Here’s Hoping Earth DayWill Avoid Doomsday

By Donald S. RosserSpecial To The Montclarion.

Some people think man is on the brink of exterminating himself. Because few people w o u ld w elcom e human extinction, today has been designated "Earth day" — to make certain that "doomsday" never comes.

Tech n o lo g y has made America great, but it is also polluting and despoiling the three major components of the Earth's environment — air, land, and water. In schools thruout the land, Earth day "teach-ins" will alert the nation to the growing danger all living things face from man-made pollution.

Pollution may especially irk the conservationist, but it affects us all. To live, we need water and air that do not poison us. Yet, the poison levels continue to rise.

"The key to survival," says U .S. Education Commissioner Jam es E . Allen Jr ., "is e d u c a t io n ." People must become aware of "how man affects and is affected by his environment."

That's a description of "ecology," a subject that is receiving new attention in the public schools. Say Dr. Allen: "Man is an inseparable part of a system composed of men, cu ltu re and the natural environment. Man's technology alters and interrelationships of this system."

A ll earth's life, for example, depends on continuation of the atmospheric cycle that keeps both oxygen and carbon dioxide in the air. Animals absorb the oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Plant life absorbs carbon dioxide and gives off oxygen. Each puts back in the air what the other needs. One depends on the other for continued existence.

Y e t , hum an a c t iv ity th reaten s th is cycle. As populations grow, vegetation is cut down to make room for people. As technology spreads, more poisons degrade the air, killing more plant life.

A ir pollution harms more than vegetation. It can directly affect human health. Intense air pollution killed numbers of people in Donora, Pa., in 1948.

as well as in London and Los Angeles in 1952. Air pollution can also damage the health. The incidence of the crippling l u n g d is o r d e r c a l le d emphysema, for example, has reportedly been increasing by 12 percent a year in California.

Our water is being polluted on many fronts. Industry pours wastes into fresh water. Oil, spilling from offshore wells and dumped from sh ip s , is spreading over the ocean's surface. Even the average housewife does her share. Phosphates — found in many detergents - cause algae to multiply in lakes and streams, killing other forms of aquatic life.

In a throwaway society, land pollution is the most obvious modern despoilation. Papers quickly rot, but other litter does not. Beer cans, pop bottles, plastics, tires and junk autos sit around until someone acts to remove them.

Staff WriterThomas Benitz, newly-elected

S G A p resid en t, has spent co n sid e rab le tim e preparing himself for his new job. Benitz entered the SGA scene last spring when he won the election for business studies representative by one vote. "My interest in SGA gradually built by being involved with the various committees," smi­led the blond-haired sophomore.

Th e p resid en t cited the Coordinating Council of students, faculty and administration as being " a particularly good experience." Benitz, who was appo inted vice-president of

He Spent His Time Preparingexternal affairs, a newly-created SGA post, this past spring, stated he w ill "need to appoint someone to that position right away. This is an important job."

A native of Middlesex, this Stone Hall resident assistant was "a three-letter man in high school: football, basketball and baseball." His interest in student government dates from pre-college days also, when he first became involved. "Students don't have much of a voice in high school," he pointed out, "but here the power is untapped. We have only touched the surface."

G e t t i n g w i d e s t u d e n t representation on various SGA

committees is "the big plug" of Benitz. " I don't think student apathy is as bad as it seems," noted the personable young man, a brother of Psi Chi fraternity. "Eve ryb o d y is interested in something; we must find this interest and not use it as an excuse to drag a student into any other committee unless he is really interested," he stressed.

B e n i t z , who worked last summer for the department of sanitation, admitted that he "enjoyed the job. I saw the sun rise every day last summer," he reminisced. " I started at 5 a.m. and could work at my own pace, sometimes finishing the day's route by mid-morning."

President-elect Benitz attended the Association of Student G overnm ents conference last Thanksgiving, in Atlanta. "When I came home I was sent to Chicago for an Inter-Fraternity Conference convention, where I met students from all type of schools," he said. In his new office, Benitz hopes to broaden the base of interested

students by writing a column in the M ONTCLARION every few weeks. With an emphasis on personal student involvement, he w a s d e c i s i v e in s a y in g "announcements of activities are only good reminders for those already involved. They are of little use in getting new people participating. The people in SGA now can only be spread so thin ," he pointed out, stressing the need for new blood.

The business education major plans to get his masters degree "right away. When I came here I wanted to teach," he explained, but now my thoughts have started to drift towards personnel w ork."

West Side StoryIt’s So Professional That

You'll Smell the Big TownBy Roberta Kuehl

Staff ReviewerPlayers and friends have

done it again. When you see Jerome Robbins' "West Side Story", produced by MSC Players and members of the School of Fine and Performing Arts in Memorial auditorium, it "won't be just any nite." It will be a special nite, for the p a r t i c i p a n t s p e r f o r m p r o f i c i e n t l y and qui te professionally.

S e v e r a l a c t o r s were outstanding: Wendy Simon as the dynamic, passionate Anita, particularly in dancing the lively "America" and in singing the bitter "A Boy Like That" with Maria, played sweetly and sung with beautiful, clarion quality by Pamela Behnke.

Steve Insolera's R iff is strongly sung and toughly acted. With latimic power and grace Dennis Zahorian is Bernardo. Kevin Gilmartin as Tony convinces with his acting ability, but needs more volume and support while singing. Perhaps thi s defect has improved since opening night.

FEW FAULTSSpeaking of faults, this

production is not free of them. Some of the Jets' dancing could use more coordination, and several of the songs need b e t t e r s y n c h r o n i z a t i o n between singers and orchestra. And sure, the Jets were trying to be cool, but could they try a little harder? A few members of that gang are terribly miscast (but I won't mention names).

A few names that do deserve mention are Faye Elizabeth Witcher for her rendition of "Somewhere,"

Staff Photo by Morey X. AntebiTHEY’RE FIRSTThe first few students stream in thru the doors toward their classes to inaugurate the new Humanities building.

By Sharon Wancho Staff Writer

A f t e r making a minor modification on the proposed unlimited cuts policy at a general faculty meeting on April 15, the Faculty Council voted in favor ofits adoption.

This class-attendance policy has been endorsed by the SG A , and Coordinating Council. After the faculty vote, MSC President Thomas H. Richardson issued a statement fully concurring with the decisions. He stated that the resolution will be the official policy of the college regarding class attendance.

Effective date of the policy is Sept . 1, 1970. Individualprofessors may institute the

policy immediately if they so desire, according to the president.

Class attendance policy, with modifications is as follows:

"Altho class attendance is desirable, it is not always mandatory. However, it is the obligation of the student to fulfill all course requirements. Absence from laboratory or studio sessions shall be by a g r e e m e n t w i t h the instructor."

"I think it is a step in the right d i r e c t i o n , ” stated Jam es Co t t ingham , admin is t r a t ive assistant to the Board of Trustees. " I am confident that the students will not abuse it. It is extending academic freedom to include the students as well as well as faculty."

It’s Benitz & Graj In SGA Top Spots

By Robert Watson Staff Writer

Thomas Benitz, sophomore b u s i n e s s major , captured 80-percent of yesterday's vote to become president-elect of the 1970-71 Student Government Association.

In an announcement at 5:20 p.m. in Life Hall, SGA President Kenneth Traynor declared the official winner. Also emerging victorious were Stanley Grajewski, Dawn Sova and Franc ine Niedbala.

Amid handshakes and victory embraces Benitz gasped: "I'm at a loss for words. I don't know what to say." Shortly, however, he managed to express: " I just want to extend my appreciation to every individual who made this victory possible."

Benitz, who will assume the presidential duties in September, pulled 752 votes to David Mende's 187, an overwhelming four-to-one

vote of confidence from MSC students.

Grajewski, who will command next year 's Legislature as vice-president, received 485 votes. Competitors Donald Vanarelli and Don Pendley drew 209 and 172 votes, respectively.

SGA treasurer Dawn Sova will remain in her post for a second term by virtue of her 617-297 vote margin over Tom Hayes.

Running unopposed, secretarial hopeful Miss Niedbala went into yesterday's election sure of at least one vote - that of herself. She had 823 when the vote was totaled.

Benitz ran on a platform of more student involvement in SGA activities. He promised to improve communications between the governing body and students and to "go out and get the students interested."

The SGA rep also advanced the hope of developing student-owned and operated cafeteria, bookstore and off-campus housing. He also aw advantages in a judiciary branch of the SGA.

On May 15 the new officers will learn who will sit in the 1970-71 Legislature. On that date, representatives from schools and departments will be elected.

One of the first concerns of the Benitz Administration will be their policy toward the new school senates. Last week, two such senates were declared illegal by the Legislature.

Charges that the schools of Humani t ies and Social and Behavioral Sciences had adopted constitutions without student ratification were presented at that time. Representatives from the senates concerned will not be seated until the senates concerned are accepted by the SGA.

OK New Chief at

TrentonBy Kathy Vargo Staff Reporter

TREN TO N — Clayton R. Brower, dean of educational services at Trenton State College (TSC), has been named interim executive by a special committee of faculty, students and trustees. Due to pressure from both faculty and students, TSC Robert Heussler President had resigned last Feb 13.

According to Peggy Maro, editor of TSC's paper, the State Signal, the college was in a "precarious state" while Heussler was president. Last Ju ly , she explained, the administration and faculty acknowledged a lack of c o m m u n i c a t i o n a m o n g themselves. Tension was mounting and, in December, students listed 26 grievances to the president. However, vague repl ies were given

Brower:NewExecutive.

and about 300 TSC students later p icketed the administration building. At this time, students as well as faculty members began calling for Heussler's resignation.

A fter the two-day strike, Brower was selected as mediator between the petitioners and Board of Trustees. It was his job "to keep communications going."

Stating what she believes to have been Heussler's overall problem as president, the editor said "no administrator's ability was shown for the VA years he was president."

On the other hand, Brower has taken up his new post with a needed "optimistic attitude." Described as a "plan personality," Brower has stated in his press conference that his main objective will be for the college to open up as a fam ily ."

Commenting on general student opinion of Brower, Miss Moro described it as favorable. Be fo re Eas ter , the Signal conducted a poll on who they preferred as acting president. Altho only 200 students voted, Brower received the majority of votes.

MSC Teach-In

Presents Case

On Air PollutionBy Maurice J. Moran Jr.Staff writer

The culmination of many weeks of hard work, meetings and letter -writing will be seen today beginning at 11 a.m. The MSC v e r s io n o f th e national environment teach-in will begin with a short address by Dr. Edward Ambry, director of the New Jersey State Council for Environmental Education and former faculty member at MSC. The planning committee also plans fo r President Thomas R ichardson to address the assembly in the studio theater (K-200) at that time.KEYNOTE ADDRESS

The keynote address will be delivered by Sen. Clifford Case. He will concern himself mainly with the legislative end o f p o llu tion control. There a re a l r e a d y statewide laws Case that prohibit certain forms of pollution, but large corporations have been able to find loopholes

in the laws and so, pollution continues. Case and other federal legislators have been concerning themselves with federal controls on these factories. Another concern is for greater control by the individual who does not cause pollution, but suffers because of it.

After the senator’s speech, the town of Montclair will be represented by Mayor Matthew Carter. Montclair held its annual clean-up week last week and several schools and civic groups in the communi ty have been involved in their own educational efforts of Earth day.

Then, beginning just before noon, Dr. Philip Cohen, history depar tment chai rman, will moderate a panel discussion on p o l l u t i o n , w i t h s eve ra l knowledgeable participants. Mrs. Roslyn Kane, biology assistant professor, will address herself to the biological effects of pollution. This will include some facts that are well known due to exposure by the media, but also other that have not received ample time to be known by all. Dr. Sidney J. Kronish, economics professor, will speak on the economic effects of

pollution, especially noting the rise in taxes in order to cart away all the garbage.

Dr. Ernest F i n c h e r , political science professor, will f i n i s h t h e discussion of t h e s o c i a l e f f e c t s , by considering how politics might be influenced by pollution.Mr. William Andreson of the American Cyanimid Co. will begin the discussion of the role of industry itself. He will speak on the problems and contributions of industry in this regard. The technical problems of waste treatment will be treated by Mr. A1 Steffen of the Ralph B. Carter Co., a manufacturer of sewage disposal equipment.

The panel will be completed by Mr. John Galandek, a consultant engineer, speaking on his role in controlling pollution. The floor will then be open to questions and reactions from the students and faculty assembled. In order to insure that interested students

attend, the SGA has asked that they be excused from classes, or perhaps for professor to use this teach-in as a substitute for class on that day.

Mrs. Vera Brenton, secretary of the social science department was in charge of the panel discussion, while Ambry was responsible for

Case’s appearance. Janis Lynch, president of the Conservation Club and student chairman of the Earth day steering committee, correlated the activities and announced that films from the New Jersey State Council for Environmental Education and the Sierra Club would be shown if time permits.

What the Magazines Are Saying(To the tune of “America the Beautiful”)Oh cancerous for smoggy skies,For pesticided grain —Irradiated mountains rise Above an asphalt plain.

America, America, . thy birds have fled from thee;Thy fish lie dead by poisoned streams,From sea to fetid sea.

Oh plundered o f their guardian woods,Where silver brooklets flowed,Their gullies clogged with cast-off goods,Thy barren hills erode.

America, America, no sunshine comes to thee,But bakes thy barren topsoil dry,No wind but blows it free.

Relentless as thy bankers’greed,That for each westward tie,A gandy dancer’s corpse decreed,Beside the tracks must lie.

America, America, thy sins prepare thy doom; Monoxide cloud shall by thy shroud;Thy cities be thy tomb.

It’s Purely Ecology, MademoiselleSpecial to the Montclarion.

Today is Earth day. But it will be a long time before the United States is able to wish itself a “Happy Earth day.”

When Sen. Gaylord Nelson originally began the idea of Earth day, it was intended as a means of educating the masses of the dangers of pollution.

It is the widespread belief of the envi ronmental teach-in supporters that this purpose has been accomplished. In the recent months, magazines of the likes of Time, Newsweek, Life and even Mademoiselle have been informing the populus of the American continent of their impending doom due to garbage in the skies, in the rivers and on the highways. CLEA R FACTS

Mademoiselle is one of the latest. In its April issue, Dr. Paul

Ehrlich, ecologist, comments on one of the most horrifying problems facing the earth: people pollution. “Anything that is done to correct the wrongs of pollution is meaningless without population control,” he commented in an interview. The facts are clear.

While it took over 4000 years to manufacture the first billion people, it has only taken two centuries to reach three billion. And, in the next 30 years, the world’s population may rise over seven billion people.

In an issue that is dedicated to e c o l o g i c a l a w a r e n e s s , Mademoiselle went on to offer “40 Different Ways to Depollute the Earth.” In it, the editors list ways that the everyday citizen can help stop the endless pollution that endangers our life. This would include staying away from

such chemicals as the new “enzyme-active” detergents since their ingredients do not dissolve in water.

The last portion of the magazine is devoted to those who might want to become ecologists, or dedicate their lives to the saving of the earth’s environment. One of the interesting sidelights of the magazine suggests how to live in an urban area. “Smile . . . ” is one comment, while it finishes up with “Care: talk to street kids, help people, get involved in something, Stay human.”

A recent issue of Time magazine brought to light the facts of noise pollution as well. “ C onstan t exposure to the 140-plus decibels of an ordinary subway train can cause deafness.” One can easily see why, in the city, it is difficult to be human.

By Richard Oxman(Editor's note: Mr. Oxman is an i n s t r u c t o r in the speech department.)

I rarely find myself agreeing with Richard Nixon, but his recent statement that “something is wrong with higher education itself when curricula are often irrelevant, structure is often outmoded, when there is an imbalance between teaching and research and too often an indi f ference to innovation” touches upon a truth which is highlighted by the current focus on the environmental issues. Earth day only accentuates the fact that the specialists and “renaissance” men and women that our educat ional institutions have produced have either contributed to our current crises or allowed them to develop (The same thing if you believe in the dictum that “if you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem ”).

Our colleges and universities are presently in the process of making everyone aware that crises exist, but not doing very much to adapt their curricula or structure to confront them except to offer a “relevant” new course or two (very fashionable) and/or to ask faculty members to relate course content to environmental issues whenever possible. This is clearly not enough in the face of the insincere attention given the problem by governmental bodies and industries. The articles leading up to, and the films and speeches

on, Earth day should make that obvious to all those who are sensitive enough to recognize the catastrophes which await us.

STUDENTS ACTIONIt is the students of this

country, without the vested interests and habits of their elders yet , who must initiate the necessary action at once! We must attempt to bring about radical innovations at Montclair State College first and then quickly encourage and support the same at other metropolitan institutions as we move toward creating a communal sense of there being a state of emergency thruout the majority of the nation’s colleges and universities. Once the issue of survival is officially recognized at so many institutions, we will have the potential influence necessary to affect others through daily nation-wide simultaneous efforts.

To begin with, let us demand that the board of trustees, admini s t rat ion and faculty recognize t ha t our current “ e d u c a t i o n ” is at worst meaningless and at best a distraction from crises (I’m sure you would agree that there is more than just the environmental crisis that must be dealt with) that cry for attention. Lack of space does not allow me to explain, in detail, specific proposals for change here, nor how we can get MSC and other institutions to adopt new ideas (aside from it being tactless to discuss tactics here). Therefore, let me beg those of you who are not yet fully buried in an “apathy-futility” bag

to come to me with as many reluctant friends as you can muster.THE END IS NEAR

The inability of our present educational system to prepare us for meeting the real crises of the world must be dealt with as soon as possible. At the risk of sounding like the crazed old man who carries the sign which reads “The End is Near,” let me remind you that the end is near when New Jersey natural scientists (professors at several Jersey colleges) meet for six hours (as they did on April 11 at MSC) and devote the entire time to making one another “aware” of the “crisis.” Not only were there a mere handful of faculty, but practically no representatives from the social sciences (a contingent which will be needed if any meaningful change is going to occur in New Jersey curricula to prepare s tudent s for the envi ronmental crises, among others, which lies ahead), and even less students.

It seems disturbingly odd that the very people who are crying that “we’ve only got 10 years left” aren’t requiring attendance of others, and haven’t sufficiently publ icized their “ crucial” meetings. Even I found out about the symposium by accident. If we are in a crisis situation, they shou l dn’t be satisfied with advertising such gatherings in an MSC newsletter. We are in a crisis situation, and I want to do something about it. Don’t “let it b e . ” P l eas e cont ac t me immediately.

Remembering A.J. Muste

After Chicago and the N o v e m b e r mora t or i um in Washington, I think we all began to evaluate the tone and direction of the movement. It’s growth among both young and old has increased; the young turning increasingly violent, the old content to march.

It is during April, when the spring mobilization takes place, the month of my first real commitment to activism, that I remember A.J. Muste. A.J., born in 1885, touched and guided the peace movement for a majority of his 82 years. His career was varied and unusual. It encompassed being a minister, a pacifist, a labor leader, an initiator of CORE, a Marxist-Leninist, and finally a return to an unorthodox Christian pacifism.

FROM MAO TO SANEDean of the developing peace

movement, it was A.J. alone who could deal with the broad spectrum of the movement from the Maoists to SANE. Only A.J.

was able to bring the old left and the new left together, and also propel liberal housewives in Women Strike for Peace to activism. Not even David Dellinger in his role as chairman of the National Mobilization Committee and the New Mobilization Committee could succeed as A.J. had done. Perhaps this has become impossible becaue of the more defined activities of all o r g a n i z a t i o n s wi thin the movement. Also the nature of the movement has changed. Both A.J. and Dellinger had a common b e l i e f in pacif ism, some organizations and individuals do not. I’m not sure if A.J. would have been able to deal with the movement today. Dellinger has been unable to. Dellinger has relinquished the real leadership of the movement to the new left and the Yippies. He has not been able to unify and coordinate the movement as a united force.LOVE A HUMAN BEING

A.J. had a faith and an interest in every individual. He once said,

“If I can’t love Hitler, I can’t love at all.” However, he was careful how he defined “love.” His definition can be best stated by this quote:

We are to love them, but I do not take this to mean that we have to work with them politically or be sentimental and naive about certain aspects of their behavior and strategy. To love a fellow man does not require that we cooperate with him in lying or exploiting others or some other evil thing. It requires that we do not let him live, if he is so living, under the delusion that these things are good. It means that we love him even while he does evil, believe t h a t h e is capab le o f redemption, try to call on that God in him. To love, to be truly human, is always to deal with others on the basis of reality.

A.J.’s message is important today. We can not allow ourselves to first look at each individual other than as a human being. The key to anything we attempt to do is in grassroots organizing, and this can only be done if we look at each individual as an individual.

MiniReview“The Environmental Handbook”

Garre t t DeBell, ed. A Italian tine / Friends o f the Earth Book NY $.95.The Environmental Handbook

might well be called, “What Every Earth-dweller Should Know.” This very informative and often frightening book is an anthology o f e c o l o g i c a l essays by environment experts from many fields.

Air, land and water pollution are examined in their proper perspectives, as real threats to human existance. The population bomb is explored and exploded in terrifying numerical terms. And the vital statistics of chemical pollution from industry and pesticides are finally brought thru the smog of false advertising to light.PREPARED FOR TODAY

This book, which was prepared f o r th e f i r s t n a t i o n a l environmental teach-in being held today, not only tells the multisided facts of the problems but also offers practical solutions on every level. Suggestions which can be followed by private citizens; how every one of us can exercise influence over the big offenders, like Shell Oil Company and General Motors, as well as methods of halting pollution emitted from our own campus and home communities.

The Friends of the Earth, who organized this year’s handbook, plan to publish a new book each year to tell what has or has not been done to curb the pollution which is being pored into rivers, stream s and lakes each day and the gasses which are mixed into the air we breathe. But this is not the kind of book you can just sit back and read. It is a book which truly drives home the message that “ the 1970 s are the last chance for a future that makes ecological sense.” - Lepre

In their first attempt at recording, they have produced one of supreme excellence. “What About The Wind” is perhaps the best cut on the album, featuring the soft sexy voice of the unidentified female lead. Another interesting song is their rendition of “Summertime.” Whereas Janis Joplin turned it into hard blues, Montreal treats it as a fine listening song.

Halfway thru the album, I was convinced that Clover should have remained l o o k ed over. While their musicianship is of a fair quality, it is not the best. I have often heard better from high school groups. Some of those appearing at Life Hall cafeteria are 10 times as good as Clover.

Good Morning, Earth Day

Earth day has finally arrived. With its speakers and panel discussions, it has come a long way since its national inception last year.

Students and faculty, mostly those connected with the Conservation Club, have broken all records in firming up the program being offered today.

Taking It to

Heart

Unfortunately, MSC’s Earth day will not be a success unless the students take it to heart. We can be bombarded with facts of impending doom. Our own practical experience of viewing the King Kong-like smog gripping the upper reaches of the Empire State building even on a clear day should make air, water and food pollution a reality.

But it does not. To echo the words of MSC President Thomas Richardson, the deaths of 4000 in London due to smog lacks the drama of 40.000 dying in Vietnam. The vast ugliness of “America the beautiful” is nothing like the destruction of vegetation in the jungles of Southeast Asia. But both are unnecessary.

So, while we have war protests, the “pedestrian mall” of MSC is a garbage dump. Except on rainy days. Then the dump switches indoors.

Garbage is part of pollution. It is “eye-pollution” . But, because it lacks drama, MSC students are content to throw their papers all over campus, while dashing from “C” to “V” and straight to “L.”

-Letters to the Editor------------------------------

Nobody Really Fits the CategoryTo the Editor:

With reference to your editorial (April 15), I don’t believe anyone would fit into the “anti-environmentalist” category. I’m sure everyone realizes the pressing dangers being caused by pollution. What some of us don’t agree with are the tactics being used to “combat” pollution. I t h i n k that teach-ins and demonstrations are only going to hurt this cause.

A lot of people are so fed up with demonstrations that they are just going to ignore any cause, no matter how important. And the demonstrators themselves are probably going to get so frustrated because of lack of action that they too will soon be ignoring this cause. This can be seen by just looking at the results of the civil rights demonstrations and the recent war moratoriums. If Nixon and the rest of the administration feel that this is such an important issue, why don’t they enact legislation to

stop the pollution of our air and water instead of simply backing these planned demonstrations.

Along the lines of your own editorial, it is more than possible, it is a fact that about 100 Americans a week are being denied the right to breathe even polluted air because they are being sent to die in an unconstitutional war.

Eugene Mahler, ’72.

'Borstal Boy' looks at revolution rBy Maurice J. Moran Jr.Sta ff reviewerNEW YO RK — James Joyce and Bernard Shaw left Ireland by choice . Brendan Behan was deported from the Emerald Isle forcibly because of his “ leftist" leaninqs; he favored a free Ireland.

"Borstal Boy," winner of the Best Play Tony Award, is the story of Behan's first attempt at te rro rism for the Irish Republican army. It follows his pretrial imprisonment, where the play's bloodiest scenes evolve, to his three-year reform at a boy's borstal at Hollesley Bay, England.

"Bee-han," as the English say, is actually two characters in the play, which was adapted from his a u t o b i o g r a p h y by F ra nk

McMahon. One is the elderly diabetic author, played by Niall T o ib in , who serves as the nar rator-consc ience of the younger rebel Brenden portrayed by Frank Grimes.THE GHOST APPEARS

Toibin is so believable that critic John Simon almost swore that it was the ghost of Behan himself. This reviewer can only attest to his believability as a man sorrowful at leaving his great heritage behind.

Grimes, in his American acting debut, hit the mark of the angry young rebel. His cries of "Up the Republic" were full of the strength of a true revolutionary. Between him and his elder self, so many good humorous remarks are

tossed, that space does not allow the ir inc lus ion here. They included knocks on Christianity and a song on the relative worth of Hitler's sexual organs.

While the play drags slightly in the first act, the overall power of the final few words make it all worthwhile. Remembering an Ireland that is still not united, we hear a stranger say to young Behan: " I t must be great to be free.” "Yes," he sighs, " it must."

NEW YO RK — To present philosphy thru drama is a difficult task. Playwright Stanley Eveling's

'Isaac’ flows happilyBy Hal PlainS ta ff reviewer

Rock musicals seem to be the wave of the future in theater and in an attempt to follow the tide, many shows miss the boat entirely. The new musical, "The Last Sweet Days of Isaac," not only catches the tide but creates some new ripples of its own in the theatrical ocean. This happy new show is being performed at the Eastside Playhouse, 334 E . 74th St., and is directed by Word Baker w h o a l s o di rected "T h e Fantasticks." Starring in the show are A us t in Pendleton and Fredricka Weber. The rock music is provided by a group called, "The Zeitgeist."

The show consists of two short

plays, "The Elevator," and " I Want To Walk To San Francisco," the first being semi-realistic and the second almost existentialist . The acting is superb and the director artfully uses the actors and the surrealistic set their fullest advantage.

The set created by Ed Witstein and the lighting by David F . Segal provide the perfect framework for the show. Created out of aluminum and plexiglass, the set is suggestively stark and allows the actor and the audience free rein for their imaginations. So sit back, theat regoers , and let "The Zeitgeist" take you on a short musical trip. You'll come back happy.

Kirk: Master of reeds and miscellaneous musicBy Russ LayneS ta ff reviewer

Rahsaan Roland Kirk, winner of the "miscellaneous instrument" category in Downbeat's annual music poll, is to be one of the headliners of Montclair State's first annual jazz festival entitled "And all that jazz. . . . "

K irk , a blind musician who has won acclaim as being able to

simultaneously play two and sometimes three reed instruments adeptly, is popular among a number of pop groups. He has jammed with the Mothers of Invention as well as having had his music performed by Jethro Tu ll. K irk's music ranges anywhere f rom the be-bop to the avant-garde and his sense of

humor complements his ability as a top jazz musician. Some of the instruments he plays such as the monzello and stritch are rarely found in contemporary music, thereby providing an interesting experience in sound. A t the Newport Jazz Festival two years ago. K i r k was unanimously acclaimed a hit.

Another attribute accredited to Kirk is his ability to vocalize and play the flute at the same time.

Among Kirk's latest records is Volunteered Slavery, an album issued by Atlantic records. On this r e l e a s e , K i r k p lays "M a CherieAmour" and his popular rendition of " I Say a Little Prayer."

Stylistic survey accompanies painting, potteryBy Richard LupoSta ff reviewer

Two new exhibits have opened recently at the Montclair Art Museum, 3 S . Mountain Ave. entitled, "The Recent Years" and "A Painter - A Potter."

"The Recent Years" consists of a good cross-section of paintings executed by prominent American artists from the past two decades. Some of the famous artists represented are Jackson Pollock, Wi l lem de Kooning , Hans Hofmann, Adolf Gottleib, Mark Tobey and Robert Motherwell.; Only one painting of each

artist is shown, and unfortunately, not all are of the artists' best work. However, the paintings are

decent reflections of each artist's general stylistic impact on modern art. Some lesser—known artists such as Lee Hall, Paul Jenkins, Joan Mitchell, Conrad Marca-Rella and Frank Roth are admirably represented in the exhibit.

The painting styles range from abstract expressionism, "action" painting and Tachisme, to tight geometrical constructions and "minimal" art.

TWO IN ONEAcross the corridor, the

alternate exhibit "A Painter — A Potter," is actually two shows in one. The artists whose work is displayed are Japanese painter Yutaka Ohashi and American potter Bruno La Verdiere.

Japanese-born Ohashi creates h is paint ings by using a paper-col lage technique in combination with monoprint, silver-gold leaf, and calligraphy. T h i s combinat ion produces paintings of rare design quality and sensitivity to the use of mediums. Most of his work balances f ree "Calligraphic" images with angular geometric forms. In all of the paintings there is a "Shimmer" of color, due to his use of translucent collage paper. The inspiration for all of his works is said to be derived f r o m L a d y M u r a s a k i ' s "Gengi-Mongatori."

Bruno La Verdiene's ceramic pieces are mainly stoneware.

formed by coil techniques. Most of his works are large urn-like structures, both decorative and f u n c t i o n a l . The s ty le is reminiscent of oriental pottery in its ornamental patterns and brush-strokes.

Hung along each wall in the exhibition room are La Verdiene's l a r g e c e r a m i c " h o r n s . " Resembling old hunting bugles, they measure over three feet long. E la b o ra te ly decorated with various glazes, he has remarked, " I u s e m y p o t t e r y l i k e three-dimensional canvases". . . . " I incorporate a sense of humor, but never to make the work trite ." "My work is always for real." The exhibit will continue until the end of May.

Steppenwolf’s sound lives live for listenerBy Frank SulichSta ff reviewer

"And now, live and in co lor . . . Steppenwolf."

T h e a n n o u n c e r o n S t e p p e n w o l f ' s l ive a lbum, Steppenwolf Live, begins the two record set of ins and outs, ups and downs and high riding excitement. Steppenwolf, consisting of John Kay, Jerry Edmonton, Larry Byron, Nick St. Nicholas, and Goldy McJohn, are a tight knit,

full blown, electric group with a message; and they set it off well. The crowds cheer, and the group acknowledges the response. To quote John Kay: "When we hear tfiat coming from out there, it makes us want to do more up here."

Upon receiving the album from Dunhill records, this reviewer expected a mass of noise, screams and levity. To the contrary, the

album is acid rock in its purest form. Steppenwolf performs all their greatest hits, "Born To Be W ild," "Monster," and "Magic Carpet Ride;" plus cuts from other albums, "The Pusher," "Sookie Sookie" and "Draft Resister." The highlight of the collection is undoubtedly "Don't Step On The Grass, Sam." Also included is their newest single, "Hey Lawdy Mama."

The album is already number 39 on the cash box survey and it's still climbing. And rightly so. Following the explosive sales of this record, Steppenwolf will undoubtedly be rated as high on the list with the tops as anyone. If a listener has seen the group live, this album will serve to accent the memories of the performance. The album is live, and the listener lives the life of Steppenwolf.

ph i losophic perceptions of existence, particularly those of an aging, alcoholic writer and his young, feminine admirer in the off-Broadway play "Dear Janet Rosenberg, Dear Mr. Kooning," either come off too obviously — when Catherine Burns lists the themes of her novel — or are obscured by the poetic language.

In this play that shares a double bill with Eveling's "Jakey Fat Boy" at the Gramercy Arts Theater, E. 27 street at Lexington avenue, Catherine Burns as Janet Rosenberg and Kevin O'Connor as Mr. Kooning struggle valiantly to enl iven the heavily cerebral material and succeed amazingly well.

LETTER S OF ILLUSIONTo demonstrate the inability of

people to communicate and o v e r c o m e t h e i r i l lus ions concerning each other, Eveling has these two characters exchange thoughts and feelings by letter. Tracing the gradual, desperate exchange of dependency from admirer to admired, this device is alternately tedious and powerfully dramatic, a reflection of reality.

In a play basically pathetic (or maybe this is a new form of tragedy), one brief scene between Mr. Kooning and Janet's mother, also admirably acted by Miss Burns, provides a touch of levity. The familiary awkward situation between the male caller and the gir l 's mother turns into a hilariously absurd one.

J u l e s F i s h e r ' s l ighting c o m b i n e d w i t h M a x S t a f f o r d - C l a r k ' s d i rect i on effectively capture and emphasize the characters ' ex i s ten t ia l alienation and efforts to get together. The music too sets the various tones of the play — the nostalgic "Red Sails in the Sunset," the romantic Strauss waltzes and the painful blues of Louis Armstrong.

COULD BE DELIGHTThat your choice of action is

insignificant so long as you choose is revealed in an unusual manner at the play's end (but I won't tell ). If you enjoy hard work while watching a play, rather then relaxed absorption, I support "Dear Janet Rosenberg, Dear Mr. Kooning" will be a delight.

A ltho the above-mentioned play may be a chore, "Jakey Fat Boy” is highly entertaining, and more than makes up for any problems encountered in the first. What matters here is the wonderfully imaginative interplay between an impotent, pseudo-hip, egotistical man, skillfully played by Kevin O'Connor, (who loves the sound of his name) and a freaky, floaty, vibrant young girl, portrayed excellently by Penelope Allen. The sexual punning and the varieties of expression she brings to the word "Yes" will surely fascinate.

On the eve of SGA elections, T r a y n o r sum mar iz ed the a c c o m p l i s h m e n t s of his administration. " There was more involvement and interest in SGA on the part of students," he began. "From the lowest point of

respect that students held for S G A d u r i n g t h e l a s t a d m i n i s t r a t i o n , we have accomplished our main objective of gaining their respect. Students now feel we are working for them," he explained.

Traynor named his efforts to create a student delegate on the MSC board of trustees as one of this year's undertakings. Altho t h i s h a s n o t y e t been accomplished, the president said there is a favorable attitude towards this move on the part of the board.

The referendum held by students for the unlimited cut policy was another innovative task cited by T r a y n o r . " I t is unfortunate that the faculty have so much to say," he remarked regretfully, adding that they do play an important role. The policy has since been okd by the Faculty Council.

The project of getting liquor on campus was begun under Traynor's office and he hopes to have it accompished "next year, because time ran out."

Two new SGA offices have been created under Traynor: the vice-president of external affairs, "keeping a pulse oh national student movements and funding; and the vice-president of academic a f fa i r s , answer ing academic questions for students.

"The creation of the all-college Senate was another step forward," commented the departing chief. "And students became involved in the faculty evaluation program."

Traynor pointed out that SGA "routine has run smoothly this year, and we have created the necessary interest and trust of students."

Serving as attorney general to SGA next year, the president mentioned plans "to become involved on various committees and remain as active as possible."

He emphasized the necessity for electing "somebody who will put himself on the chopping block." The president of SGA must "work for the welfare of all students."

Kevin McGrath — Guy With the Lunch BagBy Carol Sakowitz

Sports WriterThe day was warm and above

the sky was a clear blue. Students at Montclair State College were sitting on the grass in front of Life Hall. A guy with dark curly hair sat talking, with a brown lunch bag placed next to him. The big difference between him and the others around him was that he is Kevin McGrath and lately he's been winning a lot of races for MSC's track team.

A t first he apologetic about what he would thought be a "dull interview." " I really don't know why I got interested in running,"

He started running for the Indian cross-country team last fall and was the third man on the team, following captain Dale Rodgers and Vic Mizzone.

Indians Win 2nd — Trip in Relays

M o n t c l a i r S t a t e College's track team upped its season record to 2-1 Wednesday by defeating Paterson State College, 87-58. And on Saturday, Coach George Horn's relay team and his high jump and discus entries failed to place in the lona-Queens relay.

K e v i n M c G r a t h continued his winning ways by taking the 880-yard dash and placing second in the two-mile run. Trailing PSC's Fred Ross by 15 yards, McGrath overtook Ross in the final leg of the run and finished by 15 yards.

The Indians' Rich D'Andrea and Jim Thomas were the only athletes to take two firsts. D'Andrea took the shot put with a 47'5" throw and the discus with a 151'8". Thomas won the high jump and the triple jump.

On Sa tu rd a y, the Indians failed to do anything worthwhile in the relay. The meet, held at Randall's Island in New Y o rk , attracted more c o n t e s t a n t s t h a n spectators. Tho the public turnout was poor, the relay had 25 teams entered, the furthest colleges coming from Puerto Rico.

Thomas, entered in the high jump, failed to make it over the bar at 6'2” and was disqualified early in the meet. D'Andrea made the semifinals but his 141'2" throw in the discus was one inch shy of the finals.

The sprint medley team o f M c G r a t h , Glen Staudinger, Glen Hedden and Alex Kaplanovich won their heat but the 3:38.3 time wasn't low enough to qualify for the finals.

YO U 'RE PUTTING M E ON: Sophomore Lou Tuccillo putts during the match between MSC and Newark-Rutgers. The Indians racked up their fourth victory o f the season when they defeated Newark-Rutgers 4% to 1 %. In earlier action last week the golfers upset Upsala 12- 2.

You Don’t Have to Practice If You've Got the SkillPractice doesn't always make

perfect.Altho for years people have

believed that in order to be good at a sport, a person had to spend long hours and years of practice at it, at Montclair State College there is a baseball player who, by his play, is doing much to prove this idea wrong.

His name is Joe Baker and his batting average and timely hitting are two main reasons for the Indians' fine diamond record this season. The remarkable thing about the hitting ability Baker has demonstrated is the fact that this

M SCs Loss To Glassboro:

1Little League’?In a game which looked more

like little league than college baseball Montclair State College pitchers gave up 13 hits and 12 walks whi le Indian fielders committed 11 errors in presenting Glassboro State with a 21-10 victory on Saturday.

The loss was the second straight Saturday setback for the Indians and gave Glassboro's Profs sole possession of the top spot in the State College Conference with a 4-0 conference mark. MSC fell to 3-1 in the conference.

In the Indians' other contests last week, sophomore Paul Parker became the first hurler to go the distance as MSC dropped Paterson State, 7-2. Ken Inglis struck out 11 and was helped by five Indian homers in dumping Newark State, 12-4.

Fifteen of Glassboro's 21 runs were unearned as the multitude of MSC errors led to the Profs' first 10 tallies. They built up a 9-0 cushion before Dale Garlick homered to left for the first MSC run of the day.

MSC scored four times in the next inning to narrow the count to 9-5. The Profs tallied once in the top of the seventh, then sent 16 men to the plate and scored 11 runs in the top of the ninth.

The Indians came back with five runs in the bottom of the inning on Carmine DeSimone's two-run single. Bob Mooney's two-run double, and Frank Rossi's single, but they were still 11 runs short.

DeSimone, Phil Baccarella, and Joe Baker cracked successive singles to bring home the go-ahead run as the Indians went on to down PSC last Monday.

Both DeSimone and Baccarella were two for three to pace MSC's nine-hit attack. After walking six Pioneer stickmen in the first three innings and giving up two runs in the second stanza, Parker came on strong to pick up his second victory of the year. He struck out nine.

is his comeback season after a two-year respite from the diamond.BETTER THAN .400

A second-team all state and first team Group IV all-stater in 1966 while handling the first base chores for Weequahic High in Newark, the 6 '3" , 190-pound Baker led the Indians to a second-place finish in the City League. In that, his senior year. Baker finished the year with a better than .400 batting average.

U p o n g ra du a t io n f rom Weequahic, Baker moved up the road to Montclair State College to major in physical education.

Besides playing football and basketball as a freshman. Baker earned a starting berth on the varsity baseball squad. After starting at the first sack for Bill Dioguardi's nine for the first five games, Baker hit a slump and spent most of the remainder of the season on the bench.

Following his frosh year at MSC, Baker, as he says, "realized that there were other things in the world besides sports." So he decided to give up the spikes, sneakers and glove to pursue other interests.A TH LETE JOINS TEACHER CORPS

Baker's sophomore and junior years found him returning to Newark to become a member of the Teacher Corps. In the Corps, he still attends MSC but spends much of his time back in his home c i ty , teaching, working with children and trying to make it possible for some people to get the same chances to prove themselves that he did.

During his vacation from sports, all of Baker's time wasn't spent at work. On New Year's day, 1969, Joe was married and now is the proud father of Joseph IV.

This year, Joe got the urge to return to sports and was a starter on the football team until his Teacher Corps and family obligations forced him to give it up.

Now, Baker is back on the diamond pounding the ball as if he never was away. Coach Clary Anderson feels that the layoff has hurt -his fielding somewhat, and therefore has moved Baker from his first base spot to the outfield, but the .479 average Baker had in Florida as a first baseman hasn't dropped much because of the transition.ANOTHER JOE BAKER?

Who knows? Maybe someday in the future there'll be another Joe Baker playing baseball for Montclair State. His path to college may have been made easier by his father's work. And maybe by then MSC may make it a requirement to take a few years off during an athletic career.

If it worked for Joe Baker, maybe it can work for everyone.
