************* * * rLaw and * During the early sixties, there was a movement in Czechoslavokian films emphasizing the subtle complexity of everyday existence. In 1968 when Russia smothered Czechoslavakia with it's " protective" troops , many of the artists of the genre were forced to seek refuge in this country. One of the finest, Ivan Passer, came to America and has attempted to compromise his intricate insights into the common people with the more lucrative visions of Hollywood. His latest attempt, Law and Disorder, is an excellent example of this schizophrenic a1ti_t_ude. The film's depth is

marred by sporadic attempts at gut level humor. Dramatic vignettes are waylaid by over­stressed ironies, destroying the film 's continuity. Passer has managed to capture a slice of Americana , despite the naivete of the concepts he is compelled to embody.

Life in Law and Disorder, is banal and frustrating . Middle class tenants of a co-op ban together to form an auxiliary police force, to protect them­selves from a daily confrontation with crime. The characters are "little men " whose destinies have been wrung out by the establishment, whose only source of potency has been a

maintenance of their macho image and control of their wives and families. When their individual strength is enhanced by the group identity of a uniform and a badge, they don't know how to deal with their own force .

As the old saying goes, " Absolute power corrupts absolutely." Ultimately, their corruption brings about their downfall.

driver. With sensitivity, he develops an intimate portrait of a patient man whom the fates have written off. Ernest Borgnine, as his beleaguered best friend, displays his own versatile talents . They are playing stereotypes of the American male, yet beth give of themselves consciously in creat­ing memorable characters .

Law and Disorder fails to

accommodate viewer who is accustomed to rigidly structured plots and fast paced action. The more sophisticated film goer will be disappointed in the unfulfilled promise of discovering the essence of middle class morality. But the genre holds great potential for an in-depth analysis of our culture and hopefully film makers will begin to utilize it .

Redeeming the film , is an almost brilliant performance by Carroll O'Connor of " All in the Family" fame . His role is much the same as that in his tele­vision series, from his earthy nuances to his job as a cab

Q: When shopping for an amplifier/ receiver, I have seen the term signal-to-noise ratio mentioned in the specifications. What does this mean and what is the best, a high or low ratio?

A: Signal to noise ratio 1s the ratio between (wanted} signal and (unwanted} noise delivered by the amplifier at maximum volume setting with the tone controls set in the off or "flat" position. Decibels (dB} is the method of showing this ratio. Generally when comparing amplifiers, the higher the dB ratio for SIN (signal to noise}. the less noise and hum there will be. SI N ratios will usually be listed for each amplifier input function , such as phono, tape, tuner. etc. A 65dB rating shows that only 1/2000 of the signal will be noise, 75dB means that I 16000 will be noise; generally the higher the SI N dB rating, the better.

Just about any John Mayall concert one might witness over the years is bound to be historical. Historical in the sense that the musicians collected for that particular , performance might never be seen playing together again by the normal concert-goer.

Mayall the English bluesman has been noted for innovating and recruiting . Look at the talent that has passed through the Mayall machine: Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor. Keef Hartley and many more.

Thursday night Mayall will hit Bozeman with a new band, a new sound and some familiar faces.

Mayall has gone pretty much American in his staffing of the current group. Remember " USA Union?" The fiddle work? Don " Sugarcane" Harris is back again. So is onetime Canned Heat bassist Larry Taylor. And percussion master Soko Richardson.

Some totally new additions to Mayal l' s crew are : North Carolina-born Jay Spell on key­boards, Ph i ladelphian Rick Vito on gu itar and the lady from Kansas, Dee McKinnie on vocals.

Spell has done session work wtm Tower o1 Power, Jose Feliciano, Poco, David Clayton Thomas and others.

Twenty-five year old Vito has worked with Delaney & Bonnie, Todd Rundgren, Little Richard and Spanky & Our Gang. He was in Memphis working sessions with Steve Cropper when friend Larry Taylor steered him onto the gig with Mayall.

Vocalist Dee McKinnie once did a Red Foley show in M issouri when she was seven . She has since worked in and out of Memphis singing with various artists including the Jeff Beck Group and If. She met up with Mayall during Clapton's concert in Memphis. " John and I just hit it off vocally," ' she says of their first meeting.

Preceeding the Mayall show will be the new British group, Dog Soldier. The founder of this band is onetime Mayall side ­man Keef Hartley. Hartley drummed for Mayall on Crusade and The Diary Of A Band . He acquired early distinction as the drummer who replaced Ringo Starr in the Liverpudlian group, Rory Storm and the Hurricanes, when Ringo left to join the Beatles.

The fairytale of Colstrip Fiction lovers will be interested to know that the

continuing saga of Montana Power andtheir efforts to marry two incompatible forces -energy arid the environment - is now on the market in pamphlet form.

Also known by the title, 'It's not nice to rape Mother Nature - but it's too late to pull out now: MPC's new thriller is available at their flashy, yet modest. booth at the Winter Fair .

The cover of the pamphlet is sure to attract the eye of even the most apathetic passer-by, as is the inside. Actual -photo's of the striking green landscape, wild hickory nuts. and Rock Mountain pines surrounding Colstrip, enhance the story - painting a picture of the project's future beauty and attractiveness.

Inside the pamphlets, the colorful author tells the exciting story of a ghost town - desolate and barren - and how a great god descended upon the forsaken grounds, spreading wealth and sewer facilities to be shared by the people.

The fairytale town of Colstrip. And a fairytale it is. There is no doubt in my mind that there are wonderful plans under­way to make Colstrip one of the 'nicest little suburbias· in the country. But little suburbias are not high on the market in this state.

Especially a sickeningly 'ultra-suburbian' village with a view of its very own uptown skid-row area, right across the tracks.

If Colstrip units 3 and 4 are allowed to be built, this is what the little town of Colstrip will have to offer; because the 'shanty town' that has already developed thanks to units 1 and 2, is the home for all the 'fly-by-n ight' workers at Colstrip. The temporary workers constructing the plants live in rows of off-the-track campers that dot the muddy, treeless areas like anthills on a prairie.

It's an ugly sight that will never get any better. As long as Colstrip keeps developing, 'shanty town' will be ever present. And helping "shanty town' keep the image of Colstrip will be the beauty of the generating sites, and the mines.

When you hear Montana Power talk about the future of 'Montana's newest town'; a town with a library, baseball fields. and parks, and with fishing and hunting nearby; a town with new homes, a shopping center. landscaping, and new streets; a town with a predicted stable population of between 2,000 and 3,000 people; think about the view its residents will have on the other side of the tracks . . . if they can see that far.

Just another of the many ways Montana Power is helping Montana grow.

He who comes late bitch s loudest To the Editor,

Michael P. Theisen, Cultural Affairs Board , and Innocent Bystanders:

The point is: MSU needed a place in which a

performarn::e could be presented where everything could be heard clearly, and where everyone who wanted could flt- a Reena/ Hall. But once again the Planning, or Re ­planning, Committee goofed, and we were probably lucky to get the first half.

Apparently we are stuck with the " Recital Hair · as 1t 1s . and are going to have to live with 1t

We do have the place, and we do have the opponun1ty to try to make 1t into something special - a Rectial Hall (as opposed to an auditorium). anyway We can stan a tradition now of simple etiquette - like not letting

pPnple wander in and out du ring pieces, etc., - and end up with a lasting atmosphere of respect for music and its performers.

I do not appreciate someone telling me or anyone else to get ou t of the aisles so they can sit there them­selves

I do not like people s1tt1ng on the stage. Audiences are d1stract1ng enough - dropping. reading , or rattling programs. whispering. dropping glasses and pens, losing shoes, not to mention the strange things people wear to concerts -without putttng them right on stage to compete tn this unequal battle

The Fire Marshal does not like chairs in front of the exits , or people m the aisles Two rows of 11 or 12 chairs m the front he will allow, besides. ignoring aesthetics. 80 or 90 on stage . (My calculations based on his Remarks And my apologies

for misinterpreting the Life Safety Code last week )

However 1t 1s determined. there is a Um1t to the audience size since the Hall has walls, and the Marshal has Rules. If the Rules are going to be enforced, the number of people who plan on being 1ns1de when the concen begins. including ushers. ticket takers and any other off1c1al people, cannot exceed that L1m1t As much as I might want everyone 1n town to be there. no one 1s going to be happy 1f half a Rule 1s 1nconsistantly applied

It JUSt may be possible to have concerts here at MSU where the only ones who can bitch are those who didn 't care enough to come rn

ttme for a seat (AH that was my point. but this

ume I've tned to make 1t a little more blunt for easy understanding )

WEEKLY SPE[IAL

WASHINGTON - The Arab world 1s in an uproar over Secretary of Slate Henry Kissinger's remark about hypothetical American m1luary 1ntervent1on against the oil states

Vice Admiral Frederick Turner. the Sixth Fleet commander. added to the furor by saying the Navy didn 't want to invade any oil sheikdom but was "'prepared" to do so.

Now, American diplomats are trying to calm the storm . They- are telling Arab leaders that Kissinger 's

'views have been misrepresented by the press. Kissinger himself has publicly disavowed his own state­ment We can reveal, ho'Never. what the Secreta ry of State told associa tes during a recent secret d1scuss1on

He sa id President Ford would not stand by while the Western world was destroyed by an oil squeeze If oil should be used as a weapon to destroy the free world 's economy, K1ss1nger said, It would be just as serious a threat as a Soviet military move against the West. The response of the United States, he added, would be the same .

Kissinger also said he didn 't think the Soviets would go to war with the United States over the Middle East, as long as the United States was defending the West's .. vital interests."

by Jack Anderson with Joe Spear

Of course, Kissinger stressed that the oil cr1s1s can be solved without war And in the secret policy councils. he has vigorously opposed the rdea of milJtary intervention

Meanwhile Kissinger has been schemrng secretly with the Shah of Iran to find a solution to the Middle East mess.

The two men have developed a warm personal relationship . Kissinger has persuaded the Shah that another Middle East war would increase Arab dependency upon the Soviets and therefore, strengthen Soviet influence in the Middle East. This would be a threat. Kissinger warned, to Iran 's position .

The Shah has secretly agreed, therefore, to supply Israel with the oil she would lose by giving up the captured Egyptian oil fields . The Shah is also willing to JOin the United States in guaranteeing Israel's survival. This 1s significant. because Iran is emerging as a military power in the Middle East.

Egypt's President Sadat has told both Kissinger and the Shah, mean· while, that Israel must give up more than the oil fields . There must also be withdrawals fromthe Golan Heights on the Syrian front and the West Bank on the Jordanian front . Sadat explained that he could never accept a deal that didn't also include his Arab brothers.

Kissinger would indeed use force on Arabs if . . •

Kissinger 1s now bringing pressure on the Israelis to come to terms with the Arabs before It is too late

Ford 's Faultfinders: Congress. the press and the public have been nppmg apart President Ford's economic proposals But some of the President's own appointees have given him the roughest going·over.

At a recent Saturday White House meeting, the President, his energy czar Frank Zartf and his economic adviser William Seidman were raked over the coals by the Citizens Action Committee, a group Ford set up under his " Whip Inflation Now" program.

After Seidman and Zarb briefed the group, Ford strolled in, expect· ing simply to pass a few minutes in friendly banter. But the citizens committee unloaded on him.

They charged that the Seidman and Zarb presentation were too one· sided, and they complained that the Administration was taking too hard a line against gas ration ing . One member said the committee was useless and ought to be disbanded.

Ford, according to those present, calmly tamped down his pipe and listened.

After the fireworks. the com· mittee voted on two proposals. One was a resolution to ask business to hold tr.e line prices; the other was to create a "victory garden " on the White House lawn as an example for the nation.

~~_:Air\ -~

The vegetable garden meas.ure passed, but the price resolution was scuttled by a representative from the U S Chamber of Commerce

D .E. A . Dope : The Drug Enforce­ment Administration. the nation's top anti-narcotics unit, has been virtually paralyzed by an internal power struggle.

Congress created the DEA in July, 1973, in an effon to eliminate the inter.agency rivalries that used to plague the war on narcotics. Our own two·month investigation of DEA. however, reveals that the old animosities are still alive. Only now they are under one roof.

Office politics at DEA have gotten so rough, in fact. that the FBI has been called in to investigate charges that the agency has been covering up in·house security probes. And on Capitol Hill, Sen. Henry Jackson. D.­Wash ., has begun a full·scale investigation of the DEA.

Some influential lawmaeakers have told us privately that they hope to abolish the anti·narcotics agency. These legislators see the DEA as an

It becomes very clear that no nation can solve these lethal problems by itseff. No matter what steps the U.S. takes to · 01iminate pollution of air and water. they will be useless unless the British, Germans, French, Soviets. Chinese, etc .• take similar steps. It is obvious, then. that the problems are global and can be solved only on a global basis.

Ecologists te ll us that we have but a short time before these problems become insoluble and that unless they are solved human history from now on will be measured in "decades, not in centuries or half·centuries ": e.g .• that the oceans will be dead 1n thirty years (at the present rate of pollu· tion) and that Humanity will soon follow the oceans since they supply 70 percent to 90 percent of the earth 's oxygen.

To the Editor. Gordort Scoville likes to impress

us with his in-depth understanding of human nature . After all , if anyone understands our innermost motives, tt's Gordon Anyone who w rites in a newspaper the caliber of the Exponent MUST be qualified

Gordon probably got his 1nspir· at1on to uncover the evils of human nature from watching the Water· gate heanngs on TV (Someone should tell him the hearings are over and the show he's been getting his 1nsp1rat1on from -is SESAME STREET.) Gordon doesn't realize the subtle d1sunct1on between uncover· mg the truth and making up stories tha1 get under people's skin Gordon

is too busy with his studies to do any research, so he writes without doing any. He keeps going because with all the " persecution " he 's getting he 's confident he's on his way to the Washington Post.

Gordon wants us to attack his articles instead of him. Let's face it: Gordon is a little kid who wants attention Some little kids cry, scream. kick. bite, shout nasties. hold their breath unul they tum blue, or anything else that seems to work Another popular one is to call people names_ Gordon·s favorite falls into this category

I'm tired of 1h1s tantrum and would like to see 1t stopped_ Gordon showed us how Cute he 1s Now I

respectfully request that the editors of the Exponent have a word with Gordon and explain to him that he' ll have to go to his room until he can act like a big boy. If Gordon can't handle writing " articles " (or whatever he calls them) I hope the editor has the courage and the sense to find someone else (and please, check his / her quail f1ca t1ons before you allow them to clutter up the Exponent with their 1un1or high journalistic talents.)

Extension Editor

Dear Mr. Rosen, Here 1s your letter concerning

my editorial last Tuesday. Regarding Mr . Wiggin ' s

lecture, and lack of coverage, etc: Most of the lecture was the same stuff that every high school senior learns in govern­ment class. The only news­worthy statement that Wiggins made was that the judicial branch of the government is taking powers for themselves not guaranteed by the Constitution. I thought it was kind of annoying after the big build-up as a "Nixon Defender." It also seemed like Wiggins was side-stepping the issue of presidential mis-use of power by pointing the finger elsewhere.

Other points: I wasn't aware that I had to take a speech class in order to ask a politician a question.

I wasn 't trying to be contri­butory towards the lecture by what I asked . Unless by "contributory" you mean subjects that are important to people. Somehow I think Ford 's doings are important to people.

I'm sorry that I, a lowly college student, should have the bad manners and immodesty to say anything bad about this man of measure in such close proximity with history. Doubtless I felt like such a worm nextto Mr. Wiggins that I had to write a nasty editorial to elevate myself.

Red herrings? Mr. Wiggins used the term " working man " first. As for being a spokesman for working people , I never said I was. You did. But I think what

you were implying was that I don 't work . I wonder how you know so much about me?

You mention all the com­mittees Rep. Wiggins 1s on and all the universities he is invited to speak at, making a very good case for his greatness as a person and a politician . No doubt Nixon was heaped with similar honors.

The preceding statements were an undisguised ettort to return some of the insults I received. Now that that's over. I want to say that I could care less whether I argue anymore about the virtues of Wiggins. or how well I do my job. I only wrote this answer to point out to whoever reads this that nowhere in your letter do you have anything to say about the subject in the editorial : Wiggins ' opinion about the G.I. Bill, or Social Security, for that matter.

You do not say that I lied when I gave his opinion on this issue. You do not attempt to justify his opinion and say I was wrong in my analysis of it.

Instead you said, "You can ditter with his view , part or all, but don 't hide his, while sulking along wi th your own."

Wiggins' view is given in my editorial , almost word for word. And in your entire letter you never once say that you agree with him. Which would seem to me to be the only real , valid reason for writing in defense of Wiggins in the first place.

EARTH NEWS( - A ten-year old faculty and student exchange program between the University of Chile and the University of California has been indefinitely suspended as the result of alleged political harass­ment by otticials of the Chilean military junta .

The program was founded in 1964 with a $1 million-a-year grant from the Ford Foundation. It was designed principally to expose Chilean academics to graduate study in the United States in preparation for teaching careers in Chilean universities. The program has involved both faculty and student exchanges.

The suspension came when information reached University of California officials that a participant in the program, Dr. Boris Chornik, physics professor at the University of Santiago and a U.C.-Berkeley graduate, had been arrested by the junta's security police on December 15th. According to press reports from Latin America , Chornik is being held at the Tres Alamos detention camp for interro­gation regarding a friend who had been arrested for possess­ing two mach ine guns. Chorn1k hhas not been heard from since

In a related development. Chilean otticials have refused to extend a study permit for a Chilean student studying at an unidentified southern California campus of U.C. According to the student's dean, two Chilean military intelligence otticers recently visited his office and said they had " well-founded information that (the student) had made defamatory state­ments about the government of Chile." The unidentified student subsequently received a com­munication from Chilean otticials insisting that he return to Santiago to face charges against him.

Following several appeals to the Chilean government for explanations, U . C . L.A .

Chancellor Charles Young, who directs the program at U.C., announced that he had wired the University of Chile to announce an indefinite suspension of the program until the two issues can be resolved.

Sa id Chancellor Young, 'We believe this situation constitutes a threat to (the) continued ability to obtain and maintain well­qualified professionals with the University of Chile."

Chilean students and faculty members currently enrolled under the program on Un iver­sity of California campuses will be allowed to continue their studies. There currently are no California students or faculty engaged in the program in Chile.h

Even "the Philippines would become shaky 1f South Vietnam lost," said McNamara again in 1964 with a threat to Indonesia, Thailand. Australia. New Zealand and Japan. Is it possible that we once believed that? Yes, we did. Time magazine believed that. Joe Alsop believed that great men, famous men, Dulles, Rusk. Bundy, Westmoreland, Gold­water, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon believed that, or said they did . If you didn't believe that and said so you were probably a subversive, you wouldn't get elected to Congress; you might find your phone tapped.

This year is the tenth anniversary of when our part in the thing really

Vietnam 1975: started. Everything goes back to 1965. It was then that we first really hit the tar baby. It was then that we landed two combat battalions of Marines as the start of an army that would ultimately reach 525.000 It was then that we began to bomb -'Rolling Thunder ' was the poetic title for it. It was then that Lyndon Johnson began to fake his budget statistics to disguise how much it was costing, and it was then that his alarmed economists in the Council of Economic Advisers - Ackley, Eckstein, Okun - began to implore him, for God's sake to raise taxes -inflation 1s going to get out of hand! It got out of hand . Today's inflation started 1 0 years ago.

This is another anniversary, too; two years ago -January 27, 1973 - Kissinger finally produced his Vietnam peace treaty signed in Paris, the one tha t now produces another agonzing challenge to the United States. For. of course. it hasn't produced peace. Masses of new U . S . equipment and ammunition were delivered to Saigon just before the formal truce. What happened then? Maynard Parker, former Hong Kong and Saigon bureau chief for Newsweek, and now managing editor , Newsweek lnternation writes in the issue of prestigious January Foreign Affairs, " I am inclined to conclude that the South Vietnamese were the more guilty party." It appears. he says, "that they never really intended to implement the truce ." The Communists by contrast, he thinks, supposed that "there would be at least a period of peace and were unprepared for - and staggered by - the aggressiveness of the government's operations." He adds, "Almost from the moment the

"Hlr

agre·ement was signed, President Thieu took to the offensive."

Maynard Parker seems to be reasonably objective; at least at the end he concludes that the United States ought to keep on paying out money to Thieu: " there is some­thing deeply wrong." he thinks, in cutting off the lifeline without which the Thieu regime would admittedly 'shortly collapse.

How many Americans agree with this? How many more artificial hearts are we willing to implant? The Ford Administration is asking for around a billion and half dollars in 1975 for Thieu for military aid, and another chunk in economic aid . It acknowledges that it is making reconnaisance flights . Congress. which can't quite bring itself to say no, may cut the above again to $700 mdlion . Meanwhile a group of well known denominational leaders. Methodists, Catholics, Hebrews, Friends, Episcopalians, demanded in Washington last weekend that American aid finally stop:

History of Montana State Prison By Robert Gene Harris

The territory of Montana was created in 1864. Prisoners who were convicted of violating laws of Congress were sent to Nebraska State Penitentiary . A rude federal prison existed for a short time in Virginia City but wasn't adequate for the terri­tory. The first territoria I prison was built in Deer Lodge in 1871, consisting of 14 cells, costing the state $39,300.

The first prisoner that entered the prison was Samuel E. Hughes on July 2, 1871 with a one year sentence for assault with intent to kill. He was pardoned by Governor Potts on July 25th, 1871 . Hughes served a total osentence of 23 days.

Within five years from the time the prison first opened, it was expanded to 28 cells with 80 prisoners . The first warden was James Gilchrist who had served his position until 1878.

During the years of 1894-1895 many new conditions were made at the prison. A new two story brick building with a hospital and a dining room was built to accommodate 425 prisoners (before no dining room existed. Tables were placed outside of cells). The new build­ing also consisted of a laundry, tailor. shoe, and meat shops to replace old wooden shacks . In the same year the big wall was

built. (The same wall that surrounds the prison today.)

In June of 1896 a new cell building was built . It consisted of 168 cells on three separate tiers. The individual cell dimensions were built at 8 feet by 5 feet 11 inches by 7 feet high.

All of these improvements came under the direction of Frank Conley who was the Warden of the prison from 1883-1921 . On February 22, 1889 the prison came to be known as The U.S. Penitentiary at Deer Lodge City. The United States govern­ment paid the territory 78 cents a day for food, clothing and medical treatment for each prisoner. The new State of Montana took over the operation of the prison in the latter part of 1889.

With Deputy Warden Archie McTaque Warden Conley operated the prison as a private venture (Conley & Mc Taque Co.) until 1889. The prisoners had built roads, state buildings at Warm Springs and Galen State Hospitals and most of the State Fairgrounds in Helena. A prisoner theater constructed entirely by prison labor was donated by Senator William Clark Jr.

While Conley was Warden the word rehabilitation was non­existent. Convicts were kept busy from dawn until dark.

Conley hired out his convict labor for public and private work - using whip, chains and dogs on the men as he thought necessary. Frank Conley also believed that at least half of his prisoners were insane. During his administration many prisoners were transferred permanently to Warm Springs State Hospital.

On September 3, 1891 the first 'Rules and Regulations for the Government of the Montana Prison' was published. Conley had strict and asinine rules and regulations not only for the prisoners but for his correction officers just as well. In the years after Conley left the prison it had retu med to a normal rehabilitative institution.

In 1953, 30,000 acres were purchased by the State to become a Prison Ranch as a part of the prison 's facilities . Rothe Hall a unit to house 200 men was completed in 1963. A Tag Plant was built in 1965, and a new dairy was completed in 1968, to serve all the institutions in the valley. In 1967 there were approximately 760 prisoners at Montana State Prison.

In the early 70's a site was selected and plans were made to build a First Offender Correctional Facility. This facility is expected to be coj"pleted in the fall of 1977

Still no peace

.. We are still militarily involved and we interfere continuously, " they said, " providing more than 80 percent of the Saigon government budget."

Sooner or later we are going to have to face reality. It is a brutal reality. But when we face it it will mean perhaps that America has finally come of age. Denis Brogan once wrote£ "Probably the only people who have the historical sense of inevitabli victory are the Americans." We are not fighting now to win the war, I think. We are fighting it to save face. We were lied to about the war, from the make­believe Tonkin Gulf incident that gave the president blanket congressional authority to wage the siruggle with only two negative votes, to the stealthy build-up of troops and treasure that ultimately cost us 56,0CX> U.S. lives.

"But if we pull outwon'titgoCom­munist?" asked Arthur Goldberg on a mission from Lyndon Johnson in June. 1966, to tell de Gaulle of the escalation . "Yes, it will go Communist," said de Gaulle. "But isn't that against us?" asked Goldberg. "Yes," replied de Gaulle, "but it will be a messy kind of

Communism." And, as David Halberstam tells the story, he added. "Not a Russian or even a Chinese kind of Communism. An Asian kind. It wilt be more of a problem for them than for us:·

It is still too close to Vietnam to write about it objectively. Maybe we will have to hit the tar baby a few more times. But will our descendants believe it? Vice President Johnson calling Diem " the Winston Churchill of South East Asia ... (We toppled Diem in 1963). The devices that would win the war "in six months ": bombing. strategic hamlets. enclaves, napalm , defoliation, free-fire zones , Cambodian sanctuaries. All the brilliant planning that defied common sense. The macabre perplexity: after the Mylai massacre a few small children were still running about and the soldiers gave them candy.

Always we fought a political war as though it were a military war. In 1945, Ho Chi Minh proclaimed the Republic of Vietnam and next year civil war broke out 29 years ago . The little country has been fighting since. In 1954 Dulles sent a messenger to tell the late Sen. Russell! of the Armed Services Committee that he was sending in 200 advisers, and funding the country. "I think this is the greatest mistake this country has ever made," said Russell . "I couldn·t

• be more opposed.'!. Then he added, "But tell Dulles that if he does it I will never raise my voice."

Always patriotic; never contradict the commander-in-chief. Lyndon Johnson lacked money to fund the Great Society and figuratively shoveled into the Vietnam furnace parts of his program to aid blacks, the poor. the oppressed - they fueled the distant war. And when it is all over maybe we will write, as Barbara Tuchman sadly did in her book on Gen. Stilwell - "In the end China went her own way as if the Americans had never come."

flnnocent' Soledad inmate sets gets Iii e sentence

(ZNS) - A black inmate in California's Soledad Penitentiary has been sentenced to life imprisonment by state prison authorities -despite the fact that the man has been found innocent of all charges against him by both a judge and a jury.

The case in question involves 23-year-old William Johnson, who, four years ago, was sentenced to a minimum•ot six months in prison for a S 7 robbery charge.

Johnson's problem with prison authorities began last June when Soledad officials accused him of assaulting a guard and possessing a prison­made knife.

Pacific News Service reports that following his acquittal, however, Johnson was returned to Soledad prison where he was locked up in the segregation unit and sentenced to life by prison authorities.

The committee for prisoner humanity and justice challenged the prison system's right to punish a prisoner for a crime he was acquitted of in coun. The State Department of Corrections responded by saying "We operate on the principle that the courts are responsible for the just and fair conduct of their business and the Depan­ment is responsible for the just and fair conduct of its own affairs. The fact that an inmate was acquitted by a judge or jury .

Bobcats shooting for a split in Spokane The Montana State Bobcats

make their annual basketball trip to northern Idaho and eastern Washington this week and are shooting for at least a split, something they've accomplished three straight years .

They'll play Idaho at Moscow Friday and Gonzaga at Spokane Saturday. Both are Big Sky Conference games.

" We 'd like to win a pair. but realistically, we 'll have to play well to get a split," Coach Rich Juarez said.

Last season the Bobcats captured a wild, 101 -90 double overtime victory over Gonzaga. The following night they lost to Idaho, 63-61 .

The Bobcats. 7-B on the season and 1-3 in the Big Sky Conference, have played about as well on the road as at home this season. On two previous trips to the state of Washington ,

they defeated Puget Sound. 60-59, and Seattle Pacific, 60-56.

Idaho started out well this season, but fell below .500 last weekend in southern Idaho, losing to Idaho State and Boise State.

Rookie Coach Jim Jarvis, a former Oregon State and professional basketball guard, has a veteran team, led by 6-3 Henry Harris (1 B.1) and 6-2 Steve Weist (16.5).

Idaho is 6-1 at home. Its lone loss at Memorial gym was to Portland State. B0-75. MSU lost to Portland State, 82-76, at Baker. Oregon .

Returning to Spokane Satur ­day will be something of a home­coming for MSU's Juarez. who 's a Gonzaga graduate . He was an assistant coach there for seven years .

Gonzaga is led by 6-2 Ken Tyler. who's averaging 17 6 points per game.

BOOKS'ItllE - FACULTY CO/fl!NICATOR January 24, 1975

The Bulldogs are 2-2 in the conference. Last weekend they won at Boise State and lost to Idaho State at Pocatello .

Montana State played once last weekend, losing to Montana 70-57 before 5,311 fans at the MSU fieldhouse .

The Bobcats trailed only four points with three minutes left in the game. But the Grizzlies, deadly accurate at the free throw line, took advantage of Bobcats fouls to widen the margin at the end.

Paul Kinne, a 6-1 guard from Paso Robles, .Calif .. led MSU with 27 points. He was 1 O-for-17 from the field and seven-of­eight at the line.

Probable MSU starters Friday at Idaho are Kinne and Gary Stokes (2 .9) at the guards, Daryl Ross (9 .9) at center and Craig Buehler (10.1) and Rusty Smith (10 1) at the forwards

I CLOB resembles prison by Brian Pollock

The Classroom and Office Building is the most recent addition to the MSU camppus. If you've been here for awhile you will remember the large open area that the building replaced. People at thattimewere not very happy at the idea of the most beautiful lawn on campus being torn up to make way for the building.

Now that the building is completed there are still voices being raised against it. It seems by looking at the second floor offices that the architect

,designed 1t to get the maximum

number of people in the small­est space possible.

When asked about the de­sign, Bob Harvie, Soc ial Justice instructor, said it was the latest design in prison architecture. He stated that each of the offices on the second floor was nine by eight feet, the same as a prison cell and none of the classrooms have any windows. The exterior design of the building resem­bles that of a fort or a prison. The building encircles the courtyard and the windows on the second floor resemble gun turrets . The lack of windows on the outside walls of the first floor also en­hances the prison architecture.

The prison arch itecture idea may not be supported by every­one but if you step back you will notice the sim ilarities.

If you have ever tried to find one of your instructor's offices in the CLOB you already know how difficult it is. Instructors and secretaries occupying the of­fices are not too much help be­cause there are so many dead ends and corners one needs a photographic memory to remember all the directions.

The CLOB does serve its main purpose but I am yetto hear any­one favor the design pf the build­ing. Maybe there is a student out there wh9 likes it.

Muddled Meanderings • In Outhouses By Ward Jackson

Muddled Meanderings in an Outhouse I and II. two books by Bob Ross. are still selling strong and are more popular than ever.

Besides these two books of poetry and pictures of outdoor privies. Mr. Ross also has a slide presentation that ne is often asked to give.

It all started as a slide · presentation with poetry

composed by Mr. Ross . This became so popular that he decided to put 11 all in a book. The first book has sold 110,000 copies since Aug ., 1970. Mr. Ross received dozens of letters from people all over the United States, Canada, and other foreign countries. The people who wrote these letters also

sent their favorite pictures and poems on outhouses There was so much material that Mr. Ross decided to put together a second book. The second book has been out only six months, is in its second printing, and has sold nearly 20,000 copies.

Now Mr. Ross has a second slide show, which too has become popular. Each year he gives his presentation to students in the Bozeman Publ ic School as part of their history studies. Mr. Ross has given his slide show in many western states and Canada.

If you haven't seen one of the books, they consist of pictures of outhouses, privies, honeycars. thundermugs, and "Johns" in general, with poems to go with

each picture. The poems are funny and tactful, and not an off­colored word can be found. That also adds to the appeal of the books.

Bob Ross is the District Range Conservationist for the Soil Conservation Service out of Bozeman. He holds a degree in Range Management from MSU. Since his graduation he has spent all his working hours. and a good share of his spare time. doing his part in improving the rangelands of Montana .

Even if you've never made that cold trip to the backhouse in the middle of the night and found an inch of snow on the seat. you'll still thoroughly enjoy Bob Ross 's books.

Women learn automatic facts by Michael Kanz

The MSU Chapter of Mortar Board Thursday evening spon ­sored a program especially for women " Facts about the Auto-

mobile." The program was to explain mainly the parts and function of the auto . It was held

in the Madison Room of the MSU Student Union, guest speaker was Heinz K. Boechmann, owner of the Metric Shop in Bozeman.

Mr. Boechmann wanted to help th~ ladies to see the auto

from a different angle. not JU St as a machine on four wheels that you took to the store and then back home, but to understand basic functions of its operation.

The small cylinder auto was used for discussion purposes because of its simple design and it being easier to understand. There was very little emphasis put on the large automobile because of its complexity.

Items such as the distributor, spark plugs, radiator and drive train were a few of the many parts discussed. Little was said about the mechanics of each

part but a great deal was told about the function of each part and how it all went together to mold the working auto.

There were also tips on pur­chasing new autos, how to avoid the rip-off and understanding the dealer structure before you buy.

There were approximately 50 women who attended the pro­gram. A question and answer period was held afterwards and there were helpful handouts on winter driving and mainten ~ ance of your car for better driving.

Wiggins states • own views

by Wayne Wienke

Representative Charles Wig ­gins (A-California) recently spoke to a small group of facul ­ty, students , and townspeople on a smattering of subjects from the food stamp program to inf­lation. Wiggins is a member of the House Judiciary Committee and voted against all of the arti­cles of impeachment hearings in late 1974. Wiggins spoke brief­ly on his decision to vote against impeachment .

Wiggins greeted a group of elderly people in the front with a " Hi , I'm Chuck Wiggins. are you faculty?", and one of the wo­men replied, " No. we 're just townspeople and watch you all the time!''. in reference to Wig­gins' appearance on television during the impeachment hearings.

After more friendly banter with the audience. Wiggins elected to answer questions ins­tead of going into any kind of pre ­pared talk.

On the influence of the new members of Congress, Rep. Wig­gins said it is a bit too early to judge their impact but he did not the 75 new members voted significantly as a block when 2 committee chairmen were oust­ed recently. Wiggins said some of the liberal new members see seniority as an evil , which is not necessarily so.

When asked. Wiggins said the Campaign Reform Act was a bad piece of legislation.

Rep. Wiggins looked at both sides of the coin when he was asked his view on President Ford 's cutting of the Food Stamp Program. He stated the Food Stamp Program is a prime ex­ample of a pilot program gone wild . Rep. Wiggins stated the poor are not picked on. just that funds are cut where funds are spent. Rep. Wiggins then took the other side of the coin when he said there is no prospect of a food stamp cut back, but all pros­pects of a food stamp increase when Congress votes on the measure.

On excess government spend­ing. Wigg ins said spending money is politically attractive. Wiggins hopes the 94th Con-

gress will not go hog wild with federal spending.

Wiggins said Congress would probably pass the proposed tax cut quickly, but he expressed suspicion at the purpose of the rebate. The rebate is supposed to revitalize the economy but Rep. Wiggins doesn't see how scat ­tering small individual checks can help. He 's not sure what kind of economic medicine we need, but we do need more jobs.

Wiggins doesn 't think there 's a way to solve the nation 's economic problems quickly without hurting the country in the long run . Congress couuld spend the nation out of its economic downturn but the spending would hurt in the long run .

Wiggins does not see many immediate consequences of Watergate, just a cautious exer­cise of presidential power in the future .

Wiggins eXplained the pres­sures of Watergate he experi­enced were internal pressures of his own making. Wiggins saw impeachment as a kind of gigan ­tic cannon which he hated to use because impeachment seemed to be an overkill with nothing between it and not impeaching.

Wiggins asked for former President Nixon's resignation after the disclosure of the infa­mous June 23rd, 1972 tape in which Haldeman and Nixon dis ­cussed involving the CIA to di­vert the FBI investigation of Watergate . Wiggins said the Nixon act was a felony, although 10 days later Mr. Nixon counter­manded the order.

Someone in the audience wondered what kept people from turning out to vote the last elec­tion. Wiggins said the 38% na ­tionwide voter turnout was probably due to an off year elec­tion and a general feeling that all politicians are crooks .

When questioned if the press is talking us into a depression. Rep. Wiggins said the press is only calling it like it is.

At the end of of his scheduled talk, Wigg ins said all the views stated were hiw own and he was willing to change any of them after examining all sides of a question objectively.

Scully digs deeper into MSU budget By Ginny Prior

Associate Editor One of the major reasons for

the unfavorable Executive University Systems budget was singled out as being 'a lack of action ' by a Bozeman repre­sentative last Friday.

District 76 Democrat, John Scully, showed evidence before a small group of MSU faculty Friday, proving that MSU fifth week enrollment figures had been available in Helena before the Governor's budget was actually printed.

The exceptionally low Execu ­tive budget had previously been blamed, in part, on estimated unflattering enrollment figµres for MSU -figures that were not revised in time for the budget printing.

Armed with charts from the Governor's office. Scully pointed out that the budget sat idle for almost a month, during which time the revised enrollment data was received by the Com-

office and the Governor's chambers; but commented, "If you 're aware of an enrollment change - I would think it would spur you on to take a close look at your budget for revisions ."

Scully made it clear, however. that he was not there to " embark on fingerpointing . or the organization of hate campaigns."

" I think this kind of action would only hurt our cause," he remarked. "I have spoken to both Commissioner of Higher Education Pettit and the Governor on this matter, and have been assured that it will be seriously looked into."

Scully, after explaining his findings. offered adv ice to the attending faculty and administration.

"The most important thing we can do right now. is gather as much information about our budget as we can . and then just follow it. I would ask that you refrain from sending mass

munication by one of his fellow Bozeman representatives , Senator Ann Seibel.

" Seibel has established a Legislative Contact Committee with the purpose of represent­ing you in our committee meetings."

The committee members. which are pointed out as being picked 'at random.' were named as follows: Marshall Cook. John E. Robbins. Ted Williams. and William Edie.

Several comments were raised from the audience, one of the most stirring dealing with collective bargaining .

James Goshorn. MSU English professor. explained faculty reasoning for backing proposed collective _!>argaining. "It's going to take some kind of major action to make up forthe ten years of low funds at this institution. The high school teachers in this city and Butte are making more than we are, for the same number of years

Scully presents documents supporting budget accusations.

seems contradictory to say there 's a classification pay plan by which we should follow, and on the other hand, include collective bargaining , " he explained.

Scully also added that a good deal of the legislators were not concerned about MSU's budget. He pointed out that most of them were concerned about other things, and that the faculty should be aware of that .

'The majority feeling right now. is that first priority should be the institutional problems," Scully stated.

Unlike Bozeman representa­tive, Dorothy Bradly; Scully came out against the idea of having the regents introduce a bill for their budget. "To me. another bill wou Id be a waste . I wouldn't want to look at another bill if I was in the committee."

Members of the Commissioner's office agree.

An interested faculty listens to Scully's presentation. MSU English professor, Goshorn, is seated front and center. He raised the important faculty concern of collective bargaining.

Near the end of his meeting with the faculty, the Bozeman representative expressed his 'game plan ' concerning the university budget. ' The most effecitve way I can see to handle this problem, is to gather information, and then drag the appropriations committee members aside and inform them of the two major discrepencies

Chairman of the Board of Regents, Ted James. opposed the idea of introducing a separate bill by explaining, t"lf we introduced a single bill it would point MSU out. I'd rather see the Governor's bill amended, because if the Governor's office agrees with the Regents, the chances for a better budget passing are much higher."

missionerr of Higher Education 's office.

The freshman representative offered no explanation for the ' lack of communication ' between the Commiss ioner's

letters to legislators and others at this time. Wait until they are really needed - around the 2nd or 3rd of February," Scully said.

The representative then revealed a plan for com-

Inflation strikes Lair pop Last quarter a bottle of pop

was available for 20 cents from the pop machines in the Bobcat Lair. in the basement of the SUB. This quarter the price has risen to 25 cents. Also the returnable bottles have been replaced with smaller, non-returnable bottles. Al Bertelsen. Director of the SUB, gives some reasons for these changes.

The price of sugar, the main ingredient of pop , says Bertelsen, has soared in recent months causing distributors to raise their prices for individual bottles. Although the bottles look smaller they actually

contain 10 fluid ounces as the taller bottles did.

According to Mr. Bertelsen. the change to non-returnable bottles was a hesitant one for SUB officials . Being ecologically and environmentally conscious. they have put off this drastic change for several quarters. However. the high incidence of returnable bottles walking off in the past quarters has represented a substantial loss for the SUB.

In order to stop the steady losses of past quarters, the change to non-returnmable bottles was a necessity.
