Facing Problems
Significant problems have faced this campus
during the past semester. We have braved the
perils of theDowChemical recruiters, and the
controversies over marijuana and student
rights.
But what leadership has our student govern¬
ment shown during this time?
Student President Michael Case contends
that there was really nothing to the Dow dem¬
onstration. They only became a "big thing" be¬
cause of the coverage -in the Daily Collegian.
We suggest Mr. Case see what this nothing¬
ness turned into on other campuses.
Has our student president revealed his feel¬
ings in the marijuana controversy? He did ac¬
cept the invitation to participate in the ill-
fated pot parley, but he hurriedly made it
known to those making arrangements that he
knew little on the subject.
We suggest Mr. Case learn something of
one of the subjects most talked about by his
constituents.
Student rights are currently being discussed
by two bodies on campus — the Student Senate
and the Student Affairs Committee.
The Student Senate has been extremely in¬
terested in Students' Rights. Most senators
were so interested that they hadn't read their
copies of the proposed draft by the time the
discussions began. DS

I would be very Interested ln
knowing what sources of lntor-
maUon Robert Mezey has drawn
upon to Justify his statements,
as printed on Wednesday, Jan.
10 ln this paper, concerning Uie
relaUonshlp of parents to their
chUdren.
The statement Itself seems a
generality to say Uie least. If
lt was made strictly to arouse
controversy I could understand

man has done a grave InJusUce

PHIL
OUTSIDE OK A SMALL CIRCLE OF FRIENDS . . . there really
are no words to decorate the art of a poet who dyes his mind in music
and makes il sing and dance to the meter or humanity's joys and fol¬
lies. PHIL OCHS is a poet who has stretched his art beyond the ac¬
cepted limitations of the industry of recorded sound. What PHIL
OCHS has created is a movie without pictures. Sec it in Ihe nearest
drive-in (which is your own mind).
But outside of the small circle of friends is a large rhomboid embracing
most of Ihe people of the world who are waiting for friendship, pray¬
ing to belong, aching for comfort. PHIL OCHS' album "PLEASURES
OF THE HARBOR" is like Ihe coming of a Dawn-it is not an An¬
swer, but it offers the opportunity of an Awakening.
The album "PLEASURES OF THE HARBOR" (and the songs within
its tracks; "Outside of a Small Circle or Friends" ts one) is tossed into
the rhomboid in the hope that a few more minds may be spun inside
the small circle of friends and, thus, the circle may be enlarged.

"THE PLEASURE OF THE HARBOR"
ALBUM INCLUDES: Cross My Heart, Flower Lady,
Outside Of A Small Circle Of Friends, I've Had Her,
