For some course s three weeks isn't enough time for proper coverage of the material. The school will also be able to utilize its facilities better. With the present 3-6-3 pattern , in a thre e week session , all fifty classrooms are filled in the morning therefore only fifty courses can be offered. But in one six week session there can be a total of 200 offerings. Statistically , most students come for six credits a session and thirty per cent of the students are here in the summer for graduate instruction . Both factors show a need for six week summer sessions. Why isn't the chan ge this year? Chan ging the program this year wouldn 't give the students or the facult y enough time for planning . This way everyone is given a full year ahead to plan. Delaying the change will also permit assessment of the effects of the (continued on pagt eight ) Ch ild Birth Fl ick Shown by Karen Keinard Last W ednesday November 4 at 7:00 p.m. an educational film on childbirth was shown in Carver Hall .

UN Hits 25th by Brenda Knelly "Un like Its predecessor , the League of Nations which had passed into old age and senility at 25 and oblivion the next year , the Unite d Nations today is very much alive and alm ost everybody wants it to go on." This Is the impression ot a group of Political Science students ot the Bloomsburg State College after spending a day at the world organization 's headquarters in New York on November 5. The tri p was arranged by Professor Prakash C . Kapll in conjunction with the 25th Anniversar y of the Unite d Nations . It was Thursday , a typically middle of the week hectic day in the life of Americans . Yet , at least a thousan d visitors could be seen in the U. N. building at an y given mo'ment of the day. Th ere were severa l grou p s of school children. There were the adults. The main entrance hall was seething with people, and the U. N. bookstor e, the UNICEF desk , the U. N. Post Office, the souvenir shops, and the three feeder lines at the cafeteria were all ver y busy. If a feeling had grown lately that the U. N. has been suffering from neglect , there was no evidence of it on that day in the halls of Its headquarters. The public galleries of t h e conference room , where t h e Political Committee o f t h e United Nations was parleying on the heavy questions of the world arms and their control , were J ammed. You sat down If you could find a seat , donned the ear phone and flipped the switch to listen in to the simultaneous ini n t o English , ter pretations Fre nch , and Russian languages of the diplomats words , If you did not care to hear him In the original . The mood of the high diplomatic assembly could only be descr ibed as sombre , dignified , august , and public. Diplomacy tradlonally conjures up the spectre of a cloak-and-dagger game played by hard-headed and tough-minded representatives of governments . Witnessing the Political Affairs CcfTnmlttee In session gave the appearance that Woodrow Wilson' s call for "open covenants , openly arrived at " has finally been answered , though It is said by some observers that the har d bar gains are still struck more informally before their public discussion. The point was well underscored by the quality of diplomats B.S .C . students had opportunity to meet with for an Informal in-de pth briefin g. They all weTe vocal, eloquent , and eager t o convince the listener ot the sincerity of their position. H er e was a representa tive ot the Public Affair s Division of the United States Permanent Mission to the United Nations: young ,handsome , and a public speaker , par excellence. Here were the four members of India 's delegation to this session of the United Nati ons: th ree members of P arl iamen t an d one a universit y professor— all personable and read y speakers. United Nations ? Here is a brief balance-sheet: The U.N. as a peace-kee per of t he worl d can clai m only a success. qualified severel y There have been 55 Infract ions of peace around the worl d since the birth of the organ ization . The U.N. could not prevent them from occurring. Neverthele ss, the pacifying role of the world body in Korea , Cyprus , Middle East , the Congo, Kashmir cannot be easily dismissed. The Korean conflict was fought and brought to a halt under the Unite d Nations banner. Since 1964 , a U.N. peace-kee ping force has kept the Cyprlot Greeks and Turks apart . U.N. ' diplomats and soliders have played a vital role betwee n the Arab countries and Israel since the latter' s creat ion In 1Q4A In Kinshasha (for merly , the Congo), U.N. forces not onlj succeeded In preventing a cold war militar y confrontation , but was instrumental , throu gh the United Nations Civilian Administration , In creatin g a viable nation * The United Nations helped brin g about stoppage of hostilities In Kashmir In 1948 and again In 1945. These are no mean achievements for an Internationa l organizat ion whose work was predicated on the unreal ized hope of continuing cooper ation among the members of the grand alliance of World War II .

Pizzo li When there are two grou ps sharin g different opinions abou t a subject , at a certain point their differences concernin g ideas are blown out of proportion. When the differences are str etched out of shape the n the groups perception of each other is unrealistic. This unrealistic perc eption of the other side who differs with ya in th ought brings on a certain plan of attack which wouldn 't normally be used if communica ti ons were used. The plan of attack follows a pattern: one group must consistentl y clobber the other until they see thin gs the right way. One group claims tha t their action s are for the benefit of alleven th e other grou p. Someday our oppone nts will come to see thin gs our way . Wh en thi s plan of atta ck J ust described Is completed then one side claims victory. Wron g. Victory Is not mak- VOL. IL ing all one 's opponents see things his way but rather study one 's opponents and seeing why they feel the way they do. You might discover something ver y Interesting: the crite ri a of two different groups might possibly be the same - to help matters. J ust their methods differ. After understanding thi s It would be possible to find areas where the methods coincide and that would be a starting point for cooperation . If cooperation is given a startin g point and you have faith in It something good might happen. By cooperati on one should not think of "stoolles , backsliders , dupes , (a well-employed wor d around here for those who take a stand on either side of an issue )," or anythn g that denote s compr omise. Cooperation to anyone should spell concern for a common goal and workin g togeth er to achieve it.

Working on the assum p tion that this paper doesn 't have an y, I'll continue. Every year a handf ul or two of typically anti-social , pseudo-intellectuals get together to exercise their collective ego for the express purpo se of elevating themselve s into a higher (In their opinion) social stratum than their fellow students. Lacking the means to do this in any socially permissable manner , they take to subversive activity . They publish the (fanfare , roll of drums , thunder and lightning) Olympian . Many people are totally unaware of the existence or purpose , much less the delights , of this d e v i c e . The Olympian Is t o t a l l y unlike any experience you 've ever had. It Is extremely usefu l, being port able and small enou gh so that It doesn 't consume too much space. Furt h ermore , it Is very easy to keep. It is faithful and eats practically nothing. It will rewar d any pro ud possessor with man y an hour of romantic enjoyment . A wor d about what the Olympian can do for you.

We incorpora ted more art work this year and tried color for the first time. Apologies are due to Kathy Gentille , our cover ar ti st , for the terr ibly botched- up cover.

Harris Wolfe LETTER Dear Editor , On a panel discussion wi h a self-styled radical editor of a college newspaper some year s ago , I was offered a distinction between radical and liberal which I though t correct then , and still think valuable in the light of recent deve lopment s on this cam p us . According to Frank , a liber al is a chap who believes that on any given I ssue , a few people have made up their minds pro and con , but the vas t majority are still undecided and can be swayed to one side or another by appropriate rational ar gument . Also accordi ng to my frie nd a radical is a man who believes that most people have already made up their minds when you come to talk about an Issue , and the few In the middle can be ignored on the grounds that they e it her cannot or w ill not get involved . Rational arg ument Is irrelevant under such circum stances : one spea ks solely to denigrate the opp osition in order to cheer up one ' s own troo ps. Given these d efi n it ions , for example , a liberal would run a college newspape r by offering a wide range of viewpoints , with the expectation that the undecided middle could be informed and 'em alone. Let 's get back an' get ourselves a beer. ** "No , they look like Cong to me , I'm goln' to get 'em. " •«Rocko ya can 't tell what they are. Let's get back. " "No , I'm goin' down , I haven 't done any huntin ' in a while .*' One of the plane s break s for ma tion . The four women In the field look up In tim e to see a single American plane diving at them. Wing guns thumping , the plane makes one pass at the field and pulls up. "Not bad Rocko , three outta four ain 't bad. " "Yeah , let' s go get that beer .*' For those of you who still believe that America is waging a limited and just war in Southeast Asia , I offer the following reminder: armies are made up of men , human beings who , under adverse conditions , often find It ver y hard to be limited and just. Men who a' times , even find some sort of fuflllment in war. For those of you who think that the story you 've just read Is noth ing more than my Imagination wor king overti me , I offer the following quote from the November 2 Issue of TIME magazine : "Despite the promising pro gress of the South Vietnamese air force , some U.S. airmen are reluctant to give up an American combat role . "My men grum ble that they are frustrated— that there are no good targets left any more ," says one U.S. Air Force wing commander . "But I always remind them of the plight of pilot s back in the states. •Let 's face It' I tell the m, 'Viet Nam is the only place In the world today where you can dro p real bombs .*" persua ded . Thus , wheth er one agrees with him or not , one can recognize a liberal by the simple fact of his involvement in the process of rational persua sion. What some people consider conservative in political terms would , by this definition , be liberal in inte llectua l terms , pro vided only that the conservative point of view be pre sented rationally in the full hope and expectation of consent from an au di ence open to rat ional appeals , willing to give up a wrong position and come over to rat iona l app eals, willing to give up a wrong position and come over to the right side (no pun intende d here , the situation at B.S.C . is too grave for trivia ). I might add that it has been my pl easur e to encounter a num bero f very bright , sub t le conservat ive thinkers on this campus , a most stimulating Intellectual exper ience form. But given these definitions one reco gnizes a ra di cal , not by any New Leftism or Old Rightism , but by his contempt for and disbelief in the entire process of rat ional persuasion . His resort to blatant propagand a comes about thr ough his absolute disbelief in the posslblity of intellectua l convers ion . It Is a sad thin g to have to say that there are a num ber of radicals on this cam pus , sneer ing at one another from lef t to r ight In the columns of t he Maroon & Gold , f or exam pl e. E ven more sign ifi cant are th e hordes of non-involved , cardplaying members of this community who refuse to get Into anything because they think , "What' s the use , y ou can 't figh t city hal l here?" These are the true radical s , taking the ultimate copout posture In despai r . Anyone on this campus who , by blocking procedures of rationa l change and frustrating faith In established pro cesses of justice , frus trate s and defeats previously Involved students so that the y lose faith in the system , Is there by partially responsible for the cr eation of rad icalism at Bloomsburg State College . John McLau ghlln, En glish Department I I I I Fif th Col umn by Blass About my jigger: the following is a parody of the old essay contests we used to get at Southern Area High School , you know the type , both the high school and the essays. The high school was , well , a high school , complete with ruling s like "no open display s of - affection between classes." I never could fl gger whether they meant you weren 't spozed to show affection , or the classes wer en 't spozed to. Like the only fun I reme mber was going to pep rallies to listen to the p.a. syste m screw up and shoot feedback . Yeah, and then there were the essay contests. Like the DAR 's. "Letter from a Soldier Crossing the Delaware With Washington to A Soldier in Viet Nam. " Love ly, ain 't it? Well, the following, considerably moderniz ed now , was what I submitted to the DAR , and I got no pr izes, for some stran ge reasons. Since then the DAR has taken a stand against anti-pollution , cuz as we all know the ecologists are Commies ; yes, the DAR has gone on to better things . So have I , having migrated from high school underground to college over — hmmm. Anyway , picture this: a soldier with the original Marthakumquatter is crossing the Delaw are. He has just finished his note to me, Blass, 1970, a possible candidate for Viet Nani butchery. He has advised me to shoot my commanding officer and run like hell. All he needs do is put the letter in the buoy in hope I'll find it someday . .. and suddenly a voice cries: What 's that you're writin g, soldier ?" •Tin not writin g it , sir . I'm done , General Washington. " "Good for you. What is It you just finished writing , soldier ?" "-V note. " "You mean 'A note , sir !'" "A note , sir!" "A note to who? " "To whom , sir.

"The United State s? " "That 's what you're going to call this nation once we win , sir. " "I am , am I? " "You are , sir. " "Back to this Vealed Ham ..." "Uh , that 's Viet Nam , sir.

Just what the hell is the United States of America , as you cal l them , doing fighting a war in some assh ole Asian country? " "That 's a good question , sir , I'm glad you aske d . You see , the 1970 American public doesn 't even know why America is fighting In Viet Nam. Yet thi s war has been going on for almost a decade. " "Do you mean to tell me that the United State s will be under dictatorship that just wages war f or war 's sake, then? " "No sir. No dictatorshi p, that is. I guess." "Then how can a nation be fighting a decade-long war it doesn 't want if it's free? Tell me. soldier! " "They 've had some piss-poor Presidents , sir. Particularly Richard Milhouse Nixton ." "Pre sident? " "Yes, sir. You'll be one, too, in a couple years. The first Americ an President , kind and humble , not letting power go to your head ." " To your head , sir!!" " Yes , sir. Sir!

The United State s has to work with over 125 nations on the basis that they are all sovereign nations and have their own national objectives. Time was "when the United States could count on automatic majorit ies in t h e United States. That was until about 1960 when the United Nations was membered lar gely by white , western nations. Again and African nations today constitute the numerical majo rit y, though by no means a solid , permanen t bloc. We cannot take their support for gra nted.
