Yet another replay of the tape recording made some time
ago now, with the same emotionally charged catch-phrases,
and - without regard to whether they are as justified as they
might have been when they were first coined.
The trauma of a woman raped, I take it, is that in the
violation of her body, that body is existentially inseparable
from her self or personal idenity. How incongruous it is, on the
other hand that when a woman exercises her power over a
man or men to obtain her heart's desires there is involved a
kind of reification of her body, or at least of sexual activity,
which must surely stand apart from her essence. That is, from
the most "innocent" flirtation to an express promise of
recompense for services rendered or goods delivered, there is
A Kennedy at college or just a boy at Brown
Sept. 11, 1979
Dear Brenda
Hi! How are you? That's good. I a hi
I ine too. It sure is nice to he back here at
Brown. I have lots of classes, plus I am
rush chairman this semester, so I am
pretty busy. It sure is nice to be this busy
after a summer of doing nothing. Not
that I consider you nothing, Brenda, but
what with your snoopy aunt and
everything, it wasn't like we could see
each other all the time, was it? By the
way, I lost my belt there under the big
rock, on that place on the beach, you
remember i heh-heh). You know, the one
I bought,at St. Moritz?
Listen, I have to tell you about one of
my advisees. His name is John, and he's
a freshman, and a drama major, too!
Like, when I saw him at registration, I
said, "Okay, John, lay some drama on
me," but he wasn't too friendly. So I
decided to stop in on him later that af
ternoon to see if I could do anything for
him. And it was a really weird scene.
First, there were lots of photographers
and reporters around the place. I only
got past the lobby attendant 'cause I
know her (she's just a friend, really).
His mom and his sister brought him
up. His sister is a Harvard bitch, real
snotty, and his mom is real softspoken
and small and looks like she would break
if somebody tapped her. She looked a lot
like Jacqueline Bisset in "The Greek
Tycoon."
So, just as I'm going in the room, his
old lady is saying, "Listen, sweetheart,

counters
here's some money for the rest of the
month," and she hands him six
thousand-dollar bills. Then they all look
up and see me, and the old lady says, in a
real stuck up way, "May I help you?" •
"I'm just here to welcome John to
Brown," I say.
The old lady smiles. "Isn't that nice,
John-John?"
"Chrissake, ma!" John says. "I told
you to stop calling me that!"
e3oikJsz
Then the sister starts teasing him,
running around, going "John-John!
John-John!" and John takes about all he
can and finally jumps up and starts
chasing her around the room. He gets
her down on her stomach and is holding
her arm in a hammer lock and saying,
"You take that back, Caroline!"
And all this time John's mother is just
sitting there, shaking her head, and
saying, "I can't take you kids
ANYwhere!" and it was like a nuthouse,
let me tell you. Finally she gets them all
calmed down, and they all begin to put
John's clothes away.
"Now, you be sure and send your

an underlying foundation of tension, which is the basis for
prostitution, and which few women quite perceive as an on
tological paradox.
Yet, the transactional possibilities stemming from this state
of affairs are many, and of course, not subject to control by
any equal rights amendment. From my point of view, there is
something not quite right here when a person doesn't have to
pay her way in life in the same coin as I, may get more for her
"money," and all only because she was born cleft I almost
said cloven!
But there's more to it than this. You see, this patriarchal
society doesn't discriminate with the principle of "women and
children last!" The institution and maintenance of society has
more than a little to do with the protection and preservation of
those individuals whii stand at a decided disadvantage if left
strictly to their own devices. However, this vicarious power
can be abused to tyrannize over stronger individuals, and not
infrequently it is because of sheer malevolence on the part of
the naturally disadvantaged.
The reason why this tyranny is so easily possible is because
normal human sentiment tends to reinforce conventional law.
The term, bully, is one reacted to emotionally often before the
question of its applicability arises. So it is not impossible to see
that "the weaker sex" may do things with impunity in this
patriarchal society which would be immoral if not illegal if I
tried them ( e.g., a "lady" may slap a male for a verbal insult,
real or imagined; an eye for an eye in reprisal would bring on a
horde of would-be rescuers of this damsel in distress, if not the
local constabulary in a social situation! (
As one who was once a lady-hair's breadth from death at the
hands of a stooge in shining armor at the direction of a woman
scorned, I should like to see a little less finger-of-guilt-pointing
at men, which is so fashionable these days, and a little more
attention paid to the influence of women over men. Ex
periences like mine are not uncommon, but they're not so
much focused upon as rape. Perhaps this is because the
usurpation of a man's life is not so serious a situation as the
violation of a woman's body. (Jr perhaps because the "actual"
perpetrator is a man.
In any event, I am loath to believe that if women generally
had the physical capacity to rape men they wouldn't, and I
think there is something not quite right about a world ruled by
the hand that rocks the cradle.

John's rolling his eyes, and looking
like he wants them to get out of there.
His mom starts crying and sniveling and
saying, "My baby boy. If Uncle Ted
decides, I'll let you know right away.
And we'll be at Grandma's for

"Oh, do we have to?" Caroline says.

"Yes, we do!" morn says. "Now you

And Caroline starts going, "Christina,

her mother really mad, and they both
leave.
After they're gone, I sit John down and
start telling him about all there is to do
at Brown.
"I'm worried about fitting in here,"
John says. "People tend to make a fuss,
you know?"
"Well, that's the wrong attitude to
take," I say. "Don't ask what Brown can
do for you. Ask what you can do for
Brown."
Then he gets real mad and tells me to
get out of his room. You explain it!
Anyway, say hi to your old aunt for

A ticket tale
I received a traffic violation through the mail on Wednesday,
September 12, 1979. According to the ticket, I had parked in a
restricted lot (80) on September 5; however, I had moved my
car and returned it to the same spot on the 6th and 7th I
never found a ticket under my windshield wiper. After
receiving the ticket, I went to my car which was parked where
I parked all last Winter and Spring Term!
I realize that last year they had expanded Parking Lot 80;
however, one patrolman had told a friend of mine that they
would not tag you if you park in those first few rows by the
motorcycle lot, even though it is clas'sified Lot 80. I believed
this bit of information and parked there, as I said before, all
last Winter and Spring terms without one ticket!
To make matters worse, when I went out of my car, I saw
rows of cars with tickets! There are approximately 55 cars per
row and there were four rows of cars with tickets. Fines are
$5.00 each. After the multiplying is over, the figure comes to
over $1,000.00 worth of parking tickets.
To top everything off, when I was moving my car, I spotted
another with not only a ticket but a sheet of notebook paper
under its windshield wiper I got out to look. There on the
notebook paper was written "you could have also gotten a
ticket for parking crooked." What next?!
I plan on contesting my ticket and would encourage all those
who received tickets for this incident to do the same. If the
campus police did not enforce this parking policy last winter
and spring, they at least owed it to us to let us know they in
tended to enforce it this fall. Besides, don't the campus police
have better things to do at 3:45 a.m. ( like catching rapists )
rather than writing over a couple hundred tickets?
Fact or fiction
I am appalled and surprised! The Daily Collegian is usually
very fair and accurate in alits stories and editorials. Thur
sday's edition was an exception, though. The Collegian's
editorial cartoon was either intentionally slanderous or
created by an ignorant cartoonist who is hardly qualified to
make a comment on the nuclear industry.
I'm neither condemning nor condoning nuclear power; just

asking for qualified opinion based on fact. The cartoon in
questitin implied the possibility of a nuclear power plant ex
ploding like a time-bomb. If the cartoonist knew that could not
happen, he would not have drawn that hideous picture. gs
opinion was not based on fact.
It has been incorrect information from the press that has
caused much unnecessary stress and concern among the
general public on this and other subjects. Readers usually
accept as fact what is printed and many turn to the Collegian
to keep informed.
Incorrect information misleads readers and may cauv

Van Fulton will speak about Le Nature's
Mineral Water and its positioning for a col

serve as the advertising agency for the State
College test market.
Tom Feeney and Al McKenna, USG
presidential and vice:presidential
candidates, campaigned on the platform
that they would make discount cards
available to the students. These would
have been printed by USG for use in
conjunction with University iden
tification cards and would have been
good at 20 to 30 downtown businesses,
Feeney said.
Five days after the Feeney-McKenna
platform was announced, Vic Dupuis,
another vice presidential candidate, said
the administration then in office that
of Dave Haberle and Tony Cortese
had been working on such a card since
Fall Term. This disclosure effectively
destroyed the Feeney-McKenna ticket
since their principal campaign promise

Tickets will be limited to four per I.D.

In addition to the Pure Prairie League,
Farrell said, the Pousette-Dart Band
will perform songs from its latest album,
"Amnesia," for one hour.
The group is costing UCC $7,500
guaranteed, plus $2,000 for sound and
lights, Farrell said. Pousette-Dart band
will cost $3,000, she said.

The Town, Inc. a New York-based
company that goes to college towns,
seeks endorsement from some facet of
the University, then sells local mer
chants a place on the card for $3OO each
and the opportunity to be the only store
of its specialty listed on the card. In this
way USG was able to provide a discount
card with no expense.
Representatives from Key To The
Town told merchants the cards would be
delivered to USG in time for distribution
at Spring Term registration. Instead, the
cards did not arrive until nearly the end
of the term. Originally, the cards
erroneously said they were endorsed by
the University, so they were retuned to
Key To The Town to be reprinted.
The corrected cards did not arrive
until the first week of September,
Sandoe said.
Participating merchants had not been
notified of the printing error and the
delay in delivery and most of them said
they believed they had been "ripped
off." Key To The Town sent the mer
chants a letter, dated May 11, informing
them that the cards had been sent, but
the merchants said they did not see the
cards being used.
The cards are good until 1981, but no
one involved is sure whether they will
expire at the beginning or end of the
year.
