According to earlier reports the company had made a last minute contract offer to the union but Nick Bovden, vicepresident of local 5511 in Racine said that the union executive board had received "no formal contract offers since May 21st." Bovden maintained that if the company wanted to negotiate a contract to avoid the strike it could have done so during the time between the initial offer and the strike deadline. National issues focus on union demands for an immediate 25 per cent across the board wage increase and \sr the consent of the Bell System to become a union shop. The company had offered a 30 per cent wage increase over a three year contract period but union officials termed the proposal "inadequate". Locally the strike affects 140 Wisconsin Telephone employees in Kenosha and 300 in Racine. Bovden pointed out that in Racine late-shift operators had staged a walkout nine hours prior to the strike deadline but explained that it had been precipitated by "undue pressure from supervisors". He added that the walkout affected only the late-shift operators and that the bulk of the employees remained on the job until the deadline. A union spokesman from Kenosha claimed that many employees had become "disenchanted" with the Bell System management. He explained that "grievances have reached an all time high during the past five years", citing that this strike is the second to hit the company in three years. The previous strike lasted 18 days. He attributed the rising dissatisfaction among employees to the company's attitude toward its employees and that it had lost the "espirit de corp" that had been established during its first thirty years. He contended that since Theodore Vail, a founder and past president of AT&T the employee "has been lost in the shuffle" between customer, stockholder and employee. The spokesman suggested that union strikes would not be necessary if the company maintained as good a relationship with its employees as it does with its customers. "They spend millions on public relations but they don't pay adequate wages nor improve working conditions so how can they expect the best service?" C o n c e r n i ng w a g e demands Joe Andrea, a chief steward in Kenosha, said that the CWA, had paid $100,000 for a study to determine wage distribution throughout the country. The study entitled the Nathan Report, divided the country into four wage "bands" to be used as a guideline in setting wages. The study places telephone workers from the Kenosha area in a lower wage band than those in Milwaukee. Andrea claimed that "there would be no handicap placed on the company if it followed this report." He added that the Bell System has utilized parts of the report in the past but maintains no consistency to it. The union substantiates its demand for wage increases by pointing out the profits AT&T reaps each year. A union member put it this way: "It's too bad they hire employees who can read that they made $2 b i l l i o n l a st y e ar . . . we know this and we want a part of it." Apart from the demand for across the board increases the union is also seeking equal pay for women. Currently female employees of the Bell System receive less pay for the same jobs performed by men. Peggy Johnson, a qnion steward in Kenosha, said, "There is as much as a 62 per cent difference in wages." She blamed the national office for this situation and added, "The argument is that most women are holding down Mrs. Helen Gibson, Chief Operator in Kenosha assisting Sam Lupo and other supervisory personnel filling in for striking CWA operators. second jobs in the family, with husbands supporting them. But some of the women are supporting themselves and they have to pay for everything just like anyone else only they don't have anyone to help them." A union spokesman explained additionally that the company does not consider the operator to be as technically skilled as other employees. "The company says it's a lesser job," he said, "but the management was glad when the operators came back the last time." The spokesman admitted that the union had not been p u r s u i ng e q u a l p a y f o r women in the past but stated, "It's high time women are recognized by the company and the union." Of the 550,000 members of the CWA 220,000 are women, most of whom serve as operators. Mrs. Johnson explained that under current company policy a top operator with five years of training and experience on the job can earn a maximum of $106.50 (Continued on Page 6) by Marc Eisen of the Newscope staff You could ask whatever happened to student government, and probably the only people that could tell you what transpired would be those who were active in it. Which is to say that student government has given the appearance that someone tied a brick around its neck and threw it off a bridge. Because it hasn't been heard from since Jerry Rubin said education and excretion had a lot in common. Which occurred in late April. Newscope spoke to four members of the Student Government, President Tim Eaker, and student senators, Dean Loumos, Ken Konkol, and Gary Davis. The four represent a cross section of the views that are found in the government. They were asked to evaluate student government, to talk of its successes and failures. What was discovered was that there still is a student government at that. Except it hasn't had a formal meeting since May. There has been the subsequent failure to get a quorum (two-thirds of the members) at every planned meeting since then. The reason for this has been a combination of factors: Final examinations, incompatible schedules, vacation, work, members graduating, and the lackadaisical attitude of some members. Tim Eaker has had a change in his thinking since he took office. While he campaigned for the presidency on the basis that change could be affected through cooperation with the University, this faith seems to have been shaken. He told Newscope, "I've learned to be skeptical. My biggest disappointment has been the lack of cooperation from the other departments of the University. It almost appeared they didn't want a student government. They were fearful student government may attempt to rock the boat — which it may certainly do. There appears to be a complete air of paranoia around the University." He continued, "If I run again I don't think my overall views would change. I would still say the University has to be unified. There has to be meaningful student participation in the University. There also has to be a lot of faith and Whatever Happened to Student Government? assistance on everyone's part. "It's going to be up to the people how we get this," he asserted. We can either get it through faith, or we can get it through negotiations, or we may have to use other means. "Students are not bound by many of t he regulations the administration and the faculty are," he explained. We can bring pressure to bear through different activities in support of things we need. "I've become more skeptical that cooperation with the University is possible," he said, "but I still maintain it is possible." Student Senator Dean Loumos' attitudes have hardened more than Eaker's. He said, "If Eaker can't get any help from the administration, no one can. His mistake was thinking we could get help. If student government is going to be anything next year it has to realize you can't get any help from the University." He emphasized, "If you want to make change, you do it through threats. Threats of violence and violence. Mostly through the threat of it." He was asked if he was serious. He answered, "Yes. What I mean by violence is a strike, and everything that goes with it. That's the only thing that works." In evaluating student government, he said, "I don't know because we really didn't do very much. But for this campus it was excellent. I'm hesitant about embracing militancy. As far as that goes, we were excellent in not tearing down the school. Because if we were a bunch of militants we did poorly." He added, "I'm caught between the two, but I'm starting to lean to militancy." Ken Konkol's appraisal of student government was, "1 don't think it's really gotten underway yet. About the only thing they have accomplished is to give $125 to Jerry Rubin. The one big success it had was being formulated in the first place." The biggest danger to it, he feels, is student apathy. "Unless we dissolve the student apathy I don't see much Page 2 NEWSCOPE July 19,1971 TO THE To The Editor: Ho-hum; Barry is off again, on his tangent over the topless clubs, and trying to run people's lives. It must be Spring: (the elections are over)! I know how discouraging to the operators of the topless clubs it is to appear at the city council hearings and discover only themselves there to defend their entertainment, knowing only too well that back in their establishments there are hundreds of patrons enjoying the shows, who rightfully should be allowed as adults to enjoy any such entertainment they so desire. 1 would like to call the attention of the city council, once again, to the swimwear that they'll find at the public beaches, where every kid of any age can view! (Talk about double standards) If topless dancing is a crime how come the thousands of patrons, and the people who distribute their merchandise, aren't prosecuted for aiding and abetting? On May 25th Barry held another one of his public "hearings". I suppose that on the last hearing May 11th only a dozen of his supposedly 14,000 backers showed up. Now he's trying again, what a waste of time and money. Well this time we'll let all the "rightous" people know, why we've gone to the State Supreme Court and are willing and prepared to go to the United States Supreme Court. I'm sure the patrons of the topless clubs are letting themselves be "heard" by their continuous patronizing of these clubs. By denying these places Liquor Licenses will in no way stop the topless entertainment, the clubs would continue to operate without liquor, and it would iust mean another Kenosha - Racine BOOKS - NOVELS GREENING OF AMERICA by Ch arle s Rei ch THE COUPLE by M r. &Mrs. K CALIFORNIA GENERATION by J acqueline Briskin R-K NEWS AGENCY Newspapers - Paperbacks - Magazines 5816 Sixth Av e. & P ershing Plaza NEED BOOKS?

There was already a ruling in Los Angeles, Calif., by the supreme court, which read as follows, "Ban on Liquor for Nude Clubs Ruled Illegal", Mr. Barry is aware of this ruling, so if there is another law suit served upon the city there will be one man and one man only to blame, Mr. Frank Barry the 105h w ard Alderman of Racine. Thank You Charlene Kuipuo To The Editor: Have you been following the various hassles between Aid. Frank Barry of Racine and the nude bars, topless entertainment and bottomless entertainment?

If a mayor of any city, lets some aldermen disregard the American Constitution the way Aid. Barry does consistently, then I say by all means the federal court should and must step in, after all the city of Racine must honor the constitution, too. The only think I think is shameful is when a citizen of Racine even has to go to federal court to protect his rights as a American citizen. I think Aid. Frank Barry of the 10th Ward in Racine, should admit he acted wrong and against the constitution. If he keeps on insisting to battle the people in federal courts trying to take away their rights, then I say let him pay for the court cost out of his own pocket, and leave the tax money alone, we pay enough taxes already.

Frank Barry is well aware of this ruling, but he continually disregards it Now the question I would like to ask is: If Mr. Barry, a lawmaker himself, refuses to honor this decision made by a three judge federal court. Then he goes so far as to punish those who disagrees with the laws he makes, and challenges them through the courts. Now how are we suppose to respect this man? Mayor Huck of Racine, made a remark that the federal court should stay out of local government. This remark disgraces the whole system of d emocracy, used Studen t Governmen t (Con tin u ed f r om p a g e d future at all for student government."' Gary Davis, like Dean Loumos, was a member ol the Halloween party. His assessment was, "Not nearly the stuff I thought would get done has gotten done. Not remotely has it approached it. I'm really disappointed in that respect." He explained, "I'm not nearly disappointed in student government as I am in the people who composed it. They've displayed an unwillingness to respond to the needs and interests of the students." He said of the success of student government, "I think the People's Peace Treaty was a success in that it bore out a campaign promise of most people in the Senate. I think h sets the precedent for involvement in the community." Davis expanded, "I think if student government wants power it's going to have to go out and make students aware of it; that their own interests lie with a strong student government. We don't have that now. "I do believe that if student government is to be a leading organization, it must be in the vanguard. I don't believe student government can have a purely reflective role," he continued. It should also be creating and exploring new ideas. I think that was the main intention of the May Day action." Eaker disagrees with this view. Which in itself is a microcosm of t he split between him and the Luddites (the Halloween party). Eaker said, "Once a Senator is elected he seems to lose sight that he is there to serve the students. Whether their viewpoint is the same as his makes no difference. He's their voice." He is against the formation of student parties. "I'd rather see 17 s enators who have their own heads, rather than 17 senators who judge an issue by who proposed it." If a n evaluation of student government is to be made from speaking with four of its members, its successes might be that it does exist, and it did sponsor a successful May Day demonstration. It's failures would be foremost that it failed to stay in touch with the student body, and that its successes only numbered two. As for the attitudes of it, it would be primarily skepticism towards the administration. An attitude that was held firmly by all four, despite their political differences.

July 19,1971 NEWSCOPE Page 3 EDITOR To the Editor: I have been following events at Parkside since last December when the administration unsuccessfully attempted to fire 27 f aculty members. It seems to me that the administration would by now have recognized the bounds within which it can operate; apparently it has not. This spring they attempted to do the same thing again, only on a much smaller scale and in a much quieter manner. However, Dr. Russell Brokaw (one of the faculty members whose nonretention was announced this May) decided to present his side of his case in an open hearing. He did so most competently. I was therefore shocked to read in the last issue of Newscope that the nonretention decision concerning Dr. Brokaw had not been reversed. It's amazing that the Science Division Executive Committee could listen to three hours of factual testimony from Dr. Brokaw and still come up void. The fact that substantial proof was introduced to the committee showing that Chancellor Wyllie was more than confident in May of 1970 that Brokaw's contract would not be renewed, does not apparently represent prejudice to the committee. That Chancellor Wyllie is the Spiro Agnew of the University of Wisconsin, is quite evident, however. I have heard rumors that Dr. Brokaw is being urged to take his case to court. As a concerned member of this community, I support Dr. Brokaw and hope that other will, too. A concerned citizen To the Editor: On the Mayor's remark that federal courts should stay out of local governments. I would like to bring to the attention of the mayor Section 66.054 par. No. 14, in the Wisconsin State Statues (Municipal Law). There you'll find as follows: „ Court Reviews A. The action of any city council, village or town board, in granting or refusing liquor licenses, can be reviewed by the courts, and it also mentions the supreme courts, too. Maybe you and your aldermen on the license committee, Barry, Anzalone, Heck and Stanton, should study some law, before running off with your mouths. Terry McCue Darrell Borger Studying got you down? Take a break for the Newscope dance July 31. L I by Marc Eisen of the Newscope staff With a snicker, waterbeds have come to Racine and Kenosha. Three stores in the two cities sell them, Rip Van Winkles, 3701 60th street in Kenosha, the Earth Works, 625 Main street in Racine, and Melody's High Fashion, 2304 63 rd street in Kenosha. The waterbed, having a triad of virtues that spell success in the mass culture (it's new and part of the underground, it's a tactile experience, and it gives sex an extra bounce), has become a pop superstar in the tradition of the knapsacks, and Elton John. Keep in mind that the most famous waterbed advertisements in the National Media goes something like, "Two things are better in a waterbed. One is sleeping." Heh-heh. Which is not to emphasize that in all probability it is healthier to sleep on a waterbed than a conventional bed. business generated. He teaches sixth grade at Holy Rosary school in Kenosha during the rest of the year. His parther (who is his brother-in-law) just graduated from UW-Madison, and will enter medical school in the fall. Which all means, he said, they have too much at stake to be fast buck artists. Davis said he had a couple of reasons for going into business. One was that he had just gotten out of the draft a couple months ago, and he concluded, "I figure I'd lose two years in the army, so I decided to gamble on this." A second reason, he said, was, "You hate to go around with a college degree begging for a lousy summer job. Besides, I want to get some business experience. This is better than business school, or taking a class at Parkside. If I break even I'll be ahead." Melody Borom, who is the owner of What a waterbed consists of is a water-filled membrane of elastic high strength vinyl — in other words, a water mattress. A person lying on one displaces his own weight in the water, and has his weight evenly distributed over every part of his body in contact with the mattress. It contours to each individual's body shape, giving more support to the body's surface than a conventional bed. This being so because water is displaced from heavier parts of the body to lighter parts, giving support to areas like the small of the back, the neck, and the arms. What it's like is floating on your back in water. The three stores began to sell the waterbeds within the past few months. Ken Davis, who with Ed Scruggs owns Rip Van Winkles, opened for business July 2, and has sold between ten and 20 beds since then. Davis described the store as a summertime venture. Its future depends on the volume of Meldoy's High Fashion, says the waterbeds are a sideline to her beauty shop. She claims to have sold close to 100 beds in two months' time. The Earth Works is the only head shop in the area thus far to sell waterbeds. Russ Growthus, a co-owner of the shop, told Newscope they have been selling the beds for three months, and have been averaging about three or four sales a week, with the rate increasing as time goes on. While they. said it's mostly college age people who buy the beds, there have been adult buyers. Davis spoke of a man who came in and said he wanted to buy a bed for his teen age girls, and that was that. "He bought it like it was a carton of milk." Growthus said that almost half of his customers were adults, particularly those with back trouble and arthritis. What are people's reactions when they first see a water mattress? Growthus said, "The older people are skeptical. The young kids just giggle. Most people are hesitant to lie on one. They're afraid they're going to bust, but we encourage them to try it out." Marlene Volpendesta, who works at Meldoy's, said, "What they usually say is, 'Wow, it's really far out. What if it pops?' " Ken Davis told Newscope, "Reaction to it has been good, except for my mother-in-law — she says I'm going to lose my shirt selling them. What adults ask about them is, 'how are they for sex?', or else they say, 'I'm going to get up or I'll fall asleep.' One lady said it was spooky. I really couldn't logically convince her it wasn't." He added, "The only way for a person to find out what it is is to lay on it." The price of the cheapest waterbed is around $30.00 in all three stores — e xcept for Rip Van Winkles which will have a special sale price of $25.00 soon for the single size (3'3"x7'). The stores offer a vareity of sizes. Prices vary with the size and type of guarantee. The guarantee varies from five, seven, ten, 20 and 50 years in the different stores. The Earth Works is the only store to offer all sizes for $30.00. The King size (6'x7') costs as much as the single size. Russ Growthus explained it costs the manufacturers very little more to make a larger size as opposed to a smaller size. The price increases in the other stores is fairly substantial. But it takes more to have a waterbed than just a waterbed. You need a frame to hold it in, or else there's too much pressure.on the seams. And if y ou do spring a leak you need a liner in the bottom of the frame. Liners cost about $15, while the frames cost about $40. All the shops said many people build their own frames. There's more needed yet. If you don't have a foam pad, you're going to get pretty cold at night. The water in the bed eventually settles to room temperature — a bout 30 degrees cooler than your body. To absorb this you need a foam pad, which is about an inch thick. The pad costs about $10.00. None of the stores offer waterbed heaters. The cost of them is the prime reason for this. Growthus adds, "I don't like the idea of electricity and water together." The biggest drawback to waterbeds is their weight. When filled they weigh about 1,600 pounds. They hold about 250 gallons. When they're filled, it's obvious, they can't be moved. They're not advised for people who have houses with weak floors. Growthus told of a guy who had sprung a leak in his bed. He managed to drag it out to his porch so he could patch it there. The porch then collasped because of the weight. on July 22 SUMMERFEST $1-00 "Bloomsbury People" & "Raw Meat" Hwy. 38 Johnson Park Paf*p4 NEWSCOPE July 19,1971 I was always the kid in the neighborhood who opened a Kool-Aid stand on days when it seemed like bubonic plague hit the city. I didn't even have the kind of parents who would send someone out to buy drinks when my ego fell as low as my business. Even though Ma gave me the Kool-Aid, and the water was free, it still seemed like I was losing money. This harsh introduction into the world of capitalism left a definite impression upon me. Whenever I pass a business that is obviously failing or has already failed the test of popularity miserably, I feel genuine sympathy. In fact, I can feel bad any night I want, simply by driving around Kenosha and recalling recent "ghosts of the restaurant world". I magine I should establish a route through town as a public service to take future restaurant owners on so they can learn by others' mistakes. A few stops at former eating locations would include The College Inn, Franksville, The Cheyenne House, and Taco King. Another place that bit the dust was a hot dog haven called Lum's that once called 3315 - 52nd Street home. This place would have made almost anyone feel bad if waste in quantity bothers them, especially waste in the form of a brand new building designed for that chain. Lum's in Florida are nearly always big financial successes, I'm told. But I'm also quickly reminded "this ain't Florida". I was very glad to see another restaurant on that site months after Lum's folded. It was healthy to see that kind of courage in big business. The Bonanza Sirloin Pit was welcomed, even if only by myself, when it came to 3315 - 52nd Street. To check on their progress, Maggie and I ate at the Sirloin Pit during the middle of the by Paul Lomartire of the Newscope staff week. This is usually a good chance to see if a place is doing all right, business-wise, unless there are money saving gimmicks going on. There were enough people eating there that night so it didn't seem like eating at a Brewers' post-pennant victory party. It struck me that a second bargain steak place was making it. That started other ideas going through my head. Kenosha was apparently supporting two steak houses, even though they both borrowed a name from the same television show. The close name association, I concluded, was for a healthier rivalry. Pondorosa vs. Bonanza does have sort of a ring to it. After waiting in line a few minutes, we were asked by a western clad female what we wanted to order. The menu is on a big board that offers eleven meals from which to choose. Besides steak, they offer chicken, shrimp and fish, not to forget hamburgers. The prices range from $2.99 for a T-Bone steak to 69 cents for a Bonanza Burger. In between these two items, the prices hover around $1.59. After we told the girl what we wanted, she gave us plastic 'V' shaped cards with numbers on both sides. I thought that this was part of some sort of western gambling game to pass time while the food was cooked. I wanted to W1 " a trip to Abilene or something but I found out that the numbers are just to keep the orders I^was waiting for a number eight, a fish clatter ($1.59). Maggie had ordered a steak sandwich ($1.39), number five. With our meals the menu lists French fries, a salad or coleslaw and Texas toast. The last item mentioned could be called Iowa toast or New Jersey toast, as it isn't overly big, or even from Texas. Before I got the meal, I saw definite advantages that Bonanza had over their comnetitor Their selection offers a choice, including various steaks. And, a big advantage that might mean a lot, especially in Kenosha, is the fact that Bonanza allows an individual to wash his meal down with a beer. With this in mind, and satisfied stomachs, Maggie and I left. The prices seemed a little stiff to me, until the versatile excuse, inflation, popped into my head. If there is a hunger for a good steak, Maggie's recommendations on those used in sandwiches are favorable, and I would recommend the fish. Even if they didn t offer free trips or prizes with those numbers, I was satisfied that this business will appease most anyone. I would even have considered going back if I hadn't decided to open my own place. Soon I will open Cartwright's Cut-Rate Canteen, featuring Hoss' Heavy Hamburgers, (4 lbs. each), served by authentic cowgirls (shipped from Dallas) wearing only 46 g allon hats. My entry should prove to be very competitive and interesting in the bargain steak world. Especially some hot day, at high noon, on a dusty side street when Bonanza, Pondorosa and I realize this town ain't big enough for the three of us. CARNAL KNOWLEDGE Directed by Mike Nichols Jack Nicholson Candice Bergen Arthur Garfunkel Ann Margaret Jules Feiffer Film's growing interest in frank sex as a motivating force has appeared frequently in open markets now for about five years, and in foreign and underground films for about fifteen. The sexual arena still remained a primary stage in an upcoming genre of films dealing more with excitement found within the act, rather than with the psychological strain that this "momentary" excitement brings about. The 'New Morality' has found its latest foothold in the form of semihistorical critique, showing us first the wrong way, and no doubt, telling us later the right way. Now we are confronted with a reasonable facsimile of the past and even given time to ponder on what we have seen and bow our heads in shame. The punishment of disgust is dealt heavily to all of us when only some of us are at fault. It might be wise for the college aged viewer to quietly observe as though an outer space alien taking notes and nodding while those who must heed the lesson accept shame. While the title remains misleading, "Carnal Knowledge" is the container of s everal lessons. The most important of these is the one taught to the near middle aged people who can recall the chain of events that brought them to their present level of inadequacy. From their youth they are shown the fumbling first attempts at sexual contact, those same attempts that have been glorified to be touching, reminiscent of the Student Prince (Summer of '42, and, to an extent "Love Story). The older audience is then transported a little closer to the present, where the two caricatures of the extreme, Nicholson and Garfunkel, separate from college and each other, one marrying and the other "hot-lining" as a bachelor. The film continues with infrequent visits between the two old friends, Nicholson the visited, and Garfunkel the visitor. We are bombarded with the bachelor's references to "big tits" at ages 20, 30 and 40. Nicholson demonstrates a cultural role that insisted men find women that will smother them in flesh rather than personality. We are shown in a graphic fashion how the word LOVE is raped, twisted and manhandled, creating veritable hell on earth for those who participated. The parallel is completed as the married Garfunkel pops in on his old friend, relating the difficulties he has encountered with his wife. We see the same giggling, funbling males attempt to describe and understand a condition that they have created. In the end we see Nicholson as a burned out man and Garfunkel as a hollow individual seeking a cure that has come 20 years too late. He has grown a mustache and long hair and become involved in uncarbonated communal love. There is really very little to this film, because there is very little of the film that we haven't already experienced; at least now it has all been put together in a nicely analytic package. In the analysis the women are superficial and neurotic, the men are material and schizoid ... a pretty accurate picture of today, I suppose. If indeed I were a slightly older reviewer (say, 20 y ears) I would probably say a great many good things about this film, but, from my point of view the film can only be called correct. A c orrect film then is "Karnal Knowledge" . . . a lesson, too . . . and, a bad example. We have isolated the disease. What I will await is a cure. William Sorensen CAROL KING TAPESTRY The other day I was reading an article in one of the trade papers concerning the state of affairs in the record industry today. One general complaint was that the big powers (Capital, RCA) were sacrificing quality for quantity and that a really good record critic can find at least one flaw; something slightly lacking in any current release. If that statement is true, then there would be some obvious advantage being a not so good critic, but rather an average one. For example, I can say that on The songs are symphonies surrounding the poetic lyrics. It is the kind of music that you'll put on just before you go to sleep and end up listening to 'till four in the morning. Pure, delicate, fresh, sincere and beautiful. One might think that in recording Carol King's talent, it would be very hard to get musicians equal to the task of backing her up. While that may be true, it certainly wasn't a problem on this album. If you can escape concentrating on Miss King herself, you'll be amazed at the quality of the people in the background, by Bob Borchardt of the Newscope staff "Tapestry", I find it impossible to notice any flaws; that in my opinion it is perfect, without having to worry about my reputation as the boys from "Rolling Stone" might. While professional critics shy away from using superlatives and are very careful not to use anything that sounds like a generalization for fear of losing credibility, I myself, enjoying the freedom of ignorance, can say that "Tapestry" is the ultimate in refined and subtle beauty and that the entire album is brilliant without one gram of dead wax. If Leonard Feather said this, he might have to go back to playing. Carol King is a writer perfectly attuned to how and why music affects people. especially on bass. The highest point on the album, which is probably an inaccurate phrase to use since there is nothing that could be considered a low point, is the combination of geniuses; Miss King and James Taylor. Together, their music is something more than perfect, a marriage of sympathetic talents that achieve the unachievable. I can't help feeling that a person who is unable to see beauty in this music must be numb.

Something Mailer wrote: " ... one cannot conceive of a modern building growing old (does it turn dingy or will the colors stain?); there is no way to age, it can only cease to function. No doubt these buildings will live for twenty years and then crack in two. They will live like robots, or television set which go of order with one whistle of the wind." Greenquist Hall is the totalitarianism that Mailer writes about. It is not to say that architect of it is a fascist. It is to say that it is an example of the latent totalitariannism that is in the American psyche, particularly in the liberal and the technocrat psyches. What I'm saying is that America is becoming a totalitarian society. — and it won't necessarily only happen if the military engineers a coup, no, there are more forces that are propelling us almost inevitably to this. It's liberals who want to make the world safe for liberals, technocrats who want to wrap the world in Saran wrap, it's left wing fascists, it's narcs, it's food that has no taste, it's buildings that have no color.

And it proliferates in that new architecture which rests like an incubus upon the American landscape It was the first art to be engulfed by the totalitarians, who distorted the search of modern architecture for simplicity and converted it to monotony. It beheads individuality, variety, dissent, extreme possibility, romantic faith, it blinds visions, deadens instinct, it obiliterates the past It makes factories look lik e college campuses. It makes new buildings on college campuses look like f actories. It depresses the average American with the unconscious recognition that he is installed in a gelatin of totalitarian environment which is bound to deaden his most individual efforts. — Norman Mailer The Idol and the Octopus Sit in the concourse of Greenquist Hall some night when it's deserted and the building is silent. Sit there quietly and listen. Sense what the building is. Feel what the vibrations are that it given off. Then look about quickly.

It s white. The tile floor is white, the walls are white, the ceiling is white, the wash basin is NEWSCOPE by Sandy Principe Twenty years ago economist Seymour Harris warned that by the middle 'sixties there would be a surplus of college graduates on the ob market. The first sign, he said, would be an overabundance of teachers. The Department of Labor reported such an overabundance in September, 1969. Later reports indicated an excess of professional personnel in many other areas. Men and women with recent doctorates, particularly in the sciences, are hoped for, the salary may be lower than they like. They will certainly not, as in the past, have jobs conferred upon them. A possibly incomplete but telling poll of the 944 men who graduated from the letters and science division of the University of. Wisconsin last year showed that only 174 were working full time; and of that number, only about half had the kind of job they wanted. "Normally a placement director is wined and dined by firms wanting to ingratiate themselves with the institution," says Cornell Placement among those hard hit by unemployment. The Cooperative College Registry in Washington, a placement service for college teachers, reports the number of Ph.D. candidates is up 25 per cent over last year while the number of job vacancies is down 25 per cent. These statistics are relative and opportunities vary in the different fields. The fact is our colleges and universities are graduating more people than our present job market requires. The largest graduating class in history — an educated army of 186,000 — is entering America's certified credential society and learning to its sorrow that a degree is no longer a guarantee of a suitable job. Actually, the high ranking seniors of -71 — at least those of the best schools — will have no serious trouble finding employment. But, they may have to work harder at selling themselves to an employer, the job may not be the one they had Chief John Munschauer. "This year no one even bought me lunch." Although Corporate recruiters still visit campuses, their numbers have decreased tremendously over the past few years. At Princeton, there were 85 recruiters this spring compared to 169 in 1968. The engineering school at the University of Kansas greeted 55 recruiters this semester, down from 255 three years ago. The job offerings reflect this crisis situation even more effectively. A survey of 140 U.S. colleges and universities indicated that between March, 1970, and March, 1971, job bids for male B.A.s dropped 61 per cent and a staggering 78 per cent of Ph.- D.s. Actual hiring will be down less than these statistics suggest — probably 25 per cent at the B.A. level. Every year, more and more people enter colleges or universities. Yet, 80 per cent of all jobs available in the U.S. are within the capabilities of those with high school diplomas. "Even in periods of continued economic growth," says a recent report of the Commission on Human Resources and Advanced Education, "more than a fourth of the college graduates would be available to upgrade the educational level of occupations." What this means is that even without a recession, 25 per cent of all graduates will be working at jobs for which a college education is not needed at all. What does all this mean? There are two interpretations as to the source of the dilemma. Some are confident that jobless Ph.D.s are a temporary Sumptom of the recession, and will disappear with a small upswing in the economy, or with the expansion of the universities in this decade. I personally feel any expansion would simply reinforce a top heavy spiral. The less optimistic see them as harbingers of a worse crisis to come, as the nation's schools continue to produce more specialists than industry and academe can absorb. Reactions to this job scarcity vary from nonchalance to panic and anger. Many graduates have adopted a waitand-see attitude toward the future. Feeling that we can only accept the present as is, and unwilling or unable as of yet to join the nine to five conventional career club, they are directing their energies in what has been labeled alternative careers. These include jobs (mostly low paying) with a basic commitment to service or to social change. Since three-fourths of the graduating class have B.A.s in the humanities, liberal arts seniors are the most bewildered. According to John Berry, a senior at Wisconsin's Beloit College, "The standard joke is that after you graduate you can either work for Yellow Cab in town or for the security force on campus." Time. What then is the value of a college education? While the lack of a college degree does not necessarily negate the intellectual qualifications of an applicant, its possession is a recommendation to the prospective employer as to the graduate's determination and stamina. On the other hand, an education is not limited to a four-year-degreegranting program. Herein lies the true value of higher education. Once this is realized and accepted, the anger diminishes — an anger often directed at the colleges that trained the students to no seeming purpose. However, the U.S. is still highly productive and has an enormous potential for employment — 21,741 different jobs are described in the latest U.S. Dictionary of Occupational Titles, and 82 million are working at them. There are Federal and State government programs which provide jobs in every professional field with salaries that compete with private corporations. Only a small percentage of these thousands of jobs are even known to the average college student. Thus, this is a time for the revival of guidance counseling. With updated statistics and trend projections, counselors are capable of guiding students; pointing out areas in their field that may be more open than others. New efforts are being made in this direction and should be taken advantage of. Parkside provides such services through the Student Affairs Office. The counselors here have much material at their disposal and are readily available upon appointment. Strike (Continued from Page 1) per week. Currently there are no opportunities for operators to advance further without leaving the switchboard operations. Because of this many union representatives are calling 1971 "the year of the operator'. The union in turn expresses little hope that women employees will be paid equally with men, but they expect to reduce the difference significantly throu gh con tra ct negotiations.

The 18 hole layout, situated on an open tract of land, may at first glance look easy to a long hitter, but what the course lacks in natural barriers, has been compensated for by a series of traps and water hazards that necessitate accurate shooting for good scoring. The new course has four different sets of tees for each hole, giving the course a great deal of flexibility and a wide range of difficulty levels. The different sets of tees include the regular, the women's, the Sunday and the championship tees. When the championship tees are used the course stretches out to 6,915 yards, making it one of the longest in the state. From the regular tees the course runs 6,390 yards, which is similar to the yardage at Johnson's Park. From the ladies tee the course is only 5,410 yards — about 1,500 yards less than the longest tees. Adding to the difficulty of the course are the 65 strategically located sand traps. A long ball straying from the fairway will likely hit a trap. Trees are not yet a major factor on this course because they are short and very small, but there will be a big problem of tree planting going on in the next two years. In eight to ten years the trees will provide hazards for inaccurate shots Ives Grove Links Open to Public Page as well as offering more shelter and shade - two things that the course has very little of at present. Seven lagoons are placed in areas that will catch errant shots. The lagoons have an additional purpose. All the tees and greens are water fed from the lagoons. Water is pumped into the lagoons, then comes to the surface and is exposed to the open air for several hours. Then it comes into the watering system warm — making it ideal for watering fairways. The complete fairway from tee to green can be watered at intervals. Longer holes may have five or six water sprinklers placed right into the fairways. Shorter holes have from two to four. Not all the sprinklers are on at one time. One comes on and another shuts off. All of them are run on an automatic time clock controlled setup. Fairway conditions are not good yet, but that is to be expected on a new course. They have had about one and a half years of growth. Some of the spots that took hold right away are in good shape, while other areas still need time. The course will have a rough area bordering the fairways and it will be cut about two or three inches, which is not very long. There will be a defined rough, although roughs tend to slow down play. This is a country golf course and the public doesn't want to spend five or six hours on a golf course. There will be a definite line for the fairways and when the trees start to grow they will further serve to outline the fairways. At present things are very wide Half M iler t o Attend Parkside Three sport star Bill Carlson of Rhinelander has agreed to attend the University of Wi'sconsin-Parkside, Track Coach Bob Lawson announced recently.

To make it possible for the player to see where he is supposed to go, every tee is marked with an outline of the hole showing the location of water hazards and sand traps. The yardage is given for the respective tees on the colorful markers. Greens are much larger than most around this area, but they are in good condition and the putts seem to hold true. They are not unfair, as they offer a true test of putting ability. Tees, which are constructed somewhat similar to the greens, are well built out here. They have a good base which consists of such elements as sand, gravel, and black dirt. Tees have to repair themselves because of the divots that are taken off of them. If constructed properly, they will do a better job of this. Because of the automated sprinkling system the maintenance staff can concentrate on other areas of course repair. The course now has one greenskeeper who takes care of the entire maintenance staff. Recently there have been 16 people working on maintenance, while the normal crew is expected to be reduced to about 12. Presently a trailer services as the clubhouse, but the permanent clubhouse should be started later this year and will probably be housed completely which will allow for work to continue through the winter, and it could be likely be open by next spring for the dolf season. Aside from course maintenance, plans are for for a club manager rather than a professional. A pro usually has such duties as care of the pro shop and working on his own concessions, whereas a manager generally spends more time in the building dealing with all phases of the operation, and is more of a clubhouse manager than a professional and a manager combination.

Rosandich, whose duties will include coordination of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics directors' meetings in March, 1972, also was named to a three year term as Area Four and District 14 representative. Rosandich pointed out that the greatest interests among athletic directors lie in the problems of finances for athletic programs and drug abuse among athletes, coaches and trainers. "Everyone is experiencing a budget squeeze right now and solutions will have to be found for that," Rosandich noted, "but drug use among athletes is also a matter of great concern." Rosandich will work in cooperation with Dr. Charles M. Morris of the NAIA national office in finalizing the agenda and securing consultants for the athletic directors' workshop March 13-14. Joining him on the committee are Carnie Smith, Kansas State College, chairman; Bill Baker, Arkansas Tech., vice chairman; and Steve Senko, Rutgers University at Newark, coordinator. pionship.

When he checks out a call to a store late at night, he never knows what may be waiting for him. The chances of his getting ^hot or maybe killed during working hours, would not even attract a bad odds maker. When he tells a group of kids not to block a sidewalk, he never knows if one of them will turn and call him a 'pig'. He must bridge the gap between the old and the young, set standards with his own actions, and see to it that his job is carried out with life and death efficiency. Officer Ray Hamm is employed by the Kenosha Police Department. He is what is popularly called a "public servant". Between the hours of 2 and 10 p.m., Officer Hamm is the downtown area beat cop. His function from day to day as he puts it "is to control traffic flow, and generally be present, showing the badge, as it is sometimes called in police circles." "The very fact that a policeman is there walking around sometimes tends to dissuade those with quasi criminal feelings or tendancies," he went on to say. Though this isn't foolproof, it is a deterrent, he said. Ray Hamm joined the police force when he was 33. He has been on the force for more than three years. When he came to the job, he had a high school education, assorted technical school experience in the field of electronics. Since joining the force, he has received an associate degree from the Kenosha Technical Institute in police science. He attended Parkside and took courses in deviant sociology and managerial data processing. His studies then led him to Michigan State University, where he received credits in a class, Comparative Criminal Justice, in an effort to get a will come along as we prove ourselves as a service organization," he said. While attending college, Ray Hamm has been a family man. While not getting paid on any sdrt of scale in relation to his educational gains, he has supported a family which includes five children. Last Working Class Hero Officer Ray Hamm To serve and protect' day activities. Bobies conduct themselves as more or less referees," he went on to explain. He said the British police officer as an individual acts "more as a friend, a neighbor, a chap that lives in your area, works in your area and you see him every day, so he's not a stranger." Darrell Borger Officer Ray Hamm four year degree. This fall, he hopes to enroll at Carthage College to finish the requirements for his Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology. In discussing his education, Officer Hamm said, "Professionalism in the police ranks is not pleasant to have or nice to have; it's a necessity in an age when the people are more intelligent and advanced. They deserve what they are paying for." "Although I don't quite think we're paid for professionalism yet, this summer his finances allowed him to study police science in England, in connection with Michigan State University. While in England at the University of London, he studied "the association of society to its police department and how that police department functions," he said. "Their (law enforcement officers) primary aim or goal is minimal force at all times, which seems to be the cradle of the English police department. Minimal interference in public day-toAnyone who is familiar with Officer Hamm during his hours on duty can detect this philosophy in the way he does his job. With the exception of restless Kenosha teens who haggle with Officer Hamm on weekends over loitering laws downtown, many Kenoshans look upon this police officer as a friend. Interested in the youth, Officer Hamm offered, "I don't think the kids are any different than when we were younger, except I possibly had a little more respect for the law." "I think the kids are waiting a little too much for somebody else to do something for them and there's nothing free in this world," he continued. "I mean it's up to you to do some thinking, and they've got the intelligence if they would just put it to work instead of saying woe is me, poor me." After having discussed police work in general, the interview took a turn to more personal views. I asked Officer Hamm if he thought the press treated the law enforcement officers fairly, and he said that in his own opinion he felt that newspapers did not intentionally try to make policemen look bad, but the phrasiology connotated one thing while saying another. He also felt that public relations have become very, very important in his day-today work. He credited college with helping him keep in touch with the youth today, for example, and said that other officers are attending colleges in the area. Officer Ray Hamm then went on to sum up the way he looks at his job. "I'm a human being," he said, "the same as a college student. I don't want to be stereotyped. I'm an individual, but by the same token I have to wear a uniform. I'm not ashamed of it, I'm proud of it; it represents my society, not my police department, but a society that employs this police department as a means of controlling its discipline factor. This is what we are here for, our services and to protect." This is the philosophy of a man who has a job that hardly anyone wants.
