a three-part series on the p rob­lem s o f po llu tion . This pressing problem o f our tim e will be exam ined in a C onference all day Thursday in the Library A ud ito rium . In this series, the Observer will in terv iew som e o f the participants and exam ine som e o f the problem s. I t is w ritten by S teve E ffler, an Observer s ta f f reporter.

Som etim es it is easy to get lost in the generalizations of the world wide statistics o f pollu­tion. One only has to look at the overturned, unused boats or the kids playing out o f the water in the middle o f summer to appre­ciate a concrete aspect o f the “ Fresh Water Crisis.”

The way professors Wayne Echelberger and Mark Tenney look at it , “ w ater pollution des­troys the uses of a body of w ate r .” In the case (p ic tured at left) the residents of nearby Cassopolis, Michigan are being deprived of the recreational faci­lities o f S tone Lake. This lake, like many others has been over­nourished by nitrogen and phos­phorous found in the runo ff from farms and the domestic wastes from cities.

Among the projects sponsored by the Engineering D epartm ent is the clean up o f Stone Lake as a large scale experim ent in a t­tacking this problem. It has been found tha t “ fly ash ” —unburned p a r t icu la te m a t te r from the stacks o f coal-burning factories

—will precipita te the inorganic chemicals in the water. This will eliminate the “ tea like co lor” and cu t dow n on the grow th of weeds. F ur the rm ore this fly ash “ forms a barrier a t the mud w ater interface and retards re­turn o f b o t to m po llu t io n” to the lake. As air pollu tion regulation has forced the gathering o f the “ for ty mill ion to ns” of fly ash we produce each year and uses have only been found for 2Vx% o f it , a tw o birds with one solu tion seems needed.

Water pollu tion is significant to more than recreational lake users. In Chicago, “ costs of trea tm en t have d o u b led ” be­cause “ Lake Michigan is begin­ning to feel the p in ch” and poten t ia l drinking w ater looks,

A candlelight m arch honoring the war dead and the civilians massacred a t Pinkville th rough d o w n t o w n S o u th Bend on Friday night will highlight this w eek’s S o u th Bend Vietnam M oratorium activities.

Marching Band will attend Cotton Bowlby Don Ruane

Robert F. O ’Brien, Director a n d A sso c ia te Professor o f Bands, revealed yesterday that the University o f N otre Dame Marching Band would go to the C o tto n Bowl. The band will leave for Dallas on Monday, D ecember 29 from O ’Ha re International A irport. They expect to arrive at Love Field in Dallas around n o o n ( C S T ) , accord ing to O ’Brien.

After the band registers at the Adolphus Hotel, they will leave f o r t h e J e s u i t C o l l e g e Preparatory School where they will practice until approxim ately six p.m. The band has a full day o f practice on Tuesday and on W e d n e s d a y morning at the school. On Wednesday a f te rnoon they will have a dress rehersal at the C o t to n Bowl. O ’Brien said the dress rehersal was necessary because the band will participate in a “ mass band n um ber at the close o f half time activities.”

Notre Dame will give its first perform ance on New Y ear’s morning when they will march in a nationally televised parade. The parade will s tart at nine a.m. (CST) and finish at eleven. Im mediately a f te r the parade, the band will go to the C o tton Bowl for pre-game activities. At this time, five high school bands will form a victory lane. The N o t r e Dame team will be in troduced as it runs th rough the lane and the band will play the “ Victory March.” Following the in troduct ions, the band will play t h e A lm a M a t e r . O ’Brien expressed some d o u b t as to w h e t h e r t h e N o t r e Dame s tudents would be able to jo in the victory lane because o f its length.

H a l f t i m e w i l l l a s t a p p r o x i m a t e l y t w e n t y - f i v e minutes because three bands and a dancing unit will perform. N o tre Dame will open the perform ance with a six minute routine. They will then be

followed by the Kilgore College Rangerettes and the Kilgore College Band and then by the Texas Band. These groups will also perform for six minutes. The final six minutes o f the half time show will be a rendition of “This is My L and ” by the Notre Dame Band, the Kilgore College group and the Texas Band, and the five high school bands. The finale will be highlighted with a map of the United States formed by the entire group o f musicians.

Mr. O’Brien forsees a lo t of hard work for his band. He feels tha t they will n o t be able to “ really relax” unti l a f te r the game. To provide relaxation for the band , the C o tton Bowl Athletic Association has invited t h e b a n d to a dance on D e c e m b e r t h i r t y - f i r s t . The dance, which will last from nine p.m. to one a.m., will be held in the W om en’s Building of the S tate Fair Grounds. It will be open to s tuden ts from the com peting schools and to any

o th e r s tuden ts of the Southw est Conference schools who are in the city for the game.

According to O ’Brien, the band was invited to a tten d the g a m e b y F a t h e r C h a r l e s McCarragher, Vice-president of S tud en t Affairs, on the first Friday af te r it was announced tha t N otre Dame would accpet t h e bowl bid. O ’Brien said tha t the idea of going to the bowl had been discussed by the band members and tha t they had agreed to go if the invitation was offered.

T h e r e a r e n o a c t iv i t ie s scheduled for the conclusion o f the game. The members will pack their eq u ipm en t for the re tu rn trip. A fter the equ ipm ent is secured, the bandsm en are on their own until the morning of January third when they must leave for Love Field. Their plane leaves Dallas at eleven a.m. (CST) and the band should re turn to the campus around six p.m. (EST) on Saturday.

J a m e s c l a i m e d t h a t he believed Nixon thought it would be be t te r if these foreign troops died in V ietnam ra ther than American troops.

“ We are sacrificing non-w hite troops including the V ietnamese t o s o l i d i f y o u r p r im a r i ly American in terests , and tied in w i th this is the systematic o p p r e s s i o n o f t h e B la c k Panthers ,” Jam es said.

“The sys tem we are try ing to u pho ld is o f benefi t to only w hite America, and we are sacrificing non-w hites to upho ld the white system, and a t the same time any non-w hite group tha t challenges this sys tem of oppression is des troyed and e lim inated .”e lim inated ,” he con tinued .

Mike KellyStruggle peace |

Peace, i t ’s wonderful!At least th a t ’s w hat they used to say anyways. Everyone today is

seeking peace. Roickle, Leone, Kraniak and o thers insist tha t peace is only possible af te r the old evils have been destroyed in a great conflagration. It is in teresting tha t these people seriously plan to deprive an entire generation o f peace in o rder to guarantee tha t the n ex t generation will have it (surprisingly similar to saying tha t they had to destroy America to save it).

I w onder if those who feel th a t they have the superior moral right to interfere with the lives of o thers realize th a t the very actions they oppose are justified on the same basis. F o r example, a group destroys draft records (des truc t ion o f p ro pe r ty being a m inor evil) in o rde r to a t tack governmental coercion (being a comparatively major evil). Yet the military conscrip tion is considered by those who enforce it as a m inor evil com pared with the alternative o f a weak nation and the take-over o f pow er by to ta li tar ian forces.

What would have been the reaction o f the N otre Dame Ten (a ra ther p re ten tious self-proclamation, I m ust confess) had a bu nch of jocks waded in to them swinging? The Ten (w hy this eagerness to subvert their individuality to a catchy slogan?) claim they were there in violation o f the rights of some in o rder to defend the abstrac ted rights o f mankind. Yet if they were a ttacked , their a t tackers would be no less highly m otivated (assuming they were n o t going in to “ bust the p inko fags” or anything similar).

T he struggle for peace goes on everywhere at all times. Spiro Agnew’s ou tspoken and often crude attacks on dissent are part o f his e ffort to bring peace by building the credibility o f America with Hanoi. The New L eft’s demands for im m edia te and uncondit ional w ithdrawal from Viet Nam tonight are based on their assumption tha t war is no more than one man shooting bullets at an o th e r man. Even the fr ightening massacres tha t are coming to light now were part of a plan tha t sacrificed the lives o f some Vietnamese villagers in o rder ( th e soldiers though t) to save o the r lives later on.

The entire peace m ovem ent (which, seen clearly, includes everyone with the possible excep tion of George Wallace) shares tw o mistaxes. First, it is authorita rian and lacks awareness o f individualism. Secondly, it becomes effective only when it be trays the ideals it s tands for.

The cries on the right for unity are bu t echoes o f the cries on the left for solidarity. Both right and left accuse the o th e r o f being simplistic and unrealistic and b o th are justified. Neither is fully aware o f what is entailed in the struggle for peace or even what peace itself is.

A good educat ional experience might be the upcom ing Model United Nations. It w ould be useful for many people here at N otre Dame and St. M ary’s to try to deal with 126 d ifferent na tional egoes in an a t t e m p t to make people forgive and forget. Perhaps our radicals could gain some of ou r conservatives’ sense o f reality while they , in tu rn , picked up a litt le radical compassion.

But the Model United Nations is ju s t t h a t—a model. It is up to each and every person to search himself for w hat is right and then con tinue to search o thers for what is right and so m eho w improvise a right and wrong day by day until a certa in ty begins to grow upon which y o u can plan and live a life. Yet even then yo u will n o t escape d o u b t (w hich means, face it , y o u canno t ob ta in peace).

The whole, depressing business is sum m ed up by a sign carried by some anti-war dem ons tra to rs last year; “ N otre Dam e men, th in k w ha t you are doing.”

And like the man said, th a t means all o f you.

When I asked Dr. Echelberger if such things would be available in the near fu ture , he neatly sum marized one aspect of the contrad ic tory n a tu re of pollu tion brought abou t by useful chemicals: “ You really ha te to say no to these questions because these are the sort o f things we have to come up w ith .”

As m ost people know , n o t all ou r water resources are found on the surface. Dr. Winkler of the geology depa r tm en t explained some of the dangers to “ aqui­fers” -u n d e rg ro u n d w ater bear­ing stratas.

A lot of ou r water comes from wells. The aquifers are no t to be imagined as flexible, im­pervious casks of water. Especi­ally when the t rapped water is pu m p ed ou t, the stresses and strains underground can lead to “ leaks.”

The left over “ nerve gas dis­posed of in deep wells near Denver could leak to the aqui­fe rs” , according to Winkler. Colorado for Christmas anyone? Radioactive wastes have been force-pumped in to wells causing

ear thquakes. Long Is land’s fresh w ater table has been so lowered by constan t consum ption tha t the salt w ater is starting to seep in.

Closer to hom e, aquifers in the Michiana area are located in “ a deep gravel layer 150 feet below the surface” . Above this layer are fo un d b o th poorly de­signed septic tanks and old gra­vel pits filled for y o u r safety w ith non-burnable garbage. In sou thern Indiana and parts of Appalachia, acid mine waters have been kn ow n to infiltrate w ater supplies.

Chairman announces Grand Prix plansby Glen CorsoO b s e r v e r N e w s E d i t o r

Mike G iannone, chairman of the 1970 G rand Prix, announced tentative plans for the event in an interview yesterday. The event this year will encompass a full week o f events , while the race will be held on the same weekend as a concert , and the annual proms.

Wh i l e t h e race itself is scheduled to be held May 2, the time trials will s tart the Sunday b e f o r e , April 26, and run th ro ug ho u t the week.

The race this year will be for a definite n u m b e r o f laps, ra ther than a time race as was held last year. G iannone said this was due to the fact tha t having a definite num ber o f laps is a “ more inter­esting race” than was held last year. Trophies , and various cash prizes will be presented at the concert on Saturday night.

G rand Prix lost $2500 last year. G iannone a t t r ibu ted this to “ confusion because of the first year o f op e ra t ion ,” and was con­fident th a t it would n o t be repeated.

“ We saw a lot o f mistakes tha t they made last year, and we w o n ’t repeat them . We th ink it will be a success because w e’ll be building it up all week long.”

Giannone also cited the first year expenses tha t were encoun­tered such as the observation tow er, and the snow fence, which will no t have to be bought again this year.

“ A bout 90% of the halls still have their carts. There are a few isolated halls tha t we are having trouble w ith, bu t for the most part the halls will be willing to

coopera te agins,” he said.G iannone stressed tha t “ the

whole thing from now to the weekend is com m unica t ion . We have to generate a good response to Grand Prix.”

The race will be held in the C onvocation C en ter Parking lot, where it was held last year. The PA system, G iannone co m m en t­ed, would be improved.

W i t h regards to trophies, G iannone said tha t the traveling t ro ph y aw arded to last yea r’s winning team would be given to this yea r’s winner to hold until

the nex t G rand Prix. In add it ion smaller trophies will be given to the winning individual team members.

“ I want to have a G rand Prix Queen, along the lines o f the H om ecom ing Q u een ,” G iannone said. The queen w ould be voted on by the s tudents , and she would preside over G rand Prix events for the weekend. This, though , is n o t final.

G iannone said tha t any s tu ­den ts interested in working on GP should co n tac t him as soon as possible.

This year, unlike last, there will be no award for the best over all group. According to Anne Henrichs, head o f the CJF.

The change was made because “ Many o f the band members and directors d id n ’t like it. They really d id n ’t like the co m p e t i­tion aspect of it. They felt tha t it stiff led their creativ ity .”

A questionaire was sen t ou t to 12 fo rm er judges and band direc­tors asking them how they felt a b ou t the award. “ 11 ou t of 12 were in favor of e liminating it, so we d id ,” she said.

Miss Henrichs was only able to name three bands who would p robably appear at the festival; The University of Illinois Band, with Jo hn Garvey directing; The Memphis S tate Band, with Tom F erguson directing; and the N orth Texas S tate Band, with Leon Breeden directing.

ND schedule rated second toughestby Mike PavlinObserver Sports Editor

C oaches jus t w ou ld n ’t be coaches if they d idn’t complain. Som etim es th e y ’re worried about all the sophom ores th e y ’ve got to start, som etimes the alumni drive th em to d is traction, and o ther times referees seem to have left their eye.s in the locker room along with their overcoats.

But mostly coaches complain ab ou t schedules. Maybe th e y ’ll point to the n u m b e r o f major teams and wail in anguish, or th e y ’ll find several teams coming o ff mediocre seasons with loads of re turning le t te rm en , or th e y ’ll groan because they play trad i­tional rivals away from hom e, or th e y ’ll cringe when they see tha t a fo rm er varsity player, now coach at some obscure college up in the m ounta ins w ho got on the sche­dule as a “ favor” happens to have th ree transfers who were JC All- Americans.

N otre Dame head basketball coach Jo h n n y Dee is no d ifferent; he calls his schedule one of the toughest in the coun try . Sound familiar? Maybe so. But Dee is right this year and he can prove it.

At Wright S ta te University in D ayton , O hio , G ordon L. Wise, Assistant Professor o f Marketing, has come up with what he calls the “ Pre-Season Basketball Issue o f ‘Suicide Schedules vs. Push­o v e r Schedules’ (Who Plays ’Em ??) .” Professor Wise presents w ith objective m athem atica l anal­ysis and p len ty o f tongue-in- cheek hum o r his system of rating the schedules o f 211 basketball teams.

He begins by ranking the teams by use o f “ A com pos ite o f all pre-season ratings and rankings of team s t reng th .” This composite yields 46 “ ra ted ” teams. Profes­sor Wise then gives each team a “ power p o in t” value. F rom this basic work, he ex tends the ratings to over 300 teams based on relative s trengths within con­ferences.

With regard to schedules, the

professor came up with an “ aver­age pow er po in t value” for each te am ’s schedule. T ourn am e n ts posed a special problem: “ In the cases of schedules which involved to u rn am en ts . . . the n u m b er of ‘Power Poin ts’ to be awarded to the team s’ schedule was found by determining the mathematical probabili ty of th a t te a m ’s en­counter ing each o f the o ther teams in the to u rn a m e n t .” Also poin ts were added for away g a m e s , th ose usually being tougher than contes ts at home.

And what did Professor Wise find? Well, when I said Jo h n n y Dee was right abou t his schedule, I w asn’t fooling. The Irish have the na t io n ’s second hardest sche­dule, right behind Michigan. Wake Fores t is th ird (playing in the tough Atlantic Coast C onfer­ence), West Virginia is fo u r th , and D uke is fifth.

In his own rating system, Prof­essor Wise has N o tre Dame tenth . He says, “ The Irish are tangling with their toughest schedule ever ( th ey rarely play an easy one). Their card . . . contains eight games against teams rated in the ‘T op T w e n ty ’ plus the probabil­i ty o f a meeting with No. 1 rated S o u th Carolina in the Sugar Bowl to u rn e y ."

T he Irish have been moving up on the list for the last few years. T hey were eighth in ’67-’68 and

fifth in ’68-’69. Of those eight Top T w en ty teams, fou r (UCLA, K e n t u c k y , M a r q u e t t e , and Duquesne) are rated in the Top Ten, and S ou th Carolina is first.

last 38 games, ND has won 30 ( .789) including a 3-1 NIT record two years ago. Even more impres­sive, the Irish have w on 20 of their last 25 AWAY g am es(80%). Those five losses (since Feb. 17, 1968) were to D ayton in the NIT

in overtime, K en tucky , Illinois, H ouston , and Miami (O hio) in last year’s NCAA Regional. Any time a squad breaks even o n the road, they can consider th em ­selves lucky. To win 80% is truly remarkable.

In addit ion to holding the title of Mr. Saint Mary’s, the Du Lac Prince will receive an all expense paid rou nd tr ip on the shu t t le bus, an escort fo r the evening, all the eggnog he can. hold , and the op tion to repre­sent Saint M ary’s at the C o tton Bowl, since the girls themselves can n o t a ttend .

Earlier this week, the steering co m m it tee expressed the hope tha t Mr. Saint M ary’s would be the em b o d y m en t o f the Saint M ary’s Christmas Spirit.

Most owners o f professional football teams, indeed professional sports teams of all kinds, have litt le truck with the C onsti tu t ion of the U nited States unless it be to keep it f rom falling in to the hands o f their draf t choices.

F or Edward B ennett Williams, the C ons t i tu t io n is a too l he carries a round like a p lum ber does a wrench, a bricklayer a trowel, o r a burglar a passkey.

He can fix anything with it. The nice th ing abo u t it is, he can carry it a round in his head. Eddie comes in to a c o u r t ro o m traveling l i g h t - a preamble, sevel articles, and 25 am endm ents . The part o f the too l tha t gets the most work is the first 10 am en dm en ts , the Bill of Rights.

Eddie Williams is a H artford-born , Holy Cross-and-Georgetown Law School-educated barrister whose passion for the law has led him to defend: 1.) Joe M cCarthy; 2.) J im m y H offa; 3.) Adam C layton Powell; 4.) Frank Costello; 5.) a Russian spy; 6.) Confidentia l Magazine; 7.) The Catholic Church; 8.) M otion picture writers accused o f being Comm unists.

He has a ttacked , 1.) Wire tapping; 2.) the Post Office; 3.) Literary censorship; 4 .) the death penalty ; 5.) the Congress o f the U nited States.

“ I am only im plem enting 1791 law,” he has said. When he was sought to defend Frank Costello, it was Costello, then being k icked o u t of the coun try as one of the most undesirable e lem ents ever to en ter it , who dem urred on the grounds tha t Williams was a “ Fascist” who “ defended Joe M cCarthy.” When he defended a Russian, he was a “ Com -sym p,” “ d u p e d ” “ p ink o .” When he defended Hoffa, he got it from b o th sides. He left a lucrative practice defending Transit C orpora t ions against civil suits when he found ou t th a t procedures o f defense, taken for granted in corpora te m atters where mere m oney was at stake, were forfeit in criminal matters where a life might be at s take—certainly a liberty.

When he acquired the Washington Redskins there were those in Washington who said it was his natural sy m p a th y for one caught com m itt ing crime in public. It was po in ted o u t tha t the Redskins were w ithou t any defense, either, the S co ttsboro Boys o f football.

“ Eddie ,” they said in the be t te r law offices, “ will get them l- to -10 .” Still o thers believed tha t the Redskins’ C onsti tu t ional rights o f free assembly were being denied, particularly by the Baltimore Colts. “ Only a natural concern for the defenseless,” sum m ed o the r sources. “ Maybe he th inks he can win the NFL by in junc tion ,” others gagged.

Others felt it was to o bad E dd ie’s briefs and argum ents had seriously crimped Congress’ right o f indiscriminate investigation, because they th o u g h t the Redskins were a p roper subject for hearings before a com m it tee on standards. When they heard Eddie was looking for a coach, they proposed Ralph Nader.

What a man with a passion for individual liberty and ingrain hu m an rights is doing in the last bastion of totali tarianism, professional sports , proves again there is n o form on Edw ard Bennet Williams. Professional spor ts is an oligarchy, the last such, as T ory as D ickens’ England. A football p layer waives his rights w hen he pulls 3n his shoulder pads. The law o f football is like the red queens, “ the execution first, the trial a f te rw ard .” Players are no t shipped a round in sealed cars, but they are selected by lot o ff an auction block. The servitude, o f course, is voluntary. The individual can, of course, choose to starve.

Edward Bennett Williams did, to be sure, secure adequa te counsel for his defendants. Vince L om bardi is one o f the ablest cross-examiners and trial lawyers in football. Previous counsel, O tto Graham, was good at presenting his case bu t weak at finding holes in the opposition . Lom bard i also is be tte r at em otional sum m ations, and Eddie can be presumed to keep him from h it ting the help.

O f course, as George Wallace says, you can’t rush these things, bu t the Redskins appear to be well on the road to equali ty on the field. T hey may even become The Establishment. But, what I ’m waiting for is the day a Redskins’ No 1 draf t choice, a badly needed quarterback , is draf ted, and says, “ I d o n ’t want to play in Washington, I want to play in San Diego,” and Eddie will pack up his tor ts and briefs and writs, and take a plane ou t to defend his right to do so.
