One of the interesting facets of the group's arrangements is the way they mix different degrees of the same tonal quality. For instance. their songs make great use of xylophone. synthesizer and flute inter­action. All of these instruments have the same clear, silvery bell­like quality. but in a different way. The weaving of these tones produced a dramatic blend much like he trembling reflection of colors in early morning dew. Or put it in another way: imagine that you took three different shades of the same color. and poured them into a pot For awhile you stir the paint slowly, enioying the effect of the swirls of color. Finally. all the colors melt together into a new. rich vibrant hue.

Weisberg and his group are also one of those who have something to offer for everyone, from hard-driving electric rock to middle of the road to soft. The soft. quiet tunes were the ones I liked the most - its seems to be something noticeably lacking at most concerts.

In some of the soft tunes, I found even more than this : it's the kind of good music that sets off a kind of thoughtful. aching yearning in a person. maybe a real1Zation of the beauty in life that we all don't take time to notice or maybe it's more than Weisberg's music touches a dim sense in one that there is some kind of greater beauty some­where - something that can't be seen, heard, houched or smelled. but only felt inside.

Weisberg has been pegged by many critics as a "modern day Pied Piper". This comparison is good in some ways. and in some ways not. The original Pied Piper agreed to get rid of rats in exchange for a sum of money.

The modern day Pied Piper dances and tootles in his football shirt. blue jeans, and sneakers. He plays not to get rid of rats. but rather to rid ennui. Weisberg lets his audience go home at the evening's end, happy and satis­fied that they have gotten their money's worth . Moral of the story: One Weisberg in the hand is better than 6.000 rats in the sea.

Lenny is one of those great film experiences. It is a semi­biographical dramatization of the life of Lenny Bruce. Maybe the film is only a myth. as suggested by those critics who saw his live perofrmance. But I think Dustin Hoffman. as the highly controversial social satirist of the fifties and sixties. plays the part just as Lenny Bruce would have wanted it. He is hardly a hero but he 1s a speaker of truth; he is. as Bruce would say, showing The Lie which exists in the absurdity of our existence.

The film tells the story of Lenny Bruce and his tragic marriage to a stripper. Honey Harlow (played by Valerie Perrine). They move through a world of cheap nightclubs, sexual perversion and drug dilemnas. His mother (with Jan Miner as Sally Marr) relates those parts of his career that she forged the way for A fictitious agent epitom1Zes those people who have tried to capitalize on the vulgar tongue and sordid death of Lenny Bruce. Gary Morton, until now known only as Lucille Ball's husband. puts in an ingratiating performance as " Mr. Entertainment." Each episode in Lenny's life is followed by a routine vignette from his cabaret act which directly parallels it. The action is fast-paced. scarcely allowing the viewer to move from scene to scene. but giving a glimpse of how the life of Lenny Bruce created the legend of social conscienceness that surrounds him.

The director is Bob Fosse, whose somewhat illustrious credits are Sweet Charity (1969) and Cabaret (1972). which won eight Academy Awards. His past experience in the theater is well-evidenced in his brilliant handling of the cabaret scenes.

His technique directly calls to mind Orson Welles who directly transferred stage production values to the screen in Citizen Kane (1941 ). Fosse uses Welles' montage (a sort of overlapping editing technique). an unseen narrator / interviewer. an uplifted camera and a style called cinema verite . This gives the film a documentary gloss by the use of a hand-held camera such as a news photographer would use with a film stock that has a grainy quality By employ­ing black-and-white film he increases the viewer's feelings of having lived alongside Lenny Bruce during the inhibiting hears of Joe McCarthy and George Wallace. It also points to the polarity of good and evil and their accompanying social forces .

The film is sure to win an Academy Award or two. It 1s composed with great technical skill. But it 1s the characterizations of Hoffman and Perrine which make the film truly outstanding . Their sensitive portraits of two losers in the process of destroying themselves is unforgettable. Lenny is a great memorial, not to Lenny Bruce. but the ideas he stood for - freedom of speech and an establishment of a fair judicial system.

Q: While looking at a stereo catalogue noticed that all amplifiers and receivers showed a total harmonic distortion rating. Will you tell me what it means?

A: Harmonic distortion happens when a single tone (say 400Hz) is entered into an amplifier and comes out of the amplifier as the original tone (400 Hz) plus unwanted overtones (harmonics, which are multiples of the original tone, such as 800, 1200, 1600 Hz). It is usually expressed as a percentage, and the lower the percentage the better. Any number below 1.0% THD is acceptable since what this means is that 1 % of the sound heard at rated output is distorted. This rating is to help you in your search for pure, clean, undistorted music.

Do your ears a favor, come to Team and hear some of these clean sounding music machines, you won't believe your ears.

Phil Peterson has done a fine job in choosing Stoppard's play and in directing an excellent cast. Craig Hudson's set looks like it cost a fortune, but turns out to be an ingenious use of muslin and paint. The entire production staff obviously worked well together to create a

professional theatre experience. Too badd everybody can't see

'The Real Inspector Hound." They're sold out already, but if you call and plead insanity they may squeeze in another body or two. It's unfortunate that Shoe­string productions must always play to such a small audience, not because people don 'twant to see them but because of the small space allotted student· directed projects. ''The Real Inspector Hound" deserves the larger SUB theatre so that more than 200 persons could see it during its brief run this week.

Our budget-our future:

Sitting on death row If there was ever a time to can this image of student

dpathy - it's right now. Our university budget is sitting on death row, and we - the students, faculty, and community members involved in this institution are the only ones who can save it.

Any one of us open to any form of mass communication in 1his area has heard of the almost 'morbid ' situation our university faces . As the quality of education at this institution rapidly decreases, it can not help but have adverse conditions on Bozeman. I speak not only of intellectual levels, but of long range enrollment figures . If we can not offer courses at this institution that serve to stimulate the student mind, our enrollment will eventually dwindle. And as it does, so will this community, which is so desperately dependent on the existence of the college.

To save our univers ity, or to attempt to save it, need not involve extensive hours of work on your part. We have attempted to do much of this work for you .

This Thursday, from 9 to 4, there will be a booth in the Student Union Building; a booth equipped with information, stationery, envelopes, postage, and addresses.

The purpose of this booth is to gather forces - and I mean every one' of us - in an effort to inform legislators from our districts of our concern .

Our budget, at present, is in the hands of theJoint Edu­cation Subcommittee. They may adapt one of three pro­posed budgets, or devise one of their own. The three budg­ets, in order from the most disastrous to the least, are the Fiscal Analyst budget, the Governor 's Executive budget, and the Regents' revised request.

The Fiscal Analyst's office, which has honored us for the first time with their version of the budget breakdown, recommends a figure for MSU that is $7,000,000 short of the regent's 'bare bone' budget figure. The Governor's request is in between the two.

It might hit home a little harder when you realize that the subcommittee has already adopted the Fiscal Analyst's recommendation forthe Agr iculture Experiment Station and the Cooperative Extension Service. These figures for the biennium are $2,368,563 less than the Governor's figures. And the Governor 's figures are $1 ,645, 137 less than the Regents.

If the subcommittee decides to adopt the rest of the Fiscal Analyst's poverish budget, God Forbid, it would cut MSU's staff by 70 persons, and would provide $17,000 less in general fund money nellt year than we are operating on this year. Programs that demand a low student-faculty ratio for learning, such as nursing and speech pathology will die.

If it seems like MSU is the under-dog in the university systems picture - you 're right. We have been cursed with inaccurate enrollment figures, and low faculty salaries in every single budget recommendation. And now, we are patiently waiting to see ifthe Governor will revise his budget to compensate for these mistakes. If he does, and we should find out soon, then the Governor's recommendation for MSU will increase. But whether or not this will influence the legislature, we have yet to tell. Should we sit around and watch, as our programs get cut one by one? Or should we take action now?

It is difficult to envision the impact of a few letters and phone calls on a legislator. Especially if the letters and calls are from members of the legislator's own district. But believe me, it has an effect. And if those letters and calls are concerning our budget, then it will help our budget.

Contact should not be made solely with members of the appropriations subcommittee, although they have the budget in their hands as of this time.

At the booth, we will provide lists of the legislators on the subcommittee, legislators on the appropriations com­mittee of the whole, and lists of th remaining legislators and their districts. There will also be information on all of the budget recommendations, and facts that will help you convince the legislators from your district of the importance of the MSU budget. All postage will be paid for by ASMSU .

Let's get together and fight for quality education -God knows we pay enough for it.

'Time for more geo-thermal adion Recently Buckminster Fuller gave a lecture here

at MSU and stated we can have alternate sources of energy developed by the 1 sao·s. He thinks we can start living off our income rather than our savings. Although some of Fuller 's ideas seem outrageous, he may be right on this one.

the difference in BTU 's. A work force of 125,000 (2% of the now unemployed) would be needed. Many of the construction workers could move easily into installation. With bad weather geo­thermal could be used as a back-up system.

There was a program on radio station KFI Los Angeles which featured two people involved in solar and geo-thermal energy. Due to static on the radio I missed the guests' names but here's what they had to say.

Geo-thermal energy is from the molten core of the earth heating up the upper crust and turning ground water into steam. It is estimated that these reserves are equal to ten to 100 times the petroleum reserves plus all the known nuclear fission reserves. The 1 1 western states have the majority. Although gee-thermal development is where oil was 65 years ago, Magma Energy Inc. is producing electricity for P.G. and E. in Northern California . They 've gone from 5, 700KWS ' to 400kOOOKWS', enough to supply a city the size of Sacramento with all of its electrical needs. Development is also being done in Imperial County, east of San Diego. This power can be shipped and with an infusion of monery a can be practical in 10 years .

Why isn 't more being done? Uninformed home buyers make builders afraid to raise the cost $3,000 on a home even though the savings are more than the initial cost . The power companies and their inverted rate structures, where " the more you use the less you pay" discourages many. Last but not least, many of the people in govern­ment are connected to the oil industry. President Ford stays in a condominium at Vail owned by Dick Bass who owns a Dallas based oil company, not to mention Vice-President Rockefeller.

As for right here in Montana, a question comes up. With a gee-thermal area like Yellowstone, why is Montana Power not looking into it? We need electricity; all progress isn 't necessarily bad, and a compromise will have to be made with the environment.

Sun Source is involved with solar energy. The technology is there. Production techniques are all thafs needed. If there was backing , project independence could be reached . Two million barrels of oil cou Id be saved by making the necessary solar collectors which would make up

So why use water out of the Yellowstone that could be used for crop irrigation and dig up valuable ranch land? With a global food shortage this seems short sighted. With gee-thermal, Montana Power can have electricity to transport and land could be put to better use. As for destroy­ing nature 's beauty rm sure the tourists could find other areas to drive through bumper to bumper in

their Winnebagos and campers.

Understanding American Indian students Before I begin this article I would

like the reader to understand that this is not directed towards an individual but rather to the majority of the instructors in a number of institutions. I am not trying to tread on toes but rather to enlighten anyone holding a teaching position, whether it be in kindergarten or college.

My subject? The education process of Indian people, especially those in college.

Most Indian students enter college on a testing basis, as do a number of non-Indian students. It is a time of decision concerning their future. Believe it or not whetherthat Indian student stays in college or drops out will depend, to a degree much higher than that of the majority of white students, on his instructors: their attitude towards him , the i r expectations of him, their know­ledge of Indian people.

To express my point more clearly, I will cite a fictional example of which will concern an Indian person coming to college after attending reservation schools or boarding schools and having been ra ised on the reservation . Th is student eni'ers college a litt le frigh tened, appre­hensive, defensive, andveryworned

he will not be able to make the G.P.A. required. His advisor will explain to him how he must take this and this and this, which are all required courses for his curriculum. The student. not knowing anyone at the college who is not also just entering signs up for these courses. The first quarter he makes just below a two point. He tries again! Gets the Advisor's advice once more. He barely makes the 2 point again. This may go on and on or the student may quit. But for the sake of examples. another try, he barely gets fair grades. Okay, Advisor suggests. " Switch curriculumsl ", " Lower goal .. (i .e.-go from R.N . to L.P.N.), .. Take a year offl " Oh yes and the instructors, " Can I help you?" (he doesn't ask the white student),' "Am I pushing you too hard?, " Oh, if you can cover the subject fa irly well , I'll give you all the points I" .. You should spend more time with your studies." And so goes the story.

My point/ Why are we prejudged? An Indian student has the same chance as the non-Indian to make it in school. Some are ra ised much the same way as the average wti i te person: nice home, good family, rural area. etc. Give us the same chance to prove ourselves as you do

other students. Confer with us individually and find out where our interests and knowledge lies. Check our records, when available. Give yourself an anitude check: do you find yourself looking at an Indian student and th inking .. poor kidl He looks So scared . I wonder if I could help him out in here. Maybe I could give him an outline for his paper .. . Maybe I could help him out some evening . . . etc." Okay, some of us will appreciate it but some of us will feel our intelligence very much insulted . Advisors could check out a student's situations and offer a bridge course where available. Jusr respect our sense of intelligence and dignity and we will do likewise.

It is white people who preach common sense and it is they who must practice it.

My interest is to see Indian students begin their education, enjoy it, and get the degree they seek and be on their way to make a good life for themselves Is that so much to ask? After all, it 1s what " our" society dictates.

Deciding to decide: The Great Experiment By TAB

When Carl Reich comes home to tell Elsa that he's had it - that he's out of a job - she can tell before he opens his mouth. There 1s a period of unreality_ She fixes a good supper. They have braced themselves They have built up a little reserve. a bit of savmgs at the bank and credit union, and there are unemployment bene­fits. Next morning the alarm goes off and he doesn't get up, and when the kids go to school he says at home. looking at want ads and then going down town to fill out forms It begins to smk m. He feels useless; not a man. It takes a while for sullen mood to come. when debts rise and clothes fray. Later It is anger. Whether 8 mil­lion people now unemployed will go through those stages, and when or 1f their mood becomes turbulent , we can 't guess_ Unemployment starts feeding on unemployment when job­less benefits give out and the unem­ployed can't buy new goods or pay

'mortgage debts. That wlll start to happen for many by spring .

So now let's see how Congress is rising to the crisis. There was dis­may when President Ford offered his State of the Union package. Janu­ary 15. and followed it up with his budget-economic messages. Febru­ary 3-4. He wanted too little for recovery; he wanted cutbacks m social welfare; he wanted oil taxes that would increase inflation Now everybody is telling Congress to hurry up its own program Mean­while, President Ford and press sec­retary Ron Nessen crit1c1ze Con­gress for delay_ Mr Ford ism Florida this week continuing to seek sup-

port . (He seems to feel this is what Harry Truman would have done.)

The House met the first challenge by taking a leisurely 10-day recess. and the Senate, shamed into stay­ing on the job. didn't do much more than mark time. Now things have changed a bit But 1t is a good re­minder for people who want to make Congress into a hero how diffcult it is. It always pays to be realistic, how­ever, particularly about Congress.

We are going to learn a lot about Congress and government in this new crisis, just as we did in Water­gate. In Watergate the JOb was rela­tively simple: to curb. and oust, a president. In the course of do mg this we discovered that the Founding Fa­thers had put impeachment power in the Constitution, which most of us had forgotten

This is tougher today, because whereas Watergate was to destroy something, to excise a malignancy, now the problem is to create things. a new economy, jobs. a new ap­proach to world oil supplies . Further­more, the separation of povvers trips us up when we try to act swiftly and coherently. At once Congress and the White House get into a con­frontation.

'"This self-stultifying, divisive system of government sometimes produces no movement or action at all wrote a perceptive Eng hshman, Professor S.E. Finer, of the Univer­sity of Manchester in his Compara­tive Government (1970; Penguin Press). Inertia is caused. he said, by the separation of powers which is the unique characteristic of the American system. "But," he added.

"in the United States, this situation, where government can gnnd to a halt and produce no action for a very long time. is not only tolerable but often even agreeable." He con· eluded, "' In any case (1t) is usually irrelevant because the United States is. by world standards, an empty country and a most wealthy one, so that the slowness with which new measures may be introduced there does not bother the average Ameri­can citizen anything like as much as it would hie counterpart in the more crowded and considerably poorer states of Europe ...

Wait a bit, though This stand­ardized European comment came before the facts of life had hit the world 's richest nation. American hail their venerable government be­cause It accommodates to 1heir di­versity and because 1t has per­formed well, it helped produce the most stable democracy on earth; 1t came through Watergate well, too.

But now global events are burst­ing in: we sank treasure in Vietnam; we lived beyond our means; we found we must buy and sell sea rce commodities in a finite world like other nations. Can our system adapt and move swiftly in an emergency SHOAT OF WAR; it remains to be seen how "the average American," cited by Finer. reacts if the govern­ment proves "selfstult ifymg , ", 1.e .. if White House and Congress get into a brawl on the brink of the precipice .

Fortunately, this won't happen . Confrontations between Mr. Ford and congressional Democrats have begun, but I don't know anyone who

thinks they will be carried to a sui­cidal stalemate; much more likely they will drag into compromises that nobody really wants and that may not meet the problem. Stakes are high today and the old-fashioned solution by accommodation may not work.

The showdown stage is here. On the energy package Mr. Ford seems to be in a minority; he hasn't been able to rouse enthusiasm on trips nor with the gathering of state gov­ernors, and even so wise a coun­sellor as Arthur Burns of the Fed wants him to postpone the matter. Mr Ford wlll be unwise to veto the delaying bill. A veto, of course , prec1p1tates things and will show how determined the sides are.

The bill to sumulate the conomyby a Keynesian tax cut is next. Here

everyone favors the cut, the ques­tion is, how big? Reading from right to left we have Mr. Ford, with his Simon-Greenspan advisors, Sl 6 bil­lion; the House Democrats. $20 bil­lion; George Meany, S30 billion; Harry Truman's economic advisor, Leon Keyserling, $40 billion.

Forty-six years after the 1929 crash we are doing what Herbert Hoover might have saved himself by domg· giving a bit shot to the econo­my and to hell with the deficit. Will it work we can't be sure. Will itturn the economy around, we can't guess. Will it have inflationary side-eff­ects, we can't know.

Libertarians forming The Greater MSU Chapter of

the Society for Individual liberty is being o rganized in Bozeman by Robert Miller, an engineer­ing student. Several persons from the university and the com­munity at large have already expressed interest in this project.

Formed in 1969. SIL is a national organization which provides communication and literature services to thousands of persons dedicated to personal, economic and political liberty and the creation of a free society.

SIL's membership includes academicians , authors, businessmen and professional persons. It is a veh 1cle of the modern libertarian movement, whose intellectual roots go back to before the American Revolution . The ideological origins of the Revolution , in fac t, were explicitly libertarian, derived from the writings of the opposition - Whigs of early eighteenth century England

Libertarians are generally of the opinion that each ind1v1dual should have sole dominion over his (her) own life, and may do as he wishes, as long as he does not violate the natu ra I rights of others. Most consider taxation to be theft. consc ription to be slavery, and economic planning through legislation to be counterproductive and inequit­able, or at best futile, wastefu I, and unnecessary. Most of them think that when the govern ­ment's foreign policy ceases to be isolationist. it becomes imperialistic, and hence and impediment to international trade. They also think that victimless crime laws smack of moral dictatorship, a situation which obstructs freedom of cho ice, a necessary pre requis ite to the ex1stencl.' of morality tself

economic and political concentration of power , are consequences of government interference in what would otherwise be a free market. and of government hegemony vis-a­vis individual civil liberty. Many have come to the realization that economic freedom and civil liberty are corollaries. In fact. Rothbard and others have argued that all natural rights can be cast in the form of generalized property rights. and that. throughout history, the worst abuses of the environment, for example, have occurred in areas where property rights are not well-defined, or where there is government ownership .

Persons who find it difficult to believe that such a philosophy comports with modern reality, and that rational thinkers can entertain such ideas are entitled to feel intellectually deprived says Miller The works of libertarian theorists, both past and present, are simply not generally available . They are largely ignored by, or unknown to. most faculty members. The MSU Bookstore, for example, does not have a single book by Ludwig von Mises (who demon­strated that. among other things, rational economic calculation is impossible under a centrally planned economy). Murray Rothbard, Henry Hazlitt, Nobel­w inner F.A. Hayek, and many other free-market thinkers.

Thus, says Miller. it is not surprising that most students have been shorted in this whole area of knowledge. The academia simply inculcates the value of government solutions into the students. and then resorts to the primitive art of scapegoating , by which what remains of the free market is blamed fo1 the failure of govern 1ent policies And of course h guverni-t1 ,t U ... ..,,. hire PT)OS

Human Rights Bureau works for equality By Deb Mize

If you thought you couldn't get that sales job because the employer preferred a mature, older man. think again .

Last year the 43rd Legislative Assembly passed the Human Rights Act which reads. in parts. "The right to be free from discrimination because of race. creed, color. sex. physical handicap. or national origin is recognized and declared to be a civil right ...

In order to enforce this act. the Human Rights Commission of the State of Montana was created. Also established was the Human Rights Bureau as the acting arm of the Commission to investigate and settle claims of discrimination .

Chief of the Bureau Ray Brown. who spoke in Bozeman at the Darigold Building Thursday night, explained some of the Bureau 's powers and procedures.

Persons are protected from discrimination in several areas. Discrimination is prohibited in the areas of employment, public accommodations, credit trans­actions, state services, housing, and education. Also. the state and its political subdivisions are prohibited from discrimination in employment because of an

individual's political beliefs . The act also includes the power to prohibit discrimination on the basis if age or phys ical or mental handicaps.

As Brown pointd out. some­times discrimination can be very subtle . and arguements continue all the time about what actually constitutes discrimi ­nation. He gave one instance of the case of a youth in Montana who is presently protesting the hair code at his school. Brown said that in the past, courts had ruled that schools had the right to enforce any kind of dress code they chose . But this particular boy. said Brown. is approaching the argument in a unique way. He is claiming that he was discriminated against on the basis of sex; in other words, if a girl can have long hair, so can he.

Brown described the method of the Human Rights Bureau uses to investiga te and settle charges of discrimination . Anyone who feels they have been discriminated against must file a complaint within 1 BO days of the alleged incident. The person who the complaint is directed against will then be notified within ten days.

The bureau will then investigate the case and decide

whether there is " no cause" or " probable cause " to beli<!ve that discrimination has occurred. If " no cause" is found, the case is dropped by the Bureau. although the complainant still has the option of seeking remedy through the courts .

If the bureau decides that there is probable cause. they will then hold a hearing to decide the case. They have the power to order the offender to make amends to the complainant, although they cannot order the payment of punitive damages. One such case might be as follows : Johnny America applies for a job as a mechanic. and is refused on the grounds that he doesn't have a high school diploma. But Johnny has a high schoo~equivalency diploma. and feels tha t the real reason he didn 't get the job was because he 1s an Indian . He filed a complaint w ith the Bureau. and eventually the case was decided in favor of Johnny. The employer was ordered to make up the loss in wages that Johnny suffered while looking for another job.

Before any case is taken before a hearing officer or judge. an effort is made to reconcile the two parties into settling the matter between them in a satis­factory manner.

Organic horse-power

Work team saves fuel By Ward Jackson

Sadie and Ladie, the MSU work horse team. are saving fuel and man hours at the MSU feedlot .

The draft team are matched gray Percheron mares. Together they weigh 2600 pounds. and are capable of pulling up to a 3 ton load. Most of the time the team pulls about a ton and a half load on a wagon or a bob sled (a wagon on runners).

Bob Richards brought the team with him when he came here two years ago. Bob and his two assistants use the team twice daily, at 1 Oam and at3 pm, to do all of the feeding. The team is so well trained that most of the time only voice commands are needed, thus freeing Bob and his assistants to work more freely.

This is an impossibility with a tractor.

Richards stated that if he didn't use the team. it would mean having another full time man to just drive a tractor. Richards added that a team is more maneuverable than a tractor. A horse thinks, and knows how a wagon is follow­ing behind, and pulls around corners easier than a tractor. The only disadvantage is that horses can 't make long hauls. Under this circumstance a tractor is a necessity.

One of the assistants stated

that they feed the horses leftover feed from the feedlot. This too saves operation costs. besides not using fossil fuel. Sadie and La die a re probably the two best fed horses in this area.

The team is shod by Scott Simpson. the MSU farrier instructor. the only continuing expense.

Sadie, the left horse. has raised two foals. and is carrying one now due inthe spring. In this way Sadie is more than paying for herself. Ladie, because of a uterine infection, a common infection in mares. is presently unable to bear a foal.

B~ Students affected by food stamp reg

We'll See You at the J George Wednesday Night! .

:-gunrutv--d1et:-l Students who receive more than 50% of their income from their parents will be removed from the food stamp program March 1. Bob Sybrant, Director of the Gallatin County Depart­ment of Public Welfare. says that the new federal regulation will affect about 30 students.

No students have been removed from the program yet, according to Sybrant. A mis­understanding occurred when Ideal county commissioners requested the new regulation be enforced here before the March 1 date. The state office in Helena refused the request until after March 1.

The national regulations had a dependency exclusion in 1 973. Under the old rule students who

were claimed as dependents by their parents were ineligible for food stamps. The U.S. Supreme Court declared the old regulation unconstitutional in July of 1973. 'Tm interested in seeing how the new regulation is phrased to be legal under the court ruling," stated Sybrant.

Locally there are about 500 people receiving foodstamps. of which about 250 are students. Sybrant feels that the new rule will affect a minor portion in comparison to the total.

Students who have been receiving more than 50% of their income from their parents may have to wait a year without aid from home before they will be eligible for the program . This

Collective bargaining: A table's eye view By Neil Klotz

(CPS) - While some students around the country have begun to realize that collective bargain­ing can directly affect their tuition, class size and say in campus governance, many more have found themselves faced with a more basicquandry: what actually goes on behind closed doors when faculty and administration hash out the future of their campus.

CPS talked to one of the nation 's few masters of post­secondary dispute process for a table 's eye view of bargaining and students ' role in it

According to Dr Tom Emmet, special assistant to the president at Regis College, CO. misunder­standings about the actual bargain ing process has led to a glut of bad research on the issue.

" They're asking all the wrong questions," he said . " If you don 't understand the process, how can you understand the outcome of the process?" Emmet has served as a consultant on bargaining technique to both faculties and universities since unionzation hit college campuses nine years ago.

ROOM WITH A VIEW (OR VIEWS)

From his experience, Emmet said, most faculties and ad­ministrations don 't even know the basics of bargaining.

" What usually happens in 99% of the cases is that the

and

used. but according to Emmet. strikes are not necessarily bad. They usually put pressure on both sides to go back to the table.

STUDENTS AT THE TABLE

Emmet believed that students have a real place in bargaining "from a true consumer interest. But if they think this is going to be a power play, they're dead wrong."

Faculty unions are openly paranoid about student input. he said, because they believe it would disrupt the sessions.

One of the biggest hang ups with students as separate bargainers at the table is that collective bargaining was never designed for a tripartite (three pany) structure, according to Emmet.

" It's hairy as hell and requires an extremely sophisticated bargainer," he said. Having students bargain separately with one side which would then bargain with the other was more possible, but still not a good use of the process.

At the same time Emmet saw that relegating students to the status of silent observers doesn't really fulfill their need to have a voice . The same thing goes for having students sit on either or both bargaining teams: they're not representing their own interests and will only splinter the discipline each side must have to bargain efficiently.

The ideal solution, according

to Emmet, would be to guarantee students observer status, but also grant them the right to meet in advance of negotiations with the policy teams of both sides to e)(plain their needs. They should be given the right to meet with the team at various intervals in the bargaining. In return the students would have to keep in confidence what happened at the table and agree to the rest of the ground rules.

Under Emmet's plan. students would have no power to ratify the contract, only a guaranteed voice in the proceedings

"I think they 'll get their points across, .. said Emmet. " If not they can always raise a lot of hell which I think both sides realize .';

Student collective bargaining bill up By Ginny Prior

The st udent co I lect ive bargaining bill, HB 656, will be heard on third reading in the House of Representatives today. The bill, wh ich would allow the students to take the position of the public employer in collective barga ining at the universities. passed through second reading in the House on Friday night. With avoteof62 to32. 55demo­crats passed the measure -seven voted against it; seven Republicans voted for the bill -25 voted aga inst it.

Speaking for the bill were

three M i ssoula repre­sentatives. Democrats Duane :Johnson, Bob Palmer. and Gary Kimble; in addition to Great Falls Democrat Dennis Lester; Demo­crat Ora Halverson from Kalispell; and Fred Barret -Lewistown Republican .

Opponents to the bill included Bozeman representative Bob Ellerd; Missoula Republicans Earl Lory and Howard Ellis; Great Falls representative Jack Moore; and Esther Bengston, Democrat from Shepherd.

Bengston testified that although she believed in today's youth, she noted a decline in

education since students were allowed involvement in univer­sity decision making.

Jack Moore read a quote to the effect that today's youth and intellectuals are insidious.

The bill is expected to pass through the House today.

News concerning other bills of interest:

The revised Landlord Tenant Bill will be on second reading in the House today or tomorrow. The appropriations committee is still deliberating on the univer­sity budget.

Nursing Services Center helps people Montana Nursing Services

Center is providing basic health care for the ch ildren of married students.

The program is under the direction of Nancy Chandler, R.N.. M.N. It gives student nurses valuable experience in ca ring for babies and children . At the same time, it makes in­expensive health assistance available to student families.

"Well baby" and "well child " checks are the services most utilized. The child 's general health is appra ised at this t ime and growth ra tes are charted. Behavior, development, and nutrition are also discussed. All checks are performed by a student nurse assisted by Mrs. Chandler.

If needed, the child ,;,ay be immunized . The center's program covers all required immunizations from birth to age 12. Adult immunizations for going overseas and throat cultures are also available .

The consultations are done in a leisurely and thorough manner. Usually they take about an hour, which contrasts with the ten minutes allowed in a regular doctor's visit. Mrs. Chandler stresses, however, that the center's program is intended to supplement, not replace, regular visits to a doctor or pediatrician.

For mothers unable to bring their children to visit the center, student nurses are w illing to make a visit directly to the home.

" Traditional behavior like the return to fraternity and sorority life is the mode for everyone across the country and alcohol use is obviously very traditional," he noted.

At San Jose City College in California, community worker Angela Walsh persuaded college officials to sponsor a seminar on alcoholism for half a credit . She pointed out that a big problem for alcoholics is social attitudes. Often those around the alcoholic ignore the problem or pretend that he is not responsible for his own actions. At colleges, there may actually be social pressure encouraging alcohol abuse.

EVOLUTION OF A DRINK

According to treatment experts, there are two stages i n the development of alcoholism. The first is psychological : a pre­occupation with liquor, a personality change, gulping or doubling drinks and an increase in tolerance The second, physical stage occurs when the disease has progressed over a period of time. Symptoms can include blackouts, ulcers and liver or kidney damage.

FEATURE PART II A student involved in the

1971 lawsuit over the new stadium feels that if students learn the facts of the episode they are less likely to be " misled on future campus building projects." While students had desired improved Health and Physical Education facilities since 1955 they had been led into financing facilities best suited for use by varsity athletics. according to Michael Yeager. a Student Senator here in 1970.

On December 12, 1968, MSU students voted down a proposal that they put up half the cost of a new S750,000 football stadium. Yeager feels that the major reason for the defeat was that the voters wanted a new Health and PE center built first.

The MSU Fieldhouse plans had originally included two wings which would have contained health and PE facilities .. From 1957 to 1968 speculation regularly appeared in the local media concerning future construction of these wings. The usual line was that the additions would be financed from excess Fieldhouse revenues (which had totaled about $350,000 by 1970, according to MSU Business Manager Tom Nopper).

Within six weeks of the defeat of the first stadium referendum. plans were announced to build a health and PE center on the site of what was then Gatton Field.

Athletic department officials and the Alumn i Association were the major proponents of the new stadium. Among their reasons for needing a new facility were:

Gatton Field had been crowded on previous occasions.

The press box faced the sun, making it difficult to televise games.

Many of the bleachers were open-air type making for cold. windy seating.

Gatton Field was taking valuable space near the center of campus.

Prior to the election on Dec. 12, 1969, proponents of the stadium used a number of tactics that were later mentioned in the lawsuit.

Exponent articles and alumni bulletins from the period reveal that the Alumni Association and Athletic Department distributed pictures of an architecture student's senior thesis model of a stadium. The model (designed for 20,000 seats) was a panially underground, oval structure which the student had estimated would cost well over one million dollars - a much greater figure than the money available. The administration and alumni officials knew. at the time the picture of the model received statewide and local coverage, that it was not the stadium they planned to build. A picture of the thesis model appeared on the front page of the Exponent two days before the election.

with the aid of the alumni office. sent letters to every student implying that students had to vote for both projects or get neither.

The student body approved both projects on the referendum of Dec. 12, 1969. The stadium issue seemed to be closed.

Until Winter Quaner 1971 , students heard very little about either the Health and PE Complex or the stadium. A repon was issued early in the quarter that some things originally planned for the stadium would have to be eliminated due to cost overruns. " Student Senate was told that these wou Id only be minor. " stated Yeager. He added that near the end of the school year, May 20. 1971 , Senate was

Student Senate was also notified that the committee had decided to ask the individual alumni donors 1f they wished to back out on the new proposal, and that if the students had any objections they should let the Adm inistration know. The ASMSU Student Senate met in two unprecedented summer sessions and decided to take legal action to protect student rights by blocking the destruction of Gatton Field until the student body had a chance to vote upon the new proposal.

This stadium model was displayed in the SUB prior to the vote on the stadium and H&PE center. A picture of it also appeared on the front page of the EXPONENT on Dec. 1 o. 1969, two days before the election. Although athletic department officials knew the stadium would not follow this design they used the model to rally support for the new stadium. This model was of a stadium designed to seat 20,000 people.

The Associated Students of Montana State University filed suit in U.S. District Court on August 25, 1971 , asking for an injunction to halt the imminent destruction of Gatton Field and to prevent construction of the Health and PE Center on the Gatton Field site . Named as plaintiffs in the class-action suit cost much lower than the

The complaint stated that the University could not lawfully use a portion of the Fieldhouse building fee for the new H&PE Center, because the defendants did not obtain approval from any higher source to destroy the football stadium ; that no affirmative vote of the students took place because of material misrepresentation of fact preceding the election; and that the students were denied equal protection under the law because the alumni donors were offered the chance to back out nand the students were not given a similar opportunity.

12 -THE EXPONENT-Tuesday, February 25 , 1975

A move by the State Attorney General to dismiss the charges failed on October 4 , 1971 , and

the case was moved to trial in the District Court of the Eighteenth Judicial District on Nov 4, 1971 . W. W. Lessley was presiding Judge. On Nov. 15, 1971 , Judge Lessley decided 1n favor of the University, declaring the previous vote of the student body on Dec. 12, 1969, binding on the students.

Although the Associated Students lost the lawsuit, two imponant precedents were established: (1) the Associated Students had won the right to represent all MSU students in a class action, and (2) the Associated Students ' Senate had the legal right to sue and be sued under Montana law

The student representatives had hoped that Judge Lessley would disqualify himself from the case because he had regularly taught a class at MSU since Oct. • 1952. The course. !&ME 331. was offered Autumn Winter. and Spring quaners' Lessley was officially classified as a Lecturer and had received $3.450 from MSU for his services m 1970, according to a report issued April 13, 1970 by the Executive Secretary of the Montana University System.

When running for reelec!lon in 1972 Lessley was asked why he did not disqualify himself on the case. He answered that he did no feel that a conflict of interest was involved. He added that he had judged the case solely on the facts and the law

Lessley resigned his position as an MSU Lecturer in June 1 973. A new state law forbids judges from having various out· side activities. Although the law is unclear in his case. Lessley resigned because of the new law. in addition to an increasing court load , according to Industrial and Management Engineering Department Head Dr. J. A. Ritchey.

In a recent telephone conversation Lessley stated 1hat the court records are available for inspection. but refused to comment on the case or his former employment with MSU

The football stadium was finished in time for the fall 1973 season. Construction with steel rather than the originally planned reinforced concrete enabled both sides of the field to have stands. Including end-zone bleachers moved over from Gatton Field the new stadium seats 14.000. Construction cost was $750,000. It was named Sales Stadium in honor of the late Reno W. Sales who donated $32,000 for its construction

The yet unnamed Health and PE Complex will be inspected and formally accepted m the next few weeks. Portions of 11 have been in use since fall 1973

Construction cost was about $1 .6 million.

Many people at MSU feel that bringing up these old issues will only reopen old wounds. This subject was raised by several of the administrators interviewed for this article. Hopefully there 1s at least a lesson for administrators and students here. Future campus building referendums should be more realistically planned and factually presented to a better informed student body
