Israelis speak out in favor
returning the territories , and some of
them are now intent upon entering po-
litical life and changing the country's
fossilized leadership. And, for the
first time, I heard Palestinian Arabs
use the word "Israeli" instead of just
"Zionist."

For the first time, too, I heard Ameri-
can Jews express the view that perhaos the
American Jewish community has been wrong
in its traditionally automatic endorse-
ment of every Israeli policy. If nothing
else has happened to cause this shift, the
openly expressed hope of so many Israelis
that Nixon will be re-elected has created
some disquiet among American Jews.

I found Israel more prosperous than ever
before and the Arab countries only a little
better off than they have been. But Israel's
prosperity is based on its expanding defense
economy and its inflationary construction
industry -- and on having available a
large-scale, cheap Arab labor force. Neither
Israeli prosperity nor Arab depression can
continue forever, for both contain within
themselves the seeds of their own internal
destruction .

Two years ago, when I came back from the
•liddle East, I felt no real peace was pos-
sible in the immediate future. Now, two
years later, I am even more convinced that
what exists in the Middle East is not real
peace, but only the absence of war. The real
test of a future peace will be what policies
are adopted during the Hiatus.

SF.LF-DETERM I NATION IN A TEST-TUBE

An awesome event is about to be consum-
mated, human conception in a test tube.

Indeed, Robert G. Edwards of Cambridge
University's Physiology Department has al-
ready done it. That is, he's taken an egg
from a woman's egg sac by inserting a needle-
like laparoscope through her navel, united
the egg with a sperm cell in a glass dish,
then nurtured the resulting embryo through
more than 100 divisions. '

Now, however, in a hospital in Manchester,
England, EoVird is going to carry the concep-
tion process to completion by reimplanting
the embryo, again with the laparoscope,
through the navel into the woman's uterus.
Nine months later, if all goes well, she will
give birth to the world's first human baby
conceived in vitro .

The mother will be one of fifty volun-
teers, all of them doctors, doctors' wives,
or nurses. These would-be-mothers are sterile
because of blockages in their oviducts, which
make it impossible for the ovum (egg cell) to
make contact with sperm.

In spite of these mothers' wishes, even
longings, for the experience of giving birth,
some first rate scientists have public 1\
called for the stoppage of Edwards' experi-
ments. Harvard's James ("Doible Helix")
Watson calls in vitro conception "an abomin-
able act." Max Perutz, an English Nobel
laureate biochemist , says that the "whole
nation should decide whether or not these ex-
periments should continue." These scientists
are worried that the child will be born with
deformities --remember thai idomide?- -and that
this create a revulsion against all science.
They're more worried that the experiment, if
successful, will bring the "Brave New World"
of genetic engineering upon us before we're
reach- to cope with it.

Aldous Huxley, in Brave New World prelict-
ed that we will use genetic engineering to
create armies of identical humans who would
live in a genetically determined hierarchy.
In such a world there is no such thing as
individual freedom- -although there is ef-
ficiency, sufficiency, and even happiness.
The complexity of problems that genetic en-
gineering will bring can be glimpsed in
Perutz f s own statement: the whole nation
should decide the behavior of an individual,
in order to prevent a Brave New World, a
world in which the behavior of the individual
is decided ahead of time.

The crux of the issue is, who is to decide
a person's behavior? We would like people to
be self-determining, but at the same time we'd
like them to co-operate with each other. The
conflict between these two wishes is the basis
of most of our problems. Because this con-
flict would be minimized if we were all bio-
logically identical, m*ns thinkers believe

that the very existence of methods to bring
about biological identity is likely to lead
quite quickly to their being used to this
end. We object to uniformity because we do
not believe in the genuineness of the self-
determination of identical entities.

But there are other tilings we could do
with genetic engineering. We could use it
to create greater self-determination in a
world where more meaningful cooperation is
possible. It may be enlightening to list
some of the things that genetic engineering
is likely to be able to accomplish in the
not-too-distant future:

Amniocentesis : prenatal sampling of the
amniotic fluid around the fetus has already
begun. By this method some genetic defects
can be detected and therapeutic abortion re-
commended. Many parents regard this as a
gain in self-determination- -for themselves
and in the long run for society.

Gene therapy : modifying genes, adding
genes, subtracting genes, either before
birth or after. A gene has already been suc-
cessfully added to human cells in tissue cul-
ture, so it is clear that this affects not
just future generations but the present one
as well. And this forces us to ask questions
such as, What genes do we want? To what
extent should individuals be allowed to
choose what genes they add or subtract? If
the past is any guide, there will be Tads,
fashions, fraternities, and rivalries in
"gene apparel." Of course this is quite
futuristic- -but we may well live to see it
because early gene therapy may halt aging
and extend our lifespans.

Cloning: making a replica of an in-
dmdULj from one of its cells. This may seem
far out, but it's already been done with frogs
It's the obvious way to make Huxley's army
of identical entities. But it may be pos-
sible to use a modified form of cloning to
grow, m tissue culture, just an organ neces-
sary for transplant. It could be grown quick-
ly by the use of growth hormones, or it may
be possible to store organs in some way. In
nay case there would be no rejection problem
because one's clone organ would be genetical-
ly identical to one's own organs.

Self determination is surely enhanced if
one has some choice not only in one's life
stvle but in one's body- -or even brain- -
style. Cooperation that is necessary for
adopting a particular body (or brain) style
is certainly a deeper cooperation than what
is now possible.

As for the in vitro conception issue, I
think it is similar to the abortion issue, in
which the burning question is, "Does a woman
have the right to determine what is done with
her body? When gene therapy becomes available
the question will be, "Does a person have the
right to determine what is done with his or
her body?" We had better, at least, talk
about it now.

The Bag Vtere In

Packaging is the only thing that's in-
creasing more rapidly than population.

In 1958 the national per capita consump-
tion of packaging materials was 404 pounds.
Tins rose to 525 pounds in 1966 and will
increase according to Department of Health,
Education and Welfare estimates.

The increase from 1958-1976 is equiva-
lent to one NFL All -Pro Defensive Tackle per
man woman and child in this country. And
that's just the wrapping. 1 It has nothing
to do with all the truly useless crap which
is produced, consumed and cast off to the
rubbish heap as well.

Several factors have led to this increase.
The desire for convenience on the part of the
consumer and the ever advancing technology are
two reasons, together with the growing trend
towards self -servicing merchandising , manu-
facturers have come to rely on packaging alone
to differentiate their product from their
competitor's. No longer is there a sales
clerk to point the difference --real or imagined-
between The Product and Brand X. If a manu-
facturer wants to continue to innundate the
nation with his product he has to rely on the
package alone- -bigger , brighter and shinier- -
to get his message across. To a great extent,
packaging has become the most important part
of the sales pitch- -on the retail level.

The media- -of course- -is the message.
The bright aluminum can sells the beer and the
set of screw drivers in the blister pack sends
dad home from the hardware store with the
entire set instead of a single tool, and
after he hangs them on his peg board, he still
has the package to dispose of.

In a great many instances packaging means
profit. Not only does the product earn the
manufacturer a profit, but in many cases the
package itself earns more than the product it
protects. In addition, since things are
generally styled to become outdated in a short
period of time, they automatically gear vou
up for another sale.

From a technological viewpoint, there's
a lot that can be done with biodegradeable
materials. In Sweden, for example, a new,
self-destructing beer bottle called "Rigel-
lo" is now on the market. And a Swedish
distributor called Tetra-Pak is working on an
ideal self- destructive package in collabo-
ration with the Institute for Polymer Tech-
nology in Stockholm. Their process will
accelerate the decomposition reate of poly-
ehtelene plastics, and they are working to
develop a package which will decompose more
rapidly when discarded without losing its
strenght while still in ose.

Here in America, technologists are \%jrk-
mg toward the development of a packing con-
tainer which can be dissolved after using.
It consists of a water-soluble superstruc-
ture covered with a thin, impervious coating
which resists corrosion. After the container
is empty, the coating can be cracked open,
and the water-soluble superstructure dis-
solved.

But technology is not going to rescue us
from the crisis of excessive solid wastes--
of which packaging is a distinct part. For
while technological innovation is increasing
raw materials keep disappearing. Luckily
the idea that you can be owned by your pos-
sessions is becoming more and more obvious
to people, and some of us have started to
move away from this "curse of possessions."
The most visible ray of hope in this decade
is that people in ever increasing numbers
are demanding that we assess the quality of
our lives rather than the quanif ty--and
gear our economic and social forms to if
if that means the GNP has to slow down and
decrease to make life more livable they're
willing to let the chins fall where they may.

Sometimes it seems like we are fast
being buried in society's garbage and we
want out-- that's the baft we're in.

know what's happening where you live--
and what's being done about it. I'll

THE CONGLOMERATE

TRUCKIN' ON WITH TRUCKERS FAVORITES

Commander Cody may be on his way to
stardom- -in demand all over the college
and concert circuit, worshipped in Eur-
ope and heard round the world- -but his
music has yet to lose any of its small
club, sawdust -and-beer quality.

If it did, of course, there wouldn't
be much left. Commander Cody is the
band that took country music out of
the hands of the Laurel Canyon dilet-
tantes , giving young folks their first
glimpse of the real balls and innate
honesty in that kind of music- -and even
did the same for those Country § Western
fans lucky enough to give them a try.
But today's C§W is as far removed from its
roots as rock is, and a lot of people don't
realize how raw it used to be.

Asleep At The Wheel (recently signed
to United Artists) is a new outfit which
is following in Cody's footsteps and
seems destined to revolutionize country
music, but Cody is still the only group
in the world playing rock § roll the way
it sounded back in 1955 when young Southern
country musicians were experimenting with
the beginnings of white rock ^ roll. For
that reason I wish they had more songs like
"Boppin' Tongiht" and "Git It," instead of
less effective Little Richard oldies, but
a whole album of rockabilly will undoubted-
ly be forthcoming and s-nyway, Hot Licks ,
Cold Steel 5 Truckers Favorites (Paramount
6031) is already a theme album of sorts.

If the title doesn't give it away, the
portrait of a giant semi truck on the cover
and the lovely cutouts on the back- -like one
of those old king truckdriving albums --is
sure tipoff . Truck songs always had more
vitality than the rest of country music,
and this is largely a collection of Cody's
trucking favorites.

Real truck music is usually sung by
guys with a deep- throated Paul Bunyan
kind of voice, but when Billy C. steps
to the mike and belts out 'Truck Drivin'
*lan" in his Gene Vincent tones, the result
is a fantastic and impossible combination
of styles. It's a blend which reaches the
ultimate in 'Truck Stop Rock," which could
not have existed before Cody but sounds
right out of some old Memphis jukebox.

There are three more trucking songs
on this album, including the classic
"Mama Hated Diesels." It's one of those
slow, morn ful, cryin ' -in-your-beer numbers,
telling the story of a family where both
the father, and later the fatherless son,
gave their lives to the big rigs, leaving
the poor brave lady in the middle to crack
from the pressure. If this one gets heard
in Nashville, it'll turn a few heads.

Besides the diesel ditties and two
Little Richard numbers, Truckers Favorites
is notable for a lovely country song call-
ed "Kentucky Hills of Tennessee," a moody
rocker titled "Watch my .38," and a really
fine version of the old Cajun tune, "Diggy
Liggy Lo." To top it all, Cody hiiaself
makes an appearance at the mike to sing
"It Should've Been Me." This early '50's
R&B standard has never sounded better, and
it could be the hit to follow "Hot Rod Lin-

coln."

Since I first saw them, I've been trying
to burb my impulse to over-analyze the signi-
ficance of Cody's sensational popularity.
To me, they're like a glimpse into the reality
of that 1955 Tennessee roadhouse my mind has
conjured up over the years whenever I heard
one of those fine old Southern rock records.
But the kids who buy Cody's records most
likely never heard of Carl Perkins, and the
only explanation is that the old rock § roll
style really does have the intrinsic irre-
sistability I've always believed it to pos-
sess. It's nice to be vindicated, and it's
even better to have this kind of music around
again. Long live rock § roll!

Willie Wonka And
The Chocolate Factory

by Pam and Michael Rosenthal

One of the most pathetic deficiencies
of the American film industry is its near

incapacity to turn out good children's
films. This is largely unnoticed by adults
(especially those without kids) due to what
we can only call "ageism."

It is particularly striking when you
consider that kids relate immediately to
magic and fantasy, both of which are vir-
tually built into the film medium. (Sit-
ting in a vast dark room watching brilliant
shadows against a wall had something magical
about it to begin with.) However, movies
intended for the children's market show
even less inclination to venture into fan-
tasy than the average product .

The reason in probably economic. Child-
ren under seven do not go to the movies by
themselves, and cannot afford to buy tickets.
If they do, it is usually because some adult
has decided to take them. Since the pro-
ducer is selling tickets to the adult, he
is less interested in what the kids like
than he is in what the adult thinks the
kid should like and finally, in what the
adult wants the kid to see.

Children's fantasies deal as much in
terror and mystery as they do in beauty
and wonder. Adults generally do not like
to see their own dread spread in front of
them, and would not consider it appro-
priate for their kids. As a result, child-
ren's films are vacuous, saccharine, and
mindless .

Willie Wonka and the Giocolate Factory
is one ot the rare exceptions , a tilm that
appeals to a kid's imagination rather than
to a supposed idea of his or her intelli-
gence .

Though sprinkled with sentimental mo-
ments , the plot is drawn with a child's
fine sense of hyperbole. The chocolate
factory produces the most delicious candy
you can imagine, Wonda bars, in which five
golden tickets are enclosed, entitling five
lucky children to visit the factory.

Our hero, honest, upright Charlie Bucket,
is so poor that his family lives on cabbage
water, and while other kids and their parents
are buying up crates of candy, he can only
afford three Wonka bars. However, although
we know that Charlie will be among the lucky
five, we and Charlie sweat out fully half
the film waiting for the ticket. The pacing
takes on the measured suspense of a folk
tale, .complete with magic numbers (three
Wonka bars , like three bears or three bro-
thers) --and it works.

The bad kids, meanwhile, get eliminated
one by one, through a series of picturesque
run-ins with the candy -making apparatus: a
gluttonous boy gets stuck in a conduit of
liquid chocolate, while the gum-chewer gob-
bles some unperfected chewing gum and turns
into a giant blueberry. We are assured,
rather weakly, that these children will be
restored to their original conditions and
even morally improved by their trials, but
this is a film devoted more to calamitous
punishment than to moral suasion. It's in the
tradition of the Grimm Brothers 1 stories and
has some of the artistry.

Willie Wonka presides over the special
effects, and maintains an initiation rite
that only the good and honest can pass un-
scathed. Played as a glazed-eyed Captain
Trips type by Gene Wilder, he is assisted by

ucLODer ^u, i l

a troupe of dwarves, the Oompa Loompas , who
resemble the Munchkins from the Wizard of Oz .
Dwarves in kids films have rarely been as
cute or cozy as intended, and the strength
of the Oompa Loompas is that they exploit
the menace inherent in their roles and are
an inspired part of the candy factory's
understated, goose-bumpy terror.

Clearly, there is much in the film
that is objectionable. The morality is
inflexibly old- line- -the bad, bratty kids
are horribly punished, the poor, innocent,
and honest always win.

On the other hand, there is something
liberating about the film's sensitivity to
where kids' heads are at. In one scene,
after Charlie drinks some magic soda pop, he
levitates toward a rotary fan at the roof of
the factory, and escapes by belching himself
back to the ground. The beauty of the scene
lies in its recognition of children's fascin-
ation with physical quirks, including those
that generally meet with adult disapproval.

Although Willie Wonka is no longer being
played regularly, it does pop up now and
again on the midnight -shows -for-freaks cir-
cuit that includes Reefer Madness , El Topo ,
and Night of the Living Dead . Needless to
say, it works beautifully as a mind-blower,
and we think that groups planning film series
should consider adding it to their schedules.
Kids and their parents are a significant
part of even campus populations, and are
shafted and ignored enough already.

Beans Instead of Meat
In School Cafeterias

The government can't seem to do anything
about high meat prices, but at least they're
considering an alternative to meat for feder-
ally-subsidized food programs which may actu-
ally be more nutritious.

Hie Department of Agriculture recently
announced a proposal to let school cafeterias
freely substitute soybeans for meat without
disqualifying themselves for federal reim-
bursement. It will be interesting to see if
today's kids, who reportedly eat more junk
foods than ever before, will accept the un-
familiar soybean dishes.

Many people began eating soy products in-
stead of meat back in the early forties when
World War II caused high prices and food
shortages. People found literally hundreds
of ways to prepare soybeans .

More recently, in 1961, the Department of
Agriculture published a report on the protein
value of soybeans which found that soy pro-
ducts are the most nutritious and concentrated
food known to man. They reported that two
pounds of soy flour equals five pounds of
beneless meat, six dozen eggs, or four pounds
of cheese.

It's cheaper, too--it costs about a
quarter for one hundred grams of soy protein,
compared to about a dollar for one hundred
grams of beef protein. In addition, soybeans
furnish nutrients not found in meat , such as
a high content of vitamin C, and they are low
in saturated fat and cholesterol.

Whatever the schools decide to do with
soybeans, they certainly won't be getting them
as a free commodity. Soybeans have never been
a surplus crop. In fact, they are one of
the nation's "big three" billion-dollar export
products, and huge quantities of soy meal also
go into stock feeds and pet foods .

So if it turns out that farmers must com-
pete with ranchers for use of marginal lands
which are suitable for both beef and soybeans,
then the price of the alternative to meat will
also begin to rise.

In New National Spirit

PARIS ( LEF News Service)-- Prisoners
in the Bastille, liberated last week, ce-
lebrated their emancipation early this
morning by gathering outside the Palace of
Versailles, quietly entering, and gaily
blindfolding King Louis and Queen Marie,
then, in a spirit of comradely brotherhood
rarely seen in such moments, carrying them
off to a joyous breakfast at Walcaire's
Sidewalk Cafe.

'Of course," one ex -prisoner remarked,
"this is not an endorsement of their actions
in throwing us into the Bastille, but we
are willing to let bygones be bygones.
After all, we are free now, so who cares
about either the imprisonment or the means
by which it was done?" --Jeff D'Aiell

A Golden
Opportunity

by Tom Marshall

Ends Three-Year Sig Reign

Horns Claim Flag Crown

Spotting Sig I a quick touchdown, the
Horns rallied for a 13-6 victory Wednesday
night to cop the championship of the Cen-
tenary intramural flag football league.
The victory revenged the Horns' only
regular season defeat and also, ended the
Sigs 1 3-year championship reign.

Hie Si^s took the opening kickoff and
marched down the field in easy fashion
with a Frank Parks' 5-yard run scoring the
touchdown. The extra point attempt failed
as Don Birkelbach knocked down a Parks'
pass .

The game see-sawed back and forth
through most of the first half. Then
with a minute and a half left in the
half , on a fourth and goal play, Emmet t
Treadaway lofted a 25 -yard scoring pass
to Birkelbach. Treadaway then rifled
a bullet to Birkelbach for the all-
important extra point.

The Sigs threatened in the closing
minutes of the half, but an interception
by Dan Sparrow killed the rally. The
half ended with the Horns on the Sig
2 -yard line.

The Horns struck again early in the
second half on a 5 -yard pass from Tread-
away to Mike Paulson. An unsuccessful
extra point attempt set the score at
13-6, the final score.

However, the game was full of action
until the end. The Sigs threatened on
clutch fourth down passes from Parks to
Bill Dunlap, but the Horn defense of

Perry Peyton, Tracy Knauss, Glen Ketchum,
Randy West, Paulson, Sparrow, and Bir-
kelbach bent but didn't crack.

These two teams had reached the
finals by winning semifinal games Mon-
day night. The Horns downed TKE I, 12-7,
in a tight game, and the Sifrs routed the'
Faculty, 19-0.

In Wednesday's third place game, the
TKE 's smashed the Faculty, 20-0.

The playoffs brought' an end to a
highly-successful and highly- competitive
football season.

Well, the new uniforms didn't come in on
time, and two sections of cushion seats that
have already been sold on a season basis
don't even exist yet, and the resurfacing
job on the floor just did get finished soon
enough .

But for some reason, Larry Little and
Riley Wallace didn't seem worried; in fact,
most of the time they were smiling, and I
think I even heard a few laughs.

That was the scene at Monday afternoon's
Press Day as the public got its first look
at the 1972-1973 edition of the Centenary
Gent lemen .

While Little was deftly fielding a
barrage of probing questions fired at him
by members of the local media, his troops
were playfully cavorting about the confines
of the Gold Dome, with a large group of
photographers shooting a seemingly endless
footage of film.

Like any good team, the Gents started
with basics. Layups , reverse layups. short
jumpers. Great. Now for some good stuff,
or I guess I should say "stuffs." At one
end of the court, a few of the "big men,"
Messrs. Parish, Fuller, Murphy, Johnson j
Davis and others, are really enjoying
themselves. A stuff here. One-handed,
two-handed. Slam dunk. Fuller obliges a
photog who has clamored up behind the glass
backboard as the Juco transfer displays a
few driving, over -the -head, backward stuff
shots .

ROOSEVELT FULLER

...bring back the dunk.
At midcourt, there's a lot of fancy ball
handling going on. Behind -the -back passes,
between the leg dribbles, sharp cuts, hard,'
driving passes. Who are these guys anyway?
That brand new maroon and white "C" at center-
court will never be the same.

But after about an hour and a half, all
the questions are answered- -at least for
the time being- -and the photographers have
packed up their equipment. Little shakes
the hand of the last reporter, and the
Gold Dome echoes of bouncing basketballs.

"Five minutes," the coach hollers, and
the 23 prospects hustle off to the locker
room to get into their work clothes. There's
a lot of work between now and the November
28 season opener.

A lot of work, but spirit is high. .And
the talent is there. One preseason basket-
ball magazine opines that Centenary is on
the very brink of basketball power, much
like Oral Roberts and Jacksonville of rec-
ent years. And at least one writer thinks
that Centenary will be a household worrf
by the end of the season.

There's no doubt that the possibility

OUR TRASH OVERFLOWETH

To The Editor:

Students are constantly confronted with
signs stating "Help keep campus clean."
Why, then, is virtually every trash can
on campus never emptied? Somebody isn't
doing their job.

IN SHOCK

To the Editor:

Please tell Mike Gilbert if he doesn't
want his Who's Who thing, I do. Also, if
any YONOOPIN Beauties decide to forgo her
(their?) honor, I'll gladly accept- - I» didn 't
vote for myself for nothing.

And I'm still in shock that I didn't get
Ms. Centenary! Humph.

Anxiously § humbly waiting,

SITTING BACK

Taylor § Gang:

I've just finished reading today's edition
fo the CONGLOMERATE. For a variety of reasons,
vol 67, #8, strikes me as the best looking,
informative, and comprehensive school paper
I've read in a long time.

Not being an active staff member anymore,
I can sit back and look at the CONGLOMERATE
somewhat objectively. My basis for compari-
son is a knowledge of past volumes and of
other school papers that fall into my hands
either through SGA offices or other means.
Maybe it's just because I heartly agree
with some of the opinions expressed (notably
Mario Savvy's), but a full reading of yall's
efforts always proves rewarding.

Keep up the good work and best of luck
with your advertising policy hassles.

Thanks
WTG

DAIELL RECOGNIZES GOOD

To the Editor:

Jeff Daiell's letter (CONGLOMERATE , Octo-
ber 13, 1972), denying the existence of or
attacking God, raises the oldest question of
man, the question of evil. It is raised in
the creation story of the Old Testament, in
man's oldest story, the story of Job, and most
explicitly in one of Christianity's central
events , the crucifixion of Jesus .

The creation story answers the question by
saying that it is man himself who is respon-
sible for evil. In the story of Job, his
wife attempts to ^solve the problem by denying
God, "Curse God and die. M The Christian
faith proclaims that evil (death) has been
and can be overcome in life. We, limited,
finite beings , can find no rational answer to
the problem of evil; all amutrs , even a de-
nial of God, are not rational. The Chris-
tian answer is an answer of faith.

The relevant problem of evil for a Chris-
tian is not to explain the source of evil.
We may play around with it, but find no
meaningful answer. The relevant question is
how will we respond to evil. Jesus was able
to say "Father" in the hour of his death.
And Christians, in faith, try to call even
what we understand (perhaps wrongly) as evil,
"Father." We try to say to life, in all of
its forms, this is good. Most importantly,
we try to act as if every instance of so-
called evil is an opportunity to do good.
We try to respond to evils, hunger, nakedness,
injustice, loneliness, suffering, by over-
coming them with good. This may appear ab-
surd- -it takes some courage to so live- -but
we live this way in hope, not despair. Al-
though the source of evil is a mystery, we
do not deny the good (God) , but live in the
hope that finally the evil, even death, will
be overcome by our response of faithful ac-
tion.

It is good that a college community like
ours be confronted by a letter such as Mr.
Daiell has written. It reminds us that
there is no rational answer and that our only
option to despair is the answer of faith.
It confronts us with a position that is real
in our world, and that we had rather forget
exists. Mr. Daiell's letter does, in fact,
reveal that he is able to make a distinction
between good and evil, and leads me to believe
that our difference is probably one of seman-
tics , for it is the very good he recognizes
as a possibility that I, in faith, call God.

McGOVERN'S TAX PROPOSALS

To the Editor:

Steve Weissman's article, Wealth Is
Safe With McGovern", conveniently over-
looks one major point in the Senator's
program. That is McGovern's proposal to
tax all inherited wealth above $500,000
at the a rate of 77%. Indeed, the South
Dakota Savior's original plan had been to
tax such inheritances by 1001 (Huey Long is
alive and well in the Middle West!) until
some workingclass reactionaries protested
that it was "unAmerican" to tax anyone or
anything 100%.

Well , I understand the Senator plans to
explain his proposals in a series of "fire-
side chats". It should be interesting, on
Election Day, to see if George McGovern can
duplicate Samson's feat of winning a battle
using the jawbone of an ass.

Sincerely,
Juanito Derecha

The Election:

Where Are
We Now?

by W. P. Garvin

With less than two weeks remaining before
the American people perform their quadrien-
nial act of supreme sovereignty, it might be
well to stop momentarily and ask ourselves
just what is going on.

The most noticeable factor of this election
is that it seems to be boring people stiff.
While it is a truism that a Presidential
campaign never heats up until after the World
Series, this year's version seems to be leav-
ing most voters flat. What little enthusiasm
there is is limited to the hard core supporters
of the various candidates. It remains to be
seen whether or not the projected visit to
Shreveport of the GOP's super- campaigner --
Julie Nixon Eisenhower -- today will perk
things up locally, but frankly I think it will
take more than this .

The cause of this apathy is harder to define.
Perhaps it results from the apparent futility
of it all. After all, everyone knows that
Senator McGovern doesn't stand a snowball's
chance in wherever to be elected. Just as
everyone knew that he had no chance to be
nominated. The President, on the other hand,
is not taking things so lightly. He is, if
nothing else, a student of politics, and he
knows all too well what is the result of lax-
ity. Prime Minister Harold Wilson two years
ago, buttressed by a multitude of favorable
polls and outlooks, told the British people
to "have a good election," and apparently
most of his supporters did just that, without
bothering to vote. The result was one of
the more surprising upsets in recent British
history, the election of the Conservatives
under Edward Heath.

Or, perhaps the apathy results from a
general "a curse on both your houses" attitude
among the voters. It is no secret that Pres-
ident Nixon is not the most personally popu-
lar President that we have ever had. In ]968,
he was elected with just over 43% of the pop-
ular vote against a severely divided Democra-
tic opposition. The Democratic challenger,
on the other hand, is seen by many as a "radi-
cal" who has stolen control of the party and,
likewise, has been unable to stir up much
popular enthusiasm. Charisma seems to be
lacking anywhere on either ticket.

Ivhich leaves the voter with a feeling of
"why bother." This feeling may well dissipate
before November 7, since both parties are be-
ginning to picture this election as the most
important of the century, but it will be sur-
prising if the turnout exceeds the 1968 fig-
ure of 62t. *
About the campaigns themselves, there is
not much to be added. In any presidential
election, the incumbent enjoys an automatic
advantage in terms of familiarity. In other
fields this may breed contempt, but in office
holders, especially presidents, it breeds
safety. After all, we know what the man in
office is going to do. (Some observers credit
this factor as being the primary reason for
Harry S. Truman's surprise victory over Tom
Dewey in 1948 -- the feeling that at the last
moment thousands of people who had intended
all along to opt for Dewey pulled Truman's name

because he was "good, old, safe, dependable
Harry.") Any replacement is a question mark.
In this century alone, only two incumbent
presidents have been denied re-election if
they ran -- W. H. Taft and Herbert Hoover --
and both of them had serious problems. Thus
we start with the premise that Mr. Nixon will
win, unless something serious happens.

This of course puts Senator McGovern in a
bind. He must create a serious issue on which
to run, but he must do it without seeming to
be the very radical that many people fear.
Thus far he has depended on corruption (the
alleged Republican corruption, that is), but
has not gotten much mileage out of it.

Which is not to say that Senator McGovern
does not have issues. The above-cited corrup-
tion (i.e., Watergate, wheat sale to Russia,
etc.), the state of the economy (in the last
two years the cost of living has increased
7 1/2 %, which, while not runaway inflation,
is hardly creeping either, and with no signi-
facant decline in the unemployment rate) ,
the war ( a note in Tuesday night's paper
that U.S. bombers flew "only" 120 missions
over the North is hardly encouraging ), Presi-
dential appointments ranging from the
original choice of his vice-president to his,
successful and unsuccessful , nominees for the
Supreme Court.

But, of course, the picture is not all one-
sided, and Mr. Nixon is waging what is perhaps
his best campaign -- the image of the states-
man-President, far above the battle, leaving
the actual hard campaigning to others . This
is the picture that seems to be appealing to
most Americans, and the President is playing
it well. He is also, wisely, leaving the
bulk of the dirty work not to Vice-President
Agnew, as in 1968, but rather to neighbor
John Connally, recognizing that his over-
whelming margin -- which he wants badly --
will have to come from Democrats if it comes.
And who better to point out the errors of
the Democratic nominee than another (at
least nominal) Democrat?

At this point then, most of the signs
point to a Nixon reelection. The only ques-
tion in most people's minds is by what margin.
Yet recent Gallup polls show that while a
good one- third of the Democrats currently are
considering defecting to the President, much
of this support is "soft" -- it can be swayed
away. Time alone will tell whether Mr. McGov-
ern can recapture enough of this Democratic
vote to turn the campaign into a real horse-
race. And time is what the Senator has little
of right now.

The most interesting race in Louisiana
currently is the three - (or four-) cornered
Senatorial contest. While it too has not really
gotten people excited, there are some interest-
ing elements to it which could surprise some
people.

Item: the Republican candidate, Mr. Tole-
dano, seems to be writing off North Louisiana
as far as any actual serious campaigning is
concerned. Whether this means he expects Mr.
Johnston to win handily, or he expects himself
to ride in on a strong Nixon vote in the
North is unknown.

Item: the best financed campaign thus far,
surprisingly, seems to be that of the Indepen-
dent, former Governor McKeithen. But then he
never did seem to have much trouble with
money. Indeed, unconfirmed reports are that
the Johnston campaign is in serious financial
trouble, which could hurt him.

Item: reports out of the South are that
number one there is the aforementioned Indepen-
dent. Apparently his pro-rural appeal is hav-
ing some effect in the less urbanized areas.

Item: Mr. Johnston has suggested that Mr.
Toledano Withdraw, so that the so-called "good
government" vote not be split between those
two men. To my knowledge Mr. Johnston has
not suggested that he himself withdraw for the
same reason.

Item: the question of where will the blacks
and liberals go is hardly moot. Mr. Johnston's
fervent attempts to disassociate himself with
the McGovern candidacy have apparently convinced
these groups, if nobody else, that he really
is not a loyal Democrat. Thus, for whom will
the McGovern voters go in the Senatorial race?

Speculation: Mr. Hall Lyons, the American-
Independent candidate, will probably do as
well as will his Presidential candidate, Mr.
Schmitz: i.e., maybe 51 of the vote.

Speculation: if there is a heavy turnout,
and the bulk of this turnout is pro -Nixon, Mr.
Toledano could very easily slip in on his
coattails. This would probably take a Nixon
victory approaching 701 of the vote, vdiich
while unliKly is not out of the question.

Speculation: if turnout is moderate to light

and if Mr. McGovern runs stronger than expected
(i.e., 40%+ of the vote), the next Senator from
this state may well be John McKeithen. This
is not to say that McKeithen is a McGovernite --
far from it. But it will take a strong anti-
Nixon vote to keep Toledano out, and let
McKeithen slip in.

Conclusion: if your bookie is putting on
the pressure, reasonable odds right now say
McKeithen: 2-1, Toledano: 2 1/2 -1 (5-2 for
the purists), Johnston: 4-1 at best, Lyons
100-1.

Giving Birds the Business

(AFS) If you can quietly buy up a lot
of parrots, macaws, cockatoos and finches,
you might be able to develop a nice black
market business . Already the price of
mynahs has soared from about $20 last
spring to around $250 today.

The Wall Street Journal reports that
USDA men are lurking around bird farms,
gassing any and all exotic birds suspect-
ed to be carriers of Asiatic Newcastle
Disease.

The task force, now scouring California
for tropical birds to gas, appraises the
birds and compensates the owners. But
they're really giving them the business -
or rather taking it away- -because the
$300,000,000 bird biz is a threat to the
5 billion dollar poultry. The egg-men
shift the blame to the powerful lobbying
effort of the meat people. Egg- layers
could he vaccinated but the vaccine would
make meat chickens temporarily ill and un-
marketable.

There'll be a bird-ban of course, until
procedures for safe entry are developed.
Meanwhile, business is down twenty per cent
at New York's Fish and Cheeps pet shop,
and Hartz Mountain is going to seed with
an expected loss of $4,000,000 in sales of
pet products next year.

wish to attend need only pay 75 cents.

Take Me To The Treasure has begun tour-
ing the area in conjunction with the Green
Gold Library System. Members of the cast
and crew will be performing in those small
outlying towns that are said to be "cultural-
ly deprived."

As the touring is getting underway, so are
the rehearsals for The Imaginary Invalid ,
a classic farce by Moliere'. Dan Chistiaens
will take the part of Monsieur Argan, the
imaginary invalid. His wife, Beline, will
be played by Ann Gremillion and the parts

Stay of Execution
For Unique Lake

(AFS) Pyramid Lake on Paiute Indian
land northeast of Reno, Nevada has won a tem-
porary reprieve from destruction.

The stunningly beautiful 30-mile-long
desert basin is now drving up at the rate
of one foot per year, and has already reced-
ed 80 feet below its normal level because of
ther diversion of irrigation waters upstream
by farmers.

Acting in response to a suit about this
filed by the Pyramid Lake Paiute Indian tribe
against the Interior Department, Secretary of
the Interior Rogers C. B. Morton ordered a
one -year reduction in water diverted from
the lake's source- -the Truckee River--to other
areas. His order is effective November 1.

Homecoming Planned

Plans are already being made by the Stud-
ent Senate for Homecoming. At the October
19 SGA meeting President Rick Clark announced
that the theme for this year's Homecoming,
which is scheduled for Saturday February 3,
1973, is "Centenary Today."

Various Senate subcommittees are now be-
ing formed to coordinate the festivities.

Sophomore Senator Cindy Yeast and Junior
Senator Holly Hess will be helping Rick
Clark in organizing a noontime program for
the alumni on Saturday. As in the past, the
Senate has asked the fraternities to host an
open house in the afternoon. In addition to
these events, the fraternity and sorority
houses will have their annual decorative
competition.

On Saturday night the Gents will host
Arkansas State Univ. in the Golden Dome.
Following the game a dance will be held in
Haynes Gym from 10:00 pm to 2:00 am. Last
year's Homecoming band, the Royal American
Showmen, will once again provide the music.

. VELIKOVSKY'S SCIENTIFIC 'HERESIES'

In the weeks before the first "great
step for Mankind" on the moon, Immanuel
Velikovsky sent two urgent messages to
ri.H. Hess, chairman of the Space Science
Board of the National Academy of Science.
Velikovsky said that, by his calculations,
the moon had as recently as 27 centuries
ago been heated in the presence of a
strong magnetic field and that the rocks
on the moon would have a remnant magne-
tism. He urged that "the orientation of
the rocks before removal should be noticed
and marked. . .You said to me that this sim-
ple task of marking the orientation is not
included in the program; if it is to be
omitted, you will have a question instead
of an answer." 9

Hess was one of the few scientists who
took Velikovsky seriously but he was unable
to persuade NASA to have the rocks photo-
graphed before removal from the moon's sur-
face. No one at NASA expected the rocks
to be magnetized. However, after Armstrong
and Aldrin brought the moon rocks back to
earth, lunar scientists reported, "Natural
remnant magnetization has been found in the
crystalline rocks and breccias .. .the result
of a process not yet understood." And NASA
announced that the major task of Apollo 12
would be "to register the orientation of
the rocks before their removal by photo-
graphing them while on the ground."

Of course, Velikovsky was not mentioned
in these releases . Velikovsky is a scien-
tific heretic. He has proposed that Venus
was expelled from Jupiter about 35 centuries
ago, leaving its point of departure as the
"great red spot" on Jupiter. Venus, which
then had a highly elliptical orbit, passed
close to earth 34 centuries ago, causing
much havoc, recorded in ancient histories
and myths all over the earth. Venus grad-
ually settled into its present orbit, but
not before knocking Mars out of its previous
orbit 27 centuries ago, so that Mars had a
close approach to earth, causing another
great upheaval , also recorded by men all
over the globe. These cataclysms brought
about profound changes in earth's rate of
movement around the sun and the moon's move-
ment around earth, and therefore the year--
lengths and month --lengths have been altered
This too is documented by human records.

When this hypothesis was published in
book form in 1950 as Worlds in Collision ,
scientists raised a great outcry, and
threatened to boycott MacMillan, the pub-
lisher of the book, so that MacMillan drop-
ped Velikovsky even while his book was a
bestseller (Doubleday, having no textbooks
to boycott, picked him up.) Nor would the
scientists let Velikobsky publish rebuttals
to their arguments in journals. Velikovsky
had committed three scientific sins:

1. He had published for a popular audi-
ence (even though he had extensive footnotes
so that each assertion could be checked) :

2. He had not stuck to his speciality,
medicine and psychoanalysis, for he had used
historical arguments to bolster a physical
theory;

3. Most damning of all, his picture of
the solar system was just scientifically
impossible.

"Can we preserve democracy when education
in true scientific principles .. .can be nul-
lified by the promulgation of such lies --yes
lies, as are contained in wholesale lots in
Worlds Collision ?" wrote Dean McLaughlin,
Professor of Astronomy, University of Michi-
gan, in a letter to the president of Mac-
Millan in 1950.

Velikovsky's major "lie" was that the solar
system was not a solely gravitational clock.
(Newtonian mechanics and even Einstein's Gen-
eral Relativity makes a giant clock of the
solar system where the only important force is
gravity.) Velikovsky made the revolutionary
proposal that electro -magnetic forces play an
important part in the behavior or the solar
system. On the scale of living things on
earth, electromagnetic forces are supremely

important- -they account for just about every-
thing that goes on in living things. But on
the scale of the solar system, as one scient-
ist pointed out, the sun would have to be
charged with 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 volts
in order for Velikovsky's scheme to work- -and
the scientist added that the sun has a charge
of, at most 1800 volts. However, that was in
1952. Eight years later the sun was found to
have a charge of 10,000,000,000,000,000,000
volts, and to be at the center of a huge mag-
netic field which embraces the entire solar
system.

But this was only the beginning. Velikovsky
had made many other predictions, especially a-
about Venus. At a time when Venus was believ-
ed to be earthlike in temperature, with a
largely nitrogen atmosphere, Velikovsky said
that Venus should be giving off more heat than
it gets from the sun; should have a largely
carbon dioxide and hydrocarbon atmosphere;
and most startling of all, it might well be
rotating backwards because of its brushes with
other planets. Mariner II in 1962 reported
back to earth that Venus had a temperature
of 800 degrees F, that the atmosphere was
largely carbon dioxide, and also contained
carbohydrates and hydrocarbons , and surprise -
of -surprise, Venus rotates backwards! Besides,
it has been discovered that Venus has a reso-
nant lock on Earth- -every time Venus passes
between the Sun and Earth, Venus turns the
same face toward us. Astronomers are very
hard put to explain all this on the usual
model of the solar system.

These finds have begun the vindication of
Velikovsky, at least among the younger scient-
ists, and he has been invited to speak to
scientific audiences at universities. Without
rancour, he lets the "facts" (once heresies)
speak for themselves. Besides the Venus
data, there is Jupiter as a hot, and glowing,
planet instead of encased in miles of ice.
Velikovsky had even predicted Jupiter's power-
ful magnetic field and its radio waves. Mars
has a cracked and moon-like face and has lost
a lot of angular motion- -all of which leads
scientists to say things like, "The means by
which tors could have decelerated presents a
problem," and, "A change of rotation may pro-
vide the stresses which produced (the faults) "
Just as Velikovsky predicted.

All of these data and many more appear in a
special issue of Pensee, a monthly magazine
of the Student Academic Freedom Forum, Box 414,
Portland, Oregon, very appropiately titled:

Yesterday's Heresy is Today's Science?

Bright Lights
and

Gentle Costumes

by Brooks Johnston

If you can tear yourselves away from the
bright lights and the costumes and the open-
ing night excitement, you can see the unreal
ity behind the real. By "unreality," I mean
the dull, drab, and ridiculous eve rday old
things that happen inside our own Majorie
Lyons Playhouse.

The newest arrival to the Playhouse Family
is Miss Barbara Acker. She is available any
day of the week to explain and illustrate
her now famous "forward stretch." Contrary
to popular belief, her technique has nothing
to do with football strategy. Instead, it's
a wonderful method for turning your head
into a super-sound system. She employs this
technique in aiding students with difficult
words such as 'wa-ter-me-lon" and "wood".

Of course the two professors remaining
from previous years^ Mr. Robert Buseick and
Kip Holloway have not faded into the back-
ground. They each have nuances of their own.
Mr. Buseick has managed to contract a hairy
growth on his chin while Kip is beaming over
the former Lee Ellen Pappas who is now Mrs .
Holloway.

Having just recently recovered from a
successful season opener "Rosencrantz §
Guildenstern are Dead," the three faculty
members are preparing for an educational
season of "Prosperous Theatre" (or is it the
other way around?) . But on to other things .
It is appropriate here not to recognize those
who hold the leads in the Majorie Lyons Play-
house Productions, but to celebrate the all
too quickly forgotten "Little Guy." It is
in this spirit that I include "Extra's -Union
Intoxication Or How to be a Bozo in Three
Easy Cues."

"Why not," he said to himself, "it might
do me some good." And laying a finger aside
of his nose he recalled the oft -quoted slogan
of the Marjorie Lyons Playhouse and Gameshow:
"There are no small parts, only small actors.'

There are those who might criticize this
actor's Everyman for his lack of "bad-loser"
spirit and for his inability to refuse a
minor role but I stand behind him 1000%.
He's a regular fellow in my opinion, and it
is in his memory that I hereby establish and
found the "Sarah Bernhardt Award for Little
People."

Nominees for this soon to be coveted award
must fulfill the following three requirements.

1) The creation of a well -developed character
I use 'well -developed" to mean that the char-
acter must have a separate and distinct per-
sonality from that of the actor since playing
oneself onstage is not artistic achievement.
This requirement automatically eliminates
prunes, beggars, and watercoolers .

2) The careful use of gestures. An actor
should use gestures to "physicalize" the
thought with which he is occupied at any
given moment. This does not include waving
at Aunt Sally, blowing one's nose (unless
called for in the script), nor spitting into
the audience without due provocation.

3) The application of the correct ad lib to
the correct situation. Under this most dif-
ficult of categories one might consider
shouting "Heads" when one has forgotten one's
lines. "Mazeltov-ers" are disqualified be-
cause of lack of originality. (Note: when
searching for Romeo 5 Co. "Peas and Carrots"
would be an effective variation on 'Tlazeltov")

After careful consideration of all possi-
ble candidates, I am proud to announce the
runners -up for the Sarah Bernhardt Award for
Little People (familiarly known as the S.
"Oh!" B.s). The 4th runner-up is Mattie Horn-
swatch who never has appeared in anything nor
ever will (tough-luck Mattie). Third runner-
up is Lurch LaRue who captivated his audiences
as the fourth guard from the left of the big
2l e * 7116 second runner-up is Dora Nerd
who told fans backstage only last week "Ah
dun dunnit, Eben, Ah dun dunnit." Miss Nerd
is best remembered for her touching perfor-
mance as a fire-pole in "You Can't (or per-
haps you can) Take It With You." First run-
ner up honors go to Sammy Starr who tripped

October 27, 1972

his way through the Denmark Penitentiary
as the Melancholy Danish. (Perhaps we mean
Stewed Danish.) Audiences will long remem- -
ber Sammy's style, grace, and form when he
pulled out all the stops and jumped headlong
through a flurry of swashing swords and into
the lap of the fat lady on the first row.

The winner of this (surely by now) coveted
award for Little People goes to the fat lady
on the first row for gallantry under seige and
during the craziest of second acts. (Right-on
. . . Target) .

Seriously friends, we must realize that
without our extras (familiarly known as
"supernumeraries" or "camel -drivers") the
show couldn't go on. So to all you little
extras out there on the stage of life, "Places"
and "For heaven's sake, watch out for the
Fat Lady,"

So while it's still fresh on my mind
witout sounding like Ronny Recruiter -- audi-
tions are open to any Centenary student. And
now that there's even appropriate recognition
for the fourth guard from the left by the big
Oak Tree, you can respond en masse the next
time you see the sign "Aunt flariorie Wants You."

Dr. Carlton Speaks
About West Africa

by Cherry Payne

"In Monrovia, Liberia, where I lived for
the last two years, 150 inches a year was
considered to be a light rainfall. It has
been known to get up to 200 inches a year."
Dr. Virginia Carlton, Chairman of the Math
Department thus related some of her West
African experiences in chapel yesterday
morning. Dr. Carlton was assigned as a
Fulbright Professor of Mathematics at the
University of Liberia from 1970-1972. She
returned to the States with an abundance of
West African artifacts (many of which have
been on display in the Library Foyer this
past week) and experiences.

Dr. Carlton placed the main emphasis of
her talk on West Africa, as she noted that
there are close to 50 nations on the con-
tinent, hundreds of languages ( at least
28 dialects are spoken in Liberia alone) and
in size the continent covers 12 million square
miles .

An interesting point made in Dr. Carlton's
talk was her observation of the Liberian
culture and its influence upon the develop-
ment of individual sel f -concepts . She point-
ed out that West Africans appeal strongly to
people from highly technological societies.
One of these is the fact that she feels that
the individual West African is completely
himself in that he has not learned to hide
himself behind a facade. She found the
peonle to be honest with themselves and each
other and they would not tolerate pompous
individuals. Dr. Carlton further emphasized
the closeness of family relationships and
that they are, to the West African, the cent-
ral theme of his existence. She pointed out
that there is tremendous caring for small
children, particularly for those who are left
without parents. She related the story of
one of her students, Edward Liberty, whose
father had 75 (that's right) wives . His own
mother was one of the youngest wives and had
had nine children. When Edward's father
died, a government official named Liberty who
was evidently some sort of relative, adopted
all nine of the children. Stressing the
intensity of familial relationships, Dr. Carl-
ton pointed out that many children in Liberia
grow up calling women old enough to be their
mothers '?la."

?tore than 90 per cent of the people of
Liberia are in some way involved in agricul-
tural pursuits. This,' in itself, Dr. Carlton
maintained, is conducive to more personal
relationships and a prevailing concern for
people and not tilings. Yet, Dr. Carlton con-
tinued that this seems to instill a sense of
history in these people. "Never," she stated,
"have I felt so much a part of history as I
did in Liberia. We move so fast in the west-
em nations that it is very difficult to even
relate to history . . .In a country like
Liberia, where one foot is still in the cent-
uries past while the other foot is advancing,
one has the feeling that all time is present
right now."

Politically, Liberia seeras to be a nation
more interested in development than idealism.

THE CONGLOMERATE

In other words, the fact that Liberia is on
the one-party system is essential for a small
developing nation in that it unites all
energies in one direction rather than allow-
ing them to become too diverse. Furthermore,
with the installation of William Tolbert as
President (at the death of William Tubman)
the nation seems to be taking a new interest
in development, yet the maintenance of the
cultural heritage. For example, Dr. Carlton
pointed out that the native African costume
is presently often referred to as a "business
suit."

Dr. Carlton has experienced many fascinating
events within the past two years and is liter-
ally quite infatuated with life in a small
nation struggling for its very existence. She
should be envied simply for the perspectives
she has developed, if nothing else.

Scouting Report (I)

by Tom Marshall

Editor's Note: This is the first in a
four-part series of columns that will
examine, position by position, the Cen-
tenary varsity basketball outlook for
the upcoming 1972-73 season.

THE GUARDS

"The guard position is the most important
position on the ball club from the stand-
point of experience. The guards stabilize
the team."

The speaker is Centenary Head Basketball
Coack Larry Little, and he should know.
When you ask him about guards, he has a lot
to talk about.

When the Gents took the court in the Gold
Dome on Sunday, October 15 for their first
workout of the year, Little had eight peo-
ple (excluding freshmen) competing for no
more than "four or possibly five" guard spots
on the squad. "The competition at the guard
position is rough and ead. guy knows he has
a job on his hands," says Little, contin-
uing, "Not only for the first two positions,
but also for the backups who will play a lot."
lot." This leads the mentor to allow' that,
This leads the mentor to allow that, "At
least from a numbers standpoint, we have
more depth at guard than at any other
position."

for just a few spots, what's the situation?
The answer to that question starts with
Melvin Russell, the 6-1, 185 -pounder out of
Shreveport-Woodlawn who has been in the
starting line-up every time that the Gents
have taken the court for the past two
seasons. "Through the last two years, Mel-
vin has been a stronger guard- -offensively
and defensively- -than any we'll see all this
year. He will pressure you in the last five
minutes of a game exactly the same as he did
at the beginning. And one of his greatest
attributes is his complete and total dedi-
cation to hustle- -not only in games but in
practice as well. It's an inspiration to
the other players." The only possible weak-
ness in Russell's overall game, as Little
sees it, is Melvin 1 s shooting. "But,"
Little is quick to add, "lie has improved
his shooting to the point where I would la-
bel him as an adequate outside shooter."

Milton "Roadrunner" Home also ranks high
in Little's guard corps. Home, who hails
from Albany, N.Y., stands an even six feet
and weighs in at 165. Milton's main assets
are his ability to get the ball down against
the press and to penetrate the defense when
he gets there. Furthermore, he's a good pas-
ser off the drive and a fair outside shooter,"
says Little. This year the Gents will be
expecting a little more out of the Roadrunner
--first, because he has a year of experience
in the Centenary program and second, because
he will be eligible for the entire season
rather than only the second half (as was the
case last season) . And Little also points
out that Milton has worked a "great deal hard-
er" in preparation for this season than he
did for last.

The third man the coach mentions when
outlining his guard necleus is six-foot
junior David Deets . From Collinsville , 111.,
Deets appeared in 19 of the Gents ' 25 games
last season. "Dave played close to half of
every game for the last half of the season
last year," points out Little, "and he's the
best shooting guard of the three (Deets,.
Home, RussellJ. He doesn't have the quick-
ness on the first step that either Melvin or
Roadrunner have, but he can score off the
drive real well."

The rest of the eight prospects are
seniors Bennie DePrang (5-10, 175, Haughton,
La.) and Wynn Fontenot (6-2, 170, Lafayette,
La.), and sophomores Rick Jacobs (6-4, 180,
Mendota, 111.), Stan Welker (6-1, 160, Okla-
homa City, Okla.) and Dale Kinkelaar (6-3,
180, Effingham, 111.). Little by no means
has counted any of these men out. "We need
to go in with four or perhaps five good
guards. And," he emphasizes, "some of the
best shooting guards are left in that
group- -Welker, Jacobs, Kinkelaar, Fontenot.
This groups needs to mainly work on ball-
handling and agressiveness , and some of
that will come with experience."

SYSTEMS & NUMBERS

With all these guards, though, no more
than two will be on the floor at the same
time. "Whether we use a one-guard system
or a two-guard system will depend not only
on how our guards are playing, but also
largely in how our forwards play up to
their potential . "

How T s the outlook for the running game?
"Extremely good," Little replies without hes-
itation. "Overall we can put out a group with
excellent team speed. With say, Melvin and
Roadrunner, we ought to be able, to really
wear some people down. And, according to the
personnel of the opponents, we will be able
to employ a pressing defense."

Little also thinks that the fans may see
some new faces this season at the guard spot
--in particular a couple of the sophomore
players. "Welker and Jacobs--one or both of.
them- -could help us a lot, provided they
experience normal improvement. Either can
come in and hit four or five straight, and
will probably be counted on to do just
that at some time."

The overall rating. of the guard spot?
Little thinks a minute, and gives the fol-
lowing assessment: "Our top three guards
will be as good as anybody we play at that
position. They combine excellent ball-
handling ability, experience, and leader-
ship potential with adequate shooting and
defensive ability. The only possible weak-
ness will be depth at the fourth or fifth
man- -the man that it'll take to win some
games. And we can't afford any injuries at
this position."

The Navy Makes it Rain
In Southern California

oy Eric Mankin

Santa Barbara, Calif. (AFS) —
The weather of an entire Southern
California county is being used
as a guinea pig to test Navy rain-
making devices, despite an attemp-
ted U. S. Senate ban on metero-
logical warfare.

Working under a contract with
the U. S. Naval Weapons Center at
China Lake, Calif., a company
called NQrth American Weather
Consultants has been carrying out
tests of ''precipitation modifica-
tion devices'* in Santa Barbara
County for at least four years
tests which they plan to continue
this winter.

The tests involve the dis-
persal of the chemical silver
iodide from "fusees" which burn
sending the silver compound in
the fonn of finely dispersed
smoke particles into selected
cloud formations. The silver
provides nuclei around which
raindrops condense. According to
a North American spokesman, un-
der appropriate conditions use of
the fusees increases rainfall by
some SO per cent .

No control over the project
is exercised by the residents of
Santa Barbara County, a resort
area which has suffered over $20
million in flood damages over the
past three years. The only civi-
lian regulation of the project
currently in force is that* imposed
by the California Department of
Water Resources, which issues
licenses for rainmaking attempts
in the state.

Under California law, licen-
sees must publish a "notice of
intention" prior to beginning rain-
making operations and file a re-
port on operations immediate-
ly after rainmaking attempts are

concluded. However, state law
contains no provision for public
hearings or other means by which
citizens might express their re-
actions to proposed rainmaking
projects. "If someone objected,"
a state official said, "they
would have to file a suit. The
state does not have any set pro-
cedure."

who is directing the Navy project
for North American, the Santa Bar-

Classes Halted
In School Crisis

BATON ROUGE — Students took over
and occupied the administration
building at the Southern University
campus here late Wednesday .

Southern administrators made what
the students said was an unaccept-
able response to a list of griev-
ances they had presented.

The students had complained to
Netterville about inadequate fa-
cilities and the loss of several
faculty members in recent months,
and had called for the resignation
of Netterville and key members of
his administration.

Early this week, security po-
lice turned back between one and
two thousand studetns who marched
on the Administration Building.
In a statement, Netterville said,
"On Tuesday morning, students at-
tempted a seige of the administra-
tion building and the physical
removal of administrative officers
from the campus. Faculty members
were warned to leave the campus
by noon or suffer bodily harm.
In view of the extent of the dis-
ruption and the seriousness of
the situation, there remains jio
choice but to close the universi-
ty as of noon Tuesday for an in-
definite period."

High School Day

Centenary students will have
a chance to demonstrate their
commendable courtesy to visitors
this weekend as about 200 high
sdiool students visit the campus
for Centenary's annual High
Sdiool day.

The students, who come pri-
marily from the region surround-
ing Shreveport, will be treated
to, besides Gent hospitality,
games and ice cream in flaynes
Gym, football and a tug -o 1 -war
on Hardin Field, plus a campus
picnic in Crumley Gardens fol-
lowed by another famous f notori-
ous) Centenary All -Campus Revue,
concluding with a concert by
folk -pop singer John D. Louder -
milk.

According to the Admissions
Office, an average of approx-
imately 75°6 of the students who
visit Centenary during this
annual event eventually enroll.

BATON ROUGE- -Classes were can-
celled this week at the predomi-
nately black Southern University
here after militant students
marched on the administration
building demanding the resig-
nation of university president
Leon Netterville, a veteran
black educator.

Activating 500 National Guards-
men for the crisis Tuesday, Gov-
ernor Edwin Edwards said the
school would be closed until Mon-
day, and promised to maintain or-
der and security in the meantime.

The closing followed more than
a week of demonstrations by stu-
dents who claimed that they are
fed and housed poorly and have a
weak voice in sdiool life.

estimated 1000 studetns involved
in a five -mile mardi and rally at

Senate Calls for
Mardi Gras Holiday

By Carol Bickers

At its Tuesday meeting the Senate un-
animously approved the proposal calling for
a Mardi Gras holiday.

The proposal- -written by Dr. Wilfred
Guerin, Dr. Rosemary Seidler, and Freshman
Senator Joey Lacoste- -called for a three-
day Mardi Gras holiday next semester on
March 5-7. In the proposal it was noted
that such a holiday would not only encourage
Centenary students to participate in a sig-
nificant cultural event but it would also
aid in recruitment.

Furthermore, the committee made the fol-
lowing suggestions to the Senate concerning
the proposed Mardi Gras motion:

1) The holiday should be experimental.
If there is a lack of participation,
it should be dropped.

2) Special festivities should be ar-
ranged for those students who remain
on campus .

3) The Senate should sponsor buses to
New Orleans.

4) Three days could be deleted from the
spring break in order to secure a
Mardi Gras holiday.

5) The Senate could make arrangements to
accomodate Students at Dillard Univer-
sity in New Orleans.

If this Mardi Gras proposal is not ap-
proved, the committee suggested that the
Senate petition for a holiday in 1974. At
this point Senate adviser Mr. W.P. Garvin
pointed out that the Senate might be more
successful in its bid for a holiday if it
opted for a two-day break instead of three
days. His suggestion was accepted in the
final motion.

In a series of brief announcements Presi-
dent Rick Clark noted that he would be work-
ing with the manager of the new Sheraton Inn
in Bossier to perhaps secure one their ban-
quet rooms for a future dance. It was
pointed out at Tuesday's meeting that the
response to on-campus dances is very poor.

Clark also announced that the Centenary
Tennis Association will be holding a train-
ing session for beginning and intermediate
players tomorrow at 10:00 am on the Hardin
Courts .

Jeff Hendricks, Sophomore Senator, an-
nounced that Mr. Anthony Burgess will be
in James Lobby following tonight's forum
for an informal discussion.

Local Woodwind Quintet
Will Perform Sunday

At 3:00 pm, on Sunday, November the 5th,
the Church of the Holy Cross (Episcopal) and
the Shreveport Symphony will present the
Shreveport Woodwind Quintet as guest artists
in a recital .

There will be six selections in the pro-
gram, ranging from Trois Pieces Breves by
Ibert all the way to Three Shanties by
Mai com Arnold.

The concert is open to the public, in-
cluding non- Episcopalians , and there is no
admissions charge. For details, call The
Very Reverend Kenneth W. Paul at 822-5325.
The Church of the Holy Cross is located at
Texas Avenue and 875 Cotton Street.

Interim in Kurope

There will be' a final organizational
meeting on Wednesday, November 8, at 9:40 am
in LB08 for all those who would like to
join a tour group to England and other parts
of Europe during the January Interim and
obtain credit for either English 199 or His-
tory and Government 199.

The group will spend the first week in
London and then split up, with Dr. Viva
Rainey taking one part on a bus tour of
Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. The entire
cost for the three weeks, including air
fare, will be about $650. Dr. Fergal Gal-
lagher will take a group on a literary-
tour of England; or, if enough people are
interested, on a tour of European capitals,
perhaps spending a week each in London,
Paris, and Rome. The cost of the tour of
England will be about $650, while the expand-
ed Continental tour would cost about $850.

A study released by The Tax Foundation,
Inc., reveals that, while less than \% of
persons earning over $200,000 a year paid no
Federal Income Tax last year, nearly 30% of
those earning under $10,000 paid no such tax.

Alpha Xi's can take pride in one of their
own. Ms. Zelma Patchin, Associate Dean of
Student Affairs at Oklahoma State University,
will be chairman of the 1973 Maid Of Cotton
judging committee. The contest selects the
cotton industry's goodwill representative
and will be held in late December. Right
on, Alpha Xi's!

The Charles Darwin Research Institute lias
announced that next year they will launch
a 90 -day research expedition to the Galapagos
Islands. They want students for the trip, and
offer credit. Write 3001 Red Hill, Costa
Mesa, Calif. 92626. It was, as you may (or
may not) recall, Darwin's sojourn among the
Galapagos aboard the H.M.S. Beagle (during,
of course, the dog days) that was primarily
responsible for the young researcher's formu-
lation of his theories on evolution and
natural selection — theories he later re-
canted.

A few weeks ago, the CONGLOMERATE ran an
article about the newly -proclaimed Republic
of Minerva. As usual, we were in the fore-
front; it took Newsweek until last week to
get around to it. The situation at present
is precarious: while the Minervans are
changing over from their Provisional Govern-
ment to their permanent system, the Tongan
Islands are pressing their claim to the atolls
Meanwhile, CONGLOMERATE News Editor Jeff
Daiell, who last week burned his voter regis-
tration card and returned the ashes to his
superintendent of elections , has made formal

application for entry into the Republic.
****

Students are reminded to register for
Interim Courses as soon as possible. Any
classes with an insufficient number of stu-
dents will be cancelled on Nov. 22. Regis-
tration forms and Interim schedules may be
picked-up in the Registrar's Office. They
must be signed by the Instructor of the
course and returned to the Registrar's
Office.

Mr. Garvin adds one more item about
the Louisiana Senate race. According to
Mr. G., 1) people who tend to vote "no
matter what" are those in high -income,
high-status positions; 2) these are
usually Republicans, but 3) in Louis-
iana, they tend to be Establishment
Democrats; 4) these are the most like-
ly to support Bennett Johnston; 5) thus,
the worse the weather, the better will
be Johnston's chances.

Bells lo Ring during Tuesday Performance

One thing Centenary needs more of is
Southern bells. Therefore, it is to be the
cause of great rejoicing come Tuesday night,
November 7th (when some people will be home,
agonizing over the election returns --no mat-
ter who wins) when the First United Methodist
Church's El Dorado (Arkansas) Bell Choir gives
a thirty minute performance in the chapel.
Following that, there will be what is known
in the trade as a "free period."

The main Methodists to this madness are
Mr. and Mrs. Gordon and Helen Betenbaugh,
the last of which serves on the Council of
National Handbell Ringers in America.

The show, which begins at 6 p.m., is free.

The bells together have a range of 3-4
octaves. The Choir consists of 12 people,
each assigned 4 bells.

The show is being sponsored by the Centen-
ary student chapter of the American Guild of
Organists .

There can be no denying that a show of this
sort has a peal. My hunch is that you'll like
it, so come on out just for the bell of it,
and, if you don't like it, I'll take my hunch

back.

Centenary Students
Volunteer For Work

While there is a lot of talk these days
among young people about "getting involved"
few take the time to actually do so. But
' when Centenary College students decided to
do something worthwhile, the Community Act-
ion Agency was the winner.

-Approximately fifty students signed up
to do volunteer work, primarily in the
Wilkinson Terrace area. Some are sociology
majors studying under Dr. Ferrell Pledger,
while others are in education classes of
Dr. Joe Garner and Dr. Theodore Knauss.
And others are simply students who wanted
to do something meaningful.

Thanks to the manpower supplied by the
volunteers, the program at Wilkinson Ter-
race has been expanded to include day care,
tutoring, recreation, Friday night movies
for residents of the community, visitation
for the elderly, and consumer education.

The Zeta Tau Alpha sorority actives have
taken on a special tutoring project, and
the pledges are hosting a recreation pro-
gram for the youngsters. Community involve-
ment is an education in itself, for anyone
...volunteer or participant.

Satori Benefit Sel

Satori House, the crisis center and re-
ferral service, proudly announces its "Post-
Halloween, Pre -Thanksgiving, Leaning on
Christmas Benefit Rock Concert." And that's
the truth.

The house, of course, besides being a
24-hour call-up service, is also a walk-in
center, located at 1029 Dalzell.

The concert, according to Satori re-
presentatives, will be "featuring many local
groups and - single artists." It will cost a
minimal donation of 97i at the door with
more, of course, appreciated. The donations
will be used- entirely for the operation and
maintenace of Satori House.

It's set for November 10th (Friday) at
8 pm, to be held in Centenary's own Haynes
Gym. No concluding hour was given.

Satori House tries to co-ordinate exist-
ing services, legal, medical, welfare, and
many others. Right now they are consider-
ing commencing operation of a free store.
Since Satori is supported completely by
private donations, and since it costs about
$225 a month to run Satori House, and since
the center is very much in debt, they at-
tempt to raise money by means of concerts ,
basketball games, baseball games, and the
like.

Back in the USSR

"Greetings, tovarisch!"

If you've never heard that exclamation
before, now's your chance. Centenary Col-
lege is offering standard Interim credit for
students participating in Southern Methodist
University's Inter-Term in the Soviet Union.

During this three-week visit to \he main
political and cultural centers of the Union
of Soviet Socialist Republics, such as Mos-
cow, Kiev, and Leningrad (among others),
the student will gain exposure to Russian/
Soviet language, theatre, architecture ,
historical monuments, and art -- and also
such facets of Soviet life as living con-
ditions, education, women's rights, the
family, urbanization and many others.

It all starts December 28, when the class
leaves Dallas for London. Arrival in Russia
is scheduled for the 30th, and on the 18th
students will return to Dallas.

There is, by the way, a nominal cost of
l,lt>0 dollars, plus incidentals such as visa
fees, airport taxes, and other items.

It is naturally to be hoped that every stu
dent participating in this course will be
both personally and educationally enriched.

Kellogg Foundation Grant At Mid Stream

by Nancy Millerton

The Library has reached the half-way point
in the spending of the $5,000 Kellogg Founda-
tion Grant awarded to Centenary College last
year for the purchase of library materials
related to the study of the environment. Many
of the Kellogg books, which are marked with
a special Kellogg Foundation gift plate, are
already catalogued and are receiving heavy
use from students and faculty engaged in
reading and research projects related to the
environment. The Kellogg Library Grant Com-
mittee and the library staff have been re-
sponsible for the selection of books to be
purchased with the Kellogg funds. Many of
the selections have been purchased on re-
quests and suggestions submitted by students
and members of the faculty.

A special book jacket display at the Lib-
rary illustrates the variety of the Kellogg
selections. The range of topics includes
conservation, pollution, rural and urban
planning, man in society, and of course a

variety of books designed to encourage the
enjoyment of nature. There are at least some
titles that are of direct interest to nearly
every department on campus. The emphasis
of the selections is to some extent on the
environment in Louisiana and the South, but
over half the selections deal with the
United States as a whole, and many titles
cover environmental problems in the oceans
and the more distant corners of the globe.

The Library anticipates that the Kellogg
Grant, which is to be used over a three year
period, will enable the library to add 700
to 800 new envirnoment books to the collect-
ion. Whatever part Centenary and its faculty
and students eventually have in helping solve
the environment problems that face the nation
and the world, the Kellogg Foundation will
deserve much of the credit for providing the
library materials that help inspire and do
indeed support these desired achievements.

MAN THINKS

To the Editor:

I am afraid that millions upon millions of
people in this world do not realize that man
is fundamentally different from all other
living organisms . This difference is that
man and man alone can think, man is the only
reasoning animal. A human being's reason is
his only means of survival, and to reject
reason is to die. As I said, millions of
people do not realize this, case in point:
Dr. Pomeroy's letter in last week's CON-
GLOMERATE .

In his letter, Dr. Pomeroy failed to
define evil. ("We may play around with it,
but find no meaningful answer.") I want to
start with the definition of good and evil.
Good is that which tends to sustain life and
evil is that which tends to harm life. Good
and evil do not exist for non-living matter.
A stone has no good or evil. Different
organisms react to good and evil differently.
A plant has no consciousness, thus has no
choice in its actions --it must act to further
its life. Animals have a primitive form of
consciousness, so they may make choices as
to what is good and what is evil, but these
choices are guided by instincts. Man is the
only organism that posesses a full conscious-
ness. A man has no automatic system to tell
him what is good and what is evil, a man
must reason, he must use his mind, he must
think .

Man has no fangs, clawa, protective color-
ation, or other equipment for survival. Man's
only means of survival is reason. Any man who
lives by "instinct", "intuition", "gut feel-
ing", "faith", or anything less than full,
conscious, objective reason, is living, not
as a man, but as a sub-human animal. Dr. Pom-
eroy's letter insults anyone who functions as
a rational human being, in that his concept
of god is degrading to man. The concept puts
man as an inferior being who can only worship
a higher ideal that he may never attain If
any ideal is worth dreaming of, it is worth
trying to achieve. So the concept of god is
not only irrational and illogical, but it is

also morally evil.

Since the dawning of man, ethics (identi-
fication of good and evil) has been dominated
by the mystics of religion. We must remove
this monopoly from the hands of the irration-
al and emotion ridden sub -humans and place
it where it belongs, in the hands of respon-
sible and rational men.

Respectfully,
Larry Wright

EXAMINE THE FACTS

To the Editor:

In- answer to an article on "Love Story"
in one of the previous issues I felt there
must be a reply made. So I felt the truth
would be the best reply. Because of the.
ridiculous statements made in the article
I intend to relay the true meaning of God
and what He did through Jesus Christ and
destroy any content of the previous article.

First, Christianity is based on histori-
cal fact. Not philosophy! The author of
the Love Story letter stated that he didn't
feel there could be a God because of the
problems in the world today. The reason for
the problems is because man is trying to run
his own life instead of letting God run it.
In the same way Oliver and Jennifer ignored
God. You notice that in the story they were
both negative on God. Well no wonder they
had problems. And this is the reason that
so many people have problems today. They
aren't trusting God with them. You may
think that the last sentence is strange.
Well you ought to try it sometime. The
rebellion from God is called sin.

And all this is, is just spiritual se-
paration from God. O.K. man is sinful.
Everyone knows this. But this brings up the
most fantastic concept we have today. God
could have let us perish in our own sin
because He said "for the wages of sin is
death" in Romans 6:23. Now here comes the
greatest love concept if you want to call it
a concept. I generally call it an act. For
God showed His own love for us in that while
we were yet sinners Christ died for us- (Ro-
mans 5:8) .

You might say, well who is Jesus Christ?
Good question. Jesus Christ is the Son of
God and the Savior of thw world. You then
might ask for what ridiculous reasons would
I say something like this? But I say exam-
ine the facts. And then ask yourself this
question. Could Jesus really be who He
said He was? And then make a conclusion.
It could mean the difference in your life.
I know it did in mine.

Tracy Howard

SUBSTANCELESS FRIVOLITY

To the Editor:

In the begining was the Mind, and the
Mind was with Man, and the Mind was Man.
The same was in the beginning with Man.
All things were made by it; and without it
was not anything made that was made. In
it was life; and the life was the light
of men. And the light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comphrehended it not.

— the real "Good News"

I have read and reread Dr. Pomeroy's
letter of last week (CONGLOMERATE, Oct.
27), searching for a glimpse, glimmer,
or glint of logic, reason, or rationality.
Finding only, however, a Webb of substance-
less frivolity (frivolous insubstance?) , I
resigned myself to the potentially frus-
trating task of answering nothing with
something. I proceed:

The creation story (assuming Dr. Pome-
roy meant the Judeo-Christian creation
story, and not the Buddhist creation
story, the Hindu creation story, the
Olympian creation story, the Zoroastrian
creation story, etc., etc.) does not say
that Man is responsible for evil, merely
that Man acted in such a way as to anger
God, who then opened the proverbial flood-
gates. Adam and Eve committed one count
it one misdeed; it was our friend The Lord
who done did the rest.

Job's wife was in no way denied God; the
good Doctor's extrapolation of that theory
is remarkable at best and mind-boggling
otherwise. Rather, Job's wife was affirm-
ing not only her belief in God, but also
her faith in his potency. She urged friend
Job to curse God and die believing that the
cursing of God would so anger His Amazing
Graceship as to cause him to strike Job
dead.

Dr. Pomeroy then goes on to pontificate

November 3, 1972

THE CONGLOMERATE

MoreDalell

that there is no answer to the source of
evil --but that Christians must respond to it.
This is the remark of limited resources; it
is far more efficacious to drain swamps than
to swat flies. And what is the good Doctor's
formula? Faith! In an abdication degrading
to the very concept of Humanity and virtually
spitting upon both Man's heritage and His
potential, Dr. Pomeroy completely abandons
any meaningful struggle, and nonchalantly
discards Man's primary weapon, the mind.

I say yes_, that there is_ a rational answer
to the existence of evil, if only human be-
ings will have the courage and the fortitude
and the intelligence to seek it.

Marathon sponsored by the Glory Youth Organ-
ization for Retarded Children. The marathon
starts at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 4, from
the State Fair Grounds. All money made will
go to the sponsoring organization.

The ZTA pledge class is still doing volun-
teer recreational service for Wilkinson Ter-
race Neigliboorhood Center. They are supervis-
ing elementary school children from low in-
come families on Wedne lay and Thursday after-
noons. If anyone has any suggestions for
games involving a large group of young child-
ren, any Zeta pledge will be pleased to
listen.

At their Monday nt^Uihg the ZTA actives
were kidnapped by the pledges and taken to
Karon Stephenson's home in Shreveport. Brac-
ing themselves for fates unknown, the actives
were surprised with a Halloween party. Every-
one enjoyed goodies , games , and Halloween
carols. Congratulations go to Leslie Goens
and Jan Conlin as game winners. Also, as a
result of the party, anyone should be able
to ask a ZTA active to sing "Deck the Patch
With Orange and Black" and get some sort of
quick response!

November 3, 1972-4

Navy Makes Rai n

From Page One

bara tests have "no military applications, as
such." Giina Lake Naval Weapons Center "just
happens to be where this research is done.
If you're thinking in terns of military appli-
cations, there are none as far as I know."

Senator Claiborne Pell of Rhode Island has
charged, however, that U. S. forces in Indo-
china are engaged in rainmaking over Vietnam,
both to clear target areas of clouds for later
bombing and also- -it is charged- -to flood areas,
in combination with bombing and weakening
of the North Vietnamese dike system. Asked
about this by a reporter from the Santa
Barbara News and Review , Thompson replied
"if you estimate the amount of damage done
by impeding someone's transportation (by
flooding) as opposed to blowing them up, or
burning them up, I don't think it's so immoral."

Thompson emphasized that the work carried
on in Santa Barbara was all unclassified, and
went on to stress the peaceful uses of rain-
making technology in hurricane control and ag-
riculture .

The project director denied that there
was any connection between Navy- financed
rainmaking activities and the disastrous
Santa Barbara floods of 1969 and 1971. In
1968, he acknowledged, cloud seeding opera-
tions were carried on in the months before
the January, 1969 overflow, "but when it be-
came apparent that there would be problems,
we ceased operations. The watershed was
completely saturated; the one thing the area
didn't need was more rain."

According to Thompson, the silver iodide
rainmaking method has its effects within
only a few hours of dispersal of the chemical ,
and leaves no residue in the environment.

Weather control apparently remains a part
of the U. S. arsenal in Asia, despite Senate
protest. A recent news item in the armed
forces publication Stars and Stripes mentioned
that planes based at Kurat Air Force Base,
Thailand, were engaged in a variety of
missions, "including cioudseeding. "

Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin recent-
ly attempted to write into this year's mili-
tary procurement authorization a provision
against "the dissemination of equipment or
instructions, or the procuring of agents for
starting firestorms, or using weather modifi-
cation as a weapon of war."

The Nelson provisions were eliminated in
conference with the House of Representatives
when the House conferees objected that "time
was not available to gather information to
evaluate the effects such an amendment might
have on Department of Defense operations"- -
an objection some legislative observers
took as an indication that rainmaking remains
part of the American arsenal in Asia.

Researchers contacted at China Lake were
unable either to confirm or deny that the
devices being tested in Santa Barbara were
the same as those used over Indochina. They
acknowledged, however, that devices designed
at China Lake were in use in military opera-
tions in Okinawa, the Philippines, and Alaska.

In addition to China Lake, research on
rainmaking is also reportedly in progress at
at least two other locations: East St. Louis,
where the Air Force operates a center at Scott
Field; and the Environmental Technology
Applications Center, in Suitland, Maryland.
It is therefore at least possible that Santa
Barbara County is not a testing ground for
weapons for Vietnam. But whatever is happen-
ing, it is clear that the citizens of Santa
Barbara have little say in it.

In the midst of Faulknerian criticism
and paracentric chromosomal inversions, a

ANALYSIS by MM

The mind wanders as one ponders the com-
plexities of this Presidential election.
Ponder wander wander ponder wander ponder
ponder wander. The kaliedoscope accelerates.
Boxes become distorted. Indeed,
The Rivers themselves speak:
"One and seven,
Two and three.
Go to heaven;
1 like me."

(Filth oozes from the scoundrel's lamp.
The warm, yet cold, knee of Liberty blazes
Forth from the herald's trumpet

Yes.)

Dr. X

There are many complicating factors in this
Presidential election. Factors factors fac-
tors factors factors factors factors factors.
A multivariate Pearson product -moment fac-
torial correlation coefficient matrix by Mr
Dulle's statistics class reveals three factors
which should be critical in determining the
Nov. 7th outcome:

1) The resettled eastern Anglo- Luxembourg i an
migrant farmer bloc.

2) The 34-year-old bloc.

3) The dead vote.

The first two are obviously self-explanatory
Obviously. The third, however, may need ela-

boration. Therefore, out of creative laziness
and respect for an excellent analysis, I
wish to share with you some golden-gilded
goodies from "The Underground Electorate,"
written by Don Akchin, that insightful poli-
tical researcher for LSU's The Daily Reveille

(Vol. 77, No. 33, Oct. 27, iy / 2) : "

"In past elections the dead have decided
many an outcome by voting in a bloc for a
major party candidate. In 1960, for example,
Jolin Kennedy could not have won the Presi-
dency without the strong showing of the dead

voters of Chicago, who turned out at the polls
en masse . . . .

"For too long, the dead have been the most
ignored, downtrodden segment of American so-
ciety The dead are the true silent majority.

"It is time for America to recognize the

rights of the embalmed They are still

residents of this country and their roots
are deeply implanted. They have enriched
both our heritage and our soil. These exem-
plary citizens do not pollute, neither do
they consume. Is it too big a sacrifice to
grant these model Americans, these stal-
warts ot democracy, a voice in determining
the destiny of the land of which they have
come to feel an integral part?...

"If politicians lack the courage to stand
up for the rights of the embalmed, perhaps
the fear of a Dead Power movement will
inspire them to be responsive to the under-
ground electorate. Let every cemetery i n
the nation reverberate with the anguished
rhetoric of candidates actively courting
this new constituency.

'Together with our forefathers, let us
resurrect the American spirit."

3. POLITICAL PROPAGANDA by JG

NOTE: unbeknownst to Party officials, the
following memo was seized at Gaterwate Repub-
lican Headquarters by democratic "offensive
security" agents (in other words, spies).
Out of creative laziness and respect for an
excellent seizure, I wish to share with you
some golden-gilded goodies from 'To Concerned
Americans":

Our country confronts grave danger at this
moment in history. The trouble is two-faced:
the election and the War. From a most care-
ful consideration of all arguments from all
points -of -view, a Plan has been forged which
simultaneously overcomes both dimensions.

In spite of its undesirable consequences,
not to mention motives, an election appears*
eminent. The choice is so logically clear-
cut as to be ridiculous: the President must
be re-elected (partially in the hope that
elections- -such worrisome affairs .'- -will be
prevented in the future). Rationality can
hardly be used against His Opponent; it is
in vain. Therefore ,* the President must

return to the White House at all costs!
But how? given the quite incomprehensible,
if undeniable, rise in popularity of His
Enemy.

The problem caused by the War is that it
is disturbing to the sentimental masses
(how they are to be pitied!) who seem to feel
that War is evil. The correct conclusion,
on the contrary, is more than obvious: War
exists for the good of the State, for if
there were universal peace, why! what on
earth would we do?

Unnaturally knowledgeable of the above-
mentioned fact as well as the above-mentioned
misconception, the President's ingenuity is
at this point demonstrable. Expediency,
indeed, will dictate a gesture toward the
settlement of the War, secure in the belief
that the voters shall be snowed into choosing
such a Peace-Maker. The President's Plan,
then, is to spread the rumor that He is
ending the War. Thus, His re-election is
assured. Subtle, huh? It goes without
saying that after the election, the War
must continue.

Re-elect the President!

Grow Your Own
In California

by Dennis Briskin

San Francisco, Ca. (AFS) - - California is
shortly to become the first state to vote
on marijuana.

During the Nov. 7 election, the state's
voters will be asked to decide on a proposal
to remove criminal penalties for anyone 18
or older for "planting, cultivating, har-
vesting, drying, processing, otherwise pre-
paring, transporting, or possessing mari-
juana for personal use." The measure also
prohibits "persons under the influence of
marijuana from engaging in conduct that
endangers others." Selling would remain
illegal .

That's it. Otherwise, you'll be able to
grow your own in California.

If it passes. An early -September poll
showed only 33 per cei\t support for the
California Marijuana Initiative (CMI) . There
is strong support for the measure in northern
California, particularly in the San Francisco
Bay Area, but half the state's 20 million
population is concentrated in highly conser-
vative Los Angeles, San Diego and Orange
Counties .

CMI's organizers, a loose collection of
lawyers, doctors, drug experts and other
volunteers, think the outcome is still un-
certain.

Gordon Brownell, the Initiative's political
co-ordinator, believes the polls don't ac-
curately represent popular opinion on mari-
juana. "A lot of people who will vote for
the measure don't want to say so to inter-
viewers," he says. CMI is counting on the
so-far-unrevealed support they're sure is
out there.

Win or lose, the Marijuana Initiative has
already made an impressive showing. In four
months its 20,000 volunteers collected 380,000
valid signatures, 50,000 more than the mini-
mum meeded to put the measure on the ballot.

Oil has also gained endorsements from a
wide variety of organizations, including the
California and San Francisco Bar Associations,
the Democratic Central Committees of Los
Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento, the
ACLU, the San Francisco Deputy Sheriffs'
Coalition and the San Francisco Police
officers for Justice.

All of this was done with very little
money. Of the estimated $40,000 spent to
get the measure on the ballot, most came from
small contributions. The largest single
source of funds, approximately $15,000, has
been Amorphia, a non-profit co-operative work-
ing for reform of marijuana laws.

. Amorphia raises its money by selling
cigarette papers under the brand name "Aca-
pulco Gold." The papers are distributed
nationally and billed as "the only papers
made from pure hemp fiber from marijuana
stalks." In the year ending May 1, Amorphia
had gross sales of $100,000 from the papers.

Amorphia 's activities have not been limit-
ed to California. It was active in the unsuc-
cessful efforts to qualify marijuana reform
initiatives in Washington, Oregon, Arizona

LEGALIZE

re?

and Michigan.

Michael Aldrich, Amorphia 's co-director
and editor of The Marijuana Review , believes
what is happening now in California will have
tremendous impact on the rest of the country.

"Twenty states now have the initiative
as a means for changing the law," he says.
"Marijuana could be on the ballot in ten or
12 of. them in the next few years. And the
issue has wider appeal than most people think.

Oil's Brownell echoes Aldrich f s thoughts.
"Even if we don't win, it will still be a
victory. We took a so-called 'freak issue',
(smoking pot), and legitimized it. We put it
before the public and won endorsements. If
we don't mate it this year, it will be an
issue again in '74. It will come of age
eventually."

As California goes ?

Editor's Note: In next week's CONGLOM-
ERATE, Shreveport attorney Wellborn Jack, Jr.,
will discuss local applications of marijuana
laws .

jethro Tull Enthralls
Baton Rouge

Audience

by David Lawrence and
Jim Hobbs

In their first American tour in over a
year, the brilliantly innovative British
rock group Jethro Tull enthralled an audi-
ence of over 12,000 in the near -packed LSU
Assembly Center in Baton Rouge. Combining
showmanship with musical talent, the group
led by the bizarre Ian Anderson offered the
appreciative audience a barrage of contin-
uous music with a variety of special effects,
including a giant rabbit, a huge gorilla,
and a chaotic strobe- lit scene. Musical
effects included a highly effective use of
audio processing to produce an exaggerated
single -repeat /delay effect and occasional
"synthesizing" of the entire group's sound
rather than a single instrument.

Jethro Tull, unlike many other rock
groups, successfully brings the high quality
of their recordings to the concert stage.
The listener can hear flutist Anderson's
classical influences in the slower, intro-
spective passages as opposed to the effect
of modern jazz on the brash, up-tempo
sections .

The niulti -talented group opened its per-
formance with an unusual lack of fanfare as
Anderson began the first number, lasting a
full hour. Quietly strumming his guitar
Anderson started a medly which included the
entirety of 'Thick as a Brick" featuring an
extraordinary flute solo and other numbers
unrecognized by our staff of Jethro Tull
experts .

Where one normally turns the record over,
bass player Jeffey Hammond -Hammond inserted
a short newscast complete with weather re-
port and news flash (a powder charge) .

The second number began with "Cross Eyed
Man-" and contained parts of several other
songs ending with "Locomotive Breath." It
included a lengthy drum solo in which drum-
mer Clive Buncher showed his virtuosity by
performing difficult superimposed rhythms.

Few groups give 2 hour concerts , and
fewer two hour concerts contain only two
songs. Still the audience demanded an
encore which consisted mostly of new songs -
some from their new album, "Living in The
Past". After thirty minutes Tull ended with
what Anderson terms his concert closer: a
message, "wind up."

Anderson, performing with the handi-
cap of fever of over 100°, believes that
if one person who has previously heard his
group leaves the concert dissatisfied he
has failed as a performer. Anderson's
high temperature notwithstanding, Jethro
Tull poured forth with a very satisfying
display of talent and energy. It is
our belief that his artistic goal was
realized.

Batman has his Batmobile, but torn Louisiana State Police Aren't far behind, as
the wonders of technology come to tvtn the guardians of the Pelican State.

Slow Time on a Fast Trip

Imagine the explorer twins, Speedy and
Poke .

At thirty yars of age, Speedy leaves in
a rocket ship to explore the galaxy. Poke
stays behind and pokes around old caves on
earth .

After a spell of fifty years by earth,
Speedy returns. By this time, 80 year-year-
old Poke is too feeble to be spelunking and
is usually to be found in a rocker in front
of his fireplace, reminiscing about the old
days. But Speedy, because his rocket ship
has been moving much faster through the ga-
laxy than the earth, has aged only about
five years. And in fact all the clocks
and calendars in his rocket say that only
five years have elapsed since he left earth! .
First thing he does is go visit his brother,
and after seeing him in his rocking chair im-
mediately volunteers for another, perhaps we
should say, space/time trip.

This fantasy is possible because of
Einstein's relativity theory, which says that
the faster a clock moves the slower it keeps
time — as velocity increases time slows down.
Some physicists see this as a paradox because
relativity theory also says that all veloci-
ties are relative except the velocity of
light, so that for instance in the twin fan-
tasy, no one can say which twin is moving
faster.

We could consider the twin in the rocket
to be at rest and everything in the universe,
including his stay-at-home brother, moving.
In this case it would seem that it's the
stay-at-home's clock that is moving faster
and should therefore be losing time! This
conundrum is called the clock (or twin)
paradox .

It is true that if the twins communicate
with each other by radio, since the radio
signals take time to get from one twin to
the other, each twin will regard the other as
being behind the "correct" time. Each twin
thinks of his 'own time as "correct" and the
signaled time as out of date. However
there needn't be a paradox at all. We can
take a point of view in which both clocks
are moving relative to some frame of refer-
ence (called an inert ial frame.) Then we
can ask unambiguously which clock is mov-
ing faster through the frame. In our
story of the twins , the inertial frame would
be the whole galaxy. And from the point of
view of the whole galaxy it is clear that
Speedy in his rocket is going much faster than
Poke on earth- -even though the sun is drag-

ging the earth through the galaxy at the re-
spectable rate of some 35 miles per second.

Many people are not convinced by this kind
of analysis. They demand experimental evi-
dence- -and just such evidence was reported
by J.C. Hafele and Richard E. Keating in
Science (July 14, 1972.) Clocks were flown,
not around the galaxy but around the earth,
and lo-and-behold they were found to differ
from a reference clock on the ground by
just the amount predicted by relativity theory

for clocks flying at jetplane speeds, the
time difference is measured in billionths of
a second (nanoseconds) , so the clocks have to
be extremely accurate. Cesium clocks fit the
bill; their accuracy is based on the fact
that atoms of the cesium isotope 133 can be
made to vibrate at a rate of 9,197,631,770
cycles per second. (In fact, the standard
second is defined as 9,192,631,770 cycles of
a certain energy change in cesium 133.)

Four cesium clocks were flown from
Washington, D. C. in an eastward round-the-
world trip, and then in a westward round-
the-world trip. At the beginnings and ends
of these trips the clocks were compared with
the Standard cesium clock in Washington.

Relativity theory predicts that the east-
bound clocks will lose time and the west-
bound clocks will gain- -with respect to the
reference clock on the ground. (This has
nothing to do with the usual time zone
changes in which you set your clock back or
forward by hours to maintain arbitrary time
standards .)

To understand the re 1 at i vis tic time changes
you have to take as your point of view an in-
ertial frame in which both the clock on the
ground and the clocks in the jet are moving.
A convenient viewing -stand is a point high
above the North Pole. The earth's rotation
from west to east will move the Washington-
based clock several hundred miles per hour.
From the point of view of the inertial frame,
the westbound jet actually moves its clocks
slower than the clock on the ground, so the
westbound clocks gain time- -time goes faster
for them. From our above -the -North -Pole
grand-stand, the eastbound jet carries its
clocks faster than the clock on the ground,
so the eastbound clocks lose time- -time goes
slower for them.

Actually four cesium clocks were flown
around the world becasue there are billionths -
of-a-second differences in their accuracy,
and only by averaging their times could their
accuracy be improved enough to confidently
detect the relativistic changes. The meas-
ured changes were in very close agreement with
predictions of relativity theory. For the
eastward trip the predicted loss in time was
40 (plus or minus 23) nanoseconds, while the
measured loss was 59 (plus or minus 21) nano-
seconds . You couldn't ask for a much closer
fit of experiment to prediction.

So time really does slow down for the fast-
er moving clock! We've measured it. That
time slows down drastically for the galaxy-
exploring twin is a fantasy only because we
haven't yet built fast enough rockets.

In principle the twin fantasy is true.
Can real galactic explorers be far behind?

Externalities of Pollution

by Maureen and Keith Haight/Alternative
Features Service
Company prof it-and- loss statements do not
include "externalities"- -the social costs of
production, but the question of who bears
these costs is central to resolving our pol-
lution problems. Pollution- induced diseases
cost the American people $38 billion annually
($25 billion for lost wages and production,
$7 billion for health services, and $6 billion
in disability- payments) . Air pollution des-
troys $25 million worth of California's crops
every year. Industry does not pay these costs:
you do.

The Indian chief, Tecumseh, when approached
by white land buyers, expressed sentiments
which are re-emerging today: "Sell the coun-
try? Why not sell the air, the clouds, the
great sea?" While these resources haven't
actually been sold, industries and corpor-
ations since the 19th century have behaved as
if they owned them. They are free to pollute
our streams and rivers, the air we breathe
and the food we eat. We are free to ingest
industrial filth, see our doctors more often,
paint our houses more frequently because of
corrosive air and rain, and develop all kinds
of mental and physical diseases as a result.

Recognizing that Tecumseh 's age-old senti-
ments are once again arising, oil companies
have now taken to producing beautiful prime-
time television ads explaining that their
main function is to clean the environment for
seagulls, fish, flowers, and frolicking little
girls. Not only do we finance their increased
advertising when prices go up, but ironically,
all these costs (health, depreciation, etc.)
are added to our Gross National Product! No
wonder our GNP is always growing, and as
Archie Bunker expressed it, "This country has
the Grossest National Product in the world!"
GNP statistics do not consider the increas-
ing devaluation of our natural resources and
health. So, since the real GNP of our "free
enterprise" system seems to be faltering, the
only way for faster growth is through great-
er depreciation of our natural resources and
our bodies.

We can no longer ignore the widsom of the
Nigerian tribesman who said "conceive that
the land belongs to a vast family of which
many are dead, few are living, and countless
members are still unborn."

It's your choice: will you continue to
pay these externalities with your body and
the bodies of people you love, or will you
work to end the attitudes which make excess
production unnecessary and, more immediately,
to make those who waste our air and water pay
for what they use and for cleaning it up?

Knocking Out Bugs
With Natural Sprays

by Mick and Lini Wheelock

Modern organic gardeners face a peculiar
doublebind today. When they begin establish-
ing a garden they seldom have access to vir-
gin soil, and the task which usually lies
before them is nothing short of becoming an
amateur soil scientist.

This entails rebuilding a soil which has
been mistreated, re-establishing a semblance
of balance in the ecology of the area where
you live, and introducing many new plants
and beneficial insects. While it is true
that healthy, organically grown plants are
more able to repel diseases and insect pests,
it is sometimes difficult to produce truly
organic conditions in your soil for the
first year or so. And here the doublebind
begins: If you spray any form of pesticide
on your plants and soil , you run the risk
of seriously disrupting the conditions you
are striving to establish, but at certain
times, if you do not spray, there may be
nothing left to harvest.

The organic gardener is then faced with
a difficult choice. While many of the
famous authors of organic gardening publi-
cations claim that they have never found it
necessary to use pesticides of any sort ,
laymen occasionally find them absolutely
indispensable during the transition period.

According to the Indiana university
Biology Department, the following insecti-
cides can be used with relative safety in
the environment: Antrol Violet and House
Plant Insecticide Bomb, Black Flag Ant and
Roach Killer, d-Con Double Action Ant -Roach
Killer and Repellant, d-Con House and Garden

The shotgun approach to insect control
leaves much to be desired, so why not try
using pyre thrum spray? Also known as Dal-
matian Powder or Persian Insect Powder, the
spray is made from the pulverized flowers of
the pyrethrum plant, a relative of the chry-
santhemum.

In order to work with optimum effective-
ness, pyrethrum flowers should be freshly
ground. This creates problems, as these
plants are not generally available, and
often the gardener finds that he must cul-
tivate his or her own.

When a bug comes in contact with pyre-
thrum, it is not killed but passes out in-
stead, and if pyrethrum is used to repel
houseflies they must be swept up and de-
stroyed before they regain consciousness.

Pyrethrum presents no dangers to higher
animals or people, although certain in-
dividuals may have severe allergic reactions
to it. For this reason, it should be treat-
ed as if it were a highly toxic spray.

You can make a highly effective pyre-
thrum spray by mixing one teaspoon of fresh
pyrethrum powder with two quarts of hot
water, then adding a little soft soap to
thicken the mixture. Let the concoction
age for a day or so, re -mix it, and then
spray a fine mist on your plants as needed.

Another natural spray which you can pur-
chase is rotenone. Also kncwn as derris , a
substance is found in several tropical plants .
Although it is a mild stomach poison, it is
usually not dangerous to animals or people.
It may be purchased in pure form only from
pet shops or veterinarians, and is often com-
bined with other synthetic and highly toxic
posions, so watch for this when purchasing
it.

Of all the native American plants, only
the Devil's shoestring ( Tephresia virgini-
ana) contains rotenone. Devil's shoestring
grows only in the eastern and southern states.

Rotenone can be used with relative safety
on all plants and bushes. It kills a vast
variety of insects, and may also be used to
eradicate certain varieties of external para-
sites on domestic animals as well. Its re-
sidual effects are minimal and it must be
re-applied at 48 -hour. intervals . This is
highly advantageous , for ripening crops
can be sprayed up until harvest time.

Rotenone is almost the ideal spray- -if
there is such a thing! -- as it is very
deadly to insect but harmless to animals. In
various areas of the world it is used as a
fish poison, and for this reason, it should
be kept out of water systems.

What are the disadvantages of using these
natural sprays? Mainly that they kill Loth
the harmful and the beneficial insects. They
are dangerous, as they disrupt the delicate
ecology of your plants and soil, and in cer-
tain cases, they may even enter the soil and
kill the valuable earthworms as well. Al-
though these substances can be used as a
last resort, it is undoubtedly preferable
to stick with natural, non-toxic insect
eradication programs.

BUILD BEACHES WITH BOTTLES

(AFS) A Rutgers University professor
concerned with erosion of shorelines has a
unique idea which would also cut into the
solid waste problem. Dr. Michael D. Piburn
suggests that crushed glass could be used
to stabilize beaches .

In his recent article in Natural History
flagazine , he points out that present et forts
to combat erosion involve removing sand
from bays behind barrier islands in order to
refill beach areas. Naturally, this proce-
dure endangers a wide variety of animal and
marine life because these areas are the
breeding grounds for clams, crabs , some of
the flounders, and various kinds of water-
fowl .

Most available sand is too fine in tex-
ture to become a stable component, so it is
soon washed away and the beach again needs
to be reinforced. The advantage of "arti-
fical sand" is that it can be crushed into
any size range. The glass fragments, says
Dr. Piburn, 'would be quickly rounded in
the surf, so that they would present no
danger to people on the beach." He believes
the coarseness of the pulverized glass might
lead to greater beach stability.

Comparing costs of dredging natural sand
from bay area to the cost of processing and
transporting the "glass sand," the professor
states the process is economically feasible,
and- -beyond economics- -it woul4 save the
valuable inshore water tributaries for wild-
life.

We are reaching the point where the only
place left to discharge waste is in the
ocean, so recovery becomes absolutely es-
sential. If we can dispose of part of our
annual 15 million tons of waste glass, and
at the same time protect both our shore-
line communities and our wildlife, Dr.
Piburn 's plan certainly deserves serious
consideration.

Coming Down
on the Press

by Michael Bl&ke

On May 10, 1972, Los .Angeles Free Press
reporter Ron Ridenour grabbed his camera,
notepad and press card and dashed off to
cover the anti-war action at Richard Nixon's
Los Angeles headquarters. Dozens of other
media men also went, and after about 1,500
arrests they sauntered back to offices all
over the city to file their stories. Ron
Ridenour, however, went straight to jail,
and if there was ever any hope that alter-
native media outlets were making progress
in their battle for equal treatment- -well ,
forget. it .

The problem's an old one for editors and
staff of newspapers and magazines that have
little money, little political clout or
neither. For years college papers have
tried fruitlessly to obtain police press-

veteran, saw Ridenour clicking away and
ordered a uniformed officer to arrest him.
Ridenour asked his captor what the charge
was and got an "I don't know" as he was
being whisked to the station. The next
morning, his camera and freshly exposed
film in hand, his $500 bail made, Ride-
nour walked out of the station to pre-
pare for trial on charges of unlawful
assembly and failure to disperse- -alleged
violations which lift few eyebrows after
so many years of wholesale use by law en-
forcers .

The Freedom of Information subcomit-
tee of the California Radio and Tele-
vision News Association volunteered to
testify in Ridenour 's behalf, and Art
Kevin of the Radio and Television News-
casters of American said, in a statement
to the press, that Ridenour 's arrest and
trial amounted to nothing more than an
attempt by law enforcement to control the
communications media.

None of the official condemnations
seemed to help; Ridenour went on trial as
scheduled. The police lobbied for addition-
al charges of resisting arrest and striking
a police officer, but the prosecution de-
clined. The charge of failure to disperse
was quickly dropped. After a few hours of
deliberation, the jury ended the five-day
trial by returning a verdict of guilty on
the solitary misdemeanor violation- -unlaw-
ful assembly. The verdict came despite the
testimony of Dwayne Johnson, an editor of
the Los Angeles Times and current president
of the Southern California chapter of the
journalism fraternity, Sigma Delta Chi.
Johnson said that Ridenour 's conduct at the
demonstration was consistent with his re-
sponsibilities as a reporter.

In spite of a relatively long trial and
usual legal fees , Ridenour had cause to
take heart. All the charges save one had
been dropped and his case had focused atten-
tion on one of the underground press 1 big-
gest headaches.

Then, on September 19, Judge Armand
Arabian leaned over his bench and dropped
a bomb: he sentenced Ridenour to one year
in the L.A. county jail --one year for un-
lawful assembly. More than one former
inmate has said that county jail, in Los
Angeles, makes one pine for prison.

In a superbly documented and research-
ed book titled Press Freedoms "nder Pres-
sure , Fred P. Graham goes a long way to
explain why Ron Ridenour and others like
him have been sentenced, why underground
offices are harassed, and why college
papers can't get police credentials:

"At the local level," Graham says,
"law enforcement officials have used their
authority against the underground press.
They have never used it against the estab-
lished press. They seem to assume that
underground publications forfeit some
degree of their protection under the First
Amendment when they violate public stand-
ards of taste or morality or have commented
about the police. As a result, a double
standard for treatment of the underground
and the established press has developed- -a
double standard that implies unequal treat-
ment under the law."

If anything can be learned from the
problems which Ron Ridenour and the L os
Angeles Free Press now face, it is that the
double standard is far from being vanquished.
On the contrary, if Ridenour is any. example
at all, those who cast their lot with al-
ternative media would do well to brace for
even greater trials and tribulations to come.

2^

cards j undergrounds have lived with wire-
taps and intermittent raiding, and news
services have been plagued with a lack of
encouragement or cooperation from establish-
ed newsgatherers . And through the length
and breadth of the country case after case
crops up involving a reporter who got ar-
rested (or worse) trying to do his or her
job.

Ridenour is a classic example of the
above but the really shocking aspect of
his particular case is the penalty imposed.
It leaves little doubt that the war on dis-
sent which has raged for nearly a decade
is escalating like never before. In brief,
Ridenour's case goes like this:

Shortly after arriving at the scene,

Dateline* CENTENARY-

Scouting Report (II)

by Tom Marshall

Editor's note: This is the second in a
four-part series of columns that will
examine, position by position, the Cen-
tenary varsity basketball outlook for the
upcoming 1972-73 season.

THE BIG MEN

Tuesday, October 31- -exactly four weeks
before Centenary's season basketball opener
against Southwestern Texas --Larry Little sat
in his Gold Dome office and surveyed the
prospects for the center position. We dis-
cussed Centenary's "big men," the people
that basketball teams are made of.

It used to be that when you talked about
the "big man" at Centenary, you were refer-
ring to somebody who was, say, six- foot -seven
and more suited to popping buckets from the
corner than matching up against men four or
five indies taller. But this year things will
be different. This year, the center corps is
led by somebody who can look eye-to-eye with
all the other big centers, and in many cases
will stand head -and -shoulders above his
opponents. The man is Robert Parish, a seven-
footer out of Shreveport-Woodlawn, and he's
the one we talked about first.

Little starts off, "As far as the tools
Robert had when he came out of high school ,
there was no question about whether or not
he would be able to make it in college. The
only question was whether he could take the
pace up and down the floor, and whether he
could learn to both take and dish out the
physical contact that comes with college
ball. But one of the most satisfying things
we have seen since he has been here is his
attitude towards playing the game and his
attitude towards taking coaching."

The coach leaves little doubt as to what
he feels that Robert can do for Centenary's
basketball chances. "He'll give us the tre-
mendous help that we've needed on the boards,
and his potential as a defensive intimidator
will be more valuable to us than his offen-
sive accomplisliments ."

Does Robert play basketball like a col-
lege freshman? "\'o," is Little's quick an-
swer, "he doesn't play
ball like any college
freshman I 've ever been
associated with. But
I hope our fans- -students ,
/ faculty and townspeople

alike--will understand
that the learning pro-
cess for Robert, like
any college freshman, is
going to take a little
while. He'll be playing
against varsity centers
W . M in their second and third

BIG BOB years of competition.

That's 60 or more college games."

Little feels that Robert needs to improve
mainly on certain offensive and rebounding
aspects of his game. "He has to work on, for
example, clearing the rebound off and releas-
ing in a hurry. And to do that, he'll have to
improve his positioning on rebounds; in high
school there was no one to challenge him in
that respect. The most important change of-
fensively is that he needs to break the habit
of bringing the ball down low and turning to
drive- -he needs to learn to either quickly
get the shot off or throw the ball back out-
side."

SKEETER, JOHN & CAL

The other three men who the fans might
see in the center spot are seniors James
"Skeeter" Home (6-7, Albany, N.Y.) ana
John Murphy (6-7, Shreveport -Fair Park) and
freshman Cal Smith (6-7, Normal, 111.).

Of Home, Little allows, "He was slated
to see more play at forward than center this
year, but now he is definitely slated for
offensive center backup. In fact, I know
there will be some times when the offense
will go better with Skeeter in there than
with Robert. He strong on the boards --but
sometimes that comes in spurts. And in our
passing game (offense), Skeeter can go at
either forward or a post."

The other senior pivotman is John Murphy.
'His most important potential is as a rebound-
er and to help shut off the opposing center."
John is not only tall (6-7), but big (240
pounds) , and Little sees that as an aid in

providing "some additional necessary bulk on
the boards." But sometimes that extra size
can hurt, too. "He's going to have to work
hard to improve his quickness," says Little.
"John has been given the opportunity in prac-
tice to compete for some playing time at cen-
ter," the coach points out, and adds quite
seriously, "John is a real good kid and we 1 ve
been very glad to have him over the last four
years."

JAf^ES "SKEETER" HORNE

. . . ready for action.

The other man who might possibly see some
action at the center spot this season is fresh-
man Cal Smith. "Cal is a much changed player
over what he was a year ago when we watched
him in high school ; agressiveness was not one
of his main attributes. But he has worked hard
over the summer and changed from strictly an
outside player to an outside- inside threat.
He's a lot like a freshman, though, in that
one day he does some things great, and another
he does those same things poorly. How much,
if any, playing time he gets will depend on
his development. At this point, he will have
to improve a little more in all phases."

OFFENSE? OPPONENT'S CHOICE

As far as gearing the offense to the big
man, Little sees the Gents as having two basic
options to choose from- -with the selection
depending on the opposition. "If our oppo-
nent has good size but not a lot of quick-
ness, we'll probably use our passing game
and try to draw them away from the basket.
On the other hand, if they're smaller and
quicker, we'll go to our stack alignment
and work inside to the big men."

Little summed it all up with this over-
all evaluation of the center position:
"Robert's ability to improve early in the
season could help make the ball club better
overall. However, that is not to say that
the center will be determining factor in
our ball club's success. If Robert was to
have trouble adjust ing- -say if he was in foul
trouble a lot- -then the center position would
be just average. But I feel like we'll be in
as good a shape as most of our opponents.
The caliber of our depth will improve as the
season progresses. Overall, I would say that
we will be fairly strong at centei--much the
same as the guards. However, it will be the
least experienced position- -I can't call it
the weakest because of Robert's potential.
One weakness- -if we are going to term any-
thing a 'weakness '- -is the playing time at
center."

Time? Four weeks and counting. . .

RECIPES FOR DISASTER
by Don Akchin

After one month of serious cooking I
am responsible for only two minor dis-
asters and one major apocalyptic cata-
strophe. Not bad for a beginner, eh?

My recipes for these debacles are
printed below as a public service.

Rice Lice Twice
(a minor disaster)
Ingredients :

2 boxes of Chicken Flavour Rice-A-
Roni, margarine.
Directions:

Before roommate comes home, melt two
tablespoons of margarine in a frying pan.
Open a box of Chicken Flavour Rice-A-
Roni and pour the rice-vermicelli mix-
ture into the pan. Gasp. Gasp. Observe
dozens of tiny creepy-crawlies scrambling
through the middle of the rice -vermicelli
mixture, and also over left tackle. Re-
move pan from heat. With a spoon, gently
fling entire contents of pan into gar-
bage can.

Melt two more tablespoons of margarine
in the same pan. Open a second box of
Chicken Flavour Rice-A-Roni. Pour the
rice- vermicelli mixture into the pan.
Gasp. Cry out in anguish. Curse. Ob-
serve one big creepy-crawly resting atop
the rice- vermicelli mixture.

Peak out kitchen door to be sure no
one is watching. When the coast is clear,
fork the creepy -crawly and gently fling
him into the garbage. Leave the rice-
vermicelli mixture in the pan. Consider
it seasoned and proceed according to
directions printed on the box.

(a minor disaster)
Ingredients :
One can of beef stew
one bottle of Boones Farm Apple Wine.
Assorted spices and fresh vegetables.
One trusted cookbook.
Directions :

Following directions in a trusted
cookbook, heat a can of beef stew and
doctor it with fresh vegetables and
exotic spices. Note trusted cookbook's
recommendation of cinnamon, cloves, pep-
per and cheap red wine to interact to-
gether and form remarkable taste combi-
nations. Season liberally with pepper,
cinnamon, cloves and, in place of gen-
uine red wine, two cups of good old
Boones Farm Apple Wine. Simmer for 30
minutes .

Serve hot over fresh bread. Observe
quizzical expression on roommate's face
as lie tastes stew. Wince as roommate
suggests maybe you used sugar by mistake
in place of salt. Taste stew. Wince.
Squirm. Consider it experience and next
time buy a genuine cheap red wine.
Lightning Chicken
(a major apocalytpic castrophe)

Ingredients :

One trusted cookbook.

One whole frying chicken.

Oil and assorted spices.

One cantankerous gas ovenbmiler.

Directions :

Prepare to broil chicken, following
directions in cookbook. Rub each chic-
ken part with oil, then with assorted
spices. Light cantankerous gas oven-
brioler, setting control knob on 'B'
for broil, noting that cookbook insists
this chicken is going to be broiled, not
baked. Place chicken parts in broiler
and close door.

Wait five minutes. Inspect chicken.
Observe flames from broiler are searing
chicken a light black. Close broiler
door. Pray for chiacen. Reopen door.
Gasp. Observe the chicken is on fire.
With fork, beat the flames. When chicken

is dark black, flat and no longer burning,
turn the pieces over to sear on the other
side. Close door. Pray for chicken.

Open door. Observe the highly flam-
mable chicken has done it again and the
flames are raging out of control. With
spatula, dish towel and possibly a water
pistol, extinguish flames. Remove chic-
ken from broiler. Serve with extra nap-
kins and large water pitcher. Refuse
all flattery on quality of chicken's
subtle "hickory -smoked charcoal flavor."
Consider it a job well-done and pray for
four roommate. ,

Broadmoor High School in Baton Rouge. If
you've lost it call Bob Robinson at 5589.

It was a time for joy and a time for reflection. Last Fridav Satur-
day and Sunday were marked by the co-celebration of Centenary's annual
High School Weekend and a Student Senate -sponsored All -Campu? WeeS

„ P£C J 1 ? 6 * lm f f0 , r ^flection came Friday night, when author Anthony Bur-
gess (A Clockwork Orange, M/F, 15 1/2 others) spoke before a packed Forums
audience in the Chapel. Using A Clockwork Orang e to illustrate hi/
message Burgess warned that, " We must not allow ourselves to be regarded
as merely children of the state. The state is taking on more and more
power, and the state is aware of growing population and the need to sim-
plify its view of man.... We are ripe to be conditioned; we are ready to be
turned into clockwork oranges." '

worked into very original, personal versions of his manv hit
songs, including among others "Sad Movies Make Me Cry " "Water-
loo " "Bad News," "A Rose and a Baby Ruth." 'Tobacco Road," and
Indian Reservation." However, the great success of John D
Loudermilk did not rest in his past hits, but rather in his
easy rapport with a youthful audience (which had proved to be
quite hard to please during the All-Campus Review) due to his
compelling presentation mixing backwoods roots, intense under-
statement, and high level of talent and technical abilitv He
left the stage with students on their feet shouting, 'More!
More!" After two encores he retired to a chorus of the same
Snouts .

For its part, Centenary's student body responded to the
occasion of High School Day with high spirits and evident cour-
tesy, showing the high schoolers --prospective freshmen, of
course, a thought never far from anyone's mind--a very .good
time and presenting an admirable image.

Committee Views
Abortion, Honor Court

COXCLOMldlVfh advertising and editorial

Smith Bui I'd .trig .

Dr. Fergal Gal Higher, chairman of the pub-
lications sub -commit tec , made a pre 1 i mi nan-
report on the sub-committee's study of the
probable effects of abortion referral adver-
tising on Centenary and its surrounding com-
munity. According to the report, Centenary
Public In format ion Director Mauri e IVayne and
COX(;LOMHR\TL I'.ditor Taylor Caffcry have visit-
ed with a Shreveport Journa l staiT member
and a Cathol ic priest , both ol" them COXGI.OM-
lilUTH readers, to detennine t!ic i r opinions on
the problem. Jhe issue revolves around the
fact that abortion, a highly controversial
medical act which has been approved and con-
demned by large groups of clergyman and lay-
men, circuses very vocal responses in Shreve-
port .

Mr.

What's your idea
of true religion?

Unitarian ism is a way of life, life of
vigorous thought, constructive activity,
of generous service--not a religion of
inherited creeds, revered saints, or
holy books .

Unitarian ism is not an easy religion.
It demands that people think out their
beliefs for themselves, and then live
those beliefs. The stress is placed
upon living this life nobly and effec-
tively rather than on the preparation
for an after-existence.

EDITORIAL

THE ELECTION

To put it simply, Nixon forgot to put
his coat on. He was reelected with the
largest popular vote in history, but failed
to carry with him on his coat-tails many
Republican contenders and incumbents .

The reason for the Republican failure
to folia* through with' their political
swing becomes clear when one remembers
that the Presidential choice was seen as
a choice between two seedy undesirables .
With no strong positive motivation to vote
for a party leader, the electorate could
not be expected to transfer any al legiances
to the lower echelons .

It's interesting to note that three
former contestants for the same office in
a not-very-distant past race, Edwin Edwards,
Bennett Johnston, and David Treen, all have
now been elevated to positions of incum-
bency, where they'll quickly learn, no
doubt, to work together . Thus is politics .

Voters in California (see last week's
CONGLOMERATE) defeated the proposal to
legalize marijuana , thereby delaying the
great westward flow of young America until
some not-very-near future. — TLC

THANKS FOR THE FLEXIBILITY

To the Editor:

I want to express a word of 'Thanks"
to all students who volunteered to host a
visiting High School Day student in a dorm
room overnight. IVe had less men than ex-
pected ;ind more women. Therefore some men
students were assigned no visitors and some
woman students had more than anticipated.
IVe appreciate your "flexibility."

An early appraisal of feed back on the
event indicates a positive response. Thank
you for helping Centenary in this important
way .

Sincerely ,
Uarren Levingston
Director of Admission

BESTSELLER REVIEWED

To the Editor:

In response to Mr. Daiell's recent review
of Love Story , I would like to present another
love story. This story is in book form and
has been a best seller for many years. Quite
a few movies have been made about it. Vet
this love story is different because it gives
•great hope to man.

It is about a radical who put down hypo-
crites and tried to change many ideas of the
church of his day. He taught love and never
ceased to give it. Many things he did
astounded the entire known world.

He spoke about living life to its fullest,
and he lived his to its fullest. Yet this
great man of compassion was beaten by his
fellow man until he was marred beyond recog-
nition. They drove nails through his hands
and feet. Thev pierced his side with a spear.
They laughed and spat at him, and let him
hang naked on a cross until he died in shame.

Horrible? Yes. Inhuman? Yes. How could
a good God allow such a thing to happen? The
answer is found in that same love story- "For
God so loved the world that fte gave His only
Begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him
should not perish, but have everlasting life."
(John 3:16)

God provides us a life with Him. His

bombed out. "Iliey, in their stubbornness and
seeming intel lectual ism , have rejected God's
provision for life, and the result is the
suffering, hatred, and death of Love Story .

Jesus, like Jennifer, died an early, un-
natural, and unpleasant death. But through
a miracle of God, Jesus took even* wrong that
you and I have ever committed and will ever
commit, upon himself. .And with His Death,
sin was conquered. However, unless we ac-
cept this and take Christ into our hearts,
r iod's provision has no affect on us.

It's like a Christmas gift. The package
is there with a new sweater in it, but un-
less you open the package and try the sweater
on, it does you no good whatsoever. By the
same token, we must accept God's gift and let
Christ into our lives in order to have life.

I'd like to close my review of this love
storv with a quote from the Book. (Proverbs
1:24-33 NASB)

Because I called, and you refused;

I stretched out my hand, and no one
paid attention;

And .you neglected all my counsel,

And did not want my reproof;

I will even laugh at your calamity;

I will mock when your dread comes , . . .

•Then they will call on me, but I will
not answer;

'iliey will seek me diligently, but they
shal 1 not find me ,

Because they hated knowledge,

And did not choose the fear of
Lord . . .

But he who listens to me shall

securely,
And shal 1 be at ease from the c

of evil .

God's provision is available to eveiyone
through Christ. But if you reject that pro-
vision, the problems of life are your own
problems and, in many cases, your own fault.
Life is no bed of roses for anyone, but the
Creator of life promises to help us and stay
with us if we accept Him. 'Ihe choice is
your own.

This is the hope: the great difference
in the two "love stories." Jennifer dies
in the end of the story, leaving Oliver for
eternity. Jesus died, but rose again and
lives today to be forever with us if we ac-
cept Him. He can give you life, but should
you choose to reject Him, don't blame God
for the rest of your life.

UNDERSTANDING EACH OTHER

To the Editor:

I avail myself of the privilege of re-
sponding to the letter of Mr. Jeff Daiell
[CONGLOMERATE, November 3, 1972) since in
it he mentions one of mine (CONGLOMERATE,
October 27, 1972). I am answering the
letter in the hope that from these dis-
cussions will come understanding of dif-
ferent points of view, of different faiths,
and of each other.

Mr. Jeff Daiell begins his second para-
graph with, "The creation story (assuming
Dr. Pomeroy meant the Judeo -Christian
creation story, and not the Buddist crea-
tion story, the Zoroastrian creation story,
etc., etc.)..." Hi is suggests that Mr.
Daiell was forced to "assume" which story
I referred to because I had not made it
clear. I wonder if in his reading and re-
reading of my letter lie overlooked again
and again the fact that 1 referred to "the
creation story of the Old Testament" 0 One
need not "assume" that 1 referred to the
Judeo-Christ ian story, for it is, in fact,
that story which appears in the Old Testa-
ment, not the others Mr. Daiell mentions.

I did not "pontificate" that there is
no answer to the source of evil, as Mr.
Daiell wrongly accuses me of doing. No
one who has read and reread the letter
carefully could possibly believe that. At
one point I stated, "We, limited, finite
beings, can find no rational answer to the
problem of evil;..." Again, "Die relevant
problem of evil for a Christian is not to
explain the source of evil. l\'e may play
around with it, but find no meaningful
answer." All Mr. Daiell needs to do to
show that this understanding is not true
is (I) give us the answer to the question
of the source of evil and (2) show that
his answer is meaningful (makes some dif-
ference) , and/or is rational (a conclusion
for which reasons are given). But to mis-
quote me, distort my statement, and then,
on the basis of his own invention, say that
it, "is the remark of limited resources,"
does not further the cause of understanding
or reason. To say that I "pontificate"
does not clarify the issue, it only shows
that Mr. Daiell knows the word, but not its
meaning .

Mr. Daiell f s remark concerning this in-
vented quotation is that it is a remark
"of limited resources" (sic). To further
clarify the issue; my resources are limit-
ed, not infinite.

Perhaps Mr. Daiell and I disagree about
what the Old Testament creation story "says"
about evil because we are using the term
"responsible" in two different ways. It
appears to me that, in the storv, there
would have been no evil on the earth, or
for man, if he had not committed that one
misdeed. It appears to me that this is
the understanding the biblical author
wishes the reader to have. In this sense,
then, man appears, in the story > as respon-
sible for the evil he knows. Of course
there are other interpretations which make
God "responsible" as the ultimate source
of evil, but 1 simply suggest that one
read Genesis 3 to see if it is not clear
that the author "says" that there is evil
on the earth only as the consequence to
man's "misdeed." In this sense only does
the story make man "responsible."

Nfr. Daiell states, "Job's wife was in no
way denied God,..." This is a difficult
sentence for me to understand. If it were
not for Mr. Daiell 's earlier remarks I would
assume there was some error by the typist,
but I cannot. My error was assuming that
the reader would have some elementary know-
ledge of the Job story. It appears that
Mr. Daiell assumed that the word "deny" in
this context meant to deny the existence
of God, but no one with an understanding of
the story would think that. True, Job's
wife does not deny the existence of God,
but she does recommend that Job curse (deny)
God, and in so far as this is a serious re-
commendation (in the story) it reflects, in
some way, a denial of God.

In conclusion, Mr. Daiell says that there
is a rational answer to the existence of
evil. By rational, I assume that he means

there is an answer which is a conclusion for
which reasons can be given. If Mr. Daiell
docs not know the answer, I cannot under-
stand how he knows that there is one, except
in faith. I believe it is reasonable to say
that if neither Mr. Daiell nor anyone else
can give a rational answer to the problem of
the source of evil, then I am reasonable in
saying that there is no rational answer.
That is, there is no rational answer out
there somewhere beyond the mind of man which
he will discover by the use of courage, for-
titude and intelligence, lie may create a
rational answer and then there will be one,
but there is not one now. Now there are
only the answers of faith.

Mr. Daiell, if you will not tell me the
rational answer to the problem of the source
of evil, 1 am afraid that I am going to go
on thinking that there is no rational answer
NOW. I will continue to maintain that the
real problem of evil is not to discover the
source of evil, but the real problem is to
learn how may we overcome it and destroy it.

ESKIMOS ARE IRRATIONAL

To the Editor:

I avail mayself of the privilege of re-
sponding to the letter of Mr. Larry Wright
(CONGLOMERATE, November 5, 1972), since the
letter refers to a previous one of mine.

"For I do not seek to understand in order
to believe, but I believe in order to under-
stand." From the time of the writing of this
sentence by Anselm (1053-1109), knowledgeable
men have known that faith (theory*) preceeds
reason. To deny that faith preceeds reasons,
or to say that there can be reasoning with-
out faith is simply to affirm that one has
not seriously studied and understood lan-
guage or philosophy. Mr. Wright's letter
does, to some small extent, reflect reason-
ing, but I will demonstrate below that his
reasoning proceeds from statements of faith.

1 have some difficulty understanding all
Mr. Wright's logical connections, but it
seems to me that my letter somehow indicated
to him that I did not believe that "man is
the only reasoning animal." I do not under-
stand how my letter would lead to such a
conclusion, even though I do not believe
the statement is true. Chimpanzees have,
in laboratory experiments, stacked one box
on top of another in order to obtain bananas
high out of their reach. Psychologists say
this reflects reasoning. Since Chimpanzees
are not men, it is reasonable to believe
that man is not the only reasoning animal.
It is true that I do not believe that man
is the only reasoning animal, but I cannot
understand how one could know that if the
only evidence he had was that I had not
defined the term "evil" in a particular let-
ter.

In an attempt to put Mr. Wright's argu-
ment into standard form we find the fol lav-
ing: Mr. Wright says that my letter is a
"case of point" relative to "millions of
people do not realize this" ("this" being
that, "a human being's reason is the only
means of survival, and to reject reason is
to die," or, "...man is the only reasoning
animal," to which sentence the "case in
point" relates is not made clear in Mr.
Wright's letter). To illustrate that my
letter is a "case in point" v 'r. Wright says,
"in his letter, Dr. Pomeroy failed to define
evil." Now, if we put the arguments into
standard form, supplying the suppressed
premises p we get :

"No people who fail to define evil
are people who realize that a human
being's reason is his only means
of survival , . . .

Dr. Pomeroy fails to define evil.

Therefore:

Dr. Pomeroy does not realize that a

human being's reason is his only

means of survival."
Now let us do the other one.

"No people who fail to define evil

are people who realize that man is

the only reasoning animal.
Dr. Pomeroy fails to define evil.
Therefore:

Dr. Pomeroy does not realize that man
is the only reasoning animal.
I ask the reader, do Mr. Wright's argu-
ments, when exposed to the full light of
logical analysis, reflect his life of 'full,
conscious, objective reason 1 ?

I will now demonstrate that Mr. Wright's
"understanding" of man proceeds from faith,
not reason. He states, "Good is that which

tends to sustain life and evil is that which
tends to harm life." Ihese are Mr. Wright's
definitions of good and evil. ITiey suggest
that life is good, for if it were evil, how
could something that sustains an evil be
good? However, "life is good," is a state-
ment of faith. Mr. Wright, I think, is
guilty of implying an irrational, illogical
statement of faith. I f I am not correct in
this, will someone write out a syllogism in
which the statement, "life is good," is the
conclusion and neither premise is a state-
ment of faith? I agree that the statement,
"life is good," is true, but I recognize it
as a faith statement, and I do not fool my-
self into thinking that I am being logical
or reasonable when 1 make it.

Is Mr. Wright's letter one which reflects
living by "full, conscious, objective reason?"
It states, "Man has no fangs, claws, pro-
tective coloration, or other equipment for
survival." Has not man hands , fingers , eyes,
ears, hair, feet, toes, thumbs, teeth, legs,
and arms, all excellent equipment for sur-
vival? What kind of "life of reason" could
possibly overlook these marvels? Mr. Wright's
sentence reads as if he has just discovered
Ayn Rand, and has forthwith stopped thinking.

'Dr. Pomeroy 's letter insults anyone who
functions as a rational human being...," is
another statement from Mr. Wright's letter.
I can produce upon demand one who functions
as a rational human being who was not insult-
ed by my letter. Is this another reflection
of the heights to which Mr. Wright's logic
will take us, that is, to publishing state-
ments so blatantly false that it takes only
a couple of minutes to provide evidence to
refute them?

Mr. Wright suggests that my not defining
evil is somehow related to finding no mean-
ingful answer to evil in this sentence, "In
his letter Dr. Pomeroy failed to define
evil. ('We may play around with it, but
find no meaningful answer.')" My letter
clearly states that we may find no meaning-
ful answer to the source of evil, not that
we cannot define the term. Of course I can
define "evil," as many persons have. But a
definition of "evil" had no logical or rat-
ional relationship to my letter, as all
logical and rational persons, except Mr.
Wright, could see easily and clearly* How-
ever, even if I could not have defined the
term, I could have looked up a definition
in the dictionary if it had been logically
relevant. Any sophomore logician, even
the most unreasonable, can easily see that
to define the term "evil" is not to answer
the problem of its source. Further, what
kind of logic is it that would, after noting
that I did not define "evil," use it as a
"case in point" to show that I did not
believe that "man is the only reasoning
animal" (a statement proved false by scien-
tific research)? How does Mr. Wright fur-
ther the cause of reason by such blatant
distortion and scom of logic?

"If any ideal is worth dreaming of, it
is worth trying to achieve." How true!
But it is another of Mr. Wright's illogical
faith statements, unprovable unless with
the use of other statements of faith. I as-
sume that since Mr. Wright could find no-
thing in my letter which he could attack
with honesty and reason, he distorted it
beyond recognition by attempting to show
that I did not believe that man is the only
reasoning animal because 1 had "failed" to
define the term "evil." The problem of
defining evil never entered into the argu-
ment of my letter by him, I assume it was
done so he could show the reader what it
means to live the life of "full, conscious,
objective reason." Does not reason itself
teach us that it is not right to distort a
man's work and then attack the distortion
as if were the man's true work? If reason
cannot, then faith can.

Well, just to prove I can do it: "Evil is
being born irrational and having to go to
college and study in order to become rational."
That proves that Eskimos are irrational and
can't define evil, because there aren't any
Eskimos at Centenary', and blubber is evil,
because it's not good.

Hello, I'm a Truck!

by Cherry Payne

Hie truck almost has become an .American institution, immortalized over and over again
bv such expressions as "Keep on Truckin'," 'Trucking on down the road," and even by a song
entitled "Hello, I'm A Truck." There's no denying it—trucks are cool. Truckers are even
cooler. Hundreds of people are turning to the trucking industry for careers --people with
college educations, adventuresome spirits
and insatiable desires to travel.

But, for most of us, trucking is simply
not very realistic (yes, even some of us
must admit that there is some discrimination
in this industry because ot sex. . .) . Mean-
while, we attempt to console ourselves by
looking at trucks, wearing t-shirts with
trucks on them, talking about trucks and per-
haps best of all, talking to and/or looking
at truckers. Trucking west a few miles from
Shreveport on 1-20, it is almost impossible
to miss Kelly's Truck Stop, officially known
as "Kelly's Truck Terminal." There, one
finds an abundance of trucks, scales, truck-
ers, good food and other related trucker
items .

To put it simply, Kelly's is GREAT (es-
pecially the blueberry pancakes) . The cuisine
(or grub) at the restaurant is excellent,
reasonably priced and well worth the trip.
Vet, the food is only one aspect of many that
is of more than passing interest to any as-
piring sociologist (or anyone else) .

The variety of people who frequent Kelly's
is simply incredible. Donny Kelly, the son
of D.A. Kelly, is the second man in the
operation and co-owner of the business. I
asked Donny what kind of people frequent
Kelly's, and he said, "We get the best in the
business. All the way from people like you
(?) to rednecks."

Donny is the third generation of truckers
in his family and it was only after speaking
with him and taking a tour of the entire plant
that I realized the enormity of the operation.
Kelly's i£ a member of NATSO (National Truck
Stop Association) which is comparable to the
AAA. Kelly's caters to the truckers first
and the local customers and tourists only
second. As Donny puts it, "Drivers are kings
of the road." Truckers, Donny noted, are on
a very tight time schedule and this is why
there is a separate area in the restaurant
for professional drivers they get served first,

and rightfully so.

Kelly's is a "million-dollar operation"
and is known all over the United States by
professional drivers as one of the best stops
in the country. The facilities are amazing.
There are 22 rooms for truckers to sleep in,
with a hundred- room "Wheel in' Inn" now being
constructed. All of the rooms have such lux-

uries as color televisions and private baths,
with just showers available for both men and
women truckers (Donny noted that 150-175
showers are taken daily) and a barber shop,
a trucker's stcre and a gift shop.

For the trucks Kelly's provides fuel (Donny
is quite proud of the fact that his fueling
bays are staffed exclusively by women and that
they are doing better jobs than men in the
same capacity). About 1,000 gallons are
pumped in a 24 hour period, and they project
over 1,000,000 gallons next year. A one-hun-
dred mile road and tire service is provided,
a dispatch service, wet and dry ice for fresh
products being hauled, a service department
which will wash the trucks and do necessary
maintenance work such as change the oil,
etc. , and a truck care center which can
do any kind of repair job (even to a complete
overhaul) . Donny employs over 160 people
just to maintain this operation.

Kelly's is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week. It is worth a trip out there just to
see the trucking industry at work, for, as
Donny noted, the trucking industry is the
largest in the United States. They are glad
to have you out there, and if the food doesn't
lure you, the variety of people should. Be-
sides, it's worth it just to hear "Hello, I'm
a Truck" on the juke box.

PULLING FOR THE NATION

November 10, 1972

From Pa</e One

Marijuana

ever. Jail is still a bad place to be.
People are still going to jail.

That highly respectable and impeccably e re-
dent ialed authorities can now be found on all
sides of the marijuana question doesn't chan-
ge the law. f The following sequence of unplea-
sant consequences still await those who choose
to mess around with marijuana and happen to
get caught .

Arrest, this can occur anywhere and any-
time^ IT can be with or without a warrant.
It may be based upon a police officer's act-
ual observation, his reasonable belief, or
information given to him by an informant. It
is a relatively simple and usually humiliating
matter. You are taken into custody and treat-
ed like the criminal that you are. You do
what the arresting officer says, or else.
You are searched. You may or may not be hand-
cuffed. You are transported by police car
or paddy -wagon to the City Police Station.

Booking, mugging, and printing . At the
police station your name and the offense with
which you are charged are duly recorded in a
large book open to public inspection and per-
used daily by the press and other media.
There is no way to keep people from knowing.
Your name will be in the newspaper. You are
then taken upstairs and mugged and printed.
Your picture, fingerprints, and the fact of
your arrest are forthwith sent to the Louisi-
ana State Police and the Federal Bureau of
Invest igat ion, from whence they will follow
you the rest of your life, jeopardizing your
chances of a job, the school of your choice,
and even membership in numerous organizations.
You now have an arrest record, whether you
are subsequently found Innocent or guilty.

City Jail - Parish Jail . You are then
given your iail clothes, white coveralls and
tennis shoes, which may or may not fit. Your
own clothes are either stored for you or sent
to the lab to be examined for traces of mari-
juana. You nay be kept in this jail for
some while and questioned by the detective
department if it has not yet completed its
investigation or nearly as bad, ignored. You
will not get out on bond from the city jail.
To get out on bond you have to be transferred
physical lv to the Parish jail where the same
procedure is repeated.

Bond . Your bond has to be specially set
by a judge. There is no schedule of bonds
like there is in the case of minor offenses.
Your bond for Possession of Marijuana will
probably be around $"50.00. For Distribution,
around $3,000.00. To make this bond, your
parents, friends, or relatives can either
post this money in cash or property with thv?
Sheriff or you can hire a bondsman to do it
for you at a fee of 10* of the amount of the
bond. You don't get back what you pay to
the bondsman. If you can't make bond, you
stay in jail until trial.

Befo re- you £j to court . While ycu are
out on bond, it you were able to make bond,
a lot of people ask you a lot of embarrass-
ing questions. You can reply to these ques-
tions by lying, bragging, telling the truth,
or being Silent. No matter what you say
or don't say, it is a frightfully embarras-
sing thing. You can also hire an attorney.
If you're charged with mere Possession of
Marijuana and cannot afford to hire an at-
torney, you will just have to do without,
because the law does not require that one
be appointed for you.

Arraignment . This is your first ap-
pearance in court. You wait your turn in
company of a host of others charged with
all manner of criminal offenses. Finally,
your turn comes. You stand before the jud-
ge. The charges are read. You then plead
guilty or not guilty. If you plead guilty,
sentencing will follow shortly. If you
plead not. .guilty, your case will be set
for trial or time will be allowed for
the filing of preliminary motions.

Preliminary Motions . The Constitution
of the United states guarantees to you cer-
tain procedural rights. If you feel that
any of these rights have been violated in
the course of the proceedings, you can
urge this violation in your defense by way
of preliminary motion prior to trial. Pro-
fessional police officers are very careful
not to violate any of these rights. We
have plenty of professional police officers
in Caddo Parish, in consequence of which
preliminary motions are seldom effective.

Trial . You are not entitled to a jury
trial for the offense of Possession of Mari-

THE CONGLOMERATE

iuana. In most instances, it is a relative-
ly simple matter for the State to make
positive identification of the substance
found in your possession and to offer the
testimony of one or more credible witnesses
that it was in fact found in your possession.
Although police officers and narcotics agents
do make mistakes, such mistakes are excep-
tion rather than the rule.

Sentencing . This may or may not follow
immediately upon your conviction or plea
of guilty. The judge has a great deal of
discretion within the limits set out by the
law. He may request a Pre-sentence Inves-
tigation made by a special state agency into
your background. This generally takes a
couple of weeks. If you are convicted of
Distribution, you stay in jail during this
investigation. Maximum sentence for Posses-
sion is six months in the Parish Jail. For

THE CONGLOMERATE

November 10, 1972

Grandpa Jones and a Winnebago
in Eureka Springs, Ark.

by John Wafer

Ride into Eureka Springs, Arkansas, on
Route 23 from the south and, even before
coming to the marker announcing: Eureka
Springs, pop. 1683, you are accosted by this
gigantic billboard, done in basic blue, which
proclaims that the quaint Ozark village which
you are about to enter is the one and only
home of a statue, subj ect -Jesus , which stands
over SEVEN STORIES HIGH AND HAS AN ARMSP.VO
OF SIXTY FEET! And to go along with this
super statue, in what must be the package
deal of the decade, at least in Eureka
Springs, you might witness the world-famous
PASSION PLAY, done live under the stars on
a mountain with the unlikely name of Mount
Oberammergau, for a small fee. Seven stories,
imagine that.

Fortunately, Eureka Springs is not com-
pletely overshadowed by this mammoth icon,
either physically or in spirit, although it
is sometimes difficult to maneuver around
the bus parked on the town's only street
while the pilgrims clammer aboard to be cart-
ed off to Mt . Oberammergau and the stars.
The village has seen tourists before; it was,
in fact, founded on the tourist business some
years a^o when the springs in the area were
running freely, beckoning the tired in body
to come soak their arthritic bones in the
healing waters. The springs have mostly
dired up now, thanks to the efforts of the
Army Corps of Engineers and the forces of
nature and all that remains are stone foun-
tains with tiny jets of water shooting ob-
scenely skyward. The super Jesus was pre-
sumably constructed to keep some of the
tourists in Eureka Springs by a very wealthy,
zealously Christian businessman, who retired*
to the community to bring the wonders of his
beneficence and his money to the Ozarks .
Eureka Springs' other attractions now are its
surroundings, which are impressive, and at
this time of year with the fall colors in
evidence everywhere- -peak foliage, the bro-
chures call it--especailly so, and the town's
burgeoning community of craftsmen.

Actually, my purpose in going to Eureka
Springs was neither the craft's scene nor
the colors on the trees nor to catch the last
performance of the season of the Passion
Play (which was rained out anyway, ]>erhaps
significantly). There was to be a festival
of sorts taking place there, officially call-
ed the 'Annual Ozark Folk Festival', and I
assumed, not entirely incorrectly, that any

folk festival in the Ozarks would absolutely
have to have a liberal sprinkling of moun-
tain music of the genre "bluegrass." There
were rumors flying about that Doc Watson was
supposed to put in an appearance there, which
would, if they proved to be ture, make the
trip worthwhile at twice the distance. Unfor-
tunately, those rumors turned out to be just
about as valid as the ones which fill the air
around rock festivals and the like concerning
"appearances" by Bob Dylan or raising from the
dead of Jijnmy Hendrix, which is not very.
There was some quite decent fiddle playing in
the afternoons in the park, however, and an
appearance by Grand Ole Opry regular Grandpa
, Jones, which created quite a stir even
amongst the oldsters in the crowd who love,
above all else, well -played banjo.

Other than that, the music was pretty
grim. A band from Little Rock spent a couple
of hours on the stage Saturday afternoon
playing mediocre or worse renditions of some
Hank Williams stuff. Another group from
either Fayetteville or Fort Smith, they talk-
ed about both as though it was home, played
what they called country but what sounded
more like late -fifties schmaltz, and bad
schmaltz at that.

Overall, the festival needs some work to
make it as good as it could be with some pro-
per direction. Management of the tiling ap-«
pea red to have been left up to just about any
one who did not get out of the way in time to
be pressed into service, with the result that
the product came over pretty weakly. The
'hillbilly" section got in the way of the
slicked down tourist business, and the summer
hippie section got in the way of both. About
the legitimate crafts people, they wisely
stayed pretty much out of town for the week-
end to keep from getting run over by some guy
from Joplin, Missouri in a god-awful huge
Winnebago camping machine.

As a guy from New Jersey said just out-
side of town where he was working on the
house that he just bought, having moved
there from Tuscon, Arizona which was 'too
damn flat and toooa damn hot,' "close off
the streets to the automobile and worse
traffic, open up the thing to some of the
truly legitimate musicians, of which there
are several in the hills around town, quit
trying to catch every tourist dollar that
happens by, and you might have something
worth seeing." You might, but not yet.

MYSTERIES OF THE ALCHEMISTS UNEXPLAINED

Some alchemists known as Adepts are said
to have made gold by putting a little red-
dish powder into a molten mass of lead.
Their aim was not to make gold, however- -
they were testing whether or not they had
succeeded in making the reddish powder, call
ed the Philosopher's Stone.

They had to have a way of testing it be-
cause when its quality was assured, they
mixed a tiny bit in. distilled wine and drank
it as an "elixir of life." They believed
the elixir was capable of curing diseases
and prolonging youth. Surprising as it is
to us today, the elixir's all-important
function was to raise one's level of con-
sciousness .

At long last there is a book that makes
alchemy a little clearer: Alchemists and
Gold by French historian Jacques Sadoul .
Even this book, however, is laden with
abstruse metaphors, misleading nomenclature,
and deliberate omissions - -the result, per-
haps, of persecution by the Church, the
greed of princes, and the destructive bent
of military' men, which are some of the his-
torical reasons for alchemists' secrecy.

By present scientific standards, alchemy
doesn't make sense. True enough, physicists
can transmute one element into another by
splitting and fusing atoms. But this is
done with rather large machines called ac-
celerators, using enormous amounts of elec-
tricity. Also we have chemical ways (such
as LSD) to change our level of consciousness.
But this doesn't seem to have anything to do
with metal chemistry. We certainly don't
yet have a chemical "fountain of youth,"
though not for lack of trying.

Yet for all its fabulousness, there are
sober, historical reasons for believing that
alchemy was for real : there were people who
became quite suddenly wealthy. They were
not alchemists , but claimed to have been
contacted by alchemists, who had given them
small quantities of the reddish powder, the
Philosopher's Stone.

They had been instructed to demonstrate
transmutation to highly placed people, es-
pecially sceptical scientists. The alchemists
apparently wanted to show that their art was
not fictitious. They did well to stay in
hiding, for the usual outcome of openness was
that scrae king would order a demonstration of
goldmaking, and when it was successful, im-
prison the demonstrator to get the secret out
of him, usually by torture.

TVo scientists, according to their own
testimony, carried out transmutations in the
seventeenth century. The Belgian chemist
Jean-Baptists van Helmont in 1618 was given
some powder by an alchemist. Helmont did the
transmutation himself and had the courage to
publish his results. In 1666, Helvetius the
physician to the Prince of Orange in The Hague
received a very small quantity of yellow now- 1
der from a stranger. He had been an out-
spoken opponent of alchemy, but his own ex-

periment with the powder changed his mind.

He had the gold tested in the Dutch Office
of Assay, and the Master Controller of the
laboratory said that it was of the highest
standard he had ever seen. In 1667, Benedict
Spinoza, the philosopher, gives an account of
his investigation of the transmutation: 'To
make sure of my facts, I went to see Brechtel,
the man who did the assay. He told me that
while it was being melted, the gold had actu-
ally increased in weight when he dropped some
silver into the pot. The gold that changed
must have been of a very remarkable kind!"

Accounts of the health of alchemists are
also in the historical record. There are
several on Count St. Germain (recorded over
many years) saying that he always appeared to
be about 45 years old. Although he attend
many banquets , the records say he never ate
a thing.

There have been alchemists who made the
philosopher's stone right up to the present.
The most famous twentieth century Adept is
a man going by the name of Fulcanelli. This
alchemist warned the chemist Jacques Bergier
in 1937 about the dangers of atomic explosions
and artificial radio-activity. (The first
atomic chain reaction in official science
happened in 1943.) In 1945, an American major
working for an intelligence unit contacted
Bergier. The major was in a terrible sweat
to find the alchemist, Fulcanelli.

Fulcanelli's description of alchemy is
worth pondering. "You will not be unaware
that in present-day official science the
part played by the observer becomes more and
more important. Relativity, the principle of
contingency, demonstrates how important is the
role of the observer nowasays. The secret of
alchemy is that there exists a means of mani-
pulating matter and energy so as to create
what modern science calls a field of forces.
The field of forces acts upon the observer
and puts him in a privileged position against
the universe. From this privileged position
he has access to realities that space and time,
matter and energy normally conceal from us.
This is what we call the Great Work."

Based mainly on the writings of Fulcanelli,
Cyl aini , and Phililethes, Sadoul presents a
detailed procedure for making the philosopher's
stone. The procedure is not simple but it is
at least clear. For the first time the vexing
question of the starting material is plainly
discussed. Those of us with a sense of irony
will be happy to know that it is possible to
begin on the alchemical path using as our
starting material iron pyrites, or "fool's
gold."

Literary Trends at
Pierremont Mall

by Cherry

"I would like to think I f m a person living
opinions rather than being opinionated."

And truly this lady does precisely that.
Mrs. Jean Rabb is owner/manager of the Book
Boutique across from Pierremont Mall. While
Mrs . Rabb could be employed in any number of
capacities, a bookstore seems most appropri-
ate, for it is here that she mav incorporate
all of her many interests and skills in one
direction.

Admittedly, her talents are many. Mrs.
Rabb holds a Bachelor of Arts degree with a
triple major—English, Sociology, and History
with minors in Science and French. While
she does not hold a graduate degree as such,
she had had a considerable amount of gradu-
ate work, particularly in the field of psy-
chology. She has taught extensively, par-
ticularly at the secondary' level, and has
even done some testing for the parish school
system. In addition, Mrs. Rabb once wrote
a book column for a local daily but resigned
"...because they did what they call editing
and what I call butchering." She does do
occasional writing for the Minden paper pre-
sently.

In speaking of literary trends and the
kind of literature being read, Mrs. Rabb
noted that the older generation seems to be
reading the "escape" literature while the
younger people are reading more seriously.
"I really think they are trying to solve
their own personal problems and the world's
problems in a much more thoughtful manner
than my generation," "rs . Rabb maintains.
She did express concern about television and
what effect it is having upon the children
of today in relation to education.

She noted that ours is a visually oriented
society and because of this, emphasis upon
reading has deteriorated. "Many parents
turn the baby sitting chore over to the tele-
vision," she pointed out. She stressed the
importance of merely reading to children
for their exposure to it, if nothing else.
Futhermore, she noted that children should
be taught to read earlier. They have the
capacity to learn at a younger age, she feels,
and the curiosity and enthusiasm of young
children is such that they would be more re-
ceptive to learning.

.\ot only does Mrs. Rabb have ideas about
education at the elementary level, however.
Speaking of Centenary she expresses the de-
sire to see the education department here
establish some sort of school (for pre-
schoolers, for instance). Learning, Mrs.
Rabb emphasizes, comes only through prac-
tical evperience.

Another idea which she stressed is to
have people who have been successes in their
fields to teach their specialty. .As an
example, she mentioned older people who
were forced to retire. Here, she feels, is
a surplus of talents and these people need to
be needed. Mrs. Rabb feels that successful
professional people should be brought in to
teach for a semester, over the interim or
during the summer. She mentioned this as
possibly being funded by the Great Teachers
Scholarship Program.

Interestingly enough, Mrs. Rabb feels
that we need to return to the arts and the
idea of working with one's hands. "We have
put the white collar too high," she main-
tains. "I would like to see a combination
of craftsmanship and education... I wish
that there was some happy marriage of the
humanities and vocational training. I
would like to see a return to pride in
craftsmanship, for instance .. .cabinet ma-
king, glass blowing and stone masonry."
Attacking planned obsolescence, Mrs. Rabb
believes that we need to simplify ourselves
a little and regain some sense of pride in
the work we do and respect for the crafts-
man.

During the course of our conversation
Mrs. Rabb expresses much concern about Cen-
tenary- and the future. Distressed at the
rumor that many students plan to leave Cen-
tenary at the end of this semester, she
questioned the manner in which the open dorm
controversy was handled. Yet, what uas 1
most refreshing was that she sided with the j
students on the issue. She continued by [

Payne

noting that if people cannot handle them-
selves by the time they get to college, they
never will be able to do so. Seeing a
lack of communication and involvement with
Centenary and the Shreveport community, Mrs.
Rabb believes that her ideas on education
previously mentioned would pull the two
together.

Mrs. Rabb is a most delightful and stimu-
lating individual. Her optimism is refresh-
ing ('Tour job should be fun, your religion,
your education,") and her general knowledge
amazing. She loves to talk with people and
exchange ideas. Everyone is welcome at the
Book Boutique. It 's worth a trip down there.

The

Love Drug

by Buddy Nevins/AFS

'There wpre nude bodies everywhere, squirm
ing to get off of a large throw rug and into
their clothes."

The setting of a new pornographic movie?
No- -the police report of a raid on a metha-
qualone party, America's aphrodisiac drug
kick that is spreading fast.

Called 'The Love Drug" by users because
of its reported loosening of inhibitions,
police first started noticing large scale
methaqualone abuse about six months ago.

"We began finding those little white
tablets," said one narcotics agent, "along
with the regular assortment of pot and
pills. It sent us running for our copy of
the Physicians' Desk Referen ce (a book
containing data ;ind picturesUf all pre-
scription medicines) to find out what every-
one was using ."

Made under the trade name Parest , SOPOR,
and Quaalude, methaqualone is a nonbarbitu-
rate sedative given to patients who have
trouble sleeping, linlike most other
"downs," methaqualone is not physically ad-
dict ive, but it can cause psycho logical de-
pendency .

illegal users of the drug claim it causes
drunkenness, slurring of words and loss of
muscle control. But perhaps the best-liked
effect and definitely the # reason most give
for its growing popularity is its enhance -
T^nt of the sex drive.

Orgies among users are not uncommon and
the racy drug is in great demand with
"swinger" groups of young, married couples.
One Atlanta doctor prescribed methaqualone
for co-ed patients, visiting them after of-
fice hours when he kneu their libido would
be at its height. .And many arrested recent-
ly for sex crimes iiave been found to be
under the influence of the drug.

"It makes you float right into an affair,"
said a dental assistant who uses no other
thugs except marijuana. "I have to watch
who I take it with as it makes you more
suscept ib le ."

"You desire sex more," a pretty, 21-
year-old stewardess explained. "Rut its not
like these old jokes about 'Spanish My.'
You don't hop in bed with the first person
you see. If you are with a guy that appeals
to you, it is more likely to happen, that's

It is methaqualone 's use as a love potion
that has officials worried. 'This drug is
not a harmless placebo to be used at even-
campus mixer," said Dr. David C. Smith, a
Florida physician specializing in the treat-
ment of drug problems. "It is a powerful
central nervous system depressant that can
cause internal bleeding and other horrors in
overdose quantities. 'Ihe fact that it has
reported aphrodisiac qualities makes it all
the more attractive to drug abusers, hence
mo~e dangerous."

Even such an unlikely crusader as- Jerry
Rubin has taken up the banner against metha-
qualone. During the recent demonstrations
at Miami Beach's political conventions,
Rubin and his Yippies organized an "Anti-
Downers and Ant i -Quaalude March" to pro-
test against the increased use of these
dangerous drugs.

"I don't care what the effects are, they
are death," said Rubin, clad in a red'
bathing suit for an outdoor press conference
announcing the street action. .And with
Miami Beach Mayor Chuck Hall looking oveif-.
his shoulder in approval, Rubin complained
that "the government is shoving these Quaa-
ludes down our throats to keep our minds
sedated."

Despite Rubin's explanation, methaqualone
is spreading because there is money to be
made selling the drug illegally and people
want to buy it. One dealer on a southern
campus picks up a tax-free $500 a week making
five sales of 1000 pills each. "I could
sell five times that amount if I could get
them," she said, adding, "that's how much
people want them."

The illegal pills and capsules come
from the factories of some of the nation's
largest pharmaceutical manufacturers. Un-
like barbiturates, no increased security
precautions accompany the production of

methaqualone, which is made by six companies
in vary ing forms .

"Parest provides help for thousands of
people without the danger of taking a bar-
biturate," said a spokesman for Parke, Davis
§ Company, which manufactures the capsule
sold in differing strengths. "We realize
some of our dings are finding their way into
illegal markets and we are trying to do all
we can to prevent it."

As of now, an arrest for methaqualone
abuse is classified as "possession of a re-
st ricted drug without a prescription," a
minor charge in most areas. But Federal
Food ;ind Drug Admin is t rat ion officials are
pressing Congress to pass f inner legislation
against the drug. Within a year; narcotics
agents hope to have such new laws.

FAT CITY

A country song twangs in the background
as scenes of Stockton's "redevelopment" area
fade in ;md dissolve on the screen. Flop
houses, demolished office buildings, broken
concrete, flyblown bars and small stands of
derelicts pressed against the wails.

The dissolves stop in a dingy hotel
room where a man is sprawled on his hack
across an iron bed. lie lies in his under-
pants, battered face unshaven and impassive.
As the twanging continues, he reaches for a
cigarette, then fumbles with irritation for
a match. Ihe music stops while he searches
through a meager clump of possessions. As
he puts on his socks to go out , Kris Kris-
tofferson hits the voc-1 of 'Help Me Make
It 111 rough the Xight," and the credits
begin.

While the titles continue, the man canes
down to the sidewalk, does an indecisive
wobble at the door, flips the still unlit
cigarette into the street, and returns up-
stairs. He stuffs some gear into a gyr, bag,
and walks out .

In the first five minutes of Fat _Citv,
Stacy Keach and director John Huston have
put together an exquisite short film that
captures the essence of the picture. Holly-
wood has increasingly used the "grabber"
technique of television dramas s no doubt
with the eventual TV market in mind for the
finished film. But this piece in Fat City-
is extraordinary, setting the scene the ~
pace, the mood, and the motivation for
the action to follow. Keach as Billy Tully
is lonely, desperately so, and as far down
as you can get this side of a drug habit.
He is also a small-time boxer, inhabiting
part of the bush leagues where the has-beens
mingle with the never-will-be's in a circle
of memories and hope.

A film like this has a one-in-a-million
chance of artistic and box-office sucess,
risking pathos and maudlin self-pity at
every turn. And "downer" movies seldom
hit the top of the gross receipts chart.

Fortunately, Leonard Gardner's fine
first novel and screenplay attracted money,
a big distributor, John Huston, and a cast
that includes Keach, Jeff Bridges, Susan
Tyrrell and Nicholas Colasanto as the for-
ever hopeful fight manager Reuben Luna. The
combination hits the top- -fat city, evoking
melancholy and tenderness in vividly por-
trayed brutal surroundings.

Hie most remarkable aspect of Huston's
production is the accuracy of his working
class settings and complete lack of the
traditional condescension. The dusty streets

of Stockton's skid row breathe in this film.
So do the small, sweaty arenas of the local
bouts, and the onion fields where Billy Tully
and later young Ernie Munger bend in the mid-
day heat. These scenes are portrayed with-
out romanticism or comment. That life
simply exists, and people inhabit those tight-
ly ci rcumscribed worlds . It's a revelation
to see such things in a U.S. theatre- -there
has been nothing like it since the Canadian
Coin' Down the Road .

The beauty in many of the small sequences
hinges on the efforts of two people to re-
late, always just missing by a distance per-
ceived only by the audience. The scenes of
Tully picking up the drunken Susan Tyrrell in
a sleazy bar, and later their fight over a
flophouse meal, show personal interaction work-
ing through a haze of misguided talk. Hie
acting and script come together perfectly to
reveal character and human condition.

At the bottom of central Californian
cities, White, Black, Giicano and Indian
meet in a common neighborhood of despair.
Huston captures that feeling with refresh-
ingly unstylized performances by the Black
and Mexican actors, and by the camaraderie
expressed with them by the poor whites.
Reuben Luna's pathetic stable of Mexican,
White and Black fighters is a fine example.

Fat City is finally about hope, ;md fail-
ure, and ambitions that were not quite strong
enough. Reuben Luna remains forever hopeful
of a winner, but presides instead over the
gradual wreckage of human flesh and spirit.

In his novel, Gardner writes of Luna's
boxers, "As if in rebellion against his in-
fluence, they had succumbed to whatever in
them was weakest, and often it was nothing
he could even define. They lost when they
should have won and they drifted away."

Ihe film ends in an all -nig' it cafe,
Tully and Frnie .'lunger staring blankly
ahead with nothing to say to each other.
Each has failed himself, each is alone and
trapped with that knowledge, each has seen
the dreams of his youth evaporate, ihe
mortal fear of a wasted life lives in the
heart of us all, <and it makes these two
battered faces linger in the i Pagination.

Paying the Costs

San Francisco, Ca. (AFS)--In an unprecedent
ed decision here, a U.S. District Court
Judge has ordered California's Division of
Highways to pay the litigation costs of a
Mexican -American organization which success-
fully opposed the construction of a northern
c !a 1 i f o in i a f reeway .

Judge Robert F. Peckham made it clear
that he is awarding the fees (in an amount
yet to be decided) because citizens would
not be able to go to court to enforce en-
vironmental laws if they had to bear the
economic burden of lawyers' fees.

'To force private litigants to bear their
own costs would be ... a penalty," said
Peckham. "It seems somewhat inequitable to
punish litigants vno have policed those
charged. . . "

If Peckham 's decision stands after it is [
tested in the U.S. Court of Appeals, public
interest law could follow the model of per-
sonal injury suits represented on the basis
of a contingent fee. A person or group with-
out funds could hire top legal representat-
ives who would collect onlv if thev won, and
public interest law firms might thus become-
self-sustaining through payments of court -
awarded fees.

The far-reaching ruling capped the success
of La Raza Unida, joined by the Sierra Club
in blocking the construction of a 14 -mile
section of 8- lane freeway which would have
wiped out housing for 5000 people in Hayward,
Calif, and destroyed a botanical garden and
major parks in two cities.

The Mexican -American political action
group was represented by Public Advocates of
San Francisco, a law firm funded by the Ford
Foundation. Public Advocates' Manager J
Anthony Xline said 35 similar cases are pend-
ing in courts throughout the U.S.

Female Cagers Set Action

There was a meeting on October 31st of all
girls interested in participating on the the
Women's Extramural Basketball Team. There
were approximately 12 girls out for this
meeting.

Miss Settlemire introduced her "condition-
ing program" which the girls will be working
on. Practice will be starting November 7th,
at 8:00 pm. The girls have their first game
on December 8th with Henderson State College
and on December 9th they will play Ouachita
Baptist. Letters are being sent to fourteen
other colleges around to try to set up a
schedule on a home-on-home basis.

The girls are presently trying to come up
with a good name for the team. If you have
any good suggestions, please turn them into
either Miss Settlemire or Eileen Kleiser.

SENIOR LARRY DAVIS

. . . the results are what count.

The first name that comes up in the dis-
cussion of the cornermen --indeed, this name
comes up first in almost any discussion of
Centenary basketball --is Larry Davis, a
six -foot -three senior out of Shreveport-
Woodlawn. Everything that can be written
about Larry Davis has probable already been
written, but it all deserves to be put down
again. To begin with, Davis --nicknamed
"Spaceman" because of his ability to seem-
ingly defy the laws of gravity with
his fantastic leaping ability- -
led the team in scoring (20.5) and re-
bounding (8.2) last year en route to being
chosen Most Valuable Player by his team-
mates. His career point total (876) is
eighth on the all-time Gent scoring list,
but he should improve that to second or
third by the end of the upcoming season.
And he didn't get those totals by throwing
the ball up every time he got it' either; his
two-year floor percentage is .539 and, should
he duplicate that mark this year, Larry
would set an all-time Centenary record in
that department!

"Larry is a real exciting player to watch
because of his many offensive moves and jum-
ping ability," Little understates. "Larry,
will be counted upon heavily this year to
provide leadership to some of the younger
players coming up," says the Gent mentor, and
then tells why Davis gives nightmares to un-
fortunate opponents charged with the mission
of trying to stop him. "He has the ability
to score*both inside and outside. When you
add to that the fact that he can effectively
use both his left hand and his right hand in
and around the basket , that makes him double-
tough to defense. I know that some of his
moves and shots look unorthodox, but he has
fantastic body control, and those moves get
results." Little smiles, 'We looking for the
results , you know."

The other senior forward is six-five
Bossier High grad John Hickerson. John--
who became a starter at about tfce midway
point last season- -led the team in point
production in the last two games of the
season. Little is pleased to report that
"John has been a vastly improved player

over his four years at Centenary. He did
an outstanding job in the last half of the
season last year. John possesses great
quickness for a man of his size. And
he's a lot better player since he became
more agressive on the boards." That's
the truth- -Gent fans may remember quite
a few instances last season when John
decided that he and a basketball soaring
high above the rim had a date with destiny--
and nobody, but nobody, could stop him from
keeping that appointment. Little cites
Hickerson as "...one of the reasons we won
11 out of 15 ball games at the end of last
year."

A NEWCOMER

Junior Roosevelt Fuller, who prepped in
Shreveport at all -black (now phased out)
Valencia High, comes to Centenary after a
two-year junior college stint at Henderson
County JC in Athens, Tex. Of Roosevelt,
Little says, "He's made great strides in
the last week. Like any other transfer
player, he has to feel his way at first- -
learning our drills and systems. But has
improved considerably. There's no question
about his innate ability. He's a leaper
and what I call a 'streak shooter.' And
he has the quickness to be a good defensive
player." Then Little says what you'd ex-
pect him to say about a man with Fuller's
reputation: "Roosevelt doesn't have his
game all together yet, but if and when
he does..." O.K. Roosevelt, keep that
game coming along.

"Leon will play an important role in
our varsity program for the next three years,"
announces Little when asked about sophomore
forward Leon Johnson. Johnson is six-
five and led the Gents' much heralded fresh-
man squad last year with 26.5 points and 15
rebounds per game. "Leon is quickly approach-
ing a 'complete ball player,' I feel," Little
continues, "There's no question about his
shooting ability. And he's excellent to have
on the fast break either on the wing or in
the middle." Aw, c'mon, Coach- -a six-foot-
fiver leading the mad dash down the court?
"You betcha," Little retorts, "He's a good
passer off the fast break, And he'll also
be an important factor in the full court
press."

Another six-foot-five soph, Jerry Waugh,
is also on Little's list of men who are set
for action in the corners. "Jerry has been
one of the most pleasant surprises of the
season so far," says Little. "He's pro-
bably our best passing forward and he's go-
ing to be a steady player. He has good
timing on the offensive board and, when he
becomes a little more agressive defensively,
he'll see considerable playing time."

With this abundance of talent, Little
sees a real opening up of the Gent offense.
Explains the coach about what would happen
if an opponent's defense directed its ef-
forts to stopping, say, Parish in the mid-
dle, "We hope we can get the defense to
concentrate on stopping maybe one phase of
our offense, because we feel like we've
got enough balance to score a lot of ways."
In other words, if Robert found a lot of
company in the middle, that would leave
Davis and his forward corps free to do their
thing with less harassment. On the other
hand, if the cornermen drew the attention,
then Parish would have a lot more playing
room inside.

"There aren't many teams in the country
who'll have more quickness at forward than
we will," offers Little, assessing the
overall outlook at forward. "They'll be
pretty good percentage shooters- -but if they
have a shortcoming or liability, it would
have to be size. They don't reaily have the
size of big-time college forwards, who usual-
ly go six-nine or bigger. But we're going
to try to make up for that with quickness.
Overall, I would say this looks to be our
strongest position, mainly as a result of
the caliber of the starters- -whoever they
may be- -and also the depth."

Quality, quickness, and depth--that's
the Gents' forwards for the coming year.

Dare To Be Great

Where Have All the
Flower Children Gone?

Women's Lib Comes to Town

Mad Professors in
The Chemistry Labs

by Mary Oakland

Upon entering the first meeting of the National Organization for Women in Shreveport Tuesday night I
found no bonfires bearing the sign, "For Restrictive Underwear Only 1 ' or any male figures hung in effigy
The situation was as I had expected it to be. '

There were about fifty nonnal , child-rearing, husband- feeding women in the room (including four black
women) and four men. After adjusting to the depressing realization that there probably wouldn't be any
riots that night, I got a nametag , signed the register, and was handed a couple of pamphlets and an appli-
cation for membership. rj

Linda Martin, a member of the NOW Chapter in Baton Rouge was the speaker. She began by explaining why
she first became a member of NOW. Ms. Martin had been an out-of-work Chemist who discovered that three
companies m Baton Rouge all followed the same policy- -no women chemists. Naturally being a bit enraged
she joined NOW in an attempt to solve her problem.

Ms. Martin went on to explain. the history of NOW. The organization was founded in 1966 by 28 women.
Betty Friedan, the first national president, is one of the most lamous members. Alley Butler Moore, a black
woman from Louisiana, is not as well-known, but she was of equal importance in the founding of the movement.

The basic purpose of the organization is full equality for women. Ms. Martin began a lengthy discussion
of the Equal Rights Amendment by saying that it is the "number
one top priority fcr NOW" and tiiat the Shreveport chapter will
soon devote one meeting to an explanation fo the bill. She
continued by reading this amendment, which passed March 22, 1972.
It will become a part of the Constitution after it has been rat-
ified by 38 states. At the present time, 21 states have approved
it, so 17 more are needed. It will not go into effect until
two years after ratification in order to give the states time
to change some of their laws. In Louisiana, the amendment
passed 25-13 in the Senate and was defeated 64-32 in the House.
The major objections were the draft and rest rooms. Ms. Mar-
tin pointed out that the only time "women" is mentioned in the
Constitution is in the 19th amendment. "When the founding
fathers said 'man,' they meant man."

She mentioned four other goals and activities besides pas-
sing the E. R. A. The first was solving the problem of cre-
dit for women, especially married women. Apparently many women
in Louisiana have been having difficulties getting credit in
their own name. This is partly due to the fact that in Louisi-
ana, the husband is the head and master of the community, and
therefore may Legally tell his wife what money is to be spent,
even if she has earned it. One of the main reasons women should
want credit in their own name is that someday they might be di-
vorced or widowed without a credit rating.

The second activity was letter-writing. Ms. Margin suggested
telling each delegate to the Constitutional Convention that a
statement that no rights should be denied because of sex should
be included in the new constitution.

The third activity was a study of schoolbooks. It seems that
many of the children's books tell little boys that thev should
be firemen and policemen and little girls that they should be
mommies and secretaries.

The fourth activity was rap sessions. These sessions would
be for about 7-10 women who should get together outside of the
regular meetings to talk about various problems and to build

their confidence as women.

To those of us who are purely "liberal
arts" students, Mickle Hall presents a rather
forbidding countenance. The very thought of
taking a class on the first, second or third
floors of Mickle virtually causes us unscien-
tific slobs to quake in our shoes. Yet, in
my two years at Centenary, a predominantly
liberal arts college, I have made some rather
stunning discoveries. 1) Chemists are (can
be) hunan and 2) the necessary prerequisite
for being a chemist (assuming our five pro-
fessors on the third floor represent the
norm and not the deviate) is pure, unadul-
terated insanity. Walking down the hall on
the third floor one is liable to encounter
such oddities as track practice, a good
chunk of the faculty Softball team, the re-
gistrar's office, a spontaneous rehearsal of
some Gilbert and Sullivan production and lame
mountain climbers mourning over lost posses-
sions. And this is only the faculty ! To
think of what the students do up there is
mind-boggling (reports are filtering down

THE CONGLOMERATE

November 17, 1972

The Argir Group, a highly accomplished
acoustical rock group, will perform in the
SUB Coffeehouse tonight, tomorrow and Sunday
at 8:00pm. Fred Argir, leader of the three-
some, plays twelve-string and standard guitar,
and sings harmony with Texas University grad-
uate Betsy Bernard. James Lampley , left,
plays bass. The group, which has been well
received by campuses on this current tour,
has been experimenting with combining serious
poetry and contemporary music styles.

Ad Policy Set

The Student Life Committee met during the
break Tuesday to decide on a policy for preg-
nancy-related referral service advertisements
in the CONGLOMERATE , and to take action on
the proposed Mardi Gras Holiday.

The bulk of the meeting was devoted to the
issue of what members constantly called "abor-
tion ads." Dr. Fergal Gallagher suggested a
delay on a decision pending a complete check
on the service whose ad prompted the entire
matter, but the Committee decided to formulate
a general policy Uiesday.

Discussion followed on the propriety of
calling the referral service in question an
"abortion" referral service; since this was
not to the point, Committee Chairman Robert
Ed Taylor called for a motion.

It was Sandy Bogucki who made the motion
eventually adopted by the committee. Sandy
moved that the CONGLOMERATE be permitted to
accept referral and counseling service ads,
but that the word "abortion" be excluded
from all such ads. Member and Senate Presi-
dent Rick Clark seconded.

At. Jeff Hendrick's behest, Ms. Bogucki a-
mended her motion to further require a pre-
publication check on the service requesting
advertising privileges. After further dis-
cussion, CONGLC^ERATE Editor Taylor Caffery
labeled the motion "a good compromise 1 . "

Following suggestions as to the criteria
to be followed (what constitutes a "good" re-
ferral service?) , the motion was brought to
a vote that the ads, following a good faith
check by the Editor, be permitted, without
use of the word "abortion." The motion pass-
ed with no opposing votes.

The next topic was the Honor system for
dorm visitation, but Dean of Students Eddy
Miller requested a delay pending further work
and study.

Then it was time to discuss the proposed
Mardi Gras Holiday. Senate President Clark
read a unanimous Senate resolution requesting
a two-day holiday for Mardi Gras, on an ex-,
perimental basis. Ms. Bogucki moved for ac-
ceptance, there was a second, and then came
discussion, most of which centered on the need
to make up the lost class time if the holiday
were adopted on a permanent basis.

A vote was taken, and the Student Life Com-
mittee voted to approve the resolution and
send it on to the Faculty.

Surprises from Susan

YONCOPIN Editor Susan Bell promises
several surprises in this year's YONCOPIN.

The YONCOPIN, of course consists of four
main sections: Features, which includes Stu-
dent Life and Personalities; Organizations,
which means Greeks, service groups, and aca-
demic honor societies; the People section,
which includes classes, faculty, and ad-
ministration; and the Sports department.

A lot of the pictures for this year's
yearbook are already in, Susan said. Others
will be in in plenty of time.

She and the rest of the YONCOPIN staff
plan some changes in this year's edition.
For one, there will be a lot more copy to
balance out the pictures. Since the staff
is more experienced this year, Ms. Bell
noted, the YONCOPIN will reflect greater
professionality.

And the surprises? Wait and see.

Senate ^efiont

by Carol Bickers

At its November 9 meeting the Student
Senate discussed everything from abortion ads
in the CONGLOMERATE to WRA uniforms.

The major committee report was given by
Dr. Fergal Gallagher of the Publications sub-
committee of Student Life. He pointed out
that this committee was considering the abor-
tion ads with two primary questions in mind.
Mrst, the committee was considering the ef-
fect of these ads on the local community.
Among the committee the consensus was that
these ads might harm the College's image
Secondly, the committee wondered if the agen-
cy, Problem Pregnancy, was legitimate. Dr
Paul Ware, a local psychiatrist , is now in-
vestigating the validity of this agency.

In other committee reports Bam- Williams
noted that Educational Policies and Standards
was still evaluating Great Issues and the
course-credit system. Dean Miller reported
tnat the SUB committee was busy contacting
interior decorators. g
Last week the Senate also considered the
£f n It facilities for the Homecoming Dance.
Among the suggested places were the Conven-
tion Center, Holiday Inn in Bossier, and
the Ramada Inn. Rick Clark stated emphatical-
ly that the dance would not be held on campus

several appropriation measures were pre-
sented to the Senate for approval. Tom
Guerin, Treasurer, asked the Senate to appro-
priate approximately $125 to aid Dr. Frank
Carroll , Director of the School of Music in

Repute (k t&e'JolicHp

by Jess Gilbert and Mike Marcell

The Sociology People are at it again. Al-
ways bitching. May be our comments will shut
them up once and frail.

1. With about 85 majors and 100 advisees,
the Soc. Dept. is, mayhaps, the third largest
on our fair campus. Big deal.

2. The department, under its present load,
cannot off her a great variety of courses.
And there is no time for re: search. Absurd.

3. The teachers have heavy dig it teaching
and counseling loads, plus other social log-
ical activities. They claim that they are
overworked and the students, occasionally un-
der taught . How abortive.

4. To top it off, they done already got two
teachers and they think that they done need
some more to give the students the education-
al x perience they done already paid for.
Queer as a clockwork orange.

Hey Soc. People: Naughty, naughty- -be nice
and stop acting up. We in the Foliage pro-
pose the following solutions to your "prob-
lems":

Shaft 75 of your majors, establishing a
"Sociology of the Elite" with a student/fac-
ulty ratio of 5 to 1. (This would avoid the
Trauma and Honesty of add mitting a 50 to 1
ratio.) Actually, a 10 to 1 ratio isn't too
bad, huh? So fire Vetter. And use his sal-
ary to hire an other Psychology teacher. But
we really don't need another crazyologist any
way. So hire Vetter back but cut his salary.
That'll show him who's boss.

Stop all community volunteer programs and
abolish Open Ear, thereby dispelling the ill
fusion of foolish freshmen that they have a
chance for meaningful service while at col-
lege. Ban all research- -knowledge does not
change. Stifle the rumors that sociolpgy is
a growing field 'cause it's just a fad, like
biochemistry and theology.

Make your fellow Soc. Person feel proud of

HOORAY FOR THE CONGLOMERATE!

To the Editor:

I would like to take this opportunity to
convey a much deserved word of praise to you
and your staff for publishing such an incre-
dibly excellent paper as the CONGLOMERATE .
For a school the size of Centenary, or of
any size for that matter, this is a tremen-
dous achievement.

Cherry Payne's articles on open dorms,
tarot cards, and mountain climbing were all
out of this world. You bet your sweet piton
they were. Mary Ann Callahan took a big
load off my mind when I read her article,
"Just Because You Bite Your Nails You're Not
Necessarily a Sexual Flop". There will be no
more sleepless nights for me now. Lou Graham's
music articles are also worthy of a pat on the
back. Just don't let Rolling Stone hear about
him or you will be minus one writer.

I have only one complaint to voice and that
is in reeard to the treatment (*iven P.eid Buck-
ley when he appeared. He lcnows what he is

talking about.

While you and your staff complain about
the prevalence of apathy on campus, you should
realize and be glad you have the amount of
involvement you do. Just with the CONGLOMERATE
alone, I can see more cooperation and good vibes
than with everything we have at Susquehanna put
together .

We do have a great radio station though.
WQSU is the only reason I have not yet dropped
out.

We at S.U. seem to have many of the same
problems that you people at Centenary do, but
you seem to have much more going for you there
than we do. I could think of nothing I'd rather
do than go to the Pizza King on weekends and
get destroyed (not really destroyed, but jolly
enough so that I would forget about the F I
am getting in Calculus II) . Then on Satur-
days you have the main event -The Big Riggers
football game. Wow! Sundays could be spent
wadding up paper to put in Stan Taylor's file
cabinet or organizing panty raids. What more
do you guys want out of life?

After looking over a stack of some of your
back issues I acquired from my dad who works
for the C.I. A., I was so inspired that I pro-
mised myself I was going to finish writing
that record review of ELP's 'Trilogy" that I
started in August and which. in the meantime
has collected more dust than an Electrolux does
in a lifetime. I hope you will print it. May-
be you can throw it in when you do not have
too many fillers.

I must sign off now, but will return again
in the future to waste more of your copy space.
You seem like you have a great bunch of kids
down there. Enjoy what you can as much as you
can and keep up the good work.

Oh yes, I almost forgot to tell you. Posei-
don is now playing his drums to a Mothers of
Invention record and says to send you all his
best.

HOORAY FOR THE ZTA S!

To the Editor:

The United States is notorious for having
one of the lowest voting turnouts among major
Western industrialized democracies. While
many European nations can boast average turn-
outs rates of between 70 and 85$, the U.S.
rate usually hovers around 60% and quite
often falls well below that figure in a non-
Presidential election.

It is thus reassuring to Political Scien-
tists that there are groups who are actively
attempting to promote a greater participation
in the electoral process. One such group,
which has received relatively little publici-
ty, is the Centenary chapter of Zeta Tau
Alpha, which this past week offered a baby-
sitting service to local residents who other-
wise probably would not have taken the trouble
to even try to vote.

While this may seem like a small thing, all
major accomplishments come about from such
seemingly minor acts. So on behalf of the
profession, and others concerned about the
reality of participatory democracy, I would
like to publicly thank the ZTA's, and hope
that it becomes an annual thing!

Sincerely,
W. P. Garvin

IN NOMINE HOMO

To the Editor:

Let me rebut Dr. Pomeroy very briefly and
so, perhaps, bring this entire imbroglio to
a conclusion.

1. As for 'Which creation story", while it
is true that, in his prefatory remarks, Dr.
Pomeroy used the expression "in the Old Tes-
tament", later on he completely dropped any
such or similiar distinction.

2. Dr. Pomeroy seeks an answer to the
question of the source of evil, and that

November 17, 1972

answer is that, strangely enough, not every
individual consistently acts in a rational
manner, since not even Dr. Pomeroy would deny
that to choose right over evil is the rational
course. There is no need to despair for an
answer, merely to seek one. There is no need
to wallow in self -degradation, wailing, "I
cannot!"; one merely needs to recognize that
one can (determine a rational answer) , and
then do so.

3. When I referred to Dr. Pomeroy 's ab-
dication of his heritage, that is, his rea-
soning powers, as "the remark of limited re-
sources", Dr. Pomeroy agreed; but does he
understand that he was unimaginative and too
quickly resignatory in his search for a
rational answer?

4. According to the Old Testament, Adam
and Eve performed one misdeed, to wit, an
act of petty thievery. In return, God con-
demned the entire human race. Dr. Pomeroy
does not object to this insane display of
psychotic injustice; indeed, by aligning
himself with God and blaming flan, he approves
of it. I wonder how long it will be before
Dr. Pomeroy walks up to one of the Jewish
students on campus and asks, "Why did you
kill Christ?" One would not blame the stu-
dent if he, like Jesus himself, felt a
little cross.

5. I would like to see the dictionary from
which Dr. Pomeroy draws the word "deny" as a
definition of or synonym for "curse" — or
has he written his own? If Dr. Pomeroy meant
curse, he should have said curse, not use
misfitting defintion and then attempt to ob-
scure the issue with a cloud of semantic dust*

6. As stated in #2 above, there is a ration-
al answer to the question of the source of
evil. We must deal with the source of evil,
not merely dress the symptoms thereof. This
means some sensible and substantive action,
not becoming the Fred Astaire of obfuscatory
rhetoric.

Yes, we can overcome and destroy evil, Dr.
Pomeroy, but not by saying that we are help-
less. Let us rejoice in our greatness as
human beings and eliminate all that mars
that grandeur.

HOORAY FOR ETHICS!
To the Editor:

Oving to the word limit I may answer only
one of Dr. Pomeroy 's charges made in last
week's CONGLOMERATE.

Dr. Pomeroy states that he can produce
on demand, a rational human being who was
not insulted by his letter. I stand firm-
ly behind my statement, that any rational
man was insulted by Dr. Pomeroy' s letter.
I think that the conflict lies in the de-
finition* of a rational human being. I would
assume that Dr. Pomeroy would point to a
man such as Albert Einstein (he has been
ased in such arguments more than most) who,
Dr. Pomeroy would say, was a rational man
and believed in a god. I do not agree that
Einstein was a rational jnan. True he was
rational in his handling of physics, mathe-
matics, and other of the sciences, but he was
grossly irrational when it came to perhaps
the most important of a person's decisions- -
a choice of a code of ethics.

A rational man is a man who is rational
in every aspect of his life, including his
choice of a code of ethics. As I stated in
my last letter religion has too long held a
monopoly on ethics. Altruism is the domi-
nant code of ethics today, chosen as such
by the vast majority of people. I have not .
l try to live by a code of rational self-

interest. I was insulted by Dr. Pomeroy's
letter and I maintain that any totally rat-
ional man was.

WHAT ETHICS?

To the Editor:

Volume 5 of the Encyclopedia of Religion
and Ethics has strayed from the Centenary
Library again. This would appear to be a
religious and ethical commentary, not good,
about the Centenary scene.

The Library is operated for the use of
everyone in the Centenary community. In-
dividuals who accidentally or intentionally
purloin library materials may satisfy their
immediate research or study needs. They al-
so make it impossible for others to have. the
satisfaction of finding these same materials
which they may need for their study and re-
search.

The Xerox is available for making copies
of any printed materials in the Library.
Integrity and a clean conscience should be
worth ten cents a page.

Reformed sinners may return accidentally
or intentionally purloined library materials
in the front door book drop. This makeshift
confessional offers partial absolution and
does not ask questions.

MR. TURNER AND THE LAW

by Jeff Daiell
It was approximately one hundred years
ago that Henry David Thoreau remarked that
"the mass of men live lives of quiet des-
peration." It was in this century that
Arthur Miller brought forth his classic
Death of a Sal esman, with its leading

character, Willy Loman, Thoreau f s prin-
ciple incarnate.

And there is no denying that Thoreau 's
observation holds in the United States to-
day. Travel across America, and speak to
her people; ask them about their hopes,
their fears, their aspirations and their
dreams. I think the result will be fairly
--- and pathetically --- uniform: America
is in the throes of a limp wave of despair.
The mass of Americans are living those
lives of quiet desperation, and it is sad.
It is sad because Man deserves better things.
It is sad because Man was meant to live and
despair and hopelessness is Death and Death
most bitter and most foul. It is a pathos
to bring agony to any decent individual,
and it is enough to bring the pain of wit-
nessed injustice to any lover of the Race.

It is even more painful, therefore, when
a voice arises in the wilderness, and offers
to the parched denizens of the crudest of
deserts the sweet and enthralling water of
hope, only to be persecuted as a cur and a
vermin and a plague.

Such is the case, I believe after admit -
" tedly limited investigation, with Glenn W.
Turner and Turner Enterprises, especially
one subsidiary thereof, Dare To Be Great,
Inc.

Glenn W. Turner started life as the son
of a sharecropper whose income averaged $500
a year. Not wishing to follow in his
father's vicious -circle footsteps, he ran
away from home, eventually joining the Air
Force, where, because of his harelip, he
was made "Captain of the Latrine".

After his tour of Air Force duty, Turner
became a door-to-door sewing machine sales-
man. He at one point became famous as such,
once selling six machines in one day -- an
unprecedented figure.

Later on, Glenn Turner was taken in by a
cosmetics company more interested in selling
franchises than in selling cosmetics. Al-
though he learned from the experience, he
saw the cosmetics business as a way not only
to make money, but to bring other people to
success along with himself.

Glenn Turner thus originated Koscot, Inc.
Of 273 cosmetics companies that began that
year, his was the only one to survive. Every
other company which began that year did so
figuring to make their first profit in six
years. Koscot made a profit its firt month.

Yes, Koscot sold franchises. But Koscot
strictly limited its franchises and the dis-
tributor-populace ratio. Nevertheless, many
States began passing laws requiring even
lower ratios. Koscot complied.

Even so, State after State sought to drive
Koscot (officially, Koscot Interplanetary)

from within its borders . Florida went so
far as to pass a special law banning the
structure of Koscot. Koscot promptly reor-
ganized with a new structure.

Jurisdiction after jurisdiction sued
Turner for fraud. Amazingly, virtually none
of Koscot 's investors or salespersons seemed
upset with Glenn Turner. Almost no employee
of Koscot objected to the way Turner had
conned them — all the way to financial
success most would have never thought pos-
sible. The customers didn't seem very irked
at Koscot, either: the company today has the
largest per cent age of repeat business of any
cosmetics company in the united states.

But Turner's troubles were just starting.
As Turner Enterprises grew in both size,
number of companies, and wealth, Glenn
decided that there had to be a way to reach
more people, to bring more leaders of lives
of quiet desperation to the point where he
or she could look at all about him or her
and say, "it is good!" So he conceived and
bore Dare To Be Great.

What is Dare To Be Great? Dare To Be
Great is simply a philosophy; a way of think-
ing and therefore of living. It is the
doctrine that every man carries within him
the seeds of his own success; that it is
the choice of every individual whether he/
she will savor the honey of happiness or the
vinegar of misery. It is the proud and
glorious cry which has been the salvation
and the splendor of Humanity: "I can!". It
is the knowledge that you are as great as
you dare to be.

Dare To Be Great teaches self -motivation.
That's it. There are four courses, named
Success Adventure I throught IV. To buy
Adventure I, you pay $300. For both I and II,
it costs $700. Buying the first three to-
gether costs $2,000. And if you want all
four it takes $5,000.

Few prosecutors have any quarrel with that.
The legal difficulty comes with the second
aspect of the company. Those investing in
either Adventure III or Adventure IV become
eligible to recruit new members of Dare To
Be Great. If you enroll in Success Adven-
ture IV, and recruit someone into Adventure
I, the company pays you $100. If you bring
someone in at level II, they pay you $300.
Recruit a new Adventure III student, and
Dare To Be Great will give you a $900 com-
mission. And if you bring someone in at
Adventure IV, you earn $2,000.

It is this aspect that has provoked so
many guardians of the public weal. Suits
have been filed against Glenn for fraud, for
misleading advertising, for false advertising,
and now Florida has sued him for failure to
register as a security.

They claim that great numbers of investors
in Dare To Be Great fail. And that is true.
The company tells prospective investors ---
BEFORE they invest --- that three of every
four will fail.

They claim that it is difficult to re-
cruit people for Dare To Be Great, and I have
seen the falsity of this charge in person. I
have- personally brought people to Turner meet-
ings. It is entirely reasonable --- and here
I speak from personal experience and from
first-hand observation — to bring three
people a week to one of the "GO Tours" as
they're called (the GO for Golden Opportunity).
And the Gulf Coast area, in which I was in-
volved, had a recruitment rate of 67.71. That
is , of every thousand people who came to a GO
Meeting, 677 earned commissions for their
sponsors. After several weeks of involvement
and observation, I deduced that those who fail-
ed to succeed in Dare To Be Great were those
who did not intend to earn commissions (one
such man, a Toyota salesman, spent $700 on the
first two levels. He was not eligible to re-
cruit others and earn commissions. But
what he had learned from the courses taught
by UTBG had brought him so much closer to
him to his dream of a Toyota dealership
that he was a walking commercial for Dare*
To Be Great. Yet, he is probably listed in
official prosecution files as someone who
"lost his investment in Turner Enterprises,"
those who could not accept the reality of
what had always been a dream, or those ex-
pecting a free lunch and unwilling to accede
to the principle that TAVSTAAFL; those who
would not work to bring their seeds to
fruition as crops. I will not retreat from
the statement that anyone can become wealthy
in Dare To Be Great. I have seen the Cadil-
lacs, the Mark Ills, the Continentals, the
$200 suits. The wealth is there. It just

Highlights of the album include the
title cut, "A Possible Projection of the

ing back on his own musical career fifty
years from now - a very personal song in-
to which Kooper injects so much feeling
and emotion that some of it has to spill
off over the turntable and invade the

listener's mind. "The Man in Me" is a
Bob Dylan composition, but with Kooper
adding his own character to it, the song
might just as well have been his. It's
easily one of my favorite songs. "Let
Your Love Shine" features Al's double

other scientist , yet he was an enemy of UFO
research. Surprise!

Hynek's book is partly a scathing criticism
of the Condon report, and partly a presentation
of 80 UFO cases , most of which he personally
investigated (and most of which the Condon re-
port ignored) . His main criticism of the Con-
don committee's work is that they spent most
of their time studying identified flying ob-
jects (such as balloons, planets, aircraft)
rather than investigating more reports of
truly strange objects for which no ordinary
explanation is possible. And Hynek points
out that one quarter of the 90 Condon report
cases were not explained, but rather buried
in the vast mass of data that make up the
965 -page report.

Some of Hynek 1 s cases are exceedingly well
authenticated, with multiple technically-
trained witnesses , independently making cor-
roborative reports based on both visual and
radar contact. For instance, on the morning
of July 27, 1966, the Federal Aviation Agency
tower in Greensboro, N.C., picked up radar
UFO's and, independently, several policemen
in the vicinity reported seeing UFO's buzzing
by. By concentrating on the truly unidenti-
fied phenomena, Hynek's plea for extending
our study of UFO's becomes concrete. He does
not make any claim that the UFO phenomena
necessarily represent extra-terrestrial in-
telligence. His approach is rather to say,
"Look, whatever their source, the study of
these strange objects is likely to lead to
the understanding of new physical principles."

One criticism that can be leveled at Hynek
is that he arbitrarily excludes from consid-
eration all UFO accounts that include com-
municating with humanoid entities. He allows
cases of seeing the entities, but draws the
line at talking to them. Perhaps he didn't
want to push credibility too far. But there
are well -authenticated accounts of such com-
munications, such as the Betty and Barney Hill
story brought out through independent hypnosis
sessions with a prominent Boston psychiatrist.
John Fuller wrote this up as The Interrupted
Journey , most of which consists ot transcrip-
tions from the psychiatrist's taped sessions
with the Hills.

Hynek says he left out UFO "contactee"
accounts because they usually come from people
who 'manifest psychological aberrations."
But, one must ask, "Who wouldn't manifest
psychological aberrations after having such a
weird experience, especially after having been
led to believe that such encounters are im-
possible?"

Yet is is not so simple as that. For there
are really three kinds of explanations offered
by believers in the UFO phenomenon. First and
loudest is the extra- terrestrail one--UFO's
are expeditions from distant planets. One gets
the impression that Hynek doesn't know whether
to favor this theory or the second one- -UFO's
are caused by yet undiscovered physical prin-

or voices

speaking, say, through a medium.

The one phenomenon that seems to unite many
kinds of strange events, such as psychic heal-
ing, dream schools, shamanism, alchemy, and
now the flying saucer experience, is out-of-
the body experience- -astral travel. I recent-
ly heard June Carry describe some vivid astral
travel experiences. One of the many things
she saw in her travels was a group of flying
saucers , and in another trip some of the huma-
noid entities associated with them. The im-
plication of her experience was that the fly-
ing saucers may "fly" by a form of astral tra-
vel. But astral travel is likely to be an of-
ficially undiscovered physical principle for

AL KOOPER: A POSSIBLE PROJECTION
OF THE FUTURE/CHILDHOOD'S END

Al Kooper is, without question, one of
the most talented musicians ever to ex-
press himself on a circular p:"ece of vinyl
He has eight solo albums for Columbia to
his credit, two of these made with that
flashy young guitarist of the Electric
Flag whom you all know of. Kooper found-
ed a group credited with pioneering the
so-called "jazz -rock" sound so many groups
employ, and after recording one fantastic
album with them, left to strike out on
his own. He has been featured as a guest
musician with Hendrix, Jagger, and Zim-
merman, to name only a few. By composing
and arranging material for countless other
artists, Kopper has left his mark on even
more music. He also spent some time with
CBS as a full-time producer and, to top
it all off, scored an entire movie sound-
track.

Ever since the release of the first BS61
album, I have been a big fan of Kooper's.
His musical styles have, over the past
five years, included straight blues, pop
music, gospel, progressive jazz, and soul-
ful R£B. He can play just about any in-
strument made and on his album is heard on

strength, and pinpoint precision are
constant. My only complaint is that there
is none of the improvisation (i.e. of the
Super Session nature) that Kooper does so
well on this disc. But if he continues
to pour out more tight music of this
quality, I won't be one to complain.

Don't take my word for any of these
good things I've been saying about Al
Kooper and his music wi though hearing him
for yourself. For all you know, I could
be one of his PR people, (but if so, why
would I be writing for a small circulation?)
Get your hands on any one of his albums,
they're all excellent, and put it to the
test. If after one or two playings every-
thing I've said is not confirmed, you must
be listening to it the wrpng way and there's
no hope for you anyway. You'll go all
through life regretting your blunder and
straving yourself of this truly beautiful
music.

water is only minutes away.

The faculty of the Chemistry department
is most impressive, however, and do keep their
students working. Dr. Robert Hood is Assis-
tant Professor of Chemistry and received his
doctorate from the University of Texas. He
is presently director of the Centenary Test-
ing Laboratory and teaches Inorganic Chemi-
stry. He also types a lot. One Chemistry
student (who shall remain nameless) is
known to state that Dr. Hood is the only
sane one of the lot.

Dr. Charles B. Lowrey is Assistant Pro-
fessor of Chemistry and the Registrar of the
College at the ff Big House." He earned his
doctorate at the University of Houston. He
presently teaches Organic Chemistry, and plays
football. He is also well -renowned for his
sense of humor and his children, cars and
garage doors (like father like son?).

Dr. .Rosemary Seidler is serving her term
as Assistant Professor of Chemistry with her
degree from Tulane University. She is pre-
sently teaching Freshman and Analytical Che-
mistry, purportedly gives tests on colored
paper, enriches her students with "Quotes
for the Day" ('•'How can ants be so placid
when they're filled with formic acid?"- -Odgen
Nash) and has her students discovering the
acidity-basidity of Drano and beer. There is
no doubt in my mind that Dr. Seidler was a
mountain goat in her former life (her agility
is incredible!) .

Dr. Stanton A. Taylor is Associate Pro-
fessor of Chemistry bearing his degree from
the University of Oklahoma. He teaches Phy-
sical and Freshman Chemistry and is renowned
for his yodelling abilities. He is also known
as "Dragon" or MacTaylorstein , and wears the
ultimate in baggy pants. (Dr. Taylor truly
should hold the title of "Best-Dressed Man on
Campus") .

Finally, we come to Dr. Wayne Hanson, Pro-
fessor and Chairman of the Department of Chemi-
stry. Dr. Hanson has been known to run a mile
and teach Organic Chemistry simultaneously.
He is truly a man of many skills. He reported-
ly has given a test in which the matching
section spells "Chemistry Examination" and
has his students discovering the acidity of
Jime Wade Foot Medicine, Alka Seltzer
and Milk of Magnesia.

A walk down the hall of the third
floor of Mickle is bound to prove pro-
ductive in some way, whether it is an en-
counter with Einstein reincarnated or Igor
lurking in the corner. Reliable sources
state, however, that the department is well
on its way to the solution of the problem
of ultimate reality. Aach too oh.

has to be earned.

But this is not a discussion of money, but
rather of spirit. The spirit of hope as
opposed to the spirit of despair.

And I have seen first hand the fruits of
victory as the spirit of hope has triumphed
over and routed and banned forevermore the
spirit of despair. I have seen an ex -long-
shoreman suddenly know that there is more to
Life than furnacelike holds, beer, and Bonan-
za. I have seen him realize that Life is not
merely a carpool and waiting for the whistle
to blow. I have seen dirt farmers realize
that the cycle of desperation and defeat can
be broken --- and I have seen them break it.
I have seen Black people shatter the manacles
of a still- lingering bigotrv and exult in the
new-found freedom of opportunity. I have
seen people who had never lived before find
Life. I have seen optimism where before the
fi?ld beheld only gloom triumphant. I have
seen it, and seen it first -hand. I know it
can be real, I know it was real for those I
met, I find it only logical that it be real
for all 600,000 members of Glenn W. Turner
Enterprises .

This is what some 2S States and the Fed-
eral Government are attempting to snuff out.
They will not succeed; I was privy to enough
to know that Glenn Turner is at least a year
ahead of even his closest aides and about
10 ahead of his persecutors; he will not be
stopped or even severely restrained. In-
deed, 1980 may well find Glenn Turner elect-
ed President of the united states. So I
am writing not for fear of his futuTe.

I write, instead fmm anguish at his
persecution. I do not like every thing

about Turner Enterprises ; they are too
religious, too Good Samaritanistic , and too
patriotic to please me entirely. But they
are working to give Man back His heritage';
His heritage of Life and of Hope. It is
a work so very vital in our land and in
our world today; the gloommongers and the
shacklers of the spirit are plentiful and
mighty. It cannot be sanely held too
much to ask that the task of giving Man
back Himself be allowed to continue un-
impeded. For without Hope there is no Life,
and those who steal or deny or waylay Hope
are the cruelest and the most sadistic cri-
minals of all .

Ms. Martin ended her speech by discussing
the nitty-gritties of any organization- -the
dues. The national dues are ten dollars per
month. If any Centenary students are interes-
ted in joining, there is a $5.00 special mem-
bership for students, retirees, etc. For $10,
the member receives copies of the monthly
publication, Do It Now , and of the quarterly
NOW Acts . There are no salaried people in NOW

Following Linda "lartin's talk, there was
a short intermission and slide show, 'The Un-
usual World of Children's Books," edited by
Dr. Mary Metz .

The film was very effective. It showed
that in many children's books little boys are
creative and have fun while little girls sit
passively and play with dolls. Despite the
fact that 39% of the work force .in the U.S.
is women, mommies in the books always wear
aprons --even bear mommies and cat mommies .

These trends in children's literature some-
times have a psyshological effect' on the
young readers. Occasionally, little girls
tend to think of themselves as objects be-
cause they are always supposed to wear frills
and like to play "dress up," while little
boys dress casually and have many outdoor ac-
tivities .

On the whole, the meeting was successful.

Most of the women seemed open to a few changes
in thinking. If anyone on our unliberated
campus is interested in joining NOW, Linda
Martin's number is 635-9245 and the next
meeting is on November 29th at 7:30. All of
the organization's meetings are open.

THE CONGLOMERATE

November 17, 1972

by Ted Friedman (AFS)

San Francisco -- At one time it had more
than a dozen head shops and scores of
boutiques dispensing nothing more fashion-
able than beads and bells. That was in
1967, the year of the Human Be- In at
Golden Gate Park celebrating beards, long
hair, bare breasts, and dope. But by 1969
and the drunken, freaked-out orgy at San
Francisco's Glide Memorial marking the
,r Death of Hippie," it was all over.

For those for whom it had never begun,
it dragged on for several more years of
disillusioned pilgrimages to the Haight.
There were interminable "warm San Francisco
nights still to be played to inevitable con-
clusions: rapes, rip-offs, and nightmarish
drug freakouts. But by the seventies, the
Haight -Ashbury, much abused symbol for the
defunct flower child phenomenon, was a
smoldering shell.

Scene of mass arrests, murders, and public
gang bangs, it was sealed off from the rest
of the city. Except for the gravest of
crises, the San Francisco Police were keep-
ing hands off, waiting for the Haight to
burn out. And burn out it did.

Today, even though there is much talk in
the Haight about a revival, Haight Street
itself still has the dingy, boarded-up look
of a disaster area. Only the hardiest have
survived the exodus in the late sixties of
the neighborhood's long-time residents. And
while it would not be fair to say there is
animosity between newcomers and the old-
timers, some of whom have lived in the Haight
for as long as thirty years, all the ingre-
dients for a confrontation are present.

There are, in fact, ominous resemblances
between the long-gone Haight ashbury Inde-
pendent Merchants (HIP) -- once headed by
Ron The 1 in, founder of the Psychedelic Shop,
the Haight 's most famous head shop -- and
Haight -Ashbury Neighborhood Development (HAND),

one of a multitude of neighborhood improve-
ment associations. Unlike some city -backed
groups , HAND wants to see the Haight take up
where it left off before all the drug pushers
moved in. Its storefront office is a clear-
inghouse of survival information, free uni-
veristy course offerings, and flop spot list-
ings, and it's the home of the Haight -Ashbury
Switchboard.

If not exactly flourishing, the old Haight -
Ashbury Merchants Association, which used to
clash daily with HIP, survives. After strug-
gling through the -- for them -- dark days of
flower power, they view with resentment and
apprehension anything that smacks of utopian-
ism.

Commenting on a HAND proposal for a mall,
Mendel Herscowitz, 58, Vice-President of the
Merchants complains, "Where would we unload?
I don't suppose those people have noticed it,
but we don't have any alleys to receive ship-
ments in."

Herscowitz, who locks his cash register
after each sale and works his hardware store
with the help of a three -foot -tall German
Shepherd and a baseball bat, criticizes as
rootless the young peole who are trying to
unite the Haight. Of one of the organizers,
he says, "he's in his twenties with no ties;
he can drift away as he came here, a revolu-
tionary. What has he got to lose?"

While the bickering continues, however,
there are signs of health. New stores open
regularly, most of them furniture stores,
book stores, antique shops. And both the
vacancy rate and the crime rate have drop-
ped -- vacancies by 50% and crime by 681,
according to officials. Bus service which
had long been discontinued has recently been
resumed and many residents say they are no
longer afraid to walk the streets in daylight.

What, exactly, the Haight will become is
anybody's guess. Before the pushers and

other rip-off types moved in, the Haight was
at the center of the major cultural movements
of the sixties. It was the home of the famous
San Francisco Oracle , considered by some the
flashiest underground paper in the heyday of
underground papers , and its gaudy boutiques
and head shops once attracted tourists from
around the world. The poster renaissance
originated and flourished in the Haight where
once you could buy a Jefferson Airplane or
Grateful Dead Fillmore concert poster for ten
or fifteen cents. They were printed in the
Haight .

But the printer who turned them out has
soured on this aspect of the Haight and no
longer prints posters. He has a few stashed
somewhere in his office, but he'll only dis-
cuss them with collectors.

Perhaps in its reaction to the deflowering
of the flower generation, the Haight continues
to symbolize the cultural history of its time.
The only difference between the Haight and
other parts of the country is that the Haight
had to live through it. Though precariously,
it seems somehow to have survived.

A growing number of ecologically oriented
architects and engineers believe lights are
too bright in the U.S. They contend lighting
standards have been set at artificially high
levels because of pressure by utility and
lighting industry companies who profit off
the wasteful expenditure of energy. One
architect, interviewed by the Wall Street
Journal , claims lighting levels could be re-
duced as much as 50 per cent "without threat
of damage and that performance in school or
on the job has never been shown to benefit
directly from high levels of illumination."
Critics of excessive lighting in this country
compare the 70 foot -candle (one foot -candle
equals the light intensity of a standard can-
dle at a distance of one foot) lighting stan-
dard in U.S. schools to the 10 foot -candle
standard in Britain.

Proponents of lower illumination levels
assert that they would alleviate the national
electric power shortage, conserve natural re-
sources, and save Americans $3.5 billion a
year in light bills.

Something can be learned from the family
life of the wrasse- -I'm not sure exactly
what. The wrasse is a species of fish found
in Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Ordinarily,
a wrasse family consists of a single male
who lords it over a harem of three to six fe-
males. But strange things start happening
when the male dies, and the females are free
of his domination. The most aggressive fe-
male of the group begins to develop into a
male, and after a few days, completes the at-
tendant behavioral and physiological changes.
The transformed female, now in every sense
a male, then begins to function as the new
master of the harem.

The death penalty "may discourage a few
potential murderers but it encourages far
more killings." This assertion was made by
Stanford University professor of law Anthony
Amsterdam at a recent press conference called
to denounce efforts to reactivate California's
gas chambers. Two Stanford professors of
psychiatry who agreed with Amsterdam's state-
ment told reporters there are numerous psy-
chological studies which demonstrate that
"very, very, very few" killers are deterred
by the death penalty. These are far out-
numbered by people who commit murders in the
hope they will be caught and executed. For
these murderers, killing is really an act of
suicide.

Judges have been showing an increasing re-
cognition of prisoner's rights in the past
year. Liberalized mail privileges, visiting
privileges, improved sanitary and recreational
facilities have all been ordered by the courts
as a result of legal action by prisoners.

THE CONGLOMERATE

The Perfect Job

by Jeff Daiell

Despite a balky car, spending the night
before sleeping in a parking lot, and chan-
ging clothes in the men's room of an office
building, I was greatly impressed last Sat-
urday by a conference on Careers in Commu-
nications sponsored by the New Orleans Chap-
ter of Women in Communications, formerly
Theta Sigma Phi .

The purpose of Women in Communications ,
according to Ms. Dana Stinson, Vice-Presi-
dent for Programs of the New Orleans Chapter,
is to broaden knowledge among members as to
careers and occurences in journalism for fe-
males. While they do some lobbying, says
Ms. Stinson, who looks like a girl high
school debator (definitely NOT a cut) with
nice legs, and who is also Assistant Editor
of Changing Middle South , this is not their
main purpose or activity.

The New Orleans Chapter held this seminar
to help college students get ideas on careers
in the communications field. This was their
second; the first was held last year.

The meeting began late; the Press Club,
whose facilities the women were using, failed
to open the hall early enough. There'were
several members there, about equally divided
between traditional -looking women, gals who
seemed to fit the stereotyped Women's Lib
image, and those who seemed to belong to
neither category. Ms. Stinson is not exact-
ly a Libber --- but she knows what her am-
bitions are and male chauvinists will find re-
pressing her most difficult. Nice smile, too.

She told me, as I followed her around with
a borrowed clipboard, that the field of com-
munications was "defintely" opening up to dis-
taff members . As for actual discrimination,
most if any is "not really deliberate"; and
regarding attitudinal discrimination, there
are "still a lot of men who feel that way"--
"that way" being the idea that there are
certain things women are supposed to do, and
no other(s). Sometimes, however, Dana pointed
out, being a woman can be an advantage; grouch-
es and curmudgeons will speak to\a woman where-
as they might not to a man; rioters will turn
courtly for a female, and cease throwing bricks
long enough to open a door before returning to
less chivalrous activities.

CARRYING CAMERAS

The conference opened with a film narrated
by Harry Reasoner. It was called "The Jour-
nalists". In it, Reasoner described journalism
as ";he perfect career for a man who can't stand
the idea of growing up and going out to work
for a living". The film described the field of
journalism as it involves the; young, women, and
minorities, and how journalists end up journa-
lists. It must be a good field for Reasoner,
he allegedly hauled down $200,000 the last year
he worked for CBS. He is now, of course, Howard
K. Smith's partner for ABC news.

The film was followed by a panel of four
people in the communications field, 3 men and 1
woman (infer your own inferences) , representing
the weekly press, the daily press, TV news, and
public relations work.

First was Joe Pewtely, who described the fun
(and the hassles) of weekly newspaper. He shoulc
know; he edits two. The weekly, he said, could

Page Nine

afford to be less rigid and less structured than
a daily; indeed, he rarely gave assignments, as
his reporters mostly operated as they saw
fit.

He was followed by Patsy Sims , of the
States Item and formerly Women's Editor of
the San Francisco Chronicle . Patsy looks
like a Libber, but she isn't --- entirely,
anyway. In contrast to Pewtely, who read'
his remarks, Patsy gave her picaresque pre-
sentation off-the-cuff, admonishing students
to get a higher degree, if higher degree
they get, in something other than journalism
She suggested that they try freelancing at
first, and that they work, especially when
younger, on many different newspapers. Her
one rule: observation, always observation!
She, too, noted the occassional advantages
to being a woman (someone else has to carry
the cameras, for one).

TRANSFER TO TEXAS?

Next was Bob Krieger, an irreverent former
professor now withWVUE-TV in New Orleans.
Krieger filled his remarks with tales of his
career, and also how he had "stumbled into
news by mistake"--- actually, it was due to
a practical joke played by a friend. TV
news, he stressed heavily, is lots of fun.
Also, the news departments of TV stations are
not looking for journalists per se. It can
be lucrative, too, with AFTRA making sure of
that, he said. It was he who mentioned
Reasoner 's purported 200 -G salary. And Bob,
too, mentioned the advantages of being a
woman. And he repeated Reasoner 's theme; he
told of the time his son asked if he were ever
going to grow up.

The concluding speaker was Larry Norwood,
a public relations man for South Central Bell
with a fascinating background. His first ex-
perience was at Baylor, where he collaborated
in the launching of a humor magazine. "The
humor was rather sophomoric, but that's okay,
because we were sophomores, too." The maga-'
zine was shut down after five issues. Indeed,
Baylor offered to send the responsible parties
to the University of Texas --- "where we'd
be more appreciated" --- and the Texas Baptist
Convention almost withdrew $11,000,000 from
Baylor due to the magazine (sound familiar
Taylor?) .

He got his first public relations job, it
seems, while shoveling wheat (and you thought
America was no longer the land of opportunity!).

Norwood considers a varied experience help-
ful . Also, he cautioned, "be prepared to
start at the bottom".

ON GETTING A JOB

After that, the talk got around to Getting A
Job In Journalism. Joe Pewtely noted that a
list of experience or of accolades (a scrapbook,
he called it) is not all that vital: attitude
is more important, he said.

Patsy Sims told students to have ideas when
they were interviewed for a job, have things to
want to do. Also, she said, have "samples" of
your work ---and never try to 'snow' an editor
as it cannot be done.

Norwood mentioned the importance of having
a good resume: who you are, your age, where
you can be contacted, and experiences (includ-
ing specifics), both in and out of iournalism:
"let him know you're qualified."

But, said Krieger, also let your prospective

employers know you're willing to leam.

That essentially concluded the conference. I
went up and spoke to Dana, Norwood, and Pewtely
afterwards. Larry thought I was hustling him
for a job (he had mentioned that both I and Jack
were dressed properly for an interview, at
which I asked him "Is that an offer?") and in-
vited us to stay and visit with his company
for a few days. Pewtely and I discussed the re-
lative independence of the weekly press (rather
great, in his case) .

After asking the. club's photographer for a
few prints, and getting the entire roll of '
negatives, and receiving a half box of Tastee
donuts and complimentary packet of information-
al leaflets, Jack and I left to see about crash-
ing at Loyola University. The conference had
made quite an impression. Journalism cer-
tainly appears to be a fascinating, never-
monotonous occuaption, potentially luc-
rative and always exciting.

It had been worth sleeping in a car
built for midgets .

Saturday, November 11, the alums gave a
cocktail party for the Chi Omegas at Luan
Stoker's home. The cocktail party was fol-
lowed by a kidnap Sunday night. The unsus-
pecting pledges were blindfolded, put into
a U-Haul trailer, and transported to Shreve
Island Park. There they were treated to hot
dogs, potato chips, toasted marshmallows ,
and rain. Everyone had a great time.

The Chi Onegas are looking forward to
their annual Barnyard Party this Saturday,
November 18, and they wish everyone a "Happy
Thanksgiving."

At the Monday night meeting the ZTA pledges
entertained their actives with a Thanksgiving
skit. Leta Scherer starred as the turkey,
Dana Johnson as the narrator, and Kay Giibrech
as Kay. The rest of the pledges played sup-
porting roles. A pancake supper will be an
additional goodie that the pledges are spon-
soring for the active members of ZTA. This
event will take place Sunday night, Nov. 19.

The ZTA Alumnae Can<-*v and Candle Sale was
Thursday the 16th. The Zetas wish to thank
everyone who patronized the sale.

"GRAN0PA?"

Monday, Nov. 13, the annual TKE Big-Little
Brother Paddle Party occurred. It has been
reported that everyone had a walloping good
time!

This Saturday night the ghosts of TKE's
long since dead 'n buried, as well as living
TKE's, dates, and guests, will converge at
the chapter lodge for a Graveyard Party. The
members who survive the night's festivities
will participate, or at least attend, the
TKE active-pledge football game (which was
postponed last Sunday) this Sunday afternoon
at 3:00 p.m. on Hardin Field.

The Order of Diana, composed of mothers
wives, and girlfriends of the members of Tau
Kappa Epsilon fraternity, has initiated three
new members. They are Susie Gates, Susan
Schaeffer, and Pattie Overstreet. Officers
for the year are Debbie Price, president;
Karen Anderson, treasurer; Linda Alagood,
recording secretary and Kathy Hickerson, cor-
responding secretary.

Last Sunday Kappa Lambda, a national clas-
sical club for Latin students, held its first
meeting of the school year at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. J. C. Curlin. After an informal
supper the officers for 1972-73 were elected.
They are Sara Kay Johnson, President, Jeff
Hendricks, Vice-President, Susan Fulton, Sec-
retary, and Janet Colbert, Treasurer.

western of Texas in the Gold Dome on Tuesday,
November 28.

FINAL REPORT

"We're definitely pointing towards one
ball game- -the opener against Southwestern
Texas." That's the word from Larry Little
and the Centenary basketball program at two
weeks and counting before the Gents ' first
game.

"We feel like we've got most of the con-
ditioning and teaching material behind us
now," said Little Wednesday in his Gold
Dome office, adding, "but we still have to
sharpen up on all phases of the game in
these last two weeks. The main focus of
our work now will be on specific game
situations --for example* jump balls, out-
of-bounds plays, stall games- -things like
that."

"Right now we're looking forward to our
intrasquad game this coming Tuesday since it
will provide us with our first opportunity
to play before the public this year." That
scrimmage is set for Tuesday, November 21,
at 7:30 p.m. in the Gold Dome.

With the opener against the Georgetown,
Tex. school drawing closer, naturally Little
has his club's first opponents on his mind.
"Southwestern is going to be an extremely
well-coached team. Billy Tubbs--an assistant
at Lamar University for a number of years --
will have his team ready. On top of that,
they will have already played four games be-
fore they come to Shreveport. That is a
tremendous difference- -I know we'll be bet-

TVo of the Gents ' opening month games
will come in the Shreveport Sports Foundation
Tournament on December 1-2 at Hirsch Coliseum.
"It's going to be an attractive tournament,"
Little allows, "There's going to be three
good clubs besides our own. SMU is looking
at one of its best teams ever. Tech will
look good as long as (Mike) Green is playing.
And Houston Baptist will be a good strong
ball club with good size and exceptional
shooting guards." Green, an ail-American
on a strong Tech squad last year, should be
a big attraction in the two-day tourney.

Little now says that, going into the
final drills that point to the 28th, the
field of 23 who took the floor for the
opening workouts has been narrowed down to
seven who are still battling for starting
positions --guards Melvin Russell, Milton
Home , and David Deets , Robert Parish
(Who else?) at center, and forwards Larry
Davis, John Hickerson, and Leon Johnson.
If Russell, Parish, and Davis should end up
in the starting five (and that's a pretty
good bet considering Russell has started
every game for the last two years , Davis was
the leading scorer and rebounder last year,
and Parish. .well?) , that would mean that
three former Shreveport- Wo odl awn players
would be carrying the Gents' banner. And
some people tried to make a big deal out of
it when Arkansas had only TOO former Knights
in the starting line-up.

Does Little want to make any predictions
about this anxiously awaited season? "I don't
like to talk in terms of numbers and records
before we've even played a game," says Little.
"It's very difficult to predict what our
record will be at the end of the season. I
don't even do that for my own benefit. But
I will say we're looking forward to improving

ter in our fifth ball game than in the opener-- on 0U A r . last /ear's performance

so that certainly applies to them also."

What's the scouting report on the Pirates?
"They're not a big club," offers little, "but
they've got real good speed. At this point
that's about all we know about them, but .
we'll have an opportunity to scout them be-
fore the game."

Little is very serious when he tplks
about what he expects of his club in the
early going. "We play seven games in Decem-
ber before Christmas --six of them at home.
This could be to our advantage if we're
ready at the beginning. And we've said all
along that we want to be ready at the begin-
ning."

"We are going to work extremely hard to
establish a tough homecourt reputation. This
not only depends on the players but also on
the fans- -I hope the students and tcv.iis people
will help us to show the enthusiasm that will
make opposing teams dread coming in here."

Going a little further on that point,
Little said, "We wish our student body and
faculty could realize the importance of their
support of the team. It's often the differ-
ence between a successful and an unsuccess-
ful club. Furthermore, we hope that we can
provide them with a brand of basketball that
will make us exciting to watch and something
for them to be proud of."

On the Magic Mountain

by Cherry Payne

This area is often faulted for a serious lack in
variety when it comes to radio. With twelve
stations, both AM and FM serving a fairly large
metropolitan area with an unusually
heterogenous group of people, radio seems
limited to "the bubble-gum top forty", country
and western, and elevator music, or, should I
say, cafeteria music (I would hesitatingly use
the term "good music"). Hard rock, folk music
and even classical music are oddities in this
area and only smatterings of these may be found
on the air.

K-ROK radio (94.5 FM) seems to be changing
the folk-rock picture. I recently had the oppor-
tunity to discuss with James Lynn, the program
director at K-ROK, and Ray Burgess of the
Magic Mountain Show (Sunday nights), some of
the problems the medium of radio is facing in
Shreveport and how K-ROK is attempting to
cope with these obstacles.

With such limited opportunities of variety in
music offered to Shreveporters by means of
radio, James repeatedly emphasized that
"Shreveport has got to be educated music-
wise." It is with this in mind that K-ROK does
its programming.

K-ROK is attempting to appeal to the twelve
to thirty year old age group and with this appeal
there is an attempt to gain a following to more
or less "grow up" with the station. Other radio
stations in the area, James noted, have done
precisely that and consequently have quite a
large following

K-ROK, as such, is not a new station. Until
May 1 of this year it was known as KWKH-FM
With the name change to K-ROK it seems fairly
evident, however, that an attempt is being made
to appeal to a specific audience in Shreveport.
K-ROK seems to be doing precisely that and
better yet, is offering the people of Shreveport
some alternatives to what they have been
listening As James noted, "We're trying to im-
prove the quality of radio in Shreveport for the
twelve to thirty year olds to give them a
choice."

James and the staff at K-ROK consider
themselves to be a service to Shreveport. "We
want everybody to think K-ROK is their radio
station. Whatever the people want us to do, if
it's any way feasible, we're going to do it,"
James noted. He spoke of there being too many
people in radio in ego trips who play only what
they want to hear and don't think of what the
audience wants to bear "K-ROK, I think I can
say this in all sincerity, is the only station that
really cares and does what the people really
want us to do." James continued. Evidence of
this may be found in the night-time program-
ming which has changed radically since the in-
ception of K-ROK last May.

Admittedly, not everyone can be pleased

Some of us would like to see more "progressive"
radio (such as the Magic Mountain Show), but as
James pointed out, most of the people of
Shreveport are simply not familiar with hard
rock and will not listen to music they are not
familiar with. K-ROK, then, attempts to blend
the type of music played by airing a combination
of top 40 and hard rock Gradually, more and
more hard rock and the like will be worked into
the program so that the uniqueness of K-ROK
vill be readily seen. "With the new music that's
-oming along you've got to have a blend and a
mix of the old and the new and just sort of tie it
all together, and it's a VERY difficult thing to
do," James maintained. Obviously, the
challenges are there. I asked James if K-ROK
would ever become completely progressive (I
suppose the question was more rhetorical than
anything else ) "I can't see us ever being totally
progressive all day long I don't think it would
survive unless the general attitude of the people
from twelve to thirty changed." Oh well.

Yet, the basic goal of educating the people of
the area to merely give them a choice is
gradually being achieved. And it is being
achieved through exposure The exposure may
be carried out by a horrible combination such as
The Partridge Family and Humble Pie back to
back, but at least the latter is given air time (I
think it's better than we've had before).
Gradually, it is hoped that the hard rock will
predominate over the bubble-gum music.

James noted, in fact this is already being
done "From nine to one at night on K-ROK the

Below, Sunshine Ray

music is very similar to Magic Mountain — the
basic difference is the length of the cuts." Right
now, most of the programming during the day is
aimed at the younger listeners, but by nine it
generally is directed toward an older audience.

Ray Burgess' Magic Mountain Show is
"progressive", however. Ray looks upon Magic
Mountain as a "progressive FM radio show with
the disc jockey responsive to the needs and
desires of the community" (Ray was the guy
passing around those petitions last spring).

My first exposure to the Magic Mountain
Show a couple of weeks ago evoked a VERY
positive response from me as I couldn't believe
it when I heard the original "White Rabbit" (the
long version ) by Grace Slick played WITHOUT
INTERRUPTION ! This is quite simply unheard
of in Shreveport. Ray approaches his show as an
art form. It is evident that he really gives it
some thought before he goes on the air. But
then, he also approaches music, and particularly
the music he plays, as an art form. He stresses
the need for artistic control and noted that
music must be "used as . an art form and as
an art form of communication. That's what it's
got to get back to — just got to."

Ray despises the commercialism in rock as
he noted that it prevents many groups from
growing. Yet, he stressed the need for
"professionalism" on the part of the musicians
and spoke disparagingly of the way many rock
musicians approach concerts by standing on the
stage and more or less "playing to themselves "
Ray believes that people are getting more and
more into what he calls "organic music." The
acid years have ended with the advant of organic
or natural music and "we don't have to get
stoned anymore." With the disc jockey
expressing feelings such as these, it is easy to
see that the Magic Mountain Show is quite un-
ique within the realm of Shreveport radio.

K-ROK is by no means perfect and I don't
think that anyone is able to express complete
satisfaction with the programming But when
one considers the task with which it is faced, an
excellent job is being done Personally. I expect
even more improvement over the next few
months if the attitude of the staff of K-ROK is
any indication of its anticipated maturity. For
as James Lynn stated, "When we get to be
number one we will have gotten there ONLY
because we did what the people wanted us to
do."

It should be noted that the two "number one"
stations. Top-40 KEEL and Soul KOKA, aren't
going to Lake the K-ROK threat lying down
KOKA. recently purchased by a group of
wealthy investors 'including Charlton Lyons),
still feature? weekend jazz programs, while
KEEL seems to be moving towards an increased
oldies format Stay tuned, radio lovers

THE CONGLOMERATE

December 1, 1972

Rnal Senate Meet

by Carol Bickers

The final meeting of the fall semester of
the Student Senate was highlighted by a de-
bate on the necessity of appropriating funds
for WRA uniforms .

Before the tabled motion concerning the
appropriation of $300 for WRA uniforms was
voted on, Treasurer Tom Guerin noted that the
three -member committee appointed to study
the matter recommended two -to -one against
awarding the funds. He went on to comment
that it was technically possible to appro-
priate the money, but that if funds were
given WRA other organizations could demand
money. Although this motion failed to carry,
the Senate continued to revote on amended
motions until it was finally decided to
appropriate $200.00 for WRA.

The Senate also moved to appropriate
$30 to buy bulletin boards for the cafeteria.
This action came upon request from Mr. E.J.
Williams that bulletin boards be purchased
for the purpose of posting messages in the
cafeteria.

At Tuesday's meeting President Rick Clark
announced that the Senate would sponsor a
two-day bus trip in February, to New Orleans
for the Centenary LSU-NO basketball game.
The $20 cost of the trip includes bus fare,
hotel accommodations and game ticket. The
bus will leave at 2:00 pm Friday, February
23, and return on Sunday, February 25.

In other action the Senate heard com-
mittee reports from Student Life and Edu-
cational Policies and Standards. Cindy
Yeast reported that Student Life was pre-
sently studying the Honor Court survey re-
ports. Dr. Fergal Gallagher noted that the
proposed class schedule change (all classes
would begin at 8:30) had been rejected. He
pointed out that the schedule was turned
down in part because it would have inter-
fered with afternoon activites.

The Senate's first meeting of the spring
semester will be held on Tuesday, January
30 at the Break in the Senate room in the
SUB.

All students who plan to graduate dur-
ing the Spring, 1973 semester must file a
degree plan on or before Dec. TTTwith the
Registrar's office.

Homecoming Prepa ration

The February 3 Homecoming Dance will be
held at the Captain Shreve Hotel.

The Senate passed a motion that the dance
be held in the ballroom, and Vice-President
Sandy Bogucki suggested that the Alumni As-
sociation might help in defraying some of the
expenses .

Homecoming committees have been appointed.
Chairing the following committees are: Co-
ordination, Rick Clark; Decorations, Jeff
Hendricks; Open House, Mark Greve; Dance,
Steve Holt; Luncheon, Rick Clark, Cindy Yeast,
and Holly Hess; and Art Work, Pat Norton.

Student Life Minutes

The Corrmittee on Student Life met in the
R. E. Smith Building at 10:45 a.m. Tuesday,
November 21, 1972. Members present were
Jeff Hendricks, Rick Clark, Sandy Bogucki ,
Cindy Yeast, Susan Bell, Taylor Caffery,
Fergal Gallagher, Mark Dulle, Robert Ed
Taylor, Webb Pomeroy, Shirley Rawlinson and
Eddy Miller.

Mark Dulle presented the results of the
questionnaire sent out by the Honor System
Investigation sub -commit tee. He expressed
some concern over the results.

There was a lengthy discussion following
the announcement of the results.

Sandy Bogucki made a motion to adopt an
honor system for visitation but withdrew it
untif other matters were cleared up concern-
ing the system.

It was announced that the Mardi Gras
holidays issue for this year was passed on
from the faculty to Educational Policy Com-
mittee although it did definitely pass for
next year's 1973-74 Mardi Gras and continue
as an official holidav in future years.

Joy Jeffers, secretary to Deans Miller
and Rawlinson, will undergo major surgery
today in Beaumont, Texas. She is expected to
be out a month. Naturally, the best wishes
of the College are hers for a successful
operation and a rapid recuperation.

Also today, the Rev. August Aamodt
moves to Soldatna, Alaska. The Rev. Aamodt,
a former Dean of Students for Centenary, will
be missionary to two churches .

Louisiana now has a law on the books which
requires a landlord to return a tenant's rent
deposit. The provision, of course, is con-
ditional on the tenant's fulfillment of his

or her obligations as a tenant.

Students of the world, arise! The Caf is
now serving hot breakfast until 8:30 Monday
through Friday, and until 9:00 on Saturday.
This is an extension of the previous 8:15
deadline .

Project A.C.C.E.P.T. , the service of assis-
tance to/for poverty-level alcoholics, an-
nouces that they have served one hundred twenty
four alcoholics in the last calendar quarter
through their five-phase program, which in-
cludes prevention as well as cure.

Young women are committing suicide more
often nowadays. Between 1960 and 1970, the
rate increased 20001 for women under twenty,
and more than tripled for women aged 20 to
30, according to the New York Times . Among
factors causing this, says Elizabeth Hard-
wick, author and critic, are guilt feelings
for not achieving happiness and fulfillment,
relative lack of material goods, and a striv-
ing for independence which, in failure, leads
to brutal aloneness.

Robert Huck the Senior, oft times beknown
as P.K. Bob, Monday observed his 30th birth-
day. Frank and Jesse James, co-proprietors
of White Circle Enterprises, presented Bob
with a Pizza Inn pizza (small jalepeno, onion,
and green pepper), complete (and replete!)
with 30 blazing candles. The Mozzarella
Monarch says he will save the gift.

Spring semester schedules are available in
the Registrar's office. There has been one
change (already?): Psychology 421 will be
offered 5:30 to 6:4 5 Tuesday -Thursday , not
Monday -Wednesday. Same room, same prof.

Christmas at the Library

Joan Adams of the Library Staff is again
arranging the Library Christmas decorations
and a new display of art books related to the
School of Music presentation of the "Nativity
According to St. Luke".

For special gifts for that special person,
the Library offers reproductions of Jean Des-
pujols' portrait of "Hieu" for $15. Samples
of this reproduction are hanging in the Libra-
ry and in President Allen's office. Dr. Arnold
Penuel's new book, Charity in the Novels of
Galdos , is on sale tor 54.50 a copy, including
autographing by the author. It makes an ex-
cellent gift for Spanish literature buffs and
just anyone who is concerned about the theme
of charity and Christian love. Reproductions
of the 1872 drawing of "A Bird's Eye View of
Shreveport", which hangs in Room 210 at the

Library, may likewise be purchased for $.50
each.

During the Christmas Holidays, the Library
will be closed on the weekend of December 16
and 17 and from December 21 through January
i.i It will be open from 8 AM to 4 PM on
December 18, 19, and 20 and on January 2. The
Interim Schedule will begin on January 3.

All books are due back at the Library on
December 7. Books needed after December 7
may be checked out to December 14. Cooperation
in the prompt return of all library materials
will be appreciated so that the books, the
library staff, and you can have a Merry Christ-
mas.

Another term is almost gone. The next

weeks will determine much for some, merely
reaffirm the inevitable for others. Re-
gardless, we have come together in an at-
tempt to grow and understand . Some have
succeeded more than others. Yet, each has
been able to make his pursuit as anindividual .

Recycle Those Old
Beercans Tomorrow

November 27th through December 4th is
National Jaycees Pitch -In Week. The week
is being combined, in Shreveport, with an
effort by several local groups called Re-
cycling Day, which will be tomorrow.

At three sites --- Shreve City, West-
wood, and Souths ide Village Shopping cen-
ters --- depots will be set up from 9:30
am to 3:30 pm with barrels for paper,
glass, and aluminum. All materials tossed
into the barrels will be recycled. The
Shreveport Public Works department is
donating the trucks needed for the opera-
tion.

It is hoped, according to Dr. Wayne
Hanson, the Centenary representative of
the Recycling Committee, that tomorrow's
activities will lead to a continuing opera-
tion, rather than mere periodic outbursts.
Dr. Hanson hopes that a huge turnout (or
turnin) Saturday will provoke a local
market for recyclables, the absence of
which is hindering recyclying efforts.

Volunteers to sort and unload are need-
ed for an hour each tomorrow. Those inte-
rested should call Dr. Hanson at S228.

With local officials fully co-operative,
he says, "all seems to be going very well."

Shaw on the Rocks

Due to an inordinate extent to the know-
ledge, leadership, and assistance of Dr. Nolan
Shaw, the Geology Department's recent trip out
West was quite successful.

It was Dr. Shaw who planned the wide variety
of locations throughout Oklahoma, Texas, New
Mexico, and Colorado which were of such great
geological interest. Too, it was Dr. Shaw
who, at each locale, supplied the exact infor-
mation concerning that spot, and who then put
questions to the students. Samples were taken,
labeled, and returned for continued examination.

is?)

Well one solution to our dilemma involves
the historical approach: Who wrote all
that stuff?

Stuff?

What stuff?

That stuff about courses for next semester.
You know, like Psychology 310-The excep-
tional Monkey. Who wrote it?

Is that stuff? Never heard of it. You
must've.

Me? Not me. I've been studying all

semester. I'll bet it was Ellen Murch.
You're kidding me -is she at it again.
That's what Vote for McGovern told me.

But who really wrote all that stuff about

sociology?
Whose sociology?
You're sociology.

That's not what I meant...
Who's sociology?
Your sociology.

It seems as if we're getting nowhere. I
simply want to know: Who's writing this
right now?

Not me. (By the way, nothing is simple.)
Nor I. (By the way, now is not.)

Who's, then? Who? Who? Who?
Who's who anywho?
Yeh, and how's now, hun, how?
It must be that cry in the wilderness.
Or, if you prefer, that shout in the
street .

But how can a shout and/or a cry write?
More right than not, I venture. Venus

Vent, Ventura. The Ventures.
On the whole, that it.

My God, I think-I feel I'm beginning to

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf ?

Wait: you can't do this. It's called

Panel Discusses
Deprived Children

In recent years the culturally -deprived
child has been a major concern of American
educators. At its mid-November meeting tfie
Centenary chapter of SLTA hosted a panel dis-
cussion concerned with the educational develop
ment of the culturally deprived child in .Caddo
Parish. Chairing the panel were Mrs. Scott,
an elementary teacher at Barret School and Mr.

.Ernest Williams, an American history teacher
and counselor at the School Away from School.

Mrs. Scott opened the panel by noting that
culturally-deprived children respond primari-
ly to love. In further discussion she point-
ed out that a teacher could communicate best

*vith a child through individual counselling.
By counselling individually with the cultural-
ly-deprived child a greater rappbrt could be
created. When communicating' with these
children, Mrs Scott stressed that the teach-
er should speak with an understanding and soft
voice.

With Title I funds from the 'federal govern-
ment Caddo Parish is developing a program to
.raise the educational attainment of high school
students. For example, the School Away from
SchoM is centered around helping high school
students who cannot participate in the normal
school curriculum to receive their diploma.
As in other phasing programs in the Caddo
School system, students "at this school work"
according to their own abilities.

Continued MSG Use
May Be Dangerous

Washington, D.C. -- Dr. John W. Olney, the
scientist whose research led to the removal
of monosodium glutamate (MSG) "from baby foods,
told a Senate committee recently that the
National Academy of Science (NAS) subcommit-
tee hearing clearing MSG for continued wide-
spread use in 1970 was an "industry arranged
white wash."

Dr. Olney said that MSG remains an ex-
tremely dangerous substance that could and
does cause brain damage from a single large
dose .

Olney claimed that studies performed on
monkeys revealed brain damage in every monkey
treated with MSG.

Olney pinned the responsibility for con-
tinued use of MSG on a NAS subcommittee which
concluded in 1970 that primates are not sus-
ceptible to MSG -induced brain damage, and
that brain lesions produced in rats could be
dismissed as an irrelevant curiosity. Aftei
the NAS report, the Food and Drug Adminis-
tration decided to retain MSG on its "general-
ly regarded as safe" list (GRAS) .

Olney charged that the three research
groups chosen by the NAS subcommittee per-
formed shoddy and scientifically unacceptable
work, and that two of the three groups in-
cluded no scientist with any prior neurologic-
al experience.

Hie decision to retain MSG on the GRAS
list was made too fast, Dr. Olney said, and
"had too many characteristics of an arranged
white wash affair."

Olney warned that many parents are unaware
of the potential hazards of MSG. A jar of
food that contains .6 percent MSG has one-
eighth to one.-half the amount of the substance
needed to. produce a brain lesion in an infant
animal equivalent to the size of a three-
month old infant human.

Local Citizens to
View fenal Reform

With prison riots becoming commonplace,
. with more and more released convicts com-
mitting further crimes, with potentially
rehabitable first-time prisonqjrs being turn-
ed into hardened criminals, our penal sys-
tem'is failing desperately.

• This, at least, is the view of a group
of local citizens determine^ to help cor-
rect that situation. Who is to blame, they
ask: prisons? convicts? society? the law?
inadequate funds? The time has come to find
out, the group insists.

Thus, on Tuesday, December 5th, at 7:30
pm, there will be a meeting in the Fountain?
bleau Room of Schumpert Hospital, 195 Margaret
Place. Among those attending to "share in-
formation and ideas" will be Dr. John Gra-
ham, Arnold Falk, Mack Wilson, who is State
President of Community Action for Corrections,
and Jim Stevens, who is Angola's Director of
Classification.

The public is invited. For more informa-
tion, call the Rev. John Welsh at 423-1608,
or Pat McDowell, 868-5002.

INSULTS AND SLANDER

To the Editor: ■ \S>

The following is a copy of a letter 1
have mailed to Mr. Jeff Daiell relative to
our recent letters published by the CONGLO-
MERATE.

Webb D. Pomeroy

November 28, 1972
Dear Mr. Daiell ,

On October 27 the CONGLOMERATE published
a letter which expressed my opinions and
understandings which apparently differed,
in part , from yours . You responded to my
letter with an emotional personal attack on
me, false accusations, distortions of what I
had written, and groundless slanderous in-
sults (CONGLOMERATE, Nov. 3). When I attemp-
ted to clarify the issues and our differences
in conversation with you and in another letter
(CONGLOMERATE, Nov. 10), you responded with
more attacks, falsehoods, and the most mons-
trous rhetorical slanderous insult I have had
directed at me during my twenty years at Cen-
tenary College (CONGLOMERATE, Nov. 17).

Mr. Daiell, if you view our communication
as a contest to see who can write the most
vicious, insulting personal attacks, I with-
draw. Further, my time is ill spent defend-
ing myself against falsehoods and insults.
Therefore, I challenge you to respond to any-
thing I have written without (1) saying I
have said something I have not said, (2) say-
ing I believe something I do not believe
(3) groundless insults or (4) groundless
slander (insults and slander grounded in fact
are excepted). If you can write such a letter

"....AND WE CALL TUIS OUR- GEM I US BOMB' IT CAN DO

rosin* -

morals, our religious tendencies, our poli-
tical outlook, even our aesthetic apprecia-
tions of art and music - the seeds of all
of these viewpoints are planted in us when
we are very young. Later, as young adults,
we may defend our morals or politics on
rational grounds , but in fact these views
are typically not a product of rational
decision making on our parts." Psychology
Today , Dushkin, publ , page 5.

In conclusion, I would never '•produce"
Dr. Einstein as one who "functions as a
rational human being." Dr. Einstein is
dead, and it would never occur to me that
a dead man functioned as a rational man, or
that a dead man is or is not insulted by
my letter. I still maintain that I can
produce a man who functions as a rational
human being (sometimes) who was not insulted
by my letter, and that Mr. Wright cannot
produce a "totally rational man" who was
insulted by my letter, there being no "total-
ly rational man." (Is being insulted being
rational?)

Webb D. Pomeroy
EXISTENTIAL NON EXISTENCE

To the Editor:

Now, I know full well that you make up all
which raises significant issues and differences the letters found it this column. Therefore,

of opinion, I will respond; but I refuse to
be further drawn into meaningless defense of
myself against personal attacks based on your
invention and false accusations.

Sincerely,
Webb D. Pomeroy

LOGIC 203

To the Editor:

It is difficult to understand or answer
Mr. Larry Wright's letters because he does
not use the relevant terms consistently nor
define them adequately. Therefore the read-
er is forced to guess at much of his meaning,
and when one guesses wrongly, Mr. Wright
responds to make it appear it is the read-
er's, not his own, fault.

In his most recent letter, (CONGLOMERATE,
Nov. 17) Mr. Wright seems to define the
term "rational man" as "a man who is rat-
ional in every aspect of his life," (Does he
mean rational "always" or "sometimes" in
every aspect of his life?) or as a "totally
rational man." Now, if, "a rational man"
(or, "anyone who functions as a rational
human being") is "a man who is (always) rat-
ional in every aspect of his life," then
the statement, "Dr. Pomeroy 's letter insults
anyone who functions as a rational human be-
ing .. .", may be true. However, it must
be noted that "anyone who (always) functions
as a rational human being" refers to an emp-
ty set, for there are no such persons, and
therefore, according to Mr. Wright's defini-
tion, the sentence is true in the same sense
the sentence, "All unicorns have a single
horn," is ture; there being no unicorns. If
the only "rational men" are those who are
totally rational", then there are no ration-
al men.

I strongly recommend two things to Mr.
Wright:

1. Logic 203.

2. That he ponder the following: '\Xir

I am quite aware that I, the author of such a
fabricated epistle, do not exist. The average
reader may balk at such a statement, but, af-
ter all, can any of you prove your existence?
So there.

One may ask, what is it like, this non-
existence. "Just fine," I reply. Really,
now, this is so existential, and isn't that
what everybody wants to be? The only more
existential thing I could do would be to
commit suicide, by simply forgetting that I
exist. There are a few philosophical prob-
lems that non-existence raises. Given "I
think, therefore I exist," does this mean
we who don't exist don't think? We have
written volumes on the subject if you care
to not see them. Or, since it '-s all arbit-
rary, what would happen if I suddenly existed
and everything else not-existed? It is a
sort of philosophical Mob i us band, and at
any moment I, or you, could find ourselves,
(or myself) existing or not existing. Rather
curious, isn't it?

Harry Haller
IN LOVING MEMORY

To the Editor:

I have noticed, in my weeks here at Centen-
ary, that almost everything around this place
is here "in loving memory or' someone. I got
two ideas from this:

One, that it's as monotonous as all get out.

And Two , ' that Americans are overlooking a
wonderful art form opportunity: insults in
stone.

For instance, General Patton could have
built an American War Museum "in sneering mem-
ory of Field Marshall Montgomery."

Turning to a more local possible set,
there could be a Jeff Daiell Memorial Chapel
dedicated "in righteously indignant memory of
Jeff Daiell by Dr. Webb D. Pomeroy", or may-
be an A]len Memorial Coeducational Dorm and
Campuswide Bedroom built by Centenary stud-
ents. w . _ , ,

THE CONGLOMERA'i'h

December 1, 1972

by Qece Russell.
Tou are cordially invited to attend Aunt
Marjorie's Theatre Happening, Monday December
4 at 7:30 pm. The Happening will be a series
of one -act plays that are being presented as
class projects. Hiere will be no admission
charge but donations will be accepted.
***

While reflecting upon this season, Mr.
Buseick expressed excitement for the upcom-
ing plays. He is looking forward to "The
Good Woman of Setzuan" and "Desire Under the
Elms" next semester. Also, Mr. Buseick for-
sees the development of a repertory child
ren's theatre company as being very success-
ful.

In the more immediate future, is the up-
coming interim course, 'The Theatre: A Ref-

lector of Social Issues." Hie playhouse will
center the activity related to this course
which will be taught by C.L. (Kip) Holloway,
Robert Buseick, Barbara Acker and Eddie Vetter.
The social issues that will be discussed are
homosexuality, alcoholism, war, gerontology,
race, drugs, and alienation. Plays will be
studied in conjunction with each of these
areas. These plays will include 'The Care-,
taker" and "No Exit" (alienation) , "Boys in
the Band" (homosexuality) , "Gingerbread Lady"
(alcoholism) , "Mother Courage" (war) , "The
Dutchman" (race) , and "The Connection"
(drugs) .

The interim course will also include a
production of "The Me Nobody Knows." Members
of the class will operate in various capaci-
ties in the producing of this touching and
yet very powerful play.

Port Players, a local theatre, is now show-
ing "The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man -in -the -

Moon Marigolds" by Paul Zindel, a Pulitzer
Prize Play and certainly one that should be
well worth seeing.

The play deals with Beatrice, a self -de-
structive woman and her two daughters , one
sensitive and intelligent, the other a small
minded tramp. In "Marigolds" Zindel relates
a few, emotion-packed days in the lives of
these conflicting characters.

Margaret Glenn heads the cast as Beatrice.
Her two daughters, Tullie and Ruth, will be
portrayed by Hardee Saurage and Rebecca Walk-
er, respectively. Completing the cast will
be Deana Bergwall as Nanny and Leslie Staser
as Janie Vickery. Richard King is directing
the production.

The show is to be produced November 30 and
December 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, and-9 af 8:00.
There will also be a matinee performance at
2:00 on December 3. Tickets may be reserved
by calling Port Players (425-3219). Adults

may be admitted for $2.50 and students for
$1.50.

Liquor for Keene State

The student senate a Keene State college
recently passed a resolution calling for an
on-campus "over 21" club in which alcohol
would be served. The proposition is expect-
ed to be presented to the president of the
college in about a month, then to be passed /
on to the college senate and finally to the
Board of Trustees .

The sentiment among the trustees is favor-
able to the proposal , according to David
Gagne, KSC student and Board of Trustees
member.

The Plymouth State College Student Senate
passed a similar proposal last year which
was tabled by the Board of Trustees. Debbie
Nuehauser, president of the Keene State Stu-
dent Council, reported that discussion bet-
ween PSC, New England College and the New
Hampshire State Liquor Comission has shown
the commission in favor of the on-campus
clubs .

"They see it as curbing drunken driving
of some college students," she said.

She also said that the commission favored
the "non-profit aspect of the clubs." The
money made in the clubs , according to the
current proposals, would help fund the stu-
dent unions of the two schools .

Sources at Keene State College say that
the only real conflict is where the pub will
be located, as there is some objection to

placing the club in the "already over-crowd-
ed Student Union building."

Possibly, this problem will be worked out
when the proposition is sent to the Student
Union Board prior to its ac -eptance or re-
jection by the college president.

Yeoman of the Guard'
Coming to Playhouse

Marjorie Lyons playhouse will host the
Savoyards of the Gilbert and Suillivan Society

Berkeley. Calif .- -Without any financial re-
sources to speak of, a group of college-age
men and women in Berkeley, California are re-
cycling a once -defunct 30 -room fraternity
house, turning it into a community facility
for the production and nationwide promotion
of fine films by students and film vision-
aries .

The Berkeley* Film House is an entire com-
munity devoted to film. Located within hail-

on what used to be a flousishing fraternity
row, it provides room and board at reasonable
rates for people involved in all aspects of

THE CONGLOMERATE

Lady Sings the Blues

by Pam and Michael Rosenthal
You may not be aware of it (the word gets
around slcwly) but blacks new comprise 40 per
cent of the American film-going audience.

Undoubtedly, the ramifications of this
have only begun to be felt, and already the
effect has been staggering. Superf ly has
outgrossed (financially) every other film for
nearly a month, and not one single production
in the recent black wave, from Shaft on dewn
to Blacula , has failed to yield a tidy pro-
fit.

There is nowhere near to proportional re-
presentation of black film critics, who are
sorely needed to sort out the whole business
from an inside perspective; so we think that
the first thing we should remark about Lady
Sings the Blues is that the largely black
audience in attendance when we saw it loved
every minute of it, cheering and hissing
and talking back to the characters on screen
the way audiences used to in the legendary
age of silent cinema.

Lady is based on Billie Holiday's auto-
biography, and for the first fifteen minutes
or so stays fairly faithful to its source,
tracing fin a marvelously tough, gritty style)
Billie f s progress from a 10-year-old clean-
ing girl in a whorehouse to a 15-vear-old
hooker. As soon as she reaches maturity,
though, the film abruptly switches gears.

One day, deciding that she has had enough
of the trade, Billie leaves a customer in his
longjohns, packs a suitcase, and saunters
across the street to a nightclub that is ad-
vertising for a dancer. Although she makes
a fool of herself as a dancer, a brotherlv
piano plaver at the audition encourages her
to sing, and she opens that evening . Too
ladylike to participate in the gross stage-
show- -singers are supposed to pick up tips
in their crotches - -she is almost booed off
the stage, when- -silence --an elegant .Mr.
Louis McKay presses a twenty-dollar bill in-
to her hand. Immediately, the audience cla-

Members get training in film, access to
professional equipment, and the financial
advantages of bulk film and equipment pur-
chasing, as well as contacts within the in-
dustry.

The house provides or will soon provide
production, processing, editing, screening
and distribution services, centralizing all
the facilities as independent filmmaker needs.

Although they will not begin film pro-
duction until January, the Berkeley Film
House is already running a University of
California extension class in 16mm. film-
and video tape -product ion , and conducts free
seminars for members. These deal with sound,
acting, and equipment for film plus docu-
mentary filmmaking.

Organizers of the Film House, however, are
not narrowly preoccupied with the production
side of filmmaking to the exclusion of the
practical problems related to film distribu-
tion and employment in the industry.

A personnel service is being established
and a national film distribution network is
being set up. Late this month, the Film
House will sponsor an experimental film com-
petition with a $500 first prize; the first
fifteen best entries will constitute the
group's introductory film distribution pack-
age. Prizes for the contest are to be funded
from gate receipts obtained by the Film House
from contestants' screenings .

Cut-rate film purchasing for members is
being made possible through the negotiation
of an Eastman Kodak distributorship. This al-
locs the house to undersell most retailers
in the area. Since the cost of film is about
60 per cent of the expense of making a fin-
ished movie, the economic bargaining power
which this ^roup of filnmakers wields enable
then: to reduce the overall costs of their
films by 20-50 per cent M off the top."

A primary general source of revenue for
the House currently is rent and board paid by

mors , applauds , and vies to give her the
largest tip. McKay hangs around after the
show with a gardenia and a dinner invitation,
and after a bit of guarded flirting, Billie
is whisked to a fancy downtown nightclub ,
and then to McKay's bed, where she coyly in-
quires how he likes his eggs .

Adversity has been conquered, a vocation
found, ridicule endured, success achieved,
love introduced, love scorned, love avowed
and consummated, all in about five minutes
real time, and maybe a few hours in the
fictional time in the film.

In her book, Billie described her meeting
with Louis McKay rather differently. It
seems that one night she noticed this hand-
some young man asleep at a bar, and a whore
picking his pocket. Billie told the whore
to leaver her old man alone --"He was no such
thing, of course, but what did she know?"
--gave McKay back his wallet, and later
brought him home when he took sick.

What's lost is not so much a result of the
telescoping of time, as a real whitewash of
emotional quality. The role-reversal in this
scene conforms to the most conventional of
Hollywood's sexual biases, while at the same
time sacrificing the strength, self-possession
and rugged integrity that are present through-
out Billie's book.

On screen, Billie is a fluttery, helpless,
totally "feminine" cp2ature, who succumbs to
junk whenever her man isn't around to pro-
tect her and keep her happy. Gone are the
succession of bastards who messed with this
tough, intelligent woman; they are all replaced
by the supercool and sympathetic Mr. McKay,
who is accorded a seeming universal deference
by black and white alike, taking care of
business for his woman. He is even credited
w-ith Billie's trademark, the gardenia in
her hair. The film implies not only that
she couldn't take care of herself, but that
she couldn't even try.

In short, Lady is not the story of Billie
Holiday at all . It is a classy, stylized, ex-
tremely well made show-biz flick, the likes
of which haven't been seen since the fifties
offered us such marvels as The Eddy Duchin
Story and A Star is Bom

The chief surprise of the film is Diana
Ross's performance as Billie, which is
always capable 3nd sometimes just short of
stunning, especially in the difficult scenes
where she is nodding out on junk. Apparent-
ly, Ms. Ross has been around a good deal more
than she ever let on. The only times her
energy flags, in fact, is when she is singing.
She tries very, very hard to imitate Billie.'s
inflections on every number, and all that
hard work is a little too evident; her sing-
ing is too strained and studied to generate
real power. On the other hand, the audience
in the theater not only applauded after every
number, but cheered her on during them ("I
hear you talking to me sister."), and their
judgment on this matter should carry at
least as much weight as ours.

Perhaps the black film wave is recapitu-
lating the history of the American cinema
from about 1950 on, indulging in the most ex-
travagant excesses of every genre that blacks
have been exposed to, getting it all out of
their systems in the offing. If so, we
have a good deal to look forward to. For
Lady Sings the Blues is not simply a carbon
imitation of the .tissue -thin backstage films
of yesteryear. It is one of the best tissue-
thin backstage films we have ever seen. It
isn't Billie Holiday, and that's a pity,
but there are a whole lot of worse ways they
could have gone about it. As Saturdav night
entertainment it can't be beat.

the 30-odd residents. In the future, house
memberships will be sold for $20 each, en-
titling purchasers to use the house's produc-
tion facilities.

A screening room now under construction
also will be a source of cash and a valuable
link to the community. Hopefully, the na-
tional distribution network will also bring
in money; a store offering all kinds of lit-
erature relating to film is also being
planned.

Even with all of these prospects, the
group still is not content: they expect to
undertake the production of films on assign-
ments for industry, government, and even the
home. Weddings may provide one source of
commissions .

Kenneth B. Belsky, the prime mover behind
this ambitious undertaking, is a 22-year-old
who until recently had been enrolled as a
film major at the University of California,
Berkeley.

Is Meat Fitto Eat?

WASHINGTON -- Along with rising meat prices
is mounting chaos in the regulation of meat
and poultry for wholesomeness , safety and
purity. Under the Wholesome Meat and
Poultry Acts, the U.S. Department of Agri-
culture is supposed to advance these objec-
tives. Instead, pro-industry USDA officials,
industry lobbyists and state officials strug-
gling to block federal inspection have de-
vastated many applications of these cruical
sonsumer protection laws. Here is a list of
abuses which numerous dedicated USDA meat
and poultry inspectors are deeply concerned
about. They are finding support for these
concerns, not from their political bosses,
but often from General Accounting Office
(a Congressional agency) investigations of
USDA.

1. Filthy or contaminated meat and poul-
try can be a carrier of at least thirty hu-
man diseases including brucellosis, hepatitis,
trichinosis, staphylococcus and salmonellosis.
Many of the 2 million salmonella food poison-
ing cases, which cost the nation more than
$300,000,000 annually in medical costs and
lost labor, are linked to such contamination.
Some of these diseases afflict workers at
meat packing plants (brucellosis for example)
in addition to consumers. Even when U.S. in-
spection is working without corruption, ha-

— ssment or apathy, the 'U.S. Inspected"
stamp does not mean that there has been a
bacteriological monitoring of the fresh meat
and poultry from slaughter to retail sale.
Although the products are scanned for dis-
ease, there is no effort to check bacteria
levels .

2. Chemical residues from the use of
pesticides, nitrites, hormones, antibiotics
and other ingredients of the chemical alpha-
bet soup are continually ignored by producers
and processors and a passive government de-
spite increasing health risks such as cancer
and birth defects. Other long-term adverse
effects on health are uncharted and there-
fore assumed not to exist. The average con-
sumer ingests about 5 pounds of chemical ad-
ditives each year. Meat -- because it is

at the end of the food chain and because
drugs, preservatives and coloring agents are
now a staple of the feedlot and processing
companies -- is a major source of chemicals
in the human diet.

Consumers ingest more pesticides from the
meat they eat than from any other commodity.
Two lawsuits by environmental and consumer
groups ask the government to ban the cosmetic
uses of sodium nitrite in bacon, hotdogs, ham
and other processed meat and prohibit all
uses of the synthetic hormone and fattener --
diethylstilbestrol -- in cattle.

The elaborate details of these and other
food struggles are described in a new book,
Sowing the Wind by my colleague Harrison Well-
ford. He also documents and evaluates the
role of the U.S. Department of Agriculture
in setting standards which supposedly deter-
mine the amount of water allowed in hams and
poultry, the level of fat in hamburger, hot-
dogs and corned beef, even the number of
hairs and insect remains in canned meat. The
influence over these standards by industry
lobbyists and lawyers is great. The consumer's
interests are little represented.

New Findings on
Sounds We Miss

by Richard Scheider (AFS)

What is noise? bouJWZ No, poise is
pollution- -too much souncL The word itself
comes from the Latin word tor nausea. It
produces sickness in the body.

The human ear initially functioned as a
warning device to tell early man of impend-
ing danger. But the sense of hearing in
modern man has never evolved from that pri-
mitive function. Hence, when the ear is
bombarded with noise, the body tenses into
a state of readiness.

This reaction is automatic and involun-
tary. When it occurs, alert mechanisms
cause four major reactions in the body:
the arteries constrict, the heartbeat in-
creases, the eyes dilate (causing headaches
arid the stomach secrete excess acids .

Reserach shows that eardrums do not be-
come "numb" and adjust to a constant noise
source, such as one might find on noisy
jobs. Loss of hearing, strangely enough,
does not come with age, but rather with
a gradual disintergration of cells in the
hearing system. Noise causes that break-
down.

In a typical industrial situation, or
any other with a constant noise background,
the body is poised in a constant state of
readiness, alert for danger that isn't
there. The stomach is over-active, the
eyes are dilated, the arteries tighten up,
placing a strain on the rapidly pumping
heart. After a period of time the tense-
ness can take its tcTl in the form of heart
attacks, hearing loss, strokes anH ulcers.

Sounds , above and below the range of
the human ear, also have strange effects
on life. Scientists are just beginning to
understand the effects of ultrasonics and
infrasonics on human ears.

Ultrasonics are above the human hearing
range. The waves are used for cleansing
tissue, treating diseases, and for knife-
less surgery. Medical' authorities , however,
now warn against aiming ultrasonic sound-
waves at the brain, reproductive organs,
vital nerve centers, eyes, Heart and other
areas of the body. Today, warning signs
are posted near the thousands of commercial
ultrasonic quick-cooking ovens telling
persons with heart pacemakers to stay away.

It is in the realm of infrasonics, be-
low the human hearing range, that the most
frightening effects of sound have been ob-
served. Sound engineers are aapable of
building equipment that can generate these
powerful low frequency sounds. In one ex-
periment, researchers blasted an infra-
sonic "whistle," but had to turn it off as
fast as their reaction time would allow.
The entire building shook and the sound-
waves caused the internal organs of all the
people in the building to jostle about.
Everyone in the building was sick for hours
after the experiment.

One key to the noise dilemma seems to lie
in legislation. Boulder, Colorado, a far-
thinking community , has enacted an anti-
noise ordinance and unlike many other cities
which have done the same thing, Boulder en-
forces its law. The town has its own noise
abatement officer, and tickets are issued to
offenders, mostly motor vehicles. Noise le-
vels have dropped in Boulder.

Other methods for controlling noise in-
clude strict regulation of industry, a prime
noise producer, or even such simple ideas
as the planting of trees and shrubs in
cities .

Noise is a killer. It takes the lives of
those who don't even know it. Slowly and
methodically, noise destroys our ability to
hear. Yet it continues when it should not be
tolerated.

Book Review

THE GREAT AMERICAN FOOD HOAX

by Sidney Margolius, reviewed by:
Elinor Houldson, (AFS)

The Great American Public is finally
working up ^ resistance to the Gross
National Product. One of the largest
chunks of middle -class income goes for
food) and here, in very readable form,
is a manual of consumer self-defense.

The Great American Food Hoax explains
how to perform various kinds of shop-
ping lege re -de -main like getting $27
worth of food for $17. Sidney Margolius
makes itemized comparisons of food costs
based on differing shopping techniques,
and advocates emphasizing larger sizes,
sale items, substitution purchases, and
basic rather than convenience items.

Margolius brushes up your consumer
arithmetic in several of his chapters:
"How You Can Pay Ten Times More for
Ordinary Food," "Three Bites of Meat -
the Real Price of Ready-to eat Dinners,"
"The Modern Woman's Bag: A Convenient
Cooking Pouch," and "Price Juggiers or
Genuine Specials."

Then there's 'The Magic Abacus of the
Meat Packers:" "fat franks and wet
bologna." Franks and* lunchmeats are per-
mitted to have up to 30 percent added water.
Actually the USDA has found samples contain-
ing up to 51 percent fat. "All Beef" and
"All Meat" weiners have that extra 30 percent
fat, 10 percent water, plus corn syrup, fla-
voring and preservatives. Actually, plain
franks with their added nonfat milk solids
and cereals , yield more protein at lower
cost .

As for that nice red hamburger, it can be
run through the grinder several times to blend
the fat with the lean, it can be colored with
beef blood (often in the form of juicy blood
clots in the fat) , and the color can be pre-
served by adding paprika. Added pork scraps
can make the hamburger dangerous to eat "rare"
as pork requires thorough cooking.

Poultry gets an ice-water bath before free-
zing, and the retained water is legally 8 per-
cent, but often runs higher. If you buy two
broilers a week you may be paying $25 a year
for the water. The best buy is whole, fresh
chicken, half broilers , thighs and wings .
Breasts and drumsticks are priced at whatever
they can be sold for.

The bread chapter explains the constant
price increase: price- fixing conspiracies,
the varieties -- a hundred and fifty or so,
distribution costs (having several bakeries
deliver to the same store each day). The
"balloon bread of the West Coast and the Eas-
tern fluffy /puffy breads give the illusion of
size because a pound loaf is baked in a pound -
and-a-half pan. Plain white bread doubles in
price when sold as hotdog rolls or hamburger
buns. Specialty breads, sold at premium prices
might contain one-sixth to one-half an egg in
a loaf of "egg bread," a pat-and-a-hal f of
butter in "butter bread," or a third of an
ounce of potato flour in "potato bread."

There are many other useful insights and
references concerning sizes, grades, standards,
packaging, invented breakfast drinks and
those flaked-puf fed-shaped-sugared- flavored-
colored cereals constantly hawked on kidvid.

With over 200 pages of tips gathered into
one pockets ized book, Margolius has attempted
to arm shoppers with self-defense information.
For those not ready to plug money leaks, he
advises participation in a consumer union or
co-op market .

In good groceries and markets, store per-
sonnel do not hesitate to explain coded "pull
dates," and willingly interpret the manufactur-
ers' claims to the customer. By choosing a
retailer that is truly interested in the con-
sumer, the customer can afford to be less
cautious in making purchases.

THUS ENDETH

by Jeff Daiell
It was the best of times, it
was the worst of times, it was
the age of wisdom, it was the age
of foolishness , it was the epoch
of belief, it was the epoch of
incredulity , it was the season
of Darkness, it was the spring of
hope, it was the winter of des-
pair. -Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
T 'fliile in many respects , the semester we

are about to conclude was a typical Centenary

term, in many it was different, and in some

radically so.

This was the semester of The Dorm Protest,

as students disgruntled with the decision of

President John H. Allen to drastically reduce
permissible hours of opposite sex visitation
in the dormitories circulated petitions,
held rallies, staged panty raids, and finally
achieved a compromise with Dr. Allen by work-
ing through the channels of the Student Sen-
ate and the Student Life Committee. The con-
troversy raged and simmered for seven weeks,
during all of which it was the prime campus
topic.

All but ignored were personnel changes
which saw Warren Levingston become Director
of Admissions, Mac Griffith take over as Dir-
ector of Alumni, and Ronald Stephens named
as Assistant Comptroller.

There was another election on campus ,
this one for Senate posts. The final tabu-
lation saw MaryJane Peace and Joey Lacoste
inaugurated as Frosh Senators while Holly
Hess became the Juniors 1 female Senator,

The term also saw Tom Musselman and Jeff
Daiell guest on KWKH's Party Line for 90
minutes of controversy concerning politics.

More politics came to Centenary with Reid
Buckley, a Forums speaker who defended the
"conservative" point of view in Hurley audi-
torium. He was followed shortly thereafter
by Anthony Burgess, who explained the meaning
of his bestseller A Clockwork Orange .

That weekend, of course, was the weekend
that high school students came in a group of
some 175-200 as part of Centenary's High
School Weekend, one which thankfully turned
out most successfully.

It was indeed a semester to fit the des-
cription of Dickens. Most of all, it has been
an act any semester will be hard pressed to
follow. But, the next, and each one after
that, will no doubt try. They always do.

If Martians attacked the Russians,
whose side would we be on?

There's only one answer:

We're all on this thing together.

Even if we don't get along with some na-
tions, we've got to deal with the great problems
thataffect all nations: not Martians but pollution,
population, trade barriers, restricted freedoms
to travel, war.

They're just too big and too urgent for even
the strongest nations *o solve alone.

One way to develop solutions is by getting
together with nations we are friendly with . . .
some of our European allies and other autono-
mous democracies.

In the next session of Congress, a resolution
will be introduced calling for a convention of del-
egates from the most experienced democracies.

This Atlantic Union Convention will explore
the possibilities of forming a workable federation
of democracies, geared to finding and imple-
menting practical solutions to our mutual
troubles.

By utilizing the individi strengths and
talents of each free nation, we can begin to set
things straight on the only world we've got.

We can pull the peoples of the world togeth-
er by solving the difficulties we face together.

The concept of a federation of autonomous
democracies is not new. Beginning in 1939 with
Clarence K. Streit's non-fiction best-seller, Union
Now, it has won the support of such diverse^
leaders as Robert Kennedy. Barry Cold^
Hubert Humphrey, Richard Nixon anj
George McGovern among others.

President Kennedy described it this way:
"Acting on our own by ourselves, we can-
not establish justice throughout the world. We
cannot Insure its domestic tranquility, or provide
for its common defense or promote its general
welfare, or secure the blessings of liberty to our-
selves and our posterity. But, joined with other
free nations, we can do all of this and more . . ."

Unfortunately there are people in this coun-
try who are against our simply participating in
the Atlantic Union discussions.
So we need your support.

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is one of
those groups that's been around the frin-
ges for years without ever building up a
strong image in the public mind. They
were one of countless country/folkrock
bands around L.A. in 1966, and though
they included Jackson Browne at the time,
put out a basically fine album, and even
had a fair sized hit single called "Buy
For Me the Rain," nothing happened.

They've had three albums since then and
built up a following of sorts, but never
really broken through. Until now. Their
new album, a 3 -record set called Will the
Circle Be Unbroken (UA 9801) is, as usual,
unlike anything they've done before. It's
also a smash hit, having sold 25,000 in
the first month of release, which is like
75,000 for a single album.

It's a concept album, and one that ful-
fills their lifelong ambition to play real
country music. What they did is round up
all the legendary Nashville country stars
who would consent to being involved, take
them into the studio, and have them recut
their classic record with the Dirt Band
playing along, and the whole thing done on
acoustic instruments to help create the at-
mosphere of a friendly backporch jam.

Among the living legends who agreed to
appear on the album were Earl Scruggs , Roy
Acuff, flother Maybelle Carter, Doc Watson,
Merle Travis, and Jimmy Martin. They were
joined by dobro player Norman Blake, who
has worked in the Nashville studio bands of
Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash, and Beecher (Bash-
ful Brother Oswald) Kirby, one of the most
famous members of Acuff 's Smokey Mountain
Boys, as well as a sensational young fiddle
player named Vassar Clements , who does
astounding things with the old standard,
"Orange Blossom Special."

Despite initial fears , there were no
friction between these bastions of Southern
conservatism and the long-haired Dirt Band,
once the basic affinity of their approach
to music became clear. The songs on the
album, like "You Are My Flower," "I Saw the
Light," "Wabash Cannonball," "Honky Tonk
Blues," and "Wildwood Flower" and the title
number, are all well-known country -tradition-
al standards. While the original classic
recordings are in little danger of being
topped, it has been generally conceded that
this group did about as well as any human
being had a chance of doing.

While perhaps not as important to musi-
cologists as the old Carter Family 78s some
of these songs once appeared on, this set
has already achieved historic importance
for bringing together these legendary fig-
ures , many of whom has never met or played
together before. The Nashville Tenessean's
prestigious music section hailed the album
as "one of the most important recordings in
the 45 years of the Nashville music business."

Pretty strong language, but justified, I
think. What the album does is solidify the
bridge between country music and the young
(or "rock") audience, that bands like Com-
mander Cody and Asleep at the Wheel have al-
ready begun building. Whick, like any new
source of vitality, can only strengthen and
improve the music. Whether or not the fusion
goes any further, this is an important al-
bum by an" standard and absolutely essential
to any far. of traditional country music.

On October 31 the Alpha Xi Dleta actives
were led on a treasure hunt by their pledges.
The clues used to find the valuables took the
spooked actives all over the campus and fin-
ally to the flag pole near the entrance to
the college. This was the location of the
treasure wiich turned out to be invitations
to a Halloween party at the sorority lodge.
Once at the lodge the pledges entertained the
actives who munched on such goodies as pop-
corn and caramel apples .

The actives had their fun on Fri., Nov. 10,
when they kidnapped the pledges. They took
the unsuspecting girls to cars, placed pillow
cases over their heads , and drove around
Shreveport exhibiting the strange spectacles .
After being deposited and told to count to
100, the pledges discovered that they were be-
hind Shakey's Pizza Parlor. The embarassed
girls recuperated from their surprise while
eating pizza provided by the actives.

Sunday, Nov. 12, the Alpha Xi Delta and
the Theta Chi pledges hosted a steak dinner.
The dinner was held at the lodge and the
steaks were cooked by the Theta Chi's. A
band whose members were Theta Chi pledges
provided the dinner music.

Mrs. Robert Blackburn, a member -at -large
on the Alpha Xi Delta National Council, vis-
ited the chaptev - 'ov. 12-15. The chapter was
pleased and honored to have had a visit from
her.

Nov. 20 Mr. McCary of Shreve City Jewel-
ers presented a program about diamonds to the
chapter. Mr. McCary showed slides demonstrat-
ing how diamonds were mined and cut. Then he
displayed samples of various rings, including
the engagement, the wedding, and the all -occa-
sion rings. After the program tea and dough-
nuts were served.

The Alpha Xi's held their last meeting of
the fall semester Nov. 27. During this meet-
ing the Christmas tree was decorated in pre-
paration of the Christmas party Friday, Dec. 1.

The officers for the remaining part of the
school year are: President, Trisha Augustin;
Membership Chairman, Yolanda Gonzalez; Asst.
Membership Chairman, Eileen Kleiser; Treasur-
er, Jane Silvey; Panhellenic Representative,
Eileen Kleiser; Junior Panhellenic Rep.,
Becky Runnels; Corresponding Secretary, Becky
Runnels; Recording Secretary, Debbie Cox;
Historian, Becky Bourgeois; Journal Corres-
pondent, Becky Bourgeois; Philanthropy, Deb-
bie Brock; and Pledge Trainer, Eileen Klei-
ser.

On Saturday morning, Nov. 18, the Chi Om-
ega pledges kidnapped the actives. After a
long, wet walk down to the lodge, the act-
ives were fed a huge breakfast to start the
long day that ended with the Barnyard Party.

The Chi Onega's are very happy to announce
the pledging of Susan Fulton last Monday
night .

****

The Zeta's are getting in a festive mood
for their Christmas party. They plan to dec-
orate their lodge for the holiday season and
then go caroling.

The pancake supper given by the Executive
Council of ZTA, not by the pledges as pre-
viously stated, was a big success. Everyone
left the lodge with a full, if not more than
full, stomach!

Kappa Alpha plans to enjoy the last (?)
eventful weekend of this semester. Thursday
night started off the weekend with their
Christmas party. The Tulane-LSU football
game at New Orleans will be their highlight
of action for Saturday. By Monday they will
be ready for serious studying, or at least

serious sleeping!

The active chapter of Kappa Alpha is pleas-
ed to announce the initiation of Jim Cotter
of Shreveport, La., Dave Krowles of St. Louis,
Michigan, and Randy Stevens of Garland, Ark.

The Kappa Sig's will have their Christmas
party after the Basketball Tournament Sat.,
Dec. 2. The officers for the spring semester
will be announced at that time.

On Dec. 6 the chapter will have its annual
Christmas party for the crippled children at
the Shrine Hospital.

The TKE's will be having their Christmas
party Sat., Dec. 2, at the Northwood Country
Club. Before the dance the chapter will go
to the Holy Angels School for the Retarded
for caroling.

Hie chapter congratulates the Centenary
Gents for their first game of the season,
and wishes them the best of luck in all the
upcoming games.

. On Friday, November 17, the Fifth annual
Sweetheart Party was held by the Theta Chi's
at the Progressive Men's Club.

On the agenda was the selection of the
best pledge from last semester. The award
was presented to Bob Owens. The main event
was the selection of the Sweetheart for
1972-72. The nominees were Misses Angela
Capella, Karen Pulleyn, Missy Moore, Jimmie
Edgar (retiring Sweetheart) ,' and Mrs. Jewel
Arrington Morse. Mrs. Morse was selected
as this year's reigning Sweetheart.

In spite of adverse weather, there was
a good crowd and everyone had fun. Special
guest was Delta Alpha alumnus Gerry Brock-
well who favored the event with his rendi-
tion of "The Ruptured Rooster."

Abounds Here in the
Language Department

The Foreign Languages Department at Cen-
tenary has seen some difficult times in re-
cent months due to faculty cuts and so forth.
However, four languages are presently taught,
a basic rundown of which follows:

Die deutsche Fakultat hier an Centenary
ist nicht sehr gross, aber sie ist sehr inter-
ressant! Letzte Jahr hattenwir zwei Pro-
fessoren, Frau Bissell und Herr .Watts. Nun
es gibt nur Herr Watt^, denn Frau Bissell
heiratete den "fern farmer from Florida,"
wie jederman wisst. In deutsche Klassen
hier wir lernen nicht nur die deutsche
Sprache; wir sprachen auch an die
deutsche Lebensweise. Manchmal sind
Klassen sehr lacherlich.

En el departamento^de Espafiol hay un
profesor nuevo este ano. Se llama Dr. Arnold
Penuel. El se encarga de ensenar todos los
diferentes niveles de espanol . Esto toma
bastante trabajo porque contrario a lo que
mucha gente cree hay personas que todavia
toman esparto 1 como su materia mayor y tambien
persons que toman el espanol como requisito
para otros titulos. La senora Bissell, des-
fortunadamente, no regresso este ano a ensenar
porque se casd con un senor que es un "fern
farmer from Florida", pero ella no ensenaba
espanol. Esta escuela es muy afortunada en
tener un profesor como el Dr. Penuel . Le

Bare- Handed Surgery

How would you like to have a delicate eye
operation performed by a man who isn't a sur-

feon, or even a doctor, and in fact hasn't
een r.o School beyond the third grade? In
the operation, he uses no mask -and -gown, no
antiseptic technique, no anesthetic, and no
instruments --only his bare hands. They are
not under his control, however, because he's
in a trance. Strangely enough, hundreds of
Americans and Europeans have made trips to
the Philippines to be operated on by such
"spirit" healers. And more strangely, the
operations have usually been successful!

At the October meeting of the California
Society for Psychical Research, Robert Voelks
presented a firsthand account of the Filipino
espiritiste healers. Voelks, who holds a
degree in psycho logy , went to study the
healers and ended up joining them. He spent
six months in the Philippines observing hun-
dreds of operations at close range. He took
hundreds of slides and movies of operations,
made notes, talked with healers, lived with
some of them, and later apprenticed himself
to David Oligane, whom he regarded as the
best of those he had met.

With his movies and slides, Voelks pre-
sented the complicated story of the espirit is-
es. *<cst of the healers come from a minority
language group, Illicano. (Tagalog is the
national language, although most Filipinos,
including the healers, speak some English.)
Also the espirit istes are a minority Pro-
testant group in the predominantly Catholic
Philippines. Most of the healers are deeply
religious and they think of their healing
as one of the "gifts of the Spirit" promised
in the New Testament.

However, one of the most popular healers,
Tony, with whom Voelks stayed for six weeks,
has no religious connections. Voelks believes
he is to some extent a fraud, now that he has
become corrupted by American money. The
only similar spirit -healing phenomenon is in
Brazil, where the espirit istes use a mixture

of Catholic, Voodoo, and Indian terms.

A healer begins his training by rearrangi-
ng his life so that he prays and meditates
for an hour out of every three throughout
the day and night. After doing this for a
few weeks, he starts hallucinating, hearing
things , and has the experience of leaving
his Lody. This is called astral projection.

It is in the astral state that they get
their instruction. A student healer during
an out-of-the-body trip finds himself in a
room full of surgical gear. It is like a
hospital room, although, as likely as not,
the student has never been inside a modern
hospital. He is given careful instruction in
the use of this equipment. (This part of
the trip reminds me of the "night classes"
that American doctors with strange psychic
abilities described to Shafica Karagulla in
her book, Breakthrough to Creativity .)

Back on the earth plane, the healer does
not use any medical equipment at all, al-
though it seems as if his hands are manipu-
lating unseen instruments. For instance,
Voelks has been initiated into the use of a
technique called "injection." He makes
movements through the air as if he is hold-
ing a gigantic syringe. He says that the
sypringe acts on the spirit body of the
patient, but it will actually make a visi-
ble hole in the patient's flesh, and, if
you hold a piece of paper in front of the
syringe, a tiny hold will appear in the
paper.

The healer makes the incision for the
operation merely by moving his right hand in
a straight line about six inches above the
patient's body where the incision is to be
made. The flesh beneath the moving hand
opens up just like a zipper. Closing is
similarly done with the left hand. There
are usually no scars left after these incis-
ions .

All kinds of operations are done. The
patient merely gets up on a bare wooden table,
takes off any clothing necessary for the oper-
ation, and the healer goes immediately to
work. In the same room, earnestly watching
the operation, are those who are waiting their
turn. If they have any doubts, the experience
of seeing several operations usually allays
them.

Tumors are removed, organs are moved around,
and foreign matter is removed, including ob-
jects of witchcraft. And most of these opera-
tions take ten minutes. The patient gets up
from the table and walks away.

Some operations require multiple treatments.
For instance, a Chicago woman with partial
body paralysis had an inoperable brain tumor,

according to her doctor. David made the same
diagnosis, but said she could be cure through
a daily series of total body operations over
a peiod of Several weeks . She submitted to
the operations and was completely healed. Her
case has been studied by several doctors who
are shaking their heads in amazement.

Voelks has observed hundreds of operations
and followed up in detail 40 cases. Thirty-
eight of the 40 (including an operation for
diabetes on his mother) were completely suc-
cessful .

Voelks is going back for more instruction
in December.

Consumer News

by Anne Cotton

Have you ever known anyone who got all the
money he was promised in a chain letter?
Probably not. This scheme was banned by the
United States Post Office in the 1930 »s'.

But it's back in business. It has a dif-
ferent look now and the offer doesn't come
through the mail. But the promise of money
is greater. It's called "multi-level dis-
tributing" or "pyramid sales"

Several such schemes have been very active
in Louisiana. Everyone would like to have
wealth with little work, so the idea is ap-
pealing to a multitude of people.

This is how it works. The firm or company
advertises through newspapers and word of
mouth. The intention is to persuade as many
people as possible to join its sales force.
Generally the promoters of such a program
hold opportunity meetings in order to intro-
duce the program.

The pattern of such an operation generally
contains these features:

1. An initial fee is required to join or
invest in the program as part of the
sales force. Cash only is accepted.

2. For this initial investment that may
range from $100-55000 (depending on
what level the investor joins) the in-
vestor receives the product to sell

or for an agent under him to sell.

3. When the investor brings someone else
into the program he gets a "finders
fee".

So as you can see, the idea is not to sell
the product, but to sell the program to other
people. The way to big money is to increase
the number of distributors under you.

The reason it is called pyramid sales is
the geometric progression of people which oc-
curs. Let's see what happens when one person
sells a distributorship to six friends and
carry this six steps. Supposedly this in-
volves over 45,000 people - these people are
sellers.

2 36

4 1,296

5 7,776

6 46,656

This pyramid chart quickly tells you that
with all these sellers there are few buyers.
There are few cities in Louisiana with 45,000
people. Remember a great percentage of any
population is made up of children who are not
in the market for the product offered.

The Governor's Office of Consumer Pro-
tection has received several complaints
on such schemes and many inquires. We
recommend that if contacted to invest in
such a program you should contact a law-
yer, our office or the Better Business
Bureau before investing.

The State of Louisiana now has a toll
free telephone, number 1-800-272-9868.
You may also call 389-2525 if you live in
Baton Rouge. The address of the office is
Post Office Box 44091, Baton Rouge, Louisi-
ana 70804.

Gentlets Race by Grambling
In Tuesday Dome Opener

J by John Hardt

After an opening night loss Monday to Northeast in Monroe, 94-81, the Centenary Jayvees
of Coach Riley Wallace raced by the Grambling Kittens, 93-75, to post their first victory of
the season Tuesday night in the Gold Dome. Guards Nate Bland, Barry McLeod, and Stan Welker
led the Gentlets 1 offensive showing while Rick Jacobs, Cal Smith, and Welton Brookshire had
strong showings on the boards.

The Gentlets started slowly Tuesday with
only Bland's hot hand keeping them in the
game in the early going. Midway through the
first half the Kittens held a 21-19 lead, but
the Jayvees got their fast break working and
moved out to a 33-24 lead with 6:30 left in
the half.

After taking a 48-38 half-time lead, the
Gentlet fast break broke the game open at
the start of the second half by scoring 8
straight points to give them a 56-38 lead.

Bland led the Gentlets' scoring with 25
points, mostly on outside jumpers. Playmaker
McLeod banged in 19 and passed out 9 assists.
Welker added 17 points. Rick Jacobs scored
10, but also pulled down a game-high 14 re-
bounds. Smith and Brookshire each pulled
down a dozen ricochets for the victorious
Gentlets .

The Gentlets hit a fine 47.51 from the
floor, but lost the ball on 26 turnovers.
Hie Kittens hit on only 321 of their floor
attJempts.

In Monday's loss, the Gentlets were paced
by McLeod 's 22 points and Smith's 17 points
and 12 rebounds. Dale Kinkelaar hit for 12,
and Welker and Jacobs had 10 each in the loss .
The Gentlets hit on only 37.61 of their
field goal tries and were plagued with 28
turnovers .

This weekend Coach Wallace's charges
are participating in the Ouachita Baptist
J. V. Tournament in Arkadelphia, Ark.

Mid- South Tourney Tips Off Tonight,
Gents Face Houston

by Tom Marshall

Two games are on tap tonight as the
Shreveport Sports Foundation's Mid-South
Basketball Tournament unfolds at Flirsch
Memorial Coliseum on the Louisiana State
Fairgrounds .

Four teams are entered in the two -day
tourney that winds up Saturday night. The
field includes Centenary, Houston Baptist
College, Louisiana Tech and Southern Metho-
dist University.

Tonight's schedule has Tech facing SMU
in the 7 o'clock opener, while Centenary
squares off against Houston Baptist in the
9 o'clock windup. Saturday, the losers of
tonight's games vie in a 7 p.m. consolation
matchup, while the winners battle for the
tournament title in the 9 o'clock champion-
ship finale.

Tickets are priced at $4 for reserved
seats and $3 for general admission for each
session. Because the tournament is not
school -sponsored, Centenary students must
purchase tickets in order to attend. However,
students may purchase general admission tic-
kets at a $1 discount in the Gold Dome
athletic office until it closes Friday after-
noon .

Tech and SMU- -tonight 's opening game op*
ponents--are both coming off good seasons
last year. Tech finished with a 23-3 over-
all mark last year, and the Bulldogs' 6-2
conference mark was good for third place in
the Southland. Coach Scotty Robertson's
Techmen are led by 6-10 All -American center
Mike Green, who averaged 24 points and 16
rebounds last year. Two Shreveporters --
senior forward Steve Robertson and sopho-
more guard Barney Banks- -will probably be
in the starting lineup for Tech. Banks,
from Bethune High School, set a new Tech
freshman scoring record last year with a
26.1 average.

Meanwhile, SMU tied for first in the South-
west Conference, and the Dallas school is
looking for an equally impressive 72-73 sea-
son. Leading the Mustangs will be All-SWC
choice Ruben Triplett, a 6-7 pivotman who
gunned for 18 points and 10.8 rebounds per
game last year. Top additions are 6-7 for-
ward Sammy Hervey, a junior college trans-
fer who was second in the nation in Juco '

SENIOR FORWARD JOHN HICKERSON '

..."Hondo" set for Mid-South Tourney.
scoring last year, 6-8 freshman Ail-American
center Ira Terrell, and 6-9 Jeff Cummings ,
a freshman from Metarie's Rummell High--
the team that Robert Parish and his Wood-
lawn Knights defeated last year in the
Louisiana state AAAA championship game.

Centenary's opening night opposition is
Houston Baptist, an NCAA independent coming
off an 11-14 season in 71-72. Coach Lonnie
Richards returns senior forward E.C. Cole-
man who, at 6-7, led the team in scoring
(21.9 ppg) and rebounding (15.5 rpg) last
year. Tall sophomore Mack Coleman (6-8)
should give Houston Baptist some extra
needed help on the boards, while junior
playmaker Butch .Grant, a six-footer from
Wharton Junior College, will direct the
attack with some added speed.

Last year's tournament, played during
the Christmas interim under the auspices
of the Sports Foundation Holiday Tourney,
was won by Northwestern State University.
The Demons took the championship game fron-
Centenary by a score of 89-82 in the Gold
Done.

Speed, Solid Bench
Spark Gent Victory

by John Hardt
Only seventy seconds into Tuesday f s sea-
son opener for the Centenary Gents , they were
already leading the Southwestern University
Pirates by a 7-0 score. Yes, the long-awaited
1972-1973 Centenary basketball season had
begun. In the game, in which the Gents never
trailed, the Gents of Coach Larry Little dis-
played a wealth of talented substitutes which
recent Gent teams have lacked. Yet the story
of the game was the debut of freshman 7'
center Robert Parish, undoubtedly the most
heralded player ever to play for the Gents.
Playing only 27 minutes , Parish scored 20
points, grabbed 21 rebounds, and greatly
intimidated the smaller Pirates.

After the quick 7-0 lead, the first half
was played on fairly even terms between the
two teams, with the Gent lead varying from
3 to 15 points. Coach Little wasted little
time in showing his bench strength as ten
players saw considerable action in the
first half.

The Pirates were hampered early as
5' 8" Howard Phearse, who averaged 22
points a game last year, got into foul
trouble and had to spend some time on the
bench. However, in the 20 minutes that he
did play, he was held to 7 points by Mel-
vin Russell .

The Gents hit their biggest lead of the
first half with just under nine minutes to
go on a Larry Davis shot for a 34-19 lead.
Other first half highlights were Leon John-
son, the sensation on last year's freshman
team, scoring on his first varsity attempt
with 12:S4 left in the half, and Parish's
first basket coming on a rebound with 9:23
left. From that 34-19 deficit the Pirates
rallied to narrow the gap to 50-41 at the
half.

The Gents came out the second half like
they did the first half, scoring straight
points, 4 on Parish tip-ins. With steals
and fast breaks, the Gents slowly built up
to a 96-66 lead with about 2 1/2 minutes
left in the game.

The Gents ' depth is shown in the scoring
column as twelve hit for scores and half of
these scored in double -digits . Besides
Parish with 20, Russell had 16 points, Larry
Davis 13, Roadrunner Home 11, and Leon
Johnson and John Hickerson had 10 apiece.
Surprise starter Jerry Waugh played a steady
game and added 8 points to the Gent cause.

Fans, Coaches Agree: Robert Came to Play;
Parish Pleased with Rebounds, 'Rejects'

By Tom

The time is Tuesday night, November 28.
The place is the Gold Dome. The stands are
crowded with expectant students and loyal
fans .

The Gents take the floor and line up
around the maroon -and-white "C" at midcourt
for the opening tipoff. Centenary's tall
center tips the ball to Roadrunner Home,
who takes it in for an easy, layup.

The Gents* opposition, Southwestern
University of Georgetown, Texas, comes down
the court and one of its players put up an
easy 15- footer. Wham! The ball comes
flying back towards the shooter. Centenary
picks it up, comes down the floor, and
9cores .

Then, about midway through the first
half, a Gent misses a field goal try, but
the tall number "12" comes charging through
the crowd under the boards, leaps high
above the groping hands, and softly lays the
ball back into the hoop.

The era of Robert Parish has begun.

With that tip-in, "Slim" (as he is known
to his teammates and friends) had at least
one tally in each of the columns that will
chart his next fcxir years as a Centenary
Gent --he has scored, rebounded and blocked
an opposition shot .

By the time the opening night contest

The Gents hit a fine 47.81 from the
floor each half, while holding the Pirates
to 35.61 for the game. With Parish's 21
rebounds , the Gents also took the battle of
the boards, 62-49. The Gents did have 25
turnovers, but they also had 19 assists.

The Pirates were led in the scoring col-
umn by Robert Lee and Paul Tedder with 18
each and Danny Allie with 17. The loss
evened the Pirate record at 2-2.

After the game. Pirate coach Billy Tubbs
called the Gents "a real fine team, with
several good players." He said the Centen-
ary guards did "outstanding defensively in
shutting down Phearse and exerting pressure."
He concluded by saying, "I'm glad we don't
play Centenary again, not even in George-
town."

Yes, the long-awaited season has fi-
nally arrived and the Gents got off on an
impressive note, but as Roadrunner Home
remarked to Larry Davis in the dressing
room, 'Veil, Larry, that's one down, 26
to go."

Marshall

was over, Robert had given the 2,300 plus
fans in attendance reason to believe that
they would see a lot more of his skills in
those areas. Parish ended the night with
20 points, 21 rebounds and eight blocked
shots while playing 27 minutes of the 40
minute game.

After the game a horde of local news
media reporters talked to Robert about his
first collegiate performance. Wasn't he
nervous - -what witn all those people and all
the expectations? "Well, yea, I was a little
nervous at first," offered Slim as he metho-
dically dressed his seven- foot frame, "but
after it started I was O.K. I just needed
to feel the ball a few times."

What about the c611ege game itself?
Was it like he thought it would be? "Pretty
much," conceded Robert, "but I didn't think
it would be that physical. In fact, it was
a lot more physical than I thought it would
be."

That didn't seem to affect Robert's
play, though. "No, it didn't really bother
me. But I had to work more on the defen-
sive boards. I had to work to get my po-
sition."

As far as the statistics go, Robert really
didn't have a whole lot to say. When told
that he had 20 points and 21 rebounds, he
allowed that that "...sounds pretty good for
the first game." He did want to know how
many "rejects" (blocked shots) that he had,
though. That's a natural area of interest
for any big man.

Gent Head Coach Larry Little also
fielded a barrage of questions- -many of which
concerned his star pupil. Little said of
Parish's first college game, "Robert played
about like we expected. He was very strong
on the boards and did an adequate job of
releasing on the fast break." As far as
Robert's scoring went, Little said that he
felt Parish did a "good job of shooting the
ball." The only area of Robert's game that
Little's comments were more reserved was
in the area of defense. 'We felt like he
would need more defensive work and we
still do," said the Gent mentor quite
simply.

Southwestern coach Billy Tubbs also had
a lot to say about the new Gent star. "He
simply intimidated us. I'm just glad we don't
have to face a seven- footer every game," said
Tubbs. He then added, without reservation,
'He's everything everybody said about hun!"

THE CONGLOMERATE

February 2, 1973

Beautiful Day Due

Supported by "Hot Sauce" as a supplementary
act, the San Francisco rock group "It's A
Beautiful Day" will star in the Gold Dome at
8 pjn Thursday, February 8th.

The group, seen in the rock documentary
film "Fillmore," is being brought to Centenary
and Shreveport by Calico Productions, Dallas.
As befits a group of its origin, "Beautiful
Day" features the San Francisco sound, a new
and commanding form of rock.

Under the arrangement between Calico and
the Centenary Student Senate, all Centenary
students will be admitted to the show without
charge, entering through the Kings Highway
gate. The public will be admitted at $3.50
per ticket.

Since the group is not paying for the
Dome lighting, the first 300 Gents will not
be charged to the Senate; those coming
afterward will have their tab picked up by
that body.

If the public response is sufficiently
satisfactory, Calico is considering bringing
more shows to the Dome. So come on out to
hear "It's a Beautiful Day," and bring your
friends .

Also in town soon will be "Chicago",
scheduled for Hirsch Memorial on February 11th,
and then, on February 19th, Neil Young moves
into Hirsch.

Fed Grows Beaird

Dr. Charles Beaird of the Philosophy De-
partment, armed with a determination —
like that of any good teacher — to learn
all he can, has been appointed to a three
year term as a member of the Board of
Directors of the Federal Reserve Bank for
the 11th Federal Reserve System District,
which includes Northern Louisiana and which
is headquartered in Dallas.

Dr. Beaird 's name was submitted to the
Dallas Board of Directors by the president
of a local bank, and the Dallas directors
nominated him before the Board of Governors
of the entire Federal Reserve System in
Washington.

Dr. Beaird is the first Board member
from Northern Louisiana in some thirty
years. Of the three "public members" of
the Dallas Board, one has, by tradition
been connected with the field of education,
a tradition Centenary is proud to have
Dr. Beaird continue.

His new position will require Dr. Beaird
to attend monthly meetings of the Board, in
Dallas , and also to participate in commit-
tee work. Essentially, he told the CONGLOM-
ERATE, his work will be like that of the
director of any bank, the Dallas Fed being
a bank itself.

Although he did 6 ay that he is not "a
Keynesian", Dr. Beaird will take his position
with no set philosophy on monetary/fiscal
policies. He wants primarily to learn,
particularly such things as the influence
regional Boards such as his have on the
policies of the Washington Board of Gover-
nors .

Dr. Beaird, like other Board members,
will be eligible for appointment to a
second three -year term.

Special functions for alumni attending
Saturday's Homecoming rituals will include
a 10:00 am Faculty -Alumni Coffee in the
administration building, '48 and '63 class
reunions at 11:30 am in the Caf, a noontime
luncheon featuring a student skit, after-
noon open houses , the 6 pm banquet in the
Caf (Hall of Fame, 1973 Outstanding Teacher,
Alumni Scholarship awards, etc.), and a post
game reception. For those who don't read
the sports pages: Our team, sporting a
12-4 record as of Wednesday, plays the

Professor Bruce Harmon of the University
of Illinois at Champaign -Urbana estimates,
according to LSUNO's News From Mother Earth ,
that over 890 square miles of trees were usecj

drinks that Americans have consumed since
MacDonalds started counting.

We may not have the NCAA on Centenary's
side, but we can always count on the good
old NASM! The School of Music, Dr. Frank
Carroll has announced, recently received a
ten-year renewal of its national accredi-
tation from the National Association of
Schools of Music, following on-campus in-
spection of the music department's facilities
and interviews with the music faculty.

Junior student Curtis Welborn will par-
ticipate in this semester's Undergraduate
Honors Research Participation Program
(UHRPP??!!) at Argonne National Laboratory
in Illinois, involving work with the Chemical
Engineering Division in the area of deve-

for liquid metal cooled fast breeder re-
actions. He will live in an apartment fur-
nished by the laboratory and receive a
stipend of $600.

Fewer than one of every 25 "women grad-
uating from Stanford University last June
expected to be a full time housewife in five
years, according to Stanford study. This
contrasts sharply with a 1965 survey in-
dicating that 70 percent of Stanford women
would not work at all when their children
were under six years old, and 43 percent in-
tended to work full time when their child-
ren were over 12 years old. Among the 1972
graduates , only 3 percent of the women who
intended to work immediately after gradu-
ation said they would stop when their
husbands had finished school, and only 7
percent said they would stop to raise
children. In all, only 18.5 percent men-
tioned the role of wife and mother as part
of their main activities in the next five
years .

• As Alumni Revisit

This is the week the Campus has been
waiting for, the week toward which all
others are merely transitive and preparatory.
For this is Homecoming Week.

Saturday, February 3rd, is that Day of
Days. At noon that day, there will be
judging of decorations of dormitories and
sorority/ fraternity houses.

In the afternoon, the dorms will sponsor,
as will the Greek houses and the Computer Lab.
among others , Open Houses .

TheiTj at 6 pm, in the Gold Dome, the
"Centenary Exes", former members of the
basketball Gentlemen, will form teams and
have a go of it. This is just prior to the
Homecoming Game, when the present Gents
match their skills and abilities against those
of the Indians of Arkansas State University,
starting at 8 pm.

But that's not all. From 10 pm to 1:30 am
the Royal American Showmen will entertain at
a BYOL Dance in the Lake Room of the Captain
Shreve Hotel. The first 2 set-ups, by the
way,. are free, and after that will require
25tf each.

Homecoming, by the way, is a joint
project of the Student Senate and the
Alumni Office. Remember, it only happens
once a year (we think) .

The Chi Omegas have begun preparing for
Homecoming this Saturday and for Chi Omega
State -Day next Saturday in Lafayette.
The Chi O's have congratulated their
pledges for acquiring high grade averages
from last semester.

Adele Davis, Soviets
Attack Uncooked Foods

Proponents are wont to ecstatically
describe the nutritional miracles of
natural raw foods . In their books ,
directors of three health resorts
have attributed their personal terminal
cancer cures to raw foods. "Miraculous
gifts of nature," already "cooked by
solar energy," raw vegetables "have the
highest nutritive value as live food
handed us by nature." Dr. Kirs tine
Nolfi, director of Humlegarden Sana-
torium in Denmark, flatly states that
the use of raw vegetable food totally
cures or mitigates all infectious dis-
eases. Dr. Joseph Evers of the Hachen
clinic in Germany claims to have help-
ed some 15,000 sufferers of multiple
sclerosis in a 40 year period with a
diet of raw organically grown foods.

Vegetarians, and vegans who avoid
even animal by-products such as eggs
and dairy products , are urged to serve
a raw vegetable, raw fruit, raw sprouts
or unroasted seeds at each meal, since,
it is said, heat destroys vitamins
and amino acids .

But Adele Davis, the "high priestess"
of nutrition, claims cooking vegetables
concentrates nutrients so intensely that
a small serving equals an amount impos-
sible to eat raw. With four common
vegetables- -carrots , cabbage, tomatoes
and celery- -cooking doubles and quad-
ruples vitamin A 'and C, and minerals
like iron, calcium phosphorus, and
potassium.

flany scientists believe that cooking
permitted the rapid evolutionary advances
of man in the past 10,000 years. Man's
rapid advance, they say, took place in
areas where fresh fruit was rarely avail-
able and staple foods were all cooked.

Soviet scientists have discovered
that natural raw foods contain many sub-
stances "very dangerous to animals, in-
cluding man." They found chemical ir-
ritants in raw foods which can attack
the digestive system from the mouth
down to the intestines. Aflotoxins,
causing cancer, exist in many raw grains
and nuts, which explains "epidemic forms
of liver cancer" in some African nations.
Nitrates that change to deadly nitrites
in our bodies exist in many raw vegetables.
The 'biochemical antagonists" in some
plants destroy the vitamins and amino
acids in our bodies .

But, say Soviet nutritionists, there
is no "specific table of contents" for
food good for everyone. What is good
for the individual is what he or she
enjoys eating and makes the individual
feel better. However, if you prefer things
cooked, both Soviet nutritional science and
Adele Davis are right behind you. /AFS

THE CONGLOMERATE

Senate fcefwtt

A special senate election will be held, it
was announced at Tuesday's opening Spring
Semester senate meeting, to fill the office
of Junior Female Senator, which was left
empty when Holly Hess did not return to
school. The election, the date of which is
yet to be announced, will also feature a race
for Senior WSGA Representative. Forms for
both contests are available from senate
secretary Pam Sargent.

In other business, the senate announced
Tuesday that it purchased a twenty pound
smoked turkey from Burge's over Christmas
as a gift for •'Staitty," chief of campus
January 21— February 19

security.

A reported $4,000 surplus from last
semester has brought about suggestions for
other creative ways to spend student money.
The senate is taking into consideration a
« proposal to purchase a $1,500 poster-making
machine, which would be used for concert,
election, and other publicity, and would be
available for rent by campus organizations.

Because of its healthy financial condition,
the senate was able to lower the price of
tickets for the Feb. 23 § 24 New Orleans bus
trip to $15, including rooms at the Sheraton-
Charles. Tom Guerin, Pam Sargent, and Rick

ANNOUNCEMENT OF PUBLIC MEETING

WHAT FOR?

To review the operation of Wallace Lake in Caddo Parish,
Louisiana, to determine the need for, and the advisability
of, reformulation of the flood control project to provide
for recreational use and for municipal and industrial
water supply.

WHERE AND WHEN?

The Caddo Parish Police Jury meeting room in the
Courthouse, Shreveport, Louisiana

On Thursday. 1 March 1973 at 2:00 P.M.

For those of us nho were reared in
Sulphur, Shreveport, Lafayette, or New
Iberia and have never seen a ghetto, there's
an ideal, eye-opening production currently
being staged at the playhouse. "The Me
Nobody Kncws" is a musical collage of
poetry, themes, and speeches written by
children who live in the ghetto.

A play about ghetto life may sound
depressing, but the people in the cast
have a different idea. One girl said
that the children are happy in the morning
when they don't kncv any better life, but
that they begin wrestling in the revolution
of rising expectations during the day and
are depressed by nightfall.

The cast mewbers themselves are very
diverse, but they have been able to get it
together because of their strong feeling
for the play. "Everybody 's pulling out
something in themselves and using it."

"The Mb Nobody Knows" is directed by
Robert Buseick. The choreographer is Lea Darwin,
and the music director is Isabel Rosenbloom.
It has been described as anything from "a
kiddie Hair" to "a little jewel of a show"
by Jim Mont gome ry of the Shreveport Times .
Definitely recommended. It continues
Feb. 1,2, and 3. The next production is
"The Good Woman of Setzuan" on March 8, 9,
10, 15, 16, and 17.

The Court will say next week, I have

the idea that since a child cannot sur-

Helium Hibernation

If you saw Stanley .Kubrick's movie 2001,
you are familiar with the idea that space
travellers are likely to spend most of their
journey in some form of hibernation (or
perhaps even suspended animation) . The
fact that some yogis can put themselves in-
to a trance in which metabolism is greatly
diminished may indicate that hibernation,
or near suspended animation, may be a good
way to travel through inner space too.

Hibernation is a state of low energy
turnover. Body temperature is close to the
temperature of the atmosphere that surrounds
it. It may be pretty close to freezing.
The heart beats slowly and breathing is at-
tenuated.

Suspended animation is a state in which
the heart and breathing are kept completely
still for a period of time. Many scientists
believe that it is physically impossible on
the grounds that irreversible brain damage
is caused by an oxygen cut-off only ten
minutes after the cessation of breathing.

However in Science . April 17, 1970, K.
A. Hossmann and K. Sato of the flax Planck
Institute for Brain Reasearch in Germany
reported they were able to cut off complete-
ly the blood supply to cats 1 brains for
more than an hour and yet revive the cats so
their brain function was completely normal.

"But, that was only an hour," you say
The point is that it's probably not the
cut-off of oxygen that caused the damage,
as we used to think, but something else
We don't know yet what did cause the damage.
Suspended animation may, after all, be

possible..

I say this so optimistically because 0 f
a recent spectacular, but simple, experi-
ment. Harry Waitz, a graduate student in
Biophysics at U. C. Berkeley, exposed some
salamanders to an atmosphere of nearly pure
helium for more than 24 hours. The sala-
manders continued to breathe the helium,
but gradually became very quiet. Hie tem-
perature was zero degrees centigrade, the
freezing point of water. The salamanders
were not frozen however, because water in
living cells, since they contain salts,
freezes at a few degrees below zero. As
soon as the salamanders were taken out of
the helium atmosphere and into warm air
they revived. They moved immediately, al-
most as if nothing had happened.

Now salamanders are known to be tough
critters. They regrow several tails and
limbs . They can hibernate for long periods
of time. But like human beings, they are
complex cellular organisms. They have a
backbone, a heart, and a nervous system
with a brain. Helium is an inert gas. It
doesn't react very readily with other
chemicals. Apparently the salamanders
gulping pure helium were forced into a hi-
bernation mode. But hibernation implies
some oxygen in the salamander's blood to
keep it going at .hibernation rate, for a
day or so anyway. How close was the
salamander to suspended animation? Waitz
is redoing the experiment in a more sophis-
ticated manner, for example, by checking
e lectro-encepha log rams , which measure
changes in brain tissue, and may be able
to answer these questions.

I am not suggesting that helium hi-
bernation is going to be the next "high"
or "low." Or even that the hibernation
chambers in 2001 were filled with helium.
The point is that we may be just begin-
ning the long journey into hibernation-
assisted space/time travel.

Dateline- CENTENARY-

Scouting
Report (V)

by Tom Marshall

Editor's Note: Statistics released by
the National Collegiate Athletic Association
compilation office in Kansas City, Mo., complete
through games of January 23, 1973, revealed
the following about Centenary ' s resurgent
basketball program: Centenary ranks sixth
in the nation in scoring with a 91.7 per
game average. Perennial powers, Maryland
(92.6) and Long Beach State (91.1) , sandwich
Centenary in that department. The Gents
also rank ninth nationally in margin of victory
defeating their opponents by an average of
15.3 points.

"I feel like the overall season has been
satisfying so far."

The speaker is Larry Little, and that's
hew he evaluated the Gents' season thus far.
Admittedly the season is by no means over.
In fact, as Little puts it, "We realize that
probably the toughest part of our schedule
still lies ahead."

But, nonetheless, now seems like a
good time to stop and take a look at the
accomplishments that have thus far been
achieved by Little and his Gents.

Besides the aforementioned team
highlights, the biggest Gent, Robert Parish,
has indeed made a name for himself, in only
his first year of collegiate athletics. As
of the same date , Parish ranked seventh in
the nation in rebounding (16.4 per game) and
34th in scoring (22.9). At times he has
ranked higher in both categories, and it
seems likely that last week's 31 point -
33 rebound performance against Southern
Mississippi will certainly enhance his standings.

Parish is just one bright spot in a
season that has delighted most of the Gent
faithful. "The picture would have been brighter
had we had less injuries," says Little, then
itemizing, "Skeeter's knee has kept him at
SO to 60 per cent capacity all season, Davis
missed practically a month, and of course
Milton's out for the season."

"Offensively, I've been extremely pleased
with the output," comments the mentor, and
further cites the fact that Centenary has
consistently out-rebounded its opponents all
season long.

Little also says that "special recognition
should he given to our seniors, especially the
co-captains, flelvin Russell and Larry Davis,
and John Hickerson."

Besides the injuries that Little
enumerated, the Gents have also had to face
some unusual outside pressures, and have
handled them admirably for the most part.
The day after the bout with the NCAA, Centenary
went out and scored 106 points against
Southern Miss. And a few days later, they
matched that effort at Natchitoches.

The personal pressure on Parish has been
ever greater, and the 18-year-old freshman
has proven superior to all tests so far, both
on and off the court. Besides being the
implied subject of the 1.6 controversy,
Parish made headlines when he was supposedly
picked by the Utah Stars in the "secret"
American Basketball Association draft. But
Robert was adamant in his statement that he
neither desired nor was he ready to play
professional basketball.

So, the Centenary basketball program
continues to roll along nicely. There's
still a long way until the final game on
March 2, but if Centenary and the NCAA can
square their differences, the team is ready
to go wherever the next challenge awaits.

Gents, Arkansas State
In Homecoming Clash

by Tom Marshall

Coach Larry Little will crank up his
high-powered Centenary basketball machine
against Arkansas State University Saturday
night before a special homecoming audience
at 8:00 o'clock in the Gold Dome.

The Centenary Alumni Office says that
a large group of ex-students, numbering some
250-300, is expected to attend the gaT:e.
Special halftime activities will include the
presentation of the homecoming queen and her
court and the award for the best house
decorations .

And if that isn't enough, the alumni --as
well as the other 2,500 fans expected- -will
also see some pretty good basketball.

.. .hitting 14.5 points per outing.

Centenary, 12-4 going into Thursday's
battle with the nationally- ranked Houston
Cougars at Hofheinz Pavillipn, have been
scoring at a record pace so" far this season,
averaging more than 91 points pei game. The
highest team scoring average in the school's
history was set last season when the Gents
scored at a 85.5 clip.

Top scorer, rebounder and headline -maker
for Centenary so far has been giant, seven-
foot freshman Robert Parish, who at one time
ranked in the top 15 nationally in scoring,
rebounding, and field goal accuracy. Through
the Gents' first 16 games. Parish has averaged
23.3 points and 17.4 rebounds per game, the
latter figure one of the top five rebounding
norms in all of college basketball.

Parish has had games of 50 (school
record), 36 and 33 points and also rebounding
nights of 33 and 30 (both new school records) .

But, although coming close at times,
Parish has not been a one man show. Sophomore
forward Leon Johnson has pitched in 14.5
points per game with a high of 23, and three
other Gents --Larry Davis (13.0), John Hickerson
(10.8), and Milton "Roadrunner" Home (10.4)--
are averaging in double figures. Home, though,
a super-quick senior guard, is now out for the
season after having knee surgery for
torn ligaments

But, despite some unfortunate turns
of fate, Little predicts, "I'm confident the
ball club is ready to perform well before the
returning alumni."

Arkansas State comes to the Gold Dome
with a 5-9 record, its last action being a
two-point Monday night loss at Texas -Arlington,
the team that two weeks ago defeated Centenary
by the same margin in overtime.

Indian Coach John Ross will start 6-2
sophomore Don Scaife at one guard position.
Scaife, who at one time ranked among the
national leaders in scoring with a 29
point average, has been in a shooting slump
recently and comes to Shreveport with a 21.0
average. Joining Scaife will be 6-6 junior
terry White, averaging 16.0 points and 10.5
rebounds per outing. The other three starters
are Schuler Roland (15. C), 6-1C Lonnie Webber
(9.5), and pi aymaker -guard Tommy Smith.

The Gents split last year's two-game
set with Arkansas State, dropping the home
matchup 76-64 and winning in double-
overtime at Jonesboro, 88-85.

Sigler Annouces 44 Game Schedule

The 1973 Centenary varsity baseball Gents
will play a 44 -game schedule this season,
Head Coach Orvis Siller announced last week,
single games. All are doubleheaders on the
accompanying schedule except the games in New
Orleans against Tulane which are single games.

"This is one of the best schedules that
we've had in recent years," pointed out Sig-
ler, citing home dates with LSU-NO, Nebraska
and Oklahoma State, along with road trips
to TCU and 1 la rdin -Simmons university.

The season will open with a March 6 home
contest against LeTourneau College. The
Gents stickmen then have one road date be-
fore returning home for a five -game home-
stand.

The first workout for the team was held
Thursday, but Coach Sigler also announced
that any athlete wanting to try out for
the team should eet in touch with him at
his Gold Done Office (5275).

Centenary Working On 12-4 Season Mark

Since Centenary opened the season with a
99-77 victory over Southwestern University
(CONGLOMERATE, Dec. 1, 1972), the Gents have
played a total of 15 varsity contests. Here
are capsule reports on each of those games ,
plus a summary of other basketball news since
the last CONGLOMERATE issue:

Gents 87, Houston Baptist 66

The Gents roared past Houston Baptist way
back on Friday, December 1 , in an opening
night game of the Mid-South Invitational
Basketball Tournament played at Hirsch
Coliseum. That contest was the windup of a
doubleheader that also saw Louisiana Tech
defeat Southern Methodist University, 92-87,
and set up a Centenary -Tech clash for the
tourney championship the following night.

Centenary came from behind to defeat
Houston Baptist, outscoring the Huskies
15-0 over one stretch in the second half
that brought the Gents from being down 51-48
to a 63-51 lead, and a finals berth.

Gents KM, Indiana State 83

Centenary ripped Indiana State and broke
the century mark for the first time in the
season in a win that belonged to senior
forward Larry Davis. But Davis couldn't enjoy
the victory and somehow, neither could his
teammates .

Larry went out and scored a game -high 21
points against the Sycamores , but with 9 : 20
to play, the "Spaceman" went up high under the
basket for a field goal and came down hard on
his left instep. 'Torn ligaments" was the
diagnosis and the next time Gent fans saw
Davis he was sitting on the bench with a cast
from the knee down.

Gents 104, Northern Colorado 71

In a game that never was a contest, the
Gents slaughtered the badl>* outmanned Bears
and placed no less than six players in double
figures en route to their fifth win in their
first six games .

Parish led the point parade with 24, fol-
lowed by Leon Johnson (23), Milton "Road-
runner" Home (14) , and Melvin Russell,
Jerry Waugh, and Roosevelt Fuller (10 each).

The closest tJNC ever got was when the game
was tied 4 -all in the early going, and Cen-
tenary had opened up a 20-poi^t bulge by the
midway point in the first half.

Gents 95, Lamar 81

Robert Parish: 50 points, 30 rebounds.

That's all there was to this win, the last
game of the year 1972. Parish started great,
finished great, and played great in between
as he set three school single game records
in only his seventh varsity outing. His 50
points broke the seven-year -old Centenary
point record set by Tom (Captain Hook)
Kerwin against Louisiana Tech on Feb. 21,
1966.

"Slim" also hauled in 30 rebounds,
eclipsing by four the total posted by Fred
Zitar two years ago, also against Lamar. And
it naturally follows that his 25 field goals
also set a new school standard.

Teammate Russell summed it up in the
locker room after the game when he said of
Parish, "A super star is born."

Milton "Road runner" Home (4) protects the
ball as he scrambles for a layup during action
December 1 against Louisiana Tech at Hirsch
Coliseum. Tech's Willie Odom (43) has a dif-
ferent opinion as to what Road should do with
the ball, but chances are that it went in.
Tech won the game, 88-76, for the Gents'
first loss at that time. (Sports Photo by
Tom Marshall) .

Louisiana Tech 88, Gents 76

This clash, the finals of the Mid-South
Invite, was billed as a battle between the
big men- -Tech's 6-10 All -American center Mike
Green and the Gents' 7-foot freshman sensa-
tion, Robert Parish. The crowd of 2,500 that
showed up, most lured by that confrontation,
saw Green dominate Parish and Tech win the
championship. Mike outscored Robert 40-20
by putting on a dazzling display of offensive
prowess. But there was some consolation for
Gents fans as Robert out rebounded Green 15-12
and during one stretch blocked a pair of
Green field goal tries --something that Green
couldn't do to Parish.

Green was named the tourney's Host Valuable
Player, and was joined on the All -Tournament
team by Gents Parish and Larry Davis, along
with SMU's Sammy Hervey and HBC's E.C. Coleman.

Gents 86, ETBC 59

Parish and John Hickerson were the heroes of
this Centenary victory, the Gents' tnird win
in four starts . Parish led the easy victory
with 25 points and seven rebounds, while
Hickerson had a big second half to finish with
18 points. This game was never really close,
as Centenary moved out to a 36-28 advantage
and then piled it up in the second half.
Parish and Hickerson were both extremely
accurate from the floor on this night, with
Robert connecting on 11 of 15 fielders and
John missing only three times in 12 tries.

Gents 80, Arkansas 72

Parish picked up where he left off against
Lamar, and this time the victim was the
University of Arkansas. Robert scored 33
points and grabbed 21 rebounds and Centenary
upped its record to 7-1 and prepared for a
showdown with Southwest Conference favorite
Texas.

Arkansas and Centenary traded buckets
through the first eight minutes of the game
with six ties before the Gents went ahead
for good with a little more than 12 minutes
left in the first half. Some hot outside
shooting from Johnson and the Roadrunner's
ballhandling proved too much for the Hogs.

Arkansas' Martin Terry, who came into the
game # as the ninth leading scorer in the
nation, was held to only 16 points.

NCAA 1.6, Gents 0

Less than a week after the loss to Texas
and on the eve of a trip to Hattiesburg,
Centenary ran afoul of the NCAA and was
placed on "indefinite" probation for alleged
violations of a controversial 1.6 rule of
academic projection for prospective student -
atheletes.

The NCAA Committee on Infractions formally
charged that "Centenary College violated the
conditions and obligations of membership in
that: (1) with full knowledge of and dis-
regard for a specific rule of the Association
(it) improperly certified at least two
student -atheletes eligible during the 1972-73
academic year under the prediction require-
ments of the NCAA 1.6 rule; (2) Centenary
College has declined to apply the provisions
of NCAA legislation to the eligibility of the
student -atheletes erroneously certified
under the prediction requirements of the 1.6
rule."

What this means is that Centenary converted
ACT scores to SAT scores- -something that it
has long done for all students , .atheletes or
non- atheletes . In the school's defense, Athe-
letic Director Orvis Sigler pointed out that
nowhere in NCAA guidelines does it say that
such a conversion is illegal. But the NCAA
seems to work on the "guilty until proven
innocent" premise, as the Infractions Com-
mittee retorted, "But nowhere does it say
that such conversion is legal, either."

Ironically, the 1.6 rule, long a controversy
itself, was repealed two days later- -struck
from the books --but the Centenary probation
was not lifted.

At last report, the school's attorneys
were examining what further action the college
should take, with the results still pending.

Gents 106, Southern Miss 83

The Gents didn't let the NCAA action
bother them though, for the day after the
probation was announced, they traveled to
Hattiesburg and soundly routed the University
of Southern Mississippi. Parish was the big
man for Centenary, pouring in 36 points and
pulling down 16 rebounds.

The game also saw the return of Larry
Davis. Although playing briefly in the loss
to Texas, Davis appeared much stronger against
USM and added 10 points to the then season
high for Centenary. Johnson also had a big
game for the Gents, pitching in 18 points
with a great offensive display.

Texas 81, Gents 79 (OT)

The stage was set. Centenary, off to its best
start in years with a 7-1 record, was playing
host to SWC foe Texas in a contest that
promised to be big time in every respect. The
local newspapers played up the game and fans
turned out in record numbers .

By game time, some 3,598 had crammed into
every available space in the Gold Dome, and
police say that at least another 1,000 fans
were turned away- -never even parked their
cars. Hundreds stood in line at the ticket
window, but only a few were admitted.

The ones who saw the game got their money's
worth. Down 44-40 at the half, Centenary
came out and roared off to a 58-50 lead
early, but then the game tightened up and
was close all the way. So close, in fact,
that it took two fantastic last -minute
baskets by the Gents --a 30- foot Russell bomb
and a Parish tip- in with a mere eight seconds
left --to put the game into overtime. But the
momentum that got the Gents into the extra
period died, as the 'Horns outscored the
Gents 8-6 in the overtime to snap a five-
game Gent win skein.

Gents 106 NSU 87

Melvin Russell took the spotlight as the
Gents traveled to Natchitoches and handed
the Demons their 11th consecutive loss of the
season. Russell, a senior who has started
every Centenary basketball game since his
sophomore year, broke the school career
assist mark.

Just over ten minutes into the second half,
Mel lofted a lead pass to Roadrunner Home,
and when Road's layup swished through the hoop,
Russell had 246 career assists as a Centenary
Gentleman. The old record was held by Lee
Mansell, who played from 1968-70.

Gents 91 LSU-NO 74

The Privateers came into the Gold Dome
with a reputation as giant-killers, and
Centenary looked like just such a target.
But the Gents survived a hot-and-cold night
on the Tartan floor
to outgun LSU-NO and
up their season
record to 10-2.

Everybody got
into the act as John-
son led the way with
19 points. Parish
added 17, Hickerson IS,
and Davis and Russell 14
The team also set
two new Dome records - -
both in the rebounding
department. The team
carom total of 68 was
one new record, while
Parish's individual
total of 25 wiped out
a record by NSU's
Thurman Baptiste of a
year ago.

Texas -Arlington 74,

Gents 72 (OT)

Centenary traveled
to Arlington, Texas
and suffered its first
defeat of the year
on the road at the
hands of the Mavericks.
Quite simply, Centenary
played its worst game of
the year and was lucky
to even be in the game
at the end.

UTA's Larry
f loo re put on a show
rarely equalled in
the major college
ranks, connecting
on 20 of the 29
floor shots to score
41 points and key the
Mavs* win. Johnson
was the only Gent
who played with any
consistency-, hitting
on nine of 16 fielders
to lead Centenary
scorers with 18 points.

Gents 102,
Va. Comm. 74

After their
worst showing of the
season, Centenary
bounced back with
possibly its best performance of the cam-
paign against Virginia Commonwealth Univer-
sity in the Gold Dome.

All 13 players on the varsity rosters got
into the game, and seven of them scored in
double figures. Parish was tops with 15
points and 12 rebounds, while Davis added
14, Road and Dave Deets 12, Russell 10 and
Hickerson 10 points and 12 rebounds.

But another turn of fate worked against
the Gents as senior playmaker Home was
forced out of the game with a wrenched knee
in the second half. At first the injury was
not considered serious (Road said that he
could' ve come back in), but further inves-
tigation revealed torn knee ligaments and
the following Tuesday morning Home lay on
the operating table at Doctors' Hospital,
out for the season.

When Robert Parish decides that the ball ought to be in the basket, there's usually no s
pinq him, as shown here by this Parish tip-in during Centenary ' s overtime loss to the Texas
Longhorns . "Slim" (00) scrapes the rafters while 'Horns Harry Larrabee (33, hanging on
Robert's shoulder) , John Wilson (40) and B. G. Brosterhaus (32) have little success in
stopping him, Leon Johnson (0 showing) is the other identifiable Gent in the picture.

Indiana St. 85,
Gents 80

Centenary travelled
to Terre Haute, Indiana,
for its first rematch of
the year, and learned that
teams aren't necessarily
the same the second time
around. Indiana State,
the team that fell by 18
points to the Gents six
weeks earlier in Shreve-
port, this time flattened
the Gents 85-80 to gain
revenge .

Larry Davis was
called for two technical
fouls, one at a crucial
point near the game's
end, and the Sycamores
were left savoring a vic-
tory that tasted suspi-
ciously like "home
cooking . M Nonetheless ,
the Gents did not per-
form as well as was
necessary, and they were
sacked with their fourth
loss in 15 games.

Gents 97

Southern Miss 81

Wary of the perils
of the second time around,
Centenary played host to
the Hattiesburg Golden
Eagles and made sure there
was no revenge for USM in
the Gold Dome. Parish
captured headlines again
as he broke his own Dome
and school rebounding re-
cords with 33. He also
got 31 points to lead a
Gent barrage that also
had Davis scoring 20.

The most encouraging
asDect of the win, however,
was the way Centenary
pulled away in the final
going of the once-close
game. With only 6:34 to
play, the Gents 1 lead
was only two (66-64), but,
despite the fact that Rus-
sell and Johnson fouled
t out in the closing minutes,
there was never any ques-

tion after Parish got
going.

CJje Btan'si list

Almost 20% of the eligible students
made the Dean's List at Centenary College
during the fall semester, according to
Dean Thad N. Marsh.

A total of 128 students made a 3.5 or
better average for the semester's work,
an unusually high number, Dean Marsh
said. Of the total, 60 were from the
Sh re veport -Bossier area.

Only those students taking four or
more courses for the traditional letter
grade were eligible for the honor roll.
There were a number of other students
who would have qualified but they were
taking some courses under the pass- fail
system. Other students who took incom-
pletes for some courses were also not
eligible for the Dean's List.

RA Applications

Students who are interested in apply-
ing for Resident Assistant positions for
the 1973-1974 school year should contact
the Dean of Students Office before 4:30
P.M. Friday, February 23, 1973.

The responsibilities of the position
are numerous and detailed and will re-
quire, anproximately 10 to 12 hours per
week to fulfill adequately. Students
who are engaged in extracurricular
activities or who are taking more than
five courses should weigh the decision
to apply very carefully.

The position is one of employment
rather than financial aid. Students
will be hired to fulfill specific re-
sponsibilities. Financial need will not
be considered in the selection process.

Only under unusual circumstances will
a student with less than a 2.5 cumulative
grade-point average be considered. Time
and energy demands require that a Resi-
dent Assistant be at least a minimally
able student.

Students who are preparing for a
career in some helping profession or who
are interested in being of personal as-
sistance to their fellow students will
find the training and experience of the
Resident Assistant position to be valu-
able.

In return for the work required, each
Resident Assistant will be paid $600.00
for the year, $300.00 to be credited to
his account at the end of each semester.
Should a Resident Assistant quit or be
fired during a semester he will receive
a pro rata amount of the $300.00 for that
semester. In addition, each Resident
Assistant will be provided with a single
room at no extra charge if he desires
one and if there are enough single rooms
to make them available.

CONTEST

The letters ADEEEQ II LLLNORUV can be un-
scrambled to form the name of a county and
its county seat, somewhere in the U.S. A
prize of one dollar will be given to the
first Centenary student to bring the
correct answer to Mr. Danvers, PU 107.

Dorms. . .Who Needs 'em?

by Jeff Daiell

"We all tried very hard to live in the dorm, and
the guys off -campus kept applying for rooms
on campus . "

— President John H. Allen of
Centenary College

As all Gentlemen know, there is a College rule requiring all students to reside in the dormi-
tories, save those granted a dispensation under a list of exceptions quoted in Gentlemenlv Speaking
This was necessitated by monetary arrangement between the College and the Feder al (Government. T o nu t
it simply, if too few students inhabit the dorms, the school will lose its jersey.

^/n^S^ctnln^K 6 ^ ? mte Pres ^ er * Q ark, living on campus presents no problems for

55* of the student body doing so. Clark added that about 45% of those now on campus would probably
choose to move off camous, if given the chance. Rick said many of these ultimately transfer
because ( they cannot tolerate on-camous living--"and really aren't Centenary students,

But the issue of on-campus vs. off-campus residence is more complex than that. An investigation
uncovered ten major considerations to be held in mind during any contemplation of the controversy

These factors are m no particular order: cost; noise; privacy; personal freedom; prestige;
for those whose residence is Shreveoort, the chance to live away from parents; the association
with the campus, especially activites; parking; transportation; and independence.
™ n r"!i n l f }? t0 ^consideration of cost, an off -camous student living alone might find that
rent and utilities equal or exceed the cost of a dorm room. However, a counle splitting the expenses
can generally save money that way. As Jim Hobbs expressed it, "Fifty dollars a month sixtv-
five for a single room with a communal bath is high even by Shreveoort standards "
Then there is the question of meal tickets. The average cafeteria meal for those who have a meal
ticket costs approximately eighty-eight cents, and, since the charge is paid whether the meal is
for'everylpSmed Ceding " difficult or ^tasteful to eat in the caf lose almost a dollar

Pondering now the issue of noise, it seems that most students who have fled the bridges and
falling leaves of the campus agree that dormitory life is too noisy for comfort or taste. The re-
duced noise of a non-camous abode, says David Lawrence, is a boon

Those here last semester know all about the idea of privacy. There is more room in an off-
campus residence, said Lawrence, and Hobbs describes a roommate per se as an invasion of privacy

And personal freedom! The prime Centenary subject last term, tne one which snarked nantv raids
petitions, and pique-laden protests. There are two prime considerations here, it seems': visitation
and alcohol, the old couple Jess Gilbert calls 'Vine and women." Dean Miller, too, mentioned this as
a factor in the perhaps pell-mell pursuit of non-dormitorv residence

One concept which cannot be overlooked is prestige. For some, an "off-campus dwellin? is a status
symbol due perhaps to the difficulty accrued to securing the necessarv permission fronTthe Dean of
Students. For whatever reason, the off-campus dweller is a person aoart

Many students, historically, and not just in the era of 'The Generation Gap," can appreciate the
desire to live away from one's parents. And this is one reason some Shreveoort residents prefer to
stay m the dorms.

Another fact to bear in mind is the sense of community and association with the College that comes
with living in a dorm. This is an especially vital calculation for those who hold office or partici
Date in school activities. Rick Clark stressed this and degraded the possibilities of successful
participation by non-campus livers. 5 ,V - L ^ MU1

And, of course, there is the parking situation- -much more convenient for those who live within
halit^T. Mlll6r ^ 35 ° ne ° f Chief benefits cLSSng in upon dorm in-

Corollary with this is the idea of transportation, mentioned by the Dean of Students and by Jess

Preston, 'Johnny'
Set for Weekend

This is a weekend of thought -provoking
presentations. On Friday, at 8 pm in the
SUB, "Johnny Got His Gun" will be shown.
This is a depressing and shocking film about
a young soldier who survives a war with
little more than his mind and trunk intact.
According to the producers, it demonstrates
that war doesn't change, that only the
public's reception of it does. Hie movie
stars Timothy Bottoms and is rated GP.

Saturday night, same time, same place,
we turn to a lighter subject. Preston the
Magician is returning. On his last visit,
he was able to surprise and amaze nearly
everyone in the audience. Preston, an
associate of Orlin Corey, the former
playhouse director and current director
of Everyman Players, is expected to
present an entertaining evening.

On Sunday night, at 8 pm in the
Hurley Auditorium, all English majors and
friends will be able to see, 'Oedipus the
King". We're sure everyone's attendance
would be encouraged by Dr.Guerin.

Library Grows Beaird

Dr. Charles Beaird of the Centenary Philo-
sophy Department has provided the Library
with a copy of his Ph.D. dissertation for
Columbia University: "An Analysis of Dis-
tributive Justice with Special Reference to
the Concept of Profit". The Library is
grateful to Dr. Beaird for this gift. The
dissertation is now catalogued and may be
borrowed on a three-day reserve basis at the
Library Circulation Desk. Strongly re-
commended for all philosophy, economics and
business majors.

It Matches!

During January, The Pennzoil United Gas
Company made a substantial and important gift
of Library furniture to the Centenary Library.
The closing of the reference library which
Pennzoil United had. maintained for several
years at their Fairfield Avenue complex re-
leased a sixty-drawer card catalog unit and
several sections of wood and metal book
shelves, which the Company has graciously
donated to Centenary.

By good luck, the Pennzoil United library
furniture matches the furniture at Centenary.
The Library has already incorporated the card
catalog into the bank of card catalogs in the
circulation Area. Can anyone spot the new
unit?

The wood shelving has provided the means
for expanding the reserve book area behind
the Circulation Desk, and the Library plans
to use the metal shelves to expand the
capacity of the general book shelves.

The Library welcomes this Pennzoil
United furniture gift*

Many revisions to Gentlemanly Speaking ,
including a name change to the Centenary
College Student Handbook , were passed
Tuesday by the Committee on Student Life.
Most of the changes involved minor editorial
and layout matters, although others, including
removal of most of the cafeteria dress code
(from p. 35) and of a statement of religious
belief (from p. 38), were intended to make the
handbook a practical guide rather than a
"philosophical" one.

Battle of the Billboards

Portland, Oregon (AFS) --Oregon, the state
that dared put one percent of the "Road Hog"
Highway Trust Fund into bikeways and outlawed
both "no deposit" bottles and "pull tab" cans
is now waging the Battle of the Billboards.

Recently, Oregon's Governor Tom McCall
announced the start of condemnation pro-
ceedings against five highway billboards in
Marion County, Oregon, thus launching a test
case which may spur the elimination of bill-
boards in other states .

A compensation plan approved by the Oregon
legislature in 1971 has not been working well
and McCall 's effort is an attempt to determine
if condemnation may be a more effective
means for getting rid of the boards. Under
the first plan, the state would have bill-
board owners receive 34 times the monthly
income of their signs. The state would pay

ment paying the rest. Federal officials,
who want to avoid this costly formula, are
seeking merely to pay the replacement costs
of the boards.

In addition' to bringing down the bill-
boards, the 1971 law calls for establishment
of travel information centers, and placement
of signs on major highways, advising motorists
of available sendees at each freeway exit.
These "logo" signs, indicating gas-food-
lodging, are now seen all along Interstate
Highway 5. Once condemnation suits, or
compensation formulas are worked out, the
billboards will be on the road to extinction.
INTERIM REPORT !

The New Left

An Interim class ranging from half full
to comnlete spent the 1973 Interim studying
the Euro -American phenomenon known as "the
New Left" under the direction of Mr. Garvin
of the Government (Garvinment?) Department.

Beginning with an overview of the basic
New Left ideals, which are most easily •
both consolidated and expressed by the
phrase 'do your own thing/ the class then
went on to specifics of the New Left, par-
ticularly exploring New Leftist analysis
of present society, plans for bringing
about a New Leftian society, and ideas of
what society should be.

Of special interest to most of the class
was the split in New Left thought between
the traditional Marxist -Leninists and the
more Robert Owenesque anarcho-Leftists .

There was little of the sharp division
of opinion which characterized last year's
study of the Radical Right. The class
reached a consensus that while some New
Left analysis was valid, much was faulty,
especially New Left hopes for a true
workers' revolution.

fiich more sympathy was elicited from the
class body during the study of the Black
Panthers. Many students agreed that the
Panthers had legitimate complaints regard-
ing the treatment of Blacks both by American
society in general and by members of the
land's policemen in particular.

Indeed, while few, if any, of the class's
members had expressed any desire to further
any goals of the so-called "White" New Left,
the last day of the class saw many students
voice a determination to seek, in their
own ways as individuals, some change, if
not a redress of grievances, in the con-
ditions about which the Panthers are most
discontent.

Gilbert, who moved away from the dorms
after three plus years as a campus dweller.
Weather can sometimes be misanthropic in
Shreveport, and campus dwellers have less of
a problem. If one must walk to school, the
aggravation multiplies.

But turn not yet away from this article.
There is also the psychological factor of a
feeling of independence. Jess Gilbert
mentioned this, calling it "a state of
transition" between College life and "real"
life.

Those are the considerations for both
points of view. No matter which- -if either--
is correct, the fact remains that many
students prefer the off-campus life. How-
ever, the campus residence requirements
apply only to full-time students. Although
Jess specified this fact as his reason to
limiting himself to just two credit courses
(he is auditing those others he seeks to
peruse , Dean ^tiller does not see the rule
as boosting any trend toward part-time status,

Of course, if enrollment builds, it will
probably become easier to obtain the much-
desired dispensation. But Director of Ad-
missions Warren Levingston says there is no
currently discernible trend, one way or the
other, with enrollment for next fall.

Either way,

we're going to see dormitory life

IN MEMORY OF JAMES T. JONES

It is standard in collegiate circles to speak of
the BMOC — the ideal college man — the one who repre-
sents, we think, what college is all about

It is ironic that the man who best represented what
any college should be never set foot on the campus.
But if Centenary means inquisitive , rational, involved,
and searching, then James Jones was all of them— and
more.

For the last 20 years of his life he lived in an
iron lung two miles from the campus. He "attended"
classes via telephone and through tutoring from in-
terested students. He took exams and wrote papers
orally. And he performed, on a par with or better than
many others whose greatest physical problem was getting
out of bed in the morning.

It has been said that he never complained. This is
far from true. He never complained about his situation-
for he was too busy examining and commenting on and
complaining about many of the things that we are too
busy to consider: poverty, injustice, racism, social
strife. And unlike those of us that do find time to
complain,, he was trying to do something about them,
in whatever way he could.

Such was the nature of the man that he was constant-
ly expressing his thanks for what people would do for
him (little as it was in retrospect) . what was done all
too infrequently was for us to thank him---thank him for
showing us who were fortunate enough to have known him
something about what life and courage are all about.

It is, as it usually is, too late now for us to say
thank you--so it must suffice simply to say good-bye.
And we will miss you. — Wes Garvin

Corner

Community of Scholars?

by John and Sissy Wiggin

The controversy rages today over the
question of student housing. Students are
increasingly interested in liberalizing
dormitory regulations or moving off campus
completely. The educators are caught between
the Victorian parents, who would have students
living in monasterial dormitories, and the
students, who demand "livable" dormitories.

The predicament of the educators raises
the question of what role dormitories should
play in a student's total education. Is it
any longer meaningful to talk of dormitories,
or universities in general, as "communities
of scholars", when they have become so large
and impersonal that one rarely knows his
neighbors? And even in small colleges, is the
sense of community one receives in knowing his
fellow students worth the price we pay both
monetarily and in distractions?

We were fortunate enough to get a tour of
the main campus of Oxford University by an
Oxford student while in England two summers
ago. He stated most students there considered
it a privilege to live on campus, simply as a
matter of convenience and, most of all, for
the experience of the commune felt by those
engaged in academic rigor.

If students do not consider it a
learning experience to live on campus, but an
actual deterrent to learning, does the school
have the right to demand that they live on
campus and purchase a meal ticket? Because
many students consider campus life unrewarding
and irrelevant to their education, educators
are left with no cogen • argument for requiring
on -campus housing besiaes paying for dorm
construction.

Our feelings on dormitory life are
encompassed in,a quote fran the catalog
of one of the oldest colleges in the United
States ;

"The academic and intellectual life of
the community is inseparable from the
communal life."
It is ijnportant, though, that the academics be
stressed as much as the communal aspect if
college life is to be fulfilling. Only
in the merger of these two will college
truly become a "cefmunity of scholars".

Hunting the Snew

The sun is a gigantic hydrogen bomb. At
least this is what physicists have believed
since the late 30's (before there were any
hydrogen bombs on earth) . Demonstrating
this hypothesis is something else again.
The trouble is that all we see of the sun
are its outermost layers, whereas the
nuclear furnace is deep in its interior.

There is, however, one way of "seeing"
straight into the sun's heart. We can moni-
tor the neutrinos that flow from its nuclear
furnace. Neutrinos are a byproduct of the
sun's nuclear reactions, in which hydrogen
and other light elements fuse together to
make heavier elements. Neutrino is Italian
for "little neutral one" and it is well
named for it has no electrical charge and
very little mass.

Because they interact with almost nothing,
neutrinos come boiling out of the sun's
core, right on through the huge bulk of the
sun, and rain down on the earth at the rate
of 100 billion on every square centimeter
each second. At least this is the theore-
tical rate. But remember that neutrinos
react with almost nothing; they go tearing
right through the earth as if it were a
vacuum. So hew can we catch them to check

up on the theoretical figures?

Leave it to human ingenuity to figure
out a way to catch neutrinos . Or rather
SNEWs. A SNEW is a SNU or a solar-neutrino-
unit. And a SNEW is one chlorine atom cap-
turing one neutron every 1,000,000,000,000,
000 ,000 ,000 ,000 ,000 ,000 ,000 ,000 seconds.
If you think this is a strange beastie,
consider the fact that 10 36 (as this long
number is usually written) is 10 billion'
billion times as long as the supposed age
of the universe. I told you neutrinos don't
react very much!

It really isn't all as hopeless as it
seems, because an atom is a small thing and
we can put ZxlO* 50 chlorine atoms into a
100,000 gallon tank of cleaning fluid
(carbon-tetra chloride) . So with all those
chlorine lifetimes to average out we can
expect, say the physicists, between six and
eight SNEWS--or in other words, we can cap-
ture one neutron a day.

Ray Davis of the Brookhaven National
Laboratory set up the experiment in 1968
by putting the huge tank of cleaning fluid
nearly a mile down an old gold mine in Lead,
South Dakota. This was to keep the cosmic
rays and other energetic particles from

contaminating the chlorine. (A mile of
rock will stop cosmic rays but not neutri-
nos) . Davis fully expected to confirm ex-
isting models of the sun by finding his
one neutrino per day, but alas, after months
of watching, he said there were at most
only half that many neutrinos interacting
with his chlorine. Later, when he improved
the setup to omit spurious reactions , he
found only one SNEW or about one neutrino
a week.

These figures played havoc with the ex-
isting nuclear models of the sun, and
astronomers were in a tizzy. In this kind
of situation, theoreticians have to ride to
the rescue. William Fowler, F.W.W. Dilke
and D.O. Gough of Britain's Institute of
Theoretical Astronomy came up with a dilly
(see Nature , December 1, 1972). They point
out that the sun's surface, upon which
models of the sun's interior are usually
based, is as dependent on the interior as
it was 10 million years ago.

Neutrinos come from the nuclear heart
of the sun and are only eight minutes old
when they hit the earth. But photons
(light particles) have bopped around the
bulk of the sun for 10 million years before
escaping the surface. This was not new;
theoreticians had believed this for decades.
The startling thing is that the low neutrino
rate suggests that the sun is now in a
transitional state between times when the
inside and outside of the sun are more in
accord. The model which accounts for the
current neutron rate implies that
the surface of the sun was 5 per cent
cooler in the recent past and 250 million
years ago, and will be cool again around
250 million years in the future. This cor-
responds very nicely with the timing of
past ice ages. Ah sooo!

This is heady stuff to come from one
neutron a week in 100,000 gallons of clean-
ing fluid. And there are those who think
that when the experiment is further refined
there will be no SNEWs at all. What then?
Bad news 10 million years from now? Or
sooner? Hopefully, we will find other
ways to see into the heart of the sun.
For now the SNEW is the best we have.

IN HOC SIGNO VINCES

The Unmentioned Loser

By Jeff Daiell

One of the great moral obscenities of our
age is the current discussion, following the
Viet-Nam cease-fire agreement, on which
government won and which government lost.

Hanoi (for all intents and purnoses ,
synonymous with their running dogs, the
Viet Cong), one might say, lost, because they
failed in their aggression against South
Viet-Nam. Or one might say Hanoi won; after
all, it controls portions of the South and
has a good chance now to gain the rest.

Saigon (pretty much synonymous with
Washington, although it's hard to say which
is whose nuppetl , one might conclude, lost,
because it failed to expel the Butchers of
Hue from its satrapy. Or one might sumise
that they won; not all of the country is
(yet) in Coronunist hands.

But these splittings of hairs ignore the

primary fact: that Viet-Nam, like all in-
ternational wars in history, was a gang war,
an armed conflict between two bands of
hoodlums over a niece of territory. With
the Saigon-Washington Gang on one side, the
Noscow-Peiping-Hanoi Gang on the other, who
was forgotten in all the murder and demo-
lition was the individual South Viet-Namese.

It was he (or she) who lost, and who lost
inevitably. For no matter which Gang pre-
vailed, or if neither fully prevailed, as
in the current situation, the individual
South Viet-Namese must suffer.

The Government of South Viet-Nam is ar-
bitrary- and repressive. The ruling clique
in Hanoi is brutal and despotic. Whichever
rules him, the individual South Viet-Namese
must forfeit in practice what is his by
morality: the fundamental Rights of Man.

Hanoi was fighting to extend its sadistic
tyranny over him. The South Viet-Namese
Government was fighting to maintain its
dictatorial control over his life. And
America? America was fighting, not for his
rights as an individual, if you will grant
ne the redundancy, but for the capricious
privilege of the majority of South Viet-

Namese to do with him as they would, whether
it be to, ideally, grant him' liberty, or
whether it be to grind him under an oppres-
sive barbarity; whatever the choice of the
majority- --said official united States pro-
clamations- --this 'land of the free' was
willing to adhere to it.

While, of course, if there be degrees of
evil, the Communist Gang was much more ter-
rible than the thugs of Saigon, neither side
is innocent, neither side had a right to its
goals, neither side was worthy of a single
human life expended in its service or in its
name .

The only side worth such a cost has never
been mentioned in this long and foul and
filthy war: the cause of the sovereign
Rights of the individual South Viet-Namese.
He and his rights lost this war, and which
band of cutthroats won is a subject un-
worthy of discussion.

When considering this war, it is best to
delegate to each side the words of II Peter
2:19: "While promising them liberty, they
themselves have become the servants of cor-
ruption; for of whom a man is overcome, of
the same is he brought into bondage."

Dateline: CENTENARY-

A Nice Day
In February

by Tom Marshall

STRIKE ONE, STRIKE TWO

It started out as a nice day last
Thursday, February 1. The sky was blue, the
sun shone brightly, and the temperature was
comfortable .

I got up early enough to be ready to leave
for Houston at 11 a.m., and my two companions
and I departed with high spirits . Although
the trip didn't promise too much as far as
basketball success --after all, Centenary was
playing the Cougars (strike one) AT
Hofheinz Pavillion (strike two) --but still,
going to Houston was always a lot of fun, and
we had been looking forward to it for quite
some time.

As we passed through Nacogdoches, Tex.,
it was still a nice day.

We got into Houston about 3:30 in the
afternoon, did a little shopping around at
Westbury Square, ate dinner at Alfred's
delicatessen (did anybody else from Centenary
eat there?) and then headed for Hofheinz.

The first thing I saw as I walked through
the tunnel into the Pavillion was Gent frosh
Welton Brookshire hitting a long jump shot to
end the first half of the junior varsity game.
Centenary was beating Houston, and it was still
a nice day.

Soon thereafter, the varsity players took
the floor and as I sat in my courts ide chair
and saw a six-foot-nine guard and a host of
other giant Cougars cavorting about., I thought,
"So THIS is the Houston Cougars; well, a trip
to Houston is always fun anyway."

When Centenary jumped out to a 4-0 lead
early and had built up a six-point halftime
bulge, the day was getting nicer still.
But, late in the second half, the situation
slowly began to deteriorate.

GUTLESS OFFICIATING

The first factor that contributed to the
slow bleakening of the atmosphere is what
appeared to be gutless officiating. By
gutless, I mean that the officials,
Dan Watson and "Our Friend" Percy Perm,
allowed themselves to be intimidated
by the overwhelmingly partisan Houston
mob, er, crowd.

Somehow, obvious instances of goal-
tending against the tall Cougar players
started getting less attention from Perm and
Watson while Centenary's big man, Robert
Parish, suddenly found good blocks (or slightly
questionable at most) being labelled 'tending.
A complete turnaround in officiating consistency
can sometimes cause a complete turnaround
in the outcome. of a ball game.

And speaking of consistency, wasn't it
just a couple of weeks ago in Centenary's game
against the university of Southern Mississippi
that referee Allen Winters called a technical
foul on the crowd at the Gold Dome when
someone winged a paper cup onto the floor that
grazed him on his foot? Yes it was Winters who
said, when explaining the foul to Gent Coach
Larry Little, "If he had missed me, it would
have been okay, a warning. But he hit me."
In Houston, ref Watson was almost levelled by
a full cup of ice that hit him square in the
back of the head and no technical was called.
That's OK, Dan, I'm sure that the fan didn't
MEAN to hit you.

Furthermore, the Cougar band, which was
stationed immediately beside the Gent bench,
played their hearts out during every time
out, with the effect that the Centenary
players never were able to hear a word that
their coaches said during the breaks. Sure,
I know it's OK to put a band anywhere in the
arena and that it's part of the ol* college
spirit, but if that band was so important to
UH's spirit, I'm certain that Cougar Coach
Guy Lewis would be happy to have it beside
his team's bench.

I don't know, maybe it's sour grapes,
maybe it's frustration for coming so close
and then losing. But I do know that what
started out to be a. pretty nice day seemed
pretty bleary when I think of what could have
happened had consistent officiating, rational
fans, and, most important, sportsmanship,
prevailed in Houston last Thursday night.

Gents Fall to Cougs,
Still Get Win Mark

by Tom Marshall

The Centenary Gents went 3-1 in games played last week, and in doing so, upped their
season's record to 15-5, thus assuring the highest Centenary victory total in the past de-
cade.

The four-game set started on the road last Thursday night in Houston, where the Gents
dropped a heartstopping 89-85 decision to the nationally -ranked Cougars at Hofheinz Pavillion.
Saturday was Homecoming in the Gold Dome, and the Gents treated the returning alumni to a
98-75 thrashing of Arkansas State. Two nights later, Centenary (and Robert Parish in partic-
ular) got revenge on the University of Texas -Arlington for an earlier loss by defeating the
Mavericks 88-67. Finally, Wednesday night saw the Gents give the home crowd a third conse-
cutive win by defeating Lamar University, 91-73.

Close, But No Cigar

In Houston, the Gents played their best
game of the entire season thus far, leading
the heavily -favored Cougars throughout the
early going and building up a 47-41 halftime
advantage. Larry Davis was super-hot in the
first half and the Spaceman had collected 14
points by intermission. Just before the
break, Roosevelt Fuller came off the bench
and scored seven points in four minutes to
help the Gent cause.

The second half came and Centenary con-
tinued its scoring ways AND its domination
of the Cougars. The crowd of 6,835, who had
not seen Houston lose at home in 23 conse-
cutive games and only once in 53 contests,
was beginning to sense that defeat might be
imminent when the Cougars made their move.

that's probably where the Indians wished
they were. Parish played his usual super
game, getting 30 points on a 14-of-16 night
from the field and grabbing 20 rebounds.
Davis continued to look good since reaching
full strength after his injury and added 17
points, while Movin' Melvin Russell had 14
points and 11 assists.

Mel Gets 16 Assists

Monday against UTA the Gents were out
for satisfaction, considering the fact that
the Mavs somehow defeated Centenary 74-72 in
overtime several weeks ago. The contest was
billed as a return match between Parish and
UTA's big (6-9) center Larry Moore. In the
first meeting, Moore had scored 41 points,
the most anyone has hit against the Gents
this season. But not this time. Moore had
only 21 points against the Gents' tenacious
defense that held UTA to only 67 points, the
third lowest point total for an opponent all
season. Parish, meanwhile, scored 38 points
and vacuumed in 29 rebounds. Davis was the
only other Gent in double figures (with 23) ,
but Movin' Mel got headlines with a school
record 16 assists. That's 16 more on the
career record, because every assist that
Melvin now hands out is a new mark.

Davis had his season high of 25 points in
the win over Lamar and got help from Johnson
(18) and Parish (13) . "Slim" also cleared 27
rebounds , and should move up when updated
national rebounding rankings are published
late this week.

Trailing by 72-67 with only 6:58 to play
Houston reeled off 12 unanswered points to
move out to a 79-72 advantage. During that
stretch, there were several questionable
calls (or lack of calls) by the officials,
but whatever the reason, the Cougars sud-
denly had momentum and the Gents had to
play catchup basketball- -something they
haven't had to do often this season.

But that night was not destined for an
upset, because the closest Centenary
could get was four points at the final
score. Parish led the Gents' effort with
20 points and a game-high 22 rebounds, and
Davis ended with 19 points .

The Gents suffered no letdown, though.
Ask the Arkansas State Indians about that.
Two days after the Houston loss, Arkansas
State was unfortunate enough to incur the
wrath of the Gents. It was homecoming , and

'Ladies' Add to Basketball s New Look

by Jim Crow

There's an added dimension to this
year's new look in the Centenary varsity
basketball program: the Centenary
"Ladies" have arrived.

The Ladies are the women varsity
basketball players (what else would a
female athletic team at a school with
a "Gentlemen" mascot be called?) . The
team is the result of the hard work of
the girls participating and their coach,
Miss Sharon Settlemire.

Monday afternoon, while the Ladies
went through their daily workout in the
Gold Dome, Miss Settlemire talked about
her basketball program and about girls '
varsity sports on the college level.

"We got girls' varsity SDorts
started here last year. We started with
volleyball, but last year's team played
only a limited schedule. Since then, we
have moved into tennis and basketball,"
explains Sharon, adding, "Actually, a
girls' collegiate basketball team is
quite common. In Louisiana alone, there
are teams at LSU, USL, McNeese,
Northwestern, and Southeastern."

The Ladies' 10 -woman squad began
practicing way back in the middle of
November, and have compiled a 1-2
record through their first three contests
this season. After two early season
losses to Henderson and Ouachita Baptist,
the Ladies went out last Friday night
and trounced East Texas Baptist College.
41-22. *

Next Action Tuesday

They'll try to pull even when Southern
State College of Magnolia, Ark., visits
the Gold Dome this Tuesday night .

Miss Settlemire is pleased with her
team's performance so far this season.
"If you had seen the team last year and
then seen this year's team, you wouldn't
believe the difference," she says, adding,
"And I'm really happy for the girls --
they have to work and sacrifice so many
hours a week. But I really believe that
if they like to compete and want to they
should have the opportunity to engage
in these activities, iust like the
boys."

What kind Of problems did she face
in trying to get a female varsity program
started on the varsity level" 'Well,"
offers Sharon pensively, "I guess the
biggest problem was financial. We have
to pay our own way everywhere , and we
even sold doughnuts and sandwiches to raise
money at one time.

"Another problem is getting the girls
who are good in sports to come out .
Sane of them want to and don't have the
time," she explains. But Miss Settlemire
thinks that, considering the time since the
program's inception, things are moving
along quite nicely. "It always takes
at least a year to get it started and for
people to realize that we're serious and
the girls are interested. The first time
Dr .Allen was asked about it, he said.

exceptions (there is no bacVcourt violation;
all fouls are shooting fouls and there is a
30-second shooting clock).

This year's squad is composed of
Jan Lawrence, Joan Medina (Lubbock, Tex.),
Carolvn Carlton (LeCompti, La.), Gay Greer
(Stonewall, La.), Vicki Oven (Alexandria, La.),
Lee Denoncourt (Concord, N.H.), Linda Trott
(Startsburg, N.Y.), Terry Riordan (Metarie ,La. ) ,
Eileen Klieser (Morgan City, La.), and Sandy
Bogucki (San Juan, P.R.).

Several of the girls --Jan, Joan, Carolyn,
and Gay- -played basketball in high school and
are simply continuing their athletic endeavors
with the Ladies. In fact, Joan, who played at
Cooper High School in Lubbock, was an all -
district standout for three years , averaging
more than 20 points per game through her high
school career.

With credentials like that, and their
continued hard work, the women's varsity
sports program at Centenary is off to a
great start .

Recruiting Boost Seen

Miss Settlemire also thinks that
girls varsity sports can help the athletic
program in general, 'louisiana is filled
with high school girls who select their
college because of the basketball program.
Many Louisiana girls go to Arkansas colleges
to play basketball; but I think it would
help our recruiting situation
if we offered a good women's extramural program
And not necessarily just in basketball, but in
volleyball and tennis, too."

Actually, watching the girls practice is
similar to watching any boys team work out,
There are shouts of "Defense!" and "Good shot!"
They go through the same warmup drills, shooting
drills and five -on- five scrimmages. When play
starts, the rules are. the same with few minor

Students who are interested in apply-
ing for Resident Assistant positions for
the 1973-1974 school year should contact
the Dean of Students Office before 4:30
P.M. Friday, February 23, 1973.

The responsibilities of the position
are numerous and detailed and will re-
quire approximately 10 to 12 hours per
week to fulfill adequately. Students
who are engaged in extracurricular
activities or who are taking more than
five courses should weigh the decision
to apply very carefully.

The position is one of employment
rather than financial aid. Students
will be hired to fulfill specific re-
sponsibilities. Financial need will not
be considered in the selection process.

Only under unusual circumstances will
a student with less than a 2.5 cumulative
grade-point average be considered. Time
and energy demands require that a Resi-
dent Assistant be at least a minimally
able student.

Students who are preparing for a
career in some helping profession or who

sistance to their fellow students will
find the training and experience of the
Resident Assistant position to be valu-
able.

In return for the work required, each
Resident Assistant will be paid $600.00
for the year, $300.00 to be credited to
his account at the end of each semester.
Should a Resident Assistant quit or be
fired during a semester he will receive
a pro rata amount of the $300.00 for that
semester. In addition, each Resident
Assistant will be provided with a single
room at no extra charge if he desires
one and if there are enough single rooms
to make them available.

Where Welfare Leaves Off

SISTER MARGARET'S SERVICE PROGRAM

by Sissy and John Wiggin

An assignment to write an article on Sister
Margaret McCaffrey is probably the least sought-
after task in town. Nothing against Sister Margaret--
we have nothing but admiration for her- -it's Just
that finding her verges on the impossible.

Her work in the community leaves her little tine
for sleep, much less talking to two students about
what she is doing in Shreveport. We did corner^hef
and managed to obtain information recently from
student Glenn Guerin who has worked with Sister
Margaret in the Christian Service Program from its
beginning .

Sister Margaret brought the Christian Service
Program (CSP) to Shreveport about three and a half
years ago. CSP takes up where the public welfare
programs leave off. According to Sister Margaret, the
bureaucratic tie-ups within the welfare office delay
help that is often needed immediately. She pointed
out as an example of the inefficiency of the welfare
offices the case of one woman who needed food
immediately. Because she was told at the welfare
office to return later, she appealed to Sister Margaret
for help.

This is but one example of CSP's work. Besides
day-to-day emergency assistance, Sister Margaret also
sponsors annual drives that require year-round work:
the Christmas toys project^ and Christmas, Easter, and
Thanksgiving food baskets. Daily she provides food,
medicine, clothing, and transportation. Picnics are
also a monthly affair from March to October for the
children of the Brook Street area.

Funding for these efforts comes from individual
and church donations and one main fund-raising event,
the Poor Man f s Supper. Sister Margaret initiated the
Poor Man's Supper to stimulate social awareness and
promote brotherhood, as well as to raise money for CPS.
The Poor Man's Supper is both more and less than an
ordinary meal. Only soup, bread, and coffee are
served, but entertaiament is provided-- a slide show
and songs. This year the Dame ons , a well-
known folk group of priests, will sing, along with
young people from the community. Certainly
something less than an exquisite banquet, but, in
being a part of Sister Margaret's program, something
much, much more.

We feel that the Poor Man's Supper will
certainly be a learning experience, one well-worth
our attendance. The Supper will be at the Convention
Hall on Thursday, February 22 at 6:30 pm. If you
are interested in taking r>art, tickets are available
from Netta Hares (869-544:) and Sissy Wiggin
(869-5509).

the white man is generally superior in

to learn by deductive process. Conversely,

Memorial gifts, though small in their

individual sizes, form a particularly imporr
tant source of funds for the purchase of
books that the Library could not otherwise
acquire. The procedure is simplicity itself..
Gifts of $10 to $25 or more in memory of
departed friends and relatives are welcomed.
The Library sends a card announcing the gift
to the person the donor indicates. The
money is used to purchase a book or books
which are marked with a special book plate
which indicates the name of the person in
whose memory the book was purchased and
the name of the donor. Hie Library also
sends an acknowledgment card to the donor,
which indicates the value of the gift and is
useful for tax records at income tax time.

Hie Library likewise accepts gifts in
honor of individuals who are still alive . Trie
procedures for acknowledging these gifts and
carrying out the wishes of the donor are
similar to those followed for the memorial
books .

and eight months in the hospital.

Among his numbers are his very own
"Spindletop," which made many fans at TCU.
But there will also be "Old Blue Dogs,"

Performances will be tomorrow night and

Senate &efavt

by Debby Detrow

The Senate met Thursday, February 8, in
the SUB offices.

The motion was passed to suspend two
rules so that the election to fill the
vacant position of Junior Female Senator
could be held Wednesday. The rules, which
Barry Williams requested to have suspended
for this election, were those involving
the requirement of one month's notice of an
election in the CONGLOMERATE , and the re-
quirement of petitioning for names.

Mr. Vetter spoke about Open Ear and its
connection with Centenary. Noting that
the day of the Senate meeting marked the
second anniversary of Open Ear, he said
that Open Ear is beneficial to Centenary in
various ways, possibly even in recruiting
students to Centenary. Rick Clark sug-
gested the possibility of the Senate giv-
ing Open Ear part of the additional $5
registration fee which each full-time
student is required to pay. Cindy Yeast
made a motion that $1 of the $5 from each
student be given to Open Ear at Fall and
Spring registrations. The motion was
passed. Since there are 600 full-time
students for Spring Semester, $600 will
be given to Open Ear.

It was mentioned that the Radio Club/s
license was up for renewal and that the
Committee on Communications involving the
YQNOOPIN and Radio communications has not
yet come before the faculty for a formal
vote.

Announcement was made that on Thursday,
February 15, at 10:40, Cheerleader Referen-
dum was set in the Sub. All interested
persons should be present to discuss the
present and future status of the Centen-
ary Cheerleaders .

Rick Clark, brought up the fact that
due to too few Centenary volunteers,
additional people had to be hired to take
tickets for the concert which was held
February 8.

The general consensus at the meeting
was that Homecoming was fairly successful
Approximately 200 people turned up at the
dance. All set-ups were free due to a
deal made at the last minute.

Absent were Melvin Russell and Joey
Lacoste. The next Senate meeting wilf
be held on Tuesday, February 20 at 10:40.

A Unique Experience,
But the Food Stinks

by Maty Oakland
Junior Calvin Head is among the Centenary
students who have taken advantage of the
chance to spend the simmer at University Col-
let Oxford University in England and get six
hou^s credit. The program is under the aus-
picel of the Southern College University Union,
of which Centenary is a member.

There are two independent courses from wnicn
to chose, (1) Twentieth Century Britain and
m Empire and Commonwealth . The afternoon
courses are taught by the Anerican teadieis .
from the SCUU. In the mornings, distinguished
British scholars lead seminars m their par-
ticular field of interest.

Last summer Calvin attended University Col-
lege along with about 88 other students from
various schools in the SCUU.

Calvin described it as a "unique experience
and a good chance to meet completely different
kinds of people . No classes were scheduled
on alternate Fridays, so students had long
weekends to explore England. One thing Calvin
did learn about the British as compared to
Se Americans is that it's "kind of like com-
paring a VW to a Cadillac- -they 're extremely
economical. Whatever is necessary "suf-
ficient " The English also seemed a lot more
well-read and generally impressed Calvin with
their knowledge of American politics . ^or
the most part, they were anti-McGovem.)

Calvin didn't seem particularly impressed
with the food. His completely honest opinion
was "It stinks." They were served potatoes
at least two times a day and the food wasn't
seasoned very much, custard and pudding were
the usual desserts. Ice was rarely used, and
even the beer wasn't cold.

The school itself is only an hour's ride
from London, yet still retains that I 7 ™
century atmosphere with dignified formality.
The students last summer even had "scouts" to
wake them up, make their beds, change their
linen, and serve them at meals.

British studies at Oxford really is an
all-round educational experience. The cost
of room, board, and tuition is $1,075. To
Calvin, it was worth it.

Anyone interested should contact Dr. Lee
Ntorgan, Jackson Hall, room 21, (S254) .

A Unique Experience,
But the Town Slept

by Art Hebert

Led into battle by the Great and Almighty
DRAGON alias Dr. Stanton Taylor of the Chemistry
department, seven students went through two
weeks of intensive training in radioisotope
techniques at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. This
program is offered by the Special Training ■
Division of the Oak Ridge Associated Universi-
ties to institutions of higher learning.

The Centenary group left on January 14
and returned January 27. The sessions were
varied and interesting. There were things of
interest for physics majors, biology majors,
and even the lowly chemistry major. Examples
of the sessions were experiments with rats
that were given biotracers , a Rutherford
scattering experiment and Activation Analysis,
a form of non- destructive qualitative and
quantitative analysis of .the elements.
There were also sessions on Environmental
Radiation.

The pace was rigorous. The sessions ran
from 8 am in the morning to 9 pm at night
Monday through Saturday the first week.
The second week the sessions only ran from
8 am in the Twming to 5 pro in the evening.
However the material was interesting enough
to make the long hours relatively unnoticeable .

The only drawback was the town -of Oak
Ridge itself. It is just a dead little town.
Although Knoxville was only 17 miles away, it
is a 30-45 minute drive because of back roads.
On the one free day, if one had the energy,
the area offered the Smokey Mountains National
Park, beautiful even in winter, and such
tourist traps as Gatlinburg. The only cost
to the student is for gas, room, and eats.
It personally ran me $180. Although these
seven Centenary students *ent to Oak Ridee
novices in the' ways of Radio- Isotopes , they
all returned D.R.I.P.s (Dabblers in Radio-
isotope Procedure, that is).

Editorial

There are some new faces around the
CONGLOMERATE offices this semester working
(and learning, along with all of us) to
bring you this paper.

Our new Features Editor, Mary Oakland,
is an English major with wide campus and
community interests . Many readers will
remember her "Women's Lib Comes to Shreve-
port" from last semester.

Ken Head, our new Business Manager, has
stepped into an extremely difficult posi-
tion which requires almost superhuman effort
in attempting to keep records, sell ads,
run the subscription list, and carry on
daily business affairs. Ken is offering
a commission "deal" to fraternity pledge
classes or other organizations interested
in making money by selling CONGLOMERATE
ads, and can be contacted at 869-5594 or
869-5269.

Other names you'll be seeing are those
of Paul Geissen and Tom Musselman , who are
taking over Reptile in the Foliage, and
Debbie Detrow, our new Senate reporter.

REPTILES IN THE FOLIAGE ON RETREAT

Cold weather and snow killed all the
foliage on campus. Therefore, the
CONGLOMERATE reptiles have had to move and
find new foliage. Some say that last
semester's reptile, Mike Gilbert, now lives
somewhere in Rotary with all the other cold-
blooded animals. Others think Rotary' was
too crowded, causing him to move off campus
to a nest not far from the President's home.
Therefore, it was necessary that we have a
new title.

LOUISIANA'S OPPORTUNITY

Occassionally there come, in the affairs
of human beings , opportunities to make this
world just a little bit better. Rarely,
these chances are exploited; more often they
are bungled or ignored.

Louisiana has just such an opportunity
at present. After fifty -one years of groan-
ing under the soggy weight of her current
state Constitution, Louisiana is in the pro-
cess of forging a new basic document for
the state, presumably to govern the area
until this, too, becomes unbearable to
that most long suffering of peoples, a
Southern constituency.

That Louisiana is in need of a new fun-
damental imperative is beyond dispute.
Her current Constitution creaks and gurgles
and labyrinths around for a staggering total
of over one half of one million words; a
work as long as Atlas Shrugged with none of
the clarity, cogency, good sense or morality.
All Louisiana's basic law has that the other
work does not, in fact, is comic relief.

And so the chosen delegates of the
people are meeting now to fashion a replace-
ment. The question before the house is:
will they truly break with the past? For
the word 'past' in that sentence is totally
interchangeable with 'past failures'; 'past
miseries'; and 'past follies'.

The first difference, of course, must
be brevity and clarity. The Federal Con-
stitution is less than 10,000 words long.
Although this length admittedly leaves pre-
cious little room for Huey Long's birthday,
still it remains a reasonable target for
a State docunent.

More important; indeed, most important
of all, is Louisiana's chance to make an
honest statement championing the doctrine
of the inviolate Rights of Man. Every state
Constitution pays lip service to this con-
cept, and all then proceed to detail a
myriad of violations peimitted the State
and its geopolitical subdivisions. It is
time to make a break with this hypocrisy.
This state has an opportunity to forge a
basic law which will truly adhere to the
principle of Man's triune rights of life,
liberty, and property.

The Libertarian Party of Louisiana, this
state's branch of the national Libertarian
Party, has sent to each delegate several
suggestions for the new basic document,
so that this opportunity shall not have
arisen in vain. Among them are elimination
of price fixing, such as on goods like
milk or alcholic beve rages ; abolition
of "Blue" or Sunday laws, believing this to

be contrary to principles of religious free-
dom; the gradual shifting of certain ser-
vices now provided by government (water, v
sewerage, fire protection, garbage collec-
tion) to the private sector; revision of
the heirship laws to allow an individual to
write a will. as. he/she sees fit; a pro-
hibition on deficit spending; a three-fourths
majority rule for new taxes; and abolition
of laws creating "crimes without victims"
(such as anti-pot laws, and the like).

This is the choice facing the Constitution-
al Convention. Either it can continue
Louisiana on its reactionary path of Big
Government, where the State is the All-Father,
guiding our morals, business, associations,
and activities, or it can launch Louisiana
on a new day, toward the dawning of freedom
and progress for the individual. Such ar-
rivals at the crossroads happen but rarely;
it would be shameful to let this one be
wasted or ruined.

When the first Apollo astronauts went to
the moon in 1969 they were tracked by NASA's
sophisticated complex of telemetry in
Houston, Texas. Also following their pro-
gress, from Florida, was one T. Galen
Hieronymus using a small gadget he had in-
vented in the fifties. He wrote a 22-page
report describing physical changes in the
astronauts from lift-off to splash down
and through their quarantine period.

According to Joseph Goodavage, writing
in Analog , December 1972, Hieronymus 's •
"vitality intensity values" for the Apollo
15 astronauts correlated closely with the
findings of the medical telemetry system
used by NASA's chief flight surgeon. But,
concludes Goodavage, "for finely detailed,
in-depth dramatic impact, the Hieronymus
machine seems to have a clear advantage
over the most sophisticated communications
system in the arsenal of space technology."

The Hieronymus gadget is a ps ionics
machine, a device that amplifies psi
power, that is, extra -sensor)' perception.
Several such devices are currently being
researched and developed in the Soviet
Union (see Psychic Discoveries Behind the
Iron Curtain , by Ustrander and Schroeder,
Prentice Hall, 1970.) Bell Telephone and
ITT are quietly researching ps ionics.

The Hieronymus machine consists of a
scanning tray attached to a flat copper
coil sandwiched between two quarter- inch
thick sheets of plastic. The coil is
also attached through an electrical cir-
cuit to a vernier dial. To detect, say
zinc in a rock sample, you place the sample

or a picture of it -- in the scanning
tray. Then, with one hand touching the
plastic surface of the machine, the other
turning the vernier dial, you concentrate
mentally on the zinc.

Eventually you will find a setting
that associates with a particular feeling
of the hand on the plastic -- for example,
a furry feeling. If the feeling is strong,

presumably there is a fair quantity of
zinc in the sample. Others may find zinc
associated with the same setting though
not necessarily with the same feeling.
The machine apparently, amplifies your
natural psychic ability to detect zinc.

However, when Analog 's editor, John
Campbell, investigated Hieronymus 's
machine in the fifties, he found, quite
by accident that the machine worked just
as well without its power source turned
on. Then he took a step into the wild-
blue yonder: he substituted a drawing of
the circuit, in India ink in paper, for the
circuit itself. He described the result
in a letter to Hieronymus :

"The machine works beautifully .. .We 're
working with magic -- and magic doesn't
depend on matter, but on form -- on pattern
rather than substance. Your electronic
circuit represents a pattern of relation-
ships . The electrical characteristics are
unimportant and can be dropped completely.
The machine fails when a tube is burnt out
because that alters the pattern. My sym-
bolic diagram works when there is no power
because the relationship of patterns is
intact ."

Actually physics has not been able to
find any such thing as "substance." The
closer we look into a particle of matter
the more pattern we see and the less sub-
stance there is. It appears to be all
pattern. Ask a physicist what the pattern
is made of and he is likely to say: 'Waves
of probabilities . "

Trouble is, this magic stuff can be
dangerous . Hieronymus is reported to have
used his machine for ridding a cherry tree
of caterpillars -- from several hundred
miles away. He had sent to him some of
the caterpillars, some leaves of the tree
and a photographic negative of the tree.
Whatever he did, the caterpillars dropped
off the tree and fled.

I have heard that you have to be in an
ethically "good" state of mind to use such
devices effectively. The American govern-
ment, apparently feels that the machine is
harmless enough; the diagram and instruc-
tions are available for 50 cents from the
U.S. Patent Office, Washington D. C. 20025
--patent no. 2,482,773.

The Slow,
Sure Death
of Public
Television

by Tom Brom

The American press has so many attacks on
free speech and information to report these
days that the less dramatic but thorough
demise of public television seems relatively
unexciting. The transformation of NET to the
Nixon Network, however, has been as sure and
devious as any of the current grand jury
indictments against reporters. The differ-
ence with PTV is that while the battles
continue, the war has certainly been lost.

PTV was never a truly competing voice
with commercial television, even in the
golden age" of the mid-1960's, drawing only
a miniscule audience to cultural and current
events programming. But the shows were in-
dependent, creative, and on occasion, ex-
ceptionally good. The documentaries of
NET Journal and NET Festival by Jack Willis
and others were a joy to behold, competing
favorably with the best of the BBC teams

Certainly, the destruction and demora-
lization since then hasn't been all Nixon's
doing. The Public Broadcasting Act of
1967 was Lyndon Johnson's baby, complete
with a Corporation Board of political ap-
pointees and local station funding through
the office of Health, Education and Welfare
Nixon merely had to dry up the money, re-
place the 15 board members with his own
political allies, and establish an Office
of Telecommunications Policy to make sure
everything was Perfectly Clear.

In this case, everything is. The 226
non- commercial TV stations currently have
to survive on $4S million a year, allocated
after the Presidential veto of a two-year

$155 million budget.

John Macy, president of the Corporation
for Public Broadcasting since its beginning
was replaced in November by Henry W. Loomis.
Macy was no flaming liberal, having pre-
viously served in the War Department, Atomic
Energy Commission, and Department of the
Army. Mr. Loomis, however, is not only
devoted to Nixon, but was a deputy direc-
tor of the USIA, our international pro-
paganda network.

The CPB now perfectly reflects the
policies sent from the White House via
Clay Whitehead's Office of Telecommunications
Policy. For the past year, the OTP has
"jawboned" local station managers and PTV
bureaucrats with the Nixon doctrine on
public television. The litany includes "bed-
rock localism" in program origination, little
or no networking, satisfaction with tiny
audiences, an avoidance of controversy and
public affairs programming in general, em-

pnasis on "culture" and "education", and
of course, a marked reversal of the "Eastern
liberal bias" of everyone involved. That
message is repeated by both Loomis at CPB
and Nixon's Federal Communications Commis-
sion chief, Dean Burch.

However jaded and resigned the PTV
bureaucrats have become, few were prepared
for Henry Loomis 's first official act
Totally ignoring the Public Broadcasting
Service, the networking and programming
arm. of PTV, Loomis wired 142 local stations
to offer as much as 21 hours of NASA moon

shot coverage in December. The package,
budgeted at $500,000, would include a
special group of scientists and science
reporters gathered by NASA to "emphasize
the scientific aspects of the mission."
Finally, NASA offered to contribute all
pool and feed costs for networking the 3-day
broadcasts. Variety's Bill Greeley com-
mented, "The anti -journalistic aspects
of this NASA boondoggle run so deep, they're
a chore to list."

The proposal drew an immediate angry
response from the slighted bureaucrats at
PBS, who blinked to discover that program-
ming as well as financing had suddenly be-
come part of the White House domain. Loomis
and NASA withdrew the offer with some em-
barrassment, leaving the CPB and PBS direc-
tors to work out position papers on who
should have control over programming.

The answer to that hasn't taken long to
arrive. Under pressure from the Administra-
tion, the CPB announced that most of the
PTV public affairs programs will be axed
from the schedule. Among them are "Bill
Movers 1 Journal," 'Washington Week in
Review," Sandor Vanocur wherever -he might
appear, and William F. Buckley's "Firing
Line"--pulled for a little political
balanced. What remain are a lot of BBC
cultural imports, and "Sesame Street."

John Macy was the last CPB official to
fight the open politicization of public
television, and now only a few pockets of
resistance remain at the local level in
New York, Boston, San Francisco and Los
Angeles .

At present, there is no political base
for countering the Nixon Network in
Washington. "Retrenchment" is the word
of the season. The fact that the Neilson
ratings report PTV audiences are often too
small to measure seems little consolation.
For the next four years , the password is
"Read a book."

Magic Moments

by Jeff Daiell

As well as being a most pleasant
individual, Preston the Hypnotist also
proved himself to be a superlative performer
last Saturday night in the SUB.

The Kentucky -born Preston, who first
began performing magic while in junior high
brought the same show to Centenary that had'
delighted so many Gents last year. This was
because, he said, no one notices the new
and they all miss the old.

Among some of the magic tricks that
Preston, who has toured Europe, played the
White House, and performed in honor of
General "Hap" Arnold (the Air Force's first
5u Ve ."n S , tar p neral ) ^owed last Saturday were
the Vanishing Bird Cage", the 'lynching
Escape , the "Disappearing Needles", and nine

Looking rather like a Confederate
officer in his gray suit, gray hair, black
bow tie and white pleated shirt, Preston
then called for intermission and later
commenced his hypnotism act. It is an art

semipro with his magic act in Kentucky

THE CONGLOMERATE

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY

by Lou Graham

It's A Beautiful Day came into the Gold
Dome last Thursday night, riding on three
previous albums- It 's A Beautiful Day, Choice
Quality Stuff /Anytim e, and Live"artarnegle"
" ai i " an ° promises of a new release in March.

The usual group of high schoolers came
to see Hot Sauce and I.A.B.D. along with
equal representation of College students and
a strange mixture of older people. Hot
Sauce came on lacking something, and if
they were waiting on audience response to
fulfill whatever it was they were missing,
they waited in vain. Shreveport rock fans
are famous (infamous?) for their lack of
real enthusiasm for most any touring group,
regardless of how big -name a group is.

Anyway, Hot Sauce did leave something
to be desired, and I thTnk this was that
they really weren't together. That is, they
knew the music, but couldn't put it together
as a group. The raspy, too loose voice of
the lead singer seemed to be an attempt at
something like J.J. Cale, Rod Stewart or
even (ugh) Jim Dandy Mangrum of Black Oak,
Arkansas. If you've listened to any of
these or other people lately, it is appa-
rent that the beautiful voices like Ian
Gillan (Deep Purple) and James Seals are not
prerequisites for any singer in a group.

Well, after a poor reception for Hot
Sauce, It's A Beautiful Day came out. What
I really had expected was that I.A.B.D.,
hearing about the lousy audience response,
would hand all of us in the audience the
ultimate put -down. Not so. The six-member
group came on blasting out "Bye Bye Baby"
from their Choice Quality Stuff a lbum,
and from there it was an outrageous concert.

If you can recall, there was a very foxy'
chick onstage-Pattie Santos, there was also
a violinist that had a lot in common with
Ms. Santos, David Laflanroe. Both played and
sang with tremendous force and David was
highlighted with his solo performance during
the elongated version of "Bombay Calling."
David has produced the first two albums and
knows how to work with an audience as felt
through Live At Carnegie Hall . The other
members are Val Fuentes on drums, Billy
Gregory handling guitars along with Hal
Wagenet, and Mitchell Holman on bass.

Once again the crowd was down to par,
giving response a light year short of what
I.A.B.D. deserved, yet the band was playing
with such togetherness that thev showed the
audience that the power is in the music, not
in the audience itself. After a double
encore (the final being similar to hill

pression that It's A Beautiful Day is de-
finitely on the same plane as any other
famous rock group.

RECORDS, CONCERTS
After Chicago, Santana and Wishbone Ash
are supposedly scheduled to visit Shreveport
in April. Neil Young is going on tour
throughout the Southern circuit, stopping in
Dallas on the 16th and 17th of this month,
before coming to Shreveport the following
week. Rumor has it that Led Zepplin is
going to Little Rock. Whether or not this
hype can be good or not only time will tell.
Also, Uriah Heep is going to be here, ac-
cording to some "inside" sources -we '11 see
what evolves.

Some albums to at least listen to that
have been out for a while: Jethro Tull's
Living In The Past is a good 2 -record album,
with some of the group's nostalgic cuts
from previous albums. Grand Funk's Phoenix
shows a totally different style, with the
addition of an organist. Wishbone Ash - Argus
has got to be one of the best albums of
1972. A touch of Yes can be seen in Flash's
second album In the Can , but their style is
becoming more unique than before, in their
title album. For those who are more into
softer rock, Chicago V is pretty good. Sum-
mer Breeze , the fourth brainstorm of Dash"
Crofts and James Seals has to be one of
the most beautiful releases by this duo yet.

PURE CAPTAIN BEEFHEART

Captain Beefheart has always had the
Droblem of being inaccessible to the great
mass of record buyers, because of his, shall
we say, somewhat advanced ideas. As his
childhood friend Frank Zar>pa said, "No
commercial potential." Ironically, Zappa
himself has enjoyed a great deal of success,
due mainly to self-made claims about the
advanced nature of his music. Of the two,
there's little doubt~~that Captain Beefheart

will emerge, despite his taciturn digni
[!.'l as the more revolution
perhaps not in his lifetime

n dignity ,
Although

Critical acclaim has never been lacking,
but it's nice to sell a few records too.
Apparently Beefheart and his new producer Ted
Templeman have reached the same conclusion,
because his latest album, Clear Spot [Reprise
211S) comes across as a strong bidTor
commercial success.

Not entirely vanished, but certainly
relegated to a supporting role, are the
weirdo rhythms and avant-garde jazz inter-
ludes of Beefheart's last few albums. He's
not back singin' the blues like on those
early A&M singles exactly, but he is operat-
ing at pretty nearly the level of his first
album, which with its hummable melodies and
fairly standard rock ft roll instrumentation
is still, I believe, his biggest seller to

date.

The songs are actual "songs," with verses
and choruses, and their meanings are not hard
to figure out. "My Head Is My Only House
Unless It Rains" sounds as conventional as
something by Lou Rawls. "Crazy Little Thing"
simply raves about some wild female of Beef-
heart's acquaintance. "Long Necked Bottles"
is a fairly straight blues in the John Lee
Hooker mold, while 'Too Much Time" sounds
like an Otis Redding album track on Stax
Records .

Listening to this album makes me wonder
where Beefheart would be today if he had
decided to play it straight, kept singing
blues as he was at the start, and allowed
himself to develop in that direction. He
could've been a brilliant songster but he's
already much more. Yet Beefheart is one of
music's true geniuses; his vision and imagi-
nation span whole categories of music; his
songs are as much jazz as rock, and not so
much of either as they are pure Beefheart.

Even on this album, if you get into the
most ordinary -seeming songs, you find little
word tricks, an inspired poetry of lyric
every bit up to his previous standard. And
there are a couple of songs that stray into
the weird atonal Beefheart universe of yore.
"Big Eyed Beans From Venus "--the album's
longest track- -ventures somewhat cautiously
into the bizarre but manages to stake out
quite a bit of odd territory in its 4:23.
"Golden Birdies" is a fascinating narrative,
recited over discordant and intermittent
guitar jumbles.

So there's plenty here for the hardened
Beefheart fan, as well as for those who
prefer to be led through more familiar land
on the way to Beefheart's world. I doubt if
he'll stay on this track for long, but he'll
likely pick up a lot of new followers while
he does.

THE ROWAN BROTHERS lUty flQrj £|

Want to have a hit album? It's easy:
just learn to play some innocuous acoustic
melodies, add lyrics full of pseudo-meta-
physical claptrap, and get Jerry Garcia so
stoned he doesn't mind saying you sound like
the next Beatles. From there it's only a
hop, skip and a jump to a half -million
dollar contract with Columbia, a billboard
on Sunset Strip, and a lead review in
Rolling Stone .

That's basically what happened to the
Rowan Brothers. Not exactly, of course.
Their album (Columbia KC 31297) actually
caps off a couple years' worth of playing
around Marin County and the Bay Area and
building up a loyal following of yoga
students and cosmic groupies (the kind
that give Tantric head) . But the bit
about the Beatles is true, and all I can
say is that Garcia must be in a lot worse
shape than I thought.

What these guys really have going for them
is a thorough grasp of slick, commercially
hip acoustic harmony, which gets them past
the hurdle of basic competence that's about
all you need to achieve superstardom these
days. Their mush-headed metaphysics must
pick them up a few converts, but with all the
hard-core mystics on the road these days,
from Quintessence to the Rainbow Band and
Shanti, that could hardly be a large factor.

But I wonder, will all the people who
buy this album try to get into the songs, go
around quoting to each other lyrics like
"he's waiting in the garden where the seeds
of life are sown for a million years'? There
ain't much here once you start to take it
apart. All the songs but one are about the
quest for cosmic consciousness, and their
approach to it all is so hackneyed, pre-
tentious and banal that it must look ridi-
culous even to those who believe this stuff.
'Take your time, then you'll find peace of
mind." That, supposedly from a wizard,
sounds more like the wisdom of Fred ftacMurray.
How about, "if I make it I need return no
more," from their reincarnation song? Don't
it kinda get you, right here?

This album does, hcwever, include one
brilliant song. "All Together" is completely
out of place here, and should have been left
on the single it also occupies. From
acoustic slush to this monumental space- rock
production job, full of whooshing synthesizers
out -of -phase phasing, and ends of words echo-
ing off into the winds of space, it sounds
like the Monkees might 've if they'd survived
to 1970 and decided to copy Pink Floyd. And
the lyrics to this one are so dumb they're
actually great:

'The universe is nothing but a
fantasy, of life's illusions
throughout eternity. Beginning
from the whim within the womb
of space of Consciousness evolv-
ing through the human race."
Then the drum beat pounds in and the
strings swirl through the chorus:
"All together, all together as
one. All together 'round the sun."
There's more, too, about everything
being related in a cosmic plan and love
being the essential truth that rules
supreme. But the great thing about the
song is its production, a totally syn-
thetic, very English pop sound, like
Electric Light Orchestra or something,

except totally humorless.

Of course, they take it all serious-
ly, like the Scientologists whose rep-
tile eyes they share. I truly enjoy the
record, in a limited way, but it does
sadden me to think that a lot of people
consider it more meaningful than, say,
"Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Poka Dot
Bikini" by Brian Hyland. Because, when
you come right down to it, it's all the
same.

The Decamaron

Review by Tom Brom

Pasolini's obvious enjoyment with these
tales from Giovanni Boccaccio's 14th cen-
tury classic is immediately contagious,
fiich of the acting is broad and theatrical,
set off with bright colors and the music
of a medieval festival. The faces Pasolini
discovered are often outrageous --grotesques
with a single tooth, a nose spread lan-
guidly across an old man's face, a cack-
ling obese usurer, and a young woman with
an ethereal fladonna beauty. But these
elements somehow work, placed in the stone
ruins of God -knows -what city, looking ex-
actly like what I imagine 14th century I-
talian cities to have been.

Structure in this film has been tossed
to the winds. Pasolini begins abruptly
with the tale of a foppish youth tricked
for his money and dumped into a cesspool.
Another story about slipping into a nunnery,
and its nuns, begins with no apparent con-
tinuity or direction. In fact, Pasolini
has generally chosen one tale from each of
the ten fictional story-tellers of the
Decameron. Each day of tales had a theme
in the original- -"adventures leading to
a happy ending", or "tricks played by
wives on their husbands." But this
thematic thread is lost in the film.

On one occasion Pasolini depicts an old
man squatting in a crowd on the street,
telling one of the Decameron tales to his
delighted audience. The frame works only
if you instantly identify his tale as
also from Boccaccio.

Despite the chaos, it is impossible not
to enjoy these stories. Pasolini's Marxist
politics show in a profound and delightful
way- -he has an obvious affection for the
working class and the peasant morality
that so often bursts the hypocrisy of
Boccaccio's wealthy gentry.

Pasolini's class analysis of history
also enables him to clearly portray peasant
and bourgeoisie, done with precise at-
tention to detail and no apparent rancor.
He openly likes these characters , warts ,
rotten teeth, strong smell and all. That
enjoyment makes the constant japes at
Church morality- -stealing rings from a
dead bishop, a wanton Mother Superior, or
a naively pious priest --all the sweeter.

Despite the good spirits, however, many
of these classic ribald tales are strange-
ly quaint today. Fornicating nuns are
plainly irrelevant, a joke for centuries
in Catholic nations but hardly naughty
within the serious context of r hurch
activism during the past decade. The
tale dealing with courtly love was plainly
from another era- -three brothers kill their
sister's peasant lover to save the family
from shame, but she discovers the body and
saves the head under a plant in her room.
That may have been tragic or romantic once,
but now seems merely macabre.

The frequent changes of pace from tale
to tale, and the total absence of transition,
prevent real identification with the char-
acters, The effect is a distancing that
causes the film to be seen as artifice, as
a uniquely accurate visualization of the
14th century, but devoid of contemporary
meaning .

Pasolini himself had no such difficulty
getting into the material . In the only
major deviation from the original work,
Pasolini extends a tale concerning the
painter Giotto and casts himself in the
role. Again, determining the meaning
of the sequence, which ends the film, re-

quires information from outside the film.
Giotto paints a beautiful triptych above
the altar of a chapel, but completes only
the first two panels. The triptych becomes
a symbol for Pasolini's cwn work, self-
consciously beautiful but unfinished.
That's a nice sentiment ending an enjoyable
film, but a bit presumptuous set in the
Decameron , and equated with the painting
of the Italian master, Giotto.

Young Winston

Review by Pam and Michael Rosenthal

Young Winston is our odds -on favorite,
over strong competition, for turkey of 1972.
It is a sorry, bloated exercise in misplaced
hero-worship, with no saving graces beyond
pleasant acting and a minimally literate
screenplay. Worst of all is the self-
congratulatory tone of the production, the
air of cultural high-mindedness which sug-
gests that seeing the film should be as
uplifting and edifying as a visit to a
natural history museum.

It has that same static, oppressively high-
brow quality of an early sound film in the
days when movies were considered lowbrow en-
tertainment, and the theatre was thought the
proper place for high art. A producer who
set out to make a film that would cast cre-
dit on the industry, would make it as much
like the theatre as possible, relying en-
tirely on the script and suppressing the
activity and expressiveness of the camera.
Not only is Young Winston outmoded in form,
elitist in its pretensions, reactionary in
its assumption that history is the saga of
great men's great exploits; it also ignores
everything that has been learned in the
past twenty years about the power of the
camera to tell a story.

The drama, such as it is , hinges on poor
Winston's neglect at the hands of his ido-
lized father, a witty statesman -aristocrat,
lately fallen from power and slcwly deteri-
orating with syphilis. Sir Randolph rarely
communicates with his son, beyond snarling
"You are my greatest disappointment" as
Winnie flunks wretchedly through the elite
schools and appears well on his way to be-
coming a useless upper class wastrel.

After his father's death, Winston com-
pensates for his battered ego by becoming a
compulsive overachiever , pushy, brash and
ambitious, always attempting to prove him-
self to the ghost of his father. In his
maiden speech, when he reaches Parliament,
he brilliantly champions the issue that
brought about Sir Randolph's political down-
fall. He thereupon says he feels "tired ...
but free. It's odd. I feel free" and
steps from under his father's shadow to
become the great statesman the whole world
loves and admires and so forth.

Something might have been done with the
story, if those involved had realized that
it was nothing more ennobling than a
fairy tale, like Cinderella or the Ugly
Duckling, in which the scorned outcast be-
comes a Prince. But they persist in a
ponderous, professorial approach, never
letting us forget that we are in the awe-
some presence of budding greatness . So the
entire weight of the picture rests on our
willingness to believe that Winston S.
Churchill is a worthy inspirational figure
for young and old.

We are not well enough versed in Euro-
pean history to give a well documented
opinion; but there is a lot of evidence
in the quotations from Churchill recited
during the film. During an improbable
lecture to the hoped-for youth market, the
script has Winston proclaim: "If I could,
I would say this to young men all over the
world- -come on! You must take your places
on life's fighting line... You will make
mistakes , but as long as you are generous
and true you cannot hurt the world. She
was made to be wooed and won by youth!
She has lived and thrived only by repeated
subjugations! M

Fortunately, the audience is likely to
be too deadened by the time to be adver-
sely affected by the movie's advocacy of
the central theme of imperialism: that the
proper model for valiant conduct in history
is rape.

ALOHA! Gents in Honolulu Tonight
To Open 2-Game Set with Rainbows

by Tom Marshall

The Centenary
Gents take their
high-scoring, ball-
hawking, hustling
basketball team to
the island of Oahu
tonight to open a
two-game series with
the University of
Hawii Rainbows.

The trip, a bien-
nial event, has
special significance
tkis year in that
the outcome of the
two contests will be
pivotal in determin-
ing if the Gents are
to reach the goal of
20 victories that
they set for them-
selves at the begin-
ning of the season
nearly three months
ago.

"If we're going
to get to 20, we'll
need two out of
three without a
doubt," predicted
Centenary Head Coach
Larry Little prior
to the Gents' depar-
ture Sunday.
That left the

Gents room for one , , „

loss on the three-game swing and they've al
ready used it. Arizona State stopped Cen-
tenary, 89-79, Monday night in a game played
in Tempe, Arizona.

7,500 Screaming Fans
So that means that a pair of wins is a
must for the Gents, starting tonight. And
it won f t be easy. For one thing, the Rain-
bows have a faithful and vocal following.
Seme 7,500 Hawaii fans fill the 'Bows'
sports palace every time they open the
doors.

For another thing, there's Tom Henderson.
Henderson, a 6-3 transfer from San Jacinto
Junior College in Pasadena, Tex., was one of

TEMPE, Arir. -'We needed to play a good
ball game; we had to have it to win. And
we just didn't get it."

That '3 hew Centenary Head Coach Larry
Little described his Gents' 89-79 loss to the
Arizona State Sun Devils here Wednesday in
the first game of a three-game western road
trip for the Shreveport team.

Mike Contreras lead the Sun Devils'
point barrage with 2S points, and four other
A-Staters hit in double figures. Big 6-11
center Ron Kennedy had 10 points in addition
to holding Centenary seven- footer Robert
Parish to only 12 points.

Parish was plagued by foul trouble
throughout the game. He drew his third
personal with 2:33 to play in the first half
and, after sitting out the rest of that half,
drew his fourth foul five minutes into the
second half and dgain had to be benched.

Arizona State held a 39-35 half time
advantage and came out smokin' -50 points
worth- -in the second half. The Sun Devils
led by as much as 15 several times in the
second half, while the closest the Gents could
manage to cock . dS ol-S" with eight minutes
to play.

Offensive Letdown

'Wir offense is what let us down," allowed
Little, adding, We just did not move well."
The 79-pojnt cucput by the Gents equalled
their third loves t performance of the season.
Centenary, averaging over 90 points ^
contest, has not von a game in which it has
scored less than 30 points.

If there is any
consolation for Lit-

it's the fact that
the Rainbows are cur-

break out of their

four out of five. Back home, the Rainbows'
drought continued as they dropped a pair

game feud with the University of Portland
last weekend.

The Gents, meanwhile, are 15-6 after Monday
night's loss, and have won three of their last
four games . (

Little summed up his feelings about the
Hawaii series like this: "If we go out and

should win. It may take two of our better
games, but i 'm confident we can do it."

James Lynn: Voice of the Gent lei

by Mary Oakland

"T try to use my voice to be the eyes
of the people who are listening to the ball
game so that you can actually close your
eyes and follow tho ball up and down the
court and know exactly where it is and who's
doing what."

This is the way sportscaster James
Lynn expressed his philosophy of play-by-
play broadcasting in an interview at the
KWKH station Friday. He is currently the
announcer for most of the Gents ' games .

SPORTS FEATURE

Lynn began his career in radio by
working part-time at the station in Lees-
ville, his home, when he was in high school.
"I liked two things really- -music and
sports." He was able to do both by "spinning
records" and announcing the Lees vi lie High
School football games.

When he got to Northwestern State Uni-
versity, he found he didn't even have time
for one of his main interests, the baseball
team, because he became so involved with
the radio station (KNOC) in Natchitoches.
There he did his first basketball game play-
by-play.

He was just resting in his dorm room
when the KNOC sportscaster, Norman Fletcher,
came into his room. After walking around
the room for a minute, Norm squeaked, "You
going home this weekend?" with a definite
case of laryngitis. When Fletcher found out that
Lynn was going to be in town that night, the case
was closed, and Lynn got his first taste of doing
play-by-play basketball.

Practical Experience vs. Books

Lynn was also able to more clearly outline his
career by majoring in speech with a minor in jour-
nalism. However, he said, "I really feel like I
learned everything I know about the business by
working at the radio station and not by going to
college. Practical knowledge- -there 's no compar-
ison between that and what you can learn out of
a book."

He has been working on KWKH and KROK for four
years now as James Lynn. (His real name is James
Hawthorne, his daughter's name is Jamie Lynn. Hence,
James Lynn.) This is his first season as sports-
caster for Centenary games .

When asked about the difficulty of being a
sportscaster, Lynn replied, "After having done play-
by-play for thirteen
years, fortunately I've
developed a pattern
that just comes out.
I 'm not even aware
most pf the time of
what I'm saying." He
went on to say that
basketball is the ea-
siest sport to do.
"The hardest sports
to broadcast are the
ones where there's
the least amount of
action- -you really
have to think and know
what you're saying. I

Once Lynn did
"pull a real blooper"
on the air. He was
reading a commercial
which ended, "Bunny '
Bread- -the best in
bread," and accident-
ally read it, "Bunny M
Bread- -the breast in bed

SPORTSCASTER JAMES LYNN

. . . marks down two more for Centenary .

(Feature Photos by Tom Marshall)

I laughed for five
minutes on the air," Lynn recalls.

Lynn says he knows the Centenary team, so only
has to worry about learning trie other ball club
and keeping a scorebook during the game. "I
would shudder to think what a person wou_ld do if
he had never broadcast a game and he went to the
Centenary gym for his first game."

He usually travels with the team and broad-
casts back to Shreveport by using a telephone, a
coupler. Unfortunately, he was not able to go
on the Hawaii trip. Time difference was the main
reason. A 7:30 p.m. game in Hawaii would be
broadcast in Shreveport at 1:30 a.n.

Traveling with the team helps Lynn to really
get to know its members. This results in his
being relatively subjective when broadcasting
their games. 'When I follow a team every game
and I'm on the road with them, I know them per-

sonally. I eat with 'em, I sleep with 'em, and
I'm for 'em all the way. They're my ball club,
and I'm very prejudiced so I'll say 'We need to
score.' But," Lynn adds, "I won't hesitate to
say they look bad either."

KWKH gets into about 30 states, including a
main coverage area of about 8 million people.
Nevertheless, there's no sure way of knowing
how many of those people listen to the Cen-
tenary games. A national rating service takes
polls twice a year, but not during the time
Centenary games are on.

At this point, Lynn was reminded of the
trouble people occasionally have picking up
KROK on the radio. He explained that there
are three main problems involved. (1) KMBQ
is very close to KROK on the dial and JCIbQ's
transmitter is right on 1-20. Most FM sets
have automatic frequency controls designed to
grab the stronger signal. Therefore, when a per-
son is listening to KROK, the AFC will sometimes
"reach over and grab" KMBQ. (2) KROK's trans-
mitter is in Dixie,
La. , which is
about 12 miles north
of Shreveport , and
(3) KROK needs
"dual polarisation"
(which it doesn't
now have) to be
able to put out
both horizontal and
vertical signals.

He went on to
say that those
working for KWKH
realize they do
have some signal
problems "which we
nope will be
corrected this
year. I 've lived
in three or four
different parts of
town and I 've

never had any

aammummaaumuamuaaaaauammaaaamaammauaammm trouble picking

us up, but you usually have to have an antenna."

Mojor Network Spor t scasting

Lynn ended by saying that one of his
ambitions would be to do major network sports.
"However, I like programming, and who's to say.
Within five years, KROK will, with a little
luck, be the number one music station in town.
I may enjoy just staying here programming and
broadcasting Centenary's basketball p.ames."

"I've gotten to know the team, and I've
got to know a little something about the school.
I'm a 100 per cent Centenary fan. Even when we
went to Northwestern this year, and played the
Demons, I was pulling for Centenary all the way.
They are definitely the finest bunch of guys I've
ever known."

a few match dates remain to be filled.
Causey expects a complete schedule to be
available in the near future.

Besides the opening match with LeTour-

Top scorer on this
year's junior varsity
squad with a 21.9 per
game average .. .Had 38
points against Tyler
and 33 at UTA. . .Comes
to Centenary from Al-
bany's Philip Schuyler
High, the same school
as the Homes .. .Hit ting
for the top percentage
on the tean at .544--
whidi is incredible
considering that most
of his shots are long
range bombs . . .Good
speed and quickness , has
a big asset to the Gents

the potential to be
in the near future.

Centenary's streaking Gentlets, utilizing
a combination of experienced sophomores and
talent-laden freshman, have run off an 11-
game win streak since the Christmas recess
and now take a two-week break before playing
their final two contests of the season.

The Centenary junior varsity cagers last
lost on December 18 to Tyler Junior College.
After nearly three weeks off the court, they
came back and defeated Fort Polk on January
6 in a rematch of an earlier loss and have
not lost in 1973. After handling the Army
team, the Gentlets' string consisted of
victories over Northwestern State University,
Louisiana College (twice), Texas -Arlington
(twice), Kimball's Business Machine, Gram-
bling College, University of Houston and
the Intramural All-Stars.

Freshman sharpshooter Nate Bland, an
Albany, N.Y., native, is the leading Gent-
let point maker, scoring 21.9 points per
game. The smooth guard prepped at Philip
Schuyler High School in Albany (the same
school that gave Centenary Roadrunner and
Skeeter Home) , where he averaged more than
25 points per game. "Nate the Skate" has
received ample scoring support from Barry
McLeod (15.8 ppg) , Cal Smith (15.1) and
Rick Jacobs (15.0) .

Smith, a 6-7 frosh from Normal, 111.,
leads the team in rebounds grabbing 13.3 per
outing, while Jacobs has been hauling in
11.7 per game.

Centenary Head Coach Larry Little is not
at all surprised at the Gentlets' recent
surge; rather, he gives the impression that
he would be concerned had they not started
playing basketball up to their capabilities.
"There's no reason for a team with that much
talent not to have a good record," commented
Little.

The Gentlets, now sporting a 15-7 work-
sheet , wind up the season at home , NSU
visiting on February 26 and Houston coming

Gent freshman Cal Smith (44) goes up in a
crowd for two of his team-high 21 points in
a February 5th junior varsity game against
Texas -Arlington in t;ie Gold Dome. Other Gent-
lets m action here are Rick Jacobs (34),
Jim Bonds (20) and Nate Bland (22) . UTA de-
fenders are Mike Griffen (42) and Derrell
Mitchell (4 showing). The Gentlets won,

52-41 in Dome

Ladies Fall to Southern State

The Centenary La-
dies dropped a 52-41
decision to the Sou-
thern State (Ark.)
Riderettes in a game
played Tuesday night
in the Gold Dome.

The Ladies jumped
out to a 22-17 lead
against Southern
State, considered one
of the top women's
college basketball
teams in the nation.

But the second
half proved decisive
for the Ladies as
thev were outs cored
35-20 down the
stretch run. Jan
Lawrence, Joan Medina,
and Lee Denoncourt
were high scorers for
Centenary with 10
points each.

The Ladies, now
1-5 on the season,
travel to Marshall,
Tex . , tonight for a
7:30 game with East
Texas Baptist College.

Wonderment and rapture will be
registered by every countenance pri-
vileged tonight to gaze upon the
thousand beauties of the Strand,
the great million-dollar theater
of the Saenger-Ehrlich Enterprises ,
Inc., at the corner of Louisiana
and Crockett street.

Every effort has been made to
combine practicability with con-
venience .

— The Shreveport Times ,
July 3, 1925

After 48 years, people aren't gazing on
the Strand with rapture and wonderment any-
more. They're tip-toeing through the gum
and dusting their chairs before they sit
down. The public is also questioning the
convenience of the Strand now by avoiding
the downtown theaters in favor of newer,
shopping center theaters.

In an interview with Mr. Joe Gianforte,
manager of the Gulf States Theaters (in-
cludes the Shreve City Cinema, the Broad-
moor, the Don, and all the drive-ins), he
was asked if the downtown theaters really
are dying. His answer was immediate, "No,
that's not true. Downtown is definitely
not dead as far as theaters are concerned."
He continued by saying that "a theater, re-
gardless of where it's located, if it's a
good movie will have people coming." How-

SLTA Delegates
Capture Honors

by Carol Bickers

A year of hard work has finally paid off
for the Centenary Chapter of SLTA. At the
state convention held last weekend in Baton
Rouge, Centenary shared the honors with North-
east as the most active state chapter.

In addition to being awarded a plaque
for their outstanding service, the Centenary
group won first prize in the scrapbook con-
test. Representing the chapter at the state
convention were Nancy Norris, Gay Greer, and
Dr. Joe Garner.

According to President Nancy Norris, the
Centenary group has been active this year
both in terms of individual and group pro-
jects. Noted educators from the Caddo Parish
area have spoken at the monthly meetings, and
members in the organization have been involved
in their own special projects.

Members have worked on the breakfast
program, helped at Noel Methodist House, and
guided the Cub Scout troops at Shriner's
Hospital for Crippled Children and the Caddo
Exceptional School. For the first time in
its history the Centenary SLTA hosted a
drive-in conference in November for the
northern Louisiana chapters.

The next meeting of SLTA will be held on
Monday, March 5 at 4:00 p.m. in Mickle Hall
02. At this time members will make collage
mobiles and other favors for a spring party
at the Shriner's Hospital for Crippled
Children. Anyone interested in making favors
and planning the party is invited to attend.

Senate fce&wtt

by Debby Detrow

The Senate met Tuesday, February 20 in
the SUB offices.

The motion was passed to reinstate the
two rules which had been suspended last week
for the election, Tami Osoinach is now Junior
Female Senator.

Tom Guerin memtioned that 51 people had
signed up for the New Orleans bus trip so far.
He then introduced the proposed Spring budget.
The motion was passed to accept the budget.
Rick Clark will write an article for the
CONGLOMERATE on the subject of the budget.

Jeff Hendricks announced that Conor
Cruise O'Brien has been cancelled for Forums.
Still scheduled is William Everson, who wrote
poetry under the name of Brother Antonio.
He is scheduled for April 9, 10, and 11.
Also, two additional speakers will be sched-
uled for Forums.

New elections for the Senate will be
held during the first week of April.

Absent were Melvin Russell, Mary Jane
Peace, and Sandy Bogucki .

Choir QnTour

The Centenary Choir went on its first tour
of the year giving concerts at Methodist
churches in Lafayette and Baton Rouge. There
were many doubts on and off campus concerning
the choir's performance. It has been a very
hectic year for the choir due to the switch
in directors and other complicated problems.

February 23, 1973

Loud, early morning firecrackers, irate
citizens, and city police followups added up
to, well, an interesting night last Saturday
when campus security officer Ben Piazza, ac-
cording to security chief James M. Smith,
became involved with a series of minor inci-
dents lasting well into Sunday morning.
Around 3 a.m. a rash of firecracker explo-
sions began in Cline Dormitory, following
occasional noise exhibitions earlier in the
vicinity of fraternity row.

At two separate times during his night-
watch, Piazza discovered city police in and
around Cline and the Cobb's Barbecue area
searching for sources of "gunfire," acting
on civilian complaints. According to city
police sources, no entries were made in the
official records.

The Committee on Student Life, the faculty-
student -administration supercommittee which
handled negotiations during last year's dorm
visitation controversy, has called for an
open meeting next week to tackle campus views
on another important area, that of Honor Code
revision. The meeting will be held at 2:00
p.m. next Friday, March 2, in the SUB, ac-
cording to committee chairman Robert Ed Taylor.
Proposals that dorm life be made subject to
the honor code, that the Honor Court hold
public sessions, that the code be abolished,
and that mandatory beginning -of -each -semester
classes in the Honor Code be established,
are among the ideas which may be raised.

* * * *

The Gents -Houston basketball game will
take place later that same day, March 2, and
students are reminded that the Student Senate
will award a ten dollar prize to the person
or group sponsoring the best poster in the
Dome that night.

* * * *

Kenneth Clark's famed "Civilisation"
series of programs exploring the underlying
history, the works of art, the people, places,
music, and terminology of civilized man, will
be shown on campus beginning next week, and
continuing weekly through April 12. The first
two hour -long programs (originally produced
for television) of the thirteen-part series,
"The Frozen World" and "The Great Thaw," may

be seen Thursday night, March 1, at 7:00 p.m.
in Mickle Hall room 114.

* * * *

The Shreveport-Bossier chapter of the
National Organization for Women will meet
Wednesday (Feb. 28) at 7:30 pm at the Student
Nurses' Lounge in the Confederate School of
Nursing, to present a skit entitled "How
Fast Can You Type?" Written by the Quaker
Oats Company for an equal employment work-
shop, the skit portrays a young male bio-
chemist being interviewed by an all -female
personnel department. Contach Holly H.
Duggan at 865-9582 for further information.

Students and faculty members are reminded
that they must pick up their tickets to
next Friday's Centenary -Houston basketball
game on Monday or Tuesday, February 26 or
27 in the Gold Dome. Tickets will be dis-
tributed to students displaying ID cards
at the Athletic Office between the hours
of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on these two
days. Under no circumstances will ID's be
honored at the door the night of the game.

* * * *

Due to certain festivities in the hotel
area, Centenary's busses will not be able to
leave New Orleans until after 6:00 p.m.
Sunday, moving the E.T.A. back past midnight
Darn those Mardi Gras parades!

* * * *

Faculty members at their monthly meet-
ing held Monday voted to rearrange the
CONGLOMERATE and YONCOPIN into a new
Committee on Communications, which also
will have control over the planned campus
radio station initiated by Dr. Webb Pom-
eroy and others. The new committee,
assuming the publications functions of
the present Committee on Student Life, will
be composed of students, faculty, and board
members with the names yet to be announced
by Dr. John Allen as of CONGLOMERATE press -
time. r

Centenary Chaplain Robert Ed Taylor has
announced that Rabbi Richard A. Zionts , spir-
itual leader of B'nai Zion Congregation, will
speak in the Chapel on Thursday, March 1st
at 10:40 a.m.

A native of Pittsburgh, the Rabbi at-
tended the university of Pittsburgh and
graduated the owner of a Phi Beta Kappa key
in 1960, being ordained as Rabbi (from the
Hebrew words "my teacher") from the Hebrew
Union College's Jewish Institution of Religion
m Cincinnati, in 1965, being awarded a Mas-
ter of Arts in Hebrew Letters.

but the performance last weekend made the
extra effort well worth it.

Dr. William Ballard, the new director,
has done an excellent job in organizing the
music that formed the sacred and secular
concerts. The director and the choir members
are also to be commended for their untiring
efforts toward retaining the traditional
qualities that have made the choir great in
the past. They proved this weekend that
they are still Centenary's Ambassadors of
Goodwill .

The secular concert included "Casey Jones"
(a railroad folk song arranged specifically
for the choir by Will Irwin of the Radio City
Music Hall), "All the World Needs is Love,"
"In the Still of the Night," and others.
The sacred numbers included three Randall
Thompson pieces; 'Make Thou In Me God " by
Brahms, an arousing spiritual; "Every Time
I Feel the Spirit" (which sent church con-
gregations into applause); and others.

Rare Books Room
Open on Tuesdays

The Pierce Cline Memorial Room at the
Library will be open from 4 to 6 PM on Tues-
days throughout the spring semester. The
CI me Room, which is the Library rare book
room, is named in honor of the late President

?o^f lte 7?T Colle g?. Pierce Cline (1933-
1943). It houses the Library collection of
rare and unusual books that range from an
ancient Babylonian cone and an incunabulum
published in Basle in 1488 to various scarce

World War, and the recent post-war years

The Cline Room also houses the early
records of Centenary College and the College
of Louisiana, the Archives of the Louisiana
Conference of the United Methodist Church,
and the Historical Collection of the North
Louisiana Historical Association, which is
deposited for safekeeping with the Centenary
Library.

Mrs. Lucile Tindol , who is in charge of
the classifying of the North Louisiana His-
torical Association manuscript and clipping
collection, has scheduled her work to be in
the Cline Room every Tuesday afternoon. She
is specifically available to help the stu-
dents in Dr. Haas' history seminar

ever, he did acknowledge the fact that it's
natural that people would look for con-
veniences like free parking when they go to
movies .

The idea that the downtown theaters are
booking black movies which attract a black
audience was mentioned, and Mr. Gianforte
commented, "It's just the way the features
are falling. We place our features where
we feel they'll get the largest response. "
Mr. Fred Richards, manager of the Strand
and Capri (Interstate Theaters) briefly
alluded to the black- feature , black audience
trend by saying, "Your product determines
your clientele."

There already is one all-black theater
in Shreveport. The Ritz Cinema, located on
Milam Street, has one other characteristic:
it's the least expensive theater in town,
charging only $1.50 to adults and 50 * to
children.

Mr. Gianforte also discussed the method
the Shreveport theaters use in getting their
features. There's a three-way split between
Gulf States, Interstate, and General Cinema.
(General Cinema controls Quail Creek Cinema.)
The three company heads get together and make
a list of the pictures labelling them "A,"
"B," and "C," trying to make them as evenly
divided as possible. At one time Interstate
has first choice, next General Cinema, then
Gulf States, and the rotation continues.
Sometimes a theater gets a movie that they
don't really want to pay for, so the manager
puts up for bids.

As far as Gulf States Theaters is con-
cerned, the list system is much preferred
over the bidding system. The discussion
was especially interesting in view of the
fact that national publications have sug-
gested that many downtown theaters are
forced to pay more for films than suburban
theaters. Due to the list system, this is
not applicable to Shreveport.

Mr. Richards felt that the whole the-
ater business is "highly speculative."
It was simply by accident that Quail Creek
got two of the biggest attractions. 1776
at Joy's Cinema~III was supposed to really
be a success , but it turned out to be a
flop. The Strand got The Godfather and
Love Story because it has the largest seat-
ing capacity.

He compared finding good films to scouting
for football players. In football, the coach
looks around to find the best players to form
his team. In the theater business, the mana-
gers are always "scouting" for the best movies
and hoping that they'll be successful in their
area.

Both managers also mentioned the con-
cession stands and the wages of their em-
ployees. Their general feeling was that the
prices in the concessions are pretty well
stable, varying only a nickel, if any at all,
between theaters. As far as the profits from
the concessions are concerned, Mr. Gianforte

said they '*play a very major part in a the-
ater's economy." Richards agreed, "A helluva
lot of your percentage of your profit is
based on your concessions. You charge what
will make the profits."

Many movie -goers don't even consider the
fact that the theaters are making more profits
behind the concessions counter than in the
ticket booth until they run for a coke and a
candy bar during a dull moment in a film.
Then , they discover they're paying 25* or 30*
Tor 2 1/2 oz. of popcorn or 20<t for a 10*
candy bar.

On the wages of employees, Mr. Gianforte
was understandably silent. After explaining
that theaters and restaurants are exempt from
minimum wage laws, he closed the topic quick-
ly by saying, "I would rather not get into
the area of salary." Mr. Richards gave three
reasons for paying under minimum wage:
(1) the theaters aren't involved in inter-
state commerce, (2) the jobs don't require
skilled labor, and (3) in most cases, theater
employees are only working for supplemental
salaries .

This seemed like a good time to talk to
a theater employee himself. The manager of
the Quail Creek Cinema has worked at other
theaters in the Shreveport area and believes
that Quail Creek pays more than any other
theater- -$1.25/hour and up. A bill has
been introduced that would include theaters
in the minimum wage law, but there haven't
been any results yet. Apparently the em-
ployees aren't complaining.

Mr. Gianforte and Mr. Richards were
asked about the possibility of giving
discounts to students with I.D.'s.
They were both very negative about this
because they had tried it and not liked
it. Too many students had abused the
privilege. Mr. Richards explained the way
prices are set by saying, "The public sets
the price. You always charge what the
traffic will bear." (Anyone wishing to
better understand this system should see
Dr. Woodrow Pate.)

YONCOPIN

Since 1969, Centenary has had a YONCOPIN
problem. Last year's YONCOPIN produced an
excellent example of the mass consumer dis-
satisfaction possible when a yearbook, or
any product, is planned, manufactured , and
distributed to captive consumers . Nobody
liked the thing, not even the editor, but
what impractical dreamer would suggest a
Detroit-like recall?

While an inexperienced staff was respon-
sible for much of the poor work marked by
dirty, grainy photos > elusive captions >
rushed deadlines , and lack of unifying direc-
tion > many other faults were caused by the
unresponsive publishing system which has
evolved since 1969.

In that year Centenary 's enrollment began
to drop, forcing Senate funds allocated to
the YONCOPIN to drop accordingly . YONCOPIN
publishing expenses, unfortunately , could
not be cut sufficiently to deal with lowered
income because certain basic printing fees
and yearbook company charges are standard.
Once the yearbook began to cost more than
the Senate could afford ($10 per student),
the Senate balked, and divested itself of
responsibility for the YONCOPIN. Today, ten
dollars frer student is allocated to the year-
book from the $55 general fee, and further
costs are covered by the college administra-
tion and yearbook patrons.

So we still have a YONCOPIN, but the
checking and advising functions once carried
on by the Senate in behalf of the students
are gone. The staff has lost the valuable
guide to campus desires once provided by
the Senate.

Under recently approved committee struc-
ture changes, the publications fall under
the control of the new student-faculty Com-
munications Committee. That committee would
perform a great service by investigating
methods of returning the YONCOPIN to student
responsibleness (the quality of political
answerability) . One possible method might
be to instruct the staff to ignore traditional
bagaboos of yearbook "secrecy" and present
theme ideas, layout plans, budget problems,
and other relevant items to any interested
students at monthly open meetings. Any other
ideas? TLC

LET'S NOT SUPPORT OPEN EAR

To the Editor:

Not only is some of my money taken each
semester in the name of mandatory fees, but
now one dollar of that money is going to an
organization which I have never used and
never will. I am speaking, of course, about
Open Ear. Most of the fees that we, as full
time students pay, go to activities that the
average student would be interested in; Open
Ear is not such an activity.

I am not denouncing Open Ear as an or-
ganization, for all I know it may be a use-
ful thing to have in a community, but if I
want to support it I will put a quarter in
their cans when they come to my door. If
such an organization cannot get enough money
through donations, it is being told that the
community does not want or need it. I most
certainly do not. ~

In the CONGLOMERATE the only benefit of
Open Ear stated explicitly was "... possibly
even recruiting students to Centenary." If
the student senate is truly interested in
recruiting students (as I certainly hope they
are) I am sure they can think of many better
ways .

I have nothing against personal charity,
but to have money of mine, that I gave only
reluctantly, given in my name to an organi-
zation that I do not support, is an insult
to me and hopefully the rest of Centenary's
students.

GETTING IT STRAIGHT

To the Editor:

I am sincerely grateful to you and your
staff, particularly Sissy and John Wiggin
for the feature article in your paper last
week. This publicity has helped us in the
promotion of our Poor Man's Supper as well as
to help our Christian Service Program to be
better known.

However, I do ask that you please correct
one statement in the article. As the article
stated, I did not have an opportunity to talk
with John and Sissy before the article was
written. I presume, therefore, that the in-
formation was taken from a talk that I had
previously given to a group at Centenary
College. I never at any time referred to
the Welfare Department as being bureaucratic
and inefficient.

Perhaps I was misunderstood. When I ex-
plained our program, I pointed out the neces-
sary limitation of the Welfare Department and
other existing agencies and the need for a
program such as ours to be able to assist
families in emergency situations when others
cannot aid. We have a very good working re-
lationship with the Welfare Department and
I have found their workers to be most co-
operative and interested in the people with
whom they work.

Sincerely,

Sister Margaret McCaffrey

near Byrd, now up for sale. Below, that
movie survey is continued from page three.

matinees are only sho./n on Saturdays and
Sundays now at most theaters with the
exception of Quail Creek. There weren't
enough people going to movies to justify
keeping them open on weekday afternoons.
Daily matinees will probably be continued
during the summer.

The interview with Mr. Gianforte was
ended with a slight mention of the incident
involving The Stewardesses and the
Broadmoor roughly a year ago. He was
slightly hesitant to discuss it at any
great length. ("I don't want to stir
up any controversy- -the theater business
can be very ticklish.") Gulf States
was difinitely not trying to turn the
Broadmoor into an x- rated movie house.
The problem is still in the courts,
and the Broadmoor is currently screening
classics of the 30 's, 40 's, and 50 's.

Before ending his CONGLOMERATE
interview, Mr . Richards discussed the
Strand, which is "available if somebody
wants to buy it." He had no idea what
the selling price is. Jim Montgonery
of The Shreveport Times wrote an article
on the possible purchase of the Strand
by Shreveport oilman William H. Parker.
Parker is planning 'MXir Community Theater,"
which would bring in recognized stars in
lead roles with local talent in the
remainder of the casts. He is still
"investigating the possibility of pur-
chasing a major local theater." Hopefully,
the Strand may oneday again bring wonder-
ment and rapture to every countenance
that gazes upon it .

COULD ALL LIFE BE A
PHOSPHATE CONSPIRACY?

A scientist injects some stuff into a
particular part of a cat's brain- -the cat
becomes very angry. The scientist injects
the same substance into another part of the
brain- -the cat goes to sleep. Another
scientist takes the stuff and adds it to
the culture medium in which a cancerous
tumor is growing rapidly- -the tumor cells
revert to normal. Then the scientist takes
the cells and puts them into a medium where
the stuff is scarce- -the cells become can-
cerous again. What is this magical stuff 0

It's actually quite a simple, small mole-
cule: cyclic adenosine monophosphate (or
cAMP) . It is a key messenger in every
living cell, and since its discovery 15
years ago by Earl Sutherland at Washington
University in St. Louis, cAMP has become
one of the most extensively researched
molecules .

You may have read some such things about
cAMP in some newspaper, especially since
Sutherland won the Nobel prize a vear
ago for his discovery. But most
newspapers assume that you are too apathetic
to want to know more details of the
chemical's structure and behavior.

It is because of this lack of conrauni -
cation that words like "cyclic AMP" can
be bandied about like a magic talisman
by those who do know something of its
chemistry. What is done with such
knowledge depends on those who have the
knowledge, because anyone else hardly
knows what is being discussed. So read

on, and reread if necessary, if you want
to know more about one of the most active
substances in your own body.

Cyclic -AMP is made up of three ring-
shaped pieces: adenine, rebose, and
phosphate. It is because the phosphate
(phosphorus attached to four oxygens) forms
a ring that it is called cyclic. Cyclic-AMP
is also called a nucleic acid because,
except for the ring shape of its phosphate,
it is exactly the same as a piece of ribose
nucleic acid (RNA) . Remember that one of
the four bases of RNA and DNA is adenine.

But cAMp is even more closely related
to another ubiquitous molecule --adenosine
triphosphate (ATP) . In fact cAMP is made
from ATP by the enzyme, adenyl cyclase.
Now ATP is the motor that drives every
chemical action in the body. It supplies
energy by letting go one of its three
phosphate groups , thereby becoming adeno-
sine diphosphate (ADP) . (The energy is
actually stored in the bonds holding the
phosphate groups together.) Energy derived
from the metabo-ism of sugars goes into
changing ADP back to ATP. So ATP is sort
of the key to the body's energy banking
system, and the phosphate groups are
sort of like money. With such powerful
phosphate relatives as ATP and RNA (and
DNA) it was obvious from the start of
cAMP research that this little molecule
would go far.

Cyclic-AMP in all of its activities
can be viewed as a within -the -cell messen-
ger. This is because most hormones,
although they are secreted by certain
cells and are carried in the blood
stream to target cells , do not actually
enter the target cells. Rather the hormone
binds to a specific recognition site on
the target cell membrane, and this binding
sets off a chain reaction within the cell.
First an enzyme sitting in the membrane,
adenyl cyclase, is activated. Then this
activated enzyme changes some of the rich
supply of ATP on the inside of the membrane
into cAMP, and the cAMP sets off the chain
of chemical events within the cell that
we associate with the hormone's "message".

A similar role is played by cAMP in
the production of the hormone in the first
place, and in the reception of the nerve
signal that triggered the hormone. Even
the signals between nerve cells are mediated
by cAMP, and this accounts for the direct
effects of cAMP on cat brains.

Gene regulation is another cAMP
special ty. although this has been estab-
lished only for some of the genes of the
bacterium escerichia coli. In order for a
gene ( a length of DNA ) to act, it has to
be copied by RNA. This happens when a wad
of three chemicals attaches to the promoter
site at the beginning of the gene. The
wad is made up of cAMP bound to cAMP-
receptor-protein (CRP) bound to RNA-
polymerase. The RNA -polymerase then runs
along the strand of DNA and links nucleic
phosphates in a sequence corresponding to
the nucleic phosphate sequence of the gene
(the DNA) . The copied sequence is the RNA
that controls the production of a protein.
Remember this whole sequence started with
cAMP.

The effect of cAMP on the tumor cells --
making them revert to normal - -makes sense
if we assume that the cAMP is switching on
genes. It may be that a tunor cell is a
normal cell with certain genes switched off.
It is clear that cAMP will be important for
both cancer therapy and genetic engineering.
And this is probably just the beginning.

When you are immersed in this chemical
stuff long enough, you begin to wonder what
it's all about and come up with things
like this: DNA, RNA, ATP, ADP, cAMP--all
these super-molecules are phosphates. As
far as chemistry' is concerned, the whole
point to evolution is the aggrandisement of
DNA. Throughout evolutionary history,
longer and longer chains of DNA have
developed.

But DNA is just a clever sequence of
four different nucleic phosphates designed
to control the production of an environ-
ment conducive to keeping DNA intact and, if
possible, making it just a wee bit longer.
The key assignments in the controlled
environment for DNA (i.e. living organisms)
are given to phosphate relatives like RNA,
ATP, ADP, and cAMP. It's all a phosphate
conspiracy'. But there must be more to life
than this. Of course, but sometimes it is
enlightening to see life from the "point
of view" of the chemicals running it.

Gents/ Students Journey South
For 'Chamber of Horrors^ Visit

. . . first trip into "Chamber ."

Tennis Season Opens
Today at Longview

the 1973 Centenary tennis season opens
this afternoon when the Gent netters take
the courts at Longview, Tex., for a dual
match against LeTourneau College.

Today's match is the first of a 12-
match schedule for the netters, Coach B.P.
Causey said. Causey also said that there
are several possibilities of additional
matches to be played before the season
ends in May.

Junior Rick Clark is the top player on
the eight -man squad for the third straight
year, and will play the No. 1 singles
match for the Gents in the opening meet
against LeTourneau. Calvin Head will fill
the No. 2 position, followed in order by
Pete Matter, Bo Morris, James Salisbury,
and John Roberts.

David Deufel and Charles Salisbury are
squadmen and fill the No. 8 and No. 9 posi
tions. respectively.

Doubles matchups for the LeTourneau meet
have not been determined.

Causey expressed a cautious optimism
about the opening of the season. "We're
gonna win some and we're gonna lose some,"
said the net coach, but he added that the
netters hope to at least equal last year's
3-8 season mark. 1\vo years ago, the Gents
tennis team was 9-7

Use of Haynes Gym

Any student 0 f Centenary College may use
Haynes Gym. The gym is open for use daily
till 10 p.m. If it is locked during that
time, find or call Officer Smith, Campus
Security Officer. He will let you in, if
you are a student. Haynes Gym is for Cen-
tenary students' use only. You may ask
other students to leave if they can not
prove they attend Centenary. The gym is
under Coach Val Tucker's direction.

Does this sound familiar?

A band blaring in the faces of Coach Larry
Little and his Centenary Gentlemen during
time outs. A crowd taunting officials with
shouts and jeers --some of them unprintable- -
and occasionally pelting them with cups of
ice or the like and going absolutely wild
when the home team does anything positively.

No, the Gents are not going back to Hou-
ston's Hofheinz Pavilion. Not this season,
anyway.

This time it's the "Chamber of Horrors."
That's what they call the home gym of the
LSU-New Orleans Privateers, who'll play host
to the Gents Saturday night.

The "Chamber" may be one of the toughest
places for a visiting basketball team in the
United States --and that includes Hawaii, which
ain't no picnic spot when the Rainbows are
at home.

LSU-New Orleans has a 10-11 record this
season. Don't let that fool you.

At home on the Lakefront, the Privateers
are 9-and-l.

Homecourt Advantage

It's been that way since the New Orleans
school bowed into collegiate basketball just
three years ago. They've only lost three
times in the "Chamber" and won 41 times, in-
cluding 32 straight at one time.

Any question that the Gents are expecting
a tough time Saturday night?

It was Centenary 91, LSU-NO 74, when the
two clubs met in the Gold Dome in mid- January.
That was a lukewarm performance by the Gents
in which Robert Parish got "only" 17 points,
but had 25 rebounds .

Centenary dominated the board play that
night with 68 rebounds to 44 for the Priva-
teers and LSU-NO could point to its 37 per
cent shooting night from the field as an-
other major downfall.

All that could change in the "Chamber" if
Centenary's not careful. The Gents know all
about the home -road balance, having whipped
Indiana State and UT -Arlington at the Dome
only to lose to them on the road.

Parish's season averages following the
Hawaii visit are 23.3 points and 18.9 re-
bounds. Other Gents averaging in double
figures are Larry Davis (14.1) and Leon
Johnson (14.0) with John Hickerson and Mel-
vin Russell just a shade below at 9.4 and
9.2, respectively.

Big Bob's opponent inside Saturday night
will be Gary Hyatt, a 6-9 sophomore out of
Grand Rapids, Mich., who got only eight
points and six rebounds in their first meet-
ing. The Privateers' big offensive threats
are 6-3 senior forward Mel "Hawk" Henderson,
who has a 21 -point -per-game average and was
New Orleans' "outstanding Amateur Athlete"
for January, and 6-4 sophomore forward Milt
Cooper, a New Orleans Booker T. Washington

GENTS °- TV

Centenary has a firm verbal agreement
with the Texas Sports Network, a Houston
firm, to telecast the Gents' March 2 re-
match with the University of Houston Cou-
gars , the CONGLOMERATE learned late Wed-
nesday .

Rumors to the effect that the game
would be televised had been circulating
the campus for approximately 24 hours
previous, and Athletic Director Orvis
Sigler confirmed the report when ques-
tioned Wednesday.

"We have a firm verbal agreement,"
said Sigler. "The actual contract has not
been signed yet, but that is just a for-
mality and we expect to sign the contract
either Friday or Monday."

Sigler said that the network has already
definitely marketed the game in Beaumont
and Houston, Tex., and that Dallas and
Corpus Christi, Tex., are also strong pos-
sibilities for market cities.

In Louisiana, the game may be seen in
Baton Rouge and possibly even in Shreve-
port. Sigler said on the possibility of
a local 'telecast (which would prove a
boon to the hundreds who will undoubtably
be unable to buy tickets), 'Tentatively,
the game will be broadcast locally- -but
only if the Gold Dome is sold out well in
advance . "

The broadcast will be the first time
ever in Centenary's history that a Gents'
game will be televised.

product who got a team-high 21 points at the
Dome.

The other starters for Coach Ron Greene's
team are 6-3 forward Don Louis and 5-11
guard Terry Gill.

It's another tough' road test for the Cents.
But after Hofheinz and Houston, it won't be
anything they haven't faced before. The only
change they'll be looking for is on the score-
board at the end of the game.

ITEMS I, 2 & 3

ITEM : The March 2 Centenary-Houston
basketball game will be regionally telecast
by the Texas Sports Television Network. The
game will be seen in Houston, Beaumont, and
possibly Dallas and forpus Christi , Tex.,
along with some Louisiana cities (including
Shreveport, if the game is an advance sell-

issued by United States District Court in
Shreveport has enjoined the NCAA against
enforcing its probation against Centenary
College. In effect, this makes Centenary
eligible for some type of post-season

it has), and IF the NIT ultimately decides
that a team from the Deep South with a
seven-foot freshman sensation would be a
good draw in Madison Square Garden, then
the Gents MIGHT POSSIBLY have a chance to
make the trip North next month.

If is a mighty big word for two letters.

As a matter of fact, several sinister
"ifs" suggest themselves to anyone contem-
plating Centenary's tournament chances.

If Centenary had defeated Texas, Texas -
Arlington, and Indiana State, its record
wo' .Id be 19-4 with four to play instead of
16-7. And what if the court had issued its
restraining order earlier in the season
(say, immediately after the NCAA announced
the probation) , would the Gents have had
the extra incentive necessary not to have
suffered the letdowns that led to two of
those three losses (the Texas game was
played before the probation was imposed)?

What if the probation mess had never
come up? What kind of record would Cen-
tenary have now- -better or worse?

COLD FACTS

Well, ifs are nice, but some facts
remain .

Centenary must win its last four games.
If there is any one pivotal element in this
whole big deal, that's got to be it. Even
then, there's no guarantee of anything.

But there are other things --intangible
tilings --that may mean the difference in the
end. For example, take the TV date with
Houston on March 2. I don't know who'll be
watching, or who'll be in attendance (in the
way of tournament selection committee people)
but it's essential that Centenary has a vo-
cal, enthusiastic following present. After
all, if a team can't excite the home crowd,
how would it fare trying to entertain an
alien crowd half a count ry away in New York.
Or so anyone who has anything to say about
who get tourney invites would probably think.

And, at another non-related level, Cen-
tenary's first-ever television exposure will
bring Gents' athletics into the homes of
thousands of viewers for the first time--
thousands who will get a first impression of
Centenary College and Shreveport, La.

And if we can just win. . .

Gents, Rainbows Split
Weekend Hawaiian Set

by Tom Marshall

"You can sum it up in two words," said
Centenary Head Coach Larry Little of the
Gents' weekend split with the University of
Hawaii .

"Poor shooting."

The Gents won the opening game played
Friday night in Honolulu, needing an over-
time period to darken the Rainbows, 78-71.
The following night, however, Hawaii came out
and held Centenary to its lowest point total
of the year and beat the Gents, 71-61.

"We shot 43 per cent the first night and
escaped with a win," pointed out Little, add-
ing, "but then we went out and shot 38 per
cent the next night and lost.

"We just could not get good shooting
percentages out of our people," continued
the Gent mentor. He cited Roosevelt Fuller
as an example of the Gents' scoring woes.
"Rosey had a good night the first night and
then came out the second and couldn't hit
anything. I'm not really picking on Roose-
velt—it wasn't just him--but everybody was
shooting poorly."

For the record, Fuller hit on 6-of-12
field goal attempts in the Friday night win
(a highly respectable 50 per cent), while he
only made two the second night with the same
amount of tries. Senior forward Larry Davis
was also symptomatic of the cold-shooting bug
that hit the Gents. Larry, who injured an
ankle in Monday's loss at Arizona State, found
the range on only one -of -six in the opener
and was 6-of-16 in the windup Saturday night.

Friday's win came on the heels of a tem-
porary restraining order issued in United
States District Court in Shreveport that en-
joined the NCAA from enforcing its probation
against Centenary. The order expires this
Sunday, at which time it can be renewed or
the school's attorneys can make a motion for
a ''preliminary injunction." Since tournament
invitations are issued the week of the 26th,
this order in effect made Centenary eligible
for some type of post-season action- -if the
Gents ' record warrants it .

Total Fouls --Centenary' 21, Hawaii 10.
Fouled Out : Centenary- -Hickerson , Johnson.
A--7,49S.

But the Gents had a new goal to shoot
for- -something more than just personal satis-
faction for a successful season. And that
motivation was enough. Trailing 52-46 with
ten minutes to play, Centenary came back and
tied the Rainbows 69-all in regulation. In
the overtime, it was no contest. With John-
son and Parish leading the way, the Gents
outpointed the Rainbows 9-2 in the extra
period and sent the 7,500 Hawaii fans home
wondering what had happened.

But the second night was different. Al-
though Hawaii again scored only 71 points, the
sluggish Gent offense lacked consistency.
And the Gents left the mid-Pacific with a
16-7 record, and four games to play.

Little thought that the pace of the trip
might have had something to do with the loss.
"We were extremely tired Saturday night," he
said. "Hawaii had played only once since the
previous Saturday, while we had played Mon-
day, Wednesday, and an overtime game on Fri-
day. That's four games in six days for us as
compared to only two in seven days for them.
That's got to have some effect."

The Gents arrived back in Shreveport ear-
ly Monday morning, beginning preparation for
a Thursday night road trip to Jonesboro, Ark.,
and Arkansas State University. Saturday
night, the Gents play their last road contest
of the season in New Orleans at LSU-NO's
"Chamber of Horrors." The Privateers' home
floor is so named because of its vocal crowds
and cramped quarters.

Late ETBC Rally
Trips Up Ladies

MARSHALL, Tex. --East Texas Baptist
College rallied in the last three minutes,
outscoring Centenary 6-1 over that stretch,
to pull out a 36-34 victory over the La-
dies here Friday night.

Down 33-30 at the three-minute mark,
ETBC capitalized on Centenary fouls, scor-
ing most of the points in their last-
ditch surge from the foul line.

The Ladies had the ball and a chance
to tie the score in the last 30 seconds,
but a three-second violation turned the
ball over to ETBC and killed Centenary's
hope of defeating the Baptists for the
second time this season.

Centenary, now 1-6 on the year,
trailed 14-13 at the half but led 23-21
after three quarters.

'We weren't mentally up for the
game since we had beaten them so bad the
first time," explained Coach Sharon Set-
tlemire of the Ladies' letdown, adding,
"They (ETBC) really wanted to win, too"

The Centenary mentor also expressed
displeasure at the officiating on ETBC's
home court. "The officiating was very
questionable. Especially the three-
second call," she added.

Joan Medina scored a game -high 14
points for the Ladies and Carolyn Carlton
added ten more before fouling out early
in the fourth quarter.

Sherly Locke was high for ETBC with
1 3 and Kay Seamans added 1 1 .

The Ladies next action will come
March 23-24 when they travel to Baton
Rouge for a two -game set with Louisiana
State University.

Student Directories for the spring semes-
ter have been delayed a week in getting to
the printer due to a tremendous number of
errors in the master copy. How did they get
there? According to the Registrar's Office,
one hundred and fourteen students who had
moved since last semester failed to change
their telephone numbers on the computer cards
given them at registration. These addresses
are not usually proofread, but the mistakes
were caught by chance, and hopefully all
were corrected.

Inflation hasn't hit one office in Hamil-
ton Hall, the Registrar's Office is pleased
to announce. The fee for an official copy
of a transcript was only $1.00 in 1936 and
is the same price now. Anyone who has ever
had Economics knows that the purchasing
power of a dollar has decreased in the last
thirty years, so with each transcript the
student gets a real bargain. Come get yours
today!

Dr. Pomeroy on the Student Life Committee.

In another Student Life Committee change,
Paul Giessen has replaced Mike Marcell as the

Vandalism has struck the Centenary campus.
Posters announcing the Oriental Art Exhibi-
tion, held Tuesday in Jackson Hall, found
themselves raped and pillaged by unknown
enemies who tore off selected sections or
eliminated the signs entirely. With neither

the mark of Zorro) left behind, the motive
for the desecration remains a secret held
only by the mysterious hit-and-run defacers.

Journalism can occasionally be risky
business, CONGLOMERATE News Editor Jeff Daiell
is finding out. His roommate discovered the
pin to a hand grenade on their lawn Monday,
and the two are frantically searching for
the remainder of the device while very slowly
counting to ten. Very slowly.

The Holy Communion will be celebrated at
8:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Ash Wednesday,
March 7, in the Canterbury House. The Very
Reverend Kenneth W. Paul, Chaplain and Dean
of Shreveport, will be the celebrant and
will distribute Ashes at both Services. All
interested persons are invited. The Service
will last 25 minutes at 8:30 and 6 p.m.

Beginning next week, the CONGLOMERATE will
be dated "Thursday." Although the paper has
traditionally been dated "Friday" and held
for distribution on that day, publishing
changes in the past year have pushed campus
distribution up to Thursday afternoons. The
dating change will also be reflected in The

Jackson Hall, room 34 was the scene
of an exhibition and sale of Oriental art
last Tuesday, February 27. The show was
brought to Centenary by Marson Ltd. of
Baltimore and consisted primarily of
woodcut prints. The prints were from many
countries in the orient, Japan, China, India,
Tibet among others .

The prices of the prints varied but
most seemed to be beyond the means of the
average college student. The works covered
several different periods, but the majority
was contemporary.

There were, other than the prints,
carved miniatures of Buddhas and other
oriental motifs , which were perhaps more
interesting than the prints. The show,
however, was enjoyable to browse through, and
helped give insight into Oriental culture
and art.

Six Students 'Tapped'
For Honors Society

Last Thursday during the Chapel program,
Onicron Delta Kappa, national men's honor
society, "tapped" or selected several Cente-
nary students.

The students so chosen were Mark Greve,
Robert Hallquist, John Hardt, Calvin Head'
Mike Marcell, and Dick Welch.

According to Jess Gilbert, who announced
the tapees, those juniors or seniors consi-
dered for ODK membership must excel 1 in five
areas: scholarship, athletics, student gov-
ernment, religious or social work, publica-
tions, and the arts.

Dr. Woodrow Pate performed the tapping
process as other ODK members looked on
approvingly .

Carole Cotten Stresses
Women's Individuality

•You have the right to claim vour life as
your own."

The speaker was the Reverend Carole Cotten.
last Thursday's guest lecturer at Chapel.

Speaking on "The Rights and Future of
Women," the Reverend Cotten brought impres-
sive qualifications to her task/ A 1965
graduate of Centenary, she had at the Perkins
School of Theology been the first woman to
win the Outstanding Senior Award (according
to Robert Ed, usually called the "Jesus award")

She was ordained a Minister of the United
Methodist Church in 1970.

The women's movement, she told the group,
is "calling women to' a new consciousness,"
a consciousness which sees each woman as an
individual, not as a carbon-copy member of
a group. As such a movement, Rev. Cotten
stressed, it must touch all aspects of life,
even the minor and obscure facets, and not
merely the larger, more apparent aspects;
for the movement is a revolution which to
succeed must cause all institutions, including
the Church (both locally and as an institu-
tion) , to reevaluate themselves in the light
of that movement .

Revolution comes, she noted, "when people
are no longer willing to live with evolution."
This has previously been the case with black
Americans, she pointed out; it is now the
case with women.

Those in the audience who might have en-
tered the room considering Women's Lib as
something foreign or subversive must have
noted with surprise her statement that the
movement is merely a restatement of the ideals
of the American Revolution, the ideal that
each person's life belongs to that person,
and no other.

The movement is appropriate, she said,
because the same God created us all.

Thus, the movement is "breaking down
false images" and allowing women to see them-
selves as unique and individual persons .
And even this achievement must be personal,
she said. When it comes to recognition as
a human being, "only you can give yourself
this gift."

by Cece Russel]

The theatre department is initiating
a new program using demonstration labs.
The purpose of a lab is to offer the
student an opportunity to demonstrate
(acting, singing, dancing) something that
he has worked on in the field of theatre.
The lab begins at 2:00 each Friday at the
Playhouse. Everyone is invited to partici-
pate.

If you wish to be scheduled, simply
sign up and be creative. If you would rather
not perform in front of a group of people,
you are invited to view the selections.
It should be a pleasant way to spend a
Friday afternoon.

The box office opens Monday at
1:00 for our next production, The Good
Woman of Setzuan . This is proving to be
a fine production. Performance dates are
March 8,9,10, 15,16,17. Curtain time is
8:00.

We have had good turn-outs for our
Saturday morning tech calls, but we would
like to see more of you. If you cannot
seem to drag yourself out of bed at 9:00,
you'll be just as welcome at 10:00.

Labor on London

Dr. Earle Labor will speak on the
Jack London Revival at a meeting of the
Friends of the Centenary College Library
on Wednesday, March 7th at 8 pm. Students,
staff and faculty are invited to this
informal talk which will reflect Dr. Labor's
January studies at the Huntington Library
in San Marino, California. The meeting
will be held in the Faculty Study of the
Library.

David Napier Set

Centenary Chaplain Robert Ed Taylor has
announced tnis semester's only Wilison Lec-
turer. He is Dr. David Napier, President of
Pacific School of Religion, Berkeley, Cali-
fornia, and will speak on Thursday, March
8th; first during the Chapel services at
10:40 in the Chapel, and later at 5:30p.m.
in the Smith Auditorium.

Born in China, Dr. Napier holds a Ph.D.
from Yale along with three honorary doctor-
ates and is an ordained Congregational minis-
ter.

A holder of many previous professorships
and lecture seats, he is also an archaelogi-
cal aficionado, having participated in such
activities in the Holy Land.

The speaker is an author, as well, having
written seven books , including On New Creation ,
From Faith to Faith , and Time oF ^Burning .
His articleFTiave appeared in several maga-
zines, including The Christian Century .

POINTLESS PUNS

PAYING TRIBUTE

the Editor:

We, the undersigned, declare that
we are offended by the pointless, inane
puns forced on the campus by White Circle
Enterprises, a. k. a. Jeff Daiell. A pester
for a campus event should contain information
not endless word tricks. The same Mr.Daiell
should be removed from publicity immediately.

Yours for a cleaner campus,

DONT FORGET JACK,

To the Editor:

White Circle Enterprises is not just
Jeff Daiell. It is on paper also Jack
McCunn; it is in spirit all those in this
world who love their lives and seek to
enjoy them, the language being a vital
part thereof.

Thank you for helping us correct this.

AND GROW UP!

To the Editor:

To whoever has been desecrating the Art
Show posters :

Vandalism (the destruction or defacement
of nonself -owned property) is grossly juve-
nile and highly immoral. That you, in your
infantility and literary countermagniloquence,
can not countenance the work of someone who
loves the language and enjoys exploring its
nuances and quirks and hidden corners, does
not allow you the right to express your im-
mature pique via physical destruction.

So do us all a favor and grow up. You
might even like it.

To the Editor:

Open Ear was at work, and not a worker was
lazy,

Hoping that someone would call who was crazy.
They stayed by their phones and listened with
care,

Wishing a suicide soon would call there.
Hopefully before, but if not, well, then,
later

(Revival the boast of each operator) .
The knuckles were chewed down quite to the
bone,

While waiting for wierdos to make use of

their phones.
When out of the back room there arose a great

roar,

And the bookkeeper, shrieking, burst through

the back door.
The operators cheered, their mouths dripped

with foam —
A bona fide crazy, and right here at home!
He ran to the window, made a noose of the

sash.

•We're broke, and we're bankrupt, and we're

all out of cash!"
They counseled him out of it, before he was

dead,

Though ambulance -vis ions danced in their
heads.

Then, in the midst of the roam, came a great

puff of smoke,
Like someone had lit up the world's biggest

toke.

And what to their wondering eyes should
appear

But the Centenary Senate — and sporting a
tear!

"Now listen," it said, "For this is no jive.
Of the increase in fees, you'll get one out
of five.

The students all voted, one -eleven/ one -ten,
And now we've decided to cut Open Ear in."
So he reached for the sack that hung 'round
his belly

And stank like the mint, all crispy and
smelly.

They cheered at this news, and took him to
heart :

He wasn't quite crazy, but he had made a
start!

He tossed them the money, and left in a haze.
They started to analyze this stranger's queer
ways.

They pondered all night, while their hearts

burst with love:
"I wonder why He didn't come as a dove."
But at last midnight struck, it was all for

the night;

They hoped all the sickies would postpone

their plight
At least until eight the very next eve:
"At least they should schedule the times that

they grieve!"
But most worry was gone; they had money, lots

of it.

And if students complained, well, they could

just shove it!
For dear Open Ear is this school's sacred

cow,

With the activities fee replacing a bow.
Perhaps this large sum, which now funds O.E.,
Should instead be -returned to you and to me.
As of now, it's a condition, for attending

this school,
That we pay a tribute to that telephone pool.
Did I hear them proclaim, as they drove to

their houses ,
"Why not give all five, those selfish old

louses?"

OH, THOSE TRASH CANS!

To Jack in the Bush;

I write on the USL paper, the Vermilion,
and I saw the Centenary Conglomerates for
Friday, Feb. 16 because of people like your
editor who send their papers to other cam-
puses.

So Mike Gilbert is gone, huh? Too bad,
he was a good friends of mine. I went to
Centenary 69-70 and roomed with Mike, the
first part. I also was fairly good friends
with Gilbert. Your naming of the places
that should be seen at Centenary left me
with a hollow feeling, for most of the pla-
ces that were dear to my heart in my year's
stay at Centenary College of Louisiana (1825) ,
that hotbed of tranquility, were totally
left out. Nor were they included.

Though Mickle Hall was mentioned, you
left out the underground walkway that con-
nects it with the basement of the library.
This in itself is not much, but, oh, those
trash cans in the tunnel! Some of my great-
est moments at Centenary were spent searching
through those trash cans.

And what about the "swimming pool" in the
back of the Smith Building? Surely, that
can't be gone.

Your mention of Haynes Gym, too, was lack-
ing. I cannot think of that great athletic
edifice without once again picturing those
giants of the intramural hoop loop, the Hot
Wheels, as they made their immortal crushing
sweep of a perfect season the only year that
they played.

And to mention Crumley Gardens without a
mention of Crumley's fount. A misdeed that
is hard for me to surmount. For which you
must account. Another error I count.

And speaking of Mickle Hall, you forgot
to mention the Acquire Loft. That was a
fun place, too, with another great trash can.
As for Hurley Music Building, it should have
been mentioned that the auditorium is always
available to anyone who wishes to perform,
though in my year there I could never seem
to command any audience until I affiliated
with a world famous singing group. Here and
now is not the place, however, to discuss
the Harmoneers.

Just to see the campus is to bring back
the memory of Mary Ann Caffery (who then had
another name) singing with J--- Gilbert in
the Amphitheatre as we all drank cokes that
had been served us in the submarine by David
Dent. Mary Ann was the campus beauty who
had the ultimate honor of being Hot Wheels
homecoming queen. She now leads a quiet and
happy life, I am told. So much for my places
and memories. Keep sending us the Centenary
Conglomerates .

Our basketball team can beat your basket-
ball team.

Money, Memos, and a Moustache

by Jeff Daiell

Sometimes life has its ups and downs.
For Russ Marley, Centenary's new Assistant
Director of Admissions for Financial Aid, one
of life's downs was being given a look by a
woman which said, "Who do vou think vou are,
Slob?"

One of life's ups was marrying that
woman.

And another, he says happily, is working
at Centenary College of Louisiana. He is
extremely enthusiastic about his work,
describing the college, the students, the
faculty, and administration as all "fantastic".

Mr .Nlarley comes to Centenary from two
years with the Bureau of Narcotics and
Dangerous Drugs and several years as a college
administrator, in particular two years at
American University in Washington, D.C. in
the housing department and from work on the
Financial Aid Committee at the same school,
all after a brief internship in financial aid.

He holds a B.A. in Government and Public
Administration, which should bring joy to
all Political Science majors, and an M.Ed..

Although he is no revolutionary, especiall
having been here just some two months, he
does have some definite plans for his position.
One, he would like to "open up channels of
communication to the faculty", which he
considers a most vital step. From what he
has seen of the Centenary faculty, he has
gained an admiration for them, especially
because of their concern for the student,
a quality he has so far found in happy
abundance.

Although he would like to involve students
in hir work, he recognizes that such action
will hive to be approved by the faculty and
administration.

He hopes to orient Financial Aid toward
recruiting, to use it "as a tool" although
definitely " not as a club". While he
stressed Centenary's inability to compete
with state schools in terms of financial
aid, he feels that the school can never-
theless use his office in attracting deserving
and needing students.

And there is good news for jmior college
graduates. He would definitely like to
boost transfers "from such schools, although,
of course, the emphasis must remain on
freshmen. Like Warren Levingston, the
Director of Admissions, Russ Marley would
like to improve this school's retention
rate.

Concerning technical aspects of his job,
Marley wants to arrange the administration
of his office so that, were he to match
strength with a Mack" truck and emerge the
loser, his successor would be able to grasp
the workings of the office within a day's
time .

Sporting a moustache, but without the
beard he wore when he and his wife first
crossed paths , Marley explained some of the
basics of financial aid. The money, he said,
comes from several sources. Much comes
from small grants, rarely more than a few

thousand dollars and often donated in memory
of a deceased relative. Much of this is
invested- -a standard collegiate practice- -
and the College devotes the interest to
purposes of financial assistance. Some
money is from institutional funds , an
example being the Board on Higher Education
of the United Methodist Church, and still
other funds come from the Federal Govern-
ment (although this will endure some cuts
in fiscal 1974).

There are two types of aid, Marley
pointed out. One is for merit, the other
for need. Merit aid is based on considera-
tions such as GPA, tests, and perhaps skill
(e.g., if a prospective freshman is the
world's greatest cellist, to use Marley 's
illustration); need assistance is based
on a 'need analysis' which involves a
Parents' Confidential Statement, and if
applicable, government rules. Value
judgement is involved, he said, with merit
aid being the easier to weigh objectively.

He did mention one specific type of
case where value judgement is required.
Unlike some other financial aid officers,
Russ Marley will not recommend that an
extremely needy student be granted large
loans which would leave that student, upon
graduation, with a debt of several thousand
dollars .

Marley 's job is especially important
on the Centenary campus, where, he estimates,
some 40 to 451 of the student body is
receiving some degree of financial aid of
whatever variety. Fortunately, he seems
to be elated over his staff and associates,
lavishing elaborate praise an the secretaries ,
the student workers, Warren Levingston, and
expecially Sharon Matlock, whom he describes
as "fantastic. . .just marvelous".

He wants any students --even nosy
reporters --with questions to drop by and see
him just about any afternoon. He wants the
students --whom he admires --to know about his
office, now located behind the big glass doors
which until recently marked the office of
admissions recruiters, who have moved into the
former financial aid offices. He stressed
that, after all, the students are what it's
all about. They're the reason he's here, he
made plain, and he isn't going to forget it.

Colorado interim: rocky mountains, hi!

"Now, which way did they say that chair
lift was?" — or so Cindy Yeast might be
saying. Actually , the Centenary sophomore
is taking time out for a breath of cold
Rocky mountain air during a hike with the
Colorado Interim group.

by Mary Oakland

Maybe the students on the Outdoor Educa-
tion interim in Colorado didn't see it rain-
ing fire in the sky, but they were able to
feel their own Rocky Mountain high.

Some found it by living in a coed dorm
situation in which they were forced to under-
stand each other on a basis other than being
dating partners .

Some found it by learning about simple
things like animal tracks or how to express
themselves in writing and then share with
others .

Some found it by forcing themselves to
make it to the tOD of the mountain just to
see what was up there.

Orieinally, it wasn't supposed to be
that kind of interim. When students signed
up for the course, they expected to work
with sixth graders staying at the Singin*
River Ranch in Evergreen, Colorado. The
sixth graders cancelled at the last minute,
so Centenary College people (including
teachers and students) almost literally
became the sixth graders by singing after
meals, tubing down hills, and quaking in
their long underwear in fear on night
hikes .

This immature behavior was actually
welcomed because the purpose of the interim
was to evaluate the program as it was set
up for the sixth graders.

As it turned out, the program was ap-
proved as successful. Everybody learned
more about people, nature, English, skating,
water, and geology in Colorado in two
weeks than they could have learned in Shreve-
port in four.

Maybe John Denver really knows what he's
talking about

Mary Annan Mayer trudges through the snow,
camera in hand, looking for a suitable
subject to photograph. Mary Annan is a
junior from Shreveport and was one of
more than 25 Centenary students who spent
two weeks in the Colorado mountains at
Singin' River Ranch during interim.

Graham Caine, an architectural student in
London, has designed what he calls "Britain's
first house for natural man." The blueprint
will be his final examination project, but
Caine will go beyond the planning. He is
actually building the experimental house, and
will live in it for two years, testing and
perfecting its self-sustaining units.

The design incorporates a greenhouse as
well as living quarters, and systems for re-
cycling wastes, collecting rain and solar
energy, and growing food. The sewage diges-
tion plant will produce methane gas for cook-
ing, and liquid nutrients for the greenhouse,
thus utilizing the organic wastes.

The eco-house is described in Rodale's
Environment Action Bulletin (12/9/72) , and
the writer explains, "Caine is in the fore-
front of the alternative technology movement,
which aims not only to reduce pollution and
resource consumption, but also replace today's
superreliance on giant, impersonal, central-
ized technocracies with human-scale techniques
that people can run themselves and become in-
volved in. The eco-house is meant to be
living proof that a 'people's technology' can
work."

The materials for the 37x40 foot house,
which is being constructed of timber and
plastics, will cost about fifteen hundred to
seventeen hundred dollars. Special features

1973

Page Seven ;

will include:

• Sunlight algae tanks will kill off any
disease organisms in the sewage.

•Solar heat will be trapped by radiators
which will heat the house and a thirty gallon
hot -water tank.

• Water supply, depending upon the amount
of rainfall, should average twenty gallons
a day.

• Vegetables and fruits will be grown by
hydroponics -soilless agriculture .

•Warm air, collecting in the central dome,
will create a hot -house effect for growing
bananas and other tropical fruits.

Caine plans to install a wind -generator
and power storage system. Meanwhile he'll
have to rely on supplementary power and water
from the outside, and standby gas cylinders
for the stove. The eventual goal, of course,
is independence, and freedom from outside
sources .

Though he'll be buying dairy products and
bread to supplement his vegetarian diet, he
plans to brew his own beer. Actually, it
would be just as easy for him to grind his
own grains and bake bread.

Whatever he learns from his experiment
should be of practical value to Americans.
United States and Canada water companies and
power monopolies have not yet touched all the
farm and forest lands. With self-contained
housing, perhaps they never will.

For example, Bob and Eileen Reines ' dome
in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is claimed to be
the world's first home totally heated by the
sun and electrified by the wind. The dome,
of metal panels sprayed with three -inch -thick
walls of plastic foam, was described in a re-
cent issue of the Los Angeles Times . The
foam insulates and the home is designed to
conserve heat, electricity, and water. A
comfortable temperature of 85° or lower can
be maintained when outdoor temps soar over
100° or drop to 30° below.

The energy systems include three wind-
generators which charge sixteen storage bat-
teries , and a solar system of black copper
tubes for heating three thousand gallons of
water in a hillside storage tank. Hot running
water is supplied by a smaller tank. A bu-
tane burner, the only item requiring fuel,
will eventually be replaced by a microwave
oven. Skylights and port -holes bring in
plenty of natural light, so only a few light-
bulbs are needed for reading.

The home, constructed at a cost of
$12 , 000 , and built in less than a year, is
called Prototype I. Reines is overcoming
bugs in the original, but he says the new
design he is working on-Prototype II- will
make the old one obsolete.

INNATE LEARNING AND ARCHETYPES

There is a revolution against behaviorism
going on in psychology today. The revolu-
tionaries hardly have a name yet, but
Gunther Stent, writing in Scientific America n
calls them "structuralists 77 ^ structuralism —
admits, as behaviorism does not, the existence
of innate ideas, or of knowledge without
learning.

The idea that there are innate structures
in the mind is very old, but the first
scientists to discover what they considered
innate mental structures were Sigmund Freud
and Carl Jung. Freud was struck by the fact
that dreams, for all their wooliness, had a
logical structure, which he attempted to
outline.

Jung noticed that mental patients tended
to draw or dream about exceedingly similar
mandala patterns that became more and more
integrated as the patient recovered. He
proposed that patterns constitute archetypes
in the mind. However, these ideas were too
radical for most scientists to accept, and
psychoanalysis has remained on the fringes of
science. But the concept of innate mental
structure was raised again by the gestalt
school of psychology.

Gestaltists tried to explain how it is
we see a row of dots as a straight line, and
how several parallel rows of equally spaced
dots will seem to group into shifting, but
specific, patterns. They proposed that there
are organizing principles of perception, or
gestalts, inherited and not derived from
experience (unless evolution can be regarded
as experience) . The gestaltists even pro-
posed that "seen shapes are represented by
similarly shaped electrical brain fields that
have innate tendencies to form simpler, more
closed shapes.' 1 This wild notion may turn
out to be partly true, as we shall see
presently.

Meanwhile, completely oblivious to
these developments, the French anthro-
pologist Claude Levi-Strauss , working in
in the 1940 's, noticed that widely
differing kinship customs could be
accounted for by a simple underlying
structure. And then he found out that
linguists had also discovered a deep
structure that was universal for all
adequately studied human languages.

This deep structure consists of a

mental program which generates the seemingly
disparate surface characteristics of
language. Noam Chomsky of M.I.T., the
foremost structuralist linguist, says,
"These linguistic universale can be
plausibly assumed to be an innate mental
endowment rather than the result of
learning." As further evidence for this
view, Chomsky cites the amazingly rapid
acquisition of language by a young child
It is as if the child already has the
underlying structure and, in acquiring
a particular language, is learning which
transformation structures to call into
play in order to generate the surface
language.

Structuralism, whose wide net has at
last come to include physiology, proposes
that innate physiological structures
account for perceptual abilities, Mainly
through the work of Steven Kuffler, David
Hubel and Thorsten Wiesel at Harvard
Medical School, it has been discovered
that vision occurs as light strikes the
receptor neurons of the eye's retina.
But these receptor cells are arranged in
circular arrays in such a way that they
report not on the absolute level of
illumination collected by the receptor
cells but a summary of the contrast
between two concentric regions of the
receptor field.

Each circular array sends its
information to one ganglion cell, and
several ganglion cells connect to a
single visual cortex cell in such a way that
there are single cortex cells that respond
only to a straight vertical line presented
to the field vision. Other cells respond
only to a horizontal line; yet others to
lines at various angles .

These single cells can be pictured as
combining with other similar cells and sending
the combined information on to a cell
which responds only to a more complex line
pattern. It is as if there are "archetypes"
for these line patterns in the brain. How
complex can these archetypes become? Gunther
Stent says:

In their later work Hubel and Wiesel were
able to identify cells in the visual
cortex whose optimal stimuli reflect
even higher levels of abstraction than
parallel straight lines, such as
straight-line ends and corners. It
is not so clear at present how far
this process of abstraction by
convergence of communication channels
ought to be imagined as going. In
particular, should one think that
there exists, for every pattern of
whose specific recognition an animal
is capable, at least one particular
cell in the cerebral cortex that
responds with impulse activity when
that pattern appears in the visual
field? In view of the vast number of
such patterns we recognize in a life-
time, that might seem somewhat improbable.
So far, however, no other plausible

explanation of perception capable of
advancing neurophysiological research
appears to have been put forward.
If the structures for the acquisition of
knowledge are truly innate, is it any wonder
that Buddhists staring at mandalas and
physiologists probing the brains of cats
should find their search leading to the
same underlying structures?

THE HEARTBREAK KID

reviewed by Mary Ann Caffery

A few weekends ago my husband and I
were looking through the newspaper movie
section to see what shows we would go to
see, and we noticed a "sneak preview"
that was to be shown at the Capri Theater.
I, of course, had no idea what movie would
be shown as the sneak preview, but my
husband quickly surmised that it was
The Heartbreak Kid , a movie which has been
nominated for Academy Awards for Best
Supporting Actor and Actress. Thus, I
knew The Heartbreak Kid would be the movie
that we saw so we could watch the Academy
Awards and know why we did or didn't like
the choices of award winners.

T he Heartbreak Kid is a movie written
by Neil Simon, directed by Elaine May, and
starring Charles Grodin, Cybill Shepherd,
Jeannie Berlin, Audra Lihdley, and Eddie
Albert. It is about this young Jewish boy
and girl who meet, get married, and go on
a honeymoon to Miami. While in Miami, the
groom meets a blonde bombshell and instantly
falls madly in love with her... but he still
has this new wife... but he just can't
believe that he has met this great new girl.
Oh well, although this sounds like a weird
arid unbelievable plot, I pretty much
enjoyed the movie because it was funny, as
well as sad and heartbreaking. At times I
didn't know whether to feel sorry for the
poor Jewish boy who was "5 tuck" with this new
wife whom he decided was a slob, or the
Jewish girl , who had her heart broken when
this kid said "bye", packed up and left.
Really, the girl and the boy were both duds,
but as the movie progressed I began to
accept their "faults" which were so obvious
at the first of the movie. Because I too am
sort of newly wed, I got a kick out of some
of the insights into newlywedism which were
presented in the movie. I don't know beans
about how or for what reason the Academy
chooses best actors, actresses, movies, etc.,
but I did enjoy the performances of the two
nominated for awards. Of course, I also
liked Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
so what does it mean? ~~~

THE TRAIN ROBBERS

reviewed by Taylor Caffery

The Trarig Robbers , now showing at
Quail Creek Cinema II, is a shaggy dog story-
a gross sort of joke which aims its humor
at the unsuspecting victim/ viewer.

The tedious plot (which is used to
support the surprise last minute trick)
involves Ann -Margaret as a train robber's
widow who hires John Wayne to retrieve her
late husband's hidden loot, fight off the
necessary human vultures, and return the
loot to The Railroad Company to salvage both
the reward and, somehow, her husband's name

Just one problem. The entire story
is a fraud. The final punchline turns one of
the major good guys (can you guess which one?)
into a bad guy and ... that V~that . Closinc
credits. Ho ho.

There is a classic film tradition, not
limited to mysteries, giving the film-
maker great freedom to toy with the viewer's
knowledge, revealing important circum-
stances at whim. The Train Robbers works
within this tradition, but sloppily.

Of course, I actually liked Willie
Wonka and the Chocolate Factory , so what
docs it mean?

nough to get tickets for tonight's
Centenary -Houston game can follow
the Gents' progress through vari-
ous forms of the local media. KWKH
radio (1130 AM) will broadcast the
game, beginning with a pre -game in-
terview at 7:45. James Lynn will
handle the play-by-play for KWKH,
with Chuck Fellers supplying the
color commentary . The game will
also be televised, beginning at
8:00 o'clock on KTAL-TV (Channel
6) . The telecast is under the
auspices of the Texas Sports Net-
work. Paul Orseck will be the
play-by-play announcer and his

leading most of the way. Houston scored 12 unanswered point- in that stretch, and that meant the eame.

Little hopes that won't happen this time,
and so do several thousand Centenary fans.

Robert Parish will lead the Gents' effort
in that direction. Parish, the seven-foot
freshman from Woodlawn, led Centenary's near-
upset in Houston with 20 points and a game-
high 22 rebounds. Parish's season averages
now stand at 23.2 points and 18.8 rebounds
per game. Other probable starters for the.
Gents are Larry Davis (15.1 ppg) and Leon
Johnson (14.1 ppg) at forwards, and Melvin
Russell (9.1 ppg along with a school record
174 assists) at guard. The fifth starter is
likely to be Dave Deets at a guard position,
although both Deets and senior John Hickerson
have been starters in recent games. Hicker-
son is averaging 9.4 points per game, and
Deets 4.4.

Little expressed thanks for the support
that has been given the Gents this year.
•We've been tremendously pleased with the
performance of our fans, student body and
faculty," said Little. 'The players have
also commented about the support and, along
with the coaching staff, would like to thank
them. This is not just a formality, either.
I don't believe I've ever made that statement
before- -or at least not as much. Their in-
fluence and presence has definitely been an
advantage to us this year."

The coach added one more thing. He said
he'd like to see every wall covered with
banners in the Gold Dome tonight.
That's up to the students.
Leave the basketball to the Gents.

Gents Win Two More,
Aim Big Guns at Cougs

Centenary rolled past Louisiana State
University-New Orleans and Northwestern
State University for victories No. 18 and 19
last week, setting up tonight's showdown
rematch with the University of Houston in
the final scheduled contest of the 1972-73
season.

Last Saturday night the Gents, along
with a contingent of about 75 students and
supporters, journeyed to the Crescent City
and handed LSUNO a rare home loss by routing
the Privateers 111-91. Then Monday night
the Gents survived several shaky spurts
before running away from NSU, 87-75.

"This was as good an effort in all
phases of the game tonight as we've had in a
long, long time," was how Head Coach
Larry Little described the Saturday night
victory.

The Gents produced their highest point
total of the season by four players in
double figures --three of them over 20
points. In fact, senior Larry Davis,
sophomore Leon Johnson, and freshman
Robert Parish led the Centenary effort with
22 points each. Melvin Russell had 13
points and handed out an unreal 17 assists - -
setting another new school record.

Every Gent who made the trip to
New Orleans scored.

"This ought to give us a tremendous
amount of incentive for our last games
concluded Little. "After all, when you
come in here (New Orleans) where they
haven't lost but three games ever, and
blow 'em out like we did, it has to be
encouraging."

Little was right, because two nights

later the Gents went out and gave a large
home crowd (3,175) a good win over the Demons.

After leading by 14 at one point
f 31 - 1 7) the Gents went cold and found
themselves tied at 38-all and 40-all before
Roosevelt Fuller made two foul shots to
give Centenary a 42-40 half time edge.

After intermission, though, it was no
contest, Centenary scoring the first 16
points of the second half to ice the cake
early. Conversely, Northwestern was able to
manage only six points over the first 12
minutes of the second stanza against the
Gents' zone defense.

Davis led the Centenary victory with
20 points, Parish added 19 points and 14
rebounds and John Hickerson pitched in 15
points .

Gent lets' Streak Now 12

The Centenary Jayvees raced past North-
western Monday night, 86-77, for their
twelfth straight victory to raise their
record to 16-7, going into their season
finale Friday night against the Houston
Kittens in a 6:00 p.m. game in the Gold
Dome.

The Gentlets were led Monday by a ba-
lanced scoring attack with five players
hitting double -digit point totals. Soph-
omore Rick Jacobs paced the Gentlets with
22 points and 11 rebounds. Nate Bland
chipped in i8 points, Dale Kinkelaar and
Barry McLeod added 14 points apiece, and
big Cal Smith scored 10, but pulled down
a game-high 16 rebounds. Northwes tern's
Gerry Jenkins took game honors with 28
points.

Netters Split Matches

The Centenary tennis team won once and
lost once in its opening week of play, blitz-
ing LeTourneau 6-0 at Longview, Tex., last
Friday before bowing to a strong McNeese
State team 6-1 at Lake Charles Tuesday after-
noon.

The Gents, now 1-1 on the season, play
their first home match of the year this Sa-
turday against the University of Southwestern
Louisiana. The matches will be played on the
Hardin Courts beginning at 9:00 a.m.

Dateline: CENTENARY-

Experts '

Out look

by Tom Marshall

Centenary vs. Houston.

Everyone's talking about it this week,
and there are just about as many opinions
as to who will win and why as there are
people to express those opinions. In an
effort to shed some light on the subject
(if indeed that is possible), I polled a
panel of local sports media Wednesday.
Following is the result of that poll.

JERRY BYRD

Sports Editor, Shreveport Journal

If Centenary plays as well as they are
capable of playing, they will win. How-
ever, I do not think they will because
they are not used to having a ball game
this important and Houston is. Houston
will come closer to being ready for this
type of ball game and Centenary won't be-
cause they haven't had this important a
game in 16 years --or maybe ever.
' Houston by 8.

BENNY FONTAINE

Sports Director, KTBS Television

If Centenary plays as well as they did
in New Orleans and if the officials allow
Robert Parish to play basketball, then I
think Centenary will win. I feel that
Houston will have an NCAA tournament bid
and will not be up for the game as much
as Centenary. Therefore, my prediction
is :

Centenory in o close one.
BOB GRIFFIN

Sports Director, KSLA Television

If Robert has a good steady night -.-both
rebounding and scoring- -and if Leon Johnson
and Larry Davis can hit from the outside
like they did in the first half against
Houston the first time and one other player
like Hickerson, Fuller, Russell, or Deets
has an outstanding scoring night, then we
can win. I'm considering we're going to
play good defensively and Houston isn't
overly hot.

Centenory by 3 or 4.

JAMES LYNN

Sportscaster, KWKH Radio

If the Gents play the way they played
against LSUNO and the way they played the
second half against Northwestern, they
can beat Houston. If the Gents plav their
best they could win by five. Thev knew
they had to win their last four in order
to get 20 and they've done it when they
had to. They know what they have to do
against Houston. I don't think either
team will score 90 points.

Centenory by 5.

BILL MCINTYRE

Sports Editor, The Shrevport Times

I pick Houston because ot their tre-
mendous height and I doubt that the Gentle-
men would be capable of another great ball
game like they played in Hofheinz Pavillion.
It strictly depends on whether Centenary
can have a fabulous shooting night, par-
ticularly from Larry Davis and Leon John-
son since the Cougars will give them the
outside shots. At least the Gents will
have a fighting chance without Percy Penn.
Houston by 10.

LARRY RYAN

Public Address Announcer, Gold Dome

If Centenary can get themselves up high
enough they can win by eight. If they're
not playing their run and shoot game they
could be in trouble. They 've got to give
Robert some help on the boards. Houston is
an above average team, but Centenary at its
best is well above average. Basically, it's
a psychological thing, since Houston beat
them before. It's going to be up to the
seniors .

Baseball Set to Open
With Home Twin Bill

by Tom Marshall

The Centenary baseball team, practicing in the cold and the shadow of the basketball team
all semester, take the sports spotlight Tuesday afternoon when they open the 1973 campaign
by hosting LeTourneau.

The Gents -Yellow jackets doubleheader will be played on the Centenary home diamond behind
the Gold Dome beginning at 1:30 p.m.

and also doubles at third base; Jerry Pey-
ton, Perry's younger brother, a freshman
out of Shreveport 's Byrd High and a stand-
out pitcher for Moss Realty in American
Legion baseball last summer; freshman Jim
Bonds, the only southpaw (out of Jackson-
ville, 111.); and Don Belanger, a sophomore
righthander from New Iberia, La.

Catchers are junior Don Birkelbach and
sophomore Randy West, both from Shreveport.

Sigler talked about what he feels are the
crucial areas in the Gents' development.
Pointing out that there is only one left-
handed pitcher, the mentor conmented, "It
would be nice to have some more lefties if
we had more pitchers, but in comparison to
last year, we've got five good pitchers --
with more experience. Last year if a man
started a game he more than likely had to
finish it. This year there'll be more re-
lieving, and I look to that as a definite
advantage. In fact, I feel that that is one
of our strong points.

'Hitting, though, is going to be one of
our biggest problems. There's a lot of room
for improvement. For instance, we just don't
have a real good long ball hitter."

Parks and Paulson were the top hitters
last year, but neither hit for better than
.290 or so, which is respectable at best.
West displayed more power, with three ho-
mers en route to a .530 slugging average.

But, even with the problems that lie
ahead, Sigler remains optimistic. And
there's good reason for it. "These players
have as fine an attitude towards the game as
any athletes I've ever worked with," said
Sigler.

A lot of hard work, some experience, and
a lot of guts-- that what Centenary's base-
ball hopes are built on this year.

Centenary Head Coach Orvis Sigler said
Tuesday that he is very optimistic about the
upcoming baseball season and outlined some
of the prospects that fact the stickmen.

"When you're taking on teams like Nebras-
ka, Oklahoma State, Tulane and others," com-
mented Sigler, "it's always going to be
tough. A lot will depend on injuries; of
course, I hope we don't have many."

Sigler 's squad, numbering 12 now, will
"swell" to 15 with the addition of three
basketball players.

In the outfield will be three returning
lettermen: sophomore Frank Parks (Dallas,
Tex.), sophomore Mike Paulson (Dallas, Tex.)
and senior Emmett Treadaway (Shrevport) .

Around the infield will be sophomore
Dave Olson (Wheaton, 111.), sophomore Stan
Welker (Oklahoma City, Okla.), freshman Paul
Young (Hope, Ark.) and junior Dave Deets
(Collinsville, 111.). All except Young are
returning lettermen.

The mound corps will consist of senior
Tracy Knauss, a righthander from Terrell,
Tex., who went 2-9 last season; Perry Pey- .
ton, junior righthander and a hometown pro-
duct with a 3-8 worksheet last year; Dan
Sparrow, another righty (from Winchester,
111.) who worked to a 3-7 record last year

NICO VAN THYN

Times

Sports Writer, The Shreveport

Centenary played probably its finest game
of the year at Houston and didn't win. They
would have to equal that performance here
plus get a few breaks that they didn't get
at Houston. I don't believe it'll happen.
Houston's size is too much. I hope I'm wrong,
I hope I'm VERY wrong, but I pick:

Houston by K>.

RICK WOODSON

Sports Writer, Shreveport Journal

I think Centenary will be as high as they
can possibly get. To beat Houston they will
have to shoot well like they did down there.
If they shoot a good percentage and Parish
gets help on the boards they will win. }
don't think Houston being more relaxed will
help them. I can't conceive of Centenary
not being read)'.

NORTH TO ALASKA

A Boomtown Holiday

by Cherry Payne m

ANCHORAGE - - Although Anchorage is by far
Alaska's largest city (130,0',0) with almost
one-half the population of the state residing
here, it may be regarded as a relatively quiet
town comparable to any other of its size in
the 'lower 48." But Anchorage is different.
It is different because it is a new town in
Alaska, a new state. And with its newness
is the continual reminder that it was/is a
booming town and that heritage has not been
forgotten.

For one week each year Anchorage wakes
up to its past which has been shrouded by
semi -skyscrapers , paved streets, automobiles
and an international airport. During this
ureek visitors from all over Alaska, the
United States and even the world swoop down
upon this city, for this is the week of the
Anchorage Fur Rendevous , otherwise known as
the "Fur Rondy." During this time a "Chee-
chako" (newcomer, as myself) finds him/her-
self surrounded by such oddities as beard-
grcwing contest, a 'Trappers' Ball," Eskimo
Dancing, Curling Bonspiels , beer drinking
contests, and of course the World Champion-
ship Sled Dog Races ( not "dogs led" races]
beginning on 4th Avenue (Anchorage's version
of Texas Avenue) .

The roots of the annual Fur Rondy reflect
the beginnings both of .Anchorage and the
state. The name "Fur Rendevous" cones from
the idea of a fur auction that was held each
spring by the French -Canadian and Indian
trappers of northern Canada. Isolated by tne
wilderness areas and extreme temperatures,
they would go to a chosen city once a year to
auction off their wares to buyers from the
States and even Europe. This annual trip to
town served as a time for relief from the
monotony and the lonliness of the northlands ,
a time to buy supplies for the coning year,
and a time in which the trappers could main-

by Cherry Payne

tain some sort of contact with "civilization."
The celebration was chosen to be held at such
a time (toward the end of the long winter)
because the trappers had gotten the best
pelts by that time, and if it were held much
later in the year they would be caught by
"break-up," when most of the outlying areas
are virtually impassable due to spring thaws.

As a result of all of these factors, it
took on the aura of a winter carnival. The
city of Anchorage has expounded upon this
tradition and turned the Fur Rondy into a sort
of "Mardi Gras of the North" (on a much lesser
scale, of course) .

Beginning February 9, almost anything could
be seen in Anchorage. The Junior Sled Dog
Racing Championships began that day, as did
a chess tournament, hockey tournament, table
tennis championships, a photographic exhibit,
and various other displays done oy organiza-
tions throughout the state.

The highlight of Saturday was the North
.American Ice Racing Championship. Ice Racing,
for those of you who are not familiar with it,
is simply stock car racing on the ice. Insane,
you say? That is precisely what I said, then
consequently went out to witness this synthe-
sis of driving skill, courage, foolishness,
and the ever-present quest for a buck. How-
ever, after approximately forty-five minutes
of watching this spectacle in sub-zero tem-
peratures, I was convinced that I was the
insane one to stand there suffering from
frostbite of the extremities while those
guys were sliding around on the ice like the
Keystone Cops in their WARM cars.

Sunday saw the annual cross-country ski
trek, beginning at 8:00 a.m. and covering
a distance of some 30 kilometers, an event
in which close to a hundred decided to par-
take (Alaskans are a hardy breed) .

The remainder of the week was relatively

quiet (although a particularly good show of
the aurora boreal is was put on). However,
by the weekend things had picked up once
again. Saturday morning we were blessed with
beautiful weather and the annual parade took
place as scheduled (last year much of it was
canceled due to -^50 degree temperatures) .
Floats from all over the state participated.
Saturday also saw a fur auction on a street
corner in town; and the second heat of the
World Championship Sled Dog Races with a 25
mile heat held each day (this year the con-
test was won by Carl Huntington of Fairbanks
with Doc Lombard of Massachusetts, a four-
time world champion placing a close second) .
Saturday also saw the annual World Champion-
ship Dog Weight Pulling Contest (for those of
you who are not familiar with this sport, con-
tact Jack London and/or Dr. Earle Labor),
with the winning dog setting a new world's
record by pulling 3,025 pounds the required
25 feet in about 16 seconds. And, in keeping
with the traditions of the sourdough, there
was the world championship beer drinking
contest.

And, of course, adding to the flavor of
the Fur Rondy were the ever-present fur parkas
of seal skin, reindeer, wolf, and wolverine,
mukluks, an occasional stray moose of two and
hearing some of the spoken Eskimo and Indian
dialects of Alaska.

Even in a city such as Anchorage, which
for all events and purposes could be Shreve-
port (except for the sncw, mountains and
strange patterns of daylight), one can wit-
ness the pioneer spirit and individualism
most of us read about in our history books.
But then, in many respects, Alaska is still
a pioneer state, proudly regarded as the
United States' last frontier.

THE CONGLOMERATE

March 8, 1973

Want to use Haynes Gym on the week-
ends? A key is in Steve Holt's SUB off-
ice from 1 pm to 10 pm every Saturday and
Sunday. Students may check it out with
their i.d. cards.

Patches, a folk-rock group featuring
three guitars, will appear in the SUB
Friday night and Sunday night at 8 pm.

April 10-15 have been chosen as the dates
for the 1973 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage
Festival, produced by George Wein of Newport
Jazz Festival fame. Will there be any big
name performers? Oh, just: Benny Goodman,
B.B.King, The Preservation Hall Jazz Band,
Dave Brubeck, the Staple Singers, Stevie
Wonder, Pete Fountain, Herbie Mann, Roland
Kirk, Howlin' Wolf, War, Jimmy Witherspoon,
Taj Mahal, John Lee Hooker, Gerry Mulligan,
the Ramsey Lewis Trio, Ernie K-Doe,
Professor Longhair, Doug Kershaw, and many
others .

It's probably a misprint, but one should
note nevertheless that the latest issue of the
National Organization for Women Newsletter
urges its readers to "take time to study and
act upon NOW foals." (The same newsletter
plugs Centenary as one of a list of local
mind -expanders for housewives , mentioning
"such goodies as the Forums series .. .theatri-
cal performances, and summer band concerts".)

A handful of hardy Gents attempted Friday
to rouse some campuswide enthusiasm prior to
the clash with Houston that night, but their
efforts were dampened by lack of a sizable
turnout .

A pep rally, announced Thursday, began in
the shell (ampitheater) at three Friday af-
ternoon. The full contingent of spirit girls
were there, but the student body apparently
felt there were other and better things to do.
Considerably less than a hundred appeared,
and the basketball team- -its arrival tardy
due to a misunderstanding- -stood in danger of
outnumbering the fans.

But numbers or no, the fans present left
no doubt as to either their loyalty or en-
thusiasm. While it was difficult to work up
fervent cheers with a group so small and
scattered, the spirit girls and the crowd
(crowd?) managed as best they could.

And the loudest.

* * * *

The Centenary Dames Club is planning
a rummage sale for April 28 in Haynes Gym,
with proceeds scheduled to go to a campus
project, and needs articles to sell--
clothing, furniture, white elephants,
trays, books, plants, etc. Anyone who can
help should leave a message for Mrs . John
Berton, at 869-5154.

The Iowa Mountaineers (Iowa City,
Iowa) are sponsoring two expeditions to
Canada and one trip to Alaska this summer.
The expedition to Mount Robson will be July
24 to August 3, and the camp at Lake Magog
near Mt .Assiniboine will be August 6-17.
The Alaska trip is a planned adventure for
sightseers, hikers, or mountaineers, and
will run from June 15 to July 15. For
details, please see Dr. Stanton Taylor,
m 316 or 869-5230.

Dillard university in New Orleans was
Friday the host of the Conference of Louisiana
Colleges and universities meeting. Centenary's
delegation included Dr. Pate, Dr.Guerin, Walter

There will be an organizational meet-
ing for the Business and Economics Club
Monday, March 12, at 8 pm, in LB 09. All
interested students are invited to attend
according to Pat Hart (861-3080) and Dr.
John Berton.

Strawn's is newly refurbished. The
comfortable, creaky old interior shines with
new paneling, soft stuffed counter stools,
and brand new fancy chairs. Otherwise, the
business of filling the strawberry pie void
continues as usual. Lunches, however, are
up to $1.20.

According to G.H. Cooper of the White's
Cleaners chain, the reason for the difference
in prices charged for laundering men's and
women's shirts (37* for men's, 95* for wo-
men's) is that men's shirts are finished by
a machine which handles 50-60 per hour, while
women's shirts get hand ironing, etc. He
added that women's shirts (which he called
"blouses") are too small to fit the men's
press and have a problem with buttons break-
ing because the men's machine is set up for
right-side buttons. (One girl reports she
has a boy take her shirts in, and gets
charged only 37*.)

A Chance to Choose

There will be a copy of the Fall 1973
Tentative Schedule of Classes posted in the
SUB beginning tomorrow. It will remain
posted for one week so that all students
will be able to check the schedule and
report any serious conflicts to the
Registrar's Office before March 19. After
that date, the conflicts that have been
reported will be considered, and a final
schedule will be decided upon.

This is the first time students have
been given a chance to work with the adminis-
tration in making a class schedule. Hopefully
it will become a regular part of the process,
but only if enough interest is shown.

Senate fcefitnt

This week's Senate meeting was held
March 6 in the Senate office. There were no
absences. One correction should be made from
the report of the last Senate meeting. Sandy
Bogucki was not absent, but was attending a
Student Life Committee meeting which was
held at the same time.

"Patches" will perform at the coffee
house this weekend.

Jeff Hendricks mentioned that the
Student Life Committee was now involved in
discussion of the Honor Code. Pertaining to
Forums, he announced that Dr. Lawrence Meredith
is scheduled for March 19. He is the author
of the book The Sensuous Christian .

Barry Williams discussed what the
Educational Policy Committee is considering
in regard to Great Issues . There has been
a proposal to make the course a mandatory
Interim for freshmen. Also, under discussion
is the possibility of establishing a degree
in Liberal Arts .

As Elections Committee Chairman, Williams
announced that elections will be held April
2 and 3. Petitions are due Friday afternoon,
March 23, by 4:00. The newly elected Senate
will meet the week after Easter break.

Joe Allain was present to discuss the
Miss Centenary Pageant which will be held
March 28. He pointed out that talent will
not be part of the competition. There will
be a tea so that the girls can meet the
judges prior to the pageant, and there will
be evening gown and street dress competition.
Scheduled entertainment consists of Lea
Darwin's Omni -Dance Theatre and a Barber
Shop Quartet. A proposal was passed to
add $100 to the appropriation for the pageant.
Therefore, the total amount given by the
Senate will be $350.

There was a motion to accept the consti-
tution of the newly -formed Business and
Economics Club, but action on this matter
was tabled until the next Senate meeting.

Speaking Out On: POLLUTION

Have you ever set down and really thought
about your purpose at Centenary College? Are
you here for nothing more than a degree that
says B.A. or is B.S.? Have you ever had the
insane desire to search for something without
the enigma of the almighty grade hovering in
the shadows? Has curiosity ever attacked
your soul and caused you to seek answers to
questions you don't really have to answer?
(Read on then.)

Yes, the atmosphere at Centenary has be-
come polluted. Anomalies, equivocations,
harrassment of the intellectuals, and intel-
lectual boorishness have become the standard
of the day. Have our minds really decayed?
When was the last time you set down and
talked about Plato's Republic with a friend?
When was the last time you thought about eco-
nomic phallicies in Adam Smith's Wealth of
Nations while standing in the lunch lineT"

We hold the personal oppinion that the
intellectual climate on this campus, STINKS.

We ask: Why?

"...remember that the elimination of the
cause will of itself eliminate the error;
therefore, study causes, not just errors."

p. 104, 20th Century Type -
writing , btn (ed.J

Protestant Education Ethic:

What you learn does not necessarily have
to be applicable to your immediate situation;
it might be applicable to a situation years
ahead or it might never be applicable at all.
The Education Ethic we are talking about is
a means to an end or an end in itself. We
think learning, and the use of that learning,
is of sufficient motivation for an intellec-
tual climate on campus. The Eager-beaver
student will tap all sources available to him
in his quest for knowledge. This may include
staying over the 50 or 75 minute class peri-
ods and encouraging the teachers and students
to interrelate. Professors' minds are like
a pea patch ready to be picked; the thorough-
ness of the picking will determine the ulti-
mate weight of the bushel of knowledge.

We add, the intellectual does not have to
be a 3.5 brain (didn't Einstein fail algebra?)
Intellectualizing can be fun, even to the
point of getting "high" on it. Why should
anyone be fearful of turning into an intel-
lectual, when one reali zes that most of our
professors are just that. We do not believe
that intellectuals are snobs any more than we
believe that all college students are "hip-
pies." All we ask is that the intellectual
atmosphere at Centenary be fostered so that
students may find the universal truths they
are looking for. The answers are at hand.

Remember: "...there are no unanswered
questions in the minds of the students."

'Yeoman of the Guard'
Coming from Savoyards

The Shreveport Savoyards of the Gilbert
and Sullivan Society will bring 'The Yeoman
of the Guard" to Marjorie Lyons Playhouse
March 22 , 23, and 24, with curtain time at
8 p.m.

Tickets are attainable by mail: send
a check and a self -addressed stamped em-elope
to the Gilbert and Sullivan Society, 615
Linden Street, 71104. The costs are S3 for
adults and $2 for students (high schoolers
and Gents). More facts about tickets are
yours for calling Bitsy Leowenstein at
869-1164.

Unlike other works by the team, says
general director John Renshaw, "Yeoman" is
less satirical , more serious , and more
realistic, with, for the first time, friend
Gilbert not spiking any particular British
institution.

Music for 'Setzuan'
Composed by Student

by Jeff Daiell

His name is Marc Owens , and underneath
the only-slightly-but-uncircumventably leonine
countenance lives the soul of a true artist.

Those in the audience of "The Good Woman
of Setzuan" will appreciate that, for Marc
will be conducting the orchestra at all
six performances --an orchestra which will be
performing music the 20-year old Shreveport
native wrote especially for the show.

"I was ambling through the building...
Mr.'Buseick started a conversation", Marc ex-
plains, and with this innocent beginning, the
Theatre /Speech Chairman asked him to do the
show. Marc looked at the script and said,
"Why not?"

The junior music composition major has
enjoyed this job due to a combination of
both the play and the music. He called it
very challenging: "I've never tried to write
for a show subh as this."

Having started in early November, Marc
finished around the end of January, and has
produced music he considers excellent for
either supporting the show or standing on its
own. The orchestra, he notes, "got into it
very well" despite the strangeness of a pro-
duct with "just a flavoring, just a spice, of
Oriental" sound.

Seeking a career in composing and
conducting, CWens rates Centenary School of
Music highly ("I wouldn't be at Centenary if
it weren't for the School of Music"), although
he sees a lacking with regards to "interaction"
a problem he says is insignificant if the
student is willing to get an education on his
own.

The best thing about music, he remarked
with his artist's nature showing, is being
able "to express yourself, regardless of what
the expression is... being able to create
something", while the worst thing about music
is "running into people that are stuck in one
vein of music" and who are intolerant of
other veins and persons involved therein.

No amount of print, however, can trans-
late the mind and soul of a musician. For a
fuller understanding of music man Marc Owens,
come see "The Good Woman of Setzuan", running
March 8, 9, 10, and then March 15, 16, 17, at
the Playhouse.

Shreveport's Mayor Allen
To Host Library Meeting

Centenary will be the host for Mayor
Calhoun Allen's Special Conference on Libraries
at the Centenary Cafeteria at 12:30 pm,
tomorrow. The Conference is designed to sur-
vey library needs and goals for Northwest
Louisiana and to carry on the "Challenge for
Library Excellence in Louisiana" prescribed
by the Governor's Conference on Libraries in
Baton Rouge last month. Sallie Farrell, the
State Librarian, M'Lou Lynch of Oakdale, and
President John H. Allen of Centenary will be
among the featured speakers. Jan Keye of the
U.S. Office of Education in Dallas will be
an honor guest of the Conference.

Laura Seals of the Shreve Memorial
Library is preparing special exhibits to show
what good library service can be and what it
will mean to the Shreveport area through
the continued development of academic, public,
and school libraries and the Green Gold
Library System.

The Chi Onega's are planning

To the Editor:

THE N O. BUS TRIP

On behalf of the 60 -odd people that went
and the Student Activities Department, I
would like to thank Tom Guerin and Barry
Williams for a tremendous trip to New Orleans.
The trip was handled smoothly and efficiently,
and everybody had a great time.

NO MAN IS AN ISLAND 1

To the Editor:

It's really interesting that a human being
can sincerely state that he has no problems
and doesn't intend to have any in the future,
at least none beyond his power to deal with
personally. It's also interesting that a
member of a social body can insist that he
is an island that will remain unaffected by
any turbulence around him, that no one else's
problems can involve him without his consent,
that his well-being isn't dependent on the
general health of the community around him.

Open Ear not only has a place and purpose
on campus, it's a necessity. I first called
last February; I had been depressed; most of
the time I was alone and lonely. I was be-
having in ways that were obviously self-
destructive, ways I didn't understand. I
was scared. At first I thought I had to come
up with some specific problem, but soon I
learned I didn't need a crisis, that all that
was necessary was to let Open Ear know I
needed someone to talk to. It was workers at
Open Ear who helped me see I needed a profes-
sional "open ear," who told me how to go about
getting an appointment with a psychiatrist,
and who encouraged me when I got scared and
wanted to cancel the appointment. One night
when I thought I was really falling apart,
they sent someone to stay with me.

I don't have to call Open Ear every night
any more. I can have "real" friends now; I
don't have- to depend on a stranger's voice.
Some people might say they aren't going to a
"shrink," they aren't "nuts," they would
never need to call a place like^Dpen Ear.
Sure, everybody has problems; many people
can't cope with their problems without help,
at least not without the occasional comfort
of a sympathetic listener. It's very possi-
ble for even the strongest person's difficul-
ties to get the upper hand, to grow beyond
his ability to handle them. And it's im-
possible for even the smartest person to for-
see this development. Open Ear was there
when I needed them, and the help they gave
enabled me to make some positive changes. I
don't need to call right now, either, Larry
Wright, so I guess I 'm in the same comfortable,
more -or- less normal category of Capable Prob-
lem-Handlers as you- -now. But I know Open
Ear has a necessary place in the community
and on campus, and anybody who denies Open
Ear's importance doesn't know what they're
talking about. I hope Open Ear's there when
some of the "Open Ear stole my dollar!" people
need a friend.

(Name witheld by request)

To the Editor:

We are happy Larry Wright has no problems .
But the fact is, many other people do. In-
cluding, believe it or not, Centenary students.
Donating one dollar to a service organization
such as Open Ear is only one small way to show
some concern for other people.

The people who call Open Ear are not always
able to afford a donation. But the more un-
fortunate thing is that some of those who are
able to afford a contribution do not make it
because they refuse to recognize such serious
problems as venereal disease, unwanted preg-
nancies, drug problems, child abuse, and
acute depression. We are of the opinion that
Centenary students are capable of supporting
Open Ear and show their concern for the com-
munity.

Who knows --maybe even Larry Wright will
have a problem one day.

KEEP THE POSTERS 1

To the Editor:

It is our opinion that White Circle Enter-
prises is doing an excellent job on campus
publicity. Not only are the posters promi-
nently displayed well in advance of campus
events, but Jeff Daiell even manages to make
them readable (our feeling being that a bad
pun turneth away apathy) .

Mr. Daiell has proved himself to be most
conscientious in fulfilling all of his re-
sponsibilities at Centenary, whether in
journalism, postermaking, or theatre. A vote
of confidence, then, for many jobs well done.

MESS IN THECAF

To the Editor

Since in the past your paper has
served to express the gripes of the various
institutions on Campus ( visitation hours,
Open Ear, White Enterprises, Greeks, etc.),
we the undersigned, wish to express our
gripes against that significant number of
students who seem to enjoy making mess on
their food trays and cafeteria tables.

Perhaps they do not realize that their
messes are ultimately cleaned up by their
own Centenary co- students who work at the
caf part time for financial reasons. If you
don't like the food or if you have had a bad
day, go and see the caf manager or call Open
Ear and tell them what a bad day you've had.

Yours for social thought,

"United Workers at Centenary
Cafeteria"

To the Editor:

g GLOMERATEl

I don't understand this brouhaha over the
signs for school activities. All right, so
I'm not a student here, but I visit this cam-
pus quite frequently, and those signs always
catch my eye. Yeah, some of the guy's puns
almost bludgeon me into a coma, but I'd read
his signs before I'd read anyone else's.
Some are pretty good, too.

So, please, Centenary, let the guy keep
his job.

Besides, I understand he's a capitalist,
and we need all of those we can get.

Throw Hobbs et al into some dark and
smelly pungeon.

Off and punning,
Don Lucas

BEHOLD THE MIGHTY FUEL CELL

If all the energy locked in the chemical
bonds of gasoline could be converted into an
electric current, an average size car could
go 100 miles on a tank of gasoline. And the
car would run silently, with virtually no
fumes. No, the Millenium is not here yet,
but a device that can convert some of gaso-
line's chemical energy is here. It's called
a fuel cell.

The chemical bonds in any fuel (the energy
that holds its constituent atoms together)
are electrical. But we ordinarily— such as
in an internal combustion engine- -change some
of the fuel's chemical energy into explosive
heat energy, and then into mechanical energy
by the machine's moving parts. Then we
change some of this mechanical energy back
into electrical energy with a generator.
Each energy change squanders some of the en-
gine's efficiency.

The first device to convert chemical ener-
gy directly to electrical current was Ales-
sandro Volta's wet cell battery (180 years
ago), but the voltaic cell and all modem
batteries use expensive metallic "fuels." If
instead of metal we use a cheap, continuously
supplied fuel, such as hydrogen and oxygen,
to produce the electric current, we have a
fuel cell.

The fuel cell was invented in 1938 by Sir
William Grove, but it was not until the space
exploration of the 1960 's demanded a conve-
nient, reliable, non-polluting source of
electricity, that the fuel cell was developed
into a practical reality.

However, the NASA variety of fuel cells is
hardly designed to compete with the cheap e-
lectricity produced in big, polluting power
plants. Yet according to a review article in
Science (December 22, 1972), the Pratt and
Whitney Company has developed the fuel cell
to the point that a fuel cell power plant
can be constructed for 350 to 450 dollars per
kilowatt- -no matter what size the plant is.
This may seem awfully cheap, but much of the
fuel cell has to be rebuilt every two months.
Be that as it may, Pratt and Whitney says the
plant would be commerically competitive if
the building cost could be cut in half and
the life of the cell doubled. This, they
say, is likely to happen within the next
three years.

What makes the development of the fuel cell
exciting is that it is such a versatile power
source. It has the highest efficiency of any
power plant, and it maintains this efficiency
over a wide range of outputs. A small 100
kilowatt plant is as efficient as a 100,000
kilowatt plant. It can be built quickly and
almost anywhere, because there is no noise or
heat or exhaust pollution. A wide variety of
fuels can be used- -hydrogen, alcohol, gasoline,
and other petroleum fuels.

The first field test of a jet-fuel cell is
a 37.5 kilowatt plant, which began operating
last November in Newark, New Jersey. One way
that a plant like this can help is in storing
electrical energy. One of the greatest in-
efficiencies of electrical power systems is
that the demand for power varies enormously
from peak-hours to off-hours. Yet there have
to be plants on the line reach' to generate
power at a moment's notice. It is possible
to greatly improve this system by keeping all
the generators running at peak capacity- -where
their greatest efficiency lies. Such power
as is not demanded on the lines can be used
very efficiently to break water down into
hydrogen and oxygen. (This is the action of
a fuel cell in reverse.) The hydrogen and
oxygen can be stored and used later as fuel
in a fuel cell to make electricity .

It should be emphasized that there is no
one miracle solution to our energy crisis.
Production and delivery of power is a conplex
maze of competing and interlocking systems.
Solar power, geothemal power, nuclear power
all need to be carefully developed. Yet in
tins winter of energy mismanagement, the fuel
cell seems to be a harbinger of spring.

A recent report in Science magazine de-
scribes the experiences of eight "sane" indi-
viduals, including three psychologists and
two psychiatrists, who admitted themselves
to mental hospitals for up to 54 days. When
entering the hospitals, each of the "pseudo-
patients" conplained of occasionally hearing
voices, but after admission all acted com-
pletely normal. Nevertheless, none of the
hospital staff members ever suspected any
faking. In fact, seven of the experimenters
were diagnosed as schizophrenics and one as
a manic-depressive psychotic. However, many
of the real patients in the psychiatric wards
knew what was going on, and remarked to the

imposters; "You're not crazy You're a

journalist or a professor You're checking

up on the hospital."

During their time in the hospitals, the
"pseudopatients" reported that neither they
nor other patients received adequate treat-
ment. Psychotherapy was rarely available,
and there was almost total reliance on large
doses of tranquilizers which the exoerimenters
and many of the real patients , would flush
down the toilet. These findings prompted
one of the psychiatrists involved in the
study, Dr. David Rosenhan, to declare: "It's
the hospitals themselves that might be in-
sane rather than the patients confined there."

In developed western nations the average
per capita intake of sugar is over 100 pounds
a year. This equals 15-20 per cent of
people's caloric intake, an amount nutrition-
ists consider dangerously high. Some of su-
gar's ill effects were recently discussed in
Nature magazine by John Yudkin of the Uni-
versity of London. Yudkin is particularly
concerned with the relationship between high
sugar intake and artereosclerosis and heart
disease. He also notes that sugar calories
are "empty" calories as they contain no
nutrients. Therefore, most individuals who
eat large amounts of sugar have nutritionally
deficient diets .

THE ASSAULT ON SPORTS

It has become the latest fashion, among
our dear friends and moral guardians of the
'chic,' to condemn, either vehemently or.
with effete and imperious disdain, the
realm of sports; in particular, those sports
requiring what coaches and barflies are so
fond of calling 'hustle.'

The prime target, of course, is football.
One book on the subject, written by an ex-
player turned commune -dweller, goes so far
as to call the game fascistic and decries
the fact that aggression is a predominant
quality of the game.

This derogation of sport is much more
serious than the tiresome and hackneyed-
disdain for it (and bathing, and work, and
intelligence) as 'irrelevant,' a term which
almost compels one to swear never again to
engage in a meaningful dialogue, and never,
but never, to reorder one's priorities.

For the contempt for sport as 'irrele-
vant' can be met with a countercliche' (a
most delightfully sadistic tactic), "do
your own thing," and how does a chic-ie
answer one of his own gems, hmm? But by-
attacking sport on terms of aggression, its
enemies are attempting to pass a moral
judgement. And it is my contention that
the ethical base upon which that iudgement
is passed is counter -human .

There is no denying that aggression,
when it takes the form of coercive violence,
is evil. But aggression can take many forms;
to burden it with an unchangingly evil con-
notation is both unfortunate and inaccurate,
as witness the history of the word propaganda .

For it is aggression which impels Man to
climb the next hill, to seek the stars, to
subdue nature and convert it from an enemy
into a tool. These, too, are aggressive
pursuits .

It is aggression whan an engineer spans
a mighty river with a mightier bridge, when
a Beethoven composes a work of music, when
a Michaelangelo conquers a piece of marble
and gives the world a Pieta. The spirit which
sends Larry Csonka barreling toward the goal
line is the same drive which led Jonas Salk
to develop his vaccine for polio.

All of this would our colleagues of the
non-aggressive chic forswear. Rather they
would have aggression replaced with languid
and soporific tranquility; such pursuits as
bridge-building, hill -climbing , star-seeking
(yes, and football) would give way before
daisy -smelling and perpetual meadow- lol 1 ing .
Man would cease to be Man, and would become,
instead, the Eloi of H.G. Wells' The Time
Machine , or even, perhaps, a wingless ver-
sion of Tinkerbell.

So let Man keep his aggressiveness, al-
though with proper channeling into non-
coercive endeavors (let us remember that
every man on the football field is there of
his own desire) and constructive pursuits,
for this spirit is the glory and the saving
grace of Man, the oil in our lamp. As I
stated it once in a sonnet entitled 'On the
Glory of Humanness,"

I am a Man. I stand above the rest
Of this great Universe as mountain stands
To level ground. For as a Man, full blessed
With resources quite infinite, at hand,
My scope, command, is quite without a bound.
I stand as Lord and Master full of all
About me. I , yes , I , a Man, astound
Myself, for I am quite without a wall!

All Men, my friend, and not just I alone,
Fit my description. Men, by being Men,
Have all Creation at their feet, to own,
And all Men have a Universe to win.
For Man is Chief of all that is --a fact
We must now learn, to accordingly act.

CENTENARY THIRD BASEMAN PAUL YOUNG applies the tag to LeTourneau

College's Tommy Fields during fourth inning action of the Gents-
Yellow Jackets douhleheader here Wednesday afternoon. Centenary
won both ends of its season opener, taking the first game 2-1 on
Don Birkelbach' s home run, and riding a five-run first inning to
a 5-1 rout in the windup. (Sports Photo by Tom Marshall)

by Jim Crow

The Centenary Gents,
paced by junior catcher
Don Birkelbach' s first-
game home run, swept a
season-opening double-
header from LeTourneau
College, 2-1 and 5-1
Wednesday afternoon.

Birkelbach picked
on the first pitch of
Yellow Jacket pitcher
Mark Hogan and sent a
towering blast over
the fence in the right -
center field power al-
ley.

Righthander Dan
Sparrow turned in a
two -hitter for the
Gents in that game.

In the second game,
the Gents exploded for
five runs in the first
inning and never looked
back.

Saturday, Centenary
travels to Arkadelphia,
Ark. for a doubleheader
with Ouachita Baptist.

Cougars Prevail in End

by Tom Marshall

University of Houston 90, Centenary
College 89.

Thus Houston extended its power over
the Gents to eight games --but it can't be
said that it just as easily could have gone
the other way. Just as easily? More easily
is closer to being accurate.

With the dual electronic scoreboards
at 'each end of the Gold Dome beaming 0:00,
00 stood at the foul line with two shots.
One point behind, two points possible. But
it just wasn't to be.

Robert Parish, the seven-foot freshman
sensation who propelled the Gents to new
heights this season was the man who stood
alone at the line with the game in his hands . ^

Golfers See Action

Three Centenary golfers competed for
medalist honors in a collegiate golf match
last Thursday on the Natchitoches Country
Club course. The match was a dual match
between Northwestern State University and
Southern State (Ark.) College, and the three
Gent linksters were only entered in compe-
tition for the medalist title.

Tracy Howard shot a three -over par 74
to lead the Centenary trio, followed by Jeff
Davis (75) and Terry Moores (76).

NSU's George Risty copped medalist
honors with a one -under par 71 effort.

Centenary's David Lisle shot a three-
round total of 218 to place third in the USL
Mardis Gras Invitational golf tournament that
ended Tuesday in Lafayette.

He missed both shots, and the Gents lost.

But Robert Parish did not lose this
game for Centenary. No one person lost the
game . John Hickerson missed a wide open short
jump shot seconds before Robert was fouled.
Larry Davis missed several shots in the
final going- -"in-and-out" shots--that just
didn't drop. Leon Johnson gave the Cougars
two points with a careless throw- in. A
Centenary fan threw a cup on the floor and the
referee called time out just as Parish was
about to shoot a wide open layup.

When you lose by one point, there are
many things to point to. On this night,
Friday, March 2, 1973, Houston was simply
destined to be the winner.

Gent Netters Lose
To Strong Cajuns

The Centenary tennis team opened its
1973 home season with a crushing loss to
powerful University of Southwestern Louisiana
team, dropping all six singles and three
doubles matches on the Hardin Courts here Sat-
urday.

USL's Skipper Hunt topped the Gents'
Rick Clark, 6-3, 6-2, in the No.l singles
match and then teamed with Humberto Izquierdo
to polish off Clark and Pete Matter, 6-1,
6-2 in the top team event.

Centenary tennis coach B. P. Causey announced
that this Friday's scheduled dual match with
Arkansas -Little Rock has been cancelled,
along with a May 4 match with A-LR at
Little Rock.

The Gent netters will be busy this
weekend, though, playing two matches
Saturday on the Hardin Courts. Southern
State (Ark.) College is the opposition for
the first match beginning at 9 a.m. and
Arkansas State takes the courts at 2 p.m.
against the Centenary' team.

by Ifcomt living Pleader

When the time is one a.m. or later and you
find yourself on the verge of starvation, there
is no need for despair. There are places to go

Once the realistically -priced restaurants
near campus (Murrell's, Strawn's, Pizza King)
have closed, the enterprising srudent still
may obtain satiation. For the most part, a
car (The Magic Word) is necessary for trans-
portation to Shreveport's late night eateries,
although bicycles and even plain old feet may
suffice.

DOBBS HOUSE

If you've a sturdy stomach and are willing
to walk six blocks to Youree at Kings Highway,
a Dobbs House awaits. The food is fair, the
service is worse, but there is, at least, a
restaurant open all night witFTin walking dis-
tance from campus .

And if Dobbs House/Toddle House fare is
for you, and if you have access to respec ta-
ble transportation, there are other locations
about town. The Toddle House on Fairfield
near Jordan has the best hamburgers of the
four restaurants in the local chain, but their
eggs and hash -browns are invariably undercooked
I have found the breakfast foods and club
sandwiches to be the best choices at the Dobbs
House on Line.

■ The late night staff at these establish-
ments is quite colorful. You will either en-
joy or despise the atmosphere there depending
upon your attitude toward the staff's probing
conversational efforts. It's great fun to
fabricate a fantastic biography and have
someone believe it.

The Toddle House on Greenwood Road is not
recommended. The three times I visited it
Seemed to be the center for Sh re report 's row-
diest, most obnoxious clientele. In fact, un-
less you lack medium- distance transportation
(making the Youree Drive Dobbs House a neces-
sity!, I recommend that you consider visiting
some nocturnal feeders- not part of this chain.

DEWY'S

Denny's is located on 1-20 at the airport

exit, and is a fine place to dine when you
wish to relax. The service is quite good.
( I've never clocked my waiting time because
I've never been given time to become impa-
tient. The personnel at Denny's are quite
friendly. Most menu items are recommended,
but I feel I must point up some especially
fine dishes.

To the uninitiated, a french dip sandwich
($1.50) is a roast beef sandwich on a fine
roll with a bowl of drippings from the roast-
ing pan in which the sandwich is dipped. If
food can bring about bliss, this dish succeeds

Excellent hot fudge sundaes are available
all night. These equal the best I've had.

Hot apple pie with cheese is also recom-
mended. There is a large selection of ice
box pies to choose from.

The salads at Denny's are excellent. The
lettuce is always fresh and crisp, the toma-
toes are neither over nor under ripe, and the
dressings are good. Their chef's salad ($1.70)
is a filling meal with a generous combination
of julienne ham, turkey, cheeses, and tomato
slices served with rolls. Their smaller
dinner salad at $.50 is iust as good thoitfh
not as large and costly.

The menu has several items tailored for the
calorie counter, one of which is a specially
cooked ground beef steak with cottage cheese,
tomato wedges, and egg slices --492 calories
for $1.50.

Good hamburgers are also available.

SAMBO'S

If you want pancakes, waffles, omelets,
eggs, or other Tare for which you're willing
to drive about fifteen minutes, Sambo's is
the place. The service is superior and the
waiters and waitresses are very friendly and
efficient. The longest I've ever waited for
rood at Sambo's is twenty minutes (more than
half of which was spent waiting for a table).
Though the other food is more than good I
cannot speak highly enough of the cheese ome-
let with six pancakes ($1.25). Sambo's is
an extremely pleasant place to go and is
definitely worth the effort of a drive out
70th Street to Heame.

Some selected menu items: hamburger with
fries, $.85; 1/4 lb. hamburger with cheese
and bacon, $1.05; a good tossed green salad,
$.45; tuna salad with lettuce and tomato,
$1.45; large chef's salad (great), $1.25,
small, $.95; cottage cheese and peach salad
(recommended), $1.25; cheese omelette with 6
pancakes (marvelous - -a full meal), $1.25;
waffles (good!), $.65; 2 eggs, 6 pancakes,
and ham, bacon, or sausage, $1.35.

SANffY'S

About ten more minutes away is Sammy's on
Mans field Road (about a mile south of Joy's
Cinema). There is also a Sammy's on North
Market just north of its intersection with
Hearne Avenue. I have found the atmosphere
at these different each time I have dined.
I have been warmly received a number of times,
but have been treated with hostility about an
equal number of times (I have been treated
with indifference most of the time).

Although the erratic service could cause
me to never return, three items draw me back
again and again: delicious chocolate eclairs,
fresh raw oysters ($1.80 a dozen- -EXPENSIVE! ) ,
and my favorite dish served after midnight by
any Shreveport restaurant- -chicken salad
stuffed tomato, $1.85. The other items on
the menu are quite good, but due to the danger

of poor service I recommend only spending the

for one of the three foods I have recommended.

DUNKIN 1 DONUTS

Dunkin 1 Donuts is open all night for those
in need of coffee and pastry. The doughnuts
are ten cents each, with many varieties.

WALKER'S

I saved it for last Walker's. Every

time I've been to the Southern Kitchen (Wal-
ker's on Southern) I've seen other Centenary
people, so perhaps little need be said of this
restaurant. Have any of you ever been to the
Walker's on Hearne or Jewel la? I like both
places and find it fun going to either.

Selected items: hot roast beef, $1.40;
club house, $1.40; hamburger, $.65; chef's
salad, $1.50; waffle with bacon, $1.35; 2
eggs with bacon, $1.50; onion rings, $.'45.

With these words begins the riotous adven-
ture of Huckleberry Finn and his two counter-
feit royal friends as they stage a farcical
production of a classic play.

While Playhouse productions are staged
superlatively, the fun and excitement of a

The play, to be shown the first two weeks

Eugene O'Neill is considered by many the

Blanchard Salone, Employment Counselor at

speak at the Episcopal Canterbury House at
5:30 P.M., Thursday, March 29. Mr.. Salone

Along with his prime duty of finding jobs

A new group called the Interfaith Student
Community 1S now meeting at the Canterbury
House on Sundays at 6:00 p.m.

The purpose of the group is to foster com-
munity and understanding among students of
various religions or no religion. The group
is not affiliated with any particular religion.

Students attending are expected to be open
minded and nonjudgmental of the social values
and beliefs of others in the group. The age
restriction is 20-25 years of age.

"Axe grinders and evangelists are not wel-
come, according to coordinator Joel H. Ander-
son. The purpose of the group is not to
save souls but to promote human understanding

"Columbus, I am told, thought the world
was round. He went sailing on the Santa
Maria (good Christian, he) to prove it. He
was wrong, of course. The world sailed by
"the saints is not round. It is square. It
is a world they conquered but did not love.
They came to Eden driven by the stark in-
junction to have dominion: with ramrods
down their backs and iron in their crotches."

On Monday, March 19, 1973, Dr. Lawrence
Meredith, late of Bogeta, Texas; Cambridge,
Massachusetts; and Stockton, California; will
fly into Shreveport to speak as the first
Forums speaker for the spring semester. Cur-
rently Professor of Humanities, Callison Col-
lege, the University of the Pacific, in
Stockton, California, Dr. Meredith is no
stranger to this section of the country as he
graduated from Crozier Technical High School
in Dallas in 1946 and went on to take a B.A.
(cum laude) in English from Southwestern
University in Georgetown, Texas, and a B.D.
from Perkins School of Theology, S.M.U. in
1953. He also has done graduate work in
Systematic Theology at the Boston University
of Theology, Boston, Massachusetts, and re-
ceived a Ph.D. in 1962 from Harvard University
in the History and Philosophy of Religion.

A pastor, teacher of religion, and college
chaplain, Dr. Meredith has lectured in places
and situations as widely spread as Mt. Pleas -
and, Iowa; Lakeland, Florida; and Bangalore,

India. He has also recently published a

The Sensuous Christian: A Celebration of

Freedom and Love (Association Press . New York! ,
around which he will center his presentation
for Monday night.

Asserting the need of modern man for free-
dom and love, and then celebrating the deci-
sion of the growing self for freedom and self-
determination, Meredith insists we must start
with the idea that the very being of God is
our life. Synthesizing the thoughts of di-
verse thinkers as Timothy Leary and Dietrich
Bonhoeffer, Hugh Hefner, and Dr. Seuss, Dr.
Meredith speaks candidly of this freedom and
love which modern man is so frantically search-
ing for.

"It is now apparent that Christianity as
I had known it in Middle America and as it
has been bodied forth in community standards,
microformed in colleges like Pacific, is
finished. Or rather, I would like to help
finish it."

THE CONGLOMERATE

Page Three

A Genius in the Family

Carl Friedrich Gauss was quite a guy In
fact, he was one of the greatest mathematical
geniuses of all time. Not a bit like Mary-
annan Mayer.

There is a connection here, and it's a
very direct one. Maryannan, a Centenary
junior, is Gauss's great -great -great -great
granddaughter. Recently, Marvannan showed
the CONGLOMERATE the family tree in the
back of Carl Friedrich Gauss: Titan of
Science . Sure enough, her lather's name is
under "Eighth Generation." (Maryannan was
born too late to make the publishing date.)

One of her favorite stories about Gauss
occurred around the time he was only three
years old. One of his father's friends was
visiting the Gauss home to work on some busi-
ness forms , and the younger Gauss had to
correct a few of his father's arithmetical
errors .

It's pure luck that Maryannan is even
living in Shreveport . Carl Gauss's fourth
son and Maryannan' s great -great -great grand-
father, Wilhelm, was a farmer who came to

America and regretted it. Fortunately, he

decided to stay anyway.

When asked if anyone in her family has any
inclinations toward following Gauss's field,
Maryannan said, "they're all really good in
math and sciences. One of my uncles was a
chemist." However, she doesn't seem destined
to carry on Carl Gauss's discoveries. She is
a Sociology major and has taken three science
courses and no more math courses since first
entering college. M.A. explains, "He (Gauss)
got all the genes for math."

The Great Attic Book Sales which the Cen-
tenary Library conducts each semester have be-
come one of the most important social, cultu-
ral, and economic events of our campus life.
The Library gains by clearing its storage
shelves of unwanted books while at the same
time turning these unwanted books into cash
for the purchase of new books for the collec-
tion. The students and other members of the
campus community gain through the opportunity
to build their personal libraries through the
purchase of useful books at very nominal
prices .

The customers for the book sale set for
Monday and Tuesday, March 19 and 20, will find
the usual selection of interesting volumes in
the various fields of knowledge. " Special
items include various more or less new atlases,
a not too old Encyclopedia Britannica, and a
bigger than usual selection of new, at least
for the book sale, books in economics, fiction,
and Spanish literature. The real "biggie"
will be the opportunity to purchase a' com-
plete set of the Harvard Classics for $30.
This works out to $6 per foot for the famous
five-foot shelf, a real bargain when compared
to the per- foot value of ocean front property
at Miami Beach. '

Rev. Herbert Barks
Next at Chape l

The Rev. Herbert B. Barks, Jr. will be the
speaker at next Thursday's (March 22) Chapel
sendees, Robert Ed has announced.

The Reverend Barks is currently President
of The Baylor School, one of America's top
prep schools for over seventy years. Before
that, his career has been exciting and per-
haps even exotic.

That career has included several pastorates
in at least four states. He has been involved
in youth programs, and is quite an accomplished
author. His works have appeared both in A-
merican and British periodicals, and the
author of the book of poetry, Words Are No
Good If The Game Is Solitaire . More , he has
been a screen writer, with his second movie
scheduled for release this year.

TheTermpaper Scan dal

NEW YORK- -Companies selling term papers
to college students have grown so large that
they have become multi -million dollar con-
cerns. According to the April Esquire , pub-
lished today, term paper files, once the
province of fraternities, are now handled
by firms that do nationwide business and in
some instances have 800 numbers so that
patrons across the country can call in
their orders toll free.

One company, according to the Esquire
article, "Why Johnny Can't Flunk," main-
tained a rile of over ten thousand papers
ard issued a catalog of its wares. Term
papers written to order went for $3.85 a
page, while catalog papers sold for two dol-
lars a pace.

Although some states have outlawed term
paper sales, business couldn't be better.

THE CONGLOMERATE

Speaker's
Corner

March 15, 1973

by Rick Clark

Not one week goes by without a student or
faculty member asking me, "Well, what does
the Senate do?" To begin by answering that
question, the Senate has very little to do
with governing! Our main function is the al-
location of money. At registration each stu-
dent pays a $50 student activities fee which
is delegated as follows (all figures approxi-
mate) : Conglomerate, $1.50; Yoncopin, $10.00;
Insurance, $5.00; Playhouse, $2.00; Physical
Ed., $2.00; Nurse, $2.50; Senate Budget.
$15.00; Miscelaneous (Open Ear-$1.00), $10.00.

The Senate has direct control over $-15.00
of your money. The people you elect to repre-
sent you must be willing to work and vote
wisely. They must also be aggressive think-
ers, not regressive followers. When you vote,
think of this. The new Senate must deal with'
the following issues: 1). Forums, 1 major or
3 minor; 2). Entertainment, 1 major group or
varied smaller acts; 3). Are coffeehouses a
good investment? --the average attendance is
about 30-40 students; 4). Should the Senate
involve itself (financially) with the cheer-
leaders?

So, when you vote for your Student Senate
representatives, think of these kinds of
things . Try to avoid a person who is after
a "title."

This past year has been, I feel, success-
ful for the Senate. The students of the col-
lege should run for an office in an attempt
to try to change something they do not like
and support the things they do.

You will recall, and I will never forget,
the Visitation Issue of the fall. The stu-
dent body, as a whole, united and changed a
policy we did not want. If this kind of
action were taken in all matters of student
concern, we could get more accomplished!

I have no feelings whatsoever for the
students who gripe and complain. They never
are really interested enough to change any
thing!

If you are sincerely interested in working
for the betterment of the campus --run for
office. See Barry Williams or a Senate mem-
ber for details.

A Louisiana atlas, books on New Orleans architecture and Atchafalaya swamplife, and a
guide to Louisiana wildflowers are among recent library purchases made under the Kellogg
Foundation grant received by Centenary. Money remains in the fund to purchase environ-
mental works, according to head librarian Charles Harrington. Students and faculty may
make recommendations to him by dropping a note through campus mail or calling 869-5170

To the Editor:

It is apparent that at least forty -three
people did not read my last letter. I stated,
"I am not denouncing Open Ear as an organi-
zation. . and I want to re-emphasize that
what I am opposed to is my money being taken
without ray permission. I am very much opposed
to mandatory fees anyway, and pay them only .
reluctantly; so when one dollar is taken for
a supposed "charitable organization" I voice
my opposition.

To the anonymous supporter of Open Ear, I
want to say that I am truly glad that Open
Ear has helped you. I said before that such
an organization may have a place in a com-
munity, but I do not want my money taken with-
out by permission to finance it.

To the forty -three "Students Who Care" I
have made careful calculations and if each
"student who cares" donates only $13.96, Open
Ear will have $600.28. If the writer of the

would be less per person* and Open Ear wouldn't

Greetings! We, the "inferior brothers"
(sic) of Santana, hereby challenge the above
addressed curs , the Sexton Sots (commonly
called m our circles the Dizzy Drunks), to

Speaking Out On: GREAT ISSUES
Or, The Old Oak is Dying

Sick: One great issue, very old and rotten.
It was blown down by a big wind and is
stODuing traffic on Centenary Blvd., mostly
seniors. The authorities fear it is so big
they will never get it cleared. Some say
that the next faculty meeting will be dedi-
cated to that "Old Oak."

We ask: Are there any great issues on
camDus?

We answer: Yes.
Many old trees on our beautiful campus are
dying and nothing is being done to replace
them. We suggest planting new pines and new m
oaks each year to replace those that are gone '
Take three weeks next January, tree planting
season in Shreveport, and let students do the
work as part of interim. Our campus will
look alive now, and in the future.

Remember: 'The best plan is to keep the
students in purposeful activity."

THE CONGLOMERATE

by Jeff Daiell

BREAKTHROUGH IN POLITICAL NOMENCLATURE

Last Thanksgiving, while helping out on a
project for the Theater/Speech Department, I
was having an animated discussion with my
favorite Marxist over political terms. She
called me a reactionary, and seemed to view
herself as some sort of radical, and most
definitely a liberal.

That shows the sad state that political
terminology is in at the present time. Cur-
rently, procapitalists such as myself are
called either conservatives or reactionaries,
while anticapitalists such as she are called
liberals, or radicals.

Nonsense .

Leftist or collectivist theory, practice,
and ideology has dominated history. Histo-
rically, the State has taken its place along-
side other inane gods in the halls of wor-
ship. Throughout time, individuals have been
told to glorify the State or the group, wheth-
er the State was represented by a tribal
chieftain, a King, a Fftaroah, a Fuerher, a
Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

It was late in history that someone said,
,f No!" It has been only recently that indi-
viduals began to declare that the state was
merely a tool, a device, a servant, a means
rather than an end; that the individual per-
son was the important one. This heretical
idea was radical then; it is no less radical
now.

Because these persons advocated freedom,
they were called liberals , from liber (free)
and al (pertaining to J . As advocates of
free3om today, they no less deserve the name
(see Max Eastman, Reflections on the Failure
of Socialism , Ch. b, "What to CalFYourseTF 7 )
As the Left advocates increased power to the
State or to the collective, and would blud-
geon individual freedom into nonexistence,
the expression 'liberal Left" is as much a
contradiction in terms as the expressions
'Military intelligence/' "CBS News," or
"Christian love."

Thus the truth is revealed. It is the Left
which is "conservative" or "reactionary," the
Right which is "radical" and "liberal." But
to try to reverse the usage of current terms
may well be impossible. A new system which
will recognize historical relationships must
be brought to the fore.

Luckily, I developed just such a system
some fourteen months ago. Being essentially
a generous guy, I have decided to share it
with the world. Therefore, taking time off
from audiences with the Pope, making love to
Racquel Welch, and carving model airplanes
out of bars of Ivory Soap, I herewith present
The Jeff System of Political Classification:

I. Originalists : As I said, societies have
been historically collectivist or statist.
So this category contains all those wor-
shippers of the State before the intel-
lectual revolution which splattered upon
a dingy collectivism the cleanser of in-
dividual rights. This group includes
Pharoahs, sultans, Spartan oligarchs,
Divine-Right-Of-Kingsers , and other such
undesirables .

II. Revolutionaries : These are the men and
women who first declared the doctrine of
personal autonomy, of individual rights.
It would include the Lockes , the Jeffer-
sons , the Henrys .

III. Counter -Revolutionaries : Those who are
frightened, moral lv repulsed, or bewil-
dered by the thought of individual free-
dom, who would return to previous condi-
tions of collectivism and statism, are
the Counter-Revolutionaries . This cate-

gory includes your Roosevelts , Humphreys,
Mc Go veins , Nixons , and other such un-
savory types.

TV. Counter-Counter-Revolutionaries or Re-
Revolutionaries : This category lists
those who are attempting to stem or re-
verse the reactionary tide of the pitiful
denizens of Category III.; the persons
who are fighting to preserve what is left
of personal freedom and maybe even to ex-
pand it against the deadening weight of
the increasingly omnipotent State. This
category contains such men and women as
Barry Goldwater and Judy Griffin.

V. Extensionists : In practice the most evil
ot all statist groups, this squadron in-
cludes those who would increase the power
of the State or the collective to ever
greater heights (or, from a Libertarian
standpoint, depths). This group includes
Marx, Mao, Hitler, Stalin, and other such
loathsome and despicable personages .

VT. Ultra-Revolutionaries : This sixth group
contains those who would maximize indi-
vidual autonomy, either by reducing the
pcwer of the State to prevention of force
and/or fraud, or by eliminating the State
altogether. This division contains those
such as Ayn Rand, Murray Rothbard, Lud-
wig von Mises, Lysander Spooner (a 19th
Century iconclast who almost eliminated
the U.S. Post Office via peaceful compe-
tition until Congress passed a law for-
bidding private delivery of first-class
mail for profit), Nathaniel Branden, and
the members of the Libertarian Party.

This system eliminates the unfortunate am-
biguities of such terms as "liberal," "con-
servative," and the like. It clearly defines
each person according to his place on the
Freedom -Dictatorship continuum, and provides
historical perspective as well.

So, the next time you need a time-filler,
iust get out The Jeff System and a history
book, and begin your list.

Better yet, start asking yourself, if you
fall into any of the first five categories,
why the devil you're not in the sixth.

The Fountain of Youth
Is Within You

The genes for age lie dormant in youth;
the genes for youth lie dormant in old age.
At least this is the belief of some aging
theorists. Yet some workers claim that aging
is mainly a stochastic process- -accumulation
of chance errors in genetic coding and the
cross -linking of long -chain molecules. Pro-
bably both are partly right. But how much
of aging can be attributed to the genetic
program, and how much to the piling up of
errors 0 A recent experiment shows that, in
insects, the more important factor is genetic.

It is striking that different species of
animal age at different, but steadv, rates.
Man. we say, is old at 60. A horse is old
at 20, a dog at 15. A two-year-old mouse is
aged, and a worker bee in seventy days is
ancient. Me seem to be designed to age at a
specific rate. Like automobiles, we have a
built-in obsolescence factor. This is pro-
bably because each evolving species, as it
carves out its ecological i.iche, fixes upon
a life-span as well as all the other physical
characteristics determined by its genes.
Life-span is as specific a part of the spe-
cies' niche as size or habitat.

If aging is genetic, it may be possible
to stop the aging process, or even reverse
it, by interfering with the genetic program.
The trouble is that we don't know what part
of the program to interfere with, or how to
do it. However we can, in a crude way, in-
terfere with an animal's development program

by starving it. If we can reverse this pro-
gram then, insofar as aging is a genetic
program, we may be able to reverse aging, too.

A big step in this direction was taken by
Stanley Beck and R.K. Bharadwaj at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin. (See Science , December
15, 1972.) They utilized the fact that the
beetle, Trogoderma glabrum , like other in-
sects, has two distinct phases of life, lar-
val and adult. Each phase has its own set
of genes and presumably any genes for aging
are in the adult phase. So, if there are
any aging effects to be discovered in the
larval phase, they must be due to accumula-
tions of errors.

Can beetle development be reversed?- Yes,
the beetles can be put on a veritable "yoyo"
program of regression and regrowth. Beck
and Bharadwaj cut off the food and water of
advanced beetle larvae. The larvae diminished
in size and weight, repeatedly shedding their
larval skins in the shrinking process. Given
food and water, the larvae rapidly grew to
normal size, shedding their skin a few times
on the way back. However repetitions of this
cycle took longer and longer. And the re-
searchers decided that the diminished capa-
city to reverse and bounce back resembles
aging, especially since doubling, tripling,
and quadrupling of the larval chromosomes
occurred .

This larval aging seems not to be a gene-
tic program. Yet by means of the larval
retrogressions and regrowths, beetles that
would have died in eight weeks were kept
alive for two years. This seems to be a
strong argument for saying that aging in the
beetle is mainly a program that takes over
in the adult phase.

Other researchers have extended the lives
of mice, rats, and chickens by postponing or
retarding adulthood- -the Peter Pan effect.
This is accomplished by partial starvation,
or, more delicately, by withholding the es-
sential amino acid, tryptophan. What is new
about the insect work is the reversal of de-
velopment. To the extent that aging is a
developmental program we should be able to
reverse it- -if we find out which genetic
buttons we have to push, and how to push them
without untowards effects. A tall and omi-
nous order.

It should be clear that we are in the pro-
cess of carving for ourselves a new ecologi-
cal niche. If greatly extended youth is part
of that niche, what are the other characteris-
tics necessary for survival in it? It is hard
to know. We seem to be sleepwalking our way
to a new species . Anybody for Homo deus?

TOMORROW: The Verdehr-Renner Trio

The first out-of-state appearance for
Michigan's Verdehr-Renner Trio will be here
at Centenary at 8 p.m. tomorrow.

Formed in 1972 , the group includes vio-
linist Walter Verdehr (pictured above) , Eiffa
Ludewicj-Verdehr on the clarinet, and pianist
David Renner, all of whom are Michigan State
University artists-in-residence .

The performance will range from Brahms to
Bartok, and will include a work by Jere
Hutcheson , famed for his composition Night
Gallery . — 2 —

Each of the three, despite the newness of
the trio, is an accomplished and experienced
musician. Ms. Ludewig-Verdehr has appeared
in a solo performance at Carnegie Hall, and
Walter Verdehr has taped several performances
distributed across America by the National
Educational Television network, as has Renner.

All three have received abundant rave
reviews, and the blending of their respective
exoertises promises an exciting evening of
both classical and modern music.

Gents Are
Gentle On
My Mind

. . .record setter.

A DEAD END STREET

The 1972-73 Centenary College basketball
season is over. When the last three National
Invitational Tournament bids were accepted a
few days ago, the Gents' only possible ave-
nue of further hardcourt endeavors turned
into a dead end street.

I went back to the Gold Dome the other

day and sat high in
the red seats and
looked around. The
court was empty save
for a game of one-
on-one between Leon
Johnson and Cal
Smith at one end.
The bleachers were
rolled back, the
floor swept, the
scoreboards dark.
But I still got a
funny feeling as
I looked around;
there were plenty
of mental catalysts
there .

The scoreboards
still oroclaimed the
names of the 13 Cents who had worked so hard
all season long. There was "13 Home M" right
there at the ton, even though Roadrunner
played in only 14 games before his foot got
caught under an opponent's during the Vir-
ginia Commonwealth game. On the other side
of the ledger, the names of the Houston Cou-
gars still held their lofty perch. . .
Hayes, Jones, Dunbar. . . and my mind went
back to that Friday night two weeks ago.
The big KA sign that says, "Drink, party,
dance. . . Houston doesn't have a chance!"
still hangs from the light standard at one
end of the court. The "Way" from the "Data
Way Cents!" banner somehow hasn't been
torn down either. The 3,400 plus fans
aren't still in their seats, but it doesn't
take much to imagine them there.

Nor is it hard to remember when Larry
Davis went crashing into the goal at the
East end of the floor in the fifth game of
the season against Indiana State. Or the
fantastic surge that earned the overtime
in the Texas game. Or even the great Cent-
let junior varsity squad that won its last
13 games- -eight of those at home.

DUST OFF THE RECORD BOOK

Centenary, 11-2 on its home floor, re-
wrote the school record book this season.
No less than 18 Cent standards were estab-
lished, with 6-0 senior Melvin Russell and
7-0 3/8 freshman Robert Parish accounting
for ten of them.

Movin' Mel is now
responsible for ev-
ery Centenary assist
record there is. His
17 assists versus
LSI! -New Orleans near
the season's end set
a new single game
mark. His 184 over
the course of the
year obliterated
the record for a
single camr>aign.
And his career
total of 387 was
nearly 150 more
than the previous
standard set by Lee
Mansell from 1968-
70. Mansell also
held the other feed
marks that Mel
bettered.

Parish literally
took the game into his own hands, getting
seven new individual marks. Big Bob set re-
cords for rebounds --33 in one game and 505
for the season for an 18.7 average; points --
50 in a single outing against Lamar Univer-
sity in only his seventh collegiate game;
and field goals --25 against Lamar and 285

Centenary helped
Southeast Missouri
State kick off its
1973 baseball sea-
son on the right
foot, dropping both
ends of a double-
header to the In-
dians here Wednes-
day afternoon.

The Missourians
jumped on Centenary
freshman Jerry Pey-
ton, who was making ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
his first college pitching start, for three
runs in the second inning, two in the third,
and four in the fourth before the Gents could
cross the plate and waltzed to an easy 9-3
victory in the opener. The Indians then
wrapped up the finale by a more modest 6-3
margin.

Peyton, a righthander out of Shreveport's
Byrd High, was the victim of 11 Missouri hits
Jerry steadied in the late innings, though,
retiring six straight batters before an In-
dian reached base safely via an error, then
mowing down the last five he faced.

The Gents got two unearned runs in the
sixth when Don Birkelbach scored on Frank
Parks' infield grounder and then Dave Olson
raced home frori second when the Missouri
second baseman threw wildly to first.

Dave Deets powered a pinch hit home run
in the seventh inning for Centenary's only
other tally.

In the second game, Centenary jumped. out
to a quick 1-0 lead when Olson blasted an
0-2 pitch 340 feet over the right field
fence. But that advantage was short-lived,
as Southeast Missouri roared back for three
scores in its next time at bat and built up
a 6-1 lead after six frames.

Tracy Knauss was tagged with the loss for
the Gents, his second against one victory.

Centenary, now 3-3 on the season, plays
host to LSU-New Orleans in a twin bill Friday
beginning at 12 noon, and the University of
Nebraska comes to Shreveport for a double-
header Tuesday afternoon at 1:30.

PARISH GETS ALL-AMERICAN RECOGNITION

Robert Parish, Centenary's seven-foot
freshman center, has been named to The Sport -
ing News 1 1973 "Honorable Mention" All-Ameri-
can team.

The weekly sports newspaper named five
first-teamers, five second- teamers , and 30
honorable mention members to its 31st All-
American team. The selections were announced
in the March 17 issue of The Sporting News .

The Most Valuable Player award went to
UCLA's 6-11 center Bill Walton. Walton, a
junior, averaged just over 20 points and 17.9
rebounds per game en route to his second con-
secutive MVP citation. The big center's top
performance this season was a 32-point, 27
rebound output against Loyola of Chicago.

Parish, in his first collegiate season,
ended with averages of 23.0 points and 18.7
rebounds per game, itobert'-s peak output was
a 50-point, 30 -rebound outburst against Lamar
University. Parish later bettered that 30-
rebound effort with 33 against the University
of Southern Mississippi.

Other area college stars named to the team
were Dwight (Bo) Lamar (University of South-
western Louisiana), second team; Mike Green,
(Louisiana Tech); Etoight Jones, (Houston); Tom
Henderson (Hawaii) ; Martin Terry (Arkansas) ,
all honorable mention.

Watch for a special CONGLOMERATE feature
on this- -the first professional baseball
spring training in Shreveport in over 15

COLLEGIATE INVITATIONAL GOLF POSTPONED

Saturday's downpour played havoc with the
area collegiate spring sports schedule, and
among the victims was the Eastwood Country
Club Invitational collegiate golf tournament,
which Centenary is co- sponsoring.

The quadrangular event, with Northwestern,
Louisiana Tech, and Southern State also en-
tered, has been rescheduled for April 2.

BASKETBALL ATTENDANCE UP

Home basketball attendance is up over last
year, according to figures released this
week by the Centenary Sports Information of-
fice.

Total home attendance for the 1972-73 sea-
son was 33,142 for 13 games. That's an ave-
rage of 2,549 per game, or approximately
1,000 more per contest than last year.

The largest home crowd of the season was
3,598 for the Centenary -Uni vers tiy of Texas
game on January 6. The second and third
largest turnouts were in the last two games
of the season against Northwestern State and
Houston. Houston drew 3,442 while NSU at-
tracted 3,175. The Houston crowd undoubtedly
could have been the largest crowd of the sea-
son had the athletic department not taken
steps to prevent an "oversell" such as that
which occurred for the Texas game.

Last season's largest home crowd was 2,500
plus for Houston.

A total of 78,142 "live" fans saw the
Gents play basketball this year, the largest
single game attendance being the two -game
set in Hawaii, of which each crowd was listed
officially as 7,495. All of the Rainbows'
home games are sold out.

The red seats in the upper deck of the
Gold Dome, the only seats sold in advance
on a season basis, were sold out well before
the opening of the season.

CENTENARY SITE OF BASEBALL TRAINING

Over 100 minor league baseball players,
comprising the entire Milwaukee Brewers minor
league system, are scheduled to arrive in
Shreveport next week for spring training, ac-
cording to the local office of the Shreveport
Captains .

The players are currently training in Yuma,
Arizona with the parent Brewers and will come
to Shreveport to complete their training be-
fore the season opens near the middle of April

The players will use the Centenary diamond
for some of their workouts, along with the
Captains' home park, SPAR Stadium.

Four minor league teams, along with their
coaching staffs, will be here: Evansville
(Ind.) Triplets, American Association (AAA);
Shreveport Captains , Texas League (AA) ; Dan-
ville (111.), Midwest League (A); Newark
(N.Y.), Rookie League. Several former major
league players will be among the coaches
present .

The Selling of Centenary iThe Paying of the Senate i Much More'

C ONGLOMERAT E

Centenary College/Shreveport , Louis iana/Vol . 67, No. 20/ Thursday, March 22, 1973

by John and Sissy Wiggin

Happiness lies in discovering and follow-
ing our own natural rhythms. This idea
stands out among the many presented by Dr.
Lawrence Meredith at a poorly -attended Forums
Monday night. Following our natural rhythms,
said Meredith, involves more than M doing
your own thing." It is more than a personal
experience, for sharing is necessary if we
are to completely discover our own natural
rhythms. "The action" is in the connunal
spirit, for following our natural rhythms
is impossible when we must compete with each
other.

This competition was the essence of the
American Dream. The American Dream died,
said Meredith, when we didn't win the Korean
War. It was the death of America as the ul-
timate authority. No longer could America
dictate any country's political future. Dur-
ing the sane period the repressive character
of the American Dream was destroyed when
Hugh Hefner published Playboy . Hefner was
not just publishing another porno mag, but
an intellectual magazine with a foldout of
what very well could be "the girl next door."
Hefner snubbed his nose at established ideas
of morality and, as indicated by his pheno-
menal success, effectively weakened the ta-
boos left over from our Puritan forefathers.
The 1950 's signaled not only a weakening of

sexual inhibitions but also the end of the
repression of blacks in America. Meredith
spoke of Martin Luther King as the impetus
for this nonviolent revolution and as a per-
sonal friend.

These three events, the Korean War stale-
mate, the publishing of Playboy and the
black revolution, according tc Meredith,
were only a beginning of the turbulent six-
ties. Many events surfaced to celebrate the
death of the American Dream- -the new black
consciousness, the student movement, the
death of God, gay liberation, and the most
farreaching revolution of all, women's libera-
tion. This revolution, Meredith claimed,
will prove to be the most fundamental revo-
lution of Western culture.

These events united those alienated from
the American Dream. This communal spirit was
short-lived, however, for the Revolution has
now gone underground and we are faced with
what Meredith tenns "the onset of loneliness."

In an effort to combat this loneliness, we
must shift our perspective. No longer can
we compete with each other, but we must learn
to share. Meredith proposed what he called
four "startling statements" (graffiti).
These statements may be considered guidelines
for those alienated from the American Dream.

Startling Statement II: "I would only be-
lieve in a God that dances" (Nietzsche). By

THE CONGLOMERATE

March 22, 1973

neovt Stunts

There will be an open meeting to brainstorm
academic innovations at Centenary this Fri-
day afternoon at 3 pm in Mickle Hall. Inter-
ested faculty and students are encouraged to
attend.

A 70 -mile bicycling trip around Caddo
Lake will be held Saturday, April 7, spon-
sored by the Ozark Society. The bicyclers
will eat lunch at the historic Riverfront
Restaurant in Jefferson, Texas, according
to Ella Edwards (869-5172) of the Ozark
Society. Riders must be capable of riding
fifteen miles -per -hour and must have avail-
able a lightweight ten-speed in top condi-
tion. Filled water bottles are also manda-
tory for the trip. Anyone interested may
contact Ms. Edwards during working hours
at the library.

Remember that tentative Fall '73 schedule
posted in the SUB? During the two weeks it
remained up only five students submitted
conflicts to the Registrar's Office in Hamil-
ton Hall across campus from the sleepy silver
bayou. Yawn.

Approximately fifty students attended the
Forum Monday night. Now, divide that fifty
into the $700 that the students paid (through
the Senate) for the speaker, and you get...
fourteen dollars per person. Yawn.

The time has come. CONGLOMERATE and YON-
COPIN applications for next semester will be
due next month, so it is time for students
interested in positions to contact Maurie
Wayne (5151), Dr. Webb Pomeroy (5280), Susan
Bell (5331), or Taylor Caffery (5269) for
information. Positions on both publications
offer scholarships.

The Centenary Radio Station is rapidly be-
coming a reality. At a meeting Monday of
the new Communications Committee (see Edi-
torial on page four), Dr. Pomeroy, Maurie
Wayne, Robert Buseick, and Taylor Caffery
discussed the progress of the application
filed with the FCC. According to reasonable
estimates, a construction permit might be
forthcoming by the end of this semester, al-
though the FCC has made no promises. Once
the license is received the committee plans
to call an open campus meeting to air funding
and programming proposals and accept appli-
cations for manager and other positions.

Buseick announced that the Theater Depart-
ment will hold a course in "Communications
Media: Radio" next semester, with a tele-
vision course planned for later. The radio
course, limited to 10-15 students, will be
held in cooperation with KEEL Radio.

Nominations for Women's Judicial Board
may be made by contacting Joy Jeffers in
Dean Miller/Rawlinson's office. Friday, March
30, is the deadline. Candidates must be
women .

We failed, team. Twice. 1) The Miss Cen-
tenary Pageant has been cancelled, Joe Allain
told the CONGLOMERATE TYiesday, due to the
lack of interest. Now we're all free to go
see Santana that night. 2) The 'annual Great
Teachers -Scholars fund didn't make its goal.
At the final campaign meeting held Tuesday,
over $261,000 in donations were reported.
But don't despair, says Director of Develop-
ment Grayson Watson. Some pledge cards have
yet to come in, so we may possibly reach the
$300,000 goal.

High School senior, worked in the bread-and-

bor omnia vincit.

Campus Posts Open

Elections Committee chairman Barry Wil-
liams has announced that elections for the
Centenary Student Senate and the Men's Judi-
cial Board will be held Monday and Tuesday,
April 2nd and 3rd.

Eleven senate posts are open and seven
seats (2 sophomore, 2 junior, 2 senior, 1 at-
large) are available on the Judicial Board.
Senate seats include both Greek and GDI
representatives and the three officers:
President, Vice-President, and Treasurer;
who, starting in the fall, will receive
grants of $125 per semester.

So far, straws in the wind that have
landed in the CONGLOMERATE office list the
following probable candidates: Rick Clark,
considering a re-election campaign as Presi-
dent of the Senate; Cindy Yeast, scooping up
signatures on her nominating petition for
Veep; Bill Bergman, seeking the treasurer's
spot; Pat Norton, pursuing a second Indepen-
dent Representative term; Mary Jo Trice,
setting her sights on a Junior Senator's
post; and Larry Wright squaring off against
Matt Brown for a seat in the Senate as Men's
Independent Representative.

Nominating petitions for the Senate posi-
tions are due at 4:30 tomorrow and must have
40 names for Senate seats or 80 if for an
executive position. Petitions for Judicial
positions require 25 signatures and are due
at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, March 29-.

Russ Kirkpatrick Set
For All-Campus Fling

by Jeff Daiell

Russ Kirkpatrick, singer, guitarist, and
composer, will be the main event of the semes-
ter's All-CamDus Weekend.

"Billy Jack," a movie depicting an embit-
tered Indian's struggle against The System,
will be the starting gun of the weekend's
festivities, showing in the SUB at 8 Friday
night (which, by the way, is when "Yeomen of
the Guard" begins its performance run at the
Playhouse) . The Kappa Sigs are having a par-
ty that day, too, and Haynes gym will see
the opening of the Southern Badminton Associ-
ation championships.

From 11 p.m. til 2 the next morning, Lin-
wood Skating Rink will be the site Qf an All -
Campus skating party, which Senate President
Rick Clark assures us will not be a rinky-
dink event.

Saturday is even more varied, with the
Badminton finals continuing in Haynes, the
Gent baseballers dueling with the Oklahoma
State nine at 1:30 on the Centenary diamond,
'Yeomen" continuing at 8 p.m. in MLP, and an
All -Campus Revue entertaining those in at-
tendance Saturday night at 8. The revue will
be immediately followed by Russ Kirkpatrick,
an ordained minister who has toured America
singing and strumming and composing his way
into many hearts and memories.

Sunday sees a faculty Recital starring
Kimberly Daniel, soprano, and Rafael de Acha
on the bass -baritone, in Hurley at 3 p.m.,
and then Lawrence Olivier 's magnificent film
portrayal of Hamlet comes to the music
building's auditorium Monday night at 8.

Two Choirs Booked

This is Centenary's month for music. To-
night the San Jacinto Junior College Choir
will perform, starting at 8 p.m., in the
Hurley Auditorium, and Fisk University's
choir is scheduled for a March 29 chapel.

The San Jacinto Choir is visiting the
campus Thursday and Friday, with Director
Bob Wham leading the 43-person ensemble.
Staying in James Annex Thursday night, this
choir will tour the Campus and Choir Loft
Friday, attending Choir rehearsal Friday.

The San Jacinto Choir is in the area to
handle singing engagements in parts of Tex-
as and Louisiana.

Led by Sam Batt Owens and accompanied by
F. Bernard Hunter, the international ly-
famous choir from Fisk University of Nash-
ville, Tennessee, will be presented in con-
cert in the Brown Memorial Chapel, Thursday,
March 29th at the 10:40 break.

Veterans of hundreds of concerts and
several national broadcasts, the Fisk Choir
this Spring has a portfolio ranging from
Renaissance to spirituals to modern.

Senate 1£efa»it Back to the Bottle

by Debby Detrow

The Senate met in the Sub on March 15.
It was announced that the poster machine had
arrived. The faculty, Greeks, or anyone else
can have signs made at a cost of $1.50 for
the first sign and 30* for each additional
sign.

The Student Life Committee has come up
with some rough recommendations which will
be sent to the Honor Court. The Business
and Economics Club petition was accepted and
will be passed on to the Student Life Com-
mittee.

Students will be receiving questionnaires
through campus mail in order for the Senate
to obtain some opinions on the subject of
the cheerleaders.

A proposal was passed to remove by-law
XIX, concerning the treasurer. Added were
the following: 1.) There will be one facul-
ty representative instead of two; 2.) The
Vice-President will be in charge of publici-
ty, will keep the official dockets for the
meetings, will be responsible for all office
work, and will assist the President in plan-
ning. Also, scholarships of $125. per semes-
ter will be awarded the President, Vice-Pres-
ident, and Treasurer, beginning with the fall
semester. Sally Word and Sandy Bogucki voted
against the proposal.

The practice of an employer forcing a wor-
ker to take overtime has become especially
prevalent during the current recession. It
is economically preferable to pay overtime
wages than to hire additional workers because
the employer has to provide fringe benefits,
such as social security and health insurance,
for every employee.

Involuntary overtime is due to be chal-
lenged, if not by union negotiating teams,
then by individual workers filing grievances
against employers and even E.E.O.C. complaints.

One such campaign is being waged against
the U.S. Postal Service by Julienne Pratt,
a Berkeley letter-carrier. She has been
suspended without pay for five days for re-
fusing to work overtime while nursing her
eieht month old baby.

Ms. Pratt was suspended from her job be-
cause each of the five doctors she'd consult-
ed, stated in letters to the postmaster that
they could not impose a weaning date on a
mother. As soon as Ms. Pratt does wean her
baby, she is subject to involuntary overtime
again.

The crux of the problem is that the post
office administration wants Julienne Pratt
and all employees, to take overtime at the'
convenience of the Post Office. In return
Is. Pratt has filed complaints with the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission and the
National Labor Relations Board. --AFS

TOE CONGLOMERATE

Sharp Conflict Marks
Scholarship Debate

by Jeff Daiell

At its last meeting, the Student Senate
voted to allocate, beginning next semester,
a stipend of $125 per semester to each of
the three officers of the Senate: President,
Vice-President, Treasurer (see Debbie De-
trow's "Senate Report"). The vote followed
the longest and sharpest debate of the Sen-
ate year to date.

According to Senate President Rick Clark,
the scholarships are nothing new, but are
merely a "reinstatement" of former grants
which apparently got lost in the shuffle of
writing new regulations for the body. Pre-
viously, he says, the SGA President had re-
ceived $175 a semester, and the other offi-
cers $150.

The money is not a cash gift, but rather
is credited to the officer's account with
the school, being transferred from the Stu-
dent Activities funds which students pay
each semester; specifically, the money is
part of the Student Senate budget.

Rick claims that nothing suffers by this
new allocation of monies, as there have been
carries -over of funds of late. He gave the
reasons £pr the dispensal as 1) that some
senators had asked about such a stipend, and
2) that it would serve as an incentive for
qualified students for the office who might
not otherwise be able to financially iustify
their assuming the job.

According to Tommy Guerin, Senate Treasur-
er and one of the majority that supported the
measure, the monetary disgorgement is not so
much payment as "a thank-you." By his calcu-
lations, a conscientious officer would be
receiving money at the rate of 85* an hour
for his work.

Two who opposed the measure were Senator
Sally Word and Vice-President Sandy Bogucki,
both seniors. Priinarily due to their oppo-
sition, the Senate debate continued for some
thirty to forty-five minutes. Treasurer
Guerin reports that tempers came close to
finding themselves dislocated.

Sandy lists her primary reason for oppo-
sition as an opinion that the student body
at large would oppose such a measure. Ad-
hering to the "deputy" theory of legislative
representation, Vice-President Bogucki thus
felt it would be unethical for her to vote
contrary to her perception of the wishes
held by her constituents. Also, she does
not consider the Senate to be that vital;
much Senate work, she told the CONGLOMERATE,
is duplicated by Steve Holt's office. Too,
she could not see voting herself money: "I
wouldn't have done it."

Ms. Word mentioned that "I've been on the
Senate 3 1/2 or 4 years... I have seen what
the office of President, Vice-President, and
Treasurer have required." While the Treasurer
over the last four years has consistently
been efficient and hardworking in a difficult
and time consuming job, Ms. Word has seen the
Constitution, and with it the duties of the
other executive positions, changed three

times. Often in those years, the President
has delegated work while the Vice-President
has had little official responsibility. She
stressed that her remarks are framed in a
four-year context, and should not be con-
strued as applying to this year in particular.
She does feel that the Treasurer "does deserve
something for his efforts" due to the great
deal of time and trouble involved.

Both Word and Bogucki felt the money in-
volved could be used for other purposes.

The Senate, Sally complained, refused to
allow the students to vote on this idea, and
even refused to seek their opinions. Both
were galled at the Senate's idea that the
average student, "too ignorant" of the Sen-
ate's work to have an educated opinion on
the matter, would be automatically and ig-
norantly negative toward the $125 grant.

Senator Word also pointed out that while
this year's officers have been efficient and
hardworking, it was unscientific to extra-
polate their performance and predict con-
tinued excellence in future holders of execu-
tive positions.

At times the debate got acrimonious. When
Ms. Bogucki asked President Clark his reasons
for supporting the measure, he declined to
reply, labelling the query "personal." San-
dy told the CONGLONERATE that the question
was meant to discover his philosophy, but
that Rick had misunderstood it to be demand-
ing to know his uses for the money. At one
point, Sally felt that Rick was taking too
great a part in the proceedings , an action
dictated against by parliamentary procedure,
and addressed presiding officer Clark on
this matter. According to Senator Word,
Clark felt this comment maliciously based.

There was also the question of whether
Vice-President Bogucki, charged with the
secretarial work of the Senate, was remiss
in fulfilling her responsibilities. Rick
told the CONGLOMERATE she had not completed
her duties. From Sandy's perspective, the
story was widely divergent. At the tune she
took office her duties had not yet been ful-
ly outlined, she said. Later they were
detailed, but she was not present', probably
due to class, she feels. When she discovered
she was in charge of the Senate's clerical
work, she admits, she should have resigned,
work of that nature not being among her natur-
al endowments of talent. Feeling she could
still be an effective representative of the
students, though, she remained, ihe issue,
however, she considers to have been rendered
academic by Clark's not assigning her to do
clerical work. She contends one such assign-
ment was made- -which Rick claijns she palmed
off on Steve Holt's secretary- -and no more.
Later, as CONGLOMERATE readers will know, the
Senate hired a secretary.

Despite all the acrimony and sharpness
lacing the scholarship imbroglio, the two
resisters of the measure insist their votes
were not personally motivated, a conclusion
Clark disputes. He contends that Ms. Bogucki 's
opposition and vote were part of a longer
and larger personal condition between the
two. Bogucki adnits the frequency of dis-
agreement, but continues to point to her
feeling of general student opposition to
such a stipend as her motivation for attempt-
ing to gainsay the dispensing of the funds.

Speeding Those Books

Interlibrary loan activity at the Cen-
tenary Library has shown a seven- fold in-
crease during the past four years. Several
factors have contributed to this increase:
The use of the TWX to replace the mails in
speeding interlibrary loan requests, the
availability of the resources and search
services of the Joint Universities Library
through the Southern Col lege -University
Union, the establishing of the Green Gold
Library System for Northwest Louisiana, and
the initiation of interlibrary loan service
for students who need special materials that
are not available at Centenary.

According to Library records, inter-
library loan requests from Centenary to
other libraries numbered 57 in 1969, 85 in

1970, 212 in 1971, and 370 in 1972. Dur-
ing the same period interlibrary lodn re-
quests to borrow materials from' Centenary
amounted to 39 in 1969, 81 in 1970, 138 in

1971, and 402 in 1972. These statistics
emphasize the growing importance of inter-
library cooperation in meeting the needs
of readers in all kinds of libraries. The
new Louisiana Numberical Register makes it
possible to determine which libraries in
Louisiana have a given book and hence where
it may be readily borrowed. The rapid
interlibrary delivery service provided by
the Green Gold Library System facilitates
the prompt exchange of library materials
among the Shreveport libraries. As a re-
sult Green Gold fills approximately 40 per
cent of the Centenary interlibrary loan
requests .

Editorial

WHO'S GOT THE POWER?

Warning: Reading this paper may be
hazardous to your perception of student
opinion .

According to a statement printed every
week, the CONGLOMERATE "is produced .by
students" whose views "do not necessarily
reflect the administrative policies of the
college." Is it true? Only with strong
qualifications .

The Communications Committee , which
choses newspaper and yearbook editors, is
appointed by the President of the College
and consists of one board member, one ad-
ministrator, two faculty members, and
the two editors (plus the radio station
manager once he is selected) . Because the
committee itself selects the editors and
other staffers , the student body has ab-
solutely no direct voice in choosing per-
sons to represent student views on the
CONGLOMERATE . All the students do is foot
the bill. Somehow, working under a dis-
tasteful committee system, we have managed
to maintain some independence , but can
make no promises for the future. — TLC

A BUNCH OF GARBAGE

Awakened by the lumbering roar of a gar-
bage truck on the street, I threw on some
clothes and went outside to pick up the morn-
ing paper. Almost immediately, I found my-
self staring at the garbage collector in my
driveway, for his face looked familiar and
yet I could not place him.

"Good morning," I said somewhat hoarsely,
"are you on this route?"

"Not exactly," he replied, as he finished
emptying the contents of my trash can into
the company bin. Setting it down on the
gravel, he continued to peer into the can
for several moments, preventing me from get-
ting a closer look at him. 'You only have
one can of garbage a week?" he suddenly asked.

"Yeah, that's right," I responded quickly,
hoping to get him to turn towards me. "Well,
sometimes we do have a little more, but then
we wait for you guys to come around to empty
the can before we take the rest out."

"I see," he remarked pensively, still
showing only that profile which so stirred
my curiosity. "And how many people live
here?"

"Two," I answered somewhat testily, not
liking to be questioned before my morning
coffee. "My roommate and me."

"That's not really enough garbage for two
affluent young adults," he declared rather
decisively, turning towards me as he spoke.
"Do you and your friend suffer from, shall
we say, a malady of insufficient funds?"

For a few moments I stared increduously ,
certain that I had seen that face before, but
unable to give it a name. The crooked nose,
the sunken eyes, the five o'clock shadow
hovering like a stormy cloud upon his swollen
cheeks, who was this garbage collector in my
driveway?

'Yeah, I answered his last question, "it's
really hard to find a decent job nowadays,
what with the economy being so bad and all."

"Ha ha," he laughed in a tone so false
but nonetheless derisive, "that's not true
at all. Why just last week my chief economic
advisers announced that the percentage of in-
crease in the cost of living had actually
decreased for the fourteenth month in a row.
And my Secretary of Labor announced that the
rate of unemployment had stabilized far be-
low the level it was at four years ago when
I took office, so you see..."

"N-N-Nixon? ! " I shrieked, screaming to be
heard over the din of the garbage truck in
the street.

Grinning broadly, he slowly turned a com-
plete circle, and sure enough, on the back
of his coveralls, sewed beneath the words
'Acme Scavenger Co', was a full-scale nylon
replica of the seal of the President of the
United States.

"Now let me give you some good advice, son"

he began in a fatherly tone, as I stood para-
lyzed in my amazement. "What you have got
to do is very simply to pull yourself up by
your bootstraps. An intelligent young man
could go far in this country- -and the oppor-
tunities for advancement have never been
greater- -but if you wait for the government
to do everything for you then you'll never
make it at all.

"That's why I'm out here collecting your
garbage, because I believe that any job for
any pay offers more dignity to a man than
all the welfare you could chisel at the fed-
eral, state, county, and municipal levels
respectively. And I have donned these cover-
alls in order to demonstrate to you that I
believe in the youth of America and in the
dignity of labor, and in the opportunity for
the one to prosper through the other."

He paused to acknowledge the shouts of
the men on the truck to hurry up or they'd
fall behind schedule.

"I know you're having trouble believing
all this," he continued, "it's quite a dif-
ferent picture of the President than you get
on your liberal news programs . But look
around you: there are no photographers, no
reporters, no cameramen, this isn't a publi-
city stunt. I came here today because I be-
lieve a man should practice what he preaches ,
and because I hope that pretty soon you'll
be pulling your own weight on the greatest
team in the world."

Without saying goodbye, he ran down the
driveway and scrambled onto the running board
of the garbage truck just as the driver was
hitting second gear. After they had disap-
peared from view, I returned inside my house,
made a fast cup of instant coffee, and quick-
ly decided never to go outside again. without
having had at least one transfusion of caf-
fein first.

From Page One

"a God that dances," Meredith meant riot a God
of authority and inhibition, but one of love
and freedom. "The God of the old culture,"
said Meredith, "danced out of fear. The new
God dances out of joy."

Startling statement #2: "I am my body"
CMarcel) . Meredith advocates a heightened
bodily awareness. Physical education depart-
ments, he claims, are what's happening in
the forefrong of the academic world. No
longer can we subscribe to the ancient split
between body and mind. It is a misconception,
says Meredith, that the body has no place in
the thinking process . We think with our
bodies .

Startling Statement #3: "Let us leave the
surface and, without leaving the world, plunge
into God" (Teilhard de Chardin) . Dr. Meredith
called this plunge into God a trip into inner
peace. He discussed Timothy Leary's use of
LSD as a vehicle for exploring this inner
peace. Meredith quoted Leary as saying that
the question is not whether or not to use
LSD, but what opens you up or closes you down.
Leary, he felt, was for freedom. Meredith
said that whereas LSD was the vehicle for
seeking inner peace in the 60 's, it has now'
been replaced by Jonathon Livingston Seagull .
Another way Meredith posed to leave the sur-
face without leaving the world is to re-ex-
amine the Christian story. Within this story
there is a hero figure with whom we can iden-
tify. The hero mentality, said Meredith, is
"the American thing."

Startling Statement 04: "Damn everything
but the circus" (e e cummings) . The mood of
the future is not merely the communal spirit,
but playing. Meredith defines the ability
to play as coming about early and late in
the maturation process. Children are cer-
tainly capable of playing, and the mature per-
son is also able to play. A very real mean-
ing of following our natural rhythms is the
ability to play. Our work must be play.
Meredith stated that if education is work it
can't possibly be education, and therefore
it can't possibly be human.

Dr. Meredith's lecture was certainly much
more than a dry, academic lecture on Chris-
tianity. His booming exuberance was infec-
tious, showing his roots in the East Texas
revivalists' style. His willingness to share
his ideas with us proved that he did more
than just preach sharing. His very special
care that we and he himself should reap some
benefit from his talk left most of the few
that attended Monday night's Forum with a
very special feeling for Dr. Lawrence Mere-

THE SELLING OF THE COLLEGE

by Mary Oakland

Centenary College is for sale. Not lite-
rally, but figuratively. Jack Hodges , flaurie
Wayne, and Grayson Watson are trying to sell
Centenary to the public. Why?

Jack Hodges, a Centenary alum and owner of
the advertising agency currently helping Cen-
tenary, explains that they need to "remind
and remind and remind people in Shreveport
that you have Centenary to thank that there's
a basketball game here tonight or a play this
weekend." Grayson Watson, Director of Deve-
lopment, adds that they want to "re- introduce
the college to the community."

In order to begin this "re -introduction"
that simultaneously works with the Great
Teachers Scholars Fund drive, Jack Hodges was
contacted approximately six months ago. In
a recent interview, Mr. Hodges explained the
advertising campaign. "So far, we've tried
to make steps toward coordinating the dif-
ferent departments of the college. Every
department was doing something different,
and each had no one to go to/ Maurie Wayne
was doing an excellent job, but it takes
more than press releases and news stories
to keep the school prominent."

He went on the say that they're really
not doing very many new things, just adver-
tising in a different way. The Great
Teachers Scholars Fund has been publicized
before, but not in an attempt to accent the
points the community is interested in about
the college.

For example, the television ads emphasize
Continuing Education, the teachers' program,
and the Pre-Med program. They show a supe-'
rior college that enables a student to get a
job when he gets out and offers a service to
the community more directly in the Continuing
Education program. The attempt is not to just
get money, but to improve the school's image
Mr. Wayne, Public Relations Director, added
that the effort is "to emphasize the diffe-
rence between a small liberal arts college
and a large university." These ads were'
also made so that after the campaign is over,
they can be changed slightly and carried
throughout the year.

One of the newer advertising methods em-
ployed has been the page on Centenary in two
issues of the Southwestern region (La., Tex-
as, Okla., Ark., and New Mexico) of Time.
The ad was an Admissions Department project ,
so includes a coupon for catalog or applica-
tion requests. To finance the ad, an alum
was approached with the idea. He liked it,
and donated $5,000 for the two pages above'
his normal contribution.

The results? After the first ad, there
were 36 or 37 replies. After the second ad,
there were 30 replies the first day. Mr.
Hodges explained that "one is a seller, and
one is a reminder. If there were more money
for another ad, there would probably be even
more responses."

"However," Mr. Wayne says, "that doesn't
mean your'e going to get that many students.
We have received three applications as a di-
rect result." There were a couple of interes-
ting coupons returned. One was from an
eighth-grade student and one, from a Metho-
dist minister.

Centenary and the Great Teachers Scholars
Fund are also being advertised in brochures,
radio, newspapers, billboards, and the Shreve
port Magazine . After the good response from
trie lime ad, a series of similar ads in metro-
politan papers in the South (including Dallas,
Houston, Little Rock, and New Orleans) is be-'
ing considered. The reason for this regional
advertising is that Centenary has, as Mr. Wat-
son described it, a "visibility problem.
While Centenary has a good reputation, not
enough people know about it."

Combining the Great Teachers Scholars Fund
campaign with the recruiting efforts of the
Admissions Department seems to be a good way
to "let people know about it." Nevertheless,
Mr. Watson has no illusion that the ads will'
sell Centenary. "Faculty and students have
to love it. Students will bring in more
students than advertising, ads are only tools
The most important thing is what happens in-
side the college. We've all got to do a lot
of the right things together."

THE PARADIGMS THEY ARE A-CHANGING

We all know that something is rotten in
America and the world, and that it just has
to change. But how? One of the more inter-
esting oroDosals to come along recently is
Willis Harman ! s prediction that parapsycho-
logy, by its challenge to the scientific and
social paradigms of our culture, will be a
major force in bringing about a new (and
better) society.

Willis Harman, who made this prediction
at a oaraDsychology conference at U.C. Berke-
ley recently, is the Director of the Center
for the Study of Social Policy at the Stan-
ford Research Institute and is also Profes-
sor of Engineering -Economic Systems at Stan-
ford University. Now, why would such an
established researcher go directly against
the Establishment? Answer: they are des-
perate.

But it's more complex than that. The so-
called "paradigm change" is already well be-
gun. (Thomas Kuhn in The Structure of Scien -
tific Revolutions , 196J, popularized the word
"paradigm" to mean "a pattern of perceiving,
valuing, and acting, associated with a par-
ticular view of man in the universe," so vou
might as well get used to it.)

To set on with my point, significant num-
bers of middle class DeoDle have had "the
psychedelic experience" and have had their
own Daradiems changed. Some of these psy-
cRedelicists have dropped out of the domi-
nant culture and have made an uneasy alliance
with the Dolitical leftists, who got their
Daradigms changed by reading (and further
changed by tear gas and billy clubs), and
the blacks, most of whom grew up with non-
establishment paradigms.

But the way to cope with change is to un-
derstand it. So the Establishment says,
"Who seems to be into altered states of con-
sciousness and has not linked up with the
Left 0 - -why, it's psychic researchers!" Yet
Yet the distinctions between Left and Right
are misleading. In fact, these distinctions
are part of a paradigm that is itself chang-
ing. What if ESP and psychokinesis (mind
over matter) and reincarnation are for real 0
The implications of parapsychology- are radi-
cal. Just listen to what (at least according
to Harman) is at issue.

The scientific paradigm that parapsycholo-
gy challenges assumes: 1. All knowledge
comes through the physical senses. 2. Quali-
ty reduces to quantity. 3. We can know only
about the objective, not the subjective.

4. Freedoir. is an illusion; determinism.

5. Consciousness is a passive side effect.

6. Memory is stored data. 7. Time is uni-
directional. 8. Mind cannot influence the
world without physical linkages. 9. Evolu-
tion takes place only through random muta-

tions. 10. There is no survival of the per-
sonality at death.

This paradigm is sometimes called "materi-
alism," and although Americans tend to give
lip sendee to religious transcendentalism,
it is the success of the materialist paradigm
that has given rise to the industrial state
with its own paradigm:

1. The dominant (and adequate) value is
acquisitive materialism.. 2. Efficiency is
achieved through subdivision of work into
meaningless small pieces, the machine method.
3. The economy can and should always grow-
"the bigger, the better." 4. Nature should
be controlled and exploited. 5. The search
for knowledge is to gain more control over
Nature. 6. The individual is the determiner
of the good; society is an aggregation of
individuals pursuing their own interests,
there being no overriding purpose (except
perhaps survival) .

There are items dear to the hearts of both
Rightists and Leftists in both or" these lists.
Yet I think it's clear that the psychedelic
viewpoint challenges every one of these
points. So Harman sees the parapsychological
paradigm as lined up to a large extent with
the insights of the psychedelic experience.
He said that L.S.D. was an important part of
his own oaradigm shift. And he cites Aldous
Huxley's The Perennial Philosophy as a de-
fining part of the emerging paradigm.

This is how Harman delineates that para-
digm:

1. Various states of consciousness are
legitimate; cosmic consciousness is possible.
There is a reality behind the phenomenal.

2. We suffer from cultural hypnosis (lit-
erally) , but it is possible to emerge from
this state into enlightenment.

3. The central motivation for the indivi-
dual will be the quest for enlightenment.

4. Human potentiality will be seen to be
limitless. Anything imaginable can be actual-
ized.

5. As a side-effect of enlightenment one
will have an attitude of acceptance and non-
attachment, and non-personal love for every-
thing.

6. A business organization (or any other)
will maintain its legitimacy only if its com-
munity is served. The self -fulfillment of
the employee is more important than profit-
making.

7. Everybody is entitled to a meaningful
social role.

8. Regulation is achieved only through a
sense of purpose.

Someone in the audience was very troubled
and asked, "Doesn't that sound like socialism?"
"Oh, no," said Harman, "socialism is centrist:
I want to keep open the possibility of insti-
tutions outside of government."

I asked him if there was not a conflict
between his paradigm's opposition to deter-
minism, and its opposition to individualism.
His answer was very interesting: "We live in
several dimensions at once; there is likely
to be determinism on one level, while there
is freedom for the individual on another
level ."

Perhaps the wave of the future is Transcen-
dental Socialism.

Gents Battle Central
In Doubleheader This

Missouri State
Afternoon Here

by Tom Marshall

"Play ball!"

That's what the ump's gonna say this af-
ternoon at 1:00 o'clock when the Gents take
the diamond against Central Missouri' State
in the first game of a doubleheader at the
baseball field behind the Gold Dome.

Later this week, on Saturday, the Gents
host Oklahoma State University of the base-
ball rich Big Eight Conference in a double-
header beginning at 1 p.m.

Centenary is 3-5 coming into today's
twin bill, after being 3-0 at one time. The
Gents won their season-opening doubleheader
from LeTourneau and then defeated Ouachita
Baptist in the first game of a doubleheader.
But since then, the Gents have been in a
tailspin, all five of their losses coming
consecutively.

Central Missouri, meanwhile, opened its
season only Tuesday against Southern State
(Ark.) College, so today's action will be
the second time out for the Fighting Mules.

Huskers Sweep
Pair from Gents

by Jim Crow

Centenary dipped below the .500 mark for
the first time this season when Nebraska came
to Shreveport and opened its season with a
7-2, 6-2 doubleheader baseball sweep of the
Gents here Tuesday afternoon.

The double loss left the Centenary season
record at 3-5 heading into a pair of games
today against Central Missouri State. The
Gents have been .500 or better since blitzing
a seas on -opening doubleheader from LeTourneau
on March 6. Tuesday's defeats, however, were
the fourth and fifth consecutive losses for
the Gents, who have been battling bad weather
in their attempts to iron out the early sea-
son wrinkles.

Centenary enjoyed its only lead of the
afternoon Tuesday when it scored a lone run
in the first inning of the opening contest.
Leadoff batter fiike Paulson was hit by the
first pitch served up by Nebraska's Ryan Ku-
rosaki. Paulson advanced to second on &
walk, took third on Kurosaki's wild pitch,
and scored when Dave Deets hit a fielder's
choice grounder to third.

FRESFMAN RIGHTHANDER JERRY PEYTON DISPLAYS PITCHING FORM

. . . set to hurl opener today against Mules
Centenary Head Coach Orvis Sigler will
start freshman righthander Jerry Peyton in HHIHH^H
the opening game against the Warrensburg,
Mo., team. Jerry, younger brother of junior
standout Perry Peyton, will be making his
second college start. Last week against
Southeast Missouri, Jerry was tagged for 11
hits, most in the early innings, in the
Gents' 9-3 loss to the Indians. In the la-
ter innings, however, the young righthander
showed flashes of his potential when he
mowed down 12 in a row save for one man who
reached base safely on an error.

In the second game, senior game, senior
righthander Tracy Knauss will take the
mound for Centenary. Knauss is 1-1, having

The Gents got their only other marker in
their last chance at the plate when pitcher
Dan Sparrow beat out an infield single and
later scored on catcher Don Birkelbach 's
single.

Sparrow was tagged with the loss, his
first of the season against two victories.
Five Centenary errors afield contributed to
the junior righthander's demise.

Birkelbach, Paulson, and Dave Olson, the
top three spots in the Gent batting order,
collected two hits apiece to account for six
of the eight Centenary base hits. Both of
Birkelbach's non-hits were long fly
balls that sent the Comhusker out-
fielders reeling to the fence.

In the second game, Nebraska
grabbed a 2-0 lead through 3 1/2
innings of play and appeared to be
coastin to a victory when the Gents
came alive in the sixth inning to
tie the score. The two runs came
when freshman shortstop Jerry Pey-
ton lashed a two -out single to
score Dave Olson and Dave Deets
from second and third.

But the seventh inning saw the
Gents fall back into shoddy field-
ing, turning in four errors that
led to four unearned Nebraska runs.

Centenary came back with a pair
of two-out singles by Paulson and
Birkelbach in its last chance at

have an overpowering fastball and a good

The Mules do not expect to be a power

most of every scoring opportunity. The top
hitter returning from last year is second
baseman Bob Tuttle, with a meager .259.

Parish Cited Again;
Voice of the Fan

R. P., A-A, AP, & NCAA

The honors keep corning in for Robert Pa-
rish.

This week he was named to another all-
America team, the second for the freshman
star. This week, it was Basketball Weekly ,
a highly respected basketball publication,
that honored Parish by naming him to its
second team A-A squad. The team is picked
by a special panel of professional scouts,
coaches, and other basketball people who
are in a position to be accurate judges of
basketball talent.

By selecting him to its second team,
Basketball Weekly is saying that, in the
opinion of its panel, Robert Parish is among
the ten best college basketball players in
the United States of America. That's some-
thing for an 18-year-old college freshman.

But while Parish was selected to that
select team, another team was published
where his name couldn't even be found in the
small print under "honorable mention."

That omissior prompted this letter to
• the Associated Press from a Centenary bas-
ketball fan:

Hie Associated Press
Sports Department
50 Rockefeller Plaza
New York, New York 10020

Gentlemen:

I am writing this letter to contest the
omission of one individual from your 1973
All -America basketball team, and reflect on
some interesting information about the poli-
cies of the National Collegiate Athletic
Association of which you might not be aware.
Hie ball player that I question your omission
of is Robert Parish of Centenary College, and
I feel that part two of my letter about the
NCAA will probably explain why your selection
committee left off this deserving young man.

For background information, Robert Parish
was the most sought after high school basket-
ball player in the country last year. After
considerable recruiting nationwide, he chose
to play for his hometown college, Centenary,
and immediately changed them from a mediocre
team to one that finished 19-8 this year and
were in contention for a post -season tourna-
ment berth. Mr. Parish averaged over 23
points per game and his 18 plus rebound ave-
rage was third in the country, although be-
cause of a questionable, and inconsistent,
NC^A policy, your selection committee was
probably unable to find out about him.
Nevertheless, some other groups and indi-
viduals were able to.

Others Found Out

The Sport ing News , in its All -America
selections chosen by professional general
managers and chief scouts, picked Mr. Parish
on its honorable mention team. Basketball
Weekly , a widelv read trade publication,
picked Mr. Parish to its second team. The
Utah Stars of the ABA selected Robert Parish
as their number one choice in the recent "se-
cret" draft. Are all of these people wrong
and your selection committee right?

Some of the individuals that Mr. Parish
played against this season, along with many
of their coaches, felt that he might be the
best freshman, and/or basketball player, thev
ever saw, including your "Big Red ^chine-
Golden Boy" Bill Walton, Karrem Abdul -Jabbar.
Wilt Chamberlain, and others. Dwight Jones,
a member of your team and former Olympic hero,
in an interview in the Dallas Tines-Herald ,
felt that Parish was the one ball pi aver that
had impressed him most in the past couple of
years .

To get to point two of this letter about
the policies of the NCAA, perhaps I need to
summarize the basic problems that brought Cen-
tenary under the wrath of this dogmatic body.
For violations of 1.6 admissions rule, the
NCAA contested that Robert Parish cand twelve

by Tom Marshall

other athletes for the last three years) was
recruited illegally and signed to a grant-in
aid scholarship and allowed to play varsity
basketball. The violation alleged was one of
a technical nature dealing with the college's
use of its school -wide conversion tables (the
same ones that were used for all students)
for athletes taking the ACT test instead of
the SAT test. Thus the NCAA placed Centenary
on "indefinite" probation for these 'Viola-
tions." Before the probation went into ef-
fect, the NCAA, meeting in Chicago, voted the
1.6 rule out of its existence. Nevertheless,
Centenary was still on probation for as much
as six years for a rule no longer in exist-
ence. This seemed to be the most severe pe-
nalty possible from the NCAA, short of com-
plete expulsion of all membership rights.

Shortly thereafter, Mr. Parish found him-
self removed from the national statistics
which he had appeared in all season long.
When questioned about this, the NCAA foot-
noted their release with the explanation
that schools on probation were not permitted
to be placed in the statistics lists, nor
were individuals participating on their
teams to be included in the stats. This
revengeful act was made with the full light
that Mr. David Thompson of North Carolina
State, a team on probation, and other play-
ers from this school, repeatedly appeared
in these national releases. Another case of
protection of the individual student -athletes
rights by that righteous organization the
NCAA?

A Case in Point

To bring further light as to why this cer-
tainly kept Mr. Parish from being found by
your selection committee, which by its very
nature must rely on these statistics to find
the best ball players, I present the case of
Mr. Elton Hayes of Lamar University. Having
seen Mr. Hayes play on several occasions
during his career (most likely more than any
of your selection committee) , I conclude that
the probable reason that he made your honor-
able-mention list was due to the fact that
he led the nation in field goal percentage
while taking a very small percentage of shots
and averaging a meager number of points per
game. While not taking away form his per-
formance, it is all too apparent to me that
he was "found" through the same channels that
were kept from Mr. Parish.

There is currently a court case involving
Centenary College and the NCAA over this en-
tire matter that will be heard the 4th of
April. But win or lose, the NCAA, which
would have so many people believe is the
total savior for the amateur athlete, and
the protector of all student- athletes of
.America, has asserted its dogmatic principles
without regard to who is hurt, how they are
hurt, or any measure of consistency. It is
about time that the people of the country
realize that this organization is only a
self -serving and perpetuating organization
interested only in how much their leaders
can reap in benefits.

I challenge you as a responsible, and
generally quite excellent, news gathering
organization to do two things. First, at-
tempt to better screen your selection com-
mittee for all All-America teams and pro-
vide them with all of the right information
possible so that they can male the best
decisions possible. Secondlv, I feel that
a thorough examination of the NCAA, its
leaders, committees, rules and regulations
would be quite revealing and would certain-
ly make interesting reading to the uninformed
sports public of the country.

Very truly yours,

The Devaluation
Roller-Coaster

By Bill Sokol/APS

The topsy-turvy world economy has flipped
out --each day's news is filled with reports
of wild speculation driving the price of
(*old ud and the dollar down. The first sal-
vos in a growing trade war between the U.S.,
Japan, and Western Europe have been fired:
quick devaluations, sudden moves to unload
unwanted dollars, declarations and counter-
declarations about raising and lowering na-
tional tariff barriers.

How does it all affect the American pub-
lic?

The consumer is getting hurt --badly.
President Nixon continues to blame the higher
food prices on insufficient farm production.
What he does not say is that his devaluation
has led directly to higher food prices. A
devalued dollar means American products cost
less to other countries; thus, every yen or
deutschmarke buys more American wheat, or
corn, or hogs. And as other countries buy
more American farm products because they are
priced lower by the devaluation, that means
fewer products for all of us to buy and there
fore higher prices.

The ones who profit from this are the
same huge agribusiness conglomerates that
gave so much money in Nixon's election cam-
paign. America's farms are now by and
large huge sprawling ranches run by urban -
centered corporations like Safeway, Inc., or
Tenneco. These giant companies that grow
tomatoes by the square mile and wheat by
the county make hefty profits when super-
market prices go up even a penny or two.

But it is not simply a question of higher
food prices. Since dollars are now worth
less abroad, more of them must be paid for
every foreign-made product, or every product
that uses foreign materials. The most ob-
viously hit imports are completely foreign-
produced items --about 1/4 of our oil now
comes from the Middle East; that means every-

and wine and. . .

What impact will devaluation have on the
American worker? Those workers most com-
pletely organized may be least affected.
Reports of a recent meeting between Nixon
and AFL-CIO President George Me any say Me any
agreed not to object too strenuously to
hipher food prices in return for wage in-
creases this year greater than the 5.51 maxi-
mum imposed by Phase 3 of the wage -price con-
trols.

Meany also pressed for higher tariff walls,
to make imports so costly that they will not
undersell AFL-CIO made products. If Congress
creates the tariff walls, Meany 's workers
will still have jobs, but prices will be sky-
high for everyone, including those workers.
And if the tariff walls are not instituted,
these workers may be out of jobs as multi-
national corporations build more factories
abroad to take advantage of cheaper labor.
And if Meany agreed. to wage increase ceilings
after all, then rank and file union members
will be caught in the crunch of higher prices
and lower real wages unless they rebel against
their leaders.

Workers less organized will be hit more
sharply. They will pay the same rising prices
as everyone else while their wages remain the
same, or even go down to make the products
they create more competitive with foreign
goods made with cheaper labor.

The unemployed will be among the most
sharply affected. As prices go up the un-
employment payments or food stamps or welfare
they now receive will not go up proportionally,
and may even drop. Nixon continues to cut
back on federal spending on social welfare
programs enough to offset his increases in
defense spending and other non-social spending.

For students, devaluation means higher
prices for all their necessities along with
cutbacks in federal government funds for
scholarships, student loans, research pro-
jects, and equal opportunity programs.

Just as higher food prices mean greater
profits for agribusiness conglomerates, so
the devaluation is a healing shot in the cor-
porate arm for the nation's largest multi-
national corporations and financial institu-
tions. Although in long range terms, even

It la a aid among the wise that all good things must mad. So it warn with Cobb 'a Barbecue,

which added a touch of the spectacular to All-Campus Weekend by burning to a great degree.

the largest American corporations will be
battered by Japanese and Western European
competitors, the immediate effect of the de-
valuation has been higher profits.

Because the multinationals have branches
everywhere, they deal in several currencies,
and can juggle them to take advantage of
small changes in currency values. These
multinationals, along with Middle Eastern
oil sheiks and rich speculators, unloaded
hundreds of millions of dollars just before
the devaluation so they would not be caught
with the devalued dollars. And now the lower
priced dollar makes their American-made pro-
ducts more competitive on the world market.

Theoretically, if you believe that greater
profits 'trickle down' to workers, then all
will benefit from these increased sales. But
if, as has been the case of late, these extra
profits are invested in factories abroad
where labor is cheaper and taxes are lower,
then the greater profits will not be passed
on to American workers and consumers at all.

America's largest banks, like Chase Man-
hattan and Bank of America, are not being
left behind in the rush to greater profits.
They, too, speculated to great advantage in
the devaluation. And they often loan funds
to the great multinationals to make invest-
ment abroad possible.

Under present conditions, banks and multi-
nationals will continue to see that their
interests are served. Organized labor may
offset some of business 's gains by 'quid
pro quo' deals like those Meany and Nixon
just made.

If you are one of the unorganized, your
situation is complex: you will be slammed

by higher prices, fewer jobs, and less pros-
pects for upward mobility as the U.S. in-
creasingly becomes just one more competitor
in an international trade war. But your
choices are simple: stay where you are and
hang on tight for the roller coaster down-
hill just ahead, or begin to organize to
be heard.

Do You Know the Way
to Monterrey?

Monterrey Tec, more formally the
Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios
Superiores de Monterrey, announces its
26th International Summer Session.

The session, open to Centenary
students, runs six weeks, from July 1st
to August 10th. Many courses, ranging from
Mexican Folklore to Advanced Tropical
Botany to Phonetics of the Spanish Language,
will be offered- -and those with Centenary
equivalents will be trans f err able.

The total cost is $435.00 per student.
According to Dr.Rainey, who is available
to dispense additional information, the more
students who apply the better, with an
especial goal of at least a dozen. It
might be possible, she noted, for an exhange
program to be established, which she felt
would be mutually advantageous.

Monterrey Tec is a private institution
founded in 1943, with a library of over
100,000 volumes, and is accredited by the
Southern Association of Colleges and Universi-
ties, of which Centenary is a member.

THE CONGLOMERATE

GREAT ISSUES

Page Three

The Death of a Course

Great Issues is dead.

It passed away Monday, March 26th, 1973,
while struggling valiantly for a few more
controversial years of life. Whether it will
have an heir, and what that heir shall be,
are currently unknown.

Great Issues, of course, is General
Education 402, a course required of every
senior before graduation is permitted. It
deals, as the name would seem to imply, with
the great issues of the day, this semester
dealing with conformity, homosexuality, civil
liberties, individualism. It has long been
a source of sharp and at times bitter
debate among students and faculty.

That debate culminated Monday. A report
from the Educational Policy Committee ( a
copy of which Dean Marsh has refused the
CONGLOMERATE) recommended that the course be
phased out, its last offering being Spring of
1975, so that all current students will be
processed through it. A motion by Dr.Earle
Labor, of the English department, accelerating
the course's demise, and making this semester
its final walk to the starting gate (prompted
by the wealth of negative criticism fusilladed
against the course) was accepted by what
Dr. Gallagher, acting as Secretary to the
meeting, described as a large majority in a
voice vote.

As part of its total recommendation
concerning Great Issues, the Educational
Policy Committee also urged that a freshman
course, to be offered during the Interim and
entitled General Education 1-99, Issues and
Ideas, commence during Interim 1974 and be
required of freshmen. Again, it was Dr. Labor
who spoke up, picturing the proposed course
as contrary to the concept of Interim, which
was designed to be a time of special, exciting,
unique courses. Apparently, tne majority
concurred; the proposal was defeated, likely
due to that drawback. It is Dr .Gallagher 's
speculation that the Committee will revise
its Issues and Ideas recommendation. This
vote too, was by voice vote, and the majority
was likewise large.

In other areas, the Faculty also spent
much discussion over the question of course
credits as opposed to credit hours. This was
prompted by proposals to grant certain science
courses 1 and one half course credit status,
a concept which apparently would have the
inhabitants of the Registrar's Office tearing
the hair from their respective heads in
frustration and exasperation. The motion was
tabled. There will be study of the relative
merits of course credits and credit hours,
although there seemed to be agreement favoring
the old hour system.

There were several changes in curriculum
proposed, with most accepted. Students should

by Jeff Daiell

consult their advisors with regard to
those courses. One interesting side-light
comes from the Theater/Speech Department.
The Department's request to make a theater
lab course (no credit) required for majors
was altered by the Faculty; the course is
not required. Tuesday morning, however.
Mr. Holloway of the department informed
Department Chairman Mr.Buseick that Mr.
Holloway 's advisees would find the lab
"required" nonetheless. Mr.Buseick
replied that the Chairman would follow
the same procedure.

There was tabled a motion to allow
departments to require as many as 15
courses in that department for majors, with
the stipulation that the total number of
designated courses (maior plus supportive)
not exceed 20.

Apparently, while conscription has passed
away, the professional student has not. The

which to graduate Centenary.

After making changes in the procedure

for speed and efficiency, the Faculty heard

The Course of the College

Can we bring about more progressive
education at Centenary?

This and other questions arose at a
meeting of faculty and students last Friday
afternoon in Mickle Hall. Titled "Operation:
Brainstorm", the meeting was arranged through
a group of students whose feelings were
aroused by Forums speaker Dr. Lawrence Meredith,
who touched upon some progressive academic
innovations employed by the school in which
he teaches .

Unfortunately the meeting set off
tempers between some of the faculty and
students who attended. Apparently some of 1
the students' questions were misinterpreted
by the faculty as being haughty and "Know-
it-all"ish when the students intended the ■
inquiries to be merely informative in order
to know better and understand their own
position.

Among the questions that arose were
those concerning grading, methods of faculty
hiring and firing, Great Issues, a pass/no
credit grading system, English 101, and
"Centenary is not for everybody". There
was much semi -successful interplay in the
conversations, despite some the "heated"
debate. There will be another meeting of
the same type this Friday, March 30, at
James Lobby, 2:00 p.m. The group will
discuss the grading system. The meeting is
open and any interested student or faculty
member can attend.

attended by over fifty persons, discussing'
the general academic atmosphere here at Cen-
tenary.

After pilferage of candy bars and vandal-
ism of vending machines, the ultimate mis-
deed has been perpetrated. According to
caf boss Doc Williams, the Cline Dorm cigar-
ette machine was removed from the Cline lob-
by and transported to that dorm's basement,
which process ruined a $300 machine and $100
worth of cigarettes. Best Vendors is re-
moving their machines from Cline, and Coke
is following suit. Police feel the caper
was performed by ameteurs, having found 2
superb sets of fingerprints. It is (so
far) doubted the Mafia was involved.

The Senate held a meeting in the SUB on
Tuesday, March 27.

At the faculty meeting Monday, Great Issues
was abolished. A proposal to replace it with
a new Interim course for freshmen was rejected.

The Miss Centenary pageant has been can-
celled. An alternate plan of choosing a
Miss Centenary was explained by Joe Allain.
This plan would use a Selection Committee.
After much discussion, the motion was passed
to forget about Miss Centenary for this year.
Jeff Hendricks made a motion to have a Mr.
Centenary Pageant. It was passed, but it
was tabled.

Taylor Caffery talked about the meat boy-
cott. He said that if Centenary students
boycotted meat products in the cafeteria
from April 1 through April 8, it would be at
least a "token" gesture. Students who wish
to participate may sign a list which will
be placed in the cafeteria where ID numbers
are taken. The senators unaminously backed
the boycott.

The Senate passed a motion to sponsor a
youth to a Denver YMCA camp.

Mary Jane Peace is looking into a campus
clean-up project.

THE MEAT BOYCOTT

With little or no campus publicity for the
movement, over one hundred Centenary students
have agreed to participate in the national
boycott of meat (April 1-8) to register a
protest against rising meat prices.

The CONGLOMERATE editor and Student Se-
nate President Rick Clark spearheaded the
campus effort after talking to cafeteria
manager E.J. Williams, who promised to 1)
cut meat purchases for the week in relation
to the number of students signing the boy-
cott petition (located at the head of the
cafeteria serving line) and 2) offer sub-
stitute quantities of chicken, turkey, fish,
eggs, cottage cheese, etc.

We hope that students at LSU-S, Southern-
Shreveport, and area high schools will ini-
tiate similar boycotts on their own cam-
puses, because students organized to slash
their school's meat purchases can help low-
er demand (thereby at least temporarily low-
ering price) with much more immediate effect
than is possible through unorganized, indi-
vidual consumer action.

If the boycott succeeds in halting the up-
ward march of meat prices, school cafeter-
ias should find fewer problems involved with
buying better quality food.

The Centenary Student Senate unanimously
voted Tuesday to support the meat boycott.
All students, faculty members, and adminis-
trators are urged to back reasonable meat
prices by signing the list in the cafeteria.

DO IT YOURSELF

Last week's editorial describing the un-
fortunate position of our "student" publi-
cations under the faculty/adrnird^tration/
board-dominated G3imunications Committee
evoked a rousing "ho-hum" from the reader-
ship.

Why? As long as things seem to be going
well, who cares whether the paper answers to
the students, the faculty, the board, the
Pope, George D'Artois, or Larry Wright?

To anyone who is concerned about the
ultimate seat of publication responsibility:
let's work on it. Maybe start an ad hoc
committee. Please contact me. — TLC

WEEKLY
MAIL

CREAM PIE FETISH

Editor's Note: The following letter ap-
peared in The Daily Reveill e (LSU-BR) last
Fri day .

To the Editor:

During spring break I visited for one week
with friends at Centenary College in Shreve-
nort. Since they are residents of the dorms,
I took my meals with them in the college ca-
feteria. I was quite impressed by the qua-
lity of the service in that cafeteria.

For one dollar a meal, I could eat all I
wanted of whatever I wanted. One can have,
if he wishes seven desserts or five salads'
or seconds, thirds, or fourths of an entree.
A person with a cream pie fetish can go bana-
nas in the stuff if he so desires. In the
mornings, one could have with his breakfast
an unlimited supDly of orange juice (that f s
juice, not diink). Lunch and dinner beve-
rages included white, skim, and chocolate
milk, hot tea or cold, carbonated drinks
(Coke, 7-Up, or root beer) or fruit drinks.

If one is leaving early to go home on
Friday and cannot have his meal in the caf ,
or if he simply wants to eat outside or in'
his room, the cafeteria employees will pre-
pare at his request a "to go" lunch of sand-
wiches .

The cafeteria even goes so far as to put
large jars of peanut butter and jelly on the
tables for those hard- to -pi ease souls who
cannot find anything thay like at a given
meal . &

It seems to me that the food service peo-
ple at Centenary have taken account of the
fact that student cafeterias exist (or should
exist) to serve students. This seems not to
be the case at LSU. After having, thirty
minutes ago, paid $1.38 for one ham sandwich
and a salad, I am, at the moment, wondering
just what is the purpose of LSU's food ser-
vice system. If the Food Service employees
know, they certainly aren't letting on.

If we're going to have a cafeteria system
at all, why can't it be a good one.

Yours very truly,
Wayne Harp

ESCAPE FROM PRISON

Jack 'n the Bush would like to be
more personal this week and describe a
true experience we had as prisoners of
war in a remote village somewhere in the
war zone.

Our prison was a model prison, better
than most because it was small and fairly
liberal (as liberal as "Commie" camps
can be) . We knew we were fortumate to
be m a "high class" prison, but nobody
really wants to be in jail. We were lone-
some, tired, and wanted out.

One Friday, about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, we planned an escape. The
Commandant was not in his second- floor
office, as was usual. Once in a great
while we would see him looking out of
his great, glass picture window, eyeing
the spring gardens enclosed by the brick
wall It was raining and the Commandant
didn t really matter. Our plan was to
call a special meeting of all the interest-
ed prisoners and off-duty guards and
complain about how poorly we were being
treated. According to : the Geneva Con-
ventions, we were guaranteed certain
rights, rights that didn't really matter
but made us feel good when we complained.
Ihe food was bad and they knew it. the
craft classes (which were supposed to be
constructive) never did anything. We
were never forced to go to class (remem-
ber, we were liberal) but we usually went
anyway. One guard, who thought he was
a professor, used to take off his gun in
class so he could shoot us down with
grades .

During the meeting, when tempers
flared, the Jack 'n the Bush duo snuck
out the side door. We planned on letting the
guards think the whole camp was sincerely
interested in getting better food, better
guards, and better classes- -where
prisoners are motivated without guns--
but all we really wanted was to sneak away
(smart, huh?). In our hearts we knew
that change in prison takes a change in
attitudes of guards, prisoners, and
commandant, all at the same time. It
would have taken an Ebeneezer Scrooge
dream on prison reform for all three
parties to understand what a real
"model prison" should be. Changing a few
rules without changing the whole outlook
and purpose of prison was useless. Our
goal was to set up a structure so
broad and flexible that it would "open
the doors" to individual freedom.

Well, we were sneaking along the
outside of the building when a great
shout came from within. Our reflex action
was to crouch down underneath the open
window of the meeting room. Inside the
rigid bureaucratic structure of teaching
methods was being attacked.

'This is real teaching, for teaching
is guiding, challenging, and stimulating
students to purposeful activity." P 133

of the Dailey Planet will be available through
local businesses and street sellers.

The Dailey Planet looks to be more than
just a newspaper. IT"" it lives up to its
expectations, it will be a sounding ground
for young Shreveportians - -a sort of idea-
exchange market encompassing not only the
news scene but also the cultural and social
outlooks of today.

New Shreveport Paper
Planned for April 2

by Lark Adams

"What we are trying to do now is to
make you the public aware of our intent,
concern, and to urge your participation."
So the Dailey Planet (their spelling) came
into be ing . Co - owne rs Steve Shepard and
Jon Voorhies felt that there was a
definite need in Shreveport for a form of
positive expression for young people
between the ages of 15 and 25. The Dailey
Planet is their answer to this need.

It all started on February 5th
when Jon, who has previously been associ-
ated with other newspapers , sat down with
Lisa Brown and Steve and decided what they
wanted and just what the public would
respond to. It was Lisa who suggested the
name. . Some of you comic book fans may
remember that the Daily Planet was the name
of Superman's -Clark Kent's newspaper
which will be recalled in the first issue
in the form of a satire on Superman taken
from Playboy .

When asked about the nature of the
Dailey Planet , Steve Shepard commented,
"I shy away from the underground." This
is to be a youth oriented paper with a
focus on events and topics of current
interest not only on the local scene
but also on the national level with
both the pros and cons of issues being
presented. Also included in its format
will be photographs, drawings, poetry,
record reviews, interviews, and classified
ads. The classified ads (which, incidentally,
will include a Musician's Classified) for
contact information will be free. Anyone
is invited to submit material for publication
(the deadline is a week before the paper
hits the street). The size of the paper
will be largely dependent upon the amount
of material submitted each time.

Working at 620 Prospect, the staff,
headed by Steve and Jon, consists of three
sections. In the primary section, Larry
Miller is handling ad sales and Lisa Miller
is taking care of the books. The secondary
section- -presently , Debbie Lammons, Pat
McCoy, and John Lindsey--is made up of
reporters, photographers, and distributors.
The third level includes the street sellers.
The paper is funded solely by ad sales, staff
donations, and donations from the general
public.

At first, the Dailey Planet will be a
monthly paper (coming out the beginning of
each month) but hopes are for it to eventually
progress to a weekly- The first issue should
fee out on the streets by April 2nd with an
expected circulation of 5,000 right off
and a passing through of 15,000 hands in a
month's time. The cost will be twenty-five
cents an issue. Subscriptions are available
and there is a special three month introduc*
tion subscription offer of a dollar. Copies

Realspeak

It was in the third year of the
Clifford Administration that the vision
came unto Gerald Clifford, President of
these United States.

It was a man clothed all in
white, and verily he said unto Gerald
Clifford, President of these United
States, "Gerald Clifford, President of
these United States , I bring you a new
commandment. From this day forth shall
you and your Administration strike
down from the high places the false
images you have erected; from this day
forth, Gerald Clifford, President of
these United States, shall you call a
dog a dog and a cat a cat ; nevermore
shall you call a dog a postal harassment
bio-organism. So it is written; so
shall it be."

And when he awoke was Gerald Clifford,
President of these United States, sore
afraid. "Never," he pondered in his
heart, "has such been done, nay not
even among the Medes and Persians."
For long times he contemplated, and
then, his heart heavy, he gave the
orders to his subordinates and the
word went out.

"We are trying out," said the
secret memorandum from The Oval
Office, "a new policy decided upon
by some real Higher-Ups. I call it
Realspeak. That is, no more euphemisms.
No more covering -ups of meanings
Kith fanciness. From now on, a kiss
is still a kiss, a guy is just a guy,
and somebody get this Bogart fanatic
off my secretarial staff."

And so, throughout the elephantine
and far-flung reaches of the bureaucracy,
great expense was undertaken in new
signs and seals and letterheads. The
Selective Service System became the
Adninistration for the Kidnapping and
Holding in Bondage of Young Men; the
Internal Revenue Service was renamed »
the Income Theft Bureau; the Customs
Bureau received the new title Agency
for the Collection of Tribute from
Foreign Manufacturers , and the
Department of Health, Education, and
Welfare was merged with the Department
of Housing and Urban Development, with
the combined agency called the Depart-
ment for the Care and Feeding of
Potential Voters for the Incumbent's
Party.

As the flood of Realspeak spread,
there were other changes, of course;
the Federal Reserve Board and the
Treasury- became the Bureau for the
Bungling of the Economy, the Depart-
ment of Justice was known as the
Political Nonconformists Harrassment
Administration, the Department of
Agriculture was renamed the Bureau
for the Support of Wealthy Farmers,
and the Postal Service was titled
The United States Laughing -Stock.
But few noticed these later changes;
the shock from the first few obscured

the rest.

It is estimated that in the
first seven weeks of the new policy
of Realspeak, sixty -two thousand
Americans committed suicide and three
times that many sought psychiatric
help; The National Association of
Professional Psychiatrists, Psychol-
ogists and Psychoanalysts attributed
this phenomenon to "unacceptable
disillusion, similar to the
melancholy of a child told there is no
Santa Claus".

Had those been the only results ,
the Clifford Administration might ' »
have felt content with the Realspeak
policy. Unfortunately for Gerald
Clifford, President of these United
States, and his Administration, the
effects were far more profound.

Across the land, first a few,
then dozens, then hundreds, then
thousands, of Americans abruptly or
gradually awoke to the meaning of
the new names . -And they became
upset. Policies they had been willing
to tolerate under the old euphemistic
names suddenly became insufferable.
The draft, formerly considered as
American as pizza pie, started seeming
dirty and criminal; strangely, these
citizens no longer recognized a
distinction between government kid-
napping and kidnapping by an individual .
The income tax, which so many had
considered a moral obligation, became
acquiescence to pilferage. Tariffs,
which had been considered fair and
fitting and proper, now conjured up
images of the Barbary Pirates.

Had the other major Party been
geared to anything approaching these
people's new way of mind, perhaps
things could have been handled more
peacefuUy; However, the other major
Party was as deeply, if not more
deeply, committed to the prevalent
politics as was the Party of Gerald
Clifford, President of these United
States. With no electoral means of
expressing their sentiments, those few
thousands who had comprehended the
meaning(s) of Realspeak quickly
armed themselves and launched a
virtually spontaneous revolt.

The police were helpless to
handle the situation, being engaged
in repainting the sides of their
cars --local governments having
followed the lead of Gerald Clifford,
President of these United States --
to read "Hippie Harrasser Department",
The National Guard was caught immobilized,
changing their doors to read "Legal
Way to Escape Being kidnapped and Held
In Bondage Full-time by Surrendering
and Being Held in Bondage Part-time".
As the revolt grew in dimensions and
intensity, Gerald Clifford, President
of these United States, franticly
called for the Army, but to no avail.
The Army was busy contracting for
35,000 billboards that said 'Today's
President's Personal Toy Consisting
of Some One Million Automatons Who
Go Traipsing Off to Strange Places
Because There's No Where Else to Go
To Get Killed and Horribly Maimed
Although When It's Over Nobody Knows
Why Wants to Con You Into Enlisting".
Anybody could tell ordering that
would keep you busy for a while.

So the revolt succeeded. The
Administration of Gerald Clifford,
President of these United States, was
sent home, amnesty having been granted
for all the stealing of incomes and
enslavement of young men and exaction
of tribute and the like.

The new government abolished all
the old agencies, keeping only a small
group of men to man the defenses
against foreign enemies, and a few to
prevent or punish crime, and all was
well with America.

Until one day a subordinate official
came unto the new President and said,
"Let us replace Realspeak with a new
language. I call it Governmentese , and
it will allow us to conceal evil deeds
by calling them by innocent -sounding
names . "

He was suspended immediately, and
ordered to spend six months listening
to tapes of John Kenneth Galbraith
calling himself an economist.

ty in and fair reporting of government acti-
vities are easier to start at the college le-
vel instead of nationally.

Centenary has gone through this same mood.
We hated the government when everybody else
hated the government, and we were apathetic
when! everybody else was apathetic. Now we're
ready to come out of it. We're noticing
what our student government is doing and
what it's not doing. Even though all the Se-
nate can do is allocate funds, people aren't
blindly accepting reports that "$1.00 out of
every student's activity fee is going to Open
Ear" and that the "Senate voted to spend over
$800 on a poster machine." Everyone can't
be pleased with what is going on, but they
can react. As far as I'm concerned, any re-
action is a good one. It means that students
are doing what they're her to do... think.

However, when the reaction is slanted
much too negatively, it means that the stu-
dents are not being represented fairly. I
would like to have the job of interpreting
campus moods and following them up with
Senate actions. If you agree with me and
believe that I can keep you informed about
what is going on in the Senate, let me know
by your vote on Election nay, April 2.

that as Centenary stands now, someone needs

to give it a big kick in the posterior. This

can only be done if the students elect sena-
tors who will do something to shake this
school off its apathy. I think I'm one of
those people.

I can give all kind of credentials from
hiv^h school, but not that much from Cente-
nary.

I haven't been that involved except working
for the paper which I think all freshmen do
when they first come here. I guess the most
active thing I've done is help give birth to
the Sexton Sots. We've got an organization
that doesn't depend on anyone or anything
but outselves. I think this is a good re-
commendation. If I can handle the Sots, I
can handle the Senate.

RICK CLARK FOR PRESIDENT

I feel that experience is the best teacher.
I am the first student to have an opportunity
to preside over the Senate for two years.
The experience and "know how" I gained in the
first term will enable me to keep the conti-
nuity going for a second term. There will be
no "breaking in" period,

My platform that I stand fully behind, is
a college for students. If a large number of
students do not like a policy, then we can
work together to change it. Many students
sit around and get upset over issues. This
is not necessary if "reform" is sought after
in the right way. The Senate, through the
president, is the only way students can
start an effective change procedure. I will
help all students get what they want, if
possible.

Your vote for me will assure my concerted
effort in the following:

(1) greater coordination between the Se-
nate and the Greek Councils (Panhel-
lenic and IFC) and possible dual spon-
sorship of some events

(2) a new kind of entertainment , sponsored
by the Senate. For example, maybe a
"boatday" on Cross Lake

(3) the limiting of coffee houses from 3
to 1 per semester

(4) more work with big nane groups

My election for a second term will also
bring about changes in the structure of the
Senate. Instead of being a doer, I am going
to be a coordinator. Each class's Senators
will be in charge of Senate function, such
as All -Campus Weekend, Homecoming, etc. All
of our entertainment will be planned out well
in advance. Suggestions will be submitted
from the students.

If you like the "things" that have been
taking place the last year- -I would appreciate
your vote I

CINDY YEAST FOR VICE-PRESIDENT

As I write an elections platform for the
third time at Centenary, I find it no easier
than the first. How do I tell you why I
want to run for my third year in Senate?
Somehow writing my reasoning on paper just
doesn't seem to adequately communicate my
feelings. Nevertheless, I will attempt to
tell you why you should give me another year
to work for you.

I first ran for Freshman Senator, and I
m now running for Vice-President of Senate.
The learning process I have undergone from
Freshman Senator to Sophomore Senator to
present has enabled me to understand the
purpose of Senate, to know its powers and
limitations, and to see where it fits into
the Centenary jig-saw puizle, I feel that
that I have done my best to fulfill my Senate
positions and responsibilities, and if I have

not, no one has vet brought it to my attention

I can honestly say that I have given much
thought to running for Vice-President, and I
understand the responsibilities of the office.
I made my decision on the hopes of greater
involvement and more responsibility. I have
also seen that being a part of Senate leads
to other opportunities to work for the bet-
terment of Centenary, and I hope to continue
these responsibilities along with those of
the Senate.

I can only promise you what 1, have pro-
mised in the past, and this is that I will
do my best to represent the student body of
Centenary. I do not feel that my personal
life style has influenced my work or will
ever influence it. And I can only hope that
if so, I will be criticized and corrected.
I want to be Vice-President of your Senate,
and I would appreciate your vote of support.

KAREN SCHMIT
Dear Students,

Perhans the most important issue the Senate
will have to deal with is the budget for the
Fall of 1973 and the Spring of 1974. flany
complaints have arisen as to the way to spend
the money. Since the students have given the
money, I will support all proposals that are
most beneficial to the students. Forums,
coffee-houses, concerts, and even service or-
ganizations such as Open Ear all benefit the
students in different ways. Also, I intend
to support the DroDosal for the radio station
on the Centenary camDus. Furthermore, I will
try, as has been tried in the past, to im-
prove the quality of the cafeteria food.
Lastly, I feel the students should be better
informed about the actions that the Senate
performs. With these ideas and issues in
mind, I would appreciate your vote for Senior
Senator.

Thank you very much,
Karen Schmit

BILL BEROttW FOR TREASURER

A comment made to me one night in a dis-
cussion about student government at Centenary
was that , "The only people who care what the
Senate does are the people in the Senate."
This seems to be true. Since I am running
unopposed, there is little need for me to
list my qualifications for being treasurer.
However, I am experienced in the student
government and qualified to be treasurer,
will work, and I will care that the 55 dol-
lars you each give a semester is spent to
your satisfaction.

GLEN L. WILLIAMS I I ^Senior Senator

The position of Senior Senator is held for
one year, during which time there are certain
policies that should be reviewed, examined,
and carried out for you, the student at Cen-
tenary College.

Since my arrival as a freshman in the fall
of 1970, I have observed the steady growth of
student apathv on the campus. This apathy
can be seen through the lack of support at
school activities, such as Forums, intramural
sports, student elections, and many others.
It seems no one wants to get involved or be
a part of the forces that are trying to im-
prove the college. Apathetic conditions can
also be a main reason for the increasing
amount of disciplinary problems and the ob-
vious steady growth of students leaving Cen-
tenary after one semester or one year. What
causes these apathetic conditions?

I believe that student apathy has been
caused by the lack of communication between
the student, the student government, the fa-
culty, and the administration. These lines
have been closed too long and it is now time
to open them up. If elected to the position
of Senior Senator, I will diligently strive
to begin new policies that will open closed
lines of communication. It is my intention
to be open minded in all areas of campus life
and will give fair consideration to those I
hope to serve. Remember, the student gov-
vernment is an extension
ernment is an extension of the student body
and can be both an active and effective gov-
ernment, but which requires the support of
the student body. With this support both
you, the student, and the college will grow.
Salifications: Jr. -Sr. Day Committee;
Dorm Council; Elections Committee;
Business and Economics Club; Inter-
fraternity Council, Vice President;
Taj Kappa Epsilon Fraternity, Trea-
surer.
GPA: 2.41

I have both the time and the desire to
make the office of Junior representative to
the Student Senate a significant one on be-
half of the students of Centenary College.
My o ledge to you is to find out what you
want and to work with all my diligence and
ability to accomplish these purposes.

Already we all know that many complain
that the Student Senate is not a working
body. Whether or not this is true, I want
to aid the incoming Student Senate in being
a meaningful and effective factor in student
life. It would be my further intention to
help devise means of better communication
with the administration for the purpose of
securing their understanding and support of
majority student desires. But, before I can
work for you, you need to vote for me!

A wise man once said, "When all is said
and done, more is said than done." I'd like
a chance to make doing more than saying.

LINDA TROTT

During my two years at Centenary, I have

known students with good potential transfer
from Centenary to other schools. At present
this is one of the biggest problems encoun-
tering the ackninistration and the students.
I feel that everyone is somewhat concerned
about the decline of student enrollment. I
contend that the student Senate by organizing
social functions, encouraging better academic
programs, and involving other students who
are not members of the Senate, can help elim-
inate this problem.

Too many students have become apathetic
fo r th ey feel that their student Senate has
accomplished nothing"! T can not promise to
change this feeling of apathy into one of
involvement, however, I do promise to try
my best with your help.

THE CONGLOMERATE

March 29, 1973

by Mary Oakland

LADIES OF THE PROPS

Wednesday, March 21, was New Year's
Day for the Baha'is. Nobody drunkenly
sang "Auld Lang Syne, M and nobody blew
whistles or wore pointed, plastic hats.
Instead, the Shreveport and Bossier
Baha'is and friends met at a private
home to celebrate Naw-ruz with a
feast, a prayer, and friendly conver-
sation.

Paul Johnson, Pam Van Allen, and
Larry Andrews are three Centenary Baha'is
who were among the roughly 25 people
gathered there. Paul explained the
background and main ideas of the Baha'i
faith to the CONGLOMERATE.

The religion began in 1844 in
Persia after a man called the "Bab"
foretold the coming of the savior
expected by Christians, Jews, Muslims,
Buddhists, and Hindus. A few years
later, "Him whom God Shall Manifest",
Baha'u'llah, began his teachings.
Baha'u'llah wrote during most of the
last 40 years of his life while he
was imprisoned.

Some of his beliefs were that all
forms of prejudice be condemned, religion
go hand- in-hand with science, education
be compulsory, equal rights be enforced
between sexes and an auxiliary inter-
national language be adopted. The
Baha'is do not have any formal clergy
in an effort to force followers to
learn the teachings of Baha'u'llah
themselves. They use a calendar with
19-day months. The last 19 days before
Naw-ruz, the celebration of the
beginning of spring, are spent in
fasting from sunrise to sunset.

Everyone eagerly celebrated the
end of the fasting Wednesday night.
Following the dinner, a film, "Baha f i
and the Holy Land" was shown. A
Bossier Baha'i ended the celebration
by inviting everyone to learn more about
Baha'u'llah, even "those who are not
Baha'is, those who are Baha'is, and
those who are gonna be Baha'is".

Visitors from Houston

April 4th will see 15 high school
guidance counselors from the Oil City of
Houston on the Centenary campus. They're
to be guests of the Admissions Department
for a full day of Gentlemanly hospitality.

While on campus, they will tour the
College- meet with not only administrators
but faculty and students, and catch the
highlights of Shreveport by chartered bus.

"We feel," said Warren Levingston,
Centenary's Director of Admissions, "that
exposure to the campus, its facilities, and
people will make an ijnpact on the visiting
guidance counselors and will give them a
more 'in-depth' understanding of that which
makes Centenary, Centenary."

Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Raymond will serve as
host and hostess for an afternoon buffet held
in honor of the Texan visitors. Also, the
Choir will conduct a noon performance, and
there will be for our Oil City visitors a
luncheon in the Centenary Room of the
cafeteria.

Founder's Day

This year's Founders' Day, according to
Centenary Chanlain Robert Ed Taylor, will be
observed on Thursday, ADril 5, on which date
T-2 classes will be dismissed at 10:15. T-3
classes will be dispensed with entirely on
that day.

The ceremonies will begin at 10:30 a.m. in
the Brown Memorial Chapel. Administrative of-
ficials, faculty, and seniors will march in
academic procession, with the major address
of the Convocation given by Dt. Walter Lowrey,
Chairman of the Denartment of History and
Government .

Presiding will be Dean of the College, Thad
N. *1arsh, with Mr. Teague at the organ and Dr.
Ballard leading the Centenary College Choir in
a snecial anthem. The Benediction will be
delivered by Chanlain Taylor.

Before classes resume at the T-4 session,

by Jeff Daiell

The powdered faces
strida left and right offstage,
ecstatic in the thunder from the
canyon below.

We did it.

We are a success.

They clap at our triumph.

"The Good Woman of Setzuan" is history now,
as far as concerns the Marjorie Lyons Play-
house. Six performances before sparse crowds
saw reviewers ' comments range from mixed to
negative, with student opinion averaging some-
what higher.

One factor never mentioned, whether in
this production or in any other, is the role
of the prop supervisor. "Good Woman" had two
such personages , Vivian Roelof s and Sharon
Emert, Sharon also serving as Assistant Di-
rector.

Because a play is like unto an iceberg in
that so little is visible, with so much never
seen, the CONGLOMERATE talked with Vivian
and Sharon, designated for "Good Woman" as
Ladies of the Props.

Sharon became a Ladie of the Props partly
as she "thought this would be the easiest
way to get into the theater" at Centenary,
returning as she was from a 3-year absence
from drama. Also, she was B. Acker's Assis-
tant Director- -and one can guess from whence
came the suggestion she double as Ladie of
the Props. Vivian claims, "I got roped...
I got caught over lunch one day." If you
know Vivian, you know better. Serving in
this capacity was new to Vivian, but Sharon
had been there before.

For those out there ignorant', the job
Sharon and Vivian performed consisted "for
the mobt part." as Vivian puts it, of finding
the necessary props, except those built by
the crew, arranging them so that they are
handy and in sequence, and, in some instances,
moving them around.

The cold-creamed cheeks
slam each other in the back
and roar congratulations.
We did it.

Interim Report

Eddie Vetter and Barbara Acker taught the
theater/sociology course held last interim.
The course consisted of reading plays selected
because of their emphasis on social issues.
After reading each play Vetter would discuss
them from a sociological view, and Miss Acker
would do so from from a theatrical view.

The class would spend two days discussing
and investigating each play.

Among the olays discussed were: The Care -
taker and No Exit , dealing with alienation;
The Gingerbread Lady , alcoholism; Mother
Courage , war; Ihe~Boys in the Band , homo-
sexuality ; The Brick and the Rose , drugs ;
The Dutchman , race; and I Never Sang for My
Father , gerontology .

Perhaps one of the greatest assets was the
total participation of everyone in the course,
with each student given the opportunity to
act out a scene from one of the plays. The
course climaxed with a nroduction of No Exit.

The month of January was highlighted by
the production of The Me Nobody Knows , an es-
Decially exciting and meamngrul show to the
students because it encompassed so much that
we had been learning and thinking about
during Interim '73.

the entire college community, including town
students without meal tickets, will be guests
at a picnic following the Convocation.

Seniors may pick up robes a few days before
the Convocation. They may be obtained in the
SUB with specific days and times to be
announced later.

We are a success .

They clap at our triumph.

While Sharon liked the job, she failed to
wax enthusiastic about it. It was different
with Vivian. Being fascinated by the theater,
she likes every aspect- -including that of a
Ladie of the Props. She found nothing hard
about it, although Sharon noted that it re-
quires coordination and agility. And speed,
too, they both discovered, at least for
"Good Woman." Nevertheless, facile though
the task might be, neither seeks a career in
props , although Vivian declared it a good
experience and Sharon commented that every
theater major should involve him or herself
in every respect.

Since every other aspect of a Bertolt
Brecht play is generally unusual (which .
unfortunately, some people find synonymous
with "not good") , the thought of unusual
happenings in this particular show was brought
up, concerning the prop aspect. While poor
Vivian accrued bruises and bumps, Sharon
found just the usual goofs -up --such as the
time Wendy's mask (as Shui Ta) wasn't ready.
All in all, she remarked, it was "more
nervewracking than funny."

One thing that was definitely unusual in
"Good Woman" was the fact that the prop su-
pervisors were seen on stage, a most rare
circumstance. Asked if this was a good idea
or poor, Sharon responded, "In that particu-
lar play, it was good... I thought the approach
was real good, but I've been in a couple of
plays where that wouldn't have worked." Vi-
vian found that "it was in context" in this
play; "I think Brecht would have approved."

The rubied lips
now scurry home
and luxuriate in sun-like
adulation.

We did it.

We are a sucess .

They clap at our triumph.

No one ever reads the names of prop super-
intendents in giant letters on the marquis,
nor do audiences ever rise to their feet in
unison upon completion of a play and scream,
until hoarse, "Prop girl! Prop girl!" In
reply to the inquiry concerning their satis-
faction with what little recogniton they did
receive, Vivian said simply, "Theater is a
group effort." Sharon remarked that the
glory is fun- -but the goal is the play. Nor
do they feel slighted by the more glamour-
laden partners in their enterprise, the per-
formers. Vivian described them as "overall
conscientious and glad someone's there" and
Sharon felt that "Most of them are pretty
good about it."

Asked for general comments, Sharon added
that it had been a worthwhile experience,
but that she was glad it was over, happy as
she had been for a chance to work with the
people involved. Vivian said simply, "I
think it was a good experience. It was fun.
There's a world of things to learn." She
added, "Could have never have made it except
for much appreciated help from our loyal
friend Jeff Daiell."

The ultimate measure of any work, of
course, is whether the holder thereof would
recommend it. Vivian would: "I think that
all theater majors should be acquainted with
all aspects of a production..." while Sharon
would definitely recomment it to a Playhouse
partisan, and said firmly that it would be
good for anyone else as well.

Behind the linen barrier

sits a girl ,

not of powdered faces,

not of cold-creamed cheeks,

not of rubied lips;

a girl, instead,

of stage-craft tools:

papers, folders, booklets all —

the candle in our lantern.

You did it.

You are a success.

They clap at your triumph.

THE CONGLOMERATE

Old Blues Anew

Blues fans will be walking around for
awhile with lean wallets and smiles on their
faces, thanks to Atlantic Records, or rather
to Pete Lowry, who came up with the idea for
their latest reissue series.

Atlantic is one of the few- -very few--
companies that have shown any awareness of
the value of their old recordings , but this
is the first time they have reissued any of
their blues material.

There are six volumes so far in the "Blues
Originals" series, with more to follow. They
are packaged in a handsome format with vin-
tage photos and extensive liner notes, as
well as full details on personnel and'origi-
nal master and release numbers.

Most important to rock fans is the Pro-
fessor Longhair set (SD 7225). Longhair was
the man who inspired every New Orleans pia-
nist from the mid-'40's on, and his original
records now sell for as much as $100 each.
He is the acknowledged mentor of Fats Domino,
Huey Smith, Dr. John and many others, and his
music shows why. His rough but likeable
singing style and fluid, rhumba-boogie piano
figures are remarkably effective at recreating
the feel of the whore -houses and low dives
in which R$B flourished in the late '40s,
and on close inspection he also proves to be
doing some amazing things on the keyboard.
His playing was so sophisticated compared "to
the primitive nature of his voice and lyrics
that the total effect is, among other things,
quite strange. Note in particular the songs'
''Ball the Wall" and 'Tipitina." You've never
heard anyone play piano like this before.

Two others in the series strike me as
being of special importance. Blues Piano- -
Chicago Plus (SD 7227) includes~~the" wrTTof
several of boogie-woogie's original main men.
Hardly any old-style boogie is available on
records today, none that I know of in fact
besides two Milestone releases, and certainly
none of this caliber. Little Brother Mont-
gomery is all his reputation has led me to
expect, Meade Lewis is always a pleasure,
and Little Johnny Jones (a regular sideman
at Chess Records for many years) is heard
here with Elmore James. The big surprise is
Floyd Dixon, whose "Floyd's Blues" and "Hey
Bartender" reveal a polished, uptown style
similar to that of Amos Milburn or even
Charles Brown. All it would take now is a
few cuts by Cripple Clarence Lofton to put
me in paradise .

lE^i Guitar- -From DaUas t£ 1_A_. (SD
722b) fills in some important roots in the
development of R5B in the '50s, from Al King
to T. Bone Walker, who was plaving guitar
with his teeth behind his back', and plaving
some pretty far out things too, 25 years
before Hendrix.

The rest of the series includes albums of
the last sessions of Blind Willie McTell
(7224) and Jimmy Yancey ("229) and a John
Lee Hooker albun (7228) that sounds about
the same as all John Lee Hooker records.

the whole, these recordings date from
the first five years of Atlantic's history,
1949-54, although in many cases they repre-
sent important styles that had died out
years before. They are made up largely of
unissued takes, and are of incalculable
worth by anyone's estimation. I have only
one quarrel with the format, and that is
that these could as easily have been 2 -LP
sets, and for the price of one, also, since
there were obviously no artists' fees to be
paid. Perhaps Atlantic's vaults were drained,
but there were enough equally obscure tracks
issued on now-defunct labels that with some
leasing these sets could been really defini-
tive, the way United Artists 1 "Legendary
Masters" reissues are. This is especially
true of Professor Longhair, whose total out-
Put could have been captured here an two
records. As it stands, a fan must still
fork over $500 or so for a few 78 f s if he
*ants to hear the rest.

But it's their series, and their format.

As long as they keep it going, I have no real
complaints . This is music I 've waited years
to hear, and it hasn't disappointed me. In
fact, it sounds better than most of the new
stuff I've heard lately. Although that, come
to think of it, isn't saying much.

THE NEW

SAUL-PAUL SIRAG /)

A House of Cards

There is a fantastic tug -of -war going on
between Time magazine and Stanford Research
Institute about psychokinesis, of all things.
Don't think it's a small war. The struggle
is over Uri Geller, the man "who can make
clocks run backward," and the foundations
of the powerful are shaking.

hJ t Sw£^l f 26 -> rear -° ld Israeli linguist,
has under closely controlled laboratory con-
ditions demonstrated his ability to change
f\ m scientifically inexplicable wa^s-
such as: bending metal, disappearing metal
creating fractures in metal, ISpSS^Scl

in a matter of seconds. This was the bcnfc-
5Se? at ^FiJ* Wharidt, an M.D. wTLs
studied psychics for 25 years, and Geller
for the past 18 months, threw to a large
audience at a parapsychology symposium at
U.C. Berkeley on March the 4th

th^r ^ yS la ^ Cr ™^ine came out on
rfftSS* 12 th ^^'icle accusing Geller

?t»SS"p bitterl >' «t2&ed £

Stanford Research Institute and smeared the

Physicists Harold Puthoff and Russell Tare

who checked out Uri Geller and found hliT*'

not have much of a scientific leg toTtand

Tne Department of Defense, which funds

most of SRI research, brought in two psycho-
logists to give opinions about the methodol-
ogy of the Geller research. One equivocated,
and the other said he detected flagrant er-
rors . Puharich said that the Department of
Defense official who came out to SRI because
a computer was going haywire. And if a man
could mess with a computer as easily as Gel-
ler could, well. . . So the DOD official
charged the researchers with incompetence
and brought in the psychologists to do a
hatchet job.

Meanwhile Time 's editors had Geller put
on a private show for them. They called in
seme magicians who said any competent magi-
cian could do what Geller does. Time claims
one magician duplicated Geller 's feats . Pu-
harich says, "Just let them try!" Just like
Moses and the magicians of Egypt in a Cecil
B. DeMille spectacular. That's how strange
it's getting to be.

In the case of the SRI experiments, pre-
liminary tests were done with Geller -with
astounding results. The procedures and re-
sults were taken to many distinguished para-
psychologists and specialists in scientific

method for evaluation. They approved of the
soundness of the methodology and made further
suggestions. Then further research was car-
ried out. Puthoff and Targ were to present
their findings on March the 9th at Columbia.

Tlme really jumped the gun. And if anyone
was sloppy it was Time because they were over-
ly impressed with Heller's resemblance to a
stage magician. True, Geller is a showman,
and has demonstrated his abilities on many
stages, especially in Israel and Germany '
fwhere he stopped a huge escalator, and' a
new "fail -safe" cable car system.)

But Geller, in these shows, can make a
silver dollar disappear, and come back a few
minutes later bent in half. Sure, he has
the coin in a tightly-closed fist when it
disappears, but you can hold his hand with
yours, and you can provide your own coin and
check the serial number before and after.
No magician lets you do all that. He can
fix a watch (with the main spring busted,
say) by putting his hand around the watch
for a few minutes. (He fixed a small,
solid-state electronic calculator for Wer-
ner Von Braun this way.) He can change the
temperature of objects, move them from one
continent to another.

Puharich once asked him to go out of the
body to a particular location in Brazil and
bring back a particular obiect. "Back"
in this instance was Israel, where his body
was, with Puharich standing by. He was able
to do it. This is getting pretty far-out, I
admit, but Puharich says that he has been
very hard put to find anything Geller can't
do. He does telepathy very easily, but
precognition is his weakest ooint, so far.
He could develop it tomorrow*. It seems
likely that Geller can interfere with every
known "law" of physics!

Time is a very elemental thing and a test
is planned to pin down just how much Geller
can affect time. The problem is that it is
hard to isolate pure "time" from other ef-
fects. Geller can make a clock disappear
and come back showing a different time from
control clocks. But how do we know he didn't
just affect the mechanics of the clock?
Radioactivity is the most accurate clock we
know, and plans are afoot to have Geller make
a radioactive sample change its rate of ac-
tivity. Of course, the same problem will
crop up in the radioactivity sample, but on
a deeper psychical level. Just let Tune's
magicians try their hands at stoppinlfradio-
active time! ^ *

Oice we understand the "laws" governing
Geller's abilities, Puharich foresees the
time when these abilities will be shared by
everyone. Ideas of the mind might be im-
mediately realized in matter. Manufacturing
marketing, educating, practically every insti-
tution as -we -know- it will be done away with.
The Establishment could fall like a house of
cards. But Puharich warns, this could only
happen if the information about these pheno-
mena are widely disseminated. This is no
time for groups hoarding secret knowledge,
or Big Brother will result.

It could go either way, but the power-
mongers are trembling. Perhaps Time
tT^ I bel ' eve f "»re than it is letting on.
Tme has clearly tried to create news rather
t^ report it, for Tune knew that the pub-
lic disclosures of the^etails of the SRI
research was to be on March 9 at Colunbia.
Time has tried to pre-empt any response to
thit disclosure. But, what Ge Herman
really do, only time will tell.

March 29, 1973 THE CONGLOMERATE P*g e Ten

Where are the bikeways?

You've probably heard a lot about
today's bicycle boom and the many
advantages bicycling offers. It is clean,
quiet, inexpensive, energy-efficient,
healthful — and fun. You might say
the bicycle is one of the world's
greatest inventions!

However, there is one big, sober-
ing drawback: Bicycling in North
America today simply isn't safe! An
estimated 900 bicycle riders will be
killed and more than 40,000 injured
in bike-auto accidents this year alone
in the United States. Most of these
accidents could be avoided with ade-
quate bikeways — separate pathways
just for bicycles and safe routes in
conjunction with roads.

But: Where are the bikeways? This
country's 80 million cyclists have only
16,000 miles of bikeways, or about
13 inches for each bike rider\ Com-
pare that with the 3 million miles of
paved roads available to 90 million
motorists. And most of the existing
bikeways are far from ideal. Instead
of protective curbing to separate bikes
from autos, you usually find just white
lines or signs along the road's edge,
which do little more than lull both
cyclists and motorists into a false
sense of security.

Who is holding things up?

Why aren't our millions of bicycle-
riding taxpayers provided with better,
safer facilities? Because most govern-
ment bodies continue to pump our
money into still more roads, highways,
and freeways. Their actions make us
even more dependent on automobiles,
which results in more smog, noise,
and traffic congestion — not to men-
tion depletion of the world's natural
resources.

And what about the citizens who
must rely on alternate transportation?
Half of our nation's adults do without
the automobile, by need or by choice.
Yet no major bikeway, bus or rail
transit funds have been made avail-
able, and proposals fall ridiculously
short of the real needs. The problem
is further compounded by the fact
that attempts to solve our transpor-
tation dilemma with gas tax funds con-
tinue to meet vehement opposition
Prom powerful road and highway

lobbies.

What could a bicycle
community be like?

Here's a practical, viable alternative.
Well-defined bikeways, separated from
cars, radiate from residential neigh-
borhoods to schools. On-street car
parking gives way to protected bike-
ways on key thoroughfares. Bicycle
storage facilities are located through-
out the city. Commuters bicycle to
public transportation stations, store
their vehicles, and continue by bus or
rail into commercial sectors of the
city. Buses going into the countryside
have racks to hold bicycles. Adequate
bus and rail facilities play a key role,
especially during bad weather. That's
what we could have!

Friends For Bikecology
is trying to help

Friends For Bikecology has been
working two years for more and safer
bikeways. We sponsored National
Bikecology Week in May 1972, in-
volving thousands of people in more
than 70 cities throughout the nation.
This activity served to publicize our
ideas and goals and to win the sup-
port of many legislators and planners.

We have two main objectives. First,
to see that bicycle, bus, and rail trans-
portation receive an equitable share of
public funds. In 1972, $22 billion of
our gasoline and property taxes were
spent in the United States for roads
and highways, while less than one
hillion went for public transportation.
And practically nothing was provid-
ed for bikeways! We must convince

policy makers to support a balanced
transportation system, including bike-
ways. Motorists will also benefit be-
cause congestion on roads and high-
ways would be relieved.

Our second objective is to convince
planners to THINK BIKE!" They
should see the bicycle as an essential
part of the larger transportation sys-
tem and an integral part of commun-
ity life.

The facts are on our side. Traffic
studies show that 43% of all urban
work trips made by automobiles are
four miles or less; and in 9 out of 10
trips, the driver is the sole occupant.
These trips could just as easily be
made on bicycles. Bicycles will even
conserve the taxpayers' dollars. For
example, a downtown auto parking
structure costs approximately $4000
for each car space — enough to build
an enclosed facility that can hold 150
bicycle s\

Gents Sweep ETBC

I WATCH thm BIRDIE! 1

Conglomerate Sports Service

Centenary hauled out the heavy timber in
Marshall, Tex., Wednesday, pounding out 22
base hits and scoring 23 times to rout East
Texas Baptist College, 15-3 and 8-7, in a
baseball doubleheader.

Earlier in the week, the Gents split a
pair with Central Missouri State, taking the
opener from the Mules 9-1 before dropping
the wrapup 15-4.

Hie Gents celebrated their biggest scor-
ing inning of the season when they took bat-
ting practice on four ETBC pitchers in the
fourth inning of the first game, clubbing
five base hits and taking advantage of seven
bases on balls and one Tiger error for
11 runs .

Don Birkelbach and David Olson led the
12 -hit Centenary barrage, collecting three
hits in five at bats each. Birkelbach, the
leading hitter on the team with a near .400
average, accounted for four Gent runs -batted
in and Olson brought home two with a double
and two singles.

Centenary jumped out to a quick 8-0 lead
after three innings in the second game and
then had to hold off a fierce ETBC late-
innings rally for the win that put the Gents
back at the .500 mark (6-6).

The five- run second inning started when
Olson singled and then scored when Randy
West cracked a hit-and-run double. Two walks
loaded the bases and then Mike Paulson
tattooed a three run triple to left-center
in the spacious ETBC park. The smash would
have reportedly been an easy homer on the
Gents' home diamond, but, due to the large
dimensions of the Tiger field, Paulson could
only manage three bases. Frank Parks then
followed with a sacrifice fly to plate
Paulson.

One inning later, Olson again played a

key role in the Gents' scoring, this time
powering a two -run triple over the right -
fielder's head, scoring Paulson and Birkel-
bach ahead of him. Freshman Jim Bonds then
sent Olson scampering home on a double, al-
though Bonds made the third out while attemp-
ting to stretch his two-bagger into a triple.

ETBC got its chance in the late innings,
however, but Perry Peyton got the last batter
in the game, ETBC's Bob Bunton (who is from
Shreveport), to strike out with the tying
run stranded on second base with two outs.

Perry Peyton said he wasn't really sur-
prised with how well he and his teammates
hit the ball against ETBC. "We've been facing
some pretty tough pitching these last few
games," said Peyton, adding, "but today they
just threw hard and straight. Even when we
were making outs, we were hitting hard
shots."

Perry had two hits in that second game,
along with West, who also had two RBI's.

The Gents' next action is Saturday and
Sunday in New Orleans with single games
against Tulane University each day.

CONGLOMERATE

_Centenary College/Shreveport, Louisiana/Vol . 67, No. 22/ Thursday, April 5, 1973

Five Centenary Gents took their game from
the basketball court to the federal court
Wednesday, with the future of Centenary's
basketball program hanging in the balance.

The five- -Dale Kinkelaar, Rick Jacobs,
Jerry Waugh, Wei ton Brookshire, and Robert
Parish- -have filed suit testing the constitu-
tionality of the .National Collegiate Athletic
Association's so-called 1.6 rule. That rule,
which requires that prospective student-ath-
Letes have a predicted ability to do 1.6 work
on four-point scale in college, is the center
of the controversy that resulted in Centenary
being placed on indefinite probation last
Januarv r .

The probation states that Centenary may
not participate in any post -season tourna-
ments nor may it take part in any nationally
televised series, and therein lies the key to
the action's significance concerning the fu-
ture of Centenarv basketball (and any other
sport). Centenary, an independent with no
conference attachment, has only such post-sea-
son tournaments to look forward to in its
quest to gain recognition for its program.
By barring the Gents from their only avenue
of significant achievement, the NCAA has
placed the school in the position of not hav-
ing anything to offer to lure top-notch high
school athletes to Centenary-, isho wants to
go to a school that can't win anything but
regular season games? Who wants to plav for
a team whose players' names aren't even list-
ed in national statistical publications?
By and large, how will good pi avers hear a-
Dout Centenary's program? The answer is ob-
vious: highly talented young men who could
play virtually anywhere in the nation are not
likelv to put themselves in a situation like
Centenary's.

In Wednesdav's session, Federal District
Judge Ben C. Dawk ins and the sparse group of
spectators listened while several Centenary
administrators were. questioned concerning the
college's admission procedures, both in gener-
al and regarding prospective student -athletes ,
and about their knowledge of admission pro-

cesses and awarding of athletic scholarships
to the five plaintiffs. Much time was also
spent questioning the validity of such test-
ing devices as the American College Test TACT)
and the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) as ac-
curate tools of predicting ability to satis-
factorily do college work.

The alleged violations center around the
fact that Centenary converted the ACT scores
of five athletes to SAT scores before apply-
ing the table that predicted whether or not
those five would be capable of 1.6 work at
Centenary. Several years ago, Centenary onlv
accepted the SAT scores, but when it became
apparent that many more students were taking
the ACT test, the faculty committee on admis-
sions voted to accept either. Until an accu-
rate prediction table could be built up for
the ACT test at Centenary' fbased on actual
college work done at Centenary by students ad-
mitted to Centenary' on ACT tests), the Admis-
sions Office used a widely known table to con-
vert ACT scores to SAT scores before applying
the l.b criterion. This is standard policy
for all prospective students, not lust stu-
dent athletes. The school contends that the
tables used are legal and valid; the NCAA says
they are not.

Centenary' College President John H. Allen
was the first witness called. Allen testified
that he felt that the testing process and
therefore the 1.6 rule is in some ways dis-
criminatory. 'There is a tendency to discrim-
inate against culturally or educationally de-
prived individuals [on these tests]," said
Allen. The president also stated that the
1.6 rule "selects a group of students for re-
quirements that other students on the campus
do not have to meet."

. Art Carmody, a local attorney representing
the NCAA, questioned Dr. Allen on that matter.
Larnody: There are three factors in determin-
ing if a prospective student athlete will
meet the 1.6 requirement. One, his high
school grades; two, his rank in his high
school class; and three, his SAT and ACT
scores. Correct 0

Allen: Yes.

Carmody: Do you think any table used at Cen-
tenary is less stringent than any other such
table?

Allen: No.

Carmody: If I were to tell you that Centen-
ary College's is in the bottom five or six
would you be surprised?

Allen: Yes.

Carmody: Would you be surprised if I told
you that Centenary College's ACT and SAT
averages are lower than the national aver-
age?

Allen: Yes.

Carmody: Before Robert Parish signed a grant-
in-aid with Centenary College, had you ever
been told directly or indirectly that Robert
would not make the 1.6 predictions?
Allen: No.

Carmody concluded that exchange by stating,
"We intend to show that at least one of these'
athletes tested so low that he could not have
gone anywhere in the country and played in
his first year."

Carmody, an overbearing man who seemed to
thrive on belittling the witnesses (testify-
ing in behalf of the players), repeatedly at-
tempted to make the case a question of r en-
tenary College (and its alleged violations)
vs. the NCAA. John Gallagher and Peyton
Moore, the attorneys representing the five
Centenary basketball players, spent much of
their time objecting to Carmody 's questions
that obviously were intended for that pur-
pose.

During an afternoon recess, Gallagher
fumed, "You see what they're [the NCAA attor-
neys] are trying to do?" Obviously referring
to Carmody 's efforts to ignore the plaintiff's
suit, Gallagher continued, "I don't care a-
bout that, I care about my clients. It's me
and those five young men."

TVo of those five young men, Kinkelaar
and Brookshire, testified shortly before the
court recessed late Wednesday. Dale and Wel-
ton both agreed that the experience that they

Democracy in action: Election Committee
members (L to R) Millie Feske, Barry Wil-
liams, and Leslie Goens start the count Monday,

Clark Re-elected
By Six Vote Margin

by Debby Detrow and Mary Oakland

When Denny Reedy decided at the last
minute to run as a write-in candidate for
SGA President, he probably had no idea
he'd be standing in a debate with incumbent
Rick Clark on Tuesday. Rick Clark didn't
either.

Clark's narrow election victory (six
votes) was only one of many surprises han-
ded students in the elections held Mon-
day and Tuesday for Senate offices and for
Men's Judicial Board positions.

Clark received 50.71 of the votes, re-
taining his position of SGA President
thanks to his 191 voting supporters, as
opposed to Reedy 's 185. Sixty- two percent
of Centenary's full time students voted in
Tuesday's runoff. Cindy Yeast and Bill
Bergmann, unopposed for the offices of Vice-
President and Treasurer (respectively),
won with overwhelming majorities.

Pete Matter, who had been disqualified
from the official ballot due to election
rules (he was one hour late turning in his
petition), defeated Glen Williams for Sen-
ior Male Senator 47 to 33. The new Senior
Female Senator is Mary Oakland, who received
60 votes, topping Karen Schmit's 12.

Mike Griffin is the Junior Male Senator,
having "received 72 votes; Jim Poole re-
ceived 39. Mary Jo Trice became Junior
Female Senator with 65 votes, defeating
both Linda Trott (21 votes) and Barbara
Robbins (15 votes) .

The new representatives of the sophomore
class are Judge Edwards and Cindy Buckner.
Edwards defeated Joey Lacoste 50-40 while
Buckner defeated Katie Avery 48-41.

Thorn Roberts, with 78 votes, easily
bested Matt Browne (47 votes) and Larry
Wright (20 votes) in the race for Indepen-
dent Male Senator. Pat Norton, unopposed,
maintained her position as Independent Fe-
male Senator with 136 votes.

DEBATE IN THE SUB

The highlight of the election campaign
came Tuesday when the CONGLOMERATE spon-
sored a debate in the SUB between Rick Clark
and surprise candidate Denny Reedy, who had
thrown the "sure" re-election of Clark into
a runoff by winning a plurality as a write-
in candidate in Monday's primary.

Reedy spoke first to over 200 students
packed into the stage/snack- table area dur-
ing Tuesday's break, explaining that he
wasn't a politician and so had at heart
only the interest of the students. He
emphasized the charge that there isn't
enough communication between students and
the Senate.

Clark relied on his past experience as
a platform, also referring to his appoint-
ment to the Alumni Board and his adeptness
at relaying the feelings of students to
the administration. He stressed his con-
cern about maintaining a "continuity" in
the Senate.

The session for questions was opened by
moderator Taylor Caffery, who asked if
the candidates felt a student should be
appointed to the Board of Trustees. Reedy
agreed, Clark disagreed. (Clark said that
power actually lies with Dr. Allen rather
than with the board, but YONCOPIN Editor
Susan Bell took issue.)

After that beginning, the questions
ranged from the methods of selecting enter-

tainment and Forums speakers to the lack of
communication between all segments of the
campus community.

Also in Tuesday's election, the Men's Ju-
dicial Board's new constitution was approved,
and the following men were elected to the
board: Chuck Easley, and Curtis Melancon,
Senior Representatives; Jim Poole and Chris
Creamer, Junior Representatives; Randall
Walker and Lou Graham, Sophomore Represen-
tatives; Tom "Bush" Musselman, Representa-
tive at Large.

Any person desiring to contest an elec-
tion must do so within ten days to the
chairman of the Elections Committee. Reasons
must be stated in writing and, in the event
that these reasons are found valid by two-
thirds of the committee, measures will be
taken to correct the situation.

Garvin, Berton Won't
Teach Here Next Year

by John and Sissy Wiggin

A few members of the faculty will not be
returning to Centenary after this semester.
Dr. John Berton, chairman of the economics
department, and Wes Garvin, a government
teacher, will both be departing from the
Centenary family. In an effort to find out
why they were leaving and what their parting
thoughts were, we interviewed Mr. Garvin and
Dr. Berton this week.

A rather unexpected announcement, or at
least unexpected to students, was that of Dr.
Berton 's decision to leave Centenary for a
senior professorship at L .S .U. -Shreveport .
Dr. Berton had little to say about his rea-
sons for departure except that he was goii}g
to a place "where I think I've got more pos-
sibilities for myself. A person has to keep
a certain psychological advantage in his
work and I think that by moving now I can do
more elsewhere than I can do here." Asked
what his other reasons were for leaving, he
stated that opportunity beckoned elsewhere
and that Centenary itself was not the major
reason for his decision.

Dr. Berton had no comment when asked about
his observations on Centenary as a whole.
"Obviously," he said, "I have feelings, but
there just comes a time professionally when
you can't say anything... You've got me in
one of those situations." Berton said that
people are now being interviewed with the
intention of hiring two professors as re-
placements , one economist and one marketing
management man. He also stated that the eco-
nomics department needs strengthening.

We asked Dr. Berton what he thought about
the recent student interest in academic in-
novation at Centenary. "I think that the in-
terest the students are now displaying, if
it is channeled correctly, is in the right
direction. I would be highly critical of it
if it deteriorates into what it may deterio-
rate into, and that is the elimination of the
courses that are hard and easing up of the
grading system. I've seen too much of that
already. In many ways I think that's what
the students want."

But by and large, Dr. Berton said, the
students he has had at Centenary have been
much better than any students he had at the
University of Arkansas.

Mr. Garvin was much more willing to talk
about Centenary than Dr. Berton. When asked
why he was leaving, Mr. Garvin stated that it
was not his choice. Centenary simply cannot
support two government teachers, he said, and
the returning professor will have a Ph.D.
Mr. Garvin claimed he has no future plans now,
but is optimistic about (the future's) exis-
tence. He said he does want to teach, but
was pessimistic about the opportunities open
to him without a doctorate.

Mr. Garvin has taught at another four-year
college and also a community college in Vir-
ginia, but he stated that the students there
do not compare to Centenary students. There
are good and bad students, involved and un-
involved students everywhere, but Garvin
claimed Centenary has a higher proportion of
good and involved students.

However, even with this high percentage of
involved students, Garvin said much intellec-
tual sterility exists on the campus. "It has
been a fairly sterile atmosphere, with certain
exceptions. And what's going on now is one
of the major exceptions," he claimed. He was
referring to the academic innovation meetings
held the past two Fridays. The responsibility
for the sterile atmosphere lies with both

students and teachers. "A major problem is
that Centenary seems to be suffering from a
schizoid attitude toward what it expects of
its faculty," Garvin said. "All of the ad-
vertising of the school stresses teaching,
but in reality the favored faculty are those
who do not necessarily teach or totally in-
volve themselves with the students' activi-
ties, but [are] those who do the standard
intellectual research and publishing." That
is the impression Garvin has received.

Asked whether or not he thought the dis-
content would affect any change in the aca-
demic structure, Garvin stated that as long
as it stays at the level of tens ion- releasing
bull sessions, nothing will get done. How-
ever, if the discontent can be channeled
either through the Senate or a new ad-hoc
continuing organization, some change may re-
sult." 'You're not going to be able to just
say, 'We don't like it.' You're going to
have to say, 'This would be better.'" Gar-
vin continued by saying that the faculty is
basically going to keep within the structure
of curriculum because of its vested interest
in curriculum. The students must not only
demonstrate the need and desire for change,
but must take the initiative to propose some
some positive action.

Jeannie Campbell Wins
Alumni Scholarship

A Captain Shreve High School senior, 17
year old Jeannie Campbell, has been awarded
the Centenary Alumni Association Scholarship
for 1973. The award was announced by Dr.
Juan Watkins, president of the Alumni Associ-
ation, and Jack Elgin, Chairman of the Schol-
arship Committee.

The scholarship is valued at $1500, pro-
vides full tuition to the recipient, and is
renewable through the student's senior year

forego .

ff Now I know what it feels like to be on
death row," said Kinkelaar Wednesday after
the session. "I haven't got a good night's
sleep since this whole thing started."

During the course of the hearing, the NCAA
attorneys implied that all the student-ath-
letes would have to do to rectify the situa-
tion would be to go someplace else and play
basketball. Kinkelaar thought that that
point was ridiculous. "Hell, I don't want to
go to another school --if I did I would have
in the first place."

Brookshire added, 'You're always thinking
about it. You just can't get it off your
mind. It's like something hanging over you;
you know, you're fixin' to get beheaded and
you're waiting for the blade to fall."

Today (Thursday) the "trial" continues.
Nobody knows what the decision will be. Daw-
kins occasionally gives glimpses of what his
bent is ("You know what's in my heart," said
the judge, "but I don't decide cases with my
heart.")

But the apparent inequity that has befallen
these five Centenary' Gentlemen was summed up
when Dawkins asked (referring to Parish es-
pecially) , "Is he forever damned just because
he should have known better?"

CORRECTION 1: The CONGLOMERATE ' s phone
number is listed incorrectly in the new
student directory. 869-5269 is right.
Please change it in your copy. CORRECTION
2: Do you know Polly M. Griffith? If you do,
don't try to find her number under G. Look
under M, page 22, between Mary Lucille Mor-
gan and Sarah Nelson Morgan. The misplace-
ment isn't too illogical, actually, because
she was a Morgan too, before she married.

Any other mistakes or misfilings?

Dr. Edward F. Haas has won the Louisiana
Historical Association's annual award for the
best published article on Louisiana history.
The award was made at the annual meeting of
the Association this weekend in Franklin,
Louisiana.

The article, entitled "New Orleans on the
Half-Shell: the Maestri Years 1936-1946,"
appeared in the Summer 1972 issue of Louisiana
History , the official publication of the As-
sociation. It traces the career of Robert S.
Maestri as mayor of New Orleans. The materi-
al for the article was taken from Haas's dis-
sertation for his Ph.D. degree from the Uni-
versity of Maryland.

The Shreveport Lions Club, sponsor of the
choir's annual "Holiday in Song," heard a pre-
view Wednesday afternoon in the caf . Under
direction of Dr. William Ballard, the choir
presented a program of folk music with songs
from England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Ger-
many, and Hungary, as well as traditional
American Folk Music. Tickets for the program
at the Civic Theater April 10 and 11 are a-
vailable from choir members.

The college's best movie projector has been
stolen. According to Steve Holt, Director of
Student Activities, it disappeared about three
weeks ago fron the Hamilton Hall first-floor
conference room. The Bell and Howell Auto-
Load projector was valued at approximately
S800.

Entry forms for the March of Dimes' April
7 Walkathon are available from 1st National
Bank on Youree Drive and at the Pak A Sak
stores. The Walkathon is the March of Dimes 1
community activity that gives everyone an op-
portunity to join the fight against birth
defects by seeking pledges of 10{ or more per
mile from backers who will pay according to
the distance each volunteer walks . The
planned route covers twenty miles. The Walk-
athon will start at 7:30 a.m. Saturday with
Lt. Gov. James Fitzmorris, city officials,
Larry Ryan, and Mr. Weather on hand for the
opening ceremonies .

"When the Myths are Gone" is the topic of
this year's symposium in the series "The Edu-
cation of Women for Social and Political Lead-
ership" held on the campus at Southern Metho-
dist University April 5-6.

Centenary by invitation of SMU President
Dr. Paul Hardin will send two representatives
from the campus. Dr. Viva Rainey and Mary
Oakland will depart today to participate in
the two -day event.

The Centenary Sailing Club has weekly
events every Sunday at the Shreveport Yacht
Club. Races are at 1:30 p.m., and all stu-
dents are invited. For more information, call
Robert Fleege at 869-5639 (or 5110).

Capri manager Fred Richards has announced
the booking of George Stevens' "The Greatest
Story Ever Told," a "super- spectacular" oldie
about Jesus with Max von byacw, Heston, Po-
tier, Wayne, Mineo, Shelly Winters, etc.
The emphasis of studio publicity concerning
the re-release is that the story of Jesus
has a strong appeal to today's youth. The
film's ads have been updated to the extent
of including the "one-way" finger-symbol .
It opens Thursday, April 12.

Students Brainstorm
In James Dorm Lobby

by Sherl Washington

Faculty members and representatives of our
student body met Friday afternoon in the lob-
by of James dorm to air grievances dealing
with the curriculum and the attitudes of the
students toward the curriculum.

An almost unanimous gripe centered about
required courses. Freshman English 101 is
the only remaining required course with the
recent death of Great Issues. No freshman
present contested the English course.

Two areas of concentration at the meeting
came to the fore: a proposal for special de-
partmental meetings and suggestions for re-
vamping freshman orientation.

The departmental conferences would be set
up to allow students with compliments or com-
plaints to meet with a department and discuss
ideas at monthly meetings. In addition, more
frequent advisor- student meetings could be ar-
ranged. The result should be more student
say-so about the courses taken, course con-
tents ; and in turn , more concern on the part
of the student in his work.

Second, the group explored the problems of
"those lost souls," entering freshmen. The
group was concerned with the decrease in en-
rollment, and mentions were made of the ad in

Time saying that "No President of the U.S.
ever graduated from Centenary." Some consid-
ered the ad a blockage to higher enrollment.

It was suggested that a more involved and
meaningful orientation program be established
and that a distributive sample of courses be
"pleasantly suggested" (Centenary no longer
seems to favor the word "required") to intro-
duce incoming students to the available fields
of study.

Other ideas included grade /no credit, no
deadline for dropping courses , plus ideas
from other college systems. The Sociology
Department under Dr. Pledger received an "A"
for interesting and "free" classes. Refer-
ence was made to the Independent Study pro-
gram that Centenary has but that few students
take advantage of.

More is expected to be discussed at the
next meeting, to be held this afternoon at
3:50 in James Dorm Lobby. Teachers and stu-
dents are invited to attend and express their
feelings about Centenary. The college can't
improve unless it knows what's wrong.

William Everson at Forums

William Everson — poet, ex-monk , husband —
is to appear at Centenary April 9, 10, 11,
concluding with a formal presentation at
8 pm Wednesday night in Hurley Auditorium.

Born in California to a Norwegian band-
master and a young farm girl of German-
Irish descent, he became a conscientious ob-
jector in WWII , ' then in 1949 became acquaint-
ed with Roman Catholicism through his second
wife, and eventually entered the Dominican
Order .

He emerged in 1957 as a leader of the
'beat poets,' finally leaving the Dominicans
in late 1969 during a public reading at the
University of California at Davis.

This person may discomfort his listeners .
(Once he threw a glassful of water at a pho-
tographer trying to freeze the moment on
film. Everson, filled with remorse, spread
his hands helplessly and said, "How can a man
make love with a camera on him?") But if we
remember that all births require blood, pain,
and water— and that "life, after all, is bet-
ter than non-life" — come out to see this man
April 9-11. —Extracted from Jess Gilbert

The Choirs Got em

You have probably been approached by a
member of Centenary's choir and asked to buy
a ticket to this year's Rapsody in View,
which has been renamed Holiday in Song (in
conjunction with Holiday in Dixie). And you
have probably been wondering what's it all
about .

According to members of the choir, the
event is sponsored by the Lions Club of
Shreveport to raise money for their camp for
crippled children near Many, La. Holiday in
Song will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday
nights, April 10 and 11, at 8:15 p.m. in the
Civic Center Theatre downtown.

Not only will the Centenary Choir be fea-
tured, but also Mike Brwn, a Centenary stu-
dent, Leonard Kacenjar, Concert Master of the
Shreveport Symphony and part-time faculty
member, and Irv Zeidman f doing a narration
from "Fiddler on the Roof") will perform.

SEXIST SENATE OFFICES

To the Editor:

I think that sex is not a relevant con-
dition for positions in the Senate. There
have been times I've wanted to vote for two
people of the same sex; if those two are the
best of all who are running it is only reason-
able that they should hold the positions for
their class. Having separate elections for
male and female Senator is insulting to fe-
males; the implication seems to be that they
are not equal to males and should therefore
not compete with them.

I also urge students to avoid the de facto
segregation of Senate Offices by sex that has
been recurrent since I've been here. Females
should run for President and Treasurer, males
for Vice-President and Secretary, if they
feel qualified and willing to do the work of
the positions.

I'm amazed not to have heard this appal-
ling situation attacked since I've been here.
I think it's more lamentable and says more
about the progress of Centenary thari the dorm
visitation situation did.

DECIDEDLY INTERESTING

' i

To._the Editor:

This past week's Student Senate elections
can be termed no less than "decidedly inter-
esting" by anyone v/ho has followed them from
their inception. I will not hope to comment
upon the ramifications of this particular e-
lection--I feel sure that history will be the
truest judge.

I wish to both concede the election and
congratulate my opponent, Miss Buckner, upon
her victory. I wish her the most success in
her upcoming term of office. I also want to
thank all of those freshmen who supported my
candidacy with their votes, and it is my hope
that all of our interests will be served. If
not, there will be other elections, and I
shall not hesitate to run as many times as
necessary in order that our voices might be
both heard and considere3T~

Secondly, I wish to comment upon a certain
CONGLOMERATE reporter's coverage of Monday's
primary election. Though I don't feel the
necessity of naming the person in question,
please understand that I do not mean this as
a blanket indictment upon the entire staff.
(To quote a truism... "If the shoe fits...")
Be reminded that muckraking is indicative,
at best, of only third-rate journalism, and
has no place upon the Centenary College cam-
pus or in the pages of the CONGLOMERATE. It
is my profound desire that all be done to
correct this deplorable and needless practice.

Thank you for the chance
to speak my mind,

Katie Avery

Editor's Note: Jeff Daiell' s interview with
Glen Williams (see Speaker's Corner) probably
is the cause of Katie's complaint. I have
found no evidence to prove any facts in the
article to be untrue. TIC

A WINNER SPEAKS

To the Editor:

I want to thank everyone who voted for
Pete Matter. It is good to know that a write-
in can beat an unopposed candidate. I will
try to do my best for my "entire" class and
the school.

'LEERY' CAN'T SWALLOW OWSLEY'

To "Bill Owsley":

Do the 650 students who didn't attend
Forums 19 March possess some mystical powers?
I suppose that they didn't go because they
already knew the speaker would be "unappeal-
ing." Must be great to have such powers

Dr. Meredith turned out to be a fantastic
speaker. That only 56 students attended the
Forum does not indicate that the speaker was
unappealing or that the Senate was wrong in
their judgment. It does indicate that the
majority of students, for all of their yell-
ing, really don't give a damn about attending
events they have paid for.

Why don't you at least give things a
chance?

WHO WATCHES THE WATCHDOG?

by Jeff Daiell

r

"Abstain from all appearance of evil."
--I Thessalonians 5:22

The words of St. Paul have been the theory,
if not the practice, of American politics at
least since the beginnings of this century.
Judges are popularly expected to decline to
hear cases in which they have a personal in-
terest, and legislators are expected--and
often legally required- -to abstain on matters
in which they are involved. This is known as
the "conflict of interest procedure," and is
so imbedded in American political morality
that the Center for the Study of Democratic
Institutions, in Santa Barbara, California,
included in its proposed new Constitution for
the United States a completely separate branch
of government to deal with elections .

This is not the practice at Centenary.
This election sow Glen L. Williams III, a mem-
ber of the elections committee, on the ballot
running for male Senior Senator; and Denny
Reedy, also on that committee, Sunday night
become a write-in candidate for Senate Presi-
dent. Pam Sargent once waged a write-in cam-
paign while serving on the same committee.

Neither Glen III nor Barry Williams, chair-
man of the Elections Committee, found this
unusual. The decision, said the Chairman,
was his. He added that the frequency with
which members also became candidates meant
that disqualifications from membership for
that reason would leave a skeleton crew on
the committee. Glen noted that running for
office was his privilege, one not infringed
upon by his position on the commission. He
stressed that he had abstained on all votes
during the recent election period and had
made but a few comments. And, yes, he would
be counting votes --but not in this race.
[Editor's note: Whatever the opinions, Glen
certainly gained little. He lost in his race.]

While Barry mentioned that "people have
been riding us all week" about the dual in-
terests of some members of the body, Glen
seemed to find it preposterous that any would
look askance at the double appearance of his
or any other name on the ballot and on the
committee roster.

And Sinclair Lewis is no longer with us...

1HE CONGLOMERATE

WHAT CHRISTMAS PRESENTS?

Jack f n the Bush are in the Christmas
spirit and realized there are only 222 shop-
ping days left. We decided to write our let-
ter to Santa early.

Dear Santa,

We are treated and act three years old and
are very good. Give us a Mattel Hot -Rod Ra-
cer, a baskit [sic] ball, a big Erector set,
a book, a Mr. Wizard science kit, and please
let little Johnny drop dead.

P.S. Give Centenary a bunch of new students
that want to learn and are rich. Help every-
one realize that students should be represent-
ed on all important committees of the college,
even on the Board of Trustees. We don't want
to run the school, but want to be a responsi-
ble part of it. Committee membership in
power positions is the kind of practical "re-
sponsibility" which should be taught at Cen-
tenary.

Remember: Students do well the things they
feel they can do well .

Scott Joplin Tribute
Set in Texarkana

The twin cit ies - -Texarkana , Arkansas, and
Texarkana, Texas --will pay tribute to a native
son Sunday as part of their centennial cele-
bration .

The recipient of the honor is Scott Joplin,
father of ragtime, who was bom in Texarkana

charge .

The performing pianist will be 82 year old
John Vanderlee of Fort Worth, who has studied,
collected, and played ragtime most of his
life. A narration written by his wife, who
has researched the life of Joplin, is a part
of the program.

Honored guests at the concert will be Jop-
lin's two nieces in Texarkana, Mrs . Donita
Fowler and Mrs. Mattie Harris; and a nephew,
Fred Joplin of Marshall, Texas. It is also
hoped that another niece, Mrs. Kthel Brown of
California, will be able to attend.

The concert on April 8 will be a part of
the twin cities' Centennial Week, which opens
on April 7. Churches will have special obser-
vances on Sunday morning, and the afternoon
program will be the ragtime concert and an
art show at the College.

The Texarkana Historical Society Museum
is open Monday through Friday from 10 to 4,
and on Sundays from 12 to 3.

Nobody Knows Why

Folk music, blues, and rock are in the
backgrounds of the four young men who will
appear here this weekend at the coffeehouse.
These four young men call their group Fried
Chicken and Watermelon. Nobody knows why.

Joe Smothers and Michael Coleman were per-
forming folk music until the group was formed.
Tom Ross was a solo blues artist with a great
deal of rock experience, and Clay Buckner,
who wasn't doing much of anything, joined
the group anyway.

Fried Chicken $ Watermelon have played
many college concerts and coffeehouses, and
have appeared with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band,
Goose Creek Symphony, Doc Watson, and the
Earl Scruggs Revue.

From the Blue Ridge Mountain area of North
Carolina, the group plays songs giving a feel-
ing of the mountain ways of life, drawing
from the members' backgrounds and from such
contemporary artists as Crosby, Stills, Nash,
and Young.

A Michigan Tech reviewer said, "I loved
the bluegrass and banjo pickin'. They are
excellent musicians and funny on stage."

Fried Chicken and Watermelon will perform
at 8 p.m. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights
in the SUB.

Santana

Announcement

The Interfaith Student Group will have
a speaker from NOW (Nation Organization
fcr Women) at its next meeting on Sunday,
April 8, at 6:00 at the Canterbury House.

reviewed by Mary Oakland

What would you say if someone offered you
two free tickets to Santan.i in exchange for
a review of the concert? (Keep in mind the
fact that you've never done this sort of
thing before.) When this happened to me, I
naturally grabbed for the tickets. I also
naturally expected to love the concert after
hearing songs like "Black Magic Woman" and
"You've Got to Change Your Evil Ways."

So much for high expectations...

I actually enjoyed Bobby Womack and Peace,
the first group, better than Santana. With
a good trumpet, sax, and guitar background,
Bobby sang everything from slow blues to
'V^eet Carol ine. M

Then, Santana. I must admit that Santana
had a very effective beginning. They an-
nounced that after a moment of silent medi-
tation, they would play continuously for two
hours. By "continuously," they really meant
" continuously ." It was very difficult to
tell where one song ended and another began- -
very much like a jam session.

The quality of their music was definitely
higher than Bobby Womack' s; yet due to the
fact that it was mostly instrumental, it
seemed better suited as background music for
a party than as a concert. Admittedly, the
drums were very good, and Carlos Santana was
at his usual level of excellence on the
guitar.

The approximately 1 ,000 people who were
pressed to the stage throughout the entire
concert would obviously disagree with me that
Santana' s appeal is declining. Nevertheless,
the next time I'm offered two free tickets
to review a concert, I'll think before I jump.

THE GRATEFUL DEAD: EUROPE 72

reviewed by
Bill Yenne/AFS

This is a Dead album of a certain special
significance to me, as their European tour
last spring coincided with my own. We were
in Paris when they were in Copenhagen; we
were in Munich when they were in Amsterdam;
we were in Amsterdam when they were in
Munich; etc.

Our paths sort of criss-crossed the con-
tinent, never actually meeting. Listening
to this album, I'm subtly thankful. "There's
nothing like a Grateful Dead concert," the
liner notes tell us (between ads for t-
shirts and fan clubs), but there are a lot
more interesting experiences to be had in
Europe .

This album is a disappointment. It's one
of those cases where a three record set could
have been made into a much better single disc
package .

The music, for the most'part, is jerky and
monotonous. It rolls from side to side with
no high points, no interesting riffs or tex-
tures. The drums are continually out of time
with the rest of the band, almost as though
the drum tracks were recorded separately and
randomly miss -matched. Audience reaction,
which normally enhances the dimension and
excitement of a live recording, is completely
edited out of this one. It leaves one with
the impression that this is either a bunch
of studio jams, or that the 3 or 4 people who
came to each of the concerts sat in the back
row and fell asleep.

The Dead are as much a myth (good ol f
Grateful Dead/West Coast goodtime boogie -band)
as they are a band. The folder of pictures
included in the package gives the impression
of staid olde Europe getting a shot of rock'
n'roll from America's top hip band. In real-
ity Europe, particularly the North, where the
Dead toured, is a whole lot hipper than most
of this country. Paris or Amsterdam, for
example, are' easily as hip as San Francisco.
(There are a lot of good bands over there
too- -bands we don't hear over here as they
can't get work visas to tour this country.)

On the good side, Jerry Garcia 's guitar is
incredible throughout. The band itself
scores much lower although Elmore James' It
Hurts Me Too and Ramble On Rose on side tHree
are particularly listenable. Jf ten minute
version of Morning Dew on side six is also
worth noting.

Dead freaks will be happy that, on the
whole, the album is expertly recorded and
produced. However, if the man with the
scissors, instead of cutting the applause,
would have cut the set down to a single disc,
the album would be a lot better for it.

ENGLAND'S ANSWER

TO THE GRATEFUL DEAD

reviewed by
Greg Shaw/AFS

Chances are that Brinsley Schwarz is some-
what less than the most common name around
your house, but this state of affairs is not,
I hope, destined to last much longer. They've
come so far in just their last two albums
that stardom in the near future seems inevi-
table.

They're one of the top groups on England's
pub circuit. English pubs already closer in
atmosphere to a Berkeley rock club than an
American bar, have lately added live music
and become the regular gathering places for
people who want to drink and listen to rock

in congenial surroundings. Brinsley Sdiwarz,
more than any other band, seem to express
this feeling in their music.

They are, in many ways, England's answer
to the Grateful Dead or the Band, to whose
music there are obvious resemblances. The
overall sound is laid-back, yet solid and
deep like pitchers of beer on an old oak
table. No phoney Youngbloods mellowness here!
Influences range from country through vintage
rock and the Beatles, New Orleans R§B and
Memphis rockabilly. Running through it all
is an unmistakable thread of mythic imagery,
all those peculiarly American cultural images
that always seem to strike a basic chord in
most of us .

It's kind of odd for an English group to
be dealing with these themes, but there's
nothing new about British kids being fasci-
nated with America. As long as they can do
it and sound authentic, more power to 'em.

Brinsley Schwarz have been around for four
years and as many albums now. Their first
two, rather ordinary country-rock, were
scorned critically after their publicity
firm, Famepushers, succeeded in creating
skepticism through its excessive efforts.
The firm went bust, the group hocked their
banks of Marshall amplifiers, and retreated
to a communal cabin somewhere in rural England
to, as they say, get their thing together.

They also picked up a couple of new mem-
bers, and enough of a cult following to keep
them going long enough to record their third
album, Silver Pistol , which, for all its
blatant derivations, was still quite excel-
lent. Like that album, their new one,
Nervous On the Road (UA 5647) , was recorded
in theirliome, and the resulting looseness
makes it one of the most fun albums I've
heard all year.

My favorite song here is "It's Been So
Long," which would make an amazing single.
It sounds a bit like the Beatles, or is it
Buddy Holly? Actually it's what I imagine
the Beatles must've wished they could do
with the Buddy Holly influences they worked
more crudely into their early songs. In-
fectious is an overworked word so I won't
use it, but I don't know what else you
could call this song.

Their Grateful Dead side comes through

on "Happy Doing What We're Doing," which is
their "Playing in the Band," I guess. It
expresses their attitude as well as anything
I could say. "Happy doing what we're doing/
happy doing it right/ and we'll keep on doing
what we're doing/ long as the feeling is
right/'

Brinsley Schwarz have stated publicly
they don't care if they ever become super-
stars, and if they do they hope it's not for
another 10 years or so when their music will
have matured. Such was the case with Cree-
dence Clearwater and the Band- -groups they
plainly admire. It may take that long and
it may not, but if you ask me I can't see
how they could possibly get any better.

The Playhouse lawn didn't care for the
Kappa Alphas' prank at first, but the idea
sort of grew on it. Above, from left: Rick

New Car Gizmo

(AFS)--A new type of carburetor for auto-
mobile motors has been developed by the Ger-
man firm Siemens that is supposedly unharmful
to the environment. This development should
overturn all previous ideas about cars. The
new "split carburetor" turns low octane, lead
free gasoline into a "combustible gas nearly
devoid of harmful elements." Carbon monoxide
emission is reduced to 1/16, and nitrogen emis-
sion to l/35th of that of standard carbure-
tors. The unbumt exhaust mixture consists
totally of "environmentally compatible" meth-
ane gas. At the present time, Siemens is
negotiating with the major car manufacturers
as to the economic utility of the invention.

According to a company spokesman, the
revolutionary aspect of the new "split carbu-
retor" is that, unlike other ^rburetors, it
does not spray the gasoline.. A catalyst- -a
chemical agent which, by its presence induces
chemical reactions --instead splits up the
gasoline by a process not specified by the
spokesman, and turns the gasoline into a
gaseous form. This gas consists primarily
of methane, which is not deleterious to the
environment. Existing motors could, theoreti-
cally, be outfitted with this new carburetor
which is no larger than the old types. How-'
ever, in order to achieve the same power, it
would be necessary to have a larger cylinder
capacity or the use of a compressor.

There have been no estimates so far as to
the price of the "split carburetor." However
it is assumed that it can be just as economi-'
cal as present carburetors.

Parish Named State's Top Freshman

Centenary's Robert Parish was a unanimous choice as "Freshman of
the Year" on the Louisiana Sports Writers Association 1973 All-Louisi-
ana Collegiate Basketball Team announced Saturday.

Parish was joined on the first team by USL's hot-shooting guard
Dwight Lamar, Louisiana Tech's 6-11 center Mike Green, Northwestern
State University's Vernon Wilson and Xavier sophomore Bruce Seals.

Lamar and Green were unanimous first team selections and were named
co-winners of the 'Outstanding Player Award." Parish was named to the
first team on all except one ballot.

Dale Brown, coach of the LSU Tigers who were picked to finish last
in the Southeastern Conference in preseason polls but surprised every-
one by finishing 9-9 and fifth in the league, was named "Coach of the
Year." LSU compiled a 14-10 overall record.

Top vote-getters on the second team were USL's Roy Ebron and LSU's
Eddie Palubinskas. Ebron and Palubinskas narrowly missed being named
to the first team. Other second -teamers were Grambling's Aaron Jones,
McNeese State's Edmund Lawrence and Southeast Louisiana University's
Charlie Jones.

Lamar, certain to go high in the pro draft next month, was a major
college All -American for the second consecutive year. He averaged
29.8 points per game while leading the Ragin' Cajuns to the Midwest
Regional tournament in the NCAA playoffs. Lamar ended his four-vear
college careers with 3,493 points, only the second player ever to
score over 3,000 points in a career, for a career average of 31.3
points per game. Twenty -seven times the 6-2 guard scored over 40
points in a single contest.

Green was earlier named the "Player of the Year" by the Associated
Press on its college division All -American team. Averaging 30.9
points and 15.7 rebounds for Tech, he was named "Outstanding Player"
in the Southland Conference. Green played against Centenary- in Shreve-
port when the Bulldogs defeated the Gents 88-76 to claim the Mid-South
Classic championship in December.

THE BEST FIVE BASKETBALL PLAYERS in the state

are Robert Parish (above), named "Outstanding
Freshman," (top to bottom, right) Mike Green
(Louisiana Tech), Vernon Wilson (NSU), (bot-
tom, left to right) Dwight Lamar (USL), Dale
Brown (Coach, LSU) and Bruce Seals (Xavier).

Parish was the top rebounder in the state (and third in the nation)
with a phenomenal 18.7 per game. "Big Bob" also scored 23.0 points
per game, and "rejected" (blocked) 114 opposition shots over the
course of the season. Parish set seven new Centenary records, includ-
ing a scoring high of 50 points against Lamar University in only his
seventh varsity game and rebounding mark of 33 against Southern Miss-
issippi .

Seals, called "the best sophomore in the state" (what about Leon
Johnson?) , led Xavier (New Orleans.) to the NAIA national tournament
for the second straight year and was named the AP's NAIA national team.

Wilson was the first Northwestern player to ever average more than
20 points a game over a career. The 6-3 guard averaged 19.9 ppg dur-
ing his senior year and was also named to the NAIA All -American team.

Coach of the Year Brown directed the Tigers to several upsets this
season, including victories over Memphis State (who lost to UCLA in
the national championship game), Tennessee and Alabama.

This year's LSWA team averages 6-foot-? in height and 128.7 points
a game.

Thunderchickens Scratch TKE

The Thunderchickens survived a cold-shoot-
ing first half and staged an early second
period surge to rumble past TKE I 29-27 to
claim Men's Intramural basketball champion-
ship Wednesday night in the Gold Dome.

The taller TKE's took an early 4-0 lead
and led 10-6 midway through the first half
before the Thunderchickens finally tied the
game for the first time at 10-all with 4:44
to plav in the opening half.

The 'Chickens .usually a running and gun-
ning squad of sharpshooters, couldn't get
the fast break untracked in the early going.
They were getting good shots, but the tough
TKE defense was making it hard for them, and

Netters Top LeToumeau

LONGVTW, Tex. -Centenary- College blasted
LeTourneau College 9-0 in a dual tennis match
here Thursday.

The Gent netters won all of the six singles
and three doubles matches in this , the third
meeting of the year between the two schools.
Centenary- also won the first two matchups.

Rick Clark of Centenary took care of Tim
Lindstrom 6-3, fr-4 in the No. 1 singles match,
while the team of Calvin Head and Jim Morris
defeated Lindstrom and Dick Acklev m the top
doubles match. That duel was 3 three -set
marathon, going 3-6, 7-5, 6-2.

This week, the Gent tennis team travels
to Beaumont, Tex., for a match with Lamar
University on Friday, an to Nacogdoches, Tex.
for a match with the Stephen F. Austin Lumber-
jacks on the following day, and ending the
road trip Monday in Magnolia, Ark. against
the Southern State College Muleriders.

Five

the shots just wouldn't drop.

A flurry of steals in the closing minutes
of the first half enabled the 'Chickens to
move out to a 15-12 advantage at intermission.

In the second half, it was almost no con-
test. The Thunderchickens came out smokin'--
and hitting, scoring seven points before TKE
could break its scoring drought.

The Thunderchickens led by as much as ten
(22-12), but the TKE's chipped away at the
lead and pulled to within one at 28-27 with
1:18 to play on a flurry- of long lumpers by
John Typaldos. But Steve Hergenrader, who
ended up high point man for the 'Chickens
with 12, sank the front end of a one-and-one
with 1:11 to play and the 'Chickens held on
to win. Steve Guier stole the ball from the
TKE's in the closing seconds as they were
working for a possible game- tying shot.

In the third place game, Sig I defeated
the Faculty 48-46. Andy Carlton had 15 and
Bob Cooke 14 to pace the winners. Dr. Brad
McPherson had a game-high 20 in a losing ef-
fort for the Faculty.

There will be a Men's Intramural Council
meeting Tuesday night at 7:30 in the Gold
Dome. Baseball and tennis rosters are due
at that time.

Tech Wins Golf Tourney

Louisiana Tech took top team honors in the
Eastwood Fairways Collegiate Invitational
golf tournament with a team total 303 Monday.

Tech beat out a four -team field that in-
cluded Centenary (318), Northwestern (313)
and Southern State (Ark.) College.

The Bulldogs* Ken Nicklas took medalist
honors with a 73.

Wave Rolls Past Gents

Rain, rain- -where is it when you need it?

The Centenary baseball team was rained out
Saturday in New Orleans and the scheduled sin-
gle game against Tulane University was re-
scheduled for a Sunday doubleheader.

But the Gents probably now wish that it
would have rained Sunday too, because they
were held to only two runs in 14 innings of
baseball, dropping both games of the twin
bill by 5-1 scores.

The Gents had scored 36 runs in the pre-
vious four games, but ran into probably the
best pitching that they had seen all year
against the Green Wave. Both of Tulane 's
pitchers, Tony Beaulieu in the opener and Ed
Bernard in the nightcap, went the distance
and combined to limit Centenary to only nine
base hits.

Centenary tied the game 1-1 in the fourth
inning of the first game when Perry Peyton
slapped a run -scoring single. The closeness
was short -lived, however, as the Green Wave
responded with a four-run outburst in their
half of that inning.

Dan Sparrow, who had the best record of
the Centenary pitching staff going into the
game, experienced control trouble and walked
15 Tulane batters. With the loss, Sparrow's
record stands at 3-2.

Centenary had a brief 1-0 lead in the sec-
ond game, as Jerry Peyton knocked in a run in
the top of the third. But again the Green
Wave used that as a springboard for one of
their four-run splurges, and added its fifth
score in the sixth inning.

Tracy Knauss took the loss for Centenary,
dropping to 1-4 on the season.

THE BUNNY IS DEAD

Jack in the Bush don't believe in the Eas-
ter Bunny but we have great faith in the bio-
logy beaver. Therefore, we can report that
the Beaver has hidden a $5.00 certificate
somewhere on campus. Clues to this treasure
hunt will be given today at 3:00 pm, 6:00
pm, and 9:00 pm in the Sub. The final clue,
if it is needed, will be given Friday at the
break. (Sorry, CONGLOMERATE staff and friends
are ineligible.') Sponsored by the "Jack 'n
the Bush" duo and the CONGLOMERATE .

Remember: "The best plan is to keep the stu-
dents busy in purposeful activity."

THE CONGLOMERATE

April 12, 1973

So great was the response at Centenary to
the transcontinental meat boycott that Doc
(E.J.) Williams made no meat purchases last
week, rather using a textured vegetable pro-
tein substitute. Following the boycott, Doc
may very well be forced to continue intermit-
tent use of the product, sometimes solo and
sometimes in combination with "real" flesh.
Calorie-counters will rejoice, however:
while the beef substitute has virtually the
same amount of protein, it has just over half
the calories --and less than one-sixth the fat
--of ground beef. Vitamins and iron are usu-
ally in greater supply, as well. That boy-
cott, by the way, has already motivated Grand
Union, Inc., America's #10 grocery concern,
to drop meat prices an average ten cents per
pound.

After many years of abundant weeds and gen-
eral decay, spring has finally come to the
SUB garden. This is due to the donation of
approximately 100 rose bushes by the American
Rose Society.

According to President John Allen, the
roses were given in appreciation for office
space loaned to the Society by Centenary.
He referred to the roses as "a love gift from
them to us."

In an attempt to make the Shreveport area
the "Rose Capital," the Society is in the pro-
cess of moving their headquarters from Colum-
bus, Ohio to Shreveport. In order to "be in
step with their theme," President Allen said,
"We're going to try to have more roses on cam-
pus." He also mentioned the possibility of
putting flowers in the planters in front of
Mickle Hall.

Four kinds of roses were donated: Queen
Elizabeth, Pinocchio, Summer Snow, and Gold-
en Locks. Mr. H.E. Raney, Physical Plant
Manager, assured the CONGLOMERATE, "We won't
forsake them."

Once again the influence and power of the
CONGLOMERATE are made manifest. The same day
the CONGLOMERATE carried a cartoon criticiz-
ing Acting FBI Director L. Patrick Gray (FBI
Directors apparently cannot have first names) ,
Mr. Gray withdrew his name from nomination to'
the post on a permanent basis. And all this
time you thought the CONGLOMERATE could only
make or break Governors and Senators .

Caddo Parish school cafeterias will be
brighter during the Easter season due to the
efforts of Centenary's SLTA. This week Eas-
ter egg trees appeared in the cafeterias of
Alexander, Barret, and Brook Street elemen-
tary schools.

Each tree is decorated with styrofoam Eas-
ter eggs and small baskets. Favors for the
children, such as jelly beans and eggs, were
placed in each basket. SLTA President Nancy
Norris noted that the trees were pleasant
additions to the daily breakfast programs.

Dr. W.F Pledger recently received a let-
ter from the mother of James Jones, Mrs. Wil-
lie Lee Jones, Sr., and he asked Maurie Wayne
to print the following portion of it in the

March 21— April 20

faculty newsletter:

Although James cannot be the recipient
of his forthcoming degree, I know he must
have known that his life would be recorded
as one that was worthwhile and useful in
spite of the illness which confined him
to the Hospital almost all of his life.

Please express our heartfelt thanks to
those wonderful young volunteers who spent
many hours with James, holding his books
or doing other things in aiding him in his
pursuit of an education. They gave so
willingly of their time and energy. They,
too, to a large extent will share a part
of James's degree.

Representatives from the New Orleans Re-
gional Veterans Administration office (termed
"a fouled-up office" by the editor, who hasn't
received his GI Bill since December) will be
manning a mobile van assistance office at two
spots in the Shreveport -Bossier area next
week. Veterans interested in such benefits
as pension, compensation, education, home
loans, insurance, or medical care, may con-
front the VA "specialists" on Monday, April
16, from 9 am until 5 pm at Shreve City Shop-
ping Center near the foot of the Barksdale
Bridge, and again on Wednesday, April 18,
from 8:15 am until 5 pm at the Heart o' Bos-
sier Shopping Center. And if your GI Bill
hasn't been coming, please try not to get
rough .

If you're in the area over Easter, there
will be two major sunrise services available
for worship.

The choir of the Noel Memorial United Meth-
odist Church of Shreveport has replaced the
Centenary College Choir for this year's Eas-
ter Sunrise Service at Hodges Gardens in Many
Louisiana. Dr. A.C. Voran, former Centenary '
Choir director who has led the popular ser-
vices since their inception in 1954, will
continue as conductor. The services are set
for 5 am, with gates open at 3 am.

The YMCA of Shreveport will this Easter
for the 33rd time lend its auspices to the
Lutheran Churches of Shreveport for the Annual
Easter Sunrise Service held on campus. The
pastors and choirs of all Shreveport 's Luth-
eran assemblies will participate in the ser-
vice, commencing at 5:38 am in Centenary's am-
pi theater, with the main speaker to be Dr
Walter Wolbrecht, President of the Lutheran
School of Theology in Chicago.

Ice and champagne, Centenary student
Robert J. Miciotto has discovered, won't cure

yellow fever, but they sure help in winning
$25 bonds. Miciotto won an award last week-
end from the North Louisiana Historical Asso-
ciation for his paper, "Shreveport 's First
Major Health Crisis," dealing with the yellow
fever epidemic that hit town in 1873. About
one tenth of Shreveport 's 8000 citizens died
in the epidemic, failing to cure the disease
with folk remedies including use of ice and
champagne. The town did survive, y'know,
thanks to some experienced fever -fighters'
from New Orleans who came up to help quaran-
tine the city.

Born: Tina Angelina Cangelosi, 6 lb.,
2 1/2 oz., at 8:18 am April 3, to the pro-
prietors of Leatherhead Department Store.
Baptism will probably be held at St. John's.

Better than the circus! Better than the
fair! Better than Last Tango in Paris ! Fri-
day, April 27th, the Louisiana Constitutional
Convention rolls into town. That is, as em-
bodied in the Chairmen of its several commit-
tees. They're holding two sessions at the
Convention Center, from 2 to 5 in the post-
noon, and from 7 to 9 that eve, at which any-
one may testify. There probably won't be

another one for fifty years, so don't miss
it now!

Gas Light Players
Announce Auditions

The Gas Light Players of Shreveport have
made a major change in their format of pro-
ductions. Rather than a full season of only
melodramas, the summer theater will produce
only one melodrama, a musical revue, a vin-
tage comedy, and a comedy of Shakespeare.

For the benefit of students of the Shreve-
port-Bossier area, Robert Lightsey, 1973 Pro-
ducer/Director, has slated a general audition
on Easter, April 22, at 7 p.m., and the fol-
lowing Monday, April 23, at 7 p.m. in the
Gas Light Playhouse on the Louisiana State
Fairgrounds. Students will be auditioned
for all productions, with special emphasis
on the first show. Other auditions will be
held for the individual shows.

The productions for 1973 are: "Charley's
Aunt," June 8, 9, 15, and 16; "Vaudeville
Americanna '73," directed by Sophie Sands,
June 29-30; "The Drunkard," July 13, 14, 20,
and 21; and "A Midsummer Night's Dream "
August 17, 18, 24, and 25.

Hie rehearsals for the shows will be as
follows: May 1 start for "Charley's Aunt";
June 10 for 'The Drunkard" and July 15 for
"A Midsummer Night's Dream."

Actors, singers, dancers, and technicians
are needed with or without talent for the

THE CONGLOMERATE

WILLIAM EVERSON AT FORUMS

Firmly Planted in
the Primal Ozooze

by John Wiggin

Talking with William Everson is quite an
experience. I had the opportunity to hear
him lecture on the nature of the poet and his
work in a couple of English classes on Monday
and Tuesday. I also spoke with him on the
steps of James Lobby in an informal discus-
sion. Though I did not gain a great bodv of
academic knowledge from Everson, I do feel
that through his rambling speech he provided
me with insights into what it means to be an
artist.

The artist stands deep in the pond, said
Everson, his feet firmly planted in the pri-
mal ozooze" of the bottom, while the rest of
the world drifts on the surface. This "pri-
mal ozooze" is the substance from which all
creativity stems. It is here, said Everson,
that true art begins.

Everson spoke of what his life has been
like as one deeply immersed in the "primal
ozooze." As a high school student, he rea-
lized that his life would be centered about
music, art, or literature. After one semes-
ter at Fresno State, though, he dropped out
of college and ventured home. An agonizing
period followed with his father pushing him
to go out and go to work. Everson returned
to Fresno. There he encountered the poetry
of Robinson Jeffers. This, Everson believes,
was the breaking point at which he attained
the insight to become a poet. He left the
school and returned not to his mother, but
to nature, to write poetry and become a
farmer.

In 1951 Everson entered the Dominican Or-
der. It was while he was in the order, he
said, that his poetry became famous and his
identity as Brother Antoninus was formed.
For nineteen years he remained as the poet-
priest. But on December 7, 1969, Everson
left to marry a twenty- two year old woman.

Throughout Everson's dialogue was the idea
of polarity. His very appearance reflected
this. His quiet voice and mild mannered way
contrasted vividly with the physical appear-
ance of a back -woodsman (He wears a necklace
of bear claws and a sheath knife.). We must
recognize the polarities which exist in life,
said Everson, such as the polarity between
male and female. Modern society, he fears/
is attempting to lessen the polarities which
exist in our society, e.g. bisexuality, in
order to make us interchangeable parts of a
large machine. "The system reduces us,"
Everson said, "to atomic particles." Living
a fulfilled life is impossible on such a
level .

In order to lead a fulfilled life, we must
reach down to the v r ery core of our being and

Page Three

discover our true vocation. All true voca-
tions, Everson believes, have a religious
vertical in the sense that they must ultimate-
ly go deep down to the roots of our existence.
•Vocation is the path to spiritual wholeness,
until your active energies are engaged, your
being is not yet whole."

On the vocation of a poet, Everson said
that the poet must make the basic and instinct
ual chime with the basic melody of the entire
race. He must reach down to the very core of
his being into the '•primal ozooze," and be-
come an interpreter for mankind. Great poe-
try, said Everson, is determined by this rad-
ical adhesion to the most basic roots of our
existence, and by the ability to express that
which is instinctual.

Everson's rambling, pre-occupied manner
sometimes makes translating his concepts rath-
er difficult. The same though, is true for
art in general. Somehow I get the feeling it
would be an injustice to attempt to rational-
ly comprehend everything Mr. Everson had to
say.

Operation Brainstorm
Appoints Committees

by Sherl Washington

With last Thursday afternoon's meeting in
James lobby on the grading system, a first
list is now complete of educational system
grievances. They concern freshman orienta-
tion, curriculum, grading, and student par-
ticipation in faculty issues.

Thursday's meeting was centered on Cen-
tenary's present grading system. Apparantly
some students are dissatisfied with the pres-
ent system of evaluation and would like to
see it changed. But from the discussions
that arose, the majority present seemed to
find the system satisfactory. Of those seek-
ing change, the majority wish to have a grade/
no credit system adopted. Under this system,
an A, B, or C is recorded and credit is given
for the course, but grades of D and F are
not recorded, and the student must take the

course over and receive an A, B, or C.

The disadvantages of the no credit system
include an increase in the amount of time in
college and additional money paid to retake
courses. One proponent of the system, Joe
Allain, pointed out the advantage that one's
transcript will never show any D's or F's.

Another alternative proposal was a per-
centage point system introduced by Pat Norton
whereby one does not receive letter grades >
but numerical grades such as 93* (equivalent
to an A) , 92% (equivalent to an A-) , and etc.
Jeannie Moore opposed this system because of
the over -exhaustive competition the system
brought when it was used in her high school.

Bill Bergmann suggested a rating system
of very good, good, bad, and poor in order
to eliminate the idea of grades with letters
and numbers. Dr. Kauss interjected that it
all means the same regardless of what you
call it. Bill also suggested taking a series
of tests at the end of one's schooling to de-
termine if one has learned what should have
been learned. Imagine cramming in your
. senior year over work taken in your freshman
year! So much for alternatives.

The clincher of the afternoon came when
the group decided that the committees that
they must go through to adopt new systems
and take them to the colleee administration
are almost non-existant . If the committees
are no longer in existence, as was submitted
by one of the group's members, then Gentlema n-
ly Speaking should be brought up to date, and
it they are in existence and not functioning
then someone should see about reappointments
to the committee positions.

In the meantime Operation Brainstorm has
formed its own committees to look into the
problems involving grades, student and facul-
ty issues (content of courses, evaluations,
etc.), orientation, and curriculum:

Grading Committee: Mike Griffin, Jack
McCunn, Cece Russell, Sue Ezzell, Jay Rey-
nolds, Sissy Wiggin, Janet Sammons , Pat Nor-
ton, Dr. Charles Lowrey, Randy Oakley.

Student Participation in Faculty Issues
Committee: John Wiggin, Jess Gilbert, Pau-
line McCracken, DeLane Anderson, Sherl Wash-
ington, John Hardt.

Student Evaluation of Faculty Committee:
Jim Haas, Paul Overly, Jay Reynolds, Glen
Williams, Bill Bergmann, Randy Oakley.

Curriculum Committee: Jim Haas, Betty
Blakely, Katie Avery, Dr. Theodore K'auss ,
Mary Hibbard, John Wiggin, Jeannie Moore.

Orientation Committee: Sherl Washington,
Paul Overly, Joe Allain, Rusty Vaucher, Ann*

Warren Levingston, Bill Bergmann, Eddy Miller
Glen Williams.

WEEKLY MAIL

SANTANA DEFENDED

To the Editor:

While I do wish to congratulate Ms. Oak-
land on her objectivity, I do disagree with
her review of Bobby "Womack/Peace -Santana.
If she expects a concert to be merely a repi-
tition of album performances, let her listen
to albums (in all fairness, I do realize she
wasn't offered free records). They did play
several numbers found on albums, although
the arrangements were radically altered. I
also take exception to her characterization
of Santana 's continuous performance as 'touch
like a jam session." Jam sessions are often
aimless, with instruments being played at
cross purposes; Carlos Santana and his six
co-performers were not playing at each other
but with each other. The concert's format
is experimental for rock, and it does have
some disadvantages. If one doesn't under-
stand the music, it could become repetitious,
as it obviously was for Ms. Oakland. She did
admit that Santana 's music was of better
quality than Womack and Peace; she is to be
credited for that. However her evaluation
of Santana as background music leaves much
to be desired; may I presume that she would
consign Beethoven's first eight symphonies
to a similar status?

Alternately, I would like to offer some
comments on the concert. Bobby Womack and
Peace played slick, professional brassy blues -
rock. They were competent but to me, unex-
citing. Carlos Santana's style and the group
have undergone drastic alteration. There is
still heavy Puerto Ri can/Caribbean influence,
especially in the energy level; any group
that can play for two hours has got to have
energy. It is difficult to describe the soar-
ing, almost spiritual, quality the music had;
I felt transported, as though Hirsch Coliseum
had become a vessel streaking through the cos-
mos. It wasn't the best concert I've ever
attended, but by no means was it as disappoint-
ing as our reviewer would have us believe.

WHERE POLLY WENT " N -A

To the Editor:

Polly Morgan Griffith and a couple of
others are listed twice in the directory be-
cause they married between Fall and Spring
registrations, and then registered with the
same I.D. numbers at Spring registration.
In order to correct the alphabetical listing,
they were assigned new I.D. numbers and all
records were changed accordingly. However,
when we tried to delete the old I . D .• numbers ,
the computer blew a disc (which means reload-
ing everything beginning with before registra-
tion) . Rather than risk blowing a second
disc, it was decided to leave well enough
alone and these people can be found in the
directory according to their married and
maiden names .

THANKS AND APOLOGIES

To the Editor:

I wish to express my sincere thanks to the
many people of the college who assisted me in
various ways during the recent spring meeting
of microbiologists from the South Central re-
gion. Centenary was host (or hostess, as in
alma mater) to about 120 academic and clini-
cal microbiologists. In spite of unfavorable
weather, responses to the meeting itself and
college facilities have been highly favorable.

For the several pre -meeting arrangements
recognition is due Steve Holt, Robert Ed Tay-
lor, Charles Hickcox, and the support of our
maintenance staff. Apologies are due Mark
Dulle and Don Danvers for their respective
class relocation and noise inconveniences re-
sulting from last minute changes. Next time,
I'll know better.

Finally, to those dedicated student -aides
--Barbara Bethel 1, Debbie Nickens, John Water-
fallen, Charles Leach, and Ronnie Gaertner--
goes much of the success of the scientific
sessions. Their efforts outshined the rest.

Sincerely,

RECRUITING OVER BREAK

To the Students:

As you leave the campus for a short break
from your studies, I would like to remind you
of a very real service you can perform for
our College. I am asking that you encourage
your friends back home to give serious con-
sideration to attending Centenary College if
they are still looking for "the college of
their choice." Warren Levingston and his

CASEY LOOKS FORLORN

To the Editor:

The outlook wasn't good as I faced the bench
that day;

The Plaintiff and I had said our piece, with

little left to say.
But with a fair, impartial judge, I felt my

case was best---
The hope that springs eternal, within the

human breast.

I had one final witness , and Casey was his
name ;

And as for truth and honesty --why, that was

Casey's fame!
But the judge pre-empted Casey, and would not

let him speak,
' While Plaintiff, that most loathsome beast,

let out a giggling shriek.

When next I looked the judge had raised his
gavel high,

And 'tween he and the Plaintiff, a wink went

eye-to-eye.
And when I next looked closer, to see what

caused the fun,
I almost fainted, for the judge and Plaintiff

both were one!

It has been said, "It all depends on just

whose ox is gored,"
Or as it's said in baseball, "On just which

team has scored."
Not every case that comes around in which

the judge may be
A holder of an interest dear will come out

fishily.

"lorn,. and hangs
:ed interest is

But still, as Casey looks

his head, depressed,
I wonder if a judge with \

the best.

That is, should a candidate who's running for
the Senate

Be on that small body that says who can be

in it?

Somewhere in this bayou land, the sun is
waxing bright,

And somewhere folks are cheering and reaching
Joy's full height.

And somewhere there's no questioning of any-
body's game,

But that does no good for Casey: judge and
Plaintiff were the same.

Centenary on Trial

by Tom Marshall

Well, it's over. Or maybe it's only be-
ginning. It all depends on your point of
view.

Technically, the last witnesses were heard
last Thursday in the suit of five Centenary
basketball players against the National Col-
legiate Athletic Association (NCAA) , but the
decision of Federal District Judge Ben C.
Dawkins won't be forthcoming for at least six
weeks .

Late Thursday in the federal cc i
room in downtown Shreveport Dawkins adjourned
the proceedings after instructing attorneys
for the plaintiffs to file their brief (the
summation of their case and arguments) within
three weeks, after which the defense lawyers
will have three more weeks to answer with
their brief.

In the interim, another related case- -the
appeal of Centenary College to the NCAA--
comes before the NCAA's appeal board April
29, 30 and May 1.

A total of eight witnesses were heard
during the last session- -three of the plain-
tiffs (Rick Jacobs, Robert Parish, and Jerry
Waugh) and five defense witnesses. Appearing
on behalf of the NCAA were: Carl Maddox, ath-
letic director of Louisiana State University;
athletic director Raymond Didier of Nicholls
State; Claude Simons, former Tulane football
and basketball coach and present chairman of
the Sugar Bowl Executive Committee; Walter
Byers, executive director of the NCAA; and
David Berst, an NCAA investigator.

Jacobs, Parish and Waugh each testified
that he had chosen Centenary over other
schools, wanted to continue going to and play-
ing basketball for Centenary, liked Centenary
College very much, and in fact could not at-
tend without the aid of athletic scholarships.

Parish, the center of the controversy stem-
ming from alleged violations of the NCAA's
so-called 1.6 rule, took the stand at 10 o'-
clock Wednesday morning. Robert, a soft-
spoken young man of 19 who apparently prefers
to do his talking on the basketball court,
laughed obligingly at all the little jokes
about his size as he tried to squeeze" into
the witness chair. He winced a little when
Dawkins reminded him of the two missed free
throws in the Houston game, but never lost
his cool as first his attorney, John Galla-
gher, and then defense attorney Art Carmody
fired a barrage of questions. As Gallagher
tried to establish that Parish had actually
been offered scholarships by schools other
than Centenary. Carmody objected, saying,
that no schools had done so in writing. "No,
agreed Robert, "they cajne and told me in per-
son."

Later, Carmody asked Parish if it was true
that coaches of Indiana State had come to him
and said something like, "We'd love to have
you, but there's no way we can give you a
scholarship with your grades the way they are.'

"Right," replied Robert.

But at that point Dawkins interrupted (as
he did often throughout the trial) and com-
mented, "One thing that rubs against the
grain as far as the sheer humanity is con-
cerned- -and this isn't to reflect on Robert
or his parents- -is that here is a boy who
came from a disadvantaged situation and led
by adults to believe he has a great future.
Then he is slapped with this thing [the pro-
bation] and three days later the NCAA, by
pangs of conscience or whatever, liberalized
the rule for others just like him."

After the last player testified and the
plaintiffs' attorneys rested their case, Car-
mody filed a motion to dismiss based on the
following contentions: (1) The federal court
has no jurisdiction in this matter in that
the plaintiffs have not shown irreparable or
probable injurv and an athletic scholarship
is not a federally protected right; (2) The
"Mitchell Case" shows that competition in in-
tercollegiate athletics is a privilege and
not a right; and (3) On March 23, the Supreme
Court in San Antonio, Tex., has shown that
education is not a federally protected right.

In rebuttal, Gallagher noted that the is-
sue in this case is whether or not the 1.6
rule is constitutional. "The face of this
resolution [the probation] hangs over these
young men like an ax every day, waiting to
fall," pointed out Gallagher in behalf of
the five Gents.

The testimony then moved to the defense

witnesses, all of whom tried to establish
that conversion tables, such as those alleged-
ly used by Centenary, were expressly prohibit-
ed and that Centenary was aware of this.
Berst testified that memos dated July 11,
1969, and October 31, 1969, and sent' to all
athletic directors and faculty representa-
tives, "expressly prohibited conversion
tables." Furthermore, Berst stated that Cen-
tenary President Dr. John H. Allen, in Jan-
uary of 1971, certified that Centenary was
complying with the 1.6 rule.

But the star witness for the defense was
Byers. First (and only- -since 1951) director
of the NCAA, who said that the organization
"...never had an institution before that,
when advised that conversion was inadmissable ,
went ahead and did it." Byers added, 'My im-
pression was that they [Centenary] ignored
pre-enrollment warnings completely." With
all of this, however, Byers insisted that the
NCAA was not penalizing the players, but only
the school itself.

It was later brought out that the five
student -athletes have no right whatever of
appeal to the NCAA. Dawkins expressed some
concern as to the significance of that with
regards to the constitutional rights of the
five plaintiffs. "If they can't appeal," he
opined, "they may suffer a possible loss of
monetary gain and a right to get an educa-
tion."

Throughout the proceedings, attorneys for
the plaintiffs continued to emphasize that
the interest of their clients, not the pos-
sible violations of the school, was their
main concern. That led Byers to comment,
"He [Parish] has greater options to go to
different institutions today than he had com-
ing out of high school." Byers added that,
in similar cases where the student -athlete
was apparently guilty of no wrongdoing, that
the NCAA transfer rule (requiring some loss
of eligibility) had been waived, implying

that the same could be done in this case.

."I'd be inclined to agree with you," of-
fered Dawkins, "if that applied to all five
of them."

Those five- -Robert Parish, Jerry Waugh,
Rick Jacobs, Dale Kinkelaar and We'lton Brook-
shire- -along with the NCAA, will find out how
Judge Dawkins is "inclined" in six weeks.

Senate fcefcont

by Debby Detrow

There was an unpublicized Senate meeting
held in the. Sub Tuesday, April 10. One topic
which was discussed by the new Senators was
the possibility of placing an enclosed bulle-
tin board somewhere on campus. Another topic
involved a Senate Retreat which will be held
Saturday, April 28, at Caney Lake. The lack
of further information is due to the fact that
the CONGLOMERATE reporter was told there was
to be no meeting April 10.

STATEMENT FROM RICK CLARK

To: The Editor
From: Rick Clark

Re: Senate Meeting (your term) of 4/ JO

As you know the Senate by-laws state the
old senate must remain in office for 15 days
after the election of new officers. This is
to enable the Senate to hear election committee
recommendations (in the case of someone con-
testing an election) . your so-called Senate
Meeting today was not a Sena te Meeting . I
called the new elected council together to
discuss plans, which had to be made definite
today, of tha. Senate off campus conference .
We "touched on" a few items that will be dis-
cussed in the Senate Meeting of 4/24. Please
reflect this clarification in YOUR editorial

HOPE "SPRINGS" ETERNAL AT M.L.P.

After losing three straight annual soft-
ball games to the Choir, some teams might
give up. But not the Rivertowne Rats of Mar-
jorie Lyons Playhouse. The challenge has
been made and the game is scheduled for Sun-
day, April 29 at 2 pm. If the game is rained
out it will be played the following day.
This year, the Rats will be tough to beat.

Player-coach Don "tee-willie" Belanger is
back from last year's team and is optimistic.
Of stalwart second -baseman Bob "watch the
holes" Hickman, Don says, "Dis guy's got- all
de tools." Returning at shortstop will be
professor C.L "four-eyes" Holloway. Other
returnees include catcher "Jolly" Joe Allain
and a host of female outfielders.

The newcomers include Dan "the man" Chris -
taens of Helena, Montana, little league fame;
Rusty "in the street again" Simmons; Debbie
"flash" Hicks; Guy 'there's practice" Benja-
min; and a host of male outfielders. •

To the Choir:

"If you show up alive,
We'll take you in five..."

. . .Rivertowne Rats

All you smokers
who plan to quit
someday:

The Chi Onegas congratulate Cindy Buckner
and Mary Jo Trice for winning their senate
positions. They are also proud of Barbara
Bethell, Emily Bruning, and Gayle Fannon for
walking 20 miles in the March of Dimes Walk-
a-Thon and Virginia Bost and Donna Veatch for
walking in it too. The Chi O's are happy for
Christie Ulrich, who won a music competition
last Saturday. The sorority congratulates
the new Alpha Xi Delta officers.

The Shreveport Chi Omegas will be working
with their alums Friday, helping them give an
Easter party for Wilkinson Terrace. They
wish everyone a great Spring Break and a Hap-
py Easter.

Next Chapel Speaker
To Discuss Satanism

Rosemary's Baby : was it just an unusual
way of creating suspense? Or is Satan-wor-
ship becoming a significant phenomenon in
America and the world? Discussing these and
other aspects of the occult will be Dr. John
P. Newport, the Chapel speaker for April 26th.

Dr. Newport is Chairman of the Department
of the Philosophy of Religion at the South-
western Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft.
Worth, and visiting Professor at the Depart-
ment of Religious Studies, Rice University
in Houston. He has lectured in India, Thai-
land, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, and Japan.

Dr. Newport, author of Demons , Demons , De -
mons and Theology and Contemporary Art Forms ,
will speak on the entire spectrum of occult

An Easter for Man

It is Spring. And Spring is the season
of rebirth, of new life. Long -asleep trees
are once more bursting into the radiant song
of outstretching foliage, with every new leaf
shouting a bouncy, upbeat greeting to exis-
tence. Flowers are exploding into a glorious
chorus of color, and the song of joyous birds
is heard from every lush-green hilltop.

And, of course, the mystics are once more
deluging us with their wild tales of dying -
and-reviving gods, having- -at least temporar-
ily- -substituted Jesus for Adonis. Their
constant prattling about their mystic creeds
and ant i -Life precepts is enough to make one
wish Christ had prescribed a communion of
hemlock rather than of wine. And if not hem-
lock, then at least Geritol.

But the mystics do offer us a context, and
there is no reason why the lovers of Man and
of Life should not use that context, and beat
the mystics at their own game.

What is needed, then, is an Easter for Man.
A new Life. A new beginning. A new birth.
First, though, as we are using the context
provided by the mystics, something must die.

Faith must die. Faith is a complete ab-
dication of Man's identity, the sole sustain-
er of His existence as Man: His mind.

Altruism and sacrifice must die. Humility
and self-effacement must die. They are the
weapons by which moral bullies and emotional
brutes subjugate and murder unaware innocents;
they are the thieves of achievement and ad-
vance, and reason.

Force must die. Force is the reactionary
use of Man's animal elements to override that
which makes Man Man: the human brain.

Hatred of either the mind or the body must
die. St. Paul has launched millions of human
beings into war with themselves by condemning
the body; Karl Marx has defrauded some five
generations by disdaining the mind. Idealiz-
ing either ghost -Man or robot -Man is hideous-
ly evil and must not be.

Then it will be time for Man's Easter.
It will be time for the emergence of a Man
dedicated to His sole sustainer: human rea-
son. It will be time for a Man which will
love Life and loathe Death, who will look at
the Earth, not as the mystics' "veil of
tears," but as the area suited to Him, and
to which He is suited; He will look at the
Earth and say, as Rational Man must, "It is
good--and I will make it better."

It will be time for a revitalized Ego,
when Man shall recognize the magnificence
and the wondrous power of the great word,
"I". It will be then that Man will seek
advancement rather than suicide, achievement
rather than sacrifice, accomplishment rather
than self-debasement.

It will be time for Man to marvel at the
pleasure which can be His from His mind or
from His body, and the time when He uses
either or both rationally and without guilt.

It will be time for a new relationship
among Men, with trade replacing pillage or
mendicance, when the splendor of Man's great-
est creation, the market place, will be fully
realized; it will be then that Men will deal
with one another on the basis of merit rather
than muscle, and Mankind's genius and creativ-
ity will be free to explore its heights, un-
restrained by unnatural bonds of force and
coercion.

All these are simultaneously the prerequi-
sites for and results of a human rebirth. It
is an Easter well worth working for.

THE CONGLOMERATE

Freeing the Woman
In Every Man

by Samantha Hill

(Dallas) --There are two approaches to Wo-
men's Liberation. According to Susan Sontag,
they are the "Reformist Approach" and the
"Radical Solution." The first works with the
idea that "one can pursue, through legal
means, change in the status of women that,
will change the legal rights of women." The
"Radical Solution" is that ultimately the is-
sue isn't equality, it's power. "You can't
say 'women and children first into the life-
boats' and also be senators. Look at who
runs the government .. .Women participate in
shamefully small numbers. There are no wo-
men in the Senate. . .Women don't live in the
home, they live in the world."

Susan Sontag, author and critic, was speak-
ing to the 525 women and 75 men delegates at
the Women's Symposium at SMU in Dallas, at
which Dr. Viva Rainey and Mary Oakland repre-
sented Centenary, on April 5-6.

In the evening of the first day, Rev. Wil-
liam Sloane Coffin, Yale University Chaplain,
discussed the two Biblical creations. In the
first chapter of Genesis, man and woman are
created equal and simultaneously. In the sec-
ond chapter, woman is subjective to maru
lf Why have we always accepted the second cre-
ation?"

Describing himself as a "reluctant convert"
(to Women's Lib), Rev. Coffin said he was all
for developing a pill for men and legalizing
abortion or punishing men equally for promis-
cuity. Getting further into this men's side
of Women's Liberation, he said that menhave
to "loose the feelings they so long have sup-
pressed." They must "love back into being
their so-called feminine qualities."

His wife, Harriet Harvey Coffin, shared
her idea that there is an intimate relation-
ship between male supremacy and war. It was
partly the male ego that forced Nixon to re-
peatedly bomb North Viet Nam until he could
say he "won the war."

There was a panel discussion between the
Coffins, Ms. Sontag, and David Alvirez, a
sociologist, on Friday morning; and then
Eleanor Holmes Norton, chairman of the New
York City Commission on Human Rights, spoke.

Ms. Norton felt that black women weren't
nearly so oppressed as white women because a
greater percentage of the black women were
heads of households and were in the labor .
force. Consequently, one woman in the audi-
ence asked her why black women were involved
in the Women's Lib movement if they weren't
in conflict with men, to which Ms. Norton
replied, "Women's Liberation is not about
fighting men." It's a movement to help free
both sexes, she said. Or, as Rev. Coffin
said, "The woman most needing liberation is
the woman in every man."

White Circle Picked
For 'Desire' Promos

Agreement has been reached between Robert
Buseick of Desire Under the Elms (to be shown
at Marjorie Lyons Playhouse May 3rd through
5th and 10th through 12th) and White Circle
Enterprises concerning on-campus puhlicity
for the production.

White Circle, in return for certain adver-
tising grants, will conduct the pre-show pub-
licity campaign through a variety of media,
not limited to the traditional printed post-
ers. The campaign, which began last weekend,
will continue until the final performance.

Desire is the story of conflicting loyal -
ties and passions in a tense and internally
hostile family of the countryside of the
1850s. Written by Eugene O'Neill, perhaps
America's greatest playwright and certainly
her greatest tragedian, it has been hailed
by many as modernity's closest approach to
classic Greek tragedy.

White Circle Enterprises, which has done
much publicity work for the Student Senate
and the Student Activities office, is de-
scribed by co -proprietors F. and J. James as
a firm "dedicated to propounding and expound-
ing the idea that life is to be enjoyed."
The group is available for other publicity-
work.

A student who has as many as three examinations scheduled for the same day may
be given the privilege of taking one of them at another time.

Mahavishnu Lays Down
Progressive Music in
Dallas Appearance

by John Gover

Those who went to see Leon Russell last
Saturday night in Ft. Worth missed one of the
greatest musical experiences of this year by
a mere 20 miles. At the same time Leon was
boogying in Ft. Worth, in Dallas the redoubt-
able Mahavishnu Orchestra was displaying in-
credible and enlightening new dimensions in
progressive music.

With cold lightning flashing from his bi-
furcated guitar, John McLaughlin lead the
Mahavishnu Orchestra through a flurry of
frenzied numbers which seemed to evoke an al-
most religious -experience in the audience.

Ihe Mahavishnu Orchestra, which cut two
of the most stunning and original albums ever
by a small group, are blazing new directions
in the development of progressive music.
Lead by John McLaughlin, who was named top
guitarist in Downbeat ' s recent reader's poll,
the music of the Orchestra is an incredible
synthesis of jazz, rock, classical, and In-
dian soul music.

John, via England, has evolved from super
sideman, deliquescing in Miles Davis' spooky
In a Silent Way (probably the most innovative
album in progressive music since Sgt. Pep -
per's) , to displaying his aeronautics and
heading the finest musical machine in the
world, the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Joining
him are Rick Laird on bass, Billy Cobham on
percussion, Jan Hammer on keyboards and
Moog, and Jerry Goodman, originally with the
Flock, on violin.

McLaughlin, attired in his customary all
v/hite outfit and wearing a locket with a pic-
ture of his spiritual mentor Sri Chinmoy,
began the concert with a moment of meditation.
Surrounded by a colossus of amps, the Orches-
tra opened with the highly energetic title
cut of their latest album, Birds of Fire .
Cobham ritualistically banged the gong that
marked the beginning of the number and the
energetics and ferverishness did not cease
for nearly two hours. McLaughlin, exhibiting
his power as an instrument of God's will, dis-
played much of the religious intensity in his
playing as the late ^reat John Coltrane.

Hammer's histrionics on the moog (an in-
strument on which he has to be one of the
most explorative and talented around; yes,
even better than Emcrsonl seemed to set the'
mysterious background for a series of scintil-
lating upper- register runs by McLaughlin and
Goodman. McLaughlin and Goodman seemed to
propel each other to amazing emotional and
religious heights. Cobham displayed fright-
ening virtuosity and strength on the drums

THE CONGLOMERATE
and Laird's funky bass playing was felt
throughout the evening, and was finely dis-
played in a long solo run.

The music produced that night, their live
performances greatly eclipsed their recorded
efforts, proved that the Mahavishnu Orchestra
is probably the finest musical machine in pro-
gressive music. They have not only taken the
rock idiom to its limits, and surpassed those
limits, but represent a future direction for
the development of progressive music.

To describe the music of the Mahavishnu
Orchestra, the words of McLaughlin's spriit-
ual mentor of Sri Chinmoy are most apt:

Drunk Deep of Immortality,

I am the roof and boughs' of a teeming vast.

My form I have known, and realized,

The Supreme and I are one-all we outlast.

OKIE FROM TULSA

by Bill Yenne

This album seems to take as its theme, the
interesting paradox that both Leon Russell
and Merle Haggard are from Oklahoma. Which
is okay, as Leon seems to have a lot of fun
with redneck Haggard's Vm proud to be an
Oak ie from Muskogee , with which he opens the
album.

Leon opens: "We don't smoke marijuana in
Muskogee...", which is met with an immediate
burst of applause and laughter. Then he
postscripts it by explaining that it was for
Richard Nixon, who "is from this part of
town." The song, with its beer guzzlin',
flag wavin' patriotism is one of Nixon's
favorites. Needless to say, Leon isn't.

The album was recorded live at the Anaheim
Convention Center on December 11, 1970 by
someone in the audience. As a result, the
sound quality is not the best, and the fact
that it was recorded two years ago dates it
considerably. But, in the latter case, one
should note that its release coincides with
the release by RSO Records (Robert Stigwood
Organization Ltd.) of the live Eric Clapton/
Derek and the Dominos album, that was record-

WHfft "DID YOU W IN StoL TWl ) U&R T
WBLF*5T bfcW Ktt RWEKVGttTO, THEN

f E\AJ NtAffiS WQtfc

\

ed three months earlier. All points consid-
ered, Oakie from Tulsa seems to have been
better served by the aging.

Despite the technical weaknesses of the
recording, .the music comes through well, mak-
ing for good rockin', beer guzzlin', listnin'.

He follows the opening cut with Bob Dylan's
Girl From the North Country , and that with a
powertul version of it Takes A Lot to Lauph ,
It Takes a Train To Cry . The latter being
another Bob Dylan song he had at that time
just recorded for his second Shelter album,
and for which he was to play bass behind Dy-
lan's vocal at the Bangla Desh concert the
following summer.

The middle of the set sees Leon introduc-
ing his own Stranger In A Strange Land , which
he follows with another of his own classics,
Hummingbird . By this time he is loosened up
and the plot is sufficiently thickened for
some hard rockin ' .

Side two is dominated by rock § roll, from
Slippin' and a Slidin' through ('This is a
rock'n'roll song from back in the fifties")
Jerry Lee Lewis' Great Balls of Fire , with
which he jams the concert to a close.

This record will probably he as hard to
come by as marijuana in Muskogee, but I guess
the rarity helps to heighten the effect. If
you are able to come by it, it might help
make up for the glaring lack of an official
live Leon Russell album. And if you are into
Leon Russell as a master performer, even if
you don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee, you'll
be able to slip and slide into this disc.

Book Review

Source Catalog: COMMUNITIES, HOUSING
The Swallow Press
S295

BERKELEY, Calif. (AFS)--If this is
the first book you read on housing, it
is sure not to be the last. The Washing-
ton, D.C., collective that wrote it
has assembled an exhaustive, easily
readable guide invaluable to casual
students and experienced organizers
alike.

This handbook is the second in a
series of politically relevant source-
books, which will later include Education,
Healthrights/Medibiz, Ecology, and others.
(The first, Communications , appeared three
months ago.) Comun i 1 1 es /Hous i ng repre-
sents some new concepts in book publishing
in its methods and its goals; to get
scientific, comprehensive information in
its political perspective to the people
who need it most. It could almost be
called a Whole Earth Catalog for the
subway rider.

Ccmmun i t ies /Hous ing is simple to
follow, even though its information is
often complex. The writers start with a
real-life problem, such as tenant rights;
they analyze it in its context, discuss
what various community groups can do
about it and where they can get the
resources to do it (such as films and
publications). Finally, they cite what
other groups have done and how well
they've fared.

Obviously, this book will have more
than one use to different people: it
is both a manual for commuiity organizing
and a revealing social document. It
actually tells how housing happens--
where it comes from, how it gets built —
and for whom, and who profits.

THE SILENT EXECUTIONER

Roderick wore the Duke's levery and worked
in his Lordship's castle, but he was no ordi-
nary soldier. He was neither compelled to
stand the watch atop the high and stormy ram-
parts , nor to roam the manor at harvest time
collecting taxes from the serfs, who could
hardly afford an egg let alone the hen which
laid it. He served no member of his Lord-
ship's family as bodyguard, fought no wars
and took part in no official ceremonies.

Roderick, you see, was the Duke's execu-
tioner, and deep within the castle, amid the
dungeons for prisoners and cellars for wine,
day in and day out, year after year, Roderick
plied his grisly trade.

A new executioner is a commodity seldom
required in the Duke's castle, so that in-
structors of fledgling soldiers do not custo-
marily keep an eye out for youths who might
be suitable in that role. But several months
after Roderick entered his training at the
castle, the contemporaneous executioner was
was discovered by the Duke to be corruptible,
and was himself summarily executed.

Roderick's selection to fill the unexpected
vacancy was, however, not accidental. During
his training this ox-like youth had in no way
exhibited a flair or aptitude for the martial
arts. And though he seemed abundantly strong
and obedient, Roderick was not deemed quali-
fied even for guard duty inside the castle
(it was a matter of policy not to place the
slower and uglier of the soldiers at the im-
mediate disposal of the noble ones) .

Receiving the job of executioner was ,
therefore, fortunate resolution of Roderick's
needs and fate. Holding such a secure posi-
tion in the castle guaranteed him the things
of material survival while sparing him the
backbreaking labor of the fields he did not
love. Moreover, had he remained an ordinary
soldier of no particular worth, his lot
would most likely have been grim and brief,
shoveling excrement in odorous marshes 'till
he died in the first infantry charge of the
next foreign war.

Dull as he was, Roderick was not unaware
of these facts, and thus entered his new role
without reservation. A certain aura of re-
lief encompassed him those first weeks behind
the executioner's mask, as he was now removed
from the pressures of having to achieve of
perform. Severing a man's head from his body
was not hard to do with a twelve-pound axe,
and no superior was watching over his shoul-
ler to be displeased should the cutting be
messy. When there were no executions to per-
form, Roderick spent his workday cleaning his
chopping block and honing his blade. He was
not expected to keep his uniform clean or his
boots shiny, and no one looked beneath his
mask to observe if he was shaven.

Jokes were still made about him among the
serfs and soldiers previously acquainted with
his existence, but now ensconced deep within
the castle dungeons, he no longer heard their
laughter. In fact, there developed a tenden-
cy among the same persons to ignore and for-
get him, the morbidness of his vocation thus
further obscuring him from the taunts of his
fellow man.

The only drawback to Roderick's quotient
in the manorial division of labor manifested
itself in his second or third year as execu-
tioner, when he lost the capacity of speech.
No one can say precisely when this loss oc-
curred, for it was surely a gradual process
by which the horror of his job transferred
itself inside Roderick to become the absolute
anonymity of his heart and soul.

Little reason existed for this change in
Roderick's life to attract attention or con-
cern, for after all, who wished to speak with
him and about what? No serf ever felt the
chopping block so remote from his own circle
of fate that he could converse lightly with
the man who stood above it. Roderick's fel-
low guaids by and large neither saw him nor
wished to. A sergeant from the castle above
would, from time to time, come to inform him

about a pending execution, nothing more, and
the condemned persons had few questions on
their lips once they appeared at Roderick's
feet. The awful anonymity of death became a
cloak about his life, a barrier, a chain,
which he no longer sought to break. Yet, one
day, after nine years' service as the silent
executioner, fate dealt him a gratuitous blow.

The Duke was engaged by the King to under-
take a diplomatic mission abroad, hence his
eldest son was granted the oppportunity of
lording over the castle in the Duke's absence.
More anxious to flaunt his newly enhanced
authority than to broaden his manorial exper-
tise, the son immediately conducted a long
and circuitous inspection of the castle, over
the course of which he descended to the dun-
geons and Roderick's workbench.

Not once in the entire nine years of Rod-
erick 's gory tenure had the Duke himself made

this somber journey; thus had Roderick pre-
viously been spared the tragedy of errors
which now took place. Having reached the
dungeons, the son questioned the executioner
about his duties; receiving no reply, the
noble youth became quickly infuriated and de-
manded that Roderick respond. And when still
Roderick made no answer, he was placed in
chains to await the Duke's judgement.

The morning of his trial it became audible
in Roderick's mind that he would have to talk
to live, that his only chance for mercy from
the Duke was to speak the words of a beggar
and penitent. He set his tongue against his
teeth like a farmer closing his shoulder with
a mighty rock , grimly attempting to plow
speech through his silence -encrusted lips.
But each word he sought to sound fell back
into his heart, like the heads of his victims
tumbling from the block.

HAVE AN OOBE!

OOBEs or out-of-the-body-experiences are
part of the folklore among drug users, medi-
tators, and occultists (who usually call it
astral projection) . To -experience a second
body distinct and separate from the physical
body is both exhilarating and very scary.
Yet, these days, wherever there is a new
world to explore, there are people exploring
it. And it seems quite possible that what
LSD was to the sixties, OOBE will be to the
seventies .

The most solid evidence of this new ex-
ploratory thrust is a book by Robert A. Mon-
roe, Journeys Out of the Body (first published
in 1971 by Doubleday, and now out in paper-
back) . Charles Tart , who has studied Monroe
and other OOBEers in his laboratory at U.C.
Davis, says in his introduction to the book,
"Robert Monroe is unique among the small num-
ber of people who have written about repeated
OOBEs, in that he recognizes the extent to
which his mind tries to interpret his exper-
iences, to force them into familiar patterns.
Thus his accounts are particularly valuable,
for he works very hard to try to 'tell it
like it is. '"

So how is it? Well, Monroe, who was a
successful television producer in Virginia,
with a family to raise, had his first OOBEs
quite spontaneously. In 1958, while he was
lying in bed on a Sunday morning trying to
take his customary snooze while the family
went to church, he felt strange vibrations
moving up and dovvn his body. Later, at night,
in bed with his wife, he felt the vibrations
again and then a new experience- -finding him-
self floating around the ceiling looking
down at his wife and "another man" in bed.
The other man turned out to be himself. The
whole thing was immensely scary. He thought
he was going insane. His doctor provided no
help, but luckily a psychologist friend told
him that yogis, mystics, and occultists claim
to get out of the body and travel to all
sorts of places and planes. That was some
help, at least he wasn't the only one. But
the experiences kept happening, the trips
becoming longer and stranger. Somehow he was
able to keep his head above water, and take
careful notes. After more than a thousand
trips, he talks about going to three kinds
of places, which (to avoid occult overtones)
he calls Locale I, Locale II, and Locale III.

Locale I is the ordinary world, but "seen"
"heard" and "felt" (tasting and smelling are
at a minimum) by the Second Body, as Monroe
calls it. You can look down at your body and
soar around the room, and into other rooms,
right through walls. It may be significant
that Monroe was an avid glider pilot when he
began OOBE tripping. Anyway, he says soaring
out of the body beats the thrills of soaring
in a glider. He seemed to be able to go, not
anywhere he wished, but to any person he
wished, if he knew the person. This sort of

thing can be verified up to a point, but it's
frustrating. Like the time he, in his Second
Body, pinched the side of a businesswoman
friend of his in a distant location. He even
conversed with her. But she could not remem-
ber any conversation with him on that date.
The experiment would have been a zero had it
not been for a large brown -and-blue mark on
her side. "Was that you?!"

Locale II is more like the dream world ex-
cept that you're awake in it. There, Monroe
says, "Reality is composed of deepest desires
and most frantic fears. Thought is action,
and no hiding layers of conditioning or in-
hibition shield the inner you from others;
where honesty is the best policy because
there can be nothing less." it is heaven and
hell or anything else you can imagine. Sex-
ual encounters can be both casual and pro-
found. It can be like shaking hands, but at
the same time you are merging your whole body
with that of your partner- -a total body or-
gasm. You can also get raped. Or scared out
of your wits.

Locale III is weird in a different way.
It is ordinary, like Locale I, but it seems
to be a different civilization from ours (and
not a past or future version either). Monroe
thinks it may be a kind of anti -matter world.
He experienced this world through a series
of trips in which he found himself momentari-
ly occupying the body of a person there.
"The only explanation I can think of is that
I, fully conscious of living and being 'here 1 ,
was attracted to and began momentarily to in-
habit the body of a person 'there' much like
myself." After a few of these experiences,
which were very unsettling to the person
"there", he successfully resisted going there
any more.

And there are other Locales, for which the
data is too meager or confusing to provide
much of a map yet.

Laboratory confirmation of OOBEs is very
sketchy, mainly because it is not usual ly
attempted. Tart, who studied Monroe witn
slight success, got his best evidence from
another OOBEer, a woman, who was able to read
numbers placed high up on a shelf. But, in
her case, he has not been able to rule out
telepathy.

Also, although those who experience OOBEs
say they are absolutely certain that they
will survive physical death, there is no logi-
cal necessity for this conclusion to follow
from their experience. After all, their phy-
sical body is alive throughout the OOBE.

For those who want to take the OOBE trip,
Monroe furnishes detailed instructions on how
to do it. His book is probably the most re-
liable OOBE manual around, and there aren't
many. His experiences make clear the risks
involved, but also provide ways to cope with
the risks.

To explore the unknown is always dangerous.
Yet, apparently, the unknown accessible

through OOBEs has a new improved map*. ■'

Dateline: CENTENARY-

NCAA —

Creature,
Or Monster?

by Tom Marshall

AND THEN WALT SAID...

"The NCAA is a creature of the colleges. "

Walter Byers, the firsthand only- -direc-
tor of the National Collegiate Athletic As-
sociation, made that statement, and he did
so under oath during the recent hearing of
the suit filed by five Centenary basketball
players against the NCAA. Under oath so it
must be true.

But what kind of "creature" is this NCAA?
It is supposedly a voluntary organization of
member institutions for the supervision and
betterment of intercollegiate athletics Re-
cently, though, this creature has given indi-
cations that it is becoming a monster that in
some ways is devouring its very lifeblood--
the student -athletes that participate in its
programs .

In his testimony, Byers said that the
NCAA's probation is not aimed at the players
at all -only at the institution. He further
stated that he feels that the probation is
not too harsh, in- view of the fact that the
athletes can play basketball at any other
NCAA member institution with full rights
(competition in post-season tournaments,
national television appearances, etc.).'
''In fact," said Byers, "the boys would pro-
*Z L?£ l0Se eli gibility at all since
the NCAA's transfer rule has been waived in
similar cases."

That's all real nice, but has Mr. Byers
actually stopped and realized the alterna-
tives that the organization he heads is of-
fering to Rick Jacobs, Dale Kinkelaar, Jerry
Waugh, Robert Parish, and Welton Brookshire*
Apparently not.

THE ALTERNATIVES

By saying they can play college basketball
anywhere in the nation except Centenary (un-
less, of course, Centenary wants to continue
playing indefinitely on probation- -which it
might very well want to do) , the NCAA puts
these five in the position of having to leave
the school that they really want to play at
and attend- -the school that they chose over
all others in probably one of the biggest de-*
cisions of their lives- -or play there with a
probation hanging over their heads.

"Robert has greater options to go to dif-
ferent institutions today than he had coming
out of high school," exclaims Bvers , obviously
trying to absolve the NCAA of its bad-guy
image that has developed among many Parish
(and Gent) fans .

Real good, Walt. And what about the other
four 0 Judge Hawkins was the first to say
what was on everyone's mind after Byers made
his statement about Parish. "I'd be' inclined
to agree with you," said Dawkins to Byers,
"if that applied to all five of them."

With all fairness to Rick, Dale, Jerry,
and Welton, they just don't have the ability--
or the potential -that a seven- footer like
Parish has. Sure, Robert could probably
go to anv school in the country- -and be wel-
comed with open arms. But what if all but
one of them could find another home 0 (which
is assuming that they even want to- -which
they apparently don't. Remember, it was
Kinkelaar who said, 'Nell, if I wanted to go
somewhere else I would have in the first
place") .

Moments after Byers ended his testiinonv
(in which he had emphasized that the indi-
viduals were not being penalized), I ran'
him down as he boarded the elevator and
asked him why Parish had been dropped from
the national statistics rolls when David
Thompson, a player for North Carolina State
(also on probation) appeared weekly. Byers
gave me a quick answer about institutional
probation and probation based on eligibility
(which he said applied to Robert). As the
elevator door closed, I realized that what he
said didn't make any sense (in view of his
testiniony) , but he was on his wav back to his
Kansas City office.

Just another example of the protection of
the student -athlete by the "Creature of the
Colleges"- -the NCAA.

Ken Ivy Named New
PE Dept. Director

Ken Ivy joins a long and admirable list
when he comes to Centenary for the 1973-74
school year as the new head of the health
and physical education department at Cen-
tenarv.

Ivy will replace current HgPE Director
Val Tucker, who is resigning to go into pri
vate business.

The long list that Ivy joins is the one
composed of basketball players that he
coached at Woodlawn and then came to Cen-
tenary for brilliant collegiate careers

merly toiled under Ivy's watchful eye wore
the maroon and white (and goldT) of the
Gents. Larry- Davis, Melvin Russell, and
Robert Parish all prepped under Ivy at Wood-

Ivy comes to Centenary after seven years
as head coach at the south Shreveport high
school. There his teams compiled a 215-57
record, winning state championships in 1968-
H and 1971-72. The Knights finished as
runners -up in 197Q-"! .

CENTENAPY SECOND BASEMAN Dave Olson leans in-
to a two-run double in the bottom of the
fourth inning of the second game of the Gents-
Ouachita Baptist doubleheader Wednesday. Cen-
tenary won the first game 8-1 and dropped the
finale 14-7.

The Centenary College Student Handbook 1973-74
reviewed by Jeff Daiell

One day Benjamin Franklin Everyone decided
to leave his home Flock, and make his nest
among the Centenary Flock, which lived near
a sleepy silver bayou not far from the Lake
of D'Artois. He was welcomed with open wings,
having been accepted by the Leader- -but only
after his name had been changed from Everyone
to Gentleman because, as someone near the El-
der-in-Charge-of -Nestlings said, "Centenary 1 s
not for Everyone. "

Quickly, Benjamin learned that there were
to be two determinant themes in his life: to
fly alone, and yet to love the Flock. It was
not easy for Benjamin Franklin Gentleman to
learn to fly alone; the Leader declared that
he must sleep with the rest of the Flock, and
eat with them, too, unless he coald prove
that he had an injured wing or beak. There
were multitudinous other rules, too, for Ben-
jamin to learn, not the least of which was
that he was not allowed to drink salt water
while he was with the Flock, and when he want-
ed to drink salt water he had to journey far,
far away.

Still, he told himself, it was not so bad;
at least he was a male. Had he been born
Bernadette Francina Gentleman, the Leader's
rules would have been even more confining,
with the Elders running nest -checks every
night, attempting to insure that there would
be no unauthorized layings of eggs.

And speaking of females, he thought, it had
certainly taken a great flapping of wings and
smacking of beaks to insure even partial pri-
vileges to visit the females on their side of
the. encampment , and vice versa; he hoped the
Leader would someday grow more intelligent in
his thinking and remove all barriers between
the two groups. But the Leader kept insisting,
M If the Great Auk had meant for males and fe-
males to visit one another, he would have
given them wings. M Nobody was quite sure
what exactly that meant, but if the Leader
had said it, it was surely The Truth.

So flying alone was difficult for Benjamin:
while all the Elders of the Flock stressed it,
their warnings and their rules made it very
difficult. At tines they talked so much a-
bout the latter determinant- -loving the Flock
--that they seemed to have forgotten the
first .

But Benjamin Franklin Gentleman continued
his efforts to fly alone, knowing that only
in that way would he be able to accomplish'
not only that first coal, but the second as
well.

Alas, another robbery. The CONGLOMERATE
stand in front of the bookstore has disap-
peared. As is common with most disheartening
events , it seemed wise to get a few comments
on the situation from the person- in- the -
street. Sissy Wiggin immediately shrieked,
"Oh no! That's tragic!" when she was told
the dismal truth. She later added, "I think
the thief should be castrated." She would
have agreed with Jess Gilbert who said, "I
think the culprit should be hanged, drawn,
and quartered." David Lawrence passed over
the matter lightly by saying, "It probably
blew away." However, Jim Hobbs proclaimed,
'There is no alternative but to make war on
Israel ."

On the other end of the sympathy spectrum,
Debbie Fielder said, "I think it's hysterical.

There will be a reward of extreme personal
satisfaction going to the person who recovers

sences. The remaining members of the old
Senate approved the elections.

The new Senate formally became active.
The new Senate advisor is' Dr. Kauss.

Epsilon Bootes Probe
Claims Lunar Orbit

by Angela Keyes Douglas/AFS
A space probe launched by an extra-terres-
trial civilization from the Epsilon Bootes
solar system, 103 million light years from
M Earth, may be orbiting the Earth at 170,000
miles, according to British astronomer Duncan
Lunan, a graduate of the University of Glas-
gow.

Lunan claims to have deciphered messages
sent by the Epsilonian satellite, one of
which reads as follows:

"Start here. Our home is Epsilon Bootes,
which is a double star. We live on the sixth
planet of seven- -check that- -the sixth of
seven counting outwards from the sun, which
is the larger of the two.

"Our sixth planet has one moon. Our fourth
planet has three. Our first and third plan-
ets each have one.

"Our probe is in the position of Arcturus ,
known in our maps."

The existence of the Epsilonian space
probe is a theory based upon studies of radio
echoes emitted from a previously unknown
source in outer space. These radio echoes
have been known since the 1920's, according
to radio astronomers, and a similar theory as
to their origin was advanced by Professor Ron-
ald Bracewell of Stanford university, a lead-
ing radio astronomer.

Lunan plotted these echoes on a graph, and
they formed patterns resembling the outlines
of known constellations.

However, they were slightly distorted.
Lrnan says that the distortion is because the
constellations were arranged differently when
the probe came into orbit around the Earth- -
about 13,u00 years ago, Lunan claims, about
11,000 B.C.

Epsilon Bootes is 103 million light years
from our solar system, thus it may have been
launched thousands of years earlier.

This would mean- -a la Space Odyssey- -that
an extra-terrestrial civilization had the

technology at least 13,000 years ago to send
a space vehicle 103 million light years a-
cross space, without incident, possibly drop
off a robot satellite in orbit around a plan-
et with primitive beings existing in it, and
go on, or the satellite itself might have
been a singular probe.

If more data is found to support Lunan f s
claims, it might be valuable to send a probe
to investigate or attempt to retrieve the
satellite and this is probably what will hap-
pen.

The British Interplanetary Society, a
highly respected association among astrono-
mers, is attempting to contact the probe with
its radio transmitters at the moment.

However, Professor Bracewell has some re-
servations and said that Lunan 's interpreta-
tion of the echoes may not be completely cor-
rect. Bracewell predicted, in 1968, that a
probe might try to contact Earth by sending
a map of the star constellations. Bracewell
said that the echoes exist as fact, and when
plotted by Lunan, create a very curious re-
sult, but could mean many things.
And as the world turns . . .

Is Normah a Fascist?

NEXT FORUMS SPEAKER

What's 32 years old, widely traveled, ad-
, dieted to fancy cars, suspicious of tradition-
al politics, concerned about environment, in-
volved in radical politics, dabbling in lite-
rary agentry, Vice-President of the Science

shows, expects life to get more complicated,
has been called both representative of his
generation and a fascist, and says he resists

Give up?

It's Norman Spinrad. You say you don't
know who Norman Spinrad is?

Well, to start, he's our final Forums
speaker this Spring, appearing somewhere on
the Centenary campus (details next week) some-
time on May 8th (again, details next week).

Aside from that, he's had five science fic-
tion novels published, including one, Big Jack
Barron, which was nominated for both the Hugo
Award and the Nebula Award, sci-fi 'dom's big-
gest prizes. Some forty of his short stories
have been printed, appearing in such period-
icals as Playboy , Analog , and Galaxy , and
his works have appeared in ten foreign coun-
tries , including two behind the Iron Curtain.
"Star Trek" fanatics, who seemingly abound in
Gentland, may remember his script, "The Dooms-
day Machine," for that show- -a script which
earned him another Hugo nomination.

Now you know what to reply when someone
comes up to you on th° street and begins
"What's 32 years old..."

A Visit from Saint Nicolas

There are still over 160 shopping days be-
fore Christmas, but this Sunday, April 29th,
the Centenary Music Department, in coopera-'
tion with The Genes ians and The Church of
the Holy Cross, will present An Afternoon of
Sacred Choral Music, featuring Britten's
"Saint Nicolas."

The Saint Nicolas Cantata, with text by
Eric Crozier, culminates the Afternoon, which
begins at three pm. The first performance is
Allegri's "Miserere" (Psalm 51), followed by
"This Have I Done for My True Love," by Gus-
tav Hoist .

Performing Sunday will be the Centenary
College Chamber Singers; members of the Cen-
tenary-Community Choral Society; and the
Children's Choir from Saint Joseph's School,
all conducted by William Ballard. The Canta-
ta is to be performed by The Genesians.

While most people associate Nicolas strict-
ly with Christmas tide, he was canonized for
deeds totally unrelated to the Mass of Christ.
The patron Saint of both children and mari-
ners, Nicolas was a Bishop of Myra, in Asia
Minor, during the 4th Century. Attending the
Council of Nicaea, he struck the founder of
the Arian heresy. Most of his work was con-
cerned with the poor and oppressed. Both
Russia and Greece hail him as their special
saint. In England alone, some 400 churches
bear his name.

Donation at the door is %\ i but students
and faculty can obtain tickets from the Mu-
sic Office at Hurley by presenting their IDs
either today or Friday between 9 and twelve
and 1:30 and 4:30. IDs will not suffice at
the door.

The Church of the Holy Cross is located

at 875 Cotton Street.

THE CONGLOMERATE

Page Three

Mary Jane Peace,
Fresh. Senator (Ret.)

by Mary Oakland

"The main problem of last year's Student
Senate was that the apathy in the student
body was reflected in the SGA." This was the
impression of 1972-73 Freshman Senator Mary
Jane Peace. Mary Jane decided not to run
for re-election this spring when it appeared
doubtful that she would be returning next
year. In a recent interview with the CONGLO-
MERATE, she discussed seme of her feelings
about the Senate.

In addition to apathy, she felt that com-
munication was one of the Senate's major
problems. "In fact, if I had not been a
senator, I would not have known what was
going on." When she was asked how the com-
munication lines could be opened, Mary Jane
agreed with the idea of publicizing the Se-
nate's agenda before each meeting, but added,
'That's still not enough... I don't really
know... You can't drag students to the meet-
ings."

When questioned about her involvement in
improving communication and apathy problems,
the ex-senator replied, "I didn't feel com-
fortable enough in that situation to do any-
thing about it." However, "If I had been
re-elected, I would feel more at ease."

Mary Jane did have a chance to change her
mind and campaign again in the last election,
but decided against it. "After I realized
who was running, I felt this Senate would be
able to get more enthusiasm going than last
year's." As an interesting sidelight, Mary
Jane was encouraged to run last fall largely
because of her unusual last name.

Autograph Party May 2

The Friends of che Centenary College Li-
brary will honor Sister Dorothea McCants with
an Autograph Party on May 2 to celebrate the
publication of her new book, an English trans-
lation of Rodolphe Lucien Des dunes ' Our Peo -
ple and Our History , L.S.U. Press, IT7T. Des-
duncs ' work was originally published in 1911
under the title Nos Hommes et Notre Histoire.
It describes negro life in New Orleans from
the negro point of view in the pre and post
Civil War years of the nineteenth century and
the continuing efforts of various negro lead-
ers to secure better living conditions for
their people.

What's That Lurking in My Ice Cream?

By Lois Pritzlaff/AFS .

It was a bright, crisp morning when it
happened. I was casually comparing the list
of ingredients on a box of breakfast cereal
and a package of dog food. Almost immediate-
ly I knew I'd been eating the wrong one.

Gastromania is the compulsion to know
what is in the food we eat. Never again can
I enjoy a morsel of meat without wondering
if I'm ingesting antibiotics and hormones,
and I'll always wonder if passing cars had
contaminated with lead the grain that the
poor beast had consumed.

My gastromania has led to long hours
spent reading the fine print on packaged
foods. It's made me a pest in the mail re-
ceiving rooms of food manufacturers , and
caused the local grocer avoid me. (He never
did tell me what he uses to shine his cucum-
bers.)

Never had I realized that so much food is
artificially flavored, colored, or embalmed.
Chemicals are added to keep ingredients from
combining or separating. Strange elements
are thrown in to keep products dry, firm, of
good texture, and free of foam. Certain
cheeses are even given chloromine I , to
keep them from stinking. Ah- -progress !

When I found that by eating a certain
brand of bleached white bread I would be im-
proved, matured, conditioned, emulsified,
and stabilized, and my mold would be in-
hibited, my disease began to worsen.

Then, the day I saw that my ice cream
carton contained no list of ingredients,
I became hysterical. My gastromania had
reached the crisis stage.

They promptly answered my inquiry about
this mysterious lapse of information, enclos-
ing a "fact sheet" concerning food standards.
Skimming through it, I soon perceived that
food standards had been developed for our
protection.

That still didn't explain why the ingre-
dients in ice cream are secret. Could it be
classified information? I continued reading.
At last- -a paragraph on the labeling of stan-
dardized foods!

"Artificial colors and flavors, and chemi-
cal preservatives must be declared on the la-
bels of all food containing them, except but-
ter, cheese, and ice cream." This rule, I
discovered, followed the infamous "standard
of identity"- -the FDA's definition of what
certain foods should contain. On some foods
ingredients must be listed on the package,
but never basic, mandatory ingredients.

I knew what that meant for me. Not only
would I feel forced to give up ice cream for-
ever, but I would throw my cheese to the mice
and use my butter to grease the doorknob (to
keep my roommate out) when a friend spends
the night.

Of course, I didn't doubt for a moment the
validity of the FDA's declaration that the
standard of identity is for our protection.
•Never would I entertain the notion that it
might also benefit big business. You see,
Food manufacturers don't waste their money
on lobbyists.' They subsidize the researcn of

mi

nutritionists who certainly would not allow
the source of their money to influence their
findings.

Yes, we are constantly bombarded by truth.
It was only my gastromania that forced me to
write to the FDA. They did (they really did)
offer to divulge the standard of identity for
anything at my request. But I decided to
bother them no more.

Instead, I went to the library to search
for the Code of Federal Regulations Title 21 ,
which contains the standards of identity.
As this still didn't solve the question of
which companies are exercising which options,
I am back to the letter writing.

Most food manufacturers will be happy to
tell you what is really in a certain product,
if you can manage to refrain from mentioning
that their product makes you sick. Address
your letters to their Consumer Service Depart-
ment (if you can find the address on the la-
bel.)

Should you become stricken with gastro-
mania, and wish to write a letter to the Food
and Drug Administration, their address is
Washington D.C. 20201.

Just tell them that you would appreciate a
complete list of ingredients on all food pro-
IIIIH due t s . The government never keeps any other
HI secrets from us so why shouldn't they tell us
s| what is in our food? It wouldn't be the first
== time we've heard bad news.

THE CONfiJOMERATE

Looking for a secluded bit of Americana not yet littered by
the weekend campers and commercialized by KOA?

If you are interested and have a day for leisurely driving,
take U.S. Highway 71 north to DeQueen, Arkansas, then turn west
on U.S. 70 to Broken Bow, Oklahoma. From there you have two
choices. You can cut across 50 miles of open road on state high-
way 3 to Antlers- -a lonely drive with little scenery save the oc-
casional country store and a few wold carcasses hung on fenceposts
to remind you that the ecology of the frontier rancher has not yet
been reformed- -then northeast on U.S. 271. Or if you want the
more scenic drive, turn north at Broken Bow on U.S. 259 till you
reach Big Cedar, then west on the new Talamena Drive down the Wind-
ing Stair Mountain into Talihina (pronounce it 'Tallahaney" if you
want to sound like a native), and head south on U.S. 271. The lat-
ter route is especially recommended if you go in the fall when the
leaves are turning (take your camera, even if it's an Instamatic) .
But either way, you want to get to Tuskahoma. That's the place.

Tuskahoma, Oklahoma: pop. 103 and declining; alt. 485 ft.
and steady; historic site, Choctaw Council House. Picturesquely
nestled in the heart of the rugged Kiamichi Mountains, Tuskahoma
was once capital of the great Choctaw Nation, and the Council
House has been restored if not modernized (two familiar outhouses
enhance the southern vista). If you go on Labor Day weekend, you'll
find several hundred real live Indians camped on the grounds peace-
fully celebrating their version of Independence Day. Tuskahoma is
much friendlier than Pawnee and Wounded Knee, maybe because the
Choctaws have soothed their resentments with Oklahoma oil. But,
^J* 01 ' the Council House is situated two miles north of town
and the local economy scarcely benefits from the annual celebra-
tion. You see, Tuskahoma itself is dying.

Forty- five years ago (when I was born in the place, incident-
ally) it was a thriving small town with a half- thousand inhabitants
--the busiest little metropolitan area in Pushmataha County (Chief
Pushmataha was my own great great grandfather, my mother confided
when I was old enough to appreciate the information --about four

decided to send him off, they had found him sitting in the store
counting dried beans which back in those days cam! in hundred

the big potbellied iron stove inside chewing tobacco, talking about
cattle, and spitting. I remember there was only one small badlv
tarnished and dented spittoon in the waiting room and I don't re-
member anybody ever bothering to empty it- -but it didn't matter
much because not many ever bothered hitting it. Some of the old
timers used to spit on -the redhot stove to hear the sharp crackle.
The phlegmatic ones just aimed toward the corners of the room.
Til swear that room had a special aroma which still lingers in
the ground even though the depot was torn down over ten years
ago. But long before then, the trains had stopped stopping, the
station master had locked up and moved away somewhere, and in-
evitable pebbles had broken all the windows so that, finally, the
only thing left to do- -short of razing the place- -was to climb
up and try to scratch out the name 'TUSKAHOMA." As I say it
was symbolic.

The depression had started the exodus. Those that couldn't
get jobs with the IVPA or CCC pulled out for California, impelled
by rumors that it was Shangri-La, and wound up in ugly places
like Barstow and Bakersfield. Then the War came along, and all
the rest of the young men left, and a lot of the older people like
my grandma (by then widowed by my grandfather, a country doctor
who'd worked himself to death dosing bilious kids, treating snake-
bite, lancing boils, pulling teeth, setting bones, and delivering
babies for everyone within a forty -mile radius) - -people like my
grandma- -patriotic and broke --went off to get jobs in war plants
(she worked for over a year in Oakland, pitching rivets in a ship-
yard). A lot of them forgot to come back home.

It has been a pattern in American culture, from Hawthorne's
Robin Molineux to Sherwood Anderson's George Willard, Fitzgerald's
young James Gatz, Thomas Wolfe's Eugene Gant, and Hemingway's Nick
Adams --forever deserting their village homes, running off to the
wars and to the big cities to make their fame and their fortunes.
I guess it has been the American Dream. But it is really the
American nightmare: rootless, dislocated, lost. For while the
despised "hometown' 1 was narrow, gossipy, ingrown, restrictive to
the point of suffocation, it was also a corommity and every mem-
ber had a place, an identity, a name--Jake Flynn (the village
blacksmith who had the meannest, dirtiest bunch of sons in town),
Billie Cleaton (who had a nosebleed one day in woodshop that lasted
over two hours), Wallace Hudlow (who dipped snuff so many years
he got cancer of the lower lip), Orus Leathers (the village bully),
Newt Hoosier (the village idiot), Pearl Jams (the ne'er-do-well
who drank and gambled and who fathered two wild daughters who were
the talk of the tcwn and who later made the big time in Tulsa).

Most of their houses are gone now or almost gone, abandoned
to the mice, snakes, weeks. But, curiously, the Methodist Church
is still standing, only slightly more decrepit than when I was
"saved" there to the full-throated melodies of "Amazing Grace"
by a traveling revivalist thirty -five years ago. And the bank
building is now the post office (which was broken into and robbed
last winter- -for what reason only God knows). A handful of old
timers are there, too- -tough, lea then- old people who endure by
grit and hard work. And my grandma is there, drawing her drinking
water from the same well she's been using for almost a half-
century. Sometimes I wonder if it isn't the Fountain of Youth.
She's ninety-one this August and has more vitality than most
of us half her age. She never complains and she is seldom idle.
She drives her cwn car to go visiting, berry -picking, and fishing.
And even when she sits watching her TV favorite, 'XJeneral Hos-
pital," she sews and knits. I can't help thinking there's
something symbolic in her activity- -mavbe even a lesson of some
kind.

And I think there's something worth hearing the distant
music that still whispers through the Tuskahoma pines and through
my memories at that vanishing era. If you have a day for leisure-
ly driving through the Kiamichis, maybe you will hear it, too.

Centenary's Upshaw Is Newest Astro

By Tom Marshall
Conglomerate Sports

Editor

(Bob Griffin Photo)
UPSHAW IN HOUSTON

. . . new home.

Cecil Upshaw, Centenary's only ex-athlete currently playing maior league
baseball, was traded for the first time in his professional career Saturday,
going from the Atlanta Braves to the Houston .Astros.

Upshaw signed with the Braves organization on March 3, 1964 after a
brilliant collegiate career in baseball and basketball at Centenary. That was
in the spring of Cecil's senior year, but he came back the following fall and
was awarded his degree in January of '65.

Upshaw reminisced about his playing days at Centenary in an exclusive
(DNGLOMERATE interview from the Astrodome Tuesday night.

"In basketball, one of my biggest thrills was when we beat South
Carolina in the Gulf South Classic," recalls Cecil. In that championship
game, the lanky Gent from Bossier City scored 31 points, hitting 14 field
goals.

,f Boy, that used to be a great tournament," he added. "We had teams
like Arkansas, TCU, South Carolina --- eight teams in all. We even had
Tennessee down there one year."

But baseball was Cecil's forte. His last year of college competition
fhis junior year), Upshaw worked the mound for a 0.93 earned run average and
led the nation in strikeouts per inning pitched. And if that wasn't enough,
he hit .403 with six home runs through a 15-game schedule.

And now, nearly ten years later, Upshaw is laboring in Houston's
Astrodome - -- and he's pretty happy about it. Coming from the Braves —
a team that had the second- to -worst record in the majors at the time of the
trade --- to the Astros, a team with pennant hopes, helps ease the shock
of the trade.

"You just can't explain the difference between winning and losing. It
makes all the difference in the world," said Upshaw happily from the
jubilant clubhouse after the Astros' sixth straight victory Tuesday night.

If he had to be traded, Upshaw is happy it was to the Astros. "If I
had to pick from among the 23 major league ball clubs, I would have picked
Houston. I've always thought of them as my home major league ball club."

Doug Moody, Upshaw' s baseball coach at Centenary and now a coach at
Linwood Junior High in Shreveport, praised his former pupil. "Cecil is a
tremendous person. I have nothing but respect and admiration for him,"
commented Moody, adding the compliment, "He was a Gentleman in even-
sense of the word."

West Texas Trip Boosts Gents
Back to .500 Diamond Record

Conglomerate Sports Service

Centenary's baseball 6ents , reeling after
dropping seven of ten contests at one point
before the Easter recess, decided that a
trip to Texas just might produce that
greener grass on the other side of the fence,
the greener grass they needed to bring their
record back up to the .500 mark.

Six games and five victories later, the
Gents were well satisfied with the hue of
Lone Star grazing.

Louisiana College was the first victim of
the spree, dropping both ends of a doublehead-

Perry Peyton held the LC Wildcats to seven
hits in the 4-1 opener as a three-run fourth
inning, sparked by consecutive doubles on the
parts of Jim Bonds and Frank Parks, provided
all the ammunition the Gents needed in the
game, played, as was the second, here at Cen-

The second game was tighter at 6-5, but
junior Dave Deets helped insure the eventual
Gent success with a one-out double in the
fourth, which was followed by three opportune
bases-on-balls for a three-run stanza. Dan
Sparrow, albeit beset by wildness, garnered
the win.

The game saw one of those phenomena peculiar
to baseball, by the way- -a fight without punch-
es. Order was rapidly restored.

True to the indomitable Gent spirit, the
Centenary nine proved their mettle in Abilene
next, coming from behind twice to defeat the
Cowboys of Hardin -Simmons to sweep a Thursday
doubleheader .

The fun and games in Abilene had yet to con-
clude, however. The two teams took to the
field once more the next day, and the air was
again alive with screaming base hits.

Perry Peyton gave the Cowboys eight hits in
the opener, but the Gents matched that with
eight of their own as the Centenary squadron
pushed across 8 runs to the 7 amassed by Har-
din -Simmons. Peyton was taking no chances,
however, slamming a three -run homer in the
sixth inning.

The next game wore out the scorekeepers 1
pencils as Centenary, with home-run help from
Dave Deets and Jim Bonds, racked up 13 hits
which translated into 16 runs- -only to see
Hardin -Simmons translate their eleven hits in-
to eighteen runs. The Cowboys had amassed a
formidable 16-1 lead, but the Gents, never
quitting, pummel ed the enemy pitching for
fifteen more scores while the Cowboys eded out
two others to produce the final tally of 18-16,'

Waiting for Tango

by Mary Ann Caffery

Well, everyone must really be bogged
down with work this week if the editor's
wife, of all people, has to write movie
reviews. Of course, I don't know if there
are that many people who like to attend
the so-called "kiddie" movies as much as I
do either- -possibly except for the editor.
Anyway, I saw four "children's" movies
last weekend while waiting for Last Tango
in Paris and The Stewardesses to hit the
Shreveport theaters.

I don't know whether I was tired or
whether it really was a bad movie, but
during Charlotte 's~T7eb I literally fell
asleep tor about fifteen minutes. Usually
I love to watch cartoons and animated
shows, but this one simply did not have
enough action in it to hold my attention
span, even though Debbie Reynolds, Henry
Gibson, Paul Lynde, and Agnes Moorehead's
voices were the stars. On the surface,
the movie is about a pig who doesn't want
to be turned into bacon, so this spider
named Charlotte befriends him and tries to
save his life. How the show ends I don't
know because I could not hold my eyes open
any longer to find out --in other words,
after two-thirds of this earth-shattering
film classic, I got up and walked out.
Now maybe Charlotte's Webr eveals a great
insight into life, but the method used to
tell the story was utterly boring and made
me not care at all about great insights.
Even the colors on the screen were dull,
and the animation- -well , just about the
only things that moved on the screen were
the characters' mouths, not to mention the
ho-hum songs. . .but then I saw. . . Cinderella .

Wow! Wiat a masterpiece of sight, sound,
and feelings! It was just as good as it
was in 1960 when I first saw it, but I
know I appreciated the beauty of this movie
more the second time around for many rea-
sons, the main one being that the animated
shows today just do not have the intricacy
of animation that some of the older flicks
exhibit. Cinderella 's colors were vivid
I and bright, the songs lively, and the ani-
mation- -unbelievably detailed. I would be
doing Disney's Cinderella an injustice to
even think of comparing it with Charlotte 's
Web so I won't, except in the feeling I had
while viewing both movies. I was excited
during Cinderella , whereas in Charlotte's
Web I telt no sense of enthusiasm at all
to even know how the story ended- -and if I
can sit through Myra Breckinridge without
walking out, Charlotte's Web has got to be
pretty bad.

On the other hand, not all Disney movies
are great, as was evidenced~B"y Charley and
the Angel . Stars Fred Ma cMu r ray and Harry
Morgan were entertaining, but that's about
all. I really can't complain because so
many movies are made solely for the pur-
pose of entertainment, but there was none
of the genius as seen in the Flubber/Ab-
sent-Minded Professor series of movies.
In fact, in this movie the audience was
restless- -it seemed that there was an un-
usually large amount of noise and fidget-
ting for a movie that is billed to be
'hilarious." This movie deserves no spe-
cial comments or criticisms because it was
just an O.K. comedy.

And for last... I saved the best . . . Willie
Wonka and the Chocolate Factory . In my o-
pinion as an editor's wife, this is a very
adult movie which tells parents in a very
subtle manner how to rear children- - that
manner being by advertising itself as a
"kiddie" movie so the adults who view it
won't be completely "turned off" by the
directness of its message. There are two
levels in this movie- -one which appeals
to the kiddies who come to hear tfie song
"Candy Man" and see the mean little girl
turn into a blueberry, and the other which
appeals to the parents who have had to take
their kids to the movies. Willie Wonka
(who runs the chocolate factory) is very
sarcastic in a subtle way, and his sub-
level humor is more understood by an adult
than by a child who sees the movie. Clever
choreography, catchy songs, beautiful sets,
and tons and tons of candy make this film
one of the most pleasant as well as one of
the most meaningful that I've seen in a
lone time. I can't wait until it comes
back to town so I can see it again!

Faculty Ends Course
System, Approves

Liberal Arts Major

by Jeff Daiell

This is apparently a semester for aboli-
tion. First, the course known- to one and all
as Great Issues was slain. Then, in Monday's
meeting of the Faculty, the present system of
evaluating Centenary courses, the course-
credit (as opposed to semester -hour) system,
was sent to an early grave.

Following a debate which consumed most of
the meeting, the Faculty voted to reverse the
recommendation of the Educational Policy Com-
mittee (EPC) , which had suggested the reten-
tion of the system. The Committee had four
major contentions:

1. The course credit system has not been
tested long enough.

2. There is a trend "toward the simpler
credit system," meaning ours.

3. Continual study is needed.

4. The Committee wants the respective de-
partments to reassess credit evaluation
to eliminate any existing inequities.

But Dr. Charles Lowrey, the Registrar,
moved to effect the return, nevertheless,
thus sparking a lengthy debate which featured
seven main themes:

1. Do semester hours make transfers easier?

2. Not enough other colleges employ the
course -credit system.

3. The current system has not been tried
long enough (the first argument of the
EPC) .

4. The course system siinplifies records.

5. The course system reduces the "mechani-
cal" concept of merely adding up requi-
site hours, rather than the ideal of
knowledge for knowledge's sake.

6. A change would give the impression to
outsiders that Centenary was "indeci-
sive," confused, hesitant.

7. But if the system isn't working, why

prolong the agony?

Finally, the Faculty sided with Registrar
Lowrey, and ordered the change, with the Edu-
cational Policy Committee to determine wheth-
er Fall '73 or Fall '74 would be the prefer-
able change-over point, the indecision due
to potential difficulties with the earlier
date, such as the catalogue. Committee mem-
ber John Hardt said Tuesday that the Commit-
tee had opted for the 1974 switch.

The meeting also spawned a new major, the
Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts. There are
five areas in which this new major is unique:

1. Permission of the Dean of the College
is required..

2. Advisement is by a committee, not an
individual professor.

3. All the normal College graduation re-
quirements must be fulfilled.

4. A student must complete the inteimedi-
ate level of a foreign language.

5. For this major, sixteen courses are
necessary, with the following stipula-
tions :

A. They must come from either 3 or 4
departments .

B. A minimum of 4 courses from each of
the chosen departments is required.

C. At least eight of the designated
courses must be from the 300 level
or above, with possible waiver for
certain science courses.

There were two main reasons given for this
newly-born degree: first, it suits the needs
of students who don't have specific goals;
and second, it allows more choice in the de-
gree program, rather than pidgeonholingthe
student into a more narrow category (the nor-
mal majors, as English, Government, History).

In other business, the Faculty approved
the list of degree candidates, added three
members to the Personnel Committee (Dr. Frank
Carroll, Dr. Wilfred Guerin, and Robert Ed
Taylor), and heard Dr. Lowrey announce that
ten Centenary pre-Med students --a Centenary
record- -have been accepted by various Schools
of Medicine.

While reaction on the new major has not
been heard yet, the Registrar's office was
ecstatic about the change in credit systems.
Ms . Rosemary Spalding of that office said her

happiness was "because it (the currmi :;y^tu/ij
cheats the students," a sentiment shared ;mr\
seconded by her co-worker, Miss Woods. Accord
ing to them, whereas other schools give spe
cial consideration to certain courses (4-
credit science labs, in particular), Centen-
ary does not.

Also, Ms. Spalding noted, the current sys-
tem "inflates everybody's average" who at-
tends Centenary, potentially to the disadvan-
tage of students from schools using the older
system: schools receiving transfers from Cen-
tenary will divide all quality points by
three (the standard assignment of credits un-
der the hour system) whereas some of those
of students from other schools would undergo
division by 4. This leads to discrepancies
in many courses, Rosemary observed, and creat-
ed much trouble for students transferring in
and out of Centenary. In all, "it's just so
inconsistent" she complained.

Her boss, Dr. Lowrey, was the Faculty mem-
ber who moved that the current system be de-
throned and the semester hour system be rein-
state^

Dean Marsh Resigns;
To Stay as Professor

Thad N. Marsh, Dean of the College, con-
finned Wednesday that he will step down as
Dean effective June 1, "in order that I may
return to full time teaching in my other-
capacity as Professor of English."

Although Dr. Allen was not available
Wednesday afternoon following Dean Marsh's
announcement, his office did say that a
successor will be named before the semester
is over.

The statement capped weeks of campus
rumors that the Dean would be leaving or
stepping down and that he would be replaced
by one of any number of "suspected" suc-
cessors, with such diverse faculty members
as Dr. Morgan, Dr. Gwin, Dr. Kauss, and
both Lowreys leading the rumor-lists.

According to Dean Marsh, he was chosen
in 1966 by a faculty committee appointed by
Dr. Jack Wilkes, who passed that recommendation
on to the board for approval; but the pre-
sident has no official guidelines to follow.

THE CONGLOMERATE

Until Tuesday's meeting of the Student
Life Committee, the administration and stu-
dents had radically different ideas of lobby
hours in men's dorms. Dean Rawlinson, al-
though admitting most students were not a-
ware of it, assumed visitation hours were
lobby hours. Smitty, under PresidentTTTen 's
orders that lobbies were to be closed when
visitation hours ended, caught people una-
bashedly walking through and sitting in the
lobb ies after hours. However, he did not
turn them in, claiming that the rules are
not publicized enough and students do not e-
ven know that they are violating then. Dean
Miller, apparently unaware of President Al-
len and Dean Rawlinson's positions, said that
until Student Life came to a decision, men's
lobbies were open 24 hours.

Student Life Committee members ended the
confusion at their meeting Tuesday morning,
voting to keep the lobbies open 24 hours a
day. As the SUB closes rather early and the
lobbies are the only place a phone is avail-
able after 10:30 pm, the decision seems log-
ical .

Now, about the women's lobbies

The Centenary Library along with libraries
across the country will dim its lights and
place a lighted candle on the circulation
desk at noon on Tuesday, May 8. This symbol-
ic "back to the dark ages" act is to call at-
tention to threats to library service because
of the recommended zero federal funds for li-
brary services in the 1973-74 budget.

In Louisiana, the situation is particular-

ly critical, since the State Library depends
on federal funds for 68 per cent of its oper-
ating budget. Public libraries throughout
the state depend on the State Library to fi-
nance or carry out substantial parts of the±r
operations. The Centenary Library and other
area academic libraries use the State Library
as a source for films and reference service,
interlibrary loan materials, and the funding
for the Green Gold Library System that serves
Northwest Louisiana.

If you are concerned that the lights stay
on permanently in Louisiana libraries, you
should contact your representatives and sen-
ators who will be going to Baton Rouge next
week for the Fiscal Session of the State Leg-
islature. If you do not know their names,
you can get this information at the Library.

ACADEMIC
AFFAIRS

GUEST EDITORIAL BY JOHN WIGGIN

One of the quotes (I forget whose) which
emerged from the first session of Operation
Brainstorm was, "What Centenary needs is an
academic orgy." This was the goal of Oper-
ation Brainstorm (O.B.) as I saw it: to trans-
form the atmosphere around the college into
more of an "academic orgy." O.B. was a re-
volt against the intellectual sterility which
seems to exist on this campus.

But O.B., as a movement without structure,
has reached the end of its usefulness . Like
most movements, O.B. was able to attract
people so long as the romanticism of rising
up against the system surrounded it. That
romanticism soon wore off, however, leaving
only the tedium involved with implementing
meaningful change. At the final meeting of
O.B. there were 8 students and four faculty
members. Hardly anyone is attracted to ted-
ium.

Brainstorming has, however, in my opinion,
given the academic atmosphere around Centen-
ary a much needed lift. Even if no outward
changes result from the sessions in James
Lobby, those people who are concerned with
academics were able to find out that there
were other people concerned about the same
things .

Hopefully we can keep the spirit of O.B.
going. The major drawback of O.B. was that
no structure existed to transform the ideas
and suggestions into reality. In light of
this, it was proposed at the last meeting of
O.B. that the Academic Affairs committee of
the student senate be used as a vehicle for
implementing some of the "brainstorms" of
O.B.

The committee already exists according to
the Senate Constitution, but lies dormant
somewhere on the second floor of the Sub.
Maybe the spirit that begat O.B. will breathe
life into this committee. Organization of
the committee is pretty much up to those who
are interested in being on it, according to
Rick Clark.

The important thing, though, is not how
the committee is organized (or unorganized),
but that it works. Academic Affairs must
not become simply another senate committee.
Only if it is infused with some of the ideal-
ism that surfaced during O.B. can it bring

about changes needed at Centenary.

I said earlier that hopefully we can keep
the spirit of O.B. going. I say now that I
believe it is absolutely crucial that the i-
dealism of O.B. be perpetuated and nourished.
The quality of the intellectual life at Cen-
tenary depends on it.

THE EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT

by David Lawrence and Jim Hobbs

One public relations coordinator with a
firm six years makes $25,000, another with
the firm eight years makes $16,500. Two
solid state physicists --one has ten years ex-
perience and makes $24,000; the other thir-
teen years experience and makes $18,500. The
difference? In both cases the lesser salary
is paid to a woman. We could cite many more
examples. Not only are women improperly com-
pensated for their abilities but woman is
also prohibited from using her abilities
through job discrimination or role stereo-
typing. The loser is not only woman but
society in general. The elimination of
these and other wrongs would begin with the
ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment.

Legal status for women was not defined by
the U.S. Constitution as it was framed and
adopted under the concept of English Common
Law, which does not regard woman as legal
persons or entities. The 14th Amendment is
not interpreted by the Supreme Court to give
women protection from discrimination or legal
status.

A legal status is necessary so that a wo-
man will be given equal treatment and consid-
eration in all areas of life as a man. For
instance: equal work- -equal pay, the right to
work overtime, the right to receive the same
penalties as males when violating the laws
(some states have greater penalties for fe-
males than for males), the right to establish
a business, become guarantors, enter into con-
tracts and administer estates, etc.

A wife is not allowed by the laws of the
state of La. to spend any money (though it
may be HER salary) without the permission of
her husband unless the purchase is considered
necessary by the courts. The courts have es-
tablished that groceries are not "necessaries"
(Nationwide Acceptance Co. v. Griffin 171 So.
2d 701 La. App. 4 Cir. 1965). Even a home
owned jointly by a man and woman can be sold
without the consent or knowledge of the wife.

There are several misconceptions about the
Equal Rights Amendment:

Equality is not sameness.

The ERA does not establish quotas. No one
will be required to get a job if she does not
desire to do so.

In 1965 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that
sexually segregated rest rooms and sleeping
quarters must be provided in public places
(Griswald v. Conn.). Anyway, shared rest-
rooms are already a fact of life in single-
facility situations: airplanes, trains, buses,

many offices, possibly your own home. The
doors are supplied with a lock, which is more
sturdy than a sign. The restroom question is
merely a smokescreen.

Many so-called "protective labor laws"
were struck down by Title VII of the-1^6'4
Civil Rights Act. These laws restricted the
number of pounds a woman could lift (many
cases as low as 10 pounds --any woman with a
young child knows that ten pounds is low in-
deed) , the number of hours she could work,
and restricted her from shift work. These
laws served to prevent a woman from getting
a promotion, work benefits or a higher paying
job. Where laws offer true protection, such
as rest periods, they will be extended to
cover men (this was recently done in Arkan-
sas) . We need to be concerned about protect-
ive labor laws for all, for PERSONS.

For about the past 6000 years half the pop-
ulation has been kept from achieving self-
fulfillment or making meaningful contribu-
tions to society. This condition is brought
about by prejudices so subtly imbedded that
they leech fairness and rationality from per-
sons wholly unaware of their bias.

Let our practices live up to our ideals.
In a democracy, can a person's right be as-
sured too many times?

To the Editor:

Now, what's all this dumb, stupid stuff
about strange last names? I was there, yes
I was, I heard it all. The whole interview.
There was nothing said about strange last
names. Strange names, yes, last names, no.
Tell me, just what's so blinking strange a-
bout Peace. I know a buncha people with that
name- -I really do. Like I said, I was there,
I heard the question and the answer. I heard
the answerer and the answeree. The answerer
was not Ms. Peace as quoted but someone else.
Anyway, the answer was "because she has a
strange name." Not a strange last name.
I'll grant you, Mary is not different, nor
is Jane. I have already established that
Peace is not unique. But, Maryjane Peace...
there is really no one with that name. We
fooled you all. Such an obvious false name
too. Aren't you embarrased?

SAM OF THE FBI?

Documents have been burned, and so, it
seems, has L. Patrick Gray, former acting
Director of the FBI. Now William Ruckelshaus ,
former Director of the Environmental Protec-
tion Agency, has assumed the Acting Director-
ship. Mr. Nixon, meanwhile, must search a-
round for a nominee to the post on a perma-
nent basis.

Odds are, unfortunately, that the nominee
will be a "Nixon man." Not just a Nixon man,
but a "Nixon man." And America cannot afford
such an appointee; she cannot afford an FBI
Director who is anv_ President's "man."

Yet vho else is there? To appoint someone
from the FBI hierarchy would be a mistake;
either that appointee, as an FBI hierarch,
will view the Bureau as an ends rather than
as a means, or he will be committed to the
recent changes in the FBI which has made it
a threat to Americans rather than a safeguard,
or both. To appoint another bureaucrat would
be to remove the Bureau from the needs of the
public. There is probably only one person in
the Executive Branch who could be trusted
with the job, and the odds are Eddy Cox would
never let her take it.

There is, however, hope in the Legislative
Branch. True, normally appointees from this
branch would not make good FBI Directors;
they would tend to be partisan and harmfully
political. But one member stands out as an
excellent potential choice.

He is a Senator, a Democrat, and a South-
erner. None of these qualify him for the
post, but neither should they disallow him.
For he is above all else his own man, acting
upon and according to the dictates of his own
conscience without regard to party or popu-
larity. He is, most important of all, an un-
compromising champion of the civil liberties
for which America was to have been so proud.
While a champion of aH the rights of Man--
including the absolute right to private pro-
perty-- -would , of course, be preferable, such
is not a total necessity in this particular
job .

This man, this guardian of the civil liber-
ties allegedly guaranteed every- American, is
Sam Ervin, of North Carolina.

Senator Ervin has, in his career in the
Federal Senate, dedicated himself to the pro-

tection of such bygone liberties as free
speech, free press, the right to be secure in
ones home and possession, and the freedom to
peacefully assemble. He defended them when
they existed, he calls for their return now
that they have been suspended (if not totally
abolished) . He has fought every attempt to
infringe on the civil liberties of the Ameri-
can citizen, including surveillance of indi-
viduals by the Army, no-knock warrants, and
preventive detention. While other Senators,
other Democrats, other Southerners either
supported or caved- in to the Wallaceite
shrieking for a police state, Senator Ervin
calmly maintained that even those who did not
choose crewcuts had rights, too- -a concept
virtually heretical to many.

As Director of the Federal Bureau of In-
vestigation, Senator Ervin would make sure
that that body acted at all times in accord-
ance with the Bill of Rights, and make it
once more an agency the .American public could
be proud of, one that would make the citizen
feel more secure, rather than the frightening
enemy it has become and is becoming. He
would be no President's "man," and no party's
tool .

He is, in short, exactly the sort of man
the FBI needs, the sort of man America needs
--and the sort of man they both need desper-
ately. With Sam Ervin as FBI Director, we
could all sleep just a little bit better at
night.

FREEZING MICE AND MEN

The freezing and thawing of living things
is moving out of the realm of science fiction
into fact. Frozen organs will be kept in
storage. Frozen people will be sent on long
space odysseys. People will also be frozen
(some already are) to await medical advances
that can cure their diseases --including death.

The latest evidence for successful freezing
and thawing of living things is the report by
D.G. Whittingham, S.P. Leibo, and P. Mazur in
Science (October 27, 1972), "Survival of Mouse
fcmbryos Frozen to -196 and -269 deg. C." An
embryo is a very delicate cell assembly, and
the prestation is that success in freezing
and thawing embryos will lead to success with
freezing and thawing organs and whole bodies
The key to success is in understanding what
goes on in and around cells while they are
being frozen. The main problem is that ice
crystals form inside the cells and tear up
the maze of delicate structure that makes up
the cell. However, during the freezing pro-
cess, the water tends to leave the cells and

Page live

go into the intercellular medium. Outside "
the cell there is only the cell membrane to
tear. If the water can be made to leave the
cell before it crystalizes and if the cell
membrane can be strengthened, freezing and
thawing is likely to be successful.

A major discovery in this new research is
that the water would leave the cells before
it crystalized if it was. cooled slowlv enough.
Calculations based on heat transfer theory and
membrane mechanics indicated that the rate
for cell assemblies of embryo dimensions
should be about 1 degree per minute. And
this seems to have worked out in practice.
As for protecting the cell membranes, several
substances were tried. The most effective
turned out to be DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide).
The trouble is that this stuff is toxic. How-
ever, it was found that if it is introduced
slowly in increasing concentrations as the
temperature is lowered, its toxicity is great-
ly reduced.

Whittingham, Leibo, and Mazur were able to
freeze and thaw 1-cell, 2-cell, and 8-cell em-
bryos. Their success was proven by implant-
ing the thawed embryos into mother mice and
letting the embryos develop into newborn mice
This is obviously useful for efficient trans-
portation and storage of various species and
will lead to the upgrading of domestic animals.
But the researchers propose more: 'The suc-
cess of cryobiological theory in suggesting
the proper approach to the freezing of these
sensitive embryos increases the likelihood
that ways can be found to freeze complex mam-
malian systems for medical use."

There may, however, be more sophisticated
ways to freeze and thaw living things. One
of the most exciting possibilities is "snap
freezing." Graduate Harry Waitz (known as
Frosty to his friends), is trying this method,
which is his invention, at the University of
California at Berkeley.

Waitz f s idea is to freeze under conditions
of very high pressure, say 30,000 pounds per
square inch. (This does not squash the speci-
men because the atmosphere of the pressure
chamber permeates the cells of the specimen
and so the pressure is equalized throughout
the body.) According to Waitz's theory the
water, under high pressure, should freeze in-
to "ice three," a kind of ice that has exceed-
ingly small crystals.

The freezing temperature and high pressure
are arrived at slowly in a stepwise manner,
but at the freezing point the water crystaliz-
es at the speed of sound- -thus "snap freez-
ing." Cryoprotective agents such as DMSO will
hopefully be unnecessary. After the tempera-
ture is lowered to around -80 degrees C. the
pressure can be let up and the ice will as-
sume an "ice three" configuration. To thaw
the pressure has to be reinstated and the tem-
perature raised in a stepwise manner.

Frosty is planning to start with whole-ani-
mal freezing, using salamanders. We will soon
know if he lives up to his name.

THE CONGLOMERATE

White Satin World of Alice Cooper

by David Lawrence and Jim Hobbs

"Alice Cooper is 'the best exponent of total confusion I know. m

--Salvador Dali

The finest show, not merely a concert, to hit Shreveport was
Alice Cooper last Friday night. Bearing a resemblance to a perverse
Ziegfeld follies or a nightmarish grand opera, the Cooper troupe per-
formed 90 minutes of psycho tic -rock -theater. 'What I do is really
nothing that de Sade didn't do 150 years ago. "--Alice Cooper

Until the success of their third album, "Love It to Death," Alice
Cooper was a virtually unknown L.A. band. Since that time they have
recorded three more albums and are in the middle of a three month,
$4.5 million tour. Alice Cooper is not only the. name of the group,
it is also the name of the lead singer (it really is his name) .
Other personel are: Dennis Dunnaway, bass; Neal Smith, drums; Glen
Buxton and Michael Bruce, guitars; there was an additional unknown
keyboard man performing Friday evening.

The entourage arrived Friday afternoon in their specially out-
fitted prop jet, "Billion Dollar Baby." The plane, with seats re-
moved, is strewn with large cushions and pillows. "Linda Lovelace
is our stewardess." (For those who haven't heard, Linda Lovelace is
the star of the notorious "Throat "/"Deep Throat.") Upon the side is
emblazened "ALICE COOPER" and on the tail is painted a large dollar
sign. As the plane landed, waiting police hauled off a woman after
searching her purse and detained the chartered bus for unknown
reasons .

These reporters arrived that afternoon at the Sheraton-Shreveport
to find an unorthodox but pleasant news conference. Alice and the
boys were playing stickball in a rear parking lot, much to the cha-
grin of more formal reporters. Lane Crockett, who commented so nega-
tively on the press conference, was not in attendence. Alice left
the game and spoke with reporters, after calling for another in a
long line of beers. He wearily answered the same old mundane ques-
tions asked every day. "Are you Eddie Haskel?" "Are you straight?"
"Is Alice your real name?" "No." "Nobody's straight." "You really
wouldn't understand." It turned out that the woman who was detained
by police had joined the group in New Orleans against parental wish-
es. Alice expressed apprehension concerning rumors that the show
would be halted in the event of "obscene" acts. "I hate people
hassling me like that; that means I really can't do half the show.
I won't go on if I can't do the show. I don't want to be bitchy
about it; I just don't want to get hassled." However, when told by
John Winters that the head of the Stagehands ' Union was going to tell
him what he "can and can not do," Mr. Cooper said he would listen.

THE CONCERT

Performing to a totally unattentive audience, Flo and Eddie were
an excellent warm-up group. The primary members are Howard Kaylan
and Mark Volman, originally with the Turtles, later with the Mothers
of Invention and fresh from back up vocals on T. Rex albums. Other
members include former Mothers.

Though it was one of the finest musical events we have ever attend-
ed, the audience generally remained inert throughout. It appeared
that much of the audience found it difficult to participate in the
experience. About one quarter of the approximately eight thousand
people there succeeded in suspending everyday reality and entering
into the macabre world of Alice Cooper. Probably the dull response
from the audience members was due to bewilderment on account of ex-
pecting this to be just another rock concert. These took offense at
the force of Alice's theatrics or thought themselves far too "sophis-
ticated" to allow themselves to be beguiled by something so ordinary
as a singer having his head guillotined. This was rock/ theatre
which required audience participation to achieve success. "I don't
feel like I've succeeded unless the audience leaves with their mouths
open."- -Alice

The scope of the concert's physicality can only be gauged against
grand opera. An eerie fog-filled stage strewn with mannequin parts,
a twenty- five foot gold metalflake framework with marquee-like travel-
ing lights, an Egyptian sarcophagus that glowed in the dark, a boa
constrictor, a dead baby impaled upon a sabre, real money hurled in-
to the audience, a giant attacking tooth brushed into submission,
steps that lit up, two three-foot mirrored balls, strobe lights 'a
guillotine, flash paper, a cannon shot, a bloody head held high'by
an executioner, "Night on Bald Mountain," and Kate Smith singing "God
Bless America." The interaction of the music and the stage effects
gave rise to a special reality in which the imaginative viewer felt
that anything was possible. If the ceiling had burst open and a ■
giant white robed figure had lifted Alice into the air, it would have
been no great surprise.

\ Wi M h ^ ar ^ e , ristic P° wer md savagery, they performed "I'm Eigh-
teen, "Dead Babies," "I Love the Dead," "School's Out," one of the
greatest rock and roll songs of all time- -•Under My Wheels " and
several others. In contrast to the usual frantic scurrying around
during an equipment malfunction, this was handled with great profes-
s l lon tl 1 ? m b y ^ Coo P*t group. When an amp blew out, the song was
skillfully ended the lights brought down, and the amp was replaced
during a keyboard solo. F

Proving that the area doesn't have to be a cultural sludgepool
the Alice Cooper show brought a taste of divine decadence to Shreve-
port. The sicker you kids get, the greater the shows we'll have
for you."

THE CONGLOMERATE

LOUISIANA LAWS VS. THE SUPREME COURT

Abortion: Where Do We Stand?

by Wes Garvin

Page Seven

The recent Supreme Court decisions regard-
ing the right to abortion have raised ques-
tions about the status of the relevant Loui-
siana law. It will be my purpose in this
article to discuss exactly what the Court
decisions did and did not say, and the pro-
bable effect of these decisions on the Loui-
siana law.

Nationwide, state laws regarding abortion
fell into three general categories: the hard
laws, the middle laws, and the soft laws.
Our own was a classic example of the hard law.
The Louisiana code (R.S. 14:87-88) defined
abortion as the administration of any drug
or the use of any instrument "for the purpose
of procuring premature delivery of the embryo
or fetus." Thus, the successful aborting of
the fetus was not the crime- -merely an attempt
to abort constituted the criminal offense,
for which the abortionist was subject to "not
less than one nor more than ten years... at
hard labor."

The only exception to the rule was in
cases "where the life of the woman is threat-
ened." (Rosen v. Louisiana State Bd. of Medi-
cal Examiners, 1970, 318 F. Supp. 1217).

(Interestingly, in no way or manner is a
woman subject to criminal prosecution for
haying an abortion. Even if it is self-in-
flicted, as the abortee she has committed no
crime.)

States with middle laws are those, such as
Georgia, which provided for a variety of rea-
sons other than imminent death of the mother
for legal abortions. Examples could include
cases of forcible rape, incest, and/or eco-
nomic impossibility of supporting additional
children.

The few states that have totally revised
their laws- -New York being an example- -per-
mitted virtually abort ion -on -demand, with the
proviso, of course, that the woman find a
doctor willing to perform the operation.

The recent Supreme Court cases dealt with
laws in the hard and middle categories. It
would be difficult for a valid case to be
framed presenting the illegality of the easy
laws, as nobody who is specifically having a
right denied is capable of bringing suit,
which is a requirement for being party to
such a case.

Specifically, the Supreme Court in Roe v.
w ade and Doe v. Bolton did not - - repeat7~did
not- approve all abortions at all times in
EtT places. It is necessary to stress this
since many media presentations tend to sen-
sational i:e decisions of this sort. What the
Court did, in 7-2 decisions, was merely to
declare two state laws unconstitutional. In
the Roe case, a Texas law which seems marked-
ly similar to Louisiana's was declared uncon-
stitutional. (The Texas law also outlawed
abortions in all cases except to save the
mother's life.) And, in Doe, a Georgia
statute of the middle class of laws, strictly
controlling the circumstances under which an
abortion could be performed, was likewise
declared void. In both cases the holding of
the Court was that such a law was a violation
of the individual's right to privacy which
was first enunciated in 1965 in the birth-
control case of Griswold v. Connecticut .

In so holding, the Court established a
tripartite division of development . Wisely
avoiding the multitudinous moral positions
on abortion, the opinion- -which was, inci-
dentally delivered by Mr. Justice Blackmun.
one of President Nixon's appointees- -estab-
lished ground- rules for determining when the
states could or could not regulate and limit
abortions. In the first three months of preg-
nancy- -or trimester- -the state cannot deprive
any woman of such an operation. The q jest ion
is totally up to her and her doctor. During
the second trimester the state can establish
standards for the conditions under which the
procedure can be performed. It is only dur-
ing the third trimester that the state' could
ban all abortions, except that those neces-
sarv to save the mother's life must be al-
lowed even here.

As to the question of the status of Louisi-
ana's law, the simple fact is that it is
still on the books. Officially, the court
decision struck down only those laws directly
under consideration, Texas and Georgia. The
decisions did establish a precedent for con-
parable laws, but they will not be declared
void until a specific case under those lavs
is brought into Federal Court.

(The effectiveness of this delaying device
is shown in the school desegregation cases.
One reason it took so long for desegregation
to even begin in many places was that each
separate school board had to be faced with a
specific suit before anything would be done.)

The net effect of this, then, is that un-
til a doctor in Louisiana can be found to
risk prosecution and carry a suit into the
Federal Courts the law will still be effec-
tive. Once into the Courts, however, under
the Roe and Doe precedents such a law would
undoubtedly be declared void. Until that hap-
pens, however, the mere existence of the
statute on the books would perhaps act as a
deterrent to many persons who otherwise would
consider an abortion. Thus, while a start
has been made in the direction of virtually
unlimited abortions, that day has not vet
come to the Pelican State.

Senate Chooses Heads
For Fall Committees

Armed with twelve notebooks, one dog, two
frizbees, twenty-seven hamburgers, and twenty
four donuts, the Senate felt prepared to
tackle the problems of the college at Lake
Bistineau Saturday night. Dr. Theodore Kauss
Senate advisor, and all the members except
the IFC and Panhellenic representatives e-
ventually made it to the secluded Group Camp.

First on the agenda was the purpose of the
Senate. The general consensus was that the
most important goal is to improve communica-
tions. It was suggested that Senators have
periodic meetings with their classes.

Secondly, the Senate decided to amend the
by-laws so that committee members are now
"subject to approval by the Senate." A com-
mittee membership roster is due by the end
of September, and chairmen are required to
have their ideas approved by the Senate be-
fore taking action (for example: hiring a
band for a concert) .

On the discussion of Senate committees,
Marv Jane Peace was elected head of Forums;
John Wiggin, Academic Affairs; and Randy
Brunson, Entertainment. Bill Bergmann,
Barry Williams, and Paul Overly will continue
to head Films, Elections, and Admissions
respectively.

Next was the selection of Student Faculty
Committees. Tom Musselman, Gayle Fannin, and
Pete Matter will be on the newly-formed cafe-
teria comnittee. Pat Norton and Judge Ed-
wards will represent the Senate on the Stu-
dent Life Committee. John Hardt and Barry
Williams will continue to serve on Education-
al Policy with one more student to be select-
ed in the near future. Matt Browne, Jay
Reynolds, Taylor Caffery, and Chris Woodruff
will be recorrmended to the Discipline Com-
mittee. Bill Dunlap will be on Intercolle-
giate Athletics, and Gladys Cuevas will be
the representative on the Library Comnittee.

Due to strong feelings against the pre-
sent cheerleader situation, it was agreed
that a committee be formed to investigate
putting the cheerleaders under the Senate
rather than under the Athletic Department.
Pete Matter will chair the comnittee with
members Mary Jo Trice, Mike Griffin, and
Mary Oakland.

It seems that in previous years, the Sen-
ate made a $5.00 profit on each rented re-
frigerator. From now on, the charge will be
$18.00 per refrigerator, and the student
worker who distributes them makes $2.00 on
each one.

Also concerning non-profit Senate organi-
zations, it was decided to try to form a stu-
dent co-op to establish a more fair book ex-
change than is provided by the Bookstore.

The $90.00 bulletin board suggested by the
Maintenance Department was accepted. Its lo-
cation was not determined.

Finally, Pat Norton was selected Poster
Press Person for $1.75 per hour.

By the tiiae the Senate reached this last
decision, it was about 11:00 pn, and the
meeting had been in session for at least
three hours. People began getting restless,
and the dog even growled. The planning of *
th e ca lendar was left to Rick Clark and Bill
Bergmann .

The next meeting will be on Wednesday, May
9 at 5:30 in the caf.

The Choir*. Its
Been a Hard Year

by Mary Oakland

Discovering the truth about Watergate is
hop-scotch compared to getting choir" members
to freely discuss the choir. In fact, one
girl even said, "It seems funny for me to be
talking about it because one of our policies
used to be 'never say anything about the choir."
Immediatelv afterward she said, "But don't
quote me."

It seems that this past year has been one
of great change for the choir. Dr. William
Ballard took over the director's job when
Dr. A. C. (Cheesy) Voran stepped down after
thirty years. Following an act that lasted
thirty years has been no easy job for Dr.
Ballard. He explained, 'One gains ideas as
he goes. I wanted to take it from where it
was and move it in the direction I could move
it. 11 One of the differences between the two
directors is that, "Cheesy always felt the
choir was just the choir and should not be
shared with anyone else. I don't feel that
way. Cheesy wouldn't take part with the
Shreveport Symphony. Of course, I will."
Uhen it was suggested that maybe this year
was difficult due to the strong devotion to
Cheesy, the new director said, "It needn't
be hard, it just has been hard."

Cindy Scott, the Coed Vice-President of
the choir agreed, "It's been a hard year, but
I can't say it hasn't been a good year. It
» will be to his (Dr. Ballard's) advantage when
all the kids who were under Cheesy have grad-
uated." As one who was under Cheesy last year,
Charles Salisbury admits, "I went in with the
wrong attitude- -being mostly against the
change and lack of organization. I think Dr.
Ballard can go up, but I don't think it will
necessarily be like it was in the previous
year . "

To the president of the choir, Chris
Middleton, one of the major problems of the
year arose from the fact that there was no
choir camp last summer. "We haven't had as
cohesive a group as we've had in the past.
However, I think we've done well. I think
the choir's going to improve, but it's not
going to be the same choir. People can't
expect it to be the same choir."

As a new member of the choir, Lisa Dienst
has different insights, "Dr. Ballard's about
the best director you could possibly find.
He's the director now, and he should have all
the attention instead of somebody who's gone."

The choir got off to a rather slow start
this year due to the late appointment of Dr.
Ballard and not having the usual choir camp
at Hodges Gardens in the summer. This forced
the choir into only having about half their
usual number of performances. After they
finally began to pick up speed and moved into
their "Holiday in Song" concert this spring,
more problems tried to slow them down again.
These problems" were the poor reviews they
received in The Shreveport Times and The
Shreveport Journal""!

Recently the CONGLOMERATE talked to Jim
Montgomery, the Amusements Editor of The Shreve -
port Times and one of the writers of TJTe urT
complunentary review. Currently his feeling
is that, "Anybody with Dr. Ballard's talents
will be able to put sanething together, and
I think he will, given the chance."

Dr. Ballard is presently in the process of
making plans for next fall including a tenta-
tive "full-blown tour" to England over Interim.
His final conroent: '*For better or worse, the
change is here and it's going to stay."

Six Flags Drooping

The scheduled pilgrijnage to Six Flags Over
Texas, set originally for May 5th as the cul-
mination of a banner year for the Senate and
student body, has been cancelled due to un-
certainty regarding the Senate's financial
status and lack of a convenient time to con-
duct the expedition.

According to Senate President Rick Clark,
the Senate is not sure of how much money they
have- -somewhere between $500 and $2,000, de-
pending largely on a $1,000 Forums bill which
no one knows to have been paid or unpaid- -and
it was deemed unproper to charge for the trip, i
Also, with Dead Week barreling in upon us,
coupled with parties and formal s abounding
just prior to the originally-slated date, the
time squeeze proved insuperable.

Nevertheless, Rick assures all that the
second Clark Administration will attenrpt to
bring the plans to fruition next Fall.

THE DIVINE MISS M
Reviewed by Bill Yenne/AFS

My first memory of Bette Midler was a
little over a year ago when she was working
the Continental Baths in New York City. Her
style, in fact the whole scene, was in one
word: "outrageous ."

Now she's made it. From bath house camp,
she's gone on to become an overnight success,
verging on legend on both coasts. She came
up the rough back stairs of that toughest of
scenes, New York. Late last year she made a
rave West Coast tour, and her New Year's Eve
concert at Philharmonic Hall, attended by the
cream of the rock/show biz world, was met
with glowing reviews. And now a first album.

"Do ya, do ya, do ya; do ya wanna DANCE
wi' me, BABY!?"

The first side opens with Bobby Freeman's
"Do You Want To Dance?" demonstrating her in-
terpretive potential, that bubbles under the
surface of this album like a volcano ready
to erupt. Her style is a synthesis of all
the guts and soul of Janis Joplin and all the
sauciness of Mae West. It boggles the spleen
to conceive of such a synthesis. "Superstar,"
that Leon Russell wrote with Bonnie Bramlett,
is another case in point.

"Baby, baby, baby, OH BABY!.' I love you."

Conjuring up visions of Bessie Smith makin'
'em cry in Carl Van Vechten's drawing room,
the song, and especially the title, suits
Bette Midler.

"Leader of the Pack," on side two, aside
from being the best version of this song ever
recorded, is a prime showcase of her stage
power. Building into a racy, yet polished
rocker, the only thing it leaves to be desired
is to see it live.

Ranging from blues and rock to gospel and
whimsey (check out "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy"
and Kitty Wells' "Delta Dawn" on side two),
this will be one of the landmark albums of
1973. Bette Midler's rich style and total
presence are going to make her to the 70 *s
what Presley was for the 50 's and the Beatles
were for the 60 's. And Lord knows, after the
lethargy of the last few years, we need it.

So check this one out folks. It's a monu-
mental album, and just maybe, Bette Midler is
the light at the end of the tunnel. I think
so.

MARAVISHNU: BIRDS OF FIRE
Reviewed by Bill Yenne/AFS

The album begins with the sound of a Chi-
nese gong and the rippling of guitar notes
weaving between the speakers , and suddenly
you notice that the room is full of frag-
ments of sound, swooping, diving, gliding.
..these are the birds of fire.

This is John McLaughlin's second album
on Columbia, his third since the inception
of the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Before that,
he was with Miles Davis , an4 was a key part
of Miles' epic Bitch's Brew album. His
roots go deep into a unique blend of experi-
mental jazz and the Long Island Hinduism of
his Guru, Sri Chinmoy.

His first Mahavishnu Orchestra album, My
Goal's Beyond , on Douglas, the culmination
oi tnese roots, is probably his best work.
It is marked by intricate jazz patterns tem-
pered by a sublime yogic peacefulness. The
two more recent Columbia albums have, on the
other hand, been faster paced and more ecle-
tic. They are indicative of his having left
the intimate jazz club scene for bigger audi-

toriums and rock-oriented audiences.

Birds of Fire , however, is a decided im-
provement over The Inner Mounting Flame , and
much of it is on m par with My Goal Beyond in
its own way. The music allows one's mind to
lift and flow with it, rather than belting
hime with a wall of technical brilliance.
It is, oddly enough, a lot like a blend of
Wheels of Fire (of what?) vintage Cream and
the music of the zen koto masters.

The John McLaughlin of the current Maha-
vishnu Orchestra tour is an unusual addition
to the usual run of guitar virtuosos, with
his closely -cropped hair, shy grin," and com-
plete lack of vocals. He walks on stage,
totally unassuming, save for his 18-string
double neck guitar, asks for a moment of
total silence and then proceeds to fill
an auditorium the size of San Francisco's
Winterland with an incredible collection
of audible firebirds.

It's hard to recommend any specific cuts
on this record, as it's hard for me to con-
ceptualize there being more than one- -the
one that takes up all of both sides. It's
that kind of show. Try it and see.

Get some birds of fire flying around
your house.

Shreveporters Lobby
At CC'73 Session

by Jeff Daiell

The Constitutional Convention rolled into
town last Friday, in the form of its commit-
tees' chairmen. And between 90-120 Shreve-
porters showed up for the afternoon session
(there was also a session that evening).

The audience was almost totally white,
more male than female, and heavily elderly.
The panel from the convention was exclusively
male, mostly white, and for the most part
middle-aged.

There were two main themes in the testi-
mony from the audience: equal rights for wo-
men, and taxation. The League of Women Vot-
ers had several members speak, urging that
the Louisiana Bill of Rights include "equal
protection under the law" for women. That
idea had only one opponent, a woman repre-
senting the Patriots of America, who felt
that women in Louisiana were not discriminated
against. She also warned the panel not to
fall prey to the world-wide conspiracy, head-
quartered at 1313 60th, Chicago, to establish
a socialist world government, which was re-
sponsible for the current state of state con-
stitutional revision, not only in The Pelican
State, but also in Illinois and others.

As far as taxation went, suggestions a-
bounded. One man suggested that charity hos-
pitals be given a break; another suggested
homestead exemption; a representative of the
Libertarian Party urged the eventual elimina-
tion of all taxes, with taxation to be re-
placed by voluntary contractual relationships;
another speaker urged the group to not forget
the veteran.

Students from LSU-S proposed that students
be allowed to serve on the governing boards
of state universities; Common Cause advocated
open meetings of governmental bodies (what

Florida, which passed such a law a few years
back, calls "Government in the Sunshine"; and
strong conflict -of- interests laws; and the
League of Women Voters, shifting temporarily
from women's rights, urged that the State
Board of Education be elected- -but that the
Superintendent be appointed- -by the Board.

A gun- club spokesman urged that the right
to keep arms and ammunition be considered an
individual right, with no regulation save a
prohibition against carrying firearms con-
cealed; another Libertarian Party man asked
that the Constitution direct the transfer of
certain state and municipal services --fire
protection, water, sewerage, garbage pickup- -
to the private sector, elimination of price-
fixing, and a dispensing -with of all crimes -
without -victims: consensual sexual activity,
Blue Laws, drugs, and the like. A minister
urged that the state take utmost care in pro-
tecting the innocent as well as pursuing the
guilty in criminal procedures .

In all, over twenty people spoke at. the
afternoon session. While there was an occa-
sional question from the panel of a speaker,
there were no comments made, and so it was
unknown which- -if any- -suggestions from the
citizenry would receive favorable mention
when once again the chairmen met with their
respective committees.

Two Gent Bands Set
For Jazz, Rock Show

Hie Centenary Band and Stage Band will
present a program of band music and big band
jazz and rock Monday evening in the ampithea-
ter. The program will begin at 7:30 pm and
will be free to the public.

The program will be divided into two seg-
ments. The concert band will play the first
half of the program and the stage band will
play the second half.

An original number, composed and arranged
by Gary Hallquist, will be featured on the
stage band's portion of the program. Hall-
quist is a freshman music major and is one
of the featured jazz soloists with the band.

The concert band will play a program of
traditional band music including selections
by Kabalevsky, Vaughan Williams, Alexander,
Gliere, Jinkins, and Lerner § Loewe.

The stage band will play a program of jazz
and rock that is popular today. Selections
as recorded by Stan Kenton, Buddy Rich, Bill
Chase, and other well known bands will be
heard on the program.

In the event of rain, the concert will be
postponed.

SLEUTH

Reviewed by Tom Brom/AFS

Editor's Note: Sleuth is 'now showing at
Shreve City Cinema.

In its own literate British way, Sleuth is
as Neanderthal macho a production as the
worst of the Sam Peckinpah films. Because
the plot is so intricate, and because of the
multiple levels of meaning to the heavily
theatrical events, much of the philosophical
sting is softened. But more than enough re-
mains blatantly sadistic and sexist to place
Sleuth well within the tradition of the Brit-
ish "theatre of cruelty." Apparently they
enjoy this sort of thing.

Sleuth has a cast of two, which is why the
coming attraction trailer didn't' show any ac-
tual clips from the film. The Joseph L. Man-
kiewitz version differs only slightly from
Anthony Shaffer's play that is still' running
in London. Working from a virtually unchanged
script and confined to the interior of one
English manor house, Laurence Olivier and
Michael Caine struggle admirably to add cine-
matic subtlety to their characterizations.
Disbelief has to be suspended early and com-
pletely for the production to work. Once you
accomplish this, it's all very clever.

Olivier plays Mr. Andrew White, a terribly
urbane and wealthy writer of classic detec-
tive stories who is being cuckolded by Caine.
As a proper gentleman^ Olivier invites his
adversary home, ostensibly to strike a bar-
gain over the "goods." That is where the
games begin, inside an old museum of a house
stuffed with dolls, marionettes, glassware
and fixtures of every variety.

For his part, Caine assumes his usual
working-class role- -here the moderately suc-
cessful hairdresser son of an immigrant watch-
repairer. He has stolen a woman from the
wealthy class, and his ef fronton' is not
missed. The verbal jousting and battle of
wits that follow reflect this class antago-
nism. But the games are much more complex,
at once a rutting duel, a rough homosexual
fable, and an ethnic war.

Both sides, the English gentleman and the
cockney usurper, soon become totally enmeshed
in games of what they call "humiliation." De
Sade would have been highly entertained. In
the first round, Olivier dupes Caine into un-
dressing and donning a clown suit - -"Down to
your smalls, don't be shy," he leers. Feign-
ing preparation for a faked burglary, Olivier
rips through his wife's underwear in front
of Caine, encouraging him to join in. Later,

What Gregory P. Oiarririximus has called "The Watergate Dnbryo" hatched yesterday, sen-
ding shrill cries of awakening from the depths of the very Athletic Orfice to the hallowed
halls of Hamilton. The huge egg was discovered by Jimmie "James" Schmoburg, age eight, a
crack junior high arcneologist . Loaded by the citizenry of Belcher, Louisiana (where it
was discovered) onto Hiram Cribblecobbler's pickup, the egg came to Shreveport following
a tierce battle for possession leaving five wounded and one dead.

All attempts to cover up the story were proved futile when a Washington Post repor-
ter discovered Dean Marsh copying Robert Parish's rorged ACT papers f ran a drawer of John
Evan's safe in the President's office. Suspicious. Evans doesn't work here.

Several nationally-known paleospiegeirists (prehistoric egg specialists) have dubbed
the egg "positively unique" in that it has hexagonal markings. A concrete-and-fnasonry
structure built in lieu of an art museum remains at the base of the egg.

Would you like an encyclopedia? The Alumni Office is selling them. British ones.

having heen reduced to blubbering pleas for
mercy at the hands of the older man, Caine
describes his 'Violation" and "abasement."
Round two involves revenge, again based on

sexual humiliation. Caine taunts Olivier
with his impotence, revealed when information
from the gentleman's own mistress helps Caine
spin his intrigue. The bout ends witn Caine
bending the Englishman over a couch, sweating
in mock sodomy and gleeful at his victim's
pain. He changes clothes "afterwards."

It's all pretty ugly stuff. Throughout
there are nasty little touches of Olivier
mocking Caine as he "apes the gentry," and
Caine in his turn purposefully using Olivier 's
deodorant and cologne. They vie for the same
woman, and then like dogs, the winner screws
the loser in a dominance display.

Women, blatantly and without pretense, are
chattel. Caine humiliates Olivier by taking
his wife; in return for being frightened
nearlv to death, he again attacks indirectly
through the Englishman's mistress. Caine e-
ventually proves Olivier impotent, but it
costs him dearly.

tofriat is the point of all this? Given cer-
tain psycho/sexual appetites, I suppose it's
fun to watch. Assuming a reduction of the
human mating game to certain ungulate or ca-
nine analogies, I suppose it's a lesson in
keeping and getting a female. And it's also
a neat expression of class warfare in sexual
ter«s. Lost long ago in this screen produc-
tion, Sleuth was not incidentally a satire
of the tnglish detective novel as well.

All of this does not seem enough to ele-
vate this film to something worth remembering
for five minutes. The plot is too clever,
the sets too cluttered with bizarre props,
the lines too literate, and the acting too
melodramatic. Constructed frankly as a drama
of artifice and games. Sleuth is all tricks
and no magic. As such the film is barely
diversionary, sexist and cruel like the bulk
of current pornography. Hopefully there are
more humane diversions within us.

Dateline: CENTENARY—

Knicks vs.

J^M ***** '■ -h j|

Lakers —

Round 3

by Tom Marshall

Here we go again.

For the second consecutive year and third
time in four years, the New York Knicker-
bockers are playing the Los Angeles Lakers
for the National Basketball Association
championship.

Last year the Lakers won their first
championship since moving to the West Coast
from Minneapolis by defeating New York four
games to one. In the 1970 series, the Knicks
won a dramatic seventh game for their first
title ever. Game One of this series was
played Tuesday night at the Forum in Los
Angeles before 17,505 screaming, frenzied
fans. The Lakers won that one, 115-112,
but had to stave off a furious New York rally
after leading by as much as 20 points (93-73)
late in the contest. But that's not sur-
prising- -it was a typical Knicks -Lakers game.
Wilt Chamberlain rebounded everything in
sight, Jerry West and Gail Goodrich shot the
eyes out of the basket, and the best defen-
sive players in the league (Walt Frazier,
Dave DeBusschere, et al.) tried to stop them
and put in enough to win. That time it
didn't work- -but Game Two is tonight (9:30,
Channel 3) and it's 0-0 at the start.

The Knicks and the Lakers is really a fan-
tastic matchup. Now I know that some of you
out there (Mark McMurry and John Hardt, for
instance) think that the Lakers ought to be
playing the Boston Celtics, but it just ain't
that way. So forget it. This is THE series
now.

These two teams have everything that make
the NBA the NBA. The Forum holds 17,505 and
Madison Square Garden in New York seats
19,694, and they can put those figures down
before the game even starts because those two
arenas are always full . The Knicks have
Willis Reed, a 6-10 strongman and the Lakers
have Chamberlain, the king of all pro basket-
ball whose "Dipper Dunks" still bring jubi-
lant fans to their feet.

Then there's Jerry West, the Laker's 'Mr.
Clutch"- -the man that produces when the go-
ing is toughest. West is a winner, a true
professional. His counterpart, New York's
Walt "Clyde" Frazier, has his work cut out
for him, but Walt always seems to end up
with the ball in his hands when the Knicks
need a bucket with seconds ticking away--
and he usually makes it. He's OK, they're
OK.

How do you call a series like this? I'd
root for the Knicks against anybody but the
Lakers and the Lakers against anybody but
the Knicks. But they're playing each other,
and that's tough. Four years ago nobody
gave the Knicks a chance. But they did it--
and in even seven games . Reed is always at
his best against Wilt--but who knows. I
give it to the Knicks in seven in another
miracle finish. They just defeated the best
team in pro basketball in the Celtics, so
they ought to be able to do it to the second
best.

John Hardt says it's the Lakers in six.
Hmmm . . . .

Sigler Leaving Position

By Tom Marshall
Conglomerate Sports

Editor

"Orvis Sigler will no longer be Athletic
Director at Centenary College. His position
has been eliminated. n

That announcement was made Monday, a de-
cision reached by the Athletic Committee and
the Board of Trustees of the College, who
cited financial problems as the reason for
the cutback.

"I was shocked, but not surprised," re-
acted Sigler, who has been with Centenary
College since 1958.

"The school's got financial problems,"
acknowledged Sigler. "We knew this down
there (in the Athletic Department) , and were
aware that some day they might get to us."

Centenary College President John H. Allen
explained, "WeVe been combing our organiza-
tion and trying to suck it in for a number of
years. It's a matter of economics. We took
a good hard look at the Athletic Department
and decided that one thing that COULD be done
was to eliminate the Athletic Director as a
UNIQUE position.

"Of course, there are certain duties to be
performed. So we will have someone (within
the present structure) called the 'athletic
director' for these purposes."

When questioned about the timing of the
announcement (during the baseball season; on
the heels of the NCAA problems), Allen said,
"We had hoped to sit on it for a couple of
weeks, until the end of May, but someone
leaked it. As for the NCAA, that was just a
bad coincidence. It had nothing to do with
that."

Sigler also has served as baseball coach
for the last two seasons. As for a replace-
ment at that post, Allen opined, "There are
a couple of viable alternatives. There are
a lot of crackerjack baseball men in Shreve-
port, one of whom might be happy to get it
(the job) for a small stipend or for nothing.
Or someone on campus (I have no idea who)
might want or offer to do it. But we defi-
nitely will not hire a new full time baseball
coach."

Sigler says he is not bitter about his
dismissal. "No, I'm not mad at anybody,"
was his very definite answer. I've been here
15 years and I've put too much heart and soul
into that program to be mad. I'm too fond
of the coaches and the boys for that."

Sigler was surprised that it came this
year, though. "We had our best year finan-
cially that we've ever had," he pointed out.

The coach who compiled a 175-190 record
over his long tenure also is of the opinion
that the NCAA run-in had nothing to do with
his dismissal. "I was told by Dr. Allen and
a couple of board members that it didn't have
any tiling to do with it and I believe them.

"My biggest disappointment is that I 'm
leaving when the program in basketball is go-
ing great- -and we're making strides in base-
ball, too," commented Sigler.

Sigler gives an emphatic "No" when asked
if he thinks that the Athletic Department
can function as efficiently without an ath-
letic director. "There's a myriad of things
that the AD does --a lot of things people
don't see. There are many, many details,
even in a small program such as ours. It's
going to be tough on the coaches next year."

Willingly obliging when asked about high
points in his career at Centenary, Sigler
offered such names as Riley Wallace, Dr. Jim-
my Williams, Tom. Kerwin ('Dne of the best the
school's ever had."), Cecil Upshaw, Barrie
Haynie, and Gerald Martello as top athletes
that he's coached. The high point ot his
basketball coaching years came when the Gents
took back-to-back championships in the Gulf
South Classic in 1962-63. TVo years earlier,
in 1960, Sigler's Gentlemen defeated high-
riding Miami, who came to Shreveport ranked
sixth in the nation.

"When you consider the size and caliber of
opposition that we've played over the years,
the school and the city should be proud of
the standard we've maintained," he offered.

Centenary Freshman
Set For Tournament

by Jim Crow

Tracy Howard, a member of the Centenary
golf team, will be playing in the third annual
Shreveport Classic golf tournfcnent at East
Ridge Country Club here May 10-13.

The tournament is a satellite tournament
of the Professional Golfers Association's
Colonial Invitational tournament that will be
played that same weekend in Fort Worth, Tex.
A satellite tournament attracts professional
golfers and top amateurs who are not able to
qualify for the PGA tournament, but who are
nonetheless excellent golfers. The Shreve-
port tournament will have a smaller purse
than the Fort Worth invite, but still pro-
mises to be an exciting event.

Howard, a freshman from Baton Rouge, brings
a multitude of golfing honors to Centenary and
the Shreveport Classic. His junior year at
Broadmoor High School in Baton Rouge was his
biggest year ever. That year he won the
Southern Junior Qianpionship , and placed sev-
enth in the Junior All -American tournament
in Houston, Tex. That finish earned him an
All -American accolade from 'Tee It Up," a
national golf magazine.

Tracy was also the medalist in the Louisi-
ana state pro-junior golf tournament in New
Orleans, where he tied the low pro in the one-
round event with a 73.

His senior year at Broadnoor saw Howard
win the Lafayette Invitational high school
tournament, outplaying golfers from schools
in Arkansas, Texas, and Louisiana. That
was the high point of the season in which
Tracy averaged a low 72.5 strokes per 18
holes of play.

Howard's first year of collegiate compe-
tition fell below his expectations, his
best finish being in the top ten in the
Van Hook Collegiate Invitational in Hatties-
burg, Miss., but Ttacy hopes to do better,
starting with the Shreveport Classic.

"I had a bad season this year," concedes
Howard, "but I'm playing better now. I'm
starting to hit my putts --which is what was
hurting me. I really do feel like I'm ready
to play a good tourney- -it looks promising."

Tracy would especially like to make a
good showing here because the top amateur
automatically qualifies for the Colonial in
Fort Worth next year and, as Tracy puts it,
"That's the big one."

Howard is being sponsored in this en-
deavor by a local merchant. Student tickets
for the tournament are $1.00, with proceeds

If he had to, though, Russell thinks he could score more. "Ever since high school
•ve only averaged about 11 shots a game. I like to concentrate on other things It
takes a lot of pressure off. But I could score."

He really doesn't think he'll have to go after points, though. 'They're coine to
have other guys to score, but everybody doesn't want to get down and play hard-nose
defense. Since its so wide open, a certain amount of scoring will come."

his ability or probability of success.

"He's the kind of player that can't go unnoticed even by the professionals He
never gave ess than 100 per cent. Add a good character off thecourt, Sdthat goes
a long way,* says Little. K

This might be a strong statement," continued the Gent coach, "but the rest of them
at rookie camp better be ready to play, or they'll be cut. Melvin hasn't playea sec^d
fiddle to anyone in a long time and he won't start now.

"His outside shooting has improved, he's a good foul shooter, and he can really make
people look bad defensively. I'm not going to say 'That's fine, he got drafted, but
he won't make it,' I know he's gonna play ball."
Look out Salt Lake, Melvin Russell is on the way.

Centenary College/Shreveport , Louis i ana/Vo 1 . 67, No. 26/ Thursday, May 10, 1973

CHANGE OF COMMAND

by Taylor Caffery and John Wiggin

Surprise, surprise: You saw it on campus
posters and read it in this morning's Times .
Dr. Ted Kauss , professdr of education, has been
appointed Dean of the College, replacing
Thad N. Marsh, who is resigning (effective June
1) to resume full time teaching.

The appointment of Dean Marsh's replace-
ment was accomplished in a remarkably short
period by President John H. Allen, who was
eager to have the position filled bu the time
the Board of Trustees met today .

Dean Marsh's resivnation was announced of-
ficially iust last week.

Acc&rdina to Dr. Allen, in that week-short
period he conferred with three board members,
faculty Personnel Committee members, depart-
ment chairmen, and students "with previous
contacts through committee appointments,"
keepinq all their ideas "on my little pad."
The one basic premise of his search for a new
Dean, Dr. Allen said, was that the replacement
should come from within the college.

By Monday, he had narrowed the list down
to "no more than five names," finally breaking
the news to Dr. Kauss about 10:30 am Tuesday.

Dr. Allen told the CONGLOMERATE that there
will be little opportunity for a slow or grad-
ual phase- in period for Dr. Kauss. "We're
going to hit the ground running," he declared.
"This is going to be a working summer for the
new Dean." Specifically, Dr. Kauss will be
working on plans to improve efficiency and
initiate academic chancres.

In the following two interviews, the CONGLO-
MERATE talked to both the outgoing and the in-
coming Deans, asking for their opinions on
education today. Dr. Kauss was interviewed by

Taylor Caffery; Dean Marsh, by John Wiggin.

Dean Marsh has been at Centenary six years,
having received his A.B. from the University of
Kansas (1948) and his B.A. (1951), M.A. (1955),
and B. Litt. (1957) from the University of
Oxford. He is a full professor in the Depart-
ment of English, where he will resume a full
load in the fall .

Dr. Kauss came to Centenary just last Sep-
tember from the management consulting firm of
Cresap, McCormick and Packet, in Chicago. He
holds a doctorate from Northwestern in Evans -
ton and a bachelors degree from the University
of Wisconsin .

Dean Ted Kauss

CONGLOMERATE: Do you believe that Centenary
is currently fulfilling its educational,
social, cultural function?

KAUSS: Educationally, I think they're stay-
ing close to the mission. It's a liberal
arts school and they're providing, I
believe, a strong liberal arts program -
somewhat traditional, but a good pro-
gram.

Socially, I'm not so sure anymore what
you're supposed to be doing socially. If
you're talking af>out.a social conscience,
I think that we're trying to be really
active in the comnunity- -Open Ear, stu-
dents from the Education Department do

action agencies, and the comnunity action

The list of CONGLOMERATE feats continues
building. First there was the scoop on the
Republic of Minerva story. Then, the CON-
GLOMERATE'S cartoon on L. Patrick Gray and
his subsequent resignation. Now we find out
that of all the publications carrying the re-
cent story about the ,f St. Nicolas Cantata,"
only your favorite CONGLOMERATE spelled the
poor man's name correctly. When you're hot,

next year are Michele Armstrong, Susan Bell,
Joyce Carlson, Kay Coombs, Janet Gammill,
Mary Her ring ton, Mary Hibbard, Jane Hutterly,

every incoming call (gender, age, and the
like) are recorded and filed in the school
computer. You start as a person, you end as
a number. The way of all flesh.

One Stands Out

by Mary Oakland

Amid the noise of hiring and firing
and'shifting of chairs, one honored man
stands out. Dr. Earle Labor, professor
in the English Department, is leaving
Centenary for one year with much dis-
tinction. He will be a Fullbright
Lecturer in American Literature at Aarhus
university in Aarhus, Denmark. Receiving
the Fullbright appointment is quite a
credit to Dr. Labor and to Centenary.
In fact, Dr. Labor said, "I think it's
important that students know Centenary
has enough prestige that somebody from here
can get one of these grants."

The Fullbright Scholarships in
which teachers are "traded" were org-
anize4 in the early 1960 's. Dr. Virginia
Carlton has had two appointments to
Africa already, and Dr. Lawrence Mere-
dith, a recent Forums speaker, has been
recommended for a position in Salzburg,
Austria. The main idea, according to
Dr. Labor, is to further relations bet-
ween countries. However, Aarhus U.
hasn't had a lecturer in American Lit-
erature in five years.

Why Denmark? It's the home of Mrs,
Labor's ancestors, and the Labor children
want a chance to rediscover their "Viking"
blood. Also, "I figure it'll be a great
educational experience for the whole
family."

Dr. Labor finally broke down and con-
fessed to an ulterior motive for the
trip, "I'm planning to spread the word
about Jack London among the Danes."

The Aviation Club has found its sponsor in
the form of Dr. Nolan Shaw of the Geology De-
partment. The club hopes to begin construc-
tion on an experimental aircraft this summer.

* * * *

The Biology Club will host a steak, beer,
and vittles picnic tomorrow (Friday) afternoon
on the banks of a not too distant river. Per-
sons interested are invited to contact Dr.
McPherson of the Biology Department.

* * * *

If you graduate this May, don't plan to
receive Alumni Association material any time
soon. Reports are that graduates of the
last two years have yet to make the A. A.
mailing list. Ah, for days of Auld Lang
Syne.

* * * *

A Gingko tree, the only surviving species
of an order of plants that dates back approx-
imately 250 million years to the early Meso-
zoic Era, was planted on campus last week as
"a living memorial to the men missing in ac-
tion in Vietnam." The tree was donated and
planted by members of the Sigma Gamma Epsilon
honorary geology club. The tree, secured
from a local nursery, is probably better
known as the Maidenhair Fern Tree of the
"living fossil." It was discovered growing
in temple gardens in the Orient and has been
prized since as an ornamental tree because
of its beauty, resistance to insects, and
tolerance of air pollution. The tree is
slender, with fan shaped, fern-like leaves,
and grows to a height of 60 to 80 feet.

The Rivertown Players are on the road.
Under the sponsorship of Jack Mulkey's Green
Gold Library System, the Players are bringing
a children's theater production directed by
Anne Gremillion to fifteen North Louisiana
appearances. Campus shows of "The Mirrorman"
by Brian Way were seen last Saturday, May 5,
and May 6 at 3 pm, in Haynes Gym, with Wendy
Buchwald, Dan Christiaens, Cece Russell, Doug
Wilson, and Ms. Gremillion in the cast. This
is the fourth Children's Library Theater Tour
sponsored by the Green Gold organization.

U.S. Senator Henry M. "Scoop" Jackson will
speak in Shreveport Saturday, May 12, under
the auspices of the Shreveport Jewish Federa-
tion, at Convention Hall on the riverfront.
The program is part of the local celebration
of Israel's 25th anniversary. The meeting
is free, and open to all.

Through diligent effort, the CONGLOMERATE
has discovered the plans for this year's Bac-
calaureate and Commencement exercises.

At Commencement, the featured Speaker will
be Dr. Edgar Hull, who is concluding a long
and fulfilling career with the LSU system.
There will be no speaker at the Baccalaureate;
rather than the usual sermon, there will be
Benjamin Britten's 40 -minute Cantata, Saint
Nicolas .

Dr. Hull, by the way, will receive an hon-
orary degree, as will Mr. Baxter Dee Good-
rich, chairman of the Board of Texas Eastern
Dr. Hull will be designated a Doctor of Hu-
mane Letters, and Mr. Baxter a Doctor of
Laws.

next year's CONGLOMERATE staff, with Cindi

seick, Maurie Wayne, Taylor Caffery, and Su-

Bring the Books Home

The Library needs your help in getting
those books back so that they can circulate
for another year rather than just fade away.
Be sure to check such likely spots as your
roonmate's waste basket and your favorite
bench in the Crumley Gardens to be sure that
the books that you have borrowed are returned
to the Library.

Should you find any library- books anywhere,
the Library will appreciate having them re-
turned. Beginning May 17, the book drop by
the main door will be open twenty -four hours
a day for the anonymous return of strayed li-
brary materials- -no questions asked.

Meanwhile, all books are officially due on
May 17. Individuals who need books after
this date can make arrangements for special
borrowing at the Circulation Desk. Otherwise,
there will be no graduation and no transcripts
after May 17 unless you are clean with the
Library.

May the 19th will see a great bicycle mi-
gration. The Ozark Society is sponsoring a
bicycle ride that day, starting in the morn-
ing by pedalling South to the plantation of
Lloyd Nay lor, stopping for lunch, and then
heading homeward once again. The plantation
is about 10 miles (flat surface) out, near
the YMCA Camp; Mr. Harrington describes the
journey as "an easy ride and no problems. "

For more facts, call Mr. Nay lor at either
868-7061 (home) or 423-8183 (business).

The Ozark Society also has announced its
outing schedule for June and the rest of May,

WEEKLY MAIL

WHAT IS A DORM VIOLATION?

To the Editor:

This is my first letter in eight years and
I hope my last for the simple reason that the
Security Officers MUST remain impartial, keep
his own personal feelings buried deep, serve
many masters, and carry out all instructions
even though they may be distasteful at times.
I am writing this now only to correct the
linking of President Allen's name with my
action on Lobby visitation. He has enough
problems and I am man enough to stand on my
own actions. If you want the true facts, ask
me and I will give them to you. They are as
follows: at a recent Faculty/Student disci-
plinary meeting to which I was invited to
clear up a charge that I had shown preferred
treatment in not reporting two girls who were
in the entrance door at Cline off Kings High-
way, the question was raised, "What is a vio-
lation?" I offered the statement "that any-
where under the roof should be fair and clear
to everyone so that there would not be any
misunderstanding." There were no objections
and it was left at that. It was pointed out
to me at this meeting also that failure to
sign in and out was a violation. This was
very interesting since Rotary had never main-
tained an "in and out" register. My efforts
to get a fair shake for the students, that I
might be called upon to put on report, result-
ed with a register being made available in
Rotary, with a letter from a Resident, stat-
ing that HE was being compelled to put one
there. I don't ever want the Security sec-
tion placed in a position of compelling any-
one to do a job that they should have been
doing all along, (I think)...

All of us Night people know what is going
on and I for one am in favor of keeping the
Security Officers out of the dormitory acti-
vity. If the dorm activity spills over into
the outside areas as the fireworks did re-
cently, resulting in six City Patrol cars
being tied up most of the morning investigat-
ing a citizen's complaint about being fired
upon, then and only then, should be Security
people take action. Or, as happened on May
3, a couple left Cline dorm by the door on
Kings Highway at 12:35 A.M. When I question-
ed them, they said "they had been to a party

gave them a strong warning.)

A little knit-picking on the statement that

it is this, students, you have said many times

This is a time in your life to develop char-
acter, honesty, and a deep desire to graduate
from the BEST College in the world--then let's

To the Editor:

DAVID LAWRENCE IS TO BE 0QMENDED FOR his
efforts in identifying three junior teen age
boys he caught breaking bottles in the band
shell this afternoon. This is OUR campus and
it is hoped that the spirit of taking care of
what we are paying for from outsiders will .

THANKS FOR THE HELP

To the Editor:

We would like to thank all of you who
have helped us with prospective students
this year. We know that these students
have enjoyed their visits to our campus
because several of them have urged their
friends to visit, too; others have written
and told us how friendly our students
and faculty are; and most important of
all, some have liked the atmosphere here
so much that they will be attending
Centenary next fall. Thanks for being
a great student body and faculty- -and. . .
Charlie Priebe, we promise not to call
you again this semester.

Sincerely,
Mary Ann and Mark
BLUSH!

To the Editor:

Before you relinquish the reins -as
editor of the CONGLOMERATE, I want you to
know that I appreciate the work you have
done for the paper over the past two
years. I think few people on this cam-
pus realize how much work and time goes
into the production of the paper. I
am afraid yours is one of those thankless
jobs that gets the brickbats when things
go wrong, but little praise for the
excellent work you have done.

You are to be congratulated for your
efforts in reporting the campus news
and to stand up for what you believe to
be right.

Sincerely,
Maurie Wayne
SITTING ON THE NEWS

Dear Editor:

I quote from your article of last week an-
nouncing the leaving of Coach Sigler:

President Allen: "we were going to sit on
it for a while but somehow it leaked out.'
The administration of the college must be-
lieve that students should be seen and not
told. Why is it that we must read about per-

sonnel changes in the Shreveport newspapers?
After all, is this private(?) college not
for the students? To top the situation, a
Pomeranean told me they learn of personnel
changes from the students.

Are the students turning into Pomeraneans?
Why must we "sit on things"?

Rick Clark

Editor's Note: According to Dr. Allen, Coach
Sigler requested that the announcement be de-
layed until the end of baseball season. "I
have an obligation to honor the individual 's
request for a delay," Dr. Allen told me Mon-
day, mentioning the cases of both Coach Sig-
ler and Dean Marsh. But once the news is out,
he said, "I'm the one who gets caught." — TLC

IT ISNT MYSTERY MEAT
To the Editor:

Oh, Thad N. Marsh is stepping down
From his high post as Dean;
To return to English teaching,
And make the Jackson scene.

No reason yet is coming forth
As to why this move was made.
Is it the job--or that the school's
Too poor to have him paid?

I 've been at Centenary one full year,

And cannot understand

Why any might not think of us

As the best school in the land.

So that he doesn't like the place
The cause just cannot be.
And even I, a Texan, am
Too shy to think it's me.

Perhaps the food that's daily served
In the sty that's called the Caf
Is causing him to quit- -I bet
It's often made him laugh.

But, no, he would still yet

Be forced that food to eat,

So whatever Dean Marsh 's reason is ,

It isn't Mystery Meat.

If not the pay--the school--the food
Or even Maul in' Mort,
I wonder just what can it be
That's cutting his term short?

After pon 'drill' all the likelihoods,
And ending up quite bushed,
I wonder if rather than "stepping down"
Our Dean, Thad Marsh, was pushed?

CAMBODIA: GOOD LORD!

by Jess Gilbert

SHREVEPORT , 1973

Jefferson! thou shouldst be living at
this hour: America hath need of thee---

While the nation's interest appears en-
gulfed by the Watergate conspiracy, another
far more significant crime- -at least in terms
of hunan life- -should not be forgotten: the
American bombing of Southeast Asia.

The Preface to one of the manv recent
books on Vietnam and her neighbors, The Air
War in Indochina, states: 'The facts that
[the etti tors] gathered demonstrate That the

We're serious
about selling Louisiana.

All of us at the Louisiana Investor Owned Electric Companies learned
long ago that progress just isn t a miracle you have to make it happen
That s why we re making efforts to bring new life to every area of our
state s economy

Our specialists work every day in the fields of industrial and com-
munity development economic advancement, tounst promotion and
other progressive areas This work often takes our people throughout
the nation telling the Louisiana story to business executives, govern-
ment officials and orhewteasion-makers

The result? More jobs An active economy An improved environment
Additional recreational outlets Steady trade Innovative cultural activi-
ties Enlarged educational facilities And better-planned cities

We do more than provide dependable electnc power We re helping
sell Louisiana And that s a 10b where we all profit now and in the future

The U.S. government releases pictures of
POW' s coming home, but the bombing continues .

employment of American air power in Indochina
years ago reached a level of calculated
slaughter that may gravely violate the laws
of war, laws the United States has pledged
itself to uphold and enforce. The evidence
speaks for those who wish to hear it."

Our' bombs have destroyed villages of no
military value. At Nuremberg that was a war
crime.

Earing all of World War II the* United
States dropped about 2,000,000 tons of muni-
tion; in Indochina at the end of 1971 the
figure was nearly 7,000,000. This fact de-
serves particular attention: During the
years 1968 and 1969 the United States dropped
almost 2,000,000 tons of ordnance on SOUTH
VIETNAM, which is the count ry that we're
"saving." Good Lord save US.

By sinner of 1972 wc attain reached this,
our past peak performance: 100,000 tons per
month. But recall last December 18: The
final two weeks of 1972 witnessed the most
massive air attacks of the entire War. And
during March of 1973 the United States
dropped (how many yesterday?) 39,000 tons
of bombs on Cambodia, another of those coun-
tries that we're "delivering." Good Lord
deliver US.

The Preface continues: "But if the fact
that the United States has dropped 764,000
tons of bombs and other aerial explosives on
Indochina in 1971 is not known- to most Ameri-
cans, it is agonizingly sensed by the peoples
of Cambodia, Laos, and North and South Viet-
nam. Their most tangible perception of Ameri- -
ca is death from the sky... Unlike the hunan
terrorist [such as Palestinian guerillas, the
IRA, and, some say, the Black Panthers], the
mechanical bomb cannot discriminate its vie- :
tims. It kills and maims wil ly-niUy." Com-
pare this with Henry Kissinger's: "No posi-
tive program of comterinsurgency can succeed
unless the population feels safe from terror
or reprisal."

The difficulty arises -you see --for most
of us anyway, not from the fact that we're
bombing the peoples of Indochina into obli- "3
vion, for few (excepting William Everson and
his types) would deny the dire necessity of
stopping a Hitler by whatever (nearly) means
available- -and besides, perhaps these tiny
countries in Southeast Asia produce warriors
insensible to suffering and practically, to
death-. But no; the difficulty (a far more
fundamental one) arises out of the very dis-
tinct possibility that, all this time, the
United States has been fighting, not its Hit-
ler, but the Vietnamese 'K*orge Washington."
That is, we're on the wrong side. We are the
dirty Brits. We are the Nazi invaders.

How few of us are aware that the Declara-
tion of Independence of the Democratic Repub-
lic of Vietnam (North Vietnam), September 2,
1945, begins with a quotation from an earlier,
•lMil ar such document 0

"'All men are created equal. They are en-
dowed by their Creator with certain inalien-
able rights, among these are Life, Liberty,
and the pursuit of Happiness. '"

A commentator has written: 'The political
philosophy of the Declaration of Independence*
[ours, this time] is the distinctively Ameri-
can dream that there are certain things -such
as burning little children to death with na-
palm, or sentencing to hard labor writers who
speak out against government policims- -which
must not be tolerated in any society under
any circumstances . "

So much for our treatment of Vietnam and
her neighbors.

fti a broader view, however, is it possible
that these United States of America have be-
come, in the words of Arnold Toynbee, "the
leader of a world-wide ant i -revolutionary
movement in defence of vested interests'*?
Good Lord

dents' own social development, I think
there are some traditional kinds of
things that are being done here too that
I didn't see at, for instance, North-
western I diversity. People up there
tend to be "real cool" and will reject
the formal dances. Even the fraterni-
ties up there will be at best surviving
where I think here they're thriving.
CONGLOMERATE : How do these social activities
--the dances --and the social conscience
activities relate to an academic atmo-
sphere?

KAUSS: I think the social conscience acti-
vities have a very definite part because
I think the committment has --well, you
read the billboards: One contribution
to the collage and to the community- -I
think this college is a very important
part of the community, and our academic
programs have to prepare or free people
to do some of these community activities.

As far as the dances and parties and
so on, I think the Compleat Person has
to have some opportunities to have some
fun.

CONGLOMERATE: Do you think that Centenary
students are here to learn?

KAUSS: First of all, I don't work with any
freshmen, so I don't know what they come
for initially.

CONGLOMERATE: Some people have claimed that
the academic atmosphere is "hurting."

KALISS: I'm not sure if they come to learn.
I think the people in the Education De-
partment, at least the ones I've been
working with, have a career goal. Almost
all of them want to be teachers. Because

of that, I think that they, definitely,
have come to learn a skill or skills, to
become successful teachers.

Now, I'm not so sure how many students
are here to become scholars of any sort.
I think that most of them want to pass
the tests. Now that doesn't mean neces-
sarily that they want to learn. They
want to get the information needed to
pass the test and go on to the next level .
But the ones I've encountered, I think
most of them want to learn.

Now, whether our educational environ-
ment is a stifling one, I can't answer
that for other classrooms. I know about
my own, and have visited a few others a-
long the line. I've felt that many of
the students are conscientious about
their work. Now whether its because they
want to learn or because they want to
survive, I'm not sure.

CONGLOMERATE: Is a grading system the most
effective way to prepare a person for
his future , or is it the most effective
way to prepare a person for future tests?

KAUSS: It's another traditional way, it's
a way to do it, and its the most accep-
ted way, even to the students.

CONGLOMERATE: Dean Marsh, who's stepping

down, was pretty instrumental at bringing
about a pass/ fail system at Centenary,
and now he's not so happy with the way
it's working.

KAUSS: I like the pass /fail . We in educa-
tion, at least with one of our senior
courses, the internship, insist on pass/
fail. It's a valuable experience, but
there's no way you can say somebody got

May 10, 1973

A or C or D, so we don't think it's an
effective way to evaluate that experience.
A grade itself is really a shortened ver-
sion of an evaluation, and I think that
every professor should be able to sit
down and write an evaluation of a stu-
dent if the student would want that--
really sit down with the student and
discuss his performance.

At this time I 'm certainly not in
favor of abolishing grades because
they're accepted by almost everyone in
the public, so I don't think that that
would necessarily at this time be a step
to take.

CONGLOMERATE : Do you have any causes?
KAUSS: I'd hate to admit that I didn't
have any. I like to think that I do
have some. Whether I have a mission,
I would hope to work closely with people
and help. Now that I'm changing my role
I hope to develop teachers who could work
very closely with individuals, very hu-
man kinds of people. If I have a cause,
it's to try to turn out people who will
be successful in the teaching profession.
Now I 'm going to have to look at a broa-
der picture and see what my cause is.

Right now my cause is to help Centen-
ary remain a high quality institution.

CONGLOMERATE: To maintain quality in educa-
tion, a lot of people think a college
should require a wide variety of sub-
jects outside of a student's major. Now,
Centenary has drifted away from this in
the last four or five years. Would you
se a return, for instance, to the foreign
language requirement?

KAUSS: I wouldn't be carrying a banner to
save a department, but I believe that
we might require a return to that app-
roach. But please, at this time I'd hate
to say that I advocate it, because
there's a strong segment that believes
a student should just elect to take any-
thing he wants, and I think that we're
providing the best of many worlds by
saying, "Hey, look. We're giving you a
lot of freedom within certain constraints ,
certain parameters." We have a system
where people can elect to take sciences
or math.

CONGLOMERATE: I understand that the Math De-
partment next year is running one level
of calculus at "Go At Your Own Pace."
How can this concept be applied to other
courses? Has anybody tried to do that
here?

KAUSS: We do have independent study.

CONGLOMERATE: But this is just a regular,
basic calculus course.

KAUSS: Math, of course, is a little easier
to measure achievement in. You can say
that by this time they should have ach-
ieved a certain level, and they should
have mastered these concepts. They can
really test exactly what they're looking
for. In some of the other areas it isn't
quite that easy.

CONGLOMERATE: One student tells me that
he considers the faculty to be his hired

student -faculty attitude?
KAUSS: I think what he's saying is a little

radical perhaps, a little drastic. I
would hope there would be a slightly
different relationship. The professor,
I think, should serve as adviser and
consultant, and in that way help students.
As an adviser he would give personal
attention and assistance, and as a con-
sultant he would offer the expertise he
Dosesses, or at least serve them as a
learning facilitator to guide them to
the knowledge or assistance that they
seek. So I see the role as an advisor-
consultant.

You know, we are hired to serve the
students, and I don't like to think of
us as hired hands. I think more of
civil servants as hired hands.

ODNCLOMERATE: Do you think that it's proper
that student representatives not be
allowed at faculty meetings' 7

KAUSS: Oh, no. I think that student repre-
sentatives ought to be at faculty meet-
ings. I think the only time, especially
since we now have these "sunshine laws"
in Louisiana and I would hope all parts
of the country, that I would be opposed
to that would be in personnel matters
where you could damage the reputation
of an individual by opening a meeting.

As a matter of fact, I would not be
opposed to students having voting rights
--at least, the officers of the student
government. That is my opinion, of
course. The faculty would have to bring
forward any policy changes.

Dean Thad Marsh

In an effort to obtain sort of a '*parting
shot" from Dean Marsh before he steps down
frcn the Dean's chair, I interviewed him a-
bout his reflections on academe. Below is
seme of what .he had to say:

OONGMHBRfljPB; How do you feel about the aca-
demic atmosphere around the college as a
whole?

MARSH: Let roe just say candidly that the aca-
demic atmosphere around Centenary could be
much better than it is, which doesn't mean
that I have any pat answers on how to a-
chieve it. I think that student concerns
are much less academic than they could be.
1 think when students boccmc l^set about
something it is less likely to be some-
thing academic or intellectual than it is
something social or kind of peripheral...
1 think students' intellectual concerns
reflect faculty concerns - -and I wouldn't
even say that the intellectual atmosphere
of the faculty is as stimulating or vi-
brant as I could wish for. I do think
they're devotee
and education.

sits talked excitedly about the
>rk they were doing, but I've
been in far more places where they talk as
if it were drudgery and more or less Mean-
ingless to their central concerns. I think
this is partly students' fault.

I do think that the faculty's interest in
intellectual svatters (is important ]- -and
I'd really like to distinguish there be-
tween intellectual and academic, because

the atmosphere of a college is much more
dependent upon the intellectual leadership
of the faculty than it- is the academic
leadership.

People can get an education anywhere as
long as there is some intellectual ferment,
but without it, it doesn't matter how good
the academic organization and procedures
are, not many people are going to get it.
It's an infection, not a transfer of goods

I would hope that the students' Academic
Affairs Committee would be more concerned
with ideas than with means. All over the
country in the last few years I've seen
colleges and universities became stagnant
by total concentration upon means and pro-
cedures and mechanisms rather than with
the pursuit of learning and the attitude
of intellectual playfulness about ideas.
I think that if it doesn't have that in-
gredient of playfulness, the atmosphere is
not going to be stimulating.

Oie of the things in the realm of mechanics
and procedures that I think is stultifying
intellectually is overemphasis on examina-
tion- -and I really think we've got that
here. I think there's far too much test
ing and not enough 'butting heads" with
ideas and building on a synthesis and on
perceived relationships among ideas. It
doesn't matter to me whether that's in
chemistry, geology, history, or philosophv.
You can do it anywhere...
00NGI>OMERATE: Do you consider it the obliga-
tion of a teacher to stimulate the intel-
lectual ferment you spoke of earlier?
MUSH: Yes, primarily so. Otherwise, I don't
know why you [the students] should come
to a college at all. It's to encounter
the teacher that is the primary reason for
going to an educational institution and
it's to encounter the teacher more direct-
ly and more personally that is the sole
justification I can see for the expense
of a small private college...
CONGLOMERATE : How do you feel about the pass-
fail system which you took part in imple-
menting at Centenary?
MARSH: I am not very happy with the prevalent
attitudes toward it and the prevalent uses
of it. I think it's a good theory, but I
don't think here or anywhere else it has
worked very well --mainly because students
are so inbued with the idea that what you
do is get through the quickest and most
painless way you can... Hie only justifica-
tion of the pass -fail system is for enrich-
ment outside the areas where one is in-
tending to be professionally involved...
The pass-fail idea is primarily for reliev-
ing grade pressure so that exploration and
enrichment can take place. I have seen
very little evidence that this is the case
...It [pass -fail system] should only be
used for enticing the student into an area
that he otherwise wouldn't explore.

The interview ended with Marsh stating that
what is needed to a greater degree at Centen-
ary is a "lively interchange among students
and faculty who meet each other as nearly as
possible on friendly and equal grounds and
focus on the intellectual work . It's the
disciplined encounter and attack on real pro-
blem that comprises the educational experi-
ence. "

Senate IRe&yit

The Senate held a meeting in the Centenary
Room of the cafeteria Wednesday, May 9.
There were no absences. Dr. Kauss was con-
gratulated on becoming the new Dean.

Barry Williams, reporting on Educational
Policies made it known that the hour system
will go into effect in September, 1974 as
opposed to the course system we have now.

The Student Life Committee voted against
a nrooosal to lock the wen's dorms after
visiting hours.

The Senate anoroved the new election by-
laws .

The cheerleaders again came under dis-
cussion with the decision to elect cheer-
leaders at the beginning of the year.

Insurance will be purchased on the Senate
equinment to orotect it against possible
theft, or whatever.

It was announced that Sissy Wiggm is the
student representative on the Educational
Policies ConHuttee.

Under Acaieric Affairs, John Wi**in is

A REVIEW OF DESIRE UNDER THE ELMS'

The Classic Triangle Reclassified

by Debbie Cox

Three people, each with a longing for un-
derstanding, a need to achieve their under-
stood positions in life and a desire to own
the same farm in order to fulfill their other
two needs, and finally, with only each other
to manipulate in order to fulfill them, can
only make a most complicated love-triangle .
The people are characters in Eugene O'Neill's
"Desire Under the Elms," currently being per-
formed at Marjorie Lyons Playhouse. The play
deals with the interrelationship of three e-
qually strong-minded, single -purposed charac-
ters .

The main characters are Ephraim Cabot
(played by Charlie Brown) , the aging owner of
the New England Farm; Eben (played by Jeff
Hendricks), his son by a second marriage; and
Abbie (played by Jodie Glorioso) , his recent-
ly taken third wife. Two other sons, Simeon
and Peter, are portrayed by Jess Gilbert and
David Egan. They appear only in Part One of
the play, for in that short space of time
they abandon their chances of ever owning the
farm in order to go west and get -rich -quick
on gold. They are to be applauded for their
interpretations of man-sized, adolescent-
minded men and their uninhibited ability to
make pigs of themselves. Their acting was
slow at first, but they loosened up quickly
(once they had had vittles , a scratch or two
and a good night's sleep) and they made a
most entertaining exit.

With these two out of the way, the veri-
table battle of wits begins. Ephraim, Abbie,
and Eben are each subject to some individual
motivation. Ephraim seems to be motivated
by a desire to be assured of his endurance
or his immortality. To fulfill this need he
begats sons. His marriage is obviously his
attempt to realize a more sensitive side of
his personality, but he is never able to a-
chieve this realization; he constantly mocks
soft people and soft notions. Abbie is the
embodiment of the archetypal earth Mother/
dark mother figure. To preserve what is hers
she may destroy. Abbie 's initial motivation
is the need to have a home, in effect to
"feather her nest." To relieve the frustra-
tion of being rootless, mateless and. child-
less for years, she marries -the old man. She
is a fallen queen in need of a throne and
subjects. However, once Ephraim provides for
these needs, she finds Eben a more suitable
mate. Her motivation becomes the arousal,
persual, and capture of the young man's love.

Charlie Brown and Jodie Glorioso are natu-
ral players for their roles, not only in ap-
pearance, but in their ability to interpret
mature characters. Charlie is especially ef-
fective in interpreting the old man's lonli-
ness and his strong personal relationship
with the force he calls God. If Jodie's por-
trayal of a frustrated, confused woman lacks
something in sensitivity it is relieved by
her convincing acting.

Eben, played by Jeff, is motivated by many
frustrations, but the chief one is his desire
to avenge the death of his weak mother whom
he is convinced Ephraim killed through inat-
tention and hard work. Although taking his
father's wife might relieve the vengance moti-
vation, the intensity of the relationship and
the murder of his and Abbie 's child only con-
fuses and frustrates him more than ever.
Jeff's interpretation in the scene in which
he learns of his son's murder is especially
effective. Although Charlie and Jodie give
no less than fine performances, I think Jeff
is the player who deserves the most commenda-
tion. His acting is always fresh and always
convincing. It is characterized by a sensi-
tivity that can only come from an understand-
ing appreciation of O'Neill's character.
„ I think two scenes deserve special* atten-
tion: the scene in which Ephraim recites his
rendition of the Song of Songs is most typi-
cal of Charlie's and Jodie's fine interpreta-
tion of their characters, and the party scene
is evidence of Buseick's ability to use many
different players and actions to reinforce
the "desire" motif--I enjoyed Dan Qiristiaens'
and Art Hebert's portrayals very much here.

Finally, the set and the lighting is un-
questionably effective. I wish my apprecia-
tion of the technical effects was greater; I
can only say they add to the play immeasur-
ably and that the lighting is beautifully ef-
fective. The set is handsone, functional,
and convincing -in short, it contributes to
the play as a character might (indeed, the

house is said to have its own personality)
instead of being just a set.

The production is entertaining, absorbing,
and properly tragic. Performances continue
Thursday through Saturday nights.

Find Answer Within,
Dr. Cox Tells Chapel

There was an art form at the beginning of
this century known as Futurism, a form- -es-
pecially in drama- -which glorified the Ma-
chine Age and the wonders of technology. To-
day, sixty years later, many still look to
scientific advance as the great white hope
of Mankind.

This is a mistake, the Philosophy Depart-
ment's Dr. Cox warned last Thursday's Chapel
service. Technology is not the cure-all some
would picture it as.

Talking or drug abuse, Dr. Cox observed
that he found such practice difficult to un-
derstand among a generation claiming to op*-
pose pollution of the environment. If pollu-
tion is evil, he asked, why do so many pol-
lute their bodies so?

There must be a reason for such apparently
contradictory behavior, he noted, and then
stated that drug use was likely an attempt
to find a solution to the problems which so-
ciety today must cope with.

He asked rhetorically if, were a pill
without harmful side effects to be developed
(there are none yet) which produced the psy-
chelicism of the current harder drugs, drug-
taking could then be considered proper. He
answered by saying that the history of reli-
gion shows that attempts to "find the answer"
through drugs are always abandoned. While
great religions begin with the use of drugs,
their use doesn't last, probably because the
promise they hold out is invariably broken.
Indeed, he said, they generally created more
problems, apparently, than they cured.

The conclusion then, he remarked, is that
chemical means of seeking an end to the dif-
ficulties drugs attempt to dispel are not a
solution, but rather an extension of what he
labeled the problem; they are part of the
naivete of Western Man, who believes that
technology can cure every ill- -spiritual as
well as physical without the requirements of
effort and discipline.

Dr. Cox drew his service to a close with
the observation that salvation could not be
understood only in religious terms, but also
in terms of psychological and aesthetic.

Star Trek, SF, and The Future

by DeLane Anderson

Television series, according to recent
Fottjk speaker No man Spinrad, are not a good
■ethod of presenting science fiction- -or any-
other good fiction for that Batter. His rea-
soning is that continuing episodes require
that nothing can happen to the main charac-
ters; their personalities cannot change nor
can they die.

Norman Spinrad is a *rriter, primarily of
science fiction hut also of scientific non-
fiction and literary criticisms. He is cur
rently writing a novel not science fiction
and a series for Analog on important scienti
fic thinkers of the twentieth century. He is
Vice-President of the Science Fiction Writers
of America.

Star Trek was used as a further example of
why television is especially bad /or science
fiction. The series 1 i Vr? most programs had
a limited budget which restricts the writers'
inventiveness. The directors were therefore
interested in how much the sets would cost
which led to one major set for all the shows
- the Starship Rnterprizc . .Spinrad did write
one script for the program "The Doomsday
Hachine" -but was not pleased with the way it
was done. He suggested that the only way
science fiction could be done well on televi
sion was in a show like Night cillery of
which he did not have a very high opinion- -or
Twilight Zcnc. Comic books would be a better
medium, however, since the author can be as
imaginative as he likes for the same cost as
being unima^inat ive .

He attributes Star Tree's current popular
ity to the rime of day it is on rather than
change in the ^erican public's tastes. The
reason he fives for its consistently low rat
ings the first time around was that it was
too late for the audience it appealed to most.
It was put on Friday prime time to kill it.

For all the Star Trek fans, however, it
will be in cartoon form on .Saturday mornings
this fall. Dorothy Ran tana story editor for
the first season and a half of the program's
existence- -will be in charge. There will be
new scripts but the actor's voices will be
the same.

Spinrad is also a member of the Committee

For the Future, whose objective is to save
the World by 197o. TSe committee feels that
the world's problems are caused by hiawn con
sciousness evolving into a new stage while in
st i tut ions and technology are remaining con
stant. The solvit ion is, natural Iv enoqgh, to
modify the institutions and to spend more time
and monev ijxiat in>: technology. To accomplish
this they wish to h.ivr a Civilian Sky lab for
research on possible ir*iustries which can be
carried on in sp/u c These would be indus
tries which cause too much pollution on e.irth
and industries which would be suited to vac-
uums such as the possible manufacturing of
hollow ball bOWingi and various tvpes of
metallurgy.

The two states of human consciousness in-
volved are "earthbo<ff>d man" and \wu vrrs.il

' "Earthbound man" is characterized as
believing in absolutes. According to Spinrad
he feels that if everyone received a proper
education, then all would value things in the
same way. 'Universal Man," however, sees the
multiple realities of situations and that
they can be viewed in different manners.

Thus, the Committee for the Future plans
to save the world by developing as their
motto proclaims- -"New Worlds in Space and New

DAMAGE FROM SUWDAY HI GIFT'S STORM. This tail

leaving a pile of firewood for those brave
enough to take it awau. This surgeon-
acrobat thrilled passers-bu Wednesday as he
slashed awau a limb at a time. Another
storm another tree.

Worlds on Earth."

I#*en asked to comment on Kurt Vonnegut ,
Spinrad said that 'he is a science fiction
writer who claims that he is not." He added
that Vonnegut does not want to be classified
as a science fiction writer because publishers
do not give their books publicity. They are
content, he says, to just put a rocket ship
on the cover of science fiction books.

Dateline: CENTENARY-

by Tom Marshall

Well, it's 12:07 a.m., Thursday, May 10,
and I'm sitting here in the good ol'
CONGLOMERATE office trying to write my
last column. (And you thought that the
CONGLOMERATE deadline was Tuesday at 5!)

As usual, I'm the last one up here in
--SUB 205, but that doesn't really matter.
After all, how many people get to sit in
SUB 205 in the middle of the night? (How
many would want to?)

But back to the do int. The last column.
Being a freshman at the 'Nary, and having
served as CONGLOMERATE Sports Editor for
one semester, and not coming back to the
'Nary next year, I would like to make a
few comments about the way I see things
here (after all, what can they do, fire
me?), and just generally say a few things
that my position (not coming back) allows
me to say without fear of repercussions.

First of all, all the traditional
good-bye junk. I've really enjoyed my
year here at Centenary, and in some ways
I wish that I was coming back. After all,
where else would I get a chance to watch
the best seven-foot college basketball
Dlayer in the nation mature into one of
the best centers in any kind of basketball?
But bigger, and greater (I'm told) things
lie where I'm headed (University of Mis-
souri-- journalism school), so--why not?
Good luck to next year's Sports Editor,
Paul Overly, and the rest of the staff
(If ya'll make it under John Hardt . . .
ya'll will make it under John Hardt).

I 'm not going to say that the students
at Centenary College are apathetic, because
I don't think that's true. I'm not even
going to say that students here are apa-
thetic concerning the sports program, al-
though I'm not as sure about that. I know
that sports is not everyone's big thing,
but gollee guys, I think maybe there could
be a little excitement for things other
than basketball (and the only really big
excitement there was for Houston and maybe
Texas) .

I also feel that the efforts of many
people deserve a great deal more recognition
than they get. For instance, Larry Little is
the head man in basketball, but I'm sure that
he'd agree with me that Riley Wallace is as
important to him as his right. arm. And yet
- (and I'm as guilty as anyone), Little's name
is the only that always shows up when credit
is do-led out- -many times the only name.
That's not too cool. Look at Miss Settlemire

vork she

th the

I i t00 » but y° u don't read about her.
V And Orvis Sigler. I am of the opinion
(and it's just an opinion) that the Athletic
Director should be aware of what is going on
in hzs department, and I therefore feel that
part of the blame for what SEE1S to have
happened in the Robert Parish-NCAA case falls
on his shoulders. But I also know that Orvis
Sigler watched the Houston game, without a
doubt the biggest game played in Shreveport
while he was at Centenary and staged in the
Gold Dome (a dream that he helped make a
reality) from a television in his office,
just because he felt that there were other
people he would rather see sitting in the
choice seats in the front rows rather than
himself. And there was work to be done
And he did it.

There are others --and there are all
contributing to an athletic program that is
on the move. Robert Parish was onlv the start.
If the Gents can weather the storm that is
now raging, the program will continue to
grow. I hope I can come back and see it some
day, and say that I remember way back in
1973 when I was a freshman here and how
great its grown since that time. The students
are the key. If they show that they feel
that athletics major college athletics
as well as the smaller programs -- have a
definite place at Centenary College, then
those programs will continue to grow.

It's now 1:58 a.m., and I'm going to
bed .

Gents Split with Wildcats
To Close 1317 Season

PINEVILLE--The Centenary College Baseball
Gentlemen closed out their 1973 season with
a victory here today, defeating the Louisiana
College Wildcats 2-1 in the second game of a
doubleheader.

Louisiana College won the first game 4-3
in eight innings.

The victory enabled outgoing coach and
Athletic Director Orvis Sigler 's Gents to
finish with a 13-17 record. Last year, the
Gents turned in a 10-30. worksheet.

In the first game, the Gents overcame a
one -run deficit when Dave Olson walked and
Perry Peyton reached on an error. Don Bir-
kelbach lifted a sacrifice fly, scoring Olson,
then Dave Deets slammed a two -run homer, his
fifth circuit blow of the season. The Wild-
cats tallied two runs in the fourth; and in
the eighth winning pitcher Mike Douchant
scored on a single by Glen Ford.

The second game was highlighted by Jim
Bonds' and Perry Peyton's combined four-
hitter and Don Birkelbach's RBI single in the
fifth inning.

Worthy of note in this particular double-
header were the three double plays turned in
by the Gents (they had worked only two in
twenty -eight previous games) , and the two
hits by Emmett Treadaway, who started the
second game after spending most of the year
as a pinch- runner. They were his first
(and last) hits of the year.

last home appearance, dropped two well-

game, the Bulldogs jumped on J im Bonds
for four runs in the third inning and
added a fifth in the sixth. Paul Young

The second game saw tight pitching
by Jerry Peyton and a timely two- run
single by Don Birkelbach, but it wasn't
enough and a seventh inning rally was
abruptly ended when a line shot off the
bat of Mike Paulson was snared by
Tech's third baseman.

Looking back on the season, Sigler com-
mented, "I felt at the beginning of the year
that if we broke even we'd have a good sea-
son considering the tough schedule. They've
had a tremendous attitude despite everything."

guard position, according to Little. "We
need help there," he added, "since both
early season starters (Tlelvin Russell and
Milton Home) graduated and the oqly re-
turnee with significant playing time will
be senior Dave Deets."

'Todd should help fill the bill for the
Cents for the next two years. An excellent
olaymaker, he quarterbacked Santa Ana into
the state quarterfinals last season,
averaging over 10 assists per game during
the conference season. Making Ron doubly
dangerous is his excellent outside shoot-
ing, averaging 15.2 points on a team that
had six players in double figures. A care-
ful shooter, Todd shot at a 58 per cent
clip from the field while hitting on 79
from the foul line.

Among his honors this past year were
selections as first team all tournament
in the San Francisco Skyline Classic,
first team in the All-South Coast Con-
ference, and a final scoring average which
placed him third among all guards in San-
ta Ana Junior College history.

'Todd is a complete ballplayer,"
Coach Little notes. 'He should provide
excellent defensive help as well as of-
fensive fire power, having played among
some of the best competition on the '
West Coast."
