BIRTH
OF

inne Hulton was a native Bostonian
and sister to Henry Hulton, the Com-
missioner of Customs. She really is not
that different from other women in
Boston with the exception that she had
closer ties than most with England. Her
version of the Battle for Lexington and
Concord sheds a great deal of light on
the human drama of those days.
One out of every five people living in
the colonies remained loyal to the king.
That's roughly 500,000 people in a land
of two and a half million.
Spirits ran high, on July 28, 1774
when Joseph Stebbins put up a Liberty
Pole on the village street in Deerfield.
During the night a group of Tories
sawed the Pole down. But when the vil-
lage arose the next morning another Li-
berty Pole was in its place; this time
with a flag attached.
On September 22, 1774 Northamp-
ton and Springfield had a joint town
meeting and decided: "we by no means
intend to withdraw our allegiance from
him (King) so long as he will protect us
in the free and full exercise and enjoy-
ment of our character rights and liber-
ties."
By November 1774, Northampton
had changed this decision and had a
standing army of over 100 men, with
Jonathan Allen as the captain of their
Minutemen group.
The Whigs of Deerfield had heavy
odds against the Tories. The Minister,
the judge, the sheriff, the esquire, the
three doctors, the town clerk and trea-
surer, one storekeeper, and two of the
three tavernkeepers had held commis-
sions from the King and were generally
the young bloods who were looking for-
ward to places of honor or office from
royality and were loyal to the source of
power.
One Tory in Deerfield wrote, "O
Tempore, All Nature seems to be in
Confusion: every person in fear of what
his neighbor will do to him. Such times
were never seen in New England."
At present, my mind is too agitated to attend to any subject
but one, and this is the one that you will want to know about.
On the 18th, at 1 1 at night, about 800 light infantrymen were
ferried across the bay to Cambridge. From there, they marched to Con-
cord, about 20 miles. The Rebels had been assembled at that place, and
it was imagined that the General had information about a magazine being
formed there. The infantry was going to destroy it.
The people in the country are all furnished with arms and have what
they call minute companies in every town ready to march on any alarm.
They had a signal — a light from one of the steeples in town that flashed
when the troops here embarked. The alarm spread through the country,
so that before daybreak the people were in arms and marching to Con-
cord. About daybreak, a number of these people appeared before the
troops near Lexington. They were called upon to disperse. Instead, they
fired on the troops and ran off. At that point, the light infantry pursued
them and brought down about fifteen. Then the troops went on to Con-
cord and executed their business..
On their return, they found two or three of their people lying in the
agonies of death, scalped — their noses and ears cut off and eyes bored
out — it exasperated the soldiers exceedingly. A monumental number of
people were now occupying the hills, woods, and stone walls along the
road. The light troops drove some of them from the hills, but stone walls
along the road served as a cover to them. The light troops fired on the
rebels who ran off whenever they fired. These people were supplied by
fresh numbers who came from many parts of the countryside.
In this manner, the troops were harrassed in their return for seven of
the eight miles. They were almost exhausted and had used almost all of
their ammunition, when to their great joy, they were relieved by a brigade
of troops under the command of Lord Percy, with two pieces of artillery.
The troops now fought with renewed zeal and marched in their return
with courageous faces. They received sheets of fire all the way for miles.
But they had no visible enemy to combat with. The Rebels would never
face 'em in an open field, but always skulked and fired from behind walls,
and trees, and out of windows of houses.
Lord Percy has gained great honor by his conduct through this day of
severe service. He was exposed to the hottest of fire and inspired the
troops with his coolness and spirit.
Several officers and about 100 soldiers are wounded. The killed amount
to around 50. We can have no exact account of the enemy, but it is said
that around 1000 of 'em have fallen.
The troops returned to Charlestown at sunset. Some of 'em had
marched nearly fifty miles, involved since daybreak in action, without
rest, or refreshment. About ten in the evening, they were brought back to
Boston. The next day, thousands came from the country. At this time,
Boston Neck at Roxbury from Cambridge to Charlestown is surrounded
by at least 20,000. They are raising batteries on three or four different
hills. We are now cut off from all communication with the country, and
many people must soon perish with famine in this place.
For the past several nights, I thought that I would be roused by the
firing of cannons. Tomorrow is Sunday, and we may hope for one of rest.
At present, a solemn and silence reigns in the streets. Many people have
packed up their belongings and left the town, but the General has put a
stop to any more leaving. So there are about 9000 souls left in town
(besides the servants of the crown). These are the greatest security for the
General declared that if a gun is fired within the town, the inhabitants
shall sacrifice. In our distress and apprehension, I am happy
our British hero was saved. My Lord Percy had a many
great and miraculous escapes in the late action.

Major John Pitcairn was one of
the most able and popular British
officers. His account is a report to
his commanding officer, General
Gage.
Rev. Jonathan Ashley was settled in
Deerfield for life and nothing short of
an ecclesiastical revolution could upset
him. He had prayed publicly for the
King for 40 years and continuing true
to him and his ministers took no pains
to conceal his loyality. He was a strong-
minded man and his influence was all
against the Whigs and their 'wicked re-
bellion'. The Whigs were desirous to
get rid of him by any means in their
power. The town, hoping to freeze him
out, in 1774, refused to vote him any
salary or firewood, but the Tories over-
rode the attempt. Later the Whigs tried
to dismiss him, but could not. They did
succeed, however, in not furnishing him
any firewood, but he still remained.
It is said that, "When Parson Ashley
of Deerfield finished reading a procla-
mation from the pulpit ending with the
customary 'God save the Common-
wealth of Massachusetts', he rose to his
full height and with serious tones ad-
ded, 'and the King, too, I say, or we are
an undone people.' "
Sir, As you are anxious to know the particulars that
happened near and at Lexington on the 19th Inst — agreeable
to your desire, I will in as concise a manner as possible state the
Facts, for my time at present is so much employed, as to prevent a ^
more particular narrative of the occurrences of that day. ~
Six companies of Light Infantry were detached by Lt. Col. Smith to
take possession of Two Bridges on the other side of Concord — Near
Three in the Morning, when we were advanced within about Two miles
of Lexington, Intelligence was received, that about 500 Men in arms were
assembled, determined to oppose the Kings Troops, and retard them in
their March — On this intelligence, I mounted my Horse, and Galloped up
to the Six Light Companies — when I arrived at the Head of the ad-
vanced Company, Two Officers came and informed me, that a Man of
the Rebels advanced from those that were assembled, had presented a
Musquet and attempted to Shoot them, but toe Piece flashed in the Pan
— On this I gave directions to the Troops to move forward, but on no
account to Fire, or even attempt it without orders; when I arrived at the
end of the Villiage, I observed drawn up upon a Green near 200 of the
Rebels; when I came within about One Hundred Yards of them, they
began to File off towards some stone walls on our Right Flank — The
Light Infantry observing this, ran after them — I instantly called to the
Soldiers not to Fire, but to surround and disarm them, and after several
repetitions of those positive Orders to the men, not to Fire&C — some of
the Rebels who had jumped over the Wall, Fired Four or Five Shott at
the Soldiers, which wounded a man of the Tenth, and my Horse was
Wounded in two places, from some qliarter or other, and at the same time
several Shott were fired from a Meeting house on our Left — upon this,
without any order or Regularity, the Light Infantry began a scattered
Fire, and continued in that situation for some little time, contrary to
repeated orders both of me and the officers that were present — It
will be needless to mention what happend after, as I suppose Col.
Smith hath given a particular account of it.
Boston camp
26th April
»l 1775.
I am sir
Your most obedt
humble Servant,
John Pitcairn.
Here is what is undoubtedly the most accurate of all thescenesof the battle of Lexington. It was made by Amos Doolittlein 1775.
The celebration of the Bicen-
tennial will mean different
things to different people and
will be celebrated in a variety
of ways.
Massachusetts started off
the National Bicentennial Ce-
lebrations in Concord and Lex-
ington on the 19th and 20th of
April.
Millions of people from all
over the country and the world
crammed together, in these
towns and the surrounding
ones, to catch either a glimpse
of Minutemen and Redcoats,
or the performers at the Peo-
ple's Bicentennial Party.
Here is one student's ac-
count as she spent a couple of
sleepless nights and braved the
rain and cold weather for this
historic event.
Friday morning, April 18,
we got up early and headed for
Concord for the big Bicenten-
nial weekend. The official start
of our nation's celebration of
having survived for 200 years.
Massive crowds were ex-
pected for the event, and as we
toured Concord on Friday,
hordes of people were arriving,
streets were being closed off,
and the town was disrupted.
That quality of apprehension
and excitement present before
any big event was there. A
kind of electricity and uneasi-
ness pervaded the atmosphere,
as policemen, guards, photo-
graphers and press corps sur-
veyed the area, sized up the
passersby and looked suspi-
ciously at anyone carrying a
knapsack, sleeping bag, or
even too many cameras. Trou-
ble was expected, and perhaps
even hoped for. Members of
the People's Bicentennial
Commission (PBC) were com-
ing to harass the President. I
felt it was viewed that way by
those in charge of keeping
order. Townspeople must have
felt that such a group would
shed an unfavorable light on
their town, and look bad to the
President and his men. Resi-
dents of Concord are proud of
their heritage, and rightly so.
Fear of anything going wrong
was not a pleasant thought.
An all-night concert was
planned to start at midnight.
The stage was set up and the
people came. Thousands,
equipped with tents, blankets,
cameras, notebooks, pot,
brandy and anything else to
As the breach widened between England and
America, colonial town meetings often turned
into bitter disputes among loyal supporters of the
king and patriots who demanded rebellion.
The Tories in Amherst had a
loud voice and determined much
of the town's poHtical feelings for
awhile. Amherst got rid of the
men in high positions who op-
possed the war and finally in Jan-
uary of 1776, the townspeople had
a majority voice to support the
Continental Congress.
General Burgoyne and one-half of
the British army marched through Am-
herst on their way to Boston, knowing
that the sentiments of the town officials
were with the British.
When Colrain heard of the Lexing-
ton and Concord battle, they sent their
Minutemen right away. Boston officials
urged most of the men to return home
because they were not prepared for
warfare at all.
After Northampton heard the news
of the Concord and Lexington battles,
the minutemen left immediately for the
front and reached Concord on the 26th.
On word of the British march on
Concord, the Charlemont Minutemen
marched to Cambridge. Some returned
home shortly afterwards and some re-
mained to fight at the Battle of Bunker
Hill.
I, John Parker, of lawful age, and commander of the
militia in Lexington, do testify and declare, that on the nine-
teenth instant, in the morning, about one of the clock, being
informed that there were a number of Regular Officers riding up &
down the road, taking and insulting people, and also was informed that
the Regular Troops were on their march from Boston, in order to take
the Province Store at Concord, immediately ordered our Militia to meet
on the common in said Lexington, to consult what to do, and concluded
not to be discovered, nor meddle or make with said Regular Troops (if
they should approach) unless they should insult or molest us; and upon
their sudden approach, I immediately ordered our militia to disperse and
not to fire; immediately said Troops made their appearance, and rushed
furiously & fired upon and killed eight of our party without receiving any
provocation therefor from us.
John Parker
I, Thomas Fessenden, of lawful age, testify and declare, that being in
a pasture near the meeting-house at said Lexington, on Wednesday, last,
at about half an hour before sunrise, ... I saw three officers on horseback
advance to the front of said Regulars, when one of them being within six
rods of the said Militia cried out, "Disperse, you rebels, immediately;"
on which he brandished his sword over his head three times; meanwhile
the second officer, who was about two rods behind him, fired a pistol
pointed at said Militia, and the Regulars kept huzzaing till he had finished
brandishing his sword, and when he had thus finished brandishing his
sword, he pointed it down towards said Militia, and immediately on which
the said Regulars fired a volley at the Militia and then I ran off, as fast
as I could, while they continued firing till I got out of their reach. I further
testify, that as soon as ever the officer cried "Disperse, you rebels," the
said Company of Militia dispersed every way as fast as they could and
while they were dispersing the Regulars kept firing at them incessantly,
and further saith not.
Thomas Fessenden
However to the best on my recollection about 4oClock in the Morning
being the 19th of April the 5 front Compys was ordered to Load which
we did, about half an hour after we found that precaution had been
necessary, for we had then to unload (fire) again and then was the first
Blood drawn in this American Rebellion. It was at Lexington when we
saw one of their Compys drawn up in regular order Major Pitcairn of the
Marines second in Command called to them to disperse, but their not
seeming willing he desired us to mind our space which we did when they
gave us a fire then run of(f) to get behind a wall. We had one man
wounded of our Compy in the Leg his Name was Johnson also Major
Pitcairns Horse was shot in the flank we return'd their Salute (fire)
and before we proceeded on our March from Lexington I believe
we Kill'd and wounded either 7 or 8 men.

Lister, of the 10th
Regiment, the youngest _
British Officer present i^^
Asa Graves, a Sunderland native,
was George Washington's bodyguard.
A story in Deerfield runs that a mob
of Whigs had gathered about John Wil-
liams' (Tory) house. The Whigs found
it garrisioned by well-armed friends;
that as they were advancing to break in
the door, a window over it was opened
and Seth Catlin appeared, musket in
hand, threatening to blow a lane
through them if they advanced another
step. The crowd knew him too well to
doubt his word and a parley was called.
A committee of the mob was admitted
and for one hour the questions at issue
were discussed. Meanwhile, the com-
mittee was well plied with hot, strong
spirits. The Committee declared them-
selves well satisfied, went out and re-
ported to their constituents that Mr.
Williams was a good patriot and had
given good Christian satisfaction. This
report settled the affair and the mob
went home.
On April 20, 1775 a Deerfield town
meeting voted to pay a small army in
preparation for the Revolution.
keep warm and dry on the
soggy ground. All night we lis-
tened to singers and speakers,
against war, against the go-
vernment, against the Presi-
dent. Phil Ochs sang "... I
ain't marching anymore ..."
and the crowd screamed and
cheered. They questioned the
war, the government, and who
killed President Kennedy?

The rain came, the liquor bot-
tles came out. Freezing in four
feet of mud, comrades huddled
together under unbrellas. TV
cameras whirred, reporters
took notes. An endless night
set in along with fatigue, and
everyone waited for dawn or
Arlo Guthrie.
The area surrounding the
North Bridge was checked con-
tinuously. People swarmed
everywhere, even the trees were
crowded. The whole atmos-
phere was unreal, the rally of
the PBC seemed inappropriate,
belonging to another place and
another time. Everyone re-
membered Woodstock, and
some tried to relive some of the
old feeling. But it was gone,
and this was not the place to
get it back.
At about 3:30 AM we began
to make our way back over the
North Bridge toward Concord.
We wanted to be in Lexington
to observe the reenactment of
the battle on the green at 5
AM.
We had been told that there
would be bus service provided
between the towns of Lexing-
ton and Concord. In order to
pick up the bus, we figured we
had better be to the waiting
spot early. All the policemen
we asked about the bus service
had no idea what we were talk-
ing about, so we decided to
walk and have the bus catch up
to us.
As we walked closer to town
we noticed many of the town's
people walking with picnic bas-
kets, folding chairs, children,
blankets and other things in
order to find a good spot to see
the parade, which was to start
about six hours later. The
prime spots near the Bridge
were already filled by 4 a.m.
In the center of Concord, we
asked more policemen about
John Adams had been sent to Phila-
delphia to attend the second continental
congress. He was lonely and in a lot of
ways out of touch with his native land.
Letters were the only means of staying
in touch not only with people but also
with events.
In the privacy of his letters to his
wife, he gives us a look at what our
founding fathers were really concerned
with much of the time. No one had all
the answers and much was in doubt.
John knew better than most the "great-
ness" of his task.
John Adams; June 10, 1775
Another story, concerning Parson
Ashley in Deerfield, is that in a sermon
soon after the battle of Bunker Hill, he
declared that the souls of the rebels who
fell there went straight to Hell. When
he went back for the afternoon service,
he found the pulpit door nailed up. He
called upon his Deacon, Jonathan
Arms, the blacksmith, to get some in-
strument and open the door. The dea-
con replied that he did not use his tools
on the Sabbath.
My dear, with smarting eyes, I must write a few lines to
^^you. I never had in my life such severe duty to do, and I was"^^
Fnever worse qualified to do it. My eyes depress my spirits, and' ^
"^my health is quite infirm. Yet I keep about, and attend congress^
_rvery constantly. I wish I could write freely to you, my dear, but I'
rcannot. The scene before me is complicated enough. It requires better!
eyes, and better nerves than mine; yet I will not despond. I will lay all'
difficulties prostrate at my feet. My health and life ought to be risked in
the cause of my country, as well as yours, and ail my friends.
It is impossible to convey to you any adequate idea of the discomforts
I am under. I wish that you and our friends may not be in greater distress
than I am. Yet I fear you are. Pray let me know as often as possible. I
don't know the state of Boston people as exactly as I could wish.
Two days ago we saw a very wonderful phenomenon in this city: A field
day. Three battalions of soldiers were reviewed, all in uniforms, going
through the manual exercise, and the maneuvers, with remarkable dexter-
:ity. All this has been accomplished in this city since the 19th of April; so
: sudden a formation of an army never took place anywhere.
In congress we are bound to secrecy. But, my dear, I believe that ten
thousand men will be maintained in Massachusetts and five
thousand in New York.
I must close now. My love and duty where due.
Captain Dickinson gathered some
men to form a company of Minutemen
after the battle of Concord had been
fought and trained them till they were
ready to see battle. The Amherst Min-
utemen first fought at the Battle of
Bunker Hill.
The Charlemont town trail was used
as a highway for soldiers and supplies
from Boston to the Hudson Valley.
Charlemont also saw the troops march-
ing back to Boston with the wounded
and the prisoners from the Battle of
Saratoga.
In 1777 in Conway, every ablebodied
man is said to have marched out of the
town to meet and fight General Bur-
goyne.

the bus route, but they too
knew nothing of the buses.
When walking through the
center on our way to Lexing-
ton, we noticed that all availa-
ble dry space around stores,
museums, and the town hall
were taken by sleeping people.
At a general store in Concord
that had a large porch before
the door, people were lined up
one-after-the-other as if it were
a large bed.
We found out that we were
about 10 miles from the Lex-
ington Battle Green and had
no way to get there. All cars in
Concord could not be moved
until after the parade, unless
they were leaving the town for
good. Cars were allowed to
drive in the town itself, only if
they had residents sticker. If
we walked the 10 miles we
wouldn't make it on time to
the re-enactment, so we figured
we'd have to hitch and walk.
Four rides and 45 minutes later
we arrived at the green.
Lexington Green, about the
size of the land of the Campus
Center, was innundated with
people. People were about 10
deep around the Green; chairs,
ladders, cars, on others' backs,
and assorted other methods for
viewing the reenactment of the
battle. People were even on
rooftops of the houses around
the area.
The battle, which is pre-
sented every year, was as auth-
entic as possible from the
known records.
The battle lasted about 30
minutes, ending with the Bri-
tish re-grouping and marching
on to Concord.
Needless to say, we had the
long walk back to Concord,
but knowing that we had made
it to see the reenactment and
had a good view of it made the
walk back a lot easier to take.
Concord was really bustling
since the time we had left it.
People, while waiting for the
parade, were touring the his-
toric homes of Concord, the
Alcott's, Hawthorne's, Emer-
son's and Thoreau's in particu-
lar.
Walking to the bridge from
town at 6 a.m., it seemed out
of place for whole families to
be out with their babies and
dragging their two-year-olds
who should have been in bed,
to the site of the bridge. They
brought thermos bottles and

committee of safety had learned that
the British were about to fortify Dor-
chester Heights, which overlook Bos-
ton. The rebels sought to counteract
this by beating the British to it, and
fortifying Breed's Hill on the Charles-
town Peninsula.
Henry Hulton is the Commissioner
of Customs in Boston. His loyalities
and his superiors are in England. He is
a Bureaucrat, a white collar worker.
But he is a sincere man who loves his
country and his king. Massachusetts is
his home, but this is not his war.
Henry Hulton's letters provide us
with a unique opportunity to view the
first major battle of the war, from the
Tory's point of view. Commonly
known as the Battle of Bunker Hill, we
are all well aware of how the militia
supposedly held their fire until they
could see the whites of the redcoat's
eyes. Well, Henry's version of the
events is not as glorious a picture as our
Jiistory books would have us believe.
Henry Hulton; June 20, 1775
Northampton took no part in the
Battle of Bunker Hill, except for one
man. The Northampton Minutemen
had marched home when the news of
Bunker Hill reached the town. General
Seth Pomeroy, a gentleman farmer of
69 years old, borrowed a horse and
rode straight to the battle. He found the
commanding officier. General Putnam.
Putnam, who knew how committed Po-
meroy was to the Revolution, said,
"You're here, Pomeroy! God, I believe
a cannonball would wake you up if you
slept in your grave!"
Northampton sent some men to Can-
ada to join the troops up there. These
men wrote home of all the difficulties
with their expedition. There were no
doctors or nurses. One French woman
watched over them and tried to nurse
them when they were ill. The men fond-
ly referred to her as "Aunt Sarah".
The men brought no medical reme-
dies for any illness, so all they had was
a syrup and some homemade pills from
boiled butternut bark.
Food was also a problem. It became
so scarce that they were forced to kill
and eat rattlesnakes.
For these two months past our situation has been critical
and alarming. The town is blockaded, and the whole country
is in arms all around us. The people have not only cut us off from
all supplies, but they do their utmost to prevent any kind of provi-
sion form being brought to us from neighboring ports. As we were
surprised into these circumstances, it's a wonder that we have held out as
long as we have.
We are now very anxious for the arrival of the second division, and I
am afraid it will be necessary to add another to that, before the army can
operate effectively around this place. The country is very rugged by
anture, and the rebels have possessed themselves of all the advantageous
posts. They have thrown up intrenchments in many parts. From the
heights of this place, we have a view of the whole town, the harbor, and
the countryside. And last Saturday, I was a spectator of a most awful
scene.
On the morning of the 17th, it was observed that the rebels had thrown
up a breastwork, and were preparing to open fire upon the heights above
Charlestown. There they could obstruct the shipping, and destroy the
north part of Boston. Immediately, a cannonading began from the battery
in the north part of town and from the ships of war, on those works, and
on the enemy, wherever they could be discovered. Soon after eleven
o'clock, two battalions marched out of their encampments, and embarked
in boats. Before high water, they were landed to the eastward of Charles-
town. Great are our fears that they would be attacked by superior
numbers, before they could be all assembled and properly prepared, but
more boats arrived and they all advanced, some on the other side, round
the hill where the cannon was erected, and some through part of Charles-
town. On the side of the hill which was not visible from Boston, it seems
very strong lines were thrown up. and were occupied by thousands of
rebels. The troops advanced with great zeal towards the intrenchments,
but were met with both artillery and small arms fire. Many brave officers
and men were killed and wounded. As soon as they got to the entrench-
ments, the rebels fled. Many of them were killed in the trenches and in
their flight. The marines, in marching through part of Charlestown, were
fired at from the houses. Because of the firing from the houses, the town
was immediately set in flames. At four o'clock, we saw the fire and the
sword; all the horrors of war raging. The town was burning all the night;
the rebels sheltered themselves in the adjacent hills, and the neighborhood
of Cambridge. The army possessed themselves of Charlestown neck. We
were exulting in seeing the fiight of our enemies, but in an hour or two
we had occasion to mourn and lament. In the evening, the streets were
filled with the wounded and the dying; the sight of which along with the
crying of the women and children over their husbands and fathers, pierced
one to the soul. Through the night, we heard of some officer, or one of
our friends, who had fallen in our defense, and in supporting the honor
of our country.
The rebels have now occupied a hill about a mile from Charlestown
neck; they are very numerous, and have thrown up intrenchments. The
ships and troops cannonade them wherever they can reach them. In the
same manner, on the other side of Boston neck, on the high ground above
the Roxbury metting house, the rebels are intrenching. It grieves me, that
gentlemen, brave british sholdiers, should fall by the hands of such dispi-
cable wretches as compose the rebels of the country. They are a most
rude, depraved, degenerate race, and it is a mortification to us that they
speak english, and can trace themselves from that stock.
Since Adams went to Philadelphia, A Dr. Warren, who is a patriot and
apothecary of this town, has had the lead in the provincial congress. He
signed commissions, and acted as the president. This fellow happily was
killed, in coming out of the trenches the other day, where he had
commanded and spirited the people to defend the lines which he
assured them were impregnable. You may judge what the herd
must be when such a one is their leader. Pray the lord deliver
us. I remain your faithful and obedient servant.
The President was coming!
sandwiches and it seemed more
likely that they were headed
for an afternoon at an amuse-
ment park than to see the Pre-
sident of the United States.
All areas near the river were
jammed. Mounted police and
guards of every description
were out watching the area.
Choppers roared overhead.
People were tense and tired.
The public address system was
tested. Members of the press
swapped information. Photo-
graphers practiced their angles,
looking for the best position.
Press passes were checked in-
termittently. People were
asked to clear the area, stand
behind the ropes and clear the
bridge.
Across the river, members of
the PBC and those who were
just there because they wanted
to "send a message to Wa-
shington" shouted and waved
their signs while setting up
their plan of action for the Pre-
sident's arrival. The entire hill
was blue denim with yellow-
slicker polka-dots.
Hours passed. The time was
near. The choppers flew lower;
frogmen secured the bridge,
and boats finished dragging the
Concord River. Secret Service
men hurried around in their
most officious manner, holding
hushed conferences with one an-
other and passing suspicious
glances. They politely checked
our bags one by one and fo-
cused their discerning eyes on
any unfamiliar object.
The Presidental seal was at-
tached to the podium. The area
was cleaned; the carpet was
swept where the shoes of the
President would walk. Ever-
ything was timed, concise,
smooth and very, very profes-
sional.
Cannons were fired across
the river. A huge parade of
brightly clad Minutemen
marched across the rude
bridge. A flint lock went off
and Secret Service men quickly
pulled the responsible man out
of the parade, and when con-
vinced it was just powder, al-
lowed the man to return to his
group. The Concord Minute-
men marched in and stood be-
fore us, directly in front of the
President's platform. We
heard the Secret Service Man's
walkie-talkie announce, "He's
on his way." The noise level of
the crowd got higher and
The wife of John Adams gives
us an equally distorted view of the
same events, but one that we are

Lieutenant Solomon Allen, a North-
ampton man, was sent to General Ben-
edict Arnold with dispatches of the an-
nouncement of the capture of General
Andre.
Greenfield Minutemen did not really
get involved with the Revolution right
away. This town sent a large percentage
of its men to fight in the battle at Fort
Ticonderoga.
The day — perhaps the decisive day — is come, the one
the fate of America depends on. My bursting heart must find
vent at my pen. I have just heard, that our dear friend. Dr.
Warren, is no more, but he fell gloriously fighting for his country:
saying, better to die honorably in the field, than dishonorably hang
upon the gallows. Great is our loss. He has distinguished himself in every
engagement, by his courage and fortitude, by inspiring the soldiers, and
leading them on by his own example.
Charlestown is laid in ashes. The battle began upon our intrenchments
on Bunker's Hill, Saturday morning about three o'clock. It has not ceased
yet, and it is now three o'clock sabbath afternoon.
How many have fallen, we don't know. The constant roar of the cannon
is so distressing, that we can't eat, drink, or sleep. I shall stay here till it
is thought unsafe by my friends, then I have secured myself a retreat at
your brother's, who has kindly offered me part of his house.
When I say that ten thousand reports are given, vague and uncertain
as the wind, I believe I speak the truth. I'm unable to give you any
authentic account of last Saturday, but you won't lack information.
I wish I could contradict the report of the doctor's death; but it is a
lamentable truth. Those favorite lines of Collins sound in my ears: "How
sleep the brave."
My father has been more afflicted by the destruction of Charlestown
than by anything which has yet taken place. Why shouldn't his face be
sad, when the city, the place of his father's birth, lies in waste. Scarcely
one stone remains upon another; but in the midst of sorrow we have
abundant cause for thankfulness — that so few of our friends are among
the slain, while our enemies were cut down like the grass before the
scythe. Many poor wretches died for want of proper assistance and care
of their wounds.
Every account agrees that fourteen of fifteen hundred were slain and
wounded upon the other side, and I can't find out if they falsified the
number themselves. We had some heroes that day, who fought with
amazing courage.
When we consider all the circumstances, we're astonished that our
people weren't all cut off. They were only one hundred intrenched, and
the numbers fighting didn't exceed eight hundred. They hadn't even half
enough ammunition, and the reinforcement wasn't able to get to them in
time. The tide was up, and high, so that their floating batteries were on
each side of the causeway, and their row- galleys kept a constant fire.
Add to this — the fire from Cops Hill and from the ships; the town in
flames, all around them; and the heat from the flames so intense it
couldn't be beared; the day was one of the hottest we have had this season,
and the wind was blowing the smoke in their faces — only figure to
yourself all of these circumstances, and then consider that we haven't lost
sixty men. My heart overflows at the recollection.
We live in continual expectation of hostilities . . . with scarcely a day
that does not produce some. In a contest like this, constant reports are
circulated by our enemies. They catch with the unwary and the gaping
crowd, who are ready to listen to the marvelous, without considering
the consequences, even though their best friends are injured.
I haven't ventured to inquire one word of you about your return. I
don't know whether I ought to wish for it; it seems as if your
sitting together in congress was absolutely necessary,
while every day is big with events.

President Gerald Ford ar-
rived, amid cheers from the
crowd on our side of the river
and a great uproar from the
PBC on the other side. After
proper introduction, the Presi-
dent began his speech, "It is
the symbol of greatness of our
celebration . . . tyranny by any
other name is still tyranny . . .
inspire confidence of men . . .
America has always been a
land of chance ..." were some
of the sentiments expressed by
the President, fighting to be
heard over the continual chant-
ing and shouting from the esti-
mated crowd of 28,000 across
the river.
President Gerald Ford then
proceeded to walk across the
bridge and place a wreath at
the statue of the Minutemen,
and was promptly hurried
away by his protectors. It was
over.
The President had quickly
come and gone; the townspeo-
ple remained to finish their ce-
lebration with a gigantic par-
ade and other activities. We
were tired and happy it was
over.
The question of the PBC still
remains; what did they hope to
accomplish? Did they accom-
plish anything? Looking back,
it seems that the most they ac-
complished was to get some
press coverage, most of it unfa-
vorable. They really did not
"send a message to Washing-
ton" as they said they would;
no one was listening.

In the beginning, 3,655 freshmen men and women
entered UMass, in September of 1971, eager and ready
for the experience that the University might offer them.
Three years and eight months later, in May of 1975,
5,018 seniors are being graduated; different in many
ways than when they entered four years before. Most
have had some effect on the University itself, whether it
be from student leader to graffiti-writer.
The question does arise though, has there been a
change in themselves or even in the University?
While there is physical evidence of change in the Un-
iversity; professors and administrators, who have been
here for many years, claim little change has taken place.
Dean William Field, Dean of Students, said, "There
have been some minor changes, but nothing dramatic."-
'g^rj-^BT'
The physical transformation of the University in the past
four years is the most obvious of the changes. New buildings
sprang up all over campus during this time period, leaving
even less open space available. Buildings that had been
planned for almost a decade, became a reality.
Towering over all campus buildings, the University Library
has made a significant alteration to the campus skyline. Using
the free space between the Old Chapel and the Student Union,
the tallest library in the world was opened in June 1973. The
result is a much bigger library area than was ever possible with
Goodell. Old Goodell Library is gradually being modified to
house classrooms and offices.
Fine Arts Center is another building that has influenced the
campus design. Partially opened in September of 1974, this
building is adding an art gallery, concert and recital halls,
theatre and studio theatre to the University, and will house the
music, art and theatre departments.
Three towers and a low-rise building were added to the
UMass skyline when the Graduate Research Center was com-
pleted early in 1975. Although part of the complex has been
in use since October 1971, the Center will not be completely
open until the 1975-76 school year. The Graduate Research
Center, built for graduates and undergraduates, will house the
graduate school, a computer center. Physical Science Library,
and the departments of Computer Science, Statistics, Physics,
Math, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Polymer Science and Engin-
eering.
Tobin Hall enabled the Psychology Department staff to be
together for the first time when the building opened in 1972.
It not only provides office space and classrooms, but also a
Psychology Service Center, research space and housing for
animals in psychological experiments.
The Infirmary addition was opened in late 1974, adding
much needed space and new services to the UMass commun-
ity, such as eye and dental clinics, better laboratory and x-ray
space.
Even the campus pond has been altered in the past four
years. The Fine Arts Center slightly changed the shape of the
pond so the pond and the building would come together. The
little wooden bridge spanning one end of the pond was re-
moved in 1974 when the walkway was completed in the Fine
Arts Center.
In addition to these major changes in the physical design of
the University, there have been some minor ones. New green-
houses have been added, two houses in Fraternity-Sorority
Park have been opened, and Sylvan living area was finished
and became inhabited.
But physical alteration is only one aspect of change that has
occurred in four years; academic change has been affected,
also.
<BR$J
There have been several major developments in academics
which have affected UMass students during the past four
years.
A new grading system was adopted. Grades of " + " and "- "
(such as A-, B + ) were dropped in favor of grades being
recorded as AB or EC. This is good for the person who has
the lower average of the two grades (the B of an AB grade),
because it was beneficial to the cum, but it was not as good
for the recipient of the higher grade.
Not counting any failing grades on cums was another inno-
vation for students which began four years ago. The idea
behind this change was that a student would have to make up
the credits anyway, so there should be no punishment by
counting failing marks on a cum. This year, the administration
and some of the faculty felt that the reporting of a failing
grade should be reflected by the cum. To date, there has been
no decision on whether this will be changed back or not. Any
policy change will be in this school year or the year after.
Greater academic freedom was offered to students in 1971
when the Bachelor's Degree of Individual Concentration
(BDIC) was introduced to UMass. The program was designed
so that students could plan their own programs of study for a
degree not offered already at the University by combining
courses from various departments. What started off as an
experiment became reality when BDIC was accepted in 1973.
Today, there are over 400 enrolled in the BDIC program.
In 1974, the physical education requirement was dropped.
Mass. Legislation Digests Phys. Ed. Program.
t
The University has found that interest in many physical edu-
cation classes remains high, even though taking the course is
now totally voluntary.
Many students in this years' graduating class are part of a
now defunct program called "Swing Shift". Students would
complete their first semester over the summer, join their class
second semester and remain together till graduation. The pro-
gram was dropped in 1 972, due to the lack of funds.
New courses and majors have been added or taken away
during the past four years, amplifying the number of changes
in academics.
A dispute raged for awhile on whether to allow credit for
ROTC courses on the UMass campus as well as other cam-
puses across the country. Credit was taken away from the
courses for a little while, because of the up-roar, but has since
been reinstated.
The Education Marathon, a five day symposia at the School
of Education which credit is given for attending the Marathon,
was cancelled in 1972, following a Third World demonstration
protesting racism in the school. Dean Allen kept announcing
that the Marathon would still be held, but after a vote with
the other members of the School of Ed., it was decided to
cancel it. A policy change was advocated and adopted concern-
ing the hiring procedures and enrollment of minorities and
women.
Social changes have also played a part in the alteration of
UMass.
^.^
The label on UMass as a "party" school has been sticking.
But only recently, UMass has been gaining a better academic
reputation, through word-of-mouth from its students. Yet, the
University has always had an excellent academic program.
The news of its prime social activity spread faster and further
and made more of an impression than its academic superiority.
Most of the social changes in the University reflect widespread
social changes rather than changes in UMass alone.
March 1, 1973 made a big difference in the University. The
lowering of the drinking age from 21 to 18, brought many
students out at midnight of the last day of February to enjoy
their new freedom. From that time, the University had to find
additional space for the new hordes of drinkers.
The Blue Wall, once divided in half with a fence (for the
above and below 21-ers) became an integrated bar to accom-
modate the new group. Anyone younger than drinking age is
not allowed in at all.
The Top of the Campus did not change, because they were
already as large a bar as they could get.
The big change came in the Hatch, when in 1973, it was
renovated so that it could become a bar in the evenings. In the
past, the Hatch was used only as a restaurant, but it evolved
into a restaurant by day and a bar with entertainment in the
evenings. During the school year of 1974-75, the Hatch be-
came the spot for the Celebrity series, where bigger name
groups, than was usually offered at this school, came to per-
form. Now that college students had the legal right to drink,
almost all college parties were at least partially legal with the
use of alcohol. The legalization of the other things will take
awhile to pass.
Streaking was a short, but sweet phenomenon in the history
of UMass. First, a few brave males streaked short distances
and females soon discovered the sport. The distances were
increased time after time. Residential areas had their own
local streakers and it would not be unusual for several groups
of male and female streakers to entertain fellow area members
for an evening.
Naked bodies soon became so commonplace that many
streakers adopted gimmicks to be noticed. Streakers rode bi-
cycles and unicycles, streakers held hands on the run and
carrying lit torches became a way of streaking.
The most important night for the UMass streakers came
when the University tried to break other colleges' records for
the largest number of streakers. For days before the mass-
streak rumors went around campus on when and where to
meet, and there was even a notice in the Collegian giving all
the details to interested students.
The night came when about six hundred streakers stormed
out of Kennedy Tower, running around Southwest. As long as
the streakers kept moving, there were no worries of being
arrested.
Six hundred naked bodies with red lipstick numbers on the
moons that were shot all night, ran around campus with noth-
ing else on. Some did have hats, though, some with scarves,
one with the American flag over his shoulders, ran into cam-
pus and into Central area to pick up more streakers.
The streaking party swelled as they ran into all the living
areas, Orchard Hill to NorthEast to Sylvan.
As the number of streakers swelled, so did the number of
watchers. By the time the streakers ran into the Campus
Center the streakers and watchers were shouting, "We're
number one. We're number one.", and clapping to show total
approval of the escapade.
After streaking through the Campus Center, the group
broke up. Some got dressed immediately, some jogged back
to Southwest and others hustled back to their dorms for some
warmth.
That was the last time for a mass-streak for UMass; some
streakers still paraded around certain areas of campus, but
never again with the intense number and feelings as before.
Coed dorms, although they first began before 1971, became
more numerous and more coed. Starting out with one dorm as
an experiment in 1970, the numbers grew every year adding a
few more to the list of available coed dorms until 1975 when
the number of these dorms total over thirty.
The liberation of the dorms was quite gradual. Men and
women were first placed in dorms with an alternate floor plan.
Then, one part of the corridor was for males and the other for
females. Finally, coed room-to-room was allowed and some-
times even coed roommates.
Bathrooms underwent a similar change also, until men and
women were shaving together side-by-side.
pnrManixri
--W'ijr— -
Other changes on campus are numerous. Prices on fees,
tuition, etc. have all gone up. Considering the rate of inflation
and the increase of prices at other state and private schools,
this school has done the best that it could do in keeping prices
as low as they could.
The UMass administration started a new policy in 1972 by
accepting more females than before to try for a 50-50 ratio.
With the class entering in the fall of 1974, they were very close
to their goal, with only 30 more males entering the University
than females. More than 500 males entered UMass than fe-
male students with the graduating class of 1 975.
The Student Transit Service has made a large impact on the
University. Starting with a couple of buses and a small budget
as an experiment with the federal government, the Transit
Service has grown considerably. In 1971 UMass had three bus
routes, 26 drivers, five buses and serviced under 3,000 people.
The buses ran only during the day, no weekend, night or
vacation service was available. Every year brought more and
more changes until this year when there are 22 buses, 145
parttime employees, weekend, night, late-night, and vacation
service. They transport over 16,000 per day. More buses are
also available for field trips. Plans are now being made to
increase the service for next year with a bigger budget, more
buses, and larger passenger load per day.
The UMass parking situation has become gradually worse;
more students have cars than ever before, which means that
there must be a place for them, for the workers, the faculty,
the administration and for the commuting students. More lots
have been added and a new system of classifying them. The
old system used letters and was approximately one price for a
parking sticker for any lot. Now the lots are numbered and
the fee varies depending on how close it is located to the main
part of campus.

After the class of 1975 had been in school for one month,
the administration went through a change. Chancellor Oswald
Tippo resigned over a dispute in the budget and the role of
UMass-Amherst with President Robert Wood. Tippo was per-
mitted a one semester sabbatical leave and then returned as a
Botany professor. Randolph Bromery was named as Acting
Chancellor. In April of 1972 he was officially named Chancel-
lor of the University of Massachusetts.
The School of Education and the campus experienced a
crisis during the 1974-75 school year, when it was discovered
that money was being misused. It is alleged that money was
being paid to two students that did not exist, and there are
other instances of misuse. Although maintaining that he was
innocent. Dean Dwight Allen left the School of Education and
the University for Africa. Several other members of that
School aiso left the University.
Outside influences of the area has, to some degree, changed
UMass and its students. Route 9 has added many new restaur-
ants and stores, giving students more of a choice on where they
want to shop and eat, and also providing more jobs for the
students. The opening of the Mountain Farms Mall gave even
more of a choice for students; two medium size stores plus a
large number of smaller shops came to South Hadley. Some
areas of Route 9 have provided bus service to lure students to
shop with them. Stores in Amherst center have changed also;
the Carriage Shop stores provide a mall-like area in the heart
of downtown Amherst.
Apartment complexes have sprung up all over the surround-
ing areas. Sunderland, Belchertown, South Amherst, North-
ampton have seen an expanding of their town's population
with the opening of Brittany Manor, King Philip, Mt. Sugar-
loaf, Townhouse, Rolling Green, Echo Hill and many others.
"Today's students are more individualistic than the
students of four years ago. They are aware of more
things, including that problems in today's world cannot
be solved with violence. Students are more employment-
conscience. They are not apathetic, but more open, will-
ing and interested in spending more time talking with
faculty and administration members than the group of
four years ago." — Dean William Field

"Students in the past few years have undergone a
change in attitudes. They are slowly moving back
towards the establishment. They are much more career-
oriented, because of the change in their thinking and
attitude, the poor economic condition of today's world
and the job market, and an interest for a qualitative
education." — Associate Dean John Conlon
While both the University and the Class of 1975 have
changed during the past four years, their impact remains
for history to judge.

BDIC
There is a way to "beat" the regu-
lated routine of a traditional college
education at UMass, graduating
young persons with such unusual
qualifications as Ethhomusicologist,
Astrologer, Fashion Designer, Film-
Maker, Bowling Manager, Horseback-
riding Instructor and Dance Thera-
pist.
And this is only a small sampling of
the exciting things students have done
at UMass in the pioneer degree pro-
gram called "Bachelor's Degree with
Individual Concentration" (BDIC) .
The BDIC program came about as a
result of both student and faculty de-
mand at a SWAP (Student Workshop
for Academic Planning) meeting in
1970. The program began with a suc-
cessful two-year trial period during
the Fall semester of 1971, with an en-
rollment of little more than 100. In
1975, there are nearly 400 BDIC ma-
jors.
Essentially, BDIC is an alternative
to the standard degree-earning ap-
proach. It allows the student to create
an individualized area of concentra-
tion by combining courses drawn
from the various Departments,
Schools and Colleges in the University
as well as those from other institutions
of higher learning. Internships also are
encouraged.
To Qualify, students must demon-
strate the fact that a more traditional
education would not be adequate pre-
paration for their chosen field of
study. BDIC is a tailormade curricu-
lum where majors pursue for two
years under the aegis of faculty spon-
sors they select to guide the student
through a concentration in some spe-
cialty area. Besides BDIC require-
ments, all University graduation re-
quirements must be fulfilled.
By structuring the program in this
way, the University recognizes that
not all students can or should conform
to the traditional patterns of higher
education. Students testify that they
have become more self-motivated by
having the opportunity to pursue an
individual program that is of clearly-
defined relevance to personal, acade-
mic or professional goals.
Dr. Stanley Moss, the present direc-
tor of BDIC, illustrates another bene-
fit of the program as, "A student will-
ing to take a risk in pursuing a non-
traditional academic program like
BDIC in the long run has a better
chance of finding employment."
He adds that, "In their exposure to
various courses, students are training
themselves for specific jobs, especially
when they take parts of, or perhaps all
of, a semester in an internship. They
stand a good chance of proving their
worth. As a result, many of our stu-
dents have gone off to good jobs."
Here are some BDIC success stories.
An enterprising BDIC major who
specialized in "Anthropological Film-
Making" has already sold one of his
original films as a commercial docu-
mentary. Another student served an
internship in Israel studying maine
. science, while still another devised an
ingenious computer program that faci-
litates registration for college courses.
A BDIC graduate who had concen-
trated on "Philosophical Anthropo-
logy" put together a photographic ex-
hibit (now a part of the UMass Ar-
chives) of North American Indians
that drew the attention of the Smith-
sonian Institution.
Jim Metzner, a BDIC student from
Amherst whose area of concentration
was ethnomusiciology, has developed
a multimedia magazine called "Sound
Image." In it, he includes a photo-
graph record and a folio of photos ta-
ken by some of the best photo-
graphers in the world that is se-
quenced to accompany the recording.
One BDIC graduate secured a job as
a microbiologist in the Caribbean, an-
other recorded and produced his first
album, and another joined the faculty
of a leading university.
To provide a forum for some of the
talents of BDIC students, the BDIC
program introduced a festival of per-
forming arts plus cultural studies,
which has become an annual event.
Highlights of this year's program,
called "Mosaic 11" and held during the
week of April 28 to May 3, were ori-
ginal films, a woman's day (featuring
film and discussion), improvisational
dance, jazz concerts, a classical guitar
concert, and "An Evening of Astrolo-
gical Festivities," which included
films, dance and music related to as-
trology.
As one student put it, "It's a lot of
work. You have to be completely self-
motivated, but BDIC is the way to
beat canned education."

The Outreach program is devoted to
getting students involved in off-
campus projects from part-time vo-
lunteer work in Western Massachu-
setts institutions to semester-long 15
credit internships in everything from
politics in Washington D.C. to theatre
in New York's Lincoln Center. The
goal of these efforts is "to provide the
students with the opportunity to inte-
grate theory with practice in a high
quality educational experience."
Outreach was begun in the summer
of 1972 by Bill Burke of the Univer-
sity Year for Action staff, who saw
the value of the internship-type exper-
ience offered by UYA. But he also saw
the need for a more f lexibile, semester-
long, as opposed to year-long, pro-
gram.
Based on this need. Bill and five stu-
dents created a survey to test student
interest in such a program. After a fa-
vorable response, a proposal was sub-
mitted to Bob Woodbury, associate
provost, and Outreach was given a
room in Arnold House, a small
amount of money, and the work be-
gan.
At first, this work was limited to
placing students in part-time, volun-
teer positions. It soon blossomed into
helping students locate 40 hours per
week internships for which they re-
ceived up to 15 credits and occasional-
ly, limited reimbursment.
The program grew by leaps and
bounds; from 11 students the first se-
mester, to 44 the next; then from 88 to
the present level of 150 to 175 stu-
dents placed in internship positions
each semester.
The success of the program has
been due to the devotion and hard
work of the Outreach staff which is
comprised primarily of grad students
and originally, three full-time
workers. In the summer of 1973, this
staff was joined by Rich Sokol who
had been running the VITA (Volun-
teer Income Tax Assistance) program,
and is now acting director of Ou-
treach.
Students participating in intern-
ships receive credit through their own
or other departments in the university
and through the University Practicum
200 which grants up to 9 credits per
semester for just such practical exper-
ience gained in internship.
Next semester, 120 students will be
placed in internships in Massachusetts
alone; about 37 in Washington, D.C,
in economics, politics, and history;
and 35 in New York City in such
fields as art, mass communications
and theatre.: In both New York and
D.C, Outreach maintains a house to
provide students with inexpensive
rooming and seminars where personal
problems with internships are ironed
out.
Other students have been sent to
such "far-out" places as Alaska and
California to work on game reserves,
research teams, and in psychology
clinics.
Outreach attempts to deal mainly
with non-profit, professional, techni-
cal, and social organizations. Occa-
sionally, however, as in the field of
mass communications, this is not pos-
sible and students are placed with
such companies as WBZ radio and
TV, and area newspapers.
Some agencies in Massachusetts at
which interns are regularly placed in-
clude the Perkins School for the Blind,
offices of Senator Edward Brooke and
Senator Edward Kennedy, Massachu-
setts Defender's Committee and the
Hampshire County Day House.
The Outreach internship program
has proved to be a truly valuable part
of the alternative education opportun-
ities at the University of Massachu-
setts and its continuation has been re-
commended after review by the Presi-
dent's Committee on the Future Uni-
'SS^S^l^i':
versity of Massachusetts and Jack Sa-
loma of the President's office.
For most students who have partici-
pated in an internship experience, it
has proved to be the most valuable
experience of their college years and
one of the most rewarding of their
lives. Regarding the effect of a stu-
dent's participation in an internship
on grad school admission, a recent
study shows that such an experience
would certainly not hurt any chances
for admission. Of the schools ques-
tioned, 94% said that a student with
average GPA, GRE, and LSAT scores
and who should be otherwise accepta-
ble, would not be hurt by an intern-
ship on his or her record, and 45%
indicated that the experience would
enhance chances for acceptance. The
ultimate goal of Outreach, according
to director Rich Sokol, is to institu-
tionalize the internship program into
the various departments at the Uni-
versity and eventually into the Five-
college system. In this way, intern-
ships would be an option routinely of-
fered by each department. The depart-
ments of Political Science, Zoology,
and Art are rapidly approaching this
and most others are "very receptive"
to the idea, he says.
Internship assistance is only one
service offered by Outreach. Another
is SVS or Student Volunteer Services,
which places 300 to 400 students per
semester with social service agencies
in the area. Credit is available for this
work and for the collectives, colloquia,
and courses offered by this student-
run and student-initiated program.
The goal of SVS is to effect social ac-
tion and radical social change in such
areas as racism, in education, the penal
system, alcoholism, feminism, and ho-
mosexuality, thus ensuring that the
University maintains an active role in
the solutions to problems facing our
society. It also affords students an op-
portunity to obtain the kind of real-
world experience necessary to make a
four-year college education more than
simply the acquisition of knowledge
in a specific field.
The SBA, (Small Business Assis-
tance) program gives undergraduate
and grad students of business; mar-
keting, bookkeeping, advertising, etc.
an opportunity to help struggling bu-
sinesses in Western Massachusetts get
back on their feet.
Run in conjunction with the Hamp-
shire Community Action Commission,
the Cross Cultural Community Action
Project is a service of Outreach which
is dedicated to untangling the problem
of lead-paint poisoning in children.
Spanish and American students
screen-test children from one to six
years of age to determine whether they
suffer from lead-paint poisoning. If
they do, steps are taken to help the
family of the child remove the source
of the problem by painting homes
with lead-free paint. The program is
run by Alfred Carlson of the UMass
School of Education in cooperation
with Pat Keenan of the HCAC and
attempts to get foreign and American
students together in a common cause.
It is through the sincere efforts of
the people at Outreach in all of its
functions, that the University of Mas-
sachusetts approaches the ideal of the
institution of higher learning; the in-
tergration of classroom education and
experience gained from struggling
with the problems facing our society
and its institutions in non-traditional
out-of-the-classroom situations, to
provide students with the confidence
and wisdom which must accompany a
college education in order to cope with
and better our society and our envir-
onment.
Umvevsily ^ear for Action
The University Year for Action
(UYA) program provides the oppor-
tunity for dedicated college students to
apply their academic knowledge by
working in public and community
agencies that deal with low-income
and institutionalized residents. The
UYA program is a unique ACTION
program because it grants academic
credit as well as a stipend for a full
year's internship phase in any one of
many project opportunities.
The UYA program at the University
of Massachusetts/ Amherst, since it
began in 1971, has become the largest
of the sixty-five programs in this
country. It now offers a wide variety
of interning opportunities such as bi-
lingual teaching, rehabilitation coun-
seling, legal assistance, health com-
munity education and recreation, to
name a few. Many interns also per-
form outside services to the commun-
ity by training staff members and es-
tablishing recreational programs
within the organizational community.
University Year for ACTION offers
project opportunities in eight areas;
Administration of Justice, Consumer
Protection, Economic Development,
Education, Environmental Protection,
Health, Housing and Social Services.
The project opportunities are only
presented after selecting the organiza-
tions according to their designs and
goals for the UYA volunteer. The
most important criterion for the selec-
tion of a sponsoring organization is its
commitment to the poverty commun-
ity. Other crucial factors in selection
are that the organization allow the
participation of a University faculty
member in the planning program, sa-
tisfactory supervision of the volun-
teer, provision of an adequate training
program and that participation in the
project of the low-income or institu-
tionalized members of the community
be part of the plan. UYA prefers si-
tuations where there is active involve-
ment and cooperation between the
community, the faculty, the volunteer
and the organization. This often times
insures support and supervision for
the volunteer as well as the project's
success. The whole community shares
the project so it becomes necessary to
involve all the people involved in the
project.
Once the project areas and the pro-
grams have been selected, an extensive
recruiting program is undertaken,
usually in March to coincide with the
beginning of the next phase which is
in June. The goal of the recruiting
program is to supply as much infor-
mation through multi-media exposure,
to as many students as possible in
hopes of obtaining a cross section of
the University population. Previous
UYA volunteers have come from var-
ious educational majors ranging from
Engineering to Education and Psycho-
logy.
Any person who is a full-time regis-
tered undergraduate or graduate stu-
dent of the University of Massachu-
setts or any one of the Five Colleges
may apply to the UYA program. It is
suggested that the applicant fulfill
most of his or her core requirements
and need one complete year's credit
before graduation. Other requirements
that the applicant should take into
consideration are that this is a full year
commitment. He or she must also take
responsibility for his or her housing
and food for that year. Since the vo-
lunteer is also enrolled as a full-time
student he or she is subject to the re-
spective billing procedures of the in- ^
stitution, although some University of
Massachusetts students are granted
fee waivers. Another requirement is
that the volunteer live within the com-
munity where they are serving.
Interested students attend orienta-
tion meetings which inform them of
the goals and the history of the UYA
program and after completing the pre-
liminary forms, and being interviewed
by prospective agencies, the volunteer
is informed of his or her acceptance
about a month before the training pro-
gram begins. The acceptance also de-
pends upon the securing of federal
funds. University and federal appro-
val and the completion of the UYA
orientation and agency training.
The training program is held prior
to the actual internship. The sponsor- "
ing organization provides on-the-job
training for the volunteer. This in-
volves informing the volunteer of the
job requirements, and instruction on
the necessary skills involved in the
job. Training also involves giving the
UYA volunteer an over-all perspective
of how his or her job relates to the
community and how to utilize com-
munity and University resources to
more effectively function within the
job and the community.
Once the training program has been
completed, the UYA volunteer begins
working on a full-time basis. The vo-
lunteer is not on a University schedule
during his or her internship and con-
siders him or herself an employee of
the institution. The volunteer is given
sick leave and vacations in accordance
with the Massachusetts regulations
for state employees.
The specific needs of the volunteer
are worked out by referring to many
support groups that are available to
the volunteer. These resources range
from local, state and federal agencies
to the faculty, and from the commun-
ity to fellow students. Another re-
source is the quarterly in-service
workshops which is designed to meet
the needs of the volunteer observed by
the faculty, supervisors and the vo-'
lunteer.
UYA is a cooperative effort between
volunteers, faculty, the organization
and the community. Because of this
sharing of goals, interests and needs,
UYA has been able to grow with the
demands and the needs of the Univer-
sity community and the off-campus
communities. To meet these changing
demands, UYA reevaluates its objec-
tives, programs and organizations and
creates a program that will most effec-
tively work for both communities.
This year several objectives have been
emphasized.
One objective is to increase minority
participation in the program. The lack
of minority involvement is attributed
to the lack of exposure to this new
model of in-service education. Many
students, because of their traditional
educational backgrounds are not
aware of the alternatives to classroom
learning that are available. Exposure
to experiential learning has been car-
ried out through articles and discus-
sions of this problem.
Another problem directly related to
the lack of minority involvement in
UYA is that many of the minority stu-
dents cannot afford a full-time intern-
ship. For this reason Summer '74 has
been established. This program pays
minority students enough money to
cover tuition and living expenses for
the next school year. One important
advantage of this program is that it
acquaints minority students with pre-
professional work, different commun-^
ities and provides a learning exper-
ience outside the traditional classroom.
Another program which has been
newly instituted is the cost-sharing
program. This requires' that a potential
sponsoring agency must make a writ-
ten commitment to pay fifty percent
of the stipend per volunteer per year.
This is done because of the decrease in
available funds for the ACTION pro-
gram.
Many other programs have been ex-
plored and created toinsure a produc-
tive and creative learning experience
for everyone involved in the Univer-
sity Year for ACTION. UYA seeks to
provide the opportunities for students
to grow and learn outside of the col-
lege community, while it also opens
up the University facilities to outside
communities. It is through communi-
cation and the breaking down of old
barriers that the program, the Univer-
sity, the comhiunities and the UYA
volunteers grow.
Fi-ve CoUeae CooperaUon
The aim of Five College Coopera-
tion is to provide students in the Pion-
eer Valley with a broader variety of
academic opportunities than would be
possible at any one school. Ahhough
the five institutions making up the
Five College Community differ in
identity and composition, they are all
committed to the concept of exchan-
ge/interchange of people, ideas and
facilities.
Cooperation among these schools is
not new. It all began in the 1800's
when the Amherst College faculty and
adminfetrators assisted in the estab-
lishment of Mount Holyoke College
(1837), Smith College (1871) and the
original Massachusetts Agricultural
College (1863) (now the University of
Massachusetts at Amherst) . The effort
was made for academic reasons. The
belief was that each of the colleges in
the early stage iof development {could
aid and abet each other's needs and
wants.
In 1957, the first coordinator of the
program was appointed. In 1958, a
four college committee recommended
the establishment of a fifth college to
be centrally located to take advantage
of the existing facilities while experi-
menting in alternative educational
concepts. Hamshire College, founded
in 1965 is the result of this project.
The Five College Cooperative Pro-
gram has grown over the years. The
informal student and faculty exchange
program began in the 1930's with only
a handful of students. During 1973-
74, almost 6,000 students enrolled in
courses away from their home cam-
pus. Although still run on an informal
basis, the procedure for enrolling in a
Five College course is neither difficult
or inconvenient.
The program is set up to comple-
ment and coordinate the academic de-
partments of the Five Colleges. There
is only one formal Five College De-
partment: Astronomy. Therefore
inter-disciplinary studies must be ar-
ranged by cooperation between the
schools and by student initiative.
Currently, there are nearly twenty
informal programs, dealing mostly in
one of these areas: Geographical Area
Studies, Black Studies, Urban Studies,
and the Arts. The Coordinator's office
also publishes Five College Faculty
and course lists in other fields, in-
forming the Five College Community
of each other's departmental course
offerings. To complement academic
departments, in addition to the normal
faculty exchange, there is a Five Col-
lege Joint Faculty Appointments Pro-
gram to attract distinguished and pro-
minent persons to teach in the Five
College Community.
One of the earliest cooperative ef-
forts still very much at the heart of the
academic coordinating effort is the
sharing of library resources. One of
the first formal agreements between
the schools was the creation of the
Hamphsire Inter-Library Center
(HILC) in 1951. The common reposi-
tory provides for the cooperative use
of rare and highly specialized books.
While its use is primarily limited to
faculty and graduate students, an
Inter-Library Loan is available to un-
dergraduate students. If a book cannot
be found at the home library, the
others will be consulted, and the ap-
propriate book withdrawn.
While academics lie at the crux of
the program. Five College Coopera-
tion provides other services, as well.
The program probably has as many
social and extracurricular activities as
any small college. There is a monthly
calendar, a newsletter and a radio sta-
tion, WFCR, to coordinate social
events. The five valley institutions
cooperatively publish a journal of li-
terature, the arts, and public affairs:
The Massachusetts Review. And a lec-
ture fund has been established for
those five college groups in need of
financial support to present Five Col-
lege lectures or symposia.
The principles of Five College arc
structured to benefit all five schools.
The hope is that this pooling of acade-
mic and social resources will
strengthen as well as broaden the edu-
cational offerings and programs in the
Pioneer Valley. A merger in the future
is not foreseen, however. According to
the Report of The Five College Long
Planning Committee, "Despite their
many similarities, each of the five in-
stitutions has a concept of its indivi-
dual role in education. Each has its
own identity, each its own style."
On a comparative basis. Five Col-
lege Cooperation stands out as one of
the better ones. Because it is one of the
oldest academic cooperatives in the
country and the first to include both
private colleges and a state university,
the Coordinator's office is constantly
being asked to supply information to
schools considering adopting some
aspect of cooperative education.
If the Five College Cooperation has
been so successful in its endeavors, is
there anything else possible? Of
course, responds Ms. Jackie Pritzen
the Associate Coordinator for Acade-
mic Programs, HILC could be made to
run more efficiently, slimming down
the budget without cutting back on
the services. And a more extensive and
efficient Five College Bus System
could be accomplished by providing
the students with a more in-depth ser-
vice such as more buses on nights and
weekends.
One of the more interesting new
proposals is the idea of Residential
Exchange. This would allow a student
of one of the Five Colleges to spend a
semester at a different school without
losing matriculation at his or her ori-
ginal college. Although it is still in the
planning stages, it seems it will have
potential success by the strong interest
of the students.
The possibilities of exchange
between the Five Colleges seem limit-
less. With each of the schools main-
taining its individuality by encourag-
ing its students to experience the var-
ious approaches to education, the
rewards and benefits appear endless
for both the students and schools. The
aim of cooperation is providng stu-
dents with new and different exper-
iences, which will hopefully encour-
age more students to take advantage
of the program.
InlernaUonal Exckartge
For someone who would like to ex-
perience a foreign culture for a month,
a summer, a semester, or an academic
year and earn university credits at the
same time, the people at the Interna-
tional Programs Office are the people
to speak with. They're the ones who
coordinate the extensive "study
abroad" program which has been in
existence since 1970. The two major
ways to go abroad (aside from student
teaching in a foreign country, which is
handled by the School of Education)
are: directly through a program of-
fered by the International Programs
Office or by applying to foreign pro-
gram offerings sponsored by other
U.S. universities and then, after ac-
ceptance, going through the proce-
dures at the International Programs
Office. The office can also help with
obtaining passports, visas. Interna-
tional Student Identity Cards, and low
cost travel. The programs are general-
ly for juniors and seniors, although in
some cases sophomores have partici-
pated. Participating students are ex-
pected to take courses in the univer-
sity associated with the program in
each particular city. Advisors' appro-
val should be obtained; in fact, pro-
grams are often recommended by
advisors.
Most students choose one of the
academic year programs, in places
such as; Germany, France, Finland,
England, Nigeria, Taiwan, Japan,
Canada, Janaiza, and Scotland. Pro-
grams are usually offered for the same
country, although occasionally the
specific cities are changed (for var-
iety) . Very few students go abroad for
just the fall semester, and only a little
more go for just the spring semester.
The January intersession program
(which is the most recent addition —
having begun in 1973) offers study in
places like Brazil, the Canal Zone,
Puerto Rico, Spain, and Europe. The
programs offered during January are
more of a mini-course nature; existing
programs include broadcasting, inter-
national business, and ski instruction.
Most January intersession and
summer programs are open to stu-
dents from other universities, but the
semester and academic year programs
are limited to U.Mass. and Five Col-
lege students.
If a student gets prior approval of
the courses he plans to take from his
academic advisor, the Dean of his col-
lege or school, and the Director of In-
ternational Programs, he can usually
get academic credit for his overseas
studies. Students who want to study
abroad should have an above average
academic record, and the program
should fit into his total academic pro-
gram.
Living arrangements differ depend-
ing on the program. Some students
have lived in hotels until they found
more permanent residences, such as
rooming houses or families. The stu-
dents who live with families have a
fascinating time trying to explain
everyday things about U.S. culture,
things which we all take for granted,
in many cases students are on a meal
plan at the University at which they're
studying, although some do have
cooking privileges.
Often students will attend classes
not with students of the country they
are visiting, but rather with other for-
eign students who are there through
similar programs as the one offered by
U.Mass. In this way they have a
chance to be exposed to many diverse
cultures as well as being in a foreign
environment. The class structures
differ with the programs. For example,
students at Grenoble, France, have
practical courses such as composition
a|?d grammar (held in French) in the
morning and courses in diverse areas
like literature, art history, and political
science in the afternoon. Often, how-
ever, juniors and seniors feel that they
have already had (at U. Mass) many of
the literature courses which are of-
fered.
Students benefit by having an op-
portunity to study a language and get
practical use of it. They also finally
get to experience the culture they have
studied at U. Mass; they now come to
understand that which they studied.
An important part of the whole exper-
ience is attitude. Students who are
afraid to get out and speak for fear of
demonstrating their non-fluency lose
out since those who make a sincere
effort to speak the language are aided
by the natives. Naturally, command of
the language improves more through
everyday use than it would through
attending classes at U. S. universities.
It takes students a little time to get
used to cultural differences such as a
much slower pace of life, different eat-
ing habits (such as dining later and
eating different foods) different ex-
tents of involvement in politics, dif-
ferent transit systems, different forms
of entertainment (students who were
in Grenoble were surprised to find
that dancing was banned within the
city limits, although it was permitted
on the campus just outside the city,)
and different clothing (in many places,
students dress more neatly than here
in the U.S.) Some of the programs in-
clude organized trips; both day trips
and weekend trips are included. The
semester programs often include a
two-week vacation during which time
the students can travel wherever they
like. The fact is, most students who go
abroad with the attitude that they tru-
ly want to enjoy and learn, do just
that. Very few complaints are made
about the programs offered by the In-
ternational Programs Office.
GLoWl Survival
One of the newer alternative learn-
ing programs at UMass has been the
Global Survival Freshman Year pro-
gram. Since it began in 1973, 130
freshmen have taken advantage of its
one year educational experience de-
signed to study future areas of con-
cern: War, peace and world order;
cross-cultural ^ communication and
conflict; environmental deterioration
and economic development; popula-
tion; and resources and their distribu-
tion. Director Steve Guild describes
the goal of Global Studies as helping
students become aware of thede issues,
and gaining the skills in writing and
speaking in order to deal with them.
He sees the small class sizes, the close
relationship between students and
teachers, and the drawing together of
freshmen with common intellectual
concerns as being of major importance
in achieving the program goals.
Freshmen are exposed to the Global
Studies Program during summer
counseling. Selection of students is
made on the basis of an application
and interview, but it is more of a pro-
cess of self -selection since the students
who are accepted are generally those
who continue to be interested. The
program begins with a four week in-
troductory lecture series which is at-
tended by all students and staff. This
is to provide a basis of information
from which students can form their
freshman year program. Then stu-
dents participate in a variety of modu-
lar courses, four to six weeks in
length, which delve into particular
aspect of global survival. Usually four
module per semester are taken. They
are taught by UMass faculty from 20
different departments as well as fa-
culty from other area colleges. Each
modular course stresses the relation-
ship of an academic field to the issues
of global survival. Skill courses are
taught as well to help students gain
proficiency in writing, speaking, and
using the computer and library.
Each student also participates in an
integrating seminar. This year-long
component of the program synthe-
sizes knowledge gained from the mo-
dules and elsewhere and emphasizes
the interconnectedness of Global Sur-
vival issues. Participants in the Global
Survival Program have the option of
independent study and research or of
becoming "apprentices" to faculty in
research or action projects. They may
also take one or two courses in the
regular university since program
courses only take up three-fifths of
their time.
The Global Survival Program is aca-
demically demanding with many more
questions than answers to the issues
which are examined. It is therefore not
a program suitable for all freshman.
But the students who do complete it
are rewarded with a strong grasp on
the problems of world concern today.
The program originally grew out of
a 1972 grant from the U. S. Office of
Education to promote international
studies at selected American Colleges.
A group of faculty from the Universi-
ty's Area Studies Committee and the
School of Education formed a plann-
ing group to discuss and formulate the
content of a program which would fo-
cus on global survival. A Faculty Col-
loquium was created by the planning
group in the Fall of 1972 which con-
sisted of 50 faculty members from
over 15 different departments. The
Colloquium members met once a week
to discuss the content and implications
of papers written by experts in various
fields connected with global survival.
At the end of the Colloquium, it was
decided that a planning session should
be set up in January of 1973 to discuss
how the issues of Global Survival
could best be presented to the stu-
dents. During this planning session,
several ideas were combined to sug-
gest a program for freshmen. In the
Spring of 1973, members of a core
planning group met to mold various
proposals into a definite working pro-
gram structure. After several revisions
of a document outlining the program,
the Global Survival Program was ap-
proved by the Academic Matters
Committee of the Faculty Senate, and
later by the entire Faculty Senate in
May, 1973.
Director Steve Guild hopes that the
future of the program will be to con-
tinue as it is, but on an expanded three
to five year contract. He wants to keep
providing what he considers to be one
of the most exciting freshman-year
educational experiences available in
any institution of higher education.
CoxxUmmiJ Eoitcatiort
The Continuing Education Program
is designed for those who, whether for
personal or financial reasons, believe
that the pursuit of education is not
their prime concern. It is for them a
part-time pursuit. Although degrees
are granted through the program.
Continuing Education at UMass
should be considered more than a
"night school'* or a "back door into
the university," but a means for mak-
ing the resources of the University of
Massachusetss more available to the
community.
Since it began in 1970, the Cont. Ed.
program's mandate has been to make
the university resources available to
persons who aren't working full time
on a four-year degree and who aren't
necessarily between the ages of 18-22.
According to a Cont. Ed. brochure:
"The Division believes that education
is a life-long process, and in the past
four years (it) has developed an exten-
sive range of programs to meet the
needs of individuals for whom a four-
year, full-time academic program is
unnecessary or undesirable."
What "types" of people study part-
time? The rationale for pursuing part-
time education varies from person to
person.
"A lot of adults have a reason to
continue their education," says Ms.
Debbie Bernstein, their Director of
Public Relations, "they have to look
somewhere for job retraining." But
there are others she mentions who
sign up for courses "mostly for their
own satisfaction."
Some Cont Ed. students aren't full
time studen^pecause they have full-
time jobs and they usually enroll in
courses of the Evening College. This
branch of Cont. Ed., began in 1970
with 40 courses. It°now has about 100
courses, including everything from
Accounting to Zoology. These are tra-
ditional courses offered for academic
credit. They are similar to, if not the
same as those offered through the
daytime university. If their schedule
permits, Cont. Ed. students may enroll
in regular day-time university courses.
However, their admission is on a space
available basis.
Although enrollment in a Cont. Ed.
course does not include matriculation
as a UMass student, it is possible after
taking enough Cont. Ed. courses and
having a satisfactory cum, to ^arn a
Bachelor's Degree within some speci-
fic field. Cont. Ed. students are eligible
for any undergraduate degree offered
by the university. In addition, stu-
dents in the program can create their
own majors according to their own
specifications and earn a Bachelor of
General Studies (BGS) degree.
The academic extension program is
not limited to the Amherst area.
"Cont. Ed.'s philosophy is that it
exists to give access to the university
to people through the Common-
wealth," explained Ms. Berstein.
Cont. Ed. will grant credit to those
people who are pursuing their educa-
tions but are not or can not be in this
area. Credit is granted not only in es-
tablished programs but also in inde-
pendant study arrangements. Special
arrangements have been made and
programs developed to grant Bachelor
of General Studies degrees in the
fields of Law Enforcement, Fire
Science Administration, National
Sciences and Applied Administrative
Sciences.
In the past, credit has been granted
for work done by someone who was
working and living in Boston. (UMass
at Boston does not have a Cont. Ed.
Program.) If someone wanted to get
credit for something — field work, re-
search, or work done on the job, or
some kind of experience and could ar-
range with a professor for credit, it is
possible through Continuing Educa-
tion. People have been awarded credit
for their work and experiences in
Nantuchket, Martha's Vineyard and
even Africa.
The Cont. Ed. program has estab-
lished an academic extension program
in Springfield. In its fourth semester,
it now offers 30 courses of broad and
general interest. It partly concerns it-
self with offering fields that demand a
training in an urban atmosphere
which could not be accomplished in
the Amherst and surrounding areas
. . . For instance, in Springfield a Le-
gal Assistant Training Program trains
people to aid lawyers.
The future looks bright for Cont.
Ed. It has the ability and mobility to
organize and carry out new and inno-
vative programs through another
aspect of Cont. Ed. — the conference
series. This branch includes not only
conferences but workshops, lectures
and symposiums. Although these
"shorts" are not always given for cre-
dit, they are ideal for persons inter-
ested in concentrated information in a
short time, rather than enrolling in a
full semester course.
Last year, Cont. Ed. ran over 270
conferences that involved over 21,000
conferencees.
"We hope to add between 50-70 si-
milar programs in the upcoming
year." boasts Ms. Bernstein.
Some examples currently in pro-
gress are "Toward Tomorrow: A
Symposium of Alternatives"; "Inte-
gral Medicine for the Whole Self";
"Community Arts Leadership Work-
shop Series" and "Project Self."
With extensive programs like these.
is there any possibility of becoming
incorporated into the university? (The
program is not state funded, so it re-
lies totally on student's course and ac-
tivities fees.) Jackie Posner, Director
of Student Services seem receptive to
the idea.
"As Continuing Education and the
idea of part-time education expands,
the university will have to realize its
obligations to serve part-time stu-
dents."
Whether this comes about or not, it
shouldn't radically change the concept
of Continuing Education. The mixture
of the evening college, the academic
extension, and the conference series,
has made it possible for persons to
pursue interests where it would not
have been possible otherwise. Estab-
lished to make education available not
only to the young and educated, its
mandate centers on the idea that peo-
ple are never too old to learn.

Shirley Graham DuBois, writer,
teacher, and widow of the late Dr.
W.E.B. DuBois, came to the Univer-
sity of Massachusetts in 1973 to re-
ceive an honorary degree and returned
in the spring of 1975 by invitation to
teach creative writing in the W.E.B.
DuBois Department of Afro-
American Studies. Mrs. DuBois, a re-
sident of Cairo, Egypt, recently visited
the People's Republic of China, where
as their guest, she celebrated with the
Chinese Government and people, the
25th anniversary of the republic. Prior
to moving to Cairo, Mrs. DuBois and
Dr. DuBois lived in Ghana, West
Africa, where she was founder and
first director of the national television
network of that country.
Mrs. DuBois has received fellow-
ships from the Guggenheim Founda-
tion for the study of drama at Yale
University. She has studied West
African languages at the African Insti-
tute in Ghana, and Arabic at the
American University in Cairo.
While Dr. W.E.B. DuBois, original-
ly a resident of Massachusetts, is re-
membered internationally as the
founder of modern black studies and
the father of Pan-Africanism, Mrs.
DuBois has been a serious student of
the black experience since her child-
hood days. Her master's thesis at
Oberlin College, where she took a
master's degree in 1935, was entitled
"Survivals of Africanism in Modern
Music".
In her varied and distinguished car-
eer, Mrs. DuBois has served as an
educator; she has been the head of the
Fine Arts department at Tennessee
State College and a professor of Music
at Morgan State College; in 1936-38
she was director of the Negro Reper-
tory of the Chicago Federal Theatre,
she has worked as a field secretary for
the NAACP and has served as the
founding editor of Freedomways ma-
gazine during the period 1960-1963,
and as English editor of the Afro-
Asian Writers Journal of Peking in
1968.
Her books have been translated into
over forty languages and have won
numerous awards. They include
works on the lives of Paul Robeson,
George Washington Carver, and Phyl-
lis Wheatley for young readers. Her
biography of Frederick Douglass,
There Once Was A Slave, took the
Messner-Lionel Judah Tachna Award
for the best book combatting intoler-
ance in America in 1947. It was trans-
lated and published in Moscow and
Peking in 1959 and a pocket-book edi-
tion was put out by the United States
Navy; in 1950 the work was set in
braille by the United States Army. A
memoir of the late Dr. DuBois she
published, entitled His Day Is March-
ing On, concerns their life and exper-
iences together.
Her other books include works on
Benjamin Banneker, Pocohontas,
Booker T. Washington, Gamel Abdel
Nasser, and Julius K. Nyere. Her latest
novel, Zulu Heart, which was pub-
lished last year, describes the repres-
sion and harassment of the black po-
pulation of South Africa by the white
minority population. The book tells
about a white South African physician
who, after receiving in a heart trans-
plant, a heart from a black worker, is
transformed from a racist into a liber-
ation leader.
This past spring, the course Mrs.
DuBois taught in the W.E.B. DuBois
Department was entitled "What is Li-
terature?: Seminar in Creative Writ-
ing", and examined and analyzed so-
cial, cultural, political, and religious
influences on the development of
writing as a form of communication.
A variety of Third World and Euro-
pean sources traced the relation of the
written word to social order and man's
relation to man.
According to Professor John Bracey,
Jr., Chairman of the W.E.B. DuBois
Department, her students had and will
have "the opportunity to study under
Mrs. DuBois. For them it is a chance
to meet one of the great figures of
contemporary history. Mrs. DuBois,
with her husband, has been witness to
and participant in some of the major
developments which go to make up
the contemporary black world. The
University has been very fortunate."
Besides the course she taught in the
department named after her late hus-
band, Mrs. DuBois offered two lec-
tures in her role as Distinguished Vi-
siting Lecturer in the W.E.B. DuBois
Department of Afro-American Stu-
dies at the University.
The first lecture was entitled
"W.E.B. DuBois, Father of Pan-
Africanism"; Pan Africanism as a
concept meaning simply "All Africa";
Pan Africanism embraces the collec-
tive unity of African people through-
out the world. She gave a historical
background of DuBois' early educa-
tional and political activity, speaking
also of the DuBois-Booker T. Wa-
shington controversy that developed
over different ideologies of the two
black educators on the question of
black education. Mrs. DuBois related
what went into the planning of the
Pan African Conference and Con-
gresses which DuBois helped organ-
ize, exposing attempts made by the
U.S. and British governments to stop
the Congress from taking place. De-
spite harassment, the Congress took
place and was later followed by Con-
gresses in Brussels, Lisbon, Portugal,
and New York City, attended by black
leaders from Europe, Africa, U.S.,
South America, and the West Indies.
Her second lecture dealt with "The
New China". Preceding this lecture
was a short color film of the visit to
China made by Dr. W.E.B. DuBois
and Mrs. DuBois in 1959. The film
documents a tour begun in the spring
of 1959 after the celebration of Dr.
DuBois's ninety-first birthday in Pek-
ing. The Chinese made the film and it
is part of the W.E.B. DuBois collection
acquired by the University from Shir-
ley DuBois.
Presently Mrs. DuBois is plSnning a
book on the women of China. Acting
on Mao Tse-tung's statement, "Wo-
men hold up half the sky", the women
of China are moving from a life of
incredible servitude under the old re-
gime to partnership in revolutionizing
their society. Mrs. DuBois interviewed
women from many walks of life: Phy-
sicians, "barefoot doctors", oil well
workers, whose experiences, many of
them remember and suffered the past,
will be the center of the book.
In recent years, Mrs. DuBois' rela-
tion to the University of Massachu-
setts has been a close one. In 1970, the
newly created Department of Afro-
American Studies was named after Dr.
DuBois in honor of "his intellectual
contribution to the Black World"; and
in 1972, the University announced its
acquisition of the "DuBois Papers",
the correspondence, manuscripts, and
addresses of Dr. DuBois during his
long career; the first of three volumes
of which have been published by the
University Press. The general editor of
the papers is Dr. Herbert Aptheker, a
long time friend and associate of Dr.
DuBois. In 1973, Mrs. DuBois was a
guest of the University which con-
ferred on her the degree, "Doctor of
Humane Letters", for her contribution
to world literature.
"It is with extreme pleasure that I
return to the United States to join the
faculty of the University of Massa-
chusetts", commented Mrs. DuBois
upon arrival at the University. "The
W.E.B. DuBois Department of Afro-
American Studies here, with its fine
faculty of men and women dedicated
to truth and integrity is opening up
new vistas of understanding, know-
ledge, and inspiration to our youth. I
shall endeavor to make some contribu-
tion to this program, and look forward
to meeting and working with the
young people at the University."
During the summer she traveled to
Cairo, but will be back in the States
this fall, to resume her teaching duties
here and to teach a course in the Black
Studies Department at Harvard Uni-
versity.
Dr. Charles D. Cox is trying to do
what no person has ever done: grow
the syphilis organism in the labora-
tory. If he succeeds, this feat could
lead to a syphilis vaccine and the curb-
ing of the social disease which now
afflicts us in epidemic proportions.
The syphilis organism, a spirochete
called Treponema pallidum, was first
seen in 1905. Since then, textbooks
have classified the organism as an an-
aerobe, meaning it grows in the ab-
sence of oxygen.
After six months of reading "the
evidence" in Washington, D. C. li-
braries. Dr. Cox concluded the scien-
tists used "poor logic" in classifying
the spirochete as an anaerobe.
The UMass microbiologist believes
the spirochete uses oxygen in a respir-
ation process involving oxidative
phosphorylation.
Too much oxygen, however, can
kill the spirochete. So scientists who
exposed the organism to the atmosh-
pere, and its relatively high oxygen
content, in effect killed the organism
with oxygen. This might have mislead
scientists to erroneously conclude that
the spirochete is anaerobic.
Dr. Cox, with Miriam K. Barber,
has also been experimenting with sub-
strates, or food, the organism requires
to grow. Soon the pair will couple a
precise amount of oxygen with the
proper substrates and hopefully the
spirochete will grow in the test tube.
"We're now getting into the most
exciting part of our research," says the
soft-spoken scientist. "It's like a game
of poker," he adds with a slight grin
on his face.
Dr. Cox says he's concerned about
what is not known of syphilis. "We
don't know if there is one type of or-
ganism causing syphilis or more than
one type." He also notes that the dis-
ease appears to be changing since it
first appeared in the early 16th cen-
tury. "Syphilis is becoming more hid-
den, harder to identify."
Articles about his research have
been published in the New York
Times, Time Magazine, the Boston
Globe and a host of other non-
technical publications. With this great
exposure there is a great deal of pres-
sure on Dr. Cox to quickly grow the
organism as many other researchers
have begun their own efforts. The
pharmaceutical firms are also keenly
interested in Dr. Cox's experiments:
packaging a syphilis preventing vac-
cine would be big money.
Dr. Cox was not always interested
in syphilis. After receiving his PhD
from the University of Illinois, he
headed a microbiology lab in the Far
East during WWII and became inter-
ested in leptospira. He has taught at
the Medical College of Va., Penn State
and worked in the Office of Naval Re-
search in Washington, D. C. Thirteen
years ago he came to UMass to head
the Dept. of Microbiology, which he
did for ten years.
Besides being the leading expert on
syphilis. Dr. Cox is also involved with
NASA as consultant for the Space
Science Board, Exobiology Panel. He is
now gearing for the Viking Space
Flights. The purpose of those flights,
he says, is to see if there's life on
Mars. He and fellow scientists will
soon be meeting to recommend to
NASA what experiments should be
run on the surface of Mars.
If all that's not enough, the pipe and
cigarette smoking professor has active
ties with Congress. As Chairman of
the Public Affairs Committee for the
American Society of Microbiology,
Dr. Cox helps line up expert scientific
testimony before various Congres-
sional Committees.
Besides his research and consulting
roles. Dr. Cox teaches a course here in
immunology. He usually selects one or
two undergraduates from that class to
work with him on his research. "I
don't believe in giving undergraduates
Mickey Mouse problems to work on,"
he says.
In what little spare time he has. Dr.
Cox shoots, developes and prints his
own color photographs. Some of his
photographs line his small office in
the Morrill Science Bldg. One striking
photograph is of his son Charles who
also works in microbiology as a
professor at the University of Iowa
Medical School.
Plans for the future? "I think there
will be enough work on syphilis to
keep me going for the rest of my ac-
tive life."
He lectures his classes like an actor
addressing an audience, crossing the
"stage" with well plotted paces, and
pausing, hesitating momentarily be-
fore releasing another fact for the no-
tebooks. "I have a hammy flair", he
said, that makes the lecture go down
easier. I've always loved acting, I've
played almost all the classic, comic,
Falstaffian fatmen roles." At a meet-
ing of the faculty senate, when scan-
dal in the School of Education was
being discussed, he satirically sug-
gested "bringing Leon Jaworski and
Archibald Cox" to investigate the
matter.
In 1971, Howard Ziff was recruited
by UMass to head the Journalistic
Studies program. Prior to that, he had
been teaching journalism at the Uni-
versity of Illinois. He graduated from
Amherst College in 1952, went on to
graduate school at Columbia, earning
a degree in Philosophy. In 1954, he
went in the Army for two years. From
1956 through 1958, he was a reporter
with the news bureau of Chicago,
which he calls "a legendary training
ground for reporters, a sink or swim
training ground." One of the legends
he worked with was Mike Royko,
now the author of "Boss", about Chi-
cago Mayor Richard Daley, which
mentions Howard in the dedication.
For the next ten years, he was a ver-
satility expert with the Chicago Daily
News (except for a two year stint at
the Columbia School of Journalism as
a Ford Foundation Fellow) . During his
stay at the News, he was a reporter, a
rewriter, an assistant editor, night edi-
tor and editorial writer. He also co-
vered the Illinois State Capital and the
U. S. Capitol.
He'd like to see the Journalistic Stu-
dies Program, which due to financial
inadequacy is part of the English De-
partment, gain autonomy, and expand
the curriculum to include full-time
courses in journalism history, produc-
tion graphics journalism and law and
editing.
Since a journalism student also has
to major in English, due to the double
major requirement, he feels that stu-
dent should use the English Depart-
ment "towards the development of
expression." To emphasize this, he
opens a course catalogue to the Eng-
lish Department's section, which
houses more than thirty writing
courses. Pointing to a typewriter, he
says "The basic strength of a journa-
lism student is writing."
Even before he became an academi-
cian, Howard had been teaching the
art of journalism. "When I worked
with the Daily News, people who
needed instruction were assigned to
work with me."
Why did he depart from his estab-
lished position as a practicing journa-
list? "I worked pretty hard as a new-
spaperman. I don't want to say I did
everything, but I got tired of newspa-
pering. Before I started teaching, I had
the illusion that it was less demanding
than newspapering — I was wrong."
He's an afficionado of journalistic
antiques (he loves perusing old maga-
zines, observing production techni-
ques) , an inveterate pipe smoker, and
a birdwatcher: "I came to birdwatch-
ing late in life, well, not too old, I'm
only 46. Birdwatching is a challenge to
make a quick identification, it's a test
of memory and a lot of physical acti-
vity, very much like reporting. It's my
major hobby aside from intellectual
pursuits."
The Collegian — "The collegian is a
good education for a Journalistic Stu-
dies student, but it's not enough; a
student needs professional criticism to
help him improve."
He believes that people interested in
pursuing journalism as a vocation
should major in it because "more than
fifty percent of new jobs in journalism
are being given to people with journa-
lism degrees."
His office, also the Journalistic Stu-
dies Office, he calls "my city room."
It does resemble a city room, with ty-
pewriters and desks and scattered with
newspapers. It is also, in effect, a li-
brary of journalism and George Or-
well, whom he sometimes teaches
courses on. His door is usually open,
and again like a city room, is fre-
quented by journalists, albeit student
journalists.
Howard Ziff strides across campus,
looking straight ahead, followed by an
entourage listening to him expound or
inveigh against topics worthy of jour-
nalistic coverage; politics, govern-
ment, etc. or the journalistic process
perse-activity and trends of the print
and electronic media. And they're
walking fast to keep up with him,
bending their necks upward to try to
catch some eye contact with the beard-
ed face on the bulky 6'2" frame, and
Howard Ziff keeps on walking, look-
ing straight ahead.
She is the Pied Piper of UMass
nursing students.
Yet Assistant Professor of Zoology
Barbara J. White has never slapped a
clamp into a surgeon's hand, changed
a day-old dressing, or even injected an
antiobiotic into a patient's arm. She
has been 100 per cent teacher since her
graduation from Mt. Holyoke College
in '39.
Mrs. White first taught anatomy
and physiology to nursing students
here in '61 and has been doing so ever
since. One of the few tenured teachers
who does not have a PhD., she spends
no time on research and all her time
with her students. "I feel responsible
that what my students don't learn is
my fault," she says. In '71 she re-
ceived the Distinguished Teacher's
Award.
But Mrs. White's dedication goes
far beyond the Human Design text-
book. In a field where professional de-
tachment and unemotional observa-
tion are often a strict dogma, Mrs.
White is genuinely concerned with the
welfare of each student. "Her interests
transcend the books and go to each
person," says laboratory teaching as-
sistant Stephen E. Gray ('75). "Ever-
yone feels it." In her first class each
semester Mrs. White says her door is
open to anyone with any type of prob-
lem. On the blackboard she writes her
home telephone number but asks that
she not be called after midnight.
"She's indescribable," says Bridget
G. Amy ('75), also a laboratory teach-
ing assistant. "My friends used to tell
me 'Wait until you get Mrs. White!'
and now I'm telling my younger
friends, 'Wait until you get Mrs.
White!' "
Mrs. White is also a longstanding
feminist. At Mt. Holyoke she studied
under and later taught with many
highly-respected women scientists in-
cluding Elizabeth Adams, a famous
endocrinologist. Mt. Holyoke is, Mrs.
White says, the "heritage of women's
education at its best." As women
professors inspired her, Mrs. White
hopes to inspire her women students.
"Much of my interest with women,"
she says, "is that it shows them they
can 'go on' with education."
Mrs. White's sense of the pioneer is
certainly captured too in her private
life. When she and James were mar-
ried in '42, they bought six acres of
land in South Hadley and built their
home. In their spacious backyard they
planted 1,000 pine trees which today
stand taller than 40 feet. As the pine
needles drop to the ground, they form
a thick, pristine carpet.
When daughter Cindy (also a Mt.
Holyoke graduate) married a few
years ago, the Whites gave the new-
lyweds some of their land and helped
the young couple also build their
home ... a log cabin. Now, Mr. and
Mrs. White have their own log cabin
in Vermont, three miles south of the
Canadian border on a pond's shore:
Thoreau would approve. "She has an
enthusiasm for life," Gray says.
For all her free-wheeling spirit, Mrs.
White is nonetheless a demanding
teacher. She lectures quickly ("There's
a lot to cover") and frequently aug-
ments class topics with laboratory to-
pics. Her exams are comprehensive
and fair.
When Mrs. White retires, she would
like to spend time around her home,
something, she says, she "loves to
do." She will certainly have left much
at UMass.
Gray suggests her epitaph: "Here
lies B. J. White. She cared . . . Perhaps
too much."
There's five ounces of moon dust at
the University of Massachusetts that
is not only yielding tons of informa-
tion about the origin of the universe,
but is also helping one UMass scien-
tist to unlock the long-sought secrets
of the moon.
Dr. Stephen E. Haggerty, a geolo-
gist specializing in magnetic minera-
logy at UMass, is one of 90 scientists
in the world selected by the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA) to analyze the lunar samples
brought to earth by America's first
series of landing missions which be-
gan in 1969.
As a result of his research efforts,
Haggerty was co-discoverer of two
new minerals, armalcolite and chro-
miumulvospinel, found in the samples
returned by Apollo 11. Dr. Haggerty
named one of the new minerals "ar-
malocolite" after the Apollo 11 crew,
Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins, who
first made the successful journey to
the lunar surface.
Primarily interested in the examina-
tion of the iron-titanium-chromium
oxides. Dr. Haggerty has found that
while these minerals are a minor com-
ponent of lunar material, they are im-
portant because they may help deter-
mine the moon's magnetic properties
and the nature of the early crystalliza-
tion behavior of lunar magmas.
Another important mineral which
Dr. Haggerty says is greatly expand-
ing man's knowledge of the moon is
the famous "orange soil" that caused
so much excitement during the last
Apollo mission. He has a small quan-
tity of the soil in his possession and
just recently wrote a paper on the sub-
ject.
The orange soil may help geologists
determine whether the moon's craters
result from volcanic or meteoric acti-
vity.
"Strangely enough, a substance si-
milar to the composition and shape of
the orange soil appears in two places
on earth, in Italy and Hawaii, both
sites of recent volcanic activity."
While this fact would seem to sup-
port the vulcanism theory, the orange
soil, according to Dr. Haggerty, could
have been caused by high-speed me-
teroic impact.
"The lunar explorers," Dr. Hag-
gerty explains, "found a substantial
quantity of the orange glass spheres
lining the floor of the moon's craters
but found no large meteorite frag-
ments."
Dr. Haggerty believes that the me-
teorite probably vaporizes when it hits
the lunar surface, resulting in the gen-
eration of intense heat which melts the
soil and rock. The low surface temper-
ature on the moon rapidly cools the
material forming the glass spheres. He
says a technique must be found that
will enable geologists to distinguish a
primary magma, generated from
within the moon's crust from a secon-
dary molten material generated at the
surface from hypervelocity meteoric
impact. Then scientists can determine
whether a crater is volcanic or me-
teoric in origin.
Dr. Haggerty is also accumulating
data revealing the approximate age of
the lunar samples. Geologists set the
exposure age, which is the length of
time that a sample has occupied a site
on the surface, at 30 million years.
The approximate absolute age, which
is the actual date when the mineral
was first formed, is something in the
order of 3.6 to 3.7 billion years.
Assisting Dr. Haggerty in his quest
for information is a new, fully auto-
mated electron microprobe. The mi-
croprobe, which was first developed in
France in 1955 by a doctoral student,
can quickly analyze rocks and miner-
als with a remarkable degree of accur-
acy. The $160,000 device can com-
plete a chemical analysis of any min-
eral sample in three minutes. A
$90,000 research grant from the Na-
tional Science Foundation helped to
purchase the hardware. The remaining
$70,000 was provided by the Univer-
sity of Massachusetts, according to
Dr. Haggerty.
In 1972, Dr. Haggerty was given
the opportunity to gain information
from samples returned by the Soviet
Union's Luna 20 lander when he was
invited to participate in the US-Soviet
Academy of Science exchange pro-
gram. Lunar samples returned by the
Apollo missions were exchanged for
samples returned by the unmanned
Soviet craft which landed in an area
never explored by American astron-
auts.
The Luna 20 sample is important to
American scientists because a com-
parison of U.S. and Soviet samples
will dictate the degree to which they
will be able to generalize about the
composition of the moon.
Dr. Haggerty however, expresses
concern over the lack of communica-
tion between Russian and American
scientists calling it a "great tragedy".
Haggerty has never exchanged infor-
mation with a Soviet scientist but does
desire to meet with his counterpart in
the Soviet Union.
"I would like to see what they're
finding out about their samples and
furthermore, I would like to find out
what they're doing with the samples
we gave to them. It is probable that
the Russians are discovering some
crucial information that we would
find very interesting."
Dr. Haggerty's hunt for knowledge
about the universe is about to extend
beyond the earth and her moon. With
his eyes toward the early 1980's, Hag-
gerty eagerly awaits the successful
completion of an unmanned mission
to Mars set to return with a sample of
Martian soil. Haggerty serves on an
advisory committee called the Lunar
Samplex Analysis Planning Team
which is now beginning to map out a
plan for the Mars probe in addition to
its usual job of organizing the research
efforts of the lunar material.
The team, an agency of NASA, is
presently concerned with the levels of
contamination returned by the
sample-carrying vehicle. Exobiologists
feel there is the potential for life on
Mars and furthermore believe, accord-
ing to Dr. Haggerty, that Mars may
once have had an atmosphere rather
similar to earth. Biologists have no
idea what the organisms might look
like if they indeed exist but scientists
do fear a potential danger. Dr. Hag-
gerty assures the public extensive
measures will be taken to guarantee
the safety of earthlings.
A native of Germiston, South Afri-
ca, Dr. Haggerty grew up in a gold
mining environment and attributes it
as his source of interest in geology. At
the age of 19, he left South Africa be-
cause of political dissatisfaction and
emigrated to Canada where he worked
in the Northern Canadian bush as a
geological assistant.
Dr. Haggerty began his formal geo-
logical career in 1961 and 1964 took a
degree in Economic Geology from the
College of Science and Technology,
University of London. In 1968 he took
a second degree, also from the Univer-
sity of London. His PhD thesis, "The
Fe-Ti Oxides in Icelandic basic rocks
and their significance in rock magne-
tism," gave him an excellent back-
ground for the study of these minerals
as found in rocks from the lunar sur-
face.
Dr. Haggerty first became involved
in the Lunar Sample Analysis Program
while on a Carnegie fellowship at the
Carnegie Institute in Washington
D.C.. It was during that period that
the first samples arrived from the
Apollo 11 mission. Interestingly en-
ough, Haggerty's research work in
London had a direct bearing on the
types of minerals returned by the first
Apollo mission. Haggerty was chosen
by NASA to take part in the program
on the basis of this experience.
The only geologist ever to walk on
the lunej surface was Jack Schmitt, a
member of the Apollo 17 crew. Dr.
Haggerty says it is tragic that NASA
waited until the last mission to send an
experienced geologist.
"More detailed documentation of
what the samples actually looked like
on the moon was accumulated by
Schmitt than by all the other missions
combined".
If he were selected for a trip to the
moon. Dr. Haggerty would choose the
far side as his first choice of landing
sites.
"I would go to either of two places:
I would choose to go to someplace we
haven't landed and that would be the
reverse side of the moon or alternati-
vely to go back to the Apollo 15 site,
which, from my point of view, is per-
haps the most exciting site that we've
really had a close look at."
Samuel Bowles
Herbert Gintis
It's no longer uncommon to find
economics classes that deviate from
the usual neoclassical economic
theory. It's also possible to enroll in
classes that have the "radical" ap-
Stephen Resnick proach. The term "radical" in this case
refers not just to a desire to change
some aspects of the economy (because
that can be done within the present
capitalistic system); but rather to a
philosophy that is in discord with con-
ventional economics (which accepts
the status quo of the capitalistic sys-
tem.)
The economics department is now
felt to be one of the most interesting
and exciting departments on campus;
one whose strength lies in the balance
between the solid neoclassical ("radi-
cal") contingent.
UMass is fairly unique in this re-
spect; what other schools talk about
actually exists here. The diversity of
the department has come about
through a change in the composition
of the faculty. No longer is it the case
that students have seen the same fa-
culty for years and years; somewhere
between one third and one half the
faculty members are new. In fact, two
Michael Best neoclassical professors have just been
hired by the department; one is a
mathematical economist and the other
a microeconomist.
One of the original "radical"
members of the department is Profes-
sor Michael Best, (who came here in
1969.) This year, a controversy arose
over granting him tenure, but it was
finally granted. Another member of
the non-traditional group is Professor
Stephen Resnick who began here in
the 1973-74 academic year after teach-
ing at the City College of N.Y. for two
years and Yale University for eight
years before that. Professor Resnick
says that it was the possibility of ac-
complishing the present balance that
attracted him to UMass.
Professors Herbert Cintis and Sa-
muel Bowles both joined the UMass
faculty in the fall 1974 term after hav-
ing taught at Harvard University. Dr.
Bowles, who does a lot of research on
education, was an Associate Professor
at Harvard for nine years, but left be-
cause he wanted to work with people
with viewpoints similar to his own. He
has said, "I was tired of being a token
radical." Many of the "radicals" came
here at the same time and knew each
other beforehand; they were attracted
to UMass. because the administration
was committed to both diversity and
education.
When questioned about the strong
points of the department. Dr. Bowles
mentioned five. The first is that the
department excels in economic history
and Marxian political economy, is
strong in history of thought, labor,
and international economics, and al-
lows both undergraduate and graduate
students to get a good education. An
unusual amount of good teachers is
the department's second strength. Its
near uniqueness in diversity is another
distinguishing feature. He feels that
"Economics is in a state of flux" due
to the current economic crisis and that
students deserve the right to study
different theories which they can then
evaluate and decide upon for them-
selves. After all, a "correct" approach
may not exist. A fourth attribute cited
is the quality of the graduate students
(in terms of their background, the
amount of work they are willing to do,
and their seriousness) . Dr. Bowles said
the fifth strength is that the depart-
ment is strong in the macroeconomic
fields.
Dr. Bowles also feels some areas
need strengthening. These include
giving more serious attention to the
development of more diversity in the
undergraduate curriculum ridding the
department of inactive (as far as
teaching research) faculty members,
and more strongly developing possibi-
lities for research.
Dr. Resnick feels one relative weak-
ness lies in the need for faculty in re-
gional economics, industrial organiza-
tion, and money and banking, as well
as the need for women. He also feels
that there is a serious departmental
problem as far as the introductory
courses (Economics 100, 103, and
104) ; they are too large to offer a fair
educational experience. The large size
is partially due to the School of Busi-
ness Administration's requirement of
Economics 103 and 104. Dr. Resnick
would also like to see the department
give more attention to the economic
majors; there should be more group
endeavors by which undergrads could
get to know faculty members and
other economics majors.
Enrollments in economics courses
have increased. This is attributed both
to the ongoing problems of the present
capitalist system and to the attraction
students have for an interdisciplinary
system (such as Marxism). Non ma-
jors are enrolling in economics
courses and more students are major-
ing in economics (since the depart-
ment isn't as narrow.) Dr. Resnick
sees the department as being under-
staffed if the present trend continues;
it would not be able to properly han-
dle all the students.
Dr. Bowles says that microeconomic
theory is an important background (a
partial tool) and it is therefore impor-
tant that neoclassical economics is
taught well. The Marxist courses pro-
vide the historical and institutional
framework within which economics
developed. According to him, tools
such as math are limiting and must be
kept up with since they become obso-
lete. Most people coming through
economic programs are technocratic as
far as Dr. Bowles is concerned. On the
other hand, the Marxist approach stu-
dies both the technical aspect and the
human relations aspect.
The "radical" view deals with hu-
man nature and how people become
the way they are technology industrial
structures the relationship between
political and economic systems, a dyn-
amic analysis and making a funda-
mental change in the structure of the
economy.
Dr. Resnick offered a smiliar ex-
planation for the "radical" approach;
he sees it as asking questions about
the economy in terms of the roles of
institutions, the role of history in the
development of the economy, the rela-
tion between affluence and poverty,
and the history of thought.
A positive suggestion offered by
Dr. Resnick deals with Undergraduate
feedback. He'd like to have better in-
formation than that which appears on
the evaluation sheets, information
such as what the economic majors
think about the existing program and
what changes they'd like to see made.
Department members feel the de-
partment is committed to quality
teaching and research and, for the
most part, won't divide along political
lines. The conflicts over what the de-
finition of economic is and what it
ought to be make for interesting intra-
departmental debates.

The current fine arts magazine of
UMass is Spectrum, publishing hc-
tion, non-fiction, poetry, artwork,
and black and white photography
with a high quality graphics that
complements its select works. It
offers student artists, by having
their works published in Spectrum,
a truly fulfilling way in which to
benefit from the fruits of their labor.
UMass has had a literary maga-
zine since 1887 to meet the needs of
authors, artists and photographers
^play their works and similarly,
of students to participate in
ieexperience of quality artwork of-
fered them by their colleagues. Pre-
viously, a directions manual to the
T'niversity for Freshmen, Spectrum
became established as such by 1967.
In February 1971, when a budget
allowance of $26,522 for Spectrum
enabled the publication of up to
three issues yearly, the magazine
was awarded the Printing Industry
of America award for excellence
in the one and four-color category.
While it is uncommon for collegiate
publications to receive this award,
it was particularly gratifying to the
Spectrum staff because it was cho-
sen by members of the commercial
print mg industr\ m open competi-
t !on wil h professional puWu ation.,
More recently, the magazine has
been forced to cut down to one pub-
lication per year. It must reject ap-
proximately 94-^fc of all material it
receives, accepting less graphic
artwork and having to accept more
fiction, non-fiction, poetry and
black-and-white photography fori
economic reasons. I
Chip Lalonde and Bill Whitman
are co-editors of this year's Spec-
trum. Lalonde, a senior English ma-
jor, is striving to make Spectrum
the strong voice on campus that n
was before being stricken by the m-
itial cuts in budget. But he finds
himself in an awkward position.
"It's pretty hard to defend art,
. . . you appreciate it or you don't,"
he says. "I hope our petition will
help somewhat, but quahty is im-
portant to maintain. By only com-
ing out once a year, people lose in-
terest in Spectrum. We forfeit qua-
lity contributions that way."
The staff of Spectrum consists of
twelve editors who read and com-
ment on contributions and offer
their own work for evaluation.

"I take the future of the University
" that is, its public and governmen-
tal support, to be relatively secure. I
am concerned that the shape and
..pirit fit the 1970's and not be left
iiehind." President Robert Wood.
quoted in the 1971 Index, p. 105.
'In particular, we want to make
sure that under the pressure of ex-
panding demands for admission and
commitments for construction, we do
not build a large but obsolete Univer-
sity. A design for the 1950s will not
do in the 1970s." ibid.
\
" . . one of the central issues
facing us (is) whether the Univer-
sity is to be an institution which
remains relatively isolated and
protected from the storms of criti-
cal social protest, or is to become
an active participant in the rebirth
and development of a more hu-
manistic society, sensitive to the
needs of the people it serves, both
on and off campus." Vice Chancel-
lor R<^)bert Gage, quoted in the
1971/ndex:, p. 101.
(Continuing in relation to the
Indochina war) "Almost daUy we
see that support for it is based
upon blind defense of false values
and an incredible inability to
share information and aspirations
openly, honestly, and without dis-
tortion." ibid
The Student Organizing Project
was founded in the spring of 1974
with the goal of establishing a union
for students at UMass/Amherst. Be-
cause the concept of a student union
was a new one in this country, the
first months of the Project's existence
were spent researching the feasibility
and legality of such an undertaking.
Most of its energies were devoted to
the development of issues and the es-
tablishment of component parts of
the union during the fail semester of
1974, and in the spring of 1975 focus
shifted to acquainting students tvith
the effects of state and universitv at
tioils on the future or the Univeisitv
\ and the relevance of collective bar
: gaining to these issues.
The Project is funded out of stu
dent activities monies and is over
seen b\ a standing committee of t
Student Senate. The Student Org
izmg Committee is composed of n
I presentatives from the student sen-
jate, the area governments, the cam-
I pus media, SGA officers, and mter-
iested students. The Committee la
^ charged w?ith supervising the Project >
staff of full- and part-time organ izeis
[ and coordinating the unionization
drive.
i Among the actions of the Project
: during 1974-75 were: conducting
I training sessions for organizers dur-
I ing summer session and intersession,
I development of a collective bargain-
ing policy for students, a set of hear-
ings on on- and ofl -campus housing
conditions, assisting m setting uj)
food stamp program tor students o
campus, and acting as an «.i'f..:>.
for students whenever sa
was needed.
In addition, the Student Organiz-
ing Project was instrumental in the
founding of the Union of Student
Employees, a labor union to protect
student workers from exploitation by
the University. It also helped set up
the second all-student credit union in
the country as well as a stereo and
record co-op and a motorcycle co-op.
At the start of spring semester the
Project published the Whole Univer-
sity Catalog, a guide to educational
alternatives at the University.
Through the Financial Rights Or-
ganization, the Student Organizing
Project provided counseling and ad-
vocacy for students who found them-
selves in danger of being forced out of
college by rising educational costs,
and printed the Student Guide to
Economic Survival, a handbook on
financial aid problems for students.
In the spri-ng of 1975, the Project
introduced a collective bargaining
proposal through the SGA for referal
to the trustees This proposed change
in the University reg-ulations would
provide students with the right to
bargain collectively over issues that
concern them
While this first attempt at estab
lishmg a student union will not TCfl< n

1975 academic vear there is 'i

For Roister Doister this has been a year of experimen-
tation, a year of change, and yet, a year upholding tra-
dition.
1^ For only the second time in its 65 year history, Roister
Doisters Drama Society has presented three separate
productions during the course of one school year. This
?. year the group has presented "The Martyrdom of Peter
^ Ohey" in October 1974, "Adaptation/Next" in January-
February 1975, and an original musical, "Dickie the
Dam and the Big Blue River" in May 1975. In present-
ing "Dickie the Dam" itself, the Society has upheld a
tradition of presenting original works by students, fa-
culty or alumni of the university. While Roister Doister
does not generally present musical, they have done so in
I the past.
Roister Doisters Drama Society is an RSO student
group formed in 1910. Prior to that, dramatic presenta-
tions had been class affairs and had not represented the
whole college. One night in January 1910, a group of
men banded together in the chapel to form the coUege
dramatic group, "Massachusetts Agriculural College
Dramatic Society." The following year the name was
changed to its present one, after the title of the first
English comedy, "Ralph Roister Doister" — the words
"roister doister" meaning "rough necks".
The group presented its first show in 1911, a three act
farcial comedy entitled, "The Private Secretary".
Through 1920 the group continued to present largely
farces and once, Shakespeare's "The Comedy of Er-
rors," since there were still only men attending the
school and they portrayed the women's roles. Augustus
Thomas' "The Witching Hour" presented in 1920 be-
came the first show to use women in the women's parts,
allowing the group to expand to other dramatic forms
other than farces. Since 1920 the group has presented a
wide diversity of shows, from comedies such as "Our
Town" (1939), "Teahouse of the August Moon" (1957),
and "Barefoot in the Park" (1968) to dramas such as
"The Crucible" (in 1956 and 1973), and "Look
Homeward Angel" (1960) to seven of Shakespeare's
> plays, including "Macbeth" (1929) and "Othello"
(1936).
Among their shows have been original works written
by students, faculty, or alumni of the university since
1913 when they presented an original farce called "What
Happened to Jones". The group has also premiered nu-
merous dramas written by Frank Prentice Rand when he
was Director for the Society. They have performed in a
variety of locations — Bowker Auditorium, Hampden
y^niri^ rVrn irons, and on top of the Campus Center
^^pr most recent productions have been

"Waiting for Godot" in 1970, "Chronicles of Hell" in
1971, and "Five-Way Overlay" in 1974.
Roister Doister has the ability to present as many
shows as its members and the public wish to support.
This year the enthusiasm to present more than the re-
cent traditions's one show per year, culminated in three
productions, all directed, staffed and performed by stu-
dents of UMass.
The first play, "The Martydom of Peter Obey" by
Slawomir Mrozek was presented October 23-26 in
Hampden Dining Commons. The story of one man and
his family who one day awake to find a tiger living in
their bathroom, was complete with jugglers, acrobats
and clowns, plus other members of a circus ensemble.
"Adaptation/Next", presented January 30, 31 and Fe-
bruary 1 in Bowker Auditorium, was an Off-Broadway
hit comedy. The show consists of two one-act comedies,
"Adaptation" by Elaine May and "Next" by Terrence
McNally. "Adaptation" is the story of a television game
show and one of its contestants who must re-live a per-
son's life from birth through death during the course of
the show. "Next" is the story of a 45 year old man who
is drafted and receives his physical at the mercy of sm
lady sergeant who will not listen to his complaints. m
Unfortunately, the day before opening. Roister Bols-
ters found it would not be able to present "Next". This
play has only two characters in its plot. The day prior
to the opening, the actor performing the draftee, slipped
on ice and broke his ankle, becoming unable to walk or
perform. It had been hoped that "Next" would be pre-
sented a little later in the semester, but that never ma-a
terialized due to other conflicts. m
"Dickie the Dam and the Big Blue River" rounded'
out the year for Roister Doisters May 1-3 in Bartlett
Auditorium. An original "masonary" musical by T.|
Dunning Keegan, the play is the story of a dam iiil
search of a river. It tells a story of power and nature.^"'
While there was a written script prior to rehearsals, the
play was developed to its final state through improvisa-
tions. And UMass wiU not be its only performance loca-
tion. In June this year the musical will be presented for
for children at the Boston Music Hall, as part of the
activities sponsored by one of the candidates running for
mayor of Boston.
A year of experiments, problems, change and tradi-
tion, 1975 was a year of a new step in a new direction for
Roister Doisters Drama Society, a new step towards
more productions to provide more opportunities for an-
yone in the Five College community who may be inter-
ested in participating in a show in any capacity.

Upon arrival at the campus of Massa-
chusetts Agricultural College in Oc-
tober, 1867, the thirty-four freshmen of
the Pioneer Class were promptly in-
formed of the rules and regulations. One
requirement was manual labor without
pay. Those who wished could collect
12 '/2 cents an hour for overtime and the
person who earned the most money was
adjudged the best scholar in the class.
Another requirement was attendance
at Sunday worship. The class was
marched in a column to the old Amherst
College chapel where they were ushered
into the gallery.
Led by a pair of rebels, William H.
Bowker and William Wheeler, both of
whom later became trustees of the col-
lege, the members of the Pioneer Class
went on strike to protest these two re-
quirements. On the first occasion, they
refused to march to the Amherst College
chapel on a morning when the thermo-
meter stood at 100 degrees in the shade,
and later they staged a mass protest
against involuntary manual labor. Hap-
pily, cool heads prevailed and both
uprisings were settled by diplomatic
and friendly compromise measures. The
Almighty was properly acknowledged
and the task of improving the campus
did not grind to a halt.
Members of the Pioneer Class had no
quarrel with religion in an academic
setting, only with the manner in which
it was presented. Of newly elected
Henry W. Parker from Iowa College,
professor of mental, moral and social
science, and college preacher the 1870
INDEX said: "We welcomed with joy
the advent of our new professor in
science, and chaplain whom we could
call our own."
Evidences of concern for religion on
the campus — though changing in form
and expression — began early and con-
tinue to the present.
In 1884, at a cost of $31,000, a build-
ing of granite quarried in Pelham was
constructed to house the chapel and the
jibrary. A year later, a tower with its
familiar clock was added. It was con-
sidered the finest building on the cam-
pus. Now it is dwarfed by the adjacent
26 story library and no longer serves any
ecclesiastical function, but its deep-
toned bell tolls the hours just as it did
nearly a century ago.
When the college population outgrew
the chapel seating capacity, services
were transferred to Bowker auditorium
in Stockbridge Hall, built in 1915. Con-
cerning this era, a member of the class
of '26, a star athlete in college and now
a retired doctor, reports that chapel at-
tendance was required three mornings a
week and once a month on Sundays. He
does not recall enjoying chapel — ex-
cept once, when a trombonist from Paul
Whiteman's famous jazz band "played
the most beautiful solo I have ever
heard."
A member of the wartime class of '43,
currently on the faculty, had this to say:
"Chapel attendance was not required in
my day but the second floor auditorium
of the Old Chapel was used for vesper
services every Sunday — it was a good
place to take a date."
Piety and romance have long been
congenial companions and, in this in-
stance, the economic factor played a fa-
miliar undergraduate role.
None of the students interviewed for
this article has ever been inside the old
chapel. If they were to go, they would
find no vespers in the bare, stripped-
down, unattractive interior of the sec-
ond floor now used only by the band to
practice.
Umies can now be found attending
church services of the major denomina-
tions on and near the campus, but more
are apt to go when they return to their
homes. Some attend because they really
want to, but more go chiefly to please
their families.
Religion might be a "stabilizing in-
fluence"; it might "bring comfort" to
those who need it; it is a laudable "iden-
tification with the past"; but it is best
expressed and fulfilled in "good works
and good living".
Students at M.A.C. in the earlier de-
cades would have agreed with this point
of view. In the 1870's, they formed the
College Christian Union and in the 80's,
the YMCA to promote worthwhile acti-
vities and good deeds on and off :the=
campus. Conventional religious meet-
ings were losing what little popularity
they ever enjoyed. When the faculty in
1899 favored making chapel attendance
voluntary, "Aggie Life" applauded with
the comments, "a step from the dark
ages . . . compulsory chapel smacks too
much of medievalism."
The re-institution of involuntary at-
tendance at divine worship — even if
there were a structure large enough to,
house such a huge congregation —
would be unthinkable and unacceptable
to students now on campus. Opposed,
as they surely are, to compulsory reli-
gious observances and indifferent, as
they seem to be, to organized and con-
ventional recognition of the Divine in-
vinveriieht in the affairs and destiny of
humanity, today's student — like his
predecessor — does not categorically
deny affirmations of faith. He, or she,
simply wants the perfectly reasonable
option of making a personal, uncoerced
decision about participation in such
matters.
When the question of opening the
sessions of Congress with prayer to God
was being debated at the Constitutional
Convention in 1781, Benjamin Franklin
— certainly no great churchman —
asked, "If a sparrow cannot fall to the
ground without His notice, can a nation
rise to greatness without his help?"
The heads of many students on cam-
pus might well be imagined nodding as-
sent to the implications of Franklin's
question — both then and now.
Likewise, concensus among students
on campus strongly suggests that sin-
cere religious convictions are best au-
thenticated by good deeds and honest
living — both then and now.

Gilbert and Sullivan's "Pirates
of Penzance" . . . four perfor-
mances ... 2,700 total attendance
5,200 in ticket sales ... a
$2,800 profit . . . there's no way
the University of Massachusetts
Music Theatre Guild is dead!
Yet, when the Guild lost all
funding in April 1974 and the core
group 6f students who had run the
organization for several years gra-
duated or moved away, some peo-
ple thought that was the end.
UMass Music Theatre Guild is a
student group, unaffiliated with
the Theatre Department. It is
open for membership and partici-
pation in its productions from an-
yone in the Five College Commun-
ity. In existence for 39 years, the
Guild has presented 53 produc-
tions — 49 different shows and
four repeats of favorites (Gilbert
and Sullivan's "The Mikado" in
1939 and 1944, "Guys and Dolls"
in 1962 and 1969, "The Three
Penny Opera" in 1963 and 1971,
"Pirates of Penzance" in 1942 and
1975).
Among these 53 shows. Music
Theatre Guild has presented five
collegiate world premiers of Broad-
way hits — "Brigadoon" in 1951,
"The Vagabond King" in 1953,
"Carousel" in 1954, "South Paci-
fic" in 1956, and "Pipe Dream" in
1958. The Guild, in conjunction
with the University Choral, has
produced one world amateur (as
well as world collegiate) premier
— Kurt Weill's "Lost in the
Stars" in 1953. And in 1960, Buffy
St. Marie starred in an original
musical, "Thunder in the Hills",
performed by the Guild while she
was a student at UMass.
Music Theatre Guild thus has a
rich history dating back to 1936
when the Men's and Women's
Glee Clubs and the Orchestra un-
ited to present Gilbert and Sulli-
van's "Trial by Jury". This began
an eight year tradition of the pre-
sentation of William S. Gilbert
and Arthur Sullivan operettas by
the groups. With the production of
Humperdi-ck's "Hansel and Gre-
»' ir. If) I I !' combined groups
!®W<SV v®l«iS^ <yi©l'»®V <v®i")®v <v!®M(sV v®MS5n
began presenting works by other
composers.
"The Red Mill", performed by
the groups in 1947, became the
first time a Broadway show had
ever been brought to this area by
an amateur company. Following
its tremendous success, an official
student group, the Operetta Guild,
was formed. The group existed
under this name until about 1971
when the title was changed to the
University of Massachusetts Mu-
sic Theatre Guild.
With Cole Porter's "Anything
Goes" in 1948, the Operetta Guild
began producing the modern mu-
sicals which have largely charac-
terized its existence since. From
1936 to 1963, Operetta Guild's
advisor and director of its produc-
tions was Doric Alviani of the Mu-
sic Department. It was Alviani
who kept abreast of which Broad-
way shows were soon to be released
for amateur performances and six
times snatched the first collegiate
rights for the Operetta Guild in
the 1950's.
In the 1950's the Guild also bgg.
Niipnm^i||iPPlP|pil
gan doing off-campus perfor^
mances sponsored by area alumni
groups, such as the UMass Berk-
shire Alumni or the Franklin
County or Springfield Alumni.
Money earned by these perfor-
mances went towards scholarships
for UMass Students from these
areas. Shows performed during the
1950's and 1960's included "The
Student Prince" (1952), "Damn
Yankees" (1959), "The Music
Man" (1963), "Kiss Me Kate"
(1965), and "Annie Get Your Gun"
(1968).
Through mid-1969. Operetta
Guild was a recognized Student
Organization, under the jurisdic-
tion of the Student Senate. Alth-
ough its shows were generally well
received by their audiences, at
times they were great successes,
profitwise, and at times they wer-
en't. In the 1960's, Operetta Guild
gradually fell into debt until 1969
when the UMass Fine Arts Council
decided to help the group out by
financing their productions. "Guys
and Dolls", presented in the fall of
1969 was the first show performed
under the auspices of the Fine Arts
Council. The Operetta Guild con-
tinued to receive funding for four
years, through its recent produc-
tions which 1975 graduates will re-
member, "Stop the World, I Want
to Get Off in the fall of 1971 and
"Lock Up Your Daughters",
"Company" and "Dames at Sea"
in April of 1972, 1973, and 1974,
respectively.
J In the Spring 1974, faced with a

limited amount of funds, the Fine
Arts Council had to cut back on
the number of programs which
they could support in the upcom-
ing year. The Fine Arts Council
told Music Theater Guild officers
it no longer would be able to fin-
ance its productions. On the aver-
age, the Council had provided
about $3,000 for each show and
lost about $1,000 on each. At this
time the Guild used to pay salaries
to those people who held impor-
tant production staff positions on
a particular show, such as Direc-
tor, Musical Director, Set, Light-
ing and Costume Designers, etc.
While its shows earned about
$2,000 in ticket sales, the Guild
never earned enough money to
cover the estimated $1,100 worth
of salaries given which was what
the Fine Arts Council lost each
year. Had the salaries not been gi-
ven, the Guild, on the average,
would have either broken even or
shown profit for its shows. How-
ever, this wasn't the case and the
Council rightfully told Music
Theater Guild it could no longer
sustain such a continuing loss.
Faced with no funding prospects
and the graduation in 1974 of
many people who had been core
leaders of the Guild, a couple of
members were determined not to
let Music Theater Guild die. New
members were recruited, new of-
ficers elected, and last fall the
group again became a Recognized
Student Organization under the
Student Senati
tion was passed, including a provi-
sion for no more salaries to be paid
to anyone. Everyone working on
productions in any capacitie would
have to do so for their own inter-
ests, opportunities or to further
personal theater education — not
for money.
The group still needed to find
funding with which to present a
show and become financially inde-
pendent with the profits earned. A
proposal was drawn up and
members went to various campus
groups to seek loans with which to
fund a production this spring. Mu-
sic Theater Guild received a total
of $1,600 in loans from six campus
organizations which it gratefully
acknowledges — Central Area As-
sembly, Commuter Assembly,
Greek Council, Program Council,
Southwest Assembly, Sylvan As-
sembly, and UMass Arts Council.
With these loans as a base, the
Guild was able to obtain the rest of
the money which it needed
through anticipated ticket sales.
In 1975, the one hundreth anni-
versary of public performances of
Gilbert and Sullivan operettas.
Music Theater Guild decided to
present "Pirates of Penzance" for
a variety of reasons. The main
consideration was that there were
no royalties to be paid since the
operetta was written in the 1890's.
Also, the show requires a large cast
which would allow many people to
be involved with the production
and hopefully, the Guild itself, af-
terwards.
"Pirates of Penzance" was an
overwhelming success as the figure
stated earlier shows. In terms of
ticket sales, this show earned more
money than any production in the
Guild's history. All loans were
paid back and Music Theater
Guild earned enough to become a
financially self-supporting organi-
zation for the first time. The Guild
even received two donations of
$100 each while the production
was still in rehearsal stages. With
earnings, attendance and support
from students and community as
there has been this year, it appears
the gloomy days for UMass Music
Theater Guild are passed.

Fifteen thousand women go to the Everywoman's Center each year. What is it and why do they go? Local
groups began action on some of their, ideas in September 1972 at the University of Massachusetts with the
founding of the Everywoman's Center. People from Continuing Education, Provost's Office, Student
Affairs, and Administrative Services provoked this move in better opportunities for women. The Center's'
objective can be more precisely stated as: "We felt strongly that it must be our job to enable every woman
to fenter a community of support and encouragement; to challenge the foundations of sexism; to find
meaningful work." The structure of the Center consists of various work groups, each of which is self-
governed. The Center Group discusses those matters concerning everyone. The core of the Everywoman's
Center _is its work groups, because they are concerned with the needs of many of the women in the area.
These work groups have taken into consideration the needs of women and created programs meeting the
various needs. The Counseling Work Group consists of professional feminist counselors prepared to talk to
any woman with a problem concerning roles and society. They help women to feel their self-worth and not
to feel isolated from the world because they rejected the traditional role of women. The Counseling Group
does not concentrate solely on the personal growth of the individual, but also on educational and career
decision making. The Feminist Arts Program is a group of women determined to take action for the artistic
expressions of women. They are presently publishing a bi-annual arts publication. A play production,
poetry readings, a local women's art show, and the first National Woman's Poetry Festival in 1974 are some
of the results of the program's work. The Employment for Women Work Group is ultimately designed to
eliminate societal prejudices against the female. Specifically, they deal with work and educational prob-
lems. The Educational Alternatives Work Group is in response to the lack of educational course offerings
to the woman. They create programs to fulfill the women's educational needs. Project Self and Everywo-
man's Rhetoric are only two of these programs currently offeried through the Center.
The Poor Women's Task Force is designed to provide higher education for poor women who desire it. The
Work Group is attempting to provide these women with a better chance to continue their education. The
Center is trying to press the university and the welfare system into a greater awareness concerning the poor

After a long, hard struggle, stu-
dent/parents of North Village
Children's Center finally succeed-
ed in becoming part of the Univer-
sity Child Care System in Sep-
tember, 1974 — thinking that this
would mean somewhat smooth
sailing from thereon in. However,
they are finding that they are still
struggling and that in some ways
the road is rougher.
An interviewer asks the Center's
director, "How does it feel to final-
ly be a recognized part of the Uni-
versity?"
The director develops a con-
torted face.
"Well," she says, "if we weren't,
I wouldn't have to go to so many
meetings (frown). Do you know
that when we have a parents'
meeting here at the Center, what-
ever has to be decided, gets decid-
ed in ten minutes? At Whitmore,

ate'?"
"And the forms! You wouldn't
believe the forms! Fill out this. Fill
out that. And by the way the
deadline is 8 a.m. tomorrow.
Meanwhile, it's 5 o'clock tonight."
"Well, at least the Center is in a
better financial state now, isn't it?
"Well, it's better than it was.
But it's by no means as good as it
could be, or rather, ought to be.
Did you know the University of
Massachusetts has us budgeted for
rent next year? And Dr. Gage says
we won't be getting any more
money than we received this year.
Rent hasn't been an expense this
year. Meanwhile, the costs of sup-
plies and equipment are going up.
The price of food is going up. Par-
ent fees are going up. Everything
but UMass funds are going up!"
"I saw some ads up for a benefit
puppet show for the Center. Are
you trying to raise funds for next
year?"
"Next year! Are you kidding?
Try this summer!"
"You're not getting funded this
<Vi®W®V e<i®MSis9 V®W®S5 c*®*!®!^ <V®('I<S>,
summer?"
"Are you kidding? We're not
getting enough funds for next year,
never mind the summer! We're
raising it ourselves. The money,
that is. Maybe we'll even raise the
summer! As it is we're raising the
roof. No seriously, we've had tag
sales and bake sales and kids' art
sales. We're giving a puppet show
and holding a crafts auction, a
merchants auction and we've been
making proposals to just about
every organization we can think of.
Hey, can I put in a plug here?"
"Sure."
"Thank you members of the
Graduate Student Senate, the Ve-
terans' Coalition, the Commuter
Assembly, and maybe the Under-
graduate Student Senate, if they
help, too. So far we've received
$600 from the aforementioned."
"How much more do you have to
go?"
"Oh, about $800. We'll do it.
We're a very determined, high en-
ergy group, you know."

"I hear the Office for Commuter
Affairs will shortly be defunct.
Aren't you part of that office?"
"My, you're up on the latest
news on Day Care. Yes, we're
under that office. It's our um-
brella, being blown away, so to
speak. And we don't know what
office we'll be under next year.
Probably somewhere in Student
Affairs. By the way, no one in Stu-
dent Affairs wants us. We're push-
ing for an office directly under the
Chancellor. There are five child
care centers on campus. Six, if you
include Skinner, although that's a
lab school. And no office to man-
age them. What's really needed is
our own office with a coordinator
— someone to manage us all. But
I don't really want to talk about
this: I could go on and on. Would
you like to know something about
our program?"
"I have this program description
you gave me. Arrival — 8:30, Free
play — 8:45, Indoor work period —
9:00 ..."
"That's a description of a kind
of model day. We vary with moods
and interests to a certain degree. If
it's a beautiful day like today,
we'll go out and take a walk for
awhile. We also have a fair
amount of field trips. Sometimes
we even have movies."
"What is the school's philo-
sophy?"
"Why don't you ask me our ob-
jectives? Philosophy scares me.
The word, that is. Briefly, we
strive to encourage the children to
think positively, to respect them-
selves, to be creative, to be cur-
ious, to experiment, to cooperate.
You know, all the good things.
What we really have here is a lot
of parent involvement and con-
cern. Staff involvement and con-
cern. Lots of positive energy ever-
ywhere, lots of love. A real sense of
community. That is not to say we
don't have our problems. We do.
And we work on them."
"Well, listen, I have to go and
help prepare snack, (background
voices chorus, 'It's snack time!'
Children appear from every-
where.) Why don't you interview
Kiki, and get a child's opinion?"
"Hi!" says the interviewer.
"You come to school here a
don't you?"
"Yes," replies Kiki, age 3,
"Why?"
"Because on school d;
mother wants to take me here.'
"Do you like it here?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Because I like to play with the
children."
"What do you like to do here?"
"Make a picture for my mother
, . . pause . . . and cookies. I like to
make cookies."

How can you get cheaply priced
grains, fresh fruit and vegetables,
cheeses, milk, eggs, yogurt, bread,
canned goods, and dry goods?
While starting a farm of your own
might result in some of these, a
more feasible solution is to do your
shopping at the People's Market.
If you are stuck on campus and
must rely on campus food outlets,
if you are disgusted with the high
prices the local supermarkets are
charging, and if you would rather
see money going to students as op-
posed to large conglomerates, you
should check into People's Mar-
ket.
What makes People's Market so
special? It's a student-run cooper-
ative that is basically non-profit
id differs from the traditional
jerative because everyone in
le I'M s community is a
lember. it ; . !(>cated on the main
'•lion. There i
are thirteen paid student em-
ployees, each of whom is in charge
of a different department, along
with a coordinator (the only non-
student employee). There is no
hierarchy and decisions are made
collectively. Each person is re-
sponsible for ordering merchandise
for his department, but the pricing
and shelving is done collectively.
Ill r^i
Although they are paid, each con-
tributes much additional non-paid
working time. There are also some
volunteers. This year, the Agricul-
tural Fraternity, Alpha Zeta, in-
cluded as part of its pledge a pro-
mise that members would volun-
teer working time at the People's
Market. Volunteers are always
welcome since there is never lack
of work. The prices of the People's
Market are not as low as might
seem possible, since it orders
smaller quantities than do the lo-
cal supermarkets. Students don't
seem to be as apt to shoplift from
there as from supermarkets. In
fact, many contributions are made
to the "Munchy Box" when stu-
dents eat some nuts or grains while
they shop. A place that is so easily
accessible, has low prices, provides
satisfying work for some students,
and benefits the UMass commun-
ity should not be overlooked. m

A Doonesbury cartoon in the
Boston Globe illustrated perfectly
what most of the UMass commun-
ity knows about Asians. It showed
a foreign Chinese student eating
sukiyaki (a Japanese dish) in the
dining commons with a friend. An-
I other student sitting across from
them complimented the Chinese
student by saying, "Chinese are
great cooks. I love sukiyaki."
The reaction from the Chinese
student was, "Sukiyaki is Japan-
ese, not Chinese."
The American student replied
with a puzzled look, "Boy, the
Chinese are really good cooks. I
love sukiyaki."
The poor Chinese student bur-
ied his head in his hands in frus-
tration.
Probably every single Asian stu-
dent has had a similar experience.
Not only do Asians students feel
it, but Asian student groups feel it,
too. The Chinese Student Associa-
;tion, the Japan-America Club,
and the Asian-American Students
Association are all different groups
with different purposes. They are
not interchangeable!
The Chinese Student Associa-
tion was founded by foreign Chin-
ese students in 1964 to "encourage
and promote academic achieve-
ments and to harmonize social
lives on campus and in the com-
munity".
The CSA is mostly a social
group where Chinese foreign stu-
dents, a few Chinese-Americans
and other people interested in the
Chinese people and culture, can
(B5iy» v®f»l(sV "V^MSV s*®!'!®*.' <vi®W(©v v® WSVi «<«e)l»l(SV iv®l'K55\s c/®WSV v®l
get together for parties, picnics,
etc. The group sponsors events like
China Nite, movies about Taiwan
and Chinese traditions and the In-
ternational Fair. Most of their bu-
siness is conducted in Mandarin.
Sometimes English is used for
their meetings if there are enough
people present who do not speak
Mandarin.
The Japan-America Club did
not start with foreign Asian stu-
dents founding it, but with first-
year Japanese language students,
in 1972, who wanted an opportun-
ity to meet foreign Japanese stu-
dents. It is more academically
oriented than the Chinese Student
Association.
The goals of the Japan-America
Club include: "The promotion of a
cultural interchange between Ja-
pan and America; the organization
tries to provide extra-curricular
activities and study about Japan-
ese arts, traditions, culture, and
politics." Their business meetings
are conducted in English. The
Japan-America Club often spon-
sors Japanese movies on campus
and takes part in the International
Fair and similar events.
The Asian-American Students
Association was conceived by
Asian-American students in 1973
and immediately ran into prob-
lems. The Student Senate, along
with many on campus, appeared
to be very confused on the neces-
sity for an Asian-American group
focused on the needs of these stu-
dents when there were foreign
Asian groups liiie the two before-
mentioned.
The Asian-American Students
Association's goals are quite differ-
ent than the other groups: "to pro-
vide deeper understanding of cul-
tural aspects to the community; to
facilitate the development of
Asian-American studies; to strive
for an equal representation in stu-
dent government; to facilitate so-
cial activities within the Asian-
American community; to provide
a sense of unity."
The club is more "Asian in
America" oriented than either of
the other Asian groups and has
cooperated with WFCR and
WMUA to produce radio shows
about Asian Americans and Asian
immigrants, their history, and
continuing problems in American
society. It has parties, a newsletter
and cooperates with those who try ,
vi®("i©v 'vi®w(eV <v®M(s5v <yi®i«iS5y ivi®i«i®V
to recruit and/or understand Asian
students.
Relationships among the three
groups are loose, with the relation-
ship between the Chinese Student
Association and the Asian-
American Student Association
probably closer than between the
latter and the Japan -American
Club.
Of importance, not only to
Asian-American students at the
University, but to all Asian-
American students in New Eng-
land, was the Conference of New
England Asian -American Stu-
dents. The conference convened
from December 4 to December 8,
1974, and was held in the Five Col-
lege Community. This was the
first conference involving Asian -
American student concerns ever to
be held in Western Massachusetts.
The life of Asian-American com-
munities like Boston's and New
York's Chinatowns and the lives
and concerns of Asian-American
students, though isolated, and in
many regards, insulated from one
another, are simply different levels
of what can be termed, a common
Asian-American experience. For
what unites them is ultimately
more real than what seemingly
sets them apart, the fact that both
groups as Asian-Americans have
been forced to endure their roles in
the drama which is the American
racial experience, means more by
the time they sit with each other,
than their particular station and
style of life. This question of a
common experience, whether ex-
perience, which is largely a private
and speechless affair, can in any
way be called common — in any
sense of the word — leads even-
tually into an examination of the
history of Asians in America.
One has only to open the door to
Asian- American history before one
is made aware of the unknown
thousands dead, of the forgotten
Chinese and Japanese and Korean
and Filipino immigrants who
came here believing that America
would embrace their huddled
masses and allow them to breathe
free. Instead, what awaited them
was the exploitation of their labor
by those who called it cheap, while
using it to build the western rail-
ways of this country; debasement
of their humanity by those who
called it heathen, in order to feed
political sentiment of the times;
finally, their eventual exclusion
from, and by, a country without a
conscience, who to this day would
judge them foreign. The wartime
incarceration of 110,000 Japanese
Americans, two thirds of whom
were American born, but neverth-
eless were seen as the enemy, firm-
ly attests to this bitter truth, mm
The Asian-American student|H
who stands isolated in his environ- '
ment of the mind, as well as the
Asian- American who stands equal- ;|a
ly isolated — and powerless — ^wk
the world which is the Asian com- '
munity, share the history of gener-
ations before them, the struggle to
have their roots and their voices
accepted ^ as Native. The crisis
of Identity and the struggle for
Human Rights are different levels
of the same pursuit; begun over
one hundred and twenty-five years
ago, it is based on a Vision of a
better world, that, for better or
worse, is rooted hopelessly in
America. This vision sees a day
when the entire drama of racism in
America stands of its final curtain;
for then, as now, no one in Amer-
ica escapes its effects and everyone
in America needs to bear some re-
sponsibility for seeing that things
turn out alright in the end.
The Conference of New England
Asian-American Students enabled
the conference participants to dis-
cuss problems facing Asian-
American students, as well as
members of society and come to
some conclusions concerning their
lives in America.

In this realistic world, man can-
not live by himself alone. He needs
company that he can depend on.
He needs friends that will share
j his joys and sorrows. It is one's
friends' existence that make one
feel secure. If you do not believe it,
just try to imagine the stress and
psychological terror that one will
experience when one's friends dis-
appear one by one until one is all
alone.

; From May 1-4, Peoples Libera-
I tion Week was presented to the
j, Community. Yet PLW was really
I an organizing process which repre-
l sented months of work and in-
volved many people. The "PLW"
' idea first came about as a response
to the need for a time, place and
process whereby people involved
I in different aspects of the progres-
; sive movement could come to-
gether and share in their work and
accomplishments.
It was perhaps particularly ap-
propriate that PLW should take
j place in Southwest as it reflected
[ the stated goals of that Residential
I College in terms of combatting
i various forms of oppression. Peo-
j" pies Liberation Week was not so
■ much a model for social change
but rather it was meant to exem-
plify the necessary prerequisite for
any such model or effective acti-
vity, addressing itself primarily to
1 the following:
I — Lack of cormnunication and/or
sense of unity at a time when it is
^ ,.pmcjial that we join forces in the
l(S5v> ivi®l«)(SV ':i<®HISXs» Me)W®y» v®I»l©s» e/®W®0
struggle to combat poverty, exploi-
tation, racism, national chauvin-
ism, political and cultural repres-
sion, and imperialism.
— Need for universal education,
pride and respect in/for the var-
ious cultural roots of the people —
all peoples — living in North
America.
— Imperative: an international
perspective — the building of in-
ternationalist attitude and state of
mind with regard to the struggles
of the world's peoples for freedom,
self-determination, justice and
equality.
— That people begin to make the
connections with what's really
happening around us and in our
world: Attica is all of us, Chile is
all of us, Vietnam is all of us ...
the oppression of any person or
peoples is for all of us to struggle
against.
Peoples Liberation Week in-
volved art, dance performances,
films, thirty workshops ranging
from "Organizing the Unem-
ployed" to "Third World Youth
e^iSX'lSM Vi®W®V> iV®M®S» e.(i®l>lSV <V®W(sS!
and the Juvenile Justice System"
to "Asian Nations" to "Student
Unionization" to "The Revolu-
tionary Struggle in Chile" to^
"African Liberation" and man:^B
more. The many speakers included
Attica Brother Big Black, Dennis
Cassin of the Official Irish Repub-
lican Army and Nguyen Huu An
from the liberated Republic of
Vietnam. There were poetry read-
ings, slide shows, a benefit for U.S.
political prisoners, a lot of music,
a tribute to International Workers
Day, and Expo-Cuba, an exhibit.
Peoples Liberation Week was in-
tended to foster increased com-
munication, mutual respect, and
appreciation for cultural and ra-
cial identity and to share with the
community the humanitarian and
revolutionary achievements of the
people — a collective statement of
our community reflecting the
strength, beauty, and unity which
emanate from the ongoing and
world-wide struggles for the libera-
tion from oppression of any people
by another.

A new breed of heroes emerged from
the Watergate era, the investigative
reporter.
So Seymour Hersh, the famed Pu-
Htzer Prize reporter for the New York
Times, was a fitting person to lecture
as the year's first distinguished
speaker of the Distinguished Visitors
Program (DVP).
Hersh is probably best known by the
public for uncovering the unauthorized
! bombing of North Vietnam and the
My Lai Massacre. But Si Hersh is no
7-day wonder Jimmy Olsen. His peers
■ '^ 'm as the best investigative re-
man who sniffs out stories
)icanny instinct and follows
i hruugh to the end with good-
t Miu I ■ ■•.'ni hard work.
E "It is a ; Tific power we reporters
r Ko,,r. " ; , , ! ^. r^rowd in the Cam-
im. "In one story
But Hersh hinted that the press
does not destroy enough. "I still want
to know what happened in the oil cri-
sis. The press really blew it."
But the front page story in early
September was not the oil crisis,
rather the pardoning of former Presi-
dent Richard Nixon by President Ger-
ald Ford. Hersh said Ford's actions
were politically motivated, a "shrewd
move". Said the Washington reporter,
"He was going to do it eventually,"
and "I don't think it will be a factor in
the elections this year and that is what
he wanted."
There were, of course, many Water-
gate questions from the audience. "My
version of Watergate," he said, "is to
be skeptical of everyone in power . . .
Watergate is a fun story."
Hersh, actually was a last-minute
fill-in for Washington Post reporter
Carl Bernstein, one half of the famous
Woodward and Bernstein duo. Unlike
that pair, Hersh said, he is troubi^
"about writing things about Grar
Juries."
Unknown to his audience, Hersh, ai
that moment, already knew of tt^
CIA's cloak and dagger affair involving
the recovery attempt of the sunken
Russian sub. He did not file the story
then because, he later said, his infor-
mation was somewhat skimpy and he
did not want to interfere with what the
big brass in Washington told him was
an operation very important to the na,- ,
tion's security. M
The Los Angeles Times broke tl^
story a few months later, with many
inaccuracies. But Si Hersh filed the
most accurate account of the episode,
further winning the admiration of his
colleagues.
From political reporting to cartoons.
In early October, before a packed
audience, National Lampoon Cartoon-
ist Vaughn Bode gave a "cartoon Con-
o ^ \ tolt . .1 ./ / * ^
(L.^au6Ht»'^opiE*-.J).

: cert" and slide show as the next DVP
lecturer.
Bode had earlier told Collegian car-
toonists Kris Jackson and Don
McGilvray that this is the Bronze age
of comics and that the Golden Age
would arrive in another 10 years.
On his cartooning approach, Bode
said: "I invented a new cartooning for-
mat which I tried to get patented in
which the balloons are completely out-
side the panels. I got all these balloons
and panels printed up and I just pull
them out of my big box. First, I write
out the script, then I write the dialo-
gue in the balloons, then I do the
sketches in the panels themselves and
I do them one at a time so that I don't
get distracted by the panel beside the
one I am working on."
"Then I past all the balloons and
panels down on a light board and lay a
sheet of three-ply Strathmore board
over it, and the light coming up
through casts a shadow which I just
trace over with my felt-tips. I've used
nothing but felt-tip markers, by the
way, since 1966, although I use a ra-
pidograph for touching up."
For Bode, as with many other DVP
lecturers, there was an interview on
the campus radio station, WMUA. "I
just want to say," said an early caller,
"that little story you read on the air a_
few minutes ago was as sexist as HellM|
Answered Bode, "Well look, I gotta
be me." In the background Mcgilvray
and Jackson started singing the chorus
to "Fve gotta be me."
Bode was in Umieland.
Angela Davis was the highlight of
the year. Outside the Student Union
Ballroom students were tightly packed
waiting to hear Angela Davis and her
speech entitled "What is Socialism?'
The doors did not open until a short
while before Davis took the podium:
security was tight and the police
wanted no lunatics planting bombs in
the Ballroom.
"Racism is built into the capitalist
system," she said. "We need a real
movement. A movement where White
■v®*!®)^ v^i'i®v vi®(>)<SSiy» vi^MSM iviteJWSV
People must understand that
they must stand with and behind
Black workers. Beating racism is a
precondition for Socialism in t]
country."
Davis, a former philosophy de
partment faculty member at
UCLA, said that Socialism is not
just a set of theories that were de-
veloped by Marx and Lenin, but
that Socialism is real and con-
crete. "Socialism is free education.
It is not having to pay $4,000 a
year just because .you want to
learn. Socialism is not having to
worry about how I'm going to pay
the doctor before you go to the ho-
spital. Socialism is free child care.
Not only universal child care, but
free child care because under So-
cialism the society itself feels re-
sponsible for the development of
human beings there and the care
of children there. " ^
"It is society's, it is all of ou^
responsibility to see that our chil-
dren are able to grow up in a clean
and healthy environment. That's
what Socialism is all about. Socia-
lism is not unemployment! You
talk about the inflationary spiral
in this country. There's not only
inflation here, but there's inflation
-in West Germany, Italy, France
t and in Switzerland."
Davis praised the Soviet Union
^and Cuba. "In Cuba they have
these mansions where the rich
used to live. After the revolution
when the rich fled, these mansions
were converted into dormitories for
students, hospitals, and day-care
centers . . . The CIA invaded Cuba
and the people of Cuba defeated
them."
She said families like the Rock-
efellers are, more than anyone else
in history, responsible for misery
and death. "No family should be
allowed to capitalize on such
wealth."
More than 1500 students heard
Davis say that something is wrong
in the U.S. "Just last week in Los
Angeles 420,000 gallons of milk
Ifcvas dumped down the sewer . . .
But then if you go to the Black
.'community of Los Angeles, or you
go into East Los Angeles into the
Chicane community, you will see
children, you will see babies that
®S9 <V®M(9V <i^W(S^ MSWSVV V^lll(9V> V!tS)IKl®V>
do not have enough milk, who do
not have enough food, yet the
dairy industry dumps 420,000 gal-
lons of milk up. That could not
happen in Cuba, because that
could not happen with Socialism."
Reaction from students, as with
most issues, was mixed. Some
e<®W(3!!s» vi®W®5iy9 iV®W®5!y» 'VifSWSV' <Vi©W(S5\5
complained she overlooked the
evils in Cuba and the Soviet Un-
ion, painting a distorted picture.
Others countered saying that the
American press has not given a
true picture of life under Socia-
lism.
Whatever their political views.
most agreed that Angela Davis is
an extraordinary individual.
If you had to make a list of three
people most identified with the
anti- Vietnam war movement,
Daniel EUsberg would probably be
on it.
So it was no surprise that he,
like Angela Davis, drew a heavy
crowd when he spoke here in early
November. "The illegal acts of the
Nixon Administration to cover up
the war is what brought the Nixon
Administration down," he said.
Ellsberg, who was responsible
for releasing the Pentagon Papers
in 1971 but later acquitted when
the government illegally broke into
his psychiatrist's office, said
antiwar demonstrations saved
hundreds of thousands of lives.
He compared the Pentagon
Papers to the White House Water-
gate tapes saying "In both cases,
the Pentagon Papers and the
Tapes, what you saw were people
conspiring and people planning
lies." He had said at an earlier
press conference that "the public
I is now demanding more informa-
i tion from their congressmen and
■ this is healthy for a democracy.
Watergate lowered the public's to-
lerance for lying."
He closed his speech with a bit
of accurate prophecy: "The chance
of ending this war right now is bet-
ter than it was before. Watergate
and the economy has made foreign
aid to Vietnam more vulnerable in
Congress."
Ellsberg left the Student Union
Ballroom to a standing ovation
from the capacity crowd.
The plight of the American In-
dian is a top concern for many stu-
dents here. So many students were
on hand to hear Dennis Banks, a
leader of the American Indian Mo-
vement and Wounded Knee parti-
cipant.
"Wounded Knee will go down in
history as the most significant
event in Indian history," he told
the audience. "It is too late to turn
back now, and we can only push
forward by whatever means neces-
sary. To do less would mean 200
more years of poverty, lies, depri-
vation and misery."
Banks said the failure to honor
"every treaty" can only result in a
major war between Indians and
the U.S. government.
Since 1832 when American In-
dians were in control of 105 million
acres of land, he said, 55 million
acres have been taken from them.
"The time for the American go-
vernment to recognize and honor
its treaties with Indian people is
iisV v®(<i®v «<i©i»i®J<.» vi®w(av 'y®w®Jy> «/®w©i.
long overdue."
He said all of the basic human
rights guaranteed in the Constitu-
tion have been denied to Indians.
Putting together a group of dis-
tinguished speakers is no easy
matter, says publicity chairperson
Barbara Sobocinski, '75. The 20 or
so students working for DVP first
solicit suggestions from the stu-
dent body and try to personally
contact every suggested speaker.
The group, she says, then selects
those persons they wish to speak.
"This was a political year for us,"
Sobocinski says. "Alot of people
were available."
She says the committee tries to
choose a politically well-rounded
group of speakers. Some students,
however, complained that the
speakers were all left-wing. Sobo-
cinski says this is so because the
majority of students here are left-
wing.
When a speaker is contracted, it
is for one full day. Press confer-
ences are scheduled with the var-
ious media on campus, classes
with the guest speaker are ar-
ranged, and hopefully the speakers
wiU eat with the students, (only
Dennis Banks refused this, Sobo-
cinski said).
Each student contributes about
$1.50 to the DVP at the start of
each year through the activity tax.
This year's highest paid speaker,
Sobocinski said, was Angella Da-
vis who earned $2,500.

The Ahora organization was the
sponsor of the Latin American
week that took place on the Uni-
versity of Massachusetts' campus
between March 14 and March 19.
The idea of a close solidarity
among our Latin American coun-
tries was the originating force, (as
we have one struggle in common:
to liberate ourselves from North
American imperialism and reaf-
firm our cultural identities against
foreign invasion). Although the
Ahora organization is mainly com-
posed of Puerto Rican students,
there are other students from dif-
ferent countries in Latin America
and we wanted to emphasize the
common cultural bond in our
iM®Sy> "v^MSV ivi?5)W(sV v®MSV =/®mS
day. Coral stressed how the Popu-
lar movements are being harassed
and terrorized by what he called
"a desperate form of repression"
from the "bourgeoisie." The na-
tional oligracphies in Latin Amer-
ica, backed by United States im-
perialism, have established forms
of repression against the growing
progressive movements. He em-
phasized the importance of the op-
pressed groups like the chicanos
and Puerto Rican as important
forces struggling within the United
States against a common enemy.
He was impressed with many of
these groups and their organiza-
tions fighting against both exploi-
tation and cultural assimilation.
Juan Carlos Coral finished his
speech with a note of optimism, as
he sees a struggle with dedicated
people and a weak system (capita-
lism) that does not convince any-
more.
If J '' ' ''" ii exposed the
*)M©y5 e.(i®M(sV' '!<!®W®V' 'V®W®iy5 <yi®e)^
Latin American reality as an op-1
pressed group of people struggling
for survival, in what could be
called a "political speech" — Er-
nesto Luis and Jose Nogueras, two
"can tores" from Puerto Rico — ex-
posed the same reality but this
time in the form of music. They
represent the new song, music that
is related directly to the social rea-
lity. They see themselves as
workers, (a Socialist concept),
workers that have a goal in life:
the resistance or fight against the
socio-economic cultural invasion
of yankee imperialism. The em-
phasis of these new singers is to
identify themselves with the socia-j
list struggle — to work for the peo J
pie and to represent their emotional
as oppressed human beings.
The Cuban docunientary, "Bay
of Pigs", came in the middle of the
Latin American week. With a su-
perb technique, the director, Her-
rera, was able to present us a do-
cumentary about the historical
event in Cuba when the United
States government, under the Pre-
sidency of John F. Keimedy, in-
^vaded the Bay of Pigs in a futile
intent to destroy the Revolution.
j "Como estas Puerto Rico?" in-
troduced the theatre genre. The
world that this theatre presented
to us was the one that is always
ignored because it raises problems

ploited and the elements that
make up that exploitation repre-
sented by the police, the lan-
downers, the politicians, an immi-
gration agent, etc. Guasahara, is a
student group from New York that
has decided to denounce the capi-
talist system in a spontaneous
form, where improvisation plays
the important role, and Vv/here the
goal is to arouse the people's cons-
cience against injustice and
repression.
Last but not least, the sympo-
sium on women that gave an end
to the cultural activities. The em-
phasis in this sjinposium was the
struggle of third world women
against the limitations imposed by
the system, not only against wo-
men, but against people in gen-
eral. The differences of women in a
sociahst society and a capitalist
one was given with Cuba as an s'
ample of women struggli;:;-

Hillel, the Jewish Student Or-
ganization on campus, has become
more beneficial to the UMass com-
munity, with the recent introduc-
tion of Saul Efriam Perimutter.
Rabbi Perimutter is a graduate of
the Reconstructionist Rabbinical
School in Philadelphia. Since last
September, he has been working in
conjunction with Hillel members,
and has started to bring about a
change in Hillel. He found it es-
sential to deal with students, not
in an official capacity, but as an
individual educated in Jewish af-
fairs and in dealing with people.
Saul, as hf! prefers to be called,
became a rabbi through his desire
to increase his Jewish knowledge.
He found, after spending a year in
Israel, that he wanted to learn
more about Judaism, which led to
his enrollment in rabbinical
school. He specifically chose the
Reconstructionist school because
he was impressed by the fact "that
they didn't lay anything on me I
didn't want, they were open and
realistic." While in school, he
served as youth director at Elkins
Park, a local temple, where he de-
cided he enjoyed informal dealings
with people, rather than surmon-
ing at them. "I didn't want to
work in any one synagogue move-
ment. Synagogues are valuable in-
stitutions, yet they can be a detri-
ment to Jewish society by separat-
ing Jews into Orthodox, Conserva-
tive and Reform congregations.
They institutionalize that separa-
tion, and I think we have much
more in common than the few
things that divide us. I would
rather work in a setting that is
open and equal to all Jews; Ortho-
dox, Atheist, Zionist or Bundist."
As rabbi and director of Hillel,
Saul sees his role as being respon-
sive to the needs of all students
interested in some aspect of Ju-
<>i®l"i®V <V®(«){2>V> V<®1«ISV c/JSUKSV <Vi®M®v
Pdaism. He finds the diversification
of his job most satisfying. "I really
enjoy my work because it allows
me to live Judaism as a whole way
^ of life. I don't view myself as the
(t rabbi of only those who pay Hillel
dues. My dealings involve me with
students from all religious back-
grounds."
The limitations which confront
him include the lack of time in
which to expand his activities and
partake in more functions outside
of Hillel. In his opinion, his time
does not allow him to deal adequa-
tely with the needs of 3,000 Jewish
people on campus, along with
<Me)PK9»i9 e«e»>ii9»k9 <!tneivK!>y!^
many non-Jewish people.
The Hillel rabbi is not a faculty
member. He is appointed by the
National B'nai Brith office in Wa-
shington, D.C., and is approved by
local Hillel members. His salary,
as well as that of his part time as-
sistant (Nancy Piccus), is paid by
the National foundation. Money
utilized in Hillel functions comes
from student dues, contributions,
and the local Jewish community.
Hillel was originally founded to
meet the needs of Jewish students
on college campuses. Named after
Rabbi Hillel of the Mishnah, who
was known for his gentleness, un-
derstanding and flexibility, the or-
ganization attempts to propagate
these ideals. M
Over the years, Hillel has ej^
panded to meet growing needs.
Under Saul's direction, many new
programs have been added to the
already existing ones, Hillel now
provides social, cultural, educa-
tional and religious programming,
as well as programs for the expan-
sion of Jewish awareness. Events
sponsored include film presenta-
tions, guest speakers, Judaic stu-
dies courses, and the establish-
ment of a kosher kitchen. Hillel
also maintains a lending library
which contains books on various
aspects of Judaism.
Saul's personality transcends
his job as a rabbi. He creates an
atmosphere of understanding. In
dealing with personal traumas, he
is sincerely intent on helping to
solve that person's problem. He is
approachable from many levels,
and is equallj' as giving. Whether
it is counseling, conducting ser-
vices, involvement with vital com-
munity issues, or just lending a
compassionate ear, Saul is quali-
fied in all these areas.
These are his strengths that give
him the impetus to carry out his
goal. This goal is in part an educa-
tion — to destroy the myth that
Hillel is only for certain Jews and
not for others, and to instruct
others that Hillel can in fact be
the key that unlocks the door to
understanding thems; ves, their
heritage, their jewishress, and the
realization of their ideals.

There are various misrepresen-
tation and falsifications concern-
ing the culture of African people.
Very few people have been fortun-
ate enough to acquire a realistic
knowledge of what it truly entails.
Kwaku Ananse's Web is a com-
pany recently established in Am-
herst with the purpose of commun-
icating the true culture of the Afri-
can people.
On April 13 it presented its first
function, "A Day of African Cul-
ture", at the New Africa House
Cultural Center. The day was offi-
cially opened by Chief Nana Ko-
bina Nkotska with the pouring of
libations to our ancestors, calling
for unity, fertility in woman and
potency in man. Brother Nkotska
then gave a talk on African Cul-
ture emphasizing the values inher-
ent in the culture.
The festivities continued with
music and dance by an African
Drum and Dance Ensemble from
New York City, while all enjoyed
;the array of African foods that
[were served. The day also marked
■ the opening of an exhibition of
^African crafts, clothing, musical
i instruments, and various other ar-
tifacts portraying the artistic
workmanship of the African peo-

WMUA, 91.1 in Amherst's radio
spectrum beams beyond the cam-
pus community. With 1,000 watts
of power, the listening area of the
tudent-operated radio station
anges from Southern Vermont to
Northern Connecticut, and
westward through the Berkshires.
However, it is the people that keep
WMUA going and make it the
great station it is.
"WMUA, in the past year has
expanded its news and public af-
fairs programming in order to be-
some a more responsive and reflec-
tive voiff- of both UMass and the
outsi''' Titles," said sta-
tion Manager Marc Berman. We
strive to present non racist and
non sexist programming both in
news and in music."
New public affairs programming
included a weekly prison show,
"Barbed Wire"; and the biweekly
"Pacifica," politically oriented do-
cumentaries.
This year there were more wo-
men announcers at WMUA than
ever before. "The Women's
Show," still produced weekly, at-
tempted to join progressive peo-
ple's music with relevant informa-
tion and interviews about people's
struggles for freedom. The pro-
gram was expanded this year and
presented some special features
with Robin Jacobsen as Women's
Affairs Director.
Continuing on the radio's log
were "Focus," a program centering
on local politics; "Off the Hook," a
talk show with guest commenta-
tors; "We the People," a feature
presenting people's struggles, and
"Gay Break," an indepth analysis
of the problems of gay people in
society.
Programs presenting a combina-
tion of music, news and public af-
fairs were "UJammaDrum," the

ject, featured daily; "The Latin
Show"; and "Zamir," an Israeli
broadcast.
Regularly featured programm-
ing included "Original Stardust,"
an old rock and roll show, pro-
duced by Steve Berkowitz; "Blues-
bag"; "Pioneer Valley Jamboree,"
country-western and bluegrass
music with producer Marc Ber-
man; "Jubilation Jazz"; and a
classical show.
New daily services to the public
were "High Tides," an astrological
forecast with Jeff Jawer; "Band-
board," a listing of musical enter-
tainment in the area; and "The
River Valley Almanac," a calendar
of events for the Pioneer Valley.
In addition to seven newscasts
per day was a weekly alternative
news feature, "The Sunday News
Collective." Exclusive interviews
with leaders of the American In-
dian Movement, Clyde Bellecourt
and Floyd Westerman, and other
special presentations and docu-
mentaries highlighted this show.
The public affairs and news
team at the station were awarded
the UPI's first prize for broadcast-
ing excellence in small station do-
cumentaries. "Breadbasket," is a
thirty-five minute recording about
the life of the grain belt farmer fo-
cusing on Lyndon, Kansas. The
documentary was written and pro-
duced by Marc Berman and Pro-
gram Director Scott Bacherman,
and narrated by Charles Pellett.
WMUA continued as the voice
of UMass sports under direc-
tion of Russ Small and Larry Con-
voy.
"People's tastes are changing,"
said Program Director, Scott Ba-
cherman, "and I only hope that
WMUA was able to stay at the for-
efront of the musical movement
not only in the Pioneer Valley but
in all of Western Mass."

It was finished. Running late, in
my usual style, I hurried to the office,
on edge, and more than a little ap-
prehensive about missing my first
deadline.
But she read it, smiled, and said it
was good. I walked away feeling im-
portant.
It was there, on page one, the next
day. I read it six times and stared at
the byline over and over. Even my
name was spelled right!
And so it was, the beginning of the_
end. I came down with a severe, in-
curable case of Collegian. My life has
never been the same.
What is this madness hidden under
the auspicious title of New England's
largest college daily? Nothing to
some, all to many, little to the indif-
ferent. More than anything, the Col-
legian is personahty. It is not a place
but a state of being.
Egos are built, demi-gods made.
The hours run late, days are long,
emotions high. Decisions, triumphs,
disappointments, and politicking are
the order of every day.
I laugh now at my days of awe-
struck naivete and marvel at how
anyone could be so foolishly drawn in
to the mysterious magic that lives
there.
The Collegian is classes skipped,
dinners forgotten, friends neglected.
It is being called at 9:00 a.m. to cover
a meeting in half an hour and chang-
ing your plans for every day to fit in
with your work there. It can control
you, and if you love it, you let it.
People are here doing a job, what-
ever their reasons. Some are here for
power, or prestige, others for a port-
folio and experience. I have yet to
discover why I'm here.
Come in, look around. A few type-
«^M@Sy>e.^Hi
writers work, the rest are for show.
Phones ring incessantly, left unans-
wered until the tenth ring. Tables are
cluttered with scraps of notes, heaps
of day-old newsprint, half-finished
Pepsis being used for ashtrays. Ever-
yone is busy looking official, pretend-
ing they know what's going on,
what's really happening.
Hyperbole? Perhaps. A world of
.pseudo-reality and semiprofes-
sionalism. The power of the press,
the impact on a university.
We are accused of many things;
bias, inaccuracy, inefficiency. Sure,
we make mistakes, we try not to. Dan
Rathers or David Brinkleys we're
not. We are students, our work bea
longs to the students. We try to ii||
form, show injustices, and call for ac^
tion when things are wrong. We are N
the medium and the message.
Insanity lives here to preserve our
sanity. Numerous parties are held in
honor of "getting away from the
paper," and being with our friends.
There's the catch, it doesn't happen
that way. Collegian people talk Col-
legian. The subject always comes up.
"Hey what did you think of that lead
on yesterday's rally story? Yeah, and
what was the outcome of that policy
decision at the last Board of Editors
meeting?" And so it goes.
A fast pace, vibrant people. New
ideas and always trying harder. Your
life is not your own. You hand it over
when you turn in your first story. Be-
cause you want to.
The Collegian. An intense, special
feeling. Wrap-around lives and con-
fused frustration. I wil\ remember it
as the single worst and best thing
that happened to me here. The very
best.
The 1974 Minuteman soccer team
had the most successful season in the
44 year history of the sport at UMass,
"We have one of the best teams that
UMass has had in soccer for a long
time," said Rufe before the regular
season began.
Coach Rufe's preseason statement
proved to be an accurate one as his
team, led by high scoring forward
Tom Coburn, went through their sea-
son winning eight games, losing three,
and tieing one.
Tom Coburn, Bob McChesney, Mo-
hammed Othman, and Tony King
were the leading scorers for the sea-
Forward Billy Belcher was also a
scoring threat and most of the season
he was the team's leading hustler.
On defense, Dean Lungu, Mike
Parsons, Danny Ouillette, and Jimmy
Vollinger were the key performers.
Marc Hanks played goal at the start
of the season while senior co-captain
Carl Vercollone was recovering from a
shoulder separation. Carl came back
later in the season to play a few fine
games. Back-up goalie, senior Paul Pe-
loquin played well when he was given
the time to play; when he wasn't
playing Paul was usually the loudest
voice on the bench, giving his team-
mates on the field lots of moral sup-
port. The kickers had their most im-
portant and toughest test of the year
against nationally third ranked Con-
necticut. The Huskies were the team
to beat if the UMass squad had any
hopes of winning the Yankee Confer-
ence crown, but, in their best played
game of the year, the Minutemen were
edged 1-0.
That heartbreaking loss had an ef-
fect on the Minutemen as they could
do no better than one win, one loss,
and one tie in the remaining games.
For the UMass Minuteman, 1974
started with hope and ended in humi-
liation.
Coming off a disappointing 6-5
year, when each week seemed to add
to the frustration of both fans and
players, the Minutemen entered the
1974 season with a number of nagging
questions.
For one thing, how would UMass
replace the gilt passing combination of
Piel Pennington to Tim Berra, not to
mention Berra's uncanny ability to
run back kickoffs for touchdowns?
For another, how would UMass im-
prove its terrible rushing offense
which gained only 749 yards in 1973?
These questions were partially ans-
wered in the 17-13 opening loss to Vil-
lanova.
Incredibly, UMass put together 223
yards rushing, led by sophomores
» "m
;ff»!«jlw>Wf».«£)«;)t««
;.*>«ft«>~»^>*«c-«**»t-.
Keith Lang and Rick Jessamy, who
proved in one game that UMass could
run.
But a sour note which probably
killed the UMass season occured only
11:10 into the season, when starting
quarterback Fred Kelliher, who a sea-
son earlier had been Pennington's sa-
vior on at least three occasions, separ-
ated his shoulder when he bootlegged
around right end.
I
Against Maine at Orono a week
later, the Minutemen anihilated the
Black Bears to the tune of 42-0 utiliz-
ing a bruising defense and opportun-
istic secondary headed by cornerback
John Van Buren, who picked off a la-
teral and rambled 80 yards to paydirt.
The key, offensively, was the inser-
tion of fullback Jim Torrance into the
UMass backfield. Torrance only
gained 60 yards in the game, but by
the end of the season he'd have ten
touchdowns and be the leading UMass
rusher.
No one knew much about Dart-
mouth, other than they were five-
straight times Ivy champs and that
coach Jake Crouthamel wouldn't let
UMass scouts into his scrimmages.
But when it was all over, UMass had
stunned everyone on their way to a
14-0 win, spearheaded by a ferocious
defense.
It was the game that changed peo-
ple's outlooks on the season, because
the way UMass was playing without
Ed McAleny, the all-star defensive
end, out for the year along with Kel-
liher there was hope.
But then there was Vermont, and to
put it frankly, the Minutemen stunk
the place out to the tune -of 25-14 for
Vermont.
It was a game in which complacency
on the part of UMass was evident
from the opening kickoff, and alth-
ough they stormed out to a 14-0 lead,
Vermont was hungrier and walked off
with what coach Carl Falivene called
"our biggest win in fifty years. "
A lackluster performance against
Boston University ended up in a 21-14
UMass win, but one could sense that
the Dartmouth spark was gone.
A week later, Brian MacNally, a
converted cornerback, quarterbacked
the team to a 17-7 win over Rhode
Island, in what was the team's best
performance since Dartmouth. Tor-
rance was immense, gaining 130 yards
and the UMass line was impregnable
against the eventual Yankee Confer-
ence rushing champion. Rich Remon-
dino.
Then came UConn, the game that
we all thought would decide the Yan-
kee Conference championship.
UMass went out to a 9-0 first half
lead, and lost McNally with a shoulder
separation, forcing Mark Tripucka to
take over the helm.
Three straight turnovers right after
the second half kickoff by the Minu-
temen were converted twice into
scores by the Huskies, and once killed
a good-looking UMass drive.
But the killer came late in the game
when Tripucka drove UMass down to
the UConn three-yard line with fifty
seconds left. Jim Torrance went for
two yards, then was stopped on the
half-yard line; then with five seconds
left, Greg Sprout's attempt at a game-
winning goal was blocked when
UMass or UConn, and probably both
teams, went offsides.
Unfortunately, the referees called
UMass, and the loss was in the books.
A week later UMass battled back
from a 42-14 third quarter deficit to
within 8 at 42-34, but lost to Colgate
in Hamilton, New York.
Things weren't much better a week
later when the Minutemen hit Wor-
cester. Their running defense was, to
be frank, atrocious, and the
MacPherson-men could never quite
get back from a 30-7 deficit, losing 30-
20.
New Hampshire came next with a
chance for a tie of the conference
crown, with, of all teams, Maine.
UMass won 27-17, thanks to a 93
yard Ron Harris punt return, and end-
ed their YanCon slate at 4-2.
And then there was no contest. In
other words, BC.
Trying to compete with BC in foot-
ball is like Sri Lanka competing with
the United States in GNP, and that
was one of the lessons UMass learned.
Playing like a well-oiled machine,
the Eagles rolled and rolled from the
opening kickoff to a 70-8 slaughter, as
a valiant but outnumbered Minute-
men team had no chance.
So the Minutemen finished a disap-
pointing season at 5-6, their first los-
ing season since 1968.
But with McAleney and Kelliher
back, along with Torrance, UMass
should be improved next year. They'll
have to find a passing attack, which
was as weak as the rushing game po-
tent, and shore up their linebacking,
with Dennis Kierann gone.
But perhaps the most ominous sign
in New England football is that the
Minutemen play Northeastern to re-
place Vermont, while hated UConn
opens the season at Navy.
That may make matters on the
playing field academic.
A gentler, more soft-spoken
man you could hardly hope to
meet. That is, unless you come
across him on a football field.
Dick MacPherson, UMass
head football coach is an enigma,
a contradiction in terms.
MacPherson is all coach. The
back-slapping, the chewing out,
the "that's all right, we'll get 'em
next time" yells. The disconso-
late drawn face as he sucks on
the butt of a Winston 100 and
blames himself after a loss. The
beaming countenance spouting
nothing but praise for his men
following a win.
MacPherson the coach is an
intense figure. Striding the
length of the sideline gnawing
on ice cubes, he cannot hide the
pressure of the game.
But MacPherson the man
could not be more to the con-
trary. From his "You're a hell of
a man" greeting to the "God love
ya " farewell, a meeting with Mac
could not be more of a pleasur-
able experience.
From the moment he wraps an
arm around your shoulder, you
begin to fall under the MacPher-
son spell. As he imparts his foot-
ball knowledge and spins tanta-
lizing yarns, the web of awe
grows tighter. As he rambles or
'off the record', you feel that hi<
personal touch will encompass
your view of the man and the
game.
But then the return to the gri-
diron, and all you've seen and
heard dissipates. Mac again be-
comes the soldier of fortune; the
driven, biting picture of inten-
sity as he undertakes the coach's
supreme challenge, building a
winning team from a group of
diverse individuals.
So the enigma, the endless cir-
cle of Dick MacPherson goes on.
All man, all coach, all at the right
time.
Senior co-captains Randy Thomas
and Bill Gillin led the Minuteman
cross-country runners to an impres-
sive 9-2 dual meet record in 1974.
The conference crown went to
UMass for the fifth consecutive year
as the runners outscored second place
Vermont by a whopping 24-75 mar-
gin.
Randy Thomas placed second at the
New England Championships as the
Providence Friars scored a meet-
winning 29 points, UMass trailing at
52 points. Later, the team made its se-
cond journey, to Van Cortlandt Park
and won the first IC4A title in UMass
history. After the victory, Coach
O'Brien was so happy that he had
trouble expressing his feelings. "The
team wanted it so badly; we've been
working for this since last year. We
thought we could do it, but to actually
win it ... "
Randy Thomas ran a fantastic race
in his final appearance, at the IC4A's.
The senior runner finished second,
teammate Bill Gillin placed fifth, and
John McGrail ran thirteenth.
The team entered the NCAA Cham-
pionships at Bloomington, Indiana
with hopes of performing well against
the nation's top harriers. Both Thomas
and Gillin earned All-American hon-
ors by placing in the top twenty-five
is UMass finished eighth in the com-
petition.

In four >ears, the team, with Tho-
mas, Gilhn, and Tom Wilson running,
amassed a 33-13 dual meet record,
won four Yankee Conference titles,
one New England Championship, and
most satisfyingly, the IC4A Cham-
pionship.
The eighth place finish in the Na-
tionals was the culmination of years of
work, dedication, and self-sacrifice by
Thomas, Wilson, and Giliin, and the
rest of the team. The '74 season will
long be remembered by cross country
followers as the season in which
UMass (ranked thirteenth in the na-
tion) competed successfully on the na-
tional level.
The UMass Marching Band made
UMass history this season by having the
first female band manager ever. To com-
memerate this acliievement, the March-
ing Band, in one of their best of the sea-
son, put on a half-time show dedicated to
the Women's Liberation Movement,
much to the approval of everyone in the
band.
Another change in this year's Band
was tliat the flag rank was increased in
size. Although there were only six wo-
men in the ranks for ttie past season,
there are plans to double the number for
next year.
The baton twirlers were led this year
by Mary Jane O'Sullivan. Mary Jane and
the rest of the twirlers worked hard to
coordinate their movements, not only
with each other, but with the rest of the
Band to concide with the show.
The l^and has to practice everyday in
the fall for the Saturday afternoon foot-
ball games. But the time the members put
into practice is worth it, they feel, when
thev can add some entertainment and ex-
citement to the games.
The UMass Pep Band is strictly a vo-
lunteer band which plays only for the
home basketball games. The Pep Band is
known for their "BC cheer" and their
"Lone Ranger cheer" which makes the
Cage virtually come alive with the excite-
ment. The spectators appreciate the
.sounds of the cowbell accompaniment
and the effort the Pep Band puts into
adding some extra excitement to the bas-
ketball games.
The 1974-1975 season was a success-
ful one for the UMass women's gymnas-
tics team, as the Minutewomen handed
Springfield College its first dual meet
loss in eight years, won the Eastern
Championships for the second straight
year, and finished as the second best
team in the United States.
Coach Virginia Evans' squad was led
by senior all-around performer Jeannine
Burger, who achieved All-American sta-
tus for the fourth year by finishing
fourth in the nation in floor exercise and
third in the Easterns in the all-arounds,
Susan Cantweli, the freshwomen pheno-
menon, also became an All-American by
finishing fifth in the country in the floor
exercise. Cheryl Smith, another freshwo-
man, peaked at the National Champion-
ships in Hayward, California by qualify-
ing for the finals on the beam and the
vault. Pam Steckroat finished fourth in
the Easterns in vaulting but suffered a
compressed fracture of her vertabrae
while competing on the uneven bars in
the finals of the Nationals.
The reason for the team's success was
the outstanding depth that carried the
squad as far as it went. Coach Evans re-
marked, "We had a young team (ten
freshwomen) but they came through all
season for us. "
For the first time ever, UMass defeated
Springfield (the Chiefs' first dual meet
loss in 40 encounters) 104.15 — 103.10.
The Minutewomen topped off their suc-
cessful 7-1 regular season record by de-
fending their Eastern Association for In-
tercollegiate Athletics for Women cham-
pionship, edging Springfield College
once again with the season's top score of
105.55 (to the Chiefs' 104.70). From
there UMass went to California where
they just fell short of the national cham-
pionship, finishing second behind South-
ern Illinois with a 105.50 total. The only
lowpoint of the season was the only loss,
to Penn State.
Seniors Jeannine Burger, Gail Hannan,
and Marian Kulick will be lost to the
team through graduation, and junior
Ann Olson will be returning to Oregon
from where she is an exchange student.
Returning next year are Susan Cantwell,
Cheryl Smith, Alicia Goode, Linda Nelli-
gan, Margie Magraw, Pam Steckroat,
Gail Mc Carthy, Keeley O'Rourke,
Cindy Severyn, Debbie Sargeson, Debbie
Law, and Regina Hartman. With these
twelve returning in 1975, the outlook for
continued success for the gymnasts is
bright.
Tom Dunn came to UMass three
years ago, took over as coach of the
men's gymnastics team, and proceeded
to compile one of the best records in
the history of the program — twenty-
seven wins and eight losses. In spite of
this superb coaching record, Tom
Dunn will not coach gymnastics at
UMass again.
In the spring of 1974, Athletic Dir-
ector Frank Mclnerny recommended
that Dunn not be rehired after the
1974-1975 season, to allow for expan-
sion of the women's program. The de-
partment later changed its position
and offered Dunn another year with
the team, but Dunn, looking for job
security, refused the offer. Instead, he
will become assistant coach at Penn
State (where he was a national cham-
pion on the parallel bars during his
senior year) next year, at a higher sa-
lary than he received as head coach at
UMass, and will possibly become head
coach at Penn the year after,
It is too early to estimate the effect
of Dunn's decision on the gymnastics
program at UMass. In a time when a
fine coach must leave the University
because of Athletic Department
"priorities ", one must question what
the role of intercollegiate athletics is:
to provide the athlete with an outlet to
show his individual capabiHties, or to
subsidize sporting institutions that are
financially dependent on revenue at
the expense of the smaller, more ex-
pendable sports programs?
Coaching a women's athletic team
in a society predominately geared
towards male athletics requires an in-
dividual having strong and committed
intentions for the promotion of the
sport involved. Virginia Evans, head
varsity coach of the women's gymnas-
tic team here at the University has for
the past four years demonstrated such
endurance to constantly strive to at-
tain the best total environment for her
athletes. In her four years of coaching
she has produced a varsity team winn-
ing two Eastern titles, one National ti-
tle, and achieving a position in the top
four at the AIAW Collegiate Nationals
every year.
Yet aside from the angle of achieve-
ment in terms of win-loss records,
there are other factors that have also
gone into making her a successful
coach. Virginia Evans feels that athle-
tic perfection is important for the pur-
pose of helping development of per-
sonal feelings of satisfaction and ac-
complishment. She is concerned for
each individual as a person. The
members of the team think of Ms.
Evans as a friend as well as a coach.
She is someone who will listen and
offer advice or help on any problem
whether it is related to gymnastics or
not.
Her coaching techniques vary from
athlete to athlete. Each person is con-
sidered to be a unique individual with
unique strengths and weaknesses. In
her coaching, she will try to build on
an individual's strengths, rather than
her weaknesses; this is always impor-
tant to relate to her team. With such a
strong and committed person as Ms.
Evans at the helm, UMass has a major
asset in the gymnasium.
The men's gymnastics team compiled
the best record in the team's existence,
winning ten dual meets while losing only
to Eastern powers Southern Connecticut
and Penn State, despite the loss of All-
American Gene Whelan through his
transfer to Penn State and the lack of
freshman recruits due to the controversy
that plagued the gymnastics program at
UMass.
The Minutemen finished third in the
Eastern Intercollegiate Gymnastics Lea-
gue on the basis of finishing with the
second best dual meet record in the lea-
gue, and by placing fourth in the E.I.G.L.
championships. Coach Tom Dunn said
that the team had a "fantastic dual meet
season" and that he "couldn't have
hoped for much more out of the team. "
The team was led by senior all-
arounder Bill Brouillet, who won the
E.I.G.L. championship on parallel bars.
Peter Lusk was the highest Division One
finisher on still rings, and in vaulting,
Steve Marks placed third among Divi-
sion I competitors in the E.I.G.L. 's. All
three qualified for the nationals, where
Brouillet placed 13th, Marks 21st, and
Lusk 26th.
Besides Brouillet, there were three
other seniors on the team, Tim Beasley,
Jack Fabbricante, and Roy Johnson, who
has a year of eligibility left. Coach Dunn
had high praise for the team's juniors.
who came through for the team when
they were really needed. They are Jon
Brandon, Dave Douglas, Charlie Hall,
Andy Hammond, and Joel James.
Rounding out the squad were sopho-
mores Chris Brown, Henning Geist, Peter
Lusk, the Marks brothers, Steve and
Paul, and freshmen Dave Kulakoff and
John Forshay.
The season's highlights had to be the
victories over Springfield College and
Temple. The Minutemen edged Spring-
field 204.25-203.20 and nipped Temple
in scoring their season's best total,
207.40-206.30.

For the UMass hockey Minutemen,
1974-75 was the season that was sup-
posed to be, but never was. In fact, for
the first time in six years, UMass
found itself out of the Division Two
playoffs. The optimism was never ful-
filled.
For one thing, the graduation of
netminder Chick Rheault left the Min-
utemen without an experienced goalie.
Moreover, the team had an inexper-
ienced defense led by sophomore Tim
Howes, senior Bill Mintiens, and sen-
ior co-captain Mike Ellis, who missed
a number of games due to ankle and
shoulder injuries. The rest of the blue-
line corps was made up largely of in-
experienced sophomores rushed into
action.
The all-senior forward line of John
Muse, Steve Nims, and Kevin
Conners promised to supply the bulk
of the scoring punch, but a combina-
tion of bad luck and inconsistent play
made it a very tough year for the trio.
The all-junior line of Scotty Stuart,
Billy Harris, and Jim Lyons proved to
be the top scoring unit but a late sea-
son spleen injury to Harris cooled off
the line and took away a large part of
the UMass offense.
Chris Lamby and twins Billy and
J ^ m mi im!imm»m >, m »- ^
Bobby White were the surprise of the
season. The fresh unit was a pleasure
ail year for Coach Jack Canniff with
center Lambys seventeen goals lead-
ing the team, and the Whites' sterling
checking gave trouble to opponents in
the corners.
When it comes down to a phrase
that describes the UMass season, it
has to be "a lot of offense couldn't
win with a lack of defense. " Also, the
injuries to Ellis, Harris, and number
one goalie Dana Redmond helped to
quench the skaters' post-season
hopes, as they finished with a 10-14-1
record.
Selected at tryouts last spring, this
year's cheerleaders consisted of 10 men
and 10 women. This squad differed from
any other squad due to its organization,
precision, and overwhelming spirit.
There are many memories that the '74-
'75 squad will never forget.
The cheerleaders will never forget the
time on November 1, 1974 when 15 of
them piled into one station-wagon and
rode all the way to Colgate University in
Hamilton, New York. Or, after ordering
brand new uniforms, that all the cheer-
leaders thought were better than any
other, finding out that Colgate has the
exact same taste in uniforms as UMass.
Or, the time when 15 of the Cheerleaders
had to sprawl over a lounge floor in one
of Colgate's dorms to sleep.
None of the cheerleaders can ever for-
get their first game at Dartmouth, when
they got completely drenched in their
new, letterless uniforms.
It was an excellent and exciting year
for the squad, both home and on the 19
road trips. The squad says good-bye and
good luck to all their departing seniors,
they all know who they are.
honored on March 15, 1975 by being in-
ducted into the Pennsylvania WrestUng
Coaches Association Hall of Fame at the
38th annual Pennsylvania state high
school championships.
Coach Barr had probably the toughest
challenge in college wrestling at Univ. of
Mass. He had to build a program in a
wrestling-poor area with not too much
funds, and not too much support. It is
doubtful that some of the coaches at the
lowas and the Oklahomas could have
done half as well, had they been given
the same situation.
Homer Barr, a great wrestler, a great
coach, and a great man!
Coach Steven Kosakowski shuffled
his netmen to a 5-4 spring season,
capturing second place in the Yankee
Conference championships. From cap-
tain Chris Post, Marc Ouellet, Bar-
naby Kalan, Dave Abramoff, Billy
Karol, and Art Cloutier, more than a
dozen doubles combinations were
tested during the four-week season.
The team lost their first three to BU,
Amherst, and Tufts. Victories over
Rhode Island and New Hampshire
marked UMa.ss as a solid second in the
conference.
The midseason duel versus defend-
ing conference champs Vermont high-
lighted the year. The Cats edged
UMass 5-4, but the tight match pro-
voked optimism about the conference
championships two weeks later. The
netmen finished the regular season by
taking four of the five final matches.
The UMass delegation turned the
end-of-season championships into a
Catamount-Minuteman showdown.
Five out of the six singles finals paired
UMass against Vermont; the netmen
kept close to the Cats' tails until the
second day of competition, when the
Minutemen lost the semifinal doubles
matches.
The netmen finished the '75 season
by placing 18th at the New England
Championships in Middlebury, Vt.
Steve Kosakowski joined the
UMass Athletic Department in 1945
as a physical education instructor. In
four years he worked his way up to
become varsity tennis coach and
Stockbridge Athletic Director, posi-
tions he holds today.
"He's one of the original troops
here; He put in a lot of hard hours to
build the athletic programs we enjoy,"
said baseball coach Dick Bergquist,
who was a tennis student of Kosa-
kowski's twenty-one years ago.
In only his second season as head
coach, Kosakowskis 1950 netmen
captured the first Yankee Conference
title in UMass history. Today his of-
fice walls are lined with fifteen confer-
ence plaques.
In 1954 he started coaching UMass
hockey as well as tennis. Before his
twelve years as head coach were over,
his Redmen had grabbed two hockey
beanpots and seen their coach elected
to the NCAA hockey coaches' Hall of
Fame.
Perhaps his "Old School" style of
coaching and dealing with people un-
derlies his success.
"If you're no good, he tells you
you're no good," remarked wrestling
coach Homer Barr.
"Outspoken, no matter what the
consequences," is how a former
hockey player described him.
"This brusqueness is just a veneer
for the goodness underneath," UMass
head trainer Vic Keedy felt.
Such a soft center has helped Kosa-
kowski mold strong relationships with
his players.
"When they left here they didn't
forget him," said Keedy. Kosakowski
was not forgotten either; a steady
stream of past and present athletes,
fellow coaches, and friends stop into
his office every day.
"He's an easygoing, likeable indivi-
dual, no matter what you thought of
him as a coach," said Ron Lundgren,
captain of the 1957 UMass hockey
squad, stopping by for a visit eighteen
years later.
When they left here, they didn't
forget him.

There will be practice — unless the
Connecticut is frozen, or the fog is so
thick that you can't see the Hadley
Bridge.
That, apparently, was coach Bob
Spousta's idea of the commitment he
expected from the members of the
Women's Crew Club. Those who
stuck it out evidently decided that 6
A.M. rows on the river, traipsing in
and out of the boathouse carrying a
sixty foot shell through the ever-
pre.sent mud, jogging, lifting weights,
and rowing on the ergometer were a
worthwhile substitute for a social life.
In a conglomeration of outfits that ap-
peared to have been donated by the
Salvation Army, the women arrived
via thumb or Five-College bus at the
boathouse six days a week.
Spousta, the unpaid coach, be-
decked always in army fatigues and
red ski cap, rode up and down the
river in the launch giving encourage-
ment, criticism, and navigational tech-
nique (and occasionally rowing in an
empty seat when one of the dedicated
rowers "overslept").
Spring semester brought the addi-
tion of a third boat coached by Rose
Sellew, a twenty-year-old sophomore
who had rowed varsity previously.
Rose taught her crew the finer arts of
avoiding the whirlpools under the
Calvin Coolidge Bridge, turning the
boat around in less than an hour, row-
ing relatively synchronized, keeping
balanced, and staying out of the
bushes on the west side of the river.
Crew is very much a team sport re-
quiring concentration, cooperation,
and a great deal of unselfishness from
each person; the teamwork involved
creates a certain sense of comraderie
among the members of the crew. The
women's teamwork and diligence pro-
duced a very successful spring season,
racing BU, Connecticut College, Rad-
cliffe, and Northeastern. They lost
only to Radcliffe, the national cham-
pions.

The UMass lacrosse team checked,
saved, and scored their way to a suc-
cessful nine wins and three losses dur-
ing the 1975 season. Garber's Gorillas,
as the team is more commonly known,
with their "run and gun" style of
play, were able to handle the great ma-
jority of their opponents with ease.
That can certainly be indicated by the
fact that the stickers scored 206 goals
while giving up only 103 during the
season.
UMass started out the season in si-
milar fashion to the year before by
losing their first two games to tough
opponents during their trip to the
lacrosse-talented confines of Long Is-
land. In the first contest, the Gorillas
played well but penalties killed them
as they lost to Cornell (the second best
lacrosse team in the nation) by a 16-10
score. Game number two was marked
by too many mental errors as they
went down, 14-10, to Hofstra, another
top-rated team.
Then, in keeping with the similari-
ties of the previous season, the
stickers went on a seven game winn-
ing streak, in which they usually "de-
molished" their opponents.
The only close game in that span
was an 11-10 victory over Cortland
State; otherwise, the Gorillas romped
everywhere. They did it in the staid,
metropolitan surroundings of Cam-
bridge when they toyed with Harvard,
15-7; they did it in the serene country
atmosphere of Williamstown when
they bombed Williams College 15-6.
And they did it in the friendly con-
fines of the hill behind Boyden Gym-
nasium as they ran circles around
Connecticut, Dartmouth, Boston Col-
lege, New Hampshire, and Spring-
field.
The low point of the season for the
Gorillas came when they were caught
by the high-flying Bruins of Brown
University, 15-8, and relinquished
their New England championship they
had won the season before.
Scoring came fast and furiously all
season with Jeff Spooner, Billy
O'Brien, Kevin Patterson, and Frank
Garahan leading the charge. The de-
fensive corps was anchored by the
tight play of Billy Blaustein, Kurt Ol-
son, and Kenny Michaud; while at
midfield, Terry Keefe, Steve Pappas,
Vinnie LoBello, and John Martin
headmanned the squad.
When a team coached by Dick
Garber takes the field, the outcome is
never in question — for the players are
always winners, regardless of the
score of the game.
Lacrosse coach Garber, in his 21st
season at UMass, was again very suc-
cessful, very well-liked, and very sa-
tisfied with the season, even though
the important Brown game went the
other way this year.
"Our team realized its own poten-
tial," reflected the coach. And that is
what is most important — that ever-
yone be the best they can be.
Garber has held this philosophy
throughout his coaching years and
practice of it has been extremely grati-
fying. During his years at Massachu-
setts, his teams have compiled an
overall record of 163 wins and 62
losses. Many times, the squads were
the best divisional team in New Eng-
land, and two years ago they were the
best of everyone in New England
when they beat Brown in a thriller.
Coach Garber has also had his mark
travel elsewhere as many of his former
players are coaching lacrosse through-
out the country, from high school le-
vel on up.
Dick Garber is a man who still sees
the real meaning of sports at the col-
lege level: quality, fun, and enjoyment
for everyone; and he also is a man with
the talent for building those types of
teams with quality lacrosse.
Although track coach Ken O'Brien
and his squad hosted the 1975 New Eng-
land Championships, the UMass track
team failed in its bid to defend the New
England title, which UMass captured in
the spring of 1974.
The indoor track squad compiled a 4-3
dual meet record, captured the Yankee
Conference championship and placed
fifth in the New Englands.
A few months later, O'Brien added se-
veral individuals to his winter roster with
hopes of an outstanding spring schedule.
But when the first meet of the season was
snowed out, the trackmen should have
planned on one of those seasons in which
not everything goes right.
The tracksters had a 3-2 record
during the outdoor slate, losing two
close contests to powerhouses North-
eastern and Dartmouth. Tri-captains
Steve Crimmin, Mike Geraghty and
Tom Beland led the team to its second
straight victory at the Boston College
Relays, but a second place finish in
the Yankee Conference meet was a
slight disappointment.
Connecticut and Northeastern fin-
ished ahead of UMass in the New
Englands, which were held at the
Llewleyn Derby Track. The Minute-
men, as expected, were among the top
finishers, capturing third place.
The winter track schedule opened
with a 70-48 triumph over Rhode Is-
land as Tony Pendleton set a school
record in the long jump, Other out-
standing performers in the first meet
were Curt Stegerwald, Joe Martens,
Mark Healy and Tom Lonergan.
The team travelled to Storrs for a
quadrangular meet against UConn,
Vermont and New Hampshire and
scored 52 points for a second place
finish. The Huskies won the meet
with 67 points while New Hampshire
and Vermont managed only 16 points
each.
The minutemen were idle for nearly
eight weeks between the meet at Storrs
and the next scheduled contest against
Northeastern (after intersession). The
tracksters were outclassed by a power-
ful Northeastern squad, 76-42. Three
days later, the track squad was nipped
by Dartmouth 68'/2-67y2, after bat-
tling back from a 62'/2-45y2 deficit.
The Big Green victory spoiled record-
breaking performances for the annual
UMass-Dartmouth battle by Ken
Adamson, Mark Healy, Chris Farmer
and Randy Thomas.
A balanced attack and several
record-setting performances enabled
the trackmen to win the Yankee Con-
ference indoor title at Kingston,
Rhode Island. Joe Martens was a dou-
ble winner, placing first in the 50-yard
dash and taking first in his specialty,
the high jump.
The tracksters did not do as well as
they had hoped in the New England
Indoor Championships managing only
a fifth-place finish, scoring 16 points,
Co-captains Randy Thomas and Bill
Gillin placed second and third in the
mile, the biggest event of the New
England competition for UMass. Joe
Martens tied for fourth in the high
jump, Mark Healy tied for third in the
600-yard run and the mile relay team
of John Richard, Mark Healy, Curt
Stegerwald, and Steve Crimmin
rounded out the scoring with a second
place showing.
^
The top individual performances
during the indoor schedule were by
Randy Thomas and Joe Martens.
The trackmen spent most of the
outdoor season preparing for the New
England competition, knowing that
competing on their own track would
be an advantage. O'Brien and his
charges had to settle for third, as se-
veral seniors participated in their last
meet.
Senior members on the team includ-
ed Steve Crimmin, Devin Croft, Tom
Beland, Mike Geraghty, Bill Gillin,
Pete Ryan, Thomas and Weeden Wet-

Inconsistency was the key word all
season long as the baseball team came
up with its second consecutive disap-
pointing spring, finishing with a re-
cord of 11-18. The sole consolation for
the Minutemen was their second-place
finish in the Yankee Conference.
Senior co-captain Pete Backstrom
and first baseman John Seed were the
leading hitters on the squad. Back-
strom batted .349 and led the team
with four home runs, while Seed, a
junior, hit .323 and led the squad in
at-bats, hits, and doubles. Jerry Mon-
dalto, who alternated at third base and
shortstop, was elected most valuable
player by his teammates. The junior
led the squad in runs-batted-in, extra-
base hits, and stolen bases (ten in ten
attempts), while making just one error
in 80 fielding chances.
For a stretch in the first half of the
season, junior righthander Craig Alle-
grezza was the hottest pitcher in New
England. Among his outstanding per-
formances were a one-hitter against
the University of New Hampshire and
a three-hit shutout of Boston College.
When Allegrezza tailed off in the
second half of the year, sophomore
Jeff Reardon became the squad's main
hurler. A 6-0 shutout against Maine
and a two-hit win over Dartmouth
highlighted the hard-throwing righth-
ander's season.
Coach Dick Bergquist's squad was
riddled with injuries which hampered
its performance all spring. Senior co-
captain John Healy's playing time was
limited with a shoulder pull, Back-
strom and catcher Jim Black each were
out for extended stretches with
hamstring pulls, and second baseman
Mike Koperniak missed the last three
weeks of the year with a dislocated
finger.
Bergquist will lose only three sen-
iors for next year — Backstrom, Healy,
and inf ielder Joe MarzilH.

Most people didn't even know.
Others didn't care. But it is a fact that
the UMass golf team, aside from
men's lacrosse, was the only spring
squad to gain national prominence.
By placing second in the qualifica-
tions for the Nationals, the golfers
earned the chance to be one of two
Eastern representatives in the NCAA
championships in June. They would
be competing against the best golfers
in the country; a proud way to cul-
minate a very prosperous fall and
spring campaign.
The golfers performed without the
240
acclaim of other sports primarily be-
cause golf is not a spectator sport. In
fact, it can be downright boring to
watch. The sport requires the utmost
in concentration, poise, and confi-
dence from the athlete; hence, specta-
tors find it dull.
In the fall, the Minutemen out-
classed all opponents by winning the
New Englands by twenty-two strokes.
They closed out the fall in impressive
fashion as they tied Yale for the
ECAC crown.
In the spring, UMass compiled a
10-0-1 record in their matches. After a
/)»w*li
thirty-two stroke victory in the con-
ference championships, and a third
JDlace finish in the seventeen team Sa-
lem State tournament under nearly
impossible weather conditions, the
Minutemen accomplished what they
had set as their goal a year earlier —
qualifying for the Nationals in Co-
lumbus, Ohio.
Senior co-captain Joe Artman and
teammates Rick Olson, Bill Locke,
Glen Sullivan, John Lasek, and Howie
Terban consistently turned in stellar
performances on the links to pace the
team.

I am writing about my rape — what happened to me — because I think it is important for rape to be demytholo-
gized for women. By that I mean that I feel women should be able to think of rape on a practical level, realizing it
may happen to you and preparing to prevent it rather than dismissing it as an impossibility or being paralyzed by
the fear of it.
I imagine some of you women may not want to read about it. I don't blame you at all. For a long time (a year
after it happened) I did not talk about it or even think about it because it was too painful. I repressed it and that
was self-destructive. Since I have recognized that, I have tried to deal with it in various ways, e.g. by doing a role-
play in which I got free from the attacker and screamed two beautiful terrifying screams in the process, and only
recently by talking about it in a matter-of-fact way, telling people what happened without being melodramatic.
I think it is important not to assume that if you are raped, it will emotionally cripple you forever. My advice to
all women is: learn self-defense, learn to protect yourself by the way you dress, the way you interact with people,
the places you go, etc. Please don't wait to be raped before you decide to learn self-defense. It is not worth it. Don't
let fear of rape tie you to the house. If you are raped, call the closest women-run rape hot-line number and don't
repress your feelings; let them out right away with a woman friend or a feminist counselor. Get a woman to go with
you to the police.
Here's what happened. I was hitchhiking on a highway with two friends. We split up to get rides easier and I was
standing alone behind them. A huge truck stopped next to me, not them. I should have been suspicious already. I
asked if he'd take me and my friends. He said he'd take only one person because any more would be illegal. (I think
his picking up anyone was illegal) That was a clear indication not to get in, but I got in.
We talked some and after a while he asked if I wanted to make some money, i said no very firmly and added how
sick I was of propositions. He said, "Okay, sorry, just thought I'd try." I believed that he was giving up! At this point
now I would try various tactics to get him to let me out, preferably in a public place, e.g. I would say, "I have to use
a bathroom," or, "I think I'm going to be car-sick," or something similar.
After some more talk he pulled off the road into a truck pull-off (no one else was there) and got out "to check
the refrigerated food" he was carrying, i could have easily have gotten out then. He might have chased me but I
could have run into the middle of the road and stood on the yellow line and screamed until I got a car to stop. He
got back in, turned around, and opened a small vent behind him in the sleeper (a small raised bed in large trucks
for the driver to sleep) and asked me to open the vent on my side. I could not reach it without climbing into the
sleeper. Even at this point I could probably have made it out of the truck if I moved fast. But I climbed into the
sleeper and he jumped in after me before I got to the vent. I tried to squeeze past him but he completely blocked
the opening. He was very big.
He began trying to take my clothes off and I was pushing his hands away and crying. I was acting totally
impulsively, not using my mind at all, because I'd never thought about what I would do in that situation. I began
babbling anything that came out, about how it was no good that way, we didn't know each other, why didn't he find
someone who wanted to do it, etc. Three different times he got me on my back with his hands around my neck and
squeezed, harder each time.
A car pulled into the pull-off place and that freaked him out. He told me not to scream and I didn't. In general I
do recommend screaming. When I screamed in my role-play later the guy doing it with me said he thought it would
be an effective deterrent.
Then the car left and he raped me. Physically it was nothing, not painful or sexual at all. My feeling the whole
time was that my personhood was being violated. It was over very quickly. I think he was scared by the car and
decided he had better leave fast. It makes me glad not that it probably wasn't worth it for him.
I told him that if I had to have an abortion he had to pay for it. He said, "Don't worry, I was fixed in 'Nam." Could
be. Anyway he was not about to give me his address so I hoped he was telling the truth. He told me to stay lying
down in the sleeper until he said to come out. That gave me just enough time to start hating him.
When I came out he could tell I was boiling with rage. He tried to talk to me. He gave me this whole line about
how he didn't know I meant "no" because lot of "Girls said no and meant yes." He offered me money again and I
told him I'd tear it to shreds. He told me he could always pick out the ones that were willing and that I looked like
I had a nice "box." That was supposed to flatter me! Now I try to wear loose non-feminine clothes and to act as un
witling as possible when I hitchhike.
He asked me several times if I would report him. I said no and I didn't. Now I would say no but it would be a lie.
Then I told him it would not help me to hurt him back, but now I would want to keep him from raping more women.
He told me I was lucky, that some men would also have beat my head and thrown me on the ground. I knew that
was true.
I do still hitchhike (rarely), short distances alone and long distances only with a friend. I haven't had any trouble
since then because I have learned that I can refuse rides if I feel uncomfortable about the driver (even if I don't
understand why) or ask to be let out if i start feeling strange once I get in. It is possible to hitchhike and not be
raped if you aren't naive.
Reports of rapes at UMass are still
few and far between, constituting
the biggest problem in an otherwise
successful Rape Counseling Pro-
gram established in January 1975.
Despite the installation of a confi-
dential rape line in the department,
reports have remained about the
same as before, although the line is
open on a 24 hour basis, and is
accessible to the general public.
"Most victims don't report a rape
for fear of being attacked again.
We're trying to encourage them to
report because, more often than
not, the person has committed
more than one rape," says Diana
White, former Special Assistant at
the UMass Department of Public Sa-
fety.
This new program at UMass, is
designed to make the "trauma of
rape" less of a trauma, according to
White.
As of the new year, a law was
passed requiring every police de-
partment to form special rape in-
vestigation units, with properly
trained officers.
A five-day workshop, with this
goal in mind, was conducted in Fe-
bruary at Brandeis University.
Twenty-five officers from around
the country participated in the
workshop, and returned to their
precints, to conduct their own train-
ing sessions. Events at the work-
shops included lectures by psycho-
logists, doctors, and people involved
in rape crisis centers.
The general message conveyed at
the workshop, was to place empha-
sis on the well-being of the victim in
rape case.
"It is important to realize the
trama the victim in a rape case is
going through," said White, who at-
tended the workshops.
UMass officers have been sent to
the Boston School of Nursing in
order to become certified counsel-
ing instructors. Other officers have
been sent to the Holoyoke Police
Academy for training.
In addition, the UMass Rape
Counseling Program consists of lec-
tures given by police officers, at var-
ious dorms on campus. The pro-
gram also includes, on request, six
week courses in self-defense, given
at Boyden and WOPE, also con-
ducted by UMass police officers.
The most recent advancement in
the UMass Rape Counseling Pro-
gram concerns the joint effort of
the Every Women's Center, the
UMass Health Services, and the
UMass Mental Health Services.
According to Captain Robert
Joyce of the UMass Police Depart-
ment, these sources are joining to-
gether with the police, in order to
"lend a helping hand", and provide
better service for the victim.
At meetings held during the
summer months, information was
exchanged between these various
groups, in an effort to aid in the
assistance of rape cases. Joyce said
the campus should see the efforts
of these "exchange" sessions in the
Fall.
"The welfare of the victim is top
priority; then, we attempt to identify
the perpetrator," said Joyce.
The UMass Rape Counseling Unit
makes itself available to the sur-
rounding areas of Amherst, Hadely,
Shutesbury, and, as far as Worces-
ter.
However, in order for the pro-
gram to be reaped to its fullest ex-
tent, rapes must be reported. Many
times, it has been discovered, the
perpetrator has committed several
rapes. Thus, the best way to prevent
more rapes, is to report them.

Southwest — cement city, crazy capital of the campus. Nightlife, partytime is all the time, and silence isn't even
in the vocabulary. Living in Southwest could be a fate worse than death to some, based on its famed reputation for
insanity.
The attitude of "anything goes" seems prevalent there, the reason being simply because it is Southwest, which
automatically provides license and excuse for bizarre behavior. Contrary to popular belief, however. Southwest does
have its quiet times and many sane people live there and enjoy it.
True, we're packed like sardines in brick and cement, plagued by broken elevators and two Dining Commons, but
with the right attitude and a little tolerance. Southwest can be an interesting place to live. Our problems are the
same as those of any other residential area on campus, just on a larger scale. People and what they do are no
different here than anyplace else — it's just that we live with the myth and sometimes stigma of SOUTHWEST.
There's a lot to do in Southwest, even if it's just lying around on Horseshoe Beach (as our little patch of grass is
sometimes called) on a sunny day.
Southwest is convenient, and there are no hills to trudge when carrying all your books from the Annex. Mud is
minimal in the UMass rainy season as we are surrounded by a lot of cement. Boyden Gym is near to take a swim,
and the stadium is a mere fifteen minute hike. Hitchhiking, a popular Southwest sport is aided by highways on two
sides of the area. Yes, Southwest has it all.
The controversal and wild nightlife of Southwest is not really all that wild or controversal. There are a lot of
parties, especially on weekends, but that happens anywhere. Our parties really do not have any more beer or louder
music than anyplace else, but we try harder — for the sake of our image.
Even studying in Southwest is interesting. The first interesting thing is that anyone does or can study in South-
west, and the second thing is that on any given all-nighter, sitting in the dorm study lounge with the window open,
one can hold conversations with those returning from Blue Wall four hours after closing.
Southwest will probably never change. It will never become known as a tranquill, passive little place. But then
again, who would want it to? What would people come to UMass to see? It's a fantasyland with a lot of people playing
f risbee all the time, but it takes your mind off the rest of the real-world problems.
Southwest has spirit and character. The lights are on all night and you can call a friend you haven't see in weeks
at 4 a.m. and not have to worry about waking them up, just whether or not they'll be home.
There is one problem, though — do the trash collectors have to come around and be so noisy at 7 a.m.? After all,
when do they expect us to get any sleep around here?
Southwest, a great place to live, you might even visit there, after all those people are always having a good time!

Most of Central is about as far from the center of campus as is possible,
even though Noah Webster, this area's infamous lexicographer has defined
Central as "in, at, or near the center." However, enticing as the name may
be, current opinion polls indicate that Webster is wrong.
In winter, the buses find it hard to climb the hill, but dining commons' trays
always seem to make it down. The Physical Plant was very considerate not
long ago when they dug a ditch at the base of the Hill to catch trays, cu-
shions, cardboard, and sundry items. Fortunatly, for those who hit very hard,
the infirmary was only footsteps away.
Another popular winter sport is the after-dinner snowball fights in and out
of the windows of Brett and Wheeler.
As winter wanes and the weather gets warm, sporting activities change.
Before spring had even sprung, Gumby was back again on his perch and the
realty signs reappear; Baker is once again "For Sale." The backyard of Baker
rapidly becomes the muddiest football field in the east, with the front of the
Franklin Dining Commons running a close second. The grounds around Van
Meter soon are spotted with sunworshipers and "beauties" in bikinis.
But that's not all; In the wee hours of darkness nude beauties can be found
galloping, trotting and sauntering beneath the windows, with their lily-white
bottoms and other accessories glistening in the moonlight. They come in all
shapes, sizes and colors, by all modes of transportation.
Central Area will always remember the consistant rivalry for the obscenity
medal between Van Meter, Butterfield, Baker, Chadbourne, and Greenough.
Occasionally, Orchard Hill members even chime in. But no dorm can come
close to the Chadbournites; they always win the gold medal. Everyone contin-
ues to wonder, "Do Chadbournites really eat with those mouths?"
Back in the "old-days", before obscenity and nudity, Central residents
indulged in such risque'' activities as panty-raids and water fights, with wet
toilet paperballs as the ammo supply. Central suffered sore bottoms when the
supply ran out and the University switched to a more regimented, cheaper
brand.
Other favorite activities of Central residents include roofwalking and Frat
raids with Gorman. However, for the lonely giHs in Central, B.V.D. raids came
to a rapid halt. One semester was devoted to the renovation of Greenough
and another whole semester to tarring the roof of Wheeler.
Central has eleven dorms in their area, although two of them are disquised.
These are Hills, housing many different types of offices, and New Africa
House, Central's only cultural asset. The most unique dorm in the area is
Butterfield, whose Gothic arches alert you to the fact that it has its own
dining commons. Butterfield also houses many of the University's exchange
students.

Situated in the center of the square formation of four identically con-
structed dorms is the park area of Orchard Hill. On a brilliant sunny day early
in the fall semester, many a Hill resident can afford the leisure time to laze
around on the grass and attempt to upkeep his/her summer tan. Each stu-
dent knows well that once the homework piles on, there will be few hours to
devote to sunbathing or the aimless pleasure of relaxation.
While the grass-lovers soak up the sun, a duo of more ambitious residents
flick a frisbee high across the square to their friends waiting on the sixth floor
balcony. Tonight, a floor party will be held in the balcony and its adjoining
lounge This early semester party provides a planned opportunity for floor
members to become acquainted and begin new friendships.
Many Orchard Hill residents believe coed living, which prevails in all four
houses, to be one of the most educational aspects of the University. In
addition, the relative seculsion of the Hill from the rest of the campus serves
to create an intimate atmosphere where residents may come into contact
with each other more often than do residents of the other residential areas.
If a resident feels he would prefer to be surrounded by people supporting
a similar cause to his own, he may room on the Liberationists' or Third World
Corridors. A Women's Center and a Third World Center also offer related
personal services and information to people seeking to explore new insights
and questions.
Besides the regular University courses. Orchard Hill offers inter-
disciplinary courses for the student who wants to work first-hand in human
concern areas. Some of these courses combine involvement in Orchard Hill
services, as the student in the Journalism course writes for the area new-
spaper, "The Sage." At the commencement of the semester, the resident
realizes the ease of taking courses offered within his living area and the
individual learning experience to be gained.
One particular course which students find valuable is "Making a Life, Mak-
ing a Living". This course gained its popularity by specializing in preparing
the student for occupational life outside of the campus and thereby repre-
sents the total emphasis of all the interdisciplinary courses.
The uniqueness of the living and academic atmosphere at the first residen-
tial college on campus must be attributed to not only the participating resi-
dents, but especially to the area staff. All too often, the students do not
realize that the primary mission of this staff is to provide the best possible
intellectual, psychological and physical conditions so that a student may
expand his or her inner self into the complete person he or she intends to
become at UMass.

There they stand; old and weathered. They surround a grassy area known
as "the Quad." To outsiders, it's called Northeast — "those dorms across
from the Grad Center."
Many people like its small size. "You get to know people better that way."
There's a community feeling and alot of "personal interaction." Perhaps
that's why people who start with Quad, stay there while they live on-campus.
There's the old walls and the old furniture. "Remember," says a janitor,
"no nails in the walls."
And, of course, there's the yelling between dorms. Someone asks for quiet.
But, three minutes later, someone else is using his stereo as a mike. But,
Quad isn't always like this. It's often quiet.
You don't always have to be outgoing to know people there. There's the
"open door policy" if you want people to know they're welcome.
And the sense of community trust seems strong. People aren't afraid to
leave their doors open.
Hamlin is closed now. But, that's so the Physical Plant can enlarge the
rooms.
Then, there's the four coed dorms. Leach is going coed soon and maybe
the other three dorms will change, too.
And the volleyball courts? From dawn to dusk, there's always a game.
There's few parties in Quad. But, the Halloween Dance and Senior Day
make up for it. Maybe it's better that way.
But, this is the Quad. Small and quiet. And this is the reason people live
there. Still, there's Freshman Orientation during the summer and it's often
noisy. But, that's only for a short time. Soon, everything will be back to
normal. And the old, weathered dorms will still be there.

Rising majestically aside Eastman Lane stands Sylvan: tall, picturesque,
overtly concrete. Peopled with the veterans of hard study and intramural
conquest, of courtyard boogies and Frisbee colloquia. Home of the MudSlide
and traditional Newt lore. Why is it so silent now?
The quiet is broken as the sound of footprints is heard in the distance. And
then a little voice.
"What's the color of shit?" is the query which fills the courtyard's ears.
"Brown!" is the triumphant reply from the dorm coincidently of the same
name.
The silence is shattered.
Sylvan is a whirlwind, a small area with a large pulse. Tired of being looked
upon as a concrete zit on the campus complexion, Sylvanites have banded
together to make this place something special. Where else can a person ride
the Subway without going anywhere, and walk home with a grinder?
Sylvan is art. The Cashin Bud Man. The Brown Lounge mural. The puke on
the McNamara stairs.
Sylvan is innovation. Cricket in the hallway. Prom Night for floor suite-
hearts. A weekly subscription to the "Sylvan Parchment."
People with sloped heads consider Sylvan as enigma, a dormoritorial con-
tradiction in terms. How can these student bodies live in the most expensive
but least spacious rooms on campus and say they like it? Are they truly
deranged, or is there a charismatic force keeping them on the Sylvan side of
the tracks?
"Well, the hallways are conducive to water fights."
"I don't know. I don't live here."
"The suites are so much more personalized."
"I enjoy falling down in the mud."
"The best sunsets on campus."
"Maybe it's the prospect of appearing on WSYL-TV."
Sylvan. How does one capsulize a day-to-day living and learning experience
waking up on Saturday morning to build a park passing out on
Saturday night in a neighbor's lounge .
Sylvan is diversification. The area tries so hard to be different that it has
evolved a sense of pride which one can sense while munching Cocoa Krispies
on the way to classes.
Land of the Little Cubicles. Concrete City. Newtville. Sylvan is so many
things. But most .

For the commuting student, college life changes when a student moves to an apartment, either alone or with
others. Responsibilities increase along with the freedom. Noise levels dim after leaving the dorm and the total
experience is altered.
Hours of weekly driving to get to and from UMass, with prayers that the car will keep operating, mix with glimpses
of the younger set on the sports field on the way past Boyden Gymnasium.
To the freshman right out of the senior year of high school, UMass offers an education for that dream career.
Parties, sports events and involvement in clubs and political associations offset living in dorms and eating in the
regimental cafeterias.
To the senior, and others living off-campus UMass offers the same only one is rewarded with the choice of what
a student is going to eat and is given a greater living space in doing so. Even the boring sandwiches, in discreet
brown paper bags, that all look alike by the end of the semester are a student's own concoction. The choice of
peanut butter and jelly or imported ham with Swiss cheese is totally up to the student, not what someone from the
dining commons feels you should be eating for lunch.
Housework for students living in apratments soon becomes a reality. Taking care of one-half of a room is a lot
different than keeping several rooms clean.
The house looks like chaos; someone forget to think about washing the dishes. Oh well, that's the other half of a
commuting students' life. There's no separate bubble of existence.
It's like a nine-to-five job, only more enjoyable. Of course, there are long hours of study, even no sleep on some
nights. However, UMass is left to its lit, highrise buildings and counselors for pals each night.
The drive home offers time to be alone and do all the necessary unwinding. If students do not have cars then the
University provides bus service all day and night to get students where they're going, whether it be to school or to
visit a friend in another apartment complex.
A student's apartment is mostly furnished with relatives' cast-offs, "early American slum" with posters and other
artwork hung on the walls. This mixture added to a wide variety of plants puts the stamp of individuality on
complexes, which really do not differ that much from the poor construction of the dorms.
The kitchen provides either added delight or frustration to students. Attempts made at cooking can bring varying
results. Cooking ventures can range from homemade breads, soups, dinette cake to coffee cakes that come out of
the oven resembling moon-craters or meat that has been cooked so long that none of the knives can cut it, never
mind any stomachs trying to digest it. Some students stick faithfully to TV dinners or pot-pies, but they are really
missing the creative joy afforded by being in charge of a kitchen.
For all the traveling, blending of housework and studying, sacrificing of time to study, time set aside for those
who must work, the changes soon become so routine that it seems so natural. The commuting student, living away
from home, is given so much more freedom that it is hard not to truely enjoy the years away from the dorms.

would never run out. But what about the frat man of 1975? What's important to him?
The elements that constitute Greek life today are not what they were in 1953. Greek organizations are changing
all across the country and UMass Greeks are no exception. The most predominant factor in a student's decision to
"Go Greek" today is that Greek life is a viable alternative life style on modern campuses. At their conception,
fraternities and sororities were primarily social, elitist organizations which oftentimes housed the wealthier faction
of the student body. In 1975, the "visions of grandeur" associated with Greek life have vanished. What exists now
is a life style offering comfort, social life, responsiblity and most importantly, a chance to know well a small group
of people on a campus of over 20,000.
A fraternity in 1953 could afford to participate in destructive pledge or in the "blackballing" of potential members.
Twenty-two years ago no one questioned the practices of fraternities. Whatever they did was considered to be fun
and a sign of the times. As time went on, however, fraternites were forced to re-examine themselves and their
priorities. The early seventies saw Greek life at its lowest ebb. Students were turning to the Vietnam War as a center
of activity. Fraternities and sororities were too frivolous a pastime when the country was engaged in a war. The
mood of students changed as they set their sights and goals toward trying to involve themselves in national affairs.
In order to survive, Greek life had to mold itself to the changing needs of students. As a result, Greek organizations
have virtually eliminated "hazing" and other destructive, discriminatory practices. Greek activities have taken a turn
toward the practical and productive. Because of this fact and those factors mentioned earlier, Greek living is on its
way back. In the past year, the Greek area at UMass had a 35% increase in membership, a figure that is nearly
double that of the national average.
In 1975, Greeks engaged in a number of activities that served to increase their potential as a strong active area
^ on campus. The Executive officers of the Greek Council developed an area newsletter as well as an alumni
* newsletter, a well-rounded program of colloquia, a peer-sex education program and a Women's Week, as well as
developing an effective campaign against the threat of a "Universal Fee".
Yet, even though they are diversifying their interests, fraternities and sororities are still the sponsors of the
traditional college activities. Homecoming, Winter Carni and Greek Week are still Greek domain and if the Greeks
didn't support them they would, in all probability, die. But of course, supporting campus traditions will always be
important to Greeks. At least these days, it's not all that's important.

You are graduating at a most difficult time, a time that will require the full
measure of the knowledge and experience that you have acquired in your years
here on this campus . . . For those of you graduating today, in fact for all of
us, the central issue of our times is how we learn to understand and how we
choose to respond to these crises.
Chancellor Randolph W. Bromery
// is the substance of these four years that is meaningful, and that each one
of us will carry with us for years to come. Until we can all perceive and
understand the difference between earning a degree and living and education,
then these four years, the previous twelve, and the many that are to come will
unnecessarily be sent in vain.
