Tracey accepts Trustees SLC decisionAnn M arie Tracey, removed

from the Student Life Council in May by the Board of Trustees, said Sunday that she accepts and understands the decision.

Elected by N orth Quad students, she was rem oved from the body because the SLC con­s ti tu tio n re q u ire s s tu d e n t m em bers to be a Notre Dame student.

Recognizing the technicality,

Miss T racey urged all concerned to rem em ber students elected her with 435 votes, 174 votes

m ore than the other North Quad representative.

The governm ent m ajor added that m ost ot her classes m eet at Notre Dam e and tha t she feels she understands the problem s before the SLC as well a s any Notre Dam e student.

Miss T racey did not sta te she

would fight the action of the T rustees although she is opposed to it.

Je rry O’Connor, who received the third highest vote, said that he would accept the post if it was offered to him .

John Cullen, the other North Quad represen tative ;, said the T ru s te e s a r e m ag n ify in g a technicality beyond reasons.

Enforcement has little effectThe first weekend under the

T ru s te e d em an d for s t r ic te r e n fo rce m en t of p a r ie ta l and alcohol rules w as uneventful as students took a cautious w ait and see approach.

St. E dw ard’s P resident Martin Siemion said no trouble was encountered as a num ber of section parties were held.

Siemion said he was “w orried”

Barkett replies to Stephan letter

The sta tem ent according to the SBP, is m eant as a personal response to the T rustee’s action “ It is not m eant as a sta tem en t of student governm ent policy,” he added.

While B arkett objected to the recent stiffening of enforcem ent of University rules, he stopped short of condemning the Trustees action.

about upperclassm en because it seem s the University is taking aw ay w hat they’ve been used to in the past.

“ They’ve been good about it though, observing the regulations even though they m ay not agree with them ,” Siemion added.

In Keenan Hall, the official nolicy “ is tha t of the U niversity,” according to P resident David Lor mg.

He reported no violations and said the hall is leaving en­forcem ent up to the personal integrity of the individual.

Loring said parie tals is the p ro b lem a re a re c a llin g the “elbow nudge ” and rem arks that circulated his freshm an year the day afte r someone had a woman in his room.

“Then sophomore and junior year it changed. If you had a woman in your room nothing was m ade of it. But now they’re going back. They’re forcing us to revert with them and women will again be looked a t as sexual obiects. as

opposed to people,” Loring said.Claiming the university has

reversed “all good tha t was done,” Loring said he hopes for 24 hour parie tals next year, “afte r we show them we can act responsibly. ”

Cavanaugh hall was no dif­ferent from last vear according to P residen t Kevin Hansen, and expects things to rem ain the sam e.

“We had by far the most stric t r e c to r on ca m p u s . All the re g u la tio n s w ere s tr ic t ly e n ­forced, so we re already used to it. So far there hasn ’t been a change and I really don’t an ­ticipate any .”

R ule e n fo rc e m e n t a t Cavanaugh will be left for the most part, to the individual, Hansen said.

Steven Jeselnik, Breen-Phillips president, said it is too soon to “judge the d ifferences.”

“ If beer is being carried from room to room, he added, “ they a re being very discreet about it.”

say, UCLA. The Notre Dame students do not see the situationas such.”

S L C a d m i n i s t r a t i v e r e p re s e n ta t iv e F r . T hom as Blantz said Miss T racey on the SLC would be a “ form of d is c r im in a tio n ” against, the students of Notre Dame.

“ It would be just like adm itting Y ale p re s id e n t K igcm an B rew ster as an adm inistra tive represen tative. He would surely bring m any fine ideas but the council was not designed for the purpose of adm itting such a m em ber,” the Vice P residen t for S tudent Affairs said.

The SLC is a “ very serious organization,” F r. Blantz, and its constitution should be followed in

SMC students will notreceive ND degrees

SBP John B arkett suggested that each trustee live for a week a t any dorm , in a le tter to Board of T rustees Chairm an Edm und Stephan.

"I think the tim e has come to realize that the social outlets of students here a re virtually none. Come and live in any dorm here for a week. Talk to students and ask what there is to do socially,” B arkett said, “Then you too will dream about the reality of co­education.”

-saint M ary’s seniors will not re c e iv e d ip lo m as from the University of Notre Dam e this year.

Academic Dean Sr. Jeanne Finske, explained that although the academ ic departm ents of both schoo ls h av e m e rg e d , com plete unification is not ex­pected to be finalized until 1974 or 1975. P lans for joint graduation exercises have not been decided upon yet.

During a questions and answ er period, a t a senior convocation in the Little Theatre, Sr. Jeanne em phasized that courses taken at

ND w ould appear" on SMC transcrip ts, but not as having been taken a t ND.

“ It doesn’t m ake that much difference whom is reading the tran sc rip t,” added Sr. Jeanne. “You should have gone to H ar­vard , Princeton, or Yale, if you wanted it m arked .”

H iggins: ND may form consumer protection groupBob H iggins, an O b serv er

reporter and Hall Life Com­m issioner, attended a weekend c o n fe re n ce on co n su m er research groups a t the University of Minnesota as a representative of ND student governm ent, ed.

" I f Ralph Nader and a s taff of 10-15 lawyers can dent the federal bureaucracy, a similar stand in each state could change the direction of the nation."

Donald K. Ross Attorney and Nader Raider

The “ sim ilar s ta n d ” of which Mr. Ross speaks is a Public In­terest Research Group (PIRG ).

The PIRG consists of a group of full tim e paid p ro fe ssio n s (law yers, m arketings analysists, environm ental scientists, etc.) and an outer core of faculty advisors and students. A few students a re also hired as full tim e employees. Some a re p art tim e and m any do volunteer

work.Two years ago, the m ere

b ra in c h ild of consum er- protector, Ralph Nader, PIRGs a re now forming throughout the nation.

N ader’s idea germ inated from his evaluation of students as “ possibly the m ost vocal, yet least politically effective group in the United S tates... He felt that student enthusiasm and idealism should be ch a n n e lled into p o sitiv e ac tio n in s tea d of diversified dissent.

Students PIRGs are the m eans to this end.

The group is financed com ­pletely by students. In Oregon and Minnesota, the m ajority of students have signed petitions agreeing to tax them selves the sum of three dollars each year to finance this gorup.

This presents a many-sided u n iq u en ess . B ecau se the organization is solely student-

funded, it is naturally controlled exclusively by students. In the Minnesota PIRG model, each college, regard less of size, elects one represen tative to the State Board of Directors,which is the u ltim ate decision m aking body in the organization. L arger schools will be allowed one represen­tative for every 5,000 full tim e students enrolled.

The State Board of D irectors, besides setting all policy for the PIRG, has hiring and firing pow er over the s ta ff of p ro fe ss io n a ls . W hile being responsible to no one, it is ob­served and counselled by an advisory staff which is coi lposed of faculty m em bers and com ­munity leaders selected by the S tate Board. The m em bers of this staff a re not sa laried , have no veto power, nor do they form ally vote, but they can m ake recom m endatiom s to the State Board, based on their

knowledge and expertise.This idea is not a fantasy. At

the U niveristy of Minnesota, alone, a school of better than 90 per cent com m uters, 400 students gathered 26,000 signitures (better than 60 per cent of the student body) calling for the creation of a PIRG in that state . In all, 50,000 students signed petitions in the Gopher state , consequently the M inneso ta P u b lic In te re s t R e se ra rc h G roup (M PIR G ) began operations this year with a budget in excess of $200,000. $15,000 of this money was turned over to fif tee n s tu d e n ts for sum m er research projects, for which they received academ ic credit.

During the sum m er MPIRG hired a lawyer and two en­v iro n m e n ta l sc ie n tis ts . The group plans to hire seven m ore professionals for full tim e em ­ployment. Chuck Dayton, the MPRIG lawyer, agreed to a 50

percent cu t in pay to work for the environm ent protection group.

M PRIG is off to such an out­standing s ta r t that it was able to finance a convention this past weekend, which was attended by m ore than 40 delegates, who cam e from as far as Oregon, Berkeley, and Columbus, Ohio, to hear the am azing success story of MPIRG.

B rad B a k e r, a senior in m arketing a t the University of In d ia n a , led thz In d ian a delegation. Baker is now in tl( h e process of educating all of t,„. Indiana schools in the m erits of forming the Indiana Public In­te re s t R e se a rc h G roup (IN PIRG) and is receiving a full sem ester’s cred it (17 hours) for his effort.

INPIRG is presently in an infantile stage. It can and will grow to be as successful as

by Dennis DugganG ary Caruso, d irector of the co-

ex dinner program , expects to begin th e p ro je c t M onday, Septem ber 20.

P lans a re being m ade to ex­pand the program sta rted last sem ester under the direction of Bob Ohlemiller.

They call for an increase in the 100 tickets available last year to a projected 200 for each m eal this sem ester.

Details have not been finalized, but, as it stands now, the co-ex m eals will be the evening m eals Monday th ru Saturday and the Sunday lunch.

During the first few weeks Caruso expects to assign each hall a specific night to ea t a t St. M ary’s dining hall, as an in­troduction to the program , and then open it to general cam pus distribution.

Although Caruso term ed the

.program , “very successful last y ea r ,” there a re still some dif­ficult wrinkles to be ironed out.

A cco rd ing to O h lem ille r, d is tr ib u tio n w as the m ain problem . It is hoped this year that the dinner tickets can be handled through the Student Union Ser-

G ary Carusoe

vices Commission.O ther problem s a re not of a

logistical nature . “A one-to-one switch is needed if the co-ex dinner p rogram is to be a suc­cess.” Ohlem iller said.

He said m any SMC students w ere hesitan t to ea t dinner at Notre D am e last yea r because the food w as not as good as a t St M ary’s, and because the conduct of the Notre Dam e student was im m ature.

Caruso said tha t A ssistant Vice P residen t for Student Affairs, F r. Jam es Shilts was acting as a c o o rd in a to r b e tw een E d m u n d Price, d irector of food services, and Raym ond P erry , head of Saga Foods a t St. M ary’s.

Caruso felt tha t the progress that had been m ade w as en­couraging and hopes to have specific details som etim e this week.

Working out of the N ader Washington office, Highland has taken upon him self the task of to u rin g m id w e s te rn s ta te s , speaking a t num erous cam puses in an a ttem p t to educate and a t the sa m e tim e invo lve the

students in the PIRG idea.Highland and Baker will be

making a whistle-stop tour of Indiana this week. They hope to be in South Bend on Thursday.

The PIRG is a virgin forest. A few of the la rger oaks have been felled by M innesota and Oregon. Much lies ahead for sta tes, like Indiana, which a re in the for­m a tiv e s ta g e s . B ut the dedication and perserverance of all the delegates a t the MPIRG convention, leads one to conclude that the task is not too great.

Students have m ore power than they a re able to realize, and m ore im portantly, m ore power than they can mobilize. In the words of Ralph Nader,

The impact which students have had on their society is remarkable given the tiny ex­penditure of energy and time by a small fraction of the student body. Consider the multiple growth of this impact when students develop their own full time action arm s which in turn will invigorate the education of the students with a new sense of quest, purpose and pertinence. The s tu d e n t pub lic in te res t research groups, discussed here, can proliferate throughout the co u n try to m a k e the m ost dynamic and imporant student development in our history. These students PIRG s will be catalysts for the focused energies of students, faculty, and other citizen and professional support, now d issipated and d ir e c ­tionless.”

The student directory will be p rin te d an d in c irc u la tio n hopefully, by Oct. 1, according to editor Walt Szwarc.

Four to five weeks have been cut from the custom ary com ­pletion tim e, because the staff is sending photo-ready copy to the printer.

Photo-ready copy elim inates the need for type-setting, which has delayed the directory in the past.

Computer listings of the combined ND-SMC student

bodies will be posted in the Huddle and St. M ary’s dining hall until Wednesday.

“These listings contain ap ­proxim ately 300 e rro rs ,” ac ­cording to U niversity R egistrar R ichard Sullivan, “The most common erro r is a m issing local address.”

After students have corrected the posted listings, the directory will be p r in te d . F o rm s a re available a t both locations for corrections.

The Need to be Willing to ActThe letter John Barkett sent to Board of Trustee Chairman Edmund

Stephan was typical of the Barkett administration. It was courteous, reflective, calm. Without surrendering his dignity or the dignity of student government, Barkett’s letter, while praising the intent of the Board of Trustees, made it abundantly clear that the rules that Board wants enforced cannot be enforced, save perhaps through a series of crises that can be nothing but detrimental to the University. In his letter, too Barkett invited the Trustees to this University to live in the dorms, among students.

We hope they will accept the offer. We hope that the Trustees will use more of Barkett’s insightful vision and less of their own current telescopic bomb- sights. We hope that the Trustees will come here with a mind open enough to see for themselves that Parietal enforcement isn’t going to work. We hope they will come to realize that the Student Body President and the Student Life Council is better able to perceive how things are at this University then they are. We hope that this letter will initiate a profound change of thought among the Trustees.

But we don’t think it will happen.We think, instead, that the Board of Trustees will be as intransigent as

ever. We believe that confronted with this letter alone, they will remain continually blind to the nature of student life at Notre Dame.

That’s why it is more imperative than ever that students at this University vividly indicate their sentiments towards Stephan’s letter; yielding where there is right reason - as we hope the Board of Trustees yield to the right reason of Barkett’s letter; but holding firm where there is a clear en­croachment upon the powers that should rightfully be the Student Life Council’s.

We know, for example, that the drinking rules are forced upon the University by the state of Indiana, whose inept legislature the Trustees are beginning to resemble. Hence, attempts to defy the drinking restrictions are doomed to failure; they are more easily circumvented, anyway. We know, too, that vandalism is a pastime that amuses only temporarily and benefits none, and hall judicial councils that protect vandals are not being responsive to the halls. But the changes needed to deal with these realities are changes from within - student-enforced changes - changes that come about, not because the Board of Trustees wants them to come about - but because they are right.

But Parietal Hours are purely an invention of the Board of Trustees, and an unwelcome one at that. The University has no responsibility to God, the State, or Notre Dame to keep girls out of the halls after 2 AM; virtuous men don’t suddenly change into lechers at that hour, nor do ladies of the day turn into ladies of the night. When halls set parietal hours, the minority suffers, but not abjectly or unfairly, when the Trustees set pareital hours, everyone suffers no matter what his personal preferences are; for such an action underminds the rights of students and the dignity of the Student Life Council.

So once again we urge student members of the SLC not to allow itself to become an ancillary of the Board of Trustees. The SLC must re-submit its parietal hours resolution to the Board. In the wake of a refusal to do so, the students must walk out and deny the SLC the needed quorum to conduct business.

Righteous On

You Shall Not CrucifyMankind on this

Dome o f Gold ....

You Shall Not PressUpon His Brow this

Crown o f HornsSam Wilson

On-campus students have m erited them selves a sneer and a tear, as the Rt. Rev. Stephan has single-handedly reduced their argum ents for rem aining on cam pus to an absurdity . Back in the old days, when a student caught com plaining about tuition increases w as sent down to the rector for a harangue, most students not looking for m onastery train ing w ere looking for off-campus housing. The situation grew so serious, in fact, tha t Hesburgh (this was when he was on the side of lawnorder, rem em ber, not when he was on the side of the students) resorted in his desperation to insulting off-campus stu d en ts; and the adm inistration bureaucrats legislated against non-seniors off- cam pus.

for the last couple years, thanks partially to efforts on the p a rt of student power advocates, on-campus living has becom e bearab le , and last y e a r’s Dome could even pretend that the m erits of living there w ere com parable to living off-campus or anyw here but a zoo. However, the illusion has been stripped off; C hairm an Stephan, riding the steed of chastity and carry ing the whip of bull, has probably initiated a w idespread exodus off-campus, an exodus tha t will be slowed down only by m ore heavy-handed adm inistration whip- cracking.

I ’m conceding, righ t off, th a t the Board of T rustees w on’t recognize their e rro r and go hpme with their rules. They never have in the past, and when the ir past grandiose schem es to keep the spit-’n ’-polish on the dome (like their original refusal to let halls determ ine their own parie tal hours) fall fla t on their collective faces, they figure the reason is the ingratitude of the students and the answ er is m ore gestapo-like enforcem ent.

T hat’s all crap , of course, and i t ’s not even original crap . The T rustees think they’re instilling their own (adm ittedly deeply m oral) value system (which seem s to be a vague analg ram of no screwing afte r 2 AM and no boozing w here you can get caught) on the student body and hence bettering it, but in rea lity a ll they ’re doing is building resentm ent and alienation. Not too different from w hat im perialists have done in Africa, South A m erica, and Southeast Asia, is it?

How will we respond? The old student power advocates would have responded loudly, directly , firm ly. The present student governm ent has invited T rustees to live in the Dorm s for a week or so. How a bunch of rich, m arried septegenarian m en from Chicago and New York a re going to sym pathise with the plight of students without women, without booze, and locked in the m iddle of this trag ic berg on the basis of a seven days’ visit is a question tha t can legitim ately be raised , but it won’t be answ ered here. Instead, I ’ll propose an a lte rn a te solution. Let the T rustees live here for the re s t of the ir lives. Then all the students can move off-campus, w here they can drink w here they want, sleep with whom ever they wish, and in general run their own lives.

THE OBSERVERrick smith

the obscurity of the night but serves to reveal the brilliance of the stars”

This Thursday is the Fourth of July in Mexico. From an American point of view. I t ’s In d ep en d en ce D ay th e re and patriotism is kind of a different thing there mostly everybody joins in the celebration.

I lived in El Paso for eighteeen years, still go home once or twice a year. So that puts me about fifteen m inutes from Juarez. A city which probably still ranks second to Tijuana for bad reputation, but, in the by by now old cliche, Juarez tries harder. There a re over half a million people there, the vast m ajority existing in indescribably bad living conditions. I rem em ber when some sociologist cam e to

quest for ever-greater security. And, it seem s to me, the effects have not been too good. So far, a t least. And I am led to a tentative conclusion that it would behoove one who would rem ain sort of sane to go outand seek some challenge, a really basic feeling. Kind of like dad’s old thing about never really appreciated something unlessyou’ve really earned it. On a certain level, a t least, I guess th a t’s right.

A little history m ight be appropriate, I think. Men first appeared in Mexico five thousand years ago in the form of nomadic tribes who cultivated corn in the central and southeastern parts of the country.m m a mlong,

thing, to the extent that it is hard to talk about. But it is also a m atte r of interest, if not concern, for me and so I ’m going to try j to rela te a few impressions of this very different land.

I am assum ing that most of you have heard all about how there is such a g reat dichotomy between the rich and the poor - how there a re all the m asses of ex­trem ely poor people and the few ex- trem em ly wealthy folk and how this is still being used by local politicians for personal advancem ent. This all is very true. But there is much m ore to the land, much more beauty and life, much m ore pain, more hum anity, if th a t’s the right word.

That is the biggest thing about Mexico for me Here there is so mucu bleakness, so little comfort. There is so much that is outrageous and intrinsically evil, opposed to hum anity and life. And it seem s to me that it is here one encounters the truly incredible paradox of the Mexican people, if not of all people and all lifs in general. I'm not yet a real philosopher, you see.

So in the face "of absurdity, over­whelming pain and death, where life’s m eaning it has, is most far removed, those who are,through no fault of their own, it seem s, most deeply involved in it can only laugh. Laugh loudly, laugh deeply and for a long time. Like these people really are involved in life, in contem porary youth culture term s, they really dig life. From our superior, improved rationalistic vista we might brand them as stupid. We just have to be superior, seeing as how we spend so much more tim e, energy and money a t it. Even when they weep, I get the feeling that it is a much deeper emotion than is most commonly en­countered in our sani flush world.

The usual cool, non-commital a ttitude so necessary for survival here fares ra ther badly down there. I read an article this sum m er by someone whose nam e I ’ve since forgotten about how in the past men have always had to fight desperately for all the essentials of life. Ours is the first c iv iliza tio n w hich has had c lo th ing , housing, and food m ore or less supplied upon dem and. The old challenges of life have now faded before our ever-im proving

Mayans Aztecs been

preciated, probably, I guess, since they were not associated with Greece or Rome. The Spaniards conquered w hat is now Mexico in fifteen twenty one, and they were not very benevolent victors. Under the encom ienda system , landowners were allowed to ex trac t slave labor from the Indians; for two hundred years the ex­p lo ita tio n of th e In d ian s co n tinued , unabated by several laws passed against such action.

The F ranciscans, bearers of the True and Holy Faith To Melt the Swords into P lo w sh a re s , o r so m eth in g like th a t, arrived three years afte r Cortes had finished his job. The faith spread rapidly, we a re told, to all the poor heathens.

Three hundred years afte r the establish­m ent of Spanish rule, F a ther Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla led the first large-scale revolt, which ended in failure. F ather Jose M aria Morelos y Pa von continued the revolution and, like F a ther Hidalgo, was executed. In eighteen twenty one in­dependence was finally achieved, and a century of bloodshed and struggle began.

The next big nam e is Antonio Lopez de

Santa Anna, an erra tic m ilitary genius of gloomy coutenahce who described himself as the Napoleon of the West. He was to rule Mexico eleven separate tim es between eighteen thirty three and eighteen fifty five. Under his rule Mexico lost m ore than half of its original territo ry to the United States.

In the period following Santa Anna, there was a constant see saw battle bet­ween liberals and conservatives. The most prom inent liberal figure to em erge was Benito Juarez , author of some of the reform m easures in the constitution of 1850. Under his rule, the church lost most of its nower. Under his rule, ths church lost most of its power, as did much of the rest of the upper class. Pope PiusIX got so excited about the whole thing that he w rote “ it allows the free exercise of all cults and adm its the right of pronouncing in public every kind of

“ We are alone at last, like all men, and like them we live in a world of violence and deception, a world dominated by Don No One. It protects but also op­presses us, hides us but also disfigures us. I f we tear o ff these masks, if we open ourselves up, we face our own selves, then we can truly begin to live and to th ink . N a k e d n e s s and d e fe n ­celessness are awaiting us. But there, in that ‘open’ solitude, transcendence is also awaiting us: the outstretched hands of other solitary beings. For the first time in history we are contemporaries of all mankind."

Octavio Paz

thought and opinion . . . we declare null and void the said decrees .”

In spite of all the opposition, Juarez assum ed the Presidency and the country soon found itself on the verge of ruin and bankruptcy.

Conservatives got up a conspiracy which resulted in the ascendancy of Napoleon- backed M aximilian. To the surprise of his b a c k e rs , M ax im ilian p o ssessed som e relatively liberal instincts. F rench forces withdrew eventually and Juarez was back in business. By eighteen seventy two, when Juarez died, Mexico had becom e a nation, half a century afte r it had ceased being a colony.

A new record was set when Porfirio Diaz ruled the country from eighteen seventy six to nineteen ten. And rule he did. Where Juarez built up from the soil and con­stitution, erecting schools and respecting the rights of others, Diaz wanted to impose im provem ents from the top down. He felt this was the only hope for the Mexican people, who, he insisted, had dem on­stra ted no ability either to govern or to im prove them selves. In this period, a few

paul dziedzicon 3rd and 17, don’t punt, call the ombudsman

people acquired g rea t wealth, while the rest of Mexico was poorer than ever.

In nineteen ten, Don Porfirio invited d ignitaries from all over the world to see the new and improved Mexico, the railroads that ran on tim e, harbors, broad boulevards, s ta te ly homes. Indians and paupers w ere ordered to say off the main stree ts of the capital. But just as there had been omens of death and destruction prior to the Spanish invasion, there w as a violent eruption of a volcano, earth trem ors, fiery com ets.

Men such as F rancisco Madero, Pancho Villa and Em iliano Zapata becam e famous during this tim e. They knew the issues - d ictatorship, the flouting of the con­stitution, effective suffrage, economic repression and Mexico for Mexicans. A round them th ro n g ed a s ta rv in g peasan try , landless Indians, men who had been in trouble with the law during the P orfirian Peace. One w riter has said the Revolution w as planned by thinkers and executed by bandits and afte r a tim e one could not be told from the other.

Mexico saw ten presidents in the next seven years. One established a short term record of forty six m inutes. The population actually dropped as both violence, s ta r ­vation and disease took heavy tolls. Everyone was in arm s. It looked like a Hollywood scrip tw riters dream . Or a nightm are. The wiliest and ablest general was Alvaro Obregon and he becam e president in nineteen twenty.

This has gotten much too long and so I ’m going to end it soon. It is a very different country. Both very beautiful and very ugly. Life’s com plexity com es into glaring and blinding focus here. The M achine is exercising power in the culture as it seeks afte r m odernization. But the dam age is still lim ited. Two ca rs alm ost collide and a crowd of chicanos standinv beside the s tree t raises their a rm s and shouts in unison “ o le!”

I realize that my perspective is not the best, wandering in w hat Octavio Paz has called “ an ab s trac t world of m achines, fellow citizens and m oral p recep ts.” I guess I'm probably even paternal. I invite anyone who has any other insights perhaps gained through a closer experience with Mexico to w rite about them.

Paz also w rites very beautifully on the lesson which Mexico holds fioir me, “ To live is to be separated from what we were in order to approach what we are going to be in the mysterious future. Solitude is the profoundest fac t of the human condition. Man is the only being who knows he is alone, and the only one who seeks out another . . . All our forces strive to abolish our solitude. Hence the feeling that we are alone has a double significance: on the one hand it is self-awareness and on the other it is a longing to escape from ourselves. Solitude - the very condition of our lives - appears to us as a test and a purgation, at the conclusion of which our anguish and instability will vanish. At the exit from the labyrinth of solitude we will find reunion ( which is repose and happiness) and plenitude and harmony with the world." Thank you very much.

It could be that the tru ly fortunate people a re those who a re able to worry about the big problem s. Truth, beauty, and even co-education a re the luxuries of minds rem oved from the nuisances of cockroaches in the la trine, buses running off schedule or underw ear decim ated by the laundry. P residen t Nixon is preoc­cupied with putting his house in order before next November and F ather Burt- chaell has his hands full with all the strings he’s pulling so the task of caring for life’s real, if sm all, problem s falls to the Om­budsman.

Q: I was using the lavatory facilities on the third floor of the student center when a cockroach mistook my leg for a w aterpipe and proceeded to clim b all the way to my knee. I was very distressed. What can be done about this? ANONYMOUS

A: That is distressing. An exterm inator has taken care of the roach but you’d better do som e jogging to get rid of those w ateroipe legs.

Q: I ’m a St. M ary’s student and I forgot to reserve a football ticket for this season. What should I do? C.R. McCandless

A : Co-education h asn ’t quite reached the ticket office yet and as a result Notre Dame and St. M ary’s a re still operating under different rules. Each Notre Dame student pays for his ticket when he pays his University bill. The ladies have to order th e ir’s special and only 1400 are available for the whole student body.

You still have a chance to see the national cham ps in their six home gam es if you call the ticket office a t 7354 and put yourself on a waiting list. Any tickets not claim ed by F riday will be available to the latecom ers. If that doesn’t work, cozy up to one of the guys on the team . You m ay not get to any football gam es, but you will see plenty of action.

A: Last sum m er while traveling in Europe I lost my motorbike. The United States Em bassy in Rome has inform ed me that the Rome Police have recovered it but

my le tte rs to them have gone unanswered. Can you help m e? F.N . Class of ’71

A : Our staff in Rome has cleared this up. You can have your bike back as soon as you send enough money to pay for the cost of painting over that large green sham rock on the steps of the Coliseum. Oh,... Sophia says hi and wants to know if you’re going to s ta rt a t quarterback again this year.

Q: This new bus schedule and route has me confused. The buses just seem to follow each other around nobody knows when or w here th e y ’re s to p p in g . Can you straighten this out? R.B -Fisher Hall

A : We’re working on it but you seem to have hit the nail on the head - nobody knows w hat’s happening. The buses do seem to just follow each other and appear to have better things to do than bother with riders. My guess is that it’s m ating season Watch for little go-carts to s ta r t scooting around cam pus. We’re going to post S tephan’s le tter in the bus shed tonight and when they see we m ean business things

will se ttle down. We’ll try to get a copy of the schedule into the O bserver if that happens.

Everybody needs a helping hand once in a while and we try to give it. Dial 7638 if you w ant to unload those problem s on somebody who cares.

Irish offense needs consistency

Pat Steenberge, shown here handing off to John Cieszkowski, threwtwo touchdown passes in Saturday’s scrim m age.

by Jim Donaldson Sports Editor

While m any of the college football team s in the land played th e ir se aso n o p en e rs la s t weekend, the Fighting Irish grid forces held a gam e type scrim ­m age in Notre Dame Stadium . It was, perhaps, a break for the Irish that their schedule didn’t begin Saturday.

The Notre Dam e offense was erra tic and the Irish w ere guilty of a num ber of e rro rs in the scrim m age.

Coach Ara P arseghian had sta ted before the scrim m age that he would be looking for con­sistency and assignm ent com ­petency.

“ We didn’t find e ither,” he rem arked afterw ards. “ We’re m aking too m any m istakes. Our biggest problem continues to be gaining consistency on offense.”

The num ber one offense did m anage to score five touchdowns but two of them cam e in the opening m inutes of the first quarte r and the last th ree w eren’t

scored until the final 12 m inutes of play.

P a t S teenberge directed the first unit to th ree scores, two of them coming via the aeria l route, and Bill E tte r led the num ber one club to a pair of touchdowns, leaving the question of who will s ta rt a t quarterback against Northwestern next weekend still unanswered.

“ I don’t know much m ore now th an I a lre a d y k n ew ,” w as P arseghian s only com m ent on his quarterback situation.

Cliff Brown had a rough outing Saturday, throwing th ree in­terceptions while a t the helm of the second and th ird units and Jim Bulger was able to lead the num ber th ree offense to just one first down against the num ber one defense.

S teenberge tossed a wobbly 39- yard pass to Greg Hill for the first score of the afternoon barely three m inutes afte r the scrim ­m age began. Bob Thomas, a sophomore walk-on who kicks soccer style, then booted the first of six ex tra points.

Steenberge flipped another TD pass the next tim e he had the b a ll, lo ftin g a s lig h tly u n ­d erth ro w n a e r ia l to Bobby Minnix in the end zone. The play covered 32 yards.

L in e b a c k e r R ich T hom ann re c o rd e d th e g a m e ’s th ird score nine m inutes into the first qu arte r when he picked off a Bulger pass and ran 30 yards for a touchdown.

The first unit did not reach paydirt again until the fourth quarte r. With senior halfback Bill G allagher doing m uch of the work, Steenberge d irected the num ber one offense to the one yard line, w here L arry P ark er ran in for the score. Gallagher caught passes of 14 and 29 yards

Patulskiby Vic D orr ’74

The question most often asked ab o u t W alt P a tu ls k i , N o tre D a m e ’s 1971 d efen siv e co ­captain, does not have to do with his talents on the football field. Nor does it have to do with his leadership abilities. It has to do with his size.

Patulski, a regu lar a t left defensive end since 1969, was listed by one pre-season football m agazine as “one of the sm allest defensive ends in the coulntry.” But another publication called him an “am iable g ian t” and placed his size a t 6-6, 260.

And the Notre Dam e Football Guide, the “official” source for such figures, lists the Irish co­captain as 6-5, 235.

“ A ctually,” said Patulski, “ the University has m e as being 6-5, but I ’m really som ething like 6-5 or 6. And I am close to 260, so I

guess the 6-6, 260 is just about righ t.”

But while there m ay be some question about P atu lsk i’s actual size, there is none about his ability. The senior from Liver­pool, N .Y .’ has sta rted every gam e for the Irish over the past two seasons, and was nam ed to the Football News’ sophomore All-America team afte r his first season with the Irish varsity.

L a s t y e a r he rec e iv e d honorable mention on the UPI All-America unit, and this y e a r - as the co-captain on a team that many a re tabbing to win the national title—he has been a favorite choice for pre-season AA honors.

“Most of us have been through this business of pre-season picks before,” said Patulski, “ and we’ve found tha t i t ’s fu tile-and unpred ic tab le- to worry about

and ca rried the ball several tim es in the drive.

E tte r, who had been unable to move the club in two first quarte r appearances, engineered a pair of scores in the final stanza. In one drive, he passed to Mike Creaney for 17 yards and Tom Gatewood for 10. Andy Huff bu lled h is w ay th ro u g h th e m iddle for 15 yards and Minnix scam pered seven yards for the touchdown.

Some nifty scram bling by E tte r resulted in the final touchdown of the scrim m age. S tarting on his own 47, E tte r com pleted a 20- yard pass to G allagher. He then ripped off scram bling runs of 16 and 15 yards, putting the ball on the two, and G allagher carried for the score.

punishes

Walt Patulskiw hat the polls a re going to do to you. And I feel along the sam e lines as fa r as being a pre-season All- A m erican goes.”

But for Patulski, and for the rest of the F ighting Irish, the “pre-season” period will soon be ending. The Irish collide with the Northwestern W ildcats Saturday, in a gam e tha t should indicate just how accu ra te the early predictions have been.

“ It figures to be a weird y ea r ,” said Patulski, “because a lot of the really good team s on our sc h ed u le go t b e a t ov er the weekend. But i t’ll be a different story when these team s play us. It always is. Everyone’s always up for Notre Dame.

“ I know N orthw estern’s going to be tough. They like to run the tackle trap and the draw , and this year they ’ve got a quarterback (M aurie D aigneau) so they’ll be able to throw. They’ve got Barry P e a rso n ( f la n k e r) and A1 Robinson (running back) back (oo, so they could give us some trouble.”

But Patulski has no doubts about the Irish defense tha t will be m eeting the Northwestern a ttack . “ I think you’ll see better

The second and th ird units w ere able to score only one touch­down and tha t cam e as a result of a big break . A fumbled punt a t his own four by Greg Hill set up a two-yard touchdown plunge by John Clem ents.

A bright spot in the scrim m age w as the play of the Irish defense which allowed only six first downs, none of them by rushing. The front four of Walt Patulski, Greg M arx, Mike Zikas and Tom F re is t r o f f e r p re s s u re d B row n and Bulger continually.

“ E ric will be running the show on defense,” he said, “and my job-w ell, my job is ju st seeing that we win. No, i t ’s m ore than that. I guess my job is seeing that we shut people out.”

P atu lsk i’s goal of “shutting people ou t” is a tough one, but the ND co-captain is eager for his first chance to achieve it.

“ We’ve been w atching film s of last y e a r’s gam e with Nor­thw estern ,” he said, “and w e’ve been horrified to see just how lousy we w ere-even if we did

The Graduate ViewJJ — Scouting Report

Trying to judge a team ’s perform ance on the basis of radio tra n ­smission is somewhat difficult. You can ’t really tell if one te am ’s ground gam e is not functioning because the offensive guards keep falling down when pulling or because the deffensive line averages 280 pounds.

You can ’t, that is, unless the announcer tells you and he is too busy filling in pregnant pauses with com m ercials for Tony’s beef sausages.

Still, I m anaged to glean enough from WMAQ last Saturday to convince me that Notre D am e had better do certain things right next Saturday against N orthwestern or face a tough afternoon.

By now, all of you doubtless know how N orthw estern’s Jack Dustin, all 5’ 11” of him , deflected a Michigan 3rd q u arte r field goal attem pt, then allowed Wolverine Bo R ather to fall on the ball for the TD that turned the gam e around and led to M ichigan’s 21-6 victory.

Actually, the Wildcats w ere in trouble anyw ay, even if the score was only 7-0 a t the tim e. They had failed to score th ree tim es in the first half when they should have and the Michigan ground gam e had already taken the life out of NU’s spirited front line.

I don’t believe NU could have won even if Dustin had stayed on the ground. But the W ildcats really worked Michigan over in the first half.

What w orries m e about all this is that ND and Michigan a re sim ilar team s. Each has a powerful running gam e, an excellent defense, and a question m ark at quarterback.

The first half was all Cat and should have ended 9-7 NU a t the very least. Northwestern retu rns this y ea r strong on defense (8 regu lars oack), but their front lour a re on the sm all side with the exception of 6’ 6” , 250 pound Jim Anderson.

But the W ildcats knew Michigan would try to run all day and MU reacted by stacking the m iddle and out-quicking the bigger Wolverines.

Having the wind advantage in the first q u arte r, NU stopped Michigan cold, twice throwing soph qb Kevin Casey for losses. After a shaky s ta r t himself, ‘Cat qb M aurie D aigneau got his club rolling.

Getting adequate protection from a young and inexperienced of­fensive line, he mixed the power running of A1 Robinson and Johnny Cooks with some superbly tim ed draw s and screen passes.

I can recall an ND Purdue gam e in the H anratty e ra when the Irish m arched up and down the field with ease but couldn’t negotiate those last 20 yards. Last Saturday, NU cam e up with several novel ways of doing the sam e.

A Daigneau interception spoiled one drive. Then with 4th-and-2 a t the Michigan 11-yard line, the ‘Cats spurned the field goal. A suicidal plunge into M ichigan’s tough front line failed. According to Alex Agase, he would have gone for the field goal, but Daigneau held up his hands signaling only about a yard to go. M aybe the NU coach needs a qb with a longer reach.

Anyway, the persistant W ildcats la te r failed on a 36-yard field goal attem pt and on another 4th and short yardage play.

F inally, Michigan got the wind advantage and figured out how to move. The Wolverines used soph speedster Bo R ather on a “ flanker- around ” play that cought NU going the collective wrong way. The first tim e R ather tried it, he gained 20 yards; the second tim e, he went 18 yards for a T D ; the th ird tim e, he w as stopped for no gain but by then it was too late.

The rest of the gam e, All-American candidate Billy Taylor tore up the W ildcats (109 yards).

NU O FFEN SE - The Irish have little to fear from the Catrunners. Robinson and Cooks a re adequate but unspectacular. The passing, however, is clearly dangerous. Operating against a zone defense, Daigneau went 19-31 for 199 yards and 3 interceptions. You can chalk up som e of those m isses and interceptions to rustiness: his receivers w ere open all day. The favorite ‘Cat ploy is a flood pattern whereby B arry Pearson (4 catches for 46 yards) and Jim Lash (7 for 94) c lear for each other in the flat and hook zones.

It has always been my contention tha t the Irish a re vulnerable in these zones since our cornerbacks play off so deep and since the slower linebackers have flat zone responsibility. If the Irish line fails to pressure Daigneau, he could work these short zones with devastating effect.

NU D EFEN SE - The ‘Cats a re quick and aggressive, but they a re small M ichigan’s Casey was 4 of 11 passing for only 34 yards against the excellent NU deep defenders. It took the Wolverines a full half to w ear down their sm aller opponents.

The Irish offensive linemen and backs a re as big and tough as M ichigan’s. If ND persists in calling Run-Run-Pass on every series of downs, however, the Irish will have their hands full.

On the basis of my radio scouting, I m ake these predictions: The crucial a reas will be the Irish pass defense and offensive line. ND m ust hold NU in check for the first half and m anage som e sort of of­fensive punch. But in the second half, Irish beef should take over and the ND Wishbone-T should become devastatingly effective.

And let us hope that Ara finds someone who can get the ball to Tom Gatewood.
