Judy Collins Concert FOrmal for Freshmen By Lynn Marmer

The atmopshere was tense and filled with a sense of an­ticipation, Friday November, 13. The lights finally dimmed and the spot light lit up the stage. Then, Judy Collins walked out.

The a u d i e n c e · was a strange mixture of pwple. It was not the convential concert crowd. There were no "Teenyboppers" and the youngest appeared to be jun­iors or seniors in High School. There were girls in frilly dresses and guys in dark business suits and ties. There were bearded young men and braless girls in long dresses. The majority of the audience seemed to date back to the early 60's when Judy Collins first started touring. All of these people applauded loudly when she first appeared and silently waited for her first song.

Workers and Students Unite

By Jeryl V. Proce The Worker's Strike Sup­

port Committee demonstrat­ed and marched to shut down Luby Chevrolet, Boylston Street, Boston, at Dudley police station in Roxbury 0n November 14. Three weeks ago, this strike committee led a militant march and rally of 300 workers and stu­de!}tS to Seymour Chevrolet. ­The executives of this firm, that day, made no money on scab cars. Last week in De­troit, hundreds of workers joined thousands of students in a march on General Motor's World Headquarters saying, "Back auto workers, not liberal politicians ." Right before the Detroit demon­stration, Henry Ford, the U.A.W. leaders and the gov­ernor of Michigan attacked the demonstration on tele­vision.

The S.D.S. feels that these were terrific victories over General 'Motors and felt that students should have follow­ed and lead the militant workers on November 14.

Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, and originals including some from her new a 1 b u m "WHALES AND NIGHT­INGALES." Her back up group was a close group that generated a sense of real_ en­joyment in their work. The group included; a p2rsonable bassist, Gene Taylor, a wo­man drummer, Susan Evans and a highly talented pianist, Richard Bell. The interac­tion between the group and M'iss Collins made one real­ize just how tight they .qll are.

To try to sum things up is near impossible. But I wlll ·begin by saying Judy Collins and her performance was; personal , timeless, stron g, tight , soft , mezmorizing . ... a wonderful exp2rience.

p.m. in White Hall lounge was the first formal fresh­man meeting. Official count­ing done by Judy Frey tal­lied 50 girls attended. There was of course a slight turn­over since the girls walking in and out stopped for a few brief minutes to view what was going on in the lounge. Realizing that it wasn't very important, just the all Fresh­man meeting, they hurried away to their other import­ant matters of concern.

The meeting itself was chaired by President Joni Greenberg and the rest of the officials sat by at close attention. Linn Wilson was present to help sort out some of the confusion. The main

One such trip takes yo:i through Boston's North End, a pre­dominently Italian section. It is delightful to walk through the streets, past the

dent at the University 0f New Mexico. He was selling the photos for a reasonable

price of five dollars and up. All the photos iwere the sub­jects of life in Cambridge, displaying the people and the environment.

topic of the meeting was of course, change in house pol­icy which consists of such things as, no curfews, open dorms, and 23 hour parietals. Joni pointed out what we could do to get things done as quickly as possible. Linn told us, as a senior, her class had been waiting for four years and are still waiting. Jonie made it clear that we can have what we want if we are persistent, and continue working for it. A number of girls volunteered to help write letters, and set up a proposal to send to the Coun­cil, to be ready sometime next week.

The freshmen were made aware that Dean Ritvo was not pleased with the attitude they were taking. She had made some comments im­plying that the freshman class were the worst as far as br ea kin g tn e var iou s 1aws w hi ch are an important part of college policy. Everyone clapped and a few arms went up in praise.

Another disconcerning fac-

tor that made the girls aware that the rules had to be obey­ed was the new knowledge ~bout he blue laws which Linn Wilson pointed out. She explained that in Mass., un­less you have 23 hour parie­tals and/or are married, be­cause of the No Knock Laws, any policeman at any time can walk in your room, and arrest both boy and girl, and hold the school and house mother liable. The intensity of that didn't strike until Linn repeated it about four times. The silence was brok­en though, when a 'boy and girl walked out from be­hind the "blue door." This incident was funny but it did display the rampant disre­gard for the rules.

A suggestion that editor­ials or letters be written by various girls to be put if!.to the paper, a s so 1•l of a p re s­sure ta c tic, was made. Th ese would be ju st to remind the adm inis tra tion that the girls are waiting and are enthus­iastic.

States Receive Federal Funds For Land and Water

Secretary Hickel has an­nounced apportionment of $176,729,000 from the Land

· and Wat er Conservation Fund for fiscal year 1971 to the 50 States, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, Amer­ican Samoa and the District of Columbia.

The apportionment repre­sents more than 95 p2rcent of the $185.4 million Con­gress appropriated for Stale use. $8,671,000 was set aside in a contingency reserve to meet emergency · situations and unforeseen needs of States and their cities or counti es.

The 1971 apportionment exceeds the 1970 apportion­ment by more than $117 mil­lion. This additional money was requested last February by President Nixon in his Message on the Environment At that time he stated that the purpose of his request was to provide additional park and recreation facili­ties, with increased emphasis on locations easily accessible to crowded urban areas.

All money allocated from the Fund to the States is

matched on a 50-·50 basis. In­dividual projects are approv­ed by State officials and the Interior's Bureau of Out­door Recreation, which ad­ministers the Fund.

The Fund receives revenue from entrance and user fees at Federal recreation areas , proceeds from the sale of sur­plus Federal real pro perty, and the Federal mo tor boat fuels tax. rt a:lso receives money eithe r from general Treasurer revenues or from Outer Continental Shelf min­eral leasing receipts to in­crease the Fund to a level of $200 million annually in th e five fiscal years from 1969 through 1973.

The States' share of the Fund is apportioned as fol­lows: F'orty percent is divid­ed equally among the 50 States; five percent is reserv­ed for unforeseen needs; and the remaining 55 percent is divided among the States, Territories, and the District of Columbia on the basis of (1) population, (2) Federal resources and programs, and (3) out-of-state visitor use of recreation areas.

Editorial By Jeryl V. Proce

Ecology and environmental science have come into prominence recently. It is per­haps one of the major concerns in society and therefore should be a very important topic as part of college culture.

We must become actively involved and try to improve any environmental fault in exis­tence. Ecology, by definition, is the study of man's relationship to other animals and their relationships to the environment. The key word here, is inter-relationships. In Ecology, the aim is to understand the inter-relation­ships of aM aspects of the environment and the inhabitants . of the earth. Once we make an attempt to do that, the defense against en­vironmental destruction can be organized more effectively.

style, shows that we ar2 completely ignoring the effects we are having on the earth. These effects are endangering both in the immed­iate and long~range view. We struggle desper­ately against nature , in an attempt to con­quer and harne ss her .

Man must live within the context of Ecol­ogy. He has no choice. Within this context he must recognize his responsibility to safe­guard the natural life support processes of this planet. Yet our industries, our economic expansion, our population growth, our cultu­ral and religious values, in fact our entire life

We fight her in every turn. Our industri es pour tons if poisons into whatever body of water they can find nearby. We throw any­thing into our garbage and down our drains. Our demand for endless economci growth, for a larger gross national product each year, results in mountains of garbage, cavities in the earth and the permanent exhaustion of much of the earth's irreplaceable resources. Our population, if it continues to grow at the present rate, will double within the next thirty years. Nature cannot maintain herbal­ance much longer unless w2 cooperate, not interfere, with her natural cycles.

These facts .point to the ever increasing dangers facing us . We must take action now in some effort to save our planet from des­truction.

An Opinion By Jeryl V. Proce

This is a message to a'll oi you vegetables at Harvard, fraternity pigs at Tufts, machine men at M.I.T. and any other male dominated institutions in this vicinity .

I am fed up with listening to your cries and pleas; to your insults and expectations directed to and at me. I am not just a body. I am not just a ''dumb broad" ( excuse the expression) who goes to Les­ley College to find a vege­table, pig or machine to spend the rest of my life with. I am a person who has feelings and emc-~,ons, who wants to experience life -pro life,-not anti-life.

I am deplored by the 3.c­tion on the part of the male sect at Harvard, they who gawk with their telescopes into White Hall. These per­verted men, who sit by their desks five days a week re­reading Williams vs. Mississ­ippi, I Plessy vs. Ferguson, man vs. woman. Their entire lives are entangled with something vs. something. Their conversation is either centered on their previously reviewed cases that th ey were so diligently studyin g, or why going to bed with them could be such a beau­tiful experience. How . can anyone experience anything and find it beautiful with­out knowing each other or caring or being sensitive?

is a flood and you're all washed away and a new crop comes in, because hell, I cer­tain 1ly don't want to pollinate with any of you.

The rambunctious calls Monday through Sunday evening, from "brother" pig at Tufts, the herding in, the •bids, and finally the slaught­er. Only their · slaughter comes in · a much different form. Usually it's a forward pass down the middle and ends with a touch down. Jocks go to hell. Your style, your manner - you make me sick to my stomach. My only words to you are that one day, ham will be in great demand and we'ill be herding

you in for the kill. Machines of the world

unite! Are there any men at M.I.T.? Are there any of you capa'ble of functioning as in­dividuals? our conversation s, you as "individuals," you as machines need grease jobs. I have no hope for you either. If you're lucky may­be while the vegetables are being flooded and the pigs are being slaughtered , you'il just rust away. '

What do we do women at Lesley? What are the alter­natives? Do we continue let­ting these present conditions exist? I certainly don't know. Perhaps we'H get a reply from a concerned male. Are there any of you "concern­ed" males out there?

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor:

I was upset to read the de­mands made by the Lesley students that a certain pro­portion of the workers on the "New Lesley" be from minority groups.

In theory it is desirabl e. and should be, but in actual­ity · it is practically impos­sible. No contractor can con­trol the powerful unions or guarantee a certain group of qualified minority people. If a fine is imposed on the con­tractor, he will blithly add it into his total fee just raising

.ey 1S in a critical posi­tion and it doesn't need to take on this added 'burden when it has the potential to do the country even a great­er service.

Thousands of children, black and white, rich and poor, all over the nation, are

· suffering the affects _ of stag­nant and mediocre teachers. Lesley can help infinitely if it is given this vital chance to grow. Should Lesley not meet the requirements for re-accreditation -it would in­deed. be a tragedy . because the need for creative and in­novative teachers · is acute.

I would appreciate your response.

Zero Population_ Growth Speaker at Lesley Sensitivity Training Week-end · By Jeryl V. Proce

Doctor Schoener, a re­search ·scientist at Harvard University, representing a Zero Population Growth Or­ganization, spoke to a group of Lesley students in White Hall Lounge on Tuesday, November 16.

Ben Blumenberg introduc­ed the speaker , and she be­gan, starting her qualifica­tions as a scientist and speaker, by talking about what should be cited as the primary problems in the re­production rate and food sup­ply in relationship to one another. Using bacteria and fruitfljes as examples, she showed that there has been an increase in reproduction

There Is A Draft Escape

Any man who is now de­ferred, and who would be in the lottery selection pool for induction if he were not de­ferred, now has a method to take advantage of his high lottery number and use it to esca ,pe the draft now.

Under an advisory mem­orandum sent by the Na­tional Selective Service Dir­ector Curtis Tarr to all local draft boards recently, such men may voluntarily relin­quish their deferments and enter the l·A pool. Prior to this time this matter had 'been open - to debate, - and draft boards were supposed to maintain an registrants in their deferments as long as they continued to qualify for them.

System Spokesman are quite confident that no regis­trant with a lottery number higher than 195 will be call­ed this year, unless there is a declaration of war or a na­tional em~rgency which . re­quires massive mobilization. At the end of the year, those men whose numbers have not been reached by their lo­cal boards and who are clas­sified l·A, l-A-0, or 1-0 are moved to a second priority pool. Men have not been call­ed from this second priority pool or its equivilent under the old system since the Kor­ean War.

·Registrants with high numbers who wish to take advantage of this opportun­ity to take the draft off their backs may write a brief let­ter to their draft board ask­ing to ·be reclassified 1-A im -mediately. Any registrant who does so is taking a slight chan ce th at the system might suddenly decide that it needs many more men than it is presently planning to take, and should think care­fully about this possibility , however slight. This rule of course only effects men who turned 19 or older during last year.

in our environment. Doctor Schoener said that since hu­man population has increas­ed 0.3 'le per year, the scale only goes up to a maximum of 0.4 %. Because of this rapid rate of increase and the in­ability to create equilibrium with environment, human beings will either be depriv ed of food and e1'vironment or will cease to exist.

By Mary Lally In the mansion owned by

the Methodist church, situ­ated on lush green acres of '·Rolling Ridges" in North Andover, Mass., our "sensi­tivity" developed. The sur­roundings alone lent a free spirit to the group, which consisted of 19 people, in­cluding two competent 'train­ers'. Our first impression on arrival was anxiety and cager anticipation for 'some­thing' to happen. The jaunt

from Lesley in Dr. Oliver's little bus has given us time to worry a little, wonder a lot, and hope for the very best week-end, despite a steady downpour. On e:,;;ploring the house, certain "Agatha Chri­stie novels" came to mind arousing our curiosity. Most­ly girls from Lesley compris­ed the group, with a few in­terested B.C. participants.

"At the present time, :n different counrties, the rat e of increase has b~en 1.0 '/,, and 4.0 %, and the United States has the rate of in­crease of 1.0%, meaning pop­ulation will double in 70 years ." Adding that "in or­der to keep up the kind of standard of living we now have . . . everything will have to be doubled in this short period." Tho se coun­tries that will have to double their standards are for the most part underdevelop 2d. It would be highly inconcei v­eable if they would be able to do this.

In a large, comfortable living room, ten people en­countered each other, seat­ed rather stiffly in chains, not knowing exactly what to say to each other. However, as time passed, each person in the room spoke about themselves and their back­grounds emerged. Saturday was devoted to becoming better acquainted with each other and developing "hu­man -awareness;" e.g., how one person depends upon an­other, your participation in a discussion group, and, merely understanding t.,e desires and needs of some other person. Every person was given ample opportunity to confide problems, worries, hopes, or just chat. Led by two marvelous t r a i n e r s, there were no uncomfortable ·barriers and the initial un­easiness amidst the group had nearly evaporated by Sunday , morning. Relation­ships had been formed -which would never be disrupted and the value of the thoughts exchanged each m e m b e r would leave a lasting impres­sion. The only conclusion to be drawn is the fact that peo­ple are only human; have a fear of loneliness, love for aceptance, and need for love.

The Council on Student Life By Toni Brodax

The purpose of this meet­ing was to discuss the idea of Self Governance for upp 2r classmen dorms. There were t,wo factors involved befor e starting to discu ~s the pr o­posals for Self Governance. One of these wa s whether 0r

not to set a date to put all the proposals in effect, or to put them into e ffect retroac­tively. The other factor was

how to deal with them; hav­ing the representatives from each house present at the time of their discussion. The majority opinion felt that a representative should be pr e­sent, to answer any question s on their proposals.

It was sug gested th a t th er e be a deadline for all the pro ­posals . This was accepted by the memb ers present. The final date for proposals is l\fonday , November 30. It was also suggested that if n proposal is passed , it should be effective 48 hours after approval. This was also pass - · ed. Ohe proposal was read to see what it contained and if it would have been ap­proved. This proposal would

tion of the Mayor's Commit­tee on the Urban University (MC U U). The committee serves as an agency for facil­ities and improving relation­ships between institutions of higher learning and the City of Boston.

The Air is Everywhere

"We prefer to view the-re­lationships in a positive ·vein," remarks Dr. John S. Gibson, chairman of the committee and director of the Lincoln Filene Center, Tuft's University. "The in­stitutions directly and indir­ectly contribute to the eco­nomic well-being of Boston. While the MCUU can do much to reconcile differences between institutions and the city, it has an even more im­portant task - to help each to contribute resources to meet the needs of the other."

By Mimi Packman "Welcome sulphur dioxide, hello carbon monoxide, the air, the air is every­where Breath deep , while you sleep breath deep. ;Bless you alcohol blood­stream Save me nicotine lung­stream Incense, incense is in the air Breath deep while you -sleep breath deep Katoclismicectoplasm fall­out atomic orgaism Vapor and fume at the stone of my tomb breath­ing like a sullen perfume Eating at the stone of my tomb Welcome sulphur dioxide, hello carbon monoxide the air , the air is everywhere Breath deep, while you sleep. breat h deep, deep, deep deep." · - ·

have had to been · rewritten because it did not state the legal facts about cohalbita­tion, drugs and alcohol. Some penalties must be written in to each houses' proposal, in case of infractions of rules. Dean Ritvo said, "what's going on in White Hall is µn­t>elievable, and that's be­cause there are no penalties.''

The proposals presented weren't explicit enough, they did not have enough infor­mation about penalties or al­ternative possibilities. These proposals went back to their houses and ,will be rewritten with ·the correct information.

but one of the major ones is the caJibon monoxide ex­haust from cars.

Recently the· Ford Motor · Company designed an elec­tric car that would eliminate the problem of carbon mono­xide exhaust.

The American public owns approximately 1. 5 cars per family; that in itself is a lot of exhaust adding to the pollution . The fact that most of the other pollution prob­lems are intensified, causes one to leave the cities or go and suffer the consequences.

Some of the consequences are: a. inhaling the same amount

of tar and nicotine as if you'd smoked an entire pack of cigarettes

'b. tearing and red eyes, for sometime after one leaves the city

c. feeling nauseous d. leaving with an overall

feeling of disgust and de­pression. "Breath deep while you

sleep" - because it's prob ­ably the only air you"ll breath . that isn't unsafe for human habitation .

The latest committee re­port outlines more conclusive steps to be taken than those cited by Mayor Kevin H. White when he originated the idea in December, 1968. Then the program's goals w2re phrased as questions ; now they are in the form of resolute, positive objectives.

"We now prefer to view in­stitutions' contributions lo Boston as helping to meet community needs rather than as efforts to avoid pay­ing taxes or money to the city," said Gibson. "Our ob­jectives suggest reciprocity between institutions and the city ."

Conse nsus of the commit­tee members is to give prior­ity to property and fiscal is­sues. The committee is forming task forces fol" these and other specific areas of operations such as stu dent volunteer programs, police and law enforcement, small colleges, housing and transit (including parking),

·other tax-exempt institutions protest-movements, business and industry, and environ­mental issues.

In the area of fiscal mat­ters, MCUU currently is co­operating with the BRA (Boston Redevelopment Au-

Analogy of -Life By Patty Cole

Isn't it sadly beautiful how watching your fellow drop­the rain encourages such lets dri:bble past you, slith­sympathy? Since Boston ering into oblivion, you gaze seems to have such a pen-chant f(?r rainfall, I've re­signed myself to the unalter­able fact of precipitation. Un­fortunately, rain makes me thoughtful and reflective -something I try not to be­come too often.

With every raindrop I pon­der so many questions. Do you ever wonder what it would feel like to be one tiny drop of wetness and land on a window? Then imagine, if you will, as you're sitting upon the pane of glass and

thority) in a survey of tax­exempt educational institu ­tions' property projections over the next ten years. MOUU also is following close ­ly a cost-benefit analysis of tax-exempt-,property in ut·­ban areas throughout the state currently being under­taken by the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation . These findings will have im­plicatons for university/city relationships in Boston.

_ The committee has spon­sore d and funded the Pro­gram Read iness Tutor Pro­gra m, now in-its second year, a data bank for classification of available resources and facilities of institutions and the city; and the 1969 study of college student housing patterns in Boston, MCUU has proposed specific modifi­cations in the city's new pre­ferential sticker parking program.

Boston School Superinten­dent William Orhenberger recently appointed Miss Mar­ion Faehy as associate for staff training and develop­ment , and one of her prin­cipal assignments will ,be a liaison between Boston schools and the educational institutions.

MOUU will work closely with Miss Faehy as she de­velops her tasks, which in­clude planning and coordin­ating preservice and inser­vice programs for teachers and administrators, coordin­ating teaching internships to avoid duplication of pro­grams, and expanding re­search programs for the schools and the institutions.

heavenward only to see an ­other raindrop about to ' re-place you on that window. You jiggle and slide a little t~ try to avoid being pushed into endless nothingness, but to no avail. Here comes that other drop, skipping over foe glass like a shuffleboard disc, running into you with a BAM! You feel yourself un ­·controllably gliding over the glass to the edge. As you slipover the rim you meet some other raindrops, who , not unlike you, h&ve been re­placed on that big window of life and you wave and shout greetings. Farther you all drop until you touch gro und and sink blissfully into t.be ~ earth Then you think of the anxiety o1

the drop that replaced you, and the mischievous smi1., of vengence spreads slowly over your face. And you nestle deeper into the bosom of Mother Earth.

our world is Dri ve Small -think seriously of buying a smaller car; one that js equipped with a polu tion control device. Use lead­free gasoline. Sixty percent of urban air pollution comes from cars.

The U.S. Senate looks as if it means to stop the kill­ing by air pollution once and for all. If the bill is endorsed unanimously on November

-22 and becomes a la:w, it could stop the aerial chemi­cal and biological warfare American industry wages on the civilian population. That remains a pretty big "if." , The provisions of the legisla­ture calling for an end to auto pollution by 1975 raised the greatest outcries from industry . Since the automo­bile is responsible for 60% of all air pollution and up to 90%in some urban areas, its, control is vital to any effort to clean up the air. The aut,) industry claims the bill's terms are too strict and con­not be met.
