Muskie Criticizes Vietnamization,
Seeks Total Pullout by Year'sEnd
RICHARD KELMFNSOf-
DELIVERING A CONNAISSANCE- SPONSORED speech Tuesday night
in the Palestra. Sen. Edmund Muskie. <D-Me.|, called Vietnamization a policy,"
the "perpetuates the illusion of ultimate military victory."
By MARK McINTYRE
Denouncing President Nixon's
Vietnamization program as '"the
wrong plan" to extricate U.S. forces
from Indochina, Sen. Edmund
Muskie, (D-Me.), in a Tuesday night
speech at the Palestra, called for total
withdrawal of American troops from
South Vietnam by the end of this year.
In a Connaissance-sponsored
address, Muskie, a prime contender
for the 1972 Democratic presidential
nomination, said, "A foreign policy
which cannot be presented honestly to
the American people does not deserve
their support."
Establishing a firm stand in opposition to Nixon's policies in Vietnam, Muskie declared that the
President will take no new initiatives
at the Paris peace talks. 'All that is
left ...is Vietnamization," which "is
not the answer" because it only
•perpetuates the illusion of ultimate
military victory," the Maine
Democrat commented.
"I am convinced that for the right
policy we must look-not toward
Vietnamization, but rather toward the
peace negotiations and toward
creating the conditions for peace," he
added.
After the U.S. fixes a deadline for
the withdrawal of all its troops.
Muskie said, peace talks could
achieve the release of American
prisoners-of-war and the safe
departure of U.S. troops stationed in
South Vietnam.
Muskie declared his support for the
McGovern-Hatfield amendment and
its establishment of a deadline of
December 31,1971 for total American
troop withdrawal from Southeast
Asia.
Through Vietnamization President
Nixon has indicated that U.S. troop
strength in Vietnam will be reduced to
284.000 by May of this year. Nixon's
recent withdrawals have proceeded at
a rate of 12,000 soldiers per month. If
implemented, the McGovern-Hatfield
amendment would nearly triple this
rate-to a level of 35,5000 per monthfor the last eight months of this year.
Speaking before an estimated
audience of 4,000 persons, comprised
mostly of University students, Muskie
criticized the recent U.S. airsupported invasion of I^aos. "Once
again, this administration has
minimized the risks and exaggerated
the benefits of a new military adventure. Whatever the apparent or
illusory short-term military gains,
this action has resulted in a substantial extension of our military
involvement and has further un-
Niebanck Accepts Position
As Commissioner in HEW
Dr. Paul Niebanck, associate professor and
former chairman of the University's city
planning department, has been appointed as
the Department of Health, Education and Welfare^ ( HEW) Deputy Commissioner for Community Development.
The 37-year-old. housing and urban redevelopment specialist is taking a year and
one-half leave of absence from the University,
effective March 1, to assume his new position

office serves to "balance" and "check" HEW
programs. 'Our charge," the bearded professor remarked, "is to cause the programs
that come through HEW to be more responsive
to the people. We attempt to make these programs more responsive to people."
"Our main responsibility," he continued,
"is to cause conflicting and potentially
cooperative units to come together and work
out their differences, so that the delivery of
service can be more responsive to the people's

dermined the Paris talks," he
charged.
Adding that the Nixon Administration will learn that "it cannot
embargo the truth," Muskie further
expressed his dissatisfaction with the
news blackout that blanketed Northwest/South Vietnam before the
allied I^otian campaign began.
In participating in peace
negotiations, the trim, taut Democrat
warned that there are limitations on
what can be achieved through that
forum. "Only the Vietnamese can
settle their political differences," he
said. "...This war is essentially a war
fought among the Vietnamese people
for political ends. And therein lies a
lesson of this tragedy. We cannot
substitute our will and our political
system for theirs."
Concluding his address, Muskie
urged his unresponsive audience that
moderately applauded him three
times to "exert responsible public
pressure upon the executive branch
for an American commitment to
complete withdrawal before 1972" and
to support initiatives in Congress
toward that goal.
In a telegram sent to Connaissance
and read before his address, Muskie
stated he was unaware that the
(Continued on pane 2)
needs at the delivery point."
I^ast February, Niebanck became the focus
of a heated controversy, when he resigned
from the chairmanship of the city planning
department. His resignation catalyzed a student
drive to boycott city planning classes -an
effort which was halted only by a faculty decision to implement certain structural reforms
previously prepared by Niebanck.
Niebanck's own action was precipitated by
what he termed the department faculty's resistance "to the winds of change'-specifically
its refusal to appoint a "radical" professor
to a three year assistant professorship. He
commented at that time that he felt he could no
longer be "effective" as department chairman
and was therefore resigning. Niebanck's acceptance of the HEW appointment appears to
have been spawned by similar sentiments.
"For me at this moment," Niebanck asserted in an interview Tuesday, "given my life
stvie. the kind of person I am. and my ideological perspective, I think I'm going to be more
effective there than here."

Complaining about a work
overload, poor working conditions,
and the University's refusal to help
with promotions and salary increases,
the secretary pool of the School of
Social Work has called for a one-day
walk out beginning this morning.
One member of the staff said that
the five secretaries have been "airing
their grievances" since last September, but that the school's administration has ignored them
completely. She noted that today's
effort would be an attempt to show the
business administration as well as the
dean that they are "serious in
demanding better working conditions."
Miss Emilie Boyle, another
member of the staff,.asserted that the
faculty and students have already
been notified and "are behind us 100
per cent." Miss Boyle said that
"nothing has been done in the past and
we don't really expect that anything
will be done now." She added that the
secretaries had met with the school's
executive committee last summer in
order to explain the situation but that
those efforts proved fruitless.
John S. Morgan, dean of the school,
said Tuesday night that he agreed
with the grievances of the clerical
staff in that "the salaries are not
among the best and it is one of the
least organized staffs." He noted that
secretaries are sometimes forced to
look outside of the University if the
positions they seek by promotion are
already filled. Morgan added that the
executive committee which heard
their problems in September was

"very interested." but that it is
"simply not our department." Cases
of this kind are usually handled by the
personnel department.
One statement, circulated to the
administration, charged that there
has been an increased work load
without any wage increases. The
document went on to state some other
demands, including
—abolishment of the pool system,
which is termed a "failure."

U. Council Meeting
The University Council will meet today in special session to further consider the pressing issue of the size of next year's freshman class.
The admissions report of a Council committee had been on the agenda of the
Feb. 10 Council meeting, but insufficient time and the introduction of a
substitute proposal forced postponement of action on the class size controversy.
The substitute proposal, a resolution submitted by College freshman Eric
Fisher, suggesting that the enrollment for the class of 1975 not exceed 1,830
students, which was the target for the present freshman class.
Fisher's proposal was originally offered as an amendment to the admissions
committee report, but it was ruled an alternative proposal and will therefore
considered as such at today's meeting.
The Council Committee on Undergraduate Admissions and Financial Aid
proposed that within certain financial aid limitations "a freshman class as
large as 1,900 students may be enrolled . . . with no diminution of academic
excellence over past years if the admission process emphasizes academic
excellence as specified in existing admissions policy, and if the applicant pool
is not significantly poorer than in past years."

paid for out of student general fees,
and therefore declared he would not
accept any such fee from his sponsors.
Questioned before and after his
address, Muskie said:
-That he opposes the legalization
of marijuana, but favors reduction of
penalties for the possession of the
drug.
-That ne approves of therapeutic
abortions, but cannot support
unlimited abortions because of his
religious beliefs.
-That he believes the "big
powers" cannot impose a settlement
in the Middle East, and that the
Jarring talks are the only present
means available to settle the conflict.
-That national guidelines should
be established to reform the present
inequities existing in the operation of
local draft boards.
Asked if he would dismiss Federal
Bureau of Investigations director J.
Edgar Hoover, if elected President in
1972, Muskie replied, "I'm not a

added later, "I'm not interested in the

However, the committee also
stated that since the applicant
pool for the class of 1975 is
"significantly smaller than last
year, a smaller freshman class
should be enrolled ... if the
average academic quality of this
smaller pool is not better than last
year."
Any action by the Council on
the matter of incoming class size
will be, at least, advisory, since
the actual decision is made by a
Presidential staff conference. The
selection process for next year's
matriculants is already well
under way.
Fisher further recommends
in his three part resolution that
the admissions staff "make every
effort to enroll a class whose
academic quality is at least equal
to the class of 1974." The committee on admissions should, he
said, "review all admissions in
each of the undergraduate schools
which would tend to yield a class
in that school larger than the
freshman class matriculated in
the fall of 1970."
The freshman Council member
said his proposal, if adopted,
would represent a statement by
the University
community
"saying we don't want a larger
freshman class."
Proponents of the admissions
committee report argue that in
regard to the size and quality of
incoming classes, a smaller applicant pool could be compensated
for by improved selection criteria.
The admissions committee
recommended that there be no
increase in the number of students
accepted into the College and
College for Women. It suggested
that the proposed increase be
distributed among the Wharton,
Engineering, Allied Medical
Professions (SAMP) and Nursing
Schools.
The chief administrators in
three of these schools all agreed
Tuesday that their respective
schools could easily accommodate
the proposed increases.
However, both the vice-dean of
the Wharton School, Frederick
Kempin and Dr. Sidney Rodenberg. dean of SAMP explained
that the effect of increased class
sizes in their schools is felt
strongly in the departments and
courses of the College and College
for Women.
Ellen Weber, a student
member of the Council, said
Tuesday, whe strongly objects to
increasing the size of the freshman class because "no matter
which schools students apply to or
which majors they expect tc
concentrate in, undergraduates
will inevitable take the more
popular courses in the departments which are already overcrowded."

The Community Mailing Service: Computers are for the People
By LINDA STEINER
rhe usual stereotype firmly dictates that computers are dangerous
and evil, businesses are immoral, and
that businessmen are a breed totally
and cynically exploitative.
Bob Bair has evidently set out to
reject and disprove the "capitalist
pattern" and to form a corporation
using computers entirely "devoted to
community use and service."
On the assumption that a mailing
list is the crucial life-blood to any
group dependent on contributions,
Bair instituted the Community
Mailing Service, which utilizes a
computer to store the names on the
mailing list, and keep the list up-todate. Furthermore, with this information, Bair's organization prints
and cuts up labels, bundles, and sends
out the various pieces of literature,
newsletters and pleas for money
injured children, A Quaker Action
Group (AQAG), Central Committee
for Conscientious Objectors (CCO),
the "biggest, oldest and undoubtedly
the best draft counselling service," A
Citizen's Organization for a Sane
World (SANE), American Friends
Service Committee, and the Medical
Community for Human Rights.
Several religious groups also draw on
The Mailing Service facilities, as well
as a radical, "graduate-type," nonaccredited school, Pendle Hill.
Bair dropped out of the University's PhD computer
science
program two years ago feeling mai
"there was more important stuff to do
and that this was a logical time to do
it." He first worked for A Quaker
Action Group on an island off Puerto
Rico, which the Navy was using as a
target site. Bair said that after three
months "it became clear that a lot of
the work of any community, nonprofit group concerns the mailing list.
AQAG needed three people full-time
just to keep track of their people, a
mobile segment of the population."
Computers to remove drudgery
Consequently Bair spent one year
designing a lengthy, complex
program, using the computer to
remove some of the drudgery, "taking
care of the mechanics, leaving the
groups enough time to be creative."
Bair added that using a computer for
such a community purpose - "unlike
the establishment" - in itself was
"kind of neat."
The computer now stores information on over 100,000 people. Not
only does it list name, address and
group affiliation, but also each person's particular interest, occupation,
and amounts of active support in
terms of time and money. Thus
groups are able to petition selectively: for instance a group can send a
mailing just to those specificallyinterested in pollution and who have
not contributed in the last year.
Moreover, the Community Mailing
Service maintains the list, adding or
subtracting names, changing addresses.
Bair admitted that changes have
been made since the original conception of the program to incorporate
unforseen needs and problems. As an
example Bair mentioned the problem
of bundling mail to qualify for bulk
rete. Bair said thai, the "capitalists
would employ 12 people at minimum
wage, girls of course." Bair, however,
reworked his program so that it would
print out the labels by zip code, cutting the time for bundling in half. Bair
asserted, "Our trade-off is not what is
cheapest; we will try to avoid exploitation."
JACK STEIN
BOB BAIR
which these client groups print.
Bair stipulates without exception
that he will only serve non-profit
organizations which are actively
working for community improvement
and benefit. "We don't work with
messes that can afford the prices
of 'straight places' and that are
closed societies.' " The groups we
help absolutely depend on their
mailing list as a support base, for
personal, active involvement and
financial aid," Bair explained.
Bair claimed that presently twelve
organizations use the Community
Mailing Service, among them
Philadelphia
Resistence,
the
Philadelphia branch of the Committee
on Responsibility, which helps war-
Alternative styles in business
Bair claimed that if anyone is
exploited, it is his own workers,
voluntarily, who pay themselves
only minimal wages. Bair said that in
charging about $9.00 per thousand
names for labels and bundling, his
firm charges about half that of his
"capitalist competitors." Bair, who
will speak tonight in a panel
discussion about alternative styles in
business, said that "logically, and by
necessity, we are trying alternatives
in
living, just as we are experimenting with business." Three of
the four working for the Service are
living in a commune.
Another experiment now being
conducted by the group is the merging
of two business models: workers'
partnership and the consumers'
cooperative. Bair stated that "when
we take over a group's mailing list, it
is like being married to them, we are
involved with them, they are
dependent on us." Therefore, all the
clients have representatives on the
board of direc^prs and all the workers
also serve on the board of directors.
Gettysburg College graduate Ernie
Fuller, one of the three others working
with Bair, was employed once as an
assistant buyer for Brooks Brothers,
but besides that, the group claims no
business experience. Bair said that
occasionally
some
business
knowledge would obviously have
come in handy, but that "a lot of usual
business theory and goals doesn't
apply here - like their notions of
management/ labor relations.
Knowledge of group dynamics and
sensitivity training is considerably
more important."
Even without the business
education, Bair said the Service is
doing well, and that enough groups
have discovered their facilities by
"word-of mouth," to make commercial advertising unnecessary. On
the other hand, Bair admitted that the
group is now well enough organized
that they could handle twice as many
group mailing lists.
Bair expressed deep appreciation
for the cooperation of the University
City Science Center, with whose
computer Bair's terminal is hooked
up; Bair characterized the Center as
"a very fine place to work." The
Community Mailing Service has two
DATAL terminals at their 3525
I.ancaster Street office, one which
page three
types out "orders" to the University
computer, another which can store
information on tape temporarily. The
Service also owns a $10,000 Cheshire
machine, which cuts up between 6,000
and 7,500 labels an hour, (the two
numbers accounting for the difference
of actual and .alleged figures) and
then glues them to envelopes.
Bucknell graduate Bair said that
considering the personal involvement,
loans, and responsibilities developed
in the group, his interest in the
Community Mailing Service is permanent. Bair explained that his
revolutionary political orientation has
shifted since working with the mailing
lists, and that although he still wants
to "see great change, I see it as long,
range." Bair described his business
as providing real service, important
facilities, to the community, although
it is not all as glamorous as
february 24,1971
"demonstrating, rioting, getting
arrested or imprisoned, being at the
front line." Bair asserted that
"although there are other computer
services in the capitalist world, this is
a unique process of raising money and
support for non-profit groups; this is
the most advanced computer
program of its kind." Moreover, Bair
acknowledged that

Editor's Note
During the past week, a series of
articles on the role and status of women
in the University have appeared on the
editorial page of The Daily Pennsylvanian.
Written by members of President Meyerson's rask Force on Women and other
concerned women throughout the University,
the articles have included general critiques
and analyses of the problems faced by
women as well as specific discussions of
rtially affiliated women, graduate students, the nursing school, women on committees,
and
non-academic
female
emplo\ ees.
While the articles themselves presented
much significant information and discussion, the editor's notes of explanation
preceeding the articles provided a further
insight to the problems of women. Fully
half of the six articles -- written by
female graduate students, professors, and
employees -- were printed anonymously
at the request of their authors. The reason
for the request was most certainly not a
reluctance to accept responsibility for the
articles; rather it was a very real fear
of retribution if their identity were revealed.
Whether this fear is totally justified is
difficult to ascertain; rumors persist that
outspoken women have already been subject
to pressures. But in any event, the fact
that this fear persists is as much an
indication of the severity of the problems
women face and which the University must
confront and solve as the figures and
accusation presented on these pages in the
past week.
Editor's note: The author is
employed at the University's Sex
Counseling Center.
Since the liberalization of the New
York abortion laws, commercial
abortion referral agencies have
sprung up in New York and
surrounding states. A source of
dispute from the beginning, these
agencies are now being investigated
by the NY. State Attorney General.
At hearings last week, witness after
witness testified about the excessive
and often misrepresented fees
charged by these services. The
agencies, which set up appointments
for abortions at clinics and hospitals,
often tell the client that its fee for
referral is $10 to $25 whereas, in
reality, the agency pockets up to $160
of the total fee for the abortion
(usually $225 and upwards). Although
many agencies advertise as information centers, they frequently act
as funnels to one or two hospitals or
clinics from which they get a feedback
through an informal agreement.
The DP has been taking advertisements from various ugeaciva
without checking their credentials.
One Philadelphia agency that advertises every day,the Abortion
Referral Service, typifies what is
wrong with the present set-up. The
ARS is run by two Temple students,
and staffed by undergraduates.
Everyone who calls there gets a
different story as to abortion costs,
the 'philanthropic" aims of the ARS
etc - especially depending upon who
you say you are. Moreover, common
sense would dictate finding out for
sure that one is pregnant before
setting up an appointment for an
abortion. However, the ARS glosses
over this, and will rarely mention the
wisdom of a pregnancy test and pelvic
exam. If the patient herself suggests
having one, the ARS counselor will tell
her she can if she wants; it really
doesn't matter as she will get one in
N.Y. As a result, the client is often

Health Food Rip-Off
At
Ith Street there is a shop
called Poods for Health, Inc., which I
have seen advertised in the DP. It is
owned and operated by Dr. Pershing
Newman. He serves health food shops
in Philadelphia, New Jersey, New
York, and as far away as Connecticut.
Everywhere business in picking up,
partly a result of an inflation-inspired
search for nutritional powerhouses
partly as a step away from
heavily processed foods such as sold
in supermarkets. The enterprise is,
like the industry it serves, growing.

'HOW DO I

•BECAUSE DOCTOR NEWMAN
> SO."
Doc Newman is described in the
booklet as a dedicated health food
advocate, scientist, lecturer and
educator who has been bringing more
nutrition to devotees for nearly 20
years The fact is that he is a failed
chiropractor who, after knocking
himself out for 12 vears in a one-room
health foods shop & salad bar, finally
saw the potential market for
wholesale health foods. The business
began operating several years ago
entirely out of the small store he still
operates on 20th St. Thre was only one
other employee then who made up the
orders & delivered them while Doc
tended the salad bar & bided his time.
Today he has two locations, nearly a
dozen employees and is eagerly
looking for a larger warehouse. This
lovely Horatio Algeresque tale is
disturbed by some alarming flaws,
however.
Good help is hard to find,
especially when the work is taking all
those pesky Chiquita banana labels off
before shipping out these newlygenerated "organically produced"
bananas. There are other nuisances
too, like the time one of us forgot to
repack the oranges, & an entire
shipment went out bearing the Sunkist
ink-mark still clear on the orangedyed skin. What was worse was the
insecticide treated packing paper that
•protects" the fruit while on its 2-4
week stay in some forlorn warehouse
somewhere on its way to your
stomach had been overlooked also.
The grape strike was in its third
year when workers at Doc Newman's
were hacking with cursing razors at
the most stubborn labels of all, those
on the crates of California table
grapes. They were transformed at
Newman's Foods for Health
warehouse into "organic" grapes just
the way the pig growers had turned

SPECTER RAPPED
the grapes into money through the
sweat of the workers.
None of us liked it. We knew it was
sham, and no wonder we started
calling the place Foods for Wealth.
Doc had thousands of large plastic
bags
printed:
ORGANIC
CALIFORNIA CARROTS 251bs. He
paid the men at the food distribution
center in South Philly extra to deliver
our carrots in these attractive lying
sacks. The only complication was that
they would only use them inside out,
for it was illegal for them to
misrepresent the same carrots sold to
supermarkets and neighborhood
grocery ripoffs as organic. The inside
out bags absolved them of the
responsibility legally, but Doc's
customers still thought they were
buying organically grown produce.
Th? same labeling was paid for by
Doc for other products like the
•'organically fed chickens, no
chemicals added." The Bureau of
Licensing & Inspections men came to
check those out for weight. It had to be
written in a certain place, a certain
way, a certain size before the
chickens could be sold. But the I-&I
men apparently sent to protect the
public did not care that they were
weighing out lies.
So listen. I took a long time to
expose this fraud, (I quit last May)
but after all, like I tried to point out.

good vibrations.
protest from the audience.
Although Specter did, as the article
says, reply "that he had been satisfied
with the doctor's testimony," I must
point out that this answers neither
part of my question. I pointed this out
to Specter at least twice, stressing
that he still had not told me WHY he
never asked for an explanation or
WHY he falsely indicated he had to
the press. Finally, Specter dropped
the entire question.
If you would look into the record of
Specter's performance for the Warren
Commission contrasted with what he
has told the press about it, you would
find (as I have through four years of
research) that he is, at best, consistent in never telling the truth or the
whole truth. My question was but one
example.
I believe we must seriously
question the integrity of public officials with such a record. At least we
must not allow them to escape
severely critical questions pertaining
to that record so they may possibly
defend themselves or correct the
record. This has been my attitude
toward Mr. Specter, with whom I hav
spoken on other occasions.
However. I felt it important that
your readers know, as they could not
from the article, a little about the
nature of Mr. Specter's work for the
Warren Commission and how he
"answers" questions about it today.
Sir: The 2/ 22/ 71 issue of the Daily
Pennsylvanian carried an article
describing Arlen Specter's appearance at the C.A. "Lunch Rap,"
including, among others, a question
pertaining to Mr. Specter's performance as a staff lawyer for the
Warren Commission. As the student
who posed this question, I was particularly dismayed that
the
taraphrases included in the article
did not convey the essence of my
question or. for that matter, the obvious fact that Mr. Specter never
responded.
If, as the article indicated, it was
thought that my "charge" was only of
Mr. Specter's "negligence," it would
seem my question was not understood. Mr. Specter was told by the
chief autopsy surgeon at the Kennedy
autopsy (Dr. Humes) that the first
written draft of the autopsy report
not a "draft card" as the article
asserts* was destroyed by burning.
Specter never asked the one essential
question: "Why?" Yet, he later told a
leading news magazine that Dr.
Humes had fully explained why he
burned the original written autopsyreport after revising it. This is a
falsehood known best to none-other
than Arlen Specter for it waslje whii
"neglected" to ask for an explanation
of that suspicion evoking burning.
My question was two-fold: Why
had Specter never asked for an explanation of the burning and why did
he later imply (falsely) that he had?
You might have included the fact
that Mr. Specter first declined to
answer my question altogether until
forced to do so by numerous shouts of

psyched into going to N.Y. for an
abortion without having first found
out if, in fact, she needs one. And, as
any physician will testify, many
women who think they are pregnant
can actually worry their menstrual
period into being quite late, thus
giving a false impression of
pregnancy.
The ARS has its own particular
arrangement which is very interesting. In a separate ad, under a
different telephone number, the ARS
advertises free pregnancy tests. Upon
calling that number, you are first
asked if you want an abortion, and
only after pressing, can you find out
where to go for a free test. The ARS
abortion number will not even suggest
utilizing their own pregnancy testing
service.
The point is that although the
abortions arranged are legal, many of
the agencies offer low quality services, characterized by consumer
fraud and improper medical ethics.
The agencies are brokers for a
medical service, and make their
fortunes by exploiting the ignorance
of women. Although many prominent
professionals advise outlawing the
commercial agencies, the referral
services meet a need which the nonprofit alternative unfortunately
cannot fulfill as long as they lack
funds and exposure. Planned
Parenthood in New York, and the
Clergy Consultation Services (CCS)
are presently incapable of meeting
the demand. At Penn, the Penn
Sexuality Center can also put you in
touch with someone who can help.
Other than contacting one's own
doctor, the CCS is the best place in
Philadelphia to go for abortion
counseling. After dialing the CCS
phone number, the woman arranges
for an appointment with a clergyman,
and is told she must bring a
physician's statement of the length of
her pregnancy. The clergyman will
not moralize, preach, etc, but will
explore with the woman all the options
available to her. She will then choose,
without any coercion, the course of
action she wishes to pursue. If she is
financially able, an abortion will cost
$150 - if she cannot afford that, a nonprofit foundation will aid her in
making up the difference. The purpose of the CCS is to insure that every
woman, regardless of age, race,
religion, economic status, etc., has the
right of choice. The clergymen
volunteer their services in order to
give whatever support and aid they
can. As any qualified pregnancy
counselor should, each clergyman
knows all the facts about abortion,
prenatal care facilities, adoption,
insurance coverage, and medical
procedures. Until a better system of
pregnancy counseling and abortion
referral is set up, to protect themselves women must become sufficiently informed to demand that
other sources deliver the same quality
service as the CCS.

Leary Forsakes Drugs
By United Press International
SAN FRANCISCO - Dr. Timothy
Leary, appearing at Eldridge
Cleaver's side in a video tape interview shown here Tuesday, said he
has settled his differences with the
Black Panthers and now agrees that
•tripping" on drugs is incorrect
behavior for a revolutionary.
•There is a time to expand and a
time to contract," said the one-time
high priest of the American drug
culture. "This is the time to tighten
up, organize."
I^ary and Cleaver, the Black
Panthers' Information Minister, are
both living in exile in Algeria as
fugitives from prosecution in the
United States. Cleaver last month
condemned hallucinatory drugs as
"madness" and said he had ordered
I^eary "busted" and held under virtual house arrest.
The interview was conducted in
Algeria Feb. 12 by Glen Angell, a 27year-old San Francisco documentary
film maker. Excerpts were shown on
KQED, San Francisco's
public
television outlet.
The 57-minute tape, made in
Cleaver's flat in Algiers, consisted of
a free-form policy discussion on the
role of drugs in the "revolution" in
America.
Leary agreed with Cleaver that the
time is ripe for young radicals to quit
drugs and follow the "correct way" of
Weathermen and Panthers.
Leary, who escaped from a
California prison where he was serving time on a marijuana conviction,
said the breach between him and the
Panthers had been mended.
In January, Panther members had
put the former Harvard instructor
and his wife Rosemary under
"protection" because of Leary's past
advocacy and use of LSD and other
hallucinatory drugs.
Leary said he was now under "no
coercion" by the Panthers and told
Geaver, "we're here voluntarily with
you."
Cleaver said, "The people who are
walking around seeking liberation
through drugs are hallucinatory
revolutionaries .. I don't think they
are helping us."
"I want people to stop being
spectators to the destruction of their
fellow comrades."

Meeting
(Continued from page I)
Edward B. Shils, professor of industry, will moderate the panel.
Representing the "conservative"
side of business will be Gallagher, Mr.
Dudley said. He added that Gallagher
will be able to "shoot down ideas he
thinks are naive from the standpoint
of business."
A representative of the more
liberal view of business will be Bair,
who has appliedthe techniques of big
business for a counter-cultural
career, the bearded dean said.
Dudley explained that Bair used
his technical knowledge of computers
to set up a non-profit mailing service
.for community-oriented groups. He
added that the service, which does the
mailing for 12 national peace
organizations, uses University
computers.
Mr. Dudley commented that Baird
terms his service, "A worker's partnership
and
a
consumer's
cooperative." He said that the
workers, all four of whom have access
to decision-making, live in communes
in order to keep their expenses down
and continue as a non-profit service.
Besides these two speakers,
Dudley noted that Whitlock will
discuss the problems and rewards of
"Blacks working their way up;" while
Barbara Freeman, who has now
returned to Wharton for an advanced
degree, will discuss the role of women
in business.
In addition, Cordoni, the dean said,
is a "person with very liberal views,
whose job it is to mediate conflicts
between employee and boss" will
discuss "how far up one can go with
views that are extremely liberal."
Bass will discuss the way community
medicine relates to industry.
He added that the main problems
to be considered at the forum will be
the "conflict between the values of
many students on campus and the
values implicit in the jobs that will be
available to most of them." The forum
will be held tonight at 7:30 in the
rooftop lounge of High Rise South.
(Continued from page 1)
—the establishment of a grievance
panel where "future problems can be
directed,"
—a more responsive attitude on the
part of the administration to keep
good secretaries and to promptly fill
sudden vacancies, and
—promotion requests of already
"qualified" personnel be "processed
as soon as possible."
The
pool
system
places
secretaries' desks in one location.
Another statement issued by the
secretarial staff, defining its position,
stated that "the female clerical
employee, even though she is
acknowledged as being essential to
the successful functioning of the
entire University, is the most exploited member of this 'community'."
The document also asserted that a
secretary "should be a part of the
- 'community of scholars'," and that
she should be more involved in the
decision making-process and not be
"totally excluded" from a say on
"relevant policy changes."
The group, which at this time is not
involved in any union membership,
readily admitted that "its position
regarding promotions, transfers,
salary increases, etc. is completely
contingent upon its boss."
Morgan also asserted that
secretaries who seek promotions as a
tightly-knitted group have less of a
chance than those who operate on an
individual basis. He added though that
he wished that "they could do better
for them."
One spokesman for the group
contended that "probably nothing will
be done." If the demands proposed by
the clerical staff are ignored,
it is planning to bring the matter
before the School's executive committee and eventually to the office of
the Equal Opportunity coordinator,
James Robinson.

Niebanck Appointed to HEW
(Continued from page I)
"In academic life," the Johns
Hopkins graduate continued, "if you
step out ahead you get isolatedparticularly when you step out of line
in substantive matters dealing with
how the institution is run. And it is
seldom," the youthful city planner
remarked," that a person can step out
of line and not become isolated and
then not become ineffective."
Niebanck further explained that he
has lost a lot of "leverage" and "influence" at the University because
"stands that I have taken were considered at the margin of respectability."
"I wanted to see fairly substantial
changes in the education practices in
the department," the popular
professor noted, "I wanted to get
students more involved in the decision
making process. But then what
happens? Some members of the
faculty and administration see this as
a 'disruptive' act and I am labelled a
destructive man."
Niebanck stressed however that
these charges were not "sour
grapes." This institution," he
asserted, "is not amenable to solving
problems within itself. It can only
rarely face an engagement with the
issues. And they can only get away
with this because students are here
for such a short period of time." This
is not my style," Niebanck emphasized. "I am an engager who tries
to find the best solution for all
people."
This desire to "engage" to a large
degree precipitated Niebanck's
decision to work in Washington.
"People who have a broadly
humanistic base have resisted joining
the Nixon administration...there is
therefore a lack of this kind of person," Niebanck contended. We've
only got one system, we've only got
one administration. One can't sit
around on his ass and talk rhetoric
forever...You've got to engage and
engagement is what I am for."
Niebanck said he is "very happy
about having this opportunity," and is
not "unhappy" about temporarily
leaving the University.
"It's been a very happy experience
by and large," he concluded. "I'm not
walking away....I'm only going on
leave. I don't have the same position
of leverage I once did and I see certain
writings on the wall that aren't very
promising."
Britton Harris, chairman of the
city planning department, noted that
Niebanck's appointment is a "great
recognition of his abilities and interests. It is a temporary loss to the
department and we hope to find a
distinguished visiting professor to
replace him." ,
One city planning student contacted Tuesday asserted that students
in the department were "very
disappointed"
by
Niebanck's
departure. "He's the most popular
instructor in the department," the
student remarked, "and we're very
unhappy with the rest of the faculty.
They are for the most part obstinate
and uncreative. All I can say is that
Paul's decision is a big disappointment to all of us."
Brinjac
(Continued from page 6)
Although he's seen little of the new program rjecause of baseball, Brinjac is
pleased with Gamble's command of the situation: "As a head coach, I'm pleased
with him. He's running the whole show and his assistants understand this."
Although it's too early to conjecture whether or not Brinjac can move in on the
starting lineup and succeed as Pancho Micir did in a parallel situation, the
repetition of last year's sequence is unlikely. As Washington puts it, "I respect
John and he respects me. We're going to have a healthy football team."

important factor in his win.

Schedule Hampers Penn in Polls
_
Talented Billingslea Aims to Play
A Different Tune on Hardcourt
Bv JOHN WERTHEIMER
Penn was up, 92-58, with about
seven minutes left, against Harvard
Friday night, and the action on the
court was nothing more than a weak
Crimson attempt to get a good shot in
the face of the Quakers' tough
defense. Suddenly, a roar went up
from the south stands of the Palestra,
which is where the Red and Blue fans
sit. Puzzling'.'
Only until you looked at the Penn
bench and saw that Dick Harter
sending Ron Billingslea into the
game.
The 6-4 junior is by far the most
popular of the Earthquakers; the fans
have more than once started "We
want Ron" cheers to break the
boredom of another Penn rout. He
thinks the reaction is "due to the fact
that I usually do something right
away to spark the team, like get an
offensive rebound, or some play that
would lift the team."
He didn't disappoint Friday,
although he waited six minutes before
taking Penn's tally from 97 to 101 with
one of his patented followups and a
pair of free throws. Saturday was no
different, with Billingslea soaring in
to register the 100th - Mnt against
Dartmount on a follow. "I remember
last year I also scored the 100th point
against Harvard," he added. "It feels
good to push the team over a hump.
The fans anticipate it and you get a
certain pleasure from it."
Just being on that bench and being
able to come in gives Ron a certain
pleasure. "You get a great deal of
satisfaction from being on a team like
this," he noted. However after two
years of being a ninth or tenth man he
admits. "You think in the back of your

mind how it would have been to go
somewhere else.
"But not while you're active," he
maintains. "We (the Earthquakers)
are 100 percent part of the team."
Billingslea's had his entire
organized career in the same neighborhood, having graduated from West
Catholic High. Behind Penn, his next
choice was St. Joseph's, where he
would probably have been a starter
the last fifty games. "What hurts you
most." he says, "is not to be playing
when you walk into the Palestra.
When 9000 people are in the stands
screaming you kind of hope, you
would be out there playing."
Harter thinks he will be next year.
"It's been tough for him, being from
Philly, but he'll get his playing time
next year. He's going to have his
nights out there and no one will
deserve them more."
"Ron has a super-tough attitude. I
couldn't hire a better guy as an
assistant coach," expects him to be
the top frontcourt reserve in the 197172 campaign. Ron, already a forward
and center, has expressed a desire to
learn to play guard. He explains, "I'd
like to be in a position to play
everywhere. Our team will have a lot
of versatility and it wouldn't hurt me
any to be able to play over."
On the court isn't the only place
Corky Calhoun's roommate is versatile. Billingslea is currently involved in forays into art, music, and
writing.
He's been keeping a journal of the
season for the last two months. "I
write about things that happen" he
says. "It's like keeping the story of the
season from an Earthquakers's point
of view. I started about Christmas
time. With no schoolwork I got bored
so I started writing."
He started playing the flute less
recently, about a year ago. "I've
always had a deep interest in music,"
Billingslea commented. "I've always
liked flute music and last year was the
first opportunity to get into it - a
friend got me one at the right price.
It's something I could have taken up
earlier."
He prefers the "folksy blues type"
of music and hasn't found it necessary
to take any lessons. "I can play along
with just about any thing. We get
together and just play what comes
into our heads."
All of which might help explain
why he's also spontaneous on the
basketball court.

Although confident, Breea refused
to discount the possibility of an interesting meet. "They have one good
NCAA's last year."
But after all this discussion, the final question that must be asked is whether
Penn coach Dick Harter really cares if his team is tabbed number one by the
polls.
"To be ranked high is a very pleasing experience, but it's a very minor part of
my job," the Quaker mentor stated. "My job is to win every game we possibly
can. Five years from now they won't remember whether February 15 we were
ranked number four, but what our overall record was for the season."
Does anyone remember that Kentucky was the pollsters' number one choice
backsfroker and a good sprinter," he
continued, "so when we start switching guys around the competition

Penn's wrestling squad (4-4) has
been plagued by a rash of poor luck
recently, and things are not expected
to improve this afternoon when the
Hed and Blue square off with a strong
Temple quad in Mcgonigle Hall.
For today's meet, coach Larry
I,auchle has tabbed soph Dave Stehman for his first start in the 190-pound
slot, while moving the starters in the
142 to 190 pound divisions down one
weight class. "We want to give the
wrestlers a chance to compete at the
weights at which they will be
wrestling during next month's
tournament," was Lauchle's explanation.
._ .
a Brown-Yaie weeKena at home caused mild excitement because it meant the
Quakers had a good chance of breaking even.
Penn enthusiasts are getting less embarrassed at shouting phrases of praise
for tl eir cagers, but they may be wasting their breath. Unless something unbeliefaole happens (like would you believe UCLA. Marquette, and USC all losing
at least two games in the final weeks of the season), the chances that the Quakers
will ever be number one are slight.
"Penn could be ranked number one in the nation," USC coach Bob Boyd
rambled, "particularly if it were the only major undefeated team as opposed to a
Marquette. which is also right there, or a reputation of UCLA, or, in fact. USC's
new reputation in basketball.
"Pennsylvania's chance of doing it though are not as good because of the
schedule it plays." the Trojan mentor continued. T think the Big Five is a fine
hotbed of basketball, but the Ivy League is just not as highly regarded throughout
the country. As you compare relative strengths of schedules I think Penn has a
disadvantage."
"Penn has to have a fine basketball team," commented UCLA skipper John
Wooden, "and not because of the polls, but because it has a winning situation. I
know that teams make more of an all-out effort to knock you out and they feel
they have everything to gain and nothing to lose by playing you and destroying
your winning streak.
"But the reason that Penn would have a hard time ever being chosen as
number one by the pol Is, it's generally felt, is that their schedule is not nearly as
strong as the teams ahead of them."
The schedule is something the Quakers will just have to live with. The
weakness of the Ivies this season is surprising, since great things were expected
from all the potentially fine sophs coming up that just haven't met fruition. But as
long as the Red and Blue stay in the loop they are obliged to play 14 Ancient Eight
contests. Add to that four Big Five games, and there aren't many dates open to
schedule other teams.
Penn tried to toughen up the schedule this season by traveling to Ohio
State and Big Ten country. Next campaign they have booked Duke (an ACC
squad that is near and dear to Fred Shabel). Western Kentucky (minus Jim
McDaniels), and they'll travel to Rochester. N.Y., to play in the Kodak Classic
against, for one. Boyd's USC five.
The lack of strength creedence of the Ivies is one reason that Big Eight leader
Kansas has been closing in on the Quakers' number four spot lately. "Kansas
could move ahead of Penn." Boyd stated, "especially if Penn were to lose a
game, or if Penn were to have a close game at home while Kansas had an impressive win. If Penn stays undefeated, I don't see how Kansas can catch them."
Another thing that the Red and Blue don't have yet which the pollsters like is a
basketball reputation. The loss to Niagara in the first round of the NCAA tourney
last year didn't help. "It was a surprise to me that Niagara upset Penn."
