On Destroying Leaders The University of Alabama's Student Government As-

sociation has taken some pretty forceful s teps. In a lop - sided vote las t Thursday night, the SGA Legisla- ture voted to impeach SGA President, Jim Ziegler. The CHANTICLEER c a r e s little about going into all the minute details of the proceedings. What the CHANTICLEER would like to s t r e s s i s the implication. As Pete Cobun, Editor of the CRIMSON-WHITE, s tated in his editorial of February 5, 1971, "we the students have been forced to suffer through this year of petty bickering between machine-v e r sus-independents, legis lature - versus- executive, politician-versus-politician."

Jax State has yet to impeach a Student Government president. Such action may never happen. I-Iowever, the University of Alabama SGA Legislature has provided for students a precedence that could, if the need s h ould a r i s e be followed. After long last , students can have a tool with which to control "their" SGA officers.

You're Wasting Your Breath In an age when freedom i s a commonplace ideal--either

being mocked o r defended--, grave injustices a r e being allowed to go unchecked. It has a l so seemed odd to this editor that those who a r e s o outspoken on trivia a r e those that c a r e so little for the whole. To make things a bit m o r e lucid: all of you who read the CHANTICLEER and who waste your breath with your self-rightous, "instant pro- journalist" cr i t ic isms of i ts content a r e those whom society (the university community) could easily do without. Only when the "Freedom" of cr i t ic ism i s utilized for constructive and useful aid can those about you understand your .complaints.

One of the wri ters for the CHANTICLEER told of a young lady in one of the do rms complaining, and with great indignance, about the method in which the university paper covered a particular aspect of campus life. She was forceful; she was outraged; she was "fighten' "

mad. But she was not forceful o r outraged, o r fighten' mad enough to do anything about he r complaints. Like this editor stated above, she was wasting her breath. The young lady was not so disturbed that she even wrote a le t ter to the edi tor . Apparently, she was really con cerned with her university. In all probability, the young lady never even read the ent i re ar t ic le in question. Very typical.

Thus, the grave injustice i s that no one ca r e s . 1: i s sor t of concerting to think that the CHANTICLEER

SARUE Confronts Stone With Familiar "Demands" 1

The Student Association fo r Racial Understanding and Equality (SARUE) in- terviewed Dr . Stone, Feb- rua ry 3, and discussed their des i re to form a black student union. Unfortun- ately, SARUE was notvery successful in their at- tempts .

One of the f i r s t ques- tions asked by SARUE was, "Do you s e e the imminent r ival of a black cultural course?" Dr. Stone's an- s wer was, "It might have i t s place but only if it i s made relevant to our cul- ture." When asked wheth- e r o r not the university was going out and seeking qualified black teachers , Stone replied, "We just don't have the money to get qualified black teach -

ers ." He is trying for a program in which Jackson- ville will "swap" teach- e r s for Negro t e a c h e r s f rom the University of Ala- bama.

SARUE questioiled Dr. Stone concerning f ra te r - ni t ies on campus and his views on a black f r a t e r - nity. They explained that severa l black students par - ticipated in fraterni ty rush this semes te r , that they had the grade point average necessary , but were stil l not extended an invita- tion by any fraterni ty to pledge. They felt there must have been some r ea - son fo r this. Dr. Stone's comment 01-1 this was that he would be "hopefulJJ that it would not be because of their race .

Bill Smith, president of SARUE, offered sug- ' gestion. He felt that 30 minutes was not long enough to real ly get to know someone. He sug- gested an open pledge period that would con- tinue through one semes- tc>r. He also stated that, "If a f raterni ty did pro- mote brotherhood, it would be the best thing to happen to this campus." He does not believe that all blacks should be judged by one black, and vice - v e r s a -

One way was, "Prejudice i s fortunately not a s bad a s it used to be. I think they (blacks) a r e ahead of what they were five years ago."

SARUE's main problem concerning colonization of a black fraterni ty i s that they do not have an advis- o r he r e on campus who i s a member of a black frat- erni ty . The reason for this being that there a r e no black male teachers at this university, and even if they were able to find a teacher willing to be their advisor, the administra- tion would have to ap- Drove him.

student union, but i t would not be black o r white. SARUE brought to Dr. Stone's attention the fac t that the majority of o r - ganizations on campus were white. Dr . Stone ex- plained that "It i s because of the his tory of this campus." The black stu- dent union would be s im- i l a r to fraterni t ies . It would have no discrimina- tion, would promote black culture, and would be a < d t rue" brotherhood.

The las t par t of the in- terview went along this 'line:

S A R U E : Why m u s t "Dixie" be played at football games? Why fly t h e C o n f e d e r a t e Flag? They both represen t a cul- tu re that t r ied to over- throw the government.

Stone: "Dixie i s played fo r the same reason they play it at other colleges. The Confederate Flag i s a symbol of bravery and courage ra ther than r ac - i a l i sm.

SARUE: Why not le t them play the "Black Na- tional Anthem?''

SARUE: You might like it . (La te r ) Why i s i t they can play "Dixie'.' here ,

but not ill Miami at the Orange Blossom Bowl? Don't they respect blacks h e r e ? People he re do not know anything about blacks. Blacks want self - respect . (La te r ) Will we get the answers t o our questions?

Stone: I could not know any bet ter than you. (Then) No, not necessar i ly .

SARUE: would YOU comk to our meetings and join our organization?

Stone: I would not join. I will come to your meet- ings.

An invitation was then extended to Dr . Stone to attend their meeting on Thursday. Stone had a previous engagement. He was then asked about at- tending the next Thurs - day. Again he had a11 ap- pointment. SARUE vol- unteered to call a meet- ing at Dr . Stone's con- venience. Stone said that they would have to check with his secre ta ry and that his secre ta ry had already yo;le 113me.

THE PROBLEMS OF THE a

"SILENT MINORITY"

By WEN SCHERER In an age of violent dis-

organization, radical op- position, and unmitigated retaliation, few mem - bers of the populace a r e aware that there is, in- deed, a silent minority. The abdence of such a real- ization is exemplarily re- flected in university stu- dent attitudes. For what well oriented collegian is not cognizant of such campus groups as the Stu- dents for a Democratic Society? Even in the social vein, the "Greeks," insignificant in num- bers, r e c e i v e frequent notoriety. In contrast, ignored and toea great ex- tent disregarded is the increasing number of mar- ried students, heretofore a small, but significant, pro- portion of the university population. And according to statistics obtained from the Jacksontrille State Uni- versity Admissions Office, married students form a more sizeable aggregate than all fraternities and sororities combined. Thus in an arena where recog- nition apparently s tems from verbal, social, and pictorial emphasis ra- ther than from numerical strength, the voice of a sil- ent minority remains un- heard.

Results of general ob- servation suggest that the majority of college stu- dents have limited know- ledge of, and even less concern for, the attitudes, opinions, and outlooks of married couples with re - gard to their academic, social, domestic, and f i - nancial status. For, con- t rary to popular opinion, young marrieds on campus hold attitudes a s solidly shaped by the university experience a s a r e the viewpoints of the single scholar. And, inversely, the marriage experience undoubtably patterns the convictions regarding uni- versity life of those con- cerned.

From an interview con- ducted by the CHANTI- CLEER, much insight was gained into the problems

of the young married cou- ple in relation to their roles a s an integral part of the university. Inter- pretation of the results revealed the unnoticed and overlooked to be f a r f rom insignificant.

In the academic realm, there was a general con- sensus that, although one's concentration could be di- rected more toward one's school work than toward one's problem of a date, better grades were re- ceived prior to marriage. Contributing to this situa- tion were the facts that not only was there less time to study, bur also that the home environ - ment provided other forms of occupation which as- sumed priority over scho- larship. Furthermore, the security furnished by mar- riage tended to diminish the importance of grades to the extent that one no longer continued to "sweat it too much."

Perhaps of even g r e k - e r significance in the re- duced emphasis on the grade point average was the sentience that, once married, one became job motivated, thus comract- ing academic inclinations. To a great extent, thecol- lege routine became a waste of time and a mat- t e r of p e r s e v e r a n c e merely. to receive a dip - loma. With the husband secure in an occupation, income assumed anteced- ance and the college de- g ree a bare token of status.

As f a r as social life was concerned, the f i rs t two years of college were viewed a s broadening one's outlook, but that the in- tervention of marriage had since curtailed university social orrientation im- m e n s-e ly. E xplana t ions suggested an interest gap whereby the marriedcou - ple, at fraternity parties and similar functions, felt that they retained lit- tle in common with others present. In this respect, whereas - unwed couples went to parties to have a date, to social drink, and to enjoy other pleasures,

the married twosome went to see other people, often not arriving on the scene until nine o'clock. Unlike their single contemporar- i e s ( t h e o r e t i c a l l y , at least), the young marrieds were relieved of curfew restrictions and, hence, the rigid tensions accompany- ing the possibility of pen- alty for stretching 'hours beyond the dictates of de- c e n c y . Thus, common meeting ground was once again obliterated. In sum- mation, whereas pre - marital courting consist- ed of dating primarily to be with him (or her), mar- ital ties transferred the thrill of "a night on the townys to the captivation of the television screen.

With regard to domes- t ic adjustments, a con- flict of previously ac - c u s t omed environments was viewed a s the para- mount complication in the adaptation to marital co- existence. Whereas the wife sufferedfrom the typi- cal frustrations of con- forming to her new role a s housekeeper and cook, sources of argument of- ten stemmed from pre- vious conditioning. In this particular case, for ex- ample, the husband, ac- customed to an independ- ence in family member- ship, met opposing stand- ards in a wife oriented toward a family stressing i n t e r dependence among members. Thus, disagree- ment ensued over such trivia a s the failure to return a certain article to i t s designated place and the superiority of one brand of mayonnaise over another.

As would be expected, overlying all domestic, social, and academic as-

f i n a n cia1 considerations. Both husband and wife de- veloped a new conscious- ness of expenses, sound- ly impressed by the value of frugality. For in - stance, the payment of doctor and dentist bills, taken for granted prior to rriatrimony, inserted the- element of choice into the employment of such serv- ices. In a lighter vein, the husband remembered viv- idly the o v e rwhelming realization that not only were women's clothes ex- orbitant, but that women were incapable of thinking in terms of one article per occasion, the female men- tal process tending to operate in triplicate.

As far a s employment was concerned, whereas the married female felt l e s s motivated toward seek- ing a job, the married male , had become more involved in business aspirations. For the wife, the college degree merely provided a certain insurance of em- ployment should the occa- sion deem such necessary, Thus, an immediate oc- cupation ceased to be im- perative. The husband tended to see through high- e r education, minimizing the importance of the col- lege degree. College was viewed a s the guidebook to knowledge, training for which could be accomp- lished in a matter of two o r three years. For the l e s s technical jobs, often considered too menial for the college graduate, would continue to increase while the manpower for such de- clined. Therefore, those favorably suited to such employment often felt ob- ligated to labor for a de- gree with inadequate qual- ifications, thus exhaust-

acquisition which would fail to serve their abilities in the long run.

Perhaps this cynicism toward the significance of the college degree is verit- ably a reflection of univer- sity attitudes toward the married student. For in- stance, no university hous- ing facilities a r e provided for the married family, compelling the college - minded members to com- mute from areas a s dis - tant a s thirty miles. With initially limited financ- e s , additional outlays for gasoline and general auto- mobile repair service a r e seldom welcomed. The question thus arises that i f schools such a s Florence State University and Pea- body College manage to provide fifty on - campus apartments and one hund- red and thirty such com - plexes respectively, why doesn't a thriving, ex- pansive university of 6,000 students and many millions of dollars at- tempt to become compar- ably oriented?

Perhaps in time sucii difficulties shall be re - solved. Hopefully, with furttier orientation toward the aforementioned pro- blems, insight and or- ganization shall be ad- vanced in such areas a s university studellt medical centers from which mar - r ied students will be able to receive low - cost, pos- sibly free, medication, a s well a s to acquire access to birth control measures and counsel- ing. Indications suggest that with acknowledgment of the married members of the student population, a new and broader aspect of u n d e r s t a n d i n g should emerge in the university

pects if married life were ing their time pursuing an experience. \ 1

The Jacksonville, State University Gamecocks took their fin,.l bows before a crowd of 500 at JSU's f irst football banquet. l h e banquet was f irst class all the way, from guest speaker, Albert Raines, to master of ceremonies, Malcom Street, to the excellent food prepared by Mr. James Haywood and his fine staff. Special guests, 3r . Houston Cole and President Ernest Stone, were on hand to lend their wit to the happy occasion. Several awards were presented to individual Gamecocks as well a s to head Coach Charley Pell, mascot Gail Myrick, Dr. Cole, Mr. Solon Glover, and James Haywood. Doc Lett re- ceived the Most Valuable Player award voted on by the team. Other players voted honors by their teammates were Jimmy Champion, co-captain and Most Valuable Of- fensive Lineman; Mike Little, co-captain; Boyce Calla- han, Most Valuable Offensive Back; Sam Johnson, Mos't Valuable Defensive Lineman; and Gary Gadfre'y, Most Valuable Defensive Back. Tab Gable was presented an award from the Madison County Alumni a s the player who best typified the Gamecock spirit. This annual award will be placed in the Athletic Dormitory for all to see. The seven seniors were presented watches by Dr. James Lett and the Calhoun County ALumni Association.

Speaking for the seniors, I would like to thank the people who made those watches possible. They will be worn proudly for many years to come a$ a remembrance of the Jacksonville State University Gamecocks.

I Gamecocks of Old The past games against Huntingdon and Florence re-

minded me of Jacksonville basketball home games of seasons past. Jacksonville came on with a stroug finisk to come from behind to break Huntingdon 84-79 and Flor- ence in an overtime 83-79. Each game had its s tars , but the >layer who con t in~es to i r lpress me the most is senior center Wendell Lawson. Lawson i s a junior college transfer from Sand Rock, Alabama, and he's a "scrapper ." Against Florence, the hustling senior grrbbed 21 rebounds and a season - .ligh 23 points. \:enc:ell's 6'4". h e i g ~ t should have mear't an easy night lor Florence's 6'5'; centc.r, Tommy Ledbetter, but easy it wasn't. Lawson consistel~tly outjumped and outhustled his larger oppon- -ent a ~ d made some really fine offensive shots to go with his usual scund defensive game to help send the Lions home wirh their tails tucked.

k n d the Brat Goes On With the apylause just beginning to fade from the

1970-71 season, the football Gamecocks began their winter training x o g r a m which slides right on into spring train; ing on Monday, February 8. Daily workouts which in- clude weight lifting, running, and agility will continue until time tz~ don me pads for spring practice. This is the part of football t h ~ t is seldom heard of o r read about, but this is the part that builds championship football teams. Al- though foc!tba?l scason is over, the time to improve speed and strength vhich lead to improve'd overall play is here. Woe be unto those who must line up against improved Gamecocks next fall.

It 's a long way from Clarksdale, Miss. , a srrlall town 74 miles south of Memphis, Tenn., by way of Watts, Los Angeles' Fdegro ghetto, to a comfortable Hollywood apartment com- plete with all the t r im- mings. B tit C h a r l e s Wright, founder, leader and driving force behind the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band, has made the t r ip . And he's made it without losing any hum- bleness along the way.

You might descr ibe him a s being just another face in the crowd. Plain. Sim- ple. But you can't. At f i r s t meeting, despite his casual clothes, easy man- ne r and a tendency to shy- ness , you real ize t h a t Charles Wright i s digni- fied. He needs no hom- burg, s t r iped pants o r am- bassadorial cloak. Iiis dig- nity i s just there, an in- nate par t of his makeup. And s o i s h i s smile-- one of the warmest to ever light up a room. Im - mediately you would t rust him with your last dollar-- o r your g i r l friend.

Dignity and honesty. There they a r e , plain and simple. And they a r e ex- actly what Charles Wright t r i e s to put into his music.

"Our most profound purpose," says Wright on the jacket of his band's la test album, In The Jun- gle, Babe, "is to c rea te music , inLeresting music that comes f rom the heart . We like to play music that comes f rom deep within u s because we real ize that the ultimate i s to get within people's heart. No mat te r how clever an idea i s , o r how hip the a r - rangement, if it doesn't make us feel good we know that i t won't reach our audience. It's like a rnan being honest with himself.

Whatever the music of the group i s -- profes - sionals say i t ' s a blend of rock, rhythm and blues and church music -- i t ' s hon- es t . F r e e of gimmicks, comrnercially o r any other "instant hit" t r i cks , the music sometimes comes a t you like a roaring freight train. Other ' t imes it gently sneaks up on you, infiltrates into yo'ur mind to where you find yourself peeking over i ts edge t ry- ing to get deeper down into it. Some of it you buy. Some you don't. But there it i s , a s it i s . No t r im- mings o r f r i l l s . Just honest.

Because of that fact, not all of the group's records will hit the top of the charts . This doesn't faze Charles one iota. Sure, he would like to have hit af ter hit. But he 's out to a c c o m p l i s h something much more important.

"I want to bring dig- nity to the name of the band," he says, "and therefore bring dignity to the ghetto. I want to get the ghetto people to rea l - i ze there a r e other things going on outside the ghetto and to participate in them."

P e r h a p s n o n e 01 Wright's hopes and d reams would have eve r had the 9pportunity to reach fruit- ion if he hadn't rnoved into a house which happened to have a piano in it.

"I wasn't musically in- clined a s a kid nor did I have r-iuch opportunity to hea r anything but church music because my folks were ardent Baptists," he explains.

In 1965, he for-med his present group. Only then it \?]as kno~vn as Charles Wright and the Wright Sounds. Some - t ime la te r , a friend sug-
