Bond urges blacks
to set up electorate
By JIM BAKER
Collegian Staff Writer
Julian Bond, in a speech Saturday
night in Rec Hall. called upon blacks to
"band together" and form an effective
voting electorate so that they could move
to correct the social problems which
plague blacks.
Bond began his talk by pointing out
that there are only 1,800 black elected
officials in the United States anti that
their number is slowly increasing.
He said he was elected to office prin
cipally by black people since "white peo
ple, in general, have not yet learned to
separate the man from the race."
Describing the conditions most blacks
suffer under, he said, "They live in what
most whites call a,ghetto. what they call
a neighborhood, are cheated by merch
ants, both black and white, mistreated by
police, both black and white , . , some
live on welfare, which means they are
barely alive, while the government—that
gives them welfare—tells farmers not to By 808 YUSKAVAGE

Betty Friedan cites 'sex ropes '
as obstacles to women ' s lib
By KAREN CARNABUCCI
Collegian Copy Editor
The true enemy of women's liber
ation is not men but the institutions of
society which.keep women from assert
ing their womanhood, Betty Friedan,
women's rights advocate, told an au
dience in Rec Hall Friday night.
"We can't he humanly sexually
liberated until we do the larger busi
ness of liberating women and men from
their sex roles," explained Mrs. Frie
dan, the first speaker of Colloquy '7l.
Mrs. Friedan, whose 1963 book,
"The Feminine Mystique," initiated the
women's rights movement, called wom
en's liberation the "most basic, biggest
and fastest growing" movement which
hopes to effect change p in "every insti
tution of our society.

who have 55 per cent of the voting
power, to fill state and local offices
with 50 per cent women, maintaining
that the movement "has to become
political."
Majority, Not Minority
"It is urgent to get on with it,"
she said, "Things cannot stay as they
are," adding that the feminist move
ment is a "majority, not a minority
movement."
Mrs. Friedan. founder and former
president of the National Organization
for Women, said the nationwide wom
en's political caucus, which she is
helping to form, will go outside parties
"to elect women and finally to have
their voice in politics. "We are not
talking about some remote happening."

It has to happen now."
She spoke favorably of the Wom
en's Strike for Equality last Aug. 26,
which she helped organize, saying that
"more women acted together than have
ever acted before in any time or place,"
noting that the women's protest crossed
lines of "class. generation and politics,"
and included secretaries, suburban ma
trons, women in their eighties and
"a few token women from the execu
tive offices."
Mysteriously Fulfilled
The revolt against the "feminine
mystique" an idea that women were
mysteriously fulfilled through ways
different than men 'was due to hap
pen whether she had written "The
Feminine Mystique" or not, Mrs. Frie
dan said. She said the dissatisfaction
was felt by millions of women, each
one thinking she was a freak, each one
thinking she was alone, and wanting
to be a person."
The emptiness, she explained,
"comes from not having a determining
influence in life," and having no justi
fication for life left after the children
are grown.
"The new consciousness demands
that it be an inalienable human right
to control the body," Mrs. Friedan said,
adding that the abortion laws in the
state should be repealed. Anatomy is
not destiny when a won-tan can control
her childbearing years and has so many
years to live beyond them, she said,
No War
Repeating that women's liberation
is "not a war of women against men,
not a war against sex, not a war against
children or childbearing," Mrs. Friedan
said for a v,-oman to be equal to a man
there must be a restructuring of
"every institution in society" which has
perpetrated the inferiority of women
and the superiority of men.
"The biological nature of women is
real," she emphasized. "These realities
make this revolution one that no man
can escape." She added that men also

they will go to The Student Bookstore

to their recent picketing of the Tele

are prisoners in this society, prisoners
of a "masculine mystique" which
makes "every man feel inadequate."
"Men have begun to rebel by the
hundreds, by the thousands against the
masculine mystique." she said, looking
to the day when a man doesn't have
to have "big muscles, wear a crew cut,
be sadistic, or to kill to be a man."
Dominant And Sadistic
She said a man should be able to
say "I don't have to be dominant and
sadistic to prove that I'm 'a man. I
can even cry. and I'm a man."
The sexes will be able to "relate to
each other differently" once the bar
riers of sex discrimination are broken,
she said, adding that men must under
stand that their liberation is "entailed
with what the women are doing now."
She caned for the end to the "degra
dation of those qualities considered
feminine," and a "completely new
sense of sexuality" where men and
women can meet "truly and freely as
friends and lovers."
Mrs. Friedan also maintained that
within the concepts of the current sex
roles women are "given too much
power in the walls of the home because
they don't have any outside." adding
that women are "expected to do for
love what no woman or man would
do for money."
pink and Blue
In answer to a question about
women's fashion trends, Mrs. Friedan
maintained that women "are no longer
going to be slaves to the dictates of
everyone else," adding that femininity
is not "pink and blue and ruffles, but
feeling good about being a woman,
being able to love a man,"
"It's ridiculous to say that to be
a woman you must not like to wear
clothes," she said.
In answer to another question about
the military drafting of women in
time of war, Mrs. Friedan said she
believed that in the case of a "just
war," women "should not be exempt
on the basis of sex."
Explains function of press
Salinger cites role
Sy BONNIE SHOK
Collegian Senior Reporter
Pierre Salinger, press secretary to
Presidents Kennedy and Johnson. said
last night that the confrontation be
tween the government and the press
is more intense than ever before be
cause of the nature of national security
information today.
Speaking to approximately 800
People in Rec Hall, Salinger said there
are some times when the national
security "compels the government to
withhold information: but on the other
hand. the press has the absolute right
—if not the obligation—to get that in
formation,"
There also will be times, he con
tinued, when the government will ask
the press to withhold its information.
and the press then must make its own
decision on the matter.
Referring to the Bay of Pigs in
cident, Salinger said he does not blame
the press for the disaster because "the
whole operation was faulty." However,
he observed that Castro "did not need
spies to know that there was going
to be an invasion" because the press
"told him everything about it except
the time and the place."
The former press secretary dis
tinguished between "the people's right
to know" and "the enemy's right not
to know."
12:112:311
He termed the week-long quaran
tine on information during the Cuban
Missile Crisis of 1962 the single action
which contributed more than any other
to the success of Kennedy's policy to
ward the Soviet Union.
Discussing the Vietnam war. Salin
ger charged that the government has
gone from. "subduing information" to
"attempting to give false optimism" to
the nation to "outright lying" about
the war.
He said the government has an ob
ligation to be candid with the people
of the nation. "if it is not candid," he
added, "then there is a basis conflict
with the press."
Salinger maintained that it is "ab
solutely essential to a free society"
that a president has an adversary re
lationship with the press in the coun
try.
Departing briefly from his discus
sion of the relationship between the
government and the press, Salinger out
lined the role of a press secretary as
as another measure to cut expenses.
In committee reports, Magaziner
expressed displeasure that more OTIS
people did not appear at OTIS' picket
against the Television Service Center
May 7•
It was agreed that OTIS would
picket the service center gain today.
The demonstration will originate at
1 p.m. in the OTIS office, 210 Betz&
Union Building. Magaziner said any
student is invited to participate,
Maintain Pressure
Dubil stressed that pressure must
be maintained against the Television
Service Center as an example to other
downtown merchants. "Ii we drop
Television Service Center, we don't
have much influence," he said.
Magaziner said the Two Wheels
Cycle Shop, which cohabits OTIS'
blacklist along with Television Service
Center, also may be picketed soon.
Larry Gerson, social committee
chairman, announced that Casino night
will be held May 26 in the HUB court
yard. Details of the event will be given
at next Monday's meeting.
Two resolutions were proposed by
OTIS member Dave Hassler. The first
called for mandatory Council meetings
for members nine times each term,
rather than the present five meetings
per term.
Hassler said lesser matters then
could betaken care of at these meet
ings, providing more time for consumer
affairs, legal affairs and housing prob
lems.

Delegates
By THERESA VILLA
Collegian Senior Reporter
A constitution to set up the Penn
sylvania Association of College and
University Student Governments was
approved at a convention of delegates
from Pennsylvania schools at the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh last weekend.
Although only eight of 136 schools
were represented, Jim Fritz. Under

president ; and delegate to the conven
tion called it a success. "A final con
stitution was adopted, the permanent
steering committee was established and
several immediate goals of the organi
zation were determined," he said.
Alan Linder, USG senator, was
chosen as one of the 12 members of the
steering committee. He said the com
mittee will coordinate funds. oversee
the operations of PACUSG, and initiate
legislation into its general assembly.
According to' Fritz, PACUSG
eventually will evolve into a student
lobby in the state legislature in Harris
burg, but it may take up to two years
before the lobby is official.

He explained that the press sec
retary holds two press conferences
daily at which he has to answer the
questions put to him by reporter,.
Because the press secretary is the
spokesman of the president, "every
thing he says is taken as coming from
the White House and therefore has the
greatest possible impact," Salinger
said.
Looking back to • the press con
ferences of Kennedy and Johnson, he
recalled that the preparation for the
conferences usually "took almost 24
hours."

By ROD NORMAND
Collegian Senior Reporter
A special task force appointed by
s tat e attorney general J. Shane
Creamer spent the entire day here
yesterday conducting hearings into the
Newgate-Newview controversy.
Project Newgate is a University
run prison program designed to help
convicts earn college degrees while
imprisoned at Rockview State Peni
tentiary. Operation Newview is a pro
gram which has been proposed by
Rockview penitentiary warden Joseph
Mazurkiewicz to take the place of
Newgate when its funding expires
June 30.
Newgate program director Jay
Campbell Jr.. professor of law enforce
ment at the University. and Mazurkie
wicz both have applied to the gover
nor's justice commission for federal
funding. and the task force was charged
by the attorney general with choosing
which program would be the best to
fund.
The task force did not announce a
decision on the issue. but said that
would be done after they return to
Harrisburg and make their recommen
dation to the attorney general. He has
final say in the matter but is expected
to follow the decision of the task force.
10 Testify
Ten persons, including Newgate
staff, students. consultants and Univer
sity faculty testified on behalf of con
tinuing the Newgate program. Testi
fying for Newview were three persons:
Edward V. Ellis, associate dean of the
College of Human Development; Don
ald H. Ford, dean of the College of
Human Development, and Mazurkie
wicz.
At one point during the arguments
over the differences between the two
projects. Maj. john D.• Case, task force
chairman• said he has studied the pro
posals Campbell has in the past sub
mitted for Newgate as well as the
proposal Mazurkiewicz recently sub
mitted for Newview. Case indicated
that Mazurkiewicz had evidently glean
ed much of the contents of the Newview
proposal from Newgate and EXCEL

"Our immediate task is to persuade

would enable PACUSG to obtain fi

duct a "campus by campus referendum

Fritz said first PACUSG must be

Nader's affiliates will declare Pennsyl

so they have something to work with,"
he added.
Linder said his position on the

He added he believes his work will not

"We were able to predict 98 per
cent of the questions asked," Salinget
claimed.
He admitted that he planted ques
tions "on occasion" when he felt that
the press might overlook an important
issue.
During a question and answer
period following his talk, Salinger said
his personal choice in the 1972 presi
dential election is George McGovern
"l'm going to try to help him all I can,"
he added.

At a press conference held later
in the evening. Salinger said he has
finished a novel "On Instructions Of
My Government" which will be pub- -
lished "in a couple of weeks."
witness Theodore Faber, deputy proj
ect director, said he had repeatedly
tried to form a joint committee for this
purpose, but Mazurkiewicz did not co
operate.
Warden Uncooperative
Matthew Israel, a consulting psy
chologist ,who has been working with
behavior modification in the Newgate
program, testified that Mazurkiewicz
has been very uncooperative, and added
that he feels , the program will suc-'
teed only in its present form. He said
University and penitentiary officials
have spent the better part of this year
embroiling the program in controversy,
hindering its effectiveness and thus
raising questions about the sincerity
of Mazurkiewicz and the College of
Human Development. The college - last
month announced that it does not sup
port ,Newgate and would rather - see
Newview implemented.
Campbell charged that Human-De
velopment and Rockview have insti
tuted a series of petty harrassm,ents
against the project. Two Newgate stu
dents. Mike Shields and Robert Boyle,
also testified saying that, as students,
they had serious concern for their fu
ture once the program is taken over
by Mazurkiewicr. and Newview.
Newgate associate professor of
English Ronald Maxwell and Gregory
Giebel, who is researching the project
as the subject for his master's thesis,
testified that serious components of the
project are likely to be neglected 'if
Mazurkiewicz takes over.
Mazurkiewicz, supported by testi
mony of Ellis and Ford, said he has
every intention of carrying all com
ponents of Newgate forward. In re
sponse to previous charges by Newgate
students, he said he is interested - in
providing for aftercare, i.e. counseling
and guidance of students who already
have been released and are now at
tending the University. He said that
James Sprowls. present Newgate after
care director. has agreed to conduct
Mewl:lea/ aftercare.
But Sprowls later said he haCre
ceived "no cooperation" from Mazur
kiewicz in the proposed aftercare pro
gram. He verified that he will stay,, on
if Newview takes effect, but only to
fulfill' prior commitments to Newgate
students.
Questions Function
Speaking for many other faculty
who have taught in Newgate, Maxwell
said many will not stay with the pro
gram. once Newview takes effect. Max
well also questioned whether an agency
could be "both policeman and educa
tor," adding that he does not think it
is possible.
Mazurkiewicz testified that an
agency can be both educator and keep
er. He said if the program is to have
long range value it will have to - be
incorporated as a permanent part of
the penitentiary, not run by an outside
agency.
During a rebuttal session, and after
Ellis and Ford had left the hearing.
the Newgate witnesses refuted many of
Mazurkiewicz's claims about the past
conduct of Newgate staff and faculty.
Mazurkiewicz was then given a chance
to reply, but declined to do so. Before
the hearings were adjourned. however,
Chairman Case asked Mazurkiewiez
if he would retaliate against any of

kiewicz said he will not do so.

PACUSG presently is working to

politics booklet to help students
become involved in local politics.

State College established a political ac
tion curriculum committee to work for
more practicums and courses in prac

Fritz said.
He added the PACUSG committee

ing on a plan to coordinate concert:cori
tracting with other schools. Groups
would not charge as much for their ap
pearances if they were scheduled to
perform two or three consecutive nights

"The aim will be to obtain groups
at lower prices and make the expensive
talent more available to the colleges
and universities in the state," he ex
plained.
The PACUSG constitution will be
presented for ratification at the USG
Student Senate meeting Wednesday,
and the Academic Assembly meeting
next week.
