Shafer Speaks On Friday, November 7, the M&G interviewed Governo r Ray * mond P . Shafer at the Geisinger Medical Center where he spent three days for his annual physic* al examination. The following is the result of that interview: When asked to express his per * sonal feelings on' the Vietnam Moratorium , the Governor replied : "I think it's going in the wrong direction to meet the goals of most of the individuals who even participate in it . I think it has three very serious defects , sofar as our way of life is concerned . I' m not talkin g about OUR way of life, I' m talkin gabout representative government — government with the consent of the governed, fr eedom for individuals . "One is that it's attem pting to establish Foreign Policy through str eet demonstration; and the day that our Forei gn Policy is decided by mass protest or mass meetin gs is the day that freedom will be lost for everybody. "The second ver y serious defect is that the vast majority of individua ls who agree to participate in the Moratorium , I think , are well-meanin g and wellintentioned; but they are being used by a group of small , selfish political activists who are using the Moratorium not because they really want peace , but because they want to destro y America , Because they are fighting against the very Institutions that we're tr ying to pre serve and make better . "Ana uie unra , ana uus is a ver y serious defect of the Mora torium , is this: We're giving aid and comfort to a nation that Is fightin g our boys , killing our boys. I don't think we should give aid and comfort to the enemy. Why isn't some of this energ y directed to North Vietnam; do you ever see any street demonstrations in North Vietnam against their policy? THEY wouldn't permit it, Do you see any demonstrat ion against the fact that South Vietnam is tr ylngto have its own self •determ ination when it's being infiltrated from the North — they don't demonstrate again st that , do they? All they do is attem pt to undermine thevery foundat ions of our government which I think is a very serious defect; and, in my opinion, this does more ha rm than almost anythi ng else that could happen. You can 't disagree with the right to dissent , of course , we all have that right and should have it; but there 's a great deal of difference between dissent and destruction , — both physical, mora l, and spiritual . I don't want to have anything to . do with any group that would, in any way. give aid and comfort to the enemy, I think President Nixon put it very well when tie said wt can 't lose the war militaril y, but we can lose It at home by havin g divisions here . I think that he outlined in hi* most recent speech a ver y candid, frank appraisal of the ¦itutaion; and I think that th e- vast majorit y of American * are behind hi*determin edeffort to brin g peace to the worl d'' The next question dealt with re* cent speeches by Vice Presid ent Agnew, and some of the controversial phrases which have come out of the Vice Presiden t's much critici zed rhet oric . The Govern or replied as follows: "I' m not going to attem pt to tell the Vice President or the what language he President should or should not use. You cannot disagree with the basic principle behind the speech, which was tha t we should not have government by mass-demonstra * tion. At no time did he say he was against dissent; but I think that he was attem pting , perha ps in language that you and I would NOT use, to brin g to the attention of the world tha t the militant minorities that we see so often on television and read so much about.in our news media , do not repre sent the basic thinkin g of out countr y. He did not call everybody involved in the Moratorium that name (ed.jaote: l.e. impudent snobs, etc.); he was talkin g about some of the individuals whom he has seen first hand . He will have to speak for himself on the choice of words that he used. " The third question concerned the anti-Morat orium demonstrations, and wheth er or not the use of demonstrati on against demonstration is good policy. "There 's nothin g wrong, per se, about demonstra tion; but I don't think that they ought to form policy. If the only way you're going to counte ract an anti-American movement, which I think some movements can be, such as the SDS group who said they're going to have violence, is to show stren gth there ' s nothin g wrong with that as long as it's peaceful . I prefer a much more wise path on both sides. Those people who really want peace — why don't they go to church? Fill the churches every Sunday — have a serv ice ever y Sunday and work towar d peace. "I think that it's well f or us , for all citizens to show their sup* port of the President in any way they feel as long as It 's apeaceVt6ntinuod on page eight) Mr. Donald Bashoro of the' Psychology Depart ment will •peak to the Psychology Club on the su b|ect of "Hypno sis" .

To the select few of the BSC faculty: Foor quite some time I have been extremely upset over the apathetic of a small , but important (as all those who contr ibute to a learnin g situatio n are necessar y) segment of the instructors at BSC . I am tired of mere ly going to classes and putt ing in time — not gaining any knowled ge — tak ing up space in a classroom while my mind remains unchallenged . Airi gnt ,< so I'm in elementar y education — tha t is no reason to slight my intellectual capacity . Some of the concepts you instructors tr y to leed us are jus t deplora ble; they actually insult our intelligence . It is not only elementary education majors that are confronted with this frustrating situation — it is encroaching on all fronts of our academic communit y.I don't want to be -. good teacher — I want to be th e best teacher . I have had some excellent education courses but I 'm scare d because of the inadequate preparation.!' ve had in some vital subj ects. Let me clarify somethin g — I don 't want my prof essors to be my budd y or my pals . I can find those anywhere . I want to respect them and have this respect be mutual . I want to know that if 1 need help I can rely on their guidance. It» s nice for the m to discuss and rel ive maud lin tea ching experiences — but why talk TO us? Why not WIT H us? If that' s what they want , its fine with me — but why not provide for independent study courses ; institure a policy of unlimited cuts ; challen ge us and let us have the opportunit yto express ourselves creative ly and not be made to exist for four years in what could easily become an intellectiinTlv I^^W^B^B J ^ sfifline 1 environment . We to are PEOPLE , yes , eager t o learn all we- can - not just be taught , Anyone can be tau ght but it takes a conscientious teacher to be able to instill the desire to learn and th en create the proper learning situation. It ' s not only elementary students that have to be motivated! Don't depri ve us of what you have to of. fer . W e seniors can not relive the past — its gone — we've already passed through . Stop and take a long introspective look within yourself . It' s not too late to plan for future stud ents — to utilize your resources and start pouring into the minds of students all you can— so they can reflec t and question and learn, We want to learn and need desperately to be guided by those learned individuals who want to help us gain all the knowledge we can . Stop obscurin g information (how iron ical ' — they tel l us that ; yet, in exams we are faced with questions relating to materia l we haven'Ube en exposed to!) and try to realize how vital you are to Vi^v n ^ > hv^v^b^ ^^v ^^p v — * w^v ™ w ^ ^m ^ ^ ¦ i ^^ ^ ^ *^» the college community . If we'r e wastin g your time then please move on and let someone who wants to help us lefern take your place . Perha ps I lack the insight gained only by experience to understand why some professors are so lethargic; but , if I' ve appeared to be too cr itical , think again and I too shall reflect . I've had some-quite a few-excellent pro fessors at Bloomsburg, Encoura ging men and women who have wanted to help me learn; who guided me to discovery . These people have contributed much to making me a socialized , thinking , feeling human being. To them , I say "t hank-you for unconsiciously makirtg up for those who just didn 't care." N o names are necessar y — those who hide behind a facade know . Yet , I can only wonder whether such insight will help them become more con*r cerned. I onlv wish I could reach out and let them know there are those that care — perhaps I can do so by writing this . The one ironical fact which bothers me is that initi ally they are hurting us students; but . in the final analysis , they will discover that the only persons who have been cheated are themselves , v I felt such a need to express my own feelings— an imperative , if not urgent desire . I mean no ill respect for I greatly admire th e learned menand women of our college. Yet , I think human compassion and understanding must not be neglected — ever . Sincerely , S.L .C . VOL.

WEDNE __AROON&G OLD ¦ -_ s£_i ¦HP ^W® • rs^vjj a :MBER 12. 1969 Gone Off to Look For America > " Easy Rider " is a film about hip-America done almost entirely by two of this country 's hipest film makers , Peter Fonda, (right) and Dennis Hoppe r, (left) . Fonda , who star s as a modern Captai n America n with a fancy motorcycle , produced the flick. Hopper wh o plays Fonda 's Sancho Panza , was the director. Both teame d up with Terry Southern to write the screenplay. "Easy Rider " has been billed as a film about "a man (who) vent looking for Americ a and coul dn 't find it anywh ere. " Don't believe it. What Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopp er found on their motorcyc le trip betw een San Francisco and New Orle ans was must defini tely America , the same America tha t Joe Buck , the "Midnigh t Cowboy " found in New York. It» s the Americ a that we all ignore and clai m is nonexistant. It 's the Americ a that .assissinated thre e of our most notable leader s and mad e blacks second class citizens . Its the de facto Americ a of KKK ' s and Joiin Bircher s, not the de jure America of rights and constitu tions. x Auao uga ootn nims offer a similar , commentar y on "amer ican charac ter " , the conclusions are antitheti cal. The American in '?Easy Rid er " is an unr elenting bigot right up to the film 's cata clysmic final e. The American in "Midni ght C owboy ", however , cops out in the end and becomes Joe Buck ' s only solace f rom the desolation of New York , a desolation thai Americ ans cre ated.' Joe Buck , protr ayed by newcomer John Voight , is a Texas dishwasher , janitor , etc., who trave ls to- New York to make it big as a stud. Unfortu nately , his line of work is in no great demand. Subsequentl y, he is beaten, starvin g, and ends up selling himself to homosexua ls. However , he is oiveci by a rather noxious character , R atso Rl zzo, Dustin Hoffman , who feeds him . shares his room in a condemned hotel , and eventuall y gives him a good sta rt in his chosen profession. *Thus , developes -one of the stra ngest love aff airs in cinema history. Ratso dreams of dying in the Miami sun while Joe Buck pr oclaims that , "he ain't no cowA l l*. • __ •_ • 1¦_ A* * . —— boy but he's one hell of a stud. " Neithe r of the m make .it. R atso dissipates to a point where he caii*t walk and J oe becomes more degenerate . It ' s an ugly story, but it' s not rea lly any different than the realit yof the Time Square-42nd Stree t area with its ugly stores and people. Throughout the entire film the filthy decayed mouth of New York yawns at the audience and makes you dizzy with its " i bad br eath. . The view of America isn 't greatly different in "Easy Rider " . Although the "broken white line " footage of red canyons and green farms gives a hint b* "America the beautiful " , the small towns with their small town minds are just as ugly as the New Yorkers in "Midnight Cowboy " . The film , written , produced , directed , an d starr ing hip super stars Peter Fond a and Dennis Hopper, is comprised of a motorcycle trip from San Francisco ' to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras .

"A source of pride and distinction f or thi s college has been the appearance , not only of the campus, but of the student body. In my short time her e, the appearance of our students has brought numerous favora ble responses. It was certainly a major observation I made when I first visited the campu s,. "I well know the need for and the dlsirabillty of students to establish their own mode of dress and to govern the code when it is established. Therefore , I am in full sympathy with the action tak en on October 30. At the same time, I hope and trust that students will not abuse the privilege , that they will recognize that there is a responsibility they carry as students of this college; that wherever they go or wherever they are seen , to a great extent, the college will be Judged by them.

We have been delayed in this area because of new change s being made in the judiciary system which may have some bear , ing on our Statement.
