Mini Mary Mondays 10 ol Bloody Marys with IV2 oz of any liquor you name for only 50' IT LOOKS LIKE the University may lose the $2 million added to its appropriations bill by both chambers of the general assembly because of an arith metic mistake It seems the legislature has appropriated more money than thestate has available funds. As a result, it is scrutinizing all money bills still before them and cutting them to a minimum. The University’s budget request is now tied up in a con ference committee forced, ironically enough, by an amend ment in no way related to the amount of money appropriated. The disagreement on the Penn State bill was a requirement that the University provide the names of all teachers not teaching 12 hours a week, and explain why not Both chambers had given Penn State an additional $2 million above the committee bills. But while the bill is held up, that extra monev may be cut. UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT John \Y. Oswald presented last spring a bare-minimum budget request of 586.5 million. That, he said, was the lowest the University could go without making major cutbacks in ser vices But the request was cut by Secretary of Education John C. Pittenger's office to $81.7 million.

MYERS Business Manager and given to the legislature. Twin amendments by Rep. Galen E. Dreibelbis, D-77th, in the House and Sen. Joseph C. Ammerman, D-34th, in the Senate raised that to $83.7. The difference between $86.5 million and $83.7 million is great enough, but removing those $2 million more is a blow the University should not be expected to take. THE MISSING FUNDS will be removed from those allocated in Oswald’s budget to course im provement. Due to that un fortunate arithmetic mistake, students may be deprived of a chance to get a higher quality education. The conference committee will meet for the first time today. Among the six committee members will be Sen. Ben jamin R. Donolow, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee and long-time foe of the University. Donolow was instrumental in removing Dreibelbis’ amendment from the original version of the Senate bill, necessitating Ammerman’s amendment. THE COMMITTEE should realize that it is imperative to keep those extra funds in the final version of the bill. Without them, quality education in Penn sylvania will again fall victim to the closed pocketbook. Viewing the myths, which dominated the truth in the early days of our coun try, anyone who researches the news media during the pre and post Civil War eras, one can see the offspring of a few hundred years of racial-standards bearers parading the staffs of white supremacy.

Dial (215) 548-0300 Allen's 'Sex' misfires The fact that Woody Allen stands as an inventive and frequently hilarious comedian of the first order will not be disputed by many people, I don’t think. But along with his wild imagination, there is also a huge lack of discipline, in both the execution and the plot lines that surface and re-surface in the films he directs as well as writes and stars in. This erratic tendency and lack of continuity is most evident in his not totally successful film version of “Everything You’ve Always Wanted to Know about Sex.” Suffice it to say, in a nutshell, that this misfired movie didn’t tell me anything I’d ever wondered about sex at all. Allen has just retrieved the famous title from Dr. David Reuben’s best-seller and enlarged some of the medical questions into questionable vignettes. Which is not to say that the film is either lewd, offensive or vulgar; 1 found it none Early beliefs sustained racism A certain physics professor at a large university on the west coast has created quite a name for himself. He has been dismissed from the faculty for his teaching of the genetic inferiority of blacks. Of course this man has been totally ostracized professionally, because more than anything else his theory of black inferiority was more a reflection of his personality than scientific fact. However I will explore and trace the elements which breed this type of desperation in men. Looking at the biblical facets of early America, which tended to make the majority of whites feel superior toward non-white or third world peoples (Asians, blacks, Mexican Americans, etc.) we must observe some of the many tools used by the intellectual white supremicists to evaluate blacks in 'America.

Simply put, the segments just don’t work. Allen’s ideas must’ve looked great on paper but his creative energy is dissipated via a series of scenes that haven’t the ingenuity of thought, situation or comedy to succeed past their initial one-joke outline Woody’s direction is competent but unexciting, and his screenplay lacks the spon taneous outburst of successfully witty one-liners we’ve all come to revere, respect and revel in from Woody. Of all the skits, only the last two are moderately successful; the one about the giant runaway breast had promise but, outside the outrageous audacity about it, it doesn’t work. The final skit, "What Happens During Ejaculation” is the best of the movie and almost very nearly saves the tilm. It’s an ingeniously clever spoof on the "Fantastic Voyage’’ idea with its brilliant conception of computer teams and experts at the controls inside a man’s body and the subsequent crises earth, only to be moved by the timely erosion of the elements. The Bible has done more than its share of exploiting people through the missionaries in South American and Christian social groups like the KKK (Khristians Killing Kolored folks). Devastating biblica] argument in favor of white superiority emerged during the mid-eighteen hundreds, as viewed through the Old Testament, in the story of Noah and the curse of Canaan. According to the distorted and twisted interpretation- of white racists, blacks were the “Hamitic” peoples; they were the decendants of Noah’s son, Ham, who had been cursed and punished for watching Noah sleep in the nude. Therefore, blacks too were cursed by God; this was the rationale for Christian racism. It made racism moral and gave blacks God-given inferiority. At the same time, however, Northern white segregated anti-slavery churches argued that slavery was not the curse of God and that there was no relationship between the biblical tale and black people, because the curse was put on Ham by Noah and not by God. The anti-slavery church models were not analyzed or taken into consideration, however, since it seemed so clear to many whites, no matter what the Bible said one way or the other, the black man was inferior, because of his curly hair, The Daily Collegian wishes to apologize for running the fflie Carriage blouse and “Vomen's fashions LL 109 S PUGH STREET • STATECOU.EGE 135 E.

God’s kingdom And had been included among the pairs of animals in Noah’s ark " He further stated that the black man was “im mortal,” did not have a soul and could not benefit from life after death Pain goes on to say "Christians have no grounds to associate blacks as descendants of the Biblically cursed Hamitic people because of its" prefix." Ham (meaning black) was used years before the biblical tale occurred Pain’s documented myths and ec centric ignorance laid the foundation for the black man’s “animal image” and has been accepted to this day by quite a few white people
