William Kunstler:
"Only The People Can Stand Against Power"
G.E. Rutkowski
"I have said regularly and systematically
that the~overnor of New York is a murderer.
I have said it in full knowledge of what those
words mean. I know that if I am wrong it is a ,
libelous statement for which I would have to
pay damages.and I know that I jeopardize my
future at the bar by saying it. I do not say it
-without being mindful of the responsibilities
of a person like myself · not to speak in
flamboyant unprovable terms. Yet I shall
continue to say it to every audience I can get
before."
William Kunstler has acted in defense of
. Dr. Martin Luther King, Stokely Carmichael,
H. ~ap Brown, Rennie Davis, Davie!
Dellinger and the Black Panthers. He is a
prominent name in today's news and is
qeginning his second decade as national
figure. On October 12 Mr. Kunstler spoke at the
Marathon Campus in Wausau. Mr. Kunstler
came to speak on "America Today" and
center~d his talk on Attica at which he was a
chief negotiator for the prisoners.
.
"Attica was born on the west coast," said
Kunstler. It was born in the Folsom
Manifesto, a list of demands by prisoners in
the maximum security prison in Comstock,
California. These demands somehow began to
travel from prison to prison. Folsom to
Soledad to San Quentin and then Auburn in
New York . At Auburn the ideas sparked a ·
revolt, the demands were accepted by prison
authorities; the hostages were freed; the
demands were never met. Some of the inmates who had sparked the revolt at Auburn
were sent to Attica. Here, once again, the
ideas were brought up to th@ authorities. The
Commissioner of Correctional Services
received the manifesto in April. It was not
until August 16, however, that Commissioner
Russel Oswald answered the demands. He
said, "It takes a lot of people to make these
decisions. I can't promise they will be
adopted. You must give me time. "
By September 8, it was too late: the
prisoners rebelled. Not even Kunstler is sure
of how it occured. The fact was that prisoners
had 50 hostages and were ready to bargain for
the demands never met in the original
manifesto.
The inmates met in the yard on September
8; formulated 20 immediate demands and
sent a list of names to prison authorities. The
list of ·names represented the people the
prisoners would talk to. William Kunstler's
riame was among them. Kunstler was asked
to be the spokesman for the negotiators and,
first, find out the demands and secondly, ask
the inmates guidance on how they wanted
them presented.
Kunstler went to Attica with a sterotype of
the kind of prisoners he would meet. He said
they were soon forgotten as he read the
preamble of the manifesto as written by the
prisoners. I said: "We are men, we are not 1
beasts or do we intend to be beaten or driven
as such. The entire prison population has set
l"m·th "to change ·forever the ruthless
brutalization and disregard for the lives of the
pdsoners het·e and throughout · the United
States. What !tas happened here is but the
sound befot·e the fury of those who are optn·essed. We have set forth demands that will
b•·ing closet· to reality the demise of the penal
institutions that serve no useful. purpose to
the people of America, but for those who
would enslave and exploit them."
•
Sunday evening Kunstler once again
reported to the inmates. He told them that he
would contmue in trying to keep negotiations
open. The prisoners at this point were ready
to make concessions on the amnesty demand.

The following casualty
figures for Indochina are based
on U.S. government statistics.
They are lower than U.S.
casualties reported by the
-liberation forces. Figures are
from Jan. 1, 1961 to Sept. 25,
1971. Figures in parentheses are
for the week Sept. 18 to Sept. 25.
Killed : 45,542 (29)
· "Non-combat" deaths: 9,788 (6)
Wounded: 301,747 (47);
Missing, captured: 1,617.
The Portage County Veterans for
Peace announced that for this week they have
· declared Stevens Point a "free fire zone".
During the period of October 12 through
October 18 they will select certain areas of the
city for a mock attack. The attack will be in
the form of leaflets on the entrances of the
buildings in the selected areas. These leaflets
will explain what would have happened if·
instead of paper leaflets, actual bombs and
artillary shells had been used. The areas and
times of the attacks are not being disclosed in
advance so the residents will not be aware of
the action in their area until after the raid
takes place.
This action is taking place for the week
preceding the visit of Secretary of Defense
Melvin Laird, for the Youth Leadership
Conference. The Veterans wish to bring home
to the residents of Stevens Point the uricertainty, destruction, deaths and human
suffering we are inflicting daily upon the
populace of Viet Nam. This destruction and
loss of life could have been eliminated long
ago had President Nixon · and Laird not
pursued the unobtainable goal of victory in
VietNam. The Vets for Peace object to the
use of POW's and soldiers in Viet Nam as.
political pawns for the personal advantage of
Dictator President Thieu.
These raids are being held in conjunction
with the Laird visit to emphasize the fact that
the war is continuing with death and
destruction on a daily basis.
The Veterans for Peace wish to emphasize
that during these raids all laws will be obeyed
and no actual destruction will take place.
' These are mock attacks to simulate to the
people of Stevens Point the death and
destruction brought upon by the actions of our
President and Defense Department.
The results of each raid will be announced
the following day by the Vets for Peace.
Strike Draft Board
On Tuesday night the Portage County
Veterans for Peace staged a mock artillery
and air strike on the local Draft Board. The
Draft Board was selected as a military target
to simulate conditions in Viet Nam.
In the raid leaflets were posted on the entrances of buildings to designate the damage
that would have occured had actual artillery
and bombs been used. The Draft Board was
completely destroyed, while nearby buildings
in the vicinity of Third and College Streets
were also destroyed because of their
proximity to the target.
A few homes in the vicinity of Fifth and
Union were also raided to simulate an artillery shell that was approximately 1000
meters short of the target. This is a common
occurence in Viet Nam, usually occuring
while getting the range set on the artillery.
The simulated casualties and damages
were: 40 Civilian casualties; 0 Military
casualties; 13 Buildings destroyed.
Other raids were staged throughout the
week.

Financial Aids
.. Need Is The Most Important Criter,i an ·"
Editor's note:
For an undergraduate student to attend
UW-Stevens Point for one year, the cost is
approximately $1,500. Meeting this fee is _an
easy task for some students but a major
problem for many. The university does make
an attempt to somewhat rectify this situation
by providing the student with the services ?f
financial aids. It will be the purpose of this _
;u·ticle to look at these services in some detail
and make comment on them. <See editorial
page.)
The student financial aid services of UWSP has a departmental function. It is headed
by Philip C. George, who is assisted by
Thomas H. Goltz and John W. Goldridge. Mr.
George has previously worked at the State
University College at FFedonia, New York in
admissions, public relations, resident hall
managemant, counseling, and was a full-time
Financial Aid Advisor for the 1968-69 and 196970 academic years.
The Office of Student Financial Aids is
under th~ division of Student Affairs and has a
current operating budget of $60,118. ($36,000
of this is for faculty salaries.) Mr. George
reports directly to the Vice President for
Student Affairs and has a link with the student
body and faculty through the Financial Aids
Committee which is composed of members of
each group.
·
Whet·e's the Money Coming From?
•
All financial aid funds at Point are governmental-federal and state. (We will be mainly
concerned with these funds and not bank
loans such as those through the Wisconsin
Higher Education Corporation. We will also
not · labor over definitions since this information is readily available to students
through various sources.) Application is
made at Point annually dir~ctly to the federal
government through the WSU Board of
Regents Office for National Defense Student
Loans <NDSL), College Work-Study Program
<CWSP), and the Educational Opportunity
Grant ( EOG) ' funds in the fall of each year.
The office is notified of final allocation in the
late spring of how much funding has been
allocated to the WSU System. The Board
Office then determines what share of the total
allocation should be granted to Point. State
funds <State of Wisconsin Leadership ·and
Need Grants-L&N-and portions of others) are
distributed in a like manner through the
Board Offi"ce, and no application is necessary.
Decisions regarding the level of funding
for each institution within the WSU System
are based on such factors as student financial
need, enrollment, number of students
receiving honor scholarships, and funding
requests. The total amounts Point has
received for the 1971-72 year are as follows:
Resident L&N-$318,200
EOG Program- $334,200
Work Study-$490,900
NDSL-$286,400
The above total is from a WSU System
~ Fine
total that reads as follows :
Resident L&N-$2,154,200
EOG Program-$:2,678,600
Work Study-$3,131,100
NDSL-$2,281,100
.
.
Additionally, each System un.tverstty ha_s
the oportunit-y to request additional funds It
deems necessary to meet its minimum needs.
These requests may or may not be fulfilled.
Point has had the following amounts additionally funded:
Resident L&N - $10,000
EOG Program - $61,000
Work Study · $50,000
NDSL - $140,000 .
The office also handles its own Emergency
Loan Program which gives loans to students
who have immediate financial need and a
proven solid repayment source. ~ere will
thus, continually be funds available for
students with financial emergency needs.
-
Where's the Money Going
The second major procedure for the.Office
of Student Financial Aids is to get the money
to the students. The Parent's Confidential
Statement <PCS> is the source documen~ ~pon
which decisions are made . (Decisions
regarding independent students ~re based ?n
their financial status, not their parents.)
These forms are reviewed by financial aid
counselore and decisions are made direct~y
by the office based on need, academic
achievement. student preference, and
program guidelines. Need is by far_ the mo~t
important criterion. <A very detaiie~ basis
for these decisions can be found m the
document "Procedures For Packaging Aid
1971-72." This is public information an_d the
interested student can find it in the Office of
Student Financial Aids.) The money is then
turned over to the student in one of its many
forms. Any funds that are left over are added
on the following year's budget. Generally the
office over-spends.
. . .
A sidelight problem is that the office IS m
the position to having to offer aid to studen~s
before learning to what extent the a1d
programs will be funded. This requires some
educational guessing, and fortunately, so far,
the guesses and approximations have been
functionally accurate.
More Sidelights
There are some other interesting
sidelights that many students are no~ aw3:re
of in regard to the Office of Student Fmancial
Aids. This reporter looked into sev~ral _of
these and came up with the followmg Information:
llow does the office check up on the information returned on the Parent's Confidential Statement?
These forms are reviewed and checked for
inconsistencies in parents' estimations of
gross income for previous years wh~n
compared to the actual income reported 1_n
subsequent applications. When there IS
Arts Dedication
G.E. Hutkowski
A week of cultural activity culminated
Oct. 10 in the formal dedication of the College
of Fine Arts Building. The 4.5 million dollar
structure, considered by some as a large
piece of sculpture, was completed after more
than six years of planning. Mayor Paul
Borham of'Stevens Point proclaimed Oct. 3 to
Oct. 10 as "Fine Arts Week" in the city and
encouraged public participation in the
dedication week activities.
The week's activities were centered in the
new building and reqresentative of the
educational and cultural activity for which
the building was intended. The Edna Carls ten
Gallery located on the second floor of the Fine
Arts building was the showplace for the
Wisconsin Painter's Show which runs Oct. 130. The Warrne Gard Jenkins Theatre served
as the stage for "Man of La Mancha" from
Oct. 3 to Oct. 9. The Peter J. Michelson
Concert Hall was the sight of a Faculty Piano •
Recital on Monday, Oct. 4, and an All
Faculty Recital Oct. 7. On Friday Oct. 8 the
Arts and Lecture series presented Marcel
-Marceau, identified in the art world as the
greatest living pantomimist. Marceau conducted a lecture-demonstration for students
in the College of Fine Arts and at 8:00 pm
presented a public performance in the Main
building auditorium.
F.A.B. Dedication
Formal dedication ceremonies for the
College of Fine Arts building were held in the
Peter J. Michelson Concert Hall Sunday Oct.
10 at 1:30. President Lee Sherman Dreyfus
was introduced by the Dean of Fine Arts,
William Hanford as the "the first President of
the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point."
The passing of the state school systems
merger in which Drefus played an important
role affords him this new title. Dreyfus then
introduced Mrs. John Albertson, the widow of
the former president of the university, under '
cont. to page 12
reason to doubt the accuracy of statements,
further clarification is requested from the
parents. Sometimes an official photostatic
copy of the parents' latest federal income tax
return is requested from the United States
Internal Revenue Service. Independent
students who submit budgets which reflect a
standard of living beyond the norm .. for
students in their particular situation . are
counseled . when ever possible to determine
the legitimacy of their expressed needs and
generally required to develop a budget within
the confines of the norms.
Is there any amount of complication in
getting students to ·repay loans?
There are no complicati<;ms. UW-SP
students have a good record o£ repayment.
Terms for loan repayment are geared to meet
student needs.
What about the loyalty oath that a student
is t·equh·ed to sign on NDSL?
The loyalty oath signature is required by
the Federal Government. It is completely a
"rubber stamp" situation and no action has
ever been taken on it. There is, though, a
previ·sion to cancel aid for student rioters.
The office would be obligated to take away the
aid if it could identify the rioters.
To what extent does the office work outside
the campus to secure some form of financial
aid'! .
The office keeps in contact with the
community through the Wisconsin Employment Service. Two college work study
students are annually supplied to that agency
to assist in the coordination of student employment. Arrangements nave been made to
have one of these students on campus, in the
office, at lea-s t once a week to assign students ·
to available jobs in the community.
·
Work-Study the Best
When asked which form of -financial aid
benefits the student the most, Mr. George
stated that grants are obviously ;nost
desirable, but that jobs are perhaps the best
As indicated before $540,!)00 is allocated for
Work-Study for the present academic year. ·
This is the largest amount in comparision to
the other forms of financial aid. An academic
year can find as many as 1,500 students in
jobs on the campus and· in the community.
Mr. George went on to say that student
workers "besides being paid get valuable
working experience, which will help him get a
job later on."
The question then came up of why a poor
student should have to work his way through
cgllege? Mr. George stated that "the Federal
Government attempts to balance things out so
that each student would graduate with the
same amount of loans." He went on to say, "it
is a form of self help. It's not fair to ask a
taxpayer to pay for the -education of some
members of society. They would be paying for
somethin~ they wouldn't benefit from."
Merger, Nixon, Goals?
The Office of Student Financial Aids has to
be concerned with decisions and factors in the
economy and changes within the university
system because of the obvious rela_tion with
them. Two important factors are the merger
of the state university system and the
economic plan of President Nixon.
It is not certain yet what effect the merger
will have on financial aid. Perhaps some of
the money will be taken away and given to
Madison or schools with Jess money. What
ever the effects Mr. George feels "we can get
around them so that we aren't hurt." As far as
Mr. Nixon's economic plan _goes, it will
produce no measurable difference in the
office. Mr. George feels there will be no
drastic changes over the next decade, just
more funds.
In a concluding statement Mr. George was
asked what could be done to make the office
better serve the student? Mr. George felt that
some improvements were · made over last
year. There are now weekly staff meeting and
they are trying to set a goal to shoot at.
Hopefully, they will also be able to search for
summer jobs for students.

Lucey Speaks On Prison Reform
More community-prisoner contact to improve Wisconsin's policy of criminal
correction was emphasized by Governor
Patrick Lucey last Wednesday when he spoke
to Stevens Point students as part of the
Singstock Lecture series.
, As of now.• most prisoners are totally closed
from the society that is around them.
Lucey said, "Our prisons, despite the innovation of treatment and rehabilitation
programs, suffer ~rave inadeq_uacies in this
regard. They are too large, and to remote.
They house those exiled from their community and maintain them in a totally alien
environment. Their population is racially
disproportionate, and there is a complete
racial dichotomy between the keepers and the
kept. Because of their size and the needs of
institutionalized living, prisons are a maze of
rules and regulations repressing individual
responsibility for the sake of maintaining the
regime" .
In . this kind of an atmosphere,
rehabilitation is extremely difficult. Lucey
stated if rehabilitation is a primary purpose
of our prisons, we have to admit 'failure.
Also, there is a question as to whether
prisons, as they are, deter crime. Lucey said,
"Punishment by itself does not provide an
·effective deterrent to most crime-there are
too many other factors involved."
In light of these facts about Wisconsin
prisons, Lucey appointed last May a Citizen
Study Committee on Offender Rehabilitation.
The purpose of this committee is to investigate state and local correctional
facilities and to make recom!J1endations, to
study the medical and psycological problems
facing offenders, and to consider various·
substitute programs for complete confinement and to examine all other related
areas.
A basic alternative to the rehabilitation
system is to provide responsibility and
community contact for the offender long
before he is released from his sentence,
Lucey said.
The work-release program
where the offender spends part of the day
working outside the prison Lucey feels should
be extended; but also the whole concept af
time out of the prison must be expanded.
Lucey suggested open institutions, systems
of home leave, forloughs to re-.establish
working lives before release, industrial plants
as an adjunct to prisons and many other
avenues of rehabilitation for the offender.
"Experience has taught us well that only a
small percentage need the max'imumsecudty ·supervi.sion given in exsiting state
facilities," Lucey stated.
He said therefore in-community supervision should be developed through such
means as small, community-based facilities
where maintenance and residential custody is
necessary.
Lucey stressed the community as a
rehabilitating force on the offender. He
stated that only in the community can
rehabilitation truly occur.
Lucey also spoke about crimes with no
victims such as alcoholism and stated they
should be treated through the criminalcorrectional process. In other words, these
offenders should be helped, not punished.
Programs of diversion and prevention must
also be formed, Lucey feels. "Those who can
be diverted outside the criminal justice
system before reaching corrections similarly
stand a better chance of not returning to it,"
~ucey said.
In answer to a question about whether he
feels Governor Rockefeller of New York is a
murderer in regard to the Attica .Decision,
Lucey said he wasn't prepared to criticize
Rockefeller, but if it had happened in
Wisconsin he would have gone to the prison,
unlike Rockefeller. He said that it was "incredible" that Rockefeller made the decision
he did.
In regard to a question on the student press
and pressures put on the editors by the administration, Lucey said that he abhors any
type of censorship and that independence was
the best policy for student newspapers.
In rttgards to the recent Menomonie Indian
march to Madison, Lucey stated he would
meet with the group and consider their
requests then.

AZTECS OF MEXiCO. By

Dennis W. MacDonald
George C. Vaillanrs story of
the Aztecs of Mexico is the story
of one of the greatest
civilizations in America from its
early seeds to its brutal
destruction by "civ.ilized,"
Europe'an Christians. It is
especially tragic because the
Aztec civilization was just
beginning to reach its maturity
when it was destroyed.
It is especially tragic
because the Aztec civilization
was just beginning to reach its
maturity when it was destroyed.
The first four chapters of the
work are quite dull, loaded with
hundreds of names of people and
places. And, as the author
suggests in the preface, one
might well skip over this section
if he is mainly interested in
trying to understand the rise
and fall of this great civilization.
The following chapters deal with
Co-ed Housing Brings
"Increased Respect"
by Nancy Cordy and Jane ·
Weigel
The "co-ed dorm" is now a part. of the
Stevens Point campus housing situation.
After a two year investigation by the Housing
Office to determine the advisibility of co-ed
living for this university, three co-ed dorms
are now in operation - Baldwin, Hansen and
Hyer halls. They house a total of 750 students.
Co-ed dorms, notes Dr. Fred Leafgren of
Housing, are on a two year trial basis to see if
such a situation fosters a better socialeducational environment for students.
Continuation of the program rests on the
answers to these questions: 1. Does the malefemale relationship improve or mature
through broader contacts with the opposite
sex? 2. Are male-female attitudes improved
because Qf this contact with the opposite sex?
A~tec religion is possibly
overplayed in this work as in
most others on the subject.
People seem to possess a crude
fascination with human
sacrifices and cannibalism
which, admittedly, did play an
important role in Aztec life.
Many of their other institutions,
such as their art, crafts
manship, and militarism, did
center on religion. It seems,
however, senseless to spend a
great deal of time on these
negative, magical elements.
Perhaps it would have been
sufficient to point them out,
indicate the adverse effects
which magic had on genuine
culture for the Aztecs. This
would probably be of some
benefit to us in the re-creation of
our own society.

It's too soon to determine any results, but
Stevens Point students are generally enthused about the program.
In the co-ed halls, men are housed on the
· first and second floors, and women on the
third and fourth floors. The decision to assign
women to the upper floors was based in part
on a concern for their safety. It was less
likely, the Housing Office concluded, that
men residing in the hall would intrude on the
women';; floors. Also, visitors would be less
likely to walk onto upper floors by mistake.
There have been some reports of people
being in these buildings after hours in places
they aren't supposed to be. But this ha& been
the biggest problem the directors have faced
so far. Generally, there have been no special
problems that would not occur in any of the
single-sex dorms.

Co-ed halls are locked at midnight during

PROPOSED LAST SPRING
a
The Housing Office developed co-ed dorm
proposal and submitted it to the faculty in
April1971. It was approved in May 1971. The
housing program at that time, according to
the Housing Office, was not facilitating the
development of meaningful relationships with
people of the opposite sex.
After observing students residing in the
residence halls, the Housing Office concluded
that ''with the exception of a minimal number
of friendly, informal heterosexual groups on
this campus, the <then) present type of
relatio.nship existing between male and
female is a one:to-one dating relationship.
Students seem to have insufficient opportunities, or do not use the opportunities
available to them, to meet members of the
opposite sex in other than a dating kind of
relationship... Hopefully, a co-ed residence
hall will aid in breaking some of these
barriers that interfere with male-female
friendships at this university."
It was the hope of the Housing Office to
provide "an ~nvironment within a co-ed hall
which would facilitate a natural and spontaneous program of personal interaction" not
present on this campus _p~viou~ly.

88 PERCENT IN FAVOR
Results of the survey indicated that 88 per
cent of those students who responded to the
survey wanted co-ed halls, while 86 percent
would agree to live in a co-ed hall. Fifty-three
per cent of the polled students sai!} they would
move to a different hall to live in a co-ed hall.
Only 35 per cent of those responding said they
would be willing to move to another complex
to live in a ·co-ed hall.
. The Housing Office concluded evidence
from the survey of a high degree of interest
among students for co-ed living. However, it
was also evident that students were much less
willing to move from their other facilities to
co-ed dorms. Housing also found that there
are some students who do not want co-ed

Last spring an experhriental co-educational
program was completed by members of
Housing Office personnel staff in residence
halls. Subsequently, the President's Council
· developed a questionaire to survey student
attitudes about co-ed housing. Of the approximately 4,000 students residing in the
halls, responses were received from 2,232
students.
INCREASED RESPECT
Before the proposal for co-ed housing at
Point was made, a committee of residence
hall directors visited WSU-Oshkosh and Stout
State University, and observed their co-ed
dorm set-up. Since turning to co-ed housing,
these institutions report a reduction in the
abuse of alcohol. Reductions occurred also in
gross language and behavior on the part of
both men and women. "There seems to be an
increased respect for all persons," the Point
committee reported, "and behavior seems to
be more mature."

program to most denominations· of the state.
Several of the members have individual
projects which include hospital and old age
work, evangelism projects, and the book table
which carries contemporary theological and
secular issues.
In regard to these activities of the group,
Hewuse stated the "chapter tries to provide
its participants with as much awareness of
secular-religious relationships as possible."
IVCF, because it is not necessarily a massorientated group, has different meanings to
different people.
Miss Summerton feels that the fellowship
with other Christians which have a common
bond in Jesus Christ leads to a growth in
Christianity. She said that by looking into the
word of God a person becomes more like
Christ. She said that "through Christ a
person can find what the meaning of life is."
Hewuse said, ''Through IVCF I have gained
a greater awareness of what Jesus did for me.
No one of us has all the answers but many of
them have showed me the need to keep
disciplining myself to search for new truths
from God, but also ways to relate them to
fellow men. The group has taught me that I
must try to work out the implications of God's
message myself with His guidance not just
man's, and to do this before asking others to
get involved with it."
Dean Kruger, President of the
organization, said that the group can do
whatever a person wants it to do for him. He
said that associating with other Christians
can change your life.
Victor Fuchs, advisor to the group, said
that "most of the members of the
organization Jearn a Jot in the group by
questioning what they believe and understanding what God is about. In the group
they find a personal relationship with Jesus
Christ. The members ask themselves the big
questions in life, such as what is life and
where am I going."
Fuchs sees his role as advisor as a friend to
all the members. He is willing to counsel with
students who have problems. He is an older
Christian who helps to break down hangups.
And of course he is needed for form-signing
and other paper work.
I
IVCF is not anti-church, according to
Fuchs, but there are members who are
against established churches. Fuchs said
that IVCF has nothing more than the church if
the people in the church believe in Jesus
Christ and look for God's spirit in their lives.
He said that many students believe that the
established church does not do this and so
they look to IVCF for this spirit in their lives.
To those that belong to churches, IVCF offers
fellowship away from the home church.
Miss Summerton said that students are
turning away from institutionalized religion
and are searching more for the basics of
Christianity, not something man has devised.
Kruger said that organized religion is
hypocricy and kids know it. He said that kids
find reality in the person of Jesus Christ.
Some students who are turned off to the
church feel that any group Christ -oriented is
also as bad, Hewuse feels. But, he says, some
have discovered where God feels man errors
and where IVCF errors and where they and
secular institutions error. What they do about
it is their committment to God.
Hewuse further said, "We do believe that
IVCF can offer more intensified student
relations than the church, mainly because
IVCF is the student ambassador for Christ·on
the campus where the church is the witness to
the community."
,
The "Jesus movement" has not affected
most of the members of IVCF except that
there is somewhat of a bond between them
and IVCF because they both are followers of
Christ and his way.
Kruger said he is not quite as radical as
those involved in the Jesus Movement. He
says that Jesus has a place in his life but he
doesn't go about verbalizing it as much.
Miss Summerton said that the publicity the
movement has gotten has made more people
aware of the relevance of Christianity.
IVCF according to Fuchs, offers friends
with similiar interests. He says the students
can share and solve their problems easier
because of the trust they have for one another
and because the group has a Christian
framework.
Vance Hewuse sums up the organization
this way, "Being honest to God about your '
involvements is not something that can be
judged, but discussed, questioned, and encouraged. We can only assist the student in
becoming aware of the reality of God, it is for
him to decide how deep he wants to become
involved."

Who Is Melvin Laird?????.?
This coming Monday, October 18, will provide an
opportunity for those opponents of war and
militarism to voice their protests to one of the major
advocates of military force. Secretary of Defense
Melvin Laird will be on the UW-SP campus for the
Laird Youth Leadership Conference. As one of the
top civilian-military men in the United States,
Citizen-Soldier Laird is representative of a violent
and corrupt institution, the United States Armed
Services, and will come to Stevens Point on Monday
to sell America to a delegation of high school
students.
Recalling the Laird Youth gathering of two years
ago, we predict that this event, like its predecessors,
will be a crude propaganda venture. The last
conference, having all the trappings of a public
relations extravaganza, was designed to dazzle and
'win' the high schoolers, and we doubt that this
coming attraction will show any essential dif- ferences.
There are those at this university who will gladly
help Melvin Laird spread his message; they are
'friends of the military' and see it as a positive influence. President Dreyfus and many of the topranking UW-SP administrators are pro-military
veterans of the Armed Services; Dreyfus, in fact,
presently holds a top position on an ROTC board.
We are certain that these men will welcome the visit
of the 'distinguished Mr. Laird,' but these people are
foolish if they think that the force and violence of
militarism ought to have any place in the world.
Laird comes to Stevens Point on Monday to
convince the high school students that a perverted,
and perhaps dying, political order is good and
wonderful, in spite of a few noticeable flaws. He
comes to persuade the young that, though we have a
few problems, the system is working and that if they
embrace this system they will have decent, peaceful
lives. We think that Melvin Laird comes to perpetrate a lie, a whole comple}.{ system of lies.
Melvin Laird probably will not tell the young high
school boys that they may have to slaughter and
maim women and children in a war thousands of
miles from Stevens Point, Wisconsin. Melvin Laird
will not tell the young high school girls that they
have the chance to be the next generation of young
war widows. He will not say that someday the young
people will be aged and probably will be leading the
life of desperation common to many old people in
America. Melvin Laird will not say many things ....
But who among us will???

rfinancial Aids: Who Feeds The Student?
The purpose of the Office of Student Financial
Aids is to help the student pay for the cost of attending an institution of higher education. One
would be foolish to believe that many students would
have finished their study without the services of
financial aid. We commend the office for all the
assistance it has brought about, but we must offer
criticism regarding the concept of the working
student.
The purpose of the university is to teach the
student how to thtnk and act intelligently in the
world. ffecause of the importance of his role, it is
our belief that all work done by the student should be
devoted to scholarship. The university defeats its
purpose for existence by supporting a work-study
program. We cannot accept the argument that
work-study provides "good experience." In true
scholarship the knowledge acquired far outweighs
any that could be produced from the work-study
experience. We also cannot accept the argument
that "it will help one get a job later on" since the
purpose of the university is not job training, but to
formulate ideas on moral action.
Furthermore, work-study is pure prejudice
towards the poor student. There is no rational
reason why a "poor" student should have to work his
way through school, while those with financial
ability do not. The argument of "why should I have
to pay for someone else_,_s schooling," is as trite and
passe as blaming poverty on the poor. We can
suggest one thing in place of work-study- an
outright grant.
Higher education and the military have been
established in the U.S. for the expressed purpose of
making the U. S. and the world a decent place in
which to live. The military feeds, clothes, shelters,
and pays its members to carry out their roles. In
higher education a student's survival depends on
private resources for the most pat:t. The former
uses force to meet its ends; the latter uses
scholarship. A legitimate question to ask at this
point is why aren't students supported by the state
as are soldiers?
If a good university is to exist its students should
not be faced with the unwarranted responsibility of
searching for the funds to be able to attend it. The
money should be provided in order to remove the
business idea of privilege as a basis for attending a
university .
To the Editor:
Saturday, October 9, we had a
circus here at Stevens Point, in
the Quandt Gymnasium. Now, I
have nothing against circuses, I
just don't like them personally,
I do like to play basketball. At
(i:OO p.m. Saturday, 10 of us got
together and went over to the
Gym to play a game.
When we arrived, we were
told that we could not play
buckets in BERG GYM because
of the circus in QUANDT GYM.
Perhaps they were afraid of
"gatecrashers". As anyone who
has tried to go from one gym to
another can tell you, it is easy to
close off one side by locking six
or seven doors. Thus, you could
insure that those in Berg would
not enter Quandt without
passing the ticketaking booth.
Maybe, it is possible, that they
were concerned lest we disturb
the performers getting ready in
the locker rooms. Yet, there are
two or three sets of locker rooms
in the depths of the Phy Ed
building. Why couldn't they
have locked the doors between
them?
We were also told that since
there were no Interamural
personnel around, the janitor
could not t;:tke the responsibility
of opening the Gym.
"Who
would take care of you if you got
hurt?" The fact that there were
three qualified First Aiders
there, one a qualified Instructor,
does not matter in discussion of
the general principle. Today, on
campus, there are people
looking all over for money. In
that large group, I'm sure that
somebody could be found to
administer the Gym from 6:00 to
10:00 six or seven days a week.
Or, as the Intramural ·Department has already done, publish
a disclaimer of responsibility
unless certain conditions, i.e. a
staff member be~ng present, are
met. At all other times you are
playing at your own risk.
Instead, the Phy Ed ad-·
ministration chooses to close the
whole building, bought with tax
money.
One is tempted to,
wonder if it's only because it is
easier that way.

U.S. Capitalism's Dirty Underwear
While President Nixon was.celebrating Labor Day with a Billy
Graham-style sermon on the work-ethic, . the really best way to
make a fast buck was being explained by a Congressional
committee staff report. Unfortunately it got very little attention.
The report summed up the findings of an investigation begun
almost three years ago by the anti-trust subcommittee of House
Judiciary into the sharp rise in recent years of conglomerate
corporations. These monstrous concerns bring together under
one corporate roof the most diverse kinds of enterprise. Since
1965 they have grown with unprecedented speed. In the four
years 1965-68 conglomerates absorbed more assets in
manufacturing and mining than in the preceding two decades.
This was one of the byproducts of the Vietnam war, though the ·
report does not connect the two. The inflation and the
soeculative fever the war engendered alone made it possible for
shrewd operators to buy up other businesses at inflated values
and then recoup with "growth stocks" on a booming stock
market.

mores which mold our economy and threaten some day to
remold our politics. For as corporate concentration grows, the
threat of a corporate state grows with it. The 100 largest
manufacturing concerns today hold about half the total assets
devoted to manufacturing; their share is as big as that held 20
years ago by the 200 largest. The problem created is two-foldone is that qf domination and the other of corruption. These
conglomerates are feudal empires which can cushion themselves against competition by deals and by reciprocal
favm:itism. At the same time their creators corrupt business
management by various forms of what can only be · called
bribery to bring about mergers. They divert managerial energy
from productive enterprise to stock speculation. They claim to
be imaginative innovators in technology, but the one technology
in which they really excel is public relations, i.e. Jlim-flam. The .
situation is not improved by the fact that some of the biggest
conglomerates depend for their viability on Pentagon orders and
continuation of the arms race.
The report shows how insurance companies are taken over so
their surpluses can be used for speculation, how balance sheets
are manipulated to make hazardously inflated investment look
like "growth", how weakly the SEC and the Stock Exchanges
deal with these falsifications, how banks use their trust depart~
ments to help their conglomerate satellites on corporate raids,
though the trust accounts are supposed to be kept strictly
seperate from the commercial departments.
Yet these
disclosures were hastily brushed under the rug in skimpy stories
buried in the back pages even of leading papers like the New
Y01·k Times, The' Wall St. Journal, and the Washington Post
September 7 while little if anything appeared in most of the
country's newspapers.
Part of the blimie for tlie poor coverage rests on the Judiciary
Committee itself. It did it's best to hide it's light under a waited
three months and released it during the Labor Day week-end,
Washington's dullest, when most people were away on vaction,
and it was certain to fall into routine hands at the wire services.
l'hough the report had been on the shelf three months, and the
hearings ended in May, 1970, and there was plenty of time to
prepare an index none was supplied. with the report or the
hearings. The report fills 703 pages. The I;Iearings fill 7 volumes
totalling 6,310 pages. Lack of an. index is almost as good as a
censor's pencil. Some of Washington's smartest lobbyist- ·
lawyers turn up in the hearing record; they know their way
around.
Some Examples from the Report follow:
How "Insiders" Could Profit On Mergers
Stock price activity of thirteen of the major companies that
were acquired by Gulf and Western has been tabulated to
ascertain whether there was a correlation between price increases and merger discussions. The tabulation indicates that,
in every case, the common stock of the major acquired companies had appreciated in varying degrees from 6 percent to 67
percent during the month prior to the date the merger was announced. Column 5 shows that on the date of the merger, the
market value of the shares of all companies, except two, continued to rise. Column 6 shows that a substantial profit could
have been made if one purchased the shares of an acquired
company before the first press release announcing the merger,
A number of people have challenged the concept that large size
is essential to discovery and introduction of new products. Peter
Drucker noted that new technologies rarely emerge from a big
old company: "It is not RCA or GE that have the computer, but
IBM, which at the eve of World War II .had no scientists or
engineers and was a very small company despite the ambitious
'International' in its name. It is not the printing-press makers
with their seemingly impregnable monopoly who have the new
duplicating and reproduction technology; it is Xerox, which as
late as 1950 was a tiny, local shop."
.
In an address to the Federal Barr Association's Council ,on
Antitrust and Trade Regulation, Richard W. McLaren, Assistant
Attorney General, Antitrust Division, advanced the view that
technological advances are not dependent upon economic concentration, huge size, or substantial market power. "The bulk of
the available evidence runs counter to the hypothesis that high
~oncentration, huge size, and substantial market power are
prerequisites for research and innovation. Indeed, some of the
most careful studies find that, if anything, market power and the
security of bigness, with the concomitant vested interest in the
status quo, may have a stultifying effect."

approached by a representative
of UAB. During this meeting, we
were -"told" <more like blackmailed) that we had to organize
the disposal of the homecoming
floats, because we are an
ec.ology-minded organization.
We were also informed about
the release of helium filled nonbiodegradable balloons during
our homecoming game. When
asked about our feelings on this
action, we made it quite clear
we were not very impressed.
After discussing this matter,
we all agreed to take some
action on these issues. Our
presence In the homecoming
parade was more symbolic than
anything. We sought to
demonstrate the waste of such
playing.
Although we sought
to demonstrate this typical
wastefulness of our society, we
did manage to collect two
barrels of tissue paper, crepe
paper, sucker sticksi beer
bottles and wine bottles along
the homecoming parade route.
We will not waste our time next
yea•· to clean ·up the UAB's
homecoming floats and parade.
Our purpose is education, not
playing babysitter for our environment. We ask where does
this duty lie?
We hold that these floats and
parades serve only to per-
petuate the glitter and gold rape
of our environment. We would
hope that UAB understands that
to use many feet of chicken
wire, many rolls of tissue paper
and much lumber for a one day
showingoff period is indeed a
waste. Then to add another
insult to our enviromnent, they
have these paper palaces towed
arm,ui.d the city by pollution
emitting cars and trucks·. We
hope that someone Will see that
such activities are unwise and
end them.
If you still do not agree with
our stand, we will proceed
further. Four truck loads of
"good-for-one-day" waste were
hauled to our already overburdened city dump. <Did you
know that 300 tons of garbage
enters our dump each week?>
Do we really need this extra
waste? we do not think so.
But fear not fellow students
and UAB members, we did
recycle most of the chicken wire
and lumber. These articles, in
the past, were destroyed en
messe. You are not totally
forgiven though, as much paper,
lumber, chicken wire and other
float building materials did end
up in our hallowed city dump.
It seems that it is the duty of
those that build the floats to
recycle them and use our
resources wisely. If they feel
that this cannot be done, they
should not build floats. We feel it
is not our duty to play
babysitter. It is impossible to
clean-up after everybody.
<Although, we must admit that
these people have learned their
affluent society's lesson very
well.)
We would like to thank all
those people and organizations
that did not build floats. We
would also like to thank those
float builders that were ecologyminded enough to recycle most
of their float materials. We all
hope that we will not have to put
up with this ecological pornography in next year's
homecoming activities.
Last week two events happened in this area. One was
homecoming and the other was
the poisoning of the Tomorrow
River. Which one of these two
activities was more relevant to
the university community? Why
wasn't a moratorium placed on
homecoming activities and
thousands of students out
protesting the poisoning of this
river? We are looking for answers!

Pointer Prefers
Puking Perfection
To the Editor;
On the September 24 editorial
page there appeared a very
narrowminded
comment
regarding student scholarships
and University solicitation for
funds. I think that the author,
Miss Stenseth, needs ·.to be informed of the fact that through
the generous efforts of Mr. Jim
Boston, Annual Fund Chairman,
Mr. Rick Fredricks, Director of
the Alumni Association and the
contributions of hundreds of
alumni donors, $38,000 were
raised for scholarships and
loans for UW-SP students. Miss
Stenseth titled it charity and I
title it generosity; I am pleased
that so many alumni care
enough about the students
following them to contribute to
their education.
There is a difference between
charity and an award of
recognition and when someone
writes an article such as that, it
appears that the pers,on never
worked hard enough 'to learn
that difference.
I recognize the fact that the
Pointe•· carried very littl{! about
the Alumni Association Awards
or the' contributions the
Association has made to this
school. I did not see any article
saying that the Alumni
Association gave the largest
scholarships offered on this
campus. The paper seems more
concerned with the ugly man on
campus, barf parties, gripe
sessions, and he who can
protest, pant and puke the best.
Very little is dedicated to
academic achievement or
leadership in this paper. It is
about time it said something
about the many things that have
been accomplished through
efforts such as this fund drive.
Miss Stenseth also said that
the a ward winners "sell"
themselves to teachers and that

D-Day ForT
by Bob Lattin
On Tuesday, October 5, a group of UW-SP
students and faculty staged a protest on the
Tomorrow River above Nelsonville. They
came to protest the poisoning of the river by
the Department of Natural Resources, who
began treating the river with Antimycin to rid
it of carp and other undesireable rough fish.
The river, rated as one of the top one hundred
trout streams in the United States, will be
poisoned from Nelsonville to Weyuwega, and
all fish life will be eliminated.
Becker Comments
Doctor George Becker, a biology professor
and spoken critic of the D.N.R.'s program,
organized the students and set up a fish
collection station at Nelsonville to weigh,
measure, and sort out the dead fish to obtain
some basic data on the effect of the poison
upon the fish. The Citizen's Natural
Resources Association, of which Becker is a
member, sought to obtain a restaining order
to prevent the DNR from poisoning the
stream, but the request was denied them
twice. Becker stated that the poisoning of the
river was originally not supposed to take
place for a couple of days, but that there had
.been a high level meeting in Oshkosh, and that
as a result, "things had been accelerated."
When asked why the restraining order attempt failed, Becker stated, "One of the
judges'opinions in court on our attempt to get
·a restraining order was that we started the
action too late, but you see, we have always
been encouraged by the DNR to sit down and
talk. When you finally realize that talking
isn't going to get you anywhere, and that
'Day-Day' is close, destruction day in this
particular. case,_ then you move. Well, it
stands to reason that if you get started late,
you present your program late, and this is
what happened."
Becker further stated that UW-SP students
would do a great deal of checking on the
stream in the future to try and assess the
long-range effects of the poison, for the DNR .
has not offered sufficient proof that there are
iio iong-range effects. He stated that, "It is
true that we know very little a~ut the longrange effects of this particular toxin, that is
why, in academic circles, there has been a
great cry that we should proceed with caution
because, in the past, we have proceeded with
other chemicals, but one by one they have
simply been taken off the list of useable
chemicals. All that we are asking for here iS
caution."
Chemical Background
Vernon Hacker, the program head for the
DNR, gave some background on the chemical
itself, he stated, "The chemical is called
Antimycin, and it is really not a chemical, but
_ an antibiotic, that was developed by the
Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, and
is leased to a <company in New York. Antimycin is an antibiotic that was developed
from a cultured mold, and is very similar to
penicillin and Streptomycin. As a matter of
fact the mold that creates Antimycin is called

Fine Arts Dedication Cont.
~--
whom plans' for the Fine Arts building began.
The feature speake~ for the occasion
was John A. Flower, Associate Provost of
KentS tate University and dean of its Blossom
Festival School. Mr. Flower was appointed
Dean of the College of Fine and Professional
Arts and professor at Kent State in 1966, and
Associate Provost this year. Dr. Flower's
address was entitled "The Arts and Human
Rights: A New Awakening in our Society," in
which he discussed the social impacts•of our
times that he says are leading to the expression of human values over property ·
values. Flower stated that the arts may be
counted among these values and are involved
in these sociological changes. A unique
characteristic of our times as he discussed it
was the acceptance of the ideals of youth by
the middle-aged man as opposed to youth
accepting middle-aged thought.
President Dreyfus formally dedicated the
new facilties at the Fine Arts building. The
Peter J. Michelson Concert Hall is named in
memory of a pioneer in music education at
this university. Peter Michelson served here
from 1931 to 1954 and during that time
developed a band, directed the orchestra,
chorus and girl's glee club and established an
honorary music fraternity. His death occured
in 1964 at the ·age of 80. Mr. Michelson's
daughter was presented with a photograph of
the Fine Arts building by President Dreyfus.
Edna Carlsten after whom the new art
gallery is named was present at the
dedication ceremonies. Miss Carlsten was an
art educator here for 38 years and served
under 6 of the 9 Presidents of this university.
At Stevens Point Miss Carlsten was the only
art professor for most of her tenure. Her
duties included preparing teachers, conducting classes in the Campus School, and
handling. administrative duties for the one
member art department. Miss Carlsten
continues to live in Stevens Point. She also
was presented with a photograph of the new
building.
The drama theatre in the fine arts building
is named after Warren Gard Jenkins. Dr.
Jenkins is the longest tenured member of the
faculty and has been with the history
department since 1934. Between 1934 and 1943
he was technical director for nearly 20 major
theatre productions and recalls financing
part of the cost in staging the first "independent play." In the early fifties Dr.
Jenkins was named Dean of the College of
. Letters and Science, a position he held until
1970 when he reached manditory retirement
age. Since then he has resumed teaching
_history. Dr. Jenkins was presented with a
plaque which will be hung outside of the
theatre named in his honor. The plaque bears
a golden theatre ticket reserving front and
'center seats for every production in thetheatre for the rest of Jenkin's life.
Representatives of Mr. William P. Wenzler, the architect of the new Fine Arts
building and C.G. Smith the general contractor also received photographs of the
building and a special thanks from President
Dreyfus.
Dedication ceremonies were followed by a
reception in the Fine Arts court with enterainment by student musicians.

-
it in any way I can. But to say that there are
now three thousand more residents attending
cultural events on this campus as a result of
this building, I can not answer that. I think
when I originated that idea, when we broke
ground in 1968, it was a hopeful indication of
what we'd be working for." Hanford agrees
that the new facility is the cultural center for
all of central Wisconsin. He says that this can
be seen in terms of students. In 1967 there
were 85 or 87 music majors This semester
there are 254. He said, "If that isn't an impact
culturally in terms of the potential music
student going out and spreading love for
music, I don't know what it is."
Since- Ma-yor Borham proclaimed "FineArts Week" and the building is seen as the
cultural center for this area, Dean Hanford
was asked if the administration sees it as an
excellent facility for 'selling the university' to
the public. Hanford answered, "I am sure
that it is so considered, but I see nothing
wrong with this. I certainly know that was not
the justifying cause for the building; that's a
sort of secondary effect to be hoped for. The
primary reason for the building was to give a
facility with a beauty and an aesthetic ambiance about it that would enable students to
develop t love and skill in the fine arts and
enable faculty to have an area to be creative
·and pass on their own knowledge and Jove of
_the arts. This is part of the whole educational
process of students, to make them realize that
life is more than drinking beer and watching
the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. That's
great, there's nothing wrong with that, but
there is more to life and this sort of facility
lends itself to developing such Jove of the
aesthetic and the arts in students and in the
public."
When speaking about the structure of the
new building Hanford said, "I haven't heard
any complaints or noticeable problems with
the structure. It's a solid building. !think at the
cost we got it at (4.5 million dollars) we got a
bargain."
The Pointer had received information to
the effect that the set for the "Man of LaMancha" production had been condem"ned.
Dean Hanford was asked if he had a comment
on this. Dean Hanford: "I have a comment.
The "Man of La Mancha" set was not condemned. I was off campus last Friday at the
time at a meeting in Superior. As I understand it there was some objection on the
part of members of the Industrial Commission to possible dangers in the use of the
set and in ·the adjacency of the audience to
• parts of the set. To be specific, if you look at
the set for "La Mancha" you'll notice that the
stage is brought forward to the very edge. o
the orchestra pit which can be raised or
lowered. We have no railing on the audience
side which could prevent people from falling
if and when the pit is lowered as it is for "La
Mancha". The concern as I understand it of
the Industrial Commission is that people
might fall into the pit. As a consequence of
this they initially held up the possibility of our
opening last Sunday, until certain precautions
were taken. These precautions were taken
prior to the opening on Sunday and consequently the prohibition to use was lifted.
Basically the problem was a conceJ,>n for
safety of both audience and students.

A Cultural Explosion
The construction of the College of Fine
Arts building began with a muted bang. A
small-charge of dynamit~ turned the first soil
some two years ago on a project which has
taken six years to complete. The ide.a for the
unique ground breaking was conceived by
William Hanford, the Dean of the College of
Fine Arts. Dean Hanford billed the small
charge of dynamite as a cultural explosion to
symbolize the far-reaching effects the new
building would have on the cultural life of
persons from throu_ghout central Wisconsin.
Dean Hanford was asked in a Pointer in"terview to comment on what' those farreaching effects might be. Dean Hanford: "I
·think the best evaluation I can make in an. swer to that question is to indicate the number_
of activities that are now going on here, and
the number of people that show up. As a
- prime example take the theatre, the current
production of the "Man of La Mancha" is sold
out. .I think this is a guage of the impact of
cultural effects in this case Drama, as a
result of moving into a fine facility." Hanford
sighted other indications of public interest in
the art gallery and recitals that were held
during dedication week. He added, "Other
possible answers are : We were limited in
facilities and now that we've moved into this
building it widens the scope of possibilities for

Being critical and objective

the faculty and administration

Superpickers Roar Ahead
by Tim Sullivan and Mike
Haberman
The National Football
League has finally come around
to our way of thinking. Our
record last week was a . big
eleven rights and two wrongs.
Spoiling a perfect week were the
Rams and the Patriots, so you
can look for both of them to get
theirs Sunday. In our's and San
Francisco's defense, tije officiating in the Ram-49er game
was clearly one-sided in the
Rams' favor. If the referees
would have known what fumbles
are, the 49ers would've creamed
Los Angeles. Naturally , the
officiating in the other games
was quite good, especially in the
Detroit game, where Larry
Walton sneaked away with a
questionable touchdown. Here is
how the next football wars
should go .
Dallas o.ver Saints - The
Cowboys beat the Giants in last
week's Monday Night Fumble
Bowl, a game which produced
eleven fumbles. The Cowboy's
Duane Thomas, the wayward
boy running back, has returned
to action to give Dallas a great
running attack along with
Calvin Hill, Walt Garrison, and .
Dan Reeves. When the Cowboy
rushing attack fails, which is
seldoll}., Tom Landry's quarterbacks can always bomb one
or two to Bob Hayes, or "Turkey
Lurkey Traffic Robert", as Don
Meredith calls him. Look for the
Dallas Doomsday Defense to
SHIPPY
make ·Hoyle Granger (Oil
Grawn-jay) the Saint's first
martyr of 1971. Dallas wins by
13.
49ers over Bears
Cleveland over Cincinatti The Bengals began the season
with an excellent looking team,
but several of their starters are
now in the hospital. The key to
their offense is still kicker Horst
Muhlmann, and their defense
relie s mainly on luck .
Cleveland's Leroy Kelly is one
of the best runners in the game,
and their offense would be excellent if they remembered that
flanker Gary Collins is still with
them. The home-team field
advantage isn't important\ but
we know the game will be
played somewhere in Ohio .
Cleveland by 9.
Cardinals
against
Washington - Haberman sees
the Redskins remaining unbeaten. When Kilmer isn't
•
throwing touchdown bombs,
Curt Knight is nailing field
goals. Knight chalked up five
against Houston last week.
Sullivan likes St. Louis because
Haberman had the first choice
to pick Washington. Both teams'
receivers are better than the rest
of the league's ends combined.
Jets over Buffalo - This is a
tough one, because both of them
were shut out last week. The
Jets have a better place-kicker
in Bobby Howfield, but he isn't
very accurate from 70 yards out,
which is where New York
usually gives him the ball.
However, we're not sure if
Buffalo even has a kicker. We
figure the team which fumbles
the least punts- will win.
Whoever wins the first coin flip
will be favored. Jets by 3.
Atlanta over Rams - The Rams
beat · the 49ers, only because
Roman Gabriel watched most of
it with a concussion. The
referees gave Los Angeles two
touchdowns by failing to
recognize fumbles. The Falcons
should be able to score with
Berry passing to Burrows and
Mitchell. Cannonball Butler will
be running undern~th Deacon
Jones and Merlin Olsen. If
Atlanta's John Zook and Claude
Humphreys refrain from
knocking Gabriel out of the
game, the Falcons should win
big. Atlanta by 10.
Colts over Giants Kansas City over Pittsburg The Chiefs should barely squeak
by the Steelers, thanks to
Stenerud's kicking. Kansas
City's offense has been terrible,
but Hank Stram's boys still pull
out wins. The Chiefs have such a
complex offense that the only
people who can figure it out are
oposing defenses. We think their
problems stem from the fact
that they don't know how to
huddle properly. This Monday
night game should find K.C.
winning by ten. If Don Meredith
and Howard Cosell are replaced
by Chris Shenkel and Bud
Wilkinson, we will hereby refuse
to predict or watch any more
football games.
Oakland over Philadelphia Last week, "the Eagles tried to
get a jump on the rest of the
league by switching head
coaches. The move paid off
t remendously, as Ph illy
promptly produced a shutout.
Unfortunately, it was the Eagles
who were held scoreless.
Perhaps Eagle·defenseman Tim
Rossovich's attitude explains
why Philadelphia consistently
loses. In the locker room during
halftime last year, an Eagle
coach started yelling at him
about the lousy defense .
Rossovich opened his mouth and
a small sparrow flew out. The
Eagles' would have a tough time
beating Oakland's cheerleaders.
Raiders by 13.
•
San Diego over Denver Visiting teams ha~e to play at
Denver's Mil~High Stadium.
They claim the light air makes
their players dizzy, while the
Broncos are used to it. However,
Denver isn't a team which takes
unfair advantage of the climate,
because the Broncos run around
in circles no matter where they
play. San Diego's John Hadl
should be good for about 24
points before-he faints. It looks
like the Chargers win by 14.
Miami over New England The Dolphins' great offense
should be about ready to explode. The Patriots aren't bad
when Plunkett finds time to
throw to Randy Vataha and Ron
Sellers. New England was
responsible for two of .our
missed predictions, so we're
looking forward to Miami to
kick the hell out of them. ·
Nothing personal, but we just
don't like the Patriots any more.
Miami by 16.
Lions over Houston - If you like
scoring, Detroit is definitely the
team to watch . The Lions will
gladly give up 50 points, just as
long as they get 53. One of these
days, the score will be exactly
that, because the last two Lion
games have totalled over 140
points for both sides. Detroit
should manhandle Houston,
providing that Altie Taylor
remembers to hang onto the ball
and Mike Lucci decides to stick
around for the whole game.
Lions by 19.
Green Bay over Minnesota That's right, this will by the
upset of the week. The Packers
are a never-say-die team this
year, and they were one of the
few teams to beat the Vikings
last year. Last week, Minnesota
only scored 13 against
Ppiladelphia, and one of the
Eagles who make a touchdownsaving tackle had a bullet
hole in his shoulder. The Vikings
supposedly have three good
quarterbacks in Cuozzo for a
long time was a third-stringer,
Lee was a punter last year, and
Snead was with the Eagles, so
there isn't much to be said ·for
any of them. Might be some
injuries during the game, but
Pack wins by 3.

Stout Wrecks Pointer Homecoming: 21 . 7
r
by Jim Suski and Tim Sullivan
-The Pointer football team
made three mistakes in its
conference clash with Stout, and
the errors cost Point the game
at soggy Goerke Park Saturday
afternoon.
The Stout win, plus intermittent showers before and
during the game, combined to
put a damper on the Pointer
Homecoming game which attracted a turnout of more than
4,000 wild fans .
Stevens Point made many
mistakes throughout the game,
but three of them proved
especially damaging. Two
Point fumbles and a Stout interception led directly to all of
Stout's scoring.
"We made the mistakes that
led to the loss. We had big
mistakes and little mistakes,
but the big ones were capitalized
on by them for scores," commented a downcast Pointer
Coach Pat O'Halloran.
The first time Point had the
ball, it failed to take advantage
of a Stout error. After the
opening kickoff, Point started at
its own 41 and moved down to
the Blue Devil 44.
At that point, it was a fourth
down and six situation. Ben
Breese punted to the 10, but
Stout was called for roughing
the kicker.
That gave the
Pointers a first and ten at the 29.
Point's offense again stalled,
and Pat Robbins missed a 40
yard field goal atte.mpt.
Christmas came early for .
Point almost immediately afterward. Stout fullback Ron
Berg fumbled, and Steve
Zimmerman fell on the loose
ball at the Blue Devil 33.
This time the Pointers
capitalized. Quarterback Dave
Caruso carried to the 25. He
then threw to tailback Steve
Groeschel at the five.
Two plays later, Groeschel
scored standing up, Robbins hit
the extra point, and Point led for
the only time, 7-0.
Stevens Point's first mistake
enabled the Blue Devils to tie
the game in the second period.
Following a punt and a clipping
penalty, the Pointers had the
ball on their own seven.

Split end Dan Tentcher broke
open in the end zone on a post
pattern, and you can guess who
quarterback Steve Fedie threw
the pass to. Rick Henneberry's
conversion tied the score.
After Tentcher's touchdown
catch, Stout never entered
Pointer territory until the fourth
quarter. Stevens Point didn't do
much better, as it penetrated
beyond the 50 only twice during
the same stretch.
The defenses of the two teams

Kunstler- Continued
The Governor said he did not have ·the power
J:Q_grant amnesty. The prisoners said a
promise of pardons and commutations of
sentences would suffice. Kunstler left the
yard with this proposal. It was the last time
he would talk with the inmates. On his return
to see Oswald he found that Oswald had sent a
letter to the prisoners saying the negotiators
had capitulated to im . Kunstler reports that
th1s was done by Oswald with " malicious
forethought. ' ' But the prisoners had promised
safety to the arbitrators and they were safe.
Sunda~ evening Oswald had the negotiating
team s1gn wa1vers as Kunstler put it " so if we
were killed our families would have no claim
against the soveriegn state of New York. "
When he left this meeting Kunstler said " We
reminded him <Oswald) that he had 38
hostages and 1500 men in the yard, and we
smd for God's sake wait."
Rockefeller .andbswald had no intention of
waiti~g, said Kunstler, and at 9:48 Monday
mornmg 1000 state troopers with shot guns,
backed by the national guard and screaming
"white poYJer:' stormed the yard. In the af. termath, reports trickled from the prison.
Eight guards dead with slashed throuts · Mike
Smith the youngest guard had ' been
emasculated; two guards had been killed 2
days earlier and only the swift movement of
the state troopers had saved the rest. The
next day Commissioner Oswald took state
legislators on ·a tour of the prison. He pointed
out four men lying on the ground. " These
men", he said , "slashed the hostages
throats." They moved on. "This man, (a
black man lying naked on his back )
emasculated Mike Smith ." The Commissioner said they had video tapes of these
atrocities.
.
"Then the slip up came," said Kunstler
. The bodies of the guards were to ha~e
autopsies performed by the prison doctors.
The prison doctor had possession of the
weapons which the inmates had, the
homemade knives in particular. It is our
theory that the prison doctor was supposed to
from page 1
cut the throats of the dead bodies, so that they
would have the excuse they needed for the
troopers going in .. If there had not -been a
reason for going in, such as seeing the throat
cutting and emasculation, ·it comes down to
first-degree murder. Somehow there was a
slip up and the prison doctor did not do the
autopsies. The bodies were sent to Tochester
New York in an adjoining county.
'
At Roc pester the physician performing the
a utopsies made some remarkable
discoveries. Kunstler : "He reported no guard
had had his throat cut, no guard had been
emasculated , in fact the supposedly
emasculated guard Mike Smith is alive and
well this day without a scratch on him, and
that all hostages had been killed by trooper
bullets.
Kunstler quoted James Buckley a Senator ·
from New York state: "The person responsible for the murder of the guards should be
brought to justice immediately." Kunstler
added, "and I say Governor Rockefeller is
that man. Our country can 't accept the fact
that our high officials can be indicted. You
know if the throats had been slashed, a_grand
JUry would already be sitting on the accused
prisoners. Why should the Governor of New
York be any different? Because he's a
Rockefeller? Because he controls Standard
Oil? Because he 's the Governor of a state?
The Attica massacre is not a question of a sick
society. We can not live with 'psychoiogical
t erms. We need something more concrete.
What Attica means is that we must be
distrustful and suspicious of power, and be
prepared to go into the streets if it tries to '
overtake our lives. Only the people can stand
against the power. Power will lie )¥hen lying
suits_its purpose. For some reason we accept
the lies. Even when they are discovered they
create no great moral indignation. We have
no memories unless we are immediately and
directly concerned. I submit that when we do
get immediately and directly concerned it
may be much too late to use any memory."

Exhibition
Now In Progress
Refreshing as a sea breeze is
the Exhibit of 16 oil paintings by
Mr : Charles Romans and Mrs.
Romans <Miss Ethel Gilmore)
now being shown in th~
Lafollette Lounge at the
University Center.
The Roman \:!orne from Cape
May, New Jersey, and their
work centers around the ethnic
sequences present on that East
Coast seaside haven!
Their
worK possesses a ·drama of that
seaside as if it were recovering
from
a storm with debrisstrewn beaches, the wilo sea
and screaming gulls. The indescribable quality of the East
Coasl docks crowded with boats
seaking a haven from a storm is
exemplified in Charles broad
· brush strokes and Ethel's storytelling paraphrasing on the
canvas.
· The list of accredited
exhibitions that they have
participated in makes one feel it
. is a show that one and all must
see io realize the Romans'
completely individualistic
trends in oil painting.
The show will · be on exhibit
through November 15th and all
16 paintings are for sale.
