Students Thumb Resolution; Want Apology A referendum asking UCI stu- dents whether they support the Viemam resolution passed by the ASUCI Senate October 23 was de- feated last Thursday and Friday by a 2-to-l vote. Six hundred and eleven students stated they believe the student gov- ernment body should retract the resolution; 317 supported the meas- ure. The referendum was only one of several issues which students Yoted on last week. They also filled ASUCI Senate vacancies in six schools, voted on a constitu- Volume II, Number 13 tfonal am e n d m e n t and stated whether or not ASUCI president and vice president Krisman an d Harlan should publicly apologize for the resolution. The resolution, which passed with a 12-4-1 vote, stated that the United States is "the single great- est threat to peace and progress of the world's peoples" and called for withdrawal of troops from South Vietnam. The referendum was held after the Senate received many com- plaints from students about the Vietnam resolution. The prime ob- jection ro the notice was that it began with the words "The Asso- ciated Students of the University of California Irvine . . ." Many students would not sup- port the resolution since it, in fact, did not represent their own opinions about US involvement in Vietnam, and therefore, should not have purported to speak for the entire ASUCI. Students also voted 3-to-l to have President Krisman and Vice President H a r 1 a n apologize for their involvement in the resolu- tion. Approximately 650 students asked for a statement from the ASUCI executives, and 282 felt no apology was necessary. Fourteen senators were elected to Senate to fill vacancies. From . biological sciences, P a t Stelzner was reelected, and Jeff Kurtz was voted onto the Board. Jim Skinner and Bill Lauer were elected to serve on the Senate, (from physical sciences). · vVith a single-vote majority, Bill Coon won over Craig Schwerdt for the engineering position. Two senators from humanities were reelected: Ken Cowan and of California, Irvine Peter Herman, who held a one- vote lead over "fifth place" John Krall. Two new Senators, R o n Ridgle and Bob Campbell also were chosen to fill humanities va- cancies. From social sciences, Ian Mc- Lean was reelected, and Rick Ev- ans was elected to serve. All three candidates for Senator- at Large were elected .to fill the three vacancies. Serving on the ASUCI body will be Paul Poz- manter, Terri Boggs and Patti Nel- son.

Note: The following statement was given to the Ant- hill by ASUCI President Mike Krisman and ASUCI Vice President Craig Harlan. It answers a 2-to-1 election vote by students requesting that Krisman and Harlan publicly apologize for a Vietnam resolution passed by the ASUCI Senate October 23.) by ANNE BUTCHER W. H. Ferry, of the Santa Bar- bara Center for the Study of Dem- ocratic Institutions spoke Friday to a SRO audience in the Science Lecture Hall on the importance of regulating technology for con- temporary and future society. In his speech, "Tonic and Toxic Technology," Ferry stated that' "toxic and tonic potentialities are mingled in teclmology and that our most challenging task is to son them out." Quoting J. K. Galbraith (Tbe Listener, Nov. 17, 1966, p. 712) ," ... to a far greater extent than we imagine our beliefs and cultural attitudes are accomo- dated to the needs and goals of the industrial mechanism by which we are served." He later added his own version of "People First, Ma- chines Second." "Efficiency is the universal watchword." What is lost by man in defer- ence to technological entities? Pri- vacy, right to quiet (sonic booms), fresh air, etc. Will technology fi- nally overwhelm us? Will we de- rel op something akin to the Good German Syndrome, letting Con- gress bear the sole burden of de-· cision? Education lnvad,ed The field of education has been invaded by a multi-billion dollar market, which includes teaching machines, TV and computers. Ferry suspicioned that the motive of the companies involved is profit, not education. The succ- ess of such innovations gives rise to the pos- sibility of teacherless schools and srudents robbed of individuality. Students such as those demonstrat- ing at Berkeley are inclined to wish to prove it to themselves that "men are still men, and not the keys of a piano . . ." (Doestoev- sky's Underground). Ferry went on to say that, "we need to assign ro their proper place the services of scientists and technologists. The sovereignity of the people must be re-established. Rule must be writ- ten and regulations imposed. The writing must be done by statesmen and philosophers consciously intent on the general welfare, with the engineers and researchers sum- moned from their caves to help in the doing when they are needed." "America is not so much an afflu- ent as a technical society; this is the essence of the dilemma. One good way to get at it, in my judg- ment, would be through a revision of the Constitution. If technology is indeed the main conundrum of American life, as the achieving of a more perfect union was the principal conundrum 175 years ago, it follows that the role and control of technology would have to be the chief preoccupation of the new founding fathers." In Control In conclusion, he stated that, " ... the coming generation will 1>e the last generation to seize con- trol over technology before tech- nology has irreversibly seized con- trol over it. A generation is not much time, but it is some time ... We has yet a little while in which to learn, so that we may be in fact the pogrammers of the future and not the programmed ." (L. Heilbroner's Most Notorious Vic- tory). Faculty Talk Following Ferry's presentation members of the UCI faculty and Carl Jelinek, UCI student, gave their views on the subject. Jelinek, who was introduced by Robert Saunders, dean of the school of engineering, refuted Ferry's criti- cisms of technology. Dr. John J. Holland, professor of microbiolo- gy, was the next speaker. He did not agree that machines were au- tonomous, but that man was re- sponsible for his own problems. In view of the increase in over- population, there would be no fu- ture without technology. Man must dominate machines. Looking to the past history of man, which has often been violent, he stated that we need technology and must change "the thing that crawled out of the cave." He did not advocate replacing teachers with machines, ref erring to the innate beauty of his daughter's nursery school class. "People First . . ." George W. Brown, dean of the graduate school of administration, expressed dismay at "people first, machines second" even being men- tioned in the same breath, men's duty not being to serve machines. Hey, Cats! Are you endowed with a spi- rit of inquiry? musical talent? interest in the fine arts? hep on a musical instrument? or do you just dig jazz, MAN ! ? For the first time, the Ex- perimental College is offering a course in jazz. The class is spon- sored by UCI staff members, Dr. Daniel Dennett (philoso- phy), Dr. Stanley Munsat (phil- osophy) and Dr. John Wallace (psychology and administra- tion) . The last meeting was held at the home of Dr. Den- nett on Thursday, November 16. A discussion ensued on jazz piano style. The previous meet- ing centered around blues styles. The next meeting will be held again at Dennett's home on Thursday, November 30, at 7:00 P.M. The address is 17702 Pal- mento Way, Irvine, 833--0403. The topic for discussion will be vocal jazz styles. The group may plan future trips to jazz concerts in and around Orange County. Those who play musical instruments and are interested in participat- ing in a performing jazz group should contact one of the spon- sors. He regretted the telephone's in- vasion of privacy and suggested technology could be improved with more technology such as a way being devised so that the per- son calling would have to state his name and the business of the call before the person receiving the call would have to reveal whether he was home. Professor Julian Feldman por- trayed ''the schizoid nature of the whole issue." We are against sonic booms and planes flying over our house but would rather fly to San Francisco than drive. We object to the phone ringing, etc. He also stated that he "would never call George Brown again." Robert Saunders concluded the talk and advised the audience to adjourn to the fine arts patio where coffee and doughnuts were served. The discussion was continued in FA 1616 with the panel of speakers answering question from the audi- ence. The Statement of Principles adopted by the Senate and endorsed by the Executive Branch last month is still con- sidered a valid expr.ession of concern by the ASUCI Presi- dent and Vice President. Last week's vote would appear to indicate a student resentm,ent at being aroused from their wi.nter slumber; not a vote for or against war, poverty and disease, but rather, a wish that they not be confronted with such issues. We feel that no apology is necessary because: 1) your representative government was acting in a legally con- stituted manner, i.e., acting as spokesmen for their constitu- ,ents; and 2) the iudgment of a man's beliefs as unpopular does not then require an apology for those beliefs. Howev.er, it is obvious that a maiority of the voting students do not agree with the October 23 Statement of Principl.es, and that the present student government may no longer state that those principles are representative of the Associated Students of the University of California, Irvine. MICHAEL KRISMAN President, Associated Students CRAIG HARLAN Vice President, Associated Students GGA Gets Reactor Contract A $395,604 contract has been awarded to Gulf General Atomic of San Diego for the installation of a TRIGA Mark I nuclear re- actor at UCL Dr. F . S. Rowland, chairman of the UCI department of chemistry, said it is the first reactor to be in- stalled principally for use in "hot atom" chemistry research, and the first to be installed for any purpose in Orange County. It is the second "pulsing" reactor at a university campus in California. The other, a TRIGA Mark III, is located at UC 1969 Completion Coulson Tough, campus archi- tect, said installation of the device will begin in the near future in the basement of the new $9 million Physical Sciences Building which is under construction on the UCI campus. Both the reactor . and the building are scheduled for com- pletion early in 1969. Gulf General officials said a fea- ture of the TRIGA reactor is its inherent safety, whereby the react- or automatically shuts itself down, independent of control devices, if fuel temperature (power) exceeds a pre-set level. It will be the 41 st TRIGA system in use or under construction in the world. Professor Rowland explained that the reactor will be used as a prin- ciple tool in a research program which will explore the mechanisms of chemical reactions. He and oth- er scientists in the department of chemistry, including Dr. Edward K. C. Lee and Dr. George E. Mil- ler, have been using the TRIGA reactor and linear accelerator fa- cilities at Gulf General Atomic lab- oratories in San Diego for "hot atom" experiments. Kansas Research Before joining UCI in 1965, they conducted similar research at the University of Kansas. Their work is carried on primarily under con- tract with the Atomic Energy Commission. The hot atom chemistry research involves reactions of isolated atoms formed with energies equivalent to temperatures of 100,000 degrees centigrade. The study is pertinent to reactions occurring in rocket fuels and rocket reentry problems, Rowland said. , Installation of the TRIGA will permit the UCI scientists to study · reaction energies at a much higher level than those produced by "con- ventional" high temperature meth- ods, he said. Other facilities slated for in- clusion in the new six-story build- ing include classrooms, laboratories and offices for the departments of physics, chemistry and mathemat- ics. Up Enrollment Physical Sciences Dean Freder- ick Reines said the addition al space will permit enrollment at Irvine to increase from it present 2835 to 3400 students during the 1968-69 academic year. The $9-million facility, including site work, equipment and furnish- ings, is being financed by state bond funds and a $2 .5 million fed- eral grant authorized from the Higher Education Facilities Act for major laboratory equipment, in- cluding the reactor. The building is designed by arch- itect Kenneth S. Wing, F AIA, Long Beach, and is under con- struction by general contractor J. B. Allen and Company of Ana- heim. It is the first major academic structure to be added to the initial campus facilities and also will be the largest. It is located in the ring of buildings around the central campus park, at the south-west side. The new reactor will be in- stalled in the basement of the new steel-frame building, within a large aluminum tank. The reactor core will be submerged in a pool of de- mineralized water 10 by 15 feet across and 25 feet deep. Shield The pool water will serve as a transparent radiation shield, per- mitting visual observations while the reactor is operating, Dr. Row- land said. 4 The scientist said the reactor will have a steady-state power level of 250 thermal kilowatts and will be capable of brief pulses of 250,000 kilowatts. The design permits fu- ture upgrading to a steady-state power level of 1500 kilowatts and a pulsing level greater than 4,800 megawatts. lnt'I Club Tomorrow The UCI International club will hold a meeting tomorrow at 6: 30 p.m. in the University Interfaith Lounge, Town Center. The purpose of the meeting is to acquaint all interested students of the goals and objectives of this club and to elicit membership from the UCI community. An election of officers will also be held.

by ANNE BUTCHER W. H. Ferry, of the Santa Bar-

bara Center for the Study of Dem-ocratic Institutions spoke Friday to a SRO audience in the Science Lecture Hall on the importance of regulating technology for con-temporary and future society.

In his speech, "Tonic and Toxic Technology," Ferry stated that' "toxic and tonic potentialities are mingled in teclmology and that our most challenging task is to son them out." Quoting J. K.

Education lnvad,ed The field of education has been

invaded by a multi-billion dollar market, which includes teaching machines, TV and computers. Ferry suspicioned that the motive of the companies involved is profit, not education.

GGA Gets Reactor Contract A $395,604 contract has been

awarded to Gulf General Atomic of San Diego for the installation of a TRIGA Mark I nuclear re-actor at UCL

Dr. F . S. Rowland, chairman of the UCI department of chemistry, said it is the first reactor to be in-stalled principally for use in "hot atom" chemistry research, and the first to be installed for any purpose in Orange County. It is the second "pulsing" reactor at a university campus in California. The other, a TRIGA Mark III, is located at UC Berkel~y.

The University And The Military

by BILL BOLLINGER and PATTY LEE PARMALEE

(The growing dependence of the U.S. military on the uni-versity as well as the direct involvement of universities in the prosecution of the war in Vietnam were major topics at a con-ference in Chicago last week sponsored by the Students for a Democratic Society. This is the first of three articles.-ed.)

The Liberal University Establishment's general condemna-tion of the war in Vietnam is a facade. Behind it lies a cold reality of complicity-direct and indirect involvement in every-thing from counter-insurgency to chemical-biological warfare.

University administrations and faculties go to great lengths to permit students to exercise their intellects and worry their moral consciences over the complexities of Vietnam. Such debate gives students the illusion that the university is an open

forum, uncompromised, sanctified, disinterested, an arena for the pursuit of truth.

But underneath the surface these same administrators and professors are engaged in a hectic competition for Department of Defense and CIA contracts. By 1964 Defense grants to uni-versities alone totaled $401 million. Much of this is secret research.

The most celebrated exposures of secret contracts were the discovery of Michigan State's efforts to bolster the Diem regime in power in Vietnam and the uncovering of chemical-biological warfare research at the University of Pennsylvania. The ensuing uproars shook the very foundations of both uni-versities.

Last month students discovered an extensive counter-in-surgency program for Thailand at the University of Michigan. This program includes the training of Thai military personnel and the development of sensitive electronic equipment which can detect guerrilla bodies in dense jungle.

Twelve major universities, including Berkeley, Cal Tech and Stanford, are members of the Institute for Defense Analysis. IDA describes itself as "a non-profit corporation to provide the Department of Defense with scientific studies in national security."

IDA studies conducted in the past few years include: "Small Arms for Counterguerrilla Operations," "Tactical Nuclear Weapons-Their Battlefield Utility," "Chemical Control of Vege-tation in Relation to Military · Needs," and "A Rational Approach to the Development of Non-Lethal Chemical Warfare Agents."

(Last week newspapers reported that !DA-developed de-vices have now been adapted for use in domestic "riot control". The ultimate irony will be when they are finally used against student demonstrations on the very campuses where they were developed.)

A great deal of military-sponsored research is no longer classified, and many contracts seem innocently unrelated to any military purpose. This is especially true of the growing mili-tary investment in the social sciences. '

This year the Department of Defense is estimated to be spending about $31 million in the social sciences. Much of it goes for anthropological, sociological and psychological re-search in underdeveloped countries, such as Project Camelot which was exposed in Chile last year causing scandal that rocked U.S. embassies all over Latin America. The object of this type of reasearch is to make possible the control and mani-pulation of potential revolutionary situations.

Military rapport with the social sciences developed out of cooperation during the Second World War. The State Depart-ment's traditional skepticism of the intellectual community has al lowed the Department of Defense to penetrate and even dominate many aspects of U.S. foreign policy through the academic community. For example, the U.S. Ambassador in Chile was unaware that Project Camelot even existed.

One can imagine the State Department's frustration when one of their sterile embassy reports is discredited in front of the President's staff by Mr. McNamera who says, "Well, our research oeople at M.l.T. and Berkeley have analyzed the situa-tion entirely differently ... "

The war in Vietnam has, of course, only accelerated mili-tary and CIA domination of American foreign policy, and the university continues to be the essential vehicle for this process.

SDS: Orange County's Best Frien On Wednesday, November 15, in the

Gateway Plaza, there took place a scene the like of which has not been seen by UC! stu-dents since recess in the second grade. The Students for a Democratic Society (or do these initials stand for Sophomoric and Demented Silliness?) once again proved their value to the John Birch Society, the American Legion, Mothers for a Moral America, and other pil-lars of the local community whose mission is to prove that everyone with an IQ over 80 and who can read without moving his lips is an agent of the Great Red Conspiracy . On that afternoon, the SDS attempted to initiate rational debate on the presence of Marine re-cruiters on campus by throwing water bal-loons and ketchup on th(}ir heads and squirt-ing the rest of us with water pistols. The main contention of this group seems to be that mili-tary recruiters should not be allowed on cam-pus because the SDS said so. This idea follows directly from the right-wing philosophy, dem-onstrated during the President's speech at El Toro last week, that all people with beards or with hair still growing in their heads be stopped from hearing their own President because ] ohn Birch said so. The discussion the SDS was supposed to be provoking by their action consisted chiefly of screamed curses and name calling. During the melee, Orange

County news reporters took enough pie to fill three pages of the Santa Ana Reg'

The SDS has abdicated its responsib to rational debate and peaceful dem onstr of dissent at a time when such debate dissent were never more necessary. We now spending slightly less than three hun fifty thousand dollars to rid the world of single Viet Cong. The A dministration afraid to tell us how large a portion of eighty billion defense-budget dollars no~iJJ ing spent per year is being ground into swamps in the most com pletely w asteful monumentally useless expenditure of and capital hum an history has ever witnes The number of starving children and ca patients tha_t eighty billion dollars per would assist is inestimable. As K ing Khu ancient Egypt built a Pyramid in perpetu of his name, to no usefu l purpose what and with the peoples' money and the peo slave labor, so our present m onarch const with slave labor from the Selective Se System, his own Pyramid.

UCICA Needs Student Help To students:

There exists in Santa Ana, 10 miles away from the Uni-versity, a poverty zone. The people that live in this area are primarily Mexican-Ameri-can. There are three primary schools in the area to serve this population, and the UC/-CA wants to help all of them. However, it takes 70 tutors to run one school program effectively. If we are to ex-pand t o meet this pressing need, we will have to triple our enrollment.

Many of the children that attend these schools have f Junked more than three times. Many of them will dorp out of school midway or before they reach high school in or-der to support their f amities, or just because they will run

away. The Santa Ana school district is in the midst of build-ing a new high school. Fre-mont elementary school was built in the early l!J30's.

The normal enrollment in the primary schools in Santa Ana is around 500 to 600 children, with staffs of be-tween thirty to forty teachers. Fremont school has a staff of 23 teachers and an enrollment of approximately 800 children. Half the school is transient ev-ery year. The principal's off-ice is about as big as a toilet stall. He has asked us for help. We have given what we can, bunhere is still much more to be done. We need members badly, and we need them now.

If you can devote one after-noon a week to helping a child learn how to read, to write, to add or subtract, you

Letter To The Editor To the Editor:

It has been said that Orange County is the Nut Capital of the U.S., and so far this year I have seen little evidence to the contrary. It is impossible to spend a full day on the U.C.I. campus without hearing , at least one member of the radi-cal right or left vomiting rhec-toric against the "enemy". Just what constitutes the enemy varies depending on whether the speaker is on SDS activist or a Bircher, but in any case, the one hardest hit by this verbal war is that loneliest of men; the moderate. It is espe-cially hard if that moderate is more tha11 just a sheep, willing to be pushed around by ex-tremist as long as he doesn't have to think for himself.

If he happens to be a con-cerned moderate, concerned enough to stand up for the principle of moderation, he finds himself branded a com-munist by the reactionaries and a fascist by the radicals. Possibly this dual attack is why you so seldom hear a moderate express his views on

a subject, despite the fact that moderates far outnumber ex-tremists on most subjects. What is. needed is not the tra-ditiona I "Silent Center", but a "Militant Moderacy", willing

to fight to preserve its rig a sane society. Moderate the world, unite! You h nothing to lose but y apathy; you have a worl gain! Gordon

An Open Letter To World-Healer Ken

Mr. Cowan states that education in a democracy sho be a dangerous thing. He then proceeds to show us exa what in our education at this institution is dangerous, the r of which is to make this campus appear as ' little more tha glorified Camp Pendleton. He starts out by tel ling us of great democratic tradition and later does a noble job of w ing the Constitution into his argument. He then denies Fundamental idea of our democracy, freedom of speech appears that this campus is barraged by a constant influx military men and Dow Chemical representatives. He seem pass over the fact that the SOS meets regularly on campus. certainly see more signs of the SDS on campus than we d the Army recruiters. Is this wrong? Of course not! As Cowan so elequently puts it, we are living in a democr Therefore, everybody has a chance to speak, be they in b ness suits, or modern Army green, or levis and sandals. equal representation of opposing sides is basic to the exist of our society, and we can no more deny this right to the tary than we can to the Peace and Freedom Party.

Machiavelli Dedicated Statesman, Author

by ANDRE FABRE Nicolo Machiavelli was born in

Florence in 1469. His Toscan fami-ly was comprised of a long line of lawyers and jurists. Nicolo entered politics at the age of 29. For 14 years he served the Republic as sec-retary, then as chancellor. Bet~een 1498 and 1512 many, many factions faced each other in Florecnce, as well as many wars raged in Italy and Europe. Machiavelli was trust-ed with 23 missions to important people: Catherine Sforza (1499 )_; Louis XII of France (1500); Maxi-milian 1st of Germany; and Cesare Borgia (1502, 1503).

When the Medici returned to power in 1512, he was banis~ed tG San Casciano for 14 years. His only release was his writing. This is when he wrote his masterpiece "11 Principe" and also others such as "Discorsi sopra la Prima Deca di Titio-Livio'', "l' Arte della Guerra" etc .... Well, in 1513 they (the reigning powers) pinned the Cap-poni plot on him, jailed him, tor-tured him, but got nowhere. He was set free.

His dedication to his country won him the respect of the Medici. They assigned him small functions, one being the writing of a history of Florence ( 1520) . But again he was thrown aside when his former friends overthrew the Medici in 1527 and restored the Republic. Soon after, the poor dedicated fel-low died, leaving wife and chil-dren - five - in misery, and his history unfinished.

"Il Principe" gave Machiavelli a bad reputation, made him famous but unpopular, and was considered as the bible of political immorality as well as the best reference book on the subject. ' Ve should not separate this work from its cir~ cumstances. Let us not confuse Machiavelian politics with Machia-velli. Machiavelli strongly desired

Info For Transfers

Transfer students should pay particular attention to the follow-ing two academic policies of the Irvine campus.

1. Many transfer students have already completed their College (breadth) requirements at other institutionsr and need not repeat them here. Students who transfer from a four-year institution, and who have met the general breadth requirements of that institution, will be considered to have met the general breadth requirements at UCL Students who transfer from a junior collge and have met the general breadth requirements of any campus of the Uni~ersity of California, will be considered to have met the College requirements at UCL

2. In general, credit is allowed for three courses toward the Col-lege requirement (3-3-6) for one year's work within a divisional area completed at an ac~redited ins~i~u­tion. For example, if a humanmes major has taken one semester of psychology and one semester of sociology at Orange Coast College (6 semester units equal 9 quarter units), he should be considered to have completed three courses in the School of Social Sciences toward satisfying the college requirement. However, the 9 quarter units will only count as two courses toward satisfying the 45-course graduation requirement. A distinction is thus made between the 3-3-6 breadth requirement and the 45-course graduation requirement.

Questions about academic policy may, be directed to Dr. Spencer Olin in the Department of His-tory (Ext. 6501).

to see Italy liberated and united as one nation. He addressed himself to the Italian Princes most able to accomplish that task. He made ob-servations and noted exactly the necessary conditions for success and also causes of failure of those, who, like Borgia, attempted the task. Certainly many of the prereq-uisites appear distasteful to our nar-row minds. However, the deceit, lies, cruelty, immorality and dis-honesty were only means to an end for Machiavelli. That end, in his mind, justified the means.

Machiavelli, statesman, humanist a;lld thinker, lived from 1469 to -1527, one of the most agitated and toubled periods of Italian history. We know he was in the middle of the mess; we can then also under-stand why he became skeptical and cynical. Perhaps his name is known and echoes through the world today - but its ring is of political immorality. Yet to despise the man would be utterly stupid for he was not a common man. He was far from being a "combinazioni" au-thor. He was passionately in with his country. He saw the Prince trapped between the threats of ene-my ambitions and the mediocrity of his people. Said Machiavelli, the Prince should answer force with force, violence with violence, trick-ery with trickery. It was a crime for the Prince to defend his own interests . . . no self defense there. Only the interests of the people lay at stake: everything for the people. Had the Prince the courage to be violent, he could have kept the peace and power of his nation. His land would have prospered in the arts, sciences and religion. The Prince's rightful pretence was not religious, but rather irreligious -immorality sometimes served his ends best.

This stern theory is often mis-understood, and the greatness of it unknown. However, it can be arg-ued in the abstract. It leads to the making of statesmen of the calibre of Pericles, Alexander, Henry IV, etc ....

SAMOAN "PROFESSOR" AT UCI - Miss Sarona Sotoa, daughter of a Samoan high chief and former Peace Corps language instructor, demonstrates the use of a conch shell as a musical instrument in isla·nd rites. She participates as an instructor in a special a.nthro· polog,y course at the University of California, Irvine which brings Samoans to the campus for "live" lessons on Samoa·n culture. ·

Samoan Teaches Anthro The daughter of a Samoan high

chief is teaching at UCI as part of a special anthropology project to introduce students to Samoan cul-ture.

Dressed in her colorful native garb, 24-year-old Sarona Sotoa daily crosses the expansive southern California campus to lead discus-sio~s and studies about culture of her native islands 4,800 miles across the Pacific.

Her work at UCI is a pan of a special project in anthropology which has been organized by Dr. Duane Metzger, associate profes-sor in the UCI school of social -sciences.

Before coming to Irvine to work as language and culture instruc-tor, the daughter of High Chief Sotoa taught the Somoan language ro Peace Corps volunteers in Wash-ington, D.C. She was a public health nurse in the islands before coming to the United States a year ago.

While at Irvine Miss Sotoa is residing with Dean of Students Robert Lawrence and his family in a residential area adjacent to the campus.

Miss Sotoa is one of a group of Samoans who will assist with the special project at UCI this aca-demic year. Afioga Leota Tagalo-

asa, also a high chief of the island group, addressed UCI anthropolo-gy students on the political situa-tion in American Samoa during the first week of classes, with Miss Soatoa acting as translator.

Several other islanders, from among a population of about 2,000 Samoans who reside in Southern California, also are taking part in the program.

In the Spring quarter, UCI an-thropologists plan to bring to cam-pus a Samoan chief who is also a master carpenter and boat builder. The Chief, who has never before left Samoa, will construct on the UCI campus a traditional Samoan fishing boat, using native wood, equipment and techniques.

Instead of teaching a traditional

textbook anthropology course, Pro-fessor Metzger is attempting to utilize "living resources" by having Samoans speak and instruct stu-dents directly.

As the native informants demon~ onstrate how they use their own Ianguage to gather information, stu-dents will begin to explore Samoan belief and action systems directly by learning and using simple ques-tion and answer phrases in the Sa-moan language, Metzger said.

Samoan behavior will be studied as students observe various Samoan performances. Plans also call for a simulation of the traditional Kava ceremony and the holding of a customary Samoan feast later this school year.
