HA$AISH NEW YEAR

GEODESIC DORM APPEARS ON CAMPUS!Providence stepped down today

to bestow a unique new living struc-ture on campus. The new facility,to be called Russel Hall (or Rus-sel's folly-depending. . .) will bea major addition to the by nowde funct living complexes.

This amazing project was the yearlong work of a team of ChineseScientists, secretly struggling inSouthwestern's top-security Voorhiesunderground labs.

Assembled in a Ford motor plantby skilled technicians, the dorm issaid to be able to withstand a 20m.p.h. impact without even denting'

Early Saturday morning it waslowered in by an army helicoptercommanded by a platoon of kill-crazy soldiers. Luckily it wasfitted in place without incidentand soon made ready for habitation.

The dorm will be the object ofa study by the conbined efforts ofthe physics, math, and psych-departments.

Hopefully it will prove usefulin restructuring outmoded thoughtprocesses concerning housing.

Starting term II a group offive men and three women will takeup residence in Russell Hall,in hopes of performing an experi-ment in viable team interaction.

Advice and.help has been pour-ing in from all over the nation.Already our feathered friends haveofferred to paint the dorm a cheerywhite. (Not to mention the hordesof students offerring to test thedora's structural strength by simpleweight distribution.)

So remember folks--it'sGEOQUESIC!

This positive view of theCuban revolution is seldom aired inthe US hress which has virtuallyignored the island republic for tenyears.

This media myopia was quicklycured when Senators Jacob Javits(R-NY) and Claiborne Pell (D-RI)of the Senate Foreign RelationsCommittee boarded plane and flewoff to Havana, thus forcing therediscovery of Cuba--the same waythe press recently stumbled overChina which also lay in the nath ofdetente.

One month before the Javits-Pell junket, a group of student mjournalists traveled to Cuba at theinvitation of a Cuban student press

Cuba's economic structure hasbeen drastically affected by thetrade blocki;de by the Kennedyadministration in 1 521.

YES, OFCOURSEConcert Performance: YES

Tulsa, Oklahoma. December5, 1974

Although this group seemedto be in a rut there for a fewmonths, they've managed to showall that they're still intact -minus one dazzling, cloaked RickWakeman. In his stead is PatrickMoraz, who, despite the Wakemantradition, manages to give Yesa necessary bright new start.

With a stage set almostidentical to last late winter'stour, the group opened up theshow with a new twist. Insteadof "Siberian Khatru", they playedtheir new album about war andpeace, Relayers , which has beenout for a month now in England.It's a bit funkier than the pre-vious Tales From TopographicOceans, but the avant-garde ofYes is still there. The one syl-lable word, "tcha", that wasshouted out in a part of the newalbum is reminiscent of "SiberianKhatru" and lead singer Jon An-derson's improvisations duringwarm-ups before certain songs.After their next song, "And Youand I", they played "lose to theEdge", complete with a mirroreddisk that splashed points oflight around the whole auditorium,

Jon Anderson was a bit dis-concerted about the critics'response to the previous album,so the band made a startlingchange when they played "Ritual",the fourth side of the double set.They broke off after the firstfive minutes and went into a well.worked medley of the other threesides.Then they resumed theirpath and Allan White tore intohis drum solo, above him,aflapping canopy that pulsed withthe music. Behind the zippy-playing Moraz was a flashing, red,orange and yellow ribcage.

Encore numbers included"Roundabout" and South Side Ofthe Sky", the latter being anedited version, since Moraz maynot have been capable of dup-licating Wakeman's piano solo,but his use of the Moog synthe-sizer was definately a welcomesuprise.

under the direction of Tony Garner.The cast portrayed their charict-ers with the necessary energy;nolack of vocal talent was evidenteither.Seven Southwestern studentswere in the cast which featuredOukada Bass,Ralph Carl,Roy Crow-der,Ellen Daniels,Sherri Hurdle,

A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FROMJOHN FIRE LAME DEER,ASIOUX INDIAN MEDICNE MAN

s 16l2 US D60sIDmw (Made in Taiwan)

The Chinese Opera came to Memphis on the 25th of November on

its first tour ever of the western world.For me,the occaision wasa very nostalgic one,not having seen any Chinese opera in almost15 years,since my early childhood days in Taiwan.

The opera troupe that performed was from Taiwan,and performsthe traditional Peking Opera,one of the oldest theatrical art

forms in the world.The traditional Peking opera was banned on the

mainland during the Cultural Revolution,and now only revolutionaryoperas are presented there.It was the Fu-Hsing opera troupe that

performed here,not the Ta P'ung opera troupe that I used to watch

in my childhood,as I was led to believe.China's operatic tradition is a lot older than that of Europe,

thus it is a lot more tradition-bound nad stylized.The viewerof the Chinese Opera enters a highly symbolic world,where a oer-tain configuration of tables and chairs represents a mountain,asoldier waving a black flag stands for wind,and every hand gesturetells a story.Costumes are fantastically ornate,and many painted

faces iare nothing short of psychedelic.The oroponderance of fight

scenes involving complex acrobatic techniques is something to

marvel at,and such scenes never fail to be crowd-pleasers.When I

lived in Taiwan,instead of watching cowboys and Indians on T.V.

(there was no T.V.)I would go to the opera and watch one army

finish off the other with equal delight.To western ears,the music seems repitive and dull,the singing

more like shouting-strained and pushed.The leading ladies speak with

cooing voices.The actors who play the parts of young bachelors

sing in a falsetto voice,and speak in both registers,a stylizedimitation of a young man whose voice hasn't stooaed changing.

The :ro'ram was one of maximumn vriety,especially designed forwestern audiences.It consisted of a medly of excerpts from themost iimorta.nt Chinese operas.The show opened. with 0a.battlescene,complete with a vill n who stroked his whiskers and hada diabolic lsugh.Followin; it was a typical love scene from theopera The Jade Bracelet:a young bachelor is courting-a simplecountry girl and leaves her a bracelet as a token of hisaffection.I. The Crossroads I:uawe saw a scene in which two menwere fighting each other in the dark,unable to see each other.Hieedless to say,some fine acrobatic feats were shown off.The pro-gram ended with : venerable classic of Chinese operatic literat-ure,Disturbance in Heaven,or The Immrortal Thief.This is a tale ofthe popular folk hero,the monkey King.In this episode,the MonkeyKing steals and eats the )eaches of immortality,then washes themdown with a pitcher of ambrosia.This causes a great uproar amongthe heavenly hierarchy,and the Monkey King is finally caught and

punished.The uncanny ability of the actors to imitate monkeys hadthe audience roaring with laughter.As a matter of fact,the wholeevening was one of the most enjoyable ones I ve spent since mydays in Taiwan David Osborn

year master plan for the South-western Socialist Republicseems to me to be lacking inseveral essentials.Although I

can see the need for increasingannual steel production,more

emphasis is needed on things alittle closer to home for usJoe-about-town students.Forexample,we students do not haveadequate facilities anywhere oncampus for bonfires.How about apit?It would seem simple enoughto dig a hole and line it withbticks,concrete,and gas jets.The Administration could alsouse it for rewarding recalci-trant students of immolationtechniques.

Carr believes that the gene-tically compatible beings found inthe 1948 UFO dovetails with Erichvon Daniken's theories on.mankind'sevolution being helped along atcrucial stages by visits from UFObeings, whom Carr refers to as "men.

"They're beautiful little guys,"Carr says, although he admits he'snever seen one. "They don't wantto hurt anyb.ody. Why would theywant to hurt us? There have beenUFO sightings throughout recordedtime. If they wanted to destroy usthey would have done it long beforenow," Carr points out. He then re-counts tales of UFO pilots wavingat fighter pilots sent to shoot thethem down.

Carr is positive that the USgovernment is on the verge of ad-mitting that intelligently-pilotedUFOs exist, on the basis of a tiphe received from-an un-named "cor-respondent" in Washington. Theprocess will begin with an NBC docu-mentary on UFOs scheduled for Sun-day, December 15. This is because.the military itself can't suddenlyreverse its position on UFOs, soit's letting the media break thenews, Carr says.

"The NBC doccumentary will justlift the lid on UFOs," Carr explains"It will feature face-to-face intervviews with major figures connectedwith the UFO story," and is all parpart of the Pentagon plan.

"After the documentary is shown,the Pentagon will wait three or foufour days. During th at time,congressmen and senators will be onthe floor of Congress, demanding toknow what the real story is. Train-loads of mail wi l pour in from allover the country. And in response tto this, the Pentagon will coylyadmit that there really are UFOs,"Carr says.

Craig Leake, producer of thedocumentary, said however, that theshow will consist mainly of inter-views with people who have seen UFOsand investigators attempting to con-firm the sighting. The documentarywill ignore sensational rumors--suc

esuch as the Wright-Patterson story--and the final judgement on UFOs willbe left up to the audience, Leakereported.

Carr believes that unless some-thing miraculous happens, mankindis doomed. Trapped here on a "hope-lessly polluted planet" with thepopulation exploding uncontrollablyand the possibility of nuclearholocaust imminent, humanity isjust around the corner from de-struction

Carr's vision is to make contactwith the UFO aliens through Oper-ation Lure, and somehow manage to

persuade them to share with mantheir scientific secrets, whichcan then be used to solve theworld's problems before earthteeters over the brink of disaster.

And if the UFO beings do giveus their secrets, that will be theknowledge man needs to save himself."Dveryoned"Everyone has got to think young,"Carr explains. "The young livein expectation of a miracle.There's got to be something hap-pening or we're all going down thedrain," he says with an audiblelimp in thelump in his throat.

Sound fantastic? "The Bible isa gold mine of UFO stories,"Carr claims, but people believe init anyway.

But whether man's salvation comcomes from within himself, throughthe Second Coming of Christ, or theFourth of Fifth Coming of VanDaniken's flying friends, Carr'sparticular vision will be tested vevery soon, if his timetable fordramatic Pentagon disclosures holdsup.

"By Christmas," Carr promises,"we'll all be a lot wiser."

Southwestern opened its seasonMonday night in New Orleans againstthe "Green Wave" of Tulane. Acrowd of 1500 looked on as Tulanesoffense proved to be too much oorSouthwestern to handle. The finalscore was 97-59. The starting line-up for the Lynx was "Bo" Coley, SteSteve Dreher, Dan Anderson, SteveRast and Randy Hodges.

The Lynx were forced out of theman-to-man early, because fo foultrouble. They then fell back intoa zone. Southwestern had a littletrouble getting their offensemoving. During the first halfSouthwestern hit a 4 minute dry spespell, in which Tulane scored ]5points. In the second half the Lynxagain hit a dry spell lasting over5 minutes. During this time Tulanerattled off 15 more poin ts. ShootShooting and ball hanling were prob-lems throughout the entire game. TThe Lynx shot 36% from the field and79% from the free throw line.

Dear EditorRecently there appeared around

campus various signs sporting such

slogans as 'Wargamers-how aboutforming a wargaming club?' and 'Howlong has it been since you burnedup a division of men as cannon-fodder?' Due to the small responseeither nobody knows what wargamesare, or they simply dislike theidea.

First, to clear up any con-fusion- wargames have nothingwhatsoever to do with ROTC.Wargames are simply simulations of

battles or campaigns from variousperiods.

You may have seen the backgrounsdesign on the smaller signs; this is'a hex field- the basic componentfor movement in wargames.

The hexes normally run 16 mm dacross, and are superimposed on amap of the area fought over. Smallcounters are used to representdivisions, platoons, etc. Theybear numbers which are a quantifica-tion of the units' characteristics.

oA-4N T s eove-- ,or 1 Asnseutrr

The average wargame is morecomplex than chess, but can rangefrom a complexity that is muchhigher to considerably lower.

A wargame can usually be pickedup in one night(it ususlly takesbetween i5-45 minutes at most toread the rules, or have them ex.plained to you). Playing timeuaually runs about 2 hours.

Wargames cover periods rangingfrom ancient to future , on timescales of minutes, days, or evenmonths. The area covered spanscontinents or cities; and thevariety of battles, wars, campaignspresented is endless.

In summary: wargames are asuperb educational device, they areintriguing, and even very enjoyable.
