by Susan BlackmanA common question among

Connecticut College undergraduatesis what to do with a m,ljor aflergraduation. In an attempt to clearup this question. the following studywas conducted.

Miss James. Director of areerounselling and Job Placement

reported that the total percentage ofstudents going on to graduate slUdyis 30%. The percentage or studentsgoing on in liberal arts hasdecreased in the last two years; in1968.53 of our graduates went on tofurther liberal arts study, bUI in 1970there was a substantial decrease withonly 32 students going on tograduate study in this area. Forpeople going into professional areas.the number of students hasincreased. with 19 in 1968 to 37 inthe class of '70. The professionalfield with the greatest increase hasbeen law. intO which Conn had ninestudents enter last year, the largestnumber ever.In the Class of 1970, 20% of all

TodayToday is Hunger and National Priori1ies Day on campuses

throughout the state. While we have already endorsed thegoals of today's planned activities, we would today like to add afew words.First, recognition should be given to the mem bers of the

Steering Committee, especially Chairman Margo Hartmann, fortheir efforts in planning and coordinating today's activities.Among those who were especially helpful were regionalcoordinators: Jay Levin, Meg Gifford, Wendy Dolliver, JohnSchwartz and Molly Cheek. Thanks should also be given toCommercial Printers of New London and to the SouthernRegional Council. This last group is described elsewhere in thenewspaper.Next, and more importantly, recognition must be given to

what today is all about. In a year when there has been anoticeable absence of student concern, this day stands out,especially on this campus, as the most definitive and centralizedconcern that has occured all year. The concern we show todaymust go beyond what occurs here on campus, for here we aremore fortunate than others, and the realities that have inspiredthe emotions and actions represented on campus today havebeen drawn from what occurs elsewhere in the country and theworld. America and the world are something we are all part ofeven if our own individual and collective interests and actionsseem to be very small or not very effective. But both ourinterests and actions are important, and the former arerelatively meaningless without the latter. That is why whatactions occur today are especially meaningful and hopefullyeducational.

Thank YouThis is the final issue of the newspaper (Satyagraha, -,

Pundit) for the year. The Co-Editors would like to thank every-one who helped in putting the paper together this semester,particularty our business and technical staff. Lynn Cole,assisted by Monica Brennan and Lorna Hochstein, wasinvaluable on the advertising crew in setting up the ads everyweek and in canvassing the New London community for newadvertisers. Advertising pays about 1/3 of the cost for printingthe paper.We would like to thank Peggy Muschell for handling our

financial headaches-billing advertisers and subscribers, andkeeping the accounts straight. Patti Biggins deserves notice forhelping us with the iayout of the paper. Our thanks also to RevaKorim and others who traverse the campus on Tuesdays todeliver the newspaper. Terk Williams deserves congratulationsfor developing our most popular column-classified ads.As retiring Co-Editor, I would like to thank Mary Ann Sill and

the rest of the editorial board and all those who contributedarticles. The efforts of the present staff have helped to create acloser rapport with the College community, which I hope will becontinued and expanded next year. Mary Ann Sill will continueas Co-Editor next fall, joined by Allen Carroll.

P.M.S.

Watch OutThe Editors wish to emphasize that our mention of names

such as Jay Levin, Barrie Shepherd, George Daughan and thonames of certain faculty and administrative personnel whodrive on campus is done with an eye toward humor. Somepeople, however, have not realized this. We promise you that ifwe ever intend to be nasty or slander people, you will be awareof it.

Letters To The EditorTo the Editors:(This letter is a copy of one sent tothe Parents Committee ofConnecticut CollegeStudents)To set the record straight, let me

first state that I am an alumnae aswell as a parent. I resent the impli-cation in the name you have chosenwhich might lead the casual observerto think you speak for all parentsbut, in reality, you do not.I have read the various letters you

have sent out, including the letter tothe Editor in the college newspaperof March 23rd and I have somethoughts on these.First, let me state that I am proud

to be an alumnae of a college andthe parent of a student at a collegethat showed maturity and goodtaste, in conducting their protestactivities in the May 1970 Strike. Iwas informed about what was goingon and I feel the Strike atConnecticut College was done in ademocratic fashion with the rights ofall respected. I suggest that someparents spend more time in realcommunication with their daughtersor sons, then they might understandmore about their attitudes and theStrike.When our young people have

graduated from high school and goon to college, we know they areapproaching adulthood and hope wehave given them the necessaryfoundations for making wisedecisions with their lives. If wehaven't by then, it's too late. So Ifeel it is quite proper for eachdormitory to decide their own socialrules, within the college frameworkand we parents should have trustand confidence in their judgement.They are not children any

more-many can vote now and alsofight.I suggest that this group support

the Parents Fund Cue. morevigorously with the energy they haveshown and trust our daughters orsons to regulate their own lives atcollege. Be thankful and preservethe college that can give its studentsthe stimulating four years that Ihave observed.

Sincerely,Mrs. Robert S. Olcouac

To the Editors:I always walk to my car.

Sincerely yours,Alice Johnson

To the Editors:Because you have been offeredconstructive criticism is no reason toassume a cry-baby posture on howmuch work you pour into thepublishing of your paper. I agreewith Mr. Paris on one very basicpoint-that the Pundit (neeSalyagraha) (nee Conn Census)(what's in a name?) has neglected tofill its capacity as a journal ofcampus events. There is quite a lotgoing on here which does not reachyour six-page format, but rather iscrowded out by events which do notconcern us and which are betterreported by bigger journals. Notthat the situation is as hopeless as hemakes it seem; I think the"classified ad" section is a step inthe right direction, as is the scheduleof parents' weekend events. Butthere is more to be done; Ipersonally am used to a collegenewspaper that went to bedWednesday night and wasdistributed Friday n0011-a 36 hour

What's A Pundit?graphic by carroll

PUNDIT (pun'dit) n. a person of great learning; an authority;often used humorously. The Editors respect the right of theperson who suggested the winning name to remain anonymousin order to avoid lambasting.

Statement Of Ella T. GrassoAmericans across our country are

demanding peace-and still there isnone.We want a speedy withdrawal of

our . nation's presence fromVietnam-and are told to bepatient, that the time is comingsoon.

We want the truth from ournational leaders.We want to be told of plans and

goals in language plain and clear.In short, Americans near and far

are seeking and asking for straighttalk.In its place, we are fed baffling

arguments, and new words andphrases-euphemisms that cloudand confuse.We are told, for example, we must

widen the war to shorten it-andprolong our presence to remove it.We must learn a whole new

vocabulary to read a newspaper.Still a bombing attack will always

be that-even if it's called"protective reaction."Just as each of us can visualize a

hasty retreat-though "orderlydisengagement" now describes it.Messages from the highest level,

it seems, become more and moreconfusing.There's a high road-and the

President took it week before last inhis report to the nation when he heldout the uplifting vision of a timewhen no American man must givehis life in war anywhere in theworld-a hope we solemnly share.

interval. The format ran anywherefrom twelve to eighteen pages, andwas filled with ample coverage of allthat was happening on campus,complete with relevant photographs.The editor of this sheet was anEnglish major holding down fivecourses a semester withoutcomplaint, and was seriouslystudying journalism as a profession.The product of this formula was anewspaper with which no one foundfault and everyone enjoyed as auseful and entertaining tool for thebetterment of campus life. Isincerely hope that the Pundit willradically alter its editorial policiesso as to serve the campus better-c-Ifeel that the type of names suggestedfor your new masthead wasindicative of failure on the part ofstudents to take the paper seriously.Who can blame them, when thepaper which is in a position ofcampus leadership fails to take themseriously?

People's PeaceTreaty Attacked

WASHINGTO DC(WC S)-The Washington-basedAmerican Youth for a Just Peace(AYJP) has called the "People'sPeace Treaty," drawn up by theational Student Association

( SA) and three student groups inVietnam last year. "a disguisedformula ., \\ hich undercuts theefforts LO achieve a just peace.'"The pitiful fact about the

(treaty) is that it embodies thedouble fault of representing aminiscule minority In Americabidding for dictatorial power, onbehalf of a miniscule minority inNorth Vietnam which alreadyexercises dictatorial control:' theAYJ P charges.Headed by Charles J. Stephens,

AYJ P claims in its four-page"analysis of a political fraud" thatNSA has no authority 10 speak forseven million American collegestudents when it "lists only 535affiliate memberships.'While NSA claims that it worked

out the treaty's terms with the SouthVietnam National Student Union,AY jP says the South's four studentunions have never merged. "OneNSA delegate allegedly contacted afew representatives of the SaigonUnion," A Y J P says: "But NSA hasproduced no evidence that any ofthese representatives endorsed the'treaty."A Y J P's arguments LO the treaty's

nine articles arc summarized asfollows:Article I calls for a date for the

"immediate and total withdrawalfrom Vietnam" of American forces.AY j P says it fails to provide for asimilar withdrawal of NorthVietnam's 400,000 forces that havecrossed its borders.Article II provides for

"discussions to secure the release ofall American prisoners." AYJPcalls it "political blackmail," andwonders why the North would freethe POWs in exchange for a priorAmerican withdrawal.Article III calls for an

"immediate ceasefire" between theU.S. and the "ProvisionalRevolutionary Government" (PRG)in the South (the Vietcong). A Y j Pasks, "What kind of ceasefire will

there be if there is no ceasefirebel \\ een the principal antagonists?"Article IV prov ides for discussing

procedures for Insuring the safewithdrawal of U.S. troops. AYJPpoints out that it requires the .S.and ietcong to merely "enterdiscussions on the procedures't-c-notguarantee such procedures.

Article V requires the .S. 10

"pledge to end the imposition ofThieu-Ky-Khiem on the people ofSouth Vietnam." A Y J P counterswith the fact that the 1967democratic elections \\ hich broughtin the Thieu government were inter-nationally observed.Article VI provides for an interim

"provisional government 10

organize democratic elections."AY j P asks \\ hat the need for aprovisional government is \\ ith ademocratically elected governmentalready in office. Granting such aneed it asks "which Vietnamese "ill'pledge to form' a provisionalgovernment? The (Vietcong) led byHanoi?"Article VII pledges both sides to

"enter discussions of procedures LO

guarantee the safety and politicalfreedom" of South Vietnamese \\ hohave backed the U.S. and Thieugovernment. AY J P replies that"discussions" are not enough.Article VIII provides that both

sides "respect the independence,peace and neutrality of Laos andCambodia." A Y J P remindsstudents that North Vietnam has"consistently and massivelyviolated" their peace and neutrality.Article IX pledges both sides to

"end the war and resolve all otherquestions in the spirit of self'-determination and mutual respect"of Vietnam's freedom andindependence. AYJP recalls that theU.S. and the South's proposals onthese issues "have been rejected byHanoi and its PRG who have evenrefused to discuss them" at the Parispeace tal ks.The A Y J P analysis of the

"treaty" concludes: "It seems theheight of hypocrisy for theunrepresentative inventors of this'treaty' to believe that their one-sided proposals would be acceptableto the parties in the connict .. ..

The steering committee for Hunger and National PrioritiesDay suggests that the money collected that day be appropriatedto the Southern Regional Council and possibly a percentage tothe New London Hot Breakfast Program.

The following describes the Southern Regional Council:The Southern Regional Council has been advised by legal

counsel that all of the contributions received by it will be taxdeductible by the donor. Funds received will be administeredand dispensed according to the soJediscretion of the SouthernRegional Council, with the Advisory Committee acting in anadvisory capacity only.

The Advisory Committee for Hungry Americans will makecontributions to various recognized charitable organizationsin both the rural and the urban areas of the United States. Fundsto purchase food will be given to recognized charitable organi-zations that have been working with the hungry and the poor,It is expected that the following organizations, and organiza·tions of a similar type, will receive funds that are contributedto The Southern Regional Council:

-Appalachian Volunteers, Inc.-The National Council of Negro Women, Inc., for its hunger

cooperatives in Sunflower and Bolivar counties, Missis·sippi, and other similar projects.

-Operation Breadbasket, Chicago, Illinois.-South Carolina Council on Human Relations.-Mississippi Council on Human Relations._ The Inner City Apostolate, San Antonio, Texas._ The National Congress of American Indians.

Jules Feifer's Little Murders isnot one of those nicks with a clearsocial message, nor is it a depictionof a sordid way of life (a la MidnightCowboy). This superb film does notfit into one of those simplecategories. In fact, it might be agreat disappointment to people whogo to the movies solely for relaxa-tion and enjoyment.Directed by Alan Arkin (who also

plays the detective), Little Murderspresents an array of philosophicalquestions and unpleasant situationswhich playa significant pan in ourlives. The "film delineatescontemporary society as it affectseveryone of us rather than the life-style of a certain segment of societyin a remote place (i.e. MASH, If, orGetting Straight). The setting isNew York City, which serves as amicrocosm of America.Alfred (Elliot Gould), a free lance

photographer, is the protagonist.Unemotional, callous, and selfish,he tries throughout the movie torelate to Patsy (his mistress and thenwife) the circumstances that have

The minister (DonaldSutherland), having performed twohundred marriages during hiscareer, explains logically why onlyseven of them have worked.However, this hilarious satire on theinstitutions of marriage and religion(the name of God IS nevermentioned) loses its intended impactwhen the minister humiliates.Patsy'shomosexual brother.Upon leaving the theatre, I asked

the man at the popcorn counter hisopinion of Little Murders. Hereplied, "Some of it was prettyfunny." That made me wonderwhether Alfred's conclusions wereindeed far from the truth.
