Hear ye! Hear ye! The college ofSouthwestern announces its sixthannual spring festival, beginningat one o'clock this afternoon. Atprecisely that hour, all town andcollege folk will assemble outside ofPalmer Hall to be on hand as ourmost gracious Queen Elizabeth,members of her royal company,and local musicians and per-formers process from the cloistersand the amphitheatre where theiropening ceremonies will take place.Following the reading of thefestival code, the crowd willdisperse to partake in sundryamusements.

The Queen, vacationing fromher court, will preside over thefestival until its closing on Sunday.With other visitors to the college,she will have occasion to view theperformance of Much Ado AboutNothing and scenes from Hamlet,Julius Caesar, and MacBeth. Thesedramas are works of Mr. WilliamShakespeare of Stratford-on-Avonwhose plays have been heartilyapplauded by ,ondon audiences.

The King of France, who alsovisits us on this joyous occasion,will certainly be pleased with theproduction of Maitre PierrePathetin presented by the college'sFrench students. They will performat 1:30 today in the amphitheatre,and again at scheduled times onSaturday and Sunday.

The aforementioned Mr.Shakespeare has also written anumber of sonnets, several ofwhich have been set to dance andwill be performed on the patio infront of Burrow Library by BalletSouth at 2:00 this afternoon. Thiswill be their only performance andattendance is encouraged.

Local artisans will display anooffer for sale their wares in thealley of oaks that stand in front ofPalmer Hall. They, along with anumber of merchants offeringbeverages and food for a nominalcharge, have abandoned themarketplace in hopes of attractingthe business of festival comers.

Contests and games, a puppetshow in the East Lounge, streetmimes and entertainers, a folkdance, a court dance,...the list of

activities goes on and on. If all goeswell, Southwestern will be thecenter of colorful gaity for the nextthree days.

Rumours that a wanderingcaravan of gypsies has set up campin the meadows adjacent to thecollege grounds have been spreadamong the townsfolk, and festivalofficials have been alerted. Noupsets are foreseen; however, menare urged to keep their women closeby their sides.

SA CS committee reviews SouthwesternA committee from the South-

ern Association of Colleges andSchools (SACS) was on campusSunday, May 13 through Wednes-day, May 16 to review Southwest-ern for re-accreditation.

Committee members said thatsince Southwestern should haveno trouble being accredited, theirmain function was to make sugges-tions for improving the college. Inseveral weeks the committee willissue a report containing "sugges-tions and recommendations."

The college can choose to actupon or ignore the "suggestions."However the SACS requires thatthe college respond to the "recom-mendations."

The visiting committee'sreview is part of an examinationprocess that began over a year ago.

Last year a committee of adminis-trators, faculty members andstudents undertook a "self-study"of the college, as required by theSACS. The self-study report waspublished in April and sent to theSACS to be used in the SACSevaluation of Southwestern.

The SACS formed a volunteervisiting committee consistingprimarily of administrators andfaculty members from otherSouthern colleges such asDavidson, Furman, and Rollins.Each committee member studied aspecific area of the college.

Tuesday evening each membercompiled a preliminary report ontheir area of study. Then,Wednesday morning the commit-tee met with President Daughdrilland presented an oral summary of

their preliminary reports. Thecommittee requested that this oralreport remain confidential until itcompletes its final report.

The committee chairman willtake the reports from individualmembers, edit them, and compile acomplete report. After committeemembers- have reviewed this draft,the chairman will make any finalchanges and submit the finishedreport to the SACS and PresidentDaughdrill. The President said thisprocess should take two or threeweeks.

President Daughdrill said thathis initial reaction was that theevaluation was handled well.

"It was a helpful kind ofexercise for them to look at us fromobjective and varied viewpoints,"he said.

broken in a door in the basementlevel and in the women's restroomon the ground floor. Also, two ventswere broken in bathrooms in thebuilding. The cost of the damagewas $148.73.

According to Assistant Deanof Students Bo Scarborough, thepeople responsible for thevandalism have been assessed forthe damages; the women'srestroom window is the onlydamage for which the guilty partyhas not been found. If the personcannot be located, the cost will beassessed to the Social Commissionand Student Center Assembly. Boadded that both students andvisitors from off campus wereresponsible for the damage.

Last Sunday the Dixie Dregsentertained a crowd in the amphi-theater.

Due to the incidents whichoccurred at the Archie Bell concert,the Social Commission decided to"tighten up" on security. Anannouncement was made throughthe SFA that the concert would befor members of the Southwesterncommunity only. Two Wells FargoGuards, one for backstage and onefor the concert area. were hired,and a red tag system was used toidentify those who would beallowed in Frazier-Jelke. Mostbuildings on campus were locked,and signs directed spectators to theStudent Center for restroom

facilities. The top floor of theStudent Center was blocked off,and Social Commission memberswatched the restrooms in thebasement.

The Social Commission hadbeen in touch with CapricornRecords who handle the Dreg'srecording contract, to help withpublicity. Although it had beenmade clear that the concert wasonly for Southwestern, the newsreached WZXR 103, and a displayof the Dregs' new album withconcert information was set up atPeaches Records. This extrapublicity caused the influx ofpeople from off campus.

The crowd, however, wasquieter than at the previousconcert, and no incidents ofvandalism were reported.

The Social Commission isunsure of how major concerts willbe handled in the future. LysAnderson, a member of thecommission, said that they hopedsuch security measures will not benecessary. The most importantaction that can be taken, lyscontinued, will be for students toinvite fewer friends and make surethose who do attend do not damageanything. "I hope it doesn't get tothe point where we will have tocheck ID's," she said.

Bo echoed her feelings. Hiesaid, "As long as students will beresponsible for their guests, wewon't have any trouble."

I'm leaving Southwestern atthe end of May. Before I go, I wantto share some of my realizations ofthe past two years.

First, in all my travels I haveyet to uncover one school where thecooperation, the willingness tohelp, the interest of the entirecommunity in Admissions, isextant, as it is here. That makes ourjob easier, and I've been gratefulfor that.

Second, because of theidealism that reigns here, and thestrict adherence to a code ofhonesty, I've found we are toomodest. There is a quiet sophistica-tion here which prohibits flashyname dropping and listing ofhonors. That is why, I believe, weattract so cohesive a student body.There may be difference of opinionin politics, religion, philosophy,etc., but the students are bound by acommon assurance that honesty isimportant and adulthood isobtainable through responsible

living. This is a UNIQUE attitudefor a college community. It is some-thing we should be proud of,fiercely proud of, despite any innerstrife that may temporarily exist.

I will miss this rare communitysolely. There is a sense of caringhere which, I believe, will prevail.And that is why I am confident I'mleaving it in good hands.Nancy K. Crowell

Nuclear power issue needs to be examinedby Jenny Yancey Recent medical reports have

It's been almost two months revealed that Utah residents whosince the Three Mile Island nuclear were under fifteen and livingpower plant in Pennsylvania faced downwind from the atmosphericthe threat of a total nuclear nuclear tests conducted twentymeltdown. I was attending the years ago in Nevada, have doubleSouthern Conference On World the normal rate of leukemia.Affairs in Nashville when newsbroke about the disaster. While theconference was to address nuclearpower, the arms race, worldhunger, and other social issues, the

-immediate threat in Pennsylvaniabrought the nuclear debate into theforefront.

Nuclear power has long been acontroversial issue. Yet themajority of Americans have

'...to say that nuclearpower is safe is afarce...'blindly accepted reports frompoliticians and other officials thatnuclear power is safe, clean, andcheap.

Considering what has hap-pened at Three Mile Island andother plants in recent years, to saythat nuclear power is safe is a farce.

In 1975, there was a serious fireat the Brown's Ferry plant inAlabama. Another near-disasteroccurred in 1966 when the nuclearfuel core of a plant near Detroitpartially melted down.

Whether an accident occurs ornot, each nuclear reactor dailyleaks radioactive materials whichenhance the level of backgroundradiation to which we areconstantly exposed.

These additional amountsincrease our risk of developingcancer and genetic diseases.

To state that nuclear power isclean has proved to be ridiculous.Each commercial nuclear reactorannually produces tons of radio-active waste, some of whichremains dangerous for more than500,000 years. Adding to thisproblem, there are no safe methodsof disposal and storage available atthis point in time.

So far, over 600,000 tons of thisradioactive garbage have beenproduced in America. These wastesare crowded into temporaryholding pools and tanks, somehave even been dumped into thePacific Ocean about thirty milesoutside of the San Francisco Bay.

Considering the costs ofnuclear power, plants can onlyoperate twenty to thirty yearsbefore they become too radioactiveto repair or maintain. Once theseplants become obsolete they mustbe dismantled, and their cons-tituent parts must be buried undertons of earth or concrete to becomea "radioactive mausoleum" forhundreds or thousands of years.The costs of this whole process,including the fact that the wasteswill have to be guarded virtuallyforever, are astronomical.

Seen in its entirety, nuclearenergy is far from cheap, and thehidden costs are enormous.

There are seventy-one nuclearplants in current operation. Onehundred and twenty-four other

plants are in the midst of planningstages.

The world's largest nuclearplant to ever be built is in theprocess of production right now.This plant is located thirty milesnortheast of Nashville on theCumberland River.

TVA has increased its debtceiling from 5 to 15 billion dollars toaccommodate nuclear constructionand now seeks another increase to30 billion. These costs do notinclude the price of guarding,containing, and storing nuclear

'... the American pro-fit motive has againforged ahead...'

wastes for the next 80,000 years,nor does it include the price ofdismantling the plant after 30years, which could run as high asthe original construction costs.

By increasing the number ofnuclear power plants in our societywe increase the probability of amajor nuclear accident. Thesteadfast advocates of nuclearpower maintain that no one waskilled at the Three Mile Islandplant.

Does this mean that thecitizens of America have to waituntil a death toll can be countedbefore these advocates willseriously grasp the dangersnuclear power entails?

Our multibillion-dollar pursuitand development of nuclear powerhas overshadowed development of

alternative energy sources. Itseems that the American profitmotive has again forged aheadwithout considering the seriouseffect upon those living today aswell as future generations. Asfrequently happens, short-termprofit has come to outweigh theresponsibility of industry andgovernment to protect the public.

We cannot afford to surrendercomplete trust in politicians,bureaucrats, "experts," or scien-tific specialists, because all toooften their objectivity has beencompromised. We must take on theresponsibility to educate ourselvesto discover the truth.

The conference on WorldAffairs that I was attending endedon Sunday while the situation atThree Mile Island continued toworsen. Returning to Southwest-ern I was shocked as I soon realizedhardly anyone had heard aboutwhat was going on in Pennsyl-vania. To publicize the issue, I cutout all of the articles I found within

"...we must take onthe responsibility toeducate ourselves todiscover the truth...'the Sunday Commerical Appealand taped them up in the refectory.

I wonder how many peopleactually read those articles hearingfor the first time news of theaccident and the possibility of acomplete meltdown? How manystill know little of the occurrences

at Three Mile Island or even feelthey should?

I would like to believe thatmany reading this article will takeit upon themselves to become moreaware of the important happeningsaround us. I would also like torequest that professors make amore conscious effort to relate thematerial we learn in the classroomto the issues that take place in theworld around us.

A liberal arts education, asstated in the 1979-80 SouthwesternBulletin, should seek to "educatemen and women who will becompetent and concerned citizens

.. each of us mustaccept responsbilityfor the earth's sur-vival... "

as well as enlightened, self-motivated human beings."

Each of us must accept totalresponsibility for the earth'ssurvival. We need to become betterinformed on the issues that concerneach one of us as members of thehuman race. We must not looktoward our education here atSouthwestern as one separatedfrom the rest of the community,nation, or world. We mustcontinuously bring the outsiderealities of our present day worldinto the classroom. What good isacquiring all our knowledge if, asworld citizens, we are unable to seehow it relates to the environmentaround us?

Japanese prints to be exhibitedAn exhibition of twenty-nine

wood-block prints by eightJapanese artists will be on loan

-from the Jessie L. Clough Art

Memorial for Teaching, at theDixon Gallery and Gardens, May22 through August 26.

The prints are by artists of the

"Unfree" Woodstock II.planned for August

(CPS)--"It was a time of sharing -ofcameraderie," recalls Jerry Moss."A shyness went away."

For a half-million rock-n-rollfans, it was a muddy camp-outthey'll never forget.

"But there's not point in doinga retrospective," Moss, stagemanager of the original WoodstockFestival, adds. "That would besilly. Instead, the second Wood-stock will be a deja vu version ofsomething new, and not arecreation of something thatcannot be recreated."

It won't be free, for example.It won't dote on music of the

sixties.It won't be a sanitation or

traffic engineer's nightmare.It won't be a weekend picnic for

East Coast urbanites.It won't even be held at

Woodstock.As surely as the seventies are

not the sixties, the ten-year reunionof the Woodstock Festival, to beheld August 14-16 at a soon-to-be-announced site within 150 miles ofManhattan, will provide amplegrist for the sociologist's mill.

"The real reason for Wood-stock II is there has been nocultural event during the 1970'sthat meant anything to anybody,"modestly declares festival pub-licist, Michael Gershman.

For Gershman, along withMoss and "Woodstock" movieproducer/director Michael Wad-leigh, it's a $6 million gamble thatyouth culture hasn't changed asmuch as some social observerssuggest.

"It's a risk," promoter Mossadmits. "There isn't the challengeor the activism of ten years ago. Toa great extent we're puttingourselves and everybody whoattends on trial to see if we can pickup some energy from this event.

"I'd like to see some residualenergy into the alternate everything, for instance. There are lots ofthings we have been sloughing offon that this festival might help."

This summer's gathering,therefore, will not be limited tomusical events. "We want to takeadvantage of this huge meeting ofpeople to try and get a feel for whatpeople think -- where we have comein the last decade -- and where weare goinig," Moss explains. "We'reinviting ecology groups, solarenergy groups, and multi-culturalorganizations to participate,among others."

But it's a safe bet that themusical line-up being assembled byrock impresario Frank Barsalonaof the New York-based PremierTalent Associates will determinethe festival's drawing power.

"No acts have been signedyet," according to Gershman,"but I might point out that Premierrepresents some of the biggestnames in the business, includingThe Who and Bruce Springsteen."

L Linda Ronstadt, Rod Stewart,Billy Joel, the Rolling Stones andthe Eagles are other namesmentioned in connection with theconcert. Availability of manyartists is certain to be influenced byCBS' plans to release a WoodstockII album by next Christmas.

(A CBS subsidiary, PortraitRecords, joined Orion Pictures,which will film the event, infronting the money for the project).

"We're less interested in'dance' music than other types,"Moss replied, when asked toconfirm a rumor that disco groupswill not be asked to participate.

"We want as representative aselection of music as possible. Eachof the three days will emphasize acertain style, to include rock, newwave, country, jazz, folk, andrhythm-and-blues."

It's expected that some of theoriginal performers will be askedback for nostalgia's sake. Thecareers of a few -- including JoeCocker, Richie Havens and Crosby,Stills, and Nash -- were just takingoff in 1969.

"There were a lot of unknownswho became knowns as a result ofthe first festival, and we want to seethose emerging musicians wellrepresented again," Gershmanemphasizes, mentioning artistslike Rickie Lee Jones and DireStraights.

Not all Woodstock memoriesare fond ones, however.

The late Max Yasgar saw his600 acre farm nearly destroyedwhen a city the size of Seattle grewup on it overnight. Thousands ofother Catskill Mountain residentscomplained about traffic snarls,sanitation problems, and trespas-sing. The situation got so bad thatauthorities declared the region adisaster area and put the NationalGuard on stand-by alert.

Promoters of Woodstock II arehoping their advance, computer-controlled ticket sales and tightsecurity will insure an orderlyfestival. Strategy sessions involv-ing local bureaucracies, mer-chants, landowners and legal-types are in progress.

"No one expected that manypeople to show up at the firstWoodstock," Moss explains."There was just no planning on

Mangurian mismanages Rogues

IN.I.R-o' AwlMangurian mismanages RoguesThe Memphis sports scene,

such that it is, was struck anotherblow last Monday night whenMemphis Rogues' Coach EddieMcCreadie was fired by ownerHarry Mangurian. This news cameonly a short time after Mangurianoffered the team up for sale. This, inaddition to the Rogues' poorrecord,appears to put the Rogues on shakyground.

The reason given for Mc-Creadie's release was the team'srecord, 2-6. Not intending to makeexcuses for McCreadie, but merelystating facts, it should be pointedout that the Rogues' ownership(Mangurian) has not been al-together generous in allottingmoney for players' salaries. TheRogues basically have a very goodsquad, but they lack the presence of

a superstar or two, something,unfortunately, only money canbuy. Hence, firing McCreadie is notnecessarily the answer to theRogues' problems.

Sources close to McCreadieand the team have indicatedperhaps another reason for thecoaching change. Mangurianordered McCreadie to cut five of theRogues players, O'Neill, McCully,Thompson,'Grimaldi, and R. Rosul,in connection with their actionsduring the recent NASI, playersstrike. McCreadie refused to evenacknowledge the incident.

Careful analysis of the Rogues'short history, reveals an astonish-ingly ill-managed business. Iastyear, emphasis was put on adver-tising rather than players' salaries.Consequently, fair-sized crowds

were entertained by a rather weakside. Due mainly to the popularityof the players and McCreadiehimself, the fans maintained theirsupport for the team. This year,Mangurian promised less adver-tising and more money for players.These high salaries were apparent-ly mere rumors. For these reasons,McCreadie has had a rough time ofit in Memphis. His firing,seemingly indicating coachingproblems, will not necessarily solvethe Rogues' difficulties. lPerhapsMangurian's proposed ownershipturnover will prove to be a boost totheir chances. But will the Roguesstill he in Memphis? The questiondepends on whether or notMangurian's slipshod manage-ment has caused permanentdamage to the Riogues' Gallery.

The baseball title was only thesecond for Southwestern since theschool joined conference baseballcompetition in 1962. Last year,

Tennis team ties for first in CAC tournamentby Joe Krakoviak

The story you are about to read is true. The names have been numberedto save space.

This is a saga of Southwestern's tennis team at the C.A.C. tournamentheld at The University of the South in Sewanee, Tenn., last week. Theyfought setback after setback to gain a tie with Centre and Sewanee for theleague championship. Their surprising finish assured Southwestern ofThe Bell, the symbol of C.A.C. sports superiority.

These were the members of the team, with the number that they playedin singles competition: #1, Lewis Duckworth; #2, Don Simmons, #3, SamPatterson; #4, Charles Collie; #5, Jay Brooks; #6, Joe Krakoviak. Hereafter,their number will identify them.

The first sign of trouble came on Friday, May 4. #6 was hitting withProfessor Hatfield and strained a muscle in his playing arm. From thenuntil the opening of the tournament almost a week later, he was not able tosustain constant stress on his arm, and even had trouble holding hisracket.

The following Monday, #4 wrenched his back seriously and had to stoppracticing because of the pain. He would not play again until the firstmatch on Thursday. On the same day, #3 had to stop practicing because ofsore knees.

Tuesday, rain forced a curtailment of valuable practice time. That dayit was discovered that the regular coach of the tennis team, Dr. LeeMarshall, would not accompany the team because of other commitments.Instead, Dr. Jack Taylor would be acting coach. #6 also began feeling theaffects of a head cold.

The following day, the team assembled in the gym parking lot to loadtheir equipment into the station wagon for the trip. #3 came limping to thecar, not because of his back, which now felt fine, but because he had fallenoff of his bike only minutes before. He had been riding through Overton

'He had poison ivy breaking out allover his body...'Park back to his apartment to pick up his gear for the trip. He had beentrying to knock something off his front tire with his umbrella, when he raninto a ditch and flipped over the handlebars, landing on his right wrist.

Next, #2 walked up, but he was not laughing. He had poison ivybreaking out all over his body. He was extremely allergic to the plant andhad gotten it camping on the previous weekend. #1 also had a case of poisonivy, although not as bad as #2, who must have been trying harder. Lotionand pills were acquired from the infirmary, and the two players were readyto go. #1 had to put on pants, however, to prevent his legs from passing thecondition on to #3 and #4, both of whom had once been in the hospital withthe problem.

The cramped conditions of five players (#5 traveled in another car), acoach, and their gear were accentuated by the fact that #1 was stringing aracket during the trip, which required extra space. Not only that, thecar engine was not running smoothly.

That night, the situation with #2 deteriorated. The medication did littlegood, and by midnight the itching rash had spread over his body, even toan embarrassing place that made it hard for him to sit. The coach wasawakened, and, along with #1 and #2, made a trip to the local hospital.

#2 was given pain killers and a shot of cortisone, while #1 was givenmore medication. On the way home, the pills took effect, and #2 ran the carthrough a ditch. There was no damage, but much fright.

After a late dinner at a local greasy spoon, #4 became nauseated. Hehad a fever and diarrhea throughout the night and was out of bed by 6 a.m.When he went looking for Pepto Bismal, the car died. He coasted to thestore, made his purchase, and started the car after 15 minutes of trying.He was only able to eat ice cream and milk for lunch, and it looked as if hewould not be able to play.

After all the trauma of the preceding day and night, Thursday

morning brought attention to another problem: lack of rackets. #2 hadbought two rackets the day before, but both were unstrung, and thusunusable. #3 had only one racket, as did #6. #5 had one racket, but his back-up also needed stringing. No stringing machine was to be found that day;so this was the situation when the team met Rose-Hulman at 3 p.m.

#4 still looked sick, but was able to play. #2 used three different racketsthat day, but the shot had cleared up his poison ivy and he was notbothered with it for the rest of the trip. #3 got into trouble, however, whenthe bottom 2 inches of his handle broke off. He taped it up and continuedplaying because he had no spare.

After the 8-1 victory (#4 somehow finished the match, but lost), astringer was found, and #1 was up until 3 a.m. stringing rackets. #3 usedsome super glue in hopes of mending his only racket. The next day, theteam had to face the two favorites of the tournament, Sewanee andPrincipia, both of whom were counting on doing well in tennis to advancetheir school's chances for the overall championship.

The singles in the morning match against Principia were split, threeapiece, with four three-set matches. Southwestern then swept all threedoubles to win 6-3. Not only could Principia not believe they had beenbeaten by the team that they had defeated last year, 7-2, but Southwesternnow had confidence to offset exhaustion going into the afternoon matchagainst rival Sewanee.

In the singles, #6 won a three-setter that kept Southwestern alive, butcritical. They were behind 2-4, and had to win all three doubles toaccomplish the impossible. The -#1 doubles team of #2 and #4 played greattennis to win in two sets, but the other two matches went to three sets. Bothteams won, and when the #2 team of #3 and #5 won the last point, theSewanee team was stunned for several minutes of silence which wasbroken only by one player, who threw his racket.

The victory had resembled a match between the two teams three yearsago, when Southwestern had come into the doubles again down 2-4. Backthen they had won two doubles matches, but were behind in the third set 1-4in the last match, as in this year's match. The team had come back only tolose 5-7 and give Sewanee the championship. The victory was sweet indeed.

Saturday, the team only had to defeat Centre to become champs, butsomething went wrong again, and only a three-set victory by #5 kept theteam alive for the doubles, 2-4. The team had not lost a match in doublesand were hoping for another round of excellent play to get the victory.Although the #2 and #3 teams won, #1 could not keep up their fine edge, andthe match was lost 4-5.

There were several "ifs" in the tournament. #4 lost all his singles, butcame close to winning all of them. If he had been healthy, he probablywould not have lost, and the final day's defeat might have been different.

'Southwestern now had confidence tooffset exhaustion...'Also, #3's racket problem continued throughout the tournament, and in thefinal match against Centre, he was forced to choke up on the handle,severely hampering the momentum and spin with which he could hit theball. His match was also close enough to perhaps have been different if hehad had proper equipment.

Although Southwestern had come within one match of winning thetournament outright, the loss made a three-way tie between them, Centre,and Sewanee. The winner, based on the percentage of games won, wasSewanee, with a tie declared for second.

The most important thing, however, was that the first place pointswere split between the teams, with the result that the other two schoolswere denied valuable points, and Southwestern won The Bell as the overallsports champion for the year.
