Jackson's death in spotlight San Quentin 6 to go on trial SAN FRANCISCO (LNS) -San Quentin Associate Warden James Park’s final revised whitewash of the events surrounding George Jackson's assassination in August 1971 will soon come out in the upcoming trial of the San Quentin Six. Fleeta Drumgo, David Johnson, Hugo Pinell, Johnny Larry Spain, Luis Talamantez and Willie Tate are six black and brown prisoners accused of murdering three prison guards and two inmate trustees at the same time that George Jackson supposedly plucked a gun from beneath an Afro wig and charged Kamikaze-style into a heavily-guarded courtyard to escape from jail. After George Jackson lay dead in the yard, guards herded 27 prisoners from the San Quentin Adjustment Center into the courtyard and ordered them to strip. For six hours the prisoners lay on the ground, naked and handcuffed as guards beat them, kicked them, and shot at them. Even as the long day of terror unfolded inside San Quentin, authorities were busy feeding “eye-witness” accounts of Jackson’s killing to the press. To back up the claim that George Jackson died in an escape attempt, Associate Warden Park came up with a fast story which aroused so much suspicion that he soon decided to keep his mouth shut. But not before patching up the story as best he could. The “30 seconds" Jackson spent shooting it out in the Adjustment Center became 20 minutes. Jackson's hair-cut turned into a cap and then an Afro-style wig as authorities attempted to come up with a suitable hiding place for the 2.5 pound, 8 inch gun they say he snuck through a skin-search after visiting with attorney Stephen Bingham. When the San Francisco Chronicle reported an unsuccessful experiment in hiding such a gun End of WASHINGTON, D.C.(LNS) - The insurgent new leadership of the United Mine Workers of America (UMW) announced on February 2 an “End of an Era" clearance sale of three Cadillac limousines used by three former union officers. The Cadillacs are a 1967 model with a wholesale value of $1,125; a 1969 model valued at $2,350 and advertised in the UMW Journal as “never having been exposed to the wear and tear of coalfield driving;” and a 1970 “fit for a king” model valued at $3,425. Sealed bids for the cars will be accepted starting March 15, and the cars will be sold to the coal miners with the high- beneath an Afro-wig, a new story was leaked to the press. The “9mm. Spanish Astra M-600 became a lighter and smaller Llama Corto. The prison version said that George took over the Adjustment Center, released all the prisoners on the first tier, and along with fellow inmates, killed the other five men who died that day. Then, they said, George fled to the high-walled prison yard to make his escape but got picked off by a marksman from a tower 20 feet above and 100 yards away. Why anyone would attempt to escape by running into a guaranteed ambush was never explained. A few weeks later, the coroner admitted that the bullet that killed George Jackson didn’t come from above. He said it entered Jackson’s back and exited from his skull -suggesting that guards shot Jackson as he lay on the ground. The prison warden’s claim that the bullet came from above checked out with the coroner’s report only if Jackson was walking on his hands during the “escape.” But by the time the coroner made his revelation, prison officials had sealed their lips. They were hard at work in the District Attorney's office, getting ready to play their trump card - an indictment against six inmates on charges of murder and conspiracy. Concerned about the bad publicity Jackson’s assassination had stirred up, the officials apparently decided that their best defense would be a good offense. On October 1, 1971, the San Quentin Six were indicted. The defendants - Drumgo, Johnson, Pinell, Spain, Talamantez and Tate - were all men categorized by the authorities as prison militants. Each, in his own way, had protested the racism and brutality of the prison system. Because of their insistence on being treated with respect, they had all wound up in the Adjustment Center - a maximum-security building in the maximum-security prison. Prisoners call it “the hole.” Everything that is bad about prison life in general is intensified many times in the Adjustment Centers of California’s jails. Cells are approximately 6 feet by 9 feet with concrete floor and solid concrete walls. The door is either solid steel or barred and covered with heavy steel mesh. The cells are often filthy and infested with cock- roaches and bedbugs. Prisoners sleep on thin cotton pads. Locked alone in the cells for 23 or 24 hours a day, the prisoners are allowed no recreational, educational or vocational programs. The former chief psychiatrist at Soledad, Dr. Frank Rundle, had stated of the Adjustment Centers: “I don't think a place more destructive of a man’s mental health could be devised if we tried." In recent years, however, the cruelty and vindictiveness of the guards have been matched by a growing sense of brotherhood among the prisoners. And Prisoners like the Six have also developed revolutionary politics. The new sense of solidarity among prisoners is baffling the efforts of prison officials to (Continued on Page 4) COLLEGE STUDENT REVEALS HIS INDEPENDENT STUDY’ Political spying--16 credits NEW YORK (LNS)-During the recent Watergate Conspiracy trial, it was revealed that political espionage had been part of a Brigham Young University student's honors-program research project. Thomas James Gregory, a history student at the private Mormon university, testified in court that he had been recruited last spring by former White House aide E. Howard Hunt to work as a GOP undercover agent in the Washington headquarters of Democratic Presidential candidates Edmund Muskie and George McGovern. Gregory said he met Hunt at least once a week where an era est bids over the wholesale price. Only UMW members are eligible to bid, and the proceeds will go to the UMW treasury. The new leadership, which, among other things, ran on a platform declaring that “The day of the rose-in-the-lapel union leaders who refuse to leave their mahogany-paneled offices in Washington D.C. is over"., have leased a Chevrolet sedan and a station wagon to replace the limousines. “The UMW used to have Cadillacs driven by chauffers," commented the new Secretary-Treasurer Harry Patrick. “Now we have Chevrolets and the rank and file is in the driver's seat!” they exchanged typed reports for envelopes containing Gregory's $175 a week salary. Hunt requested additional intelligence of the Democratic Presidential campaigns including a detailed floor plan of NEW YORK (LNS) - Recently, the Supreme Court, by a vote of 7-2, ruled that all state laws that prohibit or restrict a woman’s right to obtain an abortion during the first three months of pregnancy are unconstitutional. The court's decision will have a far-reaching effect, forcing just about every state legislature to pass new laws that will comply with the rulings. The following is a rough breakdown of the degree to which each state will be affected by the ruling. **New York is the only state that fully complies with the ruling. **Washington, Hawaii, and Alaska conform in all details except one-they have residency requirements that were struck down by the decision. **15 states have relatively modem abortion laws that will require considerable rewriting to conform with the decision. An example of this type of state law is Georgia, McGovern's headquarters. Gregory was supposed to get 16 credits from Brigham Young as independent study for his participation in the Democratic Presidential campaign and for a term paper a- which was one of the test cases before the Supreme Court. The Georgia law permitted abortions when a doctor found in “his best clinical judgement” that continued pregnancy would threaten the woman’s life or health, that the fetus would be likely to be bom defective or that the pregnancy was the result of rape. Doctors in states like Georgia have tended to take a narrow view of what constituted a woman's health in deciding whether an abortion was legally justified. The Court struck down several requirements that a woman who wanted an abortion would have to meet in Georgia. Among them were a flat prohibition on abortions for out-of-state residents; requirements that hospitals be accredited by a private agency; that applicants be screened by a hospital committee; and that two independent doctors certify the potential danger to the woman's health. bout his experience - the Democratic one, not the Republican. However, now that his espionage activities are out in the open, his credits and duture at Brigham Young are up in the air. The states with these type of laws are: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Maryland, Mississippi, New Mexico, No. Carolina, Oregon, So. Carolina, Virginia. **31 states with abortion laws that often date back to the last half of the 19th century, have been entirely invalidated by the Court. Texas, also a test case before the Supreme Court, is typical of these criminal statutes which prohibit all abortions except those to save a mother’s life. The states in this category are: Arizona, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Mass., Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, No. Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Penn., Rhode Island, So.

Supreme Court decision to have far-reaching results \ THE CRIER - Feb. 22. 1973 - 2 Transfer directory available to the Editor: Junior college students throughout the United States, who are interested in transferring to senior colleges next fall, now have an informative educational directory available to them, FREE-OF-CHARGE. The EASTERN REGION SENIOR COLLEGE DIRECTORY FOR THE TRANSFER STUDENT is the only publication of its kind in the United States which is to be utilized exclusively for transfer articulation between accredited junior colleges, business schools and senior colleges. The publishers of the directory, Letter-Men, Inc., a Lexington, Massachusetts, based marketing, management, advertising and public relations company, conceived and designed the directory because of the need for better articulation in the transfer area. Co-editors, Harry D. McCrensky and George C. Kooyoomjian, former junior college administrators, feel that the junior college student requires more guidance in the selection of a senior college. “Since the senior colleges in the directory are actively seeking transfer students, and because their full page listings state specific transfer policies, qualified sophomores may apply to these schools with more assurance of acceptability of credits," they stated. The 1972-73 EASTERN REGION SENIOR COLLEGE DIRECTORY FOR THE TRANSFER STUDENT has a distribution covering 27 states, 663 public and private junior colleges, 300 accredited business schools and 27 veteran counseling centers, reaching a market of over 190,000 sophomores from the two-year educational institutions. The distribution will vary in size according to sophomore classes. The 1973-74 directory will expand the 27 state region, encompassing senior colleges throughout the United States. In addition to senior college transfer admissions policies, articles from leading educational authorities have been written in the areas of transfer shock, housing, the transition from associate's to bachelor’s degree, career objectives and financial aid assistance. In 1972, a national increase of junior college enrollments exceeded 6%.

Shakespeare's birthplace is not London as you lead the reader to believe. William Shakespeare’s birth-place is located and preserved on Henley Street in Stratford-Upon-Avon, England. (Stratford is in approximately a 50-mile radius of London.) At Henley St., the tourist will find a literary, historically pre- community college students, and over 35% of private junior college students seek transfer to senior colleges. Therefore, the EASTERN REGION SENIOR COLLEGE DIRECTORY FOR THE TRANSFER STUDENT is expected to create quite an impressive impact on transfer admissions throughout the United States.

McKernan A Gallup survey in June undertook to find out how people felt about providing contraceptive services to unnamed teenagers who are sexually active. The 1,574 respondents were asked: “Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: ‘Professional birth control information, services and counseling should be made available to unmarried teenagers who are sexually active.’ ” Almost three-quarters of that group - 73 percent - agreed. Twenty-three percent disagreed and four percent had no opinion. A majority within each category of people - religion, income, education - were in favor. Sixty-eight percent of Catholics agreed with the statement while 29 percent disagreed. Protestants were in favor, 72 percent to 23 percent. At least 70 percent of respondents in all sections of the country favored services for minors, with a high of 81 per cent in the West. There were variations in the degree of support from different age groups, with the greatest support coming from those under 30 (82 percent), and the least from those 45 and older (64 percent). Respondents with higher incomes and more education were more inclined to support the idea of birth control for teenagers than those with lower incomes and less education. Only 52 percent of those with a grade school education were in favor, compared to 74 per cent of high school graduates and 87 percent of college graduates. The results of the survey parallel the trend in the states in the last few years of permitting teenagers to consent to their own contraceptive care. Two-thirds of the states have taken affirmative action to give women 18 and older the authority to consent to birth control services. In the third of these states, the age limit is even lower, or there is no age limit at all. Both the state legislatures and the general public thus appear to be increasingly aware that many teenagers need contraceptive services and increasingly willing to provide them with these services.

THE CRIER-Feb. 22, 1973-4 Chopping Block by CHRIS MORTON, Editor-in-Chief Getting it together by STEVE AVERY, Managing Editor The United States, unsatisfied with the Geneva Accords of 1954, felt that it was our right, indeed our duty, to rectify the injustices perpetrated on the peoples of South Vietnam by that unscrupulous international peace commission. The Vietnam War was the result of this contemptuous feeling of the people of the United States, and now after four presidents and hundreds of thousands of American casualties, that war has ended. But the sad part of this ending is that the “wounds” of the Geneva Accords which the U.S. Government has fought so gallantly to change are still in existence along with a whole new list of anti- U.S. provisions. One area in which the U.S. failed miserably is the area of interrational recognition of the split between the two Vietnam's. In the late fifties when President Eisenhower realized that the free elections guaranteed by the Geneva Accords would produce a Communist Vietnam, he decided that the U. S. could "not afford” to lose South Vietnam, and so the C.I.A. or "military advisors were introduced into Vietnam for the purpose of saving that country. The end result is that North and South Vietnam are to be reunited anyway, in a free election not unlike the one specified in the 1954 accord. Another point on which the United States seems to have fouled up is the question of the Viet Cong or the National Liberation Front (N.L.F.) According to the original peace agreement the N.L.F. had no right to bear arms south of the 17th parallel. Now, after many years of war in an attempt to exterminate the N.L.F., the N.L.F. not only has the right to bear arms, but the only restriction being imposed is that the N.L.F. shall not have more weapons than the Army of the Republic of South Vietnam (A.R.N.V.) (Article 7). So the question arises; if the U.S. has failed so miserably to achieve those objectives which they saw as being of paramount importance, just what did it accomplish? If the borders are unchanged, and the provisions of the two treaties nearly identical what good has all this death and destruction done? Well, if you can call inflating the national economy good, then the war in Indochina has been a total success. If you think that making corporations like I.T.T., I.B.M. and Honeywell rich is for the benefit of mankind, then the war in Indochina has been a roaring success. And if you think that graft is a reasonable wav for Richard Nixon to get spending money, then those hundreds of thousands of individuals who gave life and limb did not suffer in vain. But you will have to excuse my ignorance, because I believe the United States is wrong. Terribly wrong, because I still believe that people who get rich through the spilling of other people’s blood should be locked up in a cage, not rewarded with high ranking positions. And you will also have to excuse me while I become ill, because even now to a dose, these same war pigs are finding out that there is money to be made once again in Vietnam - repairing the destruction which they have caused. And the taxpayer will once again be taking care of the kill. The Crier Published by the students of Corning Community College EDITORIAL BOARD Editor-in-Chief......................

Ryan PHOTOGRAPHY DEPARTMENT: Liz Presley April Evans Brenda Ewing Dave Game John Wiggins Ivar Paur Dan White BUSINESS STAFF: April Evans Brenda Ewing OFFICE CREW: Chris Burke Anita Barton April Evans Liz Presley CIRCULATION: Twig Cady Mora on prison reform In Jessup, Maryland, just south of Baltimore is the location of the 500-man Patuxent Institution. Patuxent is not a prison nor a mental institution, but a frightening combination of the two. It is totally controlled by psychiatrists and although the Patuxent inmates are legally sane, they can be held there indefinitely if the institution's board of review does not recommend their release. This is due to the “defective delinquent act” that was passed in 1951 by the Maryland legislature. This means that anyone convicted of a crime that is punishable by imprisonment can be referred to Patuxent for an “evaluation” by the trial judge, prosecuting attorney or defense attorney. If the Patuxent board diagnoses a person as a "defective delinquent” he then has a hearing before a civil court to determine if he should be committed. To obtain a conviction, the state need only show an “Abundance of evidence" because these hearings are in civil court. According to prison statistics, 85 percent of the people who receive hearings are committed to Patuxent. Mannfried Guttmacher, a Patuxent board member points out that Patuxent is concerned with people “in conflict with authority figures.” Guttmacher describes a “defective delinquent” as a “rebel without a cause.” Therefore, Patuxent’s effect on inmates should be to socialize them. However, Patuxent, “socializing process" is frightening. The prison yard is surrounded by three barbed wire fences topped with gun towers staffed by guards with automatic weapons. The grounds are patrolled by jeeps and teams of dogs. Inmates are locked behind nine steel doors. In Patuxent, it is possible to receive 15 years on a four year sentence. Dr. Boslow, head psychiatrist at Patuxent explains how. "Instead of making punishment fit the crime, we will make it fit the personality of the offender. If a man who is normal -mentally at least - robs a bank he is likely to get 10 to 20 years in prison. But if a psychopath steals a loaf of bread, he may get only 10 or 20 days in jail. And when he is released he may kill the first person who crosses him.” “I do not really agree with this logic but at Patuxent, stealing that loaf of bread can get you life. And, as one Patuxent parolee, who did 10 years on a four-year sentence, points out, the criteria for admission to Patuxent is “so vague in definition it covers most anything. It would be hard to get a lawyer to prove you’ re not in one of these (Patuxent’s) categories.” However, even when inmates do get out of Patuxent, they carry scars with them. One inmate, Charles Tippett, was released on parole and immediately fled the state claiming he felt that eyes were constantly watching him. Later, he turned himself in because he couldn’t function independently. So I ask myself where is Patuxent and similar institutions really at. Perhaps it is time to overhaul our court systems and change our prison conditions before it gets worse. Or maybe we should ignore it because it does not effect us directly. Nevertheless, what do you think? San Quentin 6 (Continued from Page 1) keep their captives in line. In the case of the Six, this means that the prosecution is going to have to do without its star witness, Allan Marcino, a white exprisoner who was earlier forced to make statements against the Six in exchange for medical treatment. Mancino is now suing the California State Board of Control for $450,000. He was released from prison last May on parole -a routine gesture towards prosecution witnesses. But once free, Mancino filed suit that prison guards shot him in his legs during those six hours in the courtyard of San Quentin after George Jackson’s murder and then denied him medical treatment until he signed a statement against other prisoners. An affidavit smuggled out of prison by Fleeta Drumgo and John Cluchette, the two surviving Soledad Brothers, detailed the events in the courtyard. It stated while Mancino was chained on the ground, one guard shot part of his leg off. When he was finally operated on, Mancino's suit states, he was denied medication and anesthesia for the pain. Ten minutes after he was returned to his cell, guards came, covered his head with a cloth sack, and began beating him again. Marcino charges that at one point the guards threatened to kill him. He was told that he could get medicine for the pain only if he would swear to statements against the other inmates. Eventually, he signed the statements which he has now repudiated. Mancino is still in a dangerous position on parole, but his cooperation with the prison authorities seems to have reached its end. There are plenty of guards to tell the prison version of what happened, but the prosecution may fail to convince a jury with the testimony of guards alone. Within the recent past, surviving Soledad Brothers John Clutchette and Fleeta Drumgo, Chincano activists Luis Talamantez, and Angela Davis have been tried and acquitted on charges stemming from prison violence. Juries are beginning to bring back not-guilty verdicts in cases where the testimony is clearly engineered by force - like prisoners forced to testify against other prisoners to gain their freedom. After the Soledad Brothers’ trial, one juror was quoted in the Los Angeles Times: "There was no case against them. Everybody who testified against them was bought.” When the State of California (Continued on Page 8) 5-THE CRIER - Feb. 22, 1973 VIETNAM PEACE ACCORD: and without foreign interference. The time for reunification will be agreed upon by North and South Vietnam.

The question that attests the mind: "Are English only to give fresh insights of the artist's work. And if sex connotations happen to be there, it is the professor’s duty to inform his students. Let us be broad-minded enough to say that a professor is demented because he speaks openly on sex.

His columns for the Los Angeles Times Syndicate appear in some 450 newspapers from Enid, Oklahoma to Israel. Since January 1949, when Buchwald began turning out his columns for the European (Paris) edition of the New York Herald Tribune, Buch wald has been entertaining readers with his spirited and sometimes irreverent comments on the celebrities and tourists who came and went on the European scene. Mr. Buch wald presently has 16 books to his credit, including 14 collections of his columns and miscellaneous writings, two guides to Paris, and one novel entitled “A Gift From The Boys’’.) I know no one will believe me, but you're just going to have to take my word for it. I met a college student the other day who said that all he wanted out of life was success and financial security. He asked me not to use his name because he didn’t want to embarrass his parents, so I shall call him Hiram. “Hiram,” I asked him, “Why did you decide to take this revolutionary attitude toward society?" “I don’t know exactly when it happened. I was like most of the rest of the students. I wanted to tear down the school, the society, the establishment. I was just another conformist, and I never questioned why I was doing all the things that were expected of me.” “Then one day I thought to myself, 'There’s got to be more to life than getting hit over the head by the cops.' I looked around me and saw nothing but sheep. Every student was doing his thing because someone else had done his thing, and no one was doing or saying anything new.” “So you decided to drop out of the student movement and become a millionaire?” “Not at first. But I met this girl. She was really way out She wore a cashmere sweater, a plaid skirt and she had on shoes and socks - I couldn’t believe anyone would dress like that. But I got to talking to her, and she started making sense.” “She said it wasn’t enough to lock yourself in a building or go on a hunger strike in your dorm. If you really wanted to change the world, you had to make a lot of money, and then people wouldn’t tell you what to do.” “That’s radical thinking,” I said. “Then she gave me a book by Prof. Horatio Alger, and I guess no book I ever read has had more of an effect on me.” “Wasn’t Prof. Alger the one who came out first with the success syndrome theory?” “That’s he. His story floored me. I mean a whole new world opened for me, and I knew no matter what the consequences were and no matter what other people thought, I was going to work hard and become rich and successful. Life finally took on son® meaning for me, and for the first time I felt like a free man." “What did you do then?” “I discovered through this girl that there were other students on campus who felt the way I did — not many, but there were enough. So we formed a group called the ‘Students for a Successful Society.' At first we had to go underground, because the administration wouldn’t acknowledge us as a legitimate campus organization. But as more and more students heard about us, the SSS kept growing. We’ve been able to radicalize at least 200 students who would rather be rich than do their thing." "What are some of your activities to get more supporters?" "We sell the Wall Street Journal on campus. We’ve opened a coffeehouse where you can read back copies of Fortune. We have a stock market ticker tape in the back of the room, and on weekends we have readings from the National Assn. of Manufacturers Bulletins.” "Hiram, I know this all sounds great.

As a direct result of a meeting of the commons staff, a decision was made to remove all unleashed dogs to the humane society beginning February 12. It could be assumed that people had begun to get tired of seeing “shit, etc.” on the floor. There was also talk of our illustrious cafeteria being shut down because, according to state law, it is a health hazard for dogs to be permitted in places where food is prepared. So the law has been laid down but, for the first time this year at Coming, a break has occurred in the steady pattern of apathy. People, dog owners especially are beginning to take issue with the decision. “EPILOG OF A MAN’S SOUL” The Man was old, tattered and torn, He pondered why, He was even bom.

The student finds these themes in the great classics “Madame Bovary”, "Grapes of Wrath”, "Of Human Bondage”, etc. English professors are unique specialists in the field of words. They see things where others do not. English professors want movement is just a passing fad?” "No, it isn’t. I know everyone calls us kooks and weirdos, but no one is going to push us around. We’ve already had inquiries from other campuses that want to set up similar chapters, and I wouldn’t be surprised in the next few years to see what is now a minority movement become the strongest force in the country. After all, nothing succeeds like success." Going to the dogs? There has been discussion of such interesting events as staging a protest demonstration involving "running Al Paperelli up the flagpole in effigy; and leaving dogs on 100 foot leashes. The people who are planning these actions seem to be missing the point of the entire issue. For dog owners, it seems to be an infringment upon their right to enjoy their pets but they do not stop to think that maybe their dogs are infringing on the rights of others and, a point to be remembered, dog owners are in the minority. So do not worry about the small stuff. Dogs are still allowed to roam on campus -but to leash them in the commons is a small thing to do to show respect for the rights of others. THE CRIER — Feb. 22, 1973 - 8 Warfare Prisoners seek reform Wars will always with us, as the Empires of Rome and Greece; nations' rulers never follow the suffering Prince of Peace. The hellish plans of man and devil were well done; the Wall Street Crash of '29 and the Pearl Harbor of '41. Triggered booby-traps of international beachheads and corridors; keep that cauldron ever boiling, with bloody missions and wars. "These are wars to end wars," all the political phonies plead; ‘twas the end for those suckers who died while they bled. From the dragons’ teeth around the world, that have been sown, will rise vengeance raining violence, on every American home. Political pied-pipers always with siren songs of welfare, promise peace, but give us police actions, and bloody warfare. "Last” as a modifier of "War” cannot pass a semantics test; undesirable to politicians but truthful, is the word “Latest.” For democracy and Cuban freedom, they started it all; when Teddy Roosevelt charged up to that San Juan Ball. He also threw the election of 1912, to Woodrow Wilson who, gave us World War I, followed by Hitler, Stalin and Mao too. Then came Franklin D. Roosevelt, that great Navy man; he first helped Great Britain and put U.S. on the frying pan. Made Commander in Chief, helped by his Great Depression; then needled into Pearl Harbor giving us another lesson. He tripled promised and swore, into his famous third election; then lost the key to peace and his hot telephone connection. Had the King to the first Worlds Fair in '39, only for, just to chew a frankfurter and cook up the next bloody war. He gave all plenty of relief, liquor, blood-money and cant; also the New Deal with wars, violence, drugs and sex rampant. Truman and Johnson’s United Nations police pacification acts; no more declared wars; they’re to be committments and pacts. SPAWN OF THE NEW DEAL comes to trial. While an appeals court has ruled that one of the Six - Fleeta Drumgo -can choose his own attorney instead of having a court-appointed attorney thrust on him, the prosecutor has appealed the decision to the Supreme Court of California. Even if the Supreme Court upholds Drumgo’s right to his own court appointed attorney (which appears very unlikely to those who attended that hearing) the court proceedings which are expected to begin early in the new year, will cost the defense hundreds of thousands of dollars.

In spite of an estimated $20 million poured into the reservation by the federal government yearly, in fulfillment of treaties made over 100 years ago, the citizens of this community are living in abject poverty with all its accompanying ills: poor nutrition, inadequate housing, shoddy medical care and a high rate of infant mortality. Part of the reason the money flows in and out of the reservation is because it is the only place to get goods within a fifty-mile radius, which gives the owner a monopoly over the people within that distance. Thus the prices of food and clothing are fixed on nothing but the whim of the individual trader. For the first time, a hearing was held at Window Rock, August 28, at which 150 traders were called upon by government officials to answer allegations of abuse of the Navajo people. The hearing was sponsored by the Federal Trade Commission and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (B.I’A.) The witnesses were all Navajo and mostly women. For a solid week, these people testified in the Navajo language (with an interpreter) to the way the traders treated them. The typical story went like this: “I asked about my welfare check at McKee’s Trading Post, and Mr. McKee said it had arrived. I was asked to thumbprint it, and Mr. McKee took it back. He said that part of it went to pay for goods I had purchased on credit, and the rest was credited to my account for future purchases. I never have received any cash from my checks, and I do not know what I owe or what amount of credit remains on my account until the trader tells me.” Among the various ripoffs of which the traders were accused, the most common were: unlawful retention of welfare checks, artificially inflated prices for goods, violation of the Truth-in-Lending Act; excessively high interest rates, and false account entries for "purchases.” Reservation prices average 27% higher than in stores in average U.S. cities,. The cheapest pound of coffee, for example, on a reservation, was priced at $1.29. The average per capita income on the Navajo reservation in 1970 was $1,000 as compared with $4,000 in the average U.S. city that year. At those prices and with that income, how does anyone survive? Barely. Here’s the way the system works. The trader naturally knows all of the inhabitants within his vicinity. He customarily makes a deal with the local post office to have all the mail, or at least welfare checks of his customers, sent directly to him. (Most of the Navajos receive welfare.) Often he does not inform the customer of the arrival of the welfare check, until it suits him. According to dozens of witnesses the customer is then asked to thumbprint his check as endorsement The trader then confiscates the check, presents the customer with a verbal account of his tab in the store since no receipts are given. The customer simply has to take the trader’s word for the amount that he owes. In addition, there is strong evidence that the trader will pad the bill of the customer. One Navajo testified that she had not shopped at a particular trading post for six months, yet when she returned, her bill had increased considerably during that six month period. Bureau officials as well as tribal officials were attacked for their laxity in enforcing the law. This charge came from Peterson Zah, the Deputy Director of DNA (Dinebeiina Nagiilna Be Agaditahe,, INC) a legal organization formed by Navajos for the specific pur-pose of protecting Navajos from traders. This was the job that was supposed to be done by the BIA and Tribal officials who have, however, proven apathetic and impotent in the face of bureaucratic red tape and possible graft, according to Zah. These hearings will continue at reservations throughout the country hopefully. Future action taken on the findings of the investigation at Window Rock will ret historical precedent on reservations. San Quentin (Continued from Page 4) nia “bought” Allan Mancino, it underestimated the man. It was not their first mistake with Mancino. Five months before George Jackson's death, Mancino had given an affadavit to attorneys for the Soledad Brothers which declared that while he was at Soledad he had been questioned about his feelings towards Jackson. Mancino said, “Captain Moody asked if I would care if anything happened to George Jackson, to which I answered I didn't care one way or another. Moody then asked me if I would kill George Jackson. He said he did not want another Eldridge Cleaver." Mancino refused to kill George, though Moody made it dear that Mancino’s own life was in danger if he did not. Since the loss of its star witness, the prosecution has been doing its utmost to see that the San Quentin Six are poorly represented when their case Veteran aid offered Strong emphasis is placed on recruiting Vietnam-era veterans into this teacher-aide program, which aims at improving educational opportunities and the quality of instruction offered to children attending poverty-area schools. As COP aides, veterans receive training in the classroom and at cooperating colleges to develop a career in education. You move upward to levels of increasing responsibility. Your goal may be eventual certification as a teacher, or you may stop at any level along the way. Over 1,100 veterans have been recruited, trained and placed through 132 COP projects.

Meanwhile they’re being held in the decaying, overcrowded city jails through hearing after hearing after hearing (back and forth to the courthouse, waiting sometimes up to 10 hours to get into the courtroom). “Bail is set at a certain amount and then when the family of a person being held comes down, they look it up and it’s higher,” commented Barry Wilson. "They hold a person in jail and then when their family comes to find out about them, the Department of Correction can’t find them. “For a copy of your indictment, which you have to have, they charge $4 a page-some people have 10 page, 20 page indictments-how can a poor person afford to buy some-filing like that?" And then there are the Legal Aid Society lawyers, who are assigned most people who can’t afford their own. “The Legal Aid Society doesn’t put enough people there to be effective,” noted Wilson. “The inmate and the lawyer have a folder-client relationship not a person -to person relationship. The law talks about a right to counsel but not about if it is effective counsel.” And motions made by inmates themselves are in most cases, rejected by judges without even reading them. “The way the law works is that it is necessary to prove yourself innocent," said Barry Wilson. That's the hardest thing for a black, Puerto Rican or poor white person to do.” As the prisoners said at the time of the court boycott: “History has proven that the power of the people is greater than any system based upon the denial of human needs and rights. This truth, the awareness, had to be brought to public notice, even at the expense of added servitude on the plantation, called correctional facility. BROOKLYN, N.Y. (LNS) -For two weeks during the summer, about 50% of the 1507 men in the overcrowded Brooklyn House of Detention at 183% capacity refused to go to their court appearances. Some men were tried in absentia, some sentenced without being there. One judge told one inmate who did go to court to tell his friend he’d receive a longer sentence than he was originally promised. They issued 15 proposals and demands ranging from change in bail procedure to fit the economic backgrounds of the inmates to allowing them to submit their own motions to "the right to true meaning of ‘peer’, through all legal proceedings from arrest through trial and appeal,” to "honest sincere legal representation.” The court boycott didn’t erupt out of nothing. It grew out of a significant suit that 7 jail house lawyers in the Brooklyn House of Detention started putting together in late spring. The suit puts judges, the Department of Correction and the Parole Department on trial. “It’s a direct confrontation with the judicial system,” said one of the outside lawyers who is working with the inmates. “We felt that something had to be done about the breakdown of the judicial system,” said Barry Wilson, who, along with Donald Wallace, Maurice Hundley, Algie McGill, Wilbert Donald, Randolph Jenkins, and Lawrence Gurley, put together the suit. He is now out on bail after being inside the Brooklyn House of Detention for six months and two days. The seven of them, who had learned law in jail, had realized, he said, “that the problem just didn’t lie in the Department of Correction getting more TVs and better food” but in the whole judicial process itself. The system consists of an openly accepted process of “plea-bargaining” where defendants are offered a lower charge and a subsequent lower sentence if they plead guilty. “Plea bargaining is even more insidious for people inside than outside,” said Dan Alterman, a lawyer who is helping on the case. “Prisoners are at the lowest rung on the ladder.” And so in many cases people who are held in jail because OK for women—but not calves Literary Guild The morning after pill sponsors contest NEW YORK (LNS)-Diethyl stflbestrol, better known to the public as DES, is a female hormone used in cattle feed and also injected into cattle to make them reach maturity faster (thus shortening the time and money that has to be invested in them.) Last summer, DES was banned from cattle feed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) because it was found to be carcinogenic (cancer-inducing). But even though people were understandably upset about the presence of DES in their meat, few talked or even knew about diethyl stilbestrol’s use as a postcoital Contraceptive-The Morning After Pill. The Morning After Pill (MAP) is administered in a massive dose twice a day for five days. The amount of DES-25 mgs. - is about 500 times that produced naturally in the body. This use of DES is unapproved by the FDA. The FDA has rules governing the use of new drugs under investigation, and the unsupervised use of DES as a contraceptive does not follow those rules. It appears that drug firms like Lilly (biggest supplier of DES for both MAP and animal uses), Upjohn, and other major drug firms are encouraging the current uses of DES. In fact, the use of the MAP has increased in the past year-despite the warnings. Tens of thousands of women were exposed during the 1940s and 1950s to large doses of DES prescribed by doctors to prevent miscarriage. And 100 daughters of these women are already known to have developed cervical cancer. Most of the women are being operated on to stop further spread of the cancer. If it is detected early enough they will live-others have and will continue to die. (All the more appalling is the fact that DES proved ineffective in preventing miscarriages.) Most University Health Services are giving the Morning After Pill to women to prevent pregnancy after they have had intercourse without contraception while potentially ovulating. Rape victims are also frequent recipients of DES. Recently, the Health Research Group — a group that works with consumer-advocate Ralph Nader-compiled a report on the use of DES as a Morning After Pill. Their report points the finger at the health services of universities and at the University of Michigan in particular where: "... Doctors have issued the drug without determining the family and individual history of estrogen exposure and cervical or breast cancer and even without attempt to determine whether the patient is already pregnant from a prior intercourse. Most of the women surveyed received no follow-up of any kind after the drug was prescribed, not even to determine if it had prevented pregnancy.” The report continues, “Women are not asked key medical questions which bear on the amount of rish they might suffer... college women are being used as guinea pigs.” Many University health service and family planning agencies are also trying to "test out” the effectiveness of natural estrogens to be used as Morning After Pills in place of synthetic DES. But experts in hormonal cancer have repeatedly stated that the best available information suggests that all estrogens (female hormones) given at comparable doses and for comparable periods of time as DES would cause the same carcinogenic effects. "Addition of any artificial estrogen beyond the natural estrogen produced in the body disrupts a natural balance which even under ideal conditions is precarious, demonstrated by the fact that 1 of each 16 women will develop breast cancer during her lifetime," said Dr. Roy Hertz at a Congressional hearing on DES in November, 1971. Hertz also stated, “Actually our inadequate knowledge concerning the relationship of estrogens to cancer in women is comparable with what was known about the association between lung cancer and cigarette smoking before extensive epidemiologic study delineated this overwhelmingly significant relationship.” Advocates for Medical Information (AMI) in Ann Arbor, * Michigan conducted a survey of 69 women who were given the Morning After Pill - most of them at the University of Michigan. Although most of the so — men were warned that DES might cause nausea - and it does (many women vomit violently for a day or two)-as well as providing a tremendous shock to the women’s system, only five were warned about a cancer danger to their offspring. None were informed of suspected cancer hazards to themselves. Doctors who prescribed DES asked only three of the women their family medical histories, in spite of the fact that a family history of cervical car breast cancer is a known contraindication for approved use of DES. Only four out of 64 women were given pregnancy tests or questioned about possible pregnancy from previous intercourse before being given DES, although EES could not end such pregnancies and could cause cancer in the fetuses. Only ten women were questioned about other personal exposure to estrogens, such as birth control pills. And only seven women were informed that the Morning After Pill was an unapproved use of DES. For over 75% of the women given DES there were no follow-up examinations either for short-range side effects or to see if they had become pregnant. The Health Research Group's report says that prescriptions for the Morning After Pill can be obtained by phone in Washington. A doctor recommended by a public pregnancy counseling service agreed to prescribe it with no questions whatsoever about the patient - and no warning about the risks. Even though the FDA has not approved the use of DES in the MAP, it hasn’t done anything towards preventing it from being used on women. Last November at the Congressional hearings on DES, when asked “Is there a special urgency that FDA require all investigational work on this drug be strictly controlled?” a doctor for the FDA answered, “Yes, no question about it." But the FDA has been sitting back idly while women continue to exposed to this carcinogen. The Health Research Group is concentrating their energies on putting pressure on the FDA to take action against the Morning After Pill as well as urging universities to inform their female students about DES and to stop the health services from using it. But although that's a start, university students aren’t the only victims and far too few women are even aware of the dangers of DES.

The New York Times came out with it yesterday - (Government Inspection of Hot Dogs.) I feel happy about being inspected. It’s a long dream come true. My children won’t come home from the factory made of Pig’s feet, guts, tail, etc. My wife can have that operation on her leg for the removal of the cigarette “butt" and the inspectors should have a look at me, because I think I am made of something communicable...” “I’m so happy, I am going to tell the good news to my friend, ‘John Hamburger.” "Now I feel sad for horses.” THE CRIER-Feb. 22, 1973-10 Pictures talk. Some little boys don't. Some inner-city ghettos have special schools. For little boys who don’t talk. Not mute little boys. But children so withdrawn, so afraid of failure, they cannot make the slightest attempt to do anything at which they might fail. Some don’t talk. Some don’t listen. Most don’t behave. And all of them don’t learn. One day someone asked us to help. Through Kodak, cameras and film were distributed to teachers. The teachers gave the cameras to the kids and told them to take pictures. And then the miracle. Little boys who had never said anything, looked at the pictures and began to talk. They said “This is my house.” “This is my dog.” “This is where I like to hide.” They began to explain, to describe, to communicate. And once the channels of communication had been opened, they began to learn. We’re helping the children of the inner-city. And we’re also helping the adults. We’re involved in inner-city job programs. To train unskilled people in useful jobs. What does Kodak stand to gain from this? Well, we’re showing how our products can help a teacher-and maybe creating a whole new market. And we’re also cultivating young customers who will someday buy their own cameras and film. But more than that, we’re cultivating alert, educated citizens. Who will someday be responsible for our society. After all, our business depends on our society. So we care what happens to it. Kodak More than a business. Supreme Court upholds govt. secrecy WASHINGTON (LNS)-In a recent ruling, the United States Supreme Court upheld the governmental privilege to withhold information from the public simply by classifying it "secret” or “top secret.” The 5 to 3 decision turned back a bid by 33 congress-people to use the 1967 Freedom of Information Act to force the government to reveal overclassified information. The case began in 1971 when Representative Patsy Mink (D-Hawaii) and 32 other congress people were unsuccessful in trying to force Nixon to release an interdepartmental report on the underground nuclear test scheduled for Amchitka information did not warrant a "top secret” classification and suggested that the administration give it such a classification only to keep the public from knowing the possible dangers of the blast. The Pentagon Papers case provides an even more shocking example. The release of the Papers, the government’s secret history of US involvement in Southeast Asia, dramatically revealed how the “secret” or “top secret” stamp can be used to keep the public from knowing what the government is really up to. Unpopular decisions and situations (a result of either governmental blunder or intentional deception) can be withheld from the general public, as well as Congress, until it is too late for anyone to do anything, simply by making the information classified. This newest court ruling overturned a District of Columbia Court of Appeals decision which held that only certain parts of a document should be withheld and that the government must make papers available to a judge who would determine if some of the con- Is the consumer as concerned as he’s supposed to be? People at The Travelers Insurance Companies believe the answer is “yes.” And, they back up that opinion by reporting that more than 50,000 consumers took advantage of a toll-free telephone service to ask pertinent questions about insurance. In 1971 The Travelers set up its Office of Consumer Information and offered to answer questions about insurance, whether the questions involve The Travelers or not. Eighteen months and 50,000 inquiries later, the Hartford, Conn. - based insurer has put together a booklet of questions, and answers, derived from the most frequently-asked questions in their Office of Consumer Information. Most of the questions relate to automobile insurance like ‘What is No-Fault insurance?" The Travelers answer is: “Under No-Fault coverage your insurance company would pay promptly for medical expenses, lost wages and other economic losses up to specified limits. “The other driver’s company would pay his economic losses, regardless of who is at tents could be made available to members of congress. In reversing the Appeals Court ruling, the Supreme Court created a situation in which federal agencies can decide, without review, what in- fault. Within the limits of a No-Fault plan it becomes unnecessary to determine who is at fault before compensations are made. “In other words,’ No-Fault Auto Insurance meets the consumer’s need for prompt and certain payment of claims. Another thing, it can provide immediate relief from spiraling auto insurance costs. Estimates for first-year savings range from 10 percent to 15 FOR SALE: 1966 Toyota Corona sedan.

Douglass in his dissenting report, “makes the stamp sacroscant, thereby immunizing stamped documents per cent under some No-Fault plans.” A Travelers spokesman says, “We are not giving the consumer short shrift by not trying to answer questions in full detail. We have found that most people want only a short, simple answer. But, we are ready to supply complete detailed explanations to those who want them.

Keep in mind that Broome is ranked No. 1 in Region 3. Coming came on with a tough defense and promptly went into the lead. Both teams put on a press, but Coming’s offense broke their’s down. At the half Broome was tailing Coming 19 to 28. The Barons came back in the second half and held on to their lead, increasing it to a 15 point margin with five minutes and 32 seconds left in the game. Then Broome came back with a half court trap press that kept Corning from getting across the mid-court line. With four minutes left Broome moved into the lead 56-55. From then on it was a disaster for Coming. Broome came out the victors by a 66-61 margin. However, the Barons gave them a game which they will not soon forget. Mike Felix was high scorer with 18. Backing him up were Gerald Parker with 14, Pat Richardson — 13, Bill Drake - 10, Pudge Breitwise - 4, and Don Stoudmire, 2 points. The Barons shot 50% from the field to send the Onondaga Community College Braves home defeated. Coming quickly achieved a 22-6 lead and then kept on going. The Braves just couldn’t compete against the offense or defense Corning set up. At the half it was CCC-63 and OCC-28. In the second half Kevin Kenney, from Onondaga, started hitting, but it was too late. He had 26 points - his team had 55 - the Barons had 105. Pat Richardson pumped in 23, Jim Byrnes was close behind with 21, Gerald Parker had 15, and Mike Felix had 10. Pudge Breitwise had 9 assists and Mike Felix had 5 steals. It all adds up to an easy victory for the Barons. In the latest outings, the CCC cage team defeated the Geneseo Frosh 83-74 and bowed to the Cortland JV team in a close game-69-65. The loss brought the Red Baron record to 13-11.

Barons 2-1 in Quad The Mat and I Since the dawn of mankind, man has had the urge to expound his excess energy. Wars, fighting with your wife and wrestling have been the most notable. Acting as an amateur George Plimpton, this reporter went to observe, to record, and to wrestle the C.C.C. wrestling team in practice. Before the action began, I interviewed Coach John Polo on the training techniques of wrestlers. “It takes discipline - discipline of the mind and of the spirit,” Polo said. “If the wrestler can go without eating for two days except life-savers for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, he can do anything.” I asked Coach Polo what he thought the most important aspect of wrestling was. He told me, "to be in shape. If you're not in shape you can’t last for the full 8 minutes on the mat." By this time the sounds of bones cracking and grunts coming from the exercise room could be plainly heard. With a fatherly show of display, Coach Polo opened the door of the wrestler’s room. What I saw next made me remember that I had forgotten something in the locker room. For standing in the middle of the mat was "Little Emad Faddoul.” He did not look at all as he did in the Commons laughing and talking. But now, he was slowly gesturing and mumbling something of “Bon zai.” The day is over. All is gone and done. But all I have to say is, “Be proud C.C.C. wrestling team, C.C.C. students are with you!"

Bird beats Fly Foster challenges Foreman “I would love to meet George Foreman,” says Bob Foster. "I know I can beat him. I’m faster, more experienced and I’ve got a good punch too.” Foster's comments on the Frazier-Foreman fight was that he was “surprised”. “He wasn't the same Frazier,” the 34-year old boxer claimed. One thing the six-foot 3 1/2 inch Foster believes is that Mohammed Ali would tear Foreman apart. "I don’t think Foreman could even hit Ali in a forty round match!” Last November Ali stopped Foreman in a Nevada fight. Maybe Ali will get his chance to finish off Foreman soon. Ali says "I'm still the champ."
