Communities fight nukes by Harvey Wassennan

In the midst of the water crisis, as the Public Service Co. (PSC) was announcing its rate hike, and as the lobsters were dying in the harbor, the Clamshell Alliance pro-claimed June 24 as the date for its fourth occupation at the Seabrook site.

The Alliance is a loose coalition of some 50 an t i -nuc lear g rouos f r o m a r o u n d New E n g l a n d . On Aug. 1,1976, when it was made up of just 15 groups, 18 Clamshellers marched onto tne newly bulldozed site and sat down. Three weeks later there were 180, and on Apr. 30, 1977, more than 2,000 people did it azain, with 1,414 arrested.

Strictly committed to Gandhian non-violence, t he Clamshel l has required that all Seabrook occupi-ers join "affinity groups" of eight to 20 people and undergo special training in the tactics oi peaceful r e s i s t a n c e . The a f f in i ty groups , which inc lude s u p p o r t e r s who camp out near the protest site but don't "occupy" it, are designed to function as a network of extended famil ies . Decision mak ing is by concensus, through lengthy group discussions ra ther than majority-rule voting.

The Clamshal l o rgan iza t ion is s imi lar ly decen t r a l i zed . Local groups send representatives to a biweekly coordinating committee apportioned by region. The com-mittee discusses major decisions and sends them back to the local groups, waiting for concensus to develop. The decision to reoccupy, for example , was made at a Congress involving 300 people and requiring unanimity on all major decisions. The Alliance structure is designed to eliminate alienation; everyone has a say, and though t h e p r o c e s s is slow, minor i ty rights are preserved.

This e m p h a s i s on communi ty o rgan iz ing preva i l s among the more t h a n t h r e e dozen d i rec t -action alliances that have sprung up ac ros s t he coun t ry to f igh t reactors, uranium mining, atomic waste storage and global weapon-ry. The anti-nuclear movement's f u t u r e a s a coalit ion t h a t can mature and survive to deal with other issues hinges on this popular participation. Mega-issues inevit-ably become local ones, translating into taxes and rate hikes, drained water and dead lobsters.

One place the right and left have converged in this country is on the issue of community control, and the desire to make decisions in which individuals actually count for s o m e t h i n g . I ndeed , if t he movement is to survive both victo-ries and defeats, it has to be built on that kind of scale, a network firmly rooted on grassroots needs as well as familiarity and trust .

In t h a t l ight , o rgan iz ing t h e folks next door may be the most meaningful political act going. The atom can't hold a candle to the power of communi ty act ion. Nothing infuriates the conserva-tive, working-class Seabrookers more than the fact tha t their town voted against the plant twice - and it's still being built. With seven neighboring towns in agreement,

the New Hampshire seacoast has become friendly terri tory for the kind of mass civil d i sobedience that in anti-war days might have provoked a shower of brickbats.

"No Nukes!" has become virtual-ly synonymous with the demand for solar power, and beyond that, community control of a decentral-ized energy system. At its bottom line, one could paint the transition as purely mechani-cal. The numbers are there, and breakthroughs in the solar field occur a lmost month ly . Some experts argue that nuclear econo-mics have already made the shift inevitable, and desperate corpo-rate efforts to monopolize the new technology u n d e r s c o r e t h a t suspicion.

In contrast to nuclear, the solar scenario promises no waste and accelerated growth, focusing on human needs and long-range survival, rather than short-term capital investment. Solar collec-tors, wind mills and small hydro plants can open the door to energy self-sufficiency. Cheap materials, elementary engineering and main-t e n a n c e and a un ive r sa l fuel supply mean solar equipment can be owned and operated by towns, neighborhoods, tenants and even individual households.

The barriers to this program are political, not technological. It is public power t h a t t e r r i f i e s the corporations, and gives the solar side its grassroots appeal.

But none of it can really happen until the nukes are stopped. The r e s e a r c h , deve lopmen t and con-struction capital has to be freed, and the margin of demand pre-served, before solar can really roll. And it will happen, as some key alliances are made -- the first one with organized labor.

The AFL-CIO, and particularly the construction trades' councils, have been the nuclear industry's key s u p p o r t e r s ou t s ide Wall Street . As a movement with clear middle-class roots, environmental-ists have been remarkably uncon-scious of working-c lass needs . Factory workers are, after all, the first to suffer from air-borne pollu-tion. But ecologists rarely notice the problem until it surfaces down-river or downwind. Then factory workers again suffer as the plants are shut and jobs lost because of t he d i f fus ion of chemicals they work with in concentrated form every day.

M a n a g e m e n t has been more

than happy to lay the unemploy-ment problem on environmental-ists. But ecological problems-- and s o l u t i o n s - c a n n o t be s e p a r a t e d from worker control of industry. A shi f t to solar would d i rec t a capital-intensive economy toward one built on labor. Few industries create as paltry jobs-per-dollar as nuclear power; the money goes for heavy e q u i p m e n t and exot ic materials rather than human work and wages.

Solar e n e r g y , recyc l ing and conserva t ion c r ea t e , by many estimates, two to six times the jobs-per-dollar as either nuclear or oil. The jobs are safer, cleaner, closer to home and f a r more accessible to the basic skills of the general population. Moving from heavy, centralized energy to light, scattered sources would make a significant step on the road to full employment.

The solar industry might not, however, produce the high-paying, specializea jobs that make union organizing and dues collecting con-ven ien t . Nor do the pos i t ions exist now, as they do at nuclear facilities. That's a problem that won't be overcome until the money starts to flow the other way.

Despite this, a solar fu ture has become increasingly attractive to labor's progressive wing. Miners, fa rm w o r k e r s , au to w o r k e r s , machinists and sheet metal work-e rs h a v e all t a k e n s t r o n g anti-nuc lear , or pro-solar , pos i t ions ; and t h e last t h r e e have skills quickly transferable to a growing solar industry.

In t h e 1950's, f o r m e r Uni ted Auto Workers president Walter Reuther engineered the first anti-nuclear legal intervention (against Fermi I, at Monroe, Mich.) and was a strong advocate of cutting back weapons e x p e n d i t u r e s to create employment. But only one-fourth of this country's 96 million workers are now unionized, and the revitalization of labor, one of Amer ica ' s mos t i m p o r t a n t pro-gressive movements, is key to any gene ra l m o v e m e n t for social c h a n g e - i n c l u d i n g t he push for solar power.

As primarily a rural campaign, the anti-nuclear movement must make inroads in the cities. The reactors serve urban consumers, but a re kept out of their sight.

On the other hand, nearly every

Hope history professor Michael Petrovich has been selected to be P r e s i d e n t C a r t e r ' s i n t e r p r e t e r during the upcoming (March 5-9) s tate visit ot Yugoslavian Presi-dent Marshal Tito.

A native of Yugoslavia and a former escort interpreter for the U.S. Department oi State, Petro-vich was selected af ter undergoing an evaluation in Washington, D.C. last week.

None of the state department 's present roster of escort interpre-ters "seemed up to this important task," according to Nora Lejins, chief of t h e l anguage se rv ices division at the s tate department.

" T h e n a m e of D r . Michael Petrovich was recalled as being a s u p e r l a t i v e e sco r t i n t e r p r e t e r b e t w e e n 1961-66, be fo re ne en-gaged in academic pursuits," said Ms. Lejins.

"Dr. Petrovich clearly emerged as the best, both in interpreting ability and command of English and S e r b o - C r o a t i a n , " said Ms. Lejins following the evaluation in Washington.

D r . P e t r o v i s h will leave for Washington, D.C. this Sunday for a week's briefing prior to Tito's visit.

"I am very honored to have been s e l e c t e d , " said P e t r o v i c h . "The Presidency embodies what Ameri-ca is all about and I am privileged to be able to do my part."

Since being selected, Petrovich says he has spent a lot of time r e a d i n g a b o u t P r e s i d e n t C a r t e r and studying his use of words and speaking style.

"An interpreter doesn't inter-pret words as much as he does the man; I guess you can say an inter-preter is the speaker's alter ego," said Petrovich. "An interpreter needs more than a knowledge of the language; it is important that he be aware of current social and political issues."

Petrovich describes President Carter as a concise talker who is

ca re fu l in s t r u c t u r i n g his sentences.

Dr. Petrovich, 44, came to the U.S. at the age of 21. In 1965, while w o r k i n g as a s t a t e d e p a r t m e n t i n t e r p r e t e r he vis i ted Holland, Michigan with a Yugoslavian official who had come to Hope to visit Dr. Paul Fried, director of i n t e rna t i ona l educa t ion at the college.

Former Hope President Calvin A. VanderWerf subsequently invi-ted Petrovich to join the Hope history faculty.

He joined the Hope faculty in 1966 and holds t ne rank of associate professor of history.

From 1974 to 1976, he was with the International Studies Institute at Grand Valley State Colleges as associate professor of history and international relations. In the last 11 yea r s , he has been act ively involved in international studies as a teacher in, and administrator of, an American summer program in Yugoslavia.

He holds a B.A. d e g r e e in poli t ical science f rom S h e p h e r d College, and a masters degree in international relations and a Ph.D. in history from the University of Chicago.

Last fall he was appointed by the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) to a review panel to evaluate proposals submitted to the U. S. Office of Educa t ion for g roup p ro j ec t s abroad and fore ign cur r icu lum c o n s u l t a n t s in modern fore ign language training and area stu-dies . He eva lua ted proposa ls relative to East European studies.

In t he pas t s eve ra l yea r s , Petrovich served on five federal panels of scholars, including the prestigious Fulbright-Hays Doc-to ra l D i s se r t a t i on and Facu l ty R e s e a r c h Abroad p r o g r a m s in 1974 and 1975, and the National Defense Education Act Programs (NDFL) Title VI in 1976 and 1977.

U Tale of Two Cities "to air " T h i n k i n g of Hol land ," public

television station WGVC's month-ly look at news of interest to West Michigan's Dutch community takes a special look at the roots and traditions of its people in A TALE OF TWO CITIES, to be shown Sunday, March 5, a t 1:00 p.m.

p - P r o d u c e d by t h e Evangel ica l Broadcasting Corporation (E.O.) of

l t h e N e t h e r l a n d s in coopera t ion with the Dutch Immigrant Society to honor the American Bicenten-nial, the program examines the cultural and ethnic ties binding Holland, Michigan and Pella, Iowa to their common homeland.

The first half of the one-hour specia l focuses on t he small farming community of Pella, Iowa, described by early settlers as a "high ridge between two rivers." Some 80 per cent of the city's 7,000 inhabitants are of Dutch ancestry and t h e i r in f luence is a p p a r e n t everywhere as the camera pans f r o m common Dutch s u r n a m e s carved in weathered tombstones to t he well p r e s e r v e d , old f a sh ioned s t o r e and g r i s t mill. Pella is also the home of Central Col lege, which p layed a unique role in t h e educa t ion of ear ly Dutch immigrants. It was founded by a group of Iowa Baptists at the request of the Dutch settlers, who desired a "religious influence" in

educating their young but were unab le to e s tab l i sh the i r own school.

The second half of the program j o u r n e y s to Hol land, Michigan where water was also an impor-tant factor in determining its early sett lement. After first considering Wisconsin , a g roup of Dutch immigrants in the early 1800's led by Rev. Albertus C. Van Raalte founded a community near Black L a k e in W e s t Michigan which e v e n t u a l l y became Holland. Though earlier sett lers by-passed t h e a r ea t h ink ing it " w o r t h l e s s swampland," Van Raalte's group drew upon the experience passed down from generations of Dutch farmers to reclaim the land. Like t h e i r c o u n t e r p a r t s in Pel la , the residents of Holland also wished a religious influence in higher educa-tion and founded Hope College in 1851. The Dutch cameras show the fruits of their labors as they exist today.

A T A L E OF TWO CITIES explores the sense of "community" s h a r e d by all Amer i cans , no m a t t e r w h a t t he i r coun t ry of origin.

IFC vetoes choice If there is one emot ion pervading the

Uni ted States in these late seventies equal in range to the apa thy tha t everyone talks abou t but is too apa the t ic to react to, it is f ea r : fear of change , fear of the un-fami l ia r . Recently this fear has seemed to most of ten hand i cap women.

W h a t do Amer ican citizens of both sexes fear losing th rough the passage of the ERA? Men will lose none of their positive status; women will lose none of theirs. T h e only th ing that will be assured with the ERA is tha t men and women will be assured in the letter of the law the right to choice.

And choice seems to be the first victim of the irrational fear seen in America today. W o m e n lose the choice to pursue unconventional occupations without ostra-cism. W o m e n lose the right to de te rmine for themselves when the fetus they carry is a separate life. W o m e n lose the right

to jo in whatever social groups they please and feel comfor tab le in, regardless of the sex of the major i ty of the members .

It is not only women who lose when women are discr iminated against . Men are forced into a position in which they cannot be themselves: they are forced to assume the role of the aloof, the uncaring. They are forced to limit their fr iendships with women to a superficial level, to do away with honesty in many of their rela-tionships because they need to be m u c h concerned with main ta in ing an image. Fur thermore , m e n deny themselves valu-able interaction with fully half of the h u m a n race.

Now to the case in point: One cannot help but be disappointed in the IPC's actions regarding the Centurian fraternity upon a woman's pledging. We are at Hope for the purpose of liberal education; one would hope tha t those of us who be-lieve in the intrinsic value of liberal edu-cation would also believe that we have a vital role in the shap ing of society for the succeeding genera t ion , and in mak ing a society which will suppor t us through our l ifetime. We need to feel a responsibility to openmindedness , and an afinity for healthy change.

To read or not to read T o the Editor,

T h e Shakespeare Mara thon begins to-day at noon. This fifty hour d rama t i c read ing is the beginning of a f u n d raising drive to enrich the DeWitt Cultural Center, to make it more of a center for cul ture . O n e of the ways we hope to achieve this goal is to commission a ma jo r piece of sculpture for the center .

Mor ta r Board, the sponsors of the Marathon and the subsequent drive, would

like to thank all s tudents, faculty, and adminis t ra tors who will be par t ic ipat ing, both as readers and audience. T h e project would not be possible without this sup-por t . W e would also like to thank the Greek members who will be act ing as our fund-collectors f r o m the s tudent body du r ing the coming week.

We hope the s tudent body will be

present at the read ing throughout the weekend, and that each member of the Hope community will make a contribution to the drive in the coming week. Whe the r you decide to read or not to read, this can be an enr iching and enjoyable event for all.

Fraternity responds Dear Editor,

In response to last week s letter con-cerning the Arcad ian Talent show, we acknowledge the criticism of Janet Swan-son, and apologize to any of you who were o f fended .

T h e Honorab le Rober t Griff in U.S. Senator

Dear Senator, Statesmanship in my opinion urgently

requires that the vote on the new Cana l Trea ty be Yes! Under present world as-pects giving a little now certainly is wiser than risking to lose everything later on . T h e explanat ions given by President Car te r and his adminis t ra t ion show tha t we lose practically no th ing at the Cana l .

O n the contrary, we'll gain the respect and trust of the rest of the world with such a treaty. We'll accumula te positive good will which we sorely need if we are to re ta in any measurab le inf luence in other internat ional problems, many of which are m u c h weightier than the P a n a m a Canal a n d with which we have to deal as one of the world's two super powers.

Viet N a m should have taught us that "super power" does no longer mean tha t we can push everybody a round just as we please. It is distressing tha t a large par t of our nation, maybe a majority, do not seem to have learned any lessons f rom our recent history.

Do we want a n o t h e r jungle gueril la war r ight at ou r back door , and do we want to go on alienating Latin-American coun-tries which in the f u t u r e will increasingly become more i m p o r t a n t for the political and economic well-being of our na t ion than any other par t of the world? I wonder how many of our U.S.-jingoists of today would be willing to shoulder the rifle tomorrow and sweat it out in tha t Pana-m a n i a n s teaming tropical cau ld ron .

W e can also be sure tha t those inter-na t ional powers which are now delivering the means and e q u i p m e n t for s t i r r ing u p all the present t roub le in various par t s of Afr ica will gleefully help l ighting a veri-table hell of t roub le right at Uncle Sam's back door.

If our na t ion rejects the Cana l Trea ty , we then also be t te r stop trying to m a k e capi ta l out of the h u m a n rights issue with which at present we think we can m a k e Russia squ i rm. All we'll get f r o m the international community on h u m a n rights demarches will be a derisive l aughte r .

This is also not just "Carter 's T rea ty" . T h e r e must have been compel l ing reasons for Presidents Johnson and Nixon, too, to consider an adapta t ion of the Canal situa-tion to present day world realities as imperat ive in the interest of long-range U.S. in ternat ional goals.

Politicians roll with shor t - range politi-cal punches . S ta tesmen should be above inflexible emotional outbursts of the voting masses which a re condi t ioned on now obsolete and na r row sent iments of the

glorious past . I hope tha t you are a s ta tesman and tha t you vote -- YES!

Respectful ly, G e r h a r d F. Megow

Adni presents concert

be

With an a l r e a d y s u b s t a n t i a l career throughout Europe, Israel and the Far East , twenty-seven

e a r old Dan ie l Adn i , w h o has en praised as "a pianist with an

almost transcendental technique and a fine sense of lyricism," shall be appearing in a piano recital this even ing in D i m n e n t Memoria l Chapel at eight o'clock.

Mr. Adni, who performs exten-sively abroad has appeared with virtually all the major orchestras in E n g l a n d including: t he BBC orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic and the Liverpool Philharmonic. In addition to his England tours, Mr. Adni has given numerous concerts and recitals in the Netherlands, Germany (with the Berlin Radio O r c h e s t r a ) , S w i t z e r l a n d and Africa.

Highlights of Mr. Adni's 1977-78 U.S. t o u r s have included the U n i v e r s i t y of Chicago and the U n i v e r s i t y of Cal i fornia a t Riverside.

Mr. Adni's Holland appearance is p rov ided by a Hope Music D e p a r t m e n t subsc r ip t ion to the Young Concer t A r t i s t s S e r i e s which is s imilar to the G r e a t P e r f o r m a n c e S e r i e s in t h a t the college pays a firm to bring young art ists to the campus.

Mr . Adni , who has re leased sixteen classical recordings thus far in his c a r e e r , shall be performing four works this even-ing. The f i r s t se lec t ion is t he second of the two sonatas of Opus 27 popular ly known as the Moonlight Sonata in C-sharp Minor by Ludwig van Beethoven.

The s o n a t a s of th is per iod of Beethoven's life show a wide range of s t v l e s and fo rms unl ike t he usual Classical fas t - s low-fas t movement arrangement.

The next work is also a sonata. By Franz Schubert, the Sonata in A Minor is t h e f i r s t of t h r e e s o n a t a s composed in 1825-26 acclaimed by Schumann as being " m a s t e r l y . " S c h u b e r t , in his sonatas, seems to have been influ-enced more by Haydn and Mozart t han by Bee thoven . Thei r form focuses exclusively on the stan-da rd classical p a t t e r n s , bu t a re more lyric than dramatic.

Schubert also avails himself to expansive melodies and harmonic progressions.

After a brief intermission, Mr. Adni shall perform three piano-

f o r t e p i eces by Arnold Schoen-berg, an Austrian composer of the twentieth century's post-Romanti-cism period. Though he began to learn the violin at age seven and at the s a m e t ime composed many violin duets, his family did not recognize his musical talent.

Finally, with the death of his father, he had to earn his living by working in a bank. There he met three young men of his own age who helped begin his real musical and l i t e r a r y educa t ion . Soon Schoenberg was writing numerous compositions including opera, cho-ral and o r c h e s t r a l works and pianoforte music.

The three pieces Mr. Adni shall be playing, Massig - Sehr langsam - Bewegt, were written in 1908 for the pianoforte or in more popular terminology, the piano. The word

goes back to the early Italian piano builders who needed a name to differentiate between their instru-m e n t and t h e more commonly known harpsichord.

Because t h e piano could be played at various dynamic levels (as opposed to the harpsichord) they e:ave it an Italian name -pianofc loud. l ianolor te - mean ing so f t and

The concluding w o r d s of t h e evening are by Franz Liszt. Born in Hungary in 1811, the life of Liszt was one of the most brilliant of the Romantic era.

Tune up your reading skills About 85 per cent of the work

you do as a col lege s t u d e n t involves reading. It is the single most important learning skill, and ye t many s t u d e n t s a r e bogged down in poor reading habits that can make studying a chore.

Reading is the visual ability to understand words and their rela-t ionsh ip one to a n o t h e r . To improve reading skills you must increase your capacity to see and grasp the groupinc; of words, or ideas, at a speed that is comfort-able for you. The key is to move your eyes at a ra te that allows your b ra in to a b s o r b t h e main ideas printed on a page.

R e m e m b e r , your eyes , like fingers for the piano or legs for jogging, must be trained to be skillful. If you would like to tune up your reading skills, these basic steps will help. S T E P 1 - E V A L U A T E YOUR READING HABITS

DO YOU VOCALIZE WORDS IN YOUR MIND, OR MOVE YOUR LIPS AS YOU READ? You may be using the childhood habit of sounding out each word. This slows you down.

DO STRANGE WORDS CON-STANTLY STOP YOUR PRO GRESS? Your vocabulary needs improving.

DO YOU READ EVERY SIN-GLE WORD SEPARATELY? Train your eyes to span phrases and to g roup t h o u g h t uni ts tntrpthpr

DO YOU HAVE TO BACK UP AND REREAD VERY OFTEN? You a r e not pay ing a t t e n t i o n . Force yourself to concentrate.

DO YOU READ EVERYTHING AT THE SAME SPEED? Your speed should vary with the subject matter .

ARE YOU READING FASTER NOW THAN WHEN YOU WERE IN HIGH SCHOOL? Skil lful

r e a d i n g is an a r t and needs continual practice.

STEP 2 - PROVIDE THE RIGHT ATMOSPHERE

To read effectively, you need to set the scene for concentration. Pick a quiet place where you can read with a minimum of interrup-t ion. Have a pencil r eady for taking notes.

Most indiv iduals find t h a t 15 inches away from their eyes is a comfo r t ab l e d i s t a n c e to hold a book. Make sure the lighting is good.

Radio, television, and music, all pull your attention away from the words and ideas you are reading. STEP 3 - USE YOUR EYES EFFICIENTLY

The eyes see printed words and transmit them to the brain. They are the key to how well you read.

EYES PERCEIVE WORDS ONLY WHEN THEY STOP MOVING OR MAKE WHAT IS CALLED A "FIXATION." During t he pause , the bra in r e g i s t e r s wha t t h e e y e s have seen . Depending on your eye span, you will perceive one, two or more w o r d s in each f ixat ion. The a v e r a g e college s t u d e n t , for example, has a span of 1.1 words and makes 4 fixations per second. By increasing the number of words your eyes include in each fixation, you increase your reading speed.

TRAIN YOUR EYES TO TAKE IN MORE THAN ONE WORD AT

A TIME. You can make your eyes fix on related words, phrases, or short lines in one brief stop. This sentence, for example, should be read in five fixations; "The cost of oil/has risen/ because of/ limited natural resources/ and increased imports."

VOCALIZING WORDS, EVEN IN YOUR MIND, SLOWS DOWN YOUR EYES. DON'T ALLOW YOUR EYES TO WANDER BACKWARD. Try not to reread sentences. You will find that you remember more if you can keep moving f o r w a r d . This does not mean, of course, that you cannot review what you have read.

MANY PEOPLE N E E D GLASSES TO READ WELL. Blurred words, constantly tired or itching eyes are signals for an eye examination. Don't put it off.

Orchestra presents concert The Hope Symphony Orchestra,

Dr . R o b e r t R i t s ema conduc tor , will present a concert of contempo-r a r y and roman t i c music on Tuesday, March 7 at 8:00 p.m. in Dimnent Memorial Chapel.

Featured on the program will be t he p e r f o r m a n c e of two unpub-lished compositions, both recent winners of the composition contest sponsored by the National School Orchestra Association. Receiving its first official performance will be the winner of the 1977 contest, Madison Overture, composed by Lowell Frye of the University of Southern Mississippi.

Mr. Frye describes the work as "being in arch form, using two major themes, the first very active and the second more lyrical. An a t t e m p t w a s made to ba lance dramatic and lyrical qualities, soli and tut t i work, and the amount of participation amone the different sections of the orchestra."

Second on the program will be Queensmere by S. T. Griebling of Akron , Ohio. Queensmere, t h e winner of the 1976 contest, was first heard in Holland at the con-cert concluding the NSOA summer conference of tha t year.

Concluding the first half of the program will be Chorale Fantasy by William Pressor, a piece built on the chorale melody "Christ lag

in Todesbanden." Following intermission the or-

chestra will perform the magnifi-cent Symphony Number Two in D Major by Jean Sibelius. This major work replaces on the program the originally-scheduled Symphony Concertante by Jongen for organ and o r c h e s t r a , wi th o rgan i s t Roger Davis. The music for the Jongen piece was ntpt available at this time, and has been resche-duled for performance in the fall of

Model United Nations on campus next week

400 Students from at least 35 d i f f e r e n t Michigan high schools will visit the campus on March 9th and 10th to participate in the Sixth Annual Hope Model United Na-tions. This year's Model United Na t ions , run by the Poli t ical Science Department, promises to be bigger and better than ever.

The Model United Nations has invited Congressman David Stock-man, Republ ican of Michigan 's F o u r t h Dis t r i c t , to de l iver the k e y n o t e a d d r e s s . C o n g r e s s m a n Stockman will speak to the high school delegates at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, March 10th -- all interested Hope s t u d e n t s and facul ty a re encouraged to attend.

The Congressman will speak in t he Main T h e a t r e of D e W i t t -there should be seats available in the balcony.

In connect ion with t he Hope Alumni in Residence Program, tne Model U.N. will also have Mr. David Boerigter on campus for the entire week. Mr. Boerigter, who is a foreign service officer currently serving as Special Assistant to the California Secretary of State, will address U.N. delegates on March 9th and a va r i e ty of poli t ical sc ience and economics c lasses throughout the week.

When asked about the purpose

of the program, student director Rob T o r r e s e n exp la ined , " T h e Model U.N. g ives high school students the opportunity to take on the roles of professional diplo-m a t s and to work with o t n e r delegates in a simulated United Nations."

He s t a t ed f u r t h e r , " I t is our hope and goal that each student come away from th is one-day expe r i ence wi th an inc reased a w a r e n e s s of both t he Un i t ed Nations and contemporary inter-national issues."

The d e l e g a t e s p a r t i c i p a t e in Secu r i t y Councils, a Pol i t ical Commi t t ee , and , of course , t h e General Assembly (to be held in the Main Theater of DeWitt). The sixty students who participate in the Security Councils arrive on Thursday evening and spend the n igh t in d o r m i t o r y rooms on campus.

The issues for this year's Model Uni ted Na t ions include in t e rna -t ional t e r r o r i s m , t r a n s f e r of resources, and crisis situations in South Africa. High school students a r e judged on the i r abi l i ty to authentically represent their coun-tries and awards are presented on Friday afternoon. The entire day is always an exciting and educa-tional experience for all involved.

Mascara causes infection Mascara and other eye makeups

can cause infection and blindness, the F D A announced r ecen t ly . After receiving several reports of cornea l u lcera t ion caused by bac t e r i a in t roduced when the cornea was scratched, the FDA said it plans to require cosmetic manufacturers to include a preser-va t i ve in masca ra and o t h e r cosmetics.

The bac te r i a is one o f ten p r e s e n t on the skin, and is

absorbed by the cosmetics through .the applicator wand. Without an adequate preservative system the micro-organism can survive and multiply inside the container.

When the mascara is used again, if the mic ro -organ i sms on t h e wand come into contact with a scratched or damaged cornea, the eye can become infected. If the infection isn't t reated immediate-ly, it can lead to partial or total blindness in the injured eye.

city in the U.S. is vulnerable, in event of a nuclear accident, to a f r a n t i c a t t e m p t a t evacua t ion . Detroit was on the brink in 1966, and Boston, New York, Philadel-phia, Pi t tsburg, Chicago and Los Aneeles are only a few of the cities within 50 miles of active plants.

It 's also in the cities tnat the energy economy must ultimately be balanced. Inefficient factories, wasteful skyscrapers and inade-q u a t e publ ic t r a n s p o r t a t i o n a re a s s a u l t s aga ins t n a t u r e . Any effective campaign to change that must combine tne need for jobs with a revitalized neighborhood e n v i r o n m e n t and a localized energy supply. It 's an image that seems fartetched but urban use of solar and wind power is already being pioneered at the East 11th Street project in Manhattan, and elsewhere. Power tha t is corpo-rate, expensive and rural-genera-ted can only prolong this country's i n n e r c i t y agony . A sane u rban e n e r g y s c e n e - a n d a m o v e m e n t based there to achieve it- is as essential to stopping nukes as it is to humanizing city life.

The nuclear industry has also displayed an amazing knack for sitting reactors on Native Ameri-can burial grounds. Jndian lands contain a high percentage of this country's uranium reserves (from ten to 90 percent depending on sources), and a significant number of N a t i v e A m e r i c a n s mine the stuff, and get cancer from it. The uny ie ld ing r e p r e s s i o n of Na t ive American activism stems at least in part from the politics of coal and nuclear fuel; so does the current c a m p a i g n of forced s te r i l i za t ion ( a f f ec t i ng 24 p e r c e n t of Na t ive American women, according to the Bureau of Indian Affairs) and the almost nonexistent food and health p r o g r a m s on t he r e s e r v a t i o n s .

Studies concur....

N a t i v e A m e r i c a n s have long played an active role in the anti-nuclear campaign, and the issue is i n s e p a r a b l e f r o m t h e h i s to ry of Government attacks on them.

Nor can it be seen apart from t h e r e v e r b e r a t i o n s in Sou th Africa, where 20 percent of the West 's uranium reserves reside, and in the third world, where the acquisition of reactors significant-ly ups the odds on a nuclear holo-caust.

1978 is opening onto one of those specia l e r a s when social c r i ses b r i n g a d r a m a t i c u p s u r g e in h u m a n e n e r g y a imed at b road social change. For all the obvious reasons, the anti-nuclear campaign is currently in the vanguard.

Major a t temps to stop reactor construction, snut down existing plants and force a showdown over nuclear weapons and waste stor-age can be expected at a score of atomic sites tnroughout the U.S. by this summer. The industry is down, but far from out. Even a m o r a t o r i u m on new plants will l eave s e v e r a l h u n d r e d r e a c t o r s operating here and abroad, and a giant weapons industry sucking up r e s o u r c e s , c h u r n i n g out w a s t e s and t h r e a t e n i n g ins t an t anni-hilation.

A nuc lea r economy is a war economy, and a tomic r eac to r s , instruments of corporate terror . As long as they operate, there will be a negative tension in human life that makes all other moves toward social harmony that much more difficult.

But if the nukes are the war brought home, then the movement to stop them must be one of peace. The major breakthroughs in anti-nuclear politics have come through an ability to communicate with a diverse citizenry on a person-to-person basis. The Clamshell is now asking that future occupiers do neighborhood canvassing before they sit down at the site; and the a t t ack on t h e i n d u s t r y ' s p r ime

Pregnancy tests relationships by Signey Jay Lazarus

Campus Digest News Service

"Is he serious? The way to find out is to have a baby," says Dr. Marijean Suelzle about the rise in teenage pregnancies.

Dr. Suelzle, an assistant profes-sor, at Northwestern University, said that the dramatic increase in teenage pregnancy is caused by teens wanting to become adults and test the relationship.

A J o h n Hopkins Un ive r s i ty study released in the beginning of F e b r u a r y showed a 33 pe rcen t increase nation-wide in teen preg-nancies between 1971 and 1976.

"Why else, when young people know about birth control, would they keep hav ing bab ies?" Dr. Suelzle asked.

Dr. Suelzle believes, "It's a re-a f f i r m a t i o n of f emin in i ty and a testing of the relationship with the male.

"But the big thing is affirmation of adult status. You want desper-ately to be grown up so you say, 'Look, I've got this child so you have to t rea t me as an adult.'

"One result has been that the teen keeps the child instead of

Indeed, peaceful resistance may well be to traditional politics what solar p o w e r is to ene rgy ; the reality is not yet fully tangible, but the potential is infinite.

"Then the child ends up a pro-blem in child care, because the teenager eventually finds out she can't handle it and the child is placed for adoption at a later time.

"Many of the biggest problems in child care come from a teenage, single-parent background. Some teens make good parents, but not many are qualified."

The John Hopkins study noted that about 93 percent of babies born to teenagers out of wedlock are kept by the mother.

It also stated that only one in e v e r y seven t e e n a g e r s in te r -viewed used contraceptives.

Dr. C. H. Moss, president of the Voluntary Sterilization Associa-tion of Indiana, said contraceptives are shunned because planning for sex is seen as sinful.

" W e ' v e run into s i t ua t ions where a young person won't use contraceptives because she consi-d e r s she is s infu l for t h ink ing about sex. The assumption is if she doesn ' t t a k e t he pill she isn ' t sinful.

A f t e r t h e ' g roup ' r e igned su-preme musically in the Sixties, we came into this decade waiting for a musical messiah to dominate the era the way that the Beatles once did. I t neve r h a p p e n e d and contemporary music diversified as a result, destroying rock-rhethoric and absorbing influences of jazz, coun t ry and classical into t h a t t h r o w a w a y g e n r e known as Rock-n-Roll . More r ecen t ly the solo a r t i s t has become popula r again, whether your tastes are for Frank Zappa or Linda Ronstadt. Singer songwriters too are enjdy-ing a bit of a comeback.

Three artists with roots stretch-ing back to the S ix t ies have recently released new albums to mixed reviews: Leonard Cohen; Jon i Mitchel l ; and Randy New-man. All t h r e e h a v e d i s t inc t ive styles, but are united by commit-ment to the material they perform. Each has had t h e i r s n a r e of popula r and cr i t ica l successes , either by themselves or through i n t e r p r e t a t i o n s of the i r songs . Cohen/Mitchell/Newman songs of-ten contain lyrics tha t can stand on their own, away from the melodies of the song, yet are sometimes over-shadowed by the tune. The respective albums they produce a r e all s e p a r a t e e n t i t i e s . They don ' t have fo rmu la s for the con t en t of the i r a lbums , as is common of the hard-sell commer-cialism in music today . They cha l lenge the i r aud iences and themselves -- experimenting and sometimes failing.

Randy Newman has gotten a lot of publicity lately for a song of his entitled "Short People," which has received more attention than it deserves for its attack of bigotry misunderstood as a slur against the non-tall. It is a selection from Newman's fifth studio album Little Criminals, and is an at tempt to cut in on the A.M. market. So far it has w o r k e d . U n f o r t u n a t e l y his songs seem a bit weaker this time around. It also appears that the r ecord has been f lawless ly pro-duced in order to compensate. The orchestration is as lush as ever, emphasizing the effect of a sound track for Newman's little tales of Americana. The strings especially a r e used more e f fec t ive ly than ever before. The Eagles are an interesting addition as back up to Newman's somewhat slurred and somnambulent lead vocals. Espe-cially on "Rider In The Rain," an absurd little ditty about a foppish cowboy, s t r a i g h t out of Andy Warhol's movie "Lonesome Cow-boys." Contrasted with this is the beautiful simplicity of a song like "I'll Be Home" which was once recorded by Harry Nillson. New-man's adaptation of a personae is well used in a number of songs, among them "Texas Girl At Her Father ' s Funeral" and "Sigmund Freud's Impersonation of Albert Einstein In America," the latter dealing with our country's sublimi-nal machismo. As always, there is t he amb iva l ence of N e w m a n ' s approach to his material which is both ironic and poignant to the listener. There are flaws in the package of course, but a f te r three y e a r s of a se l f -desc r ibed "d ry spell" it is good to hear music of thought again.

Leonard Cohen's songs in the past have expressed a repressed sensuality mounting in climactic

b a t t l e s b e t w e e n i ts male and female p r o t a g o n i s t s or b e t w e e n the male and female in oneself. Mos t f amous for his song "Su-z a n n e , " Cohen himself usual ly comes across as vulnerable and sensitive in these mock epics with simple light melodies.

" D e a t h Of A Ladies Man ," Cohen's latest album, exchanges i t ' s t h e m e of s ensua l i t y for sexuality and possibly a touch of misogyny added for good measure. T h e pa i r ing of th i s i n t r o v e r t e d balladeer with the flamboyant Phil Spector produces a most unusual partnership that exaggerates both g e n t l e m e n ' s weak poin ts . The music, for the most part written by Spec to r ( in famous for t he echo-chamber, wall of sound effect, of such tunes as the original "Da Do Ron Ron"), is loud, layered and a t r i f l e dull a lmos t obscu r ing Cohen's lyrics and vocals.

As for t he lyr ics t h e m s e l v e s , they are much darker and graphic this time around. There can be nothing said to be subtle in a song e n t i t l e d " D o n ' t Go Home With Your Hard-On." The album is a bit hard to listen to due to it's sordid and depressing nature, although a f r i end of mind who had been hav ing a d i f f icu l t t ime in his romantic relationships was sym-pathetic of Cohen. The title tune is a near ten minute cut detailing a psychic confrontation between two members of the opposite sex, and the man's ultimate fall from grace.

The earthiness of his songs has turned to mud. The reason could very well be that Spector, without cons ide ra t ion of anyone else associated with the album, decided to r e l ea se t h e m a t e r i a l on the record from the demo tapes that he conf i sca ted and sol i tar i ly mixed. If novelty is your bag, you may enjoy Cohen's trip through his personalized hell. Otherwise check out t h e r e s t of Leonard Cohen's catalog of records, which if not beau t i fu l , a r e at leas t intelligent.

Joni Mitchell recently released her double album entitled "Don Juan's Reckless Daughter" which is her most divergent album to date. There is only one song on the se t t h a t is r e m i n i s c e n t of her earlier folk posturings, with the majority of material even more

heavily jazz influenced than her last few albums. The musicians are about the same as on her "Hejira" album of a year ago. Most of them are from Weather Report. Their influence is quite strong, as bass and percussion are more notice-able , especia l ly on " T h e Ten th World" Mitchell's first instrumen-tal collaboration with Airto and Chaka Khan among others letting loose. Also included in the package is a 16 minute side called "Paprika Plains" with Mitchell's re turn to the piano in an improvisation with o r c h e s t r a t i o n dubbed in. The majority of the lyrics presented on the sleeve are not sung and meant to be read silently to oneself. The n a m e s a k e of t he a lbum has Mitchell describing the separation of mind and body which is mostly Castenada, Little Byron.

Two of the songs on the album have been p r e v i e w e d b e f o r e : " J e r i c h o , " which or ig inal ly ap-peared on Mitchell's live album "Miles of Ais les" ; and " D r e a m -land" which was written while on the Rolling Thunder Review and later recorded by fellow compa-t r i o t Roger McGuin. McGuin 's version of "Dreamland" strangely enough sounds more Mitchellish than Jon i ' s own r e n d i t i o n . This shows t h a t Michell will not fit herself into a mold and imitate her pas t works . The song on t he record that has gotten the most criticism/acclaim is a track titled "Talk To Me," which has Mitchell t r y i n g to make con tac t wi th a silent lover, through small talk, a n y t h i n g , to t r y and gain a response from him.

I t is cu r ious why Mitchell decided to release a two record set which contains barely six minutes more material than her previous album. True, it is a bit self-indul-gent, something Mitchell has been accused of ofttimes. It seems more a transitional piece than anything else, with its random mixture of personal (painfully so) and quazi-political songs . T h e r e is no d i sce rnab le concept h e r e as on " H e j i r a ' s " t h e m e of e scape and flight. Still, it is vital music. It makes one wonder where Mitchell will go next. She will undoubtedly lose a few l i s t ene r s wi th this project, but she will gain some too. "It's just in dreams we fly."

Smokers ....beware!!!

by S. Jayu Lazarus Campus Digest News Service

His breathing started to return to normal; she was still panting a little. He reached over to the night table, groped around till he found the pack of cigarettes.

He shook one out of the pack, put it in his mouth, and lit up. Smoke curled off the burning tip of the cigarette as it glowed in the dark.

He inhaled, felt the smoke move gently into his lungs, then exhaled through his nose and mouth, the smoke looking like a big, gray, amorphous cloud.

The gray cloud of smoke from a cigarette is a complex mixture of approximately 1,000 different sub-stances and trillions of separate particles, all of them mixing and merging, breaking down and re-combining to form new com-pounds.

Over the years, scientists have been able to analyze these sub-s t a n c e s and iden t i fy those sub-s t a n c e s t ha t cause problems to smokers and nonsmokers.

In a journal published by the American Cancer Society, a Utah internist summarized what scien-tists have learned to date about cigarettes, their smoke, and its effect on the lungs.

As the smoker draws on the cigarette, the tip of the cigarette can reach temperatures of 1600 de-grees fahrenheit, yet even at this t e m p e r a t u r e t h e tobacco bu rns incompletely, producing the smoke that is drawn into the lungs.

As the smoke travels into the mouth, some of its components are filtered out by the unburnt tobac-co. These components will turn to smoke when t h e e m b e r s reach

them; doctors say this is why the smaller a cigarette gets, the more concentrated the smoke gets.

If the cigarette is smoked to the end, it will produce about one-fifth an ounce ol smoke.

Scientists say 85 percent of the smoke, by weight, consists of rela-tively harmless nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide gases.

About half of the remainder is a mixture of fine particles, and the rest is water and toxic gases.

The tens of trillions (a million billion or so) of fine particles are made up of nicotine and tar, a general name for the compound t ha t conta ins severa l cancer-causing agents.

Nicotine is, among other things, a nerve stimulant which increases blood pressure and heart rate, and stimulates the adrenal glands to put out more " f igh t or f l ight" hormones.

All this activity increases the heart 's need for oxygen.

In a normal individual , th is extra oxygen is easily supplied. But, if the arteries that supply the heart with oxygen-rich blood have become narrowed by fatty depo-sits, they may not be able to meet this demand.

The resu l t could be mild or ex t ens ive damage to the hea r t muscle.

In combinat ion with nicotine, which increases the hea r t ' s de-mand for oxygen, carbon mon-oxide, by decreasing the available oxygen, may con t r ibu te to the development of heart disease.

Cigarette smoke also contains acrolein, nitrogen dioxide, formal-dyhyde , hydrogen sulfide and ammonia , all which i r r i t a t e the lungs.

Acrolein and phenol, in combina-tion with other gases can produce

cancer because they are cocari-nogens.

The same gas used to execute prisoners in gas chambers, hydro-gen cyanide, is present in cigarette smoke.

All of these gases and particles go into a smoker's mouth, nose and throat after every puff.

One reason for a high rate of mouth cancer among smokers is because some of the particles and gases are absorbed by the mouth tissue.

The rest go into the lungs where they can stick to the bronchial tubes , or be absorbed into the b loods t ream. Because of t ha t , smokers have:

--A 30 times greater chance of lung cancer than nonsmokers.

He puffed on the cigarette for several minutes, blowing little smoke rings and pretending he was a dragon and blowing smoke out of his nose.

Lying at his side, she smelled the smoke and wrinkled her nose.

He laughed and went on smoking.

Mickey Mouse loses in Finland (CPS) - Wha t could be more

innocent than Donald Duck? Authorities in Helsinki think they have the answer.

The wa te r - logged wonder of Disney films is being banned in Helsinki libraries because officials say that his lifestyle is too racy and sets a bad example.

The c a r e f r e e duck with t h e sailor hat has been "going steady with the same woman for 50 years without result and this is hardly a model for t h e young , " Mat t i Holopainen, chairman of Helsinki's youth committee, told a recent city council meeting.

Donald's lifestyle clearly raised some official hass les . Not even Uncle Scrooge and nephews Huey,

Dewey and Looey escaped scrutiny.

The Donald Duck stories feature "not a single normal family, just aunts and uncles and nephews," Holopainen complained.

Donald, known in Finnish as "Aku Ankka," enjoys a circulation of almost 300,000 in Finland.

This is not the first time Donald Duck has come under attack. Left-oriented groups complained about t h e 'bourgeois ' view of life presented in Disney features while other critics taking a more nation-alistic tack, urged Finnish artists to produce a domestic series of comic book heroes.

A ch i ldren ' s home in t h e Communis t P a r t y -- domina ted

city of Kemi cancelled its Donald Duck subscription two years ago.

But while Donald is g e t t i n g ducked in Finland, all is well with Mickey Mouse, known as "Mikki Hiiri" who appears to pass the censors in Finland.

Women Cagers place third

T h e Hope W r e s t l i n g Squad ended a disappointing season last weekend by placing fifth in the MIAA out of six teams.

C a p t a i n B a r t Rizzo and Mike Sutton, Hope's two best wrest lers this season, were seeded first in their respective weight classes. Bo th , h o w e v e r , lost o p e n i n g m a t c h e s to t ough u n s e e d e d op-ponents and failed to place.

D i r k D o o r e n b o s and Pau l Garmirian wrestled well enough to take third places at 126 and 150 respectively.

Cliff Nicholson, out all season due to injury, came back to upset the number one seed at 190 and place second. Nicholson was up 5-3 with a minute remaining in the match, but ran out of ?as and ended up losing the match.

Coach G e o r g e K r a f t was dis-appointed in the results but looks

forward to the returning grapplers and the recrui ts for next year.

The Dutchmen were 0-4 in the MIAA and 2-11 overall.
