The plan to rebuild the· coliseum was conceived in 1972, three years after the city took over management of the facility, he said. Until this time the building was under the jurisdiction of the Winston-salem Foundation. At first there was talk of building an entirely new structure on another site near the city, Dalrymple said. However, this idea was abandoned-when a proposal was introduced to fqrm a sports complex, consisting of Groves- Stadium, Ernie Shore Field, the Dixie Classic· Fairgrounds, and the coliseum itself.

Escalators to the upper concourse levels will be installed and facilities for press and television will be extended. The only structure to be left Wltouched is the arena floor itself. The entrance to the coliseum will be adorned with fountains and gardens, and provision for a taxi pick-up has been made. A lobby will be constructed to accommodate the increased number of spectators attending coliseum events. The plan will be presented to Winston-salem citizens as a bond proposal in June. Dalrymple is optimistic in assessing the possibility of the proposal's acceptance, in view of the fact that attendance at the coliseum has been on the upswing for the (iast three years, with Wake Forest having sold out each of its home games this season. Dalrymple also points out the increased revenue which the city will receive by rebuilding the outdated facility. At the present time, the city cannot attract great entertainers because of the limited seating capacity of the coliseum, he said. The construction as now planned could possibly close the facility for one season, but architects are considering a method that could alleviate this inconvenience and permit construction to continue without interrupting any scheduled events. If the bond is passed, by November 1979, Winston-salem could conceivably have the largest coliseum between Atlanta and Baltimore, Dalrymple said. Ideas Requested On New Lounges Independent residents of Davis and Taylor houses who wish to offer suggestions concerning the purpose and policies of the new men's lounges to be built this summer should contact their head resident. Interested independents will serve on study groups to decide proposals for rules and policies concerning the new lounges as well as desired types of furnishings. According to Doug B}and, director of residence life, the university "administration has been very positive about student input." The success of the new lounges will depend upon this student input, said Men's Residence Council President Scott Smith. "We need students to get a cross section of viewpoints. Those views will affect the design and furnishings of the new lounges. "I'm not sure if certain segments of the campus community will take advantage of the new lounges," Smith said. "But by encouraging student input, we hope students will be more respectful of what we have." The administration has set aside $15,000 per lounge for furnishings. The lounges which are scheduled for completion by August will be comparable to the lounges in the women's dorms, tn Bland. A committee of nine voting· students will present recommendations concerning lounge policies to administrators based on the suggestions of the study group. Comprising the voting student group will be two fraternity representatives, independents, two MRC governors, two house representatives and the president of MRC. Times Columnist Carlyle Speaker New York Times colunmist and associate editor Tom Wicker will •speak Wednesday at 8 p.m. in Wait Chapel as this year's Carlyle lecturer. He is the author of eight novels and three nonfiction books including Kennedy Without Tears and JFK & LBJ: The Influence of Personality Upon Politics. His latest work, A Time to Die, was published last March. Wicker was born in Hamlet, N.C. and graduated from UNC in 1948. He has worked on various state newspapers including the Winston-salem Journal. During the Attica prison riots, Wicker was personally invited by inmates to witness living conditions of the prison. The first Carlyle lecture was held in 1972 as a memorial to Irving E. Carlyle, prominent Winston-&lem attorney who died in April, 1971. Carlyle was a Wake. Forest alunmus, son of a Wake Forest professor, and a president of the university Board of Trustees, known for his frequent attendance at College '!Jnion lectures. In 1954 Carlyle took a stand for the Supreme Court's decision against racial discrimination which cost him his seat in the North Carolina state senate. Appropriately, Carlyle lecturers are selected for their political courage. F01mer lecturers have been James Reston, New York Times associate editor ( 1972); Representative Andrew Young, Georgia's first black congressman (1973); Sargent Shriver (1974); and ·congresswoman Shirley Chisholm (1975). Campus Drug Use Overlooked 'llFST. By MARK LEUCHTENBERGER Assistant Editor Dru-g use at Wake Forest apparently is handled by university and local authorities with a policy of studied indifference. A brief investigation by the Old Gold and Black this week showed that the use of drugs on campus, especially marijuana, is. common. No student reported encountering any enforcement of drug regulations by residence personnel. Marijuana is by far the most widely used drug. Base? interviews of students, tt ts estimated that 20 to 30 per cent of male students use marijuana once or twice a week. The percentage of women users was more difficult to estimate because "women are a lot more secretive," according to one woman. Use is estimated at between ten and 20 per cent of female students. The woman attributed the secretiveness of the female users to a fear of being turned iri by fellow students. · "It's a different situation from the men's dorms," she said. "Over here there's a definite feeling that someone on your hall might turn you in if they found -out." Approximately half the users said they usually lo ought thE> marijuana that they The rest said they only smoked when offered marijuana by friends. The most common method of mo' .ing marijuana .at Wake urest is U ·' joint. However, several students reported that they also use a water pipe or "bong" (a device sinlilar in function to the water pipe) to cool the smoke. None of the users interviewed see any difference between marijuana and alcohol as far as health is concerned. Most said they regarded marijuana, like alcohol, as something used for social purposes. One freshman, who claimed he had been smoking since he was 13, said he treated smoking marijuana "in the same way as drinking. "It all depends on the situation, such as availability, or whether I have work to do. One week I might only smoke once, and the next week I'll do it five times or more," he said. A sophomore said he considers "both smoking and drinking to be negativP acts. The only difference is that of legality. "I take pleasure in being in control of my faculties. Pot is like drinking, in that I consider it to be one of my indulgences," he said. Fraternities were found to be the major centers for buying and smoking marijuana, and to a lesser degree for other drugs. Members of four of the larger fraternities estimated 50 to 80 per cent of their members regularly smoke marijuana. "Most of the smoking goes on at parties," said one fraternity member. "Downstairs is where the drinking is. The smoking is usually done upstairs in the donn rooms." Methods of obtaining drugs in fraternities vary, members said. The most common consists of two or three people with "out-of-town l'onncctions" buying a shipment of from two to eight ot marijuana and then selling quantities tQ other members, often at a discount. In a less popular practice, fraternity members pool their funds to buy a large quantity of a drug. One reason for the limited use of this method, said one student, is that "the guy who's got the connections is still going to be taking the risk, and he usually wants to make some money from the deal." Students expressed concern that the publishing of an article on the drug situation might lead to a crackdown on campus. "After reading something like this, the administration might very well order a crackdown," said one student. "But they have to face the facts sooner or later.

Seating Capacity Enlarged

Plan Reva~ps Coliseum By ANN WINDON

Staff Writer

The Winston-salem Coliseum may soon acquire a. new, modern appearance, with enlarged seating capacity of nearly 20,000 and a cost to the city of nearly $18 million, according to James Dalrymple, overseer of the program.

The plan to rebuild the· coliseum was conceived in 1972, three years after the city took over management of the facility, he said. Until this time the building was under the jurisdiction of the Winston-salem Foundation.

At first there was talk of building an entirely new structure on another site near the city, Dalrymple said. However,

this idea was abandoned-when a proposal was introduced to fqrm a sports complex, consisting of Groves- Stadium, Ernie Shore Field, the Dixie Classic· Fairgrounds, and the coliseum itself.

Essentially, according to Dalrymple, this is what will take place. The present entrance to the coliseum will be closed and a new one opened facing the other sports facilities. Parking at· ·Groves Stadium will be utilized for the coliseum, as the entire parking area and three fourths of the fairgrounds will be asphalt~.

Campus Drug Use Overlooked 'llFST.

By MARK LEUCHTENBERGER

Assistant Editor

Dru-g use at Wake Forest apparently is handled by university and local authorities with a policy of studied indifference.

A brief investigation by the Old Gold and Black this week showed that the use of drugs on campus, especially marijuana, is. common. No student reported encountering any enforcement of drug regulations by residence personnel.

Marijuana is by far the most widely used drug. Base? ~n interviews of students, tt ts estimated that 20 to 30 per cent of male students use marijuana once or twice a week.

The percentage of women users was more difficult to estimate

because "women are a lot more secretive," according to one woman. Use is estimated at between ten and 20 per cent of female students.

The woman attributed the secretiveness of the female users to a fear of being turned iri by fellow students. ·

"It's a different situation from the men's dorms," she said. "Over here there's a definite feeling that someone on your hall might turn you in if they found -out."

Approximately half the users int.Prvi~>wed said they usually lo ought thE> marijuana that they smoK~U. The rest said they only smoked when offered marijuana by friends.

The most common method of mo' .ing marijuana .at Wake ~ urest is U ·' joint. However, several students reported that

they also use a water pipe or "bong" (a device sinlilar in function to the water pipe) to cool the smoke.

None of the users interviewed see any difference between marijuana and alcohol as far as health is concerned. Most said they regarded marijuana, like alcohol, as something used for social purposes.

One freshman, who claimed he had been smoking since he was 13, said he treated smoking marijuana "in the same way as drinking.

"It all depends on the situation, such as availability, or whether I have work to do. One week I might only smoke once, and the next week I'll do it five times or more," he said.

A sophomore said he considers "both smoking and drinking to be negativP acts. The only

difference is that of legality. "I take pleasure in being in

control of my faculties. Pot is like drinking, in that I consider it to be one of my indulgences," he said.

Fraternities were found to be the major centers for buying and smoking marijuana, and to a lesser degree for other drugs. Members of four of the larger fraternities estimated 50 to 80 per cent of their members regularly smoke marijuana.

"Most of the smoking goes on at parties," said one fraternity member. "Downstairs is where the drinking is. The smoking is usually done upstairs in the donn rooms."

Methods of obtaining drugs in fraternities vary, members said. The most common consists of two or three people with "out-of-town l'onncctions" buying a shipment of from two to eight pound~ ot

marijuana and then selling quantities tQ other members, often at a discount.

In a less popular practice, fraternity members pool their funds to buy a large quantity of a drug. One reason for the limited use of this method, said one student, is that "the guy who's got the connections is still going to be taking the risk, and he usually wants to make some money from the deal."

Students expressed concern that the publishing of an article on the drug situation might lead to a crackdown on campus.

"After reading something like this, the administration might very well order a crackdown," said one student. "But they have to face the facts sooner or later. They !'an 't go on being blind to it.,,

~AGE TWO Frtdav. Februarv 20. 1976. OLD r.m.n . .um RUCK - Rush Rules Defined By KAREN ELKINS

StaHWrtter

Several misunderstandings of Inter-Society Council rush policy have prompted a restatement of rush rules, said ISC rush chairman Dougal MacKinnon.

Every year the problem of dirty rush, loosely defined as anything contrary to the statement and intent of established ISC rush policy, arises.

For example, during the five­week rush period, .society members and rushees may discuss societies only during room rush, parties or open rooms. Any ·conversation in classes or at other social 1 activities must be limited to non­rush related topics, and society members may not visit freshmen rushees, said MacKinnon. Upperclassmen may be visited, but rush is not to be discussed.

No society member may arrange dates for a rushee (or vice versa), provide transportation to non-rush functions or spend money on a rushee. Society members may also not initiate any additional activities outside the parties or open rooms.

Eugene Fodor

Also, no rushee may make a. commital, or show an exclusive interest in one society, nor may a

society member guarantee a rushee that she will receive a bid. MacKinnon said no one society member is in a position to speak for her whole society and can neither guarantee nor deny a bid to a rushee.

Any infraction of the guidelines should be reported to an ISC

· representative, said MacKinnon. · The society and the member who commits the infraction may be fined in serious cases, she said.

Since the new limited bid system may mean that as many as 30 rushees will not receive bids, a fi!W new practices have been instituted to help rushees know where they stand with societies. Although societies

continually go over rushee lists and "cut" people who either have shown no interest or who the society does not wish to continue rushing, ·previously rushees had no way of knowing their situation, according to MacKinnon.

This year, rushees will receive specific invitations to open rooms the day before first preferentials are signed · and· before the · society's second rush party, she said. If a rushee dlies not receive an invitation, she may assume that she has· been c1lt from that society's list and that she should consider other societies.

Although this may seem somewhat blunt, ~·we're trying to make rush more honest and realistic," said MacKinnon.

Notices According to Zeno Martin,

athletic business manager, there are "no definites" as of yet in the plans for the proposed athletic department-sponsored concerts.

Martin said that representatives from Entam Ltd., the promotion agency booking the concerts, were in touch with him, last week, but that "all they have are tentatives."

The Entam promoters told Martin that Elton John, one of the would-be performers in the concert series, is booked for July 4 in Washington, D.C., and that any other bookings will have to be worked around this date. The only date suggested so far for an appearance here, Martin said, is Memorial Day weekend, the last weekend in May.

Hang. ·GlidingJiiStructot! · Teaches Airborne Safety

By JULIA DRAKE Assistant Editor

In Doug Boyle's . judgment, since man was born with his feet on the groWJd, it's natural for him to want to fly.

Boyle wants to be a daredevil cropduster, which be says pays about $30,000 for a four-month stint and leaves eight months free for his true passion-=-hang

gliding. . "Hang gliding is the closest

you can get to flying," he said. The sport got its start on the

west coast in 1968 when Californians began leaping off cliffs over the ocean and soaring gracefully down to land on the nice soft be'ach. Not every flight is graceful, nor is every landing soft. Boyle has seen two friends killed because of their own lack of

judgment while hang gliding. "Once you leap off the .

moWJtain and there's 2,000 feet between you and the ground­that's not the time to plan your flight," he said.

Ego is the cause of many bang gliding accidents, Boyle said. "I fly for my own pers~mal enjoyment. Others get up there and fly loops and whip-stalls for the benefit of TV cameras or their girlfriends."

· cannot be justified," he continued. "In today's mobile society, students are no more transient than many other groups.

Additionally, the average length· of time American citizens remain in one location (63 months) is quite short."

Working in conjunction with Director of Security Robert Upson, the group's members have begun pladning operation of voluntary late-night mobile surveillance teams throughout the Wake Forest area. Experimental patrols began earlier this week.

Each of the club's members has had his CB radio stolen or his car damaged in attempted thefts this year, according to charter member Matt Booher of Vandalia, Ohio. Booher said that high incidence of CB and tape deck thefts motivated campus

,operato~s to take protective measures.

Booher said that the volunteer CB patrols present the fastest and most effective means of preventing future thefts or catching the thieves themselves.

Although club members will patrol streets and parking lots, they will not approach or apprehend suspects. Upon· spotting suspected crimes, patrols will notify campus security or city police for help.

Booher said that volunteer patrolmen will offer help to persons with motor _trouble, but will not seek to enforce university

"Hang·gliding is not a sport you do drunk or stoned," he said. Unfortunately, the books say pte better a person gets at bang . gliding, the greater are his! chances of killing himself.

Boyle attributes this increase in fatality to the t8king of great­er risks as a person gains confidence. He claims the rate of fatalities in. hang gliding is equivalent to that of parachuting .. In 1975, 44 hang gliders were killed out of an estimated 30,000 participants.

Boyle is in Winston-Salem until summer, offering weekend lessons in hang. gliding at a site near Shakey's on Peters Creek Parkway. The goal of the four one-hour lessons is· "to teach safety and the importance of good judgment," he said.

Hang gliding ·takes gracefulness, not s~religth," Boyle said. "The only strength needed is walking back up tbe hill" with the 40-pound kite. ·

Boyle said he has taught 42 girls how to fly. Kites come ·with different sized wingspans for different sized people, he explained. ·

The second two hours of Boyle's course are in ground­handling. Students run with the kite without being strapped in. Their speed creates lift and soon they are controlling the kite with· just their fingertips. The next step is ground-skimming.

"Many students are content to stay at this stage," Boyle said. "There's a place in Boone where you can stay 20 to 30 feet off the ground for a half mile. · ... After learning on the hill here;" Boyle -said,_. "it taltes another 12 months of flymg before a student can jump off Grandfather Mountain."

The Big.Show Hits To;;;_-By TOM BLAND.

. Staff Writer ·

. . . . . : . ·"The Greatest Show on Earth" had already begun I8st. Friday night when two late arrivals, a fatl!er and his son, walked briskly into the lobby of the Greensboro CoUseiml. ·. The ticket booths, briStling with cash· and activity moments· earlier, were closed now. The father looked embarassed upon discovering that there was no way to get into the circus. The little boy simply 'tried to hold back the tears.

For the

There. were the traditional ·sights anc:l sounds one nonnally associates with the circus. The moment . the spectator entered the lobby door, he was greeted by the rhythmical, well-practiced

· call of the program seller who, holding up his product, shouted, "Hey, this way! Programs! Get your programs!"

Closer to the entrance of tlie circus itself, cries of "Candeeh! (jet your cotton candeeh!" rose above the monotonous din of the crowd. The crowd itself, like any crowd, was a curious mixture of young and old, rich and poor.

-' For three· solid hours, the crowd was entertained by the three-ring extravaganza which is the circus. There was a .kind of frustration in trying to view three acts at once, but the beauty of the circus lies in this ability to constantly, steadily entertain all the members of its audience.

most part, however, these men assembled and disassembled machinery and operated the harnesses which saved several acrobats from death.

The harnesses were also a new twist. In almost every act, acrobats were supported by cables attached to a hook inside their costumes. The cable was looped over one of the battens in the metal framework high above the floor, and the other end of it · was controlled by one of the men in blue. These safety devices, less obvious and· safer than nets, eased much of the spectator's tension in watching daring TV feats, but at the same time cut out some of the thrill. There was no classic, horrifying highwire act, in which the artist lays his ·me on the line each time he walks the-tightrope.

Tito Gaona, the featured trapeeze artist of "The Flying Gaonas," views the net he uses as a hazard in itself. "Just because

Of course, the prominent figure I've got a net," he said in an on the floor was the ringmaster, interview with Perry Harold,Ronk, who, donned in a ,,Ech~erger of WFDD-FM,.wllich

Thus the circus adhered to time-honored tradition. But there were some elements which have seemingly been added in recent years. . The maintenance and safety crew, cOmprised of 30 to 40 men clad in blue jumpsuits, roamed the floor all during the show and, indeed, became part of

for his triple somersault into the hands of the catcher. "I really don't like to think about my work. If I think about the danger, I wouldn't get up there."

Gaona prefers, of all things, to look at the crowd from his lofty vantage point.. "I'm watching people's reactions. And the pretty · girls! From up there you get a good view. When I'm working, I don't like to concentrate on my . work. I'd rather concentrate on thinking about the people."

Another new aspect of the circus was the prominance of pageantry. Three spectacular

The purpOse of .the latter pageant was to show how the circus has maintained the . traditions which it has inherited. Over 100 years ago, the marriage of P.T. Barnum's most famous

. star, Tom Thumb, took place, and was widely publicized, popularizing Barnum's growing circus. The "marriage" of Michu. was intended to show how "'lbe Greatest Show on Earth" bas

The pageants, beautifully directed and staged, conveyed that sense of the richness of the circus and of the American tradition. For the two, according to the modern circus interpretation, are vitally linked.

At least the circus was meaningful to the father and the son who were turned away at the door. Taking his son by the hand, the father said, with quiet assurance, "We'll come back tomorrow."

·Bees Become Killers By KEVIN QUINLEY

Staff Writer

An invasion of "killer bees" from South America to North America, contrary to sensational news reports, is very unlikely, according to Dr. Charles Michener who spoke Wednesday night at a biology . department tutorial lecture.

aata regarding the bees' deadlines, that many of the reported deaths were caused by wasps and native bees, and that propaganda about the bees has prompted people to incite the insects.

Tillett Plans

Soviet Union

Summer Trip Contact with the culture and

inhabitants is a good way to learn abOut a country, said Dr. Lowell Tillett in reference to his planned · study tour to the Soviet Union during the first 1976 sununer : session.

"Russian History and Culture . at the Source," sponsored by the · history department, offers students the opportunity not only to study Russian art, architecture, and music, but, more importantly in Tillett's view, provides a chance for contact and discussion with Soviet students.

Tillett said that one of the main problems for visitors to the Soviet Union is that even the alphabet differs from the English .·· alphabet, making even simple · word comparisons impossible. For this reason, the course begins with a preliminary one-week · session of reading, discussion, . and some basic vocabulary. After the opening session, the group ··. will fly to Helsinki, Finland, for a · few days, and then proceed for a week's stay in Leningrad. and Moscow.

Michener, an internationally known . insect expert who has

- studied in Brazil, believes the aggressive . bees from Latin America will migrate north, but will become more timid by the time they reach southern Texas.

If there is a problem with these bees, Michener said, it will lie in · hurting some sectors of American agriculture that rely heavily on bees for pollination. While the new bees will not be "killers," Michener said, they will still be too irritable to keep near livestock and crops. Thus, tens of billions of dollars in crops might be lost from the reduced pollination.

Tillett has restricted the course enrollment to a maximum of 15 persons, since this number allows the best price and travel arrangements. The tour's cost is approximately $1050, which covers all travel (including fare from Winston-salem), lodging, and a majority of the meals.

Any interested student may obtain further details on the tour by contacting Tillett either at home or in his office. In addition, there will be a meeting Sunday at 8 p.m. at Tillett's home, 2124 Faculty Driv~, · for all those persons desiring more information on the trip.

The reason, Michener noted, is because before reaching the United States the agressive insects will interbreed with genUe Mexican honeybees. "By the time they get here, the average citizen won't know the difference," Michener said.

Transported from Africa for their increased honey production, the fierce new strain of bees has been blamed for the deaths of hundreds .. of people and farm animalS iri'South America.

Such claims, stated the University of Kansas biologist, have been sensationalized. He

' observed that there is no reliable ·- . ~- . .. . . . . .

While the heartier African-born bee produces twice as much honey as currently used European strains, this output might not offset the loss to fanning, he said.

Though be said that he sees nothing "to keep these bees from spreading north," Michener doubts that they will ever adapt to the North Carolina climate.

The term "killer bees," Michener· said, is a label he deplores, adding that these insects may be valuable for scientific research · on pest dispersal.

It is good to see that marijuana use on campus is being largely o.verlooked: besides legalization, non-enforcement is the only sensible action to take on the matter.

Surely it is only a matter of time before marijuana is legalized. Its cost to society by virtue of its illegitimacy is far greater than its cost as a legal commodity would be. When a good demanded by the public is made illegal by the government, any opportWlities for consumer safeguards are broken down. According to Douglass North and Roger Miller in The Economics of Public Issues, if marijuana were legalized, free flow of information leading to higher quality at lower prices would be the inevitable result. As it stands now, society is paying a high price for law enforcement. Consumers are indirectly paying suppliers for taking the risks to avoid detection as well as, in many cases, ultimately paying organized crime.

Of course, the economic argument is not the only one which should be considered on the marijuana

question: the more important one is the ethical consideration of. state control. over so basic a personal decision. If the object is to protect the consumer from himself (since it is obviously a victimless crime), the government would do far better to protect him by way of allowing free information, advertising, and vigorous competition among suppliers. In this way, the consumer could be assured of high quality, thereby avoiding the dangers of acquiring a really inferior good.

There can be no justification for declaring marijuana illegal and alcohol legal. Prohibition was a dismal failure in preventing alcohol consumption and likewise, today's marijuana prohibition is bound to failure in preventing the drug's consumption. Prohibition of a good only lowers its quality and permits the criminal element to enter the supply market. The public is indicating its demand for marijuana. by virtue of its widespread use. Continued illegality is only imposing more dangers and costs than it is worth.

Political Control An interesting thing occurred this

week which brought home again the folly of having the publication budgets under Student Government control. The SG vice-president walked into our office, pointed out a factual error in an article concerning SG, and said, "And you wonder why your budget was cut?"

In all probability Mr. Ciriaco's remark was made in jest. Yet, the possibilities it carries are grim indeed. With our extensive use of freshmen and novice reporters, we are undoubtedly going to make a few mistakes. But is that a reason to subject the press to censorship via SG--financial control? We think not.

student organizations to receive our share of the activity fee through the democratic process. But publications cannot be run on this basis anymore than the student body can popularly vote on editorial policy. We'd rather take our chances with administrative financial control in which we don't have to compete in an annual popularity contest with other student groups.

There is no reason for us, as students, to present a united front to the administration if we, as writers, are not free to criticize student policies as well as administrative ones. And with a Publications Board subject to political financing, that freedom is severely threatened.

SBAC Budget Threat To Student Literature Student Government legislators and

student writers sbare one great burden in common. Both must forever justify their existence. SG . officers are generally more

Between The Lines

By RICHARD· CARLSON

vulnerable to the charge tbat they are superfluous, for they have an easily recognizible constituency which must at all times be placated. SG officers are observed for what they do and what they do not do.

The student writer's situation is similar, not because his public is defined and demandlng, but for the very opposite reason. His public is there or it is not. Maqy writers will never know for certain whether they have readers or not, or how many. The very uncertainty of his public is the challenge to his justification. For contributors to -The Student · magazine,

the demands of that challenge are relaxed. or at least ought to. be.· SG, however, hal1 invigorated the challenge, and the results can only prove hannful to the whole field of student publications. ·

The budget recommended by the student Budget Advisory Committee and passed by the. legislature will-reduce ·'1be Statlent's' budget by 42 per cent, a cutback which will severely handicap that publication; Eddie Barefoot, member of the SBAC, cited the shortage of funds as a first reason for the cutback. This argument alone does not explain the magnitude of the cutback. True, other organiultions have suffered budget reductions, but ·'The Student- bas been singled out for a cutback that is truly crippling. . .

This, argues Barefoot and the SBAC, Is because the magazine Is unpopular. In effect, the magazine must justify itself. It ia odd that no one on the SBAC or in all the legislature bas seen the irony of this. SG officers are not held in any great esteem today. But they control the budget. .

Someone once said to me thlit -"l'he Student" is presumptiious. The argtmient is

Ciriaco Letter Criticized relevant here because tbat is basically what the SBAC bas been arguing. In fact, ·Tile Student ia very preswnptuous. So ia this newspaper, and soia this column. Every one who has ever lifted a pen to write to any reader preswnes that he will have a reader.! presume that this column has ~eaders;

This university, in comparison with the majorig of. other liberal arts institutions, is characterized by a definite conservative outlook. This outlook stems from the trustees, and ia reflected in turn by the administration and the student government. In the Student Government NeWll and Campus Report of the week of 8 Feb., our SG shows us just how much of this outlook it is imbued with, in a familiar conservative pasttime-attacking the media. In its editorial section and a report by Andy Ciriaco to the SG legislature dated 3

Feb., the Campus Report goes beyond just criticism in voicing its disapproval of OG&B's commentary on the reticence of the SG toward enacting needed jusicial refonns. This commentary is labelled "character assassination" and "irresponsible journalism". Restraining my impulse to question just how much character there is to assassinate, I wonder what the SG considers as responsible journalism. Certainly editorial commentary is within the traditional framework of leg~timate journalism. Commentary Is opinion, and I have the feeling that the concensus of most (unapathetic) students is that the SG could move a little more a~tively toward securing these reforms. Of course there is the . question of deliberateness, but the year is already halfway over, and one would think that this year's SG was elected to act on, tather than simply compile data.

At the end of his report, Mr. Ciriaco makes a rather presumptuous value judgement concerning what 'is and is not freedom of speech. I'm sorry, but all I receive Is the inference that the SG considers freedom of speech (more accurately freedom of the press) on this formula;

criticism of the SG' is irresponsible; responsibility means no criticism of the SG.

If this is so, I suggest the SG needs to re-­evaluate its values regarding free speech.

Ticket Injustice

It is a shame that no one has contested the injustice of student basketball ticket pick-ups. Thank God they are over but let us be honest in assessing the inequities of this drama. They are clearly: A. some students have their friends pick up tickets for them, B. lists are often made indiscriminantly with first arrivals leaving early after starting a list in the morning and coming back much later for afternoon rollcalls, C. one person often signs

more than one name and then brings his buddies for afternoon rollcalls, D. often a person calls his friend's name during rollcall

when in fact he is not present, and E. students are not in reality forced to camp out but can leave after the last rollcall and return in the early morning •. As for possible solutions, excluding A which is not correctable: for B and C (which have unfortunately occured in 3 major rollcalls this year), a paid student (maybe $20 and a choice seat) cciuld supervise the list and b~ present all day or days for assistance and fairly frequent rollcalls. Some remedies for problem D are: 1. a person must leave the room when his or her name is called (which Is too impractical), and 2. the list system be abandoned and a line formed for a pick-up at a designated time and

place. Pr'oblem E could be solved by a half· hour warning before the last rollcall whereby before this rollcall the doors are locked in the varsity gym prohibiting anyone to leave; this rollcall would be mandatory.

Mter a most unjust, unorganized, and distasteful student ticket pi.ek-up this week

for N.C. State, I thought a tossing about of ideas might stimulate an improvement for next year. Too late maybe, but better late than never.

William T. Coleman, U.S. Secretary of Transportation, had really no choice but to permit the Anglo-French supersonic transport Concorde to begin trial flights to the United States. As a primarily political decision, Coleman had to consider more heavily the argwnents concerning the effect of his decision on our two Western European allies than the argwnents concerning the effect of the Concorde on our environment.

The environmentalists argue that the Concorde creates altogether too much noise pollution in its landing pattern, and that pollution of the stratosphere arid damage to the ozone layer may result from the exhaust spewed forth from its jet engines. These are all valid concerns. However, the political implications of an outright ban of even trial flights to the U.S. overshadow the relatively minor environmental concerns at this point in time. The trial flights to the U.S. had to be pennitted.

If the decision on the installation of trial flights of the Concorde to the U.S. was a purely domestic, environmental issue, then an outright ban of the noisier, dirtier plane would surely be justified. The benefit to a relatively small minority of users would not justify the cost, in tenns of noise and pollution, that would be incurred by the rest of our society. If the Concorde could be made less noisy and its exhaust cleaned up, as is sure to happen in later models of the plane, then the supersonic transport should be permitted to fly and sink or swim on its own economic merits.

Unfortunately, the decision to ·permit the Concorde to begin transaUantic Oi!lhts to the

would be a grave insult to our Eurpoean allies.

The proposed trial of the Concorde consists of a 16-i:nonth period, during which time four round-trip Oights per day will be made to Kennedy Airport in New York, and two round­trip flights per day will be made to the Dulles Airport, near Washington, D.C. Considering the amount of air traffic that these tWo airports have in a nonnal day of operations, the impact of the Concorde on residents near these airports will be minimal.

Hopefully the noise and pollution problems by the Concorde have been ·exaggerated by the environmentalists and the press. If not, then the Concorde can be banned after the trial period, or even at any time during the trial period on the recommendation of the Department of Transportation.

An argwnent against the Concorde based on the fact that only the rich could take advantage of supersonic Oight, as Senator Birch Bayh righteously contends, is not valid. History shows that any new teclmological

innovation was at first the plaything of the wealthy. The railroad, airplane, television, radio, and telephone are all examples of technological advances.that were at first toys of the rich but are now available to the masses. Therefore, teclmological progress, via the Concorde, should not be halted on this bams. ·

Finally, a great uproar has been aroused by the Concorde, a relatively minor issue that should not have created as much controversy as it has. Admittedly, the issue should be of great concern to our populace if hordes of supersonic transports were about to invade our airparts. Tirls, however, is not the case. The six flights per day by the Concorde out of

the many thousands of normally scheduled fli~ts in this country should not have created the furor that it has. This limited trial period which will keep our allies happy will hav~ relatively little effect on the en~ironment. The decision that William Coleman made primarily a political decision, was the only one that he could have made.

great as universities go. That Is not the fault of · The Student;- The blame must be traced to a lack of support for literary activities. Recently, student literature bas been boosted

· by resident poets and creative writing classes, and the results have encouraged the necessary optimism for student writers. It would be a shame if that optimism were to be crushed by the poverty of the central organ of student literature.

The budget will soon be appealed, not to SG but to the administration. The final irony is that after years of SG rhetoric about the repressive administration, a student organization must now seek the protection of the administration against the repressive tactics of the SG. A, far more healthy resolution might be reached if SG chooses to reconsider the budget.

To force other student organizations to take refuge in administration protection is as dangerous to SG as a budget cut is to The Student. It challenges the very justification of SG's existence.

"Desire," (Columbia PC33893) like its immediate predecessor, again evidences a resurrected Dylan. But unlike "Blood On the Tracks," "Desire" captures Dylan's emotions in a series 'of puzzling vignettes which are much less accessible than the intensely persoi¥~1 material of "Blood On the Tracks·.••

In the final analysis, Kubrick has created more of an experience than a movie. He has taken the audience on a tour of his favorite pictures and has added a story to pull them together. "Barry Lyndon" is an experience to be savored, not a story to be told.

But analyzing each indi\idual lyric is far less important than

feeling and experiencing Dylan's emotional conflicts and · exultations. "One More Cup · of Coffee,"

"Romance in Durango" and "BlackDiamond Bay" evince a nebulous cynicism, showing that Dylan is still dissatisfied with the present state of affairs in the country, but not clearly explaining why.

"Black Diamond Bay" alternates nostalgia and cynicism, seemingly hearkening back to a time when things were simple and life was pleasant. Of course, such a time never really existed, and Dylan knows it. Its up-tempo arrangement is the best on the album, and the tWle is enjoyable musically.

"Sara" comes closest to tapping Dylan's personal well of emotions, expressing Dylan's affection for his wife.

His musing on the rest of the songs is less coherent, but their pearls are worth the effort required to extract them.

"Desire" is a difficult album and probably not one of Dylan's best, yet it shows the expanding consciousness of the self-styled prophet and poet, always searching for a voice he will never possess.

Like the mystical child in the mythological love song, "Isis," Dylan is not easily understood. But the power and emotion of albums like "Desire" reward anyone who makes the effort to comprehend his music.

The Deacons of Wake Forest enjoyed one of their most relaxing evenings last Wednesday night as they blasted Davidson, 104-72. The win boosted the Deacs' record to 16-7 on the season.

After a lacklustre first half in which the Wildcats came back from a nine-point deficit to tie the game at 27-all, the Deacons exploded for a second half spree to put the game out of reach. Six Wake players scored in double figures and by the midway point of the second half, the only issues still in doubt were whether Wake Forest would pass the 100-point mark, and whether everyone in a Deacon uniform would play. The answers to both questions were yes. · The play of the Wake front line was outstanding against the Cats­Rod Griffin, Larry Harrison,

Wake Forest's Soccer Club shut out the Tar Heel Soccer Club 5-0 in Greensboro. It was the first game for both teams and the Deacons dominated both offensively and defensively. Both teams missed early opportunities until a hands penalty produced

From that point it was all Wake · Forest. Another 3 goals were scored before the game was over. Mamadou Diattara had one goal when he headed the ball into the net, • up beautifully by Juergen Tsclulmmer on a comer kick. The next goal was scored by Billarino his second of the game.

When's .• the Next RollCall? McGeachy eyes Top Prospects

. ByLANEALDERMAN . SPGrts Editor

Wake Forest held its first ticket pickup for· a basketball game three years ago, and the process for getting a good seat at a game hasn't been the same since. · In the' pre:pickUp d8ys ·back when Wake· was just another member of· the grossly wtbalanced ACC, all a student­fan had to do was show up an hour ,!>efore the game to get a seat in the coveted "section Left." For those. few big games- Carolina, state, and maybe Maryland, -the super fan would go over to Memorial COliseum three hours before gametiuie. To go earlier would have been a waste. Nobody 1else would have ever thought of going any earlier .. · As the conference .. balance

improved, however, the Deacons begim to sell out the coliseum, and to make their operation finalicially stable, . the Athletic Department decided that. they

,,neE!ded to sell any empty seats in ~lie'stucfent section. Certainly. the lOell·m.aKE~ sense. In these days of tight budgets, every empty five dollar seat is an unnecessary waste. .

The problem, however, arose from knowing which seats would be empty when the game began. The obvious solution, which was· developed by the Athletic Department and the Student Athletic Committee, was to hold a ticket pickup a week before the game. ·

When that first ticket pickup fiasco was held, it happened to Mil on what m.any felt was the cOldest day of the century. For those who don't remember- the tickets were distributed at the Coliseum, which had been locked at about one the morning before.

Hopefully, whichever system is used for ticket distribution next year will improve on this season's humerous use of the roD call. At that first pickup three years ago, the fans waiting in line were actUally forced to stay in line, and no lim was ever needed to keep the.order. As the crowds got bigger at each subsequent pickup however, the use of a list was initiated in which a student only needed to sign _up to be in line. Immediately students began to abuse ~ system, and the roD calls were initiated to keep people around w)lile they waited.

More than enough has been said over the years about recruiting battles among college coaches for high school football and basketball players. . Violations are. not infrequent and more and more schools are getting caught.

There is no doubt about it­recruiting a high school athlete is a fine art as well as sometimes controversial activity. Fortunately, while controversy has never hit Wake Forest, there are many recruiting artists on campus and one of the premier ones is assistant basketball coach Neill McGeachy.

Of course all the basketball coaches have· a hand in recruiting as well as coaching and scouting, and McGeachy, the fiery ex­coach of Duke, will be the first to tell you that. But, he has had his share of road work, "for sure, for sure."

With jusj: _hillf of its student population ·frpin North Carolina, Wake,. feeJs McGeachy, is a prime school for out of state players. He would, however, like to get about four players from North Carolina but this cannot always be done. Right now the Deacs have only five Carolina players on their roster.

But competition from th.e nwnerous N.C. schools is only one obstacle which confronts McGeachy:··,.

"The sooner you identify a player as a potential prospect," he said, "the better your chance of actually landing him. But, a recruiter is not allowed to actually speak with a player until he has finished his junior year of high school. You can write, call or talk with a coach, but you cannot speak personally with the kid.

"Coaches,'' he continued, "are allowed to see a prospect in person only 'thi-ee times while he is being recruited. For instance, I could go to as:many of the kid's games as ·I·: like and poss~blY. _ watch him in practice, but my personal contact is limited " Delastacious. "The team's

Self Actuali~ation Taught By RUTII ZUL'rNER Jacobson asks each member

Staff Writer about how they thought they coped with the previous week's problems or pleasures. A soothing voice drones on

while a small group of students close their eyes and listen, stretched out comfortably on the floor of a classroom. Mter a half an hour they get up, refreshed, alert and better able to cope with the pressures of life.

So says Samuel Jacobson, currently leading a course in "Self Actualization" for experimental college.

The primary means to relaxation in today's "negative, stressful environment," says Jacobson, is teaching the student to function on the intuitive rather than the rational level.

"We try to redirect positive behavior patterns to insure the eventual establishment of healthy, conditioned reflexes," he said.

Conditioning those· reflexes, he said, is based on the individual's conscious control of his sleep levels. Although sleep levels (the cycles per second brain wave flow as measured by an EEG) are normally thought of only in relation to the subconscious, they can also be used to describe conscious activity. :

Jacobson said that learning to move or "flux" from the active, alpha level, to levels of less activity, is the process by which relaxation is achieved. It is also the goal of the ·relaxation conditioning training that happens in class. ..

The first 30 minutes of class are spent in an informal lecture­discussion format !I!_ which

From there, the class begins its conditioning; the students stretch out on the floor: close their eyes in the semi-darkness, and listen to descriptions of settings in nature and lessons in correct breathing that are spoken by Jacobson or recorded on tape against music or other nature sounds.

After about 30 minutes of the relaxation exercise, Jacobson begins a "count-out" to bring the group back to a fully conscious state. He then asks each individual about various sensations he or she experienced during the session.

Common questions are whether the person focused or let his concentration drift from the text, whether he visualized certain colors sharply, or whether he had any distinct physical sensations.

In a recent meeting of a group that had been in training for six months, several members reported that they had been disturbed by the sowtd of an airplane. Others in the group said they had followed Jacobson through his e11tire talk without falling asleep, but had never heard the plane.

Jacobson used this example to show a common phenomena of the relaxed state: "dreaming awake," or being in both the alpha (alert) and delta (deep sleep) levels at the same time.

It is this effect, he said, that allows · for the "self

actualization" of the individual; as, through a communication between the conscious and subconscious, he grows in self· awareness.

After learning what it feels like to control the body in a more relaxed state, said Jacobson, the individual can then begin to resist the tensions from everyday problems and pressures. "I train them to develop a discipline to stay relaxed - to wipe out the tension and fatigue pattern by functioning at a more relaxed level."

More relaxed, to Jacobson, means more productive. "For . students, there's no staying up late, no taking drugs to keep awake, no panic before tests. I'm merely trying to teach them to set a pace so they don't have to live with stress."

Students who are taking the course report benefits ranging from taking less time to fall asleep at night to wtderstanding material they study.

"It's definitely contributed to a more relaxed state of mind for me," commented Howard Steele, who has been in the course six months.

Craig Shaffer, a classmate, agreed. "I transferred from another school - I was very tense. I've noticed a marked difference by now as far as being relaxed. I can tell the difference in the way I cope with everyday problems. _J\nd the positive thinking you learn reflects on everything you do."

Scott Bihl added, "It helps me wtderstand ideas better. It's

peaceful. It's nice."

Jacobson, a private consultant in relaxation techniques under medical prescription in Winston­Salem, put together his course six years ago. Calling himself a maverick in the medical profession, he has used his approach to preventative health care in speech therapy and tension problems, and has taught courses at the Y and for private groups. Three years ago he began teaching in the experimental college program here.

Acknowledging himself as the sole developer and practitioner of the self actualization technique in the U.S., he plans to docwnent his cases and write a book on his program of relaxation. Jacobson, an extremely relaxed man himself, is careful to distinguish his method from other approaches to relaxation.

"It's not TM. It's not biofeedback because we're not playing games with machines. It's also not psychoanalysis, because I don't deal with people who have psychotic problems or are on drugs.!'

Jacobson said that he never attempts to "pry into" the lives of his students or to make them discuss their personal experiences resulting from the relaxation training.

Since the program "deals with individuals on their own level and progresses from there," the course is always open to newcomers, he said. It meets every Tuesday at 8 p.m. in 223 Winston.

Lampoon Editor Speaks By JAN WARD

StaHWriter "The intent is to shock, to

pain and terror." Thus P.J. O'Rourke, executive editor of National Lampoon explains the principles and ideals that make his magazine work. .

As a speaker, O'Rourke does his best to live up to his magazine's standards. He maintains that the most reliable iaughs come from pure obscenity, and his lecture was abnost an hour of exactly that, illustrated with a slide presentation of topless women and other highlights from his magazine.

In a later interview, O'Rourke said he would define Lampoon as a combination of Mad and The Realist if put in the 1970s with lots of money.

The magazine is geared for college people, although the average reader is 22 and the magazine has a heavy high school clientele, he said. Although O'Ro_!lrke maintains that the magazine never alters itself to conform to the intellectual level of its readers, sometimes material is · omitted because it is considered too obscure.

"Writers are usually alcoholics," O'Rourke said, "but the only writers that can write drunk are good newspaper writers and Southern novelists. The advertisers can do cocaine, but they don't drink on the job. It takes a very bright person to write well; I don't think you can

deny that. Being funny is as much of a craft as upholstering an automobile; it has to be learned."

O'Rourke does not encourage students to go into writing as a profession because good jobs are virtually non-existent without years of experience and seniority. The freelance market, except in teclmical writing, is practically fruitless, and unsolicited manuscripts "are never read by anyone who speaks English," although the Lampoon receives 80-100 a day, he said.

Most of the Lampoon's staff have only lasted two to five years without going crazy and having to be replaced, although it is possible that they were crazy all along, he said. "You are never for a moment allowed to say anything serious," but the office is not the den of humor one might expect, he said.

O'Rourke gives himself one or two more years at Lampoon before moving on. He has been with the magazine since 1973.

O'Rourke provided an insight into his own character commenting, "Demo derby is the most exciting thing I've ever done including sex and drugs. I love breaking things.

National Lampoon was developed from Harvard Lampoon and has expanded to a now defunct radio show and a stage show, "The Lemmings," which included many staff members now with the television

LARGE SELECTION OF

series "Saturday Night." O'Rourke believes that National Lampoon has too many projects and that it could not do anything with TV due to the censorship of the medium. An upcoming movie is in the planning stages which O'Rourke said will be based around an early '60s frat house ..

O'Rourke has little interest in other comedians, citing Tom Lear and Monte Python as the only ones he can appreciate when he gets ho~ from the office at night.

O'Rourke opened his lecture by lighting a cigarette in direct defiance to the no smoking announcement only seconds earlier. He said, "Somebody's got to stand for anarchy around here."

O'Rourke implied in his lecture that the videotape from '~Lemmings" was not being shown due to censorship and that be was speaking in Reynolda lounge instead of Wait Chapel because his materiRl had been deemed unsuitable for a church. However, Director of Student Activities Dave Robertson said that the videotape had been found unworthy of its cost by the student in charge of videotape programs for College Union and that the lectur.e was in Reynolda to provide a. more informal, intimate atmosphere for a diScussion period afterwards.

Nigerian Novelist To Speak Here

Chinua Achebe, Nigerian novelist, will read from some of his books at 8 p.m. Thursday at Reynolda House.

The program is sponsored by the English department's Writers

Like his three succeeding novels, it deals with conflicts between traditional African and intrusive European

cultures. His book of verse, Beware Soul·

Brother and Other Poems, won the Commonwealth Poetry Prize in England, He also has written short story collections, children's books, and a .book of essays, Mornlng Yet on Creation Day, which was published last year.
