One of the defenses used by the attorney in the recent drugcase, reported last week in the article "The Leonard Hall Six ," wasthat marijuana should not he grouped indiscriminately with allother drugs in the college drug rules. He presented several reasonsfor making this assertion. First, medicall y, mariju ana is not asdangerous, if at all , as many other drugs. Second , legally, manystates including Main e are changing their drugs laws by redu cingpenalties for marijuana use. Finall y, many colleges have changedtheir rules to distinguish between marijuana and other drugs and toreduce penalties.

Th e ECHO has investigated these claims (see page three) andlias found that tlie evidence overwhelmingly supports them, ltseems patentl y clear from the medical evidence and the legalprecedent that the drug rules should be changed , yet th e deans seeka verd ict of suspension , a relativel y severe punishment , for studentscaught using marijuana on th e first offe nse . It also seems ratherstrange that Colby Colleg-e, a libera l institution , should have tolook to the Maine state legislature for a precedent to change rules.

The sad part of this is that this is onl y one of a number ofareas in which Colby has fallen behind; another notable examp Ec isdormitory rul es. During the past year other college s have madesignificant advan ces in these areas while Colby has been busy withCon-Con. Whatev er the advantage s of Con-Con may be , the factremains that the students have been Conned out of a year in whichsignificant change s could have been made. The Board of Trusteeshas recentl y accepted the results of Con-Con. The important thingto do now is to put the results into effect as quickl y as possible andto find ou t if they will work before more time is lost and if theywill work , to change the rules before more peop l e must su ffe rbecause of outdat ed and unjust rules.

Complaints to Huildin gs and Grounds are usuall y fr equ entand often un jus t i f i ed inso fa r as Mr. Whalon and Company do makean effort to kee p the campus operational. However , th e ECHOwould lik e to p oint out some shortcomings of B & G and thecampus police.

Most imp ortantl y , we think that there should he are-examination of the traffic ticket policy which currentl y chargesthe same fee for illegal (and nearl y always inconsequential) park ingas lor speeding on campus , We know of no one apprehended byColb y 's poli ce force for speeding or reckless driving. This nu.y bebecause the campus police are Loo busy looking for a stray studentear parked in the quad. The fees charged are nothing shoal ofinsan e , considering the. nature of the offenses for which drivers areappr ehended. If one purlc s overnig ht on a Wat erville street , it costs$1.00 w h i l e al Colb y a third parking off ense can cost you $10.00.

If th e students arc going to pay that much money forp arking vi olations (not lo mention $10.00 registration fee) wewould lik e lo hoc some sort of eliorls made to plow out th eparking lots af t er a storm , rep air or cull a t tent ion Lo ruts in theroad (a b eauty dev eloped down tin ; hill from Woodman last week),and improv e the policing system. The campus police , should paymore 'i l le/i l ion lo moving vehicles , which can kill , in stead of themore docile parked ears.

by Jim Mclillo'Within the next few weeks the students will be

demanding from he trustees and the administrators newfreedoms in tlie social and academic areas. With freedomcomes responsibility and a mature outlook as to theconsequences, that may result from these new-foundprivileges. Most people see the repercussions as callingfor a new campus judicary or setting up new channels ofcommunications to protect the rights of the students.Maybe we might have a student complaints center or theOmbudsman could handle it , hut has anyone thought ofworking with the civil authorities?

The student has for too long been treated as aspecial citizen in the American Empire. It is about timethat students take on some of the responsibilities of lifethat they are so studiously preparing for. Why- are drugcharges mere slaps on the wrists at a college, when in theother world people face the possabilities of a jailsentence and a criminal record ? So what if the offensegoes on his history ? Most companies require either adiploma or at most a transcript neither of which wouldreveal to the employer that the former student has- a

My first glance at the February 13 issue of the"new" ECHO brought mc to the editorials, stillunsigned arid still situated in front of the news articles'. Iwas informed of its new management , and a cruisethrough the pages brough t about these reflections.

There was much that was commendable. Thearticle on "The . Leonard Hall Six," although amisnomer, as the event actually took place in Marriner ,was an illuminating inquest into an aspect of Colby 'sjudicial sy stem 1, for one, had not been familiar with.More insights such as this will surely make a good anddifferent mark for the new head staff.

Yet 1 did recognize a pitfall the ECHO haspreviously encountered - and fallen into. Whereas it isright for a college newspaper lo concern itself withissues external to the campus, it also has a responsibilityto deal with these in a mature, objective manner. Theeditors should guard against naive , impassioned displaysof prejudice, bias, and even hate, On this matter , I wasin for a few disappointments.

drug record.Whenever there is an incident on campus

involving a student, the deans must first hear about it.When a student is hit or beaten , it goes to Ihe deans. Ifthe incident involves two Colby .students, an assaultcharge becomes a distrubance or disagreement to bedealt with by student judiciary . The accused also hasdisadvantages under the system, as he can be put intriple jeopardy at the whim of the deans. Our legalsystem at Colby is a mockery of justice at all levels. Anappeal for a system is not the issue, what needs to beinstituted is a civil court system.

The campus cops arc adequate, but they, in mostcases are not the law enforcers. It is the deans , tha tusually receive complaints concerning the students andit is they who act upon them. The deans are many timesprejudicial as they not only arrest but prosecute and inmany instances through their powers of persuasion andthrough their triple jeopardy powers convict thestudent. All of these functions should be handled by-professionals and the deans should take care that their

It was abit disconcerting for him to flail out at the FacultyAppeals Board , which is composed of -what are regardedto be three of the more liberal Colby professors.

Throughout the country , state and federal legislators are going throughthe painstaking process of revising existing drug laws which do not take intoaccount the vast differences among particular so-called "drugs 1'. The mainemphasis of this change is to separate out marijuana and other relativel y mild"psy chedelic drugs" from the general classification which includes narcoticswhile still maintaining the prohibition on both. Most available scientific evidenceseems to support this reclassification and the increased use of marijuana in thecountry as well as changing social attitudes have impelled usuall y stod gy-legislators to take action.

An eleven-member drug-stud y council to propose leg islation to theMassachusetts legislature has suggested keeping the production and sale ofmarijuana a criminal offense , but limiting the penalty for its use to fines (rang ingfrom $100 for a first offense lo S1000 for a second offense) . There would he noarrest or records and no jail terras for use of the drug, and there would be nolegal sanctions against persons who were present when marijuana was being used.Even the Slate of Maine has reduced the use of marijuana lo a misdemeanor.

The onl y cited reasons for the regula tion involve possible danger to thewelfa re of students 1 and the college 's "prim ary responsibility for the phy sical ,intellectual and psycholog ical well-being of the students. " There seems to beimp licit in both reasons, the notion that use of marijuana is in some illeg i t imateway harmful to other students. Mow ibis is possible is left lo conjecture. The LaGuard ia Report and other studies have shown that there is no direct relationshi pbetween marijuana and criminal or aggressive behavior. Nor is there a direct linkbetween marijuana and the harder drugs wh ich could induce such behavior. Asfor possible psycholog ical harm lo others caused by a "pot-smok er", it is morelikel y that those others are in need of psycholog ical assistance than the offender.

Colby has made no such progress wilh regard lo ils administrativeregul ations. In the section of those regulations entitled "Drugs", the p hrase"marijuana or other d rugs" appears twice and in all other instances the lerin"drugs" alone is intended lo cover marijuana as well. The use r is , according tothis regulation , subject lo suspension , one; of the most severe jienally availabl e lothe college . Although Dean Rosenthal staled in an earlier ECHO interview thaihe was aware of the diffe rence between marijuana and so-called "hard drugs "ther e has been little evidenc e of ibis in the dean 's p rosecution of "drug eases"bef ore Student J udiciary and the Faculty A ppeals Hoard the past few semesters.The concern of the college for Ihe welfare of students using marijuana is obviousfrom their exhortation that such students should innned latel y seek"psycholog ical , psychiatric or other medical assistance ", but apparentl y unl ess astudent desists from his use of marijuana , ihere will be no mercy .

The potential harm lo the user is another matt er. Here the evidence is lessclear , though still no I adequate to the penalties perscriheil . Studies have shownthai no immediate severe ph ysical disorders issue from moderate use ofmarijuana is probabl y more n symptom than a cause of diso rder. The ha GimediaReport found evidence that psychosis can occur under marijuana bul noevidence that marijuana was the cause . Al the worst , marijuana may draw outpsychotic behavior from alread y di sturbed individuals. Tbe most likel ypsycholog ical disadvantage of marijuana use is its use as an ('motional crutch.But , our society so abounds in such art if icial supports thai lo outlaw all of themfor thai reason would lead either lo massive: civil disobedience on a scab*heretofore unimag incd or to the total dissolution ol" the entin! structure.

Tlie main reason for the prohibit ion of man ijuana , aside fro m the genera lsocial tahoo , is the maze of unresearched p otential dangers that are overl yemp ha sized by some and unfortunatel y ignored by o thers. 1'erh aps th e bestcourse to lak e is lo alter existing laws and regulat ions according lo wha t we doknow with an awareness of what may lie in th e area of tlie unknown. We doknow thai use of marijuana should nol be viewed or dealt with iu the same termsas use of narcotics. In the li gh t of this and in lite li ght of th at which is k n o w nab out the specific effects of marijuana , is it any longer advisable lo liring theseverest possible puni shments lo bear on users of marijua na *.

It is understood thai ihe (loans arc obli ged to "go by th e book" if that"hook" is lo mean anything , hut concern for the "well-being " and "welf are ofstudents" can be interpreted in a number of ways , no t all of ihem punitive.

Th e rules must obviousl y he changed; though here the resp onsibility rt-slsn ot wllh the deans any longer , but wi th ihe students , Tim events of last springj iihI th e Con-Gon this fall have pla ced the burden of and slruelure for theinit iat i on of rules and changes in rules wil l i the students i\\\i\ faculty , And sinceno one "hussies" th e faculty on this matter (limy are nol covered by the rule ) ,tb e students are left holding the hag.

Con 7 from pg. 6"the greatest threat to the internal security of the country "among black mili tant groups. In August , the Justice Departmentinstituted a task force whose purpose is lo keep closeobservation over Panther actions and lo compile information toassist local police in the repression of Panther activities ,

Although federa l officials hav e denied any role inco-ordinating a nation-wide , systematic extermination of thePanthers , they admit that the strongl y iintl-P anl 'ier sentiment inWashington migh t influence local police in their uHacks againstthem. This assurance of no direct involvement , however ,became suspect recently when the Fill pressed lor aHnrnplon-l ike raid in Seattle to seize u Panther arms cache andwas deterred only by the desire of local officials to avoid thebloody controversy that occurred in Chicago.

Much of the ant ipathy felt towards Ihe Panthers wast:rmi\i u) by wuhisprtuui minunihinlnniWnK of P/inllier programs.Contrary lo ihe s ta tements of TIME , Ihe Panthers are notcommunistic although they are unli-eiipi liilisl , Neither arc theyblack racists. Their ideology centers around the concept thatBla ck Am eri ca is n colony within \Vhi l« Am erica ; that , as inIr eland of I he lust cen l ury, their territory is owned by absentee

landlord s who exploit the powcilcssncss of the people . Theiropposition to police stems from their anger over continuousincursions by while police into black areas and the chronic,int imidation of the inhabitants. In last Jul y 's RAMPARTS , ArtGoldberg and Gene Murine document u typ ical case of favored!renlmcnt accorded a white policeman who had killed aninnocent black man. They conclude that police "arc sodetermined to 'proleet (heir own ' and so virulent in (heir racismthat they assert a virtual license to kill."

The I'anlhers have much evidence lo support theircontention of white racism amongst (be police, And if n othingelse, (he recent rash of police raids lias confirmed the Panthers1

claim that they must defend themselves against policeaggression,

Their Parly program is expressed in a ten-point demandfor jusliee and equality. As JJuey Newt on and Hobby Scale werecompletin g Ihe first version of I he platf orm in 1066, Ilu eyreached (he tenth point and said , "I.el 's summariz e it: Wc wantland, we want br ead , we want housing, we want clothing, wewa nt education , we want j usti ce, nnd we want peace" (GenuMurin e, THE BLACK PANTHERS ), A later version of the tenth

point included the Declaration of Independence.The Panthers are not wild-eyed , irrational anarchists. Led

by Iluey Newton , Eldridge Cleaver , and Bobby Scale, they «more thnt Ihe Democrats and Republicans -- embod y the spiritof freedom and human dignity for which this nation purports tost and. Newlon and Cleaver , especially, articulate the black causewith an honesty and eloquence llial cannot help but stir men ofall ra ces. But in our sad land where national hysteria has givensupport to the most blatant perversions of law , voices of dissenthave repeatedly been silenced by th e bla st of a gun or th eclanging of a prison door, So it was with Hampton and Ilulloiiand Newton and Cleaver and Scale.

Am eri ca desperately needs a new direction in dealin gwith the black crisis. An answer might he the establishment ofblack regions of partial autonomy, Another could delegatecontrol of police and schools to (lie individual communities.And certainl y, an offe r of amnesty lo Panther leaders could domuch to cool passions. But the Nixon-Mitchcll -Dideysuppression of d issent serves no purpose but Ihe cxasecrbationof race hatreds.

BCAKD ACCEPTS CON-CONThe Board of Trustees met in Boston, on January 31,

1970 and . voted the following resolution:In recognition of the devoted efforts of many persons hi

organizing, running, and successfully carrying out the programof the Colby Constitutional Convention, the Board of Trusteeshereby expresses its appreciation to the President of theCollege, members of the administration, faculty, studentgovernment, Alumni Council, Parents' association, and thePlanning Committee, the officers and delegates to theConvention, and others for the spirit of cooperation andproblem-solving approach and constructive suggestions forchange in the governance of Colby College.

The recommendations of the Constitutional Conventionhaving been approved by the faculty meeting and studentreferendum, the Board of Trustees take the following actionsthereon:

ON MATTERS RELATINGTO STRUCTURAL MODIFICATION

The Board endorses the proposal relating to StructuralModifications including the criteria for facilty memberships onthe Conference and Review Board adopted by the FacultyMeeting of January 21, 1970, and authorizes the President totake the actions necessary to implement this proposal.

The Board of Trustees stands ready to considermodifications in this structure. The Conference and ReviewBoard may make such recommendations as it wishes.

ON STUDENT PARTICIPATIONIN DEPARTMENTAL PLANNIN G

The Board of Trustees approves the recommendations

relating to student participation in Departmental planning.ON MATTERS RELATING TO THE'COMPOSITlON "

OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND ITS COMMITTEESAt its Fall meeting, the Board created a Student Affairs

Committee, as recommended by the first session of theConstitutional Convention, in the expectation that this willopen an important channel of communication between thestudent hody and the Board.

The Board instructs its chairman (of the Board ofTrustees) to appoint a suitable number of student members toserve with full voting privileges o>n the following committees ofthe Board of Trustees: Educational Policy, Planning, Buildingand Grounds, and Student Affairs Committees.

The Board recognizes the validity of direct student aswell as faculty participation in its deliberations, but a majorityof the Board believes that giving either student or facultyrepresentatives a vote on issues affecting them cither asindividuals or their emtire constituencies might give rise toquestionable conflicts of interest in the bod y having ultimateauthority. Therefore, Ihe Board invites student government tpestablish procedures for the student body as a whole tonominate and elect tw« student representatives to the Boardwho shall have the same privileges of participation in theBoard's deliberations as the faculty representatives. Studentgovernment, if it wishes, may designate two interimrepresentatives to serve Until student elections are held.

ON THE OFFICE OF OMBUDSMANThe Board accepts the concept of the office of

ombudsman as recomimendcd by the Constitutional Convention

and requests the President, after suitable consultations, tonominate a person for the office of ombudsman, who wouldreceive a retainer fee and additional compensation on a perdiem or hourly basis as his services may be required , said officerto function in accordance with the provisions recommended bythe Constitutional Convention.

ON EVALUATIONThe Board accepts the proposition relating to evaluation

adopted by the Constitutional Convention.A casual perusal of the accompaning document from he

Board of Trustees reveals that the recommendations of theConstitutional Convention ha-ve been accepted essentially intheir entirety. Two points, however, deserve a closer look.

No change is to be made in the voting membership of theBoard of Trustees. Instead, two elected students are to sit in onthe Board meetings as non-voting participants . Studentrepresentatives shall be given he same privileges of participationin the deliberation as of the Board as the facultyrepresentatives. Until elections take place, Student Governmentis authorized to select interim representatives.

Students have been granted fuU voting power on theEducational Policy, Planning, Building and Grounds, andStudent Affairs Committees. As it stands now, the chairman ofthe Board , Mr. Jette, is responsible for appointing "a suitablenumber of student members" to the aforementionedcommittees. Whether or not Mr. Jette himself will actually bedeciding members and making appointments remains to be seen.The real work involved in the Board's running of Colbyallegedly takes place in these committees.

by Robert ParryAt 4: 44 on the morning of December 4, the Chicago

police knocked sharp ly on the front door of an apartment al21137 West Monroe Street. Mark Clark , a Black Panther fromPeoria , 111., began to open tbe door. Looking into the diml y lithallway, Clark discerned a phalanx of police men , some hearingshotguns and one carry ing a suhinachincgun. The police claimhe yelled "Shot it out!" as he (lucked back behind the partiall yopened door. The police began firing first. Their bullets ripped

' through the door and into Clark. He fell dead , the shotgunwhich he carried discharg ing at a weird angle. The police movedin through, the front and back doors; they fired on theoccupants, critically wounding four. They burs t into thebedroom of Fred Hampto n and shot two bullets into his head.

The police say the gun hatt ie lasted twenty minutes -but that is not likely. If it were so, one wonders why Hamptonwas still in bed when he was killed, hi a prolonged gun battle,the bullets which perforat ed the apartment would have givenHampton sufficient warning to get out of lied and hide. ThePanthers claim that Hampton was still asleep, and anindependent autopsy confirms that tbe Chairma n of the IllinoisBlack Panther Parly was indeed lay ing in bed when a personstanding above him fired the fatal bullets.

Stale Attorney Edward V . Hanrahim , head of MayorDaley 's war on gangs, commended "the police officers for theirbraverv , their remarkable restraint and their disci pline in thefa ce of this Black Panther attack" (NEW REPUBLIC -- Jan. 10).Tlie Panther version of the conflict does nol agree; neither doIhe observ ations of impartial witnesses.

there were no bullet holes in any wall where there shouldhave* been if Ihe Panthers had been firing. Indeed.D A I L Y NEWS columnist Mike Hoyko dry ly suggestedthat the Panther bullets had miraculousl y dissolved inmid-air. (NEWSWEEK - Dec . 22).

TIME cited the op inion of Renault Kohinsc-n , president of theAfro—American Patrolmen 's League, who said that , based on

evidence al the scene of the shoot-out , his organisationdid not believe the official police version of the incident"We found no evidence that anyone had fired Iron)inside the aparlment .'" (TIME • Dee. 12)

I hil , beyond Ihe actual event s of tlie morning gun battle ,several important questions remained unanswered. Wh y did thepolice dedde to raid Hampt on 's apartment in the I'irsl place?The police claim it was a routine search for unregistered firearms, hut then why wen* they so heavily armed , why did t heychoose the ridiculous t ime of quarter of five iu Ihe mornin g,and why did they take Ihe precaut ion lo encircle the entireblock with officers? Certainl y by picking 11 less provocativehour , Ihe police could have served thoir warrant without anappreciabl y increase in Ihe danger to near-hy residents and withthe distinct possibility that Ihe search could have been•conducted non-violent ly.

Hit I a peaceful search was not Ihe iiilenl of the Chicago

police; they were out lo kill Panthers , particularl y the leader ,Fred Hampton . When one of the police raiders was asked at theGrand Jury inquiry why the police had not used tear gas, heflustered and answered , "We just didn 't think of it." In a raid someticulously planned and staged in the wee hours of themorning, such thoughtlessness is not only inexcusably, it 's a lie.

Shortly before his death , Martin Luther King, Jr.,denounced the United States as "the major purveyor of violencein the world." The murder of Fred Hampton is just oneexample of the ways in which American governmental agenciesexercise violent control over the populace. Admittedly, the caseof Hampton and the Black Panthers is an extre me and trutal

Liberation. News Serviceone , but it typ ifies the determination of national and localleaders to keep a firm rein on the freedom of the people. Thekilling re presents the violent suppression of one individualbecause of his political and philosophical beliefs , but moresignificantly, il symboliz.es the repression of all Americans and ,specifi cally, those who arc black.

This '"legal violence " lakes many forms and tends tocloud the actual meanings of the terms "legality" and"violence." Since the words arc large ly defined by the people inpower , Ihe meanings are often arbitary and hollow. As theeditorial in lasl July 's RAMPARTS explains ,"when mass deathis officiall y disseminated , il is 'policy,' bul when a Harvard deanis shaken a hi I , it 's 'violence. 1 " Thus, Ameri can blacks havebeen brutalized for centuries -- all either in the name of law orunder Ihe tacit approval of police. For a black man to secure hisrights in this country, he must , almost by definition , become acriminal.

"Legal violence" operates in other ways as well. Jailsentences, like the contempt citations meted out to the ChicagoEight, represent one of its passive forms. Instead of physicall yharming an individual , the government simply robs him ofseveral years of his life and subjects him to a process ofde-liumanization and "acculturation" that would do the NorthKoreans proud. Further , operating within America's schools is asystem of propaganda and brainwashing which we would readilycondemn if perpetrated in a communist stale. Americantextbooks teach my ths, many of the most pernicious sort.Children learn of white racial superiority, the righteousness ofall our wars, the respectability of ruthless financiers , and therighteousness - under divine guidance -- of our conquest of acontinent.

Bul most of all, they arc trained to submit to thegovernment and acquiesce to its laws. Despite traditionalprotestations lo the contrary , the American child , in reality , isdirected not to question. To steal from a child the freedom ofhis mind is an act of violence .

The blacks in America have been the most victimized byall these methods of coercion and indoctrination. Traditionally ,the American government has attempted to corrode the blackman's desire and determination to be free , (To lesser thoughsignificant degrees, it has done the same to the whites.]Systematically, Negroes have been garroted by the schoolsystems and then reanimated as docile, obedient zombies read ylo take their place in the coffin of menial labor. This submissiveacceptance of the beast-of-burden role has pleased the whittpower structure for many years.

However , conditions have changed and now theAmerican system faces a challenge. A generation of black menhas emerged and has proved impervious to even our brand namebleaches -- yes, even Clorox has failed. Thus, national and localleaders have been forced to resort to devices much harsher thanthe gentle sudsing action of propaganda or an occasional directapplication of blue , liquid judicial authorit y. They have calledou t the firehoses, Ihe dogs, the tear gas, the clubs, and even thesubma chineguns. They have turned loose the flailing arm of thelaw and jailed thousands of blacks, including many key leaders.The peaceful facades have crumbled. From the Kerner lo iheWalker Reports , federal commissions have condemned excessivepolice violence , and Ihe trials of such men as Iluey Newton andEldridgc Cleaver have left the legal consciences of evenmoderate lawyers spinning.

The Black Panther Party has absorbed the brunt of thepresent national depravity of police violence. As many astwenty-ei ght Panthers have been killed by police; many othersface trials on obviousl y trumped-up charges (like conspiring toblow up tlie Botanical Gardens); and others , like Cleaver , h avebeen forced into hiding or exile. In January 1969, AttorneyGeneral Mitchell labeled the Panthers a subversive threat tonational .security and instructed the FBI to commenceelectronic surveillance of individual Panthers and Partyhead quarters , Lasl Jul y, J. Edgar Hoover called Ihe Panthers

Thus it was that somewhere close lo three hundredpeople passed two and » half hours of last Saturday night.Absolute chaos reigned toward the end of Ihe scene; hut , intypical newspaper talk , a good time was had by all. Thanks townler-ha^ed painl, it was cleaned up in an hour after the fact .

Sunday night presented a cleaner and less chaotic versionof Ihe same soi l of creative goofing, More relaxed and minuspainl , many of Ihose who had enjoyed Saturday nigh t returnedfor more of Ihe same . It was different , however. The hand didnot perform , it jammed.

HO C KEY B EF EA1S MIDDLE8HBRYSparked by a four goal

outburst in the second period theColby varsity hockey team skatedto an impressive 7-4 victory overMiddlebury College last Saturdayafternoon on Colby's Alfond rink.

All thro ugh die first periodthe Mules had a territorialadvantage. They had manyopportunities but didn 't break thescoring ice until more than halfwaythrough the opening period. With8:50 left winger John Bowey brokeinto the Middlebury zone and let goa backhand sliot that the goaliesaved. Bowey's Uncinate Dana Fitts,however, was trailing the play andput the loose rebound past thesprawled Middlebury nctminder.This was the only tally that eitherteam could manage as the Mulesleft the ice leading 1-0 after thefirst period.

The second period startedout as a repeat of the first withboth teams unable to takeadvantage of the other's mistakes.At 12:59 of the period , however,Colby's offense began to come tolife as Jim Patch scored the first ofColby 's four goids in that period.He was stationed al tbe corner ofthe crease and during a scramble infront of the net Patch managed tostuff the puck between theMiddlebury goalie and the post.

Two and a half minutes laterco-captain Todd Smith took a pass,broke around the Middlehurydefense , and passed the goalie loscore Colby's third goal. With theMules short-handed , Smith scoredhis second goal of Ihe game at

13:20. After picking up the puck atcenter ice, the Colby defenscmenttook it just inside die Middleburyhluclinc and let go a slap shot thatbroke through the goalie's pads.

Middlebury closed the gap to4-1 at 15:47 of the second periodas they finally beat Colby's goalieDan Timmons during a scramble infront of the Mules' net. Before theend of the period center DaveWilliams scored the fourth Colbygoal of the period as he beat thescreened Middlebury nctminderwith a low backhand shot.

Early in the third period theMules tallied again as DeweyDurnart put in a loose reboundduring a scramble in front of theMiddlebury net. Leading 6-1 Colbystarted to coast but Middlebury had

not given up yet. Ihcy scored threegoals and closed the gap to 6-4.However, just thirteen seconds afte rtlie fourth Middlebury goal JimPatch put the game out of reachwith his second goal of the day.Patch again was in the right place ashe picked up a rebound and beattlie Middlebury goalie atpoint-Mank range.

This victory was a veryimportant one for the Mules intheir drive to make the Division IIplayoffs. Tomorrow night at 7:30Colby takes on Norwich Universityhere at the Alfond rink. Aldioughthe Mules have beaten Norwichtwice this year, Hiis is a team thatcannol be taken lightly and a gamethat must be won to keep Colby'splayoff hopes alive.

During th e lialfti ine of the Colb y-UlVIaine - busk.eLb .ill gam elast week , a local radio announcer was intcrveiwing j i UMaineathleti c: dep artment official. On the subject of the UMaine athlet icfa ciliti es, it wa s pointed out that , unless one is ihe me mber of iivar sity sport , most of those faci l i t ies lire unavailable lo the rest ofthe college community . In comparison , Col by is ind eed loi'tuna le ,no l onl y lo have excellent facilities , bul also lo have llieni soreadil y availabl e to everyone.

There arc three major divisions of athlet ics al Colby, th evarsity teams, club teams and the inleiTratcrnily l eagues. Each ofthese divisions cover most major sports w i l h the eliih system usedto develop teams tliat have future promise at Colby. A l present ,squash , swimming and lacrosse fit into this catego ry. While ihe cluband varsity levels deal directl y wilh intcrcolleg iale conip elilion , theint er-fralernily league (IKb ) turns rather lo recroalion for a greatmany peop le wheth er they arc good alhleles or nol and whetherthey belong lo ti f ra terni ty or aro independent. 11 is in thisparti cular area thai the IF I. , draws most of its stre ngth.

In th e pasl five years , ihe in t ramura l II ' L sports have beenon th e up swing al Colhy. Al present , th ere are nine fraternityteams (a l thoug h sometimes a f ra te rn i t y can field more lluui oneteam) and up lo two independent teams competing in u vari ety ofsports tha t range from football in the fall lo lwiskclhull , hockey,and v olley ball in w i n t er to soflhall in I lie spring; , bast year , thecompetition in all these sports was -pa rticularl y intens e and thisy ear indicates Uni t this lias nol decreased at all. There arenum erous slrong tennis in each sporl and even the weaker teamsar e readil y able to spring an upsel on ihe league leaders .

Th e p oin t of all this is lo show llial Colliy has not l imitedi lw ;If to onl y vars i ty sports, I l lias provided an effect ive , clubsystem for new sports and has sel up the IFL for those who jnslwan t lo have fun , /Slid , one can still even wander down lo the fieldbouse and be readilv assured thai lie (or she , since Colby also eiderslo female alhleles) f i n d sort of recreation availabl e. While a p lacelik e Maine must apportion its facili t ies lo ils' first pri ori lien (i.e.varsity sp orts) Colb y can sp read its facilities our in many dire ctionsand provide aelivt! conip elilion and recreation for a greaterpercentage of its co llege con imi i n i ly .

RUMBLINGSCon t f rom pg. 2duties as advisers to students aretetter fulfulled. The handing overof these powers to the rightfulauthorities would leave the deansopen to consultation with studentsin which they wo uld not feelobligated to prosecute.

The students would facemany obvious disadvantages. Theywould be forced to cope withreality four years earlier. Manyunaware students would find outwhat it means to be responsible fortheir actions. Why should everyonewithout four thousand dollars ayear be treated special and tuckedaway on a hill for four years? It isin many ways an issue of moneybecause not only do you get to hidefor four years on a hill overlookingthe rest , but also the college as aprestigious institution wields thepolitical power to seriouslyinfluence the decision of the localauthorities. A nineteen-year old canget thrown in jaU for punching outa fellow man yet if it is a fellowstudent, he gets reprimanded. If heis arrested for drugs he is thrown injail , not sent to his room and toldto be a good boy. YOU thestudents that go off campus eachJanuary to catch a glimpse oflong-sought after reality shouldjump at this idea: to be able to dealwith the world 365 days a year. Asfor the teachers who encouragethese students, the feeling that allstudents are finally beinginformally educated should be awelcome relief. Dean, here is theanswer to your dreams. You maynow sit down with a studentwithout saying, "Don't mentionnames. 1 don't want to know themif it is against school policy." Therewon't be any school policy.

All we will have to worryabout is the good and fair and just"American legal structure". Maybesome of the professors could teachpractical law instead ofinternational. Many students mightpossibly face their practicals beforetheir departmental.

Yes , students demand those

freedoms and ask for thoseprivileges by why not face up to thesupreme freedom? Why don'tstudent activists ask for the right tobe treated like their brothers? Or isit too much to ask?

LETTERS TO EDITOR •

Con ' t from pp,. 2paraded gains little except his ownimpulse release. His logic astoundedme. When lie called for leadership("What the country needed mostwas a dynamic leader capable ofmspiring the nation to meet its.many problems, a leader who couldimpel us forward and prevent thefratmenred country from tearingapart") I could only hope he wasnot thinking of some Hitler. Or isNixon the same kind of "pig;"?

"As long as speeches" ¦ Ishould insert articles - "like this arebeing majle, nothing can be takentoo seriously."

Randall ChildsEditor 's Note: For the record, theevent actually took place inLeonard Hall.

Dear Sir:In the February 13, 1970

edition of the ECHO, I wrote asummary of Student Governmentactivities during the month ofJanuary. The original draft statedthat the meeting of January 18 was"one of the most importantmeetings of the year." In the ECHOit appeared as "one of the mostfrustrating meetings of the year." 1seriously object to this change inwording because it altered theentire concept of the meeting andalso because the meeting was nolfrustrating. If it had been , I wouldhave written it as such.

The Stu-G summary issupposed to be as objective aspossible, so if the editor feels thatany meeting is frustrating orotherwise , would he please use theeditorial space provided on page 2to state his opinion.

Sincerely,Anne OTIaiiian

Secretary of Stu-G

To the Editor:A Nine Point Proposal for the Draft

1. All males who are eligibleand capable must serve from18 to 24 months in theservice of their country .

2. Service of country willconsist of:A. Military Service (18

months) - As it nowstands.

B. Foreign Service (24months) -- PeaceCorps type activity ina designated area suchas Latin America.

C. National Service (24months) — Civilservice, Governmentprojects, SocialDevelopment.

3. All eligible males will receivetheir choice of service in thefollowing manner: A malewill first be asked to entermilitary service. If hisresponse to a military call isnegative, he will be placedinto foreign service. If forvarious factors he is notcapable for his choice ofeither the military service orthe foreign service, he will beplaced into national service.

4. Males fro m all three areas ofservice will be given three tofour months of basic trainingin the military.

5. Pay grade will v ary withdanger and hardship ofservice. The military servicewill receive the highest paygrade and the nationalservice mil receive thelowest pay grade.

6. Those in foreign andnational service will beobligated to enter militaryservice only if Congressdeclares war.

7. Individuals who entermilitary service will be askedto sign a contract ofagreement with thegovernment to militaryservice on foreign soil. If theindividual does not chooseto sign this contract , he

cannot be called to duty onforeign soil, unless Congressdeclares war.

8, Males who are 4-F and ofrelate d status in terms of notbeing able to undergo basicmilitary training, will servein the national service, in so

far as their capabilities allowthem.

9. Criteria for obtaining aconscientious objector statuswill remain the same.
