UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document Funds Approved f or Newscope by Larry Jones Copy Editor In a last ditch effort to prevent Newscope from dying a sudden death, Parkside's Student Government Association (SGA) Wednesday approved a measure to give the paper $2,000. The measure was approved unanimously by SGA in response to a plea from newly elected Editor John Koloen. In a letter to each senator, Koloen said: "We are currently rising out of an economic slump which has resulted in a debt of almost $5,000, with assets of nearly $4,000. This last figure, however, is misleading in that it represents accounts receivable, many of which cannot be collected because the advertiser has gone bankrupt. We have been running in the red for over a year, but have managed to trim the total debt from a high of $8,000 last September to its present level. Unfortunately, our printer, and principal creditor, has informed us that unless a very substantial portion of the debt is paid by the end of January, he will not print the paper." According to Koloen, $4,000 of the debt was inherited from the old Collegian and the previous operators of Newscope. As the surviving Parkside student paper, the current editors were still responsible for paying the money back. The $2,000 granted by SGA will be immediately applied to the debt and put the paper back on its feet, Koloen said. The money itself will come from SGA's Student Group Support Funds, which stood at $4,104.09 as of the Wednesday, January 19, meeting. According to Koloen, Newscope is going to lease its own computerized composing machine at a cost of approximately $150 p er month, which is substantially less than is now paid for the same service from the printer. Leasing of the machine will not only save money, but will also improve the quality of the paper by allowing for more comprehensive copy and proof-reading, will speed the entire make-up process by allowing stories to be justified and pasted into proofs as they come in — rather than everything being done in one day at the printer, will give the editors more time and flexibility, and will also give Newscope an opportunity to raise further revenue by obtaining contracts to do composing work for others in the area, Koloen said. Newscope is planning to present a request for additional funds to several foundations in the near future, in an effort to insure stability and selfsufficiency for the paper in the coming years, Koloen said. CCC Discover Flaws in Rules, SGA Gains P artial Control O ver Money by Marc Eisen of the Newscope staff Student Government has gained a measure of c ontrol over the portion of t he segregated fees intended for Student Support Groups — b ut not without first going thru what has to be considered the most bizarre and contradictory series of events of the school year. The funds represent an estimated $4,104. SGA will be able to divide the money up among student groups with the concurrence of the Campus Concerns Committee (CCC), and the approval of Assistant Chancellor Allen Dearborn. Dearborn indicated in a meeting with SGA leaders that if the Student Senate approved an appropriation and the CCC concurred with it, he would go along with the decision. But before this method of dispersing the funds was agreed upon, SGA leaders and members of the Administration were locked into a bitter argument that saw SGA accuse Dearborn and the Director of the Business Office, Erwin Zuehlke, of lying to them and deceiving them of how the funds could be obtained. Zuehlke, in turn, accused the President of SGA, Dean Loumos, and Treasurer Danny Trotter of lying to the CCC and misrepresenting to them what he had told SGA about their proposal to disperse the funds. The CCC, a joint faculty-student committee that deals with student life and interests on campus, met last Monday night for the first time of the academic year. It is composed of seven faculty members, five students, and the Dean of Students, or his representative. It was prevented from meeting first semester because the SGA had not presented the Chancellor a list of students from which to make the student selections. After the Committee had chosen Marion Mochon, anthropology, as its chairwoman, Loumos, a member of the committee, asked that the first item on the agenda be that the CCC give its power to make a budget for student organizations to Student Government. Loumos told the committee that Erwin Zuehlke, the director of the Business Office, had told him soon after his election to the SGA presidency, that as of July 1 there was an estimated $6,400 available for student support groups (This is determined by a formula that allocated $.93 from each full time student's tuition for the first semester, and $1.00 for the second semester. A different formula is used for part time students.). Loumos said that Zuehlke had told him that while the moneywas there, there were no procedures to disperse it to student groups, and that it was unclear how the money would be dealt out. He said then SGA began to formulate procedures to handle budget requests. A copy of them was passed out to Committee members. Noting in his speech that last year's CCC had voted to dissolve itself because they felt many duties of the Committee could be handled by Student Government, he asked that the authority to make a budget be given to SGA. Members of the committee had discovered prior to this that the committee was set up so that the faculty was always in the majority — if m ore students than faculty showed up for a meeting, the number exceeding the faculty couldn't vote. Marion Mochon, herself a member of the codification committee of the Faculty Senate that structured all student-faculty committees, described the CCC as being "poorly codified" Loumos said further SGA had spoken with the University lawyer in Madison to have him check out their budget request form for any possible loopholes. He suggested they add a clause in which (Continued on Pagetf) University of Wisconsin - Parkside WARNING!

Volume 6 Number 3 January 24, 1972 The Psychic Circus by Jim Koloen of th e Newscope staff ESP is slowly wending its mysterious way into the thick entangled maze of psychology as a valid phenomenon of the human brain, scientistphilosophers as diverse as Aldous Huxley and Timothy Leary have been 2ply intrigued by it and other parapsychological phenomena. Newscope got into the act about a year ago, when it presented a two part series concerning Kenosha's self-proclaimed psychic-in-residence, Normal Slater ESP. The timid looking psychic with weird peepers, seemed to have demonstrated his faculty for Extra Sensory Perception to various Newscope staffers, and the impression many of them came away with was one of bewildered awe. Since that time, many people have consulted Slater on the psychic world, and many of them have since related incidents to me in which Slater revealed things that no one but themselves could have possibly known. Others have indicated him as a fraud at worst, and a lousy psychic at best. Personally, I don't care either way, so with this in mind I took the assignment to report on Norm Slater's ESP lecture held at the Vogue Theater Sunday night, January 16. I'd predicted that few people would pay the $1.50 admission charge. As it turned out I was wrong, either that or a lot of people snuck in. The large crowd was composed of the weirdest collection of freaks I've ever encountered at one time, under one roof. Beside the usual motley crew of hippie gigglers, there were silent and intense longhair believers, with the remainder of the seriously interested audience made up of coiffeured middle aged housewives and psychic dilletantes, elderly rotund matrons, truckdriver types, young straights dressed in their going out duds, with their snazzed up young ladies in tow, and of course Norm himself. It was really quite a collection to behold. When word got out that I was a reporter. Norm's two managers accosted me, and demanded to know what I was going to write. Rather than explain that I didn't know yet, I decided to take the more impressive freedom of press route. I invoked the prior censorship case of the U.S. v. New York Times, et. al. The very paranoid and excited managers of the psychic went away for a consultation with Norm, neither of them understanding what the New York Times had to do with it. Finally the psychic himself granted me an audience. Accoutered in a purple panoply, Norm told me that he was simply afraid I'd put ESP down. I explained that I didn't care either way, thinking that if he's a psychic he ought to know what I'm going to write anyway, and that maybe I should ask him. But maybe he already read that question in my mind, so I decided mum's da woid. I asked him what he'd been doing with himself lately. He told me about the classes in "development of conscious awareness" he'd been teaching at KTI and RTI. He also invited me to come along on a research expedition to the Bermuda Triangle this summer. I politely said I'd think about it. After shaking hands with me seven separate times, I thanked him for his indulgence, and wormed my way through a small hallway lined with young devotees, waiting to see the master. Out in the audience, I scribbled impressions while waiting for Norm's entre. The program was divided into two parts: The first half consisted of a brief biographical sketch of the psychic followed by a panel "discussion", and a demonstration of ESP. The (Continued on Page 8) Page 2 NEWSCOPE January 24, 1972 EDITORIAL - Friends or Enemies I + HPf It's strange what the sight of a tape recorder will do to a Parkside administrator. There's a great gnashing of teeth, a bubbling of anger, finally an eruption of indignation — My God, tape record the conference? Never! They rise in mass — We'll walk out if you tape record this! they threaten. Wow, you say to yourself. You remember the time the poet — black nationalist Leroi Jones spoke at Carthage — You'll capture my spirit if you record this, he had warned solemnly as he forbid any taping. Yes, that must be the key, the point of speculation. The administrators must be incarnates of the devil! You don't see them in mirrors, you can't record their voices. More than one paranoid's suspicions would be confirmed . . . You ask — Why can't it be recorded? The assistant Chancellor answers: We're here to discuss the problems of Student Government. We don't know what other questions you would ask. Tony Totero answers: I have allowed Newscope to record interviews with me in the past, and things haven't come out as they were intended. — When did this happen? you ask Tony — This is not the place to go into it, he replies. Alright, you think, maybe this deserves a story in the future: Tony Totero Tells How Newscope Has Wronged Him. The Director of the Business Office, Erwin Zuehlke, scores it finally — We know why you want it recorded. You don't trust us. Ah, yes, you nod in agreement, the answer at last — You don t trust us. He's summed it all up — You don't trust us. Yup, you're right, you think. We don't trust you. Now the climoA: Dearborn says — I'll tell you this, if the discussions we have at this meeting are printed in Newscope, it will be the last time we have this type c' meeting. Kapowie. It's crystal clear now. Why record it? Example 1: Approximately two months ago, Dean Loumos says that Zuehlke told him money was available for student organizations — except it was unclear who would deal it out, and what procedures would be used to do it. Loumos says that Zuehlke suggested SGA draw up the guidelines for the utilization of the money. Two months later, Zuehlke denies saying this, and lo and behold, he reveals procedures had existed all along for the utilization of the money. About $2,000 of the supposedly untouchable money is discovered spent. Some probable solutions of the conundrum are: (1) Zuehlke lied to SGA at the first meeting, (2) SGA lied about what Zuehlke told them at the first meeting, (3) SGA misunderstood what Zuehlke told them, (4) Zuehlke mistakenly gave SGA the wrong information. What is the truth? What actually occurred? It's unknown, almost undiscoverable at this point. How could this have been avoided? The meeting could have been recorded, and the confusion would have been avoided. Example 2: A Newscope reporter is working on an investigative story on a Parkside administrater. He interviews another administrater, who refuses to allow the discussion to be taped. Some damaging information is revealed in the interview. A few weeks later the reporter checks back with the adQ) U O SPECIAL I • Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 9a.m.—4p.m. a schooner or a bottle or a glass and a steak sandwich or a bratwurst or a b eefburger and trench fries or potato salad $1.15 u Z) O The Brat Stop 'The Brut is where its at' N O R T H W E S T C O R N E R O F HIGH W A Y S 1-94 AND open 9 a.m.—12 p.m. Ava ilab le for f r a t e ' n ' t y or sorority p arties 50 ministrater to reverify the information.

He asks the administrater again |n the end, administrater denies emphatically ever having said . the reporter doesn't use the quote - it's too questionable. But how to explain what happened? (1) The administrater actually did say it, but lied in enying (2) The reporter lied in claiming he had said (3) The reporter misunderstood what he had saidI the tr • (4) The administrater gave the wrong information th but denied later having said it. Mnw Where lies the truth? At this point it's ,nd,st '"9 u,sh« bl®; . could this have been avoided? The interview could have been tape recorded. . ... . + ,t If the absolute truth itself is beyond recovery at this point,, at least it is possible to consider who would profit the most by the tru being obscured — the administration or the students. First, it has to be recognized that the students may ave misunderstood what was told to them. The fact that they have less of a knowledge of the workings of the University than the administraters gives them an incomplete perspective from which to comprehend things. A misunderstanding is possible. But the students didn't profit from the misunderstandings, the administraters did. In the first case, SGA lost total control of money for student clubs, while a third of the money had already been spent on peripheral items. In the second case, damaging evidence against an administrater was denied legitimacy. Furthermore, it was the administraters who prevented an objective record from being made, not the students. A determination of who is lying is impossible to make. Then there is Dearborn's intimidation of Newscope — you prinf anything said in this meeting and this will be the last meeting. The implication seems clear — it's better to keep the student body ignorant of a meeting that greatly affects them than to have them informed of it. Newscope, of course, rejects this. Our aim is not to insure ignorance on key issues among students, but rather to inform them of the issues. An open marketplace of information is the best environment for important decisions to be made within. If people are offended by this, we can only reply they don't realize what newspapers are for. We point out in conclusion; it has been certain administraters that have prevented an objective record of key meetings with students from being made; it has been these administraters that have benefitted from the subsequent obfuscation of what was said in these meetings. We believe it has been these administraters, and not the students, that have changed their stories from one meeting to another. Whether they lied maliciously, or made honest mistakes is known only by them. The fact is that we believe their stories have changed. So, ultimately, Zuehlke was right — we don't trust the administraters. They burned us once, they burned us twice, if the burn us for a third time, we're fools. We, as students, can realistically only conclude that these people can not only be our friends, they can also be our enemies.

Very strange. That's what any student with normal intelligence would have to say concerning the situation they face when dealing with the Parkside Bookstore. Strange, that there are 27 booklists for approximately 3,700 students, 25 of those booklists were printed up by student gov't, (with the cooperation of a few secretaries and the Duplicating and Processing Dept.). About four weeks ago PSGA decided to attempt to set up a book exchange in the Student Act. Bldg. To get such an exchange off a booklist was a necessity. Further research uncovered legal problems with the university in running such an exchange. Apparently it would be in violation of a contract between the university and the bookstore. So the booklists went from faculty to administration to the bookstore. It was "private property" and was denied to student government. Constant pressure by PSGA resulted in an agreement from Ass. Chancellor Dearborn, Jewel Echalbarger, and Anthony Totero promising that a complete booklist would be available to students 3 days prior to registration. But everyone knows promises are made to be broken; or to keep disenchanted students quiet. Nobody ever explained why the list wasn't printed, but most of us can guess. So on Monday and Tuesday (10th and 11th of January) the PSGA with the help of the secretaries printed 25 booklists and made them available around the campus. Without a booklist the students are forced to buy their books at a bookstore which has lost $20,000 in their past operations. That means you and I are paying higher prices to make up for their losses. I hope that all students will react to this injustice by taking the time to write a letter to Ass.

Bruce Volpintesta Vice-President, PSGA For The Record idi MUSIC HOUSE I II I I I \ i k ' 1 1 I N v • £ IN > Downtown Kenosha 1 1 ' Muskie Scene by Paul Lomartire Feature Editor Burton Scott, Kenosha's District Attorney, stood at the entrance of the United Auto Workers all purpose hall the night of January 18th. He was greeting strangers, well wishers and acquaintances in his capacity as a "Muskie for President" organizer. Twitches of uneasiness seemed to infect the D.A. between handshakes and casual greetings. The minutes were piling up on the wrong side of seven o'clock. After cancelling one Kenosha appearance weeks before, Senator Edmund Muskie was almost a half an hour late. Many of the individuals in the large room were unconcerned and unaware of the elapsing time. An older rotund, cigar smoking gentleman was leaning against a table talking to a friend he obviously had not seen in some time. Every so often he would turn and shout hello to someone just coming in, and they would see his pin. Attached to his green shortsleeve shirt was a political button featuring a donkey producing a cloud if ill smelling gas. Within the cloud, on the very large pin were the words, "Nixon gone with the wind in '72" On the other side of the room, a girl was beginning to drink her third free beer, a feature of the Muskie rally. She turned to her companion and asked if a "Muskie" was a fish. The companion, a college aged male, just laughed and asked the girl when the rally was to start. She thought seven, but as long as the free beer held out, she said she didn't mind if the candidate was late. Clusters of. individuals sat, stood, miled about, and talked. Burton Scott began to appear restless as he continued shaking hands, though periodically glancing over the heads out the glass entrance doors into the darkness. Two young Muskie workers, finished with last minute details, had taken up a vigin in the crisp January air, standing at the building's main entrance staring blankly at Washington Road. They were hoping to spot a line of official looking cars — one of them carrying their candidate. A boy dressed in a blazer, wearing freshly pressed pants, with his hair very neatly parted, played "Roll Out the Barrel" on an organ supplied for the evening by the Hammond Organ Studios. He didn't look to be much older than Little League age. The boy alternated furnishing music with an adult that could have been his father. The two kept a steady flow of polkas and old favorites coming out of the organ, making the delay seem short. A teenage girl wearing a simple pink dress strolled about the gymnasium sized room carrying a stack of reproduced charcoal drawings and a money box. With an appealing smile, she approached most everyone, asking if they would like to buy a sketch of Ed Muskie done by Kenosha artist George Pollard. The drawings were fifty cents, ideal for framing. Meanwhile, at the entrance, the shortsleeved Muskie volunteers talked to each other, neither appearing to be listening to the other. Burton Scott was still shaking hands with those who were arriving about half past seven. A partition, which had closed off about a quarter of the hall, had to be opened, as rows of people three and four deep began forming behind the few hundred chairs that were occupied. A cheer went up from the crowd as the partition slid open. The two young Muskie workers still waiting, registered looks of shock when they heard the cheering. They must have thought the candidate had somehow gotten past their blank stares. They were relieved to know that only a new portion of the room had made an appearance. At twenty-nine minutes past seven, four American Motors products slowly made the way up a small hill from the west on Washington Road. The cars swung into the driveway of the union building, slowly heading for a back entrance. Senator Edmund Muskie had arrived. Smiles hit the Muskie workers, their flesh a ruddy color having been exposed to the cold. They loudly announced the candidate had arrived. A grin streamed across Burton Scott's face, as he shook the last few hands with a confident vigor which had been slowly draining from him in the last half hour. The rally was to begin. Detectives from the Kenosha Police Department kept photographers and other assorted bodies away from the entrance Muskie was approaching. The door opened, in came members of the senator's staff, Muskie himself sandwiched between the front and back ranks. Muskie wore a broad politicians' smile as he was greeted by the twenty or so people in the side hall with random cheers, popping flashbulbs, assorted clapping, and a few handshakes by those who had weaseled past the detectives. He wore a perfect fitting dark blue suit, traditional black shoes, a white shirt and silk blue tie, tied in an almost perfect Winsor knot. His face had deep lines cutting into it. A tired glaze dulled the color of his eyes, and there were noticable bags under each one. The wind had arranged his hair in an inJ a unary 24, 1972 teresting disarray, but he quickly used a free hand to push it back into shape, a part forming like magic. Burton Scott whisked the Senator into a room at the right of the door he had just entered. The room was marked "Board Room". Muskie was to meet the Executive Board of the United Auto Workers, Local 72, headed by Ralph Daum. The board had endorsed the Presidential hopeful earlier in the month. Word reached the main hall that the Senator had arrived. There was a bustle of movment as some people went to locate signs to wave when Muskie came in; "Kenosha for Muskie", "UAW for Ed", "ESM in '72". The candidate came out of the conference room smiling. He shook hands in the hall, upon entering the large room full of cheering people, and on his way to his seat near the podium. As soon as he was seated, the artist about fifteen feet to his right began sketching the Senator. The screams, shouts, applause, yelps and bobbing signs made those in the Muskie organization smile, from the football player sized bodyguard types standing near him to Mr. Scott, the Kenosha based organizer. The Mayor of Kenosha presented the Senator from Maine with a pin replica of Wisconsin. Local dignitaries were introduced, Ralph Daum spoke, wife of the slain civil rights leader Medger Evers spoke, and finally, almost an hour off schedule, Senator Edmund Muskie began to tell the crowd why they were right in supporting him, and why he wanted more support, enough to win the primary in April. The speech, comprised of human interest stories, a joke, and promises was not interrupted often by audience response. The only rousing cheers came after Muskie pointed out Nixon failures in economics, foreign relations and the war. He called for an all out effort by all Democrats to unite to rid the populus of Nixon leadership. The predominently blue collar audience came to life with solid response. Hubert Humphrey's 1968 running mate did not answer or ask for questions from the audience. He spoke to the crowd without the benefit of notes NKWSCOl'K 1'anc 8 or a prepared speech. The content of the speech was accepted with mixed emotion, but when it was over, there was no question Mr. Muskie was through speaking. The conclusion of the speech sent some individuals to the exits, but there were those who had bought the original, reproduced charcoal sketches that they were determined to get autographed. Others simply wanted to slap the man from Maine on the back, wish him luck, and shake his hand. A student reporter was determined to get an interview, and the Muskie staff was equally determined to get their man to an exit through a path previously cleared through a sea of empty, non-folding chairs. A mass of humanity had grown fifteen deep around the Presidential candidate immediately after his final - words of the speech. Muskie staffers waved frantically at ^ the tall, stocky Senator, but to no avail. ° The path that had been cleared for his m exit was to remain clear and void of z everything, as the Senator headed for m the wrong exit through the middle of the z few hundred chairs, autographing, and handshaking his way into disaster. A woman who looked about fifty who was to later admit she had waited six months to shake Muskie's hand, leaped for the Senator, catching the lapel of his dark blue suit. A man, back-peddling a few steps ahead of the human beehive, stumbled, fell, and was buried by chairs, causing the small army to head a few degrees further off course into still more chairs. The young reporter, determined to get exclusive statements from the man running for President, almost hit his subject in the mouth with his microphone, as the pushing and shoving was beginning to alarm the few detectives and aides trying to protect the candidate. Muskie, realising he was heading into impending doom, used the advantage of his height to seek out a new route, while shaking hands and signing autographs. The members of his staff who had engineered an almost flawless entrance, were frantically trying to clear a way, but carefully enough so as not to injure any potential Muskie votes. Amazingly, Muskie was making headway toward an exit. As he did, those wanting signatures or handshakes became more desperate. The young reporter, being carried like a rusty tin can over a large wave, no longer cared about an interview. He was apparently more interested in the safety of his recording equipment, and himself. Muskie finally approached the narrow doorway, after Burton Scott and others had cast chairs in all directions making a path. The doorway trimmed away layers of human beings that the Senator had been carrying from the podium. He turned left in the hallway, then right, and was relatively free of his followers. The cars were quickly filled with the Muskie party, and they were off to an airport. The man who was wearing the large donkey button was gone, as was the girl selling pictures. The organ was silent, and Burton Scott was standing in the doorway to the hall shaking hands, of those who were leaving. There were beads of sweat on his forehead, and a faint smile on his face. It just didn't seem that the coming election could be as hard on him as clearing a path for Muskie through that sea of chairs.

Eyeing the cowboys and the Englishboys if at all with a certain ironic amusement, are several sinister bands with outlooks not so predictable, and laughter cheerfully blacker, each on its own axis, but all more or less dedicated to preserving rock at the gut level of awareness that created the original vacuum of power and identity which made rock necessary. Or to put it another way, despite all the amputaions you can still dance to the rock & roll stations. Dancing is important. Maintaining in the city requires setting up countervibrations or a force field temporarily against the civic madness and it's no coincidence that these killer bands thrive in the population centers. The Velvet Underground from New York. The J. Geils Band from Boston. And god Bless Detroit for Alice Cooper and Mitch Ryder. Detroit may know more about rock & roll and the natural facts in general than any other City in the world. Consider the cultural indignities of spending days and years in the shadow of Motor City. Consider the potential energy taut and ready to be released behind bands that know how to be a fuse. And imagine the shock wave exploding from your speakers and nailing you to the wall. "Long Neck Goose" comes on like the Detroit Wheels of old — Mitch still sounds hoarse and even the name is a throwback. Allow yourself a fleeting sense of deja vu and then fasten into a bass line or Johnny Bee's diesel drums and realize the support they're shoveling under Mitch would have split 1965's radios. It just drives and drives. And without a blink they're into "Is It You or Is It Me?" a bouncing bop doo wah that you might like to do the funky chicken to. "It Ain't Easy" marches along on acoustic guitar and harp until a monster riff rears back and shows what Mountain could have been if they weren't half English which probably figures because Leslie West used to be lead guitar for none other than the Detroit Wheels. In any case the punch is there and if momentum has any meeting left it slams right into: "Rock and Roll" by N.Y.'s angelic rocker Lou Reed is possibly the best song ever written about it: Ginny said when she was just five years old there was nothin happenin at all Every time she listened to the radio there was nothin goin down at all But one day she heard a Detroit station, she couldn't believe what she heard at all She started dancin to that fine fine music Her life was saved by rock & roll, charging behind the Decatur Gator's blown Injected guitar and if you can sit still after ten seconds you better check the batteries in your pacemaker. This song has been known to cause structural damage to the cortex and sprained ankles. Forewarned ,s forearmed. . ,, . (Pant pant) between sides pause to reflect on the spare quality of the music. For a band of seven including a full time conga and tambourine player these boys stick close to the skeleton of a song so the sound is anything but crowded and in fact although the piano-organ and double guitars leave the impression of brass there is no brass.

Quick cut to Wilson Pickett by way of the Electric Flag and "I Found a Love". The Nashville lessons have been learned well and Mitch may well have screamed himself into a different time factor during the recording of this. We won't know till the next one.

Tickets for I thage's Student Chiappetta's (do Racine, tickets £ Electronics in E by Jim Koloen of the Nowscopo staff Last night, "On tha Nod" decided to become a kid again, and Imbibe Wednesday night bickers of brew at a teeny bar, a place where under 21's gain their alcoholic baptism, and receive communion in the shape of a bratwurst. I ' put drinking in a theological framework because alcohol has a lot to do with my metaphysic. This was old memories night; many were the times that my teeny contemporaries and I split pitchers of beer, while discussing Existentialism and Marxism, screaming at the war, wondering about the possible harmful effects of devil weed, afraid of acid because you didn't wanna end up jumpin' outa no window. I remember also that the Bratstop was the first bar to kick me out, and for, of all reasons, growing hair. My how the times have changed. The Bratstop is just a different place these days; boys get to grow their hair long now, and there's four bars scattered through the building including a downstairs room with pool tables, strobe lights that make you sick, bands, and pinball machines. Wowwee! It seems that the only things that haven't changed are the TV, the quarter admission charge, and the war. Willie Sorensen, Newscope's ace media-excommunicator and part-time bartender, accompanied me on this foray into teeny nightlife scenes. We breezed past the ID checkers booth, and huffed and puffed at the outrageous $1.50 cover charge. There was a noisy adolescent band called Freefall, that attempted to knock people down with overamplifications, covering the trails left by bad riffs with noise. After touring the place, checking things out, Bill and I settled in a corner of the bar nearest the Teevee and discussed Miller, Millett, Kubrick, Soch and Clint Eastwood before going on the nod. I . wanted to get as far away as possible from the band, and a strobe light whose only value seemed to be its ability to make everybody an existentialist, it produced a lot of nausea. A bar just ain't a place for strobes, noway. We pooled our resources and ordered bottles of Bud priced at 60 cents a bottle if you buy just one, or $1.00 for two. It was about 7:30 when we arrived, and the bar was already crowded. Willie told me the big nights are Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. This place has something for everyone so you can take your mind off the fact that the Brat isn't a real bar. It's a teen bar and you never forget it. Patrons all had young unformed faces, laughing it up, drinking beer until they ran out of money, and to get the parents car home, or threw up because they weren't experienced enough to know when to stop. Keeps em off the streets. The beer selection is surprisingly impressive, the Brat has Hamms and Falstaff on tap, and bottled beer with labels like Bud, Pabst, Michelob, etc., they even have a stock of what I consider to be the Edsel of alcohol, Right Time. Willie said the food was good, "priced at about what you'd expect. . . probably the best brat I ever had, definitely worth the money (60 cents)." Waiting for my next Bud, I surveyed the .area around our niche; the same synthetic woocf panelling that lines the walls of all other newly built or remodeled taverns, formica bars, comfortable barstools. Actually I'm not quite sure if the barstools were comfortable or not — let's just say I was feelin' no pain. shattered the atmosphere; your car is blocking the drive, your car has its lights on, your mother is at the door, etc. A bar with a public address system, far out. I was approaching a critical phase that would lead either to on the nod or disaster, liftoff was beautiful and all systems were go, through the stratosphere, ionosphere, through the Van Allen belt, every sip preceded by a carefully considered choice, nearing the point of no return, breaking through the ozone. I escaped on Brat's orbit, I was On the Nod. I noticed the phenomenal number of chicks, thousands of nubile females, it was too much, better than the dance in the gym, and they was gettin' drunk. Ouwee as Bobby D says. Ouwee indeed. I looked over at Bill, he was jumping around on the floor, brandishing a broom screaming I'm a liberal, I'm a liberal. He then performed his famous Karateballet, trying to chop up frying pans and whacking away at the bar. It's good to know that even a karateguy can't break a bar in half, it's sort of reassuring, invincibility. Pitchers were priced at a somewhat dubious $1.70, cheaper than a lime amount of bottled suds, but we qualitiopted for a more reliable 12 oz. Bud instead. In between Millet and Socha, a disembodied voice suddenly The service was quite good, friendly bartenders were overworked but still managed to converse with patrons, in fact it was just about as good as when Basil, an old friend of mine, worked the bar when we were teenies and deluged • me with free pitchers. The prices, I suppose are about what you'd expect from a teen bar. If you worked it right 'THE EXECUTIONER'S FACE IS ALWAYS WELL HIDDEN" Title: The Vantage Point Author: Lyndon Baines Johnson Publisher: Holt, Rinehart and Winston ($15.00) «9 Former President Lyndon B. Johnson is taking the skeleton out of the closet for public scrutiny. Unfortunately, it's not quite the skeleton we always knew was there, it's been touched up in places, especially where the hip bone is connected to the DMZ. Demonstrating that LBJ is not a man of few words, though I strongly doubt that most of the words in this politicautobiography were written solely by him, the former Commander-in-Chief presents his "Perspectives of the Presidency 1963-1969" in a bulky 569 pages (not including appendices). The Vantage Point, of course, was wherever LBJ happened to be during his more than five years in office, but wherever it was, it had the Presidential Seal embossed on it somewhere. It's with mixed emotions that I review (and read) this book, because LBJ is no longer the powerogre he once was, he can no longer tell me to go to war, he can no longer force me to kill for peace. LBJ is now a certified refiree, a grandfather resting after a lifetime of service to country, on his ranch by the Perdanales Riyer. And who likes to kick grandfathers? But the truth must out, as the Pentagon Papers reveal. In judging this book one also judges LBJ, to believe everything that is said in it, one must forget about credibility gaps. I am survivor of the '60s, when turbulence, crisis and war were willing bedfellows, when idealists were imprisoned for believing in their country's dreams, when lies were confused with truth, and truth with lies. The Vantage Point reveals that LBJ was incapable of comprehending the basic fallacy that kept us in Viet Nam; that we belonged there. To the end, LBJ refuses to deny this; we belonged there because the commies were taking over; we belonged there so we could lead the people to democracy; we belonged there because the South Vietnamese wanted us to protect them from the evil Ho Chi Minh (years earlier, of course, we refused to aid him in instituting a democratic government); that we belonged there because dominoes fell down. We were fhere because the American people believed the lies their government told them. 1963-1969 encompases the era of the secret document; nobody outside the higher echelons of government knew what was going on. Yet Johnson condemned the rising numbers of dissenters because, he says, each time they protested the war, they strengthened the enemy's psychological front, while American boys (as well as Vietnamese women, children) were dying yet winning on the military front. He says that he sympathized with the war protesters, but blames them because they didn t know enough about what was going on, didn't know he was, he says, seeking peace "through every available channel". If he was seeking peace, why didn't he let the American people know? Because it was a secret. Catch-22. The Vantage Point presents us with many views of the President, most of them flattering, a precious few of them revealing. For example, he tells us that a few minufes after giving the go ahead for the renewed bombing of Hanoi, he was in a church kneeling, praying to the God (of Peace). At other times we see him on the hot line, asking Kosygin to intervene with the . . in stopping the Six Day War, or addressing the huge crowds that came out to show their support in the 1964 elections. But the war was only one aspect of what I call LBJ's schizopolitick. While pursuing a hideous war in Nam, LBJ por rays himself as the relentless peaceseeker in other parts of e globe. Continually, he says, he plugged away for disarmament, for se1 setting up foreic nations emerge. I more internatior ward nations: Ui daddy. He told th that developing i their destiny tog direct.

The tap was 30 cents, about a dime more than a real bar, in fact everything was a dime more than a real bar. The juke", Wil lie informed me, was "Top 10 and not much else." Perhaps what impressed me most about the Bratstop was its hugeness. This ain't a bar, it's a ballroom lined with bars, hundreds of people walking around, watching the band destroy their hearing, sitting in booths, and at the bar. Conversation was carried on mouth to ear, the cacaphony created by a hundred mouths proved to be quite an obstacle to our reasonable discourse. Ah ha, another reason for going On the Nod. The Brat must have a high turnover of customers each year, but there's always a wave of new faces eager to enter the door after the old ones have bid their fond adieu ready to search for a real bar. Alot of graduates from teen bars never return for post grad drinking. I think that means something. The Bratstop is a place where you can lose yourself in t he crowd, where teens can be just like everybody else and not be noticed, where it's easy to talk to strangers because they'll always remain anonymous. The big thing is not to confuse teen bars with the real item, cause there's a hell of a lot of difference. But if you're under 21, you really ain't got much of a choice. GOLDSTEIN Directed by Philip Kaufman and Benjamin Monaster Altura Films Wednesday night, .Goldstein and The Grateful Dead, only 50 cents to see films that are seldom available . . . not bad. A student can enjoy hesitant laughter and intellectual company right here on campus, courtesy of The Parkside Film Society. A nice liberal way to spend an evening off. After viewing Goldstein I app roached Hal Stern, French professor and world traveler, to ask his opinion, telling him that I thought the film entertaining, he replied that "it was a little obscure", and looked at me in a way that ushered me to a place short of the third level of consciousness (a look t hat I have grown accustomed to since my first attempt at reviewing films). The film, a 1965 release, grinds the then contemporary life style of Chicago into sausage, as is the fate of a n ogre cop who is pushed into one of those machines by an ambiguous sculptor (Thomas Erhart) who has taken it upon himself to find the newly arisen Elijah, a soggy old man who walks up and out of Lake Michigan to make metaphysical fun of Daley's deluge. Lou Gilbert, the old man, is the drone around which the film manifests the bureaucratic idiocy of police, public puritanism and aborted babies. Other tickles are plentiful w.th existential baseball anecdotes, yes men and a comic bear played by Benito Carruthers who serves as Abbott and Costello. Hal was probably right though, as the film wired along with many jokes and few revelations, the old man finally dancing off into Lake Michigan without changing much of what was so funny in the first place. I ha ven't seen Hallelujah the Hills yet, but I would like to, seeing that Goldstein tried to do for Chicago what that film did for Vermont (according to Eugene Archer, another reviewer). Along with this presentation came The Grateful Dead, a sound and sight syncopation of one of the very first Acid Rock bands. It reminded me of Ken Kesey and his Pranksters, who made a film that probably bore some similarity to this egocentric picture of the Dead. Their music serves as a kind of trip tripping background for stop action, reversal, overexposure and trip clicking of film. An instant insight into the group and putting us into what would seem to be a rehearsal with short acid burned moments in the sunlight, retinas flinching in Lysergic confusion, is early Dead, without stovepipe hats, still the burnt out beachboy look, but heavy. The film society let me in for next to nothing and I'd like to thank them for that and ask you Newscope readers to take in a few of their films. For the money yer gettin' a good deal.

If hi story's memory suffers amnesia about the war, LBJ has a sizeable niche next to the good guys. But this reviewer doesn't forget. The cloud of the war looms large over LBJ's head, as well it should. Under him our involvement increased from 69,000 troops to 525,000, and the maimed and broken survivors multiply ten-fold the more than 44,000 dead. That's not even to mention the billions of dollars diverted from urgently needed-domestic programs. In places the writing is touching, speckled with drawlsy anecdotes, interesting and sometimes exciting. In other places, much longer and more of them, it's dry, humorless and boring. It's a long book and LBJ was obviously selective about what went in; his Presidential years are painted as years of great social upheaval and advancement, which they were, and years of questing for peace, which they really weren't. If I seem biased against LBJ's vantage point, it's because I too shouted peace now, and was never answered. Some of the especially boring sections of Vantage Point occur when LBJ describes various Cabinet meetings during sundry crises. He did what his advisors and he thought best, based on the information they had. He won't admit mistakes. Late in the book he describes how peace negotiations were finally agreed upon, and that Saigon was the side that dragged its feet. He even indicated that Nixon men had counseled Thieu and Ky into believing they would have a mote acceptable ally, once Nixon took office. Saigon sat out the Peace Talks for a while, and LBJ thinks that this delay won Nixon the-election. He was never to quite forgive the Saigon regieme for this delay, and we may never be able to quite forgive LBJ for his. (Courtesy of the Book Mart, 622-59th S treet, Kenosha.)

DAUNTLESS DEFENDER OF QDAUTY DAUNTJMP noMB trt BAUNTIESS DEFENDER OF UlAlffl SGA into Biz arre Situation (Continued from Page 1) the organization would pledge to use the money for the purposes they requested it for. SGA added it. Ricardo Quintana , mathematics, asked if the CCC would have any veto power over any appropriations made. Loumos replied no. After further discussion the CCC voted unanimously to allow SGA to make the appropriations. So jubilation reigned supreme for Student Government — th ey had $6,400, and the authority to allocate it to student organizations. So they thought. Tuesday afternoon, Loumos met with Zuehlke to arrange the transfer of funds to Student Government's account — rather he though he would. Zuehlke told him, he told Newscope, procedures to utilize the funds already existed, and, alas, only $2,400 was left — the money had been used for office supplies and equipment, telephones and carpeting, among other things. Loumos walked out. W e dne sda y m o rni ng Loumos, Trotter and myself, representing SGA, met with Dearborn, Zuehlke, Tony Totero and Jewel Echelbarger of Student Affairs, and Duane Nuendorf of the Business office. Stu d e nt G o v e r n m e nt desired to tape record the conference — the misunderstandings that have arisen out of past meetings was their justification. The administrators refused. At one point, believing the meeting was being recorded, they got up as if to walk out.

The meeting was not recorded. Zuehlke began by saying he had given SGA the wrong figures the day before. An estimated $4,104 remained of the funds, not $2,400. He provided a breakdown of how the money had been spent. Significant expenditures included: $585 for office equipment and furnishings; $609 for telephone rental and tolls; $209 for student salaries; $155 for supplies. Zuehlke accused Loumos and Trotter of lying to the CCC in saying he had approved the SGA budget request forms. Loumos denied this. He charged, in turn, Zuehlke had lied to them two months earlier in saying no procedures existed for utilizing the funds, and that SGA could draw up such forms. Why, he asked, did Zuehlke say no procedures existed and the money could not be reached because of this, when, in fact, such procedures did exist, and the money was being used? Zuehlke denied, in turn, ever saying this. At this point, I said a recording of the meeting would have obviously shown who was lying. There was no reply. Dearborn maintained that, in the first place, the CCC had no authority to relinquish its budget making authority; just as the CCC last year had no authority to abolish itself. The SGA leaders accepted this, and gradually a compromise was worked out: any allocation of funds would have to be approved by SGA, and the Campus Concerns Committee. Dearborn would then concur if the two bodies first okayed it. So student organizations will be in line to receive an estimated $4,104, and SGA will have a say in how it's allocated. After it was all over, Loumos commented wearily, "At least everything is straightened out now." <"3 171 " / / I I v" cv: / M PIPES PAPERS POSTERS PATCHES AND MORE .J 5010 7th Are. r* ,A/> TRUCK on DOWN OPENMON.-FRI.

LSD music and a hard rock light show. Gawd! I stepped out for a moment and reentered refreshed. Norm walked out to the audience for the second half of the program, with mike in hand, this time to explain that ESP is "God Given" and asking for questions, taking time out to forecase a few predictions, and informing the audience that his: managers were trying to get him on the Carson show. Here is where the circus began. The ESP lecture had turned into a route, it was the Ask Norman show, Stump the Psychic, and finally a revival meeting. People seriously asked him if they should take a trip to another city, they asked him what they should do about certain problems, etc. Norm answered some and told others that a psychic couldn't simply turn his powers on and answer questions, just like that. Some people heckled him, and here I must give Norm credit. He handled hecklers well by not answering them, instead he went into a rap that centered around various historical figures who had to suffer persecutions and ridicule for what they believed. Exit hecklers. At other times Norm used his psychic powers to answer unasked questions that he'd "received" from members of the audience; he told people about their pasts, their health, that sort of thing. Nobody told him if he was right, if they did I couldn't hear them. One longhair walked out haflway through the show, casually saying "I stumped him." During this time, Norm was speaking in his incredible speed 'o light monotone and people were raising their hands to be called on, while others yelled out questions. Slater would answer a question and then move directly into an unfortunately stagnant rap on (Continued from Page 1) panel didn't discuss anything, rather they asked trick questions like what's ESP, and what's the Bermuda Triangle. Norm helpfully answered the obviously spontaneous questions. The answers may have been interesting, I don't quite know because Norm doesn't speak in a way that's conducive to communication. He has a tendency to fracture the English language, and speaks in an incredible monotone, accenting nothing, punctuating nothing, simply spieling out words that pile atop each- other until he runs out of breath. I heard some of it, but I'd have liked to hear more. After the panel "discussion" was completed, Norm left the stage and took the floor, mike in hand. He was going to demonstrate ESP, using the audience. Ten objects were placed on a table, while two volunteers were dubiously isolated in the back of the theater. Amplifying his words through the sound system, he picked out one object for each half of the audience to concentrate on. The volunteers were brought back in and instructed to pass a hand over the objects, and pick up the one which radiated the most psychic heat. The first volunteer failed. The second simply gave up after Norm asked the hapless hipster if he was "on a trip." With that failure behind him, Norm picked out another volunteer from the audience. This time Norm himself was going to transmit the image of the object. With the volunteer facing the lighted screen in the back of the stage, Norm showed everyone in the audience what he was going to concentrate on. I'm not sure if the volunteer didn't see it either. It seems that the object's dark outline was projected onto the top of the screen, which the volunteer was facing. He many have seen it, and then again he may not have. Anyway, the volunteer picked the correct object, and scattered applause ensued. At which time Norman beat a hasty exit, and promised predictions to come.

Slater was also predicting things, as he promised earlier, and making a few hilarious mistakes along the way. For example, he predicted that in 1978 a 17 year old would take the place of "James Hendrickson" (Jimi Hendrix), that Lindsay would be President in 1974 (an off year), and that the U.S. would be (surprise) completely different in 2000 from what it is today. However, beside a few absurd "predictions" the psychic also forecast that a "pyramid on he t moon would be found in 1973", the war wouldn't end for years, that in 1980 the U.S. would be in a war with South Africa, that draft resistors would not be allowed to repatriate, that great earth tremors would shake the Midwest in 1974, that Atlantis will rise again, and the Statue of Liberty would be blown up in 1973. He also predicted that an assassination attempt will be made on Nixon while he visits China. ESP may well be an emerging science, evidence seems to indicate its validity, but Sunday night's program didn't do much in proving its case. The last half of the program was pure theater, it was absurd comedy, a melange of fast talking car salesmen, Monte Hall, Ann Landers and What's My Line. I could only laugh. I congratulated Eric Prentnieks for his stroke of genius in introducing live theater to the Vogue (he'd told me earlier that it's "one of a continuing series of lectures"), and I for one hope it continues. If Norman Slater is to be a crusader for ESP, he's going to have to learn how to present a serious program that doesn't sink (ascend?) to theater. As it turned out, the biggest block to accepting ESP was the evangelist-psychic himself. Make Bowling Your Thing!
