A gal named Barbara Allen.

0 Conjur Man, 0 Conjur Man, Pleases do this thing I'm wantin' Please c hange m e to a hum an man Fer Barbara I'd be cou rtin '.

These lyrics taken from "Dark of the Moon' s" "Ballad of Barbara Allen" desc ribe the basic plot of the Drama Department's fall production of "Dark of the Moon" which will be presented November 3-6 and 11-13.

Authors Howard Richardson and Willia m Berney drew on Smokey Mountain lore , legend, music and magic for t heir play. Buddy As hbrook, director, and Norm Gaskins, technical director, are setting up the "superstitious" mood during rehearsals by working on the " ee rie~ set with the "folksy" cast.

The folk dr ama is a tale of a Witchboy who falls in love with a human mountain girl a nd wishes to be hum an so he can marry her. The Witch-boy's wish is granted by a Conjur Man , but on the condition that Barbara Allen, the mountain girl, r e main faithful to him for a year after their marriage.

"This is a very now play," commented Buddy As hbrook, director. "It shows how fear and ignorance can destroy a beautiful rela tionship such as love. The com munity refuses to support their relationship by their hate and hypocrisy and winds up des troying it."

INNOCENCE AMONG VICTIMS

Letters to the Editor

Attica-human tragedy William Kunstler, a champion of individual rights, was defense counsel at the trial of the ' 'Chicago Seven.''

He was a member of the observers' committee at the Attica Prison uprising.

Copyright 1971 by William Kunstler.

*** For anyone with the slightest degree of sensibility, Attica will forever symbolize the ultimate in human tragedy-the controlled catastrophe that so easily could have been avoided.

I wish to adress myself exclusively to the citizens of Cell Block D, because I was honored among men to be named their attourne y. And I will confine myself to what I saw, heard and felt during my dozen or so hours in what I choose to regard as a sublimely liberated zone.

When I initially passed from official to inmate control, Deep in my middleclass white subconscious, I half expected to see a replica of every prison movie I had ever witnessed . I was reasonably sure that power would be wielded by a few psycopathic killers with little or nothing to lose, who had terrorized their fellow convicts into seizing the cellblock and commiting unspeakable crimes of violence along the way. It would hardly have surprised me if the yard had been the scene of impromptu executions, medieval torture, and brutal and bloorly struggles for suzerainty.

St-types sllatttred

Instead , I was to have every such ugly stereotype swiftly and totally shattered. The rebels were superbly organized; inmates inclined to violence were quickly subdued and incarcerated; and an acceptance of all shades of opinion was promoted and encouraged. With much sophistication and even some genius, the leadership speedily establis hed an Athenian democracy freed from the racism and class lines of the outside world, which could and did survive everything-but bullets and buckshot.

From the moment the members of our observers' committee first entered the yard , we were aware that we were in the middle of an ongoing community.

There was a command post complete with a conference table. loudspeaker system, floodlights and typing pool. Even the most critical of us could easily see that everyone had been assigned a task-whether it was to dig a defense trench, guard the hostages, man the perimeter, or stand impassively in the long line of marshals protecting the e ntrances and exits to the compound.

Even the occasional flurries of panic that, every once in awhile , rippled insidious ly through the yard did not seriously disrupt communal organi zation.

Sensible precautions were take n at once; rumors tracked down to their sources; and their spreaders sternly admonished.

Ruled with eHiciency

Once, when it was feared that a n attack was imminent, lights were quietly extinguished, visitors escorted to a r e latively safe and out-of-the-way spot, and everyone cautioned to act only when ordered to do so.

I am a veteran of hundreds of e nd-

less movement meetings, and I marvelled that these men-- given their socioeconomic backgrounds and the tension and unce rtainty that pervaded their newly found freedom-- could have so quickly learned to rule themselves with efficiency, dispatch and bedrock fairness~ Their essential politeness toward each other and their visitors, and their easy tolerance of all points of view, however strange or unorthodox, made me realize that necessity is as much the mother of accomodation as she is of invention.

Versed in poRtics

The fabled New England town meeting had at long last suffered a latter-day revival in, of all places, a cluttered prison yard.

Most of the observers were startled to find how versed our hosts were in the art of practical politics. They understood full well how power is gained and utilized in contemporary society a nd never lost sight for a moment of the fact that their only leverage lay with the blindfolded hostages, who sat on the ground within a demarking circle of wooden benches.

But of even more importance, the inmates, despite the uncertainty of their collective survival, relied heavily on the basic humaneness of the world without and were genuinely and deeply shocked when they began to sense it was as illusory as everything else in their lives had been.

In the end, it was they and not their oppressors who yielded to the pressures of harsh reality. Of their two "nonnegotiable'' preconditions-- total amnesty and the removal of Superintendent Mancusi-- they were prepared to drop the latter if assured of the former.

Misjudged devotion

"We are ready to give up the Mancusi thing," Brother Richard Clark told us as we left the yard for the last time on Sunday night, "if we are guaranteed amnesty. " In the last analysis, they failed because they, as well as most of the observers , so tragically misjudged their society' s devotion to its own expresed values. From the beginning they were truly convinced that, given a choice between life a nd death, the high and the mighty would always opt for life.

Even up to the awful moment of truth on Monday morning, most of them sim ply refused to believe that their fellow countrymen c'ould so easily forsake even their most c heris hed shibboleth-- the myth of our common humanity-- in the face of political expediency.

It is perhaps more ironic that we yet realize that the men of Cell Block D, convicted felons all, yearned so fervently, out of the depths of their own desperate need, for an up-to-date certification of our national credo, while those most publicly committed to its sustenance rushed to nullify it. Men who may have once taken life, molested c hildren or cracked safes understood more about s hining ideals and elemental truths than those who professed to judge and condemn them.

Men died at Attica, to be sure, but innocence itself lay unnoticed among the victims.

Kennedy displays character

By Rosela DelCastillo "I came from an international family background, but it seems t hat wherever we'd go, we'd always be segregated, " Guy Kennedy a black student in the ADCOP program laughed.

"When we were in Canada my family was segregated because they were Indian . In the United States we were segregated because we were black, and overseas I was segregated because I was an American," he described his encounters with prejudice good-natured ly. " My family never imparted prejudice to me so I don't look for it. If people look for it in me, then I assume it's my personality they don't like not my color. But if that's the reason they don't like me then it doesn't bother me because they're not worth it," he s hrugged.

"Once being Bl ack saved my life! was in Japan and they were having Anti-Ame rican riots. I got picked up by some Japanese and I told them I was Algerian, not Ame rican. They clapped me on the back and were real friendly to me.

Boy, was that c lose!" He chuckled.

Kennedy, who· has been to eve ry c ontinent except Europe, spoke on how other countries view the black situation. ~-<You know overseas, they refe r to America as an Anglo-Black culture, esp ecially in the Far East. I think that

Dental assistants fill new course

By Tony Borders Dentists, drills , and dentist's chairs may bring painful memories of hours s pent in a Dentist's office.

However , the college has recently acquired this type of equipment for the purpose of teaching a Dental Assisting training course which is new this semester.

Mrs. Susan Be rard will ·be training the students for the field of- dental assistance. Mrs. Berard has been in the field of dentistry since 1959. She has attended San Diego City College in training for a degree in Dental Hygiene and she has also attended San Diego State. This is her first teaching as signment.

The equipm e nt used in the course

was donated by area dentists and includes a denta l c hair and examination tools. More equipm ent is on order acc ording to Mrs. Berard .

Mrs. Berard pointed out that the objectives of the course are prim arily to train women for the field of de ntal assistance. The course was established in r esponse to a " great demand for such assis tance due to the tremendous growth in dentistry.''

the black segment of the population is good for the United States. If we didn't have it, this country couldn't operate without it, because the black population is a large a nd important part of this country."

"The rest of the world has been seeing this for a long time. They identify America with its black soul music and performers.

We've been do-good ers in other countries for so long, and here at home we forget to accept our own people.

We forget our roots . We must recognize we have these roots. It's up to us to build on this foundation let it flower and by this way we we'll be able to come together. Young people have recognized this and are willing to go farther. They are coming together physically and then mentally."

Ke nnedy leaned forward thoughtfully and continued to express his thoughts," I've come to look at the whole world and every individual in it as a minority of one. I don't fee l segr egated against anyone or anything because every person is a minority, inc luding myself. I was taught by my father to accept prejudice as a natural human feeling and the fact that men are men. Ive had expe riences where people have disliked me because of being black a nd an American. I found that as soon as they got to know me, they usually liked me. So it was actually a pe rsonality c las h."

Kennedy dropped out of school to join the servic e at an early age. He wanted to travel and especially see Europe.

"That's the only continent I've never visited," he grinned.

He was in Vietnam since 1959 until last year when he tired of an "unresolved war" a nd came back to the s tates to complete his education.

A freela nce writer,. Ke nnedy has been writing professionally for five years for diffe rent magazines.

His future plans include traveling al over the world for two years and building a concrete boat.

High school graduation is the only r equirement for entry into the course, however, each prospective student is interviewed by Mr. Berard before acceptance.

"This is only an attem pt to point the student in the right direction and to make sure that this is what s he wants."

Dental students are required to take additional courses besides the one in de nti stry. Included are Speech I, Business 51, and Zoology I. "The course also includes seve r al trips to area dentist' s offices for onthe-job training, said Mrs. Berard.

Students may obtain either a certificate, which requires three semesters, or a two year AA degree. Upon completion of the course the student will be assisted in finding a job, according to Mrs. Berard.

Editor: In two hundred years the beach of California has shrunk from one thousand sixty-two miles to two hundred available miles for public recreation. Two hundred miles of beach for twenty million people, three inches per person is all that is now public.

Greed and "progress" are closi ng in on the coast with the public interest being scorned daily as our coast is ind ustrialized: ticky-tackyed; oiled;subdivided and Boise Cascaded from border to border.

What is occurring on your coast is not progress. It is destructive and unplanned, short sighted development at a high profit, robbing you and your children of its beauty foreve r.

You can stop a ll this and save the coast.

AB 1471, whic h will establi sh a Statewide Coastal Commission, has passed the State Assembly and is now before the State Senate. An uprising of citi ze n support is needed right now to override the intense s pecial interest lobbying going on in Sacramento. Wri te , wire and phone your state senator and demand that he support AB 1471 to protect your coast.

It is time to stop a wealthy minority in thi s state from building second home resorts on the public's rightful recreation lands whi le far too many of us are trapped in cities with no first homes, crowded parks and no beaches.
