Halberstam Speaks
on Mass Media
by Preston Stewart Author Journalist Qwid Hal-berstam spoke Wednesday as part of the Distinguished Speak-ers Series sponsored by Ithaca College. Halberstam gained fame during his years as a reporter in Vietnam. He has written a book entitled THE BEST AND THE BRIGHTEST and is currently working on a new book THE POWER AND TlJE GLORY, which was the basis of his discussion.
Halberstam spoke of the power and the glory of today's mass media and its political
implica-tions. "Of the past 30 years, only
one institution has become more powerful," Halberstam stated when speaking about the media. He continued, "It helped inflate the presidency, and made it larger than life." Halberstam pointed out that our grand-parents and grand-parents had never

and his roommate Robert Klein returned to the room with a fire extinguisher as a third room-mate, Irwin Halperin, called safety. Klein said he thought the fire was out when he and Posner left the building.
A mattress and pillow
reig-nited forcing firefighters to · throw the burning bedding onto the wet pavement below.
The damage was not esti-mated immediately but both the matresses, and a waterbed own-ed by Posner were completely destroyed. Also damaged in the fire were the walls and carpeting in the bedroom, an antique book, a tapestry and a telephone.
Both Posner and his fourth roommate Michael Moses, who was not home at the time of the fire, had to have all their clothes cleaned from the soot.
Klein said when he and Posner first returned to the room the flames were "six feet high." Firefighters reportedly had to use oxygen masks to enter the room which was filled with dense smoke. ~ ....

I think their reports about
More than 85% of the student body did not vote in this weeks student elec-tions for next year's officers. With only three of ten positions contested, a larger turnout should not have been expected. But with only 15% of the student body voting, why should any-one want to run for office?
The student body is apathetic. Stu-dent apathy causes the stuStu-dent gov-ernment to be ineffecgtive.
The Student Government is inef-fective. Government uneffectiveness causes the student body to be apa-thetic.
One ·factor is as equally responsible as the other, along with a infinite num-ber of other societal factors, for the miserable condition of the student body.
It is not a matter of a few individuals coming to the aid of many, but a mat-ter of conscious awareness of the sit-uation by the student body as a whole. This weeks election results should em-barrass every single Ithaca College student. How dare students cry for nights and then willingly relinquish the few they do h~vel No matter how
ineffectual voting might seem, espe-cialy with
so many,
candidates running unopposed, it is still of utmost impor-tance to hod onto the ground we do have nowif
we're to ever gain more.A strong recurring problem in all or-ganizations, no less so in Student Gov-ernment, is one of communication. With such heavy disinterest prevailing on campus, organizations must make more of an effort than would normally be required to communicate all rele-vant and necessary information to the student body. Many students never understod that th~ uncontested candi-dates could be voted out altogether and therefore did not bother voting ~t all. Needless to say, that this small peice of information would not neces-sarily? have changed the election turn-out, but it is a clear example of a
fail-ure in communications.
There is no one solution be-cause there is no one problem. But un-til the st_udent community unani-mously agrees that there is a problem for which a solution must be sought,
progress towards active awareness is at a virtual standstill.

What is the Ohio-Newton Gang?
B;r
Felice Li· ..The "Ohio-Newton Gang" has ridden in two consecutive April Fools' issues, but was never really explained. The Ohio-Newton Gang is based on a small group of Ithaca College admini-strators who attended Ohio Uni-versity, Newton College, and
finally LC.
President James Whalen was appointed to the presidency of
Ithaca College in May 1975. Whalen had been President of Newton College for eight years and prior to that spent five years at Ohio University in various administrative and academic roles.
Walter Borton, presently Director of College Relations, came with Whalen and was appointed Executive Assistant to Whalen. Borton had been
Wha-len's assistant at Newton College and studied journalism at Ohio
University. ·
Tom Salm replaced Paul Farinella a~_ ~:usiness Manager in Fall 1976. Tom Salm served as Business Manager of Newton College from 1972-1975. Prior to this, Salm got his education degree at Ohio University where he later served as a Residential Coordinator.
Dick Correnti was appointed as Vice-President of Student Af-fairs in the summer of 1977. Correnti received his Ph.D. from
Ohio University.
When questioned about "the g-ang," President Whalen ex-plained that he wants a "closely knit administrative cabinet" that works well together. Whalen continued to say,"I'm very proud of the people we have in the
administrative staff. I would put them up against any college in
the country."
President Whalen stated that the President of any college or _ university hires those people with whom his administration can perform best. "It has nothing to do with power," Whalen said.
Kelly
on Feminist
Theory
Joan Kelly, the last speaker in the Feminist Lecture Series for this year, spoke on the topic of Feminist Social Theory Tuesday night to a crowd of over 100 community members. Kelly, a professor of history at City University teaching renaissance and women's history, is present-ly studying and writing about Feminist Social Theory while working on a book- on the same subject.
Kelly explains that she uses three basic criteria to help cha-racterize feminist theory. The first criterium is one of vantage point. Kelly explained,"Feminist. Theory is not . a theory about . women; it is a theory about society from the vantage p~int 'of women." For this vantage point to be obiective, women must "alienate themselves and see male domination from the outside. Joan Kelly, using the works of Mary Daily, stated," ... All our conceptual systems bear t~e imprint of patriarchy and
rem-force it ... To be outside of it means to literally pull yourself out of your own culture, which is, as we all know, an impossibility, yet there is a metaphorical kind
of reality."
The second criterium Professor Kelly uses to characterize femi-nist theory addresses what it is that you view from that vantage, point. Kelly explained,"Feminist theory deals with the structuring of society in terms of sex ordering, analogous to class or-dering, yet different from class ordering." Both orderings deal with social groups. However, within sex ordering, these social groups are men and women instead of the social groups of bourgeois and proletariat within
class ordering.·
The final criterium of feminist theory of which Kelly speaks is that feminist theory is dialectual. She ex_pl_ains that the dialectic is very specific in the sense that "there are well defined relations
hptu,oon theory and practice."
Kelly continued,"Feminist theo-ry has always developed out of a
woman's movement."
Joan Kelly speaks of two distinct waves in the woman's movement. The first wave dates from the 1850's to the late 1920's. The second wave is the present wave, and as Professor Kelly stated,"! don't know when to date its conception, and I hope I never have to date its conclu- · sion." To look at the second wave in relation to the first gives a more complete understanding than only historical tracing.
In the first wave of the
woman's mover"'!-t,, all feminist theory, regardless of society, is split into two spheres: a public domain, which is a male domain of work and property, and a
private rlnm~in which is a do-mestic domain which was the domain of woman. Explains Kelly,"Feminist theory (within the first wave) was to get women out of the one and into the

Whalen-Fights Tax Laws
•..
. - .Ithaca College President
-James J. Whalen cast a shadow
on Carter administration tax reform proposals today before the House Ways and Means Committee. Whalen told com-mittee that the Carter recom-mendations, if enacted, would create serious problems for insti-tutions depending on private contributions for large portions of their income.
The tax reform proposals include provisions to elimiilate or curtail the use of itemized deduc-tions for casualty losses, medical expenses, certain taxes and "
charitable contributions. The
proposals would also extend the use of the standard deduction to
a larger numbe · .,f taxpayers. - "The trend which this action ~· ·· ·, ·.~- ::-: .... ·· ·- ···.

A.L.S. to present Cultural Week
by Riva Weinstein
The week of Monday April 10 through Sunday April 16 will be a Cultural week on the Itha, College Campus. The Afro Latin Society in conjunction with other campus organizations such as SAB, Saga, and the Bureau of concerts, will present what Deb-bie Anderson (financial director of ALS) has described as an attempt "to broaden the aware-ness of the Ithaca College com-munity in the cultural back-grounds of Blacks and Latinos." The program is an extention of the annual Black Weekend and will be followed by Latin week which is still in the planning stage.
Highlights of the program include a presentation by the Reverend Arthur Langford Jr, who was active with Dr. Martin Luther King in the Civil Rights movement of the 1960's. Lang-ford, who marched with King · before the black leader was assassinated and has written a play titled "A Life of a King,"
