something had to be

ing nearer and nearer, so I went
back to see Bill. This time he had
garnered a iittie more information
that i could use, and S.G.A. Vice-
President Terry Kuykendali was
around and he gave me some inside
knowiedge into what was happening.
Some students had complained to
S.G.A. about the very poor condi
tions of the bathroom faciiities in the
residence hails (although I learned
that S.G.A. was already aware of
the problem; after all, they live in
the dorms, too). The Housing Coun-
cii aiso began working on the prob
lem. It formed two committees—
one for the boy’s dorms, and one for
the giri’s dorms—to investigate the
conditions in the residence hails. So
far, of the girl’s dorms, Edna Moore,
Stroup, and Huffman have been in
spected. No word was avaiiable on
progress in the boy’s dorms. The
oniy improvements that have been
made so far have been made in
Treat, where a bathroom was re-
buiit. Pians are being made to have
the dorms fumigated at the end of
the year. This can’t be done while
school is in progress because it
wouid ruin clothes and other per
sonal belongings.
Unfortunately, that’s all the factual
information that i couid come up
with. I had reaily hoped to be abie
to write a revealing “White Paper"
(because that’s the only “environ
mentally sound” kind to use, you
know, when you fiush) on this sub
ject which wouid spurn the Admin
istration to take some positive ac
tion, or, at ieast, earn me a Coilege
Press Award for reporting. I’ve
about given up on that, though. But
I’m really disappointed that I wasn’t
able to scrape up anything eise; ac
tion needs to be taken I Can you,
reader, imagine anything worse than
getting up early enough to make
breakfast before your 8:00 class,
with your eyelids giued to your
cheeks, and you’re so tired that your
hair hurts, and just as you stumble
into the bathroom, the chemistry
major down the hali warns you to be
careful about stepping on the fioor
because it seems to be “waxed”
with some ooze that has just eaten
his toes. But it’s so eariy you won’t
notice your shortened feet until phys.
ed.; all you know now is that you’ve
got very sticky feet. Disgusting at
best.
Maybe we can recommend to the
Administration that for one of next
year’s Short Term courses, one in
“Latrine Cleanliness” or something
like that, be offered. Perhaps Mr.
Fish could teach it, providing he can
get this mess cleaned up.
I’m glad S.G.A. has begun to do
something about this probiem, but,
since you are ail my friends, let me
leave you with just one piece of ad
vice, okay? There is so much to be
done that I advise each of you to
wear your galoshes and rubber
gloves everytime you go to the bath
room because the end is not
sight.

in the sense that I
had read a 7,000 page book that no
one else had read. I found that a
very lonely feeling.
The position was quite isolating
because it gave me a point of view
on the nature of our involvement that
others could not really be expected
to understand or share. It didn’t
seem healthy for this country, for
our democracy, that there should
be only one, or a small handful of
such experts.
We are talking here about decis
ions that involve the history of all
of us — the history by which our
elected representatives and their ap
pointed officials got us into a major
war. It was something that I thought
every citizen needed to know and
certainly other members of the gov
ernment outside the executive
branch needed to know. They
weren’t complicated, they were facts
of our experience and our decision
making — the performance of the
people that had been elected or ap
pointed. So, I felt that it was es
sential that Congress, in particular,
make good decisions and informed
decisions — that Congress should
know a great deal more about the
background of past decisions than
the Executive had let them know.
Ultimately, I felt the same to be
true for the public, especially after
the last year or so which had seen
two more invasions lake place under
what were obviously conditions of
the same kind of deception and ex
ecutive usurpation of authority that
the earlier decisions had shown.
That led me to the decision to make
this information available to the pub
lic and the press.
NELSON: When did you make
that decision?
ELLSBERG: The decision with re
spect to Congress was made really
almost a year and a half ago. But
I think that it was really after the
Laos invasion this year that it
seemed to be urgent to give a still
wider audience access to this ma
terial.
GREER: There has been a ques
tion in the minds of the Congress
men that met with you recentiy
about whether this study and its re-
iease means that there wiil be sub-
stantiai change in either the public’s
view of wars of this type or the exec
utive steps that leads us Into these
wars.
ELLSBERG: I believe that the im
mediate change to be hoped for is
in the performance and behavior of
the current elected representatives,

Sack To Talk At Moore
John Sack, veteran war corre
spondent and author of the recent
biography of Lt. William L. Galley,
Jr., will discuss the lieutenant and
the court-martial at a public lecture
at Mars Hill'College at 8 p.m. Tues
day, Nov. 9, in Moore Auditorium.
The publication of Sack’s book,
“Lieutenant Galley: His Gwn Story,”
last month rekindled interest in the
My Lai deaths and the fate of
Galley, who was found guilty of the
premeditated murder of at least 22
defenseless men, women, children
and babies.
To write the book— half of which
appeared in Esquire magazine—
Sack spent 100 days with Galley,
asked him 10,000 questions, com
piled 75 hours of recorded tapes
and 40 pounds of transcripts.
Sack is free on bail awaiting a
trial for contempt. The government
subpoenaed his material for its
case against Galley and Sack re
fused to comply.
The biography was Sack’s fifth
book. His fourth, “M,” was cited by
the American Library Association as
the first “notable” book about Viet
nam and was praised as “great re
portage” by The New York Times.
Sack will be the first of five
symposium speakers at Mars Hill.
Jules Bergman, ABC television
science editor, will giye the next
symposium address, “2000 AD, The
Way It Will Be,” on Dec. 7. Douglas
Edwards, CBS television newsman,
Eugene Rogerts, national news edi
tor for The New York Times, and
Judge Braxton Craven of the U. S.
Circuit Court, will participate in the
annual February Symposium.
The symposium series at Mars Hill
began six years ago as an effort to
acquaint students and the commun
ity at large with the issues and prob
lems of contemporary life.
New Department To Be
Headed By Dr. Anderson
by John
Dr. Donald Anderson has been
named chairman of the new depart
ment of Social and Behavioral
Sciences, according to Dr. Richard
Hoffman, Vice President for Aca
demic Affairs.
The new department will offer
majors in political science, sociolo
gy, and psychology, and will become
effective June 1, 1972. In the past
psychology has been part of the ed
ucation department, and political
science and sociology were offered
by the history department. The new
department will enable all of the
social sciences to be together in a
McNutt
single unit. The department was
created in response to the Self
Study, submitted last year.
Dr. Anderson received his Ph.D
from the University of Chicago, and
was chairman of the social science
department at Eureka College for six
years. This is Dr. Andersens first
year at MHC.
Although the new department does
not become part of the curriculum
until next June, Dr. Anderson’s posi
tion took effect Cctober 18. This
was done in order to give him a
year to study the problems of the
department.
