Due to of the business of remedial education. the long, pitched battle over the propriety and applicability of remedial education in an However, the commitment the University made to these students when they were institution of higher learning, most other faculty and staff have been exposed to the brunt admitted precludes not attempting to educate them to the best of the University's ability. of the problem, which is this: Too many students know too little. Arata does believe, however, that high schools now are waging at the freshman level a more concerted effort to instill in students compentency in the traditional "3 r's." Many students admitted to MSU fail to pass admittance tests in english, mathematics "We need to gear up and continue to handle this problem for at least three or four more and algebra and must take classes to make up for their deficiencies.

"This document is so complex that it is best handled in its entirety," declared Ralph Taggart, member of the Academic Council, when the remedial education document was put before the council in January. "Let's not split this up and beat it to death item by item." Unfortunately, that is exactly what seemed to happen. Six months after the document was approved, Taggart once again talked about the remedial education problem and the Academic Council's approval of the guidelines.

They want the ocean without the roar ofiti many wateri. William Lloyd Garrison By KIM SHANAHAN State News Staff Writer At one time at MSU, blacks — both students and faculty — recognized the necessity of agitation. That time has long passed both in years and in spirit. But memories of commitment linger on in the minds of blacks who were here on April 28,1969, or heard of the day from older brothers and sisters. The cry from black student leaders who missed those times is: Where have those days gone? Why the apathy? In a very convoluted sense, Walter Adams, distinguished professor of economics and president of MSU on that fateful day, holds the answer to these seemingly rhetorical questions. For it was Adams who dealt with the "race issue" when it manifested itself in a three day seige of Wilson Hall Cafeteria by black students protesting cafeteria hiring and advancement prejudices. It was also Adams who pushed for blacks to be allowed admittance to the MSU cheerleading squad and who saw two blacks join the squad for the first time in 1969. It. was Adams who forced the all-white Athletic Council to accept black mathematics professor Irvin Vance as a council member. It was Adams who nominated and stood behind then "militant" Robert L. Green as the director of the Center for Urban Affairs. Later Green was to be named dean of the College of Urban Development. A decade later, these actions on the part of Adams seem almost patronizingly honky — like what any good "white liberal" would do. But it wasn't so easy for Adams. In 1969, the president did things no other administrator in his position would have even considered doing. For his part in settling the Wilson Hall takeover, Adams absorbed a barrage of criticism from many quarters — including the Detroit News and the MSU trustees for, as Adams recalls, "selling out to blacks" and granting black student demands at the expense of "due process". For his part in supporting Green's nomination — Green was very outspoken during the Wilson Hall incident — Adams was accused by people, especially the faculty council, of stirring up trouble where it didn't need to be stirred. Green, in the eyes of his more conservative faculty peers, spoke and acted more like H. Rap Brown or Stokely Carmichael than a distinguished MSU professor. It is quite possible that Adams himself, however innocently and inadvertantly, is the cause of the pervasive black apathy that exists today at MSU. If someone else had been at the helm of MSU in those nine months, these paltry concessions might not have come for years. Adams took the wind out of MSU's black movement by giving more than was demanded and giving with a sense righteous indignation toward the conditions of MSU's blacks, coupled with a self-effacing sort of humility. In 1969, black students occupied Wilson Hall Cafeteria in protest over hiring aid advancement practices. When Adams turned over the reins to Clifton R. Wharton Jr. in 1970, the black movement at MSU was over. In its time, it might have been the most solidified, effective have useful effects in some cases, but apparently only rarely among University one of five blacks on the Committee of 16 — a committee set up in 1968 by "concerned" may black movement on any campus in the nation.

The implications of this phenomenon manifest themselves in the structure of the While black students have found apathy the biggest obstacle to black development, black faculty tenure stream system. "But we made the gains in enrollment we were seeking, we had special programs faculty have failed to even acknowledge it as a problem. "All advancement for faculty members is up to deans and department heads, and the started and we did see anti discrimination grievance procedures set up," Cade added.

Cade says there is no question. But the days are long gone from when an angry Robert Green stated ominously: "In the "I have no doubts whatsoever about the prejudices that exist among the faculty," he lives and educations. future — and this is a warning — when racism exists in any component of this University, Cade acknowledged the administration has at least paid lip service to equal opportunity declared.

"Beating of feet, weighted handcuffs, insertion of electric cosh or bottle into rectum, and placing a prisoner on an electric grill which is then heated" are several oft-practiced reforms documented by Amnesty International. MSU has established international programs with each of these men. who embody their respective nations. Dean of International Studies Ralph Smuckler maintains that these ties help "people in developing countries to improve their own lives and the conditions of the societies around them."

This Year's Breed of Political By DAVID M19IAL0WSKI Animal State New, SUB Writer "The good of man must be the end of politics." Aristotle observed in some ancient, undocumented spasm of idealism. All well and good, but for most of us it is alarmingly easy to concur with Machiavellie, the ultimate cynic, who wrote "Politics have no relation to Morals." And while most politicians would steadfastly deny this allegation, the record is not so kind to America's putative "statesmen." The political animal is not a beast of prey, slyly and viciously practicing manifold deceptions and evasions to advance its own interest. Not quite that, anyway. But the public's idealistic, naive perception of its leaders has (fortunately) yet to be salvaged from the wreckage of Watergate, and many now believe that politicians are nothing more than amoral beasts, vicious and utterly devoid of scruples - like pack of a junkyard dogs. True, politicians are very much like dogs, and they do travel in packs — but, like dogs, and like all animals, their main interest is in survival. Call it expediency, if you will, or self-interest. The political animal survives and perpetuates its species by exchanging long-term benefit for short-term interest. This year's breed of political animal - a year in which a slew of Michigan prizes, including the governor's chair and a seat in the Senate are up for grabs is different. - no In Michigan and all across the nation, the political beast is stirring. At the grass roots, analysts have pegged the public mood as "conservative'But, unlike the prehistoric brontasaurus, so ponderous and so large that fire on its tail would not register as pain in its brain for several damaging minutes, this year's political animal adapts to its changing environment with chameleonic swiftness. Nineteen seventy-eight's potential governors, senators and representatives, here in Michigan and elaewhere, will be for tax cuts. They will favor limits, either legal moral or ones, on government spending. They will pay careful attention to precarious human rights of aggrieved Russian dissidents, but will demur from commenting the plight of on homeless, penniless, jobless ghetto youth - clients of the widely disparaged "welfare state." This year's political animal, like an emaciated, frightened dog, will on occassion be especially cutthroat and bloodthirsty with its own kind. The smart money will be with those candidates who freely insult the office they wish to hold, who are quick to condemn fellow politicians as subservient peons in a vast, impervious governmental Xanadu. Those on the oulsde"wishing to get m will posture as anti-Washington, anti-Lansing, and the like. Those on the miide wishing to stay in will also portray themselves as anti Washington and anti-Lansing - while maintaining that they, personally, have not become allies of the hated "system." Too, the species this year is influenced, perhaps to a greater degree than ever before, by special interest lobbyists. The malsdy is both pervasive snd growing. In Washington, the two-party system has virtually broken down, with Republicans supporting President Carter in greater numbers on some crucial issues than his fellow Democrats. The same holda true, to a lesser extent, In Lansing and other state capitals.

The pornography business, for example, doesn't measure profits in thousands of dollars, but tens of thousands, and the end does not seem to be in sight. There are three theaters in Lansing that show explicit hardcore pornographic films, about five bookstores that sell sexually explicit materials and a pseudo massage parlor that offers sensual stimulation for a price. The theaters ore open long hours, about fourteen average per day, and the admis¬ sion cost averages about $6. The president of the company, American Amusement Inc., that owns two of those theaters — Cinema-X and The New Art — refused to discuss their profits or attend¬ ance figures. A spokesperson for the Pussycat theatre refused to give information on their prof¬ its, saying the information is confidential. Despite the inherent similarity between the films shown at each theater, The Cinema-X Is the unrefuted place of pornographic films — self proclaimed as "the largest and most complete adult entertainment complex in the Midwest." The "X" features in one of its two theaters exotic dancers performing in various stages of undress, five times daily. They have a game room with pool tables, along with topless models who can be recruited to play pool and various other games. Also available are shoeshines that can be bought and performed by either topless or nude models. "When I started managing the Cinema-X it was making $150 a day," said Gail / Palmer, 23, former manager of the theater and producer of the X-rated film "Hot Summer in the City." ,I continued on page 20) / An evening at the 'ultimate'—Cinema By DANIEL HILBERT State New.

Its facilities are used to train students and conduct research, and two nights per month it opens its doors to the public for an open house and some telescope viewing. The observatory houses a computer-operated 24-inch reflecting telescope, which aims itself and analyzes data automatically. The telescope is used to measure the light from distant stars, which can then be spectrum-analyzed to deter¬ mine its size, temperature, and chemical makeup. Cameras attached to the telescope are used to photograph stellar phenomena for permanent records. MSU's other link with the heavens is Abrams Planetarium, located on Shaw Lane between the Chemistry Building and Shaw Hall. Abrams is more than merely an educational facility. In addition to its Spitz planetarium projector, Abrams also has sophisticated optical equipment for light shows and an incredible audio system. Almost every weekend the planetarium holds a public show of some sort, and these are usually fascinating, often spectacular, and always highly informative. These shows take many forms. One of the more recent ones for example, wa.; called "The Last Question." It dealt with the question of what might happen when entropy runs its course and the universe finally runs down. It was a striking multi-media presentation — well-written and thought-provoking, too. A long time favorite at the planetarium was the annual A.R.C. show. These were small-scale concerts in which the Genesis/Pink Floyd-ish rock band Full Moon Consort was pitted against a barrage of lights, slides, lasers and effects in a truly breathtaking performance. In addition, with the use of the dome ceiling and some extra equipment, the audience would suddently find itself listening to a rock concert in the midst of a howling rainstorm (complete with thunder, lightning and rain). Difficulties in procuring a band forced the cancellation of this year's A.R.C.

Michigan That's entertainment... Entertainment opportunities abound at MSU. Not only the kind of entertainment which motivates you to do nothing more than watch, but the kind of activities and recreation which make you want to get up and participate. At MSU and in the Lan¬ sing-East Lansing area there are concerts and festivals, music and dance, light shows and sound shows, radio and television, G-rated and X-rated movies. Much of the above is offered directly by or through MSU, much more of it generates from off- campus groups and interests, but perhaps the greatest part of all comes from you — the student. Every one has different tastes, ranging from the mundane to the wildly inventive, and here at MSU you will have the opportunity to exercise your particular brand of insanity to the fullest. So keep your five senses open. Watch and listen. Taste, touch and feel. Participate and enjoy.

The inherent freedom in age and circumstance is a tremendous responsibility in college which Bowers interprets as a time for making mistakes and shaping priorities. Defining oneself as a sexual adult can be "exciting and frightening and worrisome." she said, as relationships take on more significance and break-ups become more traumatic. "We hear lots of snide remarks about first loves, but they are very special," she said. "It hurts like hell when they don't turn out to be the answer to a prayer." Relationships need not be romantic to cause sparks. "Sometimes the support — or lack of it — from a friendly roommate makes the difference between survival and failure the first year." Bowers noted. Third-term freshman Linda's experiences substantiate the claim. She loved living in Landon Hall and had no problems making the personal adjustment to college, she said, yet she "damn near left because my roommate was such a hassle." Linda had requested anon-smoking roommate but ended up with a smoker who read her mail, rifled through her things and depended on her mother's complaining phone call to keep Linda in line. "She was the youngest and the only girl in her family." Linda recalled, "and she couldn't adjust to not having her own room and her own way." They lived together all fall term before a switch was made with the help of the RA and the housing advisor. Linda had no further complaints with freshman life. RA Cynthia Robinson said the newcomers "don't take to the idea of being tripled. "I tell them to try to be kind and remember that it is just a temporary situation," she said. Exposure to differing social, political and religious attitudes can cause troubling times in the process of forming a new self identity, Bowers said. ...... ★★★★★★★★★a-* 4 SCIENCE FICTION 4 4 MYSTERIES 4 Bought C Sold ^ 4 Curious Book Shop 4 4 4 ★★★★★★★★★★★ hmi HYFUMBLE FARECHANGE?

Eldon Nonnamaker, vice president for student affairs and services has not yet approved the policv, but savs he probably will soon. The committee. Oliaro ex¬ plained, was influenced by State News articles published in Feb¬ ruary examining MSU's alcohol policy. Oliaro said the changes are being made in the policy to eliminate "any of the potential conflicts" with state law. The new policy will put the responsibility for adhering to laws and drinking sensibly on the individual person attending the party along with those who act as sponsors. "The staff will deal with behavioral problems like fights or arguments, but the legal and personal responsibility will be on the organizers and partici¬ pants." he said. Parties still have to be regis¬ tered with a resident advisor in the specific dormitory, and the state laws have to be explained. Whether or not the new policy will have any effect on problem drinkers is hard to say. It will take time to test the effect of the policy both on returning students and new freshmen.

SMAB serves as a source of funds for alternative student NO WAY OUT? publications to the State News. The organization provides the funding for smaller, more specialized media. In addition to the student board, Programming Board and SMAB, ASMSU also has a judicial branch. RHAJ Each dormitory has the option of having its own judiciary, but the body which watches over the residence hall regulations is the Residence Hall Association Judiciary - RHAJ. RHAJ justices are chosen from RHA representatives to serve for one year terms. AUSJ If an appeal is deemed necessary after RHAJ makes a decision a defendant can take the case to the next higher judiciary - the All University Student Judiciary or AUSJ. Usually, AUSJ is also the first step for campus-wide matters as opposed to violating dormitory regulations. AUSJ is the second most powerful judiciary at MSU and consists of 11 student judges recommended by previous AUSJ members and appointed by the ASMSU Student Board for one year terms. An adviser from the staff of the vice president of student affairs also serves on the primarily student judiciary. SFJ If an appeal is desired after AUSJ makes a decision, the defendant would take the matter before the most powerful campus judiciary — Student Faculty Judiciary or SFJ. Not only docs SFJ handle all appeals from lesser judiciaries it also hears all cases involving violations of student regulations. If the defendant is not satisfied with the decision of SFJ, the next and final step is to take the matter to the office of Eldon Nonnamaker, vice president for student affairs. COGS Graduate students have a separate governmental body called the Council of Graduate Students — COGS. A representative from each of the 76 graduate departments is elected, selected or appointed to serve on COGS. COGS doles out funds collected from each graduate student during every registration — $1.50 per student per term — to graduate organizations or departments. The graduate student organization also provides such services to its constituents as use of the office copy machine for a small fee and day care scholarships for students with children. COGS serves as the reporting center for all graduate representatives on the many University-wide committees. The current president of COGS is Chuck Goeke. The COGS president is elected from the representatives of the council. Student Council Academic Council, the only government body on campus that deals solely with academic and administrative policy, is made up of Appointed Council — the deans of each MSU college — Faculty like Council and Student Council. Student political maze can trap you a rat Representatives for Student Council are elected, selected or appointed from each college as well as six graduate students, elected from COGS, also serve on the council. •Off Campus Council — OCC — which represents all off campus If a college has more than 2,000 students enrolled, two Bv MICHELLE CHAMBERS The current RHA president is Tim VanAntwerp. students. undergraduate representatives are elected, selected or appointed.
