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.

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.

and embedded racism much like the

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.

of these. 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,

Many influential whites tended to
agree with the white superiority view of
inventor Samuel F B Morse (inventor of
the telegraph). In a reply to the cry for
freedom for slaves he said, "The
emancipation would remove a cor
nerstone which God has laid ”
Another theory was written by a Nash
ville publisher, Buckner H Pain He
said, "Negroes were indeed inferior,”
but he did not believe in the Biblical
reasons for the black man’s inferiority
Pain’s pamphlet, “The Negro- What is
His Ethnotrolical Status' 1 ”, shows the
true absurdity of racism
Pain stated, “The Negro had not
descended from Ham, but was the beast
of the highest order in. 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
