Liberal Appropriation Move
Draws Conflicting Reactions
Liberal party's plans for a state and campus campaign to gain support for President
Eric A. Walker's request for a $23 million appropriation from the state legislature has drawn
mixed reactions from the other two campus political parties.
Dennis Eisman, former vice chairman of Campus party, said it is "surprising that
they'll do something that they once condemned as unfeasible." He was referring to the fall
Australian Author
Describes Antarctica
Imagine how it would look outside if the snow on campus
did not melt and accumulated year after year for 15 million
years. This would then resemble Antarctica!
John M. Bechervaise, Australian author, explorer and
lecturer described the conditions in Antarctica in his lecture
"Men on Ice" Tuesday night in
Sparks.
The Antarctica is the coldest,
highest and windiest continent on
earth, Bechervaise said. The tem
perature may often go down to
114 degrees below zero in the in
terior.
The reason for this extreme
cold is a combination of three
phenomena: the rays of light hit
the earth at a low angle be
cause of the high latitude, the
snow reflects heat and heat es
capess easily because of the high
elevation.
There is no vegetation or life in
Antarctica except for the pen
guins. The penguins there are the
most beautiful in the world and
may even weigh up to 90 pounds,
Bechervaise said. Imagine looking
a penguin right in the eye.
Bechervaise illustrated his lec
ture with slides that he took
while in Mawson, Antarctica, in
1957 the International Geo
physical Year. In that year many
nations set up bases in Antarc
tica, and Bechervaise said, there
was "absolute international co
operation for the first time." One
picture he showed to display the
"international flavor" was a joint
British, Norwegian and Ameri
can ceremony to celebrate the
opening of the American base on
Antarctica.
The men on the expeditions
lived and worked in huts made
of plastic as dry air is the best
known insulator. "We cut our
own water," Bechervaise said.
This is because no liquid
remains without freezing in
Antarctica.
In a movie "Address Antarctica,"
other phases of life and explora
tion in Antarctica were shown,
such as the men skiing, skating
and playing golf on the ice.
Bechervaise told, in his conclu
sion, of an occasion when the
Russians came to visit his group
on Mawson from their nearby
base. As they were descending
the ladder from their airplane
they asked, "Have you a sledge?
We bear gifts." This, said Becher
vaise, reminded him exactly of
the Trojans and Helen of Troy.

All tickets have been sold
for the Merce Cunningham
and Company performance to
be given at 8:30 Saturday eve
ning in Schwab.
Appearing with Cunningham
will be John Cage and David Tu
dor, noted musicians,
Tudor is known as America's
"far-out" pianist. He spends half
of each year in Europe where his
performances are a major part
of the musical avant-garde.
Tudor does not, however,
limit himself to the paino key
board but produces fantastic '
noises on the strings and con
struction of the piano as well.
John Cage, composer and musi
cal director of the Cunningham
Company, is noted for the "pre=
pared piano" which he invented in
the thirties.
His most recent recording is of
concert percussion music which
features the pioneer work of sev
eral composers including Cage
himself.
At the present time, Cage is a
Fellow in the Center for Ad
vanced Studies at Wesleyan Uni
versity in Connecticut.
The Cunningham Company will
entertain with three "sets" of
dance sketches: Suite for Five,
Crises, and Antic Meet.

election campaign in which his
party advocated contacting offi
cials in Harrisburg to gain action
on affairs affecting students.
Liberal party is now circulat
ing petitions to be sent to legis
lators.in Harrisburg.
Eisman claimed that Liberal
party is using his party's fall
campaign platform and now
"purports it to be their own."
He said that Campus party as
semblymen will introduce their
own plan at tonight's SGA As
sembly meeting.
The present plan Liberal par
' ty is using to stir up interest in
the issue does not make it easy
enough for students to act, ac
cording to Eisman. He said a
stronger method would be to
coordinate the campaign .under
student government with form
letters to the governor and leg
islators drawn up by SGA for
the use of students.
University party chairman,
Michael Lazorchak, commended
Liberal party for its plan and ad
mitted "they jumped the gun on
us."
Lazorchak said he had tried
to contact Wayne Ulsh (Liberal
' Jr.) to offer the help of Univer
sity party members for the cam
paign. "We would canvass dor
mitories or do anything else to
aid them in carrying out their
plan," Lazorchak said.
He added he thought the cam
paign was a fine idea and is bad
ly needed to stimulate student
interest in the appropriation is
sue.
Liberal party members will be
in the Hetzel Union today circu
lating the petition they plan to
send to Harrisburg.

she had been given permission
through the coordinator, Mrs.
Leiper, to handle such situations.
Commenting on the problem,
Marion Davison, assistant to the
dean of women, stated that the
senior resident must have the
power to act in such a situation,
as, she felt, a problem of this
nature, detrimental to so many
people, cannot be put off until
the next meeting of the student
judicial board.
"Staff members must have
some control over their residence
areas," she said.
Dorothy J. Lipp, dean of wom
en, was out of town and unavail
able for comment.
