McG overn -Hartke ( Foucart Photo ) by Elaine Pongratz "I move that th is convention the unanimousl y acce p t nomination of George McGovern for the office of the Presidenc y," shouted Bob Blair , Chairman of the Simulated Democratic Conven tion. The screams and cheers from the floor made it unanimous as the second ballot proclaimed McGovern 's 738 .vote victory. It was the climax of a very long and exciting day. The Conven tion began a few minutes after 9 on Saturday morning . After bein g called to order by Chairman Blair , it docily followed the agenda through the traditional National Anthem , Pledge of Allegiance and Invocation. Followin g that was the Address of Welcome, given by congressman Daniel J. Flood. The introduction of the keynote speak er was given by a local politician , Kent Shelhamer , and the keynote speaker, Senator Frank Church of Idaho , spoke on the situation of our government today. Challenge The next event was to have been the Report of the Platform Committee , but before the report was presented , Ms. Mary Lou Andris challenged section 5 of the Illinois Delegation on the grounds that its members were chosen unfairly . Illinois , (section 5) was under the chairmanship of John Angela Davis Political priso ner Angela Davis was a last minute addit ion to the list of presidential nominees. Despite the fact that Angela Davis was ineligible due to her age ( 27), not to mention the fact Andris who had stipulated that that she was hardly a registered anyone wishing to join his Democrat , she picked up 73 votes delegation must sup port Angela on the first ballot and 46 on the Davis. Following Ms. Andris ' second. She defeated some off the challenge , a motion was made to more "popular " candidates both eject the whole delegation from - times around — a great acthe Convention. A ballot was called for and by a vote of 649 yes to 565 no, section 5 was refused recognition as a delegation , and the right to vote at the Convention. Later a motion was complishmen t for a worth y ruled out of order , but he per- siBtantl y screamed into the microphone to be allowed time to speak. After severa l minutes of th is, Bob Blair slammed the pod ium w i th his gavel and shou t ed "If you open your mouth one more time, I'll have you removed from the Convention!

This time McGovern came out with 738 votes, giving him 117 over the number he needed to be nominated. On the second ballot, Chisholm 's tally climbed to 121 and Wallace fell to 139, The voting in general wasn't as scattered , with the exception of the fact that Truman got 26 more votes, he had 34, which was more than Chur ch, Hartke , Humphrey, Jackson.

This may seem like oldfashioned patrio tism such as isn't in fashion anymore , but I ha ve the highest regard for their imagination and I always have . Wh y, I actuall y think the American people can be made to believe anything.

"—Trick E. Dixon, 1IV71 1711 Seldom has a Presiden t so flagra ntly misled his people as has Rich ard M. Nixon. Seldom has a President so openly played upon his subjects ' paranoias and stupidi ties, or used so much hateful rhetoric to accompli sh so little good. And seldom has a President been so accurately laid to bare waste as Richard "Trick E. Dixon" Nixon has been in Philip Roth 's "Our Gang. " Then again , seldom has a Presiden t given his satirists so much material. Phili p Roth is best known for "Goodbye , Columbus ," "Portnoy's Complaint ," and a unique type of Jewi sh humor which his imitators simply can 't beat. With "Our Gang, " Roth takes a good hard whack at the vagaries of the present administration , with results not in the least heavyhanded. For you see, Roth' s book is barel y disguised truth , and there is no better type of satire than that based firmly in reality, truth , and truth made "perfectly clear "-obscured. The book opens with a totall y straight-faced quote made at San Clemen te on April 3 of last .year. The subject was abortion . The quote went like this : "From personal and religious beliefs I consider abortions an unacceptable form of population control. Furthermore , unrestricted abortion policies, or abortions on demand , I cannot square with my personal belief in the san ctity of human lifeincluding the life of the unborn . For , sur ely, the unborn have rights also, rec ogn ized i n law , recognized even in principl es expounded by the Unit ed Nations. " Roth , having had previous experience with tricky Dicks , uses the above quote as a literal springbo ard , beginning Chapter One wi th Tricky comforting a troubled citizen over puzzling mora l issues provoked by My Lai. Says the citizen , wha t if Lt. Calle y murdered a pregnan t woman , wouldn 't he, and hence President Dixon , then be guilty of violating the rights of the unborn ? C ounterin g w i th logi c i nd icat i ve of t hings to come , Dixon asks , " ...did Lt. Calley, b el i eve t he woman t o b e ' pregnant , or did he , mistakenly, i n t he hea t of t he momen t, assume tha t she was just stout?" And so it begins , t he most clever and diabolic al political satir e since Orwell... By the time Chapter Two rolls a round , things are TOTA LLY absurd. Dixon, busy giv ing press conferen ces on his proposal for fetal right s, shows t rue concern no t merel y for t he unborn , but the mothers a s well. "I assure y ou , th is adm i n i strati on does not i ntend to si t i dl y b y and d o noth i ng while Amer i can women Trick E. Dixon interests , for all his soft-spoken Quaker upbringings , Dixon is a harsh man when it comes to "troublemakers " and "malcontents. " As becomes evident when the Capitol is invaded by squadrons of filthy revolutionaries from that militant organization , the Boy Scouts of America , long fabled for its dens of inequity . It is deep within the President' s secret locker room , and plans are being laid. These Boy Scouts , so obviously outraged by Dixon 's unborn speech , so obviousl y dangerous to the nation 's security , must be stopped at any and all costs , for as Tricky says , "Now it was one thing when those Vietnam soreheads came down here to the Capitol to turn their medals in. Everyone knew they were just a bunch of malcontents who had lost arms and legs and so on, and so had nothing better to do with their time than hobble around feeling sorry for themselves. Of course they couldn 't be objective about the war—half of t hem w er e i n wheelcha i rs because of it. But wha t we ha ve now isn't just a mob of ingrates— t hese are t he B oy Scou t s ...Gentlemen , you can go to war w it h Co ngress ional consen t, you c an ru i n th e ec onom y and trample on the Bill of Rights , but y ou just do not viola t e t he moral code of the Boy Scouts of A mer i ca and ex p ec t to be reelected to the highes t office in the land. " Sure enough , it' s crisis time , a nd heck , this is only Chader Three. Poor Dixon...here is a man to be pitied . He' s onl y doin g wha t i s dictated by his person al belief in t he sanc ti t y of human life , and the Boy Scouts , f or some reason , ar c calling him a dirty old man. No w onder he pleads , "Surely I have tr i ed to gi ve no indica t i on are being kicked in the stomach whatsoever to the people of this by a bunc h of violent five-month- * coun tr y t hat I even know what olds. " Ah yes, for all his humane sexual inte rcourse IS, Fur- thermore , I have instructed my family that they must under no circumstances allow it to appear that any of us have ever in our lives been infected by desire or lust , or , for tha t matter , an appetite for anything at all , outside of political power...if it weren 't for my perspiring so on television , the American people would probabl y have no way in the world of telling that under my clothes I am flesh ." Nevertheless , things look bleak. At one point it is even debated whether Tricky should , for appea rance 's calra nrnclnim hi mself homosexual. Like any morall y decent Presiden t of the United St a t es and Q uaker , Dixon responds with an outraged "I had the courage to call Alger Hiss a Communist. I had the courage to call Khrushchev a bully . I assur e you , I have the coura ge t o call mysel f a queer!" He only changes his mind when he finds out how homosexuals operate . ("Wh y, that' s awful ! That' s disgusting ! You' re makin g t ha t up!" ) No, it is obvious , Dixon has to find some other way. And find it he does. At first it looks like his advisors will rig an other conspiracy. (It worke d so well with the Kerrigans ) . At second i t looks like t rouble for t h ose i nfam ous cons pi rators , "the 5 J' s," Johnn y Carson , Joan Baez , Mayor of New York J ohn L ancelot , J ack i e C har i sma C olossus , and Jimi Hendrix. But Trick E. is a man of good will , and perhaps things are turned •when he inadvertentl y spells H endr i x ' s name "Jimmy. " Realizing he has made an awfu l mistake , he changes the spelling , i n iti alizes t he changes so that It 's official , and pr oceeds to eulogize : "Now I only wish that the wonderful colored people of this countr y could have seen the scru pulosity with which I at( continued on page eight) The Conventi on... ..

"He 's had three and a Democr atic National Convention . half years to disclose it , " said Church , "and I think that 's Chara cterizing Nixon as "the enough .

" C hurch Re publican described the war behind. the leadership in America as " suffering an identi ty crisis " as a result of Nixon 's Wa ge-Price Program . "Every night they kneel down , raise their eyes to heaven and pray: 'Ph ase* I didn ' t last , Phase II didn ' t work , and 0 Lord , spare us from Pha se III ." Church drew shouts of aoproval from the delegates when he said that "watchin g Nixon is like watching a Chinese ping-pong match . " Referring to Nixon 's lack of concern for the little man , Church characterized the Nixon administration as "Herbert Hooverism , computerized. " Church detailed the battle between Democratic and Republican Senators over the controversial SST . "Why spend public money ," he said , "ju st to get the Jet Set to London before they finish their second mar- tini?"

The Simulated Democratic National Conven tion is over but it will remain in the minds of everyone that crowded into Centennial gym on a rainy Saturd ay. It will especially be a memor y for the Steering Commit tee . Only a few of the nearl y 1300 people at the convention were aware of the work of this small group of 25 people. These people have worked on this Convention for over a year. In March 1971, Jim Percey started things off and since then the committee has put in more ho urs than any of us want to think about. .. It's hard (or me to sit down and -write the thoug ht s 1 have in my head about these people. God they 're beautiful.

Decker. Soloists are Mary Decker , soprano; Richard Stainislaw , tenor ; Beth Keefer , mezz osoprano; Tom Curtis , narrat or ; and Jean LeFontes as the Witch of Endor. This composition which began as a series of background pi eces f or a pl a y was later turned into a great orotario by its composer. Honegger describes King David as being a "Symphonic Psalm in Three Parts , " Part I deals with madness and tragedy in Saul's life and the defeat of his arm ies ; David is crowned as King in Part II; and in Part III , we view the reign of King David . Honegger writes highly contrasting dramatic music that beautifully fits the thrilling story of the life of David.

Honegger replied "My inclination and my effort have always been to write music which would be comprehensible to the great mass of listeners and at the same time sufficiently free of b ana li t y to i nterest genu i ne music lovers.

" Amen . Now Trick E. Dixon, aside from being a great conferenceholder and crisis-averter , is also a mean scapegoat-finder. Why, in virtually no time the person respon sible for corrupting the Scouts is found , indeed , named.. .Curt Flood , now in refuge in Copenhagen , capitol of "Pro-Pornography " government . The solution is clear : round up the Boy Scouts, shoot those who attempt anything desperate , like running . Then go on t.v. and just rely on the imagination of the American people. "in all , a total eignt thousand four hundred and sixty-three knives...were confisca ted during the two days the Scouts were here. That means a grand total of thirty-three thousand eight hundred and fifty two blades , or enough blades to torture simultaneousl y every single resident of Chevy Chase , Mary land , including women and children. Now you ask , how did we prevent this bloodbath from taking place in Chevy Chase?" But Dixon, always trusting of his audience , goes a step beyond the mere killing of three Boy Scouts. He sends troops to Denmark , occupies Elsinore Castle , and explains his actions with a casual "my fellow Americans , somethin g IS rotten in the state of Denmark—let there be no mistake about it. " And so, yet another crisis is avoided—the Boy Scouts are routed , Curt Flood is blamed , and Copenhagen has been H-bombed out of existence . With all these events of political genius , going for him , Dixon runs into one small stumbling block which might (or might not) affect his re-election : he gets assassinated. Alas , no ordinary assassination is Trick E.'s. So what if all the people flocking to Washington D.C. want to turn themselves in AA iu «jY . T^
