the University to have some kind of con-trol over rental, costs. In reply he saidthat "there will be no direct control bythe University over the rental costs. Theimpact of the University wouldbe strictlyin the market that the University pro-vides, i.e., whether that market can af-ford to participate in the development.So when it comes to a student need, theability of the students to pay willdeter-mine what is built out there ..."

In conclusion, the Chancellor noted thatstudies done well after Irvine opened in-dicated that the area around the campuswill be similar in composition to West-wood and Bel Air near UCLA, where"you don't find the same housing avail-able which is likely to produce low coststudent rentals as you do, say, in theenvirons of Berkeley."

With this factor in mind, what, we mayask, will be the final composition of Ir-vine's future studentbody? And, what willbe the composition of the surroundingcommunity? If students find that theycan't afford to live here, won't this ef-fectivelybar low income students from theUniversity? Won't the community of Ir-vine end up as an insulated, segregatedarea, where no one of lower status thanwhite collar technicians live, while thepoor remain squeezed into the whiteslums of Costa Mesa and the black andchicano slums of Santa Ana?'

We ask these questions in the interestsof creating a dialogue among,all con-cerned- students, Irvine Company rep-resentatives and University adminis-trators

-so that they will know what

type of community they are planningandparticipating in. Since Master PlannerWilliam Pereira's plan for the idyllic,university-centered community seems tohave been more or less a public rela-tions myth; what kind of community isIrvine going to be?

ly, as the development of the campus wasstudied and the resources of the com-munity (around the campus), it was pro-jected that it didnot seem likely that thesurrounding community could providehousing at a cost students could afford."Presently, Bob Hayden has indicated thatat least 40% of the total student popula-tion will have to be housed on campus.

The Irvine Company has no specificcommitment to build "highdensity"hous-ing on their land, but they are planningsomething on that order for late 1969.Mr. Terry Welch of the Irvine CompanyReal Estate office told the NEW UNI-VERSITY that "we're working now onplans for an apartment communitynorthof the San Joaquin golf course alongCulver Drive." But, he went on, theapartments will be larger than themarriedstudents apartments on campus, and norent schedules have beenestablished forthe complex yet. However, consideringpresent commercial rent schedules in thesurrounding communities, one mayassume they will be fairly high. Welchalso commented that no other complexesare being planned for the time being.

When asked about the relationshipof theUniversity to the IrvineCompany,Chan-cellor Aldrich said that "when the Uni-versity located here, there was an agree-ment with the Irvine Company . . . thatthere would be continuing conversationsbetween the University and the IrvineCompany concerning the development oflands in the environs of the University,in order to insure the greatest compati-bility possible between the campus andthe immediately surroundingcommunity,so as to minimize sources of abrasionin the future betweenthe campus and thecommunity." And, true to their word, theUniversity administration has maintaineda constant dialogue with Irvine Companyrepresentatives. Physical results fromthat dialogue, though, are curiouslyabsent.

Chancellor Aldrich was also askedwhatkind of arrangements can be made for

and, further, the arrangementsformatch-ing the Federal moneys by the Universityhas developed so slowly that we are notgoing to have additional housingin eitherMesa Court or Verano Place available bySeptember of 1969." September of 1969was the date originally projected for thecompletionof an additional 400 spaces inMesa Court and 150 apartments inVeranoPlace. Haydenpredicts that theseprojectswillbe finished in January,1970, butevenso the shortage will continue. It won't beuntil the next dorm unit is built in thefall of 1971 that, says Hayden, thehousingsupplywill be "just slightly short of pro-jected demand."

In further explanationofthe sordidfactsof the situation, Aldrich commented that"There were initially federalfunds usedin the development of housing on thiscampus, and it wasmatchedbymoneyfromthe University. The money from the Uni-versity was developedby bonding,and thedebtservice on the bondinghas reached apoint where the University has sloweddown the development of funds from thissource, which accounts for the delay thatItalked about with respect to Unit 3 ofMesa Court and Unit 3 of Verano Place(the 400 spaces in Mesa Court and the150 apartments in Verano Place). Soactually we'recaught up inboth the prob-lems of federal funding, initially, andUniversity funding at the present time."

One of the big problems that the Uni-versity has had inproviding studenthous-ing is the reluctance on the part of theIrvine Company andother privatedevelop-ers to build what is called "highdensity"housing on land located near the Uni-versity. At first theUniversityhadplannedfor 25% of the student populationto liveinoff-campus housing within walkingdistance of the campus,in addition to 25%on campus.Aldrich commented that "The(latter) figure that was originally cited. . . was related entirely to what hadbeen a figure developedby theRegents asan expectationon campuses,generally,ofthe University...However, subsequent-

A few months ago the shocked mothersof several young UCI neophytes learnedthat their daughters would not find anyon-campus housing when they arrived atUCI to start their quest for knowledge.Some of them wanted to take their daugh-ters out of this barbarian college, awayfrom an obvious danger, but alas,it wastoo late. The applicationdeadlineforothercolleges had passed and the machineryofbureaucracyhadalreadymadethedecisionirrevocable.

800 disappointed students were findingthemselves in much the same position,asnotices from the housingoffice pouredoutinforming them of their plight and curtlyreminding them that their names werebeing placed on a waiting list and per-haps there might be some openings in theWinter Quarter.

What had happened to the beautifulplans for a student Utopia in which allhousing worries would be taken care ofbyefficient, capable University administra-tors- indeft and shrewd strokes of com-munity planning genius? Well, to put itsimply, the whole thing was a giganticflop -

UCI Housing Coordinator Bob Haydenhas informed the NEW UNIVERSITY that600 students, who applied for housinginMesa Court, and 200 married and gradu-ate students, who applied for housingin Verano Place, had to be turned awaybecause quotas had already been filled.

Chancellor Aldrich shed some light onthe financial problems behind the housingshortage: "The releaseofFederalmoneyswhich are used as a basis for developingstudent housing on the campus," theChancellor noted, "has come so slowly,

ST LOUIS, Mo. (IP) - "Go ahead and smoke marijuana," saidthedean, "just don t get caught."

Probably no college administrator has ever given such advice.But Howard S. Becker, a Northwestern University sociologist,believes that such an attitude on the part of deans is the only waythat campus drug incidents can be halted.

Becker, writing in TRANS-ACTION, a social science publicationof Washington University, St. Louis, does not believe that studentdruguse can be stopped.

"Students want to use drugs and can easily do so; few collegeadministrators will decide to use the totalitarian methods thatwouldbe required to stop it."Becker believes that the deans are worried about student drug

use, but they are more worried about the "greatpublic-relationscrisis" of campus narcotics raids and students on trial. Yet,Becker argues, the more administrators worry about druguse,the more such embarrassing incidents they will have to deal with.

"Administrators," he concludes, "must take a calmer view ofdruguse and students must become -more cautious.

"The main obstacles to such a bargain will be nervous admin-istrators afraid to take such a step and ideologicalstudents whowisha confrontation on the issue.

"But college administrators have learned to live with sex anddrink. They may yet be able tolearn to live withdrugs."

Learn to Live with Drugs,Sociologist Tells Deans

record, all you have to do iseat 41 bananas in 39 minutes

—or spend 119 hours in the show-er.DougPennington, of102ALoma,

wanted to spare his stomach,so he slept on it until morning."I just woke up and said I'lltake the silly shower."On Saturday, Oct. 5 at 6 a.m.,

Doug began his transformationinto a living, breathing prune.By the time the sun sank intothe west, all hairless protionsof his body were sore, and hisfeet were grey.The Student HealthService was

unable to respond to pleas forVaseline, but students did sowith great gusto.Daytime passed fast. Doug's

hands and feet received therapyfrom a hairdryer.The resident advisor madeare-

quest for foodfrom theCommons.They responded with typicalgen-erosity: three cheese sandwichesand three chocolate chip cook-ies. But there were plenty ofgirls around with food and flow-ers.Some doperscame in and asked

what he was on.'"Whites," he quipped.He really turned on when a

girl shampooed her hair withhim. She said she felt guiltyusing up hot water in a separateshower.

Pennington's dad called to wishhim good luck.One girl wanted his autograph.Fellow Lomans were somewhat

less sympathetic. If you stationa man at each toilet in a dormand all FLUSH! at the sametime, a shower can be hot ashell.

Doug was egged on at a partyheld in the suitebathroom frommidnight until Sunday 2 a.m.The rest of the night was adrag.

What do you do if yuu're alive prune alone all night in ashower1? If you were Doug, you'stared intently at a pin-up girl(he insisted it was just a pic-ture of her face); you clog thedrain and sail a little boat; youtry to sleep an hour; you catcha fly, de-wing it and giveitafreeride in youboat.

And then you get to the pointwhere you want to leave yourtrunks and a dead prune in theshower and cop out as fast asyou can.

"Hey, Martha, the nut's inhere!'

Yes, Sunday there were lots ofreporters. A photographercouldn't take his pictures in thehumid atmosphere, so off wentthe hot water and open went thewindow's. And while Doug shookand swayed in an icy hurricaneblast, the photog proceeded totake 36 pictures.The marathonwas coveredby a

variety of news media: AP,RadioCity Chicago, KRLA, KHJ, andnewspapers in LongBeach,New-port, Santa Ana and San Ber-nardino." The New York Times phonedin, CBS and NBC gave coverageon the 1 p.m. news.

Applications are available for students interested inparticipating in the Education Abroad Program for 1969-70,it was announced.

Study centers in France, Italy, Germany, Hong Kong,Japan, Lebanon, Mexico, Scandinavia, Ireland, Israel,Spain and the United Kingdom (Birmingham, Edinburgh,St. Andrews, Sussex), offer a variety of classes for stu-

dents in all fields of study. A minimum overall grade-pointaverage of 3.0 is required for all the United Kingdom andIreland, and a 2.75 gpa minimum is necessary for all othercenters. Total cost of the year abroad usually is no morethan that of attending UCI and living away from home, ac-cording to an Education Abroad spokesman.

Students were invited to attend a meeting on Tuesday,Oct. 22, from 4-5 p.m. in the Writing Center, 126 Humani-ties. Dr. Paul Pitman, associate director of the UC Educa-tion Abroad Program, and Dr. Seymour Menton, UCI coor-dinator, will answer any questions regarding the program,courses offered, requirements, and so forth.

Applications and information may be obtained from theEducation Abroad Office, 260 Humanities. Deadline forapplications to Mexico, Ireland and the United Kingdom isNov. 15; for those to other study centers, Jan. 10, 1969.

More than 200 students march-ed on the Bastille of the Phy-sical Sciences Building Mondayto demonstrate support for fac-ulty members resistingtheheavyhand of UC Regents.

Students packed the lecture hallwhere the UCI Academic Senatemet to continue its discussion ofrecent action by the Regents,action whichcouldresultinstrip-ping faculty senates of autonomyin structuringcampus curricula.Regents demanded September 20to have justifications for Experi-mental College courses and thatUC administrators tailor coursesand campus activities to meetRegents' "standards of goodtaste."The discussion of academic

freedom peteredout asacademi-cians emboggled themselves inquibbling over epistemologyandwhichparliamentaryrules ofor-der to follow. Most fireworkson the issue were delayeduntilthe senate's Nov. 14 meeting.The student march followed a

rally at GatewayPlazaco-spon-sored by ASUCI and recentlyor-ganized Student Lobby for Aca-demic Freedom, headedbyBrunoBattistoli and Joseph Broido.At one point nearly 300 people

appearedat the rally.The speak-ers included Battistoli, StephenShapiro, assistant professor ofEnglish, and George Reiter,as-sistant professorof physics.Theissues were discussed ingreat-er detail at the rally than atthe faculty meeting."The issue is who controls the

curricula,"Reiter told students."The effects of this are farreaching,"he said."We'reaskedtoaccept the standards ofasoci-ety and not to initiate new stan-dards."

Shapiro faulted faculty senatesfor not respondingvigorously inthe past when Regents inchedtoward curbing faculty powers.This began with the firing offormer UCPresidentClarkKerr."There was zero response toany of this," he said."I think the rational and re-

sponsible act at this time is totake some action against theRegents."This action,Shapiro stipulated,

should attempt "not an irra-tional confrontation but astrate-gic show of force. . .to showthe Regents they can go this farand no farther."Despite the capacity crowd in

university to begin "to purgeitself of the racism it fosters"and "Remove Professor Reines'(UCI Dean of PhysicalSciences)neutrino research from apartheidSouth Africa; Repudiate the Re-gents' ban on EldridgeCleaver;Repudiate all six of the Regents'directives of Sept. 20, 1968."The Academic Senate over-

whelmingly rejected a motionproposed by R.W. Gerard, deanof the Graduate Division. Hisstatements suggested that thewhole hullaballooover academicfreedom was created by "Poli-ticians, led by the Governor."But he also suggested that thefaculty choosing Cleaver as aspeaker werepoliticallymotivat-ed to stir a confrontation andcontroversy.His resolution urged that the

before us is couched very care-fully, yet Ibelieve that everysenate member in this roomknows what the motion is allabout." Several professorshavetold students that Gerard's at-tack was directed at StephenShapiro, who has invited Clea-ver to lecture inone of hiscour-ses.

Only two faculty membersvotedfor the resolution.Despite relative unanimity in

voting, an undercurrent of don-trocktheboatism was evident.A few faculty members were

chary about admitting the press.A test vote came when Englishprofessor Howard Babb, appar-ently afraid of being accuratelyquoted, objected to a tape re-corder carried by NEW UNt-v^ERISTY news research editorLeslie Lincoln. The motion byanother English professor, Har-very Gross, to declare use of atape recorder inappropriatefail-ed by a wide margin.No furtherobjection to press coverage a-rose.

Anticipating such action, how-ever, the NEW UNIVERSITY hada number of reporterspepperedin the crowd, disguised as stu-dents.

After a lengthly discussion onthe meaning of "censure," theSenate passed a resolution pro-posed byGerard Van Hoven,as-sistant professor of physics:"Since curricular approval of

"The Division urges that thiscensure specifying faculty mem-bers be withdrawn inorder thatthe conditions of mutual trustand responsibility, essential tothe existence of a distinguisheduniversity, may be restored."Some members feared that by

asking the Regents to rescindtheir censure, the senate mightbe conceding to the Regents thepower to censure. From thedis-cussion, it seemed that manyfaculty membersbelieve that the

Regents lacked this power, alongwith other powers that the Re-gents have recently assumed.

Then the matter boiled downto a definition of "censure" asmeant by the Regents. Suggesteddefinitions ranged from an ex-pression of disapproval to pos-sibility of official reprimand.Some opinioned that the Regentsought to clarify themselves be-fore the faculty senate decideswhether to accept or reject the"censure."Said Hazard Adams, chairman

"The place that has everything!"

Culminating more than a week of protests, the Black Stu-dent Union Monday seized the Computer Center at UC SantaBarbara, and held it for over nine hours. They left voluntarilyafter the administration offered concessions on seven of eightdemands. Amnesty was later granted to all demonstrators.

Santa Barbara?The campus of parties and keggers and TGIF's?The campus where more students learn surfing than cal-

culus, where more money is spent on booze than books?Yes, friends, demonstrations have spread to that academic

playground by the sea, and the politicians of the state havefound another action to condemn. Assembly Speaker JesseUnruh was first on the bandwagon, saying the action was "ir-responsible dissent and cannot be tolerated." The Regents,whose monthly meetingbegins today in Santa Cruz, were ex-pected to censure Santa Barbara Chancellor Vernon Cheadlefor yielding to the demands.

Two weeks ago today, the BSU first issued a petition sign-ed by 22 black athletes, charging the athletic departmentwith racism. The petition was referred to the IntercollegiateAthletic Commission, which met Tuesday, October 8, andpromptly dismissed the three charges concerning individualincidents of racism. These included alleged "Athletic depart-ment failure to comply with previously arranged verbal fi-nancial agreements with Black athletes. . .negligence indiagnosis and treatment of injured black athletes. . .and lackof adequate counseling for prospective black athletes as re-gards eligibility and academic requirements.

The other three charges, dealing with institutional racism,were studied and dismissed by the commission two nightslater. The black students were angered and determined toescalate the protest.

Athletic Director Jack Curtice, in a New University inter-view, denied the existence of racism in the UCSB AthleticDepartment. Noting that many of those who signed were fresh-men, he said the protestors "weren't athletes. They neverplayed a down." He said the two black football players re-fused to sign the petition, and that most of the black athleteslast year had flunked out of school, despite the "free ride"offered them. "The very people that helped them the mostare the ones they turned on. We bent over backwards to helpthem in every possible way." Curtice went on to state thatthere was little racism in intercollegiate athletics. He dis-missed a Sports Illustrated series which charged there was

With their 'Resolutions of September, 1968/ the Regentshave made another point in their unceasing fight to makeIgnorance the guiding light of the University of Califor-nia. The Regents,Isuppose,expected that their commandswould be accepted as orders from Oh High. This time,however, they were not. In a resolution made by ProfessorGeorge Reiter, and passed by the Academic Senate at theirspecial meeting last Thursday, the Irvine faculty, led bymembers of the radical 'New University Conference,' hasfinally stood up to the Regents. The Resolution statesthat "no committeeof the Irvine faculty Senate shall com-ply with the Regents' Resolution No. 3, of September 19and 20, until such time as the question of faculty controlof curriculum is clarified.

The issue revolves around .the interpretation of "aca-demic freedom." If academic freedom is under the controlof the Regents, then they have the right to both grant andrescind it. If, on the other hand, academic freedom is in-herent in the nature of the University, and therefore con-trolled by the members of the University, then the Regentshave no control over its use.

The "New University Conference" and the "StudentLobby for Academic Freedom" hold the latter interpretationto be the only valid one. The "Student Lobby" is moreinterested, in the long run, in gaining a proper voice forstudents in University policy. The present objectivesare two-fold:

(1) to support the faculty in their fight against theRegents to regain and hold permanently control ofof academic freedom in the hands of the Univer-sity, not the Regents;

(2) to gain for students their proper voice in Univer-sity policy.' One important thing mus.t be noted. Neither the "NewUniversity Conference" nor the "Student Lobby for Aca-demic Freedom" is interested in disruption of the Univer-sity. Both organizations are working within the boundariesof the presentsystem, in order to change that system usingdemocratic means.

If you are interested in the "Student Lobby" you cancontact me or my co-chairman, Joseph Broido, by comingto the 3rd floor Commons or calling 833-5546.

resolution was ruled out oforderuntil the next meeting.The ma-jority of those present wantedto take up Regent's Resolution6, which charged UC adminis-trators "to take whatever stepsmay be necessary to assure thatfuture campus productions con-form to accepted standards ofgood taste, and do not portraylewd, indecent or obscene con-duct."During the discussion,political

science professor Martin Shap-iro suddenly announced that hehad a very strong resolution topresentagainstRegents'Resolu-tion #6, but that he wouldn'tmake hismotioneveniftheSenatesuspendedits rulesofprocedure."When Iwant to tell the Re-

gents what Cleaver tells them,"he said, "Iwant to do so in themost orderly fashion possible.Professor Shapiro told theNEW

UNIVERSITY that he intends tobring up his resolution at theNovember Senate meeting. Itreads:

"Whereas the instruction inRe-gents' Resolution #6 is in directconflict with earlier Regents'resolutions guaranteeing to theuniversity the freedoms embod-ied in the first amendment, andwhereas the vague wording ofResolution 6 invites censorshipin its most classic and evilform,that of prior restraint, this bodycategoricallyrejectstheinstruc-tion and the wordingof the reso-lution."

The Costa Mesa City Councilhas tentatively approveda mun-icipalordinance which,theyhope,will give the police the powerto arrest people almost at will.This ordinance wouldmake suchthings illegal as playing anymusical or percussion instru-ment in any park or on any pub-lic way without a permitissuedby the City Council. If a personwere caught doing this by thepolice, he would be arrested,given a police record, and, ifconvicted, punished by fine and/or imprisonment. Another sec-tion of this ordinance wouldpro-hibit sitting, kneeling, lying, orsleepingon public ways, with theexception of viewing a lawfulparade.Sitting on a curb watch-ing a friend fix a flat tire wouldbecome illegal,even lyingdownto look under a car for somereason would be prohibited.An-other section forbids obstructingvision into a vehicle parked onthe street by drawing curtainsor by other means. How manycars would then become illegalin Costa Mesa? How many ofthese cars would be owned byteenagers?Another section wouldmake it illegal to sleep in apublic area. This includesparks,park benches,cars, or thebeach.There are other almost equallyunsavory sections in this or-dinance.

Clearly, this law would have tcbe enforced selectively. Whatpoliceman would arrest an oldwoman sitting on the sidewalkbeating a tamborine collectingmoney for the Salvation Army;even though her conduct consti-tues a possible double violationof the law? The police say thelaw is needed because of a san-itation problem caused by a

by JOHN YEAMANSgathering of teenagers such asoccured at the Newport PopFes-tival on August 3-4. If this istruewhy then does only one smallpart of the ordinance have any-thing to do with sanitation? Aslightly more honest answer wasgiven in the Los AngelesTimeson October 8, 1968. The Timesreported that Costa Mesa offi-cials say there is no uniqueproblem prompting this or-dinance, only an awareness of"the temperature of the times."If this bothers you, or makes

you angry, there is somethingyou can do. Come CLEAN andNEAT (coat, tie, etc.) to theCosta Mesa City Council meet-ing at the CostaMesa CityHall,in the City Council Chambers.The City Hall is located at 77Fair Dr. The next meeting ofthe Council is set for 6:30 p.m.Monday, October 21, 1968.

The N,UC's firstmistake is theirlofty idealism. As usual, ideal-ism soijnds very nice; but withtheir goalsof socialtransforma-tion and ultimate rationalism,the NUC cannot hope to go far.Idealismhas never beenrealizedinpragmatic reality.Secondly, how can any group,

no matter how well organized,hope to remove more than onehundred years of corporate in-fluence from theeducational sys-tem, without taking a hundredyears in which to do it?Yelling,"Now!" in the fashion of BlackPower workerswouldbeless thanfutile; in fact, childish. Nothing,no matter how important, can beaccomplished inan instant.Yet, we may safely assume that

the NUC will persevere, willgain notorietyin the near future,and will persistentlyattempt theimpossible. And in the end, itwill be baggedwith all the otherprotest movements thathaveeverfound their way into the eleveno'clock news.Maybe the NUC will achieve

victory; if so, fine. In the mean-while we can startanothergroup:The Societyfor the Preservationof Wooden Toilet Seats, or theBirch John Society. Anyone careto join?

trast the good with the bad, webegin to understand the spontan-eous appearance of protest andactivist groups across the coun-try.The New UniversityConference

claims to be different, though,than the current protest organi-zations. This one claims to havetrue leadershipand direction,aswell as intelligence. The NUCis an elite of radical intellec-tuals "devoted to the theory andpractice of social transforma-tion."Well it sounds good to me. It

sounds great. But it won'twork.What has any other group of

dissidents ever accomplished?What has any studentactivistgot-ten as his reward except aknoton the head or an overnight stintin the county jail? What did thestudents at Columbia gainbytak-ingover a few buildings? WhatdoBerkeley students gain by boy-cotting classes? As a matter offact, noone has gained anything.Some dedicated students are toobusy protesting toknow whetherMOBY DICK is a novel or a ven-ereal disease. But no one has

No one said everything is per-fect in this country.The latest person not to say

this was our own SteveShapiro,Assistant Professor of English,who writes about it in the Octo-ber 8 edition of this publication.Anyone who "feels lonely inhissanity," Dr.Shapirosays,shouldhelp support the New UniversityConference, which is the newestnationwide intelligentsia pur-porting to be rational. This, weare told, is an organizationofradicalprofessors and grad stu-dents dedicated to "creating ademocratic and humane univer-sity and society."It's easy to see what it is that

society isn't exactly alwaysra-tional. The presidential racealone is enough to stimulatechronic nausea. The Republicanshave the gall to nominate YorbaLinda's only born loser; afterSenator McCarthy's unfortunatedownfall we are left with aDemocrat who refers to him-self as a Lonesome Ranger.(Names have been changed toprotect the guilty.) Meanwhile,Tonto Muskie andAvaricious Ag-new continue to stick out tonguesat one another. And to topit alloff, the Confederate candidatealludes to autistic desires of

crowded into valueless but re-quired classes with monotonelecturers; if you are allowed noindependent study or thought;andif, in fact, you have no say inyour education, these are all youreally can db.But is this the situation that

exists on our campus? Ithinknot. As on all campuses, somerestrictions are placed upon us;however,at Irvine these restric-tions are limited,and extremelylax. For example, we have nodress rules, save nudity, andour dorms are student-super-vised with residents having noset hours. As for our stodgyfaculty members, their averageage is 38, and as a whole theyare concerned and very accessi-ble (professors' office hours,usually two to four are postedon their doors). Irvine has fewcrowded lecture classes, withthe most crowded usuallybeingthe most popular. It is still asmall campus (enrollment 3464)and the faculty-student ratio ishigh for a university, 1 to 10.Although each division has anumber of required classes, theExperimental College and theUniversity Studies program(forfreshman) offer students an openalternative to regular class of-ferings. In addition, 199's andtutuorials, requiring only thepermissionof a faculty member,allow those who have a specificinterest to "do their own thing."Because Irvine is a university

we cannot expect total freedom.However, we assume that youarehere by choice and that youare here to learn something.The question is -- What do youwant to learn? You can be amartyr and ignore what is beingoffered to you; you can pushscholastic considerations into thebackround, protest, and becomea devotedpeace-marcher.Or youcan put these activities in theirproper perspective,and take ad-vantage of the academic oppor-tunities at Irvine.It's your deci-sion

4. While recognizing the primacy of the Academic Senatein approvingcourses and curricula, The Regents direct thePresident to initiate an explorationwith the Academic Senateof the appropriate role of the administrationin this area ofjoint concern.

5. Inasmuch as The Regents of the Universityof Californiain 1920 delegated to the Academic Senate authorityover ap-provaland supervisionof courses and curricula;and

Whereas this delegation is in the finest academic tradi-tion and has served the University well;and

Whereas, recently the Board of Educational Developmentof the Berkley Division of the academic Senate, under itsdelegation from the Division, has approved a course, SocialAnalysis 139X, or the fall quarter 1968, which in the opinionof The Regents has been improperlystructured; and

Whereas The Regents consider that in this instance thetrust that must follow such a delegation to the Senate hasbeen abused;

Therefore, The Regents censure those within theBerkeleyDivision of the Academic Senate and the Board of Educa-tional Development who were responsible for this action.

6. On the basis of information available to them the Regentsexpressed deep concern over the lack of propriety of the re-cent dramatic presentations and productions on Universitycampuses, and particularly on the Berkeley campus, andhereby instruct the President and the Chancellors to takewhatever steps may be necessary to assure that the futurecampus productions conform to accepted standards of goodtaste, and do not portray lewd, indencentof obscene conduct.

The Academic Senate, in their meeting on Thurs.,passedmotions which condemned the first Regent edict (only onelecture per quarter by unqualified personel) and stated apolicy of non-compliance on the third (requiring the facultyto submit a report justifying their conduct of experimentalcourses). We urge immediate faculty action on the FourthResolution. We feel that The Regents should be censuredfor their Fifth and Sixth Resolutions. The Sixth is parti-cularly dangerous as it sets precedent for Regent interven-tion in course content (dramatic presentations are giventhrough the auspicesof accredited courses). If the Regents gounchallenged in this interference with the inherent facultychoice of course content, what is to stop them from sayingwhich books an English class may read, or that the study ofhuman sexual response is lewd or indecent? Aside from theobvious ambiguities (is not a course in military scienceobscene and indecent) which make this edict difficult to en-force, it is an unprecedented interference with classroomeducation whichshould notpass unchallenged.

Apparently the faculty is concerned, as is seen in theirtwo resolutions passed on last Thurs. But we feel that theycan and will do more about The Regents Resolutionsif we,the students, unite in our support of them in their bid foracademic freedom.

While the organization known as Students for a DemocraticSociety represents only a minuscule minority of students, it hasmanaged to play a leadingrole in the violence,bloodshed and arsonthat have exploded across college campuses from Columbia toStanford.

Details of how this small but militant grouphas managed to dis-rupt college life are revealed in the October Reader's Digest byEugene Methvin of the magazine's Washington bureau. QuotingSDSofficials and members, he reports that the organization's ultimategoal "is nothing less than the destruction of society itself."

Methvin quotes one speaker at SDS' national convention at EastLansing, Mich., last June: "The ability to manipulate peoplethrough violence and mass media has never been greater,the poten-tial for us as radicals never more exciting, than now. FBIdi-rector J. Edgar Hoover has said: "They are a new type of sub-ersive, and their danger is great."

SDS s tactics include use of off-campus issues todisrupt campuslife, the article points out. An SDS member from Wisconsin put itthis way: ''We organizeddormitorystudents around rules, and thenit was easy to move them on such issues as the university's rela-tion to Chase Manhattan Bank."

The article quotes these among specific SDS proposals for dis-ruption of society; picking public fights with welfare workers;starting trash-can fires and pulling fire alarmsin highschools asas "forms of protest";making appointmentsby the score withuni-versity deans and registrars - to "overuse the bureaucracy";checking out an inordinate number of books to disrupt librariesand study programs; disrupting draft boards by registering undera false name so "federal agents will spend much time attemptingto track downpeople who do not exist".

While it purports to follow a line of "independent radicalism",Methvin reports SDS betrays growing signs of links to hard-coreprofessional communists. Known communists have sat in on SDSmeetings and coached organizerssince the organizationwas foundedin 1962; SDS leaders, frequently travel to Red capitals; two ofthree national officers chosen at last June's national conventionwere self-proclaimedcommunists.

While many SDSers are actively anti-Kremlin, they share withthe communists a common desire to destroy, to annihilateand totear down, the article asserts.

Citing SDS's role in the recent upheavalat Columbia University,Methvin declares that firmer action by school authorities insup-port of the anti-radical "Majority Coalition" would have avertedescalating violence that culmiuted in cancellation of classes atColumbia.

While acknowledging that legitmate grievances by students mustreceive "far more attention" fromofficials thantheretofore,Methvinsays that prompt action by students and administrators is a must toprevent campus-wideclashes in the future.

Sidney Hook, noted New York University philosophy professor,has said that SDS members "threaten to become the true gravediggers of academic freedom in the United States". Only promptaction by school authorities and the overwhelmingmajorityofstu-dents can prevent the grave from beingdug.

The most important aspectof opening day was the em-phasis on "women."

Like most administrators, theAmerican Council of Educationis a lot of talk and very littleaction. For two and a half daysthe annual ACE convention toss-ed around the idea that they hadto let students participate inalldecision making agencies-fromthe- Regents all the way downto the lowly Dean of Students.Of course, they have been say-ing the same things since theBerkeley FSM in 1964. But thisyear there was a sense of ur-gency among the rank and filecollege presidents. ColumbiaUniversityseems to have causedadministrators throughout theland to become suddenly attunedto undergraduate demands. Thepervasiveattitude this year was:"We really don't want to meettheir demands, but they've gotusby the throats and there ain'tnothing we can do about it." Avery healthyatmosphere for set-ting up meaningful dialogue be-tween students and the restof theUniversitycommunity.Then there was the naive view

of some presidents and chan-cellors: "Our doors are alwaysopen." For instance, inhis key-note address Franklin Murphy(retired Chancellor of UCLA andnow president of the board ofdirectors of L.A. Times

-the

Chandler Syndicate ) DorothyChandler, UC Regent stated that".. .the student populationis atransient population and, there-fore, much more concerned withtoday than tomorrow. Therefore,there are many final DECISIONSwhich can only lie in the handsof trustees or administrators,or faculty who are presumablyconcerned with both today andtomorrow. But Mr. Murphy addsthat students should be welcometo offer their opinions to "im-portant and definitive committeeand other types of discussionswhere policy is, indeed, being

As a matter of fact one won-ders whether Murphy ever heardthe student opinion in the firstplace. As a memberof theboardsof directors of Ford Motor La-tin America, Curtiss PublishingCo., and the Chandler Publish-ing Co. it would be amazing ifhe spent any time at UCLA. Ofcourse, his door was alwaysopen, but was there anybody inthe office? What would an ACEmeeting be without calling stu-dents an assortment cliched ad-jectives.

ROTC within a week. Unlike hispredecessor, John Summerskill,who was trapped in hisofficelastyear during a demonstration,Smith met the marchers half-way to his office and told them,amid jeers and boos, thatROTCwould stay on the campusas longas a majority of students want-ed it.Smith also said he plans to

review campus recruiting ar-rangements, which he said were"not too successful for many ofthose wishing to disseminateorreceiveinformation."

SAN FRANCISCO (CPS)-Mili-tary recruiters refused to cometo San Francisco State Collegethis week when they were askedto share space with antiwargroups.

The plan, thought up by place-ment director Vernon Wallacein the wake of several demon-strations againstrecruiters lastyear, called for a "militaryin-formationday" at whichboth themilitaryand waropponents wouldbe allowed to make their case.

But the military refused."We're not out to get into adebating society. We're out torecruit students," said one mi-litary spokesman. The recruit-ers may also have beeninfluenc-ed by the plan of about 150 stu-dents to dump the recruiters'tables into the street.

When the recruiters failed toshow, about 500 studentsmarch-ed to the office of PresidentRobert Smith to demand that hestate his decision on Air Force

A!" phy is just an example ofthe feelings that ran throughthe 50th Annual meeting of theAmerican Council on Education.Student leaders like EdwardSchwartz, President (1967-68)United States National StudentAssociation, and Robert John-son, Executive Director, UnitedStates Student Press Associa-tion, were coolyreceived intheirpanel discussions. Words like"communists" were heardcon-tinuously during the conference.Such words do not lend them-selves to " open and meaning-ful dialogue;" rather a definitelack of trust was establishedamong the members of the stu-dent press who attended the con-ference inDenver.Student participationinUniver-

"TheUrbanCrisis," presented by John W.Gardner, and"BlackStudentsandthe University," a speech byJames Farmer, were equallyasimportant as the StudentPartici-pationpresentations. These twoissues will be dealt with in suc-ceeding editions of the New Uni-versity.

Last Saturday night Partners for Progresssponsored a benefit jazz concert at UC Irvine.Having read the list of performersbefore Iwent,Iwas prepared for the worst, and after listeningto several hours of music on that night, Iwasnot disappointed. The program was a perfect ex-ample of dull,uncreative music,befitting an AlphaBeta supermarket.

The evening opened with comedian-musicianJack Sheldon who told a few very unfunny jokes,and then introduced a local group, the MarkDavidson trio. Davidson is "famous" for his longrun at Shroeder's in Corona Del Mar (formerlyChefs Inn). Davidson's group is a combinationof Peter Nero and bad Ramsey Lewis. It hadabsolutely nothing to say and their two numberset was too long.

The Davidson trio was followed by the HowardRoberts' group featuring Roberts on guitar andTom Scott on Tenor Sax. There can be littledoubt that what they played was serious jazz,,but it was lifeless, soul-less, humanless.

The second half of the program began with aset by the Jack Sheldon group with Sheldon ontrumpet, Buddy Colleete on flute, and Jack Mar-shall on guitar. The set consisted of humorousvocals by Sheldon and insipid musak by Collettewho played such winners as "Girl from Ipanema"and "Tenderly."After this set Iwas so frustrated

captured in time as he is captured in the montageof still lifes. The director of this film statesthe purpose of this theme in one of the nar-rator's statements during the film, ".. . mo-ments are only made memorable by the scarsthey leave. The audience wasmemorablyscarred.

The first visually imbibed hallucinogenicdrughas been introduced on the UCI campus. It'scalled New Cinema. The mind reels and the bodyfeels as one watches these films. All nine ofthem are excellent, so Iwill discuss three ofthem that are representative of new cinematictechniques and contents.

A new type cartoon is revealed in the animatedpop-art short, "Enter Hamlet" by Mogubgub. Thefilm treats a Hamlet soliloquy, the visual trackdisplays a 'still" cartoon containing the wordbeing spoken by the narrator and adrawing usingthis word in a different context. So, actually,there is a double story line. The Hamlet soli-loquy (audio) displays the usual Hamlet indecisionsyndrome, while the cartoon gives an absurdist-flash-picture of a rapidly moving world withoutany contextual meaning or nexus. Walt Disneymay have originatedthe cartoon form, but Mogub-gub is no Mickey Mouse.

Corrida Interdite by Daunant is an example ofhow a documentary film can move an audienceemotionally as well as inform it intellectually.The film is comprised of clips from bull fightsshown in slow motion without any narration.It isa difficult film for Americans to stomach, duemainly to our lack of interest in bull fights orour revulsion to them. However, this film changedmy revulsion into an understanding of what bullfighting is about. Through the slow motion techni-que one could observe the infinite grace of thematador, the magestic strength of the bull, andhow the mixture of the two produce the spectaclehighly prized by most of the world. The audienceis subjected to a tragic-catharsis (similar to thatproduced in the Greek tragedies) in the bull facingiminentdeath uncomprehendinglybutwithprideanddignity.From thisfilmIintellectuallylearnedaboutthe techniques of bullfighting, and Iemotionallyfelt the catharsis which is paramount in theunder-standing of the art of this sport.

La Jetee by Marker is a science fiction filmabout a man who travels ina time back to the daysbefore WW II. Actually La Jetee is less amoviethan it is a still-life montage. The film is com-prised of still lifes which, when considered in-dividually, are fantastically beautiful, and whenconsidered collectively leave one with a feelingsimilar to that of waking up in the morning witha soft fuzzy warmth filling the body. The man is

discarded, and was found again and usedeventually as a part of a passive new-object called art, it still brings forthany associative images we might havelearned into it, as well as generatinga new experience as it acts with itssurrounding components, and the resultis finally a little more than fifty percent literary. The other percentage isour physical-emotional response to thesurface which in many cases iurns outto be a mixture of dirt, wax,hair, feath-ers, nylon stockings, and unidentifiablecrud.When we approach for example Fred

Mason's "Up's Brother" there are someunpleasant images one cannot avoid

—the spiney seeds stuck to the toy holster,the soft, curly hair in the pubic zoneof the flaking dummy, the disgustingdriedpink and yellowclay.But theimagesare carefully chosen, obviously, and nottoo subtly.

Some pieces are almostover-whelmingand become like diaries, scrapbooks,ormemory vaults opened for the first timelike the "Marilyn Monroe Box" by FredMason. Some are beautiful, delicatelyarranged pieces of nostalgialike '^hiteGlove Cross" by George Hermes, withitssoft blue glass. Some are more chattyand eager to be understood like Kien-holtz' "John Doe"and Jane Doe." Someare friendly and entertaining like "TheAce" by Een Talbert, while the oppositeis Bruce Connor's "Homage to MinnieMouse," where nylon stockings and de-cayedroses become terrifying.There are some tenuous linkr in this

art to the slick funk 6t San Fr icisco,but in this Los Angeles art there i.~sbeena perverseblack twist to the concern withsex so that the whole scheme of decay,memory, time,chance,obsoletism,of OB-JECTS is related to human equivalents.Connor especially works on themes ofhuman bestiality,sadism,perversity,non-sensual sex. Whereas funk deals with akind of total genitalization of the world,these California Assemblagists represssensuality and magnify the obscene intoonly that having to do with the humansexualact.

by AMY SNEYDTo isolate these sculptures ina sterile,

white-washed gallery, and to point tothem and to say in one's best museum-modulated, art-knowledgeable voice,"found object assemblage," is to denyat once half of the reality of the works.For, as was pointed out in the AbstractExpressionistCeramics showof twoyearsago, a kind of artist is functioning es-pecially on the West Coast for whomARTFORUM magazinemeans nothing, forwhom the Eastern critics' definition ofwhat art is and may be means nothing,and for whom the world does not, infact, end with the stop light at the endof La Cienega Blvd. These artists arenot necessarily invited to Frank Stella'shouse when the group gathers to make ithappen, and these artists cannot listthe museums in whose permanent col-lections their work iskept.Wallace Berman, Ed Kienholz, George

Herms, Bruce Connor, Fred Mason, andBen Talbert are concerned withproduc-ing a very private art loaded withhighlypersonal imagery. They workoutside notonly suburban plastic television societybut also the super-sophistocated chromeart world. Tounderstandtheirself-chosenposition, one need only think about howthey go aboutproducing one of the piecesof "assemblage." Objects are, first ofall,a big thing in their li\es. Thatmeans,they look at objects, collect them, savethem, arrange them constantly. Arrange-ments of objects willsitaroundformonthsuntil the right combination is achievedand the right mixture of surface andimage fixed.In other words, these artists are con-

cerned with the privatemeaningthe sculp-ture comes to have for them, with theautomaticallytransportedimages broughtalong with the pieces of the piece, cer-tain running themes such as sex-death-repulsion, or sex-patriotism,or decay-nostalgia, and finally, theyare concernedwith the physical surface, the form andcolor of the work.The second consideration is one of the

most intrinsically important to the as-sembled sculpture. Obviously, when anobject that had a previoususe, was once

that Icould hardly listen to ShellyManne's group.Ilistened to onenumber by Manne which was adequate.
