LIBERATION
There has been a bit of talk
and publicity recently about the
Women’s Liberation Movement.
Personally I think most of it is
a lot of nonsense; the leaders
of this movement just want
to have their cake and eat it,
too.

City Council discusses
purchase of property
I could mention a few women
for instance who are sorry that
they were “liberated'' enough
to serve on juries. Many who
have sat day after day in a hot
courtroom, bored beyond endur
ance with the uninteresting but
necessary judicial procedures,
would just as soon be unequal
to men in that respect.
However since these women
have organized. 1 have a pro
ject for them. Let them start
liberating women from the clut
ches of the dress designers and
manufacturers.
Women have always been
pawns in the hands of these
people, and the time has come
to put a stop to it. The new
styles being offered for women
to wear are outrageous. Drop
ping hemlines practically to the
ankle is bad enough but the de
signs look as though they ori
ginated m the wilds of Africa
rather than the avenues of
Pans.
We ought to rebel We should
simplv say that we are NOT
going to follow the dictates of
Paris; that we are determined
that hemlines are not going to
drop to extremes which are
trying to be foisted upon us.
But what will we do? We'll
follow along, like a nation of
sheep. Next year this time, we
will probably be wearing those
atrocious styles, with hemlines
down to the ankle. But 1, for
one. intend to hold out until the
very last. Will you join me?
TAKE OVER
The National education Asso
ciation (NLA i is at it again.
It is saying, m effect, what the
loud-mouthed radicals at some
colleges around the country
have been saying: let the stu
dents take over and run the
schools
A feu weeks ago. an NLA
task force on student involve
ment issued a paper entitled,
Proposed Position Statement
on Student Lights and Kespon-
Mbihties
Among the standards propos
ed by the committee
A student should be able to
stutK anything lie wishes, and
n [ho •cliool doom t offer what-
eVei .'Ubjcci he wants to study
.ncludinu the Art oi Rebellion,
1 assume . then the student
mum be able to pursue his

school must provide whatever
,1--.-e-dance tile student considers
net t-s'ary
Students should have a joint
voice with a teacher jn detei
minim, a course's purpose, eon-
ton! and grading system
Students must have the right
to privacy m then residence
halls, desks and lockers, even
m elementary school
No recorded data concerning
any student should be collected
or retained without his knowl
edge or consent. In other words,
"don’t put those failing grades
on my permanent record".
Students should have the right
to belong to any legal organi
zation. 1 wonder if the NEA
considers the communistic Stu
dents for a Democratic Society
as a legal organization 9
Students should establish
their own standards of conduct
and students and faculty should

land 23 feet wide adjacent to
this property, so that the space
would provide for 78 parking
spaces which, according to the
city manager, would be neces

nancially feasible.
Council passed, unanimously
on second reading, two ordin
ances pertaining to beer and
wine. One would require that
establishments selling these
beverages cease to do so from
1:00 to 5:00 a.m. weekdays,
and from 12 midnight Saturday

City Finance Director Thom
as Buzhardt reported that the
general operations fund ended
the year $27,000-odd in the
black, although it had been an
ticipated that $90,000 would
have to be borrowed to meet
budgeted expenses. Included in
the budget was a fire truck
costing approximately $35,000
which was not delivered during
the fiscal year. Had that ar
rived, Mr. Buzhardt said, the
City would have had to borrow
only about $8,000.
He also reported that the op
erations and maintenance sec
tion of the City ended the year
with a balance of over $33,000,
compared to some $13,000 bal
ance last year.
