XXXVII, No. 47 Tuesday, April 17, 1972 I 1t**I WtSTfAM CA<atl«'AM Ad(d) quality (9 I '^TUM'U* WW"1-" lijii ONlV} The Justice Department has finally done something it should be highly commended for. Last Friday it filed suit against the three major television networks in an attempt to bar them from producing their own prime-time programing. The Justice Department wants to give this responsibility to advertising agencies. What could be a better idea? Of course top agencies have publicly stated that they did not want the responsibility of producing such programming, but their desires should be ignored and the burden of producing or having produced 21 hours of Apology To The Editor: The University Center Board provides programs in the areas of social-recreational, cultural, educational, and services for the students, faculty, suiff, and the community. We feel that certain programming, suchas films, lectures, and novelty acts, rounds out a student's education. Since the UCB is supported through student involvement (money and manpower) we consider it important to create a healthy environment. Because of such a large student body, we feel that there needs to be a variety of programs directed towards the University throughout the day. While we realize the need for programs, we also realize that conflicts will occur. Even with conflicts there is no reason that all programs scheduled cannot be a success. We .apologize to CIRUNA, its dele- gates,and its guests for any inconveniences caused by our presentation of "Uncle Heavy and His Pork Chop Review." However, we feel that remarks directed toward the University Center by Dr. Richard Berne were in extremely poor taste for a man in his position. Respectfully yours, The University Center Board Apology??? To The Editor: First of all, allow me to apologize for rattling Mr. Painter's mathematical cage in last week's article of "Greek Beat," Secondly, I accept full responsibility for differing opinions as well as mathematical errors in any or all articles published in the Greek Beat section. Therefore, since I am the author of "Greek Beat" his criticism should be directed toward me and not to ALL GREEKS ON CAMPUS! Again, I apologize for my mathematical error, but at the same time I would like to direct an old useful proverb to Mr. Painter: A wise man thinks what he says A fool says what he thinks In the future let me urge Mr. Painter to "SEEK THE SOURCE" of his debate I ior to stepping on a lot of innocent toes. Sincerely, Jim Mullis TV shows a week should be thrust upon them. We especially suggest that the agency that gave us Mr. Wipple saying "Ladies, please don't squeeze the Charmin," should be one of the agencies that begins handling prime-time programing. Maybe they will introduce a show called "Mr. Wipple's Grocery," to take the place of such monstrosities as "All In The Family," or "San- ford And Son," or "Laugh-In." Along the dramatic side of the street, hopefully the agency that so thrillingly gives us "Do those feminine hygiene deodorants REALLY work," will come up with a replacement for such melodramas as "The Bold Ones," or "Ironside." Unfortunately this governmental move does not cover sports and news coverage by the networks. The ultimate thrill would be to see Walter Cronkite lock the rest of the newsmen out of the studio because he had a pan of water and a mirror and was enthralled with the experience of shaving. He might have removed that moustache, even. It's all in how you look at it On suggestion was feed the grass to the "pork chops" then bar-b-cue the "pork chops "and feed them to Goose Creek Symphony and Flash Cadillacs At least that way everybody would be involved, the noise pollution would be greatly cut down and some of the confusion would have been eliminated. We say emphatically that that was the best idea we have heard. When the delegate from the Church of Satan was here last quarter, he must have thrown a hex on the campus. Half the people he turned upside down, the other half he left alone. For two quarters the poor, bedraggaled students yearn for some entertainment, for some activities, for anything to keep them from studying, then, all at once, there is enough going on in one week, in one day to keep the entire population busy for days. Priority must go to CIRUNA. CIRUNA had its Second Annual Conference planned since last year at this time. It was again, the most educational ex- .tra - curricula event held this year., Besides that it was very entertaining and mind - pro voking. And this year it did not go into the red. Running a close race was Black Week, also an educational, experience. The Blacks, in the tradition of their history, were done dirty this year, though. They checked with the keeper of the calendar, so reports go, and were told that the week was free of major activities. It was an honest mistake , but what a mistake! It caused a little friction. If those were the only two conflicts, the week still could have turned out to be a grand success. But, no! It was another honest mistake that was certainly not intended to interrupt the conference or insult anyone. It was just another show, but the results were unfortunate, I expect Uncle Heavy put on a magnificent show with his Pork Chop Review. I would have loved to have seen Uncle Heavy and His Pork Chop Review. After all, how often do you see trained pigs? Probably a good number of visiting delegates, speakers, and even students here would have been thrilled to have seen Uncle Heavy and his Pork Chop Re view,, By Thursday noon , though, a number of people would have been even more thrilled to have seen Uncle Heavy's Review made into pork chops. Several of the visitors were glad Uncle Heavy's Rev'ew was here, though. It drownded out the lawn mowers that were doing their monthly duty oat- side. And after finally having stomached that, Audrey Topping and Charles Bohlen had to compete with Goose Creek Symphony and Flash Cadillac. Reports are that Flash gave the best concert here this year. Reports are, too, that the half-empty grandroom looked rather sick over channel 4 television. Maybe, though, the students on campus will be luck, after all. If they work with Joe David Fore and George Weekly and others, possibly the damage the delegate from the Church of Satan can be undone and the various organizations can get back to wroking together, or would it be better if they did not work together? After all, what's happening this week?
