Bugliosi describes Manson as an evil, sophisticated con man. Awareness of the endangered species was the message of SPCA Presi- dent David Palmer who greeted a large crowd waiting to hear the lecture, Wolf, the Endangered Species. After a film dispelling some common myths about wolves, a live wolf named Slick made an appearance in the college theatre. Palmer said the Humane As- sociation works to create public aware- ness and to make sure existing laws protecting animals are enforced. Ted Howard, co-author of WHO SHOULD PLAY GOD'?, discussed the social questions raised by genetic en- gineering. Howard and his colleague, Jeremy Refkin, considered the main investigators of genetic engineering, began their lecture tour in the fall of '77. Controlling nature, specifically tampering with the DNA in human genes to produce superior beings or to create new life forms, is the topic of a heated debate in the political and sci- entific community. Who, if anyone, should play God? One might think menis liberation is not a social issue, but Warren Farrell, October 12 guest speaker, says this just isn't so. According to Farrell, men have been stereotyped. Similar to a robot, the male is supposed to portray a strong, unemotional individual. F ar- rell held a role-reversal day on the C4 campus which was enlightening indeed. A Boy Cayuga beauty contest was held in which the male-only contestants were judged on beauty, poise, and tal- ent. The gym shorts competition went over well. Lucky C4 student, Bruce Hartnett, was crowned the winner. The day was all in fun but left a valu- able message on liberation of the sexes. In light of Warren Farrel1's discus- sion of equality for both sexes, one must wonder why there were no women lecturers to visit the campus. Surely there exist women who would be of interest to the college student of to- day. Perhaps in the future for C4 stu- dents are DNA miracles, the freeing of murderers, the saving of endangered species, and a woman lecturer. Guest Speakers 17

osted by the C4 lecture series, elo- quent speakers delved into a myriad of thought-provoking issues. All authori- ties in their field, each lecturer bore a message of better awareness in one fashion or another. HELTER SKELTER's co-author, Vincent Bugliosi, was the first guest speaker. Bugliosi has studied the Man- son case in its entirety as prosecuting attorney. The well-known case com- menced in August 1969 with the slay- ing of pregnant actress, Sharon Tate, as well as her family and friends. The shocking news began an intense inves- tigation by Bugliosi, who while inter- viewing and investigating practically lived with the Manson family in pre- paring his case against Charles Manson. Out of 106 felony jury trials, Bugliosi compiled 105 convictions.

NPUDDLES ARE THE FOOTSTEPS OF NA- TURE. The poetry of the Cree Indians comes to C4 with Howard Norman. Sponsor- ed by the English and Social Science Depart- ments, his reading gave listeners an insight into the thoughts and culture of the Cree. The simple words spoke of natural, true-to- life happenings and proved that though cul- tures vary greatly, human reactions are much the same everywhere. The same stories that had delighted the Cree Indians for years brought smiles and sudden laughter from the C4 audience. BEING DROPPED on his head when he was a kid didn't affect Bat McGrath's voice or if it did, it was a change for the better. This guitar-pickin'. story-telling folk singer de- lights and amuses his audience during an ap- pearance in the auditorium. Accompanied by electric guitarist Ethan Porter, the two sing out the mellow sounds of Angel. They also played songs from Bat's solo album, Bat McGrath from the Blue Eagle, and sel- ections from his newly released L.P., The Spy. Before the release of his last album, Bat had taken a year off to write and then re- turned to the stage in 1974. An extensive traveler, he has also performed at Toronto, Atlanta, Nashville, Philadelphia, Buffalo, and has continual shows in Rochester. Y l l 'tw r Lia K. 'O O O CU -1.
