Nossen indicted by Gran d J ur y Coed Housing d eadline is exten ded The deadline for app lication to the co-ed residence hall scheduled to open next fall has been extended to Wed., April 19, according to Mr. John Zarski , director of housing. Applications are available at all residence halls and at the Housing Office locate d in 214 Waller Hall. The application is intended to find out who is interested in living in Luzern e Hall which is under consideration for co-ed housing . The one page app lication will also indicate what students expect from this new environment . To date , few app lications have been received altho ugh a survey of the residence halls by the Committee on Co-Educational Living showed tha t a majorit y of the students favored this typ e of living situation . Because of the interest expressed by the students , the Housing Committee investigated further the possibility of incorporating a co-educational residence hall in the camp us housing accommodations for Sept. 1972. Mr. Zarski stated that 300 applications are needed to fill Luzerne Hall for next September. If 300 requests are not received by the deadline the entire co-ed housing plan will be abandoned and the Housing Committee will be forced to devise another plan in a short period of time.

" Having subjecte d myself to the same three and a half hour exercise in futility as Mr. Fenster macher , I couldn't helpbut ask myself the same question. Is the BSC Board of Trustees a viable and necessar y body? Judging from its makeup, the subjects with which it concerns itself, and the manner in which it carries on its activities ^th e answer can only be an emphatic "No "! In theory, the Board of Trustees is a group of locally prominent people entrusted with representing the taxp ayers ' investment in the college. The Board is also supposed to act in the best intere sts of the college and the students for whom the college exists. Does theory hold true? Not by any stretch of the imagination. The trustees are usually local politician s who have been awarded their "political plum " trusteeships by grateful governors whom they have helped elect. Do the trustees keep the taxpayers and students uppermost in their n\inds? Judge for yourself. Take the March 24 meeting when trustee Frank Croop tried to stop the reappointment of Dr. Griffis , Vice-President for Student Life. Did Croop try to get Griffis because Griffis has done more good things for the Office of Student Life in one year than his predecessor did during his whole tenure? Did Croop try tc get rid of Griffis because Griffis uses openness , friendliness and understanding when dealing with students , whereas his predecessor never used much more than fear and intimidation? Or did Croop try to get rid of Griffis because he and Griffis ' predecessor , Elton Hunsinger , happen to be fr iends an d allies? The answers to all these questions , aside from being obvious, point to the fact that the trustees usually represent no one but themselves and their political cronies. Take the issues with which the Board has concerned itself this year. Much of their time has been spent trying to put the screws to President Nossen. Why? Because he fired, on questionable groun ds, four excellent professors? Or because he accepted the two resignations of 9 wrestling coach who happens to have friends on the Board? Or because he kicked another friend of the Boar d upstairs? Have the trustees been concerned with pr oviding better educational opportunities for BSC students? Or have they been concerned with keeping their friends in power? Again the answers „ are obvious. Again they point to the failure of the trustees to fulfill their duties. Or take the Board' s methods of operation. Becaus e it would have worked to the advantage of their friends , they spent an hour and a half searching for some way to get rid of Dr. Griffis and Mr. Williams. But when a hike in student housing fees was put before them , the Trustees passed it without so much as a question. Perhaps the Board of Trustees does fulfill some purpose. It provides the college with a traditional link with the more genteel days gone by. It looks good to have nine "successful " men on the stage at graduation . But when the Board tries sticking its collective nose into affairs it knows nothing about , when the trustees start using their positions to further their own interests and the interests of their friends , then they constitute nothin g but a threat to the educational integrity of this college. jim sachetti Lett er Dear Sir , It was with grea t dismay, but some understandi ng that I observed the Mar oon and Gold' s descrip tion of my conduct at the meeting of the Platf orm Committee of the Democra tic Mock Conventi on.

HOFFMAN -STRAW DDDS" Director Sam Peckinpah , famed for his exciting motion pictures of life in the American West, has now sought out the British West (The Cornish coast) Cor his latest , most unusual film , "Straw Dogs", a shocking drama starring Dustin Hoffman and Susan Georg e, now playing at the Capitol , has been thought of as a man out of his time . As Hoffman said in a recent interview , "It' s ironic that Sam is alive now, a gunfighter in an age when we're flving to the moon." As a result of his film , "The Wild Bunch ," an unparalleled violent classic , Peckinpah became a "cult" director. Today he is the acknowledged master of his horses but he's kept his bad films of the Wester n genre and guys for "Straw Dogs".

Enz In the 1920's prohibition stopped the legal consumption of alcohol , but the law failed terribl y in its purpose because .it went against the population 's opinion that liquor consumption should be legal. Today mere is another intoxicant which the public is depri ved of, marijuana . Since 1893 - 94 studies have been made by governm ental and private concerns to evaluate the detrimental affects of "pot ." Toda y these concerns are still trying to find an excuse for not legalizing marijuana , but these agencies find that their research reaffirm s the findings of other past agencies : "There is no evidence of any weight regarding mental and moral injury from moderate use of marijuana ," ( India Hemp Drugs Commission , 1894.) To comba t governmental and private opinions tha t marijuana should be illegal and persons using or possessing this "dru g" should be heavily prosecuted , an organization was formed , National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws , NORML. This organization does "not advocate the use of mar ijuana ," but what it does advocate is the decriminalization of the "drug. '' They see, no reason for a person to get a criminal record and up to life in prison for using v or "holding " marijuana when studies have thus far shown no legal or moral justification for such penalties. A strong ar gument for marijuana use *is that research and statistics show alcohol more harmful. More crimes , more deaths and more social problems are crea ted by alcohol than are by using "pot. " NORML feels that it is time for the unexcusabl y heavy penalties for use or possession of "pot" be reviewed and a more lenient law imposed. They feel a program designed agains t the "pusher " is NORML more practical and that hard drug sales should be the prime target of law enforcemen t agencies. There are many backers of a reform program (six presidentia l candidates included ) similar to that - which NORML proposes. The most pr ominent view is for "eliminating criminal penalties for private use of marijuana... " for Intereste d persons marijuana law reforms should write: NORML , 1237 22 Street .
