'Portrait qf Ourselves

Sense of self, as an individual priority, nourishes the academic community in which we
thrive. Roles we assume here as student, teacher, lover, worker often determine our
self-concept — negotiated by the realization and establishment of our capabilities.
Ironically what those roles give us often betray what we give them. Our struggle lies in
knowing as our purpose is in growth. That we may know ourselves is our strength. And
individual effort will fuel mutual energy.

with her first UMass appearance was the

COMMUNICATION

"Why Am I Afraid to Teil You Who I Am?"
Vulnerability must be risked in order for honest
communication to take place. Hurt, rejection,
challenge, ridicule- these are the chances we
must take to know the rare moments of broken
barriers. It is safer to retain our shields- to
protect our private territoriality; forfeiting that
imperative will leave us raw. Yet only by sur-
rendering our masks and fences can we tell
each other who we are. Our fellow creatures
know that we have only ourselves and one
another. It may not be much, but that's all
we've got.

Knapp Sworn In

David C. Knapp was inaugurated
as UMass' 19th president in late Oc-
tober.

Knapp, 50, former provost of Cor-
nell University in New/ York, was in-
stalled at a ceremony inside Faneuil
Hall in the revitalized Quincy Market.

Knapp replaced Robert C. Wood,
who gave up the UMass presidency
earlier this year and subsequently
became Boston School Superinten-
dent. Knapp officially began his du-
ties September 1st.

"We in universities need to renew

our sense of social purpose," Knapp
told the gathering. "We have turned
inward. We have become concerned
with our disciplines per se than with
their meaning for learning.

Putting science, technology and
society back together again lies at
the heart of solving the problems we
face," he added. "And doing so re-
quires that study related to this end
must be at the core, not the fringe,
of this university."

A Year of Campus Violence

Violent is perhaps the most ade-
quate way to describe the UMass
campus from September 1978 to
May 1979. The year began with the
unsolved death of a 20-year-old
UMass student, Seta Rampersad, in-
cluded various incidents of sexual
assault and vandalism and ended
with set fires in the New Africa
House during May.

The violence was not only direct-
ed at others and University proper-
ty, but self-inflicted. Four UMass stu-
dents killed themselves, three while
living on-campus.

In September whispers of an 18-
year-old woman hanging herself in
her Central Area dormitory room
shocked the campus. Vice Chancel-
lor for Student Affairs Dennis L.
Madson told a Collegian reporter,
"these things come in rashes." And
when another 18-year-old woman
plunged to her death from the 21st
floor of a Southwest tower after be-
ing on campus for only five days, the
entire campus stopped and ab-
sorbed the news as it spread from
Southwest to Northeast in a matter
of hours. Students who were often
under the pressures of academics,
life and career goals and romantic
relationships, were stunned by the
decision of a peer to do what every
person considers at least once dur-
ing a lifetime.

Other incidents of personal vio-
lence marked the year, such as a
rash of reported and attempted

rapes during the early spring.

Most of the attacks occurred at
night in dimly lit areas such as park-
ing lots and walkways on campus.
Many women were more afraid than
usual to walk alone at night, and es-
cort services sprang up around cam-
pus as well as sales of rape alert
whistles by the rape counselor/ad-
vocates. Various marches and rallies
protesting violence against women
were held during the year. Lighting
surveys were done and task forces
on violence formed, yet there were
very few modifications made, most-
ly due to lack of funds. And no won-
der, because over a quarter of a mil-
lion dollars was spent on repairing
University property that had been
destroyed by vandalism.

Walls, Doors, Windows, And
Lights:

Anger at the administration, the
frustration of leading the life of a stu-
dent, as well as alcohol abuse com-
bined to move UMass students to
destroy windows, lights, doors, ele-
vators, furniture, fire alarms and
walls. A study by the UMass Alcohol
Education Project showed that 30
percent of reported incidents of van-
dalism involved alcohol use. One
UMass worker's job actually entailed
repairing doors only in Southwest.
Nothing escaped. Star Trek, biblical
quotations, perversions and hate
notes covered the library walls of a
University that had a reputation for
being "aware," as the silent major-

ity expressed itself.
Residence Heads Threatened:

Violence was also directed at
Heads of Residence on campus,
who were often the most personal
representatives of the University ad-
ministration that students came in
contact with. The door of one head
of residence was set ablaze as he
slept, while a brick was thrown
through the window of another.

In late spring, several fires were
set in the New Africa House, which
housed the Afro-American Studies
Department as well as other Third
World related offices. At the close of
the semester, the death of Seta
Rampersad was still unresolved, and
the violent tensions that marked the
spring and fall semesters were aban-
doned for summer skies.

Seta
Rampersad

Seta Rampersad was a 20-year-
old black woman student at UMass,
scheduled to graduate in December
of 1978 with a degree in Political
Science. On the morning of Septem-
ber 13, 1978 Seta was left alone to
die at the Motel 6 in South Deerfield.

An inquest was convened on No-
vember 13 to determine the cause
of Seta's death, and although Seta
had not been alone in the immediate

hours before her death, no absolute
cause of death was established nor
were any indictments made against
those individuals who had left Seta
alone to die. The inquiry into the
death of Seta Rampersad was
closed to the press and public.

As we examine the testimony of
the witnesses and learn how Seta
spent the last hours of her life, it
becomes uncomfortably clear that a
grave injustice was done to Seta by
terminating the inquiry into her
death.

At 1:30 p.m. an ambulance, re-
sponding to an anonymous phone
call, arrived at the Motel 6 where
attendants found the naked body of
Seta Rampersad. The medical ex-
aminer, the first person to see the
body, listed "possible homicide" as
the cause of death at anywhere
from 10 to 12 hours prior to 1:30
p.m. The determination of the time
of death is extremely significant in
this case, for the three people who
were with Seta during the hours be-
fore her death claimed that she was
alive when they last saw her at
12:30 p.m. This time discrepancy
was not cleared up by the inquest.

In addition, the police department

tained most of the information we
have of what happened to Seta in
the motel room. It is very important
to note that each of these major wit-
nesses gave very different versions
of what happened that night. Yet
during the inquest the judge never
questioned the witnesses on why
their stories did not coincide. What
follows is a brief summary of the
events which led to Seta's death, as
accurately as could be determined
from the fragmented and often con-
flicting testimony of the three wit-
nesses.

On the night of her death, Seta
was working as a waitress at the
Captain's Table in Northampton. Se-
ta's financial aid had been cut in
half, making it necessary for her to
work in order to finance her educa-
tion. Since she did not have a car,
she had to rely on other people for
rides at home at 1 or 2 a.m.

Jimmy, Carol and Brian were at
Captain's Table around closing time
September 13. Evidently, Jimmy of-
fered Seta ride home. The four then
drove to the Castaway's for a few
drinks after hours. It is not clear
whether the four were alone in the
bar. We have reason to believe that

investigation was not followed up by
either the judge or the D.A. Accord-
ing to official reports, these people
were not even contacted to discover
if they had information pertinent to
the case.

From the bar, the four preceded
to a room at the Motel 6 to continue
their party. Again it is not clear
whether they were the only ones to
enter the motel room. No compative
tests were made of the fingerprints
found in the room with the prints of
the three people who claimed to
have been alone with Seta. The case
was closed without positively deter-
mining who was in the room that
night.

Shortly after arriving at the Motel,
the three testified that they "may"
have smoked marijuana and snorted
cocaine. No one seemed to recall
whether or not Seta had participat-
ed in using these drugs; the judge
apparently did not feel it was an im-
portant issue to pursue. The autopsy
did say that many drugs are undec-
table in a normal autopsy, and the
more extensive tests could detect if
these drugs if were warranted. No
such tests were performed.

Some time after their arrival at

Deatli in Deerf ield

and the District Attorney contended
from the very beginning that they
believed the death to have been a
natural, peaceful one, with no signs
of violence on Seta's body. Howev-
er, both the medical examiner and
the members of Seta's family who
viewed the body the next day noted
that there were scratches and
bruises around Seta's mouth. Yet
despite the opinion of Dr. Olsen, who
termed the death a possible homi-
cide and despite the obvious bruises
on Seta's face, the D.A. continued to
claim that the death was peaceful.

Within the first 24 hours after Se-
ta's body was found, the police lo-
cated the man who had placed the
anonymous phone call for the ambu-
lance, along with two other individ-
uals who had been with Seta on the
morning of her death. The three
people to last see Seta alive were
Brian Pitzer, a former psychiatric
nursing assistant, Carol Newton, a
hospital cook, and De'metrious Kon-
stanlopulos, better known as "Jim-
my the Greek", the owner of the
Castaway's Lounge in Whately.

It was through the testimony of
these three witnesses that we (The
Committee Against Repression) ob-

there were other people involved in
this after hours party who were not
mentioned during the inquest. We
have received many phone calls and
letters from concerned citizens who
say they know of several business-
men and politicians who were there.
Consistently, the same five names
were mentioned. Yet this avenue of

the motel, Carol testified that Jim-
my began slapping Seta across the
face, frustrated because he couldn't
wake her. Her limbs were trembling
and she was unconscious. This is the
first of three seizures the witnesses
claimed she suffered. Seta had no
medical history of any type of sei-
zures. After the second or third sei-

15, 1979 rally

zure, Jimmy gave Seta a cold show-
er while she was unconscious. The
possibility of death by drowning was
not ruled out by the medical examin-
er, but this line of questioning was
not pursued during the inquest.

As Jimmy carried Seta from the
shower to the bed, he dropped her
on her head and back. After being
placed in the bed. Seta suffered an-
other seizure which was so severe
that Jimmy and Carol placed a
spoon in her mouth to prevent her
from swallowing her tongue.

At approximately 6 a.m., Jimmy
and Carol went out to breakfast,
leaving Brian with Seta. Brian testi-
fied that during this time he checked
her pulse several times and that she
was still alive yet unconscious, and
had now been in that condition for
about five hours. When first ques-
tioned, Brian said he was alone with
Seta until 12:30, when her condition
suddenly took a turn for the worse,
at which point he finally called an
ambulance. However, further ques-
tioning revealed that he was in fact
not alone — he called a friend who
was a nurse to come and look at
Seta. The nurse arrived at 12 noon
and testified that Seta was still alive
at this time, but that he suggested
to Brian that he should call an ambu-
lance. His allegation that Seta was
still alive at noon is a direct contra-
diction of the statement of Dr. 01-
sen, who placed the time of death
10 to 12 hours earlier. Yet again, the
judge did not deem it necessary to
investigate this time discrepancy.

Brian deserted Seta at 12:30 and
she was found an hour later, dead
and alone. The Committee against
Repression, a multi-racial group
consisting of both working people
and students, and the Third World
Women's Task Force worked exten-
sively since the inquest to force
Franklin-Hampshire County D.A.
Thomas Simons to re-open the
Rampersad case. It is our feeling
that many prominent people would
be implicated if the whole story were
revealed and that this is why the
case was closed, despite the many
unanswered questions. A letter was
sent in May to D.A. Simons which
contained the names of five individ-
uals who have consistently been
mentioned as having attended the
party on the night of Seta's death.
Simons refused to act on this infor-
mation, saying he would work only
with "facts" and not with mere "ru-
mor and speculation." Yet it is his
duty to investigate and gather con-
crete evidence — we do not have

detectives to do this. This is why Mr.
Simons was elected to his office. We
made no accusations against those
five people; we merely brought to
his attention a line of inquiry which,
in the opinion of many concerned
members of his constituency, was
insufficiently covered by the in-
quest.

It should also be remembered that
Seta was a black woman, the daugh-
ter of working class people who did
not have the money to hire attor-
nies, nor the political influence to in-
sure that the D.A. would look after
their interests.

Seta's case is not an isolated inci-
dent of violence against Third World
people in Amherst and in Boston.
One only has to look at the unex-
plained death (termed suicide by au-
thorities) of Jose Pontes at UMass
or the 10 murders of black women in
Boston to realize that this is true.
The legalities which obscured the
death of Seta Rampersad worked
most viciously against Third World
and working people. However, the
fact that an individual is not a Third
World person does not make one
exempt from such devouring injus-

Take Back the Night

tices of the judicial/legal machine.
What has happened to Seta Ramper-
sad is a possibility that confronts us
all.

On May 15, 1979, a rally was held
in front of the Court House in North-
ampton to present to the D.A. peti-
tions containing the names of about
2,000 people who feel that the Ram-
persad case should be re-opened.
The rally was attended by over 150
people. At this writing. May 1979,
the D.A. has refused to re-open the
case, despite the large amount of
public support being generated by
the Committee Agains Repression
and the Third World Women's Task
Force. We will continue our struggle,
a struggle for people's justice. A
commemoration of Seta's death in
September and a meeting with state
Attorney General Frank Bellotti was
planned for the future.

Chanting slogans such as "Yes,
that's right; we're taking back the
night," UMass and area women
marched once in the fall of 1978 and
again in spring 1979 to protest vio-
lence against women.

The marches were similar to hun-
dreds of "Take Back the Night"
marches organized internationally in
major cities and on college cam-
puses.

The marches were designed to
symbolize a woman's right to walk
alone at night without fear. Both the
November 18 march through down-
town Northampton and the May 3
march through Amherst center and
the UMass campus wound through
dimly lit streets and areas where
rapes were reported.

Organizers of these and similar
marches asked men not to march
but to show their support by lining
the streetsides in a candlelight vigil.

Over 2,500 women and about 500
men demonstrated in the North-
ampton streets while over 1,000
women marched and about 100
men stood in the rain from the Am-
herst Common to the UMass Stu-

dent Union building.

Eggs were thrown at the demon-
straters in Northampton, and water
balloons were thrown during the
spring march from the vicinity of a
UMass fraternity.

Reactions to both marches were
mixed. Both men and women said
they questioned the effect of the
march in preventing violence against
women, but others said publicizing a
once forbidden subject makes peo-
ple aware that violence against
women is not uncommon. More
awareness, rape counselors said,
will increase safety precautions and
reportage of rape, sexual harrass-
ment and wife-beating. In 1978 the
FBI estimated that only one in 10
rapes is reported.

One of the changes called for by
march organizers was improved
lighting on campus, yet physical
plant officials said there was not
enough money for additional light-
ing. And in 1979, several rapes were
reported in dimly lit parking lots and
walkways on campus, where march-
ers shouted "A woman was raped
here, and I won't be next."

Interregnum Regnum

From the balcony of Saint Peter's
Basilica, on Oct. 16, 1978, the news
was announced that John Paul II had
been elected by the College of Car-
dinals of the Roman Catholic
Church.

Reacting to the news from Rome
that the second pope in 54 days and
the first non-Italian to be chosen in
456 years, historians sharpened
their quills.

For Karol Wojtyia, life in Poland
was hard. His mother died when he
was nine, and he was brought up by
his father, who subsisted for the
most part on army sergeant's pen-
sion. Though many Cardinals and
Popes have been trained from early
youth in the hothouse atmosphere
of minor seminaries, Wojtyia went to
an ordinary high school. While he at-
tended Mass each morning and
headed a religious society, he had
equally strong adolescent passions
for literature and the theater. He
was the producer and lead actor in a
school troupe that toured south-
eastern Poland doing Shakespeare
and modern plays.

The Nazi occupation of Poland
closed the Jagiellonian University of
Cracow, where the young Karol Woj-
tyia had begun to study philology.
He spent World War II working in a
stone quarry and a chemical fac-
tory. A devout tailor interested him
in the writings of the 16th century
Spanish Carmelite mystic, St. John
of the Cross, and in 1942, the year
after his father died, he decided to
begin studies for the priesthood at
an illegal underground seminary.
While that was risky enough, Wojtyia
also became active in the anti-Nazi
resistance. A high school classmate,
Jerzy Zubzycki, now a sociology pro-
fessor at the Australian National Uni-
versity of Canberra, said of those
years: "He lived in danger daily of
losing his life. He would move about
the occupied cities taking Jewish
families out of the ghettos, finding
them new identities and hiding
places. He saved the lives of many
families threatened with execution."
At the same time he helped organize
and act in the underground "Rhap-
sody Theater," whose anti-Nazi and
patriotic dramas boosted Polish mo-
rale.

In 1946, the Pope-to-be was or-
dained a priest, just as the Soviet-
backed Communist Party was begin-
ning to smother all opposition. After
completing two years of doctoral

work in philosophy at Rome's Pon-
tifical Angelicum University, he re-
turned to Poland as a parish priest
and student chaplain. Later, in
1954, he began teaching at the
Catholic University of Lublin, the
only Catholic center of higher edu-
cation in any communist country,
and soon became the head of the
ethics department. He was appoint-
ed auxiliary bishop a few years later,
and in 1962, at the age of 42, he was
elevated to the post of Archbishop
of Cracow. He first established the
international regard and contacts
that were to make him Pope during
the Second Vatican Council (1962-
1965). During the Council he made
eight speeches, the most memora-
ble in favor of religious liberty.
Church honors followed a Cardinal's
red hat in 1967, election as one of
three Europeans on the council of
the world's bishop's council in 1974,
and an invitation to conduct the Len-
ten retreat for Pope Paul Vl's house-
hold in 1976.

At home in Poland, Karol Wojtyia
is considered to be a resilient enemy
of Communism and a threatening
figure to the party as a powerful
preacher, and intellectual with a
reputation for defeating the Marx-
ists in dialogue, and a churchman
enormously popular among younger
Poles and laborers. Before his elec-
tion to the papacy, it was widely ex-
pected that the regime would exer-
cise its veto power to block him
from succeeding Cardinal Stefan
Wyszynski as Primate, the leading
figure of the Church in Poland.

Wojtyia has written four books and
more than 500 essays and articles.
A Polish publisher is planning to put
out a thin volume of his poetry on
the theme of the fatherland. In the
area of philosophy, the Pope is an
expert in phenomenology, a theory
of knowledge that bases scientific
objectivity upon the unique nature
of subjective human perception. He
has written a major work on it, PER-
SON AND ACT (1969), which is being
translated into English. Summarizing
the Pope's complex thought, Anna-
Teresa Tymieniecka, a Pole who
heads the Institute for Advanced
Phenomenological Research, said:
"He stresses the irreducible value of
the human person. He finds a spiri-
tual dimension in human interaction,
and that leads him to a profoundly
humanistic conception of society."
^The new Pope is known as a

staunch conservative on specific is-
sues of doctrine, morality and
Church authority. On the birth con-
trol issue, he went on record against
all artificial methods in his book,
LOVE AND RESPONSIBILITY (I960),
before Paul VI took the same posi-
tion in his much attacked HUMANAE
VITAE encyclical (letter to all the
churches) of 1968. But the book
also emphasized the personal love
relationship of the married couple,
in all its dimensions, an advanced
view for a pre-Vatican II archbishop.

Wojtyia wrote in 1977 that Jesus
Christ is "a reproach to the affluent
consumer society . . . The great pov-
erty of people, especially in the
Third World — hunger, economic
exploitation, colonialism — all these
signify an opposition to Christ by the
powerful." When asked on West Ger-
man TV in 1977 whether Marxism
could be reconciled with Christinity,
Wojtyia replied bluntly: "This is a
curious question. One cannot be a
Christian and a materialist; one can-
not be a believer and an atheist."

As the Communist attitude of
mind has pervaded his world, people
might expect of him a somewhat rig-
id response, theological conserva-
tion and intransigeance. Theological
development does not thrive under
conditions of siege, but there is
nothing to suggest that personal ex-
perience such as his — steeped as it
is in personal suffering — will stamp
out theological enquiry where it is
most needed. In his first sermon as
Pope, John Paul subtly outlined his
objectives: "The absolute and yet
gentle power of the Lord corre-
sponds to the whole depth of the
human person, to the loftiest aspira-
tions of intellect, will, and heart,
does not speak the language of force
and expresses itself in charity and
truth .. "

Red Sox
1978

The record shows that the
Boston Red Sox lost the pen-
nant in 1978. Numerous rea-
sons could account for their
failure. Some will think, at one
time or another, that the Sep-
tember Slide was caused by 1)
the manager, 2) lack of hitting,

3) lack of consistent pitching,

4) Hobson's Horrors, 5) injur-
ies, 6) the absence of the mir-
acle worker Bernie Carbo, 7)
pressure from outside sources
or, 8) the New York Yankees,
who happened to play better
ball when it counted most.

For the first half of the sea-
son the Sox played extremely
well. The pitching staff which
had been subject to daily spec-
ulation in pre-season by the
media carried the team. And
the hitters exceeded every-
one's expectations, led by Jim
Rice.

At the All-Star break the Sox
were in a commanding lead.
Since no team had ever come
back and won a pennant after
being down eight games at the
break, the Red Sox seemed the
heirs to this year's flag.

But after the All-Star game,
strange creatures could be
seen in uniform. Practically
overnight the manager turned
gerbil, the first baseman bal-
looned out fo proportion from
a diet of pepperoni pizzas, and
a Spaceman crashed into the
Boston bullpen, which, from
that day on, was enveloped in a
cloud of smoke.

Along with these additions a
contagious myopia spread
through the team. It seemed
everyone was affected. Not
only did it affect the Sox' field-
ing and batting, but the myste-
rious disease blinded the Sox
off the field when they read the
American League standings.
They couldn't see the Yankees
slowly creeping, gaining ground
on them.

The culmination of all this
came on October 2. The Yan-
kees edged the Sox in the
standings, and the scramble
was on. Art Simas

the state of Massachusetts in recent history
to lose an election in office. Edward J. King,
formerly of the Massachusetts Port Author-
ity, defeated the former governor in the
Democratic primaries in November and went
on to win the state election in November
against Francis W. Hatch of Beverly.

Discovering a $450 million deficit, he in-
creased sales and income taxes after promis-
ing not to increase taxes during his campaign.
The state employees were not granted a pay
raise, and social services were trimmed by
the governor, upsetting the liberals of the
state.

Edward Broke's renomination for the Unit-
ed States Senate against Avi Nelson of Brook-
line, a local radio personality, created a prob-
lem for incumbent governor Dukakis. Brooke
ran into trouble with his own party over his
support of the Panama Canal Treaty, his posi-
tive position for federally financed abortions
for poor women, and the divorce suit with his
ex-wife Regina. Liberal Democrats supported
the incumbent senator while opposing Nel-
son, who was in favor of anti-bussing and anti-
taxing legislation.

A total of 30,000 people voted in the G.O.P.
primary, many of them Democrats who
switched their party to support Brooke. In all,
approximately 270,000 people voted in the
1979 primary election. Though Brooke won
over Nelson in a 6 percent margin, Brooke
lost to U.S. Representative Paul Tsongas
from Lowell in the general election.

Since the Democrats who supported
Brooke left the party, the support for Dukakis
was heavily damaged. Former mayor of Cam-
bridge. Barbara Ackerman received 2% of the
vote, Dukakis 47%, and King 51%.

Francis W. Hatch of Beverly won the prima-

ry election over Edward F. King in the Republi-
can election, only to be defeated by King in
the general election. Hatch received 208,387
votes to King's 247,660 votes. The former
football player scored better in some Massa-
chusetts areas, but was behind where the
Democrats were strong four years ago, espe-
cially in Western Massachusetts and the Five
College area.

Since Proposition 13 had passed a few
months earlier in California, the conservative
ideals in America blossomed, with Massachu-
setts in the front lines. King ordered a hiring
freeze on all public agencies, including
UMass. The guidelines specified that no posi-
tions, transfers, or reinstatements, as well as
initial openings.

The University had a committment to the
students to hire more faculty when necessary
for discussion classes, and the students em-
phasized their rights to receive a proper edu-
cation. The freeze was owed to agency bud-
get cuts.

During the opening months of King's ad-
ministration, several of his major decisions
backfired. Four men appointed by King were
forced to resign. One was tied to the Mafia,
another dealt with Union funds, causing a
conflict of interest. A third associated with a
lawyer convicted of fraud and arson, while
the fourth was forced to resign due to fraudu-
lent degrees from prestigious European uni-
versities when he was actually a high school
drop out.

Twice, the Governor shot down a 6% in-
crease in cost of living funds to AFDC families
(Aid to Families with Dependent Children),
only to pass an overdue increase of 7% in
August of 1979. During King's moves toward
the AFDC increase, the Governor's Commis-
sion on the Status of Women voiced opposi-
tion to King's measure on the cost of living
increase. King turned around and fired the

Dukakis-appointed forty member committee,
replacing them with anti-ERA, anti-abortion
conservatives.

But in April, Governor King was scheduled
to meet students at UMass. "The Costs of
Quality Education", a panel discussion spon-
sored by the UMass School of Education was
a part of the week's education forum. Howev-
er, the Governor made his journey to North-
ampton instead, to visit Leed's Dam. King was
quoted as saying he feared that he might
have a pie or other debris thrown at him and
his staff.

The majority of students at the University

feel that the Governor is much too conserva-
tive in his view, thereby affecting the quality
of education. After all, if the University of
Massachusetts is managed by the State,
should not the State take pride in its facilities
and not cater to the private universities in the
area? This is one question the Governor and
his administration should look into, for if the
Governor says, "Everything I'm for, the peo-
ple are for," then the Governor should re-
evaluate his position on several issues and
not just the issues of his close business asso-
ciates.

"The Duke'

King Calls the Shots

Of all the news events during the
1978-79 year, none sparked as
much interest on the UMass campus
as the raise of the legal drinking age.
What began as campaign promise of
Governor Edward King turned into a
reality as the bill to raise the drinking
age quietly appeared in the Boston
Statehouse. Students across the
state quickly mobilized to protect
their common form of entertain-
ment. Various measures were intro-
duced that would have raised the
age from 18 to 19, or from 18 to 19,
then to 20 and then to 21. In the
midst of the controversy, four teen-
age girls were killed in a town out-
side of Boston when the car one of
them was driving crashed. The alco-
hol level in the 17-year-old driver's
blood was the highest ever recorded
in the state, as proponents of the
raise were quick to point out. Fac-
tors in the incident that were conve-
niently ignored were that the girl's
older sister bought the excessive
amounts of liquor and that the girl
had been stopped for drunk driving
once before, but had her license re-
stored. Persons against the increase
said it is the parent's responsibility
to monitor the behavior of their chil-
dren, and the state's responsibility
to create stiffer penalties for drunk
driving and provide more education
about alcohol use and abuse.

The controversy reached a zenith
when the perpetrator of the bill.
King, was invited to speak on cam-
pus during an educational forum. At
the last minute the governor opted
to visit a dam in Northampton in-
stead, because, he told a reporter.

Remember Who in '82

Boston, March 8 — Gov. King holds up drinking age bill after signing

it into law at the Statehouse. The bill raised the drinking age in

Massachusetts to 20-years-old, effective in April.

"We didn't want to get pie on our
suits."

Demonstrations on campus and in
Boston proved fruitless, and on April
16, 1979, a 20-year-old drinking age
went into effect. The effect on traffic
fatalities, which the increase was
supposed to prevent, was not known
but the increase had obvious effect
on campus bars. Splits between low-
er and upper classmen were predict-
ed, as well as increased drinking in
the dormitories. Under-age students
left campus in May thinking of ways
to obtain fake I.D.s

Mid-Air Crash

A light plane flown by a student
pilot collided with a commercial jet-
liner 3,000 feet above San Diego's
Lindberg Field September 25th,
sending both crafts crashing into a
fesidential area, it was America's
worst air disaster.

One hundred and fifty people were
killed, including all 136 people
aboard the Pacific Southwest Air-
lines jet, the student pilot of the
Cessna 172, his instructor, and 13
people on the ground.

The planes collided about 9 a.m.
PDT and plunged to the ground,
smashing through a dozen homes in
a quiet residential neighborhood five
miles from the airport.

Guyana

The vat of death sits on a plank walkway at the People's Temple in Jonestown, Guyana, vith the
bodies of some of the more than 900 victims of the murder-suicide plot on the ground. The vat
contained an ade drink laced with cyanide.

In what was possibly the largest
recorded mass suicide in history,
913 members of the People's Tem-
ple, a religious cult, followed the or-
ders of would-be messiah Reverend
Jim Jones and drank from a vat con-
taining cyanide laced Kool-Ade.

Jones, who shot himself after his
followers drank the poison both will-
ingly and unwillingly, apparently felt
threatened by the visit of Congress-
man Leo J. Ryan to Guyana. Ryan
was investigating reports of abuses
of cult members. Ryan and four
companions were ambushed and
killed as they attempted to leave
Jonestown.

Jones had promised his followers
a "close big family that transcended
both race and class barriers and
lived in a celebration of God while
working to transform society."
Jones and his "family" lived in the
South American jungle on a com-
mune, where they raised most of
their food themselves.

Jones was alleged to have abused
many cult members sexually, men-
tally and physically. Some cult mern-
bers who refused to drink the poison
were held as it was poured down
their throats or shot to death.

The incident spurned a rash of
books on the atrocity as well as new
investigations into existing cults and
articles on the psychology behind
cults.

Black History Week

A people's history cannot be sole-
ly presented as an academic en-
deavor. It is a living account that not
only narrates past events but rein-
forces feelings of self-worth. It pro-
vides a context wherein people see
themselves as makers of history.
The academic acceptance of Black
Studies cannot in and of itself pro-
vide this crucial ingredient.

The institution itself must recog-
nize its responsibility for hundreds of
years of neglect towards a people
that have contributed so much to
the development of civilization and
culture.

American educators pride them-
selves and their "institutions of high-
er learning" with creating the best
education that the world has to of-
fer. Despite the supposed great
strides made since the 1785 Com-
mon School system, the 1862 Mor-
rill Land Grant Act (which helped es-
tablish the Massachusetts Agricul-
tural College, now UMass, and the
1954 court case Brown vs. Board of
Education, American education so-
cializes all who are under its influ-
ence to think as Europeans. Their
curriculums are designed to create
"productive" members of the "free
enterprise system" in the European
tradition.

For the supposed minority popula-
tions in this country, however, the
overriding need is to recover from
their education.

To offset the self-destructive ef-
fect on blacks in educational institu-
tions, black instructors were forced
to implement Black History Week.

Black History Week was not new.

Queen Mother Moore

The need to re-educate blacks to the
feelings of self-worth were recog-
nized decades ago. In 1915 the au-
thor of The Miseducation of the Ne-
gro, Carter G. Woodson, created the
Association for the Study of Negro
Life and History. By 1926 he estab-
lished Negro History week. He was
not alone in this endeavor. Arthur
Schomburg, a black Puerto Rican
who came to the U.S. in 1896 and
was a regular lecturer for the Univer-
sal Negro Improvement Association,
founded the Negro Society for His-
torical Research. He also estab-
lished the Schomburg Collection of
Negro Literature and History,
opened at Fisk University in 1926.

In the spirit of this tradition, the
Afrikan-American Students Associ-
ation at UMass sponsored Black His-
tory month. The concern of the
Afro-Am society was with history as
a living science and presented those
who lived it from every medium
within our reach. Victor Goode of
the National Conference of Black
Lawyers reviewed the long history of
legal lynching that has gone on, de
spite the supposed safeguards of
the constitution.

Ruby Dee and Ozzie Davis utilized
the medium of poetry and stories to
convey the pleasures and pitfalls of
black life in America. New education-
al systems were reviewed by Profes-
sor Hetty Fox of New York, while Na-
home Nahaliel of Chicago lectured
on the principles upon which rela-
tionships operate. Black historical
tradition was further enhanced by
the arts, with a concert by UMass

Professor Archie Shepp, while our
experiences were masterfully con-
veyed through dance by Patti O'N-
eal's Dusk Dance Ensemble and Eno
D. Washington's Dance Company,
featuring Pan-Afrikan dance forms.
Black History Month is a people's
memory — racism in this country
has caused millions to lose the
knowledge of a great past. Without
that knowledge, an intelligent
course for the future cannot be
charted. Black History Month is a
moderate medicine for an extreme
illness — racism and Eurocentric
education. For those who can boldly
plot the future, the mandate is clear:
educate with the truth or be inun-
dated by the lie.

Divest!

Early in the spring semester, a ral-
ly involving about a third of the stu-
dent population at Hampshire Col-
lege took place, which ultimately
forced the Board of Trustees to redi-
vest, since the college had divested
stock in corporations doing business
in South Africa, only to reinvest lat-

"7%
Solution"

In the fall of 1978, with inflation
threatening to run him out of office,
President Jimmy Carter decided to
fight back. He announced a volun-
tary government program designed
to slow down inflation by limiting
wage and price increases.

Wage raises were to be held to
seven percent per year and prices
were not to exceed the average of
price increases over the past two
years, a figure the government esti-
mated at roughly 5.7%. Companies
granting larger pay increases or rais-
ing prices beyond the guidelines
were supposed to lose government
contracts. It didn't work.

Carter's "7% solution" was at-
tacked by labor, which objected to
government interference in collec-
tive bargaining, particularly when it
became evident that businesses
were ignoring the price guidelines
without penalty, yet using the wage

er.

At Amherst College in the fall of
1978, a large rally took place in front
of the Black Cultural Center where a
meeting of the Board of Trustees
was going on. In spite of a number of
workshops, educational forums and
speakers, all of whom urged Am-
herst College to divest, the trustees
did not deem the issue important
enough for them to include it as an
item on their agenda. Hence, it was
not the cross-burning provocation
alone that subsequently precipitat-
ed the take-over of the administra-
tion building in the spirng, but also
frustration on the part of organizers
and students. Frustration which re-
sulted from the stubborn attitude of
the administration in light of strong
demands by students that the col-
lege divest more than $20 million in
stocks.

Similar views were expressed by a
large segment of the student popu-
lations at Mt. Holyoke and Smith
Colleges, whose combined invest-
ments totaled at least $50 million.

The culminating event for the
work done by the Southern Africa
Liberation Support Committees of
the various colleges was the South
Africa Action Week, which started on
April 4, continued for two weeks and
featured a rally with speakers such
as Prexy Nesbitt, Sean Gevarsi and
U.S. Senator Paul Tsongas, and oth-

guidelines in an attempt to force un-
ions to settle within the wage guide-
lines.

Meanwhile, every month brought
a report of the rising cost of living,
followed by a report of a drop in
Carter's popularity amongst Ameri-
can voters. Massachusetts Senator
Edward Kennedy fueled the fire un-
der Carter when he suggested in De-
cember that the future of Carter and
the Democratic Party was pegged to
inflation and economic stability.

The situation really heated up in
the Spring as the expiration of major
industrial contracts drew near. The
Oil Chemical and Atomic Workers In-
ternational Union was the first major
union to bargain on a national basis
under the guidelines. Surprisingly,
they settled within the guidelines.

But February brought further re-
ports of inflation, the worst since the
1974 recession, and although the
White House refused to publicly
agree, private economists began
predicting a recession.

Inflation was not the only thing ris-
ing. The Commerce Department re-
leased figures showing that corpo-

ers, all of whom strongly urged di-
vestiture.

During the year the movement
gained momentum, involving more
and more students. More action was
planned to be directed in particular
against Amherst, Smith and Mt. Ho-
lyoke colleges.

It was also important that South
Africa Week of Action coincided with
a week commemorating Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr., and that both
events were jointly organized. The
organizers made a link between ra-
cial oppression and economic ex-
ploitation in the United States and
Southern Africa.

One example of this link is that
many economic institutions such as
banks and multi-national corpora-
tions that take advantae of legal
slave labor in Southern Africa, have
for years fought unionization and
have relined certain urban areas in
the U.S., particularly black and His-
panic neighborhoods. Evidence has
shown (even by the admission of
such important officials as former
U.S. Ambassador to South Africa,
Bowdler) that these economic ven-
tures into South Africa strengthen,
rather than weaken, the hand of
facisim and racism in that country.
They do virtually nothing to alleviate
the economic and political plight of
the black majority.

Bheki Langa

rate profits had jumped to 9.7 per-
cent in the fourth quarter of 1978.
This supported labor's charge that
big business was cheating on the
guidelines. AFL-CIO leader George
Meany called it "the grossest dem-
onstration of profit-gouging since
the opening days of the Korean
War."

The government's Council on
Wage and Price Stability had written
the price guidelines loosely, allowing
most companies to find a way to
evade them. The director of the
council, Barry Bosworth, concluded,
"We were suckered."

When even the government began
to admit failure, Meany called for
mandatory price controls, or at least
an effective government program to
monitor prices. Carter responded by
asking for union help in monitoring
prices, and "Operation Price
Watch" was born.

A stillbirth; no one has heard of it
since.

Despite widespread union scepti-
cism of the program, inflation czar
Alfred Kahn reported that 90 per-
cent of contracts covering 1 ,000 or

more workers had so far complied
with the 7 percent guideline. "The
question is how long we can expect
labor to stay in line," he said.

He didn't have to wait long to find
out as the Teamsters Union began
nationwide negotiations with the
trucking industry. Teamster Presi-
dent Frank Fitzsimmons stated pub-
licly that high corporate profits
made it unfair to ask his members to
settle within the guidelines.

The White House, aware that this
was the first major test of the wage
guidelines whose outcome was likely
to affect the settlements of airline
mechanics, electrical workers, rub-
ber and auto workers, warned that it
would seek deregulation of the
trucking industry if the guidelines
were exceeded. Deregulation would
increase competition, possibly af-
fecting the security of union mem-
bers.

Although the government relaxed
this stance somewhat and indicated
it would accept a settlement slightly
higher than seven percent, talks
broke down over the cost of living
adjustment. A ten day strike fol-
lowed. The union called a selective

strike against 73 of the biggest com-
panies, but management responded
with a lock-out, shutting down 500
companies.

The effects of the strike spread to
the auto industry, particularly
Chrysler, which laid off 84,000 work-

ers. Autoworkers, however, were
pleased to see a challenge to the
guidelines coming before their own
summer contract talks.

The Teamsters ended the strike
agreeing to a contract giving mem-
bers an increase of at least 27 per-
cent over three years. In what was
viewed as an effort to save face, the
White House praised the settlement.
Alfred Kahn called it "an important
contribution to controlling infla-
tion."

Yet inflation continued at a rate of
15 percent per year; no company
ever lost a government contract for
exceeding the guidelines. Carter's
popularity continued to drop, and
speculation about having another
Kennedy in the White House grew.

Sadat talks...

Begin talks...

PEACE TALKS...

The grueling, bitter, antagonistic
relationship between Israel and
Egypt which has lasted for three
decades has now diplomatically end-
ed with the signing of the elusive
peace treaty which will establish
"normal and friendly" relations be-
tween the two countries in the near
future.

The path to this historically signifi-
cant agreement began in November
1977 with Egyptian President Anwar
Sadat's unexpected visit to Jerusa-
lem in hopes of settling Mid-East
tensions. But the rising hopes of No-
vember faded with time and the rift
between the nations was once again
established.

A stalemate on "critical" issues
was implanted, neither side wishing
to probe action toward normative
relations because everyone felt justi-
fied in their stands. A move by Israel

seemed appropriate because of Sa-
dat's initiative but Israel remained
firm to its constituents and stayed
neutral. Sometimes the differenced
heated up and verbal bickering by
both parties, each blaming the other
for the breakdown, often occurred
in the press.

As time and hope of a quick settle-
ment vanished, the U.S. sought
measures to bring the two parties
back together. An invitation to a
summit meeting at Camp David was
extended to Israel and Egypt by
President Jimmy Carter in August
1978 with the meetings to be held in
September. Admittedly, the U.S. ad-
ministration held little hope for an
overall settlement, but a "frame-
work" for peace was the ideal objec-
tive.

The main issues revolved around
the West Bank of Israel, a region

populated by Palestinians and con-
trolled by Jordon before the Israe-
lies seized it during the 1967 war,
and the political destiny for the Pal-
estinians, who wished an autono-
mous state and who occupied the
region. Sadat demanded the return
of all territory while Menachem Be-
gin, Prime Minister of Israel, re-
mained adamant in not releasing all
territory for security reasons.

In the waning hours of the sched-
uled 13 day conference, conces-
sions were granted by Sadat and Be-
gin allowing a positive step for alle-
viation of basic differences, and
open communication. Both parties
praised the work of Carter in forcing
the issue of peace by setting the
"framework." Under it, the parties
agreed to: exercise Egyptian sover-
eignty up to the recognized border;
have Israel to withdraw from the

Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime
Minister Menachem Begin embrace as President Carter
applauds during a White House announcement that the
two Middle East nations had agreed on the Camp David

agreement. (UPI)

Sinai; have a joint meeting between
Israel, Egypt and Jordan to deter-
mine the future of the West Bank
and Gaza Strip self-rule with the
eventual withdrawl of Israeli armed
forces after five years and other
stipulations concerning Egypt and Is-
rael.

Arab reaction in Syria, Libya, Alge-
ria, South Yemen and from the Pal-
estinian Liberation Organization
strongly denounced the agreements
calling them "a stab in the heart of
the Arab nation and a flagrant devi-
ation from the common Arab strate-
gy, a contradiction of Arab summit
resolutions and a denial of Palestin-
ian rights." Jordan expressed con-
cern saying "any peace which disre-
gards the Palestinians would be false
. . . with upheavals in the Arab
world."

At the time of the Camp David
signing, Israel had refused any deal-
ings with the PLO because Israel felt
that the organization was a terrorist
group not representative of the Pal-
estinian people.

This conflict of interest was a de-
terrent along with the question of
Israeli settlements in the West Bank,
and on the fate of Jerusalem. Only
three days after the "framework"
was signed. Begin answered that he
never promised Israeli withdrawal
from existing West Bank settlements
when the U.S. tried to pin him down
to the language written in the text of
the agreements.

The stage was again set for dis-
agreement, this time with linguistics
as a barrier.

The three month period within
which a formal peace agreement
was to be signed, passed. Israel's
stance on the West Bank settle-
ments disheartened Carter and
those who thought peace was so
near. On several occasions the talks
were running smoothly, according

to official comment, then were ab-
ruptly dismantled with each side
proclaiming "fundamental differ-
ences."

While this jockeying was taking
place, the Nobel Peace Prize was
awarded to Begin and Sadat in Octo-
ber.

While domestic problems mount-
ed with the montly inflation figures,
gas increases and a rapidly declining
popularity, Carter invited Begin to
join him and Prime Minister Mustafa
Khalil of Egypt to new negotiations in
February 1979. Begin rebuffed the
offer for new negotiations but did
say that he would talk with Carter.

At the meeting, Carter advanced
new proposals in a desperate effort
to salvage some type of accord be-
tween Egypt and Israel. Begin re-
mained open, saying negotiations
needed a revision and "I don't see
any tragedy in it . . . ultimately there
would be peace in the Mideast."

That peace was finally reached on
Monday March 26, 1979 after a bold
decision by Carter to visit the Mid-
east earlier in the month. The trip
was conceived after the Israeli cabi-
net approved suggestions Carter
made to Begin while he was in Wash-
ington. White House sources said
that the president's trip was "open-
ended so that the prospects for
peace do not dim and perhaps van-
ish." One diplomatic source
summed up the trip as "this last ar-
row in the president's quiver. He
better not miss."

Carter shuttled between Israel
and Egypt and persuaded Sadat and
Begin for a formal signing with the
approval of their countries' legisla-
tive bodies. The major elements in-
clude:

— a surrender of the entire Sinai
desert by Israel to Egypt, including
settlements.

— withdrawal of all military forces
and air bases from the Sinai within

three years and abandonment of El
Arish, the largest Arab city on the
Sinai within three months.

— establishment of the pre-1948
boundary lines with the fate of Gaza
to be determined in future negotia-
tions.

— normalized relations including
economic and cultural, with free-
dom of movement, an end to hostile
propaganda and the building of nor-
mal postal, telephone and highway
communications.

— exchange of ambassadors.

— agreements to set goals for the
completion of negotiations concern-
ing the West Bank and Gaza Strip
elections.

— agreement of Egypt to sell Israel
oil on non-discriminatory commer-
cial terms.

— a 15-year extension on guaran-
teed Israeli oil supplies to the U.S.

— establishment of negotiations for
the fate of the West Bank and Gaza .
although Israeli officials have indi-
cated they would continue building
of settlements.

The important Palestinian ques-
tion remains unresolved at this junc-
ture. Begin is still holding the line,
refusing to accept a Palestinian
state on Israel's border. And the
U.S. also does not recognize the
PLO as representatives of the Pales-
tinians until the PLO recognizes Isra-
el's right to exist and accepts the
United Nations Resolution declaring
that right. Further negotiations on
this sensitive issue are expected to
follow the Camp David framework.

The first visible sign of harmony
has been recorded through the ef-
forts of three nations. It is now the
option of Mideast negotiators and
leaders to implement that printed
document that calls for peace.

Peeking at Peking Pays Off

After 30 years of trying to isolate
the People's Republic of China, the
United States recognized that na-
tion of one-quarter of the world's
people by breaking its ties with the
Nationalist Chinese regime on
Taiwan and embracing mainland
China as a diplomatic partner in a
changing world.

The accomodation with the PRC
came only a few days before Christ-
mas 1978 with the recognition of
China by the US at the price of cut-
ting formal ties with the Nationalist
Chinese on Taiwan by abrogating its
24-year-old defense treaty.

Even though the recognition of
China had been inevitable since
Richard M. Nixon opened the door in
1972, the suddenness of the pre-
Christmas development caught the
world by surprise. The bitterness of
the island Chinese was expressed by
Tsai Wei-ping of Taiwan's Institute of
International Relations: "During his
campaign, Carter criticised Kis-
singer for his secret diplomacy. How
different is this - notifying our Presi-
dent (Chiang) eight hours before the
speech (by Carter announcing the
'normalization' of relations between
Red China and the US)?"

Another official told Newsweek's
Andrew Nagorski that "We don't un-
derstand you Americans. It seems
that if you can kill Americans - like
the Japanese, the Germans and the
Chinese did - then you can be their
friend."

At home, Sen. Barry Goldwater
accused Carter of committing "a
cowardly act" that "stabs in the
back the nation of Taiwan."

But most observers conceded
that in switching US recognition
from Taipei to Peking, Carter was
simply facing the reality that the is-
land republic would never rule the
mainland. And they consoled the
world with the statement that the
Red Chinese had agreed that Wash-
ington would not have to abrogate
its defense treaty with the island
Chinese for a year after normaliza-
tion.

This last had been the prime stum-
bling block to US recognition of Chi-
na.

The suddenness of the earth-shat-
tering development was explained
by the Monday-morning quarter-
backs as "The mid-term elections
were over. Congress was in recess,
and Carter was obviously presented
with an offer he couldn't refuse."

A China-watcher said that "The
Chinese knew that an agreement be-
tween us and the Soviet Union was
on the way, and they were faced
with a choice of making a move now
or sitting on the sidelines. The same
was true with us; we didn't want to
be moving more swiftly with Russia
(on SALT) than with China."

The accomodation which the two
countries reached provided for co-
operation in such fields as agricul-
ture, space, energy, medicine and

scholarly exchanges.

Plans included negotiations to
open US consulates in Canton and
Shanghai, San Francisco and one
other American city. With a cultural
agreement already in the works,
trade possibilities opened with a
plan to sell Peking a communica-
tions satellite to be launched by
NASA from the US, complete with
ground stations.

And while the politicians and ideal-
ists were shouting their reactions to
the surprise international political
coup of the year, American busi-
nessmen were quietly filling their
display cases and buying airline tick-
ets for Peking.

Before the end of the year, Coca-
Cola was flying the red and yellow
flag of the People's Republic of Chi-
na atop its Atlanta headquarters
building while Board Chairman J.
Paul Austin told a press conference
that Coke was going to China.

The timing of the China deal and
the normalization deal was coinci-
dental, Austin said. Coke officials
had been negotiating for ten years
for the exclusive rights to the cola
market in China.

It seemed only fair - after all, on
the heels of detente with the Soviet
Union, Pepsi Cola had already man-
aged an exclusive distribution deal
there in 1974.

Commonwealth vs. Chad's Cancer

A case of cancer that involves a
two-year-old boy, his 24-year-old
mom and 300 years of Common-
wealth law is still unresolved, but still
making periodical headlines.

It began in early 1978, when Mass.
General physicians discovered that
their oral chemotherapy treatments
had been stopped by Chad Green's
parentis. The hospital sued to win
state custody of the lad for "the
limited purpose of receiving chemo-
therapy." The Greens won in the
lower courts, but in August 1978 the
State Supreme Court ruled in the
hospital's favor. Even as the Greens
headed for the Federal courts with a
suit based on their belief that their
constitutional rights as parents were

being violated, the Greens fled to
Mexico to a laetrile clinic in Tijuana,
rather than obey a court order to
stop giving the unproven drug and
vitamins to their lukemia-stricken
son.

By early February 1979, a Plym-
outh, Mass., judge ordered their ar-
rest for "flouting the dignity of the
court." The warrants were issued to
force the Greens to return to court
and "show cause why they should
not be found in criminal contempt."
He also ordered warrants issued so
he could sentence them for civil
contempt.

Meanwhile, the Greens reported
from Mexico that their son was
flourishing under the alternative

treatment of vegetables, laetrile,
rest and prayer.

The Massachusetts court had ori-
ginally ordered the laetrile doses
stopped "because Chad was being
poisoned by cyanide," one ingredi-
ent of the controversial substance.

At press time, the Mexican stan-
doff persists; the warrants are in
force, the Greens remain south of
the border, where they can't be
served, and Chad is receiving illegal
treatment that his parents insist is
keeping him alive.

His mother says, "I'm directly in-
volved in a love situation."

Tlie Harrisburg Syndrome

Before March 29, 1979 the opin-
ion of the average non-technically
oriented person in the U.S. concern-
ing controversies of the "Atomic
Age" was seldom heard or recog-
nized by official sources. Debate pri-
or to that date usually hinged on the
"us vs. them" concept of nuclear
weapons proliferation. Nuclear pow-
er plant construction — although
perceived as a very real threat if one
was proposed in your backyard —
for the most part, did not evoke a
resounding emotional response, pro
or con. Proponents from both sides
had been existent since Hiroshima,
but the understanding of operations,
positive and negative side effects of
radiation and subsequent conse-
quences were known only to a hand-
ful of scientists and other techni-
cians. Other relative social, political
and economic events determined
the attention of the average citizen.

But national attention shifted to
the Three Mile Island nuclear facility
in Middletown, Pa. on March 29 and
weeks beyond, in what, for most
Americans, was an abrupt, personal
re-evaluation of U.S. committment
to future nuclear power generation.

The facility at Three Mile Island
included an 880 megawatt, highly
pressurized water reactor, a com-
plex and delicately balanced mecha-
nism. Its basic function was to cre-
ate a fission reaction with a neutron
from a source, usually uranium, to
collide with other fissionable nuclei,
thereby producing a self-sustaining
chain reaction. The heat generated
from this process was extracted by
water 600° F and under pressure of
2250 pounds per square inch to pro-
duce steam in a heat transfer sys-
tem which drove the turbine to gen-
erate electricity. The fuel elements
were compressed cylindrical pellets
of uranium oxide, 3/4 of an inch
long and 3/8 inch in diameter load-
ed into 12-foot long tubers of a zir-
conium alloy called cladding.

Condensed cooling water pumped
back through a primary loop to and
around the reactor core served as a
modertor of neutron speed and as a
coolant.

The chain reaction was controlled
by lowering control rods made of bo-
ron, which absorbed the neutrons,
into the reactor core. This delayed
the fissioning process.

Although this is a simplistic view,
and so far does not take into ac-
count the radiation emission factor,
the technology involved is intricate.

The accident at Three Mile Island
before dawn was triggered when a
main pump in the water system shut
down. That pump was supposed to
send water through the cooling sys-
tem. This stoppage in the flow sys-
tem between the reactor and tur-
bine caused heat and pressure to
increase. The cooling control rods
were lowered by the emergency sys-
tem, halting the heat generated
from fissioning. Also, back-up auxil-
liary pumps were activated by com-
puters to keep the water flowing.

Operators at the plant thought ev-
erything was under control, but in-
vestigators from the Nuclear Regu-
latory Commission found the valves
to the back-up pumps were closed
prematurely; no water was cooling
the reactor, as presumed — days
later.

Because the valves were closed,
water condensed from steam spilled
into a pressurized tank in the bot-
tom of the building. According to re-
ports compiled by the Los Angeles
Times, the operators were given
"erroneous information concerning
the water level in the pressurizer

"; at the same time the tops of

the fuel rods were exposed and
over-heated and their radioactive
components contaminated the cool-
ing water.

John G. Herbein, vice president of
operations of the Metropolitan Edi-
son Company, which operated the
plant, said that before the day end-
ed, "nearly 100,000 gallons of water
had spilled onto the cellar floor be-
neath the reactor.

As the water level rose, an auto-
matic sump pump was activated by
computer, transfering water to an
adjacent building, flooding it. There
a filtered ventilating system lifted
low-level radiation into the atmo-
sphere. Operators were not aware
that this was happening.

To relieve mounting pressure in
the containment building, steam
was purposely released into the at-
mosphere, spewing out more radi-
ation.

Residents of the area were not in-
formed until hours after the initial
accident, at about 4 a.m. Middle-

town Mayor Robert Reid, whose bur-
ough of 11,000 persons is three
miles away from the plant, said he
was alerted at 7:37 a.m. by civil de-
fense authorities, who confirmed
there had been an accident at the
plant but that things were under
control. However, Reid said, "it was
three and a half hours before I could
get a phone call through to Met Ed
to find out if we had a dangerous
situation."

Reports of radiation exposure re-
ceived by four employees were veri-
fied by power company officials. Ac-
cording to Herbein, "three of the
workers underwent an exposure of
three to three and a half rems of
gamma ray radiation, and a fourth
received about four rems."

A rem is a dose of radiation mea-
sured in people. Government safety
regulations stipulate an annual dos-
age of not more than five rems and
only three rems in any three month
period. The dosage the men re-
ceived was approximately equal to
50-66 chest X-rays absorbed at one
time.

A conflicting report from Three
Mile Island officials said "as many as
eight workers at the plant may have
experienced exposures from 0.5 to
1.0 rems."

Reports on March 30 in the Bos-
ton Globe and the New York Times
quoted Senator Gary Hart (D-Colo.),
Chairman of the Senate Public
Works Subcommittee on Nuclear
Regulation, who said the incident
was "the most serious accident in-
voving nuclear power generation in
the U.S."

Henry Kendal, a physics professor
at M.I.T. and director of the Union of
Concerned Scientists concurred
with Hart. "This is clearly the worst
accident in nuclear power."

But three radiation specialists said
that fears about the escape of radi-
ation were exaggerated. Professor
Richard Wilson of Harvard said "it's
unlikely to cause even one cancer
over anybody's lifetime in that
whole area." His view was support-
ed by Dr. Steven Gertz of Philadel-
phia and Dr. David Rose of M.I.T.

Just when plant officials thought
the danger had subsided, the forma-
tion of a hydrogen bubble formed
when coolant water came in direct
contact with damaged and over-

heated fuel rods. Officials were
afraid the bubble would prevent
cooling water from reaching some of
the undamaged fuel rods, causing
them to overheat and leak more ra-
dioactive gas.

Perhaps the biggest fear anyone
had during the crisis was of a "melt-
down." This would have occurred if
the reactor containment vessel,
which was cooled by water, was un-
able to contain the heat from caus-
ing a runaway nuclear chain reac-
tion, melting the reactor into the
gound. And in a case of life imitating
art, the nation knew the effects of a
meltdown from the movie "The Chi-
na Syndrome" which was released
about a month before the accident
at Three Mile Island.

Meanwhile, emergency evacua-
tion plans were drawn up by state
civil defense authorities for six coun-
ties — approximately 636,000 peo-
ple — if the situation worsened. Pri-
or to the official announcement on
April 2, pregnant women and pre-
school children were urged to leave
the area because they would be the
most affected by the radiation.
Schools within 10 miles of the plant
were closed and businesses report-
ed high absenteeism during the cri-
sis.

SCANN hits the Capitol

1978-79 was the third year of or-
ganized student anti-nuke activity at
UMass and was also the most suc-
cessful, largely as a result of the
awareness and concern stemming
from the accident at Three Mile Is-
land. In October of 1978, members
of the UMass Alternative Energy Co-
alition were at the fall congress of
the Clamshell Alliance, and got in-
volved with the Student Coalition
Against Nukes Nationwide. (SCANN)
The group tried to organize students
as part of the overall anti-nuke
movement.

In organizing SCANN, the group
tried to build a coalition to organize
students around the issues of nucle-
ar power and alternative energy.

The first major activity SCANN or-
ganized during the fall semester was
a teach-in to mark the fourth anni-
versary of the death of Karen Silk-
wood, the union activist and Kerr-
McGee employee who was killed by
the giant Oklahoma industrial con-
glomerate as she was trying to ex-
pose problems with their fuel rod as-
sembly, Plutonium contamination
and other problems at the nuclear
facility.

The teach-in drew about 100 peo-
ple. In addition, SCANN had a table
on the Campus Center concourse
throughout the year, showing video
tapes and providing literature for
students on nuclear power.

A number of UMass students who
were involved in the blockade of the
reactor pressure vessel for the Sea-
brook nuclear plant as it was driven
along routes 1 and 95 though New

Hampshire and Massachusetts,
were arrested.

SCANN had planned a demonstra-
tion against nuclear power before
the accident at Three Mile Island oc-
curred. The incident triggered mas-
sive response throughout the coun-
try and some 2,000 college students
and others marched to Boston to
present Governor Edward J. King
with a one-way ticket to Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania.

This demonstration was the first
student-led and organized march in
the 3-year history of the anti-nuke
movement. As the momentum sur-
rounding the incident at Three Mile
Island built, SCANN became in-
volved in planning for the May 6 anti-
nuke march in Washington, D.C. The
group also organized another teach-
in at UMass, as well as demonstrat-
ing at the Rowe Yankee Atomic, the
closest nuke plant to Amherst and
one of the oldest in the country.

But the largest turnout was for the
march on the capital. Eight bus
loads and over 50 cars went down to
D.C. from the Five-College area as
hunderds of students and others
from the community expressed
their anger and outrage at the gov-
ernment and corporate duplicity
around the issue of nuclear power.
As the semester drew to a close, the
group was planning for the next se-
mester. SCANN tried to bring home
to the campuses the truth of the
phrase, "Better active today than
radioactive tomorrow."

Th^^^^^^^^^pibf the school
year, ^^^^^^W^^'s 1978 best
picture award, "The Deer Hunter,"
showed that even if most of the
year's filnns were mindless wastes,
something special was about to oc-
cur.

When the fall semester began, we
were bored with summer remnants
of "Grease" but quickly joined "The
Rocky Horror PlGture Show" craze.
"Rocky Horror," a cult film through-
out the country's campuses, drew a
regular weekend following at the Mt.
farms Four theatres' midnight
screenings until October. The 60's
sleeper exploded into pop culture as
viewers participated in the enter-
tainment, shouting lines with the ac-
tors, wearing costumes, dancing,
and bringing props, such as rice to
throw at the screen during the wed-
ding scene. "Rocky Horror" also

played on campus and the most
popular costume ideas were imita-
tions of the film.

Months after "Rocky Horror's"
first powerful replay, horror films
again came into vogue. "Dracula,"
modeled after the original version
with Bella Legosi, but big because of
its original successful Broadway run
and the dynamic charming Count in
both — Frank Langella — was the
most popular. But "Love At First
Bite," starring George Hamilton,
didn't fare as well.

Another '60's cult film, "King of
Hearts," continued to be a favorite
playing often on campus and other
local theatres.

Woody Allen, the prolific and best-
loved director of the year, continued
to bombard us with his master-
pieces. In 1978, after his award-win-
ning "Annie Hall," he made his first
serious film, "Interiors," a parody of
Swedish director Ingmar Bergman's
work. "Interiors" wasn't as appreci-
ated as Allen's comedies, but critics
acclaimed his effort. But "Manhat-

tan," released in the summer, again
treated us to Woddy's fine meta-
physical-psychological-philosophical
humor. And as a love poem to New
York City, the black and white film
ranked high with the best of film art.

Another comedy, though a silly
one, which made its profits from stu-
dents was "Animal House," starring
the popular John Belushi from tele-
vision's Saturday Night Live. A par-
ody of fraternity life, "Animal
House" may have partially contrib-
uted to a renewed interest in frats.

Foreign films, as usual, did well in
Amherst — an area which special-
izes in showing art films: indepen-
dently made films, foreign films, sur-
real cinema, and old American films.
Besides the legendary, "King of
Hearts," "Bread and Chocolate," an
Italian comedy, was big here, and
Ingmar Bergman's film of the year,
"Autumn Sonata," starring his fa-
vorite actresses, Liv Ullman and In-
grid Bergman, was well-done, al-
though his "darkfilms" were becom-
ing tiresome.

Sally Hyde (Jane Fonda, an officer's wife and Luke Martin (Jon Voigfit), a disabled war

veteran, enjoy a meal at her beach home in "Coming
Home. " a United Artist release.

After the success of "Star Wars"
and greater knowledge of special ef-
fects technology, a few films did well
in this area though not enough.
"Buck Rogers in the 25th Century"
was a joke. Even "Alien" and "Dra-
cula," while they employed keen
special effects, used the technology
to make the grotesque. A '50's re-
make, "Invasion of the Bodys-
natchers," was superb, and "Super-
man," well done as a satire and ex-
plosive in special effects was a hit.
Next to the "Deer Hunter," "The
China Syndrome" was the most po-
litical film of the year. Released early
in 1979, the anti-nuke film starred
reknowned activist Jane Fonda, The
first big film made dealing with the
relevant energy issue and suggest-
' ing that big business prefered profit
over safety, challenged apathetics
and pro-nukes. Yet, "China Syn-
drom's" luckiest break was its coin-
cidental timing — weeks before the
world's first nuclear accident in Har-
risburg, Pa. The Collegian review of
"The China Syndrom" also coinci-
dentally appeared on the same day
as the accident occured. Newspa-
pers were filled with debates over
the cause of nuclear energy and the
validity of the movie.

But "The Deer Hunter" was th
film of the year. A graphic, emotion-
al, and symbolically powerful state-
ment about the Vietnam War, it was
the first time since the war that
Americans left their mournful si-
lence and guilt and attempted to un-
derstand the dilemma of the pre-
vious decade. An earlier film, "Com-
ing Home," was weak politically yet
came to light in the wake of "The
Deer Hunter." "Coming Home"
starred Jane Fonda and Jon Voight
who won the 1978 best actress and
best actor awards for the film.

Critics and columnists filled news-
papers discussing just how accurate
"The Deer Hunter" was in depicting
the war. Controversy and argu-

ments about whether the film was
merely meant to be symbolic or
should have been a documentary
abounded. Many felt that scenes de-
picting Americans being tortured by
North Vietnamese and Russian Rou-
lette being played were inaccurate
or exaggerated. Letters to the Editor
about the film filled the Collegian
editorial page, as well as most news-
papers. And finally, after much delay
over-budgeting, and extensive pub-
licity, Francis Ford Coppolla's
"Apocalypse Now," was finally re-
leased in the summer. White one of
the most graphic and artistic films in
film history, Coppola was criticized
for a nonchalant ending.

Yet although none of these films
offered any answers, they at least
lead the '70's to end on a thoughtful
note.

Power trips

The 1978-79 academic year saw
the UMass Student Government As-
sociation engulfed in controversey
over the misappropriation of stu-
dent funds by tw/o S.G.A. officers re-
sulting in the political demise of a
Student Senate Speaker and the
Student Attorney General. It cast a
shadow over more important issues
such as a $12 increase in the Stu-
dent Activities Tax fee and a $25 a
week pay raise for S.G.A. officers.

In February of 1979, Student Sen-
ate Speaker Brian DeLima, a colorful
figure on campus, was found guilty
by a student judiciary board of mak-
ing personal phone calls to Hawaii
on senate phones and was made to
pay back over $200 in telephone
charges. DeLima did not run for re-
election to his post in March.

"March comes in like a lion ..."
and so Student Attorney General
Robin Adams levelled charges of
voter fraud in the previous Octo-
ber's S.G.A. election, citing new evi-
dence of ballot box stuffing. Both
sets of candidates involved in that
October conquest were in the run-
ning in the spring election. Less than
two weeks later, Dean of Students
William F. Field ruled that Continuing
Education students could not run for
S.G.A. posts, thus eliminating candi-
date Peter Graham who was to have
been teamed with Cindy Thomas in
a rematch against Tyson Hensleigh.

The continuing education deci-
sion, initiated by Adams, was sus-
pected as a move to offer up Thom-
as and Graham as "scapegoats" in
an effort to disqualify Continuing
Education Student Brian DeLima
from a re-election race, should he
have decided to run for a position.

But if political in-fighting resulted
in scars to one political face, so it did
to another, as March 7, saw the Stu-
dent Senate vote to rescind Attor-
ney General Adams. She was even-
tually reinstated, but did not reapply
for the position with the new student
government.

On March 15, the students voted
the status quo out and put South-
west Assembly President Rich La-
Voice and Brian Burke in as co-presi-
dents, with a 56 percent landslide
victory. LaVoice was designated as
the student trustee, while Burke ran
things on the home front.

March was also the month the
senate approved a pay increase
from $45 a week for its officers to
paying them an hourly rate of $3.50.

In April, the Student Senate elect-
ed the coordinator of the Student
Center for Educational Research
and Advocacy, David Barenberg, as
its new speaker. The senate also en-
dorsed the concept of a mandatory
"G-Core" which would require stu-
dents to take courses on racism,
sexism and other topics with the

hopes that increased awareness will
lessen prejudice.

The month of May saw the stu-
dent population go against the na-
tion's tax-cutting fever, when they
voted in favor of the senate's pro-
posed $12 increase of the Student
Activities fee, thus providing rev-
enue to liquidate deficits in student
groups' budget.

Politicking as usual continued in
May, with new co-presidents Burke
and LaVoice failing to get their Attor-
ney General nominee, Ann Bolger,
approved by the senate. The search
committee had rated Julie Robert-
son, a black woman, as the number
one candidate, and Bolger as num-
ber two. William Pierce was named
acting attorney general.

S.G.A. treasurer James O'Connell,
who was re-elected in March, was
found to have abused his Student
Senate credit card privileges in the
senate auto pool, by charging up a
bill of over $400 in car repairs and
gas for his own car.

If the UMass Student Government
Association is any example, it seems
as if this generation is devoid of any
positive effects from the Watergate
scandals. It's as if the S.G.A. and the
power-breaking forces connected
with them are a small scale example
of the corruption and inequities that
go on outside in the real world.

Campaign
to Combat
Racism

During the 1978-79 academic
year a coalition came tcgetiner to
actively deal with racial tensions at
UMass that for too long continued
unanswered. On February 8, 1979, a
press conference was held to an-
nounce formally the Campaign to
Combat Racism. It was not done by
guilt ridden liberals with nothing else
to do. It came about by a committed
multi-racial coalition of students
with diverse backgrounds. Com-
posed of both students and staff
workers in various areas, they made
a call and a challenge to all to join in
a campaign against racism.

Endorsements came from the
Student Senate as well as individual
faculty and students. They support-
ed a major effort because they rec-
ognized the deep need for one. The
school year ended with numerous
incidents that involved violence,
property damage and death. The
campaign utilized the press, posters,
forums and petitions to heighten
awareness of this pervasive and de-
structive problem. It called for, as an
initial start, the renaming of the li-
brary and the Fine Arts Center after
W.E.B. Dubois and Edward "the
Duke" Ellington, respectively — two
African-Americans who in their life-
time made great contributions to

Nana Shashibe

American civilization, but gained lit-
tle recognition for their achieve-
ments. Committee members pre-
sented a curriculum change propos-
al called the Human Awareness
Core, designed to institutionalize
anti-racism as a necessary aca-
demic priority. The committee be-
lieves that the combatting of racism
should be an integral part of our
education.

The efforts during the 1978-79
year were only the beginning of a
process aimed at affecting the qual-
ity of life on campus and at home. It
must be recognized that racism is
rampant in our society, that solu-
tions cannot be diluted by compro-
mise, and that a long and dedicated
campaign must be waged.

Racism is not a social ill of the
past; it is part of an uninterrupted
litany of despair that America con-
tinues to reserve for those not born
with white skin. Racism is not only
an act of uneducated bigots but is
perpetuated by and serves the inter-
ests of the highest incomes, govern-
ment officials in the most crucial po-
sitions and educators with the high-
est honors available.

The committee's commitment to
this campaign is critical. We cannot
allow ourselves to leave school con-
sidering ourselves educated, with-
out recognizing the loss that this
prevailing illness has caused. All of
us must share the responsibility of
eradicating this debasing social ill, in
order to secure for the future a just
and humane way of life.

Reverand Caldwell

Women's Weeic

Hundreds of UMass and area
women participated in an extended
10-day celebration of International
Women's Week during March, 1979.

International Women's Day was
born March 8, 1857, when women
garment workers marched from the
lower East Side to uptown Manhat-
tan demanding higher pay, a 10-
hour work day and equality for all
women in work. Three years later
these women formed a union. Forty-
eight years after the first march
thousands of women needle trades
workers marched again and pro-
claimed March 8 as International
Women's Day. New demands were
added — legislation abolishing child
labor and insuring women's suf-
frage.

Women all over the world have
celebrated this day. In 1917 one
strike in Moscow sparked the Rus-
sian Revolution.

In Iran, thousands of women took
to the streets on March 8, 1979 to
protest some of the policies of the
Ayatolla Kohmehni regarding wom-
en, soon after his takeover of the
Iranian government. One policy was
the encouragement given to women
to wear the traditional black "cha-
dor" or veil, as opposed to western
style dress such as skirts or pants.

At UMass, students celebrated
womanhood by exploring the theme
"Struggle and Revolution" and lea-
ding/participating in workshops on
women's health, self-defense, lesbi-
anism, abortion, the law, class strug-
gles and other topics.

Noted radical feminist authors An-
drea Dworkin and Mary Daly spoke
at Smith College, while Queen Moth-
er Moore, an 80-year-old black
woman who was associated with the
Marcus Garvey and Malcom X move-
ments spoke on the black struggle in
America.

Feminist singers Holly Near and
Meg Christian with Judie Thomas on
piano entertained a capacity crowd
as they sang of women's lives, strug-
gles and emotions.

Asian-American singer Nubuko
Miyamoto with Benny Yee also per-
formed during the week. Two perfor-
mances by Little Flags Theater, a
multi-racial, multi-aged trope ex-
plored people's struggles in "Winds
of the People," and the daydreams
of a union organizer who ponders
the theories of Karl Marx while
awaiting the arrival of her boyfriend
Mark, in "Marx on Her Mind."

Iran

After a year long struggle that
forced Shah Mohammed Reza Pah-
lavi out of his country, the exiled
Ayatollah Ruholla Khomeini re-
turned to Iran February 1, 1979 to
establish a religously oriented Isla-
mic republic.

The 78-year-old Moslem patriarch
began what at that time was his "un-
official" regime, by challenging the
provisional government and leaders
appointed by the shah before he fled
the country. Khomeini also warned
Americans and others that he would
"cut the hands" of foreign influence
over his country.

After a brief but bloody struggle,
Khomeini toppled the provisional
government and with overwhelming
support from the Iranian people and
the army, ended the 2,500-year-old
Iranian monarchy and replaced it
with the beginnings of an Islamic
state.

The Shah, whose regime was
termed tyrannical, corrupt and over-
ly westernized, fled to Morrocco and
later to Mexico.

Other charges against the Shah
included using a secret police, the
SAVAK, creating a heavy depen-
dence on foreign goods and running
the country on bribery.

Students at UMass and across the
globe joined in the struggle to expell
the Shah from Iran. A large sign that
hung in the Student Union building
lobby reading "Death to the Shah"
caused much controversy on cam-
pus. Some people were offended by
the death wish, saying it was advo-
cating an attitude similar to the one
being protested.

Khomeini, during his first months
as Iran's leader banned all forms of
music, ordered the executions of
many of the Shah's friends and po-
litical associates, cut back Iran's oil
shipments to the U.S. and ordered
the death of men and women adul-
terers.

Passing the Salt II -

Triumph and Trepidation

After nearly seven years of asking,
the SALT was nearly passed this
Spring when the US and Soviet
Union leaders agreed in principle on
a new Strategic Arms Agreement
Treaty to regulate their strategic
arms race.

A triumphant President Jimmy
Carter called it "the single most im-
portant achievement that could pos-
sibly take place in my lifetime."

But he was refering to the ratifica-
tion by the US senate of the 80-page
19-article treaty which is in doubt at
this writing.

The four main objectives of SALT II
go significantly beyond SALT I in set-
ting both numbers and types of the
two superpowers' long-range weap-
ons.

1. Sets ceilings on missiles and
bombers, with sub-limits on
MIRV's and heavy bombers
armed with cruise missiles.

2. Reduces existing levels of stra-
tegic weapons - applies only to
Soviets, who will have to dis-
mantle 270 of their older weap-
ons.

3. Bars increases in missile sizes
and warhead loads.

4. Equalizes numbers (but not
power) of strategic weapons of
both countries.

Since the Carter Administration
claimed that the treaty did not ham-
per any US plans for modernizing or
developing its weapons, liberal Sena-
tors like Hatfield, McGovern and
Proxmire threatened to vote against
ratification: "We reserve the right to
vote against any SALT proposal that
does not fundamentally curb the
arms race."

But the greatest criticism by op-
ponents of SALT II dealt with the
matter of verification. American dis-
trust of Soviet integrity became the
subject of screaming headlines in
the press and rhetoric on Capitol
Hill. An early leak of a secret Con-
gressional briefing by CIA director
Stansfield Turner quoted the Admi-
ral as saying it would take five years
(to 1984) to restore US capability
for monitoring Soviet missile tests
that had been lost in Iran. Secretary
of Defense Harold Brown acknowl-
edged such a delay to regain all of
the Iranian loss, but he insisted it
would take only "about a year" to
restore enough capability to verify
that the Russians were complying
with SALT II.

Thus, with the Liberals on the one

hand unhappy that SALT II does not
go far enough to eliminate all nucle-
ar weapons (Sen. Henry Jackson
compared Carter's Soviet policy to
Neville Chamberlain's handlig of Hit-
ler in 1939) and the Conservatives
on the other, who believe that any
treaty is better than no treaty at all,
the political battle is joined to mus-
ter the 67 senatorial votes needed
to ratify.

Meanwhile, the Vienna Summit in
mid-June between Carter and Presi-
dent Leonid Brezhnev revealed
more than SALT. The aging (72) So-
viet leader showed his infirmities -
he is said to be suffering from cere-
bral arteriosclerosis (hardening of
the arteries of the brain, that results
in impaired memory and concentra-
tion).

As the meeting between the two
leaders was about to begin. Carter
pointed out that good relations be-
tween their two countries would pre-
serve peace for the entire world. To
which Brezhnev replied, "God will
not forgive us, if we fail." Afterward,
a Soviet spokesman tried to substi-
tute "future generations" for
"God", in keeping with the atheistic
nature of the Communistic society.
But Carter had already written
Brezhnev's statement on a sheaf of
yellow paper, so struck was he by
the religious flavor of Brezhnev's re-
mark, according to a Newsweek re-
porter. Newsweek also reported
that "... immediately after Brezh-
nev made his remark, Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko pointed a
finger at the ceiling and added, "You
know, that's the guy up there."

And when Carter arrived for the
first such summit between the lead-
ers of the two countries in five years,
he told a Schwechat Airport crowd
that "We have no illusions that this
agreement will rid the world of dan-
ger once and for all, nor will it end all
differences between our two na-
tions. But we are confident that
SALT II will widen the areas of coo-
peration and reduce substantially
the dangers of nuclear holocaust."

One thing is certain: whether the
SALT is passed or not, it may well be
the last hurrah for the two leaders
who have asked for it - Brezhnev's ill
health may force him to retire within
the next 18 months; Carter's politi-
cal troubles may make him a one-
term president within the same time
frame.

Cross-Burning At Amherst College

On April 16, 1979 in the early
hours of the morning, a cross was
ignited in front of Charles Drew
House, an all-black residence hall at
one of the two most prestigious pri-
vate institutions in the area — Am-
herst College.

The blazing symbol, characteristic
of a Klu Klux Klan mentality, marked
a series of conflicts that would weigh
heavy on the school while stirring
the majority of the Five-College pop-
ulation, awakening a portion of it to
the injustices inherent in our system
and simultaneously nursing a seg-
ment of others who longed to exper-
ience the action and mood of the
1960's.

The cross-burning spurred a pre-
dominately black student sit-in at
the college's administration build-
ing. Converse Hall, and a one-day
moratorium on classes was held, fo-
rums and workshops held in their
places.

The sit-in action was further justi-
fied by five demands drafted by the
Black Students' Union and support-
ed by Five-College sympathizers
who believed that blacks and other
minorities were being molded by the
administration on a white, racist as-
sembly line. The demands called for
the administrative institution of a
five-year-old student-run orientation
program for incoming black fresh-
men; more student input in the se-
lection of deans and faculty mem-
bers; an increase in minority faculty
members; the divestment of Ameri-
can corporate stock holdings in
south Africa; and the college's con-
tinued financial support of a Spring-
field-based summer youth program.

While outrage, disgust and fear
were expressed throughout the
Five-College area that such an inci-
dent had occurred. Amherst College
President John William Ward an-

nounced just two days later, before
an all-college assembly, that the
cross had been set ablaze by one or
more black students. The materials
used to construct the cross, he said,
had come from the basement of
Charles Drew House.

Few appeared to be alarmed at
Ward's statement. Some — both
black and white — felt betrayed and
still others acknowledged, off-the-
record, the college president's find-
ings.

The college's black community
disavowed any knowledge of those
responsible for the crossburning,
and the sit-in at Converse Hall con-
tinued, shifting in forcus from the
fiery catalyst to the five demands.

Frustrated administrators who
wanted to clear the building of the
protestors entered negotiations
with black student leaders in an at-
tempt to settle the demands. After a
weekend of day into night closed
door sessions, an impasse was de-
clared by the students, and at 5:30
a.m. on April 23, an undetermined
number of Amherst and Five-College
students chained and bolted all the
building's entrances, threatening to
remain in Converse Hall until their
demands were met by the adminis-
tration.

When a refusal to comply with ad-
ministrative orders to vacate the
building created an even tenser at-
mosphere, an ultimatum was issued
— all Amherst College students who
remained inside the building after 1
p.m. would be automatically sus-
pended from the institution. The re-
sult was 68 exiled students.

After groping for a face-saving
compromise one day later, the two
opponents came to a preliminary
agreement, the students ended the
blockade of Converse Hall on April
25, after Ward agreed to eight condi-

tions, independent of the five de-
mands. The conditions stipulated
the students be reinstated in the col-
lege and that Ward immediately and
formally respond to the initial five
demands.

In doing so on April 27 in a 12-
page statement. Ward made no con-
cessions in the administration's
stance on the issues and events
which had shrouded the college for
the past 10 days. The 68 students
were reinstated. However, they
were still subject to disciplinary
measures if a faculty member chose
to file suit against them with the col-
lege judicial board, a group of three
faculty members and three stu-
dents.

Charged with "serious violations
of the College's Statement on Free-
dom of Expression and Dissent and
Statement on Respect for Persons,"
the 68 students were tried before
the judicial board and received as
sentences a period of two days sus-
pension logged on their records for
the time they spent barricaded in-
side Converse Hall.

Meanwhile, classes at , Amherst
College and ended and Ward refused
to name two black men he had sus-
pended after charging them with the
crossburning. The students, both
residents of Charles Drew House,
were forced to leave the campus
within 24 hours of receiving their
suspension notices and formally
charged with the incident.

The two men were later tried be-
fore the judicial board and were rein-
stated in the college. As a disciplin-
ary action against them, the college
refused to acknowledge their aca-
demic presence at the college in
their records for the spring 1979 se-
mester.

The Ups snd Dnujns a

The effects of the building boom
on the Amherst campus, a boom
which spanned the whole decade
from 1963 to 1973, were never
more apparent than over the 1978-
79 academic year.

These ten years resulted in an as-
tounding aggregation of buildings
which, to some members of the Uni-
versity community, has given the
campus a cluttered, unplanned look.
Students who attended the Universi-
ty during this period of accelerated
growth became well acquainted with
the art of dodging construction vehi-
cles and side-stepping construction
sites.

Buildings like the entire Southwest
residential complex, the Campus
Center and its accompanying Ga-
rage, the Fine Arts Center, the Li-
brary, the Graduate Research Cen-
ter and the Sylvan Area dormitories
are a few examples of the over-
whelming expansion which has tak-
en place.

Those students who were enrolled
during the construction period may
well turn out to be more fortunate
than the later students who are
supposed to enjoy the completed fa-
cilities. Rather than taking advan-
tage of the new facilities which these
buildings should represent, students
were faced with the distinct possibil-
ity of not being able to use them at
all.

One by one, these structures are
falling victim to an alarming rate of
early deterioration. The cases are
well-documented. The inside rain-
storm plagues the campus Center
whenever the outside weather con-
ditions are adverse and the crum-
bling and falling concrete in the
Campus Center Garage, poses a per-
petual safety hazard. Taken sepa-
rately these cases of building decay
may not appear alarming, but to-
gether, and in the relatively short
period since their completion, the
effect of this deterioration is stag-

gering.

These building were all construct-
ed as projects of the UMass Building
Authority, an agency which was ini-
tially set-up to administer the antici-
pated new construction work in the
1960's.

The UMBA has enjoyed a long his-
tory of cooperation with the Univer-
sity, but in 1979, this relationship
became strained at best. The Spe-
cial Commission Concerning State
and County Buildings, chaired by
Amherst College President Ward,
has announced its intention to "in-
vestigate the activities of the
UMBA."

This investigation was brought
about by the alarming rate of dete-
rioration experienced in Building Au-
thority projects.

The role of students in this entire
affair reaches far beyond the incon-
venience of dodging falling bricks,
and beyond even the obvious safety
hazard of parking or walking through

r Campus Cnnstructian

a garage with one eye raised sky-
ward. The students have been
asked, and will be expected to as-
sume the financial burden of cor-
recting these design and construc-
tion mistakes.

Much of the attention given to
these problems was centered
around paying for the necessary re-
pairs. The bantering which charac-
terized these building deficiencies
focused on "where is the money go-
ing to come from to do the neces-
sary repairs?" Up until the late 70's
it was a matter of shifting funds from
one department to another, in order
to raise the needed dollar amounts.

A perfect example was the hike in
on-campus parking fees, which os-
tensibly would be directed to park-
ing lot upkeep and repair. A consid-
erable portion of this increased rev-
enue was also earmarked for repairs
to the Campus Center Garage, a
"self-amortizing" building, accord-
ing to the UMBA.

It is safe to say that the garage
represented only the tip of the ice-
berg. The Library was the target of
much campus and area concern
since its completion in 1973.

Good-natured references to the
phallic quality of the new structure
soon gave way to more serious con-
cerns. The wind-tunnel effect exper-
ienced by everyone who travels near
the building's base, the functional
aspects of the building as a library,
and the dancer of the crumbling
brick facade, steeped the library in
constant controversy.

The time for some sort of effective
student action is most certainly at
hand. The legacy which has been left
to us by our predecessors is a crum-
bling, deteriorating campus. We
must make sure that we do not con-
tinue to pass on this legacy to future
members of the University commu-
nity.

Hopefully, the investigation of the
Ward Commission will set to rest
claims of faulty construction and
shoddy workmanship, which have
emerged as possible explanations
for the unusual rate of deterioration
observed in campus buildings. What-
ever the reasons behind this dete-
rioration, the ultimate goals of any
investigation should be twofold:
first, to effect the repairs which are

necessary to reinstate the structural
integrity of the damaged facilities,
and second, to preclude the possibil-
ity that such unacceptable construc-
tion will become the rule, rather
than the exception, in any future
campus construction.

HOUSING

Always a
Problem

For the approximate 20,000 stu-
dents who flood UMass each year,
the problem of choosing and living in
a dwelling- on or off campus- is a
recurring one.

Students who choose to live in
dormitories, most of them Fresh-
men and Sophomores, pay as much
as $100 a month to share half a
room, many of which are missing
items supposed to be included. In
addition, dorm residents are expect-
ed to share bathroom facilities with
the other 20 some-odd students on
their floor and laundry facilities with
the inhabitants of the whole dormi-
tory. Awfully crowded quarters!

They begin to converge upon the
rural town of Amherst in late August,
and it is inevitable that some will not
be assigned to dorms due to late
receipt of payments, overcrowded
buildings, and computer foul-ups. As
Dean of Students William Field says,
"After about a week, things settle
down. We know we'll have room for
them; it's just that the computer
doesn't know it yet."

That constitutes about 10,000 or
so students. But what about the rest
of them? How does the other half
live? Off-campus, that's where. And
the problems related to that method
of living are sometimes enough to
make dormitory-living seem like an
escape.

As a 1975 report by the Student
Center for Educational Research
and Advocacy (SCERA) says,
"21,000 people rent their homes in
Amherst. 87% rent from one of nine
landlords. Eight private landlords
own 70% of all the apartments in
town." In addition, students make
their homes in the neighboring com-
munities of Belchertown, Hadley,
Northampton and Sunderland.

Some of the problems that make
off-campus living inferior to dorm-
dwelling are: parking, external and
internal repairs, high security depos-
its, absentee landlords, and rent in-
creases- to name a few.

JoAnne Levenson, Director of Off-
Campus Housing for the University,
says that students get "ripped off"
by landlords, who know they're deal-
ing with a transient community who
"will pay whatever prices they
charge."

In October of 1978, the rent con-
trol question was again brought to
the Amherst Town Meeting, rejected
by the Board of Selectmen, and sent
to the polls for a November referen-
dum, where it was defeated, 1,915-
1,319. Mary Wentworth, a leader of
the Rent Control Now Committee,
owed the proposition's failure to un-
registered voters, many of them stu-
dents, who were potential allies.

The rent control referendum was
defeated in 1976, the last time it
was proposed, but Wentworth says
that happened because private ho-
meowners "just aren't sympathetic
with the problems of tenants." It is
interesting to note that the question
passed 340-272 in precinct one,
(where Pufton Village is located) and
in precinct three, the question
passed by a vote of 83-88, where
UMass voters reside. Clearly, if ten-
ants had their way, if they would mo-
bilize, rent control would pass.

But just what is rent control ? Most
communities try to achieve the fol-
lowing reforms:

1. Rent rollbacks (to some pre-
vious date)

2. Regulated rent increases and
decreases

3. Public disclosure of landlords'
financial records

4. Establishment of a Rent Control
Board, to enforce the law

5. Landlord-tenant negotiated
leases

This past year, members of the
Colonial Village Tenants Union went
to court to fight attempts by their
landlord, Louis R. Cohn of West
Hartford, Connecticut, to raise rents
and make them sign a lease written
by his attorney.

Colonial Village tenants wanted to
keep the lease they had negotiated
the previous year, which had legal
protection clauses and restrictions
on impositions of rent increases.
Cohn raised the rents, and some of
the tenants did not respond on their
intentions to remain or leave the
complex. As a result, Cohn served
eviction notices, forcing 42 of his
200 tenants to go to court. 36 of the
tenants either moved or "made
deals" with the landlord, but six ten-
ants stuck to their guns claiming
they never received notice of the
rent increases, as was stipulated in
their leases.

When Hampshire District Court
Judge Sean Dunphy rendered his
decision in September 1979, affect-
ing a "put up or get out" choice for
the six tenants, they decided to ap-
peal his decision and to file damage

suits against Cohn and his agents,
Kamins Real Estate.

As the year was drawing to a
close, the Colonial Village Six were
still settling their dispute, vowing to
organize other tenants in Pufton Vil-
lage, Southwood and the other com-
plexes. Their plan of action- to get
the rent control referendum on the
1980 ballot.

PIERPONT

Always a Blast

UMass was the subject of unde-
sired national notice during spring
semester after an arson attempt
was made on the life of a head of
residence the first evening campus
activities resumed after interses-
sion.

Thomas K. Whitford, the 22-year-
old head of residence of Pierpont,
awoke late that night to find his
apartment filled with smoke. The
door had been set ablaze after
someone had apparently broken
into a janitor's closet and discon-
nected the circuit to the smoke de-
tector in the apartment.

Whitford escaped through a win-
dow — jumping about 25 feet to the
safety of the concrete pavement be-
low. After treatment at University
Health Services, Whitford was quick-
ly removed from the campus.

UMass police began an intensive,
hushed investigation, aided by the
state fire marshall's office. Pierpont,
a dorm widely known for its student
political activisim and alleged drug
trafficking, made newspaper head-
lines once again.

To compensate for lack of an au-
thorized dorm leader, a residential
staff member was stationed in the
dorm during weekday working
hours, while at night, an unarmed
guard was posted.

Whitford returned to campus sev-
eral weeks later and was given a new
job working with the Orchard Hill-
Central dorm cluster system. No ar-
rests were made in the case, and
University police concluded the se-
mester with a "no comment" on the
status of their investigation.

A fire alarm, shrill and piercing in the early morning
quiet of a sleeping campus can be a frightening exper-
ience. The mind gropes to awaken as your body fumbles
to react and through it all you're still not sure if the fire is
real or someone's idea of a funny joke.

In October of 1977, 1 awoke one evening to the sounds
of fire alarms clanging the residents of Mary Lyons to
wakefulness and sending us all clammering to the halls.
My roommate and I dressed quickly, putting trenchcoats
over our pajamas and half -tying our sneakers. Throwing
open the door to our room, we were met by a smoke-filled
corridor and dozens of other terrified eyes of the the other
residents. I was still groggy from sleep, but one of the
remain-visions of that night was of a guy standing in the
hall not allowing us to pass down the back staircase and
directing us all to a safe exitway.

The next morning, after hysteria had turned to stories
of heroism, we learned that our neighbors from Thatcher
House had rushed to the scene, directing us out of the
dorm, checking rooms for those who could literally
"sleep through a fire" and offering rooms, blankets and
munchies to those of us whose rooms had been smoke
damaged.

Neighborly concern welled up again this spring when
women in the UMass community were made aware of a
serious rape problem and potential rapist loose in the
UMass area. Of the rapes reported at this time, the loca-
tion seemed to be consistently in the Northeast/Sylvan
area. This was cause for a certain amount of wariness on
every woman's part, but nighttime studying at the li-
brary, outside exercise, and a certain degree of mobility
about the campus was still necessary. A serious problem
did exist.

Once again, it was our neighbors to the rescue. Posted
in the bathrooms and halls we found notices informing
us that the following area men would be willing to help
during this crisis. If we needed an escort to our car parked
in a far lot or someone to walk us back from the library,
we were instructed to call and request an escort. For many
of us it was a heaven-sent peace of mind.

In the "quad", we're all like siblings in a large family
which, in the same sense, is true of UMass as a whole. But
how else could you explain the moment of silence that
inevitably comes after every Thatcher-Mary Lyons ob-
scenity screaming match?

After an exchange of insults that would make a truck
driver blush, there emerges out of the darkness, in true
Walton style, two innocent voices: Good-night Thatcher,
Good-night Mary Lyons".

Pamela Giannatsis

Early in December, the snow started
to fall-first in small flakes which grew
bigger and bigger before our eyes. As
we watched, distracted in classrooms
of English and PoliSci, the frozen
ground turned white and the campus
disappeared in a blanket of snow and
stark cement walls.

We all rushed through dinner that

night, boisterous and excited under
the watchful eyes of the dining com-
mons ladies. The first snow! The
streets were becoming slick and the
ground had the illusion of softness.

Like thieves in the night, we planned
our strategy. The trays we had carried
our food on would be hidden-beneath
the folds of a down jacket, in the

book-stretched frame of a back pack
or tucked neatly in an art student's
portfolio. The former hiding places of
brownies and bread now had a more
important mission. By whatever
means, however, the mass exodus of
trays would happen-as it had hap-
pened on snowy days since the begin-
ning. To us it was a coup.
Once outside we were jubilant. We

slid and skidded, falling and laughing
in the fresh snow. The voices of hun-
dreds of other students bounced off
the brick walls of Central as everyone
climbed THE HILL which led to Van
Meter. How we had cursed that hill
before when books were heavy and
legs tired. But today we were the con-
querers of Everest and our thrill was
yet to come.

Squatting down on the thin piece of
plastic which protected tender other-
sides from jagged rocks and bare
ground, we psyched ourselves to run
the course.

Like Jean Claude Killey, a deep breath,
a prayer, a pat on the back and . . .
whooshhh, you're off. The blurr of
brick and white, multi-colored down

jackets and the roar of screams and
music screech by until you hear nor
see no more. It's high that freezes and
nips and lasts but a few seconds final-
ly dumping you in the snow laughing
and scrambling. Like an addict you
climb for more. Traying . . . the ulti-
mate high. •

"Excuse me, is this room 304 Field
House?"

No one answered, but as I peered
around the corner of what was to be
my new home, I saw a young woman,
leotard-clad, legs crossed, ohmming.

My father was just around the corner,
huffing and puffing with one quarter
of my earthly belongings on his back.
It was my first time away from home
and I was scared.

My new roommate was a junior in
environmental studies, a vegetarian, a
"free thinker", into sex and some
home grown drugs and I wasn't quite
sure what I was into.

My mother had packed peanut butter
and bread, sewn labels on my clothes,
bought me new underwear and
opened a new checking account for
me. I was wet behind the ears as well
as under the armpits. I watched my
parents station wagon drive away
feeling the sting of the cut umbilical
cord.

That night I went to a get-together for
freshmen. We all had similar fears
and problems and we talked late into
the night. Walking back to my room,
I searched for room 304. At first I
thought I might be in the wrong dor-
mitory. The buildings were all similar
and it was possible to make that mis-
take. There below the number 304,
was a pillow with what looked like my
pajamas on it, my toothbrush and a
note with someone else's handwrit-
ing.

"My boyfriend came up for the night.
Hope you don't mind finding some-
place else to sleep. Thanks."

I was in shock. I roamed the halls
looking for a place to sleep. The
lounge was wide open and florescent
lighted, the floors cold, the studies
impersonal. The tears must have been
falling; a kind-hearted senior invited
me into her room where she had a
sleeping bag that I could use.

Over tea and music, I let out all the
fears and tears which I'm sure she had
heard a hundred times before. She lis-
tened, advised and empathized and
the next day things looked brighter.

Learning to cope and live with all
sorts of other people is all part of the
UMass experience. My four years on
Orchard Hill were great, I couldn't
have asked for a better living arrange-
ment. Looking back now on that first
night, I smile. You've got to be a
freshman before you learn to fly.

It's springtime in Sylvan-perhaps the
most longed for, the most enjoyed,
and the laziest time of the three-sea-
son calender of the UMass student.

From high atop Cashin, the music of
the Cars carries over to the observa-
tory below which sun worshippers
dot the orchard with carelessly dis-
carded clothing. A few have brought
their books with them, even fewer are
still trying to study. There is a sense
of timelessness about the orchard in
springtime.

Sylvan is the suite living section of
the university Located in the fai

northeast corner of the campus, the
three dorms Cashin, MacNamara and
Brown are surrounded by lush forests
and tempting greenery which explain
the name of this fasciiVating complex,
sylvan being the poetic word for for-
est. Six rooms share a common lounge
and bathroom facilities. Similar to
apartment dwelling. Sylvan is a
unique living experience at UMass.

Suite living affords an individual a
certain degree of privacy that cannot
be found in other dorms. The physical
structure of the "honeycomb " dorms
allows individuals to mingle or re-
treat, to paity or to study without be-

ing forced to do some or the other
because everyone else is. Most suites
are composed of a random sampling
of students which lends some credi-
bility to the saying that "variety is the
spice of life." Others are composed of
like-minded students who live togeth-
er because of common lifestyles or
similar interests. Choice of lifestyle is
priority in Sylvan.

But ultimately, it is the residents of
Sylvan who make it truly a home. In
befriending a suitemember, one is in-
troduced to six or seven new people
within the suite. The lounges provide
a comfortable atmosphere for getting

to know one another. It's like sitting
in your own living roon\ of your own
home, and it quickly becomes just
that . . . your home.

On one floor, each lounge serves a
different purpose. One suite lounge
was the cooking lounge, across the
hall the Triple B Derelict Lounge, in
305 the television lounge (color, no
less) and in 304 the study lounge. How
many homes could provide such com-
fort?

The amenities of Sylvan are many:
WSYL at 98 on your FM dial, the Sub-
way in the basement of MacNamara, a

television studio, a hop to the orchard,
a beautiful wooded acreage, and one of
the nicest views of the Pioneer Valley
on campus.

In winter, the residents climb the slip-
pery hill to home. Standing stark and
lighted on the hill with a backdrop of
trees. Sylvan can be seen from the far
reaches of the valley. In springtime,
the woods surrounding Sylvan come
alive with bright moist foliage and the
signs of human endeavor as well. To
those who make their home here,
nothing can beat the smell of the or-
chard apples that drifts in on an Indi-
an Summer afternoon.

Sylvan may require more effort on the
part of each individual to succeed as a
fulfilling learning experience because
of the nature of the suites' physical
layout: but once the effort is made, the
benefits accrue with geometric pro-
gression.

The

Ancient Rome may no longer exist, but a similar empire
lives today with all the power and glory that once was
Rome-Southwest.

Rome, in its magnificence, was a nucleus of learning, art,
warring, and merrymaking- a capsule of concentrated power
and energy. However, what could have been the most ad-
vanced, productive, creative civilizations the world has
known eventually brought about its own demise. Rome still
lives in the reincarnated form as a small city rising out of
the valleys in the far western region of the state-Southwest.

Like Rome, Southwest has its many gods. The people
have sung their praise for the Red Sox and Ali, praises that
were deep felt by some and for others merely brought on by
a crowd catalyst, a god in itself. The gods are praised in
volume and number by stereos, ancient worship instru-
ments as much praised as the gods themselves.

Philosophers contemplate the works of Bowie and the
Stones as well as the art created on cinderblock canvasses
and elevator walls. Tolkien laces himself through the lives
of the people there as did Homer in ancient Rome.

The citizens are boisterous and sportsloving. They devot-
edly attend the coliseum to watch their athletes beaten and
"thrown to the lions". They wildly rejoice in their victories.

At times, Southwest explodes for no known reason. Sud-
denly the concentrated energy reaches is culmination and
the screaming, the lights, the fireworks and the noise devas-
tate the senses. Every sense is aroused. Sight is blurred by
the masses of students. The smell of bonfires and beer
tantalize the nostrils and the roar of voices chanting a verbal
battle leaves one wondering whether he has passed through
a time warp. Then suddenly, as fast as it erupted, calm
returns, leaving the outside world shaken and wondering.

Southwest has been ridiculed by those looking in from
outside. But Rome, too, was a center of ridicule and scorn.
To those living within its wall, however, no comparable
reality exists.

Southwest's sunsets are beautiful. And like the place it-
self, are etched forever in the minds of those who lived
there. Perhaps looking back to Southwest after years of
living and experience, history and memories will treat
Southwest as it has treated Rome . . . and understanding of
its power, potential and beauty will be born.

Going for the Gusto

"Greek" power has been on the rise since the end of the

Vietnam War.

The majority of university students are now dwelling less on

the political and more on the traditional as concentration is

geared to entering the job market.

On these 2 pages, the INDEX has captured the essence of

Greek life. And, as most UMass students, Greeks do like to

party!

Flipped Out

A decade later, liMass has established a co-ed frat.

1962. The beer at fraternity houses pours like water, panty raids and hazings ravage the campus, girls wear tight skirts and fishnet stockings, guys crew cut
their hair and parade letter sweaters.

The Deltas are on double probation for bad grades and bad behavior. But nonetheless the party is called, the house is filled with Deltas and their dates who
slurp "Purple Jesus Juice", twist to a tune called "Louie, Louie" and later commit several dozen acts of individual perversions. A low chant begins to rock the
house, building louder and louder it reaches a deafening crescendo . . . TO-GA . . . TO-GA . . . TO-GA!!!

Summer 1978. National Lampoon Magazine releases a film about college pranks and fraternity hijinks based on the antics of an actual fraternity at Dartmouth
College. Animal House quickly becomes a runaway success. The movie's most ardent fans, college students, make the film's orgiastic "toga party" the model
for 1978-79's favorite campus happening.

From California to Massachusetts bedsheet-clad partyers dance the night away reminiscent of pre-Vietnam War protest days. In Wisconsin as many as 10,000
students gathered for an all-night toga party and an expected listing in the Guinness Book of World Records for creating the largest mixed drink from everything
the partyers brought along. At Boston College, a toga party for 600 was sold out in three days whereby resourceful students scalped the $2.00 tickets for up to
five times the original price. On campuses large and small toga partiers wave their arms, scream the toga chant and fall to the floor wiggling and writhing the
toga dance. An unshaven little pudgy named John Belushi is elevated to fame for his silent character in Animal House, a character loved for his crassness,
stupidity and silence. What's more the movie has produced an increased interest in the college Greek system as it was portrayed in the film. Suddenly an
unprecedented number of students were rushing to pledge the fraternity that sponsered the best toga parties.

In the early 1960's, the college Greek system enjoyed its heyday on college campuses nationwide. By 1969, however, student interests rapidly turned to the
Vietnam War, political involvement and areas of national concern. The fun-loving, self-indulgent, narcissistic life of the Greek became abhorrent to those
students interested in more immediate world concerns. Fraternities and sororities entered a decade of low enrollment, low morale and an even lower image
amongst fellow students.

Realizing the need to change with the times, paired with more political service and special interest activities, Greeks began to emphasize the practical and
productive and in recent years college campuses have seen an increased interest in the Greek system. At the University of Massachusetts enrollment in
fraternities and sororities increased twelve percent from 1978 to 1979.

Gone are the days of closed membership, snobbish elitism, hazings and expensive membership dues. Fraternities and sororities today welcome a wide variety of
members with diverse interests, styles and backgrounds to add to the overall diversity of each house. The stereotypical frat rat interested in booze, broads and
bands may not be completely obsolete today but his roommate could very possibly be a philosophy major who lives on yogurt, nuts and tofu.

The national Greek system boasts a wide diversity of famous alumni including Johnny Carson, Gerald Ford, Candice Bersen, Ronald Reagan, Sen. Henry Jackson,
Ali McGraw, and Howard Cosell.

The Greeks, in keeping with tradition, retain a stronghold on the majority of traditional social activity on campus. Greek Week, Homecoming, Winter Carnival,
rush parties, formals, parent's weekends and once again toga parties are all part of the fun.

LIFE IN THE SOUTH

By Jim Paulin

It seems that recently much has been said about the Sunderland bus. The
majority of those people who are in the public eye here at UMass commute to and
from that quaint Franklin County New Age land of apartments and tobacco barns.

However, just so no one gets the idea that the bus from Sunderland vanishes
after it leaves Hasbrouck, we would like to let the reading (and riding) public
know that there is life south of Amherst.

In other words, this is about how the other half of the Sunderland route lives
down in South Amherst. The northern terminus of the Sunderland and South
Amherst line is Northwood Apartments. The last stop in South Amherst is
Southwood Apartments.

Wild and crazy place, Southwood, due to an identity crisis caused by constant
name changing, from part of Brittany Manor to South Meadow and now South-
wood. So who can blame them if occasionally the confusion gets to them and they
toss the telephone in the oven?

And those acres of mud in South Amherst are not mud at all, but actually soggy
black hash, made wet by overflowing beer kegs.

Over in the beautiful all-electric houses of Riverglade, the tenants there never
involuntarily step in the hash because they glide to and from the bus stop on all -
electric moving sidewalks. They swim all winter in the all-electric heated swim-
ming pool. The only hazard in Rivergald is the ever-present threat of electrocu-
tion. The chic look is bright yellow rubber gloves and boots. This spring's
fashions will include wet look lead-lined suits in case the nuclear reactor in the
laundry room melts down.

You see, Riverglade is actually a colony of the Western Massachusetts Electric
Company, or perhaps a feudal state where the serfs know that if they don't
appease the WMECO king with substantial monthly tributes, they will be deport-
ed to Sunderland.

There is no Seven-Eleven, no Store 24, no All-Star Dairy in South Amherst. Not
even a cigarette machine. It is a strictly residential section. Merely a bedroom of
the great center of commerce that is Amherst center.

Amherst center-humanity of every lifestyle-from preppies to jocks to freaks to
ROTC students. Where South Amherst denizens mingle with aliens from Sunder-
land, Belchertown Road, Belchertown Center, Gatehouse Road, South Deerfield,
North Amherst and even loyal Ed King partisans from Campus Shuttle Orchard
Hill.

There have been reports of people from South Amherst experiencing severe
psychological disorientation north of the shadow of the Graduate Research Cen-
ter. Another report from beyond the pale of Grad Research indicates that anybody
from South Amherst caught setting foot in Puffton Village will be run through
the planer at Cowls Lumber to make replacement soundproof walls at Puffton.

However, we feel secure in South Amherst, which, after all, is not Southwest.

South of Amherst

During April and early May 1979, several members of the university community were
given the opportunity to spend five weeks on the island of Cuba. Cuba is so close to the
United States and the State of Florida that it is equivalent in mileage to a trip from Amherst to
Boston.

Going to Cuba with the Venceremos Brigade, an anti-imperialist work/education project,
gave me my first intimate looks at socialism. During the first three weeks of our stay we
contributed to the needs of Cuba's housing shortage by taking part in the construction of
apartment houses in the countryside. Valuable skills were learned and we were able to
converse with Cuban workers. In the evenings various workshops were provided, intimately
detailing aspects of Cuban society. Finally, our last two weeks in Cuba were a continuation of
field study as we visited factories, farms, cultural institutions, schools, newspapers, beaches,
major cities, policlinics and the monumental May Day Parade in which the entire Vencere-
mos Brigade took part.

The visit was significant to my life in that I was able to participate in a foreign culture of
Cuba by living amongst its people in order to gather first-hand knowledge of what their life
was all about. Cuba is a revolutionary society and Cuba is a socialist society, with revolution-
ary solutions to many of its problems. I was finally able to see a country where unemploy-
ment is non-existent and where modern free health care is an undeniable right of every
individual. Cuba was also my first experience and perhaps the only experience in the world
where a sincere and revolutionary solution has been applied to the question of racism; a
problem that has afflicted and remains unsolved in every modern multiracial society in the
world. The Cubans openly declared themselves an Afro-Latino people, acknowledging their
pervasive African roots while eradicating racism with unprecedented swiftness. Revolution-
ary solutions have also been applied to the question of sex where the Cuban Federation of
Women (FMC) and the Cuban people are arresting the remaining vestiges of sexism from
Cuban land. I witnessed no environmental pollution of Cuban air nor land, no hunger nor
starvation, no drug addiction and no vagrancy, among others. Education at all levels includ-
ing the university level is free and available to all Cubans, young and old.

I was able to see how another people solve their problems; applying alternative and
revolutionary solutions to the common problems that are afflicting people across the globe.
These solutions are no doubt radically different and alternative to those advocated and
practiced here in the United States. But the Cubans have omitted one very important
characteristic from influencing their problem solving; the profit motive. Taken from the text
book, one can only evaluate solutions along their ability to "successfully" solve problems.
Objectively then, you tell me who is more successful.

Perhaps the most astonishing aspect of the accomplishments of Cuban society is that all of
this has been achieved in the wake of a political, social and economic blockade of Cuba by the
United States. The United States has prohibited all trade, sale of essential medical and
material supplies or sale of spare machinery parts to Cuba in an effort to choke and isolate
the Cuban economy. Until recently the social aspect of the blockade remained fixed by
denying pedestrian travel between the two countries while encouraging skilled workers in
Cuba to expatriate. But popular pressure on United States' politicians has been successful in
causing a waning of the social aspects of the blockade and now commercial travel is
permitted between the United States and Cuba. Yet the political and more severely the
economic aspects of the blockade remain in tact, causing undue hardship to the Cuban nation
and its people.

Mark Hickson

Love one another, but make not a
bond of love:

Let it rather be a moving sea
between the shores of your souls.

Fill each other's cup but drink not
from one cup.

Give one another of your bread but
eat not from the same loaf

Sing and dance together and be
joyous, but let each one of you be
alone.

Even as the strings of a lute are
alone though they quiver with the
same music.

They met at UMass in February 1976 in a zoology

class. And, they were both living in Field House on

Orchard Hill that same year Keith Jarrett played in the

lounge. Their first date brought them to the Student

Union Ballroom for a showing of Bergman's Scenes From

A Marriage. For three years they beat the UMass odds

and maintained a relationship as best-friends and lovers.

And on June 23, 1979 Jack Kelleher of Lowell and

Margaret McLaughlin of Attleboro celebrated their

wedding mass at the Newman Center. Within an hour

the presiding priest. Father Quigley, had pronounced

them husband and wife.

During the spring semester of

1979, prior to the ceremony. Jack, a

Feb. '79 grad and Margaret, a senior

at the time, attended a six-week

marriage class in order that they be

blessed at the Newman Center.

There, they were taught what a

marriage should be and what a

Catholic wife should do — to say,

"I'm sorry dear" and "You're right."

As English and Psych majors, they

"disagreed with everything. " But

where the relationship began, the

marriage was to commence-UMass.

followed a wedding night at the

Both are currently employed in

Requiem for an Old
Flame

I was still trying to rid the ashes resulting from a

previous flame when we first met. So you weren't the

wood that fueled my fire. But yours was the spark that

had me smoking, glowing and flipping my lid. With

human strategy you controlled the air supply. Suddenly I

was smoking again. And, I thought I had closed the lid. I

plotted against romance, it had only burnt me in the past.

Casual sex was cool, hut with your coke as my fuel I

knew this affair would last days. And it did. Then

summer came. You drifted with the season's breeze and I

got blown away. The spark is gone, but the flame

remains. Baby, you can cook in my oven any day.

A Wheel-life Drama

As I approached the house a feeling of paranoia flooded
my senses. It was the last house on a darkened dead-end
street. The front yard was a mess, littered with the rem-
nants of a '57 Chevy, a broken swing-set and 3 Sear's
steel-belted Dynaglas radials. As I drove closer I began to
pick out more discreet debris- broken bottles, discarded
condoms, a number of dead birds. I parked in front of the
driveway and carried their order onto the front porch.

The door opened to reveal a blatantly stoned man
about six feet tall and covered with matted fur. I knew he
was very stoned because he muttered "there's nobody
here" and began to close the door. I grabbed the door-
knob and announced myself, "Two large pizzas with
extra cheese, right?" He appeared to look right through
me aiid then indicated that I should follow him.

As we walked from room to room, I became convinced
that this man had been raised by a pack of wolves. The
living debris which covered each and every room did not
offend me, but the smell of decay which permeated the
stale darkness did. When at last we had reached the back
of the house, I realized we were to descend a set of stairs.
My paranoia was quickly approaching irrational terror.

When we reached the landing of the staircase, I was
introduced to his three cohorts, all seated around a card
table which featured a large bong as its centerpiece. One
of the seated suggested that "We should roll this guy . . .
ha . . ha ..." Ha, Ha.

My life as a pizza delivery man began to unfold before
my eyes as the four of them moved towards me. The

night in Southwest when I had my car ransacked-the
only thing taken was a complete munch for two- two
large pizzas, one-half a dozen subs and a couple of cokes.
Then there was the time I had to deliver three anchovy
pizzas to Orchard Hill. Even with all the windows rolled
down (it was December) and a lit cigarette I still couldn't
escape the stench. Or the night I sold a pound of Colum-
bian for a friend in ounces door to door during deliveries.
And all the drunks I had endured- the clever drunkards,
who would steal a glimpse of the room number on the
box and then proceed to reveal that they were, indeed, the
occupants of room 207, to which I replied, much to their
chagrin, "Oh yeah, what's your phone number?"

All these memories haunted me as the four drug-crazed
men encircled me, forcing me to take a seat at their card
table. The man who had let me in motioned to the bong.
Then he said but one word- "many." Many bong hits
before I would be allowed to leave. I steeled myself in
preparation.

In a cold sweat, I awoke. My hands were trem-
bling as I threw back the covers and reached foi-
my bedside lamp. The lamp was nowhere to be
found. I cautiously hung my legs over the edge o^
the bed and began to pick my way across th|
debris. Guided by the sott glow of my roommate's
smoldering stereo, I made my way to the refrig-
erator. As I opened the door, a tremor passed
through the whole of my being. There was notl|"
ing left to eatl ,, ,^'::u:S:::!='sl

I found my way to the door througK: tfediij^
carded Whole Wheat cartons and long sinci
drained Molson Ales. The door opened easily
with a quick, violent twist. I began to sprint but,
stumbled towards the machines. As I turned tM
corner, my stomach began to spasm at the rneS
thought of the delicacies which lay ahead. FritoJ
Hostess cupcakes. Whole wheat chips. Two of
them. Four of them. A whole row of theml I
reached into my bathrobe and brought forth a
series of bent bottle caps. My pockets were full of
them. I immediately thought of trashing the ma-
chine of rnyf:d|||res.> Fortunately, a more ratioital
line of thought prevailed and I called my^f '"' '"
mate from the iSori&in the lobby. After lesrs matv.
a dozen rings;ia|atigued voice answered. "I've no
time for dvilitiesy^T croaked into the mouthpiece.
"Give me the nUftlber of the Amherst police. Tve
got to turn myself in."

What I got was not the Amherst police, howev-
er. My roommate had given me the number of
Gepetos Pizzeria in Northampton. I ordered two
large pizzas with everything, double anchovies.
My hands stopped trembling with only two ques-
tions remained. Would I be able to find my check-
book, and if not, would they accept my Smith-
&?rona instead?

who said,
"You are

If that
axiom

holds true, these figures taken from a Campus Center
food service count say a lot about the "typical" UMass
student.
Bagels- Lots of varieties available- pumpernickel, whole

wheat, plain, garlic, onion, sesame seed . . . Over 2400

consumed at the Campus Center alone per week.
Coffee- More than 24,000 cups of this eye-opening brew

sold per week with sales fluctuating wildly according to

exam schedules.
Hamburgers- Two thousand burgers sold per week . . .

wrapped in foil, warmed by heatlamps- Yes, Special

orders do upset us.
Tab and Coca-Cola- Enough saccharin consumed here to

keep the FDA busy in research for years to come.

W ithout student workers, this university couldn't function, and conversely, for many students there wouldn't be
the university without the job. Some work to put themselves through school. It's hard-classes and university life
combined with a full work schedule that makes for one busy student. Sometimes, the satisfaction and independence that
come from self-support is priceless.

Flipping hamburgers or pumping gas provides a little extra spending money which could make the difference between
a good weekend and a great one, or between Levi jeans and Calvin Klein's. For many, the practical experience of work is
invaluable to their careers and learning experiences.

You see the working student everywhere: the dining commons, the library, on grounds crews, cleaning stalls, typing,
guarding dorms, driving busses, serving food, selling stamps, ushering you to your seat, labelling, bank telling,
counseling, helping.

X eggy Sheehan is a personal care attendent for two handicapped students here at the
University. A nursing student, Peggy finds that the job fits in with what she plans to do in
terms of career. A little extra help in personal care, someone to help maneuver a cumbersome
wheelchair or to talk to about problems is sometimes important to someone confined to a
wheelchair. Peggy Sheehan does all that and more with the exuberance of someone who really
likes her job.

"I don't do this job for the money", said Sheehan. "The money actually means very little to
me. What I do it for is the personal satisfaction I get out of helping someone who needs a little
extra help and both of the people I work for have become friends."

Patterson Dormitory in Southwest is equipped to house handicapped students and Brett in
Central will soon be renovated. Approximately twenty-five students are employed as personal
care attendents at the university. Most handicapped students receive a monthly allowance of
state money through the Massachusetts Rehabilitation program or similar state agencies. Part
of this money is to be spent on the hiring of a personal care attendent like Peggy if the student
feels he or she needs the extra help someone like Peggy could offer.

According to Sandy Cohen, Peggy is an irreplaceable helper as well as a friend. For Peggy, her
rewards are many.

VV here is the best seat on campus to sit and watch the university go by? For Debbie
Higgins, the best seat is behind the Campus Center Assistance Desk where she has been a famihar
face for a few years.

On a busy morning, literally thousands of students pass by this familiar desk located on the
concourse level of the Campus Center directly next to tne Blue Wall. And on a busy morning, it
isn't unusual for thousands of questions to be asked.

The Assistance Desk workers know everything there is to know about UMass and it's rare that a
question cannot be answered. If they don't know the answer, you are usually sent in the direction of
someone who does. At a school the size of UMass, this desk could be called the "Help me, I'm Lost
Desk".

"What time do the busses run?" "When is the pool open for swimming?", "Who do I contact
about dropping a course?", "What time does the Bluewall open Sunday morning?". Where is, what
is, who is . . . help!!

Higgins always stays cool and knows most of the answers. "I love the job because I get to meet so
many people and I know I'm really helping a lot of people out", Higgins said. "The first few weeks
of school are when people are the most confused and so many look really bewildered walking
around. We do our best to help everyone get used to UMass."

UMass is confusing. Remember the first week here when you were trying to juggle maps,
schedules, course lists and names? And then again, there are times when second semester seniors
still get lost or forget their names. Stop by the Assistance Desk, Higgins may just have you on her
computer printout sheet.

Vjood evening everyone from Curry Hicks Cage at the University of Massachu-
setts . . . this is Minuteman Basketball. I'm Bob Levine with Rick Heideman bringing
you all the excitement of NCAA basketball."

Over sixty games, 20,000 miles, and seventeen states kept sports broadcasters Rick
Heideman and Bob Levine busy during their junior and senior years at UMass. Working
as radio broadcast team for the university station WMUA, Heideman and Levine brought
all the Minuteman action back to the listening fans who couldn't be with their team on
the road trips or who couldn't get to the Cage on the evenings of home games.

"There were times when it was tough to balance school and basketball," Levine said.
"It wasn't unusual for us to attend a 9:15 class, hop a plane at 11:00, do a game in
Washington at 7:00 and be back for an 11:15 class the next morning."

To transmit a visual picture of an exciting game over one thousand miles on a
telephone line is tough, but Heideman doing play-by-play and Levine doing color,
brought basketball games alive to fans back in Amherst.

With basketball fans like UMies, all radios were tuned to WMUA when the team was
away.

lartians were seen around these parts recently, and they were playing a thing called "Space Music". What??
"Space Music," according to Eric Berman, bass guitarist with the Amherst rock group, Martian Highway Band, is "music for music."
Apparently "music for music" is something similar to what we heard from the San Francisco rock and acid bands of the sixties. Martian
Highway has a sound reminiscent of the Grateful Dead and the Airplane. According to Berman, however, Martian Highway has a sound all its

own.

Berman is a twenty-year-old sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences.
A musician for many years, Berman plays the guitar, bongo, mandolin, bass
guitar and banjo. He has jammed with folk rock bands in the Amherst area,
both bluegrass and jugbands, as well as performed at Earthfoods and local
coffeehouses.

"I started playing the bass guitar four years ago when a rock band at my
high school needed a bass player", Berman said. "I bought my first bass for ten
dollars at a neighborhood garage sale. It had only two strings. When I started
playing at the audition, the group had their amps up so high, they didn't
realize I couldn't play ... I got the job."

Martian Highway began on the twenty first floor of Kennedy Tower when a
group of dedicated musicians were concerned about the lack of "Space Music"
in the Pioneer Valley. Bookings, according to Berman, are hot and the group is
expected to really catch soon. Fame and fortune, however, have not yet set in.
Be sure to keep an eye on the "Space Music" section of your favorite record
store. Martian Highway may soon top the charts.

From The Pioneer Valley
to The Pioneer Bowl

While running their winning streak to
10-0 in the Yankee Conference, the
UMass Minutemen captured the Beanpot
for the second straight year, were awarded
the Lambert Cup and were tagged by the
local press as New England Champs. And
finally, they earned a number two national
ranking in Division I-A.A., falling just one
touchdown short of a national champion-
ship in the Pioneer Bowl at Withata Falls,
Texas. But before the dust had settled in
the windblown Texas town, Coach Pickett
was named E.C.A.C. Div. I-A.A. coach of
the year.

Led by defensive captain Joe
McGloughlin and offensive captain Bruce
Kimball, the hard working Minutemen be-
gan "pumping iron" back in the dark ages
of December. Intense spring drills and a
summer of sacrifice followed. When pre-
season rolled around, the coaches had a
recklessly wild defense and a tough disci-
plined offense ready on September 16,
1979 for the opener against Villanova.

Although the Minutemen outplayed the
Cats and Dennis Dent had rushed for 178
yards, victory managed to elude them.
Two late fourth quarter touchdowns and
an illegal pick play allowed the Wildcats
to steal a 21-25 decision over the heartbro-
ken Minutemen.

Not to be denied a victory, the UMass
wild bunch led by coach Pickett, a U of
Maine graduate, came back the following
week to destroy the Black Bears from
Maine, 40-6. Cliff Pedrow provided the
major offensive punch, scoring two touch-
downs and rushing for 190 yards.

A tenacious UMass defense, led by an
iron wall defense-line and an interception
and fumble recovery by Steve LeMay,
held Maine to just 44 yards total rushing.

This excitement however was short
lived. The Minutemen found themselves 1-
2 after their third contest against Harvard.

Things looked glum as Morgan State
rolled into town. But a stubborn UMass
defense crushed any attempt by the visi-
tors to advance the ball. Led by senior
linemen Dave Bemis, Duncan Gillan, John
D'Amato, Steve Telander, John Mc-
Donald and linebackers Joe McGloughlin
and Steve Mclnnis, the Golden Bears only
totaled nine yards rushing.

On the other side of the pigskin, Dennis
Dent (a 100-yard kickoff return) along
with Sandro Vitiello (45-yard field goal)
and Hank Sarault (with two touchdowns)
had racked up 38 points to put the Minute-
men at 2-2 on the season.

UMass then headed east to face un-
beaten Boston University. The Min-
utemen pounded the Terriers on the
rain drenched turf, as lefty quarter-
back Mike McEvilly threw two
touchdown passes with Marty Pag-
lione and Mike Barbias; on the re-
ceiving ends. Hank Sarault rambled ,
for two more scores and Sandro Vi-t-
tiello booted another 41 -yard
field goal to put the contest win
in reach. On defense, John
Beerworth intercepted two passes leading
the mighty UMass defense to another fine
performance.

The stage was set for a clash of the
conference's unbeaten teams, UMass vs.
U.R.I.

This game had it all, but when the sun
was setting at Meade Stadium down in
Kingston town, the scoreboard read
UMass 19, U.R.I. 17. This victory sent the
Minutemen back to Alumni Stadium for
Homecoming in high spirits.

15,000 alumni, friends, relatives and
fans packed the UMass stadium, hoping
UConn would not spoil another Home-
coming. When the second UMass drive
was stopped just short of the goaline it
appeared the Homecoming jinx would rule
once again. However quarterback Mike
McEvilly broke that jinx with a 17-yard
touchdown pass to Hank Sarault and a
score of his own. Interceptions by Kevin
Maguire, John Beerworth and Kevin Sulli-
van along with fumble recoveries by Steve
Telander, Duncan Gillan and Steve Le-
May thwarted UConn offense and UMass
had it's fourth straight win.

In a tough, hard-hitting battle marred
by penalties, the Rutgers Scarlet Kinghts
downed the Minutemen 21-11. Hopes of
post-season play dwindled as the Minute-
men spent the next week preparing for the
best Holy Cross team in a decade.

Earlier in the season, the Crusaders had
been talking of bowl games themselves, so
the Minutemen welcomed them to their

^ \

own version of the Black and Blue Bowl, as
they bruised and battered a cocky Holy
Cross team. Dennis Dent, the game's most
valuable player, ran for 203 yards and two
touchdowns leading the offense to an im-
pressive 28 points. A blocked punt which
Steve Telander fell on in the end zone
added six more and the Minutemen had a
33-8 upset proudly notched in the win col-
umn. A 37-yard touchdown pass to Chuck
Balbonni and 14 tackles by Bobby Wilson
highlighted the successful afternoon on
the field.

The last Yankee Conference game fea-
tured the battle for the championship
against U.N.H. The Minutemen crushed
the Wildcats 34-7 in a lopsided affair,
thereby capturing their second Straight
Yankee Conference Championship. McE-
villy tossed touchdown passes to Chris
Kurtz and Kevin O'Connor while Dent
raced for two more scores. A sky high
UMass team then awaited the arrival of
Boston College.

Six years of humiliation along with
some personal frustrations had built the
Minutemen to a incredible emotional
state. B.C. never had a chance. The offen-
sive line anchored by Bruce Kimball, Mike
McGloughlin, Alec Westerland, Rich Bai-
ly and Carl Nyholm opened gaping holes
in the B.C. line as the Minutemen rolled
up 27 points without using the pass as a
weapon. Dennis Dent tallied 206 yards to
make him the first runner in UMass histo-
ry to run for over 1,000 yards. Sandro

Vitiello tied a school record with a 52-yard
field goal and John Beerworth set yet an-
other school record with his eighth inter-
ception of the year. UMass not only totally
out-played and out-classed B.C., but shut
'them out (40 yards total rushing, three
first downs and zero points). B.C. had
been humbled and UMass reigned as New
England Champs.

Without the services of Dave Bemis (out
with a broken ankle) and John Beerworth
(elegibility lost) the Minutemen headed
into the Div. I-A.A. playoffs, first stop
Reno, Nevada. They were greeted in the
barren, chilly, city of sin by the open-
mouth-insert-foot style of Nevada coach
Chris Ault, who had guaranteed the peo-
ple of Nevada that his 11-0 Wolfpack
would down UMass. By the beginning of
the fourth quarter, with UMass leading
44-7, Ault was unavailable for comment.

Three touchdowns by Cliff Pedrow, a

96-yard kickoff return by Dennis Dent, a
McEvilly to O'Connor bomb, three recep-
tions by Chris Kurtz and three intercep-
tions by Kevin Sullivan, had quieted the
Wolfpack mentor. In the words of coach
Bob Pickett "It was a fantastic day for the
University and the State of Massachu-
setts."

The sweetest victory of the year
launched the Minutemen into the Nation-
al Championship game in the Pioneer
Bowl at Wichita Falls, Texas.

In an A. B.C. nationally televised game,
the Minutemen battled it out with Florida
A & M. The lead changed six times at the
hands of a 35 m.p.h. wind in what was
unanimously labeled the most exciting col-
lege football game of the year. When it
was all over, UMass was still fighting back
as Chris Kurtz dove into the end zone at
the final bell. Florida A & M had a nation-
al championship in its grasp, 35-28, but

UMass had touched on an impossible
dream.

Not to be forgotten was the outstanding
job done by the specialty team throughout
the year, led by senior Bob Pinto.

The Minutemen dominated the Yankee
Conference All Star team with 17 mem-
bers and had one ail-American player in
senior guard Bruce Kimball, who signed
with the Pittsburg Steelers. Three other
players also signed with pro-teams: Mike
McGloughlin, Joe McGloughlin and Den-
nis Dent.

The season closed with an awards ban-
quet. Pro quarterback Gregg Landry
summed it up best when he said "the 1978
Minutemen football team brought a spe-
cial pride to the University and the State
of Massachusetts, one that will be cher-
ished forever."

Deb Farmer, Anne Bradshaw, Sophomores Tina Fran-

Burke, Robyn Dally, Judy McCrone, Tricia Moores, and

ship meet. The top seven runners from U Mass consisting
of Francario, Welzel, Burke, Moores, Farmer, Petrick,
and McCrone earned UMass a 4th place finish in the

UMass Falls Short in the Final Match
of the MAIAW State Championships

The final test of the season was the MAIAW State Championships at Worcester Polytechni-
cal Institute. The Minutewomen appeared to be the team to beat in Division 1 with a 2
game victory over Bridgewater State College and a split with Boston College, which set
the stage for the finals: UMass versus B.C . . In what turned out to be a very
competative and emotional match, UMass came out on the bottom side of a 13-15, 14-
16 score. The UMass players gave all they had and never let up during the match.
Despite a second place finish in Division 1, the team had much to be proud of.
Only one varsity player was lost through graduation and there is a solid nucleus of talent
returning next season. 1978 represented a total team effort with all members contribut-
ing equally to the success of the program. Varsity team members included freshwomen
Sally Anderson and Ellen Braun; sophomores Brenda Simmons, Peggy Barber, and
Maria Minicucci; juniors Joanne Eames, Donna Sasso, Chris Perrone, Pat
McGrath, and Joyce Gresl (team MVP and next year's captain) and Senior
captain Kathy Shinnick.

Pat McGrath
1978-79 was a good season for women's athletics at UMass, and the volleyball
program was no exception. Under first year coaches Mike Rhodes and Paul
Bauer, the varsity women's volleyball team enjoyed the best season in their
history with a 20-12-1 record. They employed a 6-2 (six spikers and two
setters) multiple play offense and utilized the middle hit more effec-
tively than ever before. The defense also showed a great improve-
ment with new diving techniques and super hustle from all the
players.

The spikers started the season in grand fashion by wm-
ning 10 of their first 12 matches. The two losses came at the
hands of the two eastern volleyball powers, Springfield College and
Southern Connecticut State College. In the middle of the season the
team seesawed between ups and downs by losing 3 of 4 matches
followed by 5 victories in a row. That set the stage for the University of
Rhode Island Invitational Tournament. UMass entered the tourney
with an impressive 17-5 record but proceeded to lose 5 of 6 matches.
UMass played several powerful teams including the University of
Maryland and Southern Connecticut. The lone victory, however, was

On the first day of school in the fall, the women's gymnastic team starts their
long intensive year of training to strive to be the best. Their competitive season
starts just after Thanksgiving and continues through mid April. Inlersession is
spent drilling and perfecting routines in Boyden Auxiliary Gym.

The results of this year's season showed 7 wins and two losses for the impressive
gym squad of 12 dedicated women athletes. One loss was to the National Champi-
ons Penn State. In Eastern Championships the UMass team place fourth and beat
University of New Hampshire who had handed the minutcwomen a loss earlier in
dual meet competition.

This was Virginia Evan's eighth year as a successful head coach of the womcns
gymnastic team. She was assisted by Mark Stevenson who hails from the Univer-
sity of Iowa. His first year of coaching the team was a tremendous asset lo ihe
team's successfulness.

A highlight of the season was the Springfield College meet. It was broadcasted
on public television and brought the highest team score for the season along with
many good individual scores.

Amy Riuli, a newly recruited freshman, had an exceptional first year at U Mass.
She was the only member to qualify for the National Championships. She also
made the All-East team on floor exercise where she charmed both the audience
and the judges. Amy has three years of competition ahead of her and we should be
seeing alot of her in the years to come.

Karen Hemberger was another excellent All-Around performer for the Min-
utewomen. Hampered by an injured knee last incurred last spring, Hemberger
had a slow start to this years season but recover rapidly and was the top all-around
performer by mid season. Unfortunately she reinjured herself warming up for the
eastern championships and was held back from championship competition.

The two senior members of the team, Cheryl Morrier and Jean Anderson, both
had a good last year of competition but were denied their opportunity to shine on
senior day when the event was cancelled because of problems on the opposing
team's side. Cheryl, co-captain, exhibited beautiful dancing ability in both floor
exercise and beam routines. Jean was a strong uneven bar specialist who contrib-
uted to the teams effort.

Another top all-around performer for the Minutewomen comes all the way
from Miami, Florida. Freshman Karen Ginsburg is an elite gymnast with an
experience background in the sport showed strength, difficulty and grace in all her
routines this year.

Sophomores Karen Clemente and Colleen Thornton both improved gradually
over the season and peaked just in time for the eastern championships. Clemente
made finals on the uneven bars while Thornton qualified on the balance beam.

Co-Captain Laurie Knapp added both enthusiasm and consistent beam perfor-
mances to the team. Laurie had a fine junior year and is a great asset to the team.

The most improved gymnast for this years season was Heidi Mildendcr. A
freshman from Randolph Ma, Heidi showed outstanding potential on all four
events.

Hard working and determined Debbie Smith, added depth to the team and
showed improvement in both floor exercise routines and vaulting.

Two top recruits, Lisa Martin and Chris Paul were injured throughout the
season. Although Lisa did vault with a hurt wrist and earned some extra points to
help out the team. Both have fine ability and will hopefully be back in action next
year.

The gymnasts devoted many hours to practicing each day every week all season
long and should be commended for the fantastic job they do in upholding the fine
tradition of a fine gymnastic program here at the University.

Relations Between Players and
Coach Strained, Leaman Quits

The season opened with a 14 point victo-
ry over the Harvard Crimson and ended
with the resignation of head coach Jack
Leaman. Such was the season for the 78-
79 Minutemen. It was a season filled with
player-coach dissension, erratic play and
few highlights.

Preseason articles were filled with hope
for the cagers, what with star Mark Hay-
more (eighth in the nation in shooting the
previous year) returning along with a solid
veteran cast including seniors Len Kohl-
haas. Brad Johnson, Eric Williams and
junior guard Billy Morrison. But before
the season had a chance to begin, relations
between the players and Coach Leaman
had become strained. Guard Juan Hol-
comb walked off the team and forward
George Dennerlein almost came to phys-
ical grips with the coach. It was this type
of dissension that hounded the team
throughout the year, effecting their play.

The season opening win over Harvard
may have looked like a good sign of things
to come but such vvas not the case. For its
second game of the year, UMass traveled

to Pitt to meet the Panthers. The meeting
was not a joyous one as the Panthers ran
away from the Minutemen and strolled
home with a 70-54 triumph.

This defeat was followed by a loss to
Boston University and their coach former
UMass player Rick Pitino. The loss oc-
curred at the cage which only made it
worse.

Before intersession came around, the
Minutemen put on a comeback spurt, win-
ning back games against Northeastern and
Vermont, the latter triumph coming on
two Eric Williams foul shot with one sec-
ond remaining. Notable about the two vic-
tories was that they both came on the road.

Most students enjoy intersession; the
students that comprised the hoop team did
not however. The vacation period began
with a tough home arena loss to the
UConn Huskies. This was followed by a
loss to Holy Cross, a double setback at the
Gator Bowl tournament in Jacksonville,
Florida, a horrendous effort against West
Virginia and a loss to Villanova.

For most, a trip to Florida during the
winter is a treat, but not for the Minute-
men who suffered huge defeats at the Ga-
tor Bowl tourney, falling to Florida Uni-
versity, 89-65, and Pitt, 87-68. The only
shining light in the tourney was the play
of Brad Johnson, unjustly left off of the
tournament all-star team.

To break up the monotony of losing,
the Minutemen pulled out a tight 66-62
victory over the Friars at Providence.
But the sweet smell of success did not
linger as the Colonials of George Wash-
ington University dumped the Minute-
men 81-69.

Undaunted by this defeat the Min-
utemen came back to defeat New
Hampshire 61-57, after blowing a
healthy lead in the game.

As the spring semester began, the
losses continued. First it was a loss to
Rutgers followed by a single point loss
to Duquesne. Then a loss to Sly Wil-
liams and URI and a loss to UConn.
The losing just never seem to end.

Next came the most pathetic show-
ing of the year as the Black Bears of
Maine University embarassed the Min-
utemen at the Cage 85-67. To make
matters as bad as they could get, the
team lost to Division II rival Bentley
College by a whopping twenty points,
92-72, before a huge crowd. This

was followed by a
losing trip to
Piscataway
and Rutgers
University.

Thankfully
there was only
one game left,
a home game
against Penn
State — Senior
Night. But the
festivities of sen-
ior night were
overshadowed by
the fact that head
coach Jack Lea-
man had an-
nounced his resignation
after thirteen years at the helm, effective
at season's end.

It had not been an easy year for the
coach. His players had lost respect for him
and each daily practise and official game
were wearing the seemingly unshatterable
coach to a frazzle. The expected loss by
the Minutemen on Senior Night, losing
having become a standard thing, meant
nothing — an athletic legend was gone.

As is custom in the Eastern Eight, the
league UMass plays in, no matter how
poor a regular season a team may have, it
is still eligible for the league playoffs. So
UMass was given a second chance to live,
a chance for salvaging a lost season.

The Villanova Field House, known to
their fans as the "Cathouse" was the scene
for the playoff battle between UMass and
the Wildcats of Villanova.

It appeared as though a new UMass
team had emerged, one with fire, spirit and
determination. The Minutemen battled
the Wildcats from start to finish and after
a regulation forty minute game, the score
was knotted at 67. For the night, it seemed
that the tension between coach and play-
ers, and the lifeless efforts that appeared
often during the regular season had never
occurred.

But the overtime period brought reality
back into the picture as the Wildcats
pulled out a 78-73 victory over the valiant
Minutemen.

And so the season ended; a season that
will be hard to forget for both statistical
and emotional reasons.

#1 in New England

The Minutewomen of UMass posted
their best season record at 18-7 and staked
their claim as one of the best teams in New
England.

It was not a team of stars but a team
that incorporated a total team orientation
of offense and defense to stymie the oppo-
sition. Once again the team was led by the
scoring and play of Sue Peters who made
UMass history in January against St.
John's by becoming the first UMass wom-
an to score 1000 career points. The team's
hidden strength though was in the play of
junior center Julie Ready. Ready, who was
a transfer student the year before, joined
the team in January and was awarded the
Collegian Player of the Year. Ready
scored at an impressive 16-3 clip and led
the team in rebounding.

The regular season was frosted by a vic-
tory against the number one team in New
England, Southern Conn State College,
who had frustrated the Minutewomen for
three long years. For the first time in the
program's history UMass was awarded the
top spot in the New England polls.

It was a season of frustration and exper-
ience. The team was maligned and ignored
by a press that glamorized local favorites
such as Springfield College and Boston
University. For example, after the Min-
utewomen thrashed BU during a regular
season game, the UMass victory was ex-
plained as a fluke because the star of BU,
Debra Miller was unable to play. Later the
critics were silenced by the play of the
Minutewomen who whipped BU in the
state tourney and came back to beat the
same team one week later in the Eastern
Regional tourney.

The 1979 Minutewomen fielded the
strongest front line in their history. Joining
Julie Ready up front was Maura Supinski
whose defense shut down the opposition's
power forward, and freshwoman Tricia
Corcoran who displayed a mature playing
attitude seldom seen in a first year player.
Mary Halleran was the "other guard"
with Sue Peters. Although Halleran was
often in the shadow opf the flasher Peters,
Halleran gave the backcourt another di-
mension in her outstanding defensive play.
Halleran's speed cursed the opposition
forcing turnovers and bad passes.

The bench of the Minutewomen was
i'ery deep, giving yet another dimension to
the team. Cathy Harrington and transfer
player Ginger Legare spelled the front-
court starters and proved to th6 opposition
that UMass was represented by quality
players. Harrington hustled on both
ends of the court and often kept
the ball alive for the Minutewo-
men with outstanding offensive re-
bounding. Ginger Legare joined
the team in January and was not
expected to adjust to the team
as quickly as she did,
but Leagre's steady play
helped the Minutewomen in
crucial situations where fouls on Ready or
Supinski made the goings tough.

Captain Grace Martinello, the only sen-
ior on the team, provided great leadership
according to coach Mary Anne Ozdarski.

In the early season Ozdarski alternated
the starting five, who played a man-to-
man defense with a second five, nick-
named "the bomb squad."

Later on in the season the bomb squad
was disbanded because Ozdarski felt that
the players had gained the confidence in
themselves that made the platooning of
players unnecessary. After a tough in-
tersession the Minutewomen dropped four
straight games. The Minutewomen went
on a tear during the "second" half of their
season. The team not only beat respectable
teams such as Springfield College, UConn
and BU but destroyed each team with a
diversity of play that left the opponents
shaking their heads. Many teams tryed to
deny Sue Peters the ball and played a sag-
ging defense to stop Julie Ready. Howev-
er, they left themselves open to the outside
jumpers of Tricia Corcoran and Jen Park-
er or the soft inside jumpers of Cathy Har-
rington.

The freshwomen on the team provided

\-v

spark. Sherry
Collins and Fran
Troy hustled for ev-
ery loose ball and re-
bound, playing tough
defense and a smart of-
fense.

One example of this
team's gutsy play was a
match against the UConn Hus-
kies at the Huskies homecourt. Although
the Minutewomen were leading at the half
44-40, the Huskies played them tough,
cutting Julie Ready out of the offense and
keeping her away from the offensive
boards with a potent sagging defense. The
Minutewomen came back in the second
half on fire, putting a lid over the Huskies
basket with a tough defense and press that
forced UConn into errors. Coach Ozdarski
commented, "UConn played so well the
first half that it made us play harder the
second half." UMass concentrated and
collared the Huskies, outrebounding the
tough UConn Team 61-22 and blowing
them out 102-78.

The Minutewomen finished the regular
season on fire and proceeded to take the
state championship for the third time. For
the first time in the history of the program,
the Minutewomen had a chance to enter
into the national tourney, but it was not to
be. In the semi-finals the Minutewomen
again faced rivals Southern Conneticut
State College. Southern Conn had been
there before being the only team in the
nation to make the national tourney every
year of its existence. The inexperience of
the Minutewomen showed and the battle-
tested Owls of Southern Conn slipped past
the Minutewomen 65-64 in the final 30
seconds of play.

Canniff.

The U.Mass 1978-79 hockey team completed its
last collegiate season 1-18-1. The season's record did
not show the team's true ability. Senior co-captains
Joe Milan and John Peters along with Seniors Nick
Carney and Ron Valicenti highlighted this season's
ice time. Junior Ken Richard was the top scorer with
10 goals and 11 assists and Senior Joe Milan was
second with a total of eighteen points. Junior Jamie
Benelli and freshman standout Mark Giordani were
tied for third with 16 points apiece. Carney was
fourth highest scorer with 5 goals and 8 assists.

This season's oppositions were tough, but the sea-
son was highlighted with the U.Mass victory of tough
Boston State. The team was plagued with injuries
throughout the season. Injuries to co-captains Joe
Milan and John Peters crippled the team both offen-
sively and defensively. U.Mass goalies Casy Scavone,
freshman Jeff Moore, and Mike Gruberski shared
the net minding chores.

The dedication of the 78-79 team and coach Jack
Caniff and assistant, P.J. Flaherty was extensive. The
team, not having its own rink, was forced to practice
whenever and wherever the was free ice, whether it
be in Amherst, Springfield or at Williston Academy.
"Home" games were played at Amherst College and
the players had to provide their own transportation.
This sort of sacrifice can only be admired of the
U.Mass team. We are proud to have had such dedi-
cated and talented players for U.Mass in its last
season. Debbie Roden

The 1978-79 season for womans swimming and diving had many high and low
points. For the first time in UMASS history, the women beat powerhouse Springfield
College and unexpectedly defeated a strong team from Boston College. Throughout
the season many best time performances were achieved by all of the swimmers.

There were a number of swimmers, who through personal improvement arose to
point scoring level. Co-captain Deb Shwartz was the most valuable swimmer for the
second year in a row, compiling the highest point total. Senior Co-captain Rachel
Mack contributed greatly to team spirit and morale while also scoring many points.
Senior Lynn Lutzalso contributed greatly to the team. Caroline Benjamin, Gail
Holland, and Kathie Countie were outstanding point scorers. Marianne Primivera
improved all of her best times, and sophomore Cindy Piela cut one second off her
50yd. butterfly time. Coached by Bruce Parsons, Suzy Strobel and Loring Miles did a
nice job diving for UMASS. Transfer students Nancee Shifflet and Michelle Wong
contributed immensely during the second half of the season. Transfer student Kathie
Driscoll set a new New England diving record in the one meter diving event.

Head swimming coach John Nunnelly hopes that through recruiting and internal
development, the team will be able to improve and compete with the more developed
programs in New England.

WATER POLO

5th Place In New England

The Umass Water Polo Club ended a tough season with a 9-6 win over Dartmouth and a
5th place showing in New Englands.

This club a couple of years ago attempting to gain varsity status in an attempt to stay with
other top-rate New England teams was turned down by the Athletic Dept. With this setback
the former N.E. Champions were forced to compete, somewhat shorthanded against Divi-
sion I powerhouses of Brown Univ. and MIT who make yearly trips to California to play in
national caliber tournaments.

Led by seniors Joel Meltz, George Collias and Bill Tharion, UMass posted a respectable
10-11 record. Meltz, Collias, and sophomore Chris Lomas provided much of the firepower
for the offensive attack, hitting the net a total of 92 times between them.

"Big" Dave Young and goalie Bill Tharion shored up the defense to turn away offensive
intruders, with Tharion getting recognition as one of the better goalies in New England with
nominations for All-New England in the Annual Coaches Poll in the fall.

UMass Water Polo future looks bright with the "rookie tandem" of Mike Rowbotham
and Ed Lizotte along with 2nd year men Chris Lomas and Jay DeCoste all playing AAU
Polo this spring.

Water Polo is alive and well at UMass and is on its way up to compete again with the

varsity powerhouses.

The UMass men's crew, under head coach Chick Leonard and
Frosh coach Dave Kumlin enjoyed a very successful season overall.

The Varsity squad boated three crews, the Varsity Eight, a
Junior Varsity eight and a Varsity four. The JV's were impressive
as they won all of their early races easily by a wide margin. They
faltered a bit as they dropped two close ones, both to the U.S. Coast
Guard Academy, UMass' arch rival, neither one by more than four
seconds. The J'V's came back, however, to win the Gold medals at
the Dad Vail Regatta, the national championships of collegiate
rowing, decisively defeating the Guard.

The Varsity looked strong in the early part of the season posting
victories over Marist College, Temple and Drexel Universities. The
first boat faltered near the end, however, finishing a disappointing
fifth out of twelve at the New England Invitationals, and just barely
being edged out of a qualifying spot at the Vail. This year's Varsity
eight included co-captains Jim Clair and Gary Murtagh, Seniors
Tom Lovely, Steve Westra, Dave Caruso and Juniors Bob Hanson,
Karl Lieblich and Pat Bronder. The Varsity four included Seniors
Scott Finch and Sepp Bergsnieder.

The Frosh under Coach Kumlin were especially impressive as
they were undefeated in the regular season, posting victories in both
the Freshman eight and four at the New England's. Unfortunately,
both crews succumbed to the same ailment as the Varsity as they
were barely edged out of qualifying for the finals at the Vail.

LIGROSSE

Place 2nd In Nationals

The UMass men's lacrosse team en-
joyed a great season in 1979, finishing the
regular season ranking sixth in the nation
and participating in the NCAA tourna-
ment for the third time in the last four
years. The team also won its fourth con-
secutive New England championship.

There were also several momentous in-
dividual achievements, highlighted by vet-
eran coach Dick Garber's 200th career
coaching victory. Garber, in his 25th sea-
son as UMass lacrosse coach, got the big
win when the Gorillas beat Harvard 16-13,
May 8. On the condition of the milestone
victory a typically modest Garber said,
"Coaches don't win games, players do."

Senior attackman Brooks Sweet was

among the nation's leading scorers and
was named a Division 1 First All-America,
the only New Englander accorded the
honor. Sweet's 87 points in '79 tied the
UMass single-season record and his two-
year total of 172 points made him the sec-
ond leading all-time UMass scorer. Sweet
was also selected, along with teammates
Norm Smith and Roger Coe, to play in the
prestigious North-South game, an annual
event which features the best seniors in the
country.

Smith and sophomore Ed Murray, both
midfielders, received All-America honor-
able mention.

The Minutemen rode a strong second
half performance into the tourney, knock-
ing off two highly-ranked teams in the last
week of the season. At mid-season the
team was only 4-4 and chances were nil
that it would be one of the eight chosen for
the tournament. Things started to change
April 28 when the Gorillas defeated the
UNH team coached by Dick Garber's son
Ted, 24-13.

After that, the then-unranked Minute-
men beat sixth in the nation Army May 5
at West Point, as senior goaltender Don
"Duck" Goldstein played perhaps his best
game of the season. Later in the year,
Garber pointed to the Army win as pivot-
al. "That game made us believers," he
said.

Next came Garber's 200th win over pe-
rennial New England rival Harvard, and

on May 11 the Gorillas upset seventh-
ranked Syracuse 15-12. Two days later the
team was notified that it had been selected
for the NCAA tournament and would play
third-ranked Navy. UMass lost the game
played at Annapolis, 16-14 and ended the
season with a deceptive 8-5 record.

Senior members of the team included:
Sweet, Smith, Coe (a defenseman who
played very well in '79) Goldstein, irre-
pressible Harry Conforti, Steve Dahl,
Toby Rice, Peter Klement, Tom Keenan,
Eric Banhazl and Ray McKinney.

RSO, DVP, SCERA, SUPE,
UPC, BOG, SGA, UMSFCU,
PGA, LU, MDC, BOC (heh,
heh)- sound confusing? These
are just some of the over 400
organizations on campus which
are run and funded by students.
Whatever your hobby or inter-
est, there's probably a group for
you. If not, you can always start
your own.

We can't cover all the organiza-
tions on campus, but on the fol-
lowing pages, you'll find a sam-
pling of the many clubs, media
group, political groups and other
organizations the UMass stu-
dents have to offer each other.

_;The winter of 1978-79 did not provide
good weather for skiing, but the UMass Ski
Club persevered just the same. The club,
one of the largest at the University, spon-
sored a week-long trip to Sugarbush, Ver-
mont during January break.

Its annua! ski sale filled the Student Union
Ballroom with ski equipment and buyers from
all over New England. ■'^"

Cabin Fever

1978-79 was a big year for the UMass Outing Club. In January, after nine months of construction,
members of the club completed a 16x40 ft. cabin in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The
cabin is fully winterized, heated by a wood-burning stove, and has sleeping space for 20 people in its
upper loft.

Over 150 people donated at least one weekend of work on the project, which was conceived in the
spring of 1976 and funded through contributions from alumni and students working at beer conces-
sions at the spring concerts of 1977 and 1978.

The new cabin provides easy access to many activities for anyone who wants to use it. It is situated
on a wooded hillside with hiking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails leading from the back
door, and downhill ski areas such as Cannon and Mitterskill just minutes away. Rock climbing is
available at nearby Cannon, Eagle Cliffs and Crawford Notch, and White water canoeing opportunities
include the Ammonooscu, Gale and Saco Rivers.

The year 1978-79 was marked by a trans- Atlantic balloon crossing to Paris, four track records se
by Henry Rono of Kenya, and at UMass, Stuart Calle and the Massachusetts Racquets Club
created the world's largest scrabble board. Over a weekend in September, scrabble players from each
of the five colleges in the area came to play on the colossal 2500 square foot foam rubber board.
Representatives from the national media were also on hand to record the event in Curry Hicks Cage.
By selling perimeter board space to local merchants for advertising, the club was able to make

several hundred dollars for equipment, coaching, and court repair.

Part of the proceeds from the game also went to the American

Cancer Society.

Twice a year, an unusual treat awaits audiences at NOPE pool.
The lights are dimmed and the NAIADS put on a musical show of
synchronized swimming and underwater ballet.

The Naiads are a co-ed group of 25-30 members who practice
nightly for their two shows a year. The group creates the choreogra-
phy for each show as well.

The UMass Sporting Goods Coop is

the only known coop of its kind in the coun-
try. It opened in the spring of 1978 in a small
roonn in the basement of the Campus Center
and moved this year to the Student Union
Building.

The main objective of the new coop is to
offer quality merchandise at reasonable
prices. This year, the coop was extremely
successful in selling racquetball equipment,
sweat suits, sneakers and gymwear. Other
popular items included basketballs, soccer
balls, tennis balls, baseball bats, table tennis
equipment, dartboards and hockey sticks.

Although many of the volunteers who run
the coop are sport management majors, oth-
ers include accounting, forestry, and art.

As the popularity of photography has
grown, so has the UMass Photo Co-
op. This year, active membership in the
co-op rose to over 40 members, and the
co-op served more than 600 customers a
week.

The Photo Co-op, founded in 1976,
provides low-cost film, processing, photo-
graphic supplies, and gives students
hands-on experience in areas such as
sales, management, marketing, and ac-
counting.

Future plans include expansion of ser-
vices to make a wider range of merchan-
dise available, and sponsoring slide
shows, films, and photography contests.

There is no question tliat stereos are popular at
UMass. From Sylvan to the towers at Southwest,
music can be heard almost any hour of day or
night.

Union Stereo Co-op offers students an al-
ternative to high-priced stereo equipment. Be-
cause of its low overhead, the co-op gives the best
prices around to its members.

Originally, the co-op just gave advice to stereo
buyers and held seminars. But now, it sells every-
thing from $1,000 systems to tapes and head-
phones.

Soon, the co-op will be expanding even more
when it moves to a new location in the Student
Union Building.

Union Records Unlimited

was established in the spring of
1979, replacing Union Record Ser-
vice. The new student run, non-
profit organization offers UMass
students an economical alternative
to high-priced record stores in the
area.

Besides low-priced records,
Union Records Unlimited carries
paraphernalia, accessories, tapes,
posters, and T-shirts. For a dollar a
semester, students can join the co-

(^Illl*" RGCORDS

op and get added discounts on the
already low prices. Members also

get free posters, up to 50(1; off on
weekly album specials, and a free
chance at weekly raffles.

Union Records Unlimited also of-
fers a unique special ordering pro-
gram to all students. At no cost,
they will order any recent album or
tape and hold it.

Union Records will remember 1978-
79 by Billy Joel, Blondie, Bob Dy-
lan, disco, and the Grateful Dead.

Doing it With Interest

Few other student-run organizations on campus matcln the
accomplishments of the UMass Student Federal Credit
Union. Since it was chartered by the federal government in
March, 1975, the credit union has grown to become the largest
and most successful student credit union in the nation.

In 1978-79, the credit union had 3500 members, who shared
in half a million dollars in assets. Check-cashing, check-writing,
savings accounts and loans at reasonable prices were among
the benefits available to all members. For the hundreds of
students with University jobs, an automatic service was avail-
able to transfer student payrolls into member accounts, either in
part or as a whole.

In addition, the credit union made services such
as food stamp distribution, money orders and
traveler's checks available to the public.

All this was done by a completely volunteer
staff of ninety or so members.

The Student Auto Workshop was a busy
place this year. Over 50 people a week made use
of the workshop, located in the Campus Center
Garage.

Those who used the workshop found it an eco-
nomical place to beat the expensive costs of com-
mercial service stations. Rates at the shop are
less than half of what what most self-help stations
charge.

By providing all kinds of tools and a staff of
four-five qualified mechanics, the workshop also
encourages people to learn how to work on their
own cars.

The Student Auto Workshop isn't just for cars,
either. Also seen there this year were bikes,
trucks, and even lawnmowers.

The indoor location of the workshop has also
made it an ideal place for cleaning as well as
repair.

800 Bagels A Day

People's Market is a student-run co-op
known for its good food and low prices. The food
sold at the market is fresh, whole, and natural,
and bought, in most cases, from small local ven-
dors or area co-ops.

There are over sixty bins in the store, filled with
everything from garbanzo beans to raisins. In
addition, the market carries dairy products, fresh
fruits and vegetables, canned goods, lunch
items, munch foods, and non-food items.

And of course, the list would not be complete
without mentioning that beloved circular treat —
the bagel. Over 800 of these are delivered fresh
daily and sold.

Earthfoods is the source of
nutritious, inexpensive vegetarian
meals whicli are served cafeteria
style in a relaxed atmosphere.
Located in the Commonwealth
Lounge of the Student Union
Building, the collective provides a
place for non-smokers to gather
while consuming a variety of
items. Served daily this year were
soup, muffins, salad, tea, dessert,
and a nutritionally balanced
entree.

Volunteers are encouraged to
participate in cooking in ex-
change for a meal. Musicians
may also share their talents with
Earthfoods patrons in exchange
for a free feeding.

Earthfoods often sponsors and
always encourages programs de-
signed to increase awareness of
proper nutrition, the world hunger
situation, and alternatives to prof-
it. A major part of the contribu-
tion Earthfoods makes to the
community is providing exposure
to alternative eating and business
habits within our society.

they won at the National Debate Tournament in Lexington,
Ky., (above), and Vice-President Alan Rosenbloom and
Nicholas Burnett defend morality in foreign affairs in a
public debate against a team from New Zealand (below).

Robert Frost is quoted as saying, "|-ialf ttie
world is composed of people wl-io liave some-
thing to say and can't, and tine otiier liaif who
have nothing to say and l<eep on saying it."
The UMass Debate Union attempts to
bring together the best of both worlds by pro-
moting a rational discussion of current social
problems.

From modest beginnings in 1909, the De-
bate Union has survived Calvin Coolidge as a
coach, a temporary suspension of activities
during World War II, and the budgetary pres-
sures of the 70's. Under the direction of Pro-
fessor Ronald Matlon, who assumed his lead-
ership role in 1966, the Debate Union has
grown from a regionally based program to a
nationally competitive team. This year the De-
bate Union's intercollegiate teams tooi< part in
over 400 debates with 142 colleges and uni-
versities from 33 states. In addition, juniors Ed
Panetta and Dave Smith qualified for the Na-
tional Debate Tournament held in Lexington,
Ky., and placed 30th in a field of over 500
teams.

Besides competing in intercollegiate, the
Debate Union also sponsors an active audi-
ence debate program that takes them to
classes on campus as well as high schools and
civic clubs all over New England. This year the
audience program presented 63 debates on
such topics as Nazi protests, pornography vs.
censorship, and press freedoms. Among the
highlights of the audience program was the
beginning of a working arrangement of weekly
debates with prisoners at the Norfolk State
Prison and an international debate between
UMass and a team representing New Zealand.

■I You've gotta pay your dues, if you wa
nbeknownst to the rest of campus, there are method switched to "camera ready," a process

^Unbeknownst to the rest of campus, there are
those of us who spend most of our waking — and
sometimes sleeping — hours in the Bottom of the
Campus Center putting together New England's
largest college daily newspaper.

An interestingly insane mix of fun, stress, laugh-
ter, pressure, parties, frustrations and mercurial
cumulative averages, the COLLEGIAN reports
events and examines issues — and not always
thoroughly.

While informing its constituency of campus, lo-
cal, national and international noteworthy hap-
penings, it provides those students interested in
seeking careers in any aspect of newspaper pro-
duction- business, reporting, graphic arts and
photography — with valuable training.

Many changes are wrought by the coming of
new students, new ideas and technological ad-
vances. This year, the Collegian's production

method switched to "camera ready," a process
which allows for the completion of the newspaper,
except for the printing, to be done in the Campus
Center offices. Taking the successfulness of this
step into consideration, who knows what changes
can be effected by future Collegian staffers, as
more students stop by for a semester, maybe
even a year or two; and our basic operational
knowledge expands to incorporate more progres-
sive methods.

Few people realize that some 200 students
contribute in some fashion to the Collegian's daily
production. That's probably because the newspa-
per seems to miraculously appear daily in various
campus locations. More often than not, the only
time anyone really "notices" the Collegian is
when Doonesbury or the crossword puzzle has
been omitted due to space limitations, or some
group feels it has been dealt with inaccurately.

Nummo News is a weekly newspaper pub-
lished by black students at UMass which has
been in existance for eight years. The paper is
the only black newspaper in the five-college
area.

The main focus of Nummo News is to con-
centrate on black and Third World news that
has traditionally been ignored or granted back
page status by non-Third World media. It at-
tempts to educate the entire community on is-
sues that are of concern to Third World people
on campus. Nummo is a forum where Third
World students debate issues of importance
and constructively criticize those members of
campus that consistantly oppose the progres-
sive efforts of Third World people.

This year, Nummo provided the community
with a Third World viewpoint on numerous is-
sues such as the death of Seta Rampersad, the
high unemployment of Third World people in
this country, and the crucial questions sur-
rounding the events in Southern Africa. These
issues had received less than adequate cover-
age in the valley media.

Nummo News also provides a training ground
for students interested in the many facets of
newspaper production. There is on-the-job
training in type-setting, photography, writing,
graphics, newspaper layout, and business man-
agement.

Individual creativity is often Inard to
find in a University of over twenty tfiou-
sand students. Spectrum magazine
offers one answer, however. It provides
an outlet for literary and artistic ability,
while providing the University with a
high quality literary-fine arts magazine
at the same time.

Twelve years ago, Spectrum started
as a general interest magazine de-
signed for written and visual communi-
cation of almost any subject. It was
eventually refined to the literary-fine
arts format it assumes today.

In its attempt to produce a high
quality magazine. Spectrum has won
two major awards over the past few
years. In 1976, it was recognized for
graphic excellence, and in 1978, it was
given the distinction of winning a na-
tional award for four color separations.

Drum Magazine is an expression of the Black experience
at the University of Massachusetts. It is diverse in its coverage
and displays a variety of talented artist's works. Its works include
poetry, photography, short stories, and selected pieces exhibit-
ing visual techniques. The magazine's scope ranges from issues
of repression in South Africa and the struggles of political prison-
ers in the U.S.A. (United States of America/Union of South
Africa) to photographic material from the Nigerian Festac Cele-
bration and the University's Third World community.

Drum represents a portfolio of the many inner emotions — the
stresses and the strains, the pleasures and the ecstacies — each
playing an integral part in the composition of becoming con-
scious of one's identity. The staff has consistently been about
"getting over".

Throughout Drum's short existance of ten years, it has only hit
upon a pinnacle of knowledge and great fortune of which we are
all a part.

I'M SUCH A FOOL

That would set me free

And discard my native dress
But whiat is worse

You put lye on my hair
And told me what to wear:

Ever wonder who or what is
responsible for those TV shows
which attract crowds as they
make their way through the
Campus Center or Student
Union Building?

The answer is the Union
Video Center, located on
the second floor of the Student
Union Building.

The Union Video Center, also re-
ferred to as the Student Video Pro-
ject, is a non-profit professionally
and student staffed production
group and media center which
maintains a video training, produc-
tion and programming facility at
UMass. An advocate of participa-
tory TV, UVC makes available and
encourages the use of video
equipment in order that students
and the surrounding community
might have an opportunity to ex-
press their ideas, values, and life-
styles.

UVC sponsors two broad cate-
gories of production projects -
general access and UVC sanc-
tioned productions. Criterion for
both include that the users be cer-
tified before using the equipment.
General access are the projects
that may have no particular end in
mind and are carried out by mem-
bers of the general community.
Sanctioned projects are more in-
volved and require the approval of
a committee made up of student
users.

For those interested in obtaining
use and skill in video taping, the
center schedules workshops
which lead to certification.

UVC also has a program li-
brary for general access to the
community. Programming
ranges from video art to satire,
dance and social documentary
and has been produced both lo-
cally and nationally.

UVC has grown considerably
in the past few years, and many
new concepts have been put
into motion. It is now planning to
hold advanced production work-
shops to assist those users who
want to further a real interest in
video. These sessions will in-
clude not only working with the
equipment towards a viable end,
but also a critiquing session
where hopefully users will help
one another gain a more incite-
ful eye as to their projects.

ways. It may not be noticable right away, but for the
students who remain, WMUA should be a more pro-
fessional and effective means of communication be-
tween students and the comrriunities it serves.

Life is Just a Game

The players and partiers came
early and full of spirit, bringing
with them a reservoir of cosmic
energy. And by Solar Noon of
April 28, the Hatch was filled with
over six hundred eager rollers in
the 4th Annual Cosmic Winn-
pout Global Tournament and In-
verse Film Festival.

The incentive was strong — a
grand prize of 250 two dollar bills.
There was also a $500 stereo
system door prize. But the
thought of prizes faded into the
background of music and merri-
ment as the players sat down to

roll their cosmic cubes. The real
objective of just about everyone
there, was to win that coveted
title - Cosmic Wimpout Global
Champions.

For those who haven't played,
Cosmic Wimpout is a dice game
where you race other players to
500 points. You can roll as long
as you want, but if you roll and
don't score, you "wimp out" and
lose your points for that turn.
While the game is played all over
the country, Amherst is its "spiri-
tual home" and the site of its an-
nual World Tournament. This
year's tournament was the big-
gest and best in wimpout history.

For those who wimp out, the
party was hardly over. In the car-
nival-like atmosphere which last-
ed well into the morning, there
were mimes, costumes, and cir-
cus wagons. There was dancing
to four bands which entertained
throughout the tournament. And
of course, the wimpout clowns
were there to add their zaniness
to the festivities.

One of the high points in the

afternoon was the exciting cham-
pionship match between John
Kirkman fromMackimmie House,
and Norma DeMattos, a Mt. Ho-
lyoke sophomore. The final
round: two out of three games to
500, winner take all.

John won the first game hand-
ily, and was on his way to taking
the second when Norma came up
with a surprise roll of 155 while
John was rooted at 490. In the
thrilling finale, the game went
down to the wire. John, who
passed Norma in his "last lick"
roll while they were both over
500, decided to be just a bit too
greedy. Wimp Out!!

But, no one in the tournament
was really a loser. For the ones
who rolled Freight Trains and the
ones who just wimped out, the
tournament was definitely a ce-
lestial experience. It brought with
it the wimpout philosophy - that
there are no roles to life. And it
brought with it the Wimpout play-
ers, for whom life is just a game.

There is a group on campus,
consisting of Five-College stu-
dents and local residents, which
exists for the sole purpose of
playing gannes.

The Strategy Games Club
doesn't play your ordinary run-
of-the-mill games, however. The
club deals with a great variety of
somewhat obscure games, most
of which are based on past and
future conflicts. Some, however,
are based on fantasy and sci-
ence fiction books like Starship
Troopers or Lord of The Rings.

Other types of games include
miniatures and roie-playing
games. Miniatures are played
with small lead figures (tanks,
dragons, ships, spacecrafts,
etc.) over a large area. Role-
playing games are played with
pencil, paper, and a lot of imagi-
nation.

The Strategy Games Club has
been in existance for seven
years, and meets annually.

Voice of tiie People

The Undergraduate Stu-
dent Senate has continually
worked towards a goal of stu-
dents having more control over
decisions that effect the quality
of the academic programs,
housing, food, and general stu-
dent services at UMass. Stu-
dents working together in gover-
nance bodies, organizations,
clubs, businesses and coops
necessarily entails a view of the
University that calls for active in-
volvement in the formulation of
the policies that affect the edu-
cation and self-determination
that students requires.

The Undergraduate Senate is
responsible for dispersing over
$1.4 million in Student Activities
taxes (SATF) collected each
year. A look at the budget allo-
cations of the SATF shows that
the Student Senate has made a
committment to improving the
quality of life for students at
UMass. The list of funded stu-
dents organizations is diverse in
nature, but all provide practical
educacational experience while
also providing activities and ser-
vices by students for students.

There are over 400 student

organizations recognized by the
Undergraduate Student Senate
which enrich the entire Universi-
ty by providing concerts, mov-
ies, conferences, lectures, and
other special events and ser-
vices. Over 5,000 students are
involved in some aspect of stu-
dent government and student
organizations. In the Student
Senate, there 130 students
elected from their respective
areas.

This year, the Senate was the
catalyst organization on numer-
ous issue campaigns such as
opposing increases in tuition,
budget cuts, the raising of the
drinking age, revision of aca-
demic requirements, the cam-
paign to combat racism, the
campaign against violence
against women, rent control, im-
plementing a student lease, sta-
bility of student-run coops and
businesses and general growth
of student services.

The Senate also acted as the
host organization for the United
States Student Association con-
vention which attracted 150 stu-
dent leaders from the U.S. as
well as foreign countries.

Consumer Survival

Nestled between the vendor specializing in
feather earrings and a club raffle, you might find a
table in the Campus Center for the Massachusetts
Public Interest Research Group. While having a
table in the Campus Center helps make people
aware of Mass PIRG's activities, the group's ma-
jor efforts take place in the regional office, the
library, and on Beacon Hill. This year, a growing
number of students from UMass became involved
in the many activities that took place throughout
the state.

Since a chapter was founded at UMass in 1972,
MassPIRG has grown into a statewide organiza-
tion consisting of sixteen schools. The group's
main goal has been to effect social change.
Whereas the sixties made students aware of criti-
cal issues that effected their lives, MassPIRG now
concentrates on teaching the skills necessary to
actually influence those conditions. Such public
interest skills include researching, investigating,
lobbying, mobilizing citizens, and organizing stu-

dent efforts. To accomplish the group's goals,
students employ these skills in either administra-
tive or issue-orientative programs. ^^

During the spring of 1978, students workin™'
with MassPIRG established a consumer action
center on campus. This center solves complaints
of consumer ripoff and fraud, and is staffed by
fully trained student volunteers. To supplement
the center's activities, MassPIRG's staff attorney
teaches a course, "Consumer Survival".

This year, the bottle bill was one of the majoF
efforts for MassPIRG. Other issues included publi-
cizing the dangers of nuclear power, promoting
solar energy, investigating the hazards of asbes-
tos, studying health and nutrition, and fighting the
drinking age hike.

Though the issues change according to time,
Mass PIRG students have created a base for fu-
ture students to acquire the means for effectiv e -.
citizen action. HI

EQUUS

presented by

The Commonwealth
Stage Company

The Commonwealth Stage Company closed a pro-
duction of Peter Shaffer's "Equus" at the Fine Arts
Center on Saturday, November 18.

"Equus" is the story of a 17 year old boy, Allan
Strang and his psychiatrist Martin Dysart. Strang (Den-
nis Boutsikaris) a frightened, confused figure, initially
speaks in advertising jingles to avoid communication.
Dysart (John O'Creagh) is a sensitive, considerate pro-
fessional who, whilst attempting to unravel the motives
which led Strang to blind six horses in a stable, begins
to seriously question both his own ethics and definitions
of normality. Dysart eventually gains Strang's trust and
subsequently encourages the boy to recreate the var-
ious significant events in his life which culminated in the
frenzied, violent act.

The Commonwealth Stage Company production did
justice to what is a complex and difficult play to perform
and choreograph. Jeffrey Fialas' staging was stark but
effective. For the duration of the play, the set consisted
of a stylized backdrop (representing the stable wall)
and a series of ascending platforms. Robert Shake-
speare's lighting was simple and restrained throughout.
Rearranged by the actors themselves, several benches
were the only visible representation of scene change,
forcing both cast and audience to rely on their own
imaginations and interpretive abilities, rather than
elaborate stage props. Peter Lobdell choreographed
both the Broadway and UMass production of "Equus,"
and created the awesome horses which stomped and
tossed their way through the two-act play.

Lois Battle gave a graphically emotional protrayal of
Strang's religiously deluded mother. Kurt Seattle blus-
tered his way through a perceptive representation of her
staunchy socialist husband. In the final flashback scene
culminating in the blinding incident, Wendy Hartstein, a
UMass theater major, gave an impassioned perfor-
mance as the stable girl, Jill.

After leading Strang through a hypnotically induced
reenactment of the horse-blinding trauma, Dysart real-
izes the central dilemma of "Equus." As the self-pro-
claimed "high priest of normality," he is faced with a
paradoxical situation of having to administer a cure
which he no longer believes in, for a condition he has
come to envy. In "sacrificing" Allan Strang and his
horse-god to the average, the indispensible, murderous
God of Hell," Dysart concludes that "there is now in my
mouth this sharp chain — and it never comes out."

The play, "IN THE ROCK GARDEN", written and directed

by Roberta Uno was performed as part of the Asian History

Conference, April 27-29, 1979. "Rock Garden," as in the

playwright words, "is a play about collective Asian women in

this country as seen through the personna of one character,

an Asian woman who seems to have stepped from our

midst." The character, June Okawa, was sensitively and

skillfully played by UMass student, Mariko Miho. The major

themes of the play, racism, sexism and Third World unity

were dealt with via various dramatic elements. At times

comic parody rocked the audience with laughter, while more

serious points were simultanepusly being considered. These

comic scenes contradicted the touching poignancy and stark

■ and biting truths of other more dramatic moments. "Rock

Garden" was a labor of love as evidenced by the very real

performances of the close-knit cast: Mariko Miho, Marie

Anne Masuda, Peggy Liu, Gary Wong, Merritt Crawford,

Cindy Chu, Leo Murphy, Gerald Baron, Deirdre Sullivan, Britt

Warren, Rie Kuwana and Susan Lin. Their performances

collectively brought forth the message of the play- that of a

people experiencing confusion and oppression but struggling

and searching for self-definition, clarity and dignity.

Voluminous sheets of used tobacco cloth
were draped and spotlighted in strategic areas
The theatrics of the ballroom decor only served to
I highlight a menagerie of creatures that proceeded to

show up that night. Art students, in an effort to capitalize on
their education, devised costumes which ranged from lavish ele-
gance to borderline perversion. As in the two previous years of the ball,
winners of the best costume awards were announced and prizes awarded.
Chosen on the basis of originality, novelty, quality of costume workmanship
and/or humorous appeal, this year's recipients included design grad student Bruce
Rhoades as a rather indescribable "macho man." Ingenuity and the discovery of a tacky
. ' plastics store going out of business enabled Rhoades to look like an explosion at a Gladwrap

factory. Three toucans, played by Susan Cahill, Kim Babbitt and Steve Riley, had handsome, beautifully
painted beaks which only greatly hindered their partaking of refreshment and conversation. Last, and at least
56 inches, was Dolly Parton, portrayed by another design student, Robin Huffman. Five blonde wigs and some
generous "illusion" assisted in the image. The curves were a little difficult to handle while dancing, but as Dolly says, that's

what happens when you try to put ten pounds of flour in a five-pound sack.

Halfway through the evening, guests were treated to a performance of "The Whistlers"-Norm Phillips and Paul Berube, a

show which was back by popular demand from its introduction at the First Annual Beaux Arts Ball.

University Dancers Karen Scanlon and

Gary Schaaf at the Rand Theater,

May 11, 1979

AFRIKAN DANCE in its essence is above a casual classifica-
tion of art. Unlike music and poetry existing in tinne, painting and
architecture existing in space, the dance exists in both time and
space; the creator and creation are one and the same. Body
and soul become indistinct as the conquered body becomes a
receptacle for the superhuman power of the soul. Repressed
powers are loosened, dreams are remembered, communication
with heavenly spirits, which free the body of its own inertia and
weight, is implemented. The past, present and future become
one. Mystic galaxies become visible on the head of a pin and
the dance subsequently become life on a higher level.

The dances of Afrika are traditionally not considered "art" as it

-ti - tv

is known in Western civilization because in Afrika, everyone
dances. Among African people. It is not uncommon to see
elderly men and women dancing to the same music as do the
adolescents. ^ -^.,

There are three basic themes of Afrikan dance. Birth, life and
death are expressed through the basic unit of life- the family.
The dance is not performed for the sake of the individual, but for
the Afrikan communal body. In Afrikan dance we all become
brothers and sisters even without absolute blood relationships
and our children will be blessed with many aunts and uncles.

When the music climbs raw

into the wind

there is nothing ieft

but the dance

Dance to the power of the rhythms

that move you
your iife and your people
Milk from the source of ourselves
Trying to be understood is like
jumping up and down

on cotton
tons and tons of white cotton
Leaping through cob web bed ears
we have eaten death and passed it out

— Eno and I Banduwo
Portland Oregon 1969

SOUTHSIDE JOHNNY AND THE ASBURY JUKES

culminated their tenure at UMass witli an excellent,,
performance at the Fine Arts Center, Oct. 22ncf
1978. The once (but not future) bar band had ap-
peared in '77 at the Student Union Ballroom and,
were the closing act of the Spring Concert that same
year. Reportedly, the reception after rt/s year's show
was a smoker in which the entire band was in atten-
dance and they were definitely "havin' a party."

The KINK'S UMass appearance set a box office r
at the Fine Arts Center, selling out in 2 hours and forty-five
minutes. Those who waited in the cold February night for
tickets were not disappointed. Ray Davies and company
performed a "classic" KINK'S concert.

DARYL HALL and JOHN OATES

closed out the fall semester with a sell-
out performance at the Fine Arts Center,
Dec. 5, 1978. Members of their back-up
band included high powered alumni
from such groups as Joe Walsh and El-
ton John. The band consisted of Kenny
Passerelli (of "Rocky Mountain Way"
fame), Roger Pope, Caleb Quayle and
David Kent. The UPC production was
among the more elaborate to grace the
concert hall, featuring extravagant light-
ing and staging techniques.

On Monday Nov; leth at 8:00 p.m.,
UPC presented the New York group
TALKING HEADS at Bowker Audito-
rium. The four-piece iiand played for
over an hour to a 900 plus, setj|
audience — the first of the sem^

well received at Mass. An apprf
tive crowed cheered and clapped iri
to the music, finally rising to their feet
for two standing ovations.

audience as they donned their \i

hair, and were dressed simply in black
straight leg jeans and plain cotton
shirts. The Heads' appearance howev-
er belied their music, which was a cur-
ious amalgamation-complex and in-
volved, frequently psycho-analytical.
Lead singer/guitarist/songwriter Da-
vid Byrne, whilst on stage, was espe-
cially arresting. Byrne was tall and thin,
v/ith a disproportionate long neck,
black crewcut hair and long angled fea-
tures. He sang in a near monotone, in a

Legendary Blues Boss, B.B. KING proved the blues to be
alive and well in Amherst when he delivered a 90-minute set of
style which to this day provides meaning and substance to
people's lives. During the song, "When I'm Wrong, I'm Wrong
and When I'm Right, I'm Wrong, Right On!" B.B.'s majestic
personality stepped aside for a history lesson demonstrating the
"call and response" characteristic of most African and African-
American music. The band became a Gospel congregation with
each instrument functioning as participants. "Lucille," B.B.'s
guitar, was the preacher, leading the service, with Calvin Owens,
Walter King and Cato Walker on horns, Caleb Emprey on drums,
Joe Turner on bass, tvlilton Hopkins on guitar and James Toney,
skillfully transforming the identity of his piano, to portray the
members of the congregation. The UMass Arts Council spon-
sored the Sept. 25th 1978 event.

Variations on a "Jazz" singer's tineme was exemplified by
two versatile women performers who appeared during the
1978-79 academic year.

November 30, 1978 brought the veteran Betty Carter to a
near capacity crowd at the Fine Arts Center, many of them
remembering her amazing performance two years previous.
A talented woman with a distinctive voice and vocal style, Ms.
Carter proceeded to pierce the listeners' emotional ranges
with stunning versions of "jazz" standards and cool, cool
blues.

On a different spectrum of dynamic vocalists, Phyllis Hyman
excited and satisfied her Student Union Ballroom crowd on
April 11, 1979. With a sound and power emanating from her
own "jazz" roots (experience with Norm Connors and promi-
nent sax player Pharoah Sanders), she stretched the bound-
aries heavily to include a selection of contemporary rock and
pop tunes.

MUDDY WATERS

March 12, 1979
Student Union Ballroom

The Muddy Water's Band walked onto the stage in the Student
Union Ballroom before 700 people on March 12, 1979, as if the
concert were just another jam session, in typical Blues fashion. The
band played three or four intense blues numbers before Muddy
Waters himself even felt the stage floor.

The feeling of blues was in the air as the expectant crowd
awaited the appearance of the blues master. The band's instru-
ments consisted of drums and bass, which took a back seat to two
guitars and a harmonica, rivaled by a piano.

Waters appearance and the inevitable roar from the crowd gave
way to "Going to Kansas City," a classic Blues tune. The duet of
Waters and his pianist typified the true feeling of Blues.

Muddy Waters exited with expected applause, but the band
went on to play a few more tunes led by "J.R." and the pianist.
Waters then returned and played some intense "slide" guitar,
really burning up the neck, then leaving the stage with the entire
band.

The one encore set featured two tunes by the band and two with
Muddy Waters.

The crowd left overwhelmed by the sweet sadness of the Blues,
Muddy Waters style.

SHOP TALK

MAYA ANGELOU, internationally celebrated poet, author, singer, dancer, educator, historian, actress, song-writer and
playwrite recited from her work Nov. 9, 1978 at Bowker Auditorium.

Ms. Angelou was lead singer in the United State's State Department's European tour company of Porgy and Bess, which
was presented in 22 countries during 1954 and 1955. She coordinated the northern sector of the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference headed by the late Martin Luther King. She was the associate editor of The Arab Observer in Cairo,

Egypt.

Maya Angelou's autobiographical novel, "I know Why The Caged Bird Sings," was published by Random House in 1970
to receive critical acclaim and in 1971 published a book of poems," Just Give Me A Cool Drink Of Water." "Song of
Solomon" is her most recent novel, currently on the Best-seller lists. Angelou, who refers to herself as "poet, woman, black,
six-foot tall American," impressed upon the audience the need not to be defeated, despite the adversity that accompanies

those defeats in life that everyone suffers. She told a
receptive audience that "writers make us aware we com-
municate through our literature- it tells what human beings
can endure and that you go on. It is not a condition of skin
color, it's written so the hearer can go on from there and
thrive- thrive with a passion, compassion, humanism and
style."

NIKKI GIOVANNI

September 21, 1978

NIKKI GIOVANNI, "the black princess of poetry," ap-
peared at the University of Massachusetts Sept. 21, 1978
in a recital at Bowker Auditorium. She, as a woman of
many parts, is an honor graduate from Fisk University, a
person with a deep reverence for the elderly, a lover of
language and a strong voice in the struggle for the human
rights of black people.

Her recital included selections from some of her most
celebrated works: "Re-Creation," "The Women and the
Men," "Black Feeling, Black Talk," and "Black Judge-
ment."

Her poetry was a reflection of human condition- of love and its opposite, of the unity that binds woman and man together
and of a search for freedom that keeps the struggle going.

She read, "then I awake and dug/I that if I dreamed natural/dreams of being a natural/woman doing what a
woman/does when she's natural/1 would have a revolution."

Her work reflected that of a comforter and a teacher. The sparkle her voice inundated the stillness of the silent hall. She
said that, "... We have to find a way to use the past, because the past does not change- and to shape the future." Ms.
Giovanni's lecture that evening will be remembered as a voice encouraging all people to strength and tolerance.

I Puerto Rican New Song interpreter

Roy Brown

and his group Aires Bucaneros per-
formed this past year in the Student
Union Building. The group interpreted
Latin American folkloric rhythms with
instruments such as the guitar, cuatro
and other light percussions. To music,
they put poems written by Puerto Ri-
can poets. Included in the repertoire
were many poems written by Roy
Brown himself.

In acappelia,

Sweet Honey In The Rock

gave a superb performance with social
connmentary songs in gospel style.

The Voices of the New Africa
Ensemble

presented a Mother's Day concert
sponsored by the Black Mass Comnnu-
nication Project. Featured soloist was
Vergie Kelly. The performance was
sponsored by David Jackson.

1979

WITH CLASS

The Class of 1979 entered the University of Massachusetts
hustling and left freaking. Not just in terms of disco, but
in attitudes and morals.

During the month of September 1975, while the fresh-
people dealt with the severe housing shortage, hoping for a
double room instead of a triple, the ne»/s events of the nation
reflected a period of questions and social confusion.

Plans were already underway for the 1976 Presidential
race and Jimmy Carter had yet to enter the national
political scene. The magazine for "high" society, High
Times, made a transition from an underground publication
to a nationally known monthly periodical. The best sellers
during that first maddening week in September were Looking
for Mr. Goodbar and Breacli of Faith. As other schools
opened around the country, busing became a major issue,
especially in Boston, were many violent racial incidents
threatened. The Gay Liberation movement received national
recognition on the cover of Time and for the first time,
social acceptance of homosexuality was becoming more visible.
The extensive marketing campaigns for the Bicentennial had
gotten underway and patriotism was slowly returning to the
American public. One person who did not feel this way
was Squeaky Fromme, a member of the Charles Manson
"family", who unsuccessfully attempted to shoot President
Gerald Ford.

On the educational scene, evaluations of graduation
statistics were being studied with some interesting results.
Nationally, for entering freshmen, it has been estimated
that 40% of a class will never graduate, that 20% will grad-
uate but not at the college or university at which they originally
enrolled, while the remaining 40% will graduate from the
academic institution at which they began their undergraduate
work.

One highlight of this graduating class was the avail-
ability of jobs for engineering majors. Ninety percent of engineering
majors found jobs and received the highest starting salaries,
that averaged $21,000. Out of thet total enrollment in
the UMass School of Engineering, women only comprised
8% of that.

Second to engineering majors, students with degrees in
Business Administration, were receiving offers with salaries
ranging from $16,000-$18,000.

Instead of a UMass education, a graduating senior could
have invested the estimated $10,000-$12,000 in college ex-
penses in a brand new Porsche 924. As the nation's inflation
rates climbed, so did the cost of higher education, especially
for out-of-state students.

The many questions raised during these turbulent four
years are far from being answered. Energy, for example,
has become one of the most pressing issues of the year.

The student protests against nuclear power became
everyone's business as the movie The China Syndrome actually
became a reality in the Three Mile Island Nuclear plant dis-
aster.

The Viet Nam war was once again in the news, but this time
in the form of movie reviews and the Academy awards rather
than casualty reports. The Deer Hunter, which
received Best Picture and Coming Home, whose leads Jane
Fonda and John Voight won Oscars for their performances,
captured the very painful era of our nation's history.

Previous to the graduation ceremony, it was announ-
ced that there would be a severe gasoline shortage expected
for the summer ahead. The impending news of this shortage
did not dampen the spirits of Commencement Day and neither
did the expected rain. And on May 26, 1979, the Class of
1979 of the University of Massachusetts began to meet the
challenge of the 1980's.

YAZ

P \ ■ mm told some stories between
autographs about his college days, like when he got
caught coming in drunk one night by a priest and had
to serve mass every morning at 5 a.m. and about how
he and ?red tynn were caught fishing in an illegal
area in Connecticut, yastrzemski ducked into the
woods and jCynn got a $100 fine."

Since my freshman year I have been a floor counselor, a
student co-senator (with non other than Brian DeLlma), an
SGA Presidential candidate, an exchange student at the
University of Alabama and a folk performer at various
clubs and coffeehouses.

Jim's name gave our candidacy national wire coverage.
That was before we dropped out of the race. The
University of Alabama as the nation's number one college
football team was a great experience. My local performing
has allowed me to meet many people and grow as a
musician. None of these experiences, however, came close
to what happened on November 9, 1979.

It began in October. Things were pretty slow at the
student senate office when Joel Weissman came in to
phone in a speaking conformation for the Distinguished
Visitors Program. He logged in a call to confirm a DVP
presentation. Afterwards, I gave Joel a hard time about
the way DVP spends a lot of student money on little
known speakers who draw a small audience. He argued
the standard, why don't you do something if you can do
better." The words echoed throughout the office to the
small crowd taking all this in. I had to confront the
challenge. Who could it be? Someone who would draw a
large crowd and at the same time remain within a
reasonable price-range. Someone who would be willing to
travel to a college campus on a month's notice.

Ideas began creeping into my head, led by the thought
of Bill Lee, former Red Sox pitcher and space cadet, who
spoke to a packed house at the Campus Center
Auditorium in the fall of '72. Lee surprised everyone with
the crowd he drew. The event, originally scheduled for
C.C. Id, had to be moved when the original room became
packed within an hour before the speech. It seemed ideal
for the committee to have chosen Lee. He was fairly
inexpensive in relation to the crowd he drew and he was
unemployed in the off-season. That's it ... a local sports
figurel As I began to think of the elites, one name came
as naturally as the sun rising in the morning . . . YAZ.

I remembered the first time I picked up a bat and ball
in attempt to imitate #8. I knew how to cock a bat in the
classic Yastrzemski style before 1 even knew what it was
used for. He was one of the most respected names in my
household — right up there with John Kennedy and Bob
Hope. I grew up with Yaz like I grew up with my best
friend down the street, only Yaz and I never grew apart.

"Hand me the phone," I said with a smile.

The Red Sox public relations office put me in touch
with Yastrzemski's agent. I spoke to the secretary. Kathy
told me that she would talk to Mr. Yastrzemski about the
possibility tomorrow, when he was expected to visit the
office, and that if I called at four, I might be able to
speak to him myself.

Well, I spent the next night thinking about what I would
say to the big gun on the other end of the phone. But 1

Bob Padula and friend

was disappointed when I called and missed him by fifteen
minutes. I was however treated to the good news that
Kathy had mentioned it to him and he seemed to like the
idea. She also mentioned that he would be speaking in
Chicopee on Nov. 8 and he had an open date the 9th. Too
good to be true. A Thursday night was great and travel
expenses were almost cut down to zero.

Finally one Friday, I called the office at about four as
ritual and got the good news.

"I spoke to Mr. Yastremski today and he would like to
visit the university." I was ecstatic. A chance to meet
Yaz and introduce him on stage.

"However", she explained, "he won't be able to have
dinner with the committee and will have to leave right
after he speaks."

This barred the customary DVP practise of having an
informal reception after the lecture to allow students to
meet the speaker on an interpersonal basis. He did,
therefore, agree to come down considerably on the
lecture fee due to the fact that he couldn't fulfill
customary speaker obligations.

On the night before Nov. 9th I didn't get much sleep.
About three that afternoon, I got back from class and
decided to try to get some sleep before the big event. I
would have to meet him at 6:30 for a pre-speech press
conference at the Fine Arts Center. I just tried not to
think about meeting one of the greatest superstars in
baseball history in little over three hours.

It was shortly after that I received a call. Refusing to
open my eyes from needed sleep, I reached around for
the phone.

"Yes?"

"Hello Robert? . . . This is Carl." I didn't recognize the
voice.

"Who?"

"Carl Yastrzemski." It was the fastest anyone ever
went from almost total sleep to wide-awake.

"Yes Mr. Yastrzemski .. I ... I'm looking forward to
meeting you tonight."

"Yes. Same here. Listen ... I'm in Springfield now and I
decided to take a shower and come up there right now.
Where should I meet you?"

I had to think quick, I was poor as hell with directions
and the committee hadn't planned to have dinner
prepared.

238

"Arc you familiar with campus at all?"

"No, I have no idea how to get there."

"Alright, pick up 91 to Rt. 9 in Amherst. Then, let's see,
I'll meet you in the McDonald's parking lot on Rt. 9."

"Great, I'll meet you there. By the way, what should I
wear?"

Wear? I had only thought of Yaz wearing a baseball
uniform.

"Wear a sweater or anything comfortable, don't worry
about it. I'll meet you at 4:30."

"Wake the hell up Bob! You've got to do something
quick," I said to myself.

I called every member of DVP to ask advice and try to
organize a quick dinner. No luck. I searched my wallet . . .
Four bucks. Not enough to eat at McDonald's. D.C. food?
No way . . . the guy only has a few good years left as it
is.

I decided to call on my old SGA running mate/U of
Alabama sidekick Jimmy Carter. I didn't break the news
gently.

"Jim, brace yourself. Make sure you're sitting down."

"What? What is it?"

"You sure you're ready?"

"YES. Tell me."

"Carl Yastraemski is eating dinner in your apartment at
5:30 . . . Jim . . . are you there?"

At about five, I was dropped off in McDonald's parking
lot. in my three piece suit I must have looked like some
kind of special agent. I received strange looks from those
who had just munched down their quarter pounders. I had
been thinking about what to say when a beautiful sky-blue
'79 Lincoln Continental slowly approached the lot and
turned in. My eyes opened wide as I saw a man inside
peering out from behind the sun visor ... it was himi I
ran up to the door to open it and engage in a much
rehearsed introduction and handshake, however, when I
tried the door it was locked. He reached over and went
to pull the button but it popped out in his hand. This
could only have happened to me.

With handshakes we introduced ourselves. I was a bit
surprised by the lines on his face and a touch of grey at
the sideburns. He wore a dark blue alligator sweater and a
light blue shirt underneath. As we drove to Southwood
Apartments, I noticed he had power everything.

His relaxed manner and common dialect made me feel
like I was talking to an old friend, helped by the fact that
I had followed everything he'd done in the past decade.
We talked about Ed King and politics. I warned him that
King would be an unpopular topic for a speech in this area
and I told him of how local sportswriters jumped on the
fact that King had given Yastrzemski's father a job with
Massport.

"Yes, my father got a laborers job at Massport for $1.50
an hour. He just filled out an application like anyone else,"
he laughed.

Yaz spoke about his son Michael who was soon to enter
college. He asked me a lot of questions about college life
— co-ed living, fields of study, etc. By the time we got
to Southwood, I felt comfortable.

After a few introductions at Jim's apartment we all sat
down and talked over a few beers. When Yaz refused a
glass, I knew he was one of us. He was very calm as he
spoke of his attempt to keep abreast of what current
college life is like. When he mentioned pot smoking with
disdain, I broke into a cold sweat as I searched the room
for paraphernalia, but Jim's roomate had dutifully cleared
the room of all pipes, bongs and papers.

My greatest surprise of the night was when the future
Hall of Famer pulled out a pack of Winstons. For an

instant I felt like snatching them away from him for the
good of the team.

Yaz also spoke of his daughter who was attending
Florida State. He joked about surprise checks on his
daughter and drilling his son with a ball when he makes a
fielding error. He continually answered the same questions
— his age, the team's great dive in '78 etc. — at the
apartment, in the car, at the press conference, but he
never seemed to tire of them. Jim asked him if he ever
gets tired of talking baseball and Yaz sternly answered,
"No, I never do."

Jim came out to announce dinner was cooked and
turned to Yaz to say, "You'll have to get your own Carl,
it's cafeteria style around here." Yaz laughed, brought his
plate up and fought for the biggest steak.

As we hustled to the Fine Arts Center for the press
conference, it was easy for Ron Niederwerfer of Student
Activities and I to hide him from the crowd because he
wasn't the huge person you'd expect a superstar to be. As
we approached the back entrance I stopped Yaz and said,
"We can't go in there with beers, we'll have to drink
them here." Yaz nodded.

As I tried to guzzle the remains, I was struck by the
irony of the situation. It reminded me of drinking in the
woods before a high school dance and trying to get past
the principle at the door. He seemed so much like the guy
next door. Yaz was later to tell Jim that he was kind of
embarrassed by all his fame; that ballplayers were
everyday people but fans don't really believe it.

After the press conference Yaz lit another Winston and
asked Ron and I what he should speak on. I couldn't
believe it. I had expected him to have written briefs or at
least a good outline.

"Just tell me a little about the crowd and I'll decide
what to say when I get out there," he said with a serious
look. We told him about the popularity of Bill Lee, the
fear that Tiant would leave the team, the frustration of
the '78 collapse and about the growing bitterness toward
Ed King.

His speech was perfect and Yaz spoke until well after
the predicted 9 o'clock departure. During the speech I sat
behind him and listened trying not to spend too much
time staring at the interpreter for the deaf. At two points
in it, he stopped, and turned to me to remember some
question a little kid had asked at the press conference
and what time it was ... I failed on both. My one chance
to help the guy I would have jumped out a window for,
and I blew it. The little kid's remark was made during a
departure to the men's room and I never cared to wear a
watch. Just my luck.

After the speech, I quickly left the stage with Yaz and
tried to lead him out for a fast getaway. Before we made
it up a back stairway, he was hit up for three autographs,
three handshakes and one kiss and a hug. As we jogged
upstairs and out the back way, I thought I'd take a chance
and ask him if he wanted to stop for a beer on the way.
He asked about the possibilities and when Ron described
Fitzwillys, he accepted.

We got there and began drinking light beers. At the
bar, I couldn't help thinking of a Lite beer commercial. In
fact I asked Yaz about them and he agreed that they
were well done but informed me that to be involved in
one of them, you must be retired. Yaz told some stories
between autographs about his college days when he got
caught coming in drunk one night by a priest and had to
serve mass every morning at 5 a.m. and about how he
and Fred Lynn were caught fishing in an illegal area in
Connecticut. Yaz ducked into the woods and Lynn got a

^- SPRING CONCERT

WITH

THE GRATEFUL DEAD

PATTI SMITH GROUP

ROY AYERS UBIQUITY

MAY 12, 1979

ALUMNI STADIUM

A UPC PRODUCTION

The Grateful Dead, that elusive array of musical talent bordering on the periphery of
a pseudo-cultish family, buried some 40,000 University of Massachusetts students and
their guests beneath four hours of musical vibes on May 12, 1979 - a decade after the
band's emergence from the sixties.

And it all started with tamari sauce; we never would have had the Grateful Dead play
at our university if it weren't for their private chef who always tours with the band and
makes the best tamari sauce. The Dead love it. Jack Albeck, concert organizer, met the
cook at a Stephen Stills concert in New Jersey over Spring Break. While most people
were sunning in Florida the chef was putting in a good word for UPC. The next 'thing
you know . , ,

Rumor of the show leaks out. Drug dealers mobilize with efficiency and grace. Pound
upon pound upon pound of cocaine, marijuana, psilocybin, acid, speed, mescaline,
peyote, downs and stuff that ain't even been invented yet flood the area.

The Dead heads, somewhat fanatic devotees of the Dead predominantly 25 to 30 years
of age, dot the outskirts of Alumni Stadium the night before, adorning their tattered
skeleton and rose T-shirts - holes under their armpits, weathering the shitty pre-dawn
spit.

It turns out to be one of those murky days where the wet stuff just sits, dancing above
your head. I imagine it splattering off the huge plexi-plastic multi-million dollar dome
we don't have.

And then . . . Bob Weir struts up to the microphone and says, "You'll have to excuse
us folks, weee just got ta get everythin' perrrfect."

^^^^^

;^".>

And perfect they are, as they open with Jack Straw, an older favorite. "We can share the
women we can share the wine ..."

No sooner than they open their mouths when 10,000 screaming Dead heads storm the west
gate of the stadium crashing — the poor devil who got trampled.

... we can share what we've got of yours 'cause we've shared all of mine . .

He drives back from the hospital, cast and all, to see the rest of the show.

The throbbing crowd can't get close enough to the stage. Crunching sounds can be heard as
ribs crack. To and fro the clump of people sway in unison, squishing and squashing, breathing
and singing, drinking and throwing up.

The older Dead heads, elated to hear the scrap of sound igniting a memory of an era buried in
the sixties, clash spiritually with the younger fans- the ones who have ^joosted the Dead to a
financial resurrection listening to the newer stuff like Shakedown Street and Goodlovin'. The
Dead accomodate both with a balanced collection of selections.

During the intermission' I walk over to Garcia and shake his hand and stare and stare and
stare. So he asks me the questions. A bit of marketing research? His curiosity is aimed at the
atmosphere preceding the Dead's arrival on campus. I tell him they are the hottest controversy
on the student newspaper's editorial page since a local feminist wrote about a series of articles
dealing with the ability of women to give birth to children without the need for men. Garcia
knows what parthenogenisis is — right on!

And they continue to play, "Standing on a tower, world at my command, you just keep on
dancin' while I'm playin' in the band."

Members of the Board of Trustees?
President Knapp; Chancellor Bro-
meryj members of the administra-
tion, staff and faculty of the Uni-
versity-, honored degree recipi-
ents; proud parents? ladies and
gentlemen; and, of course, the
members of the Graduating Class
of 1979. Welcome.

It is a distinct pleasure to be
able to address my peers, and, if I
may, my colleagues, the members
of the graduating class of 1979.
Custom demands that commence-
ment addresses be one of two
kinds: either a romantic and nos-
talgic reminiscence, or the classic
"we are the saviours of the future"
address. The first type, the retro-
spective tearjerker, is identified
by the speaker waxing eloquent on
the idiosyncracies of the Universi-
ty and the marvelous fun we had
avoiding a quality education at the
expense of the taxpayers of the
Commonwealth. I choose not to
speak of these things for two rea-
sons. First, there are too many in
this class who would rather forget
the past four or five years, I sus-
pect, and it would be callous in-
deed for me to subject that prob-
able majority to five minutes of
soppish drivel. Second, the fon-
dest memories I hold are of such a
nature that if told here today, in
front of these administrators, I
suspect I would be suspended be-
fore this speech is finished.

Instead, I wish to devote my
time to the latter type of address,
and all I bring to this tired ap-
proach is 'refreshing' pessimism.
It is customary, and perhaps even
appropriate, to dwell on the future
of our select group. I must review,
in the most pessimistic terms, the
litany of problems that besets our
nation. It is all too easy to superfi-
cially identify inflation, unemploy-
ment, the energy shortage, the
arms race and poverty. Rather, we
are facing, I believe, a set of crises
which, taken together, may
threaten the growth and stability
of our nation.

Some of these crises are becom-
ing quite obvious: for instance,
how can we maintain our position
as the leader of the free world and
support alleged democracies
around the world when the Ameri-
can public, in the aftermath of
Vietnam, refuses to sanction the
presence of armed U.S. troops on
unfriendly foreign soil — reducing
us to buzzing foreign cities with
unarmed fighter jets? We are fac-
ing a crisis in "modern day" eco-
nomic theory, as this nascent sci-
ence finds itself unable to satis-
factorily answer the complex and
inordinately difficult questions
the public and politicians have
posed for it. But beyond these, a
more important crisis we face in
the SCfs (or perhaps more diffi-
cult) is that of reconciling our so-

cietal dreams with human nature.

In the eCs we were awakened to
the rampant injustices that exist-
ed, and they still exist, in our
country, and we weathered the fe-
rocity of this era, attaining respite
only in the silent tragedy of the
deaths of three leaders whom,
some claim, had the vision, fore-
sight, and charisma to bring us,
together, into the 70's. Other less-
er leaders have taken up the cries
and causes of the SCs, but none of
the burdens; leaving us, the chil-
dren of the 70's, with nothing but
sociologists searching high and
low for common themes and cant
phrases to capsulize our genera-
tion, before it is over, for our own
edification.

In the eCs and 70's, the Con-
gress and the courts established
the fundamental philosophy of our
'new society': that no person, be-
cause of race, creed, color, sex,
national origin, religion or handi-
cap, be denied equal rights, equal
protection of the laws or equal ac-
cess to employment, education, or
any other public segment of our
society. We dedicated ourselves
to eliminating the vestiges of past
discrimination against all citizens,
and the 80's loom large as the peri-
od wherein we must deliver on
those promises. The laws have
changed in a short period of time,
federal and state governments
have promulgated rules, estab-

250

lished boards, and poured billions
of dollars, collectively, into these
efforts, and today — 25 years
after the Supreme Court's deci-
sion in Brown v. Board of Educa-
tion of Topeka, Kansas — radical
and promising changes have, with-
out question taken place. But rules,
boards, and money cannot change
some of the institutions nor the
minds or spirits of many of our
citizens fast enough. And the sad
fact is, the battle is yt/5f beginning.
And that is the problem. Can our
society change fast enough, and
are we still willing to make the sac-
rifices necessary to realize these
distant dreams? Human nature.
People wondering out loud why
other groups can't make it like
they did, or groups arguing
amongst themselves as to which
has been the most disadvantaged.
People applying old values to a new
time, rejecting new values from an
old time frame, and spurning old
values from a new time frame. And
that is human nature, and little but
time can change it. That means
that the answer lies in the young
and their education. But that is a
long, arduous and contentious pro-
cess that may bear sweet fruit
two, three, or more generations
hence, and the patience of too
many people wears dangerously
thin. In the meantime, we will fight
the battles in Congress and the
Courts, and if we fail to find an

answer, or people refuse to com-
promise, the battleground will be
the streets.

We are the ones who must try to
straighten out this mess; we are
the newest cannon fodder to be
shot into the cruel world from, if I
may become Freudian, the last
womb we will ever know, and sad-
dled with the Herculean task of
fixing the ills of this society for
our children. But in so doing we
will be leaving our mark on the
world. I suspect that I will be so
ashamed of my mark that I will
pray the next generation condems
me to obscurity. After all, there
was more than enough talent in
last year's class, there will be more
than enough in next year's class,
and there is more than enough in
all the graduating classes in the
country today to tackle the
world's problems and still allow
those of us who wish to slip away
unobtrusively to the dark recesses
of the unemployment office.

We came into this world naked
and ignorant, and we are today
thrust into a new world clothed in
parchment and armed with the
knowledge accumulated from
three Humanities courses, three
Social Science courses, and three
Math and Science courses. The
world we enter cannot be all that
bad, though. Art Buchwald noted
once that when the reins of gov-
ernment switched hands on Au-

gust 8, 1974, and our nation's high-
est official was driven from office
for what we would like to consider
a heinous crime, there were no
tanks on Pennsylvania Avenuej no
soldiers marched the streets; no
city lay under martial law; nor
were Republicans fleeing the coun-
try for their lives. And all we have
is our newly heralded maturity,
our timeless idealism, and a de-
gree of respect that is based on
the perceived quality of our insti-
tution. And with the support public
higher education is receiving, that
may not be much to speak of in the
near future. And so, I look forward
to seeing you all again in twenty
years in the rubble I pessimistical-
ly predict, and we can then talk of
the halcyon days at UMass. And I
will admit then how much I miss
the University: the sanctuary that
is college life; the assuredness of
my next meal; Metawampe, whose
legend I gave one hell of a run for
its money — all those 'little
things'. But most of all, I will miss
some very special friends, whose
advice and counsel, warmth, af-
fection, support and smiles kept
me going, day after day, when it
all seemed so pointless.
I'm sure you will, too.
Thank you.

CHANCELLOR BROMERT

former Collegian editor Dorothy A. Clark probes the force behind
the man in his most revealing and significant interview ever

After spending 20 years with the federal
government, Randolph Wilson Bromery
embarked on a career in academics. Re-
cruited in 1967 by the University's geology
department to teach an obscure discipline
of geophysics, he became department
chairman about one year after his arrival
here, unaware that the road he had chosen
would lead him to be one of the Universi-
ty's most prominent, and sometimes con-
troversial individuals.

His "eight-year sentence" as chancellor,
as he humorously described his role as the
campus' chief administrative officer in his
commencement speech, would provide the
Amherst campus with vast changes, some
undertaken in the demands of the official
capacities of the position, and others in his
unofficial contributions.

During the final days in his Whitmore
office. Dr. Bromery reflects on his major
role at UMass, issues he has been con-
fronted with as a result of that role, and his
life.

INDEX: How would you sum up your
years as chancellor?

Si?OM£/?y; When I came to the Univer-
sity I had no plans of being chancellor of
the campus. When they asked me to come
to the administration it was really sup-
posed to be a one or two year stint just to
set up the new office for the vice-chancel-
lor of student affairs. So I was sort of
catapulted into the chancellorship. I guess
the best way I could sum it up is that I

don't think I've had more aggravations,
but I don't think I've had more fun. I don't
think I've had more tense and difficult
times. I don't think I've had eight years
where a lot of the people that I've met I
really liked working for and working with.
Some of the things I wanted to do out here
I've done and I've learned along the way
something my grandfather and my father
used to always tell me — that if you ever
decide to do something, don't tell anybody.
If you tell them, everybody's in the way,
either trying to help you along, which is a
hindrance, or they're in the way to keep
you from getting there because they want
to get there. So for some of the things I've
wanted to do, such as being one of the
founders of CCEBS, I felt it would be an
interesting phenomenon for blacks and
other minorities to have the chief adminis-
trative officer as their advocate instead of
having their advocate somewhere down
below trying to work up against the sys-
tem, and provide flexibility and opportuni-
ties for things to happen within the system
using the procedures and rules and regula-
tions that the system uses to see these
things happen. The reason I did that was
because once you do that, you set a pat-
tern, so that even when you're not there
the pattern stays. I could have had all
kinds of offices of equal opportunity em-
ployment and all that, but that's anomo-
lous to the standard pattern for institu-
tions. You go to any institution of higher

education, you go to any corporate institu-
tion, you go to any governmental agency,
state or federal, and the Affirmative Ac-
tion office is an appendage. It's not an
integral part of that system. It's just
plugged in there at some late date and it's
still temporary after all these years. Affir-
mative Action officers should be working
themselves out of a job. Most aren't.
They're entrenching. But they're still nev-
er part of the system. The only way they
come into action is when they catch the
system with its hand in the till. So what I
said was that I should like to see the insti-
tution make accessibilities for women and
minorities just as institutionalized as ev-
erything else they do. And that's what I've
tried to do.

INDEX: What do you feel are your major
contributions to the University?
BROMER Y: I think one is the acquisition
of the Dubois Papers also, I think the de-
velopment and growth of CCEBS and the
Afro Am. department and Affirmative
Action without having a mechanism to do
it. I think a lot of people will complain
about Affirmative Action and compare
this institution in the state with its popula-
tion, with other institutions in the state.
You don't have to go that far to do that. In
fact, you just have to go down the street.
And I like to think that I did contribute to
us surviving the budget cuts. I know I
played a major role in developing a con-
tract and a relationship as a result of that

252

contract where we don't have the rigidity
and we don't have the alienation and the
animosity that exist at other institutions
that have a faculty union. I also believe
that the Amherst campus is looked on by
the state and the legislature in a better
light than a lot of the other public institu-
tions throughout the state. I also think I
gave the institution greater national and
international visibility in Africa, Japan
and Korea. I was instrumental and created
the situation so that some of the better
academic programs exist. And I guess the
other thing is that I spent a lot of time and
gave a very high priority to the continu-
ation of the growth and development of
the five colleges. My assessment is that I
made a very important contribution to the
community at a particular time.
INDEX: What are you going to do now?
BROMERY: I'm going to pick up my re-
search and I'm going to go back and do
some more consulting work. I did a lot of
consulting work in Africa. I'm very frus-
trated because I've been to South Africa
and I saw the conditions down there. I saw
the almost hopelessness of the' blacks in
South Africa and I'm frustrated because I
just have the feeling that I'm almost help-
less to do anything. My feeling is that it
looks like violence is almost inevitable. But
the thing that bothers me is that there are
so many people calling for violence and
the price is going to be awful high. I guess
I have to figure some way that something
has to be done to make significant changes
in South Africa so that blacks do have
both political and economical emancipa-
tion. Right now all they're getting is just a
little bit — maybe most of that is in prom-
ises — of some kind of economic emanci-
pation. But economic emancipation is not
the answer. It becomes very fragile and
you become very vulnerable because if
they can give it, they can take it away. You
also have to have some political emancipa-
tion so that white South Africa can't take
it away. And I really believe there's two
kinds of leverage. One kind of leverage is
for all U.S. corporations to withdraw from
South Africa. That might cause economic
collapse. The other is one that I sort of
developed to at least take a look at. I've
argued that the U.S. corporations have
been in South Africa for all these years
and have reaped enormous profits because
of paying the blacks very low wages. So
I'm saying that they have an account down
there to settle. They owe those blacks all
that back pay, and my feeling is that let-
ting them withdraw might be the easiest
way. Right now, as they raise the salaries
of blacks, the economic viability, speaking
from corporate accounts, decreases. They

aren't able to get cheap labor anymore. So
at some point they just withdraw and say
that's it. They can go to some other place
where labor is cheap. So I'm saying I think
that at least we should consider the fact
that U.S. corporations have over the years
accumulated a debt with the blacks in
South Africa and that debt is going to
have to be repaid in some way. I don't
know whether I want to give them the
luxury of being able to walk away and say,
"I don't owe anybody."
INDEX: Will you be doing any teaching?
BROMERY: It is my intention to stay on
the faculty. I'm going to be teaching geo-
physics.

INDEX: What will it be like going from
an administrator to faculty member?
BROMERY: I'm looking forward to it. I
think most people, including people within
the University, have no idea what the
chancellorship is like. They think you
come in the office at 9 o'clock and at 5
o'clock you go home like everybody else.
But you don't do that. The typical day I

/ finished high school
without any courses in
math. Blaclc males weren't
allowed to take arithmetic
when I was in high school.
They said you didn Y need
it to mop floors.

have is to get in at about 8 or 8:30. I get
away at about 6:30 or 7 in the evening. I've
always tried to keep busy because I think
the chief administrative officer of a Uni-
versity like this should have national input.
I'm on the boards of directors of those
corporations which I think are important,
because after all, the basic economic fact
of the U.S. is founded on the corporate
structure. And corporations also are a ma-
jor source of funds, outside of federal and
state funds, that plan for the University.
Public institutions like UMass haven't
done very much like that. Most of the
presidents and chancellors of public insti-
tutions are not on the boards of directors
of corporations. Public institutions have
never sought those things, and they almost
have to be sought out. The corporations
are very selective of whom they pick.
They're just like everybody else, they feel
its most important to have a prestigious
private institution president than even a
prestigious public institution president.

The amount of grants that have been made
at this institution since I've been on corpo-
ration boards has increased substantially
without me doing anything. I couldn't do
anything because that would be a conflict
of interest. The decision of whom they're
going to give grant money to is not only
based on what is the written information,
but also, there's a recognition factor. If
they respect you they're also going to re-
spect the institution.

INDEX: How will you be affected by the
new faculty union now that you will be a
faculty member?

BROMERY: I never have been a great
advocate of faculty unions. I understand
the psyche that one would have to believe
that a union is important and I also under-
stand the circumstances and the condi-
tions that were in existence when this fac-
ulty decided it had to unionize. But I'm the
person that chose the geological and geo-
physical profession and chose to leave the
federal government and come into higher
education because I can belong to a com-
munity, but yet I can maintain my own
independence. I guess I'm not a person
who pays much attention to the trappings
of job security. Some people do. And I
realize some people have to because
they're vulnerable. But I always figured if
I ever get to a point where I can't get
another job, I'm in trouble. Personally I'm
in trouble. I'm in trouble with myself.
When you have tenure and union together
it seems to me that that's overkill. At some
point its going to work against the faculty
because if you get swamped, you ruin the
tenure. At some point the very thing that
unions were formed to protect will be the
very same thing that I think we'll lose.
INDEX:Whsit is the current relationship
between the faculty and administration?
BROMERY: It hasn't changed things
here as much as in a lot of other institu-
tions primarily because the contract we
bargained left a lot of things sort of open,
it permitted a lot of flexibility. We're one
of the few institutions that didn't bargain
away faculty governance. Most institu-
tions say if you're going to have a union
then you're going to have all that other
stuff. You do everything through the union
contract and anything not specified is
management rights. Both sides of the table
at this institution didn't want to go to that
point. But that was the first contract. The
second contract, when its going to be bar-
gained, starts where you end up the first
time and you try to tighten it up. Manage-
ment tries to hold on to what it's got and
maybe even take some things back and the
faculty is going to try to hold on to what
it's got and get more. So the contract is

253

going to be less and less loose. It's going to
get tighter and tighter until at some point
down the way, the traditional form of gov-
ernance, I'm afraid, could be squeezed
out.

INDEX: You've had a number of years to
watch and be involved in the University's
expansion. What is your assessment?
BROMERY: We not only expanded in
size so we could take in more students, but
what we tried to do was open access to
students who normally didn't have access
before. We had 36 blacks on campus in
1967. That probably constituted a signifi-
cant percentage of those who applied.
When you open access you not only say
you're going to take more than 36 black
students into the institution, but you have
to go out and let the students know that
there's something out there they can bene-
fit from. So the expansion of the institu-
tion broadened the constituency of the stu-
dent body that we have here and opened
the opportunity for access not only for stu-
dents to come into this institution, but for
jobs and positions for professionals and
non-professionals from a broader cross-
section. The expansion academically fo-
cused in certain ways. We have certain
centers of academic access that we built
while we were also expanding. So we not
only got large in size, but we got better in
quality. I think the growth here has been a
growth in size and in recognition.
INDEX: What about your past. What has
it done to shape the man you are today?
BROMERY: My sons and daughters say
I'm old fashioned. And I am. My parents
and my grandparents taught us an awful
lot. They may not have had the formal
education, but they sure had a lot of what
my grandfather used to call motherwit.
We were a very close family, we were an
extended family. We lived in the same
house for over 150 years. Sometimes I
think the house looked like it. I remember
as a child my family did not mind dishing
out capital punishment. They were strong
advocates of "if you spare the rod you
spoil the child." But we didn't die. I never
suffered irreparable psychological prob-
lems because I got a whipping when I did
something wrong. I just was either more
careful when I did it again or I didn't do it
any more. It teaches you to be ingenious
when you're devising ways of doing things
without getting caught. It didn't matter
who wielded the stick first. We had peck-
ing order. If I had to get hit, I would like to
be hit by my mother. But that was a dilem-
ma. 1 had so much respect for her and she
was such a mild-mannered person that
when it got to the point where she was
angry enough to hit you, it really bothered

me. It hurt me, it crushed me that my
mother would strike me. But she did it.
But the worst one was my grandmother.
She would send you down to the yard to
cut the switches to bring back to her that
she was going to whip you with. And if
they were too small she'd send you down
and add them to the group you already
gave her so there'd be a big bundle. So you
learned to calibrate how much you could
bring that was going to satisfy her that
wouldn't hurt you too bad. But we loved
each other. I was brought up in a very
segregated town. We were in Maryland. I
went to the first through 1 2th grades in the
same building. I had a very fine English
teacher that I would stack up against any
teacher in any school in this country. And
I think that was the biggest thing, because
my English teacher said if you can learn to
read and comprehend, and express your-
self orally or on paper, then you can do
anything you want. And she was right. I
finished high school without taking any
courses in math. Black males weren't al-

Contrary to what the me-
dia said I wasn't tearing
myself up because I really
wanted the presidency I
have much more flexibil-
ity than that. The only
time you do that is when
that's the only option you
have.

lowed to take arithmetic when I was in
high school. They said you didn't need it to
mop floors. I finished high school at six-
teen. I was to young to do any work but I
lied about my age and went to work in
Detroit. This was just about the time the
war started. I joined the Air Force. When
I got out of the Air Force I applied to the
University of Michigan because I had the
GI Bill. Michigan wrote me a letter and
said there must be something wrong with
your records because it shows you gradu-
ated from high school but there are no
mathematics courses. So I wrote back and
said I didn't take any mathematics course,
but I did have a math teacher, and in the
evenings after school I used to go to his
house and he taught me. Michigan said if
you take a correspondence course and pass
it, we'll let you in. I finished the course in
about three months and Michigan let me
in as a provisional student. Of course, with
that record in math, it was difficult for me
to think that I was going to be a math
major. No way. But I had to take certain

math courses, and I took one from a pro-
fessor who wrote the textbook. And I real-
ly got interested in math. So I decided my
major. I graduated with an undergraduate
'degree as a double major in math and
physics and chemistry. And I graduated
cum laude. So when students tell me that
they have academic deficiencies and they
come out of a high school in Springfield or
Boston and tell me they can't do math,
they can't get away with that. It depends
on what you want to do. If you have a
potential to do it then you can do it. But it
also let me know that you have deficien-
cies, if you really want to you can get rid of
them. But you have to have somebody who
encourages you. I went to Michigan for
two years. My mother at that time was
dying of lateral sclerosis. One summer
they told me she wasn't going to make it. I
was going to school year-round so I trans-
ferred down to Howard University which
was close to my home. Two things hap-
pened. One, my mother didn't die that
summer, and two, I met my wife. So I
stayed that fall and I graduated from
Howard University. I found that going to
Howard, that as far as I'm concerned, a
predominately black university played a
very important role for me because there
you had en loco parentis personified. Fac-
ulty members used to chew you out in the
cafeteria line because they knew you
messed up in class, and they put all your
business in the street or embarrassed you
in front of your girlfriend and made you go
back in there and study. It was like a fam-
ily. When I needed help they were there,
and yet they didn't let me get away with
anything. It really helped a lot.
INDEX: You were very instrumental in
the development of the Afro Am depart-
ment. How were you affected by the politi-
cal rift involving former provost Paul Pur-
year?

BROMERY: That was probably the most
distressing time of my 31 -year professional
career. Even though I had great expecta-
tions, I made the choice. But there was a
combination of circumstances, external
and internal, and I think in part the Uni-
versity has to bear some responsibility for
that. I'm not only talking about white or
black, I think both, because I think the
provost most needed support from the
black community and it wasn't there. It
was only there after the circumstances got
so stretched and so far out of hand, and
then it was the wrong time. I think one of
the things we've got to learn is that we
can't air all of our differences in public
because the media loves that. I think that
in this particular case the media exploited
a group of people and a group of people

played right into the media's hands. I felt
the best I could do was just sit back and
make my initial statement. And it was the
truth there was no subterfuge. It was a
difference in style. It had nothing to do
with the person's competency, but there
are different ways of trying to achieve the
same goals. And I've always been one to
believe — and this is another of my grand-
father's and father's sayings — that you
mustn't let anyone force you into justify-
ing what you're doing. Because if you
spend all your time justifying, you never
really do it. Secondly, there's two ways
that you can go. You can either try to win
the battle and maybe never win the war, or
you can keep the war in mind and try to
win that and back away from some of the
battles and come around another way. So
my strategy has been when I didn't want to
waste all my time bucking the system,
what I was going to do was let the system
bend to the way I want and utilize the
system itself, use the dynamics of the sys-
tem to do some of the things I wanted to
do. I've never been one for rhetoric. A lot
of people, even my friends, black and
white, have said you should go out there
and not let them say that. But a newspaper
has a life of about 24 hours. It dies after
that unless you breathe life into it. And so
sometimes its best to just leave it alone. I
think in the case of the provost, I certainly
did what I could to get past the difficulties.
But it was a case where a man was forced
into a position by external forces, and
forced to take a position.
INDEX: What is your assessment of the
racial climate on campus?
BROMERY: I think there's going to be
more and more altercations. I think there
is a growing concern, not only here but in
the whole valley, because I think we
passed a point out there about two or three
years before Bakke. The thing that didn't
bother me so much was the Supreme
Court's decision. What bothered me was
that California, as far as I'm concerned,
set it up to lose it. So when people try to
blanie Bakke I look at what's behind all
that. And if you wanted to take a case to
court to lose, California's position is one
that you knew you could. I had a feeling
that California wanted to lose it. No mat-
ter what they say. So I'm not sure that
Bakke vs. California was there, I think it
was Bakke and California vs. Affirmative
Action. One of the hardest jobs I had at
this institution was not to permit the insti-
tution to use what I call the "piece of the
pie approach." I don't think it's a planned
conspiracy, I think it just happens in our
system. They say there is a certain piece of
the institutional pie that they're going to

let non-white males have. So what happens
is that piece of pie has to have blacks,
Hispanics, Indian Americans, Asians and
white women there, because that's all
they're going to get is that piece of pie.
When you do that — the larger piece of
pie I'm not talking about the individuals in
that larger piece of pie, but I mean the
collective — then if you have any struggle,
it takes place within that piece of pie for
how much they want. The struggle is with-
in. They never think about the fact they're
limited by the boundaries of that piece of
pie. I never wanted that to happen. I think
what has happened in higher education is
that whomever decided what the piece of
pie was for the non-white male, that pie is
getting filled up. And so now, they're be-
ginning to splash over a bit and displace
the white male. When you start doing that
you're stepping on people's feet, you're
moving into their neighborhood. And so I
think there is going to be a reaction to it.
You can't call it a backlash, a backlash is
some reaction you do after the fact.
INDEX: What are your feelings of not
being selected president of the University?
BROMERY: I made the decision. I felt it
only proper that if I was going to be the
only internal candidate for the presidency
and I wasn't selected, then whomever they
select should have the opportunity to de-
termine whether or not I was going to stay
on, because the new president would come
into the system of which I knew more
about, I was a candidate in there, and it
may be very uncomfortable. So, rather
than have them either have to live with me
and then our relationship could be disas-
trous, or they would have to ask me to step
aside in time, I decided that if I didn't get

it then the new president would determine
if I stayed on. I knew long before the inci-
dent with Paul Puryear that I wasn't going
to get the presidency. It was another nail
in the coffin. But I knew I wasn't going to
get the presidency because it was obvious
to me that the board wanted a clean state.
After all, they lost three chancellors and a
president. If I'd been singled out then you
could say "yes, they had it in for Bill Bro-
mery." The board decided after Bob
Wood left they'd get a new administration.
I don't support that. That's what they de-
cided and they're the trustees. But I knew
that I wasn't going to be there. I was the
person who was in charge of collective bar-
gaining and there were perceptions on the
part of the trustees — and I think they
were wrong perceptions — that the Uni-
versity community would never accept me
as president, and I think that was a misper-
ception. Also, I think they had a certain
criteria they wanted, and I didn't fit that.
I'm not sure what that was. Contrary to
what the media said I wasn't tearing my-
self up becuase I really wanted the presi-
dency. I have much more flexibility than
that. The only time you do that is when
that's the only option you have. Actually,
it worked out fine for me. I think what was
happening was I was afraid to get to a
point where you can't pull the rabbit out of
the hat anymore. You're supposed to do
something that keeps the audience happy
and excited, and your act can only be so
long before they get bored with you.
They've seen what you do. I have to think
a little differently than most people. I have
to think as a professional and as a black.
And one thing I had to do was to walk out
of this standing up. I had to do that.

In keeping a little of ttiat yellow-bricli road fantasy/our dream of an anti-nuclear

world will have a chance to be realized.

If there is a reverence of being in ourselves maybe we will see some reverence tor

the world itself.

We must understand the value in the whole earth community of which we are a

microcosm. We reflect the age and have a chance to live our dream.
