1 Nixon sends troops to post office (United Press International) President Nixon, declaring a state of national emergency, yes terday ordered 2,500 servicemen to help deliver mail in New York City and promised to send troops to other cities unless the mailmen end their wildcat strike. Eleven hundred Army troops at Ft. Dix, N.J., immediately started for New York by bus but one postal union official said it would take nine months for the GIs to learn the job. Nixon authorized Defense Secretary Melvin R. Laird to call into active service for an indefi nite period “any or all units of the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard” necess ary to restore normal mail deli veries. In South Bend, the mail ser vice continued as usual except that delivery to embargoed areas have been held. Among areas completely embargoed are the entire New York City metro politan area, most of New Jer sey, all of Connecticut; and parts of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wis consin, Minnesota, and Illinois. All 2nd, 3rd and 4th class matter was under embargo for the Chicago area, but Post Mas ter Granville Ziegler, in an article in the South Bend Tribune, said that first class mail was not being affected. But the 2,500 men ordered to New York late Monday after noon were regulars from Ft. Dix, McGuire Air Force Base, N.J., and Marines and na val person nel from various areas in the New York area. They were un armed, but dressed in working fatigues. Nixon issued the proclama tion declaring the national emer gency and the executive order authorizing the call up of guards men simultaneously with a seven minute radio-television broad cast to the Nation on his action to deal with the postal strike. About 168,000 postal work ers, most of them in New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago, stay ed off the job yesterday in the walkout over wage interests. The strike, opposed by union leaders, began Wednesday in New York and quickly spread to other ma jor metropolitan areas. Nixon urged the strikers to return to work, but union lead ers said the advent of troops in the city would only stiffen the resolve of the National Associa tion of Mail Carriers and sym pathy strikers to remain off the job until wage demands were met by negotiation. At issue, the President said in ordering the troops in, “is the survival of a government based on law. Essential services must be maintained.” New York, said Nixon, “is where the currently illegal stop pages began. It is where the mail has been halted the longest, and it is where the resultant prob lems have become the most a- cute. “If the postmaster general deems it necessary to act in other major cities, I will not hesitate to act...” Senate Republican leader Hugh Scott, briefing reporters following a White House meeting of congressional leaders on the strike, said Congress would not act to raise postal wages until the wildcat strike is ended. “Congress is not going to act under compulsion,” he said. Although Scott insisted Con gress would take no action as long as the walkout continued, House Democratic leader Carl Albert said he would talk with Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield to see if Congres; could speed a postal pay bill to the White House. Both he and (Continued on page 7) THE OBSERVER VOL. IV. No. 101 Serving the Notre Dame and Saint Man’'a College Community TUESDAY, MARCH 24. 1970 SLC passes proposal favoring Ombudsman by Bill Carter The Student Life Council last night passed a proposal calling for the council to advocate the establishment of an official posi tion of University Ombudsman. The council agreed to recom mend the formation of such an office to the Faculty Senate and College Councils, and to work with those bodies in determining the details for the method of selection and specific duties of the position. The Council also discussed the proposed changes in the body’s by-laws and successfully amend ed and passed the first section of the new document before the adjournment time. The remain der of the changes will be taken up at the first meeting after the Easter vacation. At the outset of the meeting, Chairman James Massey intro duced three new members to the council. Joseph J. Weisenstein was added as a representative of the law students, and Stanley Liberty and Richard Humbrecht were seated as representing the graduate students. All three will have speaking privileges but will not have a vote on the council. Before beginning the official agenda. Administration represen tative Philip Faccenda, Special Assistant to the President, was asked to report on the proceed ings of the recently concluded Board of Trustees meeting in Key Biscayne, Florida. Faccenda said the Trustees had discussed the student life proposals and report of the council and had set up a committee to draft a state ment for presentation to the council. He said the statement will be ready for the April 6 meeting of the council. The Ombudsman proposal was co-sponsored by Phil Mc Kenna and Prof. John Houck. Both expressed the idea that there was a need for some sort of service on campus to which students and faculty alike could appeal and expect some kind of action while avoiding the mass of red tape that usually accom panies any sort of formal com plaint. McKenna cited the suc cessful use of an office of Om budsman on over 40 campuses around the country including Michigan State, Chicago Univer sity, SUNY at Stonybrook and Berkeley. “We feel there is a need for this office to serve every mem ber of the Notre Dame commun ity,” Houck said in presenting the rationale for the proposal. “ We can’t establish the office ourselves but we would like to see the council go on record as encouraging other bodies on campus to debate the issue and examine the possibilities of such a proposal and its difficulties.” In outlining some of the possi ble functions of the office, McKenna noted complaints aris ing out of questionable grades in a course, disputes over schedul ing of courses, and a system of examining some of t*he reasons behind student cheating instead of mere disciplinary action. He also mentioned the possibility of turning the academic problems over to an Academic Grievances Committee as a means toward eliminating some of the work to be done by the Ombudsman, because most of his work would entail non-academic problems, such as those closely involved with student life in general. The proposal was unanimous ly passed. The remainder of the meeting centered upon the report of the By-Laws Committee with their three page revision of the Coun c i l ’s by-laws. The committee, which included Mr. Faccenda and Prof. Charles Allen, was headed by student representative Guy De Sapio. De Sapio in speaking for the document, pointed out the major changes in the old system of the council’s structure. Most of the significant changes focused on questions of membership and the tri-partite nature of the council. The com mittee advocated a regulation calling for a 2/3 presence of the entire membership as constitut ing a quorum rather than a necessary number from each of the representative groups. It also (Continued on page 2) Phillip Faccenda, Special Assistant to the President, told the SLC yesterday that the Board of Trus tees had reached a decision on its parietal hours proposal, ine Board will present its decision to the SLC on April 6.

St. ‘An by Ann Conway Mary’s Staff i mpossible Students: situation’ St. Mary’s staff students are currently engaged in a dispute with the administration over the terms of new contracts pre sented to the students recently. This contract represents the first written contract for the program which has been in existence for the past 40 years. In an interview Friday even ing, two staff student representa tives, Chris Wedryk and Sue Span os, contended that the new contract jeopardized the staff students’ academic life at SMC. They claimed it was also in direct contradiction to a promise by Msgr. John J. McGrath, SMC president, at a staff students’ meeting before Christmas. According to Miss Wedryk, “ Father McGrath announced that the staff program would be discontinued and assured us that there would be no changes in our present program. When we talked to him at our last meeting and reminded him of his promise, he said that the new contract was a correction of an abuse, not a change in the pro gram. Although the staff program is being gradually phased out at SMC, the new contract affect approximately 32 students. Under the new contract these students would be allowed to continue in their respective pro grams (ranging from a 30 to a 15 hour work week), but would be subjected to new policies. One of the contract changes would deny staff students the right to count time spent eating their meals during their working periods as earning time. Under the new contract, a girl would lose 5 to 6 hours of pay a week. “It would be impossible,” ac cording to Miss Wedryk, “for a girl to take a class load of 12 hours a semester (minimum load to be officially designated as a student) and work for this addi tional period.” “This action would increase the number of years it would take for a staff student to fulfill academic re quirements to at least 5 years,” claimed Miss Span os. Another provision of the new contract deals with lime lost due to sickness or failure to report to work. In the new contract stu dents would not be compensated for this time. Under the present program, if a girl is sick the nurse reports her ill and the girl gets earning credit. Staff stu dents fear that changes in this policy might endanger the health of other students. If staff stu dents fearing loss of earning time would report for work sick and possibly contaminate the food or infect other students. Selection of student super visors by the t^ood Service Direc tor has also come under attack by the Staff Students. They feel that the administration is taking away their right to be student- supervised by those that they elect. Under the present verbal contract, these staff officers are in charge of meals and super vision of the girls’ activities. Although the staff students originally requested a written contract because “ We wanted something in writing to avoid a misinterpretation of our jobs,” the administration-written con (Continued on page 2)

m et last night to elect three presidents to sit on the C on s t i tu ­tional Revision C om m it tee for S t u d e n t G overnm ent . They chose Phil Defliese, P lanner Hall President, Mike Lindburg of Breen-Phillips and T om Suddes, President o f Holy Cross and Chairm an o f the HPC to the com m it tee .

Next the presidents came to an agreem ent regarding room as­signments for the departing resi­den ts o f Carroll Hall. They agreed to give room selection priority to the present Carroll residents only af ter all resident u n d e r g r a d u a te s have chosen their rooms in the respective halls, bu t before the university- wide room picks conduc ted by the Office o f S tu den t Accounts.

T h e g ro t ip a l s o agreed however, tha t , at the discretion of the individual halls, seniors to be from Carroll could receive considera t ion before hall resi­den ts o f youn ger classes. Thus some halls might decide tha t a Senior to be from Carroll Hall cou ld pick after the seniors o f the hall bu t before the o the r classes.

In addit ion to this, Rev. Edgar Whelan, Director o f S tuden t Residence, n o ted tha t “ the uni­versity will be 2 0 0 - 3 0 0 beds shor t nex t fall and this will allow juniors and seniors to be to seek off-campus housing with writ ten

parenta l con sen t .”However, this estim ate came

only from the figures compiled by the hall presidents and is not necessarily final. I f there is a greater shortage, provision may be made to allow S ophom ores to be to move off campus.

It was also decided th a t s tu ­d en ts re turning from s tudy ab road will be given the same priority as Carroll Hall residents .

Following this, the group dis­cussed hall security problems re­lating to the Alumni Hall inci­den t last weekend. They also decided to take steps to s top to w n children who have been looting room s and taking charity dona tion containers.

Jo h n B arkett , Morrissey Hall president, was nam ed to head the group which is to draw up the rationale for Hall Life to be presen ted to the S tuden t Life Council .

C oncluding the meeting was a brief w ord o f thanks from Tony

first period. At the end o f the third period, the investor with the greatest gain for all three periods will receive a round trip ticket to New Y ork City. The prizes were dona ted by the T h o m p s o n a n d M c K in n o n Brokerage firm in South Bend, Moser said.

Nagle said he used a very am ateu r analysis in choosing his stocks. He said he looked at past records and trends and consulted a few sources. Raley said he played some hunches. He had been watching tw o stocks and knew tha t they were dow n. He bought in and when the stocks reached their evening o ff point he sold the stock for a nice 11.9% gain.

Organizer, Larry Moser, said th a t the purpose of the Mock

Stock Market was to “ educate people to the flows o f the stock m ark e t .”

“ T h ere is a vacuum of knowledge on cam pus ab ou t the s tock m arket. Most s tu len ts after g raduat ion get a litt le m oney and do not know ho w to invest i t . ” Moser said tha t he hoped the con tes tan ts would “ learn what f l u c t u a t e s the s to c k s” by watching them closely.

Moser m en tioned th a t public a tt i tu des may affect the market. Pollution contro l stocks are rising now, for example. I f a nude girl were to walk down W all S t r e e t , people would probably s tart selling stocks like mad because the morals o f the nation were degrading, Moser said. Similarly, a peace move could have a positive effect

while F ra n c e ’s dealua tion o f the franc might have a negative effect.

T here are tw o ways o f making m oney with the s tock m arke t, according to Moser. One way is to do som e lo n g - t e r m buying and wait fo r the stocks to nse before selling. The o th e r is to sell short. Selling shor t is if one knows a s tock is falling, one can sell it and then buy in again when the price has gone down. E ith e r way one makes money.

Even though the university refused to give the s tuden ts use of their 1 107 com p u te r , the w h o l e s y s t e m h a s b e e n com puter ized . Moser explained tha t the Bendix co rpora tion has dona ted over $900 w orth of c o m p u te r tim e to the Mock S tock Market.

The S ta ff Student Program at St. M ary’s is a unique program w hich has been in ex isten ce for the past forty years. It has operated during this tim e on a verbal agreem ent betw een the co llege and the student allow ing the stu d en t to work her way through school w ith no financial hangover w hen the student graduated.

The new contract w hich the college has presented for the stu d en t’s signature is in Msgr. M cGrath’s terms “ a correction o f an abuse,” and in the eyes o f the S taff Students a “ correction o f one abuse w ith a larger abuse.”

While we agree that the S ta ff Program is too expensive to be con tin u ed , and should be gradually phased ou t, we also agree with the stu d en ts’ ob jections to parts o f the proposed contract to be used in the interim .

The first student con ten tion that the proposed contract jeopardizes the stu d en t’s academ ic life appears valid both for the student and the college. By cutting dow n the num ber o f hours the student is able to carry, the sta ff student m ust stay at St. M ary’s longer, causing a financial burden on the academ ic life o f the s ta ff student, and thus exten d financial burden on the college.

S econ d ly , the question o f n ot allow ing students to include sick tim e in their earning tim e appears to us a danger rather than a correction o f an abuse. It creates an op p ortu n ity for students w orking on s ta ff w ho fear loss o f earning tim e to com e to work and cause possible con­tam ination o f food and possib le in fection o f fe llow students.

Finally the co llege’s dem and that the students no longer elect their ow n student supervisors seem s unreasonable and o f no useful purpose. It w ould seem that i f a student supervisor is necessary, then it should be som eon e w hom the s ta ff students w ould respect, could work w ith , and w h o is in the same situation . Therefore the m ost equitable situation w ould be for the girls to elect their own supervisor, rather than som eon e appointed by the Food Service D irector.

T herefore we feel that the com plaints o f the S ta ff Students at St. Mary’s are valid ones w orth considering. The contract as it is proposed contains no jo b descriptions, and seem s an am biguous attem pt on the part o f the adm inistration to control a situation w hich has ex isted for the past forty years.

LettersRational attitude

Editor:Last Saturday I a t tend ed the

lecture of Mr. K unstler prepared to be shocked and dismayed at some of the revelations and a t t i ­tudes tha t he b rought fo r th . To m y edif ication , however, Mr. K unstler show ed him self to be a reasonable m an, sincerely c o n ­cerned with the fu ture of our co un try . Nevertheless, 1 did come away shocked and dis­may ed —at many o f ou r Notre Dame students .

In part icular, I am speaking of th a t po in t in the lecture in which Mr K unstler prophesied to w hat dire resorts the people will be driven to if the judicial and legislative bodies con tinue to be as unresponsive to the needs of the nation as they now seem to be. As he described the grim procession from picketing the cour th ou se to finally burning it dow n , I looked up in disbelief to see many clapping and shouting their a p p ro v a l - lo u d e r with each succeeding step. R ather than shuddering at the though t that such means should ever become necessary and wondering how th a t might be avoided, a good p ort ion o f the audience was voicing loud enthusiasm for the violence being described.

Can this be called a rational a t t i tu d e? I agree tha t there is a need for change and I see that violence may become a neces­sary evil in ob tain ing it. But neer will I s tand up and cheer the nam e o f violence. Even Mr. K unstler felt tha t the day when courthouses must be burned to the ground has no t arrived and need no t necessarily. But if the a t t i tu d e th a t I sensed last Sat­urday is prevalent am ong even ou r college s tuden ts (and I pray tha t I am mistaken), then tha t day is much closer than y ou th ink , Mr. Kunstler!

LapsesEditor,

On Sa turday , I w ent o u t on the S tepan C enter Field to w atch ou r Lacrosse team play against the Cincinnati Lacrosse Club. Most o f the spectators w ent away with a good feeling, as N.D. w on in overtime. For those of us who had to go by way o f the east side o f the field, however, ano th e r exam ple o f the “ N otre Dame Man” ru ined the victory. A n u m b er o f “ ND Men” and their young ladies were treating the fans to a great show

of th a t favorite ND pastime, ir responsibility. Beer bott les (at least 24, to my co u n t) with cartons, o f course, were neatly sca t tered all over the sidelines. When asked to pick up their tidy mess, the ND Men gallantly said “ Do it yourselves!”

Inform ing the security guard o f the inc iden t, we were told “ We’ll do som eth ing ab ou t i t . ” The security guards now have the license plate num bers o f the ND Men. What will happen to the trash remains to be seen. Sunday a f te rn oo n , it was still there , making N o tre Dame even a more beautifu l place to be.

IrresponsibilityEditor:

In the February 2nd issue of The Observer, u nder the byline o f T om H a m p to n , there appears this s ta tem en t: “ . . . in WW1 the penalty for conscientious objec­tion was d e a th .”

Are y o u sure? I am n o t . I was around then and I c an ’t believe I would no t have been sensitive to such ex trem e measures, espec­ially since I once was assigned to interview a conscientious objec­to r for the military. I was impressed by the consistency with which he represen ted his scruples and a ttested his sincer­ity to pert inen t au thor i ty .

I am certain tha t my recall of this incident w ould be much m ore vivid i f his life had been in jeop a rd y . If The O bserver is co r­rectly in form ed, then I am guilty of a shocking lapse of m em ory.

I w o n ’t presume to suggest the degree of editorial ir respon­sibility if Mr. H a m p to n ’s asser­tion is false.

i i A Servant of Two Masters;” great fun

Trotters appear after record year

by David Allen Edm ondsThe Fem inine Liberation Movement

jus t got a big sho t in the arm from the unlikely source of a six teen th-cen tury Italian playwright. Carlo G o ld o n i’s The Servant o f Tw o Masters explored this pheno m en on and o ther hunierous areas o f curren t interest in last w eekend’s rem arkable p roduction by the ND-SMC Theatre.

G o ld on i’s work is the typical contrived com edy. The plot is terrifically im pro ­bable, full of complications and sub-plots , and mistaken identit ies. But it is also very easy for the audience to predict what will happen nex t: boy and girl are in love, a crisis separates them, th e y ’re reconciled and everybody gets married. You have seen all these things happen before, but for the same reason they are still funny.

The reason tha t it is still funn y , and extremely funny , is tha t the Director, Miss Karen Huber, perfectly unders tood the m ood o f the play, and directed it to fu r ther tha t m ood. It is a com edy full of m otion , in teresting characters and in te r­woven actions. Her cast is always moving, always acting and reacting. Gaps or pauses in the script have been filled with takes, glances, asides and sight gags. Even the stage hands have personalities that are carried ou t whenever they appeared on stage. The au th o r has w rit ten a play that wanders all about bu t reaches a conc lu ­sion tha t leaves no loose ends. Miss H uber’s p roduc t ion follows that same idea in tha t it never lets u p - t h e action is con tinuous from beginning to end. Her

characters are alive and energetic.The produc t ion began with a p a n to ­

mime set to music tha t , if watched closely, revealed the major actions o f the play. This was extremely effective, for it set the tone of the play as light and happ y , and function , as it ended in a freeze with the opening characters in their place, ready to go. A no the r techni­que that was good because it sustained action and m ood was the sceneiy and the way it was changed. Six large tr iangular flats, called periaktois, were pain ted to make up the three scenes o f the play, each face being painted differently . When set up, they accurately po rtrayed the scene, and could be revolved to show the new scene in a m atter o f seconds. The actual changing of the scenes deserves m en tion , for in this play they related to the entire p roduc t ion , and instead of being a, necessary evil they were som e­thing to be enjoyed. The Waiters and the Porters all had specific personalities, and as the play progressed, the audience began to antic ipate their entrances, and forget the fact tha t they were performing the essential task o f changing the scenery. As a dramatic effect it w orked, for the speed of the play was no t diminished, and the level o f hu m o r was retained.

It is hard to find the adjectives necess­ary to describe Rick H o m an ’s perfo rm ­ance as the Servant T ruffald ino. It was a com bina tion of grace, energy and flawless timing tha t made it perhaps the best I ’ve seen on this campus. He was always in character, w hether delivering a line, m ak­

ing an aside to the audience, handling a p rop or turning cartwheels. His winks, takes, hand and facial m ovem ents were ju s t perfect.

It was a pleasure to watch this play, fo r the rest of the cast was superb. They used their hands and voices well, and generally stayed in character. The main po in t h ow ­ever is tha t everyone enjoyed being in the play. The actors were having an infectous kind o f fun th a t poured o n to the audience.

This is im p ortan t especially in this type of play where the lines are an tic ipated , and the audience knows what is going to happen .

Jam es Boland played Panto lone , and gave his character a voice tha t s tood in perfec t con trast to Tom Broderick’s Dr. Lombardi; their scene toge ther reminded me of a Laurel and Hardy short. Boland’s timing was especially good, and Broderick gave by far his best perform ance to date.

Nancy Bartoshesky played Clarice and was excellent. Her mincing steps and batt ing eyes completely cap tu red the essence o f the part. Her lover, Silvio, was

P atrick J. G ibbs

played by Zack Brown. Zack was good in th e part , and toge ther they posed like china figurines obnoxiously in love.

Miss Sue Maher p layed the liberating roles of Beatrice and Federigo Rasponi. It is hard for a w om an to sustain a male role bu t Miss Maher did admirably well. Her lover, F lor id ino Aretusi, was R aym ond B erndt, and I was impressed with his handling of a primarily straight character.

Pete Peterson made the m ost of a ra ther weak charac te r as Brighella, and Lois Jam ie so n ’s Smeraldina s ta r ted slowly b u t built up tow ards the end of the play.

The Servan t o f Tw o Masters ju s t might have been the best ND-SMC prod uc t io n I have seen. Everything worked because it fit so well together. The acting was chd'p and the costum es bright and colorful. Most im p o rtan t ly , however, it was fun.

There were no great, relevant points to be made, bu t the audience and cast enjoyed it. My only regret is tha t more people d id n ’t get to see it. I t ’s a shame tha t this p ro du c t ion c o u ld n ’t have been given the advance publicity th a t it de­served.

‘King’ to betonight at Wash. Hall

He was a Baptist minister.When he talked, you knew it. He was

fire and brimstone.He was a magnet tha t drew millions to

him.He started in a litt le tow n in Alabama.

And touched every corner of this white and black continen t.

He had a dream.But he was no dreamer. He moved.

Where no man had moved before.He had a courage th a t men dream

about.He had a wife. Children. He was warm.

When he smiled it was ear to ear. Like when he listened to Mahalia sing “ Je r ­icho .” If he had run for president, it would have been interesting.

But he d id n ’t want to be president. He wanted to be free.

Let my people go.I t ’s hard to measure what a man loves

most in this world. His wife, his children, his people , his God. But one suspects for King, it was his coun try .

One night in Tennessee, it ended for Martin Luther King. Everybody looked

around and said, “ When will there be an o th e r like h im ?” Perhaps never. Martin L u the r King was an original.

Today at 8 PM in 1000 theatres across the co u n try , a movie about this incred­ible man will be shown.

Tickets are $5.00, and all the m oney goes to the Martin L u ther King, Jr. Special F und for the war against poverty , illiteracy and social injustice. A ll the money. With no deductions for any kind of expenses. You pay $ 5 .0 0 - $ 5 .0 0 goes to the Fund.

This is the only time the movie will be seen theatrically. It is a film o f power, im pact, w arm th , em otion . Like the man himself. You will never forget it. Because it is som ething more than a movie. It is an experience. Since it is only for one night, y ou should act quickly in purchasing y o u r tickets at the boxoffice of a theatre near you. And join with millions of people across the cou n try to say to all the world, “ This was a m a n !”

See it at Washington Hall tonight at 8 PM.

The 4 4 th edit ion o f the fabulous Har­lem G lobe tro tte rs will present their one- of-a-kind basketball show at the Athletic and Convocation C en te r on April 11.

“ On the heels o f ou r greatest season in h is tory , we have exercised extra care p u t t ing toge ther the 1970 package,” says general manager George Gillett . “ Our team, we believe, is the best ever and enter ta iners for the pre-game and half- time shows have been selected to please every m em ber o f the fam ily .”

The huge two-in-one program, which pits the G lobe tro tte rs against the New Jersey Reds in the cage fea ture , s tarts at 8 D . m .

Affidavits obtained in Barz incidentD irector o f Security A rthur

Pears said yesterday tha t an offi­cer has ob ta in ed from the co u n ­ty p ro secu to r’s office affadavits and w arrants in con junction with Friday n igh t’s fight in A lumni Hall.

Affadavits will be filled o u t by Bill Barz and his fa ther relat­ing their version o f w hat occur­red in A lumni on Friday.

Warrants o f arrest could be issued based on th e affadavits and the iden tif ica t ion o f a possi­ble suspect or suspects, Pears said.

One person was arrested and th ree were in jured and taken to th e hospita l as a result o f the a lte rca t ion at A lumni and at the Circle early S a tu rday morning.

The s tu den t taken to St. J o ­seph ’s Hospital was Michael Jo h n son , 19, o f 1112 N. J o h n ­son St. He suffered hand cuts. The tw o non-s tuden ts taken to Memorial Hospital were Earl R ichardson , 21, o f 301 S. Chica­go S t. , released af ter trea tm en t fo r an elbow cu t, and A.D. Cross, 21, o f 1057 Laurel Ct., w ho suffered wrist injuries.

Cross was arrested by the p o ­lice on a charge o f disorderly c o n d u c t ou ts ide o f A lumni Hall, and subsequently released on $ 100 bond . He is scheduled to appear in city court on March 25.

When the y o u th s finished, Barz said he to ok the balls and w en t upstairs, and tha t some of the y o u th s stayed downstairs. A fte r Barz re tu rned the pool balls, he said he s tood in the hallway ou ts ide his ro o m with som e o f his fr iends and talked to tw o o f the youths .

Barz said th a t he considered the conversation friendly, and th a t a few minutes la te r the rest o f the group from th e basem ent came upstairs to partic ipate in th e conversation.

An Alumni resident said th a t the y o u th s had gone upstairs a f te r a N o tre Dame security guard had to ld the people from to w n th a t they could no t play poo l because o f a hall rule and asked th em to leave.

The resident had asked the security guard to go downstairs and ask the group to leave because he was “ worried about th e possibility o f t ro ub le .”

Barz claimed th a t he and one o f the group began to needle each o the r ab ou t the relative merits o f S ou th Bend and Chica­g o , Barz’s h o m eto w n . Barz claimed tha t the y o u th , then , “ sucker-punched” him in the face. Barz said tha t he felt tha t th e argum ent never becam e v- ocalb ' antagonistic and th a t the punch came as a surprise.

Barz said th a t he wrestled his assailant to the floor and was then grabbed by some friends of the y o u th . At this po in t , friends of Barz who had been standing beside him jo ined in the fight.

Barz’s tw o bro thers and his fa th e r who were in his ro om rushed o u t to help. There were approxim ate ly eight S ou th Bend y o u th s and five o thers including Barz in the fight.

Witnesses said the actual punch ing lasted for only abou t th i r ty seconds as o thers in the hall stepped in to try to s top the fracas.

According to Barz, the y ou th th a t hit him had left the im m edi­ate area. He claimed tha t he yelled for som eone to s top him.

According to Security Direc­tor Pears, the security guard on d u ty had decided when the fight b roke ou t th a t he could not stop the fracas and so called security headquarters to ask for more men.

Tw o m ore guards were sent to the scene. When they arrived, there was m uch confusion in the hall. Hall m em bers were a t te m p ­ting to keep bo th sides apart. According to witnesses one of th e security guards moved in to th e group using Mace in an a t t e m p t to quell the d is turbance.

The o th e r security guard called the St. Joseph C ounty Sheriff’s departm en t .

Director o f Security A rthur Pears was called later, bu t by the tim e he got to A lumni from his house in S ou th Bend, the sheriff’s police had already left.

Witnesses said tha t when the s h e r i f f ’s d e pa r tm en t arrived, they came in a door behind the c row d and pushed th rough the gap th a t had been established be tw een the Alumni residents and the S o u th Bend youths .

F o u r o f the sheriff’s men stayed in the gap while the

others , which witnesses said were approx im ate ly tw en ty in num ber , moved th rou gh ou t the hall to clear the hall o f n o n ­students.

One of the fou r policemen w ho remained dem anded to k no w which one o f the you ths was responsible for starting the incident. The y o u th s ob jec ted to the question.

In an a t t e m p t to clear the halls, sheriffs were walking down th e Hall asking s tud en ts to get in their room s. When they a p ­proached Ju n io r Rick Ames, standing outside S op ho m ore Lee F o r t ’s room , an a rgum ent en­sued. F o r t was inside his room. F a th e r Joseph O ’Neil, rec to r o f

The two handcuffed s tudents were taken ou ts ide and pu t in the backseat o f a police car ' F a the r Jam es Riehle, Dean o f S tud en ts , arrived a t this time. He was told a bo u t Ames and F o r t ’s arrest.

A nu m b er of organizations and in­dividuals in the United States and Europe have suggested that the m oney will be presented personally by SBR National D irector, T om H am il ton , to the Red Cross in Geneva. Hamilton po in ted o u t , however, th a t this would occur only if some gener­ous soul dona ted the round-trip t icket to Switzerland.

The National C om m it tee of the American Red Cross has invited S tuden ts for Biafran Re­lief to represent the s tud en t con­stituency in the U.S. a t the annual convention o f Red Cross­es in Chicago. The convention, which convenes on May 17th will hos t representatives from alm ost every Red Cross society in the world and will provide SBR with m uch needed publi­city. At tha t time an official p resen ta t ion of the funds raised for Nigerian relief by SBR will be made; even though the m oney will have exchanged hands long before the occasion presents itself.

The group which had its begin­nings at N otre Dame is now the

The organization is in the process of con tac ting the National S tu den t Associations o f G reat Britain, France, G erm any and Japan with hopes for large s tuden t m ovem ents in those areas.

R ecently , a long list o f new endorsers to the s tu den t organi­zation was compiled. This list inc luded am ong others, Sam Brown, the Director o f the Viet­nam National M oratorium C om ­mittee.

A plea was also issued by the group for assistant in their en ­deavors. This would entail not only financial aid bu t logistical involvement particularly with the huge am o u n t o f clerical work which is essential to the opera t ions of any in ternational movem ent. A nyone who would be able to co n tr ib u te their time (or any port ion thereof) during Easter vacation or after the holi­days was asked by Sherry to co n ta c t the Biafran Relief Office and leave their nam e and phone n u m b e r .

King film shown tonightThree campus organizations

have combined to present a special docum entary film on the life o f the late Martin Luther King, Jr . The film, King: a fi lm e d record, M ontgom ery to M em phis, will be shown tonight only at 8 PM in Washington Hall.

The profits from the film, being dis tr ibuted nationally in over 1000 theaters, and expec­ted to be viewed by over one million people, will all go to the Martin L u ther King Jr. Special Fund.

But Vice President J. Stanley Lewis o f the le t te r carriers union said, “ It would take nine months for a serviceman to be trained to be eff ic ient.”

“ I t ’s no t jus t a m a t te r of pu tt ing a sack of mail on yo u r b a c k and delivering it to houses,” said Lewis. “ It has to be routed to the right s t ree t and the right houses. You have to have a knowledge "of w ho has moved ou t and w here ,” Stanley said.

But Daniel Z. Henkin, assist­an t defense secretary for public affairs, said he unders tood the servicemen would initially be used only to sort mail and drive t r u c k s - n o t deliver it. They would work at the beginning, Henkin said, in the main Man- h a t t a n 'p o s t office, the Brooklyn Post Office, and the Church S treet Post Office.

Postm aster General Winton M. Blount said the GIs would n o t require any im m edia te intensive training and w hat instructions they do need will be provided on the job .

He added that the first objec­tive would be “ to restore essen­tial mail services,” such as m ove­m en t of welfare and social secur­ity checks, b u t es tim ated it would take “several days before meaningful services are res to red” in New York.

Metzger then ob tained free use of Washington Hall under its agreem ent with SUAC. The P r o g r a m f o r N on-V io lence signed as a co-sponsor of the event and S tuden ts Against Racism has picked up the adver­tising costs.

Metzger co m m en ted tha t “ I t ’s really amazing to see the n um ber and the varied types o f people tha t have gotten toge ther to su pp o r t this project nationally . And the same applies locally. We have drawn great response from the media in the im m edia te area and from the people here on campus. I th ink the coopera t ion needed and ob ta ined for this project is a very suitable tr ibute to Dr. King.”

Publicity for the film, Metzger said, has been in the S ou th B end Tribune, local television and radio s ta tions and was even an nounced in the pulpits and bulletins of most o f the South Bend churches.

The film, which traces the work of Dr. King from 1955 until his death in 1968, runs for 2 Vi hours and was pu t together by Landau with the aid o f TV sta tions and news media across the coun try . Many parts o f the film are rare, such as a tape o f the meeting before King’s first m om en tou s desegregation a t­tem p t in M ontgom ery, Ala., and

have never been d is tributed nationally.

The film has no com m en ta ry , b u t selected passages will be perform ed by a group of stars i n c l u d i n g H a r r y Belafonte, Charlston H eston , Burt Lan­caster, Paul Newm an, Joanne W oodward, Sidney Portier and A n tho ny Quinn.

Many of King’s own speeches, including the m em borable “ I have a dream speech” delivered at the 1963 March on Washing­ton , are inlcuded.

bv Steve LazarT om K ronk , chairman o f the

University Arts Council, yester­day described a “ new o p t im ism ” which has overtaken the UAC in its drive to convert the field- house in to a cen te r for the arts on campus.

His op tim ism , he said, is based on the “ fan tas tic” success o f the recent S tud en t Arts Festival held in the fieldhouse.

“ The s tu d en t response and interest has been so strong tha t we feel the entire University is coming alive to the arts. The N otre Dame artist is finally ge t­ting the recognition he truly deserves,” he said.

Kronk said he remains o p ti­mistic even though the UAC m ust raise 1.6 million dollars by June 1st to meet the deadline set by the University. Barring any extensions, if tha t am o u n t is no t reached, the fieldhouse will be razed.

He sta ted tha t the UAC has made at least fifty requests for funds to various foundations favorable to the arts and progres­sive educat ion , and th a t only four o f these requests have been rejected so far. He added tha t m em bers o f the UAC will be making con tac ts over Easter in o rder to gain additional funds.

K ronk explained tha t one of the difficulties in meeting the Ju ne 1st deadline is th a t many founda tions make grants only once each year, and th a t this da te o f ten falls a f te r Ju ne 1st. An extension on this deadline would possibly eliminate this p roblem , he said.

The University has been very

coopera tive in the U A C ’s drive, K ronk felt. He said tha t the adm inis tra t ion did no t fully u n ­ders tand the “ concep t o f p ro ­g re s s iv e e d u c a t io n ” tha t is behind the UAC’s ac tion , bu t as long as the m oney required could be raised there would be no problems.

He described the fu tu re arts cen te r as a place where the professional artist , the faculty m em ber and the s tud en t could com e together for the m axim um educa t ion o f the s tu den t art ist. He said it will be a place “ for the s tu d e n t ,” a place where he can com e to express himself and be criticized by his peers.

He emphasized th a t the arts cen te r will be an ideal place for artistic exper im en ta t ion . “ The s tu d en t can have a one man show here. This is the place to have a flop - if it has to be ,” he said.

Most o f the 1.6 mill ion dollars requ ired , he th ou gh t , will be spen t in refurbishing the interior o f the existing s tructure . Plans include room s for film screen­ings, music, exhibits , workshops and a distinctive thea te r in the ro u n d , he said. The am o u n t o f m o ney used on the ex ter io r and the fo unda t ions o f the building depend on the results o f a rchi­tec tura l studies, he no ted .

Kronk said tha t the nex t p u b ­lic activity o f the UAC may well be a “ Festival o f Lights and Life” to be celebrated later in the spring.

In closing, he n o ted that even if the f ieldhouse must be des­troyed the University Arts C oun­cil will still be a round next year.

Maple Leafs dominate league capture title game 8-3

by Stan Uranker

The Maple Leafs o f Captain Gerry McPartland climaxed an undefea ted season last night with an 8 - 3 shellacking o f the Red Wings. T he win gave the L eafs the Interhall Hockey cham pionship in tw o straight games.

By far the m ost solid team in the League, the Maple Leafs fielded tw o o f the best lines in the league. With McPartland, Marshall Moffat, and Mark Brek- ken on the first line, and Paul Sim mons, Bobby Lepeska, and Dan Shank on the second squad.

Last n igh t’s game was n o co n ­test f rom th e start. The Leafs d o m in a ted the first period, as a pair o f goals f rom McPartland, an d o ne by S im m ons gave them a 3 —1 lead.

McPartland clicked again early in the second period on a pass from Brekken to pick up the ha t tr ick . Paul Kimball got his sec­ond goal of the night for the Wings to narrow the margin to4 —2, b u t F en to n H ay ’s unassis­ted slap sho t ended the second stanza with the Leafs in contro l,5 - 2 .

Lepeska, displaying beautiful stick handling with three assists fo r the night, slipped one past Rich Sherm an at 13:49 o f the

final period . Brekken converted on perfect passes from Moffat and M cPartland, and Simmons added his second goal to cap the scoring.

Certainly ins trum enta l in the Leafs’ success this season has been their solid defense of Hay,

Ted Targonski, Brian Hickey, and Jerry Hill. Goalie Dave Se- cord has proven him self as one of the best in the league, and Tom Sherw ood and Mike Ban- kowski have helped with bench s trength . The Leafs finished 1 3 - 0 .

Celts out

NBA playoffs begin(UPI) - The 1969-70 Na­

t iona l Basketball Association regular season ended Sunday and the 82 game campaign marked a “ changing of the gu a rd" year.

Fo r the first time in 20 years, the Boston Celtics, rulers of pro basketball , failed to m ake the league playoffs. W ithout Bill Russell, and with the toll -of years finally making tha t extra step drag ju s t a trifle to o much, th e Celtics finished a dismal sixth in the Eastern Division, at 3 4 —48 for a .415 percentage, 26 games behind the division king­p in , New York.

But the emergence o f the Knicks at the head of the divi­sion and indeed at the to p o f the league standings with a rem ark­able 6 0 —22 for .732 may in itself be transitory . The blister­ing s tart which pu t th em beyond the reach o f all o thers faltered near the end, a lthough their ta len ted cen te r Willis Reed was chosen as the Most Valuable Player and the sm o o th machine hand-too led by fo rm er General Manager Eddie Donovan never really was in danger o f falling all the way back to th e pack.

Yet, the Milwaukee Bucks could no t be ignored, and the shadow of Lew Alcindor is al­ready falling over the dominance o f the New Yorkers.

A lcindor w ent th rough the usual rookie appren t icesh ip , but th a t apprenticeship was quickly served, and by season’s end he h ad led Milwaukee to a second place finish in the East, and the second best overall NBA record a t 5 6 —26 for .683, only four games behind the Knicks.

The Western Division p ro ­duced a cham pion in the Atlanta Hawks, w ho with th e indom i­table Lou H udson , held off the Los Angeles Lakers to win by tw o games. In the process, the A tlanta team posted a winning season series over the Knicks.

F o r Los Angeles, it was a b i t te r year, bu t one th a t showed

Jerry West at his undeniable best. With the veteran Wilt Chamberlain sidelined most of the campaign by injury , West’s shooting, passing and leadership alm ost pulled the Lakers all the way to the title.

So completely did the to p four teams dom ina te the league, th a t the drop off to Baltimore in the East was 10 games and nine games to third place co-holders Chicago and Phoenix in the West.

Playoff action begins this week with intra-division clashes be tw een first and th ird place finishers and a series between second and fo u r th place finish­ers. All series are best of seven with the division p layoff winners m eeting for the cham pionship som etim e late nex t month .

'T h e Eastern Division playoffs shape up with its first place New Y ork meeting Baltimore and se­cond place Milwaukee facing Philadelphia. The Western p lay­offs are a litt le more compli­ca ted since Chicago and Phoenix finished the regular season in a tie for th ird place. A coin toss was held yes terday , with the Bulls winning the toss and the right to meet first place A tlanta.

“ I t ’s th e best defensive club I ’ve ever played against,” St. J o h n ’s Coach Lou Carnesecca said after coaching his final col­lege game before join ing the New Y ork Nets next year. But Carnesecca was still p roud of his c lu b ’s perform ance in its fare­well because, “ th e kids d idn ’t die out th e re .”

St. J o h n ’s fell behind, 13—2 and 2 8 —12, and trailed, 3 5 —25, a t half time and 5 3 —39, with eight minu tes left in the game bu t rallied to narrow the deficit to five points, 5 4 - 4 9 , with four minutes left. A long ju m p e r by J e f f Sewell, who was the high scorer with 22 points, started M arquette rolling again.

Joe Depre was St. J o h n ’s lead­ing scorer, but he was held to five free th row s in the game fouled ou t early as Marquette held h im in check.

In th e conso la tion game A rmy com ple ted a 2 2 —6 season with a 7 5 - 6 8 victory over LSU, which was playing w itho u t injured Pete Maravich. J im Oxley paced the defense-minded Cadets with 28 points.

Maravich had a frustra ting end to his college career in the NIT as he was held to 77 po in ts in th ree games and limited to jus t 20 by b o th G eorgetow n and M arquette .

Maravich finished with 3,667 po in ts in his career bu t McGuire, o u tspoken to the end, had the last word as usual. “ I ’ll take my guy "Dean Meminger over Mara­vich up in Harlem any tim e .”

He was keeping up with a H elm ut o r a Werner or one o f those Austrian types who had been born on skis, even though he himself had ab andoned the slopes for the flatland spor ts fo r several years.

When my son h it a tree up o n the timberlines edge o f the m o u n ta in tha t w eekend, it was Bill Jenkins w ho helped tie h im in the basket and slide him dow n the m ounta in . Som eone , m aybe it was Bill, p opped the dis located shoulder back in place.

He came from a long line of people who knew w hat to do with machinery , how to survive in a wilderness, how to squ in t across a prairie or sense a Sierra blizzard. His father, M aynard, a giant o f a m an , knew every cog and cable on th a t m oun ta in . His m other , Jane, knew every gas je t or piece o f cutlery or unbussed tray in the lodge k itchen and still found time to organize a le t ter-writ ing campaign to whole regiments of lonely troops in Vietnam. She was very p roud of the son she looked too yo un g to be the m o th e r of.

Spring training was to open April 4 at Bovard Field. And Bill was ready for it. There would be one more Rose Bowl, he told me confiden tly , as he sat over a cup of ho t chocola te in the lodge and he chaffed me about my timid tum bles on the Bunny slope. This time, he promised, No. 11 w ould be at the corners for the Trojans. Maybe there would be an in te rcep ted pass, maybe a game-saving tackle. This time, there would be a national championship.

But, first there was the mid-winter carnival at June Lake. One m ore ride up the No. 1 chair , one more to rch light ski dow n the face. Bill and some buddies drove up. On S a tu rday , there was an errand to do — a simple drive dow n to the pow erhouse and back on an em pty rbad. Bill piled his young b ro th e r and a friend in to the car. As always, he was in a hurry .

He n e e d n ’t have been He had the rest of his life to make th a t trip. There was a high speed spin, a soft shoulder - and Bill Jenkins was crushed, broken and th row n 30 feet o n to a boulder . He bled to death in a hospital 30 miles away.

The Trojan football team made i t ’s first road trip o f 1970 this week, 50 of the finest football players in the land. The 51st was not on the team bus. He rode ahead in a vehicle o f his own. He was 20 years old.
