"As good citizens we haven't followed the spirit of the law," said Baftiot!. In an interview on Tuesday, Goetz said he contacted the State Supervisor for the Greenquist project, Mike Widen, who told Goetz that ail the proper rules and regula. tions have been followed, and that an "expert" removed the asbestos in an upfront and proper way. At the Eoo meeting Safflotl addressed the issue of the storage and removal of haz· ardous waste containers on campus.

Randall Forsberg. the Di- rector of the Institute for De- fense and Disarmament Stud- ies and Keith Payne, from the National Institute for Public Policy, discussed the subject of defense and laid out their very different but sometimes compatible positions. "We have larger and grow. ing conventional forces," Forsberg said. "We have set up a house of cards which is designed to fall over. The next 20-50 years may bring depression or a civil war." There is a small number of elites controlling the military forces, Forsberg said, "Our goal is to do away with the armed forces and the perpet- uation of the nuclear arms race." Forsberg said that even if the number of nuclear weap- ons was reduced by 99 per- cent, there would still be enough left to obliterate most of the major clties In the northern hemisphere. "If we reduce the nuclear weapons, we would increase the possibility of conventional war without eliminating the danger of nuclear war," he continued. The goal of the peace move- ment. Forsberg saId, Is to "reduce standard convention- al forces and to end the use of those forces as tools of power." Payne conceded that the more militaristic interests and the peace movement do have some common goals, but their policy recomrnenda- tions, he said, are very differ· ent. "We have many of the same goals," he said. "We want to reduce mllitary spending, end warfare and live in a world where people don't dismember one another. But, we don't agree in the area of policy." The two sides of the issue tend to be very sell-righteous and talk past one another, he continued.

Toner called the FCC's Chi- cago bureau and its national headquarters to seek their opinions, and they agreed with his Interpretallon. "This has nothing to do with the Department of Ad- ministration," he said. "It's simply a case of a violation of FCC regulations discovered during the same checking process we conduct whenever we're reviewing contracts." According to Motorola sales representative Sue McCarten, however, the code in question is obscure and has not been so strictly enforced in the past. At Parkslde's bequest, she is consulting with techni- cal advisers, seeking evi- dence to overturn Toner's de- cision. "Basically, what I've found out is that other places are using the very same system with no problem at all. 1 reviewed a copy of the Uni- versity of Michigan'S con- tract. and they received the same system no questions asked. "The Department's reading of the code is far too strict -" she continued. "All the FCC wants is a central control center which can close down a system in case someone not authorized to use it uses it. In Parkside's situation, that would happen if someone used the boxes as a prank, or if the box was inadvertently left in a call position, tying up the line. .'But even thcugh there isn't a person physically seat- ed behind the switchboard, the system can still be shut down. All a patrol officer would need to do Is go to the control center and shut down the repeater (a more power- ful transmitter which acts as the 'medium' through which the two-way communication passes)." McCarten is seeking the aid of Motorola's corporate head- quarters in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to intercede on behalf of the university and obtain installation permission from the FCC. Goetz is optimistic that the effort will succeed, but is worried about doing without the system in the interim. "No one really understands the situation unless they ex- perience it," he said. "It'.s very frightening to walk out to your car at night, find that it won't start, and realize you can't get back Into the build- ing to call for help. We need these boxes, not only for the lots, but possibly for the dorms in the fall. " Ron Brinkmann, director of campus security, echoes Goetz's concern. "I hope to hell we don't miss any calls without these boxes that we might have been able to answer with them," he said. ~ Nobody asked me, but. Let Elvis rest in peace by Jim Nelbaur Feature Editor Can you stand just one more article about Elvis Presley? It's just that every time I am innocently in line at the grocery store, I am accosted by screaming headlines from the scandal tabloids regard- ing Elvis, Priscilla or Lisa Marie Presley. It doesn't matter that Elvis has been dead for nearly a decade. And that isn't all. "Saturday Night Live" reo cently ran a painfully unfun- ny sketch regarding Elvis Presley. The film "Into the Night" had the audacity to in- sinuate disgusting things about Elvis Presley. David Letterman recently made the offensive comment that In commemoration of Presley's fiftieth birthday, Rexall was running a two-for-one special on prescription drugs. And writer Albert Goldman wrote a so-called biography which critic Grell Marcus called "Lies about Elvis lies about us." Why? I don't know! Appar- ently ~here are a lot of people who Just don't realize that rock and roll would not have happened as It did had It not been for Elvis Presley. Many of the music's most Important artists - Bruce Springsteen is the best example - would have been absolutely incon- ceivable without Elvis Pres- ley. RCA Victor is still another problem. Their endless re- packaging of random Presley hits and their adding strings and other effects to "contem· porize" music that Is largely historical caused rock critic Dave Marsh to state that he wonders when "America's greatest music legend" will get proper treatment on re- cords. Perhaps the problem Is that Presley was so much a victim of his own massive popular-ity as well as his bad manage- ment. Presley's manager un- fortunately insisted upon a lot of fluffy-type films and re- cords to make Presley a more "commercial" com. mOdity,. thus hampering the reputatron of his original rebel rocker persona and his early Sun and RCA discs. However, when one clears away all of the dross, one can see the very foundation of aU •• rock "music. Elvis Presley is called the king of rock and roll simply, because his music (especially the early mate rial) contains the seeds 01 everything rock and roll is today. Priscilla Presley did a courageous and commenda· ble job presenting an honest look at Elvis the man inher best-selling book "Elvis and Me" but the essential ac- cou'nt of Elvis Presley is his music. Perhaps the bestthing to do is grab a copy of II.Th~ Rolling Stone Record GUIde and look up Presley's dis- cography. Then check out ~ny or all of the albums rated five A stars. The more you hear, the more you 'u realize just \\:ho was responsible for puttmg rock and roil on the map, as well as who opened the d?o.r for the brilliant black mUSiCl· ans who originated the styles from whence rock and 1'011 '" came. . . the Elvis Presley IS, by rar. single most important fi~ure in rock history. The next tI~e you want to laugh at a na s ~ joke about him, realize thfd your record collection wou t be unfathomably diflere n had he never existed.
