Satire On War, Draft
Attracts Draft Cards, Smiles
SDS

By

JIM FUDGE

Kernel Staff Writer
About 30 draft cards were given to the SDS
Thursday night before and after an SDS anti-draand anti-wa- r
program called "You Asked

ft

for

It."

According to Colten, the cards turned in will
be sent to the Philadelphia Resistance, a draft
resistance group. When Philadelphia Resistance
has 100,000 draft cards, they will send the cards
to the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Presented on a television game show format,
"You Asked for It" was a satirical, cynical commentary on the draft, the war and the country
in general. It featured, according to Lew Colten,
free prizes to persons holding lucky numbers,
which were given out at the door.
The program, presented to an audience of about
175 people, began when Colten introduced the
Master of Ceremonies, "Guy Himself," portrayed
by Sam Mason. Mason then explained the "rules
of the game" and later introduced his assistant.
Mason first called a person, who was participating in the program, up to the stage, and interviewed him. Identifying himself as "Arthur Quins-bury,- "
he said he was from England and had come
to America to "avoid conscription" and to be able
to "hold his own beliefs" about war. Mason
hustled the "radical" off stage, and proceeded to
begin to give away the free prizes.
'Free Vacation' Given
The"prizes" were given to people who had their
"lucky numbers" drawn from a box. The prizes
were free "vacations" for three years, including
food, shelter, transportation and clothing.

While Mason was trying to "give away" the
first vacation, a protestor was picketing in front
of the stage. The protestor was later "beaten up"
by two "policemen" who Mason interviewed
as representatives of the men "who protect us
and keep our country free."
A second number was drawn later to give away
a second vacation, and this time, the winner accepted gleefully, and was presented with a uniform, gun and a drill instructor.
One portion reminiscent of the TV program,
"Truth Or Consequences," was the reunion
of one of "last week's winners" with his mother,
"Carrie Nation." Mason promised that her "son"
would be arriving soon, and a few minutes later
a "body", draped in a United States flag, was
carried in on a stretcher and placed on a table
on the stage. The lights were dimmed and the
group that had carried the "body" in sang"Amer-ica- ,

Hi

r.

the Beautiful."
Explanations Given

Following "You Asked for

It," Colten went on

the stage again and told the audience why he had
turned in his draft card, read the names of others
who had turned theirs in, and invited those men
who had turned their cards in to explain their
reasons for doing so, if they wished. A few did
explain their decision to turn in their draft cards.
Part way through the reading of the names
of those turning in their cards, Frank Shannon
read a poem, composed by the 75th Infantry
Division in Vietnam, entitled "Napalm Sticks
To Kids." It was a long, cynical poem explaining
their feelings toward shooting women and children
and to dropping napalm on civilians.

Hitting The Trail

Patterson Hall was the scene last night of the first debate between
candidates for the various Student Government offices. This candidate was just one of several who spoke to a group of about 150
Students.

representatives
and their parties met Thursday
night in the Student Center to
discuss the newly written election "rules and regulations"
that will be in effect during the
Student Government Elections
to be held April 7 and 8.
Carver elaborated on the report, which covered everything
from where posters may be
placed to how much each candidate can spend on those posters
and other propaganda. The enlarged services offered by the
Elections Board and the budget of the board were included.
New Facets
The complete slate of 59
candidates and their supporting
parties was distributed along
with the campaign schedule.
The schedule included a new
facet of the election proceedings: Seven debates to be
sponsored by various campus

SG Candidates Launch Campaigns

TOM BOWDEN
Kernel Staff Writer
The spring Student Government campaign swung into Patterson Hall Thursday night at
the unlikely hour of 10:30 p.m.
A crowd estimated at 150
fired questions at the four candidates for SG president, but the
strict time limits on answers due
to the lateness of the hour
seemed to unsettle some of the
candidates and to amuse the
crowd.
Ched Jennings summarized
the goals of his presidential campaign in the slogan, "Unite the
campus."
"There are too many problems
common to all students for the
By

Student Government to be enmeshed" in factionalism and
Jennings explained.
Dawson Sjeaks
Presidential
candidate Bill
Dawson, who is running as a
representative of the Student
Issues Party, stressed that Student Government money "should
be spent for the students."
Dawson also mentioned communication between the students
and the University president and
the distribution of basketball and
football tickets as issues which
he would try to solve as president.
Candidate Steve Bright, who
is affiliated with the Action Coalition Party, said, "The most

important issue (in this campaign) is campus reorganization

and reorientation.
"We are finally beginning to
get some footholds in the University structure," Bright said.
"We can't allow the office (of
president) to be held by someone representing only a selective
group."
Jim Williams, an independent
candidate for the presidency, announced that his speech was impromptu and that he had prepared no remarks.
In response to a question
alx)ut the makeup of the cabinet
if he were elected, Williams responded: "I will appoint all my
friends."

In addition to the debate between the presidential candicandates, the
didates and those students running for SG representatives were
presented to the assembly. The
hopefuls were
allowed to make short addresses.
Skip Althoff, who is Steve
Bright's running mate; Roger
Valentine, who is aligned with
Ched Jennings; and Don Wag-gene- r,
who is running with Bill
Dawson, addressed the meeting.

will be allowed to spend $250.
The amount each representative
candidate may spend is $100.
Each candidate or their party
must submit a financial statement by April 10.
The other new procedure involving money is that each
candidate is required to pay a
$10 fee when he hies for
election. Carver assured the
group that if all campaign
material was removed by 10
p.m. on April 10 that the fee
would be returned. If party
material, not individual, was not
taken down by then, the campaign manager's $10 would be
retained.
There was another new
regulation involving campaign
material and where it could be
placed. So that the "campaign
will be taken out of the academic setting," no campaign
literature will be placed in classrooms. The Elections Board
would like to see posting limited
to bulletin boards. They asked
the candidates to limit the
placing of posters on painted
areas, too. "We can't say 'you
can't do it', but we're asking
you not to."

The Barn's current production, The Owl and the Pussycat,
has to be classified a hit from
anyone's jKiint of view. The
play, the dinner, and the entire
dinner theater atmosphere all
Mended together for an excellent
entertainment. The
evening's
adult
play was a well-acte- d
comedy that treated some delicate subjects with remarkable
good taste. And the cast of two
never let the action drag.
The plot centers around a
brazen
very emotional prostitute and a young, logical, intellectual writer. The writer has
informed the landlord about the
girl's extracurricular activities
and she is thrown out of her
apartment as a result. She storms
into his place to give him a
piece of her mind and they begin a most curious relationship.
Each character is trying to
impress the other by what they
would like to be in reality. They
erect false fronts and try to disguise their real selves by changing their names. Hut they both
are looking for someone to believe in them as the ordinary
people they really are.
So far this may sound like
anything but a comedy. Actually, it is one of the funniest
productions that the Uarn has
ever presented. David Riowne-- I

Also present at the debate
were Patt Mancy and Ruck
Pennington, who are engaged in
a battle to determine the proper
method of electing the Speaker
of the Assembly.
In the past, the Student Government Assembly has elected
the Speaker from among its
ranks, without a popular vote
from the campus.

Pennington, in attempting to
gain a popular mandate for himself for tlie office, maintains tliat,
due the power of the position,
its holder should be elected by
the people.
Maney says that in opposing
Pennington for the office, he is
not seeking a mandate from the
people, but rather an equal voice
in debate with Pennington in
order to tell the voters what he
thinks about the process.

We can't know where we're going

Referring to the tradition of
election by the Assembly itself,
Mancy says, "I find it hard to
understand how an individual
who does not respect the traditions or functioning structure of
the Assembly can be an effective
speaker."
Pennington states that the
tradition of allowing the Assembly to elect the Speaker is "the
type of tradition that is designed
to keep student involvement out
of the matter of Student Government. That is the kind of tradition I'm trying to overturn."

Possible Answer
The proposed Student Government committee plan to turn the
University Bookstore into a student-owne- d
cooperative has an appealing ring. Most students, who have
trouble keeping their feet out of the
financial graveyard, will welcome
any program which means even a
slight reduction in college expenses.
Committee chairman BruceCar-ve- r
says the only drawback to the
cooperative plan is that profit from
the bookstore has been u sed to reti re
the bond issue on the Student Center itself.
A

possible answer to this problem could come from the studies of

another Student Government committee. Research from the Student
Services Committee indicates that
students would like to see campus
grilles remain open for a longer
period each night. Perhaps the additional profit which would result
from this proposal could be transferred toward the Student Center
indebtedness. This would of course
free the bookstore to become a nonprofit organization.
The success or failure of such a
plan, however, would depend upon
the cooperation it receives from the
student body. It does little good to
extend grille hours if students refuse to patronize the places.

fifth column
By DALE MATTHEWS
I feel that the time has come for me
to make a public apology to those ad-

vocates of Women's Liberation whom
I have previously scorned in this column.
That women have been oppressed by our
society for too long has finally been
brought to my understanding.
When I read recently that women
were forbidden by state laws and by
federal laws to be telephone linemen,
coal miners and steel workers the severity of the situation struck home. We need
the labor that women can provide in these
and other areas. If these laws were done
away with, women and children (children
are protected by some of these laws as
well as women) could be put to good use
on the labor market and they would be of
great help to our economy for this reason:
Unemployment would go up and reduce
inflation. My friends, I ask you, is it
asking too much to expect women and
children to make a few personal sacrifices in order to combat inflation?
Of course we need to free the male
as well as the female. Imagine, if you
will, what a boon to mankind it would
be if only men were sitting in the chairs

We'll wallop the niggers for being so free,
And hurrah for the bigots of Latnai, S. C.
The mob it went crazy, their weapons

they bared.

The school bus was broken, the kids they

were scared.
They smashed all the windows, they threw
all their stones,
Though the children were crying they
heard not their groans.
Thanks to the troopers who stood to their
posts.
And cheers for the drivers who held back
the host.
But what of the marshals who standing
around,
Would calmly let children be crushed to
the ground.
The bail it is set, the mob they go free,
Their cause it is wrong but their neighbors
show glee.
"Though they tried to kill children we're
proud don't you see
There's one law for niggers, another for
me.
To the followers of Best, here's a challenge
from me

To show a good cause why the blacks
shan't be free.
Mob of Lamar, though of rights you all

prate

You deny

these same rights to the people

you hate.

Though a case you might have, you dipped
it in shame:
You never can win at so violent a game.
The men you admire, both Stonewall and
Lee,
Would have spit on the crimewe attribute
to thee.
So burn your axe handles, go back to your
homes,
And pray that your god may whiten your
souls.
It's wrong to harm children, a sin and a
crime;
And shame to the bigots who think that
it's fine.

now occupied by women telephone operators. Why there would be thousands
of women freed to work in the coal mines
where they would be happy and even
more useful than men. I say more useful
because women would have a longer life
in the mines than men do. It is a
provable fact that fewer women
die of black lung than men.
Another point that proponents of Women's Liberation expound is that the women
of our society have been stunted in their
creativity. This is very true. Look around,
how many women poets, painters, architects, and philosophers have there been?
The only logical explanation for this lack
of feminine talent can only be that men
have
these and many other
creative fields. God knows that men's
creativity in this society is not curbed
in the least. Men get to go to school
and sit in offices, very creative don't
you think?
It is high time that the battle of the
sexes takes up a new cry, MAKE LOVE
NOT WAR. We men need to see the
error of our ways and begin afresh, walking hand in hand with women in brotherly love, putting aside our pride and masculinity for theirs; they deserve it. Yes!
I can see a brave new world filled with
brotherly love, devoid of softness and
weakness. A world in which sex does
not play a part in your choice of public
rest rooms. A brave new world without
mothers and fathers, a virtual Utopia
where sex no longer has to mean something between a man and a woman.
A golden age of equality before the law
and in the mines!
It is all so beautiful now that I have
seen the light that I shudder to think
that I once wanted a woman who was
gentle and kind. A fool I must have been
to have wanted any but brotherly love.
What kind of man must it be that would
actually seek intelligence, compassion and
the ability to love in a woman when he
could have a good, strong-backehard
working coal miner? To think that I once
wanted a woman whom I could not
picture in useful, practical combat boots!
Never again will I compare thee to a
summer's day woman, fear no compliments from me and no more orders. I
have seen the light. It is time for women
to begin making decisions which have
been made for far too long by men. The
day of the segregated bathroom is over!
