UFO IS
By GERRY CURATOLA
Unid entified Oying objects
(UF0 1s) were the subject of many
rumors circulating around campus
this week.
It all started Monday night,
5(:ptember 26, when a number of
Colgate s1udents and employees
reported see ing var ious
~henomena (i.e.~ objects, flashes,
lights, streaks) 1n the ..heavens"
about Hamilton.
Imagination s flou ris hed
resuhing in reports of a fulJ scale
"extraterrestrial invasion .··
However, many others discarded
the fact thac somethin_g was sec-n in
the fil'"$t place. Phrases like .. What
were they smokin'," or ..Lay off the
moonshine... were heard. Other
students reacted with ama.iing

Filiz Tombulogtu, a principal
witness to a UFO sighting was
walking from a friend's room in the
Cutten Complex towards East
Stillman. It was an unusually clear
night, preceded by a week of rain
and heavy clouds. There was a full
moon and many stars could be
seen.

was amazed by a strange cigar-:
shaped light that appeared to be
hovering above Lawre-noe Hall.

did many others, and attributed it
to a star, planet o r some sort of
firewor k display: but there was no
noise: possibly it was a radio
station light, she thought, but there
are none above Lawrenoe.
She continued to rule out any
other explanations she could think
of.
The UFO now appeared to be in
the ponion of the sky above
Andrews and the Coop. A st.range
light still radiated Crom the cigar·
shaped center. Fast moving clouds
would cover it periodically, though
it remained in position for about
twenty minutes before it
disappeared.
The next night, at about ten
o·cJoclc, two more UFO's were
sighted. One was seen to move
down perpendicular to the eanh
below the clouds. This appeared as
a cigar shape with liahts circlina

spotted over Hill
Michael Cooper. an employee
of Saga Food Service, was driving
back Crom Earlville on Preston
Hill at eleven o'clock. Overhead,
in the d irection of Hamilton, he
witnessed two large horizontal
s1reaks of Light across the sky.
Describing this phenomenon, he
said it was something he had never
noticed before ..like lightening but
hori:tontal and very bright." These
streaks appeared out of the
darkness and were straight,
making no descent as a falling star
does.
He has reason to believe this
could happen again with more
imagination, because as he related,
..onoc someone has a sighting,
practical jokes lend to. evolve."
On a more serious note, he d id
say that he had a strong feeling that
in the ne,a r future "'we~re due for a
rash of sightings."
This week the main purpose of
the Studen1 Senate was to elect o ne
new reprcsentitivc for each of the
campus go.,·ernance bodies. Patty
Gumpor1 was elected to the
commission on Athletic Affairs.
J im Horwiti was elected to the
commission on Admissions and
Student Aid and Rich Mendola
was elcc1ed to the Universi1y
Council.
In true Senate form, lhesc
elections fo llowed more than an
hour of politic.al debate. The is.sue
at hand this weelc, just as it has
been in previous commission
elections, was the report of the
nominating committee.
This committe recommends to
the Senate candidates whom the
majority of the five pcnon group
deem 10 be most qualified to fill
various commission posts. The
work of the commiucc has been a
traditionally explosive issue and
the feeling in the Senate is that the
role of the committee must be
redefined.
The Senate also passed two
significant resolutions at this
week's meeting. The first of these
was a constitutional amendment
which increased the number of
people on the Watchdog
Committee from four to six. This
group is responsible fo r looking
ove.r the books of Student
Associa1ion funded organizations.
and in the past this has been a job
which required more than fou r
people to accomplish the task
properly.

based on the assumption that the
students will take charge.
With respect to the bu.siness
aspcc1 of the course. Clark noted
that financial conoe,rns would not
be the area of emphasis. Rather,
students will only need to concern
themselves with theproblems of
task accounting. It .S Clark's hope
that they will learn how to allocate
manpower in order to efficiently
accomplish the tasks set for them.
Besides gaining business and

will be exposed to a broad range of
problems relating to environ

the program (i.e.. cartography,
computer programming and
mapping, and modeling) will share
that knowledge with those
previously unexposed to thac
subject area. So, in effect, the
students will be teaching and
guiding themselves and each other.
The fact that the aim of the
course is to produoe an atlas is
somewhat misleading, according
to Clark, as the atlas will only be an
expression of the problems
students will be investigating.
For example. in the area of
environmental conoerns students
might ·PU~ue the problem of
water pollution. In doing so they
would study the Origins, the flow,

concerns such as population

Clark anticipates that studenu
participating in the seminar may
bring with them the knowledge of
an eOtirt:ly different class of
concerns. In that case these would
mose likely be incorl)Orated into
the atlas.
The fact that this course will
cover a wide anay of problems is.
in Clark's eyes. an asset to the
participating studenu. ~Not only
WI they become more aware of
pursuing local problems, but they
might aJos use the experie~ and
information obtained in this
course as the basis for papers arid
projects on other courses.
Originally, Clark had planned
on offering a course on simulation
models fo rJanuary but those plans
changed when Elgie arrived on
campus. The two of them decided
to look for a joint project which
would allow them to become better
acquainted and al the same time
offer something less like the
regular curriculum.
The philosophy behind this
offering and the way in which it is
structured illustratejust how ..nontraditionaJ" the course is. Simply
stated, the course is an experiment
testing the ability or the people to
produce information analysis of
the quality which one finds in
government and big business.
These institutions, according to
Clark, have the ability and the skill
to produce high quality
information and, as a result. play
an overwhelming role in the ·
decision-making process.
If
groups outside of these institutions
can gain the same abilities Clark
feels they will in~easc their impact
on the decisions which affect our
lives.
The worker self-management
principle, while not novel, is
sornewhat unique in our society.
lfS purpose here is to guarantee
tbat the Jtudents get at lea.st a
minimum exposure to alJ facets of
the program. Clark also feels that

··T he purpose of this
Association shall be to promote
the general welfare of the student
body and of the University as ,a
whole, and to provide gt:neral and
specific policies for the student
body and the University...
From the C'..onstitution of The
Colgate Student Association.
The Colgate University Student
Association (hereafter S.A.) is
based on the theory or
representative democracy. The
students at the beginning of each
sc hool year (o r semester)
..popularly"' elect that person who
will be their political voice at
Colgate. It is this voice which helps
provide ..general and specific
policies.. not of and by tl)e student
body but ../or the student body... In
so doing the student
represen(.atives .determine ~hat
the student's general inttrest is.
The problem with such a system
is that it seperates the individual
from the political process. By
allowing certain students to speak
for other students and determine
their general welfare this system
breeds a sense of complacency and
apathy. One bt:comcs apathetic
because he feels powerless in the
faee of the political process. This
can be seen in America a.s- well as
on the Colgate campus. What is
necessary then to combat thjssense
of apathy is to bring the individual
back into the political prooess. It is
questionable, however, whether this
can be done within the context of a
representative democracy.
If indeed it is the very system of
representative democracy itself

A newspaper should be more tban the straight forward
reporting of facts and events. It shou1d endeavor to serve the.
variety of needs and interests experienced by a diverse
readership. This is especially true of a paper which caters to
a college community.
There was a time when a newspaper could be satisfied
with reportiO.g events of local importance. However,
because of t he increasing interdependence of a growing
world community and economy, local reporting no longer
satisfies the informational needs-0fthe reader. This, again,
is especially true for a college paper.
The viability of a newspaper is contingent on its ability to
account for local concerns and the cosmopolitan tastes of its
readership. We feel, 1hough, 1ha1 the Colgate campus is not
big enough for a ...news" paper. Thus we have shifted our
emphasis from local reporting to the controversies which
surround us in the world at large. By making this shift we
feel that we can better serve the Colgate community.
This shift in emphasis doe,; not imply a neglect of local

issue,; as they affect the students.
It is our duty as a
responsible newspaper to see that students are supplied with
the.information they need. The number of important issues
on this campus however, are slim. Therefore, we feel that we
can JCgitimate)y focus on concerns which involve not only
the Hamilton area, but the outside world as well.
lnformation on non-local topics is vital to adults who .are
preparing themselves to become productive and effective
participants in a larger commuqity.
The News will also continue to serve as a forum for the
airing of local concerns. It has been our policy in the past to
publish all re,;ponsible letters to the esubmissions if at all possible. We still stand by that policy.
In addition, we actively seek and encourage reader response
and input on a wide variety of topics as we realize that our
readers' conce-r ns reach far beyond the limited boundaries of
to combat apathy 1s to change the
system. He-rein tics the basis of our
proposal. We respectfully .
recommend that the S.A. be based
not on a represcntath·e theory of
democracy but rather on a
participatory theory of
democracy.
According to a theory or
part i c i palory democracy.

by elected representatives by by the
group as a whole. Any person who
is concerned about a gh·en
proposal would be allowed tostate
their views and then vote. In this
way. elected representatives would
no longer be necessary ·and the
Student Senate could be
disbanded.
Were this proposal 10 be
implemented every s.tudent would
have an opportunity and an
incentive to participate in some
capacity in the S.A. In a very real ·
sense the student body would be
forced out of its complacent state
of mind.
Given the present state of
student apathy at Colgate. a
participacory dcmOCf"acy would
first result in policies unaeccpta'blc
to the~ general student body.
Spc,cial interest groups woujd, by
mobilizing their members and
supporters, be able to enact
legislation in their interests but not
in the interests or the studcni body
as a whole. In other words a
participatory democracy in which
the general population did not take
an active interest would invariably
result in unacceptable
conseque-noes for the general
population. The general
population in being adversely .
affected due to their lack of
part1C1pation WQuld be coerced
into taking an active role in the
S.A. Each students' own selfinterest would motivate him 10
participate in politics at Colgate.
Having b.een induced to
participate in politics, students
would lcar1l how to effedt political
change. Effecting political change
would he.Ip students to develop
positive atitudcs towards
participatory democracy and thus
insure continued involvement. A
citizen with a positive attitude
towards political participation is
not an apthetie citiien. This would
not only prove beneficial to
student government at Colgate,
but to government in general.
Having 1aken an interest and been
involved in campus politics
students would or necessi1y
become more interes1ed in the
politics or their city, state. and
nalion.
Though the institution of a
part icipatory democ racy at
Colgate would in short run create
confusion and result in the abuse
of powCr by certain groups, in the
long run stability would be
insured. As students became
involv~d. they would pass
legislation in their own interest and
in the interest of the c.ommunity as
a whole.
In the event that this proposal
were not to be put into effect then
our present st.ate of affiars and the
sense of complacency and apathy
chat of necessity accompanies it
will re.main the same. 'We would .
have failed to institute a truely

We feel that it is necessary to examine and question the
conditions under which we exist both from a narrow and a
broad perspective. We are faced with many problem$ in our
immediate envirOnment and it is our policy to confront these
problems. By examining situations incitefuJly, we wish to
stimulate concern and initiate action. Ho"pefuUy, this. will
lead to the ultimate resolution of t he existing conflicts.
There are, however, some local problems which have their
roots in more distant places. The effect of inflation on
education costs is a prime example. By dealin,g with issues of
national and internat ional importance, we attempt to survey
the conditions which bring about such far reaching
problems. We feel that an understanding of these enigmas
is a positive step toward their solution.
Ultimately, the purpose of this paper is to foster
communication at all levels of concern. Through th:-:
exchange of ideas and the contemplation of controversies
we feel that the Colgate community can grow together as a
whole. We are attempting to address ourselves to the needs
of the Colgate community and it is our feeling that those
needs are best satisfied by viewing Hamilton not as an
isolated village, but as a community which is undeniab1y
connected to the world surrounding it.

Germany Fights Their Urban Terrorists
By AREND OIKKF.RS
Machine guns in fronl ofchc Parliament buildings;
armed policemen with dogs arc everywhere; four
bodyguards for every Secretary of the governmen1
and people arguing for re-instituting capital
pu nishment.
This was the p icrnrc of Bo nn. the capital of Western
Germany. in the beginning of September. It was a
frightening p icture. unbelievable and shocking 10 the
German population. who fe ll that their lives were
threate ned by this small group of urb.an terrorists,
known as the Red Army Faction.
It was the fifth of September that the .. Baadcrgroup"' struck again. this time penetrating violently
into Gcrmany"s highest social ranks. That day Hans
Manin Schlcyer. a well-known industrialist, president
of the Federation of German Industries and the
Confederation of German Employers. had b«n
auacke-d on his way home fro m the office. In a few
seconds. his fou r bodyguards had been killed and he
himself was kidnapped by six 1errorists who
apparen1ly had planned the whole operation
perfectly.
A few days later. the Gove.rnment received a
message demanding the release or eleven j ailed
ex1remists including the leaders of the Baadcr.
Meinhoff group: Andreas Baadcr. Jan-Carl Raspc
and Gudrcn Ensslin who are currently serving life
sentences for murdering four U.~ servicemen and
attempting 34 other k illings.
Who are these people who rob banks. kidnap and
kill high officials and then disappear without any
trace? What arc cheir goals? How do 1hey want 10
achieve them'? How many are there and what d0e$ the
rest of the population do to pre•'ent any worse events?
These are the questions that are being asked in the
frightened country.
The recent h istory of Germany's urban terrorism
goes back to 1968 when Ulrike Meinhof planned the
murder of the wife of Karlsruhe's federal judge.
Buddenberg.
This ae1ion was interpreted as a
representation of all extremist activity, and soon the
Baader-Mcinhoff group emerged again as a danger
to national security.
In 1972. after four years of in.'estigation. police
succeeded in tracking down the group. Officials
stated: ..The Baader group i.s finished. All the leaders
arc in prison!"' Indeed, about a hundred suspec1s arc
in jail and las1 spring police announced that ..only
thirty terrorists were still in freedom."
Unfortunately, it seems that with every new arrest,
more terrorists appear ancl more violent ac1ions
o«ur. The first of a long list or victims was Peter
Lorenz., leader or the Christian•Oemocratic Party,
who was kidnapped in February or 1975. In April of
the same year 1he German e mbassy in Stockholm was
occupied and two persons were kill«I. During April
of this year, the public prosecutor Siegfried Bubach
died after being shot down by two persons on a
motorcycle. This was foUowed in July by the killinj!: of
the president of the Dr«dner Bank. Juergen Po, o
shot for resisting a kidnap attempt. Mr. Schley, is
the most recent of these dreadful cvcntS.
At pr.esent. the police estimate the terrorist fore 10
be composed or some 1200 persons in active serv1oe
and 6000 sympathers. This does not simplify che
investigations. especially was the whole group is
d ivided into small units such as Commando Siegfried
Hauser or Commando Ulrike Meinhoff (both groups
are named after the two terrorists who d i«I in
pri.sion and became the martyrs of all involved.
Another factor which docs not help the police i.s the
ocmplcte absence of any idealism ...It is frightening,"
states a security officer, ..When we kick down doors
looking for (other radicals) we almost always find tons
of literature • wall•to•wall Marx and Marcuse. But
here we find only weapons." The whole philosophy
of the group is based o n statements like the one of
Ulrike Meinhoff: "'We approach o ur goal • chasing
people to hell. destruction, liberation - in any way; if
possible with guns, if necessary with hunger strikes."
This is similar 10 the one of Kasslber Commando:
"We ask the State the question of power: it is either
them o r us who dies."
To the terrorists, violent action s«ms an end in
itself. Vaguely, they pronounce themselves in support
of the destruction of the "'fascist, imperialist. capitalist
system," but the pro-Moscow and pro-Pek.ing
Communist Parties in Germany denounce the
terrorist group.
Most surprising is that the young people who form
this band or terrorists come from respectable middle
.class homes and are often well edtiiatcd lawy(f'S or
professors. Most of 1heir supporters also come from
students and facu lty of the oc*ntry's universities
which seem to be the center for radicalism.
The biggest help to the terrorists are probably the
lawyers. A significant example is Siegfried Haag. the
one-time defender of Andreas Baader in 1972. who is
now waiting to be tried himself for panicipation in
terrorist activities. nmc> states in the September 19
issue. "'The radical German lawyers master the art of
disrupting cases and requesting delays. About dozen
of these lawyers have served • illegaly • as liason
between the imprisoned te-r rorists and their free
colleagues...
One of the favored weapons of imprisoned radicals
is hunger strikes. The problem for the government
and the doctors responsible for these people is when 10
decide on "'foroed·fecding." In any event, if the
terrorist dies, the prosecution always loses. They have
either ..let the prisoner die of hunger" or "have
tortured him to death through forced•fceding...
What is to be done about this violence'? It is obvious
that theGerman population is at the end of their
patience. General prosecutor Rcbmann stated : ..The
population wants us to punish these people severely,
so that they pay for their brutal actions." Indeed, 74
percent of the German population thought that
terrorists who go on hunger•strikcs should not be
·forced to eat. Tbe parliament voted on rules to:
l)aooelerate the terrorists' trials 2)suspend radical
lawyers who cooperate with terrorists and ))organize
federal and local police in a more efficient wa)' to face
extremists' activities.
Privately, people are taking precautions as well.
Mercedes Benz constructs great numbers of bulletproof cars and ma ny body-guards have been
employed.
Finally. 1he Christian Democrat
opposition urgCi Helmut Schmidt to increase police
forces and available material because: ~ ·e have to go
from 1he defense into the offense."
II seems that this is the r ight decision. It is clear that
no democratic system can work with 1hc viole nt
interference of a small group or radicals who d o not
seem to have any other philosophy but "'brutality and
dcstrue1ion."' Therefore it is very surprising that the
great French philosopher Jean -Paul Sartre
sympathiies with Baader and even more surprising
that Jean Genet. reporter for LL Mondt itates about
Germany. a country Which has presently the best
balanced economic system in Europe: .. It is the
brutality of German society which makes violence
necessary."
Who would believe that a country like Germany,
which after the war transformed and simplified their
legal system so that nothing could possibly threaten its
democracy. would be any more ..brutal than France
hc-rsclf?" Even the- Germans, who like law and order,
do not believe it and they consider the danger of a
police state (due to increasing the number o f available
forces) much smaller than the desuuction caused by a
small g_roup of tcITorists.
It is d ifficult to solve a problem- caused by people
who want vengeance, especially as they resort 10
surprise attacks, corrupt lawyers and political
blac.kmail such as hunger strikes. But, on the other
hand, their weakness seems to be the apparent lack of
a strong philosophy which justifies their actions.
Therefore, it would be a great help to the authorities if
those few people who still sympathize: with the
radicals would unders-tand the futility of violence and
stop any active help. Once the moral backbone has
been taken away, and hide-outs and supplies become
dificult to find , urban terrorism should bcoome a very
difficult practice.
In any case. it is the moral task of populations and
governments to join forces and combat these
ex tremists. Otherwise we are left with the terrifying
belief that a group which is only a fractio n or the
population could seriously threaten not only life in
Germa ny, but al$o the political a nd cconort'lic
situations in Western Europe.

Contrary to the beliefs of Matt Morley, the United
States has neither a commitment on paper nor a moral
commitment to rebuild Viet Nam. More importantly,
it would not be at all expedient to help repair the
country as that would cause our allies and trading
interests to worry about their fate should they ever be
1ttaeked.
There can be no clear cut passage in the Paris peace
agreements that states that the United States of
America will bow down to the Viet Cong and support
the continued imperialistic invasions of the north
against the south. I d on't simply say this because. in
light of the expedient translation of " ... contribute to
post•war reconstruction, .. it sounds absurd to say such
a thing, but more practically because the peace
agreement mentioned no government by name. It
must also be said that whe-n Nixon wrote his letter, the
North Vietnamese had not yet unlcascd their plot to
finish off South Viet Nam. ln fact, the North
Vietnamese far excelled their American counterparts
n the breaking of treaties as they promised not to
urthcr invade the South. Mr. Morley's argument
bout a ..moral commitment" is based heavily upon
ho is at fault. Who started the aggressions? He
laims that this responsibility falls upon the
mericans, yet by his own admission it was theNorth
hich attacked the South. This he claims was due to
he fact that the Americans were building up large
oroes over the border. Ignoring the numerous
guerilla attacks aided by the NVA, in South Viet Nam
prior to any troop build up, and assuming this to be
!rue, it would seem that Mr. Morley is con(uscd over
the meaning of aggressor. In the dictionary, an
1 ~ r is someone "'in the act of commencing
postilities or invasion; an assault."'.. Nowhere in the
~ictionary docs it say that the aggressor is someone
wh o is trying to defend himself against an impending
invasion. That situation closer fits the word ""victim."
Mr. Morley asserts that the war in Viet Nam was
!>ne of internal strife, yet he surely can not expect us to
Xlieve that Rwsia and China are part ·o f North Viet
Nam, yet these countries supported, advLScd_,

lisruption. This aiding and abbetting was not, .
.1owever, restricted only to the North. This same aid
.vas given to guerillas in South Viet Nam, along with
'forth Vietnamese partisans.
This being the case, if, indeed, the Vietnamese were
1ghting a war for independence, they failed miserably.

other countries have a certain amount of autonomy;
even if that same country's being helped m ilitarily by
the United ·states. This was their position in 1956.
The decision to withhold elections was made by Ngo
Dinh Diem, who. as far as I am aware of. was not an
American. Basically, we let the South Vienamcsc lead
their own political life andthuscan not be blamed for
the failure of the 1956 elections.
I am the fi1'$t to admit that the United States moved
a great deal of people from their homes during the
war. While this might be true to a small extent, ~
would tend to believe that 1he real reason for moving
many families out was because they were in a potential
war zone and the Americans arc not in the habit of
Jetting the innocent families of those for whom they
were fighting, cxp-0$e themselves needlessly. The
Southern Vietnamese were moved for those very
moralistic and humane reasons Mr. Morley accuses us
of forgetting. It should be mentioned that a colonel in
Korea was responsible for the statement "'We had to
destroy the village in order to save it." Not, of course,
that Mr. Morley wasn·t in the right hemisphere.
The nature or weapons in North Viet Nam is
another- point where Mr. Morley's facts a.re not
aJtogcthcr re1iablc. Without question, defoliage, tear
gas, phosphorus and napalm were used, but it should
be noted that these made for a more harmless warfare
than in World War U. Defoliage was used in order to
protect the few yards on either side of an important
rid e from ambushes.
While this d id not hurt the ecological balance it also
did not hurt any person ,ubjcct to it. ARYN groups
went about the coun1ry1ide eating food covered with
defoliage in order to prove that it was harmless. Tear
gas is a harmless we-.apon, made basically to make
your eyes tear and keep you off guard. The effects of
tear gas wear off in a matter of minutes. Had the
Americans used tear gas in World War II, they would
have been laughed at and taken to task for
..puss*footing around." And while napalm was not
developed in World War 11, 1he use of flamethrowers
and fire bombs more than o utdid napalm and
phosphorus in the amount of d estruction they were
1'C$ponsible for. Jt would seem thenhe fields must have
been des-troyed in some other way. Not, of course.
1ha1 continual offensives with tanks and thousands of
red soldiers might turn the trick because, as Mr.
Morley would have us believe. they invaded ..en
masse" tiptoeing, in o rdCr not to damage the fields.
The sad truth is that war destroys. However, this
destruction was not only limited to the U.S. Will
North Viet Nam ever repay us for the S9 thousand
Jives that were lost in the first few >·ears alone?
Our position of supporting a country that asked for
aid against an inevitable and one sided auack is a
noble gesture and ca.nnot be condcmend as
"'immoral...
.
AIJ these points arc worthy of some merit.
However, more important than the moral issue is one
of expedience.
It would not at all be expedient to pay reparations
to Viet Nam. First, it would weaken our ties with
nations that depend upon us for military support, i.e.
West Germany. Secondly, it would create havoc
within the U. S. Just imaginrcnts of the S9 thousand
dead boys and 300 thousand wounded, watching
calmly as their cou.ntry pay, the enemy for what they
did. Or how about the taxpayer being told that he
would pay more this year because the mightiest nation
on earth is apologizing to a third rate p0wcr for justly
tring to curb the imperialism of that thir~ rate_p0wer.
Indeed, ir the U.S. ever docs pay rcparauons, it would
be clearly proved that elected officials were not being
responsible to their constituents.
Outside the U.S. the action would be seen as a
warning to other countries that the U.S. is a "'Paper
Tiger." Their line ofthinking would be thal should the
U.S.$ . R. ever attempt to invade Western Europe, the
Americans would strategically retreat and then give
money to the Russians with which to insure the
continual submission of people we had called alies and
promised to help. I can not see how this wo uld in any
way better the relations ofthe U.S. with their aJlics. In
fact, it ~·ould discredit us and mark our nation as an
indian giver.
When the facts arcc1arificd, the myths dispelled, the
enoneous information corrected and the situation
seen o n a world wide scale, it becomes evident that the
United States is obliged to Viet Nam for nothing and
obliged to its own citizens as well as to its allies to S(?C
that it gets just that.

Southern Africa is scclhing. The winds of change
foreseen by Agostinho Neto while incarcerated in a
Po l'cu.gesc colonial prison. came about with the
collapse of Portugal's African Empire. History was
on the side of the Angolan and M ozambiquian
~oplc. with 1hc poli1ical indc.pendenoe and newly
won freedom coming in 197S. The departure of lhc
Ponugesc from the Southern Africa
soenc,
following more than half a millcnium of o«upation.
marked the first sign of major change on the
subcontinent.
The foe.al point of the region.
politically and economically. is the Republic of South
AFrica. and it is here 1ha1 1he changes to the nonh
would have their greatest impact.
Two white minority regimes exist as colonial
vestiges o n the African continent: South Africa and
Rhodesia. This article will s.crvc as an cluc·idation of
some of the themes presented in last week's .. ProContra." Mes.scrs Harris and Rawd"s fac ile atlempts
at promoting and auacking the South African
go..,crnmcnt dealt more in political platitudes and
rhetoric than in the realities confronting all panics
concerned.
The past sixteen months of bloody urban violence
and ci..,il unrest have brought South Africa to a
difficult cross~road in its history. In this isolated and
conservative country, the biggest change has been the
re.a li:tation among all social groups that change must
oocur. On this note, there exists a great deal of
uncertainty about whether 1hcsc changes will be rapid
and significant enough to a ... oid further racial
polarization. Past opportunities to bring about
peaceful change with moderate blacks ha-.·e been met
with brutal suprcssion. Virtually the entire leadership
the black community. from Church leaders to
respected community leaders. ha-.·e either been
permanently banned or decaincd in go-.·ernment
prisons (without charge o r ac«ss to counsel) o r else ar
under continuous surveillance by the security police.
These leaders represent the blacks' only means of
peacefully articulating their frustrations and
demands. Their repression marks an even funher
polarization
the population groups. Attempts at
dialogue and evolutionary change arc giving way to
violent re..,olution as the only pouible path o ut of
bondage.
The South African government has attempted to
minimize 1he significance of these disturbances, and at
1he same 1imc. ,justify ics response. The initial
Soweuo rio1s of J une 1976 came just pr1or to Prime
Minister Vorster's meeting with Secretary of State
Kissinger. The government viewed the violence as
more of an attempt to undermine the upcoming
diplomatic initiatives than a bona fide response to
black oppression. Another position held in many
South African circles is tha1 thes.c demons1ra1ions
were an impon of the American Black Power
movement. Still further, many believe that the unrest
is all part of a ..Communist plot," uhimately designed
to wrest the subcontinent from western control.
The governmc.nt's rcsponse to this has been to
impose a '"permanent state of emergency." A myriad
of laws such M the Terrorism Act, the Suppression o r
Communism Act, the Internal Security Act, and the
Riotous Assemblies Act. provide the legal foundation
for a suspension of civil rights and extended detention
without charge. Thus anyone. black or white. offering
any resistance o r criticism of ·thc Government is in
grave danger of arrest and long prison terms.
The recen1 ease of Stephen Biko, South Africa"s
most influential black leader, is a cas.c in point. The
circ*mstances surrou nding his death arc quite
nebulous indeed, and thc:rc arc strong indications that
he succumbed as yesult of violent physicaJ tortu.rc on
the part of his captors. P 1.0 was a moderate in th:
black community, advocating. black self-respect and
cenain fundamental changes in a spirit of peaceful
evolution. His vision is not unlike many black South
Africans, but now fewer and fewer arc willing to allow
themselves to be senselessly murdered for promoting
peaceful change.
One aspect of the South African socnc not generally
reported is the steadily increasing &enc-rational
polaritation among the blacks. Those under thiny.
more than half of the black population, have only
known the Nationalist government a nd its
legalisticaUy defined program of ..apartheid." These
people have o nly known ..Bantu education" u nder
which au integrated miuion schools were replaced
with segregated Govcrnmcnt•run institutions. This
separation is deeply resented as an inferior education
and one which has destroyed o ne of the few chances
for normal or positive-relations with whites and black$
on an cquaJ t,a.sis.. The yo1,.th have become critical of
their.parents' patic,nce and tolerance of their pos_ition
or
a change through peaceful discuuion M totally (u1ilc.
The black students and most of the black lc-adcrship
are not panicularly radical by international standards
but arc attempting to promote a peaceful e\'Olutionary
cha nge of the fundamental injustices and
inconsistencie South African system. Their demands
and the aspirations of the older generation can be
su mmarized as fo llows:
First. they demand that black leaders should be
released from jail. from detention. and fro m banning
o rders, and that 1he government should begin sincere
discussions wit h them.
Formerly banned
organizations and political panics such as the African
National Congress. Pan- African Congress. Black
Trade Unions, and community programs should be
allowed co reorganize. In this way the government
would be able to discuss the problems and aspirations
of blacks with their legitimate spokesmen.
Second. Bantu education should be ended. Black
and white students should be given the same courses,
with the same syllabi and the same quality of
educacion. At present. the gap between expenditureo n white and black students is quite high. S690dollars
per white per year, $62 per black per ye,ar. Studentteacher ratios arc correspondingly disparate • 54: I
among blacks.. 20: I among whites. While it is
generally rc-alizc.d that full equality can not be effected
immediately. an crron should be made to move
toward ending the inequalities.
Third, the •·pass law.. system, governing. black
worker occupations and movements within the
counlry should be reex amined and ended. At present,
blacks living and working in ~hite" South Africa arc
denied their right to remain there, and thus lead -.·cry
transitory existences.

Fifth. blacks should be allowed co organize trade

Eighth, the black wages should be improved and
significant progress made towards equal pay for equal

White South Africans, and the Afrikaner in
particular, see these demands as a threat to their
security and future as a people. The Nationalist Party.
which has held undisputed political control fo r nc-arly
thirty years, is the political arm
the Afrikaner
people. The Afrikaners a.re 1hc desc:cndants of the
Boers who came to South Africa in the seventeenth
century. The Afrikaners themselves have a long
history of subjugation at the hands of the Dutch, and
most recently the British. As a result, they very much
resent lhe (white) British South Africans, antheir own language, attend their own schools and
u niversities, and arc deeply rc1igious members of the
Dutch Reformed Church. They view thcms.clvcs as
che white "'lribc.. of Africa and as the beleaguered
frontiersmen who have had to fight for everything
they have. They are proud of their culture and arc
strongly united against outside forces - particularly
forces for change-.
The average Afrikaner has reacted to the rcoent
pressures of the non-white majority by underta.king
certain changes in somcorthc more superficial aspects
of their discriminatory racial policy. lnteg.Tation of
park: benches., elite hotels, theatm and certain sports
( black and white teams can now compete together, but

Thus far. only one homeland. the Transkci, has

been recognized by any country in the world except. of

Africans and the rest o f the world view separate
development as a grand ploy to disenfranchise every
non·white South African. Against this domestic and
international opposition, ii seems highly unlike-ly that
the nationalist government will be able to carryout its
program.
W hal we sec in South Africa today is the beginning
of a very long and difficult period for a country with
great potential, both in human and natural resources.
It has developed a highly sophisticated economy, the
strongest in Africa. But, unless it can resolve its racial
problems it will inevitably find itself isola1cd
internationally and more u nstable at home.
II is extremely difficult and ind eed ludicrous to
make any predictions as to how long the present
situation will continue. Thc-ir stro ng internal security
network and diversified economy lends itself to
independence and thus, would probably be able 10
with.stand sanctions or embargoes imposed by the
international community. As a result, external
pressures towards positive change will have to be firm
but subtle, reducing the risk: of further polarization of
the situation.
The- United States, prior to the Carter
administration, cstablishcd a policy of benjgn neglect
towards African liberation movc.mcnts and
communication with the white minoricy regimes of
Southern Africa. The assumption was that the
Ponug-CSe in Angola and Mozambique and the white
minority regimes in Rhodesia and South Africa were
there to stay and chat we must quietly cooperate with
them. Th.is d ichotomy in United States policy, the
public abhorrence bu1 private cooperation, angered
the African community, both in South Africa and on
the rest of the continent. The United States was
viewed with disdain and was considered an nco- •
colonial, imperialist, whitc-suprcmccist enemy which
had forgotten its own heritage.
·
Americans, if they arc to have-any positive influence
at all, must realize the extreme complexity of the
South African scene. At present, 4.2 million whiccs.
have exclusive con1rol over 20.2 million non-whites.
Among 1hc whites there exist conflicting nationalisms
between English and Afrikaner. Within the- no,o-white
group three distinct entities emerge • the i~i:lig-enous
black Africans, the "Coloureds" and the Asians. The
Africans ( 17.6 million). consist of c-ig.ht tribal or ethnic
groups: the ..Coloureds.. (2.3 million) represent the
peoples
mixed race; and the Asians (0. 7 million)
consisting or Indians and Chinese. Each of these
tro ups is seeking to maximize its position in the
;ociety and thus chis complex picture emerges.
Most South Africans agree that positive change
must come about in che ,·cry near future. The United
States sh ould play a productive role in this transition
by using its influence on the present governmenc co its
greatest advantage. The Carter Administration
appears 10 have quietly indicated to the South African
government th.at although we do not p resume to tell
them what kind of a society to build, our relations
with them will be seriously affected by the nature
that society. The underlying posicion, of course, is
that the present system of racial justice cannot help
but cau.se us to take a more i.solatcd and unfriendly
attitude toward them. Barring a favo urable response,
ther-c- arc numerous means by which effective pres.sure
can be applied:
f. Active suppon of United Nations resolutions

2. Withdrawal

3. Compel the 360 American companies in Sou!h
Africa to act as models for racial change so as to act m
harmony with U.S. foreign policy.
4. Discourage further American investment in
South Africa, etc.
The United States is in a position 10 positively
influence the South African government towards
undertaking a new social and policicaJ dispensation.

Individuality Contemplated
By LANCE HOWLAND
Sdf.critieism may be just an exercise in
individuality. That i.s. the most vigilant self.scrutiny is
an expression of the individual evaluating himself by
his own scring_cnt s1andards. In rereading my articles
of the past several weeks, my major self-criticism lies
with my endings.
My conclusions have consistently fallen back on
individualism. I raise issues that could be attacked
with sharp value judgments. but I back of( behind a
cowardly cloak of individualism. I say, "Well, it could
be good for some of the people all the time. or
horrendous for all of us part of the time, so leave it for
the individual to..."
This is a dangerous copout- -to use a term arising
out of the individuality criSC$ or this generation (I'm
getting ahead of mysclf111 be discussihg that
later). To spit in the faoe of an argument by
concluding that a concept means something only in
terms of the all·powerful 'me' is akin to a child
screaming .. No! It's my toy! And you can't play with
it, ..
Individuality can be an intellectual plaything in the
hands of a possessive ego. An over-subjectified
pettiness ruins an irgument, inviting the arguers to
stop short of a decision, and regarding the premises
only as they affect the individual.
Visions of objective reality must be encouraged,
and 1hcy are the basis of conscious social decisions. I
8m stepping\dose to the moral of a socialismcapitalism argument, but that is not my point I am
complaining more against the convenience of
escaping into a passive anarchy.
My contention is not with individuality per sc. I
have made many sacrifiocs myself on the altar of
individuality, and love it . fiercely. But I mus1
:ontinually censure myself when I act solely out of
mdividuality's sake: just to be different.
The great individualists come perilously close to a
self~cfeating moralism. I think it is inherent in their
position. By their salient individualistic example, they
,eopardizc their own thinking,. aiid inyitc a grovelling
mass of conformers to follow them, and shatter their
solitary sane attitude. Observe the carloads of tourists
and the debris they leave behind aJong the shores of
Walden Pond.
,,..
Individualism has of course made its mart
throughout human history. ever since man looked
around the cave and noticed that the other guy looted
like him, but... J think the particular strain of
individuality that so influences us today got rolling
somewhere back in the l9SO's.
We can, help but view that decade through

American dream. The young generation was caugnt
up in the conformity of the times. but exhibited a
latent restlessness.
The book that captured their adoration was On 1he
Rood, by Jac,k Kerouac. The tempo of this novel is a
little too spliced-up and scatterbrained to grasp
securely. but its fascination is embodied in the main
character Dean Moriarty.
De.an Moriarty is the ultimate individual. Dean
races back and forth across the continent. ingesting
(but not necessarily digcs\ing) a kaleidoscope of
experiences and ide.as. He careens into all of them with
an introspective interi'sity, growling ")'es!Yes!YES!"'
under his breath. But Dean's superconcentratcd
individuality prohibits others fro m penetra1ing or
understanding him.
Kerouac set the artistic tone for the popular culture.
Many other writers adopted a style like his of coy
introspectivi.sm, as if all of life was a private joke to
them and them alone. Allen Ginsberg, a poc1 who has
grown with this individualism from its SO's inception
all the way until today, the la1tcr st.ages of it, wrote of
Kerouac's influence: "I don't think it's possible to
proceed further in America without first
understanding Kerouac's te nder brooding
compassion for bygone scene and pc-rsonality
Individuality oddity'd therein."'
With Dean Mori.arty as a mascot, individuality
evolved as the guiding force of generation which took
as its slogan, "Do your own thing". But the danger lies
here: the counterculture was often parodied as being
conformist in its non~onformity- -as all donned
the trappings of blue jeans and beads, and turned en
ma.ssc to eastern cults, and generally sprang from a
gOOO idea into a clichc.
The changes thus wrought arc a pa.rt of us today.
We can often times sec where a ..Do your own thing"
·e xpectation · precludes the traditionalist education,
which exam1Des the work of master thinkers and doers
of days gone by before it moves on to individuality.
Now, at this point in my other articles. the ..Do your
own thing"' syndrome led me to conclude that.
whatever point I had made, the answer w~ for the
individual to find. However, I can, Jcave 1t to the
individual to judge self.ri&bteously his own
individuality (but it's tempting).
.
I'd like to reiterate that 1 am not again.st
individuality itself. 1 got the whole idea for this anick

usiness :whose interest?
By JONAmAN SCHNEIDER
This past Monday twning. the C-olgate colloqu;a
on eorporo1e management sponsored another in its
st:ries of talks. by the managers of corpora1ions
throughout the United States. The guest speaker for
1he even ing....was C. Peter McColough. chairman and
chief executi,,e of the Xerox Corporation.
..
The following is a review and analysis of 1he talk.
When C... Wright Mills coined the term .. Power
Elite,.. hC may handily have used as his paradigm the
image of C. 'Peter McColough.
..
At the zenith of his career. McCo loug.h can credit
himself not only with the chairmanship or 1hc Xerox
Corporation, one of the largest mulli~ational
enterprises in the world, but al50 w11h the
chairmanship of the International Executive Core and
the leadershjp of the U.S.·U.S.S.R. tr~de c~uhcil:
McColough is a power broker f9r a world in wh1c-h
the pQsition of the s1atesman is rivaled only by the
position of the corporate executive.
McColoug.h maintains that he is a principled .man.
.., believe in the free enterprise S)'$tem,.. he admtrably
declares, ..it is the best system we've been able to devise
thus far." Further. heauemptstodrawadireclcausal
connection between free c.hoi6c in the capitalist
· market and human freedom. ..Un)C$S we ha-.·e free
choice in career and buying decisions,.. McColough
staies, .."!le are unlikely to have freedom in other
aspects of our lives ...
Here, mcColough is quick to hold that in to? many
instances it is nothing but the government which acts
to inhibit free choice. He uses as his prime examplt
the fact that Congress may soon mandate the
implementation of the airbag in new automobiles as a
safety feature.
In defense of bigness in business, McColough
adamantly claims that too often the American people
..confuse the issues of bigness and competition."
Instead, he summons the vision of a nation of large
corporations virulently come.t ing with one another for
the bctte-rme-nt of the consumer, the worker a.nd the
health of the U.S. economy.
There are grave contradictions in McColough's
visio n when we con1ront it with the reality of the
American market.
The frightening truth which virtually shouts al us is
o ne which the Federal Trade Commission recognized
as early as 1969: In an era in which the U.S. economic
order may be characterized by the fact that the largest
200 corporations control more than two-.thirds of the
nation's manufacturing assecs, we may no longer
afford the iHusion that we live in a 'i"rec enterprise
system." Rather, the system may be described by a
somewhat uglier phrase • monopoly capitalism.
The question we must ask ourselves at this juncture
is, .. What sort of freedom does this more .realistic
picture of the economy point to'?"
For the consumer, to a large extent. this
..monopolistic· competition" offers nothing more
than the choice between marginally differentiated
goods at almost identical prices. If there is one lesson
the huge producer has learned well. it is that price
competition is an evil to be avoided in all instances.
In the search for an ex.ample of this behavior, we
need look no further than the o ne Mr. McColough has
given us • that of the automobile maiiufacturers.
Here, while McColough complains thar he is forced
by the Congress to purchase an air bag for his own
protection (for an inherently unsafe product). he
gi\'es no thought to ways in which more meaningful
choices, including price and product d ifferentiation.
are precluded by the monopoli1atinn of the auto
industry by three companies.
The choices afforded to the laborers in super.
corporations arc correspondingly slim. More often
than not, when o ne of these combines operates it
becom« lhe single largest producer in its locality.
Given usually small saving.1 and even smaller
k nowledge of the alternativs employment options.
labor mobilitv is kept to a minimum. With this in
concern and in small part deal with the alienation
uperieneed by those laboring for multi·billion dollar
operations.
E\'en so, McColough feels the need to speak against
these programs.
He argues primarily that the
corporatiori must represent more than the work force.
considering in additiori the welfare of its consumers,
the population of the areas in which it operates. and
the interests of the stockholders.
Mceolough's alternative solution, while not
verbalized, speaks for itself: Instead or allowing the
workers to participate, he c.Jaims to speak fo r
everyone while in reality representing no one. He-re
the record is self.evident. In no major corporation has
a presidcntialy endorsed candidate for the board of
di reel ors been voted down by the stockholders. In no
major corporation arc major concessions made to the
workers without che substantial thre-at of a union
strike. In few corporations arc public concerns, such
as environmental destruction. given adequate
consideration except when accompanied by
governmental mandates.
This conflicl between the supposed consideration
~ McColough proposes chat the modern c-0rporation
give citiien~ and workers and those who demand
actual represcotation is reminiscent of an earlier era ·
that of the American Revolution.
lt will be remembered that while the colonists
demanded .a ctual parliamentary representation, the
apologists fort he crown maintained that the colonist"s
interests were bein,g --Virtually"' represented by those
who understood their position. Few colonists were
convinced.
In much the same way, it must be understood that
we create many social institutions which control our
lives. By regulating salaries and oontrolling prices, the
corporation controls o ur. standard of living. By
producing unsafe products. the corporation has the
power of life ancl.death.
The more concentrated this power becomes. the
more insufferable it must be. The time for a dream
conceived by Adam Smi1h two centuries ago has long
since passed. In che words of Ralph Nader, it is time to
recognize that "the invisible hand of the market has
been replaced too often with the mailed fist encased in
the corporate purple.'"
At the conclusion of his talk, M.cColoug.h referred.to himself as an ..entrepreneur." If McColough truly
believes this, then like a captain without a ship, he is
living a lie. McColough and those Like him should be
described not as entrcpre.neurs, but as unelected
despots.
T.he monopolistic market is their
playground.
Insofar as we as citllens refuse to rtieogni'1.c the
reality of the American economy, we entomb ,
oumlvcs in a contradiction or our own creation. It is
time to open our eyes. It is time to extend the spirit of
democracy to o ur economic institutions and pull the
mammoth corporation to reign.
C. Peter McColough

tn this light, even if we were to agree that the ideal or
the free enterprise system could lead us to greater
freedoms, we would still be fo rced to cast aside this
ideal with the knowledge cif the perverse reality it has
spawned. Mc:Colough's world offers libeny to _few but
those priveleged members of the managerial and
professional classes.
_
Thus it is hardly surprising that men search for a
brighter future. In YugOslavia and Germany elected

Afro--Cuban Jazz is one of the
newest available "twofers"' on the
recently instituted Verve jazz
reissue series. It varies from the
current crop of re-releases in that
its emphasis isn't on mainstream
jazz. Instead. as the title lmpllCS, it
is a conglomeration of Cuban big
band cuts featuring jazz artists.
The album centers around the
bands of leaders Machito and
Chico O'Farrill. The styles of these
groups arc basically the same:
both use a solid latin~navored
percussion base with brass
accompaniment
The Machito
cuts, recorded in 194S. J9SO, have
the added bonus of saxists Charlie
Park.er and Flip Phillips. While
Phillips i.s son and competent, it is
Parter who shines throughout.
Often, while the band sets a.steady
beat, Parker punctuates it with
inspired, fircy alto lines.
The last side is a 16,,minute long
suite played by the Diuy Gillespie
Orchestra. This J 9S4 session is
distinctly more jau oriented,
despite O'FarriU's arranging and
the presence of an expanded
?hythm section. Diz shines in this
suite. and he soar, on the bluesy
finale.
This album reflects the interest
in this particular ftffl6n of mus.C
of the late fourt.ie s and early fifties.
Populari!y may rise again, as
evidenced by both this album and
lasl year's Dizzy and Machito
album Afro~Cuban Jazz Moods.
This is an excelJent sampling of
this genre; and, as usual, Verve
ser.·es up a quality package,
complete with informative line
notes and also plastic inner sleeves.

Steely Dan is every critics choice

awards as Rolling Stone's Album

There isn't a band around thal can
touch them in critical acclaim.
Yet, Steely Dan remains a
commercially unaccepted group.
The reasons for this arc as complex
as is their music. However, the two
prime reasons are the bands'
unwillingness to tour. a nd the
transient nature of the personnel in

Along with producer Gary Katz,
Becker and fa*gen arc ve.ry
discriminating about who plays
their music. If a drummers' style
fits one tune, but not another, they
simply 4+k the drummer and find
one whose style fits the desired
beat. On the new album ..Aja", the
band uses seven different
drummers for the seven tracks. In
short, they arc di((icult, if not
impossible to work with.
Steely Dan last toured in 1972
on the coauaits of an enorruous1y
successful debut album, "'Can't

Russian music has always b«n
marked by iu fervid nationalism
and i1s colorful exo1icism. In 1he
melodies of this vast land is a
quality that evokes a whole
panorama of histroy; the clash of
barbarian lribes and alien
civiliiations, the confrontatio!)..of
East with West. the.conOict of the
urban and the nJStic.
From its cas1ern shores, where
the sounds of the Orienl colored
the songs or nomad tribes, to the
chants of the Europeanited
wes1ern cities, the soul of Russia
has always found its mos1
eloquent expression in music.

savagely primitive, the musjc of
this land remains its greates-t glory.
The .. 1812 Overture,. probably

example of the towering
achievements in Russian music.
Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (18401893) has left us with many other
masterpieoes as well. His 'March

La.st Saturday night, before a
crowd or abou1 65-0 people. a large
turn-out considering the pouring
rain a nd the fact that many
srndcnts had not yet returned from
Cornell. Vincen t Buglios i
delivered the year's first lecture.
The talk dcah with, for the most
part, Charles Manson and his
family, and their uial.
Bugliosi made every effort to
give an interesting presentation.
which was no easy task considering
that most people present had
probably read his book and/ or
seen the T. V. movie. The speaker
had to draw on singular incidents
of the 1rial a nd aspects of the
Manson rafflily life that were of
e nough interest to hold the
audicnoe·s attention. To some
extent, he succeeded in t'hi.s.
though there W3$ still some
overlap. Unfortunately. Bugliosi
concentrated o n that 10 the extent
that his lecture-was left lac.king in
one important aspect: theme. The
fact I.hat he we.- speaking o n one
major topic did not at a ll add
cohesion 10 his presentation. as
1hat lopic is simply too broad to be
treated in a general way.
One-interesting angle which was
dealt with was the ways in which
M anson was able to impel his
followers to kill total strangers
when ordered. Rather than taking
advantage of that possibility,
however. Bugliosi used it as the
point of departure for an endless
series of digressions, leaving his
talk void of any cohesion.
Bugliosi came across as what he
is: an intelligent and very
co m petent lawyer who is
opportunist , enough to see the
monetary potential the locture
circuit holds for a man in his
position. He didn't have a poin1 to
make; he had to make up points.
This is nothing on which to fault
him as he did the best with what he
had ~ it is only too_bad he didn't
have more.
And yet, despite these
difficulties, t he very auraetion of
the Manson case which served to
ma ke it so famous was e.nough to
hold everyone's interest.

hours, which inc,l uded several
sharp-edged questions from the
a udience.
He start«I by dealing with the
:auscs for the case's fame, noting
1he youth of the Manson girls, a nd
Manson's uncanny ability to gel
others to do his killing for him.
· The nature of the killings
themselves was biiarre: never
before in American history has an
an1i-socicty movement reached
such a violent stage. In all, there
were JS k nown killings. perhaps as
many as 40 in all.
Bugliosi related 1hesc. and other
aspects of the crimes with an
objectivity wh ich was q u ite
inipressi\•c: that the man who had
spent the betCt.r pan of a year
trying to bring the death penalty
against Manson could ra1ionaUy
and lui::idly talk about him is
perhaps a clue to his success as a
pros«utor.
Manson's control over his
fo llowers was incredible. And,
Bugliosi tried to show this
in
court, in order to convince the jury
that they would kill for him. He
cited the testimony of a form er
Manson family member who said
that during their frequent sex
orgies, Manson directed virtua11y
every movement that was made.
This domination was not
grounded in fear, since Manson
girls did on occasion violate his
o rders to slay. He somehow
managewas Chin1. though an ex-family
member later rcalited that he was.
in Bugliosi's words, "'A very evil,
sophisticated con man... He had a
rare power of personality: . he
would interpret the charac:ter of a

Drugs., marijuana and LSD in

subjected his followers to

as well as drawing p ledges

To Life, To Life, Mihaha!
By CH RIS F UNKHAUSER
Who's Mihaha? That was the
question buzzing a round , the
Colgatity Wednesday afternoon.
We found out, when the shades of
night descended upon us, that the
main qucs:rion to be asked at the
Pub was, "'Who's drinkin,g?'
Mihaka blew into Hamilton on lhe
west wind, took a scat at the piano
and "Sweaty Bettied" a boisterous
crowd to a ne,a r fre nzy.
In an in-depth interview Robert
.. Mihaha" M ichalek m·ealed a few
interesting points about himself.
"I believe swear words are
becoming a great art form in
America. They do rhyme easily.
Abo the public can relate to
vulgarity bccau.~e. in fact, they are
vulgar. Not to put down my fans.,
they just have sex and excrement
on 1hcir minds as much a.s I do. I
merely arrange it for them, put it in
a , semi-coherent sequence of
sentences, and add the fluidity and
grace of lhe piano."
Along with the profanity which
was inescapable to anyone without
earplugs o ne hundred yards

transformed himself into a serious
piano player/ song writer. all of
the more sober songs were of his
own composition.
The most
striking was a soft number called.

songs.
Unfortunately the c rowd was
there for two things: drunkcncss
and perversion. This cross section
of one of the finest institutions of
higher learning was not at the Pub
for culture. In fact, Mfhaha could
not be heard above the din of
conve.rsation whenever he slid into
one of his quieter numbers. A fine
comment on the interests of our
Sex rvc Ever Had)." That title
does speak for it.self.
Although M ihaha told the N~ws
he can perform soberjust as well as
"'co*cked," he didn't give us a
chance to sec last night. He was
chugging·bcer with both hands on
the piano getting as pie-e)'cd as any
of the rest of us.
Mihaha was formerly a Colgate
student in the Class of 1977. He
spent the last year in California,
first in Berkeley a nd then moved
south 10 Long Beach fort he Spring
and summer. there he was joined
by four other distinguished
Colgate a lums: John Bink, Eugene
Sc,hul:zc, James Pushkah., and
myself. All went on the Gong
Show with separate acts; a variety
of musical travesties.
Miha ha auditioned three
separate ac:ts., first the piano, then a
s.tand~up comedy routine with a
partner. and finally went on the air
in August eating apples whilst
j uggling them.

John Koch on
Display at Dana
By D AVID SH A R P£
One day. soon after the opening of this show. a number of parents
entered the Picker Art Gallccy. They strolled slowly, stopping now
a nd then. viewing the exhibition. Most or the comments overheard
were favorable.
The atmosphe re was quiet and pleasant when suddenly a lady burst
out, "My God. chis man has an obsession with nudity!"'
To be sure. the painting and drawn studies by John Koch currently
hanging in Dana p,onray many nude figures. However. it would be
more accu rate to say that Koch has found a brilliant method of
putting the viewer "behind the canvas."
Most of Koch's works deal with his life in 1hestudio as a painter. In
1hc paintings one s,ecs both him and his models in various s1ages and
mixtures of working and relaxing. He portrays an off.moment for his
subjects who are contemplating the world in progress. or just living
(receiving p hone calls. reading the paper. etc.).
Koch is a New York City artist. One fee ls the location through the
atmosphere cnated in the pictures. An example of this ..Interior of
Studio.. (1956). depicts his wife speaking on the phone while a visitor
comfortably sits on the couch. drink in ha nd. The quicc, congenial
expression on the visitor's face reOccts the subdued interior light oflhe
New York City apartment. the rich furnishings complement thcsoene.
A large mirror on the wall behind the visitor reOects a window
through whic-h one S«s the brilliantly suony local architectural skyline
across the river. Two more visitors arc seen in the reflection along
with the artist behind his easel.
One can easily imagine the conversation taking place over personal
influences a.~ the result of a museum visit or contact with an artist·
frie nd . One is drawn into the ,..cry atmosphere from which the
painting was created. One secs its cre.ation.
On another level. the viewer is "physically.. drawn into the
apartment through Koch's adept us.ige or the mirrOr. Just as one can
read one of the dark mirrored reflections as a visitor. one can also
interpret this as the \'iewer's shadow while srnnding before the work .
.. Interlude" (1963). brings us into one of those earlier referred to off.
moments. One secs the model from behind as she reaches for the cup
of tea being offered by the artist's wife. A break has come in the
modeling session. and it is time for her to relax from her set posi,ion
and take refreshment. Koch lounges in lhe background, off the stool
onto the couch , and cases his body.
However, the bre.ak is not a time 10 stop work. The atmosphere is
pervasive a nd this is o nly a moment when he has drawn back to get a
new perspective on his artistry so far completed. His eyes search for
both what has been done correctly and what seems compositionalyy
inconect and must be redone. However, the artist here serves only asa
referent so that the viewer is able to grasp a reason for thc depiccion of
the nude.
One secs the model ill a natural position. She is no1 posing. but
:xists as she really is. Yet she is set in a composition because Koch has
caught her in this moment and arranged the other elements around her
composi1ionally and to tell a story. It is a new and beautiful method of
exhibiting the nude.
There arc other paintin&! at the show which combine all of the
previously mentioned elements with a meaningful symbolism. The
one sculpture displayed delves into Greek mythology (along with a n
unfinished p~inting). Not only is the showexoellent, but the catalogue
is superb. containing 28 reproductions of which six arc in color.
T he show runs through October 16th. I would make time for more
than one visit .

Healy leads Red Raiders to third straight wrn
By DAVID MURDOCK
. 1be Big Red of Cornell
University capitalized on three
cosily Colgate fumbles Saturday
and forced 1hc Red Raiders to
come from behind to claim their
third consecutive victory against
no defeats.
The weather in Ithaca. N. Y. was
not exac1ly what one would term
"optimal.. for this old footba11
rivalry. Throughout head coach
Bob Blackman·s Cornell debut
dark clouds hung ominously over
Schoellkopf Field and finally
dumped a heavy rain on the sparse
crowd during an action-packed
second half.
Back to Wells
For the third straight week. the
Red Raiders tallied in the first
quaner when Bob Relph threw a
l 2-yard touchdown pass to tight
end Casper Well s.
Jerry
Andrcwlavage booted the cxua
point and 1hc Raiders appc.ared to
be well on their way to an early
vic1ory.
Allhough Relph hit halfback
Jim . Comforti with a 3l•yard
scoring strike in the s«ond
quarter. the overall play of 1he
team caused head coach Fred
Dunlap to say, ..I fell that we
weren't very sharp at the outset or
the game, but I'm never displeased
when we carry a 14·point
advantage into the lockeroom at
halftime."
The Colgate defense dominated
the first half of play as the Big Red
offense could muster only 131 total
yards. Defensive tackle Ray Liri
and linebacker Doug Curtis
handled most of Cornell's ball
earrie.rs while cornerback Paul
Lawler did a good job in the
secondary bre.aking up two passes.
Curtis led the team in tackles wilh
nine while~ helping out on seven
01hers. and John Quinn and Gary
Hartwig each managed eight
tac-kles and three assists apiece.
A World of Difference
The second half was a testimony
to the excitement of the comeback.
Cornell scored first at 13:08 of the
third period off of a fake field goal.
Quarterback Jim Hofher took the
snap from center. but instead of
placing 1he ball on 1he kicking tee
he rolled to his right and sponed
slot back Keith Sepcssy in the end
zone for the touchdown.

Cornell recovered the fumble after
three plays, Hofher hit tight end
Brad Decker with an eight-yard
touchdown pass. Hofher followed
this by tossing to Dave Rupert for
a two-point con\•ersion. Suddenly,
Cornell had a one point advantage,
l!>-14.
But not for long,
Showing that he docs ha\'e great
poise under pressure, Bob Relph
guided h is offense steadily down
the field. He gave the pigskin to
Pat Healy on second and goal and
the Cornell se\ Cn yard line and
Healy bulled his way through the
defensive secondary for the score.
Relph was thrown for a loss on the
anempted two-point .conversion.
and the Raiders held a slim 20-1 S
lead.

The biggest surprise of the day
came from 5'-8''-190 pound $Cnior
tailback Craig Jaeger. Also an AllAmerican lacrosse player. Jaeger

Cornell's ne:ict offensive series.
Breaking 1hree hard tackles, he

unchallenged and put the Big Red
out in front 22-20. He finished 1he
game with 58 yards o n 19 carries
and IO I yards on four receptions,
his best game 10 date.
Once again. the heat was on the
Raider offense, and again they
were able-10 come up with the big
play. A 40-yard pass from Relph
to Healy gave the Raiders a first

game of the se.ason at Cornell as he

ll's A Start
Sports Informal ion OireclOr Bob Cornell has begun to auack 1he
problem in his precious few free hours. primarily conccntra1ing on
facts needed for press guides and brochures on various Colgate teams.
ThcSe include winnings1reaks, 1op individual performers. and seasonby-season records. Presently. Mr. Cornell is delving into the major
sports (football. hockey, and basketball). but he hopes to evcntaully
collect information on all 1he Red Raider teams, He makes no
pretcntions about being able to finish the task in a few months, or even
in a year; Bob Cornell is a realist, not a pessimis1.
Varsity basketball coach Mike Griffin has been working since last
spring on personal and team records in his sport. some1hing he had
wanted to do for seYcr.111 years but which he hadn't had the chance 10
attempt. "h's a baule, very frankly," he says or his tedious search for
an accurate tracing of exactly where the university's basketball
program has been in the past.
Griffin has wriuen to all of the living former basketball cap1ainsand
coaches asking for information, and has consulted records of
contractual agreements as well. For example. last week he u ncovered
a contract with Army giving Colgate 200 dollars for playing the
Cadets at _)Vest Point. The $200 was a maximum amount in the series
between tie two teams, which was until recently played exclusively at
West Point: some or the games put no money into Colgate athletic
coffers, but merely a few meals into the p layer's stomachs.
He believes that he has found an explanation of why basketball
records are so inadequate. al was told that a man who was the sports
information director for 18 years here loved dearly football and
hockey. What he did for baske1ball was cover 1he Syracuse and
occasionally the Penn State games."
!At's Gd Thlnp Strai&hl
The scanty and at least partially spurious information in. the
basketball press guides o(recent years motivated Griffin to begin his
quest. The guides listed only five statistical categories, and one, the
"best field-goal percentage, season"' incorrecdy credited · Tom
Cruthers rather than Chris fa*gan with the school record. The fine
performance of the 1976-77 hoopsters made their predecessors'
records less important to this year's broch_ure. according to coach

A(ler fo ur weeks of strenuous
Colgate's
Women's
vollcyball tca.m is ready to take IC
the coun for its season opener
October 6. Coached by Janel
Little, the team pf 12 met for the
fi rst time Sept. 2 to begin
preparations for a-competitive
schedule of 20 matches.
Eight~cn girls originally tried
o ut for the 1ea.m and by the end of
1hc week Little had chosen her
,cam. Though compoSC'd of
'rcshmcn and sophom*ores only, it
1as a solid nucleus i n the form of
even returning varisty playcn
ncluding Kelly Andrews, Totic
-\rmstrong, Eileen Cavanagh, Sue
Harnisch, Doreen Lum. Terry
McMahon. and Donna Paresc.
Little considers the youth or the
team to be an advantage. for it
gives the team a stable foundation
for the future.
New membe rs include
sopho more Carolyn Zenk and
freshmen Jill Cicero. Robin Earl.
Lori Eaton, and Robin Olson.
Each individual has shown vast
improvemen t . in s k ill si n ce
practices began. and the team as a
whole shows great promise.
Acc-0rding to Little, ..There's bttn
a great improvement ind ividually
and that's what we're aiming for.
The skills are coming. We just need
to de\'elop confidence in using
them,_and that will come with time
and practice." As the season
progresses she expects the players
to learn each other's cap8bilitics
and to know what the other players
will do in given situations.
Presently the team's 'major
strengths lie in its offense where
hitting power is strong.. ln.,addition
to the re-turning sophom*ore
spikers. the freshmen contribute
both height and power to the · .,
o ffense.
Defensive s1rategies need more
work, however, particularly in the
areas of blocking and suvice
reception. Little feels that these
ha-.·e improved. but could be
better. The players also need to
c-0ntrol the game's pace and play at
var·ious levels of speed . .

practice. Liule i( surie or a

Palmateer, ..would be that the
teams do not put down the name of
people who are incompetent or
have no feel for the game."
Palmateer also hopes that since
e.ach team will have a friend in the
refereeing pool, they won't be as
;nsensitive to the plight of the
referee.

The Colgate Jntramural foo tball
program is now involved in asingJe
elimination tournament which will
culminate in a champion from tM
men's fraterni ty division, men's
independent dormitory division,
and women's division.
The-football intramllral regular
season was cancelled last w«k
although many teams had played
o nly o ne o r two games. The major
reason for t he cancellation.
obvious ly, was the heavy rains
whieh saturated fields three and
four to the point where they were
both underwater. Since both field s
are situated in a normally swampy
area behind Reid Athletic Center.
the wate.r table is naturally high.
·nc· heavy rainfalls merely
bo-Osted the already h igh water
table to nood level.
Director of Intramural and Club
sports Don Palmateer e-0m
mented, "Since 1969, these last two
'years1ha\'e been the first time I've
had 10 make special arrangeme.nts
with football and soccer teams
because of bad weather."
Palfflatc,:r attributed the curtailing
of fall intramural prl>grams partly
to the lack or playing fields, since
the two fields on College Street are
used by the women's field hockey
team and field five by the women·s
Soccer Club.
A shortage of referees has aJso
affected the football program.
.. We were handling the situation
fairly well, but we were assigning
refs games th.rec or four days a
week," said Palmateer More
referees are required this se.ason
sinoe three referees are now
assigned to each game as oppos.cd
to the traditional two.
The
addition of one more referee has
been made 10 help keep line players
under Control so as to redu~e the
number of injuries.
To remedy the rcferee shonage.
Palmateer and the intramural
managers will make it mandatory
that each team that signs up for a
..controlled" sport designate o ne
person as a referee.
This
requirement wilJ go into effect
starting with the soccer season in
October. Each referee wiU be paid

April·1978 target
for Reid completion
'
By MARK S ALTZMAN
The pr.:sent renovation of Reid
Athletic Center had its roots in
197S when the Physical Education
Depanment, d ecided to improve
the newer or Colgate's two gyms,
according to Colgate Associate
Athletic Director Bob Oieming.
Much planning and h.ard work
went into drawing up the blue
prints until this years·construction
finally began.
The money for the project at the
present time is being e-0ntributed
by the University, but ev.cntually
the money will come from the
State Dorm Authority. The cost is
estima~ed at around 1.2 miJlion
dollars. T he builder is Murnane
Associates and the architect is
Frank Dellechcse.
The major reason for the
renovation otReid is simple. Reid
was built before women were
admitted to the school, so the gym
has all male fac.ilities. Until now.
women's sports teams have had 10
dress ii) Huntington Gym and then
go to, their sp«iri'c playing sites,
usually across the road. They've
had no place to shower o r to go at
halflime. T his accounted for the
idea two years ago to renovate
Reid.
The changes arc nume.rous.
Here arc some or the major ones:
First. they are adding locker rooms
for women; at present, these arc
..non ex istent. There are n o
showers. either, but they are also in
the plans. as is a women's
,equipment room. There will be two
women's home locker rooms and
one visitor's. A second visiting
locker room is a possibility, so it
may be possible to accomodate
two visiting teams at once. A new
structure- behind the hockey rink
will house women's showers and
locker rooms.
There will be a newer and more
efficient laundry room- to handle
the extra load- which will be
locatc-d next to the bowling alley.
T he home wrestlingand basketball
locker r-0oms will lose some of
their extra lockers, and the
wrestling room and wrestling area
will be re-loca1ed.
The training room will be
st.ationed where it can be easily
reached by both men and women,
an obvious need Other p lans call
for two new 1eam rooms, a small
team room, and a conditioning
room with 1wo saunas. The
condi1ioning room wil l be
acccessible lQ both men and
women.
A new official and c-0ach locker
room will be included. In the past,
these gentlemen changed in the
boiler roomt... The iamboni rooms
were changed so now ioe c.an be
shovelled out a nearby door (The
z.amboni resurfaces the ioc after a
period of hockey, period of free
skating, or a hockey practice).
4
4
Behind the ice rink 1here will be a
new storage area. and ou1door
equipment storage room will be
added.
Another storage room will be
situated u nder the buttresses at
Reid to house volleyball and tennis .-..
equipment and various other
apparatus. This o ne is necessary
for safety and security reasons.
Kids have bttn constantly jumping
on the mats. which can break
them. There is also a new plaoe to
get bleachers out to allow free
skating in the hockey rink. A
visiting team locker room will be
used as a ch.anging room for frtt
skaters.
There will also be a new office
area, with some offices lost and
some picked up. The hoc.key coach
and his assistant will relocate their
offices as well as two women's
offices. T he resurfacing of the
track in Andy Kerr Stad.ium.
originally planned for 1976, will be
done this year and is part of the
renovation. Whether the track will
be resurfaced in time for spring
track is not known as yet.
Since there is no acoess to
daylight in Reid, a new heating and
ventllation system will be in.stalled.
The infamou.s showers. k-nown to
be quite tempermental by many,
will be repaired. According to Mr.
Deming. we are ..only giving up
parking space'" to ere.a te ..more
efficient facility".- Reid, which is
scheduled to be completed by
April 1978, is not the o nly job 1he
builders are contracied to do.
Whenever Reid is completed the
builders will go across the street to
a vacated Huntington gym, where
another renovation will begin.
Women's locker rooms will be
added. as will a new physical
education station. The office
complex will be changed due to
people moving across the strieet.
The major renovat ion in
Huntington will be in the front
part of the buildin,g. Three
classrooms will be added (there is
now o nly one), and new audic,..
visual faci lities will be situa1ed in
them.
No pool changes are scheduled
but the women's swimming locker
room will be broken up because its
present capacity is pot needed.
The laundry room is being
moved ac.ross the street into Reid.
and a new equipment area is being
developed to serve men and
women. The heaviest part or the
cost will be in the renovation of the
electrical and heating systems.
Huntington may be available for ·
fall classes as it is scheduled to be
completed by the end of
September.
As Mr. Deming says. "The two
renovated facilities will be more
efficient whe-n they arc completed.
Certainly the women will think
so.
