Song girls may get chance at Bruin game
By LARRY SHEINGOLD
Song girls may be able to perform at the UCLA game, Paul Bloland, dean of students, said yesterday.
His comment came after the Yell Leader Policy Committee passed a resolution yesterday which said: “The committee approves in principle the participation of qualified women students in game color and entertainment activities at public athletic events and rallies as song girls.
pom-pon girls, or in other appropriate roles. The nature of such participation shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the co-ordinator of game entertainment.”
Dean Bloland said that this was essentially what the song leaders had been told after previous meetings of the committee. Procedures for determining what will make women students qualified (as stated in the
resolution) have not yet been set up, however.
“We have no objection to the idea,” Dean Bloland said, “but the girls must be trained and work with the band and the yell squad before they will be permitted to participate.”
He said the women would not be allowed to perform until Ronald Broadwell, director of the band, feels that they are ready.
Penny Ward, a song girl, commented upon hearing the results of the committee, that she had expected to be able to perform during football season this year.
Miss Ward insisted that the girls had practiced^ all summer and were ready. “We really know our stuff,” she said, “but I expect Mr. Broadwell will avoid us and try to get around having song girls.”
Greeks need to shape up Mauk says
By BILL DICKE City editor
Fraternities do not contribute substantially to the educational climate, ASSC President Bill Mauk told a meeting of the Inter-Fraternity Council Wednesday night.
“It is quite apparent that fraternities are being challenged.” he said. He said the country is beginning to feel a psychological and attitudinal revolution which is making it necessary to alter institutions.
“It comes to you as fraternity leaders to make your system relevant to the educational process,” he said.
“I certainly don’t favor the destruction of the Greek system. If I did the best way would be to leave it alone.”
He noted that at Berkeley only 100 women rushed sororities this year and at the University of Washington the Greek system is under investigation for discrimination. He also described the tendency of juniors and seniors to leave the Greek system.
Mauk made three suggestions for improving the system. They are:
•	Reaffirm a commitment to the brotherhood of man by erasing de jure or de facto discrimination because of race, color or creed.
•	Develope experimental educational programs to augment social programs.
•	Assist in rebuilding the academic atmosphere on campus by cooperating to change the educational process.
The student leader suggested projects -which would involve a long term commitment to the black community. He also asked, “How many fraternities openly discuss the issues of the day?”
During a discussion of the liquor ban on the Row in a question-and-answer period after Mauk’s talk. Norm Barker, IFC president, said that before he leaves office he will draft the first proposals for visitation and liquor rights to go through proper channels.
Ron McDuffie, ASSC junior representative, told the IFC that a resolution on de facto segregation on the Row would not be adopted by the ASSC Executive Council.
McDuffie, a member of the Black Student Union, said, “No organized black group on campus wishes to force integration on the Row.”
Prof blasts McCarthy’s politics
By MEL HOROWITZ Assistant editorial director
“Sen. McCarthy’s ‘new politics’ is actually a ‘politics of despair,’ preaching alienation from the political system.” said James Witt, instructor of political science, yesterday in the VKC Lounge.
“I disagree with this view,” replied Dr. Joseph Nyomarkay, associate professor of political science. “It confuses cause and effect. McCarthy's candidacy merely reflects alienation. That is why he is so successful.”
Witt, Dr. Nyomarkay, and Dr. Robert Craig, associate professor of management in the Graduate School of Business, thus began speaking to approximately 40 students.
The discussion was sponsored by Pi Sigma Alpha, the political science honor society.
Witt explained his statement saying that McCarthy was advocating destruction of open competition by advocating withdrawal.
When asked about former McCarthy workers who are now in the system by campaigning for state and local candidates, Witt relented.
“But,” he said, “There are those who try to shout down others and alienate themselves from the system. If they don’t stop they will have to be repressed.”
“Who shouted down who at Chicago?” Dr. Nyomarkay asked. “Who packed the galleries?”
Witt said that the goal this year of the Democratic Party should not be to win, but to preserve itself as a viable political entity, within the system.
Dr. Nyomarkay responded by saying that there were certain “sacred words” in political science, which tend to keep the discipline irrelevant.
“The words ‘system’ and ‘process’ are examples,” he pointed out. “No one really knows what they mean, but we assume their goal is to fulfill a function.
“But when that function has not been fulfilled,” he continued, “when people become alienated from the ‘system,’ should we still say ‘I am still loval even though it has its faults’?”
DRAFT RESISTER TO SPEAK MONDAY
David Harris, leader of the Resistance, will speak Monday at noon on the possibilities and consequences of draft resistance. No definite location for his speech has yet been decided upon. Announcements of where he will speak will be posted on campus Monday morning. Harris' appearance is being sponsored by SDS.
A former president of the Stanford University student body, Harris resigned halfway through his term because he felt that he was not effective in producing the needed reforms at Stanford in his official capacity.
He has been sentenced to three years in jail for his refusal to accept induction into the armed forces. The conviction is now under appeal.
