When we reached the monument grounds late Saturday morning, a crowd of young people were forming and sitting on the lawn in front of a rather large podium situated with the White House (across the street) as a bflckdrop shining brightly in the sun.

When asked what he really felt about that, he said, "If we get Nixon out of the presidency, we still have Nixon's hand-picked man as a successor to contend with. We should push for brand new elections." About three quarters of the crowd listened to the speakers, while the other fourth apparent ly had last minute things to attend to before the march.

The _campaign speech, spon sored by the Metzenbaum for Senate committee and the Guardian, was attended by approximately 700 people. Dia mondback, a Fairborn-based rock group supplied entertainment while the Metzenbaum group dis pensed free soft drinks. And when the senator arrived, he barely stopped walking to the microphone when he issued hi~ first challenge to his opponent in the May 7 Democratic primary. "When I was in Washington, John Glenn was attacking me back here in Ohio. I've chal lenged him to debate the issues in several Ohio cities. Metzenbaum triggered the first minor ovation of the . day by stating "I think President Nixon should resign," and accusing the oil companies of "ripping-off ·the American publi~." Metzenbaum also defended himself concerning his contro versial income tax payments over the last several years. "I paid what I was supposed to pay," Metzenbaum stated. "I don't know of anyone who pays more tax than he's supposed t o." Fielding questions from the spectators, Metzenbaum sympa thized with a commuter student "victimized,. by the high cost of gasoline, and stated he would have to make a decision on abor t ion depending upon the individual legislation proposed in the senate. The senator defended the amount of time he's recently spent away ' from Washington campaigning. "Don't forget," Metzenbaum reminded, "that I cast the de ciding _vote for closure for the campaign reform bill." Metzenbaum was definitely ready for Wright State but was WSU ready for Howard Metzen baum? Before departing, Metzenbaum asked the crowd "are you going to keep me in the senate?" the first reply audible was a "no."

In addition to the candidates for Student Caucus arid the Student Publications Subcommittee of this week's ballot, two amend ments to the Student Body Constitution have been put on the ballot. Written by Dennis Cochran, graduate representative on C~u cus, one of the amendments states that "He (caucus chairer) shall insure that the Student Caucus, Budget Board, and Elec t ion Commission uphold the articles of this constitution." This amendment would, if passed, go under Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution, which defines the position .of caucus chairer. Amendment II states in part "The Chairman may be im peached by vote of two-thirds (2h) of the existing Student Caucus for committing an im peachable offense." Also written by Cochran, this amendment would go under Article I, Section 5', which currently deals with re call. "The Caucus chairer is a Caucus chairer and not a Student Body President or a dictator," said Cochran. "It's to keep a chairer from running away out of con trol," he continued. Cochran observ~d the amend .ments are ''specifically designed for. ~~y . future, chaire~s.", , , "The specific intent of this is to impeach for violations of Article II, - Section 4 and Article I, Section 3 of the Constitution," Cochran said. As it is now, the Constitution states that "Any Caucus ap pointee may be recalled by two thirds vote of the entire mem bership of the Student Caucus." "Recall for inefficiency," said Cochran, "is too hard." "That's gotta' cease to happen. Caucus has gotten a bad name. Caucus has to begin to function effectively," said Cochran who was referring to the recent Chicago incident. As of Wednesday morning, over 400 people had voted. GSAB was the successor organi zation of the Ohio Confederation of Student Body Presidents. Governor Gilligan and these presidents met to set up GSAB. It was composed of 21 people- twenty school representatives and one member from the gover nor's office. GSAB was designed as liaison be~ween the governor and the students of Ohio's colleges and universities. It received funds of $10,500 for this year and next appropriated by the legislature. It's main purpose was to find out about state legislation that was relevant to education, and to then inform the student govern ment of this legislation. GSAB did not work as a lobbying organ ization, however. No one seems to know the real reason behind the dissolution of GSAB. Meetings for GSAB were held the first and third Satur days every month.

Scenery for the play is very good down to the last detail. There is the thin closet, the old metal cabinets and even the hokey tile and woodwork which is characteristic of this era. Background music reflects the time and style. Like the music, costumes also convey the time that the play takes place. The Subject Was Roses is as applicable as it was to 1946. Ii would be very easy for the play to work today because it is t after a war and is centered around a veteran. That war could be the Vietnam War and the vete ran could be a Vietnam vet.

The best person for the job of all . the can didates running is Robert Harvey. Harvey is a person who can discuss issues calmly and intelligently. He ·is truly inter ested in serving student needs, and he will not put his own interests above those needs as the present chairer has done. Harvey is well aware of the problems facing Caucus this year. As such, he will avoid the mistakes which have led to the confusion over the Caucus chairer's ·role. A vote for Harvey is a vote well taken. Failure of intent The two constitutional amendments on the election b~llot are admirable in their intent , . but unfortunately they would fail to achieve that intent. They are designed to 'cut down to size' future Caucus chairets who might try to duplicate Bill Roberts' attempt to turn the office into that of a student body president, which it was never intended to be. Inste.a d, by placing more emphasis on the position of chairer, they reinforce the myth that the position is something special, which it isn't. The remedies in the amendment would in practice have no real effect on the power of the chairer. Urider the circumstances no amendments at all are better than q1ese. The GUARDIAN urges you to vote no on these amendment~.

Four is a magic number by Tom Snyder Four is a magic number this Saturday in Ohio. Because it was on that day, four years ago on May 4, that Ohio National Guardsmen took aim at students and killed four of their number. This Saturday, a rally spon sored by the Indochina Peace Campaign will occur at the Kent State University Commons at 2:30 pm. Among the participants, Jane Fonda, Daniel Ellsberg, who re· leased the Pentagon Papers tc the New York Times, .Julian Bond, civil rights leader, and Dean Kahler, wounded in t he shooting will speak. Car pools to the rally from WSU are available. If you need a ride, contact Sue at 275-9250 or Jeff at 227-7227 or 275-8485. The Kent State rally will not only protest the cover-ups at Kent State and Jackson State, around the country. Only a few points need to be made on the events of t hat day, and the events which followed. Of the four students killed that fateful day, only one, Jeff Miller, whose photo is pictured on this page, was directly associated with the protesting, according to . James Michener's book on Kent State. The others were just students either eyeing the proceedings or going back and forth between classes. · Many people forget that a lot of those students may not have been there if Governor Rhodes and the school officials had not been · so belligerantly against closing the school. They thought closing the school would be acceding to the protestors' demands. But nothing less than disen gagement from Southeast Asia would have satisfied the protes tors. Some .fascists, there is only one word for them, even think killing students "served them right."

Beginning Friday, May 10. at 7 pm and continuing through late Sunday afternoon, it has been designed to provide stu de nts an opportunity for focusing on leadership potentials and skills. According to Joanne Risucher, Asst Dean of Students, the pri mary goal of the laboratory is to help students who are active in group projects and student or ganizations become more aware of leadership needs and abilities. The more aware the leader is, the better group processes can take place, said Risacher who is a co-facilitator for the laboratory. "The leader must be able to trust to members of the group and allow them to accept some of the responsibility in order to [unction effectively." The laboratory will consist of large and small group processes and· individual choices -- all of which will involve experience in dealing with roles as leaders and followers. The experiences in- elude identifying leadership, manipulation and control, decision making, competition and feedback. Gene Eakms of the Speech De partment. Co-facilitators will be Jim Newt on, Tom Bozell, and Risacher. The laboratory, which is to be held at Boy's Camp south of Covington, Ohio, is being orga nized by Terry Gibney of the University Division. The staff includes Laurel Pastor of the University Division, Earl Zwets chke of Counseling Services, and Potential leader s in campus or ganizations and other students interested in developing leader ship skills are encouraged to at tend.

The Ombudser's office recently discovered that access to student records supposedly regulated by standards set by former WSU President Brage Golding, was being permitted to just about anyone who dressed like a faculty member. Weh Norman, of the Ombuds er's office, attempted to secure a student's records one day and was turned down basically "be cause he was dressed like a stu dent," according to Bob Carr, student Ombudser. "Many occa sions before we had used the by Karen Welzel The question of who has the st~ right of access to a WSU dent's records,. and who doesn't, has arisen agam. Registrar's office to check student records for cases. In this event, we decided to check on exactly what the policy was toward granting access to an in dividual's records." The existing guidlines were established by Golding so that a student could know just who had. checked private records held by the university. A record card has to be filled out with the name of the requestee and purpose. These cards are filed with the individual record for the stu dent's information. . ·················· ················•• •••·•••··•·••·· ·•• ~ •• •• •• •• • efreshelt course. •• •• • • . Advisors and instructors ap parently need access to records for scheduling and grading, but, according to Carr, the Regis trar's office was npt being discretionary in this sense. "The record card system was not being enforced at all," he adds. "I talked to the registrar in the office and it was indicated to us that, indeed, his office was not questioning anyone on the faculty or administration about access to the student records." The Ombudser's office ques tioned the practice as discrimi natory because practically any one was being permitted access to records except in this instance the Ombudser's office. The Provost's office tracked down the memorandum by Gold ing concerning the rules. The Ombudser' s office then re quested the Provost to ask the Registrar to enforce the policy that is in existence. Carr feels that a student•s records are confidential and pri vate; accessibility should be limited. "We went one step further. Our office now requires that students sign a statement granting permission to look at their records. We won't look at all unless such a statement is signed." Students' records include tran scripts, admission tests, and other academic information. "The record is assigned to a per son and not to a university," Carr continues. "Access should be scrutinized carefully." The .Qmbudser's staff agrees that a student's records are now safer since the policy concerning accessibility is being enforced. The Registrar's offices is being monitored carefully to check further abuses. PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS ! ... . • WSU's RESIDENCE HALL ' WILL BE OPEN ..

The quote definitely described the Ashland College Eagles when they swept a doublehe ader from the Raiders Saturday by identical 4-3 scores. In the ·f ifth inning of the first contest the Green and Gold took a 3-1 lead on a triple by Terry Green, a Steve Limbert walk, and a single by Tom Nevius. With two outs, Raider Bo Bilinski lined a single and the Ashland right fielder overthrew third base allowing two Raider runs to cross the plat e . Fate w as against the Raiders as the Purple Eagles struck in the bottom of the sixth inning. With two out s and the bases loaded, the destiny of God struck. Pitcher Bob Grote threw a slider and the Ashland batter tapped a routine grounder toward short stop Limbert. The white baseball had eyes on this day as it decided to take a dirty 10-foot hop over Limbert's outstretc hed glove. Ashland tied the score and won he game in the seventh inning. The second game also provided · much frustratio n for Coach Don Mohr and his Fairborn Nine. The Raiders held a 2-0 lead in the sixth inning on southpaw John l ~~ DAI L Y'S Heft's hurling. The combinat ion of walks, a wild pitch and terrible relief pitching helped the Eagles lunge into a 4-2 lead. In the seventh inning the Raiders made an effort to tie the game. With the score 4-3 and runners stationed at first and third with two outs, Bo Bilinski stepped up into the batter's box. Coach Mohr called upon a delay steal of second in hope of sur prising Ashland and breaking the runner at third into home with the tying run. Bilinski had one strike when Don Obringer broke hard for second base on the next pitch. The Ashland catcher fired the ball to second base and Tom Nevius dashed from third to home plate. But fortune haunted Obringer as he was unable to stop his moment um from reaching second base before Nevius could cross home plate.

Woman enrolls in men~ Phys Ed course (CPS) --After being bounced around within her college hier archy, Julia Pommert of Lane Commun ity College in Oregon has been permitted to enroll in a men's physical education class. The situation developed last fall when Pommert decided she would like to take a course in weight-lif ting, but was presented with the obstacle that the course was offered only to men. College officials at first insisted that it was impossibl e for her to take a men's Phys Ed course, and instead tried to get her to enroll in a women's course with a spe- cial program. But Pommert re· fused, because the men's course already suited her needs, and "l thought I would improve more if I had some competiti on." Although she never received a flat denial, Pommert said she would have to justify why she wanted to take the class to everyone she talked t o. "I had to have reasons," she said, "specific reasons. I doubt if a man would have to do that," she added. Eventuall y, the college gave in and permitted Julia to take weight-l ifting, i n which she earned an "A".
