Hall presidents won't buck Trustees

No confrontationThe Hall P residen ts’ Council in a meeting last night voted not to back any open co n fro n ta tio n a g a in s t the T ru s te e ’s decision on hall parietals. The meeting, held a t six o ’clock in St. E d ’s Chapel, turned out to be the longest in the organization’s history.

The presidents debated their response to the T rustee’s decision with the Student Body P residen t John B arkett and with each other. B arkett himself, pened the discussion by referring to a le tte r he w rote to the hall presidents, suggesting tha t the parietals issue be dropped.

In opening, B arkett resta ted tha t he was “ tired of the parie tal issue” and that tim e should be spent on “ m ore im portant things.” He also expressed confidence that th Trustees would allow halls to determ ine their own parie ta ls some tim e in the near future.

B arkett reem phasized how im pressed he was with w hat he called “earnestness” an d “ re c e p tiv e n e s s ” he th o u g h t th e Trustees showed in his recent m eeting with them . He cited their acceptance of the professional study of cam pus life as an indication of their concern.

According to Howard Hall president, Bob Ryan, “The people in Howard are tired of hearing strictly about parie tals

Keenan Hall president, Dave Coring argued tha t the parie ta l question was still an im portant one and called for strong action. “ I believe that there is a need for confrontation.

Claiming he was the victim of “ rac is t” hiring policies in not being considered for an ad ­m in istrative position a t Notre D am e , G eoffrey ch a lle n g ed Hesburgh to nam e one person a t ND with better credentials and a better perform ance record than himself.

Geoffrey, who claim s credit for H arvard ’s 1965 hiring of a Black assistan t dean, said, “ I think Hesburgh should be properly asham ed of the m iserable bigotry that has prevailed under his mose and through his blessings; w hat I find repulsive is that such a m an heads the U.S. Civil Rights Commission.

SMC hall question postponed once again

by Sue PrendergastT he SMC S tu d en t A ffa irs

Council in a closed mteeting decided yesterday to postpone voting on the hall autonomy proposal for a t least two weeks so th a t , a c co rd in g to council m e m b e r J e a n S eym our, its m e m b e rs can “ re s e a rc h the m a tte r th o ro u g h ly an d fo rm opinions.”

The Bill, originally proposed by S tu d en t A ssem bly m e m b ers D arlene Gallena, G ary Caruso, and M ary Kay Tobin had been passed by the Student Assembly and Student Affaiirs Committee before appearing on the Council Agenda this week.

The proposal, if passed would allow each hall to determ ine its own p o lic ie s , in c lu d in g “ th e form ulation and jurisdiction of hall parie ta ls policy.”

Jean Seymour mem ber of SMC Student Affairs Council.

According to Miss Seymour, Miss Gallina, who pasented the proposal to the Council “did a trem endous job. She argued from th e s ta n d p o in t of the b as ic philosophy of hall autonomy. M iss G allin a a lso an sw e re d questions posed by faculty and a d m in is tra tio n Council m e m ­bers.

Miss Seymour explained what she saw as the reasons for the voting d e lay : “We w ant to see m ore data and have m ore in­form ation so we can m ake an intelligent decision." She con­tended that Council m em bers would especially like “ to see the general basic concepts of what halls would do” if the proposal succeeds.

M iss S eym our d ec lin e d to speculate on the proposal’s future but com m ented on the Council’s a ttitude: “Everyone was very open ; they a sk e d le g itim a te questions. The lines of com ­m unication a re good a t this point.” She added that she felt the fac u lty an d a d m in is tra tio n Council m em bers a re looking for some indication tha t halls will ta k e e ffec tiv e a c tio n in regulating com m unity life.

Selective Service changes draft procedures<c) 1971 New York Times W ashington , Nov. 2 -The

se le c tiv e se rv ic e sy s tem a n ­nounced today the first m ajor overhaul of d raft regulations in four years.None of the new adm inistrative ru le s , in th e m se lv es , m ake anyone m ore or less liable to being drafted.

But they create entirely new procedures that potential d raf­tees must follow in dealing with their d raft boards.

Some of the new regulations, that were published today in the F ederal Register (CAPS) and go into effect in 30 days, m erely clarify changes in the law m ade by Congress this year.

For instance, the law allowed P re s id e n t Nixon to abo lish Student D eferm ents (except for divinity students) for all men who were not in school during the regular 1970-71 academ ic year, and the P resident used this authority. The new regulations specify that, to be eligible for a student deferm ent, a m an m ust have been a full-time student at the end of the 1970-71 school year.

The rules also c reate several new draft classifications and abolish some old ones.

The classification 1-Y, which designated a person not fit for service except in a national em ergency, has been abolished. P erso n s ho ld ing th a t classification will be reclassified 4 F if their disability is a per­m an en t one, such a s poor ey esig h t o r a ch ro n ic knee ailm ent, and 1 A if their disability was a tem porary one, such as a broken leg.

A new classification, 1-H, was

created for men who are not im m ediately susceptible to being drafted. Thus, when a m an reg isters for the d raft a t age 18, he will be classified 1-H because he is liable to being inducted until the calendar year in which his 20th birthday occurs.

Likewise, a m an who has passed his year of eligibility without being drafted because his lottery num ber was too high will be classified 1-H.

B eginning nex t y e a r , th e selective service system will determ ine afte r each lottery drawing the highest conceivable lottery num ber that could be

reached by d raft calls that year. Persons with a num ber higher than this cutoff will also be placed in category 1-H

D raft boards will keep no records other than nam es and a d d re sse d of m en who a re classified 1-H, and the men need not contact their boards except when they change addresses.

Classification 5-A, which ap ­plied to all men over 35 who had

held d e fe rm e n ts , w ill be abolished. D raft boards will now destroy the files of men in this category.

After a m an has had his file destroyed, he will no longer be required to ca rry a d raft card.A new classification, 2-D, will

be e s ta b lish e d for d iv in ity s tu d e n ts and u n d e rg ra d u a te s who have been pre-enrolled in divinity school.

T he N ixon a d m in is tra tio n wanted to abolish all student deferm ents beginning with men who entered school this year, but Congress declared that divinity students should be able to hold deferm ents.

Thus, a m an who stays in divinity school until he is 26 years old will escape the d raft forever, regard less of whether he enters the m inistry.

A c la s s if ic a tio n , 4-G, w as created for men who a re the sole surviving sons of men killed in the m ilitary or whose fathers, sisters o r brothers w ere killed in the line of duty a fte r 1919 or who are prisoners of w ar or m issing in action. Men in this category are exem pt from the draft.

The new regulations m ake several changes in procedures for conscientious objectors. A m an will not be allowed to claim co n sc ie n tio u s o b je c to r s ta tu s until he has received a lottery num ber and then only if his num ber is below the 1-H cut-off. In the past, men w ere advised to apply for conscientious objector sta tus as soon as they registered for the draft.

Casualties in India rise(c) 1971 New York Times

New Delhi, Nov. 2 - The estim ated death toll continued to rise in the cyclone and tidal wave that struck the eastern coast of India aver the weekend, with some officials predicting tha t it m ight reach 20,000 or higher.

The official toll w as listed as m ore than 4,000, but Indian newsmen a t the scene reported that many uncounted bodies w ere still floating in rivers and the sea.

The area struck by the storm on F riday night and Saturday morning - the northern coastline of Orissa S tate on the Bay of Bengal - has a population of about five million, and officials said that most of them were affected.

Seferal hendred thousand houses w ere reported dam aged or destroyed. Railway lines were disrupted, as w ere telephone and telegraph com m unications. Thousands of cattle w ere killed and the dam age to the rice crop was extensive. Officials said tonight tha t the overall carnage could run as high as $400 million.

Sunrise in PakistanSunrise in Pakistan is a grim sort of greeting. The dead sit unburied on

the ground; collecting flies since ther’s no money in Pakistan to bury the dead. The cyclone of All Saint’s day has killed twenty thousand; the A ssociated P ress estim ates another two million m issing. E xcep t that they’re not really m issing; they’re floating down rivers; half-visable; half-subm erged in the filth.

country that’s slipped beyond the periphery of believability and has hence been institutionalized. Babies are ushered softly into existence ther; sleep blissfully through the whole of their one-day existence ther and are ushered softly out.

Y es, that’s the way it is in Pakistan, Sports fans! People hacking at the elem ents and the fates and each other until nothing rem ains on the ground excep t blood and festering human parts. And that’s how it is when the ground greets sunrise in Pakistan.

IIH ere’s how it is at Notre Dame:Colder now, with a wind. Cat Stevens first; then Pitt. We have to worry

about parietals - can’t get caught this weekend.Today the Pakistani relief people are going to collect for their project.

They want a dollar per person; they’re not going to get it; they never get it. E verybody’s busted on W ednesday; besides, didn’t they try to recruit volunteers for their H alloween collection and end up with som ething like nineteen people? Shucks, you knew how it is when it’s collection tim e at Notre Dam e.

Lunch is over. Cat Stevens is com ing up. Who has a buck to spend on Pakistani relief?

I llSunrise in Pakistan has a sort of sick pallor to it. Another day, another

death. Another ten thousand deaths. Ten thousand deaths a day!Num bers of such numbing proportions lack a certain reality. It does no

good to say that the death rate would wipe out South Bend in two weeks. We can’t see a city wiped ou t-c ities don’t fit in our minds

Indians and Pakistanis are dying at a rate of seven a minute. If you’re in the dining hall, the odds are that if the d isease, war, filth and natural disaster of India and Pakistani were distilled and distributed with the more conventional fare you are consum ing, it would wipe out your table in three and a half minutes. If you live in a quad, it would take twenty- eight seconds.

Well, so,there’s a collection to take care of this. Tonight. But you know about collections at Notre Dam e. So they m ight as w ell gird their loins in Pakistan - at lea st as far as Notre D am e goes. B ecause, as far as w e’re concerned, that’s the way it’s going to be the next thousand sunrises in Pakistan.

“The U niversity rules are not intended to force an e th ic a l v iew upon the s tu d e n ts .”

—Re v. T heodore H esb u rgh _

S t e v e L a z a r -

On the Liberation of Women (and of

all other Human Beings )To begin with, let us adopt a profound view of wom an; profound, and

yet so m arvelously s im p le : woman is a childbearer, her body protects and sustains first life, and let us add to this biological view a social one, one tha t is born and nourished by her biological function: woman is a partne r for m an. Let us, too, define m an: m an is the com plim ent of woman, the sower of seed from which first life springs. So too, he is a partn e r for woman.

This is a good definition, and a very true one; but it is a bit too sim plistic for any place other than the G arden of Eden. In fact, its sim plicity is a bit too honest even for there, there w here the most fundam ental prejudice ever devised against woman has been handed down through the generations as if it were the will of the Suprem e Being.

These things we have said now a re true, but this is not the Garden. This is the twentieth century, and there is a difference.

We find that som ewhere in the progress of hum anity from the Garden to the twentieth century, civilization was slowly developed from its crude beginnings. Strangely, however, this form ation of civilization was the work of m an alone. W om an-left to re a r her children and refurnish the ego of her husband-w as excluded. Thus she becam e hom em aker and the protected sex. Man becam e breadw inner and protector, and thus socially and psychologically the dominent sex. Her passivity and inferiority reached such symbolic extent tha t she cam e to be regarded as the property of m an, who, when he took her for his m ate, symbolized his ownership of her by im pairing to her his nam e.

We in the W estern world can trace the developm ent of our civilization through the G reeks and Rom ans, the Hebrews and the Europeans. All of these civilizations, a t the tim e they were flourishing, were m ale-dom inated societies. We have m aintained this aspect.

Man, in fulfilling his role as protector and sustainer of the lives of his wife and children, has a t tim es thought it necessary to destroy the lives of o ther men so that he could survive and grow. Woman, as the passive and neutral partne r of m an, was taught to keep her place and accept the benefits of conquest that m an would bring her. This has been the way of hum anity for tens of centuries.

But this is the twentieth century, and civilization has changed. Survival is no longer a m a tte r of the trium ph of m uscular force over a hostile environm ent. The m oral notion of equality has evolved to the extent tha t it is w ritten into the constitutions of nations. Slaves have been set free. But despite all this, the m ale-dom inated society has persisted.

Women a re dem anding that this cycle be broken, and rightfully so. They have seen that the methods of a m ale dom inated economic society include discrim ination against and exploitation of women, furthered by a kind of psychological brainw ashing tha t tra in s them to inhibit the expression of their talents. This type of domination of m an over woman has become im m oral. F or by discrm inating against hum ans because of their sex and by com m ercially exploiting their unigue a ttr ib u te s , men have trea ted women as m ere objects. And by m aintaining tha t women should be passive in all social relations the com m ercialist m ale has sim ply m ade it easie r for women to be m anipullated for his own selfish gain. This is no less than a fun dam ental im m orality. It is an im m orality tha t the m ale dom inated society as a whole m ust bear, ju st as it m ust bear responsibility for its other p roducts-w ars of genocide, espionage, environm ental destruction.

It becomes c learer with each day that the condition of society is in need of change-change of a m oral sort as well a s a social one. And it is evident that such a change will not be accom plished by men alone; women m ust step up to be am ong the leaders. They m ust not only gain their equal rights but m ust also exercise a m oral force superior to the m en who now run the society. Their m oral leadership is urgently needed; their d isappearance into the doldrum s of middle class life— whether it be housewifery or breadw inning-is not needed a t all.

Woman, who is perhaps a m ore m oral c rea tu re than m an because of her closeness to the creation of first life m ust becom e all tha t she can be, and yet m ust refuse to put on the shackles tha t m an has built upon himself. And if she can do this, surely her partne r, m an, will follow, and surely their civilization will change for the better.

the sbp: what he's l what

John B a r k e t t w ro te the f i r s t p a r t o f th is a r t ic le las t spr ing . T h e fo l lo w in g r e p re se n t s the f i r s t p a r t o f the se c o n d part . The seco n d p a r t o f the se c o n d p a r t will be p r in te d la ter . - ed.

Two of the most frequent questions I get asked in my speaking trips back to the halls is what has Student Governm ent been doing, and w hat is the job of the Student Body P resident really like? Since I have not spoken to you all yet this year, I wish to take this op­portunity to answer those questions.

The first question is easy to answ er; though I ’m not sure where to begin and I have to be brief. We have $10,000.00 to give back to the halls, as we said we would last spring. Student Government personnel have been in 15 halls since Freshm an Orientation to speak with students. Orlando Rodriguez, the Vice President, and I have reached eleven halls between us thus far, and I ’m scheduled in four the next two weeks. Senate elections were held a month earlier than last year and the Finance Committee hearings and the Senate m eeting on the budget went quicker and sm oother than anyone can rem em ber. I congratulate Cass Rejent publicly for the incredible am ount of tim e and effort he expended to m ake that happen.

Perhaps the biggest accom plishm ents w ere achieved afte r Bob W eaver, Orlando Rodriguez, and I spoke a t the recent Board of Trustees meeting. Facing a $700,000 deficit this year, the Trustees m ade a com m itm ent to substantial im provem ents in the social facilities, either in the halls, La Fortune, or both. They also com m itted them selves to a survey of student life to help all of us understand better the needs and wants of students here. We a re very excited by both of these achievem ents for we feel they will have an im m ensely positive effect on im ­proving the conditions of student life a t Notre Dame.

“South Bend in a Nutshell” welcomed you to cam pus this year, not only with a w ealth of inform ation, but also with a 59 cent coupon for a free Whopper a t B urger King. Over 3,000 of them were used. We w ere happy to sponsor that publication for your benefit.

Also greeting you was the publication “You’ve Got a F riend” sponsored through our Community Relations Commissioner, Dave Lah. Dave has also been involved in the Juvenile Probation Office, Big Sister, Guidance Counsellor, and Fam ily and Children’s Center P rogram s, am ong others. Might I add, too, tha t the sham rocks for sale a t the football gam es for the United Fund have taken up some of his tim e.

Paul Dziezic, the Ombudsman, has not only organized a very friendly and interested staff, but h e’s also been writing for the Observer on the side. Over 400 phone calls to answ er questions or solve problem s have kept them busy.

Last sem ester, Ed Ellis prom pted the repa ir of the basketball courts behind the bookstore. This year he and his Research and Development crew have been looking through mountains of m ateria l on topics ranging from ecology to coeducational dorm s. The bookstore has also figured into their work, as has a constitution to suit a m erged Student G overnm ent for Notre D am e and St. M ary’s.

F red Giuffrida in Academic Affairs had conducted m ore interviews for m ore com m ittees and councils than I ever knew exisred. Or a t least it seem s tha t way. The result on the questionnaire on academ ics from last spring will be available soon. A report on the pass-fail option is being worked on. Work still m ust be done on the Advisor System here, but the F reshm en Y ear Office has been re ­stim ulated, as we called for last year. Academic grievances is another hazy area , but i t ’s being studied.

Hall Life Commissioner Bob Higgins has been working closely with the Admissions Office to provide rooms for high school seniors visiting here. His com mission also has seen an edition of the interhall new sletter, preparations m ade for a booklet describing each residence hall to give a high school senior som e idea of where he m ay live for his four years a t N otre D am e, and a report on Hall Fellows program s to aid hall governm ents interested in starting such a program .

Off-Campus Commissioner, John Drost made a plea for an off-campus center a t the meeting of the Student Af­fairs Com mittee of the Board of Trustees and though Its fate has not yet been decided, John and Co. have prepared two off-campus new sletters and a housing evaluation survey to elim inate substandard residences from the housing lists. They have also finalized the legal aid program and have m ade plans for “get togethers” for the m arried and transfe r students.

Bill Wilka and Jane Sheehy sit on the Student Affairs Inter-Institutional team for the co-ed unification and both will tell you that meetings never seem to end. Steve Fortunato, Human Affairs Commissioner, is the liason with the International Students Association and was instrum ental in establishing the Dining Hall Commission.Our Judicial Coordinator, Dave Tushar, and his staff

have helped the hall judicial board chairm en establish their boards. Dave him self was involved in organizing the University Board and the Traffic Appeals Board. And F red Schaefer, Public Relations Com missioner, along with his staff, will be m ailing out a new sletter for the foreign student program s soon in addition to their everyday job of press releases.

Quite objectively, I think Bill M cGrath, Student Union D irector and his seem ingly tireless group of com ­m issioners and staff m em bers havean outstanding record thus far. You, of course, can judge better than I but I feel the concerts, the speakers, the cultural events and the student services have all been excellent. M ight I congratulate Bill and his wife, Debbie, too, on their transition to parenthood in F ebruary . She’s expecting a baby (girl).

Bob W eaver has the title of Executive Coordinator which m eans he does everything everybody else doesn’t do. Bob is concentrating on security righ t now. The Advisory Board we pushed for has been approved and he will be sitting on it. The Day Care Center will not long be forgotten by him, he has put so m any hours into it. Most of all, Bob has served as a close advisor and a closer friend, and I cherish both.

Orlando Rodriguez, our Vice P resident, has been in­volved in budget hearings, m inority students, the Charity Chest, the Hall Life Com mittee Report of the Student Life Council, all sorts of com m ittees and innum erable m eetings. He is an am azing young m an, and I don’t know how I would have survived the past six m onths w ithout his help and friendship.

There is a list of men and women whose nam es I have neither tim e nor space to mention. They a re the people who give up hours to work in the various a re as I have described above and below. They get little or no publicity ; only the satisfaction any service to o thers and for others can give. P lease accept these w ords as a portion of the recognition you deserve.

That leaves me. InPIRG , the Day Care Center, the V oter’s R egistration Drive, and the Charity Basketball Benefit (to be held Nov. 22) all owe the ir existence to my involvement in one way or another. Throw in, too, the Student Life Council, the Student Senate, the F inance Com mittee, the Student Affairs Com m ittee, the Student Union Board of D irectors, the Election Com m ittee, and countless m eetings on all im aginable topics and problem s. But more on all this tomorrow. This glim pse will suffice for now.

What does the future hold? Much of our tim e will be spent in refining some of the program s listed above. Co­education with all its im plications particu larly in the housing area will continue to receive attention. E m ­phasizing the minority student and off-campus student further, pushing for a drug trea tm en t cen ter and working on the Student Life Council a re o thers on the horizon. We plan to continue our cooperative efforts with the Hall P residents. And I think w e’ll all see a m ajor ad ­vancem ent in im proving the social life here. There is so m uch yet to be done, I think I ’ll end with these brief in­sights.

This is a skim py survey, I adm it, but I hope it answ ers sufficiently the first question. If anyone would life further elaboration on anything I have m entioned, please see the person involved. They a re all working to serve you anyway.

Tomorrow, I will answ er the second question. The experience of the job is the only rea l answ er, but I will do my best to help you pass over into my position to better understand the branded life I lead.

being alive, being human, responding

R arely in history have a people gone through the sheer m alfortunes as those suffered by millions of E ast Pakistanis in a short half year. Ten million refugees have been driven into a sub-existence of hunger, hom elessness, disease and fear along the

rugged frontier of Ind ia’s hills.Those who have survived this far - last

y ea r’s cyclone and tidal wave, the sum m er war, the cholera epidemic, and, finally, last w eekend’s second cyclone and tidal wave - face the monsoon storm s with nothing between them and the pelting rain and cruel wind but flimsy canvass- covered shelters.

The Times of London has w arned that up to four million people inside E ast P akistan m ay die within the coming months unless em ergency food, relief and reconstruction m easures a re put into effect. This is not to mention the more than ten million refugees outside the country. Each day that group grows by another thirty to forty thousand. And each day, m ore than ten thousand of these die, according to Senator Kennedy.

The above figures can be considered numbing. There m ight be a relationship between the am ount of suffering incurred and the degree of one’s response to that suffering. If there is this relationship, a corollary may be added - nam ely that above a certain level of suffering, the only response is paralysis. Just as in the physical sciences, above a certain level of sound, there is silence.

Or m aybe you already knew this.And yet one of the prim ary ch a rac­

teristics of a hum an being, a t least as the term ‘hum an’ was understood prior to Auschwitz and Hiroshima, was his ability

to respond to the suffering of his brothers and sisters. To respond effectively. It was a natural p art of the hum an creature.

Last weekend, seven hundred to a thousand people w ere expected to go trick- or-treating on behalf of their stricken and suffering brothers and sisters in E ast Pakistan . Twenty people showed up.

Also last weekend, coincidentally I suppose, sixteen-foot tidal w aves sm ashed into a thousand square mile area in the very heavily populated sta te of Cuttack just southwest of Calcutta. Another five million people were m ade homeless. Maybe twenty thousand w ere killed.

I seem to have returned to those num ­bing fugures. Maybe I ’m getting self- righteous, too. After all, I was not am ong those twenty people. But it seem s to me that the failure of the people of this cam pus, not to mention the people of the country a t large, to respond to the suf­fering of the people of Bengal m ust imply that the people of this cam pus cannot be classified as hum an’. Especially when you are being asked to m ake such a sm all response - one dollar.

But I ’m not sure about this. To imply that somebody is not a hum an being is implying a hell of a lot. Besides I ’m dealing in ab s trac t generalities. There must be extenuating curcum stances.

Tonight, between 10:30 and 11:30 in every hall, volunteers will be asking for

money to aid the refugees. These volun­teers will be identified by badges and will h av e a p p ro p r ia te ly la b e le d co llec tio n cans. I hope you a re sufficiently aroused, sufficiently alive to give a little. Thank you.

Door to door fund driveby Andy W iniarczyk, J r .

Students World Concern will conduct a door-to-door cam paign to m o rro w betw een ten and m idnight in each of the halls to raise money for the victim s of both natu ra l d isasters and civil strife in India and E ast Pakistan , according to cam paign chairm an Tom Hamilton.

The SWC has appointed cap- ta insfrom each hall who will be in charge of the drive within their respective halls, Hamilton said. The captains a re scheduled to collect money and dissem inate inform ation, according to the co- chairm an.

S tu d en ts who re s id e off- cam pus m ay turn in their con­tributions a t the Off-Campus office of La Fortune Student Center, Hamilton said.

According to ham ilton, “We hope to raise a t least $10,000. E ach student on the two cam ­puses is capable of giving a do lla r.”

“ I w ant to em phasize the ex­trem e im portance of raising this money in view of two recent developm ents,” he continued.

“On F riday the Senate cut off all foreign aid. This included the money that w as going to be used for em ergency relief aid for the refugees in India and Bangla Desh..

“The situation was further co m p lic a te d on F r id a y and

Saturday when a devastating cyclone hit India about 120 miles from w here the cyclone hit last y e a r . I t o c c u rre d in Bhubanesw ar in the sta te of Cuttack which is ju st off the Bay of Bengal. E stim ates say that between ten thousand to twenty- three thousand people have died. An additional five million have been left hom eless.”

“Senator Edw ard Kennedy, “ com m ented Hamilton, “has

said tha t 4300 refugee children will die every day. And since refugees a re better fed than the other victim s and the children are the best fed of the refugees it is estim ated th a t 10,000 people will die every day .”

Mexican American groups dispute SenatorFour Indiana organization of

M exican A m eric an s , tw o of which a re a t the U niversity of Notre Dame, denounced recent assurances by sta te senator E arl Wilson that Indiana m igrant labor had adequate living con­ditions.

The Midwest Council of La Raza, associated with the In­stitu te for Urban Studies a t Notre D am e , denounced W ilson’s “ a p p a re n tly m a lic io u s e ffo rt against one of the most powerless and defenseless segm ents of

our society.” R icardo P a rra , executive director of the Council, said “ It is incredible how Mr. Wilson reverted to the N ean­derthal age of politics and dared to m a k e such a u th o r i ta tiv e s ta tem en ts afte r having visited only four cam ps.”

Charging that conditions in m igrant cam ps resu lt from In­d iana’s legislation to im prove the plight of the m igran t workers, P a r ra pointed out that tuber­c u lo s is , o cc u p a tio n a l a c c id e n t ra tes and death during childbirth in m igran t cam ps are all over 100 per cent above national average figures.

A sta tem en t from the Chicano s tu d e n ts of N o tre D am e organized in MECHA concluded “we believe tha t Senator Wilson

h as re a c h e d an in a c c u ra te conclusion . T h e re fo re we dem and that he be prepared to receive the evidence from the m igrant com m unities and their rep resen tatives .”

The U nited M exican A m ericans of Indiana called for S en a to r W ilson’s re s ig n a tio n from the M igrant Com m ittee and asked for an apology from the In d ian a S ta te S en a te . The M exican-American Committee said an apology would not repa ir the dam age caused by Senator Wilson’s statem ent, which had induced much apathy among the general public.

“Students World Concern urges all students to w rite le tters to their Senators and Congressmen dem anding tha t the aid to E ast P akistan not only be restored but increased .”

“ The im m ed ia cy of the problem is staggering ,” said Hamilton.

Black Studies program s: two in history, two in Sociology, and one each in Econom ics, Humanities,Governm ent, and English. They will teach courses in history, sociology, political science, and economics. A professor in law m ay possibly teach a Black Studies course in law in the future, according to Scott.

Bowls or no bowls, the ‘71 season will be C rotty’s last a t Notre Dam e, and Mike is still unsure as to his future plans.

“ I ’ve thought about going to graduate school h e re ,” he ad ­m itted, “and m aybe helping with the freshm an team on the side. I ’ve thought about getting into coaching, too, and I ’ve already had offers to coach on the high school level.

“But it’s hard to say just what I ’ll do. If I ’m drafted , or if someone shows an in terest, then I might give pro ball a shot. It would be worth it, anyw ay-just to be able to say tha t I’d tried .”

Irish back in top ten

After a w eek’s absence, Notre Dam e was again ranked in the lop ten by both w ire service polls. The A.P. listed the Irish as the nation’s num ber eight club while the U P .I. rated Notre Dam e ninth.

The polls w ere in agreem ent about the country’s first five team s, putting N ebraska on top, followed by Oklahoma, Michigan, A labam a and Auburn.

The A.P. rated Penn S tate sixth and Georgia seventh but the U P .I. reversed their positions. The two polls also flip-flopped Notre D am e and Ohio State. The Irish finished ahead of the B uckeyes in th e A .P . rankings but Woody H ayes’ boys got the nod for the num ber eight slot from the U P .I. evaluators.

Arizona S tate was rated tenth in both polls, rounding out the top finishers.

by Vic Dorr. ’74If you’re a m em ber of Notre

D am e's defensive backfield, and if you’re playing alongside people nam ed Ellis and Stepaniak, then th e re’s a good chance that you might be overlooked. And if you stand only five feet, nine inches tall, and weigh only 180 lbs., then your chances of being overlooked a re doubled.

That is, unless your nam e is Mike Crotty.

Crotty, a senior from Seattle, Wash., has been a m em ber of the Irish secondary for two seasons now, an d anyone who has overlooked him simply hasn ’t been paying close attention to the gam es.

For Crotty has done nearly e v e ry th in g d u rin g the p as t se v e ra l y e a r s - f r o m p ass defense, to punt and kickoff returns, to shutting off Jim Bertelsen in the ‘71 Cotton Bowl. And this season has already brought m ore of the sam e for the ND safety. In the opening gam e a g a in s t N o rth w e ste rn , C ro tty m ade certain that no one would overlook him, as he stole a pair of M auric Daigneau passes and returned the second one 65 yards lor a touchdown.

More recently, against North Carolina, Crotty disrupted the Tarheel a ir gam e with frequent red-dogging from his safety slot, and he nearly broke the gam e open in the second half by returning a punt 48 yards to the Carolina seven.

But Crotty, who has to be one of Coach Paul Shoults’ g rea test finds, was not always a defensive player. He was a regular a t running back during the ‘69 season, and it was only during the spring of ‘70 that he m ade the switch to defense.

Besides doing a solid defensive job, Mike Crotty has been an exciting punt returner for the Irish this season.

“Well, Paul Shoults asked me if I ’d ever played defense,” said Crotty, “and I said ‘yes ’ Then Tom Pagna asked m e, and I told him ‘yes.’ This was on a Wed­nesday, and they had me listed at safety by the tim e we practiced on Saturday.

“ I ’d played both positions in high school, so it d idn 't really m ake any difference then. But things a re different now. I t ’s an honor to be a t safety now, because we have a real out­

standing defense. We’ve grown up together and w e’ve gone through a lot together. Last year, and the year before, we had Joe (Theism ann)...but this year the defense is the dom inant force.”

And th e d e fen se w as a dominating force during the first five gam es of the season. But then the Irish ran into the Trojans of S ou thern Cal, an d John McKay’s forces scored three tim es on the Notre Dame “D” within the first 20 m inutes of

play. The Irish bounced back last week with a shutout against Navy, but for Crotty and for the rest of the defense, the memory of the USC gam e is still alive.

“ I doubt if we can ever forget it,” said Crotty. “You just don’t forget gam es like that. I still re m e m b e r th e S ou thern Cal gam e from last year, and this y e a r’s gam e was the sam e thing. Everything just went right for them and wrong for us. I t’s not a real good feeling.

“ I ’d have to ra te SC as the best passing team w e’ve faced so i'ar,” he continued, “ because they scored on us three tim es.I E dese l) G arrison has g reat speed, and we w ere beaten when we had to go m an for-man with him on a slippery field. But I d o n ’t th ink S ou thern C a l’s quarterbacks a re the best w e’ve seen th is y e a r . P ro b a b ly D an ie lson (P u rd u e ) and Daigneau (Northwestern) have had the best a rm s .”

As th e I rish seaso n ro lls to w ard s its N ovem ber 20th conclusion in B aton R ouge, speculation continues to grow as to th e p o s s ib il i ty -o r im ­p o s s ib ility -o f a n o th e r m a jo r bowl bid for Notre Dame. Even if the Irish own a once beaten record when the bids a re issued, their chances for a m ajor bowl will be less than ideal, because many of the season’s “showdown gam es” will be taking place afte r the November 20th (6:00 pm) deadline.

“Yes, we know all about th a t,” said Crotty. “ But rem em ber, we w ere 6-1-1 when we got invited to the Cotton Bowl in 1969, and LSU hadn’t lost a gam e then. T hat’s why they don’t have too much love for us. But Notre Dam e is a

The Irish EyewKxxwxti^Phelps digs it at Notre Dame

If Dick “ D igger” Phelps w ere an actor instead of a basketball coach, he’d undoubtedly have played a num ber of s ta rring roles in his youthful career.

Last M arch, in New York City, he could have won an O scar for his portrayal of “The M iracle W orker” afte r leading his unheralded Fordham team , which had lost 15 gam es the year before and had no sta rte rs over 6’5, to a 26-3 record.

Last spring, however, Fordham hoop fans wanted to cast Phelps the lead of “ B randed” or perhaps as Benedict Arnold in a Revolutionary War dram a, afte r he left the Ram s to take over the post left vacant by Johnny Dee a t NotreDam e.

As far as Phelps was concerned, he was playing Horatio Alger, Frank M erriwell, and Knute Rockne all rolled into one, fulfilling a dream by becoming the coach of the Fighting Irish.

Currently, “ D igger” is doing the pilot for a sports show called “ Mission: Im possible.” Mr. P helps’ mission, which he has decided to accept, is to try and win a few basketball gam es with a team tha t has just one letterm an, is abounding with youth and inexperience, and plays such team s as Michigan, UCLA, Kentucky, Villanova, M arquette, South Carolina, and the like.

Despite the problem s confronting him, Phelps is looking forw ard to the coming year and is very enthusiastic about being a t Notre Dame.

“ Notre D am e’s everything people said it w as.” Phelps rem arked yesterday in his office in the ACC. “ I t ’s a g rea t University. I ’ve been very im pressed with the spirit and loyalty of the student body and the enthusiasm and attitude of the ball players. Being here is really something e lse .”

Phelps’ cast of players had the opportunity last yea r to understudy the g rea t a rtis t, Austin C arr, who often turned in m asterful per­form ances. Unfortunately, now that C arr has com pleted his ap ­prenticeship and is with a touring group of p layers in Cleveland, there a re none to take his place.

Digger isn’t moaning though. “The kids a re young and they have alm ost no experience but they’ll give 100 per cent. We’re just starting to put it together, to believe in each other. If everyone contributes his best effort, w e’ll do all r igh t.”

Reflecting on the tough schedule facing his Irish cagers in the months ahead, Phelps rem arked, “To be the best, you’ve got to play the best.”

“We’re going to play some clubs that sould beat us nine out of ten tim es. But everytim e we go out on the court, w e’re going to be figuring that it’s that tenth tim e, that i t’s our night.

The Irish m ake their debut D ecem ber 1, in the ACC, against Michigan and you’ve got to believe Phelps when he says, “We’ll come up with som ething.” It ought to be an interesting show.

Young ND hootersby Lefty Ruschmann ‘73

Go and mention “ football” anyw here outside Am erica and chances a re tha t you’ll hea r all about so ccer-th a t sam e sport which most A m ericans avoid. At Notre Dame, w here football is well, you know all about it-the fans run true to form in regard to soccer, staying away in droves. As Bob Connolly, utility player and m inister of propaganda for I he ND soccer club put it, “ four people a t one our gam es is a real crow d.” Anonymously, the Irish hooters, as they near the season’s end, have to date played eight gam es, winning two and tying one.

The soccer club this year took on a new coach, Rich O’Leary from the Athletic D epartm ent. A lacrosse m an by trade, O’Leary volunteered his services to the Irish h o o te rs , he h as s ince

le a rn e d a g re a t d ea l abou t coaching the gam e and, in return , has provided spirit and leader­ship to his players.

But despite the introduction of a coach to the soccer club, there rem ains the inform ality of club s p o r ts ; people p lay s im p ly because they want to. P ractice schedules rem ain flexible: two hours a day, four tim es a week, with nobody around to count up unexcused practice cuts. Last S unday , for ex a m p le , N o tre Dame suited up only 13 players against Chicago, yet they got away with a 4-3 win.

Behind the inform ality and enjoym ent of the gam e is a great deal of talent on the Notre Dame squad, m ore than their 2-5-1 record would hint at.

One official a t a Notre Dam e contest rem arked, “Your team has a lot of talent out

th e re , i t ju s t h a s n ’t com e together y e t.” Hopes a re high for gluing both offense and defense together next season; returning will be both a junior-dom inated d efen se an d a sophom ore- s tu d d e d o ffense . Only two seniors play on the 40-man squad, captain Rick Coleman and Dick Seryak.

Anchoring the Irish defense a re juniors Bruce G raves and Ken* Bartazol, both of them coming off early-season injuries, soph Mike F a r re l le y , an d ju n io rs Dan Burke, Ed M ascardi, and Bob Ralph.

The offense features a corps of high scoring forw ards, including junior Chris Hanlon and two sophm ores, Kevin Kinally and Bob Donovan. Also a t forw ard is the ex c itin g “ P e rs ia n l in e ,” J a f a r M oghadan an d A m ir Raissi. Co captain Jeff Noonan, aside from providing hustle and spirit, also plays a fine gam e at halfback; he is joined by fifth- year student Mike Macon, grad student G erm an Osario, and freshm an Rick Eichner.

The Irish, now having begun to solve their goalie and injury problem s, have only two gam es rem aining on the schedule, and tough ones a t that. W estern Illinois and Cincinnati will both be seeking revenge for last season’s defeats a t Notre D am e’s hands. But these traditional rivalries will alm ost surely be overshadowed by last Sunday’s clash with Chicago.

40th anniversary of Father Nieuwiands workNovem ber is the 40th an ­

niversary of neoprene, the first of the useful synthetic rubbers. Developed by a Notre Dame chem istry professor and E. I. DuPont Company scientists, this versatile product was first an ­nounced to the world a t the m e e tin g of th e A m erican Chemical Society in Akron, Ohio, Novem ber 2, 1931.

Neoprene has come a long way s in c e R ev . Ju liu s A rth u r Nieuwand, C S C. wore a raincoat m ade of his brainchild that “ sm elled like heck.” As durable as natu ra l rubber, neoprene is also resilient, good-weathering, flam e resis tan t and resis tan t to ozone, o il, a i r , an d m any chem iicals, according to DuPont. I t is used as an arch itectural glaze, a jacketing for cables, an ex p a n sio n jo in t fo r b rid g es , safety cushions, lab stoppers and of course, tires.

As a g raduate student a t C atho lic U n iv ers ity of Am erica, Nieuwland noticed the strange odor of an elusive gas when a c e ty le n e w as p assed through a solution of copper and salts. Experim enting with dif­ferent sa lts over the next 14 years a t N o tre D am e, he fina lly isolated an oil which appeared in addition to the gas. When treated with vulcanizing agents this oil formed a rubbery substance too plastic for p ractical

C h em ists a t th e D uP ont Company heard of Nieuwland’s success with the oil in 1925, and joined him in his search for the m ysterious gas - finally iden­tified as monovinyl acetylene. T he sa m e group a c tu a lly developed “ sy n th e tic ru b b e r ” from N ieu w lan d ’s b as ic

discovery by reacting the gas with common hydrochloric acid.

When F ath e r Nieuwland and the DuPont chem ists announced the new product a t the ACS m eeting in Akron, the mild ch e m is t who w an ted n e ith e r fam e no r fo rtu n e sudden ly received both. Fortune was easily disposed of - Notre Dam e received all royalties from the discovery. F am e was m ore tricky.

Scores of journalists descended on the cam pus following the announcem ent. One reporter for Columbia m agazine suggested that the newsmen were expecting to find a “ g re a t m a n ,” surrounded by the trappings and assistan ts common to such. But instead, “They m et a very plain, a very quiet, and a little bit tired m iddleaged m an ,” he said. “To see h im w alk ing ab o u t the cam pus one would scarcely take him for a distinguished scientist.
