Fine arts profs blast Viet war

By CLAUDIA COHEN

The faculty of the Graduate School of Fine Arts voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to condemn the war in Vietnam.

The resolution, which was passed by a vote of 18 to 6, states, 'It is not a 'tiny minority' of our students but a substantial portion of the entire University community, faculty, and students, who are deeply offended by these (Vietnam) policies."

The faculty, which includes members of the departments of architecture, city planning, and landscape architecture, condemned continued American presence in Vietnam and called for an immediate troop withdrawal. The resolution also supports a "reversal of national priorities away from militarism in all its guises and toward social reform in this nation."

G. Holmes Perkins, the dean of the school, said the faculty is sending the resolution to the University Council, the Faculty Senate, President Harnwell and Provost Goddard for their consideration.

In addition, about half of the school's 400 graduate students have signed a petition similar to the resolution. Ian L.McHarg, professor and chairman of the department of landscape architecture, said the studentrpeti- tion led to the faculty resolution. He commented, "Youth showed more conscience than their elders. It is appropriate that students act as the conscience of society."

The student petition was BRUCE DICHTER

G. HOLMES PERKINS

based on the report of the Wilf Committee, which called on the University to take a stand against the war. The committee, formally called the Committee on the Goals of Higher Education, was chaired by Dr. Herbert Wilf,professor of mathematics.

McHarg, who has spoken against the war on several television programs, said that the vote represented a "total rejection of the war in Vietnam, which is a blemish upon the American spirit."

Chris Brown, a graduate student in city planning and spokesman for the students, said they are deeply involved in urban problems and feel that the Vietnam war is "drastically curtailing progress on the social scene."

"The question of Vietnam is particularly relevant to our profession," Brown continued. "We want to get out immediately."

Scott, Griffin tabbedbyGOP

Senate Republicans shattered decades of conservative domination Wednesday by electing a liberal, Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania, as their leader.

The former Philadelphia congressman defeated Sen. Howard Baker of Tennessee, the conservative backed candidate, 24 to 19, in a secret ballot vote to select a successor to the late Sen. Everett M. Dirksen as Senate GOP leader.

Sen. Robert Griffin of Michigan was selected to succeed Scott as minority whip. Griffin is generally considered slightly to the right of the 68-year old Pennsylvanian.

Griffin's victory came on the third ballot of a four-man race for the second spot in the GOP hierarchy. His rivals were Baker, James Pearson of Kansas, and John Tower of Texas. Griffin beat Baker 23-20.

He follows Dirksen, William Knowland of California, Robert Taft of Ohio, Style Bridges of New Hampshire, and Kenneth Wherry of Nebraska, all noted conservatives, in the post of Republican Senate leader.

Immediately after the vote, President Nixon telephoned his congratulations to Scott and the new GOP leader assured him the race had evoked no bitterness amongSenate Repub- licans.

Scott got support from lib- erals, some moderates and a few conservatives edgy about the 43-year-old Baker's lack of experience and youth. Baker has been a senator for three years.

Scott's victory climaxed a highly successful political career. He has served as Re- publican whip under Dirksen, Republican national chairman, a congressman for 16 years and a Senator for 11 years.

As manager of the Presi- dent's legislative program in the Senate, Scott will attend leadership meetings at the White House at least twice a week.

Sen. Richard Schweiker, Pennsylvania's freshman senator and Scott's campaign manager in the Senate fight, said Scott's election is "important as concerns the benefits that might accrue to Pennsylvania."

"This is the first time that the state will have a direct link to the highest policy-makingapparatus of government," Schweiker observed.

The victory marks the first time a Pennsylvanian has become the Senate leader of either party.

UNIVERSITY COUNCIL meets for the first time with undergraduate and graduate students as voting members. Most of the discussion centered around campus recruitment.

Activities Council meeting revives faint memories of UPSG confusion

By MELVIN GOLDSTEIN, Jr. UPSG is alive and well in Stitler

Hall. Rumors that it had died were

quickly dispelled when the Activities Council of the University of Pennsyl- vania Community of Students met Wednesday night for a hectic hour and a quarter of parlimentary confusion and obfuscation.

Opinion The council, made up of repre-

sentatives of the various campus activities, is charged with allocating undergraduate student money to those self-same activities. The conflict- of-interest problem bothers no one in particular.

The meeting began at 7:45 P.M. with a motion to reaffirm the alloca- tions made by the council last semsster after nearly 60 hours of meetings and research during finals week. The motion was temporarily tabled after some confused shouting, and admissions by a number of representatives that they had no idea what was happening.

Nearly three-quarters of an hour later, the council returned to the motion, only to be confronted by a counter motion proposed by a representative of the Student Mobilization Committee. The counter motion stated that the council begin over a- gain and re-allocate the nearly $200,000 it voted to activities last semester.

The counter motion was defeated 23 to 12. The motion passed 22 to 11 with 2 abstentions. The figures make sense—unless you know that several activities voted for both the counter motion and the motion, and

ACTIVITIES COUNCIL members engage in UPSG-like polemic and debate at their first meeting last night.

that several voted against both. The meeting ended with a decision

that the entire council will act as a finance committee and attempt to complete its still unfinished alloca- tions next week.

Frequently, the meeting broke down into a shouting match—in most cases between those who wanted to get on with the business at hand and those

who wanted to know what the business was. Requests for clarifications were ruled out of order, delegates walked in and out during votes and the motion to adjourn was met by cries of delight from many delegates. The council considers itself capable of rationally considering at a meeting next week

Council votes on recruitment

By PHYLLIS KANISS

The University Council Wednesday reaffirmed the right of employers to recruit on campus, but at the same time also recognized the right of students to protest, within specific limits, against policies of recruiters.

The afternoon session marked the first meeting of the Council with both undergraduate and graduate student members in attendance. Twenty-six of the 30 student spots designated last March by theCouncil in the amendment to its by laws were filled, with representatives from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences not yet chosen.

The Council, after considerable attempts at amendment and much parliamentary confusion, referred back to its Steering Committee, a proposal on recruitment by the Faculty Senate Advisory Committee. The proposal would have required prospective recruiters to "discuss the policies and character of' the organization at a public meeting" if

500 members of the University community signed a petition requesting the meeting.

Also referred to the SteeringCom- mittee was a proposal by student member Neil Lutsky which would allow a 500-signature petition to pro- hibit undersirable corporations from recruiting on campus.

Several of the new student members challenged part of the statement on recruitment which asserts that permission to recruit on campus "does not imply endorsement by the University of the policies and character of the organization."

Ira Harkavy, one of the student member, charged that by allowing a corporation recruitment facilities on campus, the University "does imply endorsement."

Harkavy proposed that the statement be changed to read: "theUniver- sity has a moral obligation to ban recruitment by corporations involved in the war in Vietnam."

"The University must make a stand in dealing with the American genocidal involvement inVietnam," the College senior declared.

Opponents to Harkavy's proposal contended that the change would pre- vent the University from being an "open forum willing to tolerate all ideas" and that it would necessitate investigation and moral judgement of each corporation coming on campus. Provost Goddard also ob- jected, saying that the proposed statement would force the University to endorse the policies of any institution not involved in the Vietnam war.

Harkavy's proposal was defeated, overwhelmingly, and the original statement was approved by the Coun- cil.

At the same meeting, Provost Goddard announced that the administration has not as yet come to a decision over whether to suspend classes Oct. 15 in cooperation with a nationwide Vietnam moratorium.

The Provost was presented Tues- day with a petition signed by 15 department chairmen, and other senior faculty members, advocating a suspension of classes on that day. The faculty members suggested that

Trustee statement claims concern for West Philly

By JONATHAN TALMADGE In response to a request by the Faculty

Senate last spring, the trustees issued a statement asserting their "deep concerns" with the problems of the West Philadelphia area.

"The Trustees are highly sensitive to the problems of the community," the memorandum stated, " particularity those relating to the West Philadelphia High School."

The Faculty Senate, at a meeting June 10 had requested the trustees to issue a statment ex- plaining the goals of the University and its relationship to the community. The trustees statement was dated July, 1969 and released Wednesday.

The trustees' statement, entitled "The Uni- versity's Responsibilities To Higher Education and To The Community," examined the functions of the University and the restraints imposed upon it by it's "primary mission" and by "limited resources."

"The Trustees assert that the primary mission of the University of Pennsylvania is at the level of higher education in the area of learning, teaching, research and scholarship," the statement begins.

"Concerns in other areas," the memorandum continues, "should not be allowed to dilute this primary thrust."

Financial responsibilities, also limit the activity of the University, the statement adds.

According to their statement, the trustees are " charged.. .with the maintenance of the fiscal integrity of the University and are

answerable to the Courts for the administration of funds which have been turned over to the University under various Deeds of Trust or other restrictions and are directly responsible for seeing that the funds are not diverted for pur- poses other than those specified by thedonor."

And the statement adds, "The need for the strictest economy throughout the University has imposed severe limitations on the Trustees and has left them little discretion in implementing many important policies."

Returning to the problems of West Philadel- phia and its high school, the statment charged that these problems "are brought about largely by the extremely limited financial resources of the School Board of the City."

The trustees added, the ultimate responsibi- lity lies with the School Board. "Notwithstand- ing," the memorandum continues, "theTrustees are anxious and willing (within their capabilities) to participate with other concerned institutions in West Philadelphia in taking steps to relieve the present critical situation."

The statement went on to assert that "for over 10 years members of the University family have been active in the life of the community. ..." and that "these efforts, performed within the University's limited resources,cover the whole spectrum of problems relating to urban living."

In conclusion, the trustees declare

Mets clinch division title NEW YORK -- Rookie Gary Gentry, aided by a pair of Dorai Clendenon

homers and a two-run blast by Ed Charles, clinched the National League East- ern Division title for the New York Mets Wednesday night by blanking the St. Louis Cardinals on four hits, 6-0. The victory, which climaxed one of the greatest comebacks in baseball history, was the Mets* 34th in 44 games since Aug. 16 when they were 91/2 games behind the Chicago Cubs. The Mets will now play the winner of the Western Division Title for the pennant, beginning on Oct. 4. The Mets, who never before had finished higher than ninth in the league, wasted no time achieving their unbelievable feat as they kayoed strike- out ace Steve Carlton with a five-run outburst in the first inning. Carlton, who struck out a record 19 batters in his last appearance against the Mets, didn't have it from the outset. He surrendered a single to Bud Harrelson and walked Tommie Agee to open the Mets' first and then, after striking out Cleon Jones, Clendenon blasted a 420-foot homer over the right centerfield fence. From then on, it was no contest. The Cardinals' only threat came in the ninth when the first two batters, Lou Brock and Vic Davalillo singled, but Gentry struck out Vada Pinson and got Joe Torre to hit into a game-ending double play. Gentry was immediately mobbed by the entire Mets' team and hundreds of youngsters stormed onto the field and it took a police escort to the get Mets safely into the dugout. A standing room only crowd of 58,587, most of whom had stuck re- ligiously by the Mets over the past eight years, showered the ground with con- fetti and began screaming hysterically, "We're No. 1." Several fans started to dance on top of the dugout while refusing to leave Shea Stadium. Banners were paraded around the field by many of the celebrating fans, some of which expressed the fans' faith in the Mets' chances to beat the Baltimore Orioles in the World Series.

SENATE OVERRIDES AGRICULTURE COMM. AND PASSES FOOD BILL

WASHINGTON -- The Senate overrode the recommendations of one of its most powerful committees Wednesday and voted to give free food stamps to families who earn less than $60 a month. By a 54 to 40 vote, members threw our a food stamp compromise bill offered by the Agriculture Committee and substituted a sweeping package of reforms in the way the nation takes care of its hungry and malnourished. Food stamps are coupons given to the hungry to be redeemed for food at regular prices in grocery stores. Participants in the program can buy $60 worth of stamps for as little as $2. Members of the Agriculture committee have long opposed the concept of free stamps on grounds that the hungry should be fed for free only through traditional agriculture surplus programs — The "breadline" approach.

TRIAL OF CHICAGO EIGHT OPENS AMID ROCK THROWING

CHICAGO -- The trial of eight men charged with conspiring to incite the Democratic National Convention week riots opened Wednesday with the judge ordering the arrest of four defense lawyers and rock-throwing demonstrators clashing with club-swinging police in the streets. At least 13 demonstrators were arrested. Five persons, including two policemen, were injured in melees outside the federal building as U.S. District Court Judge Julius J. Hoffman swept aside a barrage of defense motions and started picking a jury inside the courtroom. Hoffman issued bench warrants for the arrest of the four attor- neys who failed to show up for the opening of the trial and, over strenuous defense motions, accepted sealed transcripts of electronic eavesdropping by government agents against seven of the defendants. The clashes outside the federal building were reminiscent of the street and park battles that wracked the nation's second city during the 1968 convention week when hundreds were injured and arrested.

EGYPTIAN FOREIGN MINISTER WILLfNGI TO MEET WITH ISRAELIS

NEW YORK — Foreign Minister Mahmoud Riad of Egypt indicated Wed- nesday that his country would accept an eventual direct meeting with Israel to finalize a Middle East peace settlement. Riad, displaying an unexpectedly moderate attitude, also made'clear that Egypt does not consider Israeli withdrawal from occupied Arab territory as a pre-condition to the negotiation of a peace settlement. "It should be part of a peace settlement," Riad told news- men. On the subject of negotiating with Israel he said, "Direct negotiations with Israel, while they are occupyingArab territory would mean surrender. We should try to reach a settlement through (U.N. Special Mediator Guimar V.) Jarring. Diplomatic contacts should continue." Riad aligned himself with the United States and the Soviet Union. The two super powers are seeking a "package deal" whose provisions, including Israeli withdrawal, would be implement- ed simultaneously after the agreement was signed.

MEXICAN SPOKESMAN DENIES USE OF GUNS AGAINST STUDENTS

MEXICO CITY - - Police reinforcements patroled around the old campus of the National Polytechnic Institute Wednesday, where five persons were hurt Tuesday night during a student demonstration against the government. A federal spokesman said tear gas and clubs were used to break up the demonstration, involving about 1,000 students, but he denied that police fired any shots. "There were no shots fired at all, of any kind," the federal spokesman said. "Only tear gas and blows were used to disperse the crowd." At least 40 police vehicles, including tanks, were at the area. The rally came on the first anniversary of a battle between students and police a few days before the 1968 Olympic games in Mexico City.

NORTH KOREA REQUESTS MEETING TO DISCUSS SUNKEN GUNBOAT

SEOUL — North Korea Wednesday requested a meeting of the military armistice commission at Panmunjom a few hours after a South Korean destroyer sank a North Korean gunboat in a four-hour battle in the Yellow Sea. The United Nations Command agreed to the session, and it was scheduled for Thursday. The naval battle was expected to be on the agenda, although the North Koreans gave no reason for asking for the meeting. A South Korean communique said the sea battle Wednesday occurred in South Korean territorial waters 30 miles northeast of Huksando Island, about 225 miles southwest of Seoul. The South Korean account of the battle said the North Korean vessel, equipped with rocket launchers and anti-aircraft guns, sank in flames, apparently killing its 15 crewmen. It was the second major sea battle near Huksando in three months. On June 12, South Korean forces sank a 75-ton North Korean vessel and killed most of the 15 crewmen in a six-hour battle.

Golda Meir, in Philadelphiatalk, asks cooperation in Middle East

By ALBAN SALAMAN

Mrs. Golda Meir, Israeli Prime Minister, said Wednesday afternoon her nation wanted peace and cooperation smong Middle East lands.

Speaking at an Independence Hall rally, the 71-year-old grandmother told a cheering crowd of 20,000 Phila- delphians that there was "no joy in winning wars," but rather "joy in peace and work."

"Mothers do not give life to sons and daughters so they may fight and die in wars," the former Milwaukee school teacher said.

Mrs. Meir, who has served as labor minister and foreign affairs minister of Israel, visited Phila- delphia enroute to talks with Presi- dent Nixon. She stayed here over- night and flies to Washington today.

She is expected to ask President Nixon for military hardware, including additional Phantom jets and ground-to-air missiles.

Mrs. Meir was named Prime Min- ister after the death of Levi Eshkol in February, 1969. She came to the United States from Russia at age eight, grew up in Milwaukee, and later taught school there. She became interested in labor and Zionist move- ments and in 1921 emigrated to Pale- stine with her now deceased husband.

During her visit in Philadelphia, the former Israeli ambassador made numerous comparisons about this city's title, "city of brotherly love," and her country's desire for tran- quility.

Activities (Continued from page 1)

the distribution of an additional $12,000 of student money without any kind of prior consideration. Good luck.

The U.S. Department of Health Education and Welfare is investigat- ing the council's allocation of nearly $4,000 to the Society of African and Afro-American Students as a viola- tion of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. No one mentioned it at the meeting.

The Community Involvement Council, and theStudentCommitteeon Undergraduate Hducation were un- represented at the meeting.

The Outing Club, the Armenian Club, and Radical Activities for Love Peace and Happiness all have the same number of votes as Connais- sance, WXPN and the Record--one vote each regardless of the number of members or the nature of the activity.

During the meeting Wednesday night, someone shouted "bring back Joe Cooper," UPSG's last president.

UPSG collapsed because of parlimentary confusion and lack of direction. But its spirit lives on and meets in Stitler Hall.

U. Council (Continued from page 1)

the purpose of the day should be the discussion of the University's relationship to the Vietnam War.

Dr. Robert Davies, a member of the Faculty Senate steering committee and spokesman for the faculty members making the request, commented that the University's relationship to the Vietnam war is "a matter which the University community should be able to express itself on."

"At this time," Davies, who is chairman of the Animal Biology department, remarked "a day set aside for thought, now, is as important as March 4 was then."

At Wednesday's Council meeting, Provost Goddard stated that while he believes there is "a very large seg- ment of the faculty, student body and administration who are opposed to the United States' participation in the Vietnam War," there exists "a difference of opinion within the Univer- sity as to how that opposition can be made manifest.

"Many faculty members and students are opposed to the war but are equally as opposed to the suspension of classes," the provost said.

The provost added that he and President Harnwell "would welcome the views of any students or faculty members" and that these views "will be given full consideration in reaching a decision."

The matronly lady, clad in gray said she hoped some day an Israeli could come to Philadelphia, stand at Independence Square and proclaim "Come to Israel, where peace exists."

"To my sorrow," she said, "I cannot say Israel is preoccupied with turning the desert green. Rather, we must be preoccupied in a struggle for respect for freedom."

She said she comes from a little country, determined to live, united with its land, and never to be sepa- rated again.

Mrs. Meir spoke after viewing the liberty bell and exchanging hona- rary citizenship medallions with Mayor James Tate.

Tight security ringed her appearance for the outdoor address, with a dozen police sharpshooters on rooftops and 300 police in the area.

Earlier, at the airport, she told 5,000 cheering Hebrew school students she "couldn't wish something more meaningful than to come into the United States through Philadelphia —the city where freedom was declared not only for Americans but for all humanity."

On hand for the Independence Hall ceremonies were Abba Eban, Israeli foreign affairs minister, Lt. Gen. Yitshak Rabin, Israeli ambassador to the United States and Gov. Raymond Shafer of Pennsylvania. PRIME MINISTER GOLDA MEIR

Merged fraternity attempts to lure back its brothers who deactivated

By ANITA SAM A

The newly merged Zeta Beta Tau (ZBT) and Phi Sigma Delta (Phi Sig) fraternities held a private dinner meeting Tuesday night in an effort to bring back twenty Phi Slg juniors who deactivated as a result of the merger.

Sixteen of the 20 attended the meeting and six have chosen to re- activate, a source in the fraternity said after the dinner.

The fraternities merged on a national level last spring, but some of the deactivated brothers have questioned the compatibility of the local chapters. They pointed out that ZBT at the University has acquired a reputation for conservatism, while the Phi Sig chapter here has especially in the past year, been known for its liberal leanings.

After the national merger, Lee Saltzman, Phi Sig president, and Steve Brawer, ZBT president, worked out the details of the local combination.

Saltzman reported no major problems in the new living arrange- ments at the ZBT house where members of both fraternities now live,

saying, "It is more a matter of people not knowing each other than disliking each other."

One of the juniors who left Phi Sig, Bill Rakoff, said the deactivation was a result of "ideological differences, high social dues, and the restrictive meal plan system."

Mike Schlesinger, another deactivated junior from Phi Sig, agreed with Rakoff and added, "the two ideas of the fraternities were completely different. Phi Sig thought of their house as a place to talk and eat with their friends, while ZBT thought of the fraternity as something more."

At the dinner meeting onTuesday, Seltzman and Brawer made a few introductory remarks which were followed by questions from the 16 brothers. Some complained about the meal plan at ZBT which includes a flat fee for twelve meals a week. The co-presidents proposed a con- cession on the plan with a propor- tional decrease in the cost. This new plan can only go into effect, however, if Len Malmud, the ZBT alumni representative, approves it.

Several of the Phi Sig brothers who left also cited the high social dues as a reason, but no concessions

will be made by the ZBT members on the $4,000 social budget, which also Includes maintenance of the house.

The rush system is another point of difference between the fraternities. At Phi Sig, rushing has decreased in importance to the point that Saltz- man said he probably would have done away with pledging this year.

Until last year, however, ZBT still operated under the "one ball" system for ad.nission. This system was outlawed by the interfraternity Council(IF) last year.

David Rosenberg, a ZBT member, said, "No new policy has been made official at this time. We are cogni- zant of the IF requirements and plan to fully comply with them."

Rosenberg also said many of the juniors had planned to deactivate for a variety of reasons not connected with the ZBT merger. He suggested that they might have deactivated from the old Phi Sig or the fraternity system itself.

Saltzman said "The old by-laws of both fraternities will be scuttled and new ones will be drawn up taking points from each, so I can't report th5 position of the new house until

we can have a general meeting of the brotherhood."

Concerning the effort being made toward bringing back the estranged juniors, Saltzman says, "My concept of fraternity combines social and educational aspects of the University, and I think the 20 gentlemen would be interested as I feel their influence has been positive since they promoted the progressive changes in the old Phi Sig."

Last year, the houses of both ZBT and Phi Sig were not filled to capacity. The men of Alpha Sigma Phi however, had no house because theirs had been damaged by vandalism. They approached Martin Duffy, assistant dean of men for fraternity affairs, with their problem and he in turn appealed to the men of the two merged fraternities to move into the ZBT house. This made the Phi SigHouse available for the 25 home- less men of Alpha Sig.

Duffy said that he "felt that the residential needs of 25 fellows were more important than the social needs of the others." Also the local merger was "financially obvious," because the ZBT house at 235 S. 39th Street was able to operate to full capacity this year.

Return of the Wall

BARBARA FEAREY

By ELLEN WEBER

The new Fine Arts Build- ing, whose contraction was responsible for the creation and the demise of The Wall, (the now-legendary display of creative graffiti) has once again provided Penn's artistsaplace to exhibit their talents.

A tour of the building will convince the viewer that despite the 1968 auction of the paint-thickened wooden wall that surrounded the con- struction site at 34th and Walnut, Penn's Fine Arts students have not allowed their creative energies to be hidden in museums and galleries. They are displayed freely and permanently throughout the Fine Arts Building.

Entering the structure through the doors facing Van Pelt Library, you are escorted up the stairwell by a continuous stream of

lifesize figures drawn on the walls and windows; there are even painted forms "ly- ing' ' on the stairs and' 'lean- ing" over the bannisters.

Many of the portraits are extremely realistic, such as the black and white sketch of a female motor- cyclist racing into the sil- houette of a man backed into the corner. At the top of that set of stairs a girl stands thumbing her nose, one leg "resting" on the bannister and one foot actually painted on the floor.

Besides being artistic, the astute masters of the stairway, like those of The Wall, have penetrated the social scene. One red and black image contemplates leaping out the window; another character offer a newspaper marked "DP" and headlined "Bad News." On the third floor landing, a man sits on a toilet, de- scribed as "The only man in this building who knows

what he's doing." If your stair-climbing

endurance gets you past the fourth floor, you'll discover one of the most memorable productions in the building: Illuminated by the light from the window "hangs" a figure of Christ, outlined in black with a blue skeleton inside.

But there is more in the Fine Arts building besides this amazing passageway. Here is esthetic graffiti. Throughout the glass and brick edifice, we find the opinions of the young archi- tects. Where a deep hole for a light switch reveals plaster and wires, one young observer has written "Nice Detail." And on the front stairway, another artist remarks "What beautiful de- tailing!"

BAILEY YOUNG

The anthropologists have not forgotten the museum pieces either. For example, drawn next to a fire extinguisher cabinet is a plaque with the inscription:

"Fire Extinguisher American Mid 20th Century Donated by G.S.A."

Just as The Wall con- tained thought provoking questions and profound pro- verbs the Fine Arts de- signers have not let us down. "Why doesn't the whole world become a visual aid?" asks one. And a poet de- clares, "The world does not exist to those who don't see.''

The Wall is not dead. It is alive and well in the Fine Arts Building.

that they "have been and will continue to be active in their personal efforts to see that more adequate funds become available to the School District for public education."

Bernard Wolf man, chairman of the Faculty Senate, said Wednesday that the Trustees statement was a "very understanding" response to the concerns of the Senate.

And the graying professor of law added, "It seems to me that the trustees and the Senate are in accord with respect to the University's primary mission and the relationship to the various world, national and local communities which it serves in various ways."

William L. Day, chairman of the board of trustees, said Wednesday that the statement was prepared during the middle of the summer, and that it wasn't released until now because "no one was in school."

To cancel or not to cancel • ••

Despite President Nixon's muddled attempts to lessen United States involvement in the Vietnam War, the 20-year conflict continues unabated in Southeast Asia, and is daily claiming the lives of American soldiers drafted to fight an unjustified and unjusti- fiable war.

Vietnam involvement must end and end before it succeeds in destroying an entire generation of American men for a cause which is in no way American.

But if President Nixon is to take action to end the war, he must understand the depth and breadth of the antiwar feeling; he must understand the rationale for immediately ending American involvement in Vietnam.

October 15 — a day of national moratorium on daily activities — is such an attempt to enlighten President Nixon on the ex- tent of antiwar feeling in this country. October 15, on campuses across the nation, will be a day of discussion and a day of action; it will be a day of demonstrations and meetings; it will be a day of rededication to the antiwar cause.

Yesterday we called on Provost Goddard to cancel classes on October 15 to allow the students, faculty and administration time to discuss the war in all its implications for

both the University and the country. Provost Goddard, in an announcement at yesterday's Council meeting, declined to take a definitive stand on calling off classes. Instead he said he wished to hold his decision until he had heard more of the opinions of the campus community.

Dr. Goddard's hedging maneuvers are regrettable and actually surprising from a provost known throughout the University for his strong-willed decision making. Need- less to say, we are disappointed in Dr. Goddard's apparent spinelessness on this issue.

The provost, of course did not preclude the possibility that he would call off classes at some future time; he did say that he would not make such a decision without more discussion by members of the University.

We urge every interested party — students, faculty, and administrators — to individually or collectively write to the provost asking him to cancel classes to allow for discussion throughout the Univer- sity. The war in Vietnam cannot be ig- nored by an educational institution which preens itself on its relevance to the world at large. We urge Provost Goddard to recognize October 15 as a day of education and enlightenment.

Letters to the Editor

Editor's note: The following is an open letter sent from thePhila- delphia Community Union to mem-

bers of the Quadripartite Commis- sion.

Gentlemen: The Philadelphia Community

Union finds that after seven months of existence, the Quadripartite Com- mission of the University of Penn- sylvania has failed to meet its commitments to the people of the communities of West Philadelphia.

WHEREAS the supply of housing in West Philadelphia continues to be diminished by closing, condemnation, and demolition for expansion of institutions into new areas; and

WHEREAS theQuadripartiteCom- mission has taken no significant steps to halt this process;

WHEREAS no portion of the $10 million grant which was to be provided for the communities by the trustees of the University of Penn- sylvania has been raised to-date;

WHEREAS the promise of community control and determination of future programs has not been honored;

WHEREAS The Quadripartite Commission has failed to meet its stated commitments to respond to the Philadelphia Community Union's presentation made before it on May 26 in order to implement community determination of future programs;

WE THEREFORE DEMAND 1. A public accounting for the

$125,000 that has been spent by the Quadripartite Commission, an itemi- zation of the decisions taken inclosed meetings, and of the programs funded with the above monies;

2. An immediate public commit- ment from the trustees of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania to honor their agreement with the student "Com- munity of Demonstrators" to provide a grant of $10 million to the people of the communities, who will themselves determine its use;

3. An immediate public commit- ment by the Quadripartite Commis- sion to oppose and to halt all closing, condemnation, and demolition of housing, in Area 5 or elsewhere in Uni- versity City;

4. The immediate acceptance and implementation of the Philadelphia Community Union's proposals of May

26, 1969, for determination of future programs directly by the people of the affected communities, in open public meetings.

IF THE QUADRIPARTITE COM- MISSION IS UNABLE TO ADOPT DEMOCRATIC PROPOSALS SUCH AS THOSE PRESENTED BY THE PHILA- DELPHIA COMMUNITY UNION, IT HAS PROVED ITS INABILITY TO FULFILL ITS STATED FUNCTION, AND DOES NOT HAVE THE LEGIT- IMACY TO CONTINUE MAKING DE- CISIONS FOR THE COMMUNITY.

GOLDA MEIR VISIT

Sir: Mrs. Golda Meir, the Prime Minister of Israel, arrived here Wednesday afternoon on her way to meet President Nixon in Washington.

In the light of press reports which indicate she brings no plan for con- ciliation but a shopping list for arms, Arab students in Philadelphia issued the following remarks:

1—Mrs. Meir was quoted in a June 15 interview in the London Times as saying that, "They (the Palestinians) did not exist." But, as Mrs. Meir knows, there were some 1.3 million Palestine Arabs living in Palestine at the time o f Israel's creation.

These Palestinians have in 20 years grown to nearly 3 million people, part of whom are ruled by Mrs. Meir's own military occupation government. More Palestinians live in involuntary exile in neighboring Arab countries and in a diaspora spreading throughout the world, even to this city.

2—Although Zionists claim they want to save Jews from persecution and discrimination, the state they established has introduced these practices against the native Palestinian populace. Since its in- ception, this oppression has created a conflict which endangers Jew and Arab alike.

3—America's provision of Phan- tom jets and other arms for Israel to use against the people of Palestine and its neighbors cannot be viewed by Arabs as anything but an unfriendly act. This is contrary to traditional American values and interests, and undermines efforts for peace in the Middle East.

Looking to the future, Arabs believe that reasonable men must seek a solution to the Middle East impasse which all Palestinians (Christians, Muslims, and Jews) can share equally.

The Arab students in Philadelphia support this proposal and ask Ameri- cans—especially American Jews—to join in supporting this plan for reconciliation.

COLLEGE HALL TRASH

Sir; The area between College Hall and Van Pelt is rapidly taking on the appearance of a pig-sty. Newspapers, soda bottles, cups, and general trash are daily strewn over the campus while empty or partially filled trash containers stand-by little used.

The individual who has no aware- ness of the aesthetic implications of senseless mess like this has no right complaining about smog or water pollution. From an economic stand- point, the cost to the University for cleaning up is considerable. With concerted effort, students could help to reduce this cost, with possible benefit to themselves.

The trash filled campus green in front of Van Pelt is not an encouraging affirmation of the meaningful environ- mental concern exemplified by the College Hall sit-in early last spring.

Postponed law exam is reslated By JAMES W/LCOX

An exam for second-year law students which was indefinitely sus- pended by Law School Dean Jefferson Fordham earlier this month has been rescheduled for Monday. But, students are being given the choice of fulfilling whatever modified requirements may be adopted by next year instead of taking the exam Monday. The exam, originally scheduled for Sept. 8, had been the object of a student boycott.

Following the regular meeting of the Law School Faculty last week, Vice-Dean James Strazella released a four point statement stipulating that:

—the Summer Reading exam would be given on Monday at 2 P.M. to second and third-year students who wished to take the exam then.

-that the Dean would refer the

One or two page statement of one s educational objectives in the school plus any pertinent information is due by 12 noon, Monday, Sept. 29, at the:

—that after faculty action upon the recommendation, any revisions should go into effect in the next aca- demic year.

—and that those second-year students who choose not to take the examination Monday must comply with those requirements.

In order not to take the examination next Monday, a student must fill out a form and deliver it to the office of the vice-dean today. Straz- zella said that it did not appear that a "flock" of students have chosen not to take the exam so far.

On September 8, as support for a spontaneous boycott of the law exam grew, Fordham had announced an in- definite suspension of the exam. The test had been designed to cover material from "The Life of Law," a text written by University professor John Honnold, and which was

required summer reading for all second-year law students. Com- plaints had included the contention that "this exam could be considered demeaning if it were given solely to test the fact that the book had been read, and that because of its objective format it concerned super- ficial knowledge rather than an individual's prowess in legal matters.

With Brown the lone holdover starter in the secondary, the Quakers' figure to get a stiff test from Buck- nell signal caller Greg Doviak, a former high school All-American. Doviak started on defense for the Bisons a year ago while playing behind since graduated Sam Havrilak.

"They'll try to exploit our defense. They'll test our secondary," Odell warned.

"We better be on our toes or we're going to have a lot of trouble. They'll have fire in their eyes."

But the Quakers won't be hiding when the whistle blows Saturday.

"Our seniors are anxious to prove themselves," the coach noted. "They want to pick up where they left off last year."

Backfields face pressure tests Sat. in Bucknell initiation

74 freshmen vie for starting spots on football team

By JOHN WERTHEIMER Last year's freshman football team went into its final game, 6-0, with the

chance to top the best yearling mark ever, which was, and still is, 6-0. The 1969 squad will have no such chance, as its schedule calls for only five games.

The cutting of the schedule reflects a change of philosophy in the football program. Coach Ken Millen explained that the new idea is "to get the freshman involved in the servicing programof thevarsity, that is, in practice having the frosh simulate an opponent's offense while the varsity defense practices, or vice versa."

Millen also noted that in the past, with the seven game schedule, more time was spent in preparation for games than in teaching the yearlings skills they might find useful later in their careers.

The 1969 schedule has five of the teams that the Red and Blue frosh

.beat last fall, while omitting victim Lafayette and conqueror West Ches- ter. It gets' underway October 18, when the not so Big Red of Cornell visit Franklin Field. The Quakers' next three games will be away, at Princeton October 25, at Temple October 30, and at Lehigh November 8. Columbia will be Penn's final opponent, November 14 at Franklin Field.

With the season opener three weeks away, the frosh squad is still in its formative stages, with no positions set as of yet. Millen noted that 90 candidates originally reported, 74 of whom still remain. There are no cuts, he said, only drop-offs. All those who stay on the squad will suit up for the home games. In addition, two "B" games have been scheduled, so that almost all of the large squad can get some game ex- posure. These contests will be played at PMC October 31 and home with Drexe) November 7.

While noting that all positions are still being fought for, and that he is still testing for two-way players, Millen was able to name some of the early practice standouts. Most prominent on the line is tackle Chris Fisher, of Suffield, Connecticut, who also punts, kicks offs, and place kicks. Among the leading backs are locals Rick Mellor, of Penn Charter, and Bill Wilson, of Episcopal Aca- demy, in addition to Pete Russert, of Hollywood, Florida, and Dan Wheeler, who played high school ball in Wilkes- Barre, Pa., but lives inCartersville, Georgia.

There are 11 contenders for the quarterback slot. "Although nobody has been selected," emphasizedMil- len, "the leaders appear to be Mark Malinowski, Marion Roberts, Gary Shue and Ron Fulop."

The coach noted one other oddity; Frank and Gene Armao, twin brothers of varsity starting guard Joe, are both doing well in their battles for an offensive guard and a linebacking post, respectively.

By MARVIN DASH

"I'll be glad when Saturday comes around to find out how we will react to pressure," defensive backfield coach Larry Glueck noted Wednesday after the Quaker gridders completed a brisk two hour workout.

Glueck's secondary isn't the lone question mark as the Penn football team preps for its 1969 opener against Bucknell. iajurie s and graduation have stripped the Quakers' offensive backfield, and Bob Odell, who will be in his 100th geme as a head coach is also concerned with the linebackers and defensive tackles.

The offensive line has looked good all during the pre-season drills, and Odell was impressed with the jobs done by defensive ends Charley Ketchey and Ben Gifford in this past Saturday's scrimmage against Am- herst.

Linebacker Mark Warner, recently named defensive captain, and corner back John Brown stood out on defense, according to Odell.

Odell was encouraged, too, when associate coach Bill Wrabley, who heads up the defensive unit, reported that Wednesday's workout was the best defensive practice all year.

Also, kicking star Eliot Berry limbered up his instep by splitting the upights soccer-style from 35-40 yards out, and he, too, is set for action.

Still, Odell had a few anxious moments on the field as sophomore left halfback Bob Long hurt his hand during a goalline drill. At first it was thought that Longbroke his right hand (he had fractured it in high school), but the team doctor diag- nosed the injury as a bruise, and Long should be in shape for action Saturday.

Even with Long available forduty, the Quakers' offensive backfield is thin. Senior Bob Monahan, who figured to be the Red and Blue's starting left halfback, is out with both a groin and hamstring pull. Monahan hasn't practiced in over a week, and according to Odell, it doesn't look like he'll be back Saturday. Reserves Roy Supulskiand Paul Visokey are also sidelined with injuries.

the skipper explained. "He's been a hard worker, and he's probably one of the fastest men we have." The 5-10, 190 pound senior has seen action on both offense and defense during the past two seasons.

Defensively, the Penn backfield has also been hit with a rash of injuries. Both Matt Lawlor and Steve Steinberg, a starter in 1968, have bad knees, and each has missed a lot of work.

Veteran senior Brown has been shifted to George Burrell's old left cornerback position this fall, and Mike Brumbach, the only soph who has gained a starting berth in the Quaker lineup, holds down Brown's old corner spot on the right side. Junior Steve Kenover, the secondary's toughest tackier, according to Glueck, will be the strong-side safety.

Carmen Cozza Tom Neville

Eye on the Ivies

Elis howl for Brian, Cal (Lost of a series)

COACHING: Head coach Carmen Cozza enters his fifth season at Yale, carrying an imposing record with him. His Eli teams have shown steady improvement since he took over the top spot in 1965. His first squad was 3-6, his second 4-5. The past two campaigns the Elis were 8-1 and 8-0-1, winning the Ivy League title outright in 1967 and sharing the crown with Harvard last season. Over a two year period Yale compiled 16 consecutive victories, the longest winning streak in the nation, until 1968*s memorable 29-29 deadlock with the Crimson. Cozza played both baseball and football, at Miami of Ohio, and served as his alma mater's freshman football coach for two years, succeeding John Pont, who moved up to the head coaching position. Co- incidentally Cozza succeeded Pont again at Yale, when Pont left for Indiana.

OFFENSE: Nine starters are gone from the Ivies' top offense of a year ago. Quarterback Brian Dowling and halfback Calvin Hill will be the most sorely missed, and the offense will definitely lack the explosiveness of the last few seasons. On the plus side, guard is the strongest position with four veterans back. Lew Roney is the only experienced end, and Buzzy Potts and Bob Kropke are experienced

runners. Junior Joe Massey, who saw limited action behind Dowling last fall, is the leading candidate to quarterback the Eli T-formation attack. Cozza is also looking for tackles, a center, and more backfield help.

DEFENSE: Yale's defense, basically a five-man front with a monster back who functions as a combination linebacker-defensive back, was the Ivies stiffest against the run and second best overall in 1968. The unit was also hit hard by graduation as six starters are gone, but captain and linebacker Andy Coe, tackle Tom Neville, monster back Ron Kell, and end Jim Gallagher provide experience. Kurt Schmoke is slated for a berth in the secondary, while Milt Puryear and John Biancamano are battling for a middle guard slot. Sophs will have to help out elsewhere on the line and at linebacker.

OUTLOOK: Anytime a team loses two players of the caliber of Dowling and Hill it is in trouble. Yale is no ex- ception. The Elis have been at the top the past couple of years, but they will do well to finish in the first division. Too many sophs from a winless frosh team will make too many mistakes; the only Eli hope is in defense. The offense won't score much, so the defense will have to do a job to

keep Yale in the ballgame. . . MARyIN DASH

By E. MADY KUTCHER It was the kind of day that makes

you wish that fall was a year-long experience. The warm, fresh-smell- ing air, the clear blue sky posed delicately over the inviting, bouncy- looking green fields, the trees twinged with just enough red to make you know that autumn had come, made Bryn Mawr's campus a lovely place to be.

But, the picture was not so bright for the Bryn Mawr girls.

In a dazzling show of strength and talent, Penn's varsity and JV women's field hockey teams repeatedly worked the ball past the weaker Bryn Mawr's squads to overwhelming shut them out, 6-0 and 7-0 respectively.

Penn's spirited varsity dominated the game right from the start with the powerful forward line, led by co- captain Anne Love and freshman wing Donna Webster rushing the Bryn Mawr goal to score in just eight minutes of play.

Coach Faye Bardman's half-time comments sent a sizzling Penn squad back to score three more goals in seven minutes. But the Penn onslaught

was not over, as sophomore Antoinette McNichol went on to score twice more before the whistle. Scorers for the Penn team wereMiss Love (2), sophomore Susie Adams, and Miss McNichol (3). Sophomore Brigette Long and Miss Webster were out- Standing as ball handlers.

In an instant-replay action, theJV team quickly gained control of the ball and held it. Sophomore center Christie Moore was unstoppable as she pushed into the Bryn Mawr de- fenses to score four times. The entire front line looked good, with freshman Barbara Hitschler contrib- ting two goals and sophomore Gwen Mitchell one.

Coach "Sardman, excited after Tuesday's victories, looks forward optimistically to the next match, with Eastern Baptist, Friday on Hill Hall field.

If Tuesday's showing is any indica- tion of Penn's strength, field hockey fans can eagerly look forward to the upcoming matches against physical education powerhouses Ursinus and West Chester. This year they might be real contests.

Whither thou tendest by William K. Mandel Mark Twain pointed out about eighty years ago that two

things in life were unavoidable—death and taxes. Were Mr. Clemens alive today, he'd expand that duo to a trio— death, taxes, and the draft.

The American system of involuntary conscription has moulded a great deal of your life. Today, some of the time honored draft shelters are being torn down, exposing graduate students, married men and fathers to a two-year hitch in the Army, while the Selective Service System itself has come under heavy attack from the public, and in Congress.

Being a draftee is a very dangerous career. Inductees account for only 15.7% of total armed forces strength, but 36% of Army fatalities in Vietnam. Below the surface, the draft is working major damage on the fabric of Ameri- can life. A drafted man is pulled out of the business world for two years at the very dawn of his advancement poten- tial; he either leaves a young, unproven marriage behind, or puts off marriage entirely until after he has served. With the elimination of fatherhood deferments (III-A) for college graduates, men must now take Uncle Sam into consultation before having children. Most male college students plan their post-graduate careers around the draft's requirements.

Below these life-disfiguring consequences, the draft imposes other burdens on its chosen: a man about 24 can expect a pay cut of 85 percent from his civilian salary. Young men who do not attend college because of economic, social or intellectual circumstances are fla- grantly discriminated against by the present draft system —so much so that black representation on the front lines in Vietnam is three times the proportion of blacks in American society.

Divided national opinion over the Vietnam war has revealed the glaring inefficiencies and inequities of the selective service as never before; in earlier wars, Ameri-

cans were too concerned with the rightousness of their cause to worry about fair conscription procedures. But regardless of the moral correctness of the draft and its system, most national leaders see the need for a standing armed force large enough to meet national commitments. Barring the unlikely possibility that enlistments will increase dramatically in the near future—given the current quality of life offered to volunteers—they say a draft seems the only way to guarantee such a standing force.

Given the dissatisfaction that does exist with the selective service system and the (contradictory) need to maintain a large permanent force, the logical courses of action are to reform the draft system, or establish a new method for raising forces. To these ends, a number of bills have been introduced in Congress to provide for the overhaul of the draft system, or for the abolition of the present system entirely.

REFORM With minor exceptions, draft reform bills introduced

since the Vietnam buildup four years ago have paralleled one another astonishingly. The flurry of such bills abated somewhat after Lyndon Johnson's swansong in March, 1968, but the continuing deadlock at the Paris peace talks has killed early hopes that the draft would atrophy by itself after the anticipated outbreak of peace. In recent months, though, reform bills have proliferated once again. All of them contain—in some form or another—provisions dealing with the following areas:

Youngest first' Operating under the Selective Training and Service Act of 1967, the Selective Service System (SSS) drafts the oldest eligible men first. Before the Vietnam war put enormous strains on the draft-eligible pool, the average age of an inductee was 23.7 years; today, the average age is 20.5 years. The period of uncertainty

WOODSHOCKED REVISITED

Sirs: I was delighted to note your out- standing coverage of our future Aquarian Exploitation (to be held in Arizona from August 17-22, 1970) and wish to further enlighten your audience on several matters untouched by your reporters' human hands.

Most important is the real reason we cannot get rich from this festival. In order to get a permit, we had to agree to split the proceeds with a prominent citizen, whose name I can't mention. Let it suffice to note that your reporters used "CONSERVATIVE estimates of the size of the crowd" and alluded to the GOLD WATER which abounded at the campsite. Enough said?

A more pleasant event which I wish to point out is that the census takers (1970 is a census year, remember?) finally got around to Arizona--from August 17-22. As a result, the Grand Canyon State will be sending 189 Con-

SOCK IT TO NORMAN LAWRENCE Sirs: This is to acknowledge Norman Lawrence's article Young Americans for Freedom Convene SOCK IT TO THE LEFT. Having attended the national convention in St. Louis too, I must say that his coverage of those four days was, although a good outline of what happened, lacking an important point.

Although there were dissenting elements in attendance, the aftermath shows that YAF is still a responsible, united force against insurrective elements in the community as well as on the campus.

Perhaps Norman Lawrence's view of overall national unification was ob- structed by his nearness to the state of Pennsylvania delegation. As former Philadelphia YAF Chairman, 1 can attest to the fact that although there have for a long time been differences of opinion within the state organization, the past has shown that the expression of these differences has been a regenerative

gressmen to Washington in January. (New York, Pennsylvania, and California suffered corresponding losses in representation.)

Thirdly, your reporters forgot to mention the Exploitation Sweepstakes, won by the children of Mr. and Mrs. Irene (that's his name) Schwartz of Buz ard Gulch, Montana (incorrectly reported by your people as Buz ard Gulch, Minnesota). The little darlings won a year-long, all expenses paid vacation in a North Korean prison camp. Upon receiving word of their children's good fortune, Mr. and Mrs. (her name is Herkimer) Schwartz began singing, dancing, and attempting to leap across the Grand Canyon.

As for the historical, political, aesthetic, psychological, re.'igious, and sociological significance of the whole thing, who says there's any?

Sincerely, Lawrence Norman

factor in our getting out and doing our job more effectively. In the end, YAF always winds up being a united body.

Mr. Lawrence did not place undo emphasis on the part that YAF will play in counteracting campus disorder this year. We here at Pennsylvania hope that there will be no need to take action. We hope that those on the Left will take their arguments through the many channels open to them. However, if they decide to do otherwise, they may be assured that Young Americans for Freedom will be there, in strength, united against any impending disruption.

Anyone wishing more information on YAF may contact me at the above address. Conservatively yours,

The Draft, continued, between registration for the draft at 18 and final knowledge of your fate makes planning a career or a family a chancy business. Draft reform bills unanimously call for the drafting of youngest men frst to eliminate eternal insecurity about the future. Defense officials heartily applaud this suggestion, pointing out that young men (optimum age: 19) are more amenable to military training and discipline, and thus make better soldiers.

Several of the bills would restrict the eligibility period to one year (between the 19th and 20th birth- days) to further reduce the span of uncertainty. If a man reached his 20th birthday without being drafted, he could plan for the future without the Army looking over his shoulder. President Nixon recently moved toward drafting youngest men first by executive order, but told Congress to take permanent action.

Centralizalion As the United States prepared for World War I, President Woodrow Wilson donned a blindfold—so he couldn't peek--and reached into a glass fishbowl to pick the first draftee of the modern era. Franklin Roosevelt did the same at the start of World War II. Although neither blindfolds nor fishbowls are now evident at Selective Service headquarters in Washington, critics of the present system contend the same operational philosophy is at work.

The SSS is comprised of 4,084 local boards staffed by volunteer members -- residents of the areas

the boards serve -- and paid clerical workers. The local boards make all decisions on

registrants, including deferments, classifications, and calls to duty. Originally, the intention of staffing the boards with local volunteers was to insure the registrant fair treatment. The board members would be familiar with regional conditions that national headquarters could never learn; they would also know the registrant personally,and judge each case on its individual worth. Somehow, over the course of 40 years, this system has broken down. Each of New York City's 68 local boards, for example, handles over 20,000 registrants; gigantism has afflicted other local boards, most notably North Hollywood, California, where one board deals with 55,000 registrants.

Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy says, "We have abided by the fiction that local boards are 'little groups of neighbors' too long. The registrants are strangers to the board members, and the board members are strangers to the registrants."

The original ideal of geographic identity between board members and registrants has not been fulfilled. Although members of the boards all live in the cities they serve, ghetto area boards have less than 1% minority group representation; members are all from "better" sections of the city.

Reformers propose a national headquarters with ultimate authority, and a sub-system of 400 regional offices equipped to provide registrants with information and guidance about the draft. The regional offices would be staffed by trained professionals, not the volunteer amateurs now running the system. Every reform bill also calls for the use of modern electronic data processing equipment to update the working of the draft, and the replacement of SSS director General Louis B. Hershey. Recent news reports say President Nixon plans to "retire" Hershey, but final action has not been forthcoming.

Standards The 4,084 local boards make their decisions based on directives issued from SSS headquarters, but in very few cases are binding national criteria available. Deferments for education, hardship or occupation are granted almost by whim — cases with identical circumstances may be treated different ways by different boards. In New York City, for example, elementary school teachers are given occupational deferments (II-A) while in Minneapolis they are not. Hardship cases are decided not on statistical guideknes, but again on the caprice of the board members. Only four-year college deferments (II-S) are required by law; deferments for other educational pursuits are available with the indulgence of the board, not by legislation. Reform measures provide for the listing of national-priority occupations on which to base occupational deferments, standardization of hardship deferments by the use of statistically accurate economic guidelines, and extension of educational deferments to include students enrolled in two-year (junior) colleges, community colleges, trade schools, and apprentice programs.

The recent abolition of graduate school deferments (II1-S) to equalize the burden of the draft on educated and non-educated registrants was met with predictions of graduate school decimation. Wholesale drafting of graduate students has not materialized, although the percentage of college graduates among draftees rose from 5% to 16% in the last 18 months. Registrants who have received educational deferments are now eligible for the draft until their 35th birthday (everyone else is subject to be drafted until their 26th birthday). Reformers suggest continuation of these policies.

In a class by itself is the conscientious objector (l-O) deferment. Due to a recent Supreme Court ruling, registrants who oppose war on moral grounds that do not stem from religious belief are now eligible for al-O deferment if they can prove their beliefs are "parallel" to those of a conscientious objector who believes in God. Reform bills continue the present provisions, and extend the practice of allowing 1-0 registrants to perform alternative, non- military service such as hospital work.

lottery system, says its advocates, would completely eliminate the human factor in choosing men for the draft, thus making the system as fair as possible.

Summary Draft reform bills which provide for the retention of the present conscription matrix, but call for major revision within the system contain the following points: draft the youngest eligible men first, centralize the administration of the selective service; standardize criteria used for deferment, classification and call-up; and provide a fair (perhaps random) method of selecting draftees. Other bills have been introduced which include other provisions while not including these -- for example, a bill sponsored by Congressman Kastenmeier of New York which would require written permission from drafted soldiers before they could be sent into combat in an undeclared war (such as Vietnam) -- buc congressional observers cite the above points as those likely to be en- acted.

"Today, some of the time honored draft shelters are being torn down, exposing graduate students, married men and fathers to a two-year hitch in the Army, while the Selective Service System itself, to as come under heavy attack from the public."

ABOLITION Lottery Under the present law, the Defense De-

partment predicts its manpower needs for a certain month, deducts from that figure the number of anticipated enlistments, and comes up with the "draft call" - the number of men to be called to fill the quota. The glamorous Navy and Air Force always meet their manpower requirements with volunteers; the Marine Corps takes about 2% of the draft crop, and the Army takes the rest. National SSS headquarters then divides the draft call among the local boards, and assigns each board a number of men to be drafted. Exactly who is called is then a matter for the boards to decide, with little outside interference.

Several of the reform bills provide for a random process of selection, called a lottery. Under a lottery system, the names of eligible registrants would be placed in a common pool - either nationally or by region -- and a chance system of choice would be used to select those names to be called. The method used could be completely random --an electronic descendant of theglass-fishbowl- and-blindfold method — or be based on some arbitrary but unalterable criterion, such as date of birth. The

"Conscription is involuntary servitude, plain and simple," charges Oregon Senator Mark Harfield. "It is the complete usurpation by the government of an individual's freedom of choice."

Many critics of the draft maintain that involuntary induction violates a basic, traditional American ideal. They argue chat no man should be taken forcibly from his career, his home, and his family and placed in the armed forces against his will. At the same time, they recognize the need for a permanent armed force large enough to maintain a strong American military posture. Enlistments now account for 83% of total defense manpower needs, but only 67% of the Army's. Moreover, enlishments would decline if the threat of the draft did not force young men into volunteering --in order to have choice of service -- before being drafted. To offer an alternative to the present system while assuring the services of the manpower required, several bills have been introduced in Congress to abolish the draft entirely, and substitute which woula attract enough volunteers to fill the Defense Department's personnel needs without resort of draftees, n short a

completely volunteer army. These bills — like the reform bills are extremly similar in the measures they require. All of the bills provide for a skeleton draft system to act as back-up mechanism should the required number of volunteers not. All young men would be required to register with the Army, and a Presidential order could reinstitute the draft at any time.

To attract young men to volunteer for the Army, the following inducements have been suggested: pay scales that compete with equivalent civilian jobs (some enlisted men now support their families on welfare payments), improve housing facilities for soldiers and their families, recreational facilities, fringe benefits (vacations, retirement plan, group insurance, sick pay, free travel, etc.), faster promotions and an upgrade in the military image, which would range from better public relations to snappier uniforms.

Opponents of the volunteer army raise objections to this proposal, among which are the cost, the possibility of the army becoming a *'black army,*' and the threat of increased military influence on everyday American life. Defenders of the volunteer army believe that even if these charges proved true, the disruptive and repressive nature of the present draft system justifies an all-volunteer army. They argue, however, that the charges can be dis- proveru

Cost The cost of implementing the proposed im- provements has been estimated at between $4 and $17 billion a year. Each draftee (there were 296,406 last year) now costs $6000 to train, and 97% leave the Army after their two year tour of duty. By requiring volunteers to serve longer terms under the new system -- various bills call for terms ranging from five to ten years --a large saving would be realized as the time-in-training to time-in-service ratio increased. Additionally, the cost of operating the SSS would be eliminated as that organization was mothballed. The greatest economy, though, is hidden. Young men who would have been drafted under the old system would be making better salaries in civilian jobs than they would have made in the Army, thus producing more, paying more taxes, and giving the volunteer army an indirect subsidy.

All Black Advocates of the volunteer army recognize that blacks and other non-white minority groups in America are economically depressed, thus raising the possibility of a black rush to enlist in a volunteer army which offered higher pay and increased monetary se-

curity. They dismiss this danger as light though, pointing to figures which show present enlisments mirroring the black-white ratio in society as a whole. There is no reason to assume that whites would not also be attracted to the new army, thus maintaining a fairly even balance.

Military influence Nearly all of today's officer corps are career men. The volunteer army would replace temporary (drafted) privates and non-commissioned of- ficers with career soldiers. While this would cause a rise in the esprit and morale of the Army, the threat to civilian life would not increase. It is inconceivable to imagine an uprising of career privates. The present professional soldiers will remain, only the sub-structure will be changed, and perhaps strengthened.

An argument that volunteer army proponents cannot refute is the possibility of attracting marginal personnel. Past attempts at phasing out draftees in favor of volunteers (for example, between World War II and Korea) have shown that personnel of poor quality enlist when there is no real compulsion to do so. These people couldn't or wouldn't make a success in the civilian world, and turned to the Army for a steady job and three meals a day. Spon- sors of a volunteer army hope that increased incentives will attract the technically sophisticated personnel the Army needs.

All of these proposals -- both those for reform and abolition -- areawaitingactionbeforetheSenateand House Armed Services Committees. There seems some pro- spect for fast action because the committees are finished with appropriations bills and, more importantly, because both the President and party leaderships have requested rivisions in the draft as soon as the war trickles to a close. There are several congressional figures pushing for immediate action -- among them Senators Kennedy and McGovern, Congressmen Koch and Brown-- but the resis- tance to "premature" change seems strong.The President promised a volunteer army during his election campaign and has sent Congress a message recommending such a plan, but not until the war is over.

So, in the meantime, draft calls are drifting towards the highest peak in six years (Nixon revoked Laird's calls from pure embarrassment), dissent and its concomitant repression are on the rise, Congress is waiting for the other shoe to drop in Paris (or Hanoi, or Moscow, or Peking), young men are planning their lives around the draft's demands, and the SSS — General Hershey, old, old General Hershey --is going its made, creaking way, sticking its finger in your pie, and the pie of every Amer- can young man now alive.

Abbey Stage Door

Don't Drink the Water by Gail Gordon

Besides being an often-repeated warning to Penn freshman who, until September, hxd had the good fortune not to sample Philadelphia's chlorine substitute for water, "Don't Drink the Water", is the name of an hilarious two-act comedy by Woody Allen which is being presented at the Abbey Stage Door.

Walter Hollander (Paul Siegel), a New Jersey caterer, his wife Marion (Gladys Brodsky), and his 23-year old daughter Susan (Peggy McGettigan), sacrifice a restful three-week vacation at Atlantic Beach for one that takes them traipsing all over Europe and behind the Iron Curtain. There is a possibility that more than a friendly exchange of words will take place between them. But. when Walter innocently snaps pictures of a Communist missile base and must face accusations of spying, and when he and his family subsequently seek asylum in the United States Embassy run by Axel Magee (Jeremy Jordan) who is more commonly known as The Failure, there is no doubt that diplomatic and family relations will suffer.

Allen exploits the situation with jokes that mix political satire and sharp humor. For example, Walter tells his wife that a visiting dignitary, the Sultan of Bashir, executes people as she uses her charge card. The jokes run n rapid succession as in a stand-up nightclub act and often unrelated to each other. Only Gladys Brodsky, Paul Siegel, and Antoine Barion (who plays a somewhat wacky Catholic Priest who has been in asylum at the embassy for six years) put the jokes over with any ease. Peggy McGettigan, Jeremy Jordan, and Bernard Henry (who plays Kilroy, an assistant to Axel's father) seemed to be uncomfortable in their parts. Despite the occasional butchery by them and the remaining members of the cast, the play is sal- vaged by their inherent humor.

The poor delivery of lines can be partially blamed on the faulty direction of How- ard Pell and his assistant Dolly Clark. "Don't Drink the Water" is meant tc be a quick-moving play, but sometimes the pace was slowed by too-long delays between laughs and lines. Mumbled lines and late entrances were few, but they nevertheless distinguished this production from professional ones.

"Don't Drink the Water" will be playing at the Abbey Stage Door through De- cember. The cast rotates so completely different performances may be given on consecutive nights. If the amateurishness can be overlooked, "Don't Drink the Water" is an amusing diversion.

The American Hamburger League

Much has been written parodying every aspect of American life and culture. Still, there are individuals who maintain that certain areas of our morps have not been exhausted by the merchants of humoi "The American Hamburger League" by Norman Kline has, I fear, diminished the hope of these souls.

The play unfortunately is almost totally lacking in humor. For example, one character says: "I had one chance to make it with a beautiful girl, but I got an appendix attack as I was taking off my shoes." Other equally funn> linesabound. The only comedy occurs when the audience laughs at the total silliness of the dialogue. Also, Kline seems to feel that a curtain line is any line which happens by chance to occur at the end nf a scene.

"The American Hamburger League" consists of twenty-six short skits, which have little or no reiationsmp to each other, except that they deal with some aspect of Americana. We are presented with a multitude of characters — most of them using some form of Freudian defense mechanism. There are: l)the people who regress; 2) the ones who repress; 3) the fixated ones; 4) the paranoids; and 5) the agressive types.

The actors, aside !rom an amazing lack of timing, generally do an acceptable job with the sparse material. Particularly noticeable is Richard B. Shull. The roles that he plays are absurdly sillv, vet Shull manages to give them the same deadpan apathy of Feiffer's ' hero" in "Little Murders" •

George Luscombe's direction seems too slow and stilted,especially for a comedy which lacks life, as this one does. Nancy Jowsey' s costumes and Paul Sullivan's lighting were too bright, contrasting with the black, white, and grey stage.

"The American Hamburger League"should be a lot better than it is to succeed -- ail it is now is bush.

After seeing "Jimmy'which shall be reviewed fully next issue), the latest pre- Broadway disaster to preview in Philly, I have decided to take a very bold step. That

^step being the formation of a committee to Give Uf Kelly"vgain in 1970 (GUKA '70). "Kelly" as some of you must remember, was a musical produced by David Susskind

(& Company) in around 1965. It just barely lasted one performance. Naturally many of us don't remember seeing it. And so GUKA'70 is being formed to allow this generation see the flop's flop on its fifth (orthereabouts) anniversary. It's a play not be missed; a play whose name will live on in infamy. All those desiring info about GUKA '70 should contact me. Our motto: IF YOU LIKED IT ONCE, YOU SHOULD BE PUT AWAY.

Hedgerow Theatre The Adding Machi by Michael Mitnick

Common complaints to be heard today are that our society is computer-run, money-oriented, laden with archaic social conventions, and generally caught in a quagmire of mediocrity. A ply that depicts these aspects in a manner that is neither artiistically subtle nor novel to those familiar with avantegarde theatre might be termed a cliche. But then, it was written in 1926...

With an accurate insight into American society of the Twenties, Elmer Rice's prophetic "The Adding Machine" provides a remarkably clear description of most of society today.

Mr. Zero (Charles Reed) has worked for years as a totaler of figures in a large department store in New York City. He is a cog in a huge, machine-like organization, both impersonal and degrading, and, on his twenty-fifth anniversary of work with the firm, expects the Boss to promote him, with a raise, to a managerial position. After Walter Middy-type illusions of grandeur, Zero, when at the end of the day is confronted by Boss, reverts to a groveling, stammering puppy dog. Boss in- forms Zero that, although ("What's your name?. .")

ne

Page 5

Zero has been good, automation has provided an adding machine that is ten million times better than he is, and although we hate to have to...

In an unexplained move of independence, Zero kills the Boss, and in a scene which has to be seen to be fully appreciated, is found guilty of his crime in a Court of Numbers.

From this point on, Rice philoophises to us about the decadence of Civilization, and any attempt on my part to spoon-feed the moral to readers would be simply ludicrous. Let is suffice to say that Rice's ultimate message is one which is not outdated or passe.

Hedgerow Theatre was a pleasant experience. Charles Reed seemed to fit the central role of Mr. Zero comfortably: his entire performance was extremely professional and immensely entertaining. Robert Sim's portrayl of a fanatically self-righteous matracide, named Shrdlu (Could he be mixed up?) provides a well- done backdrop to straight Zero.

The character of Mrs. Zero (Hilda Bernstein) is so typical of what one expects of a Brooklyn-bred wife of a clerk-to-be that even a mediocre performance

doesn't destroy too much. The same can be said of Janet Kelsey's job with Daisy, Zero's associate, and one of the four characters (of around 20) with proper names. Daisy acts, at the same time, both as a complement and a foil to Zero. Much credit is to be given to director Dolores Tanner, whose ingenuity keeps a 1926 play from showing its years too badly.Sudden bursts of electronic music (particularly in the scene in which Boss is killed) arouse the viewer and supplement the action on stage.

As I said before, Hedgerow is a pleasant experience. Apparently a converted carriage house near Swarthmore (around a half-hour's cruise from here soi!± on U.S. #1), Hedgerow has a relaxed aura about it that is apparent from the first, as a crew of cute and pleasant young ladies helps you to your seats. In addition to a generous student discount, coffee, tea, and cookies are offered gratis at intermission. The atmosphere was a welcome relief from the crowded center city mobs, and the audience seemed more interested and intelligent than is usually the case. I highly recommend that if you can get out to Hedgerow, go; it will be well worth the trip.

Jerry Jeff Walker

Five Years Gone by Bruce Kehr

Jerry Jeff Walker is a unique force on the contemporary folk-rock scene. His musical style reflects his lifestyle: Free, ever-moving, and dynamic. His most recent album, ' Five Years Gone," is an attempt to synthesize the past and present thoughts of a contemporary poet.

The first song, "Help Me Now," is, according to Walker, "A new song stating where I'm at right now at this point in time." It is a song of strength, telling of a man whose desire for a life of freedom causes him to throw away the securities and en- tangling binds of a woman's love. The song is impressive, not only for feelings of empathy its lyrics generate, but also for the innovations in musical style that are used to supplement the lead guitar.

"Blues In Your Mind" is a ' psychoanalytic alibi as to why some people just can't get on in this world." The song, however, is not lost in the rhetoric and arcane sym- bolism of Freudian overinterpetation. Both the lyrics and the music are written in a style similar to Dylan's Nashville metamorphosis. The lyrics are simple, pro- nounced in a colloguial drawl, while the music is played in a heavy and straight- forward style drawing largely from bass and organ.

"Janet Says" continues the love and freedom theme, lamenting the memories of past friends and the feelings of belonging. It is a simple melody, played in a quiet manner, that creates genuine feelings of nostalgia.

"Tracks Run Through The City'tatches Walker's longing to always be inmotion. The drums are played in a style char creates images of a locomotive in perpetual motion, assuring an ever-changing landscape for a gypsy minstrel.

For Walker, love must be a moving force, not a static obsession that strangles. In "Courage of Love," he sings "Your Love is always travelling there beside you, with the strength to turn the world around." The instrumental harmonizing is muted, quietly reminiscent of Paul Simon's guitar work.

"Mr. Bojangles" is already a classic, and its lyrics are perhaps the best of all Walker's efforts. While listening to the song, one almost feels as if he himself is watching Bojangles' dance. Utilizing only two steel string guitars, the song is a celebration of human perserverance, of something deep and sacred, tied to an ideal of freedom.

"Born to Sing a Dancin" Song" is a honky tonk melody that closes the album. It is a song of happiness and optimism and it summarizes the impressions of a man who has spent the past five years in an odessey of self-discovery. Jerry Jeff Walker is a human anachronism: he does not quite fit in the complexities of this society. And because of this, not in spite of it, one must admire his courage, his rejection of convention, and his affirmation of life and music.

The Philadelphia Orchestra under Eugene Ormandy, Music Director and Conductor has long been heralded for the lush sound of its string section. Mr. Ormandy, who last weekend began his thirty-fourth season at that post, brought forth an even greater aspect in the year's opening concerts. Four twentieth century pieces served as show- cases for the orchestra'scompletemusicalfabric.lt is in this sense that the city's orchestra truly glitters.

Unfortunately the contemporary program is a rarity on the schedule. There are fewer works of twentieth century composers than have appeared in past season. It is con- jectured that subscription ticket holders are more attracted to the traditional eighteenth and nineteenth century composers.

Following the "Star Bangled Banner,' Walter Piston's ' Toccata for Orchestra" opened the concert. It is a pleasant and simple piece yet rousing enough to start things off. The orchestra played it airily and transparently, thus

allowing the listener to inspect and enjoy Piston's various elements.

Paul Hindemith's "Sympony, 'Mathis der Maler' " was next. The symphony consists of three operative scenes inspired by the paintings of a fifteenth century German mystic. This work has a dense texture, some fascinating techniques such as high ringing violin tremolos to implement its stately melodies. The final scene, "The Temptation of St. Anthony," is emotionally charged and very convincing. Ormandy steered the exchanges between woodwind and string instruments and clarified Hinde- mith's excellent contrapuntal writing.

The piece towers to a brassy climax. The applause seemed to be directed to Ormandy, who handled a diffi- cult work with not only the necessary in tensity but with astuteness.

Samuel Mayes, principal cellist, takes the banners for his solo in the area premiere of Aram Khachatur-

ian's "Concer-Rhapsody for Violincello and Orchestra." There .":> no doubt that Mayas is a first rate cellist; excellent intonation, technical ease, and that sweet-sad sound. In this piece he stood alone in more ways than one. The solo instrument and the orchestra don't merge aside from a few thematic exchanges. The orchestral writing is dry, whereas the solo part is incongrously brilliant.

The program closed with one of the real contemporary masterpieces, Bela Bartok's "Concerto for Orchestra." Ormandy capitalized on opportunities here to explore the colors of the orchestra. Bartok made percussion respectable, and he uses the battery extensively and musically. There is a rapid movement through sections of the orchestra using strings, woodwinds, and brasses melodically and rthymically ■ From a lightly lingering tempo to a raucous sneer at Shostakovich, the orchestra handles this piece beautifully. Even an occasional missed note did not smear this most interesting performance.

me dium coo By Linda Seltzer

The past few months have brought a wave of serious films dealing with sociological and political aspects of American society. It is a pleasure for the audiences, who for the first time are presented with other pictures of their world than teenage parties, over-glamorous love affairs, grotesque murders, espionage agents, and as- inine children's movies.

But the pleasure is at best a mixed one. The films are not very optomistic. "Easy Rider'"syoung men find neither freedom nor fulfillment in the United States. The poor and perverted of "Midnight Cowboy" live more than frustrating lives. And honest citizens, trying to make the best of their lives, are the victims of a cynical, unsympathetic political establishment in "Medium Cool."

"Medium Cool" is the best of the new films, since its author and cinematographer, Haskell Wexler, filmed his fictional plot against the background of Resurrection City, the Appalachian ghetto of Chicago, and the floor and riots of the Democratic Convention.

The story is that of a cameraman (played by Robert Forster) for a television station who visits civil rights marches, a national guard ami-riot training session, a women's class in self defense. Resurrection city in the mud, and the Chicago poverty areas. Following a story more deeply than he is assigned to, the camera-

man is fired, learning that the FBI has been viewing and censoring his station's newsreels.

Out of a job and disenchanted, he develops a friendship with a young widow in Chicago's Appalachian ghetto and helps raise her son. While he is on a special job as a cameraman at the 1968 Democratic Convention, the boy is lost, and the poor, innocent young mother must search for him among the crowds of convention goers, and police beating hippies.

The Chicago scenes are real, close, and in color. The fiction is one of love, between man and woman, between mother and child. The fiction, emotional and understandable, makes the real look believable.

The reality behind "Medium Cool"'s plot of warmth and compassion is harsh poverty, propagandizing and unsympathetic government. Individuals in the audience

who identify with the love and feel alienated from the mainstream of the violent society are shocked at the contrast between the fictional individuals and the real society.

The film will stir these people to activity against violence and cynical deterioration of ideals in government.

Those who sympathize with the cops and hate the hippies, and who feel that the cameraman is wrong for his anger at the FBI and his employers will only be

confused. They will feel sorry for the poor, young mother, but will complain about the violence of the police riot being shown on screen. They will try to avoid the reality.

A great deal of praise goes to Harold Blakenship, a child from the Appalachian slum, who plays Miss Bloom's son. Attending a Chicago public school where the teachers do nothing but turn on the television, Harold is 11 years old and can't read or write. His acting is very natural, smooth.

How did Haskell Wexler shoot his film in all the chaos? How could he have planned to shoot a film during Chicago riots? And how did Verna Bloom, who plays the mother, walk near and through the police lines unharmed?

Miss Bloom told reporters at an interview in the Bellevue Stratford Hotel that she was just lucky. When Wexler heard rumors about possible riots, he changed his original ending, and decided to try for a good scene from Grant Park.

Miss Bloom said that she changed personally after acting in this film. It influenced her to do something about the problems she sees in society, and she said she hopes "Medium Cool" will arouse those who became apathetic after Chicago.

The actress campaigned for Norman Mailer in New York last spring, and said she will continue her activity. She told the reporters that she opposes the present system of political party conventions.

Asked what she thought the film is about, Miss

Bloom answered,'' It's about people's insensitivity about what's happening not only around them, but to them."

Part of this, the film points out, is due to television, the cool medium (from which the title is derived). The cameraman's work is edited to avoid real human interest and the real issues, so that only the surfaces will be covered. And the television makes reality seem like a faraway fiction that is happening to someone else.

John Sandlin Desolation Fascination By Wayne Kirn

Peale House Galleries opened up the Fall season last week with a collection of recent graphics by John Sandlin, a young artist showing for the second time in Phila- delphia. Working near Wichita, Kansas, Sandlin has been influenced most by the great American prairies, which contrary to popular belief, did not get cancled along with Wagon Train. To this artist the plains are a very real environment, and his thirty- five prints hanging at the Peale House reveal their inspiration.

Most notable is his Prairie series, a group of trees whose desolation remains unmarred by any hint of leaf or life. Sandlin has said that a plains tree is an event, not a ground cover; each of these prints shows loneliness that is more lonely than the Redwood's bigness is big. For Sandlin, a tree alone, not beside a house, behind a lake, or over a sleeping barefoot boy is subject enough for a print. He has proven his point with technical talent, and a great deal of imagination.

Sandlin's next series, the Prairie birds, shows symptoms of a developing case of desolation-fascination. Great round eyeballs give every subject here an almost un-birdlike aspect. Each of these creatures appears to be quite capable of setting up a happy home in one the Sandlin's trees. Collectively, the birds might make a pretty good glee club, chanting a chorus of ''nevermore".

In a Civil War series John Sandlin parallels (quite intentionally) the eventual disintegration of energy and morale experienced by both armys. A large woodcut on ash plank, "Uncle Dudley Rode to the Little Big Horn," is almost whimsical in Uncle's crisp uniform and jaunty stature. Yet "Citizen From Fort Riley", completed four years later (1969) is the portrait of a nameless sergeant who bears remarkable likeness to Peter Lorre. His hollow eyes are undeniably those of a prairie bird, and his rank is barely discernable by three faded stripes on his sleeve. Other Civil War etchings, including somewhat overdone subjects as the drummer boy, are nevertheless worthwhile studies executed in a humane rather than glorious vein. Sandlin has explained his interest in the human gesture, and these expressionistic lines and emotionalized portraits emphasize it.

Both devoted and required students of Herman Melville will take note of Sandlin's woodcuts after Moby Dick. The artist's characterization of Captain Ahab deserves special praise: Sandlin has, 1 believe, done a better job than Gregory Peck. However, the great white whale is conspicuously absent among these prints. It may be, considering the artist's connection with desolation, that Ahab proved a needier fellow than Moby Dick.

John Sandlin's graphics are above all, products of a man at home in his element. America's plains give Sandlin the inspiration he can handle best, and black/white media proves the best outlet for that inspiration.
