KXYZ-FM: to Houston with 'Love' Houston has a new sound. I t 's

called "Love."

"Love" is a radio concept fea-tur ing progressive-social com-mentary type sounds which has been available for the pas t six monhs ton .six of the seven ABC-owned FM stations across the country. The local outlet, KXYZ-FM, picked the program up September 1, and has since explained "Love"s Houston air t ime f rom two to four hours a night . Current plans are to go 12 hours December 1 and 24 hours sometime in the near fu-ture.

The groundwork fo r "Love" on a nationwide basis was laid about two and one-half years ago, shortly a f t e r the Federal Communications Commission ruled t ha t FM stations could duplicate no more than f i f t y percent of the programming of their AM aff i l ia tes . Af t e r a year or so of t ry ing to come up with the required programming*, it became apparent to the ABC executives t h a t all of the sta-tions were going nowhere. Even in New York, there was no mar -ket f o r Broadway show tunes and other c o n v e n t i o n a l " s t r a igh t " pieces.

Realizing t h a t a new ap-proach » was negessary, ABC hired a former director of pro-gramming fo r the CBS aff i l ia te in Chicago, WCFL. He began surveying the monthly " top 200" charts , and found tha t in 1967 about 35% of the leading1 al-bums were by u^deygjound pro-gressive rock groups, which un-til t ha t t ime had been ignored by most AM rock stations. The f igure rose to over 60% in 1968.

A t this point the ABC exec-utives decided tha t there was a marke t f o r progressive rock, and tha t thevFM stations, which

had declined tremendously since the enforced dissociation, could feed the demand. They assem-bled a s taff of professionals— technicians, engineers, wri ters , announcers—and began to piece together the program known as "Love" which f i r s t went on the

'"air in six cities in March of this year.

"Love" is sort of a unique thing. I t ' s prettjr hard to de-scribe because actually i t ' s a number of things woven to-gether to produce a distinctive atmosphere.

The chief personality is an ordained Lutheran minister who calls himself Brother John on the air. He's really John Ryd-gren, a former director of tele-vision and radio production fo r the United Lutheran Church of America, who became interested in rock and its social implica-tions. Rydgren still does a week-ly show fo r the Lutheran or-ganization which can be heard on KILT every Sunday morn-ing.

Brother John does all the in-ter-record dialogue, all 24 hours of it on the stations which pro-g ram "Love" all day, but his big th ing is social commentary. His approach is usually low-key, leading into a disc with a poem or - short s ta tement which he feels ties in with the music. A t t imes the intros seem a bit t r iv-ial, but generally the commen-t a r y helps to create an aware-ness of the ar t is t , the music, and a piece of society which might otherwise be missed.

The music itself varies f r o m hard acid-rock, to folk, and "progressive" with occasional snatches of blues and country-western.

Every hour, a guy who calln himself Howard K. Sftrith does a hip news commentary type

r

fea tu re thing. Smith, who edits the Village Voice, sometimes has an interest ing point to make, relevant to youth. Again, a few of these are juvenile.

Then there 's another guy who does some pret ty good in-depth vignettes on contemporory. mu-sic and groups. A recent analy-sis of the Doors—their decline and fall—was impressive. He -calls himself "Bobaloo" on the air, but for the pas t few years he's been a regular disc jockey on New York's WABC AM sta-tion.

"Love" is put together in i ts entirely by the ABC-FM staff in New York. Aff i l ia te stat ions are supplied with enough tapes to cover the hours designated fo r the program in each city. Sta-tions playing "Love" on a reg-ular basis are located in New

" York, San Franciscd, Los An-geles, Chicago, Detroit, and Pit tsburgh in addition to Hous-ton.

According to Dan Ea rha r t , KXYZ spokesman, the "Love" format enables network FM stations to present quality pro-gressive programming of inter-est to listeners without the f i -nancial hassles which charac-terized FM radio in the past .

"The whole thing is very in-volved," Ea rha r t said. "An im-mense amount of writ ing, talent ,

* and money go into the produc-tion. But we think the program-ming is excellent."

Although "Love" lacks the local f lavor t h a t the defunct KFMK was able to convey, it does an excellent job of pre-senting th6 best in contempo-ra ry music. KXYZ-FM has an advantage over the old Mother Radio in t ha t i ts signal is 100,000 wa t t s generated f rom a 600 foot antenna.

Plans calling fo r the separa-tion of resident and non-resi-dent college dues were formu-lated a t the organizational meeting of the Rice Off-Cam-pus Student Association, Mon-day night .

The Rice students in at tend-ance were unanimous in the i r opposition to the existing sys-tem, under which they, in ef-fect , must subsidize the con-veniences of the on-campus members. Each Rice student, re-gardless of residence, mus t pay $20 dues to the college with which he is associated. Most of the college's dues are spent for schemes which will either benefit only residents or will benefit non-residents only if they are willing to pay the addi-tional cost of t ranspor ta t ion and meals.

Several a l ternate plans were proposed. One was, in effect , modeled a f t e r the Yale system, in which virtually all s tudents arc required to live in the colleges. This proposal would necessitate, additional expendi-tures to expand college facili-ties to include more living space, parking facilities, optional par-ticipation in food service meals, and would also require modern-ization of college and University regulations. T h a t proposal seemed very unlikely to succeed a t present.

Off-campus college The second plan examined in-

cluding diverting the entire $20 college dues f rom the college to the founding of an off-campus dining club, which would, in ef-fect, be an off-campus college, with meals available ( f rom a source other than the Food Service, planned social and, ed-ucational activities, and which would provide a meeting place f o r off-campus students. The sum available would be in the

neighborhood of $16,000, which would not suffice to complete all p lans fo r several years but would eventually, with proper planning, resul t in something f o r off-campus students fo r their expenditure.

A compromise plan suggest-ed remit tance of $5 to the col-leges to maintain records and membership and $15 to the Off-campus SA for social and edu-cational activities, and for study of problems related directly to of f -campus students, such as housing, parking, and communi-cations.

Own apar tmen t Other plans include purchase

of an apa r tmen t house through the F H A and a down payment secured f rom a local donor. Rents would pay the loan pay-ments , and as an incorporated body, the OCSA could own this proper ty , and with it, as capi-tal, plan fo r f u t u r e expansion. Pe te r Robie is current ly work-ing on these plans, according to Lee Hors tman, SA president. Such an off -campus "college" would be f ree f rom University intervention and might eventu-ally evolve into its own f ree university.

Brfice Williams, fo rmer mem-ber of the Student Asssociation executive committee, was elect-ed interim chairman of the OC-SA.

Williams reported on the ac-tions of the Will Rice Diet in renovating their cabinet s t ruc-ture to more equitably repre-sent those members living of f -campus. At present , near ly all college offices in all colleges are limited to on-campus mem-bers. The various cabinets a re gerrymandered to over-repre-sent residents.

Plans fo r f u j ^ £ . meetings have not been released, bu t in-terested individuals are asked to contact Williams or Rich-ard Lemuth.

Peace, politics, and Dan Rather CBS News White House Cor-

respondent Dan Rather will speak tomorrow at 2:30 pm in Hamman Hall. His appearance a t Rice is sponsored by the campus Young Democrats.

Rather is perhaps best re-mbered for the incident during the Chicago Democratic Con-vention when he was punched in the stomach by a security guard in f r o n t of mjllions of television viewers.

A fo rmer news director of KTRH radio in Houston, Rather has since emerged as one of the CBS networks's most knowl-edgeable and efficient young re-porters. His White House beat,

a position he earned a f t e r dis-tinguished himself as the net-work's key correspondent in Dallas following the assissina-tion of President Kennedy, has kept Ra the r close to the admin-istrat ion scene. He has partici -pated in several CBS news specials and special reports, in-cluding "Peace, Politics, and the Pres ident" in April, 1968, and anchored special repor ts on the assassinat ion and funera l of Dr. Mart in Luther King.

Ra the r joined CBS as Chief of the Southwest Bureau in Dallas a f t e r two years as Di-rector of News' and Public Af -fairs for KHOU-TV in Houston.

Steed hits Dykes' judgment errors

"Piewive tty/t£ ta cU^cat The e f fec t s of las t Wednesday 's Moratorium, pro and

con, will be debated until the war is over.

I t is a l together possible, in fac t highly probable, t ha t some of the opposition which was voiced last week and in proceeding weeks, has been "irresponsible" in t h a t those who have evoked it have given little or no consideration to implications which their actions might have upon the f u t u r e course of society.

But these were the minority. Most of the s tudents and other cit izens who in ter rupted the course of daily business to par t ic ipate in Wednesday 's activities reflected an intense and realist ic concern over wha t seems to them a senseless political war.

Most of the a rguments which have been advanced in d< fense of continued American occupation of Southeast Asia have been t ranslucent a t best; those aga ins t the Morator ium and similar dissensions are downright t r ansparen t .

Pres ident Nixon's fodder man, Vice President Agnew, lias made several s t a tements which ref lec t poorly upon his chief 's ability to perceive the a t t i tudes and feel ings of a s ignif icant segment of the nation's populace. "Educat ion is being redefined a t the demand of the uneducated to suit tin.- ideas of the uneducated," Agnew said earl ier this week in a part icularly meaningless Republican fund- ra i s ing speech. " The student now goes to college to proclaim r a t h e r than to learn."

This is the kind of utterly idiotic anti-il lectual pseudo-logic which the current Adminis t ra t ion has conveniently and consistently utilized to discredit all criticism which seems to * » ^ come 1 rom the direction of the general academic* community.

Agnew and other "spokesmen," par t icular ly the new Senate Minority Leader, Hugh Scott, have repeatedly con-demned public mass protests , which they claim do nothing but prolong the war by aiding and abet t ing the enemy. 1 hey neglect to point out t h a t the Par i s peace "negot ia t ions"

have gotten nowhere anyway, primari ly because nei ther side is willing to negotiate. 'Meanwhile people continue to die.

To an increasing number of though t fu l Americans, it is no longer a question of "winning" or " losing" or even saving face. Too many, f o r whatever reason, a re fed up with the war ; f rom the Adminis t rat ion 's s tandpoint , there are not enough who are all tha t concerned about Mr. Nixon 's niche in the his toiy books.

If the Admiiiistration persists i n ' p u r s u i n g the war to "victorious" conclusion, and indications are t ha t it won't,

tin 11 probably the Moratorium did indeed contribute to its prolongation.

The chances are good, however, t ha t Mr. Nixon did indeed " t ake notice" last Wednesday, and tha t the resul t will ln> accelerated withdrawal of combat troops.

\\ hntever, the proposed "Morator ium on Dissent" mus t never be permi t ted to become a real i ty. To be able to voice opposition to a par t icular policy of the Adminis t ra t ion is vital to the continuance of the American form of democracy. \\ hether t h a t dissent is "construct ive" or not is i r re levant , as long as it is t ruly dissent and contains no elements of violence or physical intimidation. Whatever i t s charac ter , f reedom of expression must be preserved. — j d m

To the Edi tor :

I have read wi th some inter-

est Mr. Edward R. Dykes 's la t -

est cri de cour a t the impend-

ing collapse of Western civili-

zation. Dykes makes some good

points: black-white perceptions

of real i ty are misleading; the

United Sta tes cannot play God.

However, having g ran ted these

propositions, Dykes proceeds to

repudia te them in the develop-

ment of his a rgument .

Despite his disclaimers, Dykes does see the world in black and white himself . Looking out over the ea r th f r o m the elevated perspective of w h a t he is pleas-ed to call " . . . the Western Democracies . . ., " he obvious-ly sees a dark Communist mono-li th—a wolf, to use his own happy image—skulking along the edge of the l ight t e s t ing the resolution of the West . Fo r "Wes t " we m u s t of course read, "The United S ta tes . " For Dykes, Vietnam is a thea t re , r a t h e r s teamy and disagreeable, in which Good and Evil contend aga ins t one another .

Yet, sad to say, there a re those who are blind to th is ti-

tanic bat t le . Absorbed in silly millenial dreams, they indulge their f leshly lusts f o r drugs , immoral conduct, and long hai r , ignoring the demands of the all-consuming moral s t ruggle . Mor-a l i ty—that is the key to Dykes 's a rgument . We a re not God, he says. Nothing daunted by th is sad admission, he then sugges t s t ha t we are the best th ing avail-able all the same and m u s t act accordingly. The t imes are out of joint and we in America m u s t set them r igh t since we can con-f ident ly act wi th the knowledge tha t wha t little t ru th , justice, and infalible wisdom we lack is not wor th wor ry ing about. In short , Mr, Dykes propounds the New Jerusalem reading of Ame-rican history.

I would sugges t t h a t Mr. Dykes's judgment is mis taken. If there is a New Je rusa lem in America it now lies, shadowy and insubstant ia l , behind the anguish of our poor, our sick, our hungry coutrymen, behind our disgraceful racial animosi-ties. We are told t h a t t he King-dom of God lies in our own hear ts . Sux-ely, if there is to be a New Je rusa lam it, too, ought to lie there and become mani-

f e s t in our own country before we under take to ca r ry i t t o wretched peoples f a r away. We cannot give others peace or bread to good e f fec t while we be t r ay our her i t age and our Promise here a t home.

Isbin relates medal of honor battle To the Ed i to r :

E a r l y Sa tu rday af te rnoon, at-tired in a coat and tie, I a t -tempted to pro tes t the Vietnam W a r in f r o n t of the Shamrock Hilton, as the Medal of Honor Winners were r e tu rn ing to the hotel f rom the parade, held in the i r honor, in downtown Hous-ton. The placard I carried, was not offensive to the medalists . I t said, "America is proud of i ts heroes, not of i ts leading politicians. The War—not the Morator ium—is absurd. Peace, not War . "

[ did not last more than five minutes before a medal-laden, mustache f launt ing , " h e r o " stole my hign, cursed me and threatened to th row me out of a window. If I were like the bigoted supcrpat r io ts , who ac-cuse all demonst ra tors of being Communist anarchis ts , I would now accuse all the medal of honor winners of being fascis ts .

However, I r e fu se to make such b la tant general izat ions. Before I was uncivilly abused, a t least f o r t y medal of honor winners and the i r wives walked by me. Most took t ime to read m y sign; • several, seemingly Amused, smiled; a f ew thanked me and a f ew f rowned, hut all of those who jaunted p a s t me respected my r igh t to protes t .

Albeit, before long, an il lustri-ous compatr iot of mine honored f o r defending d e m o c r a c y aga ins t autocrat ic governments abroad, ,would not allow demo-crat ic p ro tes t a t home. To some, pa t r io t i sm is blind obedi-ence. To me, and mos t young adults , pa t r io t i sm is car ing obedience. We embrace t h e ideals of f reedom, just ice, and equality and we see i t our duty to criticize our government

when it diverts f r o m its nigral obligations.

I was more annoyed, how-ever, with an ass i s tan t man-anger of the Hilton who sup-ported our "hero ' s" thievery. Most civilized people who dis-approve of people peaceful ly protes t ing on their p r iva te pro-per ty ask them to leave. If I had been asked to leave, I would have lef t , though de-jectedly. However, my proper ty was stolen and I was physically threatened if I "didn' t «get the Hell out."

Some may ask, " W h a t did you accomplish? W h a t good did it d o ? " To those who ask, I respond. The war has been go-ing on for years under the pro-tective mask of l iberty, and justice. The revolt Eugene Mc-Car thy and the massive suppor t he received woke up our dor-m a n t politicians. To those who

were aware, the 1968 revolt gave them an audience in Con-gress. Public opinion prompted the bombing halt . Public op-inion brought troop reductions. And mobilized public opinion will force our politicians to ei ther end the w a r or thei r careers. My isolated protes t is but one of many protes ts t h a t are aimed to keep the war , and its immoralit ies, in the fore-f r o n t of our lives. Those of us who believe tha t wha t we are doing in Vietnam, and else-where, is wrong, we will never stop our protest ing. We will never forsake the ideals upon which this country was found-ed, "equali ty and justice f o r a l l ; " but we will keep holding t h a t banner for all persecuted peo-ple in the world.

If Miss Kendrick 's col-umn were to appeal to the paci-f i s t element (hard-core, ye t ) it would hardly a t t emp t to rouse i t s readers to "violent p ro tes t .

I would f u r t h e r ask Mr. Wil-l iams if he, himself , has consid-ered all of the f a c t s concerning

American involvement in t he war . I wonder if he takes into account 600,000 lives lost over the period of American involve-

Mr. Williams is entit led to his opinion (well-read and fu l ly informed, I 'm sure ) , bu t 1 mus t ask t h a t he express such opin-ion in a m a n n e r more accept-able to those possesed of an education wor thy of t he H a r -vard of the South.

Senate discusses goal orientation By JOHN MAULDIN

SA President Lee Horstman adjourned last Tuesday's SA meeting a f t e r 15 minutes and immediately asked the Senate to remain for a discussion per-iod in which the goal and poli-cies of the SA would be discuss-ed.

Horstman started the period by s tat ing tha t it is now time for the Senate to s tar t con-sidering what will be its main priorities during the coming year.

The f i r s t idea mentioned was tha t of incorporating the Stu-dent Association. Horstman said many benefits can be realized by the student body, such as, the improvement of student services while lowering prices; more student jobs; legal shelter for the editors of student pub-lications; a financially re-sponsible f ramework for stu-dent ideas; and the business training and experience for the students. I t was noted that the variety of situations the corp-oration could handle would be limited only by the student in-terest .

By f a r the most important of the services tha t the corp-oration could perform would be in the establishment of an off-campus college or housing facility. This would ease the housing shortage, (also lower rents) , could be used as an experimental community center, and give the corporation col-lateral for fu tu re loans. The rent would pay for the building itself. The idea of a student corporation was placed into a

committee headed by Will Rice Senator Dan King1.

Ann Ross, SA Senator-at-Large, suggested that the Sen-ate might also look into the possibility of additional coed housing and overcrowding. The idea of trying to fonn an in-vestigative group to look into the university expenditures and priorities and offer constructive ideas to the board in this area was talked about. The idea of university policy, both short-range and long-range, and how the Senate could help shape the course of the school was discussed. Horstman mentioned that this is basically what the CUE committee is for, and suggested tha t any work done by the Senate be done in con-junction with CUE. Horstman ended the discussion by asking the members to come to the next meeting with definite ideas and suggestions. Horst-man said later that with work this could be the beginning of an important era in Rice stu-dent history.

In the regular Senate meet-ing, the unofficial results of the elections were announced. Leighton Read beat Russ Jones in the preferential ballot by a vote of 91 to 89. Ted Farmer won 316 to 257 over Rodney Crowl. Buff Waters was elect-ed to the Honor Council with 11 votes.

Michael Managan interrupted the meeting and presented the Senate with a letter stating that Bennet Fallc according to the Constitution, was no longer SA

vice-president and therefore he had illegally spent student funds. The apparent trouble arises from the fac t tha t Falk has been absent f rom Senate meetings twice in a row. Falk was said to have a class at this time. The Senate expects to have a written s tatement f rom Falk concerning this be-fore they take definite action.

The SCEP budget was ap-proved at $1000. Don Wilson outlined his budget and stated his proposals for the committee.

Democrats club.

Webb: Yearbook is incomplete To the Editor:

Such superb photography and excellent layout and design as the Campanile displayed must be complimented; tha t was truly well done.

It" was also very refreshing to see some of the often under-played aspects of campus life portrayed—such an effor t must be described as a genuine ef for t at making the Campanile more representative of Rice students and their activities.

Unfortunately, the editors devoted too much time to being graphically exciting and to be-ing aware of these less-pub-

licized events of campus life. Excellent photography is to be commended, but excellent pho-tography can also (with per-haps a little more effor t ) be found of the Rice community as it really is: pepole, students and teachers, living, working and playing together. Rooftops and trees provide nice photographic textures but fo r the money I paid, I'd rather see the faces of my friends. Perhaps the all-but-defunct Janus is the place for a photo gallery.

Whether the editors wish to acknowledge it or not, the Rev-olution has not so" swept up the

Wiess modernizes open house Afte r a careful study by an

appointed committee, the Wiess College Cabinet adopted a new set of open house rules designed to place greater emphasis on individual responsibility. The new rules were overwhelmingly approved by a college referen-dum and became effective im-mediately.

The new rules consist mainly of the old rules with various passages deleted or altered. Registration of all female guests on a sign-in sheet is still required, but guests are now f ree to visit any of the rooms ra ther than jus t the rooms into which they have signed. College members are now left to their own responsibility, and at-tempts at pseudo-pENfental fe'up-c

ervision such as checking of the rooms and restrictions requiring unlocked doors and lights on are no longer required.

Similarly, a rule requiring a sign on the door of the host is now an optional convenience. Female guests are f ree to come and go in the college as long-as they are there within open house hours. Finally, the Wiess College Court was given greater discretion in assessing penal-ties for rules violations. These few simple changes were made with the conviction tha t college students are responsible for and capable of supervising their own actions, and tha t it is not the function of college^govern-ment to a t tempt to dictate strict social guidelines.

Rice student body that all else is forgotten. Abou 110 partici-pate in major intercollegiate athletics and nearly half of the male students enter in-t ramural contests. Large social events are less popular, but still command enough atendance and interest to be. "large" and to provide events and incidents for remembrances. And strangely enough, the major portion of student life at Rice was en-tirely missing: a f t e r all, some-one must have gone to classes and studied some interesting topics under some interesting-professors, who shall forever be inde'ntified merely at " left of crab."

Pei'haps the basic philosophy of the yearbook is not agreed upon, but my own idea sees it as a bound (and hence, pre-servable and permanent) col-lection of those things which made the school year what i t was. Rondelet is Rondelet, but it 's not: the people and places are different (amazingly, the beer-bike race, which is prob-ably less changing than even the parties, received lots of cov-erage). Football is football, but it 's not: in 1968 we didn't win a game.

Certainly the personal preju-dices of the editor must be al-lowed some f ree rein, but a f t e r all, the book is not the culmi-nation of his work only. Our money paid for it.

Will withdrawal amount to Red green light? Lin Piao, in his now famous

theory dividing the globe into " the cities of the world" and "the rura l areas of the world" maintains tha t the Third World is the sof t underbelly of the capitalist nations. The grand strategy of the Maoists is the subversion of these rural areas thereby surrounding the city nations ("In a sense, the con-temporary world revolution also presents a picture of the en-circlement of cities by the rural areas.") This argument is ter-ribly naive, yet it is attempt-ing- to find its justification in Southeast Asia.

volutions" are the means to this end of revolutionary con-quest. Mao Tse-tung takes a particularly sanguine p o w e r politics position, "The seizure of power by armed force, the settlement of the issue by war, is the central task and the highest form of revolution. This Marxist-Leninist principle holds good universally." _

Mao has three times embark-ed upon major military exploits of aggression. Calling the West and his own former benefactor paper tigers, he has tested his borders with Korea, India, and the Soviet Union. Now Mao seeks Southeast Asia as a sphere of influence. The fu ture is foreboding for the indepen-dent nations of Asia if China should ever recover f rom the debilitating experience of the " G r e a t Cultural Revolution" and quit the insane border war with the Soviet Union.

Today there are the South Vietnam insurgency and the Laotian struggle (which inci-dently is supported by 20,000

Chinese troops and 40-60,000 North Vietnamese regulars) . If the wrong side should master South Vietnam and thus the Mekong River, the only possible way the independent nations of this region who have already opted fo r independent destinies could be protected f rom out-right aggression short of nu-clear war would be a perman-ent American army in the re-gion, a la Germany, which is certainly an unacceptable altei'-native.

As the heads of state of Thailand, Cambodia (yes, even Prince Sihanouk), the Philli-pines, Indonesia, Malaya, Sing-apore, South Korea, Australia nd New Zealand have told Washington, t h e precipitate withdrawal of American mili-tary inflence f rom Asia would amount to nothing less than a green light for overt conquest of f ree and independent na-tions.

What American leader could accept responsibility for the be-

trayal of so many million of people ? Unfortunately t h e r e are a great many Americans molded f rom the same stuff as was Neville Chamberlain who would rather have "peace in our t ime" than f ight for in-tegrity. I t seems that this country has the false impres-sion tha t God is on the other side if a war takes longer than four years to win.

Regardless of the h o l l o w arguments blaming Vietnam for everything from inflation (see The B u s i n e s s C y c l e in a Changing World by Arthur F. Burns where a good answer to this accusation is given) to poverty, there is little that can be done to deter final victory for Saigon. By the time of the 1972 elections, everyone but about 150,000 support troops will be home in the States and American casualties will be practically insignificant. Saigon will be f ighting its own war and winning.

Student loan bill held in Congress

WASHINGTON — (CPS)— A Congressional deadlock still is preventing enactment of the "emergency" insured student loan bill. The bill would give lenders an allowance of up to 3 per cent above the interest rate of 7 per cent tha t is allow-ed on the insured loans. *

The bill was drawn up when the prime interest ra te rose to 8V2 per cent this year. I t was feared banks would not make loans to students because they would lose money on the 7 per cent insured interest limit.

The Congressional snag in a Senate-House conference com-mittee has been over whether a lender could require a bor-rower to do business with his lending agency in order to re-ceive a loan. House conferences charged the provision would make the program unworkable.

. Despite the delay in passage, the U. S. Office of Education says the volume of loans re-mains high. In August $155 million was committed by lend-ei-s for the loans, as compared to $'133 million in August, 1968.

Final Congressional approval of the emergency bill is ex-pected shortly.

Hours for the show are from 10 am to 6 pm daily and until 10 pm on Thursdays.

Warhol's random rummaging runs counter to the usual practice of assembling large shows f rom particular "schools" or periods.

"Andy Warhol consented to go underground in Providence, and to cast his non-curatorial eye upon objects that had been scorned and forgotten fo r de-cades," David Bourdon, a life magazine writer and Warhol biographer says in the show catalog. "By resurrecting some of the cultural cast-offs, 'Raid the Icebox' restores some of the cultural fabric of the past, seen now in a f resh perspective through the contemporary eyes of Warhol."

'Summertree' is city's best drama There's a war in. But it is

not simply the war across the Pacific. I t is a war in your home between you and your parents, and the argument of this war is that there are bet-ter Avays to express one's humanity than participating in mutual mass murder.

Playwright Ron Cowen has frozen one battle in this war of sons and fathers and named it "Summertree." The action of the play concerns relationships between archetypes: the charac-ters are nameless, identified by role only; their lines are lines we have all heard or spoken or expected in our own familiar skirmishes. But these charac-ters and their lines to which we are accustomed acquire a new and frightening signific-ance in the broken chronology of the play's action. Through continual flash-backs and flash-forwards, Cowen presents the

viewer with the multiple as-pects and results of a young man's conflict between himself and his parent 's expectations. The audience must consider each familial episode in the light of the Young Man's event-ual death in the war. The em-otional effect is overpowering.

This particular production of "Summertree" under the di-rection of Roger Glade is the stablest show yet in the cur-rent season of Playwright's Showcase. The cast is uniform-ly excellent, with Clark B. Read and Joan Fox as the Father and Mother, Constance McCorkle as the Girl, and Ray Simpson as the Soldier. Parti-cularly outstanding are the performances of Stuart Papa-vassiliou as the Boy and Rice graduate Bill Blanton as the Young Man. Blanton reveals an unexpected versatility as he more than ably handles the

Informal poll: mixed reactions Campanile 1969 is an esthetic

and moral coup; it is an artistic unity which derives its impact f rom both its visual stimulus and its uncompromising state-ment about the Rice community and the world "beyond the hed-ges." Because, as Editor Gary Grether says, the book deals withwith the subjective experi-ence of the year 1969 at Rice, the reactions to the book have been many and varied.

The artistic validity of the book is above question; howev-er,, since personal concepts of Rice and the university experi-ence differ, Campanile '69 has been submerged in a" maelstrom of controversies. The following statements are the result of a thir ty minute poll in the RMC.

Brown College girl, '72 — "I was totally unimpressed with the whole thing. There was no-thing you could look back on. I resented the emphasis on on things which have no mean-ing for the compus community. There was little coverage of Rondelet or the faculty."

Susie Clary, '71 — "The 1969 Campanile is an e s t h e t i c triumph which takes cognizance to the subjectivity of the col-lege experience and the chang-ing nature of the university community and it 's atitudes."

Kathleen Williamson, '71 — "I believe that it will be as generated and venered as the 1925 Campanile is today."

The play, a modern treatment of the ancient story of Orestes and Agammemnon, will add a new dimension to the Jones Theater. Unlike previous plays staged in Jones Commons, "The Prodigal" will be presented on an arena stage.

Director Angel Silva com-pares the treatment of the Greek myth in the play with that in the "Lion in Winter," which the Rice Players staged last year.

The cast includes S t e v e Evans as Agammemnon; Ed Robson as Orestes; Martha Gipson as Clytemrestra; Becky Greene as Electra; Frank Har-desty as Pylades-; Linda Brooks as Cassandra; Julie Giamelloni as Penelope; Kur t Lang as Aegisthus; and Nancy Vickrey as Praxithia.

variety of situations which con-front the Young Man. Stuar t Papavassiliou lends the show his vc ry natural stage presence, a rarity in an abundance of "contrived" child actors.

Glade's direction is superb. To enhance the play's broken chronology and to overcome the play's basically static set, Glade has, with the help of Louis Bartolomeo and Edward Hud-dell, put together a series of slide projections that shift with the shifting scenes of the play. Throughout the play there is the energy and smoothness of tran-sition characteristic of Glade's direction.

"Summertree" is possibly the best, and certainly the most im-portant, piece of theater cur-rently showing in Houston. Go see it, and if you have the chance, take your parents. In response to popular demand, "Summertree" will be held over, running Friday and Saturday evenings of consecutive week-ends through November 8. Cur-tain time is 9 pm.

Chicago radical gathering: another perspective By GEORGIA TRAVIS

The RYM II meeting in Chi-cago October 8-11 was clearly held to "counterpose" the Wea-therman action which took place in Chicago at the same time. In fact, an action in Chicago to protest the war and the tr ial of The Conspiracy had been plan-ned by SDS before the split be-tween RYM II and Weatherman factions occurred. As these two sections polarize, rivalry be-tween them becomes a major theme of talk and action within SDS.

The most important distinc-tion made by RYM II leaders between "their side" and the Weatherman is not tactical, but ideological. RYM II, in theory if not in action, is as violent as the Weatherman. "We love rev-olutionary violence!" was old-timer Mike Klonsky's reply to a RYM II "brother" who de-nounced the Weatherman's vio-lent tactics during one of RYM II's evening bull sessions in Chi-cago thsi month. RYM II eon-tends that generalized violence now is suicidal and self-defeat-ing; within RYM II there is identification with the Weath-erman. but a feeling that their efforts are misguided because badly timed. The Weatherman believes that the hour for vio-lent revolution is at hand.

The more salient point in con-tention between the two factions in SDS is the class analysis of revolution: the Weatherman is

making revolution in the class interest of its members, white middle-class students. RYM II is seeking to form a coalition of revolutionary i n t e r e s t groups: Black Panthers, the Puerto Rican Young Lords, and white workers are being invited-exhorted to join with white youth to throw off the common oppressor, the bourgeoisie.

Whether RYM IPs efforts at coalition are successful so f a r is dubious. In Chicago (at least) their ties with the Panthers and the Young Loi'ds are strong. But the rally at the Internation-al Harvester plant called by RYM II during the Chicago ac-tion gave the impression that the youthful revolutionaries are failing to convince workers of their Marxist-Leninist anal-ysis of American society. Inter-national Harvester has been making plans to move its plant f rom a r t -ially mixed Chicago neighborhood to an all-white community sixty miles away.

In the last union contract, the clause that insured workers pri-ority in gaining employment with maintenance of seniority at other Harvester plants in case c ' shutdown was deleted. The workers a t the present plant—many of them black — are thus threatened with losing their jobs, and union benefits as well. Radicals have been working at the factory to arouse a sense of class-consciousness in the workers around this is-sue. It is true that , in the morn-ing of the afternoon rally, the workers walked out of the plant in a wildcat action protesting the union-industry agreement and the factory's move. But the workers who spoke at the rally

were definitely not revolution-aries. They were angry and ev-idently feeling militant toward their bosses, but their protest was addressed to the immediate effects of a specific event, not to the oppressiveness of the capitalist system,' although they were aware of their union's racism (all the workers who attended the rally were black) and of the relationship between industry and the war in Viet Nam.

That worker-student under-standing was less than com-plete became evident when one of the workers grabbed the mic-rophone and asked for a show of support for Martin Luther King. The radicals were hard pressed; those siting near the speaker stood without enthusi-asm as he sang "Y,?e Shall Ov-ercome" to a disn ; yed crowd.

SDS, in its RYU II faction, is digging in for a long f ight for revolutionary change, while the Weatherman pursues a ro-mantic ideal of violent revolu-tion (since nearly 150 of about 200 Weathermen were jailed in Chicago, their activities are at least temporarily curtailed).

More realistic radicals are be-ginning, within RYM II, the Panthers, the Young Lords, to build the mass support neces-sary for overthrow of the pres-ent system through "serve the people" programs such as free food programs for schoolchil-dren (Panthers), day care cen-ters (Young Lords), and organi-zation of oppressed people— high school students, hospital and factory workers—around

the immediate problems of their lives (RYM II).

The hope is that contacts formed through such activity will lead target groups to iden-tification with the goals of the revolutionaries. The question is: will the radicals succeed in pop-ularizing their Marxist-Lenin-ist ideology before they are morally defeated, and go the Weatherman way of expressing personal and political frustra-tion through violence that only alienates and gives rise to vio-lent oppression.

ANALYST

This is not going to be a very nice column. I t will probably step on a lot of toes. But the time to be nice ended with the junior-high tactics employed by the Rice football team Saturday night against SMU.

For the Owls' f i rs t three games, Bo Hagan called every offensive play from the side-lines using messenger substi-tutes. This procedure has been employed at just about every level of football competition, and its effectiveness has been questioned wherever it has been used. Stahle Vincent defended the procedure last week, saying that it kept the offense from losing confidence in him after a bad call. That's reasonable; it 's difficult to lose something which never existed, and the procedure is guaranteed to build exactly zero confidence in the puppet quarterbacks. If any confidence is lost because of bad calls, it will be confidence lost in the coaches who call the plays; after last year a loss of confidence in the coaches is add-ing insult to injury.

Against SMU a difference was apparent from the start . The Owls, for the f i rs t time this year, ran a whole series of plays with the same eleven peo-ple. Perhaps Bo was waking up and letting his quarterback take charge. But wait, why were the Rice coaches dancing around as though they had ants in their pants? Could it be—yes it was —they were sending plays to the huddle by hand signals a la third-base coach.

This procedure raised several questions. I t is of questionable legality. There is a rule against coaching from the sidelines. It is seldom enforced because it is nebulously worded and be-cause practically everyone vio-lates it to some extent. Though the letter of the law may be imprecise, the spirit is certain-ly well-defined. College football is a game to be played by stu-dent-athletes, with a minimum of interference from outside the lines. The NCAA Rules Com-mittee, in a statement on foot-ball ethics, voiced its opposi-tion in principle to such tactics as were employed by Hagan

Saturday night. UCLA had a game protested a few years back when the Bruins attempt-ed to use a similar system of signals.

The reason why UCLA re-ceived considerable publicity for doing what Rice did in anon-ymity is that the the Bruins won their game, while the Owls failed miserbly. Which poses the question of whether Hagan's stunt really helped the Owls. College football is a cutthroat business, and as long as every-one else bends the rules, it may make sense from a prag-matic point of view to do the same—provided that it creates some advantage.

Military planners evaluate a combat communications system in terms of three factors—re-liability, security, and speed, in about that order of importance. The question of this system's reliability may be answered by noting, as have reliable sources, that quarterbacks Vincent and Wood had so much trouble read-ing the signs that they had to enlist other members of the of-fensive unit to help them figure

An open letter to Bo Hagan Dear Coach Hagan:

As avid followers of Rice football for a number of years, we find ourselves some"^hat dis-satisfied with your perform-ance as head coach at Rice. Among some of your shortcom-ings — you have yet to win any game on the road, you can claim only two conference vic-tories in three years as head coach, and your record of 5-18-1 makes you one of the losing-est coaches in major college football.

Therefore, we wonder if you might publicly clarify a few questions that come to the minds of interested spectators. Please be assured that ours is not an attempt to undermine the Rice effor t ; rather, it is our fondest hope that some of these issues might cause sufficient introspection on your part to effect an improvement in the Rice program.

Possibly the weakest part of Rice football, now that you have deleted the ludicrously anti-quated 6-2 defense, is your of-fensive system. While the sprint-out worked well in your quarterbacking days, modern defenses have relegated it to a potent high-school weapon at best. In fact, Gil Bartosh, your galloping ghost play caller, has deprived the offense of any po-tential effectiveness by his re-fusal to accept the now proven forward pass.

Hasn't the loss of two top-flight quarterbacks in as many seasons taught you the folly of allowing the defenses to key on the quarterback keeper. Your present starting quarter-back, Stahle Vincent, has pro-ven himself an adequate passer in spite of your blatant refusal to mix plays intelligently. In addition you all but ignore your

besj; passing quarterback, Mike Kramer, reserving him for a desperation effort near the end of another hopeless defeat.

We remind you that four of your five wins came without the services of your first string quarterback, as Robert Hailey replaced the injured Robby Shelton. Despite costly lessons of the past, you still seem to prefer lateral motion to for-ward progress.

The question of o f f e n s e brings us to your offensive line. I t is no secret among your players that the bantam weights used here are woefully in-effective. A look at the second team shows us that the prob-lem here is not one of person-nel. We wonder if the average Rice fan realizes that your of-fensive line coach does not allow players to go one-on-one for the starting slot. However, this tactic, used at every other school in the Southwest Con-fei-ence, wouldn't allow much room for playing favorites, would it?

Several spectators at last week's Rice-SMU fiasco were amused at the sight of one of your linemen sidestepping his man and sprinting forty yards to the showers only to find out that the game wasn't over. So what, the game was lost any-way; perhaps with attitudes such as those, it was over be-fore it began.

Two weeks ago Blackie Sher-rod in the Dallas Times Herald suggested that Rice practice the fa i r catch. I t seems that of twenty-one attempts at a return Rice safetymen have an ev-erage of minus eight yards. He mercifully omitted the number of punts fumbled and lost, all seven of them. Are you even

aware that a m o n g y o u r "snakes" whom you do not even suit up, is the second leading punt returner of the 1967 SWC season? The man is Ronnie Sol-lock, who never lost a fumble, had the second leading average (next to Larry Alford-an all-American), and tied for the sec-ond longest return of the sea-son with two fif ty-four yard-ers.

Another example is Butch Robinson, the leading kickoff returner in the SWC last sea-son. Although Butch plays ex-cellent football at defensive end, does this preclude his helping out at returns ? How about Cliff Crabtree, who was the SWC's leading rusher this season until you saw fi t to allow him only one carry against LSU. We wonder if even the Dallas Cow-boys could afford to bench talent in the fashion to which you have been accustomed.

Football fans throughout the Southwest Conference laughed with disbelief at your criterion for f i rs t string ability as quoted in "Texas Football" last year. As we recall it, you were quoted as saying that you placed greatest emphasis on a player's manners and on whether or not he was the type "you'd like your daughter to bring home to Sunday dinner." Ability ranked second according to the article. Hopefully, none of the winning coaches in the Confer-ence read this mockery. In closing, may we suggest that you might be wise to let your daughter take over coaching completely.

out what they were supposed to do.

Not So Secret

The security of the system is also suspect. SMU linebacker Brace Portillo probably has a sore neck from looking over his shoulder to see the signals coming in from the Rice bench. This not to say that he was definitely stealing signs (al-though on several occasions he made outstanding plays by be-ing in places that the situation didn't really dictate that he should be), but it is true that he kept trying all night, and Hayden Fry is too bright to have let him stay with some-thing that wasn't working. The signals were indeed capable of being intercepted. Sitting in the stands, we were able to pick up the signal for the draw; con-sidering the inordinate number of times the draw was run (five times in one stretch of six se-ries), knowledge of that signal alone could be crucial. Since re-liable sources also report that the Owls are not equipped with an adequate checkoff or auto-matic procedure, sign-stealing by the defense would just about ruin the offense. With SMIT playing a guess-and-gamble de-fense, it should have been ob-vious that to have given them any knowledge of the upcoming play would have been sheer idi-ocy.

Granted, it may be faster to flash signals from the bench than to" have an uprepared quarterback hunt in the dark for a play to call. But it would seem that a better way would be adequate preparation of the quartei-back to execute the game plan, if only the coaching staff would take the time to teach him. Considering some of the asinine calls of the past few games, it would seem that no quarterback could do worse.

Long line

This particular junior-high-school stunt, senseless as it ap-parently was, could have been

more easily excused were it not just the last in a long line of blunders in offensive planning. The biggest offensive asset is the depth of quality receivers, and the pass plays don't look too bad, either on the black-board or on the field; but thanks to Bo (or perhaps more properly thanks to Gil Bartosh) the Owls haven't thrown the ball enough for any-body to notice. The running-game features plays which de-velop slowly and without R e -ception. To create deception re-quires running several plays off the same series, or off similar backfield action. Instead the Owls try to run single-wing style by moving everybody to the hole and slugging it out with the defense. Watch the Rice fullback—he will take you to the ball about 85c/o of the time. Unfortunately he takes opposing linebackers to the ball with about the same frequency.

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this Saturday's battle is that Texas, which is probably the only team in the conference with the personnel to play pow-er football, lives instead by the triple option, whose heart and soul is deception; while Rice, which certainly doesn't have overpowering offensive person-nel, tries to move the ball by blowing the defense off the field.

Answers ?

As stated above, this is not a very nice column, and it will almost certainly be received coldly by the football coaches. Would that their comments and retorts could be brought out from behind closed doors. All this has been a bit one-sided, and they deseive a chance to reply to it. Rice students, Rice alumni, Rice fans, and most im-portantly Rice football players —who have been working their asses off with nothing to show for it but embarrasement at last week's tomfoolery—deserve to know just what is going on and why.

Brick Pig to meet Jets for crown

By J E F F MYERS

Monday's Brand X u p s e t Wednesday's Brick Pig 14-12 to gain one spot in the intra-murals football finals. Thurs-day league's New York Jets easily handled Friday's Fags, 26-6, to clinch the other spot.

The Pig led 6-0 at the half on Gary Wendell's TD run. Zan Guerry caught a touchdown pass for the Brick Pig' in the second half, but Brand X's Don Brogna threw scoring strikes to Lou Hancock and Karl Bay-er while the defense added the difference with a safety.

Dudley Van Court t h r e w three touchdown passes includ-ing two to Joe Pratt , and ran for another as the undefeated Jets continued their domina-tion. Mike Estep scored the sole TD for the Fags on a Joe Minis pass.

The championship game will

be this Monday, 4:30 pm on the intramural field between the tennis courts and the gvm.

The Geojocks won the grad division and a barbeque dinner with a 20-0 whitewash over the Annihilation Operators.

The freshman league ended in a three-way tie with the-Lovett Frosh, TMDD, and the Diablos sharing top honors. A playoff is to be arranged at a later date.

In intramural tennis singles. Blue League champion Elliott Malach meets Gi-ay champ Bob Mendehlson in the finals. Mike Venson and Larry Yaeger won the doubles with a 6-0 rec-ord.

Mack's Sexys lead the wom-en's volleyball loop with a 3-0 record, the only unblemished mark. Two rounds remain in regular league play.


Arizona State U. editor fired over censorship dispute TEMPE, Arizona—(CPS)

The editor of the Arizona (Sta te Universi ty) S ta te Press was f i red Sa turday by a facul-ty-dominated board of s tudent publications, and f ive of the paper ' s senior editors have re-signed in protes t in a continu-ing dispute over censorship of the paper by the school's Jour-nalism Depar tment .

The dispute centers on a dis-agreement over the na tu re and role of the Sta te Press . The paper ' s editor and Student Gov-ernment—which pu ts up $29,000 a year fo r the paper 's budget, say tha t it is a s tudent news-paper, s t a f fed and wri ten f o r the students of Arizona Sta te University.

the paper 's official advisor, Rob-e r t Lance, contend t h a t the pa-per is a workshop conducted by the Journalism Depar tment fo r their students ' t ra ining.

The issue came to a head a week ago as Brown and Lance sought to keep out any editori-al comment on a local issue and imposed censorship on the pa-per. The two were a t tempt ing to stop editorial comment on Arizona Publisher Eugene Pul-liam's recent announcement of a decision to ba r all advert ising or announcements of either X-rated or non-rated movies f rom his Arizona Republic, the state 's largest newspaper.

The Sta te Press was quick to note, in a column by S ta f fe r La r ry Nelson, the continuing

presence of advertising f o r such non-i'ated movies as "The Odd Couple" and "Funny Girl." A call by Nelson to another of Pulliam's newspapers in In-dianapolis revealed t h a t the pol-icy was a local one and brought a charge by the Indianapolis source tha t Pulliam's move was nothing more than local politics.

To the State Press the Pul-liam ban appeared related to the resignation of the head of the local char ter government f rom his job with the Fox chain of theaters over their importation

SERVICE FIRST

dent Government passed a reso-lution of support fo r Ross and his s t a f f , but the facul ty stood against them.

The students are now at -tempt ing to recall their s tudent f ee money allocated earlier to the Sta te Press. Ross says sen-t iment is building fo r organiza-tion of a more clearly "s tudent" newspaper.

An a t tempt last year to achieve a t least par i ty with the facul ty on the Board of Stu-dent Publications failed in the face of strong opposition f rom Brown. Students now may hold fou r of the nine seats of the board. But the withdrawal f r om school of one student mem-ber has lef t students more un-derrepresented than ever.

Ross has the help of two a t -torneys who intend to help him appeal within the university f r o m the board's decision. They plan to take the case to court, if they have to. The Journal ism Depar tment plans to put out a t least one paper this week, and t h e board will seek applications f o r a new editor to replace Ross —unless Ross's dismissal is ov-er turned by the university.

curately everything they see,

hear, or read. Whether in busi-

ness, at social functions or even

in casual convei*sations with

new acquaintances, there are

ways in which you can domi-

nate each situation by your

ability to remember.

To acquaint the readers of this paper with the easy-to-follow rules for developing skill in remembei'ing anything you choose to remember, the pub-lishers have printed ful l details of their self- training method in a new booklet, "Adventures in Memory," which will be mailed f r ee to anyone who requests it .
