FIRST THEY CAME FOR THE JEWS
AND I SAID NOTHING BECAUSE I WAS A GENTILE
NEXT THEY CAME FOR THE CATHOLICS
AND I DID NOTHING FOR I WAS A PROTESTANT
THEN THEY CAME FOR THE PROFESSORS
AND I DID NOTHING BECAUSE I AM NOT AN INTELLECTUAL
...AND THEN THEY CAME FOR ME...

from the north bank
-Maple delta and cruise
first port-of-call Is Marie
"mender's. This Isle of domestic delight stands only a few knots off shore,
'J* darkest backwaters of campus. Tbe
irehetectura! motif is Early Home.
The lulldlng is a large-scale reproduction of the cottage in Wisconsin
Intablted by Dick and Jane's grandmother. The structure reminds the Captain of the domestic comforts- he abandoned In order to sail the great sea
at learning.
The appeal Is simple but profound:
: wilt them to feed me and give me
cbeer This they will do. Unlike
Orandman,  they  will  not  tuck you In.
|7we* «"t«il f
I of the Shaw-Mar.
Tbey win, however, throw you oat if   '
you become loud, profane, or abusive.
These things do not go on at Home,
at least not since brother Eddy Joined
the Army.
MThls  might  well  be  Where   It  Is.
arie Caneuder*s reminds so many
lonesome  sailors  of their borne
ports  that it to hard to find an
empty berth at which to secure the
Indulgence.    After a skillful docking,
I leave orders with toe crew.
"Ensign LeCoque, fetch two galley
wenches to go ashore with as. Dress
tbem modestly bat well. Lieutenant
Lusch, as first mate you will remain
on ship as master In my place. An
deserters and boarders wUl be bung.",.
Once ashore, we four walk quickly''
toward the entrance to this culinary
cottage. Maybe Grandma ls visiting and
has something warm to the oven. We
are Instinctively lured to suckle at the
intoxicating teat of Mother Marie and
eat at her bounteous table.
The hostesses who greet us wear
floor-length dresses and puff-sleeved
blouses of pleasing orange and peaceful
white. These lasses are the sisters I
never had. I expect tbem all to clap
flo-r from their hands as tbey emerge
smiling from tbe kitchen, glad tbat
Pve finally arrived.
"Captain KeUy for four," I say with
the commanding voice that sends hardened Beamen scurrying across the deck.
" Certainly, sir. Denlse will seat you
Immediately"
We follow Denlse to a large round
table near a wall decorated with
obsolete kitchen implements, many
of which are sOU In use on the Indulgence. AU the tables are made of
hard polished wood and every Inch of
wall and calling space is occupied by a
cute antique nlc-nak. Captain Callender
obviously runs a tight ship.
"Win you send a bar wench?" I
request maglsterlaUy.
"Certainly, sir," replies the hostess
officiously.        .
officiously.        ^-
" Captain," whispers Ensign LeCoque
after the lass has left, "1 am constantly
In awe of tbe way you command act-
Ion with your very tone and presence."
"An lndlspcnslble quality ri leader
ship," I advise tbe young officer.
"What shall we eat, Captain""' asks
the  plainer ot  tbe  two galley girls.
"We shall all sample something different, and we wUl try to choose from
every price range on the menu. Where's
the grog?"
"I*U see to it, sir," cries Ensign
LeCoque dashing off to find a bar wench.
In his absence I amuse the girls with
several tales of high adventure and
carefree larks on previous voyages of
tbe Indulgence.
Tbe Ensign returns with a flagon
and we prepare to give our orders.
The scuUery maids who serve us were
surely,hired by Ma Callender herself.
Each has bright eyes, a clean tace,
and hair In a bun.
Perhaps one or several of them could
meet me and few of my able-bodied
men for a wee stroll along the shore
near the Jetty after Ma has gone to
bed, tbe kitchen has been cleaned, and Pop
has been into the jug.
As Captain, I order first from the high
price range, then the others choose
according to rank.   I also lead the
parade to the salad bar, where I a
disappointed to find tbat I can fin my
plate only once. The salad Ingredients
are both fresh and varied, bat the
Captain would prefer either a larger
plate or return privileges.
The re-paostb-Utiea of command sap
one's caloric cargo, and the hold must
be refined frequently.
We finish the meal after one more
call for grog and I ask for comments
from the crew.
"I would have liked more salad, too."
said tbe prettier of the galley girls,
"but on the whole the portions seemed
fair. In tact, they put too much melted
cheese an the vegetable plate. Mom
was a little heavy-handed, too," she
continued wlstfuUy.
"The soup was quite good," said the
other girl, who had emptied a tankard
of it, "especially with cornbread and
honey butter to dip with."
She no doubt knows her cornbread,
this robust, but firm, wench who never
hesitates   to help hoist tbe anchor if
we fan short-handed aboard the Indul-

Blackout ends
1977 project
A campus-wide electric power
shutdown Wednesday, March 22
culminated a $2,796,190 Utilities,
1977 project, aeewd_ng to Marvin B. Wampler, executive dean.
The b-tekout was doe to the
Installation of a 12 kflovolt switch whlehflnished the replacement
of dilapidated Pacific Gas and
BUetric (PG-.E) electrical
transformers by ones owned by
the state, Wampler said. Tbe
project also Included an addition
to the central chiller plant and
the hook-up of new ca
ers were replaced because tbey
were to poor condition and
(PG&E) wasn't interested in restoring tbem.
Also, be said, replacement was
more economical because the
state would no longer have to
pay rent to the utility company
for tbe equipment.
Currently a request for 5557,-
000 ls in toe governor's budget
for toe Ut_m_es, 1978 project.
This project would consist primarily of hooklng-up the new
Library addition to the chlUer
