Inc I uding election reforms

SMC Student Assembly approves proposals by Mary Janca

St. Mary's Editor

St. Mary's Student Assembly last night approved several Plection reforms, proposed that the bookstore rpmain open for an extra two hours during the first three dass days of the semester. and allocated a $1000 supplemPnt to the graduation budget to help defray costs of the cocktail party.

Election Commissioner Katie Kearney proposed several revisions to the present election rules. All n•visions are effective immediately.

Concerning the reformation of election rules, Kearney proposed that LeMans Hall be the only site where balloting for all school and class elections are held. t<:ll•ctions for hall officers and Student Assembly rPpresentatives will remain in the halls.

Kt>arney recalled previous elections this year which wpre invalidated because the polling places were not manned. as the primary reason for the revision.

The Assembly also passed a proposal that prohibits posting the numerical results of an election. "I believe election results should be posted, but not the numbers hv which a candidate won or lost an election," said KParney. "That only adds insult to injury."

Should a candidate want to know the numerical outcome of the election, however, Kearney stated that she could contact the election commissioner to find out the statistics.

"W1• <student government> shouldn't have to tell the Pntire student body how much a candidate lost by, nor should that information have to be published for general consumption," commented Legislative Commissioner .Joanne Garrett.

A third reform approved by the Assembly allows any candidate who receives 50 per cent plus 1 of the votes in a primary election to be declared the winner of that post.

Candidates on tickets only

Assembly members, after some debate, passed a proposal requiring that candidates running for a class position must run on a ticket of four. with one candidate for Pach post.

Aecording to Garrett, "candidates now are nominated st•parately, and are voted for separately, but still campaign as a ticket. As a result, it makes sense to be \·ott>d into office together on a ticket."

"This move makes for a more cohesive government. The officers must be able to work together and bring unity to the dass. They can't do this if they don't know l'achother,"Kearney said.

(;arrt>U noted that this action "puts the classes in a parall~:>l situation with the hall governments as far as l'!ections go."

A proposal regarding a slight limitation on the number of campaign posters also received passage. Garrett noted that during past elections, signs filled the first floor of LeMans, which she labelled as "prime territory for candidates to catch the student's eyes."

She also commented, though, that the posters created problems with the housekeeping staff, and that area. as well as being a "prime territory" is also the location of most administrative offices.

Consequently, the Assembly limited the ~·· number of posters that a candidate can display on the first floor of LeMans to two, t•ach of which could be no larger than stan­dard posterboard size. Anywhere else on campus. said Garrett. "is a free for all."

ST. MARY'S Student Assembly voted on many imperative issues, among which were election reforms proposed by Katie Kearney.

The Assembly also agreed to eliminate from the ballots. the box marked "no", which follows the can­didate's name. Garrett and Kearney stated that it only served to "confuse people."

In the case of an uncontested election, the "no" box will be left on the ballot, "as an option". This would allow a student to vote against a candidate running unopposed."

"However, when we have more than one candidate for the same position, it is obvious that by voting for one candidate, you're voting against the others," continued < ;arrett.

"If the election is close, ballots can be counted more than twice, while if on the first count, one candidate is ahead by 500 votes, the election commissioner may rlt>cide a recount is unnecessary," said Garrett.

l\1t>at on Lenten Fridays

In other action. the Assembly proposed and passed a motion that SAGA serve at least one meat dish on the n•maining Fridays of Lent.

Presently, the food service serves only meatless dishes on Lenten Fridays. According to Garrett, the rl1•cision to do so was "purely administrative," and ram(' following a statement from the Bishop of the Fort \\"<lVnP-South Bend Diocese that all Catholics in the diocese were not allowed to eat meat on the Fridays of l.('nt.

Garrett argued that the dining hall should be allowed to offer at least one meat dish for non-Catholics and non­practicing Catholics. If SAGA did so, "this puts the responsibility of the individual consciences where it truly belongs," she commented.

Bookstore hours extension

Because of the long lines at the bookstore during the first three class days of each semester, the Assembly unanimously approved a proposal to extend the bookstore hours on those days. The SMC bookstore is eurrently open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The proposal. if approved by the Student Affairs Committee and Student Affairs Council, will keep the bookstore open until 6:30 on the first three days of the semester.

Thursday, March 6 marked a turning point for this year's Sophomore Literary Festival. With the arrival of Tillie Olsen and Michael Hyan. joining James T. Farrell, John Logan and John I .ogan Jr., a spirit of rejoicing in the vibrancy of literature began to resonate from the Festival.

As Tillie Olsen said in the opening remarks for Thursday's

night reading, "Being in the same room with three generations of writers makes me aware of the ongoing process of literature, gives me a sense of ancestors and descendants, of the ongoing con­tributions to literature."

D:llserver lnsiCJht Thursday was highlighted by Michael Ryan's reading, Tillie

Olsen's reading and a reception at the home of Prof. Ernest San­deen of the English department.

Ryan opened by reading some of Prof. Sandeen's poetry. He tempered his presentation with a fine sense of the community which the Sophomore Literary Festival had been working to attain. Ryan, Notre Dame Class of '68, acknowledged with enthusiasm the presence of the other authors present at the Festival by calling the event "Literary Giants of the Twentieth Century and One Pip­squeak Alumnus."

Ryan began reading of his own poetry with a piece entitled "Hitting Fungos," which concerns a fantasy about playing baseball with kids in a field, being chased for vagrancy, and attempting to legitimize his presence by waving a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship letter in the face of the approaching police.

Macheca tells of added security on the campus

llPan of Students John Macheca statPd yesterday that security has i>PPn increased following an at­tPmpted rape near the Ad­ministration building last week.

llowPver Macheca declined to giw out specifics concerning the 1ncrease when contacted yester­day. "That would tend to defeat thP purpose of increasing patrols," h1• said. "If someone were really up to no good they would be able to ldPntify who the security guards an•. and know where they are going to be and at what times."

liP concluded by emphasizing that the patrols have been in­rreased. and are concerned with those areas and hours where and whPn these things have occurred before. He said security is doing its best to protect those who would be potential victims.

Legal Association

ND Service offers free legal aid .. Editor's Note: This is the second of a three-part series about Judicial proceedings and the Legal Aid and Defender Association. This article capsulizes the whole structure of the Association and features the University Referals division. The third part to be published in Wednesday's paper discusses the other six divisions of the Association which pertain to the legal aid available to the community at large.

by Tom Husso Staff Rt>portt>r

The LPgal Aid and Defender Association. run by students of the Notre Dame Law School, is a large organization comprising seven divisions designed to serve the legal needs of people who cannot afford to pay lawyer's fees.

"We are presently in a re­building program to serve more pt>ople", stated Willie Lipscomb, 1•xecutive director of the

Airlift of trapped crew begins in Antarctic seas

BllENOS AIRES WPil lll'!icopters brought the first <-rewmPn from the U.S. icebreaker (;lacier. trapped in thick antarctic ieP. to an Argentine air base Sunday. an Argentine air forces spokesman said.

The spokesman said the U.S. helicopters brought the crewmen and scientists to the air field at Rio (;allegos. some 600 miles south of BLwnos Aires.

HP said an Air Force jet would bring the men from Rio Gallegos to the Argentine capital later.

"The crewmen coming in were airlifted by U.S. helicopters from the base Sunday morning," he said.

"Because of their size, the helicopters can only take a few men at a time," the spokesman said.

According to radio reports received by the Coast (iuard in Long Beach, Calif., the personnel still aboard the Glacier are safe and in good spirits.

"The ice is fantastic," said Keith Courson. 14, of San Gabriel, Calif., who with his brother, Douglas, 16, are two of the cadets aboard. "I would like to stay down there."

The other cadet. Hichard Barili, Hi, of Pasadena, Calif., said, "Im having a lot of fun."

The Coast Guard at Long Branch

which has been maintaining radio rontact with the Glacier said the ruttPr moved a quarter of a mile Saturday in its attempt to reach a rrack two miles away in the Wedell SPa icefield. The fissure leads to the opPn sea.

The (;lacier became trapped last WPdnesday while en route to help an Argentine cutter frozen in the icP field. the U.S. Coast Guard said Saturday.

It said one of the glacier's two six-ton blades sheared off and hecamP WPdged in the freezing ice flow. The long winter of the South l'ole is dosing in and unless the <ilacier can be freed soon, it will be frozen in the ice until spring arrives next November.

The (;lacier carried a crew of 211, Pight civilian scientists and three naval sea cadets, high school ~-ouths from California.

The 8,449-ton. 309-foot Glacier rarries Pnough food. fuel and other supplies to see the stranded crew through the long Antarctic winter if nPcessary. The Coast Guard said all but 90 crewmen who 1·olunteered to stay aboard as long as necessary would be airlifted from the ship.

An Argentine 0130 is scheduled to land at a nearby island Monday to assist in Pvacuation if the Glacier has to "winter in."

Association. Already a wide spectrum of people including students, farm workers, prisoners and the working poor, can come to I ,pgal Aid for help.

St>vt>n divisions The seven divisions of the

program are: 1) University Heferals. which

deals with the legal problems of both graduate and undergraduate students of Notre Dame and St. 1\lary's.

2) Cass County Program. Ap­proximately two dozen Jaw students work as interns to the lawyers of Cass County, Michigan. In general the studPnts handle both criminal and l'ivil cases of "indigent persons." lkeause of Michigan's Jaws, both sPcond and third year students can. if under the su-pervision of a 1\lichigan lawyer. rPpresent clients in court. 1 Indiana permits only third ~·ear students to do this. l

:n Labor Division aids mainly migrant workers in the Berrien Springs, Michigan area, but is Pxpanding to include the problems of the working poor in other communities.

4) Post-Conviction RemPdies. Inmates at the Indiana State Prison at Michigan City and two other institutions are informed of their legal rights and interviewed by law students if the prisoners wish to appeal their convictions or sentences.

5) Community Services, Provide legal aid. research and advice to poor people in the South Bend area.

(i) Prosecutors' Division. SP\'eral students work as interns at tht> St. .Joseph County Prosecutor's Office in South Bend. In general lhPy screen and give legal help to pPoplt• who come to the Prosecutor's Office because they know of nowhere Pise to turn.

i) Litigation Division. Most of th1• cases handled by Legal Aid are st>ttlt>d out of court. Should a rase in any other division become involvPd <;nough to require court action. this division prepares the rasP for court appearances.

In addition to these divisions. a Program Co-ordinator arranges for spPakers to deliver seminars and manages the funding, such as grants. for the Association.

The Faculty Advisor to the Association.· Prof. Conrad K!'llt>nberg of the I .aw School has pro\·idt>d "a great deal of moral support to the organizaion". ac­rording to Lipscomb. "He is alwavs there if we need him and ronstantly gives us his advice and his ht>lp."

l'nivt•rsity Ht>ft>rals "Actuallv. the name is

misleading,;' commented KPIIPnburg. "Originally the division mPrely referred students to the places where legal help was available." Now, of course, the divison provides that help itself.

"If a student needs help", said Division Director Joe Cassini, "the hPst way to contact us is to call us first at .283-7795 and make an ap­pointmPnt for the next day." The n•ason for this. hP explained, is that the division "is presently undt•rstaffed. and we can't set up n•gular hours, although we'd like to." A student ran come in and leave a notP-if he does not call.

Financial limitations There are limitations as to who is

digihll' for aid. "A student must not have more than $1,500 in net asspts. such as bank accounts. sto(·ks. bonds. or automobile." l'assini I'Xplained. Furthermore. th1• studPnt cannot receive more

month in income from any source. Money to be put toward tuition is not included in that $1,500 ceiling. nor is parental mrom1' a factor. "If a student is married. there is $150 dt>duction for each dependent", he l'ontinued.

With poetry and song

Ferlinghetti presentation closes festival by Hoht•rt Jacques

Staff Reporter Lawrence Ferlinghetti, poet,

novelist. and playwright, presented ~aturday a reading of a variety of his poetry to an overflowing audience in the library auditorium. His presentation marked the end

of the Sophomore Literary Festival.

Ferlinghetti began the evening by singing three poems, two from the "Songs of Experience" and one from the "Songs of Innocence" by Blake. to music which he played on his autoharp. The last line of the ''Nurse's Song" and "And all the hills echoed' was repeated several times in the form of a song which the audience participated in along with Ferlinghetti.

Ferlinghetti then read from his own works. beginning with a poem on the topic of underwear. Other poems read concerned themselves with love and the mountains of South America.

Many of his subjects come from

Ferlinghetti's own experiences. One such poem concerned itself with a large bus he travelled on ghe outskirts of Moscow which played the music of Seggovia over the radio.

Ferlinghetti then presented four poems from a 1974 collection en­titled "New Directions." The works included "The Astonishing Art," "In Time of Revolution, For Instance," "Elegy on the Death of Kenneth Patchin," and "Baseball Cantos." The first two are what he ealled "Restaurant poems". Composed in restaurants, they are about the people he saw dining in them. San Francisco was the scene of

the rise of the rebirth of the oral poetic tradition. A large number of his poems deal with the city or places in it. One of his collections of poetry, "Starting from San Francisco." reflects the large role the city plays in his writings.

Ferlinghetti presented several works from unpublished collection

of poetry' which, he said, would probably be entitled "Tropic of Frisco," reflecting the importance once again flf the west coast city. He presented "The Heavy," "The Highway Patrol," and "Dissidents."

a few moments he reflected upon the history of American poetry, citing the important figures in it. The most influencial of modern times was, according to Ferlinghetti, Robert Bly. Bly was a guest of the Festival Friday evening.

The captivated audience responded to the conclusion of the two-hour presentation with a lengthy, standing ovation.

Festival ends on successful note (continued from page 1)

On that Thursday evening, owing to the presence ofthe authors and the overwhelming spirit of all those involved in the Festival, the "community spirit" took root. The rest of tne week was a joy.

It was obvious from that point on that the authors were more than happy to be present at Notre Dame for the Festival. They were glad to be in the presence of the sophomores. who had worked for this moment. they were glad to be in the presence of the other authors. As a whole, the Festival had begun to address itself to the universe of literature, recognizing itself as a small but powerful eorner of that universe.

The most remarkable aspect of the Festival in the remainder of the week, from Thursday to Saturday, was the resonating eharacteristic of the proceedings. Each statement made. each !'motion expressed, each name mPntioned inconversation or quote pxchanged in discussion rPsonated; it vibrated in the highly eharged atmosphere of the FPstival and. more often that not. gave off more excitement in that atmosphere than the speaker could have ever imagined.

On Friday evening, Robert Bly stepped up to the stage in the Library Auditorium and con­m•eted with the positive energy there. His dynamic presentation was one of the biggest highlights of the Festival for those who had watched it from the beginning.

It would be impossible here to Pxpress with the same illumination the intense points of Bly's reading. His exuberance. the instant rap­port he established with the audience. his energetic renditions, the highly-charged recitations marked by finely honed movements of his hands and body: all of these gave the reading a sense of moment. and presence that were so intense that they are difficult to recreate here.

As Bly said. "No one knows what a poetry reading sounds like ... what a poetry reading is." He was speaking of the fact that no one really knows what the first poetry readings, those of Virgil or Homer, sounded like. So it is here.

Robert Bly began by playing a tune on his dulcimer, a hill song from the South filled with good humor. He then recited a poem by Anthony Machado, which he followed with remarks on the difficulties of publishing tran­slations of Spanish poets.

For the most part, Bly recited the poetry in Friday's reading from memory, something that he remarked upon during a seminar Saturday afternoon. "If you really want to know a poem ... make it part of your life ... then you should memorize it, put it in your gut," he

told the audience. Bly went on to directly challenge

the audience, through a long discussion on daydreaming.

"Daydreaming is passive." he called to the audience. "Why should I be the active one here?" Remarking on the fact that Western man is ad­dicted to daydreaming, he asked the audience to supply him with a link between daydreaming and eapitalism. "Daydreaming drains you." he said, going on to show how poeple daydream and miss those things that are happening around them.

Bly's use of masks

Another highlight of Bly's reading was his use of masks. "What is the poem?" he asked. "If the poet mis-relates--if the poet masks--the poem is ridiculous." The masks. as Bly used them, Pmphasized and drew out the Pssence of the poetry as he recited it. The first mask, somewhat resembling a pig, was used as he recited two poems about living with animals.

The second mask captured a spirit of ugliness. not in the sense of grotesque ugliness but everyday ugliness. the ugliness that emits from an everyday evil. "This is what Henry Kissinger looks like inside." he said. Wearing this mask. Bly recited a poem entitled "Counting Small Warm Bodies," an anti-war poem.

Bly followed this terrifying mask with the Beast mask from Coc­teau's ''Beauty and the Beast." The audience was fully prepared to meet with even more fearful recitations than with the last mask, but Bly counteracted with a humorous rendering of "Hail to Thee, Blithe Spirit." He then parodied the Campbell's Soup commercials and recited "The Busy Man Speaks."

For many, Bly's reading was one of the most drama tic and memorable in Festival history.

The reading was followed by a reception in the University Club.

Ferlinghetti at Saturday seminar

The final day of the Festival featured a seminar on Poetry conducted by Robert Bly and Lawrence Ferlinghetti, a reading by "the Juggler poets,"

Ferlinghetti's reading and a reception at the home of Dr. Ed­ward Vasta.

Saturday afternoon's seminar with Ferlinghetti and Bly covered a diverse range of topics, from daydreaming to the strength of the media as an element of "ingesting society's most dissident elements" to the influence of psychedelics in the sixties to the poetry of Iran and

Persia. The seminar was characterized

by a feeling of community, a sense of openness. The room was full of people speaking out, challenging t>ach other's ideas and delighting in the product of the union of many minds. As one student commented upon leaving the seminar, "There were ten times as many people in that room as there are in my eollegiate seminar, and the discussion was ten times as intense

and productive. How come?" The seminar was followed by a

reading by "the Juggler poets." The reading gave the opportunity to many of the student poets to present their work "in the marketplace." Most of the poets appeared somewhat nervous and shaky. but all handled themselves with confidence and a deep sense of seriousness about their work.

Ovt-r£low crowd for Ferlinghetti

Saturday evening found the Library Auditorium packed, with some of the crowd overflowing into the hallway and the lounge. Lawrence Ferlinghetti had turned out to be the biggest attraction of the Festival.

Ferlinghetti walked out onto the erowded stage, sat himself on a Persian rug. removed his boots and picked up his autoharp to sing three songs from Blake's "Songs of Experience." The songs were set to music by poet Allen Gins-berg. The light, playful tunes

calmed the somewhat restless crowd, and Ferlenghetti delighted them by "corning up" the second tune. "Sunflowers."

On the third song, Ferlinghetti invited the audience to sing the last line as a mantra. They joined him in full voice, chanting "and all the hills echo-ed."

He then read "a serious poem about underwear," and from that point it became evident that Robert Bly would have company in the memory of this year's Festival.

As important as the poems themselves were Ferlinghetti 's surrounding remarks. Before a set of "Restaurant Poems," he stated, "Every person who walks by is a walking poem. You've got to realize that."

He spoke about the atmosphere of boredom that surrounds a hotel, restaurant or bus station. "Sometimes it just gets so boring," he said, "that the only thing left is to write a poem. Poetry really is the last resort, it really does save your life sometimes." .

Ferlinghetti read from his book Open Eye, Open Heart, featuring "Elegy on the Death of Kenneth Patchen" ("I stand up for that man," he said and he did), "Baseball Canto" and "Pound at

Spoleto." He then read from a book he is currently working on, ten­tatively titled Topic of Frisco. Among these poems were "The Great American Waterfront Poem" and a "public surface poem" entitled "The Highway PatroL':

After a brief intermission, Ferlinghetti read five more poems, concluding with "The Populist Manifesto," a poem dedicated to the elusive spirit of poets such as Carl Sandburg, Walt Whitman and Robert Frost. "Poetry isn't a secret society," he urged. Asking the poets of the people to come out of their hiding places, the poem concluded, "Awake, and walk in the open air."

There were no better words with which to formally close the 1975 Sophomore Literary Festival. It had fulfileld its purpose, in that the spirit of the literary community

had become instilled in the souls of those involved in the Festival. The eyes and hearts of many people in the University community had been touched and opened and the positive energy that h~d been unleashed will remain a force for some time to come.

•• Dpinian Coalition

Communication And Food Day

fr. dan mcneill I am concerned that there have been many "communication

gaps" concerning the Hunger Coalition during this past 6 months. Therefore, I would like to briefly summarize the history of the Coalition and to encourage students, faculty, staff and ad­ministration to participate in the National Food Day which is planned for April 17, 1975.

SLF: Spirit And Life Most of us have been well aware of AI Sondej's presence since

September. He has initiated concern for the hunger crisis by his presence outside the Dining Halls and his writings in The Observer. !<'acuity, administration, and staff in response to a program of

Professors Peter Walshe, Bob Rodes, etc. have pledged part of their salary 1$13,361 from 261 persons) to the "Third World Relief Fund." Their initial efforts combined with the work of Father llt>sburgh preceded the development of the World Hunger Coaltion here at the University of Notre Dame.

The eighth Sophomore Literary Festival closed Saturday night after a week of intense and often times profound reflections.

Joseph Brodsky, James Purdy, James Farrell, John Logan, Michael Ryan, Tillie Olsen, Robert Bly and Lawrence Ferlinghetti all look lime to share wilh us their insights into the human condition. Prodding gently or demanding eccentricly, they took us on a journey past the drudgery of midsemester and into the overwhelming questions of our existence.

Under the direction of Festival chairman Chris Mahon some forty devoted sophomores negotiated the mechanics and the logistics of the festival. All of I his not without considerable personal cost in terms of lime, energy and disposition. Their unflagging en­thusiasm, however, resulted in the spirit and life of the 1975 festival.

Because of their work, we have gone past the everyday academic world of the University and marvelled at ourselves and all men. Charges against lhe festival because of its expense and lack of com­munity, seem lo fall away after the wonder and ex-

cilemenllhe festival produced last week. The Observer, along with the University com­

munity, offers its grateful appreciation to the 1975 Sophomore Literary Festival Committee for a festival of inestimable worth.

In the Fall, students from CILA. the Non-Violence Program, and other on campus encouraged the development of a coalition to l'Oordinate all of the efforts of persons concerned about world hunger. The campus ministry team agreed to let Mrs. Mary Ann Hot•mt•r work out of their office as acting director of the Coalition during the fall semester. It was through her efforts as a catalyst that the November 26th Rice and Tea supper and the excellent sermon by £<'ather Hesburgh during the late evening celebration of !\lass were shared with the ND-SMC campus. Unfortunately, there W<'re "communication-gaps" before this event and many students didn't receive the pre-Thanksgiving Observer which had com­prehensive reflections on the hunger issue. Also, the following rPsults of the Hice and Tea meal were never communicated to the studPnts: 2018 signed the pledge, 735 of these participated.

During the Christmas vacation, Father Hesburgh appeared on many national television programs concerning the problem of world hunger and cited some of the work done at the University. llowPver. he realized that many of us here on campus had not been informPd about the critical situation of the hunger crisis and that the Coalition was in its beginning stages.

We were fortunate to have Father Frank Gartland C. S. C. take over the directorship of the Hunger Coalition at the beginning of the second semester. By this time many other students had joined in the t•ffort of the Coalition (approximately 30). Immediate attention was given to the Anti-Hunger Day on FPbruary 2 in the ACC. Students were asked to participate in the Rice and Tea meal after this Pvent and there were more "communication gaps" concerning the financial implications of their decisions. "Gaps" continued in the conversations between the Coalition and the Observer before and after the event. All of you were unable to learn the following statistics concerning the Rice and Tea meal on February 2: 2707 signed the pledge, of these 1505 signed in at the food lines, 641 ac­tually ate the meal with 439 who did not sign the pledge. Ap­proximately $4000 was received for the two Hice and Tea meals.

During FPbruary, the Coalition prepared an exploratory questionnaire concerning alternate diets for students during the n•st of the year. This was distributed through the community s<'r\'icP directors in the Halls and approximately 30 per cent of the studt•nts n•sponded 1 ranging from n per cent Zahm and 14 per cent Alumni to 71 per cent Stanford, 57 per cent Holy Cross; 53 percent Badin I. Comments on the returned questionnaires indicated a l'Ontinuing "communication gap" concerning the long term and short tPrm action goals of the Coalition.

\\'illiam Sloan Coffin from Yale University was with us on Fdmtary 26th at the invitation of thP Coalition. Coverage in the f lhst•rwr of his afternoon talks and t•vening sermon was very good. llowPver. many more students and faculty could have benefited from his perspective with arl\·am·pd articles and publicity (e.g. rPalizing how much more is being done at Yale and "Secular" l 'nivt>rsities with fasting. etc. than at N.D.-S.M.C. ).

Fr. (;artland and members of the Coalition have now developed a nPw I'LEI>GK Those of you on campus will be asked to express ~·ou willingness to fast from 6 suppers on Wednesdays and, or to abstain from m(•at 12 suppers !Tuesdays and I<'ridays). There will be an article in the OhsPrn•r tomorrow to darify the PLEDGE. It is my hope that those who pledge will follow through with their eommitment. since the communications will be improved.

National Food Day will be on April 17 this year. In November, more than :lOO colleges participated in a Fast. I hope that ND-SMC will join an Pven larger number of campuses this Spring. I ap­preciate the fact that the Coalition wanted to provide opportunities for more than a rla~· fast during Lent or only on Food Day. The pledge will allow us to build up to the event and follow through in a more eomprehensive way. Dick Gregory's visit on April 26th is now being planned by student task group of the Coalition to com­plete their activities this school year.

1 am t>ncouraged by recent conversations with Ed Byrne, Tom Drape and Terry Keeney that the "communication gaps" related to the Coalition are being overcome (from both sides). I look forward to participating in a small way with many of you in our short term and long term responses to a painful Spring for millions of our brothers and sisters.

Dracula lecture to be presented by Hob Mader Staff Rl'porter

Imagine a great war hero. praised by his subjects for his valor, who was at the same time such a master of fiendish cruelty that he once made a virtual forest out of 20,000 impaled Turks.

This is the real Count Dracula who will be thetopicof the lecture to be given at 8:00 pm tonight in Washington Hall by Boston College History professor Radu Floresco.

Evidence gathered be Dr. Floresco. himself of Romanian ongm. and a colleague,

Professor Raymond McNally, shows that the legendary Dracula is mostlv a creation ofBram Stoker and Beia Lugosi.

The two scholars tracked the vampire legend through Romania three separate times before fin­ding Dracula's castle in the mountains of Wallachia in 1969, surrounded by dense forests and

standing at the top of a 300 foot precipice.

The name Dracula means "son of the Devil" and is derived from his father's name, Dracul, which is the modern Romanian word for the [)(•vii. His refinement of torture was centered around the use of a stake consequently giving him the title in his own day of "Vlad the Impaler".

Dracula's reputation has spread across several countries where he founded other castles and churches besides the fortress of Bucharest. liP is also the first Romanian ruler of whom a contemporary painting (•xists. Despite the rich vampire lore that exists even today in Homania, his name and identity as a vampire are entirely unknown in Homania.

According to Slavic lore, the prince was killed near Bucharest while fighting the Turks. In the

best tradition of the Dracula legend, his body was missing when his crypt was exhumed in 1931.

Professor Floresco is a direct descendent of an ancient Romanian family that witnessed Dracula's horrors and there is said to be a curse on the Floresco family promised by by Dracula himself. Floresco did his un­dergraduate and masters work at Oxford University and received his Ph.D. in history from the llniversity of Indiana.

His research on Dracula and other £<:astern European subjects has been aided by awards, grants, and fellowships, which include the Ford Foundation, Fulbright Faculty fellowship, the American

I'hilosophical Society, the llniversitv of Bucharest. the t\ m Prican· Council of Learned Societies, and Oxford's Gladstone Historical Prize.

PROFESSOR RADU Floreseu, expert on the topic of Romanian Vampire legends will speak at Notre Dame tonight at S:p.m. in Washington Hall.

Ready this spring

Grace Hall to house own television station b,y Paul Waller Starr Ht>porter

Grace Hall is in the process of setting up its own television station and hopes to get it started by spring break according to Steve <;oett, Grace's director of com-

munications. Because Grace is a steel

structure, good television reception is already made possible with a large antenna on the roof and a cable system which ties into Pach room. The TV signal is now channelled from the roof to a

distribution center in the basement and then to the rooms.

The plan calls for the distribution center to be expanded so that Grace students will be able to tape their own shows as well as record and replay outside tt>levision programs.

The requirement for candidates to run on a ticket, said Kearney, was not enforeced in the past two vears because the structure of student government was not the same. Instead of a president­vice-president organization, four commissioners were elected to office, she said.

By requiring a ticket, the election commissioner stated that a ''cohesive government,' should result.

At present, Kearney continued, only one ticket has been nominated.

A career seminar for economics majors exploring the different l'areer .areas available will be presented by Omicron Delta ~:<:psilon, the economics honors fraternity. according to president Bill Sohn. The seminar will be held at the Architecture Auditorium from 8 to 10 p.m. on Wednesday, March 12.

Dean Robert Waddick, of the College of Arts and Letters, will speak about law school; Dr. Hobert Skursky, director of

Graduate Studies of the Notre Dame Economics Department will comment on graduate school in Pconomics; Mr.Richard Willemin, director of the Placement Bureau will talk about employment with a bachelor's degree; and Dean John Malone, of the Notre Dame M.B.A. school will speak on holding a graduate degree in business.

All economics majors and any freshmen or sophomore interested in economics are invited to attend.

The positions are open to any student who has attained a status of a second semester sophomore. Transfer students must have completed two semesters at St. Mary's in order to run. No previous student government experience is necessary, Kearney noted.

Each ticket must submit their platform by 8 a.m. tomorrow.

~:<:tections will be held next Tuesday, March 18 in LeMans lobby between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.

Tirne.magazine reportsCIA tied to Caribbean assasination plots

NEW YORK IUPI>- Time Magazine, reported Sunday it has been told by "credible sources" that the CIA was "involved in assassination plots" against Caribbean leaders Fidel Castro, Rafael Trujillo, and Francois Papa Doc Duvallier.

The magazine said its "sources contend that the CIA enlisted the expert hired-gun help of U.S. Mafia figures in several unsuccessful attempts to kill Cuban premier

Sadat confers with top aides

on peace talks B~· l'nited Press International Egyptian President Anwar

Sadat Sunday began a series of l'Onsultations with top political and militarv aides as well as m·wspaper editors on the latest peace talks with Secretary of State llenry A. Kissinger.

~:<:gyptian government sources said Sadat met Gen. Mo­hamed Gamassy. the war minister and commander-in­··hief of the armed forces, and I.!. Gen. Hosni Mobarak, l'ommander of the air force, . soon after Kissinger left Aswan for Svria and Israel.

Sadat later conferred with Ahmed Baha Eddin, editor of the newspaper AI Ahram, and lhsan Abdel Koddous, a re- · spected columnist and novelist.

The consultations gave rise to speculation in diplomatic cir­cles that Sadat was optimistic about Kissinger's chances in getting agreement on a second­stage Israeli troop withdrawal in the Sinai.

They recalled that Sadat consulted with political and military leaders and briefed newspaper editors in January, 1974, when Kissinger succeeded in mediating the first Egyptian­Israeli disengagement accord.

Kissinger is expected to return to Aswan late Tuesday or early Wednesday.

Castro both before and shortly after the CIA-plannned Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961."

It said the sources claimed the CIA had enlisted the help of un­derworld figures Sam Giancana and John Roselli in efforts to kill Castro by poison, shooting, or bombs. It said the FBI later learned of these attempts while investigating a burglary of comedian Dan Rowan's hotel room in Las Vegas; it said the FBI learned "the arrested prowlers had been assigned by the CIA as a favor to Giancana, who sought information to break up a budding romance between Rowan and Giancana 's girl friend, Phyllis 1\Jl'Guire."

The magazine said its sources claimed the CIA "backed the successful drive to overthrow"

Trujillo. whose 38 years as Dictator of the Dominician Republic t•nded with his shooting death in May 1961. The sources said the CIA thought Trujillo was "getting too friendly with the Communists" and so "nobody wanted another Cuba in the Dominican republic." It said, "Several sources insist that some of the guns used in the killing. apparently fast-firing M-1 car­bines, were smuggled into the caribbean island by CIA operatives.

It said the CIA "collaborated with Haiti leaders of a group of at least 200 rebels" who tried un­successfully to overthrow·

Duvallier. dictator of Haiti, in 1963. It said the group of rebels was stopped at the Dominican order when they tried to invade Haiti.

Present plans call for the taping of such things as review sessions in ehemistry and other large coPrses. instructions in car maintenance and hopefully the platforms of the candidates in the upcoming hall elections.

The hall currently has about $500 which will be used for the work necessary for patching into the present system. In addition, the llniversity has promised to loan them the other l'quipment until the t•nd of the year.

At that time they will evaluate the system and try to obtain fund­

ing for next year's operations. (;oett said that this could run anywhere from $1500 to $5000.

Grace has organized a com­munications commission, of which

(;oett is the director. Hugh Sonk has been named program director and he will handle the creative side of the station's oper'ltion. The director of technical assistance who will be in charge of the l'quipment's operation, has not yet been named.

St•veral hours of programming will be offered each week probably beginning at about eleven in the t•vening. According to Goett, "Each hour of operation will rt>quire about four to five hours of behind the scenes preparation."

WSND-FM to begin fund-raising project Su.m1nerfund '75

by .John Kenwood Starr Reporter

WSND-FM <88.9) will hold its fourth annual money-ra1smg eampaign, Summerfund'75,

March 9-16 in order to collect funds to continue operation during the summer.

Summerfund'75 will consist entirely of phoned-in contributions.

"We don't run commercials due to our status as a fine-arts station," promotional director for WSND Mike Progar said , "and if we are to continue during the summer and thus retain our license, we need the financial support of our listeners."

Progar explained that the Federal Communications Com­mission might not renew WSND'S license to run a wide-ranged station if they did not run a twelve months a year schedule. during the entire year", he con­tinued "WSND handles ex-

elusively for the area the 1\letropolitan Opera and the Boston S~·mphony Orchestra. If we only reach twenty people with our programs, then we serve those twenty."

I 'rogar added that the range radius of the station is about 50 miles with a potential audience of betw{•en a quarter and a half million people.

"Our primary goal is to provide a needed service to the greater South Hend community," Progar stated. "But if our license is not rt'nl'Wl'd. then we will be forced to go down to ten watts from our prt>sent :!500 and thus not be able to serve the people who enjoy our music." he added.

\\'hen asked about the expected results of Summerfund '75, Progar rl'plied that "Like last year, we will be able to continue broad­l'asting during the summer with the help of our listeners--but only with their help."

House may pocket oil import veto WASHINGTON <UPil - The

House may pocket a presiden­tial veto this week while the Senate, shaking itself out of a long filibuster battle, faces up to the tax cut issue.

The House scheduled action Tuesday on President Ford's veto of a congressional meas­ure imposing a 90-day delay on his increases in oil import taxes. Ford offered a compro­mise to undercut the chances of a two-thirds majority in each house voting to override the veto. but House Democrats were working on a more subtle strategy.

Instead of voting to sustain or

To ease inflation

override the veto, Chairman AI llllman of the Ways and Means Committee plans a motion to refer the measure to his committee to be held for 60 days.

The aim of the maneuver is to ensure that Ford will keep his promises -to delay for 60 days two of the three-step increases in the import taxes and to delay for 30 days his intention to lift controls on the price of "old oil."

If Ford breaks the promises, it is reasoned, the House can bring the veto override to an immediate vote. House Demo-

~

crats have no doubts they would easily muster the two­thirds necessary. The issue is closer in the Senate, however, and since two-thirds of each house is necessary to override, it was considered wiser to delay the vote and use it to Congress' advantage.

House Republicans, charging that to sidetrack the veto into Ways and Means would be like holding a sword of Damocles over the President, insisted on a vote now or a promise never to vote on the override.

The Senate, willing to go along with the delaying tactics

McGovern details program \\'ASIIINGTON <UPI>- Sen.

(;eorge S. McGovern, D.-S.-D, outlined Sunday an eight-point program, highlighted by wage­price freezes, for easing the problems of inflation, unem­ployment and the energy shortage.

McGovern said in a speech

prepared for delivery at the University of Alabama and released through his Washington office that none of the various programs offered his Democratic colleagues in Congress "meet the structural deficiencies reponsible for the Pconomic crisis that con-

fronts us." To tackle the problems, he said,

the nation must institute "some public service employment combined with price, wage and interest controls."

Escapism seen for migration

as motive to Florida

If adopted, McGovern said, his plan would "curb inflation and unemployment, puts us on the road to a solution of the energy crisis, reduce military waste, provide a more just tax structure and offer the nation improved public ser­vices."

In addition to a "short-term, across-the-board freeze on prices, profits, interest and wages, followed by the long-term selective controls," McGovern said he also would require public investment in energy development, trans-

of the House on the veto measure and with its own lengthy and acrimonious debate over a change in the filiuster rule finally out of the way, faced the question of when, where and by how much to cut taxes.

The House already has voted to give a rebate to low-income taxpayers this year and reduce taxes next year.

The Senate Finance Commit­tee not only has the House bill but a variety of taxing alternatives from within its own majority party to consider.

Once out of committee, the tax bill faces a fight on the Senate floor over the issue of Pnding the oil depletion al­lowance. The House attached to the tax bill an amendment closing depletion loophole for oil companies but a powerful Senate block was prepared to fight to keep it open.

In an effort to reach a compromise on the depletion issue which could threaten the politically desirable tax cut, Sens. Edward M. Kennedy, D­Mass., and Ernest F. Hollings, D-S.C., plan to offer an amendment ending depletions on foreign produced oil and providing a five-year phase out period for the allowance for

small domestic companies. Senate Democratic Leader

Mike Mansfield noted that "we are in difficulty with the House that passed the depletion allowance overwhelmingly." Since the two measures are unlikely to be very similar, a conference of members of both sides will have to be held to work out a compromise.

Thus, a tax-cut bill was thought unlikely to be ready for Ford's signature before mid­April, although Sen. Hubert Humphrey, 0-Minn., chairman of the Joint Economic Commit­tee. said in a television interview he thought it would be enacted before a scheduled Easter recess March 21.

ln the House, an emergency $5.9 billion bill to provide !!00,000 jobs in the midst of high unemployment is due for action Wednesday; the House Appro­priations Committee scheduled action Monday on a huge foreign aid bill that has nothing in it for Cambodia and Vietnam even though Ford has appealed for emergency aid for both; and Central Intelligence Agency Director Wiliam Colby returns Monday for more House hear­ings on allegations the agency illegally carried out domestic spying activities.

In their bid for a national title, the Notre Dame fencing team swept the men's division of the Great Lakes Championship over the .weekend, upsetting heavily favored Wayne State here, 177-166.

Notre Dame had earlier in the year defeated the Tartars, 15-12, but in the Great Lakes, it was felt that Wayne State would be at the advantage, because only two fencers are used at each weapon, instead of the usual nine.

Avenging an earlier loss to Pangborn, Off-Campus III forced a deciding game in their series with a 52-42 win. on Tuesday night. Off­Campus played a tough zone defense that obviously rattled the Pangborn squad.

Pangborn's back court was gutlty of numerous turnovers and at the same time was unable to contain Allocco, who finished with 19 points. Bruno added 13 points.

Frank Allocco scored 18 of his team's first 22 points, and finished with 29 as Off-Campus won the South Quad title. Off-Campus trailed Pangborn by three points with only four minutes to play when Bedford Bruno exploded on the boards and hit a quick six points leading a surge that gave Off-Campus the win.

Off-Campus III will now meet Keenan I in a three game series to determine the Interhall Basketball Championship.
