First Play To Be Presented by Stockton

Kelvin Smith and Bob Tras te r rehearse a scene f rom RATS which is part of the COLLISION COURSE.

Stockton State College's fine ar ts program has selected Collision Course, a group of short plays deal ing with c o n t e m p o r a r y themes, for its debut performance December 9, 10, and 11, at 8:30 p.m.

Since the college is now housed in the Mayflower Hotel, the school lacks adequate facilities to present the production. So the recreation hall of the Calvary Church on the corner of Pacific and Chalfonte Avenues will be the showcase for Stockton's ' f i r s t t hea t r i ca l presentation.

Collision Course combines the elements of heavy d rama and thoughtful comedy in dealing with problems that plague our society. Many well-known p l aywr igh t s have contributed to this anthology. Sat i r i s t Ju l e s F e i f f e r (Li t t le Murders) has brought his own brand of humor to the collection with The Unexprugated Memoirs of Bernard Mergendieter.

Israel Horovitz makes a biting comment on the violent nature of the human race in Rats. Chuck

tells of a very resourceful door to door salesman, and in Camera Obscura Robert Patr ick takes a sad and funny look at how we might be communicating in the near future.

Terrence McNally, author of Next and the current off-Broadway hit Where Has Tommy Flowers Gone? adds his own touch with Tour.

Actors participating in Collision Course include Chris Bailey, Valerie Palazzo, Richard Moss, Tim O'Donnell, Trudy Weaver, John Scavone, Diane Davenport, Bob Traster , Neal Feller, Joel Magen, Laurie Gawin, Mer Linski, Arnold Brewster, Henry Dibling, Mike Stevens, F ran Martin, Shari Iioth, Bob Dention, Re Corvasce, Kelvin Smi th , and Valer ie Myskubski.

Collision Course will be presented f ree of charge. Curtain time is 8:30 all three days. For information call 822-7243.

Captain William Clayton, fourth from left, of the Atlantic City Police Department speaks to students and faculty members at the community forum.

The discussion began with Richard Cohen, Clinical Associate in Psychology, who expressed a need for a new Juvenile Detention Home in Atlantic County stressing lack of " in -dep th s tudies of p r a c t i c e s on juveni le r ehab i l i t a t i on . " He encouraged students to work with an Inter-Agency Council and a Directory of Services which, he cites would cost no mpre than $500 to publish.

William Clayton, a Captain of the Atlantic City Police Department, followed Mr. Cohen. Mentioning that, previously, size and not education had been a priority in choosing police officer candidates, he admitted this was changing. Speaking on the technological advances made recently in terms of P.D. equipment, a few of the

John Froines pointed out how technology in Vietnam was being brought home, such as sensing devices being planted under the skin1 of paroles and the keeping of blacks in line with technology. In the white middle class he said ideological control is being used instead. Finally he expressed the opinion that here was an inad-vertent omission on the panel, insofar as there were no poor people or non-professionals on it.

Collegium K. Sponsors "Inside Atlantic County"

On Nov. 11, Collegium K spon-sored a community forum entitled "Inside Atlantic County." A panel of area "personalities" spoke on varying issues while members of the audience posed questions. » Joel Sternfeld, the moderator of the panel, said that Collegium K held a forum out of the feeling that too often groups naively go into the c o m m u n i t y t ry ing to make changes without any knowledge of what is really needed or how to accomplish things. And after they fail in their efforts they wonder why inner city r e s iden t s a r e cynical of outsiders. He also said that Collegium K felt there was a need for people to address them-se lves to the g r a v e human problems that exist in our own backyards.

Will "Evicted Students" Sink The Mayflower

Page Three

A Review

On the morning of November 22, a large number of the resident Stockton students living within the aged walls of the "Mayflower Hotel, Motel and Spa" received eviction notices in their mail slots. Jack Leisman, manager of the Mayflower, ordered recently a search of all students' rooms for pets, hotplates, and appliances. Anyone who en te r t a ined the presence of one or more of those items was notified that they must be rid of it by the winter semester or leave.

Student Ar lean Sprentz organized a meeting of residents on the fifth floor that evening to decide the student's course of action. Students found themselves guilty of housing hotplates and skillets, cats and even a snake.

Planning to bring the Mayflower management to legal settlement, the students listed a few of their compla in t s which have been tolerated since early September: -Telephones which can't call out or

between rooms -Broken televisions -A wooden fire escape

-Poorly insulated wiring -Uncovered light bulbs in the halls -Broken windows -Unopenable windows -Lax security (one guard on patrol) -Broken fire a larms on floors 5 and

6 -A non-functional fire extinguisher

(5th fl.) -Broken door locks -Paneling falling off walls

Only recently a student entered his room only to find the maid grooving on his records.

In a leaflet mailed last summer by the Mayflower a snack bar was promised. No cooking facilities exist whatsoever on the premises, and no student can afford to eat out seven days a week.

The list of complaints and examples of consumer frauds goes on and on.

The students want only three things: the right to keep pets; cooking fac i l i t i es or the i r equivalent (hotp la tes , t oas t e r s , etc.); and everything fixed from the lighting fixtures to the fire escape.

The Coffee House

Emerald City is one of the regulars of the Coffee House.

COLLEGIUM B

If you were there you know what happened, if you weren' t , you missed it. There will be coffee houses and there will be coffee houses, but this one really set 'em on fire! Collegium B (that 's r ight a collegium ) deserves credit for this event, and a job well done.

O.K., down to the action. Ken Wooley, in a guest appearance, started it off with some fine guitar music and songs. Then things got rolling with the Johnny Usry and Tony Horton Band gettin' into some outasite jazz. No need for the names of the people in the group, 'cause if you don't know who they are by now you're hiding in a closet. Next was Bennie Biscuit and the Hot Cross Buns and "The Nim". Yes folks, there they were! The audience roared, and the crowd went wild! Well, a f te r that something heavier was needed, so on came the Fred Sommers trio. And indeed it was good and heavy,

but the crowd was still roarin' and it took awhile to quiet them down. No respect! But they did quiet down, and on came Trudy Weaver and Bob Traster. Wow, if that didn't send them into tranquility nothing did. What could be a better finale than another set by Johnny, Tony, and the band? So there they were, a-rockin' and a-rollin' and gettin' it all on!

Do you want to play or help out at the next coffee house? Then get movin' and see Bill O'Malley or Shelby Broughton, who in-cidentally a re the chairmen and deserve a big hand. And so went the coffee house to end all coffee houses. Can it be topped? I don't know 'cause this was dynamite! Like I said, if ya weren't there ya weren't there you missed it. Stay tuned, same time, same station for the upcoming coffee houses on Dec. 3rd and Dec. 10th. Until then,

Reading Improvement Lab for Students

Collegium G On The March

Are you interested in improving your comprehension, vocabulary or reading speed? Most students are, and should be aware of à service that Stockton has made available to students to improve their reading skill.

The Office of Special Services, under the coordination of Barbara Rau, has made ava i lab le to students a Reading Improvement

Lab located in the library.

Lab assistants a re available in the lab to assist students every week, Monday thru Thursday: 10 to 5, and Fridays: 10 to 3. In-formation can be obtained at any time in Room 335 or in the library from the Lab assistants, Mary Mitkoski, Pete Mercado or Peggi Coulter.

More Money for Gl's Under New Bill

Your help is needed now to persuade the Senate and House Committees on Veterans Affairs to hold hearings as soon as possible on G.I. Bill legislation. This will make it possible for more veterans and servicemen to benefit during the present academic year.

Action is needed on legislation to achieve the following:

-S. 2161 and related bills to in-crease basic G.I. benefits to at least $220 per month for a single man and more for men with families. Filed by Senators Hartke, Cranston, Williams, Thurmond, Stevens, and Randolph.

If Congress acts soon, G.I. Bill increases can begin this year. * * *

How you can help: 1. Contact members of the House

and Senate Veterans committees, especially those from your own state, and urge them to hold hearings soon. Also contact your own Senators and Congressmen.

2. Also contact Senators Vance Hartke and Alan Cranston and Representative Olin Teague to let them know of your interest in action this year.

3. Details on the number of veterans attending your college, difficulties they have had because of the level of G.I. Bill support or delays in checks, and problems you have had with PREP and other programs should be emphasized. Members of Congress always like specific information about your college and state rather than generalities.

4. Write to Veteran Affairs Committee, Washington, or to Representative Henry Helstoski, Trenton State Hoi'^e, New Jersey.

In the preceding weeks members of Collegium G have discussed and acted upon a number of programs. First, the Collegium voted to donate $100 to the proposed Day Care service at the Pomona campus. In making this grant we hope that other collegia will also Support those who are working to provide our community with this needed service.

Three other programs are about to be directly ini t iated by Collegium G. One is to have members of our group, with the suppor t of the College's ad-ministration, visit New Jersey high schools to inform students about Stockton. Still in the initial plan-ning stage is an attempt to es tabl ish a Draft-Counsell ing service for the college community, as well as for area residents who could use such information. Third,

in the final planning stage is an Emergency Student Loan Fund whereby we will use part of our allotted funds to grand small loans to members of our Collegium on a short-term, interest-bearing basis.

Finally, we have begun discussing the possibility of having our Collegium sponsor a colloquium, for academic credit, that will study the housing situation in Atlant ic County, par t icular ly with re fe rence to fu ture student needs as the College's enrollments expand. All interested m e m b e r s of the Collegium, as well as other in-terested students, a re encouraged to attend our weekly meetings (Fridays, 3 p.m., Room 01) where fu r the r discussion of these programs will take place.

Board of Trustees Meet: P h a s e III M a s t e r p l a n a n d s i t e b ids l o r S t u d e n t

h o u s i n g d i scussed The Board of Trustees discussed

two cruc ia l i ssues amid the colonial atmosphere of Smith-vilie's Quail Hill Inn. At the November 10 meeting, Mr. David Taylor, board member, recom-mended approval of the Campus Phase III Master Plan. He also moved to rebid the sitework for student housing and meanwhile proceed with the construction of the apartments. Both resolutions were passed unanimously.

Mr. Taylor reported that the Campus Planning Committee had discussed both issues. The com-mittee advised the rebidding of the site work to reduce total costs and lower rents. Planned was the redesigning of water lines, parking lots, d r iveways , walkways , lighting and other features to lower costs nearly $400,000.

Phase III plans received the approval of the Campus Planning Committee. Noted elements in the phase are two instructional wings, a lecture hall for 540 persons, a 25 meter pool, a gymnasium, and four multi-purpuse exercise rooms.

Presidential Comments Pres iden t Richard Bjork

presented several reports at the Board meeting. Beginning with a note on the success of Mr. William Daly's lecture series, he sited that attendance by non-students con-tinues at a high level. This was true despite protests and pickets a few weeks ago by Rev. Carl Mclntire who objects to a discussion of revolution and Communism.

Dr. Bjork announced that the f i r s t issue of the s tudent ' s newspaper was available at local campus news stands on October 29. Explaining that the newspaper is cur rent ly subsidized by the college, it is working to become an independent, self-supporting ac-tivity. More freedom is sought by the newspaper with reference to the college's monitoring of the publication.

Stockton, NAFEC, Board of Higher Education

The President also reported on pre l iminary mee t ings between Stockton and NAFEC to explore the possibilities of cooperative programs. Such programs would

be especially useful to the college as NAFEC possess outstanding facilities and personnel in several fields, pa r t i cu la r ly computer science, psychology and specialized management. Early efforts have centered around plans to organize a program for t rans-portation s tudies within the Division of Management Sciences.

The Board m e m b e r s and President Bjork have attended budget hear ings before the Department and Board of Higher Education. The Sta te appea r s inclined to move away from an incremental budget and more towards the development of a "per s tudent f o r m u l a " budget. Dr. Bjork commented that a formula budget may impose a commonality upon the state colleges and limit diversi ty. Nonetheless the college's request for a 5.3 million dollar appropriation appeared to be headed for the white waters along with all the other state agency requests.

Science And Tech. Program

Even More Campus Notes:

New Criminal Justice Program professional activities. Second, the program is aimed at students interested in pursuing a career in criminal justice, a field which includes an increasing range of activities. There is a critical need today for young men and women who have a broad understanding of the causes of crime, as well as an ability to deal effectively and justly with the issue.

Finally, the program is designed to familiarize the students in general, as well as the community a t la rge , of the t r emendous problems encounte red by law en fo rcemen t agencies in ou r complex society.

Stockton 's p rog ram is in-novative. One way of achieving this goal is to promote an active in teract ion between s tuden t s . There are at present about 50 students in the program, about evenly divided between law en-forcement officers and students interested in pursuing a career in criminal justice.

Our objective is dual: first, to involve the student more closely in the educational process, second, to draw on the expertise of members of the class. One example will illustrate this point. In one course, for instance, a class presentation with slides was given on the sub-ject cf "riot control" by a state police official who is also a member of the class. This will be followed by the presentation of another class participant's ex-per iences a s a d e m o n s t r a t o r during the 1968 Democratic Con-vention held in Chicago. At a later date, a student who is presently on

parole will discuss his experience in the state penal system. The point here is, obviously, that we can learn from each other.

Another Stockton innovation is the requirement that a student in the program, who does not have any experience in the field, serve an internship during one term in an agency dea l ing with c r i m i n a l justice. The college's aim is to br idge the gap be tween the classroom and the outside world.

While the p r o g r a m ' s m a j o r purpose is educat ion , a n o t h e r function is research. A project which is being developed at the present time will seek to in-ves t iga te ch i l d r en ' s a t t i t u d e s toward the police. It is no secret that a gap exists between the police and citizens, especially younger people. The goal of this project is to examine the development of young people ' s a t t i t u d es t o w a r d the police, and to make proposals to ameliorate the relations between the two groups. In accord with the Stockton philosophy, which is to make the student a participant and not a mere passive recipient of the educational process, the research will be conducted by students under the supervision of an inter-disciplinary faculty team. Such a project, then, will benefit the communi ty and the s t u d e n t s . Additional information regarding S tockton ' s c r imina l j u s t i c e p r o g r a m can be ob ta ined by writing John Richert, coordinator of the criminal justice program at Stockton State College, Pomona, New Jersey 08240.

Draft Law Delayed Again

Stockton S ta te College has in i t ia ted a c r imina l jus t i ce program leading to a bachelor's degree in criminal justice. The p r o g r a m was es tab l i shed in response to the lack of educational and training facilities in the area of criminal justice in South Jersey.

Stockton's program is one of four such programs in the state. It is funded in its first year of operation by a grant from the State Law Enforcement Planning Agency. The criminal justice program is inter-disciplinary in nature and d r a w s heavily on the social sc iences as well as the management sciences. Because of the organization of the college, a student in crininal justice will also have a solid grounding in arts and humanities upon completion of his studies.

The criminal justice program is directed toward three groups of students. It seeks to serve, first of all, law enforcement officers who wish to pursue their education. The federal government under the Law Enforcement Education Program or LEEP, as it is commonly known, actively encourages such students by paying for a student's expenses. In addition, the state of New Jersey has recently made available a large amount of money to supplement federal funds. Law enforcement officials interested in pursuing their education should contact the program coordinator as soon as possible. Applications for the program are now being accepted for the winter and spring terms. The course of study can be ta i lored a round a s tuden t ' s

I t 's very possible that the Army will not be able to draft anyone until late December - thanks to an unforeseen legal loophole in the Selective Service Bill signed by President Nixon a month ago.

Santa B a r b a r a (Cal i fornia) artist Karl Bohn pointed out in federal court this week that a section in the Selective Service Act prevents his, or anyone else's induction, until December 28. Bohn cited a paragraph in the new act

which reads: "No person shall be inducted or ordered into active service without his consent under this title within 90 days af ter the djite of its enactment." The new bill was enacted by President Nixon on September 28.

The apparent foul-up occurred when the new Selective Service Act was copied almost verbatim from the old draft law of 1948. The 1948 draft law had set aside induction for 90 davs in order to allow the

Selective Service department to reorganize itself.

In any case, Judge Robert Kelleher agreed with Bohn's in-terpretation - and ordered that he not be inducted until a special hearing on the matter is held on December 2. Justice Depar tment officials argued in vain against Judge Kelleher's decision - saying that at least 10,000 other young men will be entitled to make the same a rgument : : Earth News.

(SCIT) Registration is coming up and it

seems appropriate to discuss one of the unique interdisciplinary programs at Stockton. The Science and Technology program is am attempt to put today's technical a c h i e v e m e n t s in p roper per-spective with the human world. At the outset it is important to clearly understood what is meant by the words " S c i e n c e " and "Technology." "Science" is the knowledge of general laws and t ru ths of the world while " T e c h n o l o g y " is m a n ' s ap-plications of this knowledge to satisfy his needs, desires or whims. These definitions then help to clarify the basic subject mat ter of the SCIT Program.

Within this broad subject area, there a re many more specialized areas ranging from a technical u n d e r s t a n d i n g of the m a n y scientific/technical achievements (e.g. nuclear power, computer, physics, medicine, etc.) to the relationship of science/technology to human affairs. Included in the spectrum of subject areas is the history and philosophy of scien-ce/technology, as well as the r e l a t ionsh ip of c o n t e m p o r a r y sc ience / t echno logy to social , economic, political, humanitarian and artistic affairs. Two basic objectives of the program then are ; (1) to enable the student to understand modern science and its applications and (2) to develop an understanding for the relationship of sc ience and technology to human affairs .

To achieve these objectives the program will offer a few general introductory type courses and then develop each student's knowledge through a number or problem oriented seminars and projects. (The courses for the winter 71-72 term on conflict and on power source decisions are examples). Through these problem oriented studies, the student will be led through the p a r t s of many traditional disciplines necessary to the understanding of the various parts of the problem. In these studies, the students would not be told that they could not understand a particular aspect of a problem but rather aided in learning the background information by talking

with wiretaps (the mark of technology) because few of his clientle have phones. Of his 2500 clients each year 500-600 are related to theft, 400-500 with drugs, 30-40 with homocide, and many others with the average crimes of vandalism, petty lar-ceny, rape, and the like.

Mr. Le Gore notes an inadequacy in his staffing. He also stated the Atlantic County has only two judges, yet need six. There are only five full-time attorneys, eight full-time investigators and seven sec re ta r ies now employed in LeGore's office.

Clients, LeGore said, were of-tentimes told to plead guilty to a lesser offense, and hence be let off more easily. LeGore urged students to work with the NAACP on a prison reform procedure fea tur ing a rotat ing-bail arrangement.

Following Mr. LeGore, Kathy Paul of the Committee for Abortion Information and Refe r ra l ex-pressed a dire need for personnel to act as telephone operators, counselors, referees, and many other open positions. Students may volunteer for many of the jobs.

William Blaine, Director of the Cape Atlantic Legal Services, referred to himself as "one of those young lawyers on TV you've come

to know and love." Explaining that in California,

legal services are under pressure from Governor Reagan, Blaine says We are no longer in need of legal bandaids, but rather a fun-damental change in the structure of laws. We somewhat introduced the U. S. GEO Legal Services who make victories for their indigent clients, victories for society as a whole.

Mr. Blaine said that there is a need for students to organize groups to accomplish things.

Captain Clayton was questioned by members of the audience about police procedures. This engen-dered a controversy in which a member of the» panel defended Captain Clayton claiming that the Captain's reputation for integrity and that of the Atlantic City Police Department had been tainted. This brought d e m a n d s and heated words were exchanged. But in the end the controversy was resolved with an apology from a member of the panel to the audience.

All of the panelists and the moderator stressed the need for students to effect change in a positive way by working actively with local groups and agencies. It was also mentioned that such work could be done in conjunction with Independent Studies.

Science Program (Continued from Page 5)

with the members of the faculty most qualified to provide this in-formation. For example, a student studying nuclear power plants would spend some time learning the relevant nuc lear physics, perhaps some time studying the politics of government agencies like the AEC and some time studing the social and economic systems that lead to more need for nuclear power. In this way, the reasons for l ea rn ing pnysics, economics, sociology, politics, etc. become clear to the s tudent through an interest in the scien-t i f ic / technical proolem being investigated.

As mentioned ea r l i e r these problem oriented courses may be

designed as s e m i n a r s or as research projects. In either case, I he studies might lead to reports of interest to people beyond the walls of the college.

The r equ i r emen t s of the program are set down in the program guide. Specific courses have not been required because it is felt that each student's program should reflect that students unique needs and interests. Each student in the program will be required to work out with a Program Advisor a mutual ly s a t i s f ac to ry list of program courses or study topics. This list is to be reviewed and perhaps revised each year.

If you are interested see Hal Taylor, the SCIT Program Coor-dinator in Loom 210.

A Change for the College Council

Ah, to be lost in the sea of in-decisions. Thus f a r some reasonable proposals have come before the College Council and the Main struggle has been to keep our heads above water. We have managed to decide how to operate temporarily and set up some guidelines for the elections of permanent officers. The College President on November 17th, put forth a number of student orien-tated proposals possibly to insure student involvement in the College Council; or to establish a false sense of student power. The College President has also made it quite clear that any structural council changes that stand before that body now or in the future are subject lo the Board of Trustees' approval. President Bjork also inferred he was against such changes at this time - a wait and see attitude. This could very possibly be the correct attitude; however, there are factions that believe the time for change is now.

I would like to point out that should the council decided to send any structural changes to the Board of Trustees, the board does not meet until December 7th. The council has decided to elect per-manent officers on December 1st. Think about it!

I support the proposal for an additional six students on the council. This would give the council a make-up of eighteen students and eighteen faculty and staff. Emphasis has been on the important issues this first council will have to deal with, however, the

administration and faculty have shown a reluctance to a balanced council. Another proposal is for a balance in the three standing commit tees . This stands l i t t le change by being sent to the Board ol Trustees from the present College Council.

Most resistance seems to be from those who think the proposals are reasonable but not important enough to risk a confrontation with I he Board of Trustees. I disagree with this approach, I feel it is important to the future role of the students of Stockton College.

We have been asked to be patient and reminded that most organizations of this nature move slowly. Again I must disagree, we have become so accustomed to slow moving governments, that it is assumed that all government is slow. 1 think the personnel on the council and the general make-up of the college itself, suggests that we do not necessarily have to fit stereotype governments.

1 am available for reasonable comment or rebuttle through the message board or phone 266-2308.

Professor Falk came from the University of Chicago where she received a very c lass ical education. She spent most of her lime reading Plato and Aristotle, has done a lot of work on Tolstoy and the avant-garde. Late in her career at t he University of Chicago she became interested in political issues. At the present Prof. Falk is working with women's groups. Connor: What does Women's

Liberation really mean? Falk: Women's Liberation is an

attempt to focus on what it means for human na tu ra l qualities or resources to be tree, and for people to develop to their potential. It's focused on women although women's l iberation is not just the liberation of women. Women's liberation is an attempt for women in this society who are in a position in which they have t radi t ional ly , by means of social, political and economic structures, been in a secondary situation in society. I think it's one way women can un-derstand themselves and their re la t ionship to social and political control. It is a vehicle of exploration into our lives, our roots and our future. Many qualities are usually given to women that are seen as at-tributes; like the nice, quiet, shy, loving, supporting woman in the home. Women wouldn't be that way if there were good things about it. Women 's Liberation is not against love or men, but it's against a kind of inequality and role-playing that women are forced to assume in society. I feel that Women's Liberation is essent ial ly a consciousness raising endeavor and that it affects everyone.

movement? Falk: Although I was extremely

active in Chicago, I decided that it was time to recoil and solidify some of my ideas. Also, I hoped to test my more academic skills in a college situation. 1 really didn't come here with a political motive at all. While I'm here I see that it doesn't work to just teach social ideals without acting to make them possible. The Women's studies program, for example, should be considered part of academic life. I'm upset about the lack of knowledge about the war, and I think it 's a formative time to help people to think through things and not come to things through rhetor ic . I think the re is problem with a lot of rhetoric and a lot of strange ideas about what 'the movement was, and I'm here to fight against that rhetoric and to rationally ex-plain and work with people. In terms of the movement, I 'm playing a part that probably thousands of people are playing quietly in d i f ferent com-munities. I'm interested in teaching for students, and also for myself. I have a lot of dif-ferent interests, but I guess my political interest can't go away.

Connor: What measures do you feel the Women's Union for Liberation should take to ac-complish their ends?

Falk: You need to begin to have discussions, films and talks on campus with men and women. You need to change the stereo-type of what a "women's lib-ber" is. People at this campus always ask me if I wear a bra and that 's not what it's about. You also need to change the stereo-typed that feminists a re battling, with women who just want to go to school, get married and live in a house, they are our sisters too. We want to deal with this stereo-type, we want to deal

with male chauvinists ana we want to deal with brothers. So that's one part of it, the other part is program. I think that a day-care center would answer needs of women and men, who are faculty, staff and students on this campus, and eventually of the community. I think that not having a day-care center is subtle discrimination against women, because women are t rad i t ional ly respons ib le for children, therefore can ' t fully participate in school. There are some cases where both the husband and wife are in school and it's terrible! Only the very exceptional, super-motivated women a re able to participate. A day-care center would be a way of easing and making this a place which encourages to develop to their potential. Also I think it would be good for men and women to deal with questions about child-care, to see what it 's like to have co-operative child-care. I think that it provides insight into women and children. Other programs, birth control and abortion referral information, files of cu r r en t legal deve lopments and cu l t u r a l programs like the "women 's liberation rock band" will help us feel the joy and power of our women's movement.

( 'onnor: What kind of peace reform should be initiated in this country to return it to a more stable state?

Falk: Well, the first thing, . is that we should end the war. Right now, there is a plan for peace ca l led the P e o p l e s ' Peace Treaty, which is, I think a very reasonab le , s i m p l e solution to end the war in Vietnam, to bring the prisoners of war home, and to get our economy back into s h a p e . Essentially the People's Peace Treaty is a plan to set the date for wi thdrawal , e l i m i n a t e Thieu and set up a provisional

coalition government, so that the people in Vietnam can decide for themselves what to do. 1 think the people have to take the responsibility to say, "Well what are the possibilities lor peace." They should figure out what the differences are between the Mme Binh 7-point peace proposal and the Nixon 5-point peace proposal, and to show the fact that right down the line Nixon is refusing alternatives for peace. I think that in every way we can, we should be educating the people about that,

'onnor: What was your purpose of serving Nixon with an eviction notice, and what do you t'eel was accomplished by that act?

'alk : It 's interesting because I feel that the students who went to Washington did not go to be arrested, nor did I. We went to Washington to hear the People's Tribunal, which was a panel essentially trying the gove rnmen t . The re were l awye r s there . George Jackson's mother spoke. We came to be educated and to see what was happening on the national level. Why not? And also Bobby Seale was suppose to speak. What happened there was interesting in that we actually didn't know that that was the weekend of the Nixon eviction. I said to some of the students that I'm going to go back Monday night, some of you may choose to stay longer that 's up to you. That 's not wha t we c a m e for , and everybody talked about the papers that they had to do and the classes they shouldn't miss. The people collectively decided to stay, and I was one of that group. On Tuesday we wit- • nessed a telephone call from

the North Vie tnamese delegation over a loud speaker -an exchange of ideas for peace for this country, and songs. "Peace was just a telephone

call away." We were going to bring a telephone to Nixon's house and say that all you have lo do is pick up that phone and talk. There lies the key to peace and bringing the prisoners of w a r home. T h e r e was an American prisoner of war, a green Beret, who spoke and brought that t e lephone to Nixon's house. The idea was to bring it to his house, and if he refused we were going to say that it's crucial for people in this country to understand that Nixon can't be elected again. Even though he says he is winding down the war, he has added tonnage to the bombings in Vietnam. We really want the war to be over. We believe that wherever Nixon goes he should be confronted and we should say, "We're not going to talk to you unless you talk peace." This particular demonstration is the beginning of a year long campaign lo make sure that the people in this country un-derstand that it's not a coin-c idence that the w a r has escalated since Nixon has been in office, nor that we are in economic crisis.

Connor: Is the peace movement in this country dying or is the news-media just directing its concern elsewhere?

Falk: Well, I think the problem in the peace movement is that people are tired of demon-s t r a t ing . T h e y ' r e t i r ed of putting their bodies out on the street or around flagpoles. It

may be new and existing in Atlantic City, but other people are doing it day in and day out. They have been having a vigil every night in front of the capitol for a year and a half. How long can you demon-strate? If it 's true that 73% of the people in this country are against the war, then how come noth ing ' s happen ing? The problem I think, is that the news-media and Nixon would like us to believe the war is over . Because , in fact, American boys are coming home and 1 think that 's good. But people are playing down t he added tonnage in bombings. T h e y ' r e p lay ing down the herbicides that a re destroying the land in Vietnam. If you don't take that into account of

. course you think that the war is over. 1 think we can' t sit back until we know that there's a date set and there 's a total withdrawal. I think that 's a problem!

Connor: 1 realize that on this campus there a re only seven f emale faculty members out of the fifty-nine. Also not one of the seven females maintain a posit ion a b o v e a s s i s t a n t professor. Can you give any reason for the limited amount of female faculty members?

Falk: 'That's a problem in the academic field which is just one branch of all other pro-fessional fields. Women are not encouraged to have aca-demic goals past the high school teaching. Women's own expectations a re not high, and women don't see themselves in professional positions. That's one problem and that 's a socialization problem that we women and everybody has to deal with. The other problem is who runs the university? Who hires the faculty? What has the academic field been all these years? A male institution. I think very often women are not t aken se r ious ly a s facu l ty candidates. If there were a choice between a male and female, before all the pressure to get more men on the faculty, the first impulse would have been to otfer it to the man. So I think it 's two-fold. I think it's a problem in hiring, who has se lec t ion contro l over the university. It 's also a societal problem that is coming down on the women. At the University of

Chicago, I worked on a com-mit tee to inves t iga te the situation of women in the academic field. We found that women in the field had to be more exceptional than the men. ( )ne thing that attributes to that is the lack of child-care. The HEW Department has already taken action aga ins t most univers i t ies for sexual discrimination.

Connor : Do you believe in d i sc r imina t ing aga ins t the races, and the sexes?

Falk: No, 1 don't believe in discrimination.

Connor: Why did you restrict the cnrollnient in your Women in Literature course exclusively to females?

Falk: I thought about that a great deal and I understand the problems, pro and con. I think there's a good argument that says that men should be in the c l a s s d iscuss ing the somethings. If the class were structured for purely objective discussion, I would have in-cluded men. However, I wanted something else to happen in the classroom. I didn't want the women in the class to be hin-dered by men who are more vocal than women. I didn't want the class to be a class of the battle between the sexes, because it was Women in I literature. I wanted the women in the class to develop a sense of sisterhood and a common unders tand ing of problems through a very serious in-tellectual endeavor. My class does not, contrary to popular opinion, discuss sexual orgasm. We talk about socialization, women's self image through literature and philosophy. It is a very high powered class on some levels, but I think that something new is happening in the class and that is an almost

mystical sense of sisterhood. We do have open class sessions. Wc had one open session which was for male chauvinists and bro thers . It was very in-teresting but of course only brothers showed up. If there were male chauvinists there, they were certainly a little timid in expressing their point of view. However, we will be opening up the course more. 'The women's group will be having a lecture series and films on women, and thei r economic and social situation. The course I 'm going to give in the Spring will be open to men.

Connor: Abortion is currently a very con t rove r s i a l sub jec t , what are your views, and do you believe abortion to be a necessary social mandate?

Falk: I believe that women have the right to control their own bodies, and no one has the right to deny them that. If a woman does not want to have a child, no one can say to her that morally she must have that child. It 's a decision that is totally up to the woman. Some women choose to have children and some don't. I think that there is i nadequa t e b i r th control information that leads to the need for an abortion. I think the abortion question is vital and I do think abortion is the right of every woman. I do, however, feel that abortion laws have been misused in ghet to and in we l f a r e situations. It 's a very serious problem when you think about whv Deoole would allow abortion laws to come into existence. The reasons are economic, it is a way for white affluent America to limit the population of blacks and the poor people. I still believe in abortion a s a right; but we must be sure that it is not used

against women. Connor: What do you think of

family planning and bir th control as a deterrent for in-creasing population problems, as opposed to abortion?

Falk: Family Planning and birth control is preferable to having an abortion. However, again I am cautious about the use of all those very good means of distributing information to poor people in this country.

( 'onnor: How active do you find the female population at Stockton?

Falk: 1 think that, they're won-derful. I think that the women at Stockton are probably going to be the most important force in this school. They a r e "together," and anxious to talk to each other every time we have meetings. They're not only in teres ted in learning about each other as people and discussing problems, but really creating a community among themselves . They a re jus t incredibly interested in doing things for the community. They

Page 10) are not just confined to woman's roles and middle-class issues. The women said the day of the moratorium, "Shall we go as a group or as individuals?" And we decided to go as individuals. There was an assumption all the time that the in teres t in Women's Liberation was connected to a liberation of all people. I think that the issues that Women's liberation brings up are human-louching issues tha t r e ach everybody in the school. I know in my classes that students a re often thinking more about their boyfriend or what happened the night before, while I'm talking about Tolstoy. That's just as much a reality as anything that goes on in school. We have to deal with those questions on a very ana ly t ica l level. The women are helping each other to do that, and I think that the men in this school are going to find that true. When I first put up a sign in school about the demonstration on the board-walk against the Miss America Pageant, someone ripped the sign out of my hand. He literally ripped it out of iny hand. I don't think that will happen anymore . The vocabulary of the equal rights for women has to be in-troduced, the " m a l e chauv in i s t " is not rhe to r i c anymore. In order to defend yourself against being a male chauvinist, you have to un-derstand what that means. I t ' s that unders tanding that , I

College Council Outlooks

It 's been a long time a-coming, but here it is! That's right! News about that mysterious, elusive group called the College Council!

Hal Taylor, operating as clerk pro tem, opened the meeting on Nov. 17th. Highl ight ing the meeting was a speech by President Bjork, attending by invitation. The topic, in fact, was the role of the Council. The Council will serve mainly a s an advisory board, with independent power somewhat like those good ole' high school student councils.

The three standing committees (pg. 19 S.S.C. Handbook) were established last week. Here is the who's who rundown, if anyone's interested: Instruction Committee, Ralph Bean, Richard Colby, Gordon Davies, A1 Gellene, John Rice (at-large); Co-Curriculum

Comm., Helga Scheuermann , Barry McDowell, Hal Taylor, Joe DiGirolamo, Mike Skilsky (at-large); Administration Comm., Rusty Barlow, William Gilmore, Jim Flanaghan, Louise Spall, Ken Stow (at- large). 'That 's all folks!

Elections for permanent officers will be held at the Dec. 1st meeting. A task force will be established to decide on the grading system. Handbills will be distributed an-nouncing its meeting. The minutes of the Council meet ings and agendas will be (supposedly) posted and a record of all proposals kept in the library. A few non-council people have showed up at the meetings (the meetings are open you know!) . Stop by sometime!

Still Even More Campus Notes: A R G O

ARGO Report On The Possibilities For A Community Bus

Collegium I, in a resolution written by Steve Kornstein, has requested Council to look into the possibil i t ies of provid ing bus se rv ice to c a m p u s f r o m the vicinity of the Mayflower. This Collegium has also taken an in-formal poll, with the help of Lewis Steiner and the staff of the ; the poll found about 60 people who say that they would use such a bus regularly.

Sixty people do not represent adequate support for a bus route on any sound financial basis. But among these sixty a re a good many for whom a reasonably convenient bus is an absolute necessity. They include s tudents who cannot possibly afford to pay for a car in addition to paying for their motel or Mayflower rooms and who need to be able to get to early and late c lasses . In p a r t i c u l a r , Sam Creighton reports that students who live on the North Side have a very d iscouraging t ime hitch-hiking or finding rides. And then there are faculty and students living in Absecon and along the way for whom a bus would be a convenience for regular or oc-casional use.

For these reasons, because a bus to our campus appears to be an urgent necessity for some, this Collegium concluded that a way must be found to subsidize a bus, at least for the next few years. In t ime, perhaps , the c a m p u s population may grow enough to support a bus almost without subsidy.

Ideally a bus should be self-supporting. But in fact bus service is quite expensive. Atlantic County College is experimenting with a bus run at the present moment. They pay $65 a day for three runs and estimate they will break even only if the buses run full, at their moderate fare of 50tf a round trip. The problem for us at Stockton is that with about 50 or 60 people using the bus 3 or 4 times a week it will not b reak even unless everyone comes and goes at the same time, at 7:30 in the morning and at the end of the day, for in-stance. For the bus to be useful it

should make several runs each day. If it is not convenient to use, it will not be used at all.

Therefore we have concluded that the bus must be subsidized, probably quite heavily while the college population is growing. If 64 people rode every day on the average for 33 weeks, paying 50(f a round trip, they would cover 1/2 the cost of a three-trip bus. The subsidy would then have to be about $5400 a year! And it could be more. Fares might be raised slightly, but fares of over 25$ or 35tf each way would begin to discourage people from using the service.

Ideally, again, the College should absorb this cost. Indeed, so that we don't all drown in each others' private automobiles, every in-stitution or factory which locates outside of town should be required to provide subs id ized public transportation.

However, according to President Bjork, there seems to be no way to find funds for a bus service in the part of the college budget ap-propriated from State funds. A committee headed by Barbara Rau has looked into this m a t t e r carefully and can find no solution.

One day Trenton's attitude about subsidizing public transportation to State facilities might be changed by pe r s i s t en t lobbying. En-vironmentalists should be doing this. But the day that change comes is a long way off.

Some money to subsidize bus transport might come from special funds or from Collegia; such monies would diminish the burden but not do away with it, by any means.

On analyzing the situation, John Reiss of Collegium I reported that only one possiblity seemed to be open. That was to request that Collegia ask that funds from the Student Activities fees be directed toward a bus subsidy. This would mean that approximately 1/6 of every student's $30 fee would be redirected to serve the urgent need of 1/12 of the student body. (In addition, of course, students who did use the bus would pay a fare or

buy a pass.) This seems to be the only solution

available at this time. It does mean that those who support and drive cars are helping with someone e l se ' s transportation as well as their own. On the other hand, in a campus designed to handle large n u m b e r s of commut ing cars , drivers are subsidized in their turn by the Sta te which provides facilities which a heavy influx of ca rs force upon any location.

If we use student activity fees to subsidize bus service it will be "unfa i r" to those who have no use for a bus. Yet this is how wealth is redistributed in this society. And student activities fees are used unevenly time and again for the pleasure and interest of only a few, whether we bring a rock band, a fencing team, or a poet to our campus.

Still, money used for a com-muting bias cannot be used for other purposes. It will be taken from somewhere, probably from Collegium appropr i a t ions . In another year, when the student body is larger, the proportional cost, will not be as great a part of the en t i r e s tuden t ac t iv i t ies budget, yet the amount will still be impressive. Nevertheless, if we believe that public transportation to Campus is indispensible we may have no other choice but to make this allocation of funds.

By now most Collegia have been approached by persons interested in this project, requesting that they consider the matter and eventually petition Council to allow Student activities fees to be used to sub-sidize public transportation. This proposal should be' considered every carefully. It will take money from other uses. As the decision is made, one way or another, it will begin to reflect how Stockton students take care of each other and how they envisage society might become.

Elizabeth Marsh Libby Marsh, Collegium I.

According to Greek mythology the Argo was a ship built by Argos, the son of Phrixos. It consisted of fifty oars and employed fifty nautes or sailors (Argo-nauts-sailors of the Argo.) The ship was larger than any other vessel that had ever been built before and it was built of pine-wood from Mount Pelion in Greece. 'The ship's wood was not supposed to rot.

The significance of the Argo lies in the fact that it conveyed the 50 Argonauts f rom Thessaly to Colchis in search for the Golden fleece. The voyage was supposed to have taken place before the Trojan War - sometime during the 12th century B. C.

Under the command of Jason, the Argonauts stole the Golden f leece. The return of Argo to Iolcos in Thessaly was accompanied by risky a d v e n t u r e s , which were immor ta l i zed into the Argonautica, an epic of Appolouios of Rhodes.

Atlantic City's Chapter of the N.A.A.C.P. is far from dormant. Stockton's Community members, as well as various Atlantic County citizens, are involved in various act iv i t ies , d i rec ted towards Atlantic County problems.

Most ac t ive among the organization's activities are voter r e g i s t r a t i o n , c o m m u n i t y organizing, and bail fund raising.

Atlantic County's prisons contain a number of people who remain in prison, without t r ia l , s imply because they cannot raise bail. One man remained in jail for two months for lack of $50.00.

Military Budget On The Rise Again

The N.A.A.C.P. bail fund can alleviate a small portion of the horrors of prison by freeing in-digent persons charged with non-violent crimes and awaiting trial.

In the future we will be holding fund raising drives to raise our desired sum of $5000.00. Your contributions are critically needed to help the fund raise money.

The House Appropr i a t ions Committee has recommended a record high military budget for 1972 of more than $71 billion despite the fact that Vietnam military costs a r e repor ted ly b e i n g reduced.

The new military spending bill, which will be voted on by the full House on Tuesday (November 16th), includes more than $1.1 billion for the controversial anti-ballistic missile system - and an

undisclosed amount for the In-dochina war.

A House Committee spokesman told Earth News that the amount of money allotted for Vietnam had been reduced drastically from last year 's figures - but he said the actual amount of money going to Vietnam is "classified." Despite the reported reduction in Vietnam war expenses, the military budget jumped by one-and-a-half billion dollars from last year: Earth News

Listen Little Man How I Learn They call you little Man,

"common man," they say a new era has begun, the era of the "Common Man." It isn't Vice-Pres idents of g rea t nat ions, promoted labor leaders, repentent sins of bourgeois families, states men and philosophers. They give you your future but don't ask about your past. You are heir to a dreadful past.

Your heritage is a burning diamond in your hand. Every physician, shoemaker, mechanic or educator must know his short-comings if he is to do his work and make his living. But your teachers and masters do not tell you how you really are; nobody dares to voice the one criticism of you which could make you capable of governing your own fate. You are free "only in one sense free, free from education in governing your life yourself , f r ee f rom self-criticism." You let men in power assume power for the little man. But you yourself remain silent. You give men in power or impotent people with evil intentions the power to represent you.

The U. S. and Europe have made their encroachments. They have justified their c r imes and legitimized, the slavery in which

they hold the four fifths of humanity. Humanity is wanting for something more from us than such an imitation, which would be almost an obscene caricature. If you want to turn Africa into a new Europe, then let us leave the destiny of our count r ies to Europeans. They will know how to do it better than the most gifted among us. But if we want humanity to advance a step further, if we want to bring it up to a different level than that which Europe and the (U. S.) has shown, then we must invent and we must make discoveries. If we wish to live up to our people's expectations, we must seek the response elsewhere than in Europe.

Moreover, if we (Black People) wish to reply to the expectations of the people of Europe and the U. S., it is no good sending them back a reflection, even an ideal reflection, of their society (has black people) and their thought with which from time to time they fail im-measurably sickened.

I do not know of any greater satisfaction than honest and ef-ficient service rendered to the people in the best interest of all the people.

By the turn of the last century technology had reduced man to a mere shell of his former self. Unfortunately, man's alienation from within and without was brought about by his own doing. It was the inevitable, anti-self ex-tension of the cold steel-hearted machine dependent man. Men throughout the world sought again to become self-dependent. Sensing the advent of this "New Humanity," wanting to explode, to demolish all t ies with the seemingly always conflicting values that his no longer con-t r o l l a b l e m a c h i n e - p i l l e r e d existence wrought and sustained, men were ready to accept a world war to liberate their cog-like selves.

The First World War was the vehicle he so desperately needed. It was thought to be the war to end

all wars ; Mankind versus machine! He felt it was inevitable. The "New H u m a n i t y " would surely arise like a Phoenix, from the horror-filled ashes of a dying technological world. But millions had been slaughtered. Each man looked to his animal-self, striving to kill the wretched machine. And he developed and produced more machines with which to strike the ominpotent technological beast. But their blows were misdirected as the machine was the means they used to strike each other down. And the cog-self warmman found he could not find security and trust in the Human self. He was forced, in order to function in a machine based world, to accept a self-replacement, a skillful provider-Technology!

How I Learn

Humanity and the Phoenix of the "New Humanity" lying crushed to death beneath the wheel of the self-advanced technologically-wrought iron cast beast. The attempt to reinstate man, to rest control of his life from the clock and the wheel, had only s t rengthened the technological beast, which rose above him to thereafter control the world. The post-war cry for "Humanity!" echoed unheard in the belly of the beast.

And it's 1939, and I view this event in retrospect, as the air of pending holocaust fills my lungs. And I try to scream it from my lungs, but my words take solid steel form and crash to the ground creating material images that others view as me. And I lash out at these beastly images with all my body's strength, only to find a law made to fit a situation that no longer exists, shackling my arms thrust, rendering me to be feared and pitied example of a misguided mar ty r . And my mind is systematically shattered within the confinement of the sign paper fences; I must not disobey. And the cog-selves of the herd restrict my movements. I learn nothing from their rehabilitation therapy, as I pay the price for my freedom to once again exist amongst the steadfast surrogate structures that stand guard along the road that leads to myself. And I see the iron-cast burden that the herd bears, bringing them to their knees, forcing them to leave their Human needs along the roadside of self-trust, for want of a secure, con-crete, structuring of their time bartered lives. They rush onto the gold cobble-stoned technological road f rant ica l ly , fanat ical ly securing enough material to build a fence around their previously gathered wealth, as toilets flushed in unison around them and they wallow in the waste and verbally lash out at the beast to produce more area in which to live their rust free existences.

Earthy, now black paved road.

Suddenly the beast begins to fear their numbers. It forcefully asks an entire generation to man the machines at the new foreign self-destruction mill. The beast needed the second world holocaust to secure new markets to use what it made. But now it needs to Im-mediately destroy what it makes, for there are no more new markets . So the technological beast gives birth to a monstrous war machine designed to destroy itself and man too. And now machine vs. man! The beast tries to convince the herd that this must be, in order to preserve the security of the road from a hostile world of ignorant peasants who want to enslave the prosperous members of the road. And with this, the road rises up and becomes a two lane super highway leading to and away from the heart of the beast. The people rally and rush at the beast as many of the herd flee along the road to the shelters the beast had made for just such a crisis. And the people peacefully beseech the beast to stop the needless killing of its war, as the beast r egurg i t a t e s a green chemical slime that thrives on the sooted air and forms iron-fisted servants out of the red-stained dust of the World Wars' dead. The holocaust hints at beginning anew, as the beast beckons the same "Grim Reaper" the herd thought the World War had killed, to harvest the peace demanding souls of the naughty few who thought they'd find justice in the beast 's heart. And though tfe 'herd did not declare its opening, they willfully consented to ride the death con-veyor belts of the beasts' foreign self-destruction mill. And just as the beast used the blood of the slaughtered world War II masses to dve the text books a Com-munism red, it gives the bodies of the peace longing people to Science to find a way of molding man into a clear plastic, transplant-image of the beast. And how I learn to silently marvel at its beastly genius, while I deeply breathe the deadly black sooted air and taste the pending holocaust's slime that fills the soon to burst clouds looming ominously above us.

Connor: Have you as ye t -been pressured by the ad-ministration of this institution for the voicing of your beliefs and personal convictions?

Falk: No, Stockton's an interesting place on that level. One reason I'm here is because it is a place that encourages freedom of thought and speech. I have had it said rather forcefully to me that 1 should not attach what I think lo Stockton. It's very important to the administration that we don't take any in-stitutional stands. I respect that point of view becuase we don't represent " S t o c k t o n . " However, I would like to see people on this c a m p u s politically aware enough, to come together and say, "We at Stockton support the People's Peace Treaty and amnesty to draft evaders." Humors come back to me that exaggerate my stance - that 's the price of being "up front." I would like to be less visible and work more equally with other students, faculty, and staff. 1 don't think that people realize how many people have a l ready been working collectively. We live in, a community of students, many of whom have been to Vietnam, most of whom have to juggle several jobs to stay in school. Political issues are vital to us, they are our lives, and our bread and butter.

ECOLOGICALLY Worst Polluters Buy

Environmental Ads New York (CPS/LNS) - A

recently released study indicate that most env i ronmen ta l ad-vertising is done by industries which do the most polluting.

The Council on E c o n o m i c Pr io r i t i e s s tudied 1970 en-vironmental advertising in all issues of Time, Newsweek, and Business Week magazines. It concluded that $3.3 million, or over half, of the $6 million spent on such ads was spent by the iron and steel, e lec t r ic util i ty, pe t ro l eum, chemical, and paper industries as the country's worst polluters, the Council said.

The paper industry was first in advertising volume with seven

companies placing 47 of the 289 pages of advertising. Six of these seven companies were named in an earlier Council study as having "distinctly unimpressive en-vironmental records."

St. Regis, International Paper, Po t l a t ch Eores t s , and Ham-mermill, all paper manufacturers were noted as having " the most neglectful histories of all in con-trolling pulp mill pollution."

The report fur ther criticizes both General Motors and Ford for " o v e r s t a t i n g thei r ac-complishments in controlling auto emissions and underplaying the impact of these emissions on the

environment." While both com-panies claim 65 to 80 percent emission reduction on 1971 cars, these figures "apply only to a l imi ted number of proto-type engines," the Council said.

The env i ronmen ta l ads of S t anda rd Oil of New Je r sey , Texaco, U. S. Steel, and Armco Steel we re c o m p a r e d by the Council with news reports of their environmental performances.

" T h e images c r e a t e d by generalized claims a re not con-sistent with those conveyed by specifics in the news;" the Council states, "and the Public is left unsure of what corporations are actually doing."

Otto and Lia Boetes

Stockton had an e x t r e m e privilege to facilitate an informal, free, discussion concerning the Dutch Kabouter Movement of Amsterdam. Lia and Otto Boetes, acknowledged, full blooded Kabouters, spoke with students and professors in Room 03, on Thursday, November 18th at 1:00 p.m.

The Boetes, who are visiting the United States for a year or so, explained the fundamental beliefs behind the Dutch Kabouters.

The movements of the Dutch Kabouters is basically a protest movement, primarily made-up of the youth who are against the present society's idea ls . They believe that the old society is

perishing because it is unable to solve the problems it creates.

The Kabouter Movement has spread to Sweden where the people are practicing its ideology but avoiding the mistakes that the Dutch had slipped into. Presently, it is very successful and its v ib ra t ions a r e be ing felt throughout some of the countries of Europe.

The key to the Kabou te r Movement is that they a re at-tempting to establish an alternate society, within an already existing society, based on mutual aid and the respect for nature.

Next I s sue : What a r e the Kabouters all about?

SPEAKING: The Odyssey Of A River

The South River originates in Hamilton Township. It is there the springs well up and send their pristine contribution on its journey to the sea. Most of this journey is unseen for the river slowly and softly meanders through rural areas before it joins the Great Egg Harbor River for a swifter, public delivery to the sea.

From its genesis to its ultimate destination, the river is vulnerable. Nature will not harm it but man has the potential for harm. He can harm its natural balance by introducing alien substances into its ordered life.

To determine what can happen to the quality of the river water at a given place was the goal of Rod Smith's field trip with his GN 2139 class, The Biology of Water Pollution. The class went to a fairly accessible area of the river bank and analyzed the water and its life-forms. The results of some tests were determined at the site, others had to be delayed because of incubation periods. The testing sites spanned an outfall area and here no knowledge of biology was necessary to realize the damage to the aesthetic value of the water. Senses were assaulted by the smell as the clear water became opaque. And even though unofficial testing of the "pucker-power" of persimmons injected a light-hearted note, it was a subdued class that left the river on a chill, November day and wondered if all the dire predictions of the classroom textbooks had come to pass in this place.

Back at school, far from the river, in the days to come, the results confirmed the changes in the water. The acidity, indeed all the chemical properties were altered, pre-outfall samples were clear in their test tubes, but post-outfall samples were nestled all snug in the splendor of their multi-millioned colonies. The conclusion to be drawn: the outfall's contamination overwhelmed the river'swaste-receiving capacity at this place and depleted its oxygen.

It is true the South River is only one small river but its story has broader implications. It is typical of all our rivers. If It does not succeed In re-establishing natural conditions, its varied, beneficial forms of life will be unable to sustain life or to reproduce. And when this happens to any species - it is lost forever. As the South River attempts to re-aerate itself downstream, will another outfall discharge be wait-ing to stifle its efforts? Only another field trip to another place will tell.

Would that I knew man well enough to confidently write - the river has recovered downstream and its watery progress to the sea again delights and rewards the senses.

"Comin' For To Bury My Home" The Movement Against Strip Mining

SUNG TO THE TUNE: SWING LOW, SWEET CHARIOT

"Strip away, big D-9 Dozer, comin' for to bury my home I'm gettin madder as you're gettin closer Comin for to bury my home.

Well I looked up a spoil bank and what did I see Comin for to bury my home The Island Creek Coal Company pushin down my trees Comin for to bury my home.

They're goin to turn our mountain homeland to acid-clay Comin for to bury my home To make a cheaper rate for the TVA Comin for to bury my home."

HAZARD, Kentucky (LNS) - There's a spirit moving In the hills of Eastern Kentucky. It's the spirit of a people uniting to save their land. Strip mining operations here have polluted the water, cut down the forests and turned the mountains into badlands. Appalachian mountain people, a people of the land, are gathering their forces to put an end to the destruction.

Strip mining has done the damage here in only a few years. The stripping boom didn't really begin until 1968, although coal companies have been underground mining the area for years.

But strip mining is a very different operation from underground mining. Underground mining removes the earth from the coal. To get at the coal beneath the surface, strippers use dynamite and earth moving machines so big that they have to be assembled at the work site.

After cutting a roadway into the mining area - often as wide as a four-lane highway, to allow the giant coal trucks to travel faster - the monster digging machines go to work. They cuta three-story high swath along the edge of the mountainside above the coal seam. The earth and

LANSING, Mich. (LNS) -The Detroit F ree Press said that "Freaks and wierdos intermingled with newsmen and lawyers," at the Michigan State Supreme Court Tuesday, November 2. They had come to watch Rainbow People's Party Chairman John Sinclair's lawyers make their final appeal to overturn the 10 year sentence he is currently serving for the possession of two joints.

It all began January 24, 1967 when police raided the Detroit Artists' workshop arresting 56 people. Detroit papers announced that the raid succeeded in smashing a vast campus (Wayne State) dope ring. John Sinclair, who founded the workshop, was singled out as the ringleader and charged with "dispensing and possessing." /

rock removed are pushed over the side of the hill, leaving a giant apron of unstable debris. Above the coal seam a great cliff or "highwall" is left as a scar encircling the mountain. In some areas, several seams are mined, one above the other.

After the coal is removed from the strip mine bench, the augering begins. Giant drills bore into the edge of the exposed seam of coal penetrating 100 to 200 feet beneath the mountain, taking the coal from a series of parallel holes.

Paul Ashley, a vocational high school teacher in the area, held up a bottle of water. "I got this water from the creek behind my house," he said. "Yesterday, I put a shiny new nail into the bottle, and you can see what the water has done to it." The nail was bent and encrusted with rust. "Before they started strip mining In our community, I used to fish in that creek,' he said, ''now there isn't a single living thing there."

The acid run-off from strip mining comes from having the coal face exposed to the weather. In deep mining, the sulfuric acid that is mixed with the coal and shale never comes to the surface. But when it rains on a strip mine, the acid is washed down the barren hillsides In a thousand streamlets, poisoning the rivers and streams in the valley below.

"Every tree is like a little dam," Mr. Combs explained, "holding back and absorbing water. When they strip the hills there's no place for the rain water to go but into the river. We've had some floods here, but I'll predict we haven't seen the worst of it, If they continue stripping."

The coal companies are supposed to "reclaim" the land after they're finished stripping it. They're bound by law to replant the hillsides and repack the loose dirt against the coal seam. In fact, though, their reclamation efforts are only half-hearted attempts, or they don't bother with it at all. So far, no reclamation project has really worked.

The companies talk of the "millions of dollars being spent on re-search into reclamation technology," as if this were a sign of their social responsibility. The people of Appalachia realize this is an admis-sion that the companies don't yet know how to restore the land they have ruined. Yet the coal concerns continue to chew up the countryside as fast as their machines will work.

The law certainly isn't going to stop them. In Appalachia, King Coal is the law. Coal operators own 44% of all the land in West Virginia. In 1970, strippers extracted 154,361,000 tons of coal from the Appalachian region (not to mention the 274,834,000 tons from underground mines). Getting $8.00 a ton for the coal, operators have enough economic clout to get whatever they want.

"They own the courts, the police and the politicians," one local resident said. "It's no good trying to take the owners to court. It's just as likely you'll end up in jail as them."

There have been guerrilla type attacks on strip mining sites, but the objective has always been to destroy the machinery, not kill people.

The people in the movement to stop strip mining and restore the land see the big-city, corporate conglomerates (U. S. Steel, Bethlehem Steel, Norfolk and Western Railway), who own and lease the coal fields, as their real enemy. They have sat in their cars by railroad crossings and waited for the five-mile coal trains to pass, heading east. They have seen the wealth of the land leave the area, and grieve over the ravaged countryside.

"They take everything there is to take, and leave us with jay Rockefeller," a West Virginia resident said, scoffing at his state's governor.

Electric power companies are the main consumers of coal, and the

Strip mining leaves wastes like this across the Nation and the world.

big-city demands for power provide the incentive and profit margin for the coal operators. To maintain the "electric American standard of living," Appalachia i s being turned into a wasteland. Because of the big city demand for a more luxurious lifestyle, the mountain people of Kentucky are suffering. Technology is again dictating to the people what must be. May the movement be victorious otherwise another natural environment will be destroyed for a short term monetary profit. And as long as there is profit, the strippers intend to keep stripping. But the movement against the pillage for profit i s growing stronger every day. At almost every meeting they sing, "Ain't NOBODY goin to turn me around!" They mean it.

Indians Lose Again The Quebec National Assembly

has given the go ahead to the largest hydro-electric generat ing complex in the W e s t e r n hemisphere. The hydro complex will be built on the eastern shore of .James Bay, just below Hudson Bay, and will involve five ma jo r rivers that drain much of western Quebec . Cons t ruc t i on of the massive plant will involve the creation of 11 artificial lakes, 120 dams and many diversion tunnels. The five r ivers are the Hottaway, the Broadback, the Rupert , the Kastmain and the La Grande.

The cost of the project will be about $6 billion and production will be some 10.6 billion wat ts of electrical energy, most of which is expected to be exported to the northeastern United States, ac-cording to .James Littleton of Quebec, a writer there and Cy (ionick, of Winnepeg, who is a

member of Par l iament . The ecological ef fects of the

project a re expected to be im-mense, but a s yet nobody knows what they will be. One immedia te effect will be that the original residents of the a rea , some 7,000 Cree Indians will have to find s o m e w h e r e e lse to go. T h e government of Quebec decided to go ahead with the project ap-parently without consulting the Crees, although under the HUD-SON Bay Company Act of 1912, the act that turned Quebec over to the government from the Hudson Bay Company, it is specifically s tated that the government mus t reach a g r e e m e n t with t h e n a t i v e population before doing anything to the land.

It is also expected that the financing will be done by American interests . : : Earth News.

The Altruistic President Due to the objection of President Bjork, Stockton will not Inaugurate its first president. Even though the

Board of Trustees attempted to persuade President Bjork to follow suit, he refused to participate in the festivities. When asked to comment on this irregular behavior, President Bjork said, "I just don't think It's either .necessary or of interest to people, and doesn't attract interest or enthusiasm."

Various published reports revealed that Rutgers spent approximately $25,000 for the inauguration of their president, paterson State College spent over $7,000, and the list continues with other colleges in N. J. President Bjork believes this kind of spending to be ridiculous and we of this newspaper agree with him. He said, "there is very little interest in ceremonial activities, and the college should find some other outlet for the money."

The money for the inauguration would probably have come from either the Student Service Fee or from the Board of Trustee's Budget. The proposed sum for Stockton's inauguration was estimated by one of the administrators to be somewhere between $3,000 - $7,000. This expenditure may not appear to be large in comparison to that of a few other colleges, but is it really a necessity?

This amount of money does not even exceed many of the single obligations required by this college. Stockton is a new school with old problems, not enough space or money. Stockton, as of yet, does not have a major apathy problem, but there still are people who are needed to help this institution grow. Many struggling groups and organizations will agree with president Bjork that the money for the inauguration should go elsewhere. The money, however, since it was really never allocated for the inauguration, remains within the college budget. Thanks to president Bjork's decision, Stockton need not waste any money, but how available is that money to the rest of the college community?

The Library (?) A Peronalized Editorial

I have felt that the success of S.S.C. was based on a mutual regard between faculty, students and staff. However, while returning an over-due book to our library, I found this not to be true among some of the policy making staff in our library. Here it is apparently felt that my over-due fine, which was 84% of the original price, was a fair "punishment" for my late book.

I was charged $1.05 late fee for a paperback which cost the library $1.25. I was told that this was an '•adequate punitive measurement" for my crime. "ADEQUATE?"' I feel tliis is not only EXCESSIVELY adequate, but completely outrageous!

In president Bjork's letter of July 21 to the students and staff regarding our location at the Mayflower Hotel, he wrote of the great importance of "flexibility.. .and willingness to change." I found the library was unable to be either flexible or willing to change, after what I felt were very reasonable suggestions on my part. If any of you should experience this same problem, I certainly hope you will be more suc-cessful in convincing the library staff to follow president Bjork's suggestion.

From the desk of the Feature Editor

LETTERS Dear Editor:

Whoever had the idea to send turkeys and things to poor people in the community deserves little credit for originality but a lot of credit for thought. Who should I thank?

B.F.K. Dear B.

Thank the Program Committee of the Campus Activities office. Our thanks follows yours.

- E d .

Editor: There is a petition circulating to

have the College Council seating changed, demand ing tha t the students hold a majority of the seats.

Thus it would seem to me that the students do not trust the faculty and administration and because of this distrust they feel they should have the majority of the voting power.

If we are not going to form a Stockton Community why evade the issue. Split off into separate bodies, only representing a small part of the community.

What shall we call these bodies:

i

student and faculty; right and left wing; D e m o c r a t s and Repub l i cans ; Communi sm and Democracy; black, white, Italians, Indians, Puerto Ricans, etc.?

On some level we are going to have to find and give trust. The College Council gives us the chance to give our trust to the "faculty" and make them less of a faculty.

Let's not have a power play. The only way we are going to have a tight knit community to help all of us by helping each other is to give trust.

Or perhaps the students filing the petition feel they deserve an unequal portion of the Stockton Community.

Gary Lentz, Rm. 265

Dear Mr. Lentz: The p a s s a g e of t i m e will

determine whether or not the College Council will have the high ideal (trust) you speak of. We feel that the Council should be given at least a few more meetings to see if there is polarization of the 3 groups and if a "balance of power" is needed.

Ed.

Love really causes people to act or react sometimes in a way that they don't understand.' They may find themselves frustrated, sad, introspective, or elated, wondrous, and delirious with life's sur-prises. The following poets have expressed their reactions to this somewhat complex emotion:

A child cried yesterday, but no one heard.

An old oak fell, but no one stirred.

The rich had much, but no one shared.

And I have loved,

And I brought you a paper flower Because paper doesn't die, But you were. And I didn't want you to see death Before the actual final moment.

FEEDBACK you'll never know how deep the hurt screamed inside of me when i turned away from your face and voice only because i saw her smile sparkle inside your eyes, when my image faded from your gaze in return for a familiar phrase tossed among your joking talk with her in my direction. and that made me turn around just in time to hear you say: goodbye.

We saw love in a different color. It was not fiery red with passion Or dirty black with distrust, Nor was it gray with misunderstanding.

It was more of a calm soft green. Like the fields we ran through this summer; Or the color of your soft e y e s . . . A green like the eternal sea.

It was a beautful green without a blemish. It was as alive as living itself, And as free as a childhood dream. What a pity we went blind.

You grew tired of trying to make life work, So you tried to take from life living. But you did not die like you would have hoped. You lie dying for a week. What an awfully long time When you are only twenty.

By Ed price

I wish I was a poet, Then I could express

all the emotions welling up inside. . . But all that comes to mind is

I love you. Nothing more.

"Women in Li tera ture" is a course taught by Candace Fa lk that is open to women only. A minor outcry has arisen from this discrimination and perhaps some stated thoughts on the subject will c lear the air .

Ms. Falk wanted her class to be for women only for reasons I will go into presently. A Stockton board voted on whether the class should be closed to m e m b e r s of the male gender and when the voting was over, there was a 3-3 tie. As a resul t of the deadlock it was decided that Ms. Falk should choose if thl"bl^ss was open or closed and she m'a de her decision.

Ms. Falk feels that too often in a mixed class, the men tend ' to dominate the conversation while

the women sit back. Another point Candace m a d e is that women in a mixed class not only sit back sometimes, when they do speak they a r e likely to be inhibited and less anxious to give a presentat ion in class that a irs their personal feelings. One of Ms. Fa lk ' s ob-jectives in teaching this class was to get women who a re usually quiet to speak out when they felt the need.

The c o u r s e , " W o m e n in Li te ra ture" deals with how women have beèn portrayed, and how they are por t rayed, through l i tera ture w r i t t e n by wel l known a n d r e s p e c t e d a u t h o r s , m a l e a n d f e m a l e .

Sorry, No Rentals

On Saturday, November 13th, Stockton's linemen faced those of

' Atlantic County College. The game was played at A.C.C., and Stockton lost 30 to 26.

We got off to a fine lead in the first quar ter 13-0. Then everything went to worms. Of course things don't look that bad. One of the brightest spots on the team was the excellent performance of the of-fensive line. They gained quite a bit of yardage rushing and kept the scoring on A.C.C.'s par t pretty low.

Scoring the touchdowns for Stockton were: Gene Kelly, Jose' Delgato, and Ray Brown.

Attendance at the game was poor and if these activities are to continue proper support must be given. People here at the campus complain there's nothing to do, well get out and support our teams and form a Stockton Cheering Squad, then you'll have somèthing to do, and our teams will get the support they desire.

King Curtis: Live At Fillmore I think the whole world was

shocked by the sudden death, in Philadelphia a few months ago, of the great saxophonist King Curtis. King Curtis had only been getting the recognition he had always deserved in this last year. His roots go back to rock and roll and the great surge of Motown productions in the sixties.

studying the li terary t rea tment of women is a women's own personal feelings on who she is as a female human being. I don't think too many men could say they know how a women feels in our society.

Please don't get the idea that the class is completely hostile to male " in t ruders ." We have had one open session where male students and faculty were invited to discuss m?le and female role stereo-types

Jesus Christ Superstar

Billy J o e , " "C hang es , " and J e r r y Butler 's "I Stand Accused."

The back up people a r e the best you can ask for. They include the Kingpins, Billy Preston (who has an a lbum on Apple records) on organ, and The Memphis Horns (who do back up work for and tour with Stephen Stills.)

I feel 'Rine At the Fi l lmore West' is King Curtis expressing himself for you, the listener I t is a good album to have and a great tribute to the man called King Curtis.

Alex Calabrese

Saturday night, November 20th the traveling production of "Jesus Christ Supers ta r" was at the S p e c t r u m . T h e r e a r e m a n y productions touring the country u n d e r v a r i o u s n a m e s . T h e production I saw in Philadelphia is the only one called "Jesus Christ Supers ta r . "

Unfortunately the original cas t (on the album) does not exist a s a group any longer. Even the multi-million dollar show currently being s taged in the New York theatre has only a handful of people who s t a r red in the album. Indeed, in the New York production, the main s ta r s (Judas and Jesus) a re played by singers not listed anywhere on the album. ( "Supers t a r , " by the way, is the first musical to become a s tage show after production of an a lbum) . Hence, nowhere will you be able to view an "original cas t" per formance unless you can go back in t ime 2,000 years .

Anyway, the production at the S p e c t r u m was q u i t e good. I especially enjoyed the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber as done by this production. The par ts of Mary Magdalene, Judas , and Pontius Pi la te were also especially good.

Unfortunately no programs were given out at the performance so it is impossible to say who played what role.

Seating in the Spectrum as you probably know, is ridiculous. This is because the Spectrum (in the words of Graham Nash) is shaped like "a giant paint can ." It in no way lends itself to anything but hockey and basketball games.

All of the pe r fo rmers were very professional and must have had much experience with the stage. All were at ease and sang so well that they were given a 10 minute ovation at the close of the show which prompted an encore. There were no flubs, no one stepped on anyone else's lines, and no one missed a cue.

H e a r i n g t he " O v e r t u r e , " "Hosanna ," "I Don't Know How To Love Him," "The Arres t , " and "Supers ta r " live was worth the hassles of the Spectrum. This " R o c k - O p e r a " w a s p l e a s a n t , unoffending, and *vell done. The show was enjoyed by the mixed audience of f reaks , adults, nuns, and kids. A fine t ime was had by all.

D .M.

and other such classes a re plan-ned.

As a member of the class I can say that the int imate a tmosphere created by having J2 or 13 girls who know they can say openly, without ridicule, how they feel about l i terature about women and how it affects them as a women could not possibly be quite as valuable if there were men m the class.
