All that jumping around pooed out cheer- leader Kathy Luginbill who took refuge behind the Sousaphone. Soon the V for victory was raised and met with a cloud of confetti, and the campus adjourned to wait for the evening's concert. The Brothers Four, above, sang in popular melodious style of the Lettermen, the headliners at the previous homecoming's concert. Controversy somehow cropped up over the hillbilly rock performed by the Fly- ing Burrito Brothers, right. Over 500 of the audience decided that they would rather be elsewhere, and left during the Burrito's performance.

5 4 J' V, ui: ,W V r ff' The Homecoming game against the Augustana Vikings Went very well with the Titans skunking them 30-0. Even so, there were enough frantic moments to excite Dean Jensen. Above, it looks good at first, but the Titan defense lets one through, and in the third frame the Dean bewails an Augie first down.

Ti-Grace Atkinson spoke to 500 people in the Main Lounge one September eve- ning. The former head of the National Organization for Women dealt with the issue of sexism in American society, in its law enforcement, religious institutions educational establishments, and in the mind-sets of the vast majority of its citizens. Exploitation, sexploitation, the need for extra-uterine reproduction, HAH churches will have to go . . .

Where are your heads at, girls? Will you acknowledge your sisterhood? James Farmer was the Founder's Day Convocation speaker. The former head of the Congress on Racial Equality and recent Undersecretary of Health, Educa- tion and Welfare told how everything has changed, only everything's the same. Conditioned racism is a fact of American society. People must be made aware of this effect. It is impossible for a white to grow up without some feeling of supremacy, blacks are taught self-rejec- tion and self-hate. The young have changed that inferior feeling to Black is beautiful. One needs to love one's self to love others. America is a pluralistic culture, not a melting pot. We are a country of hyphe- nated people. Americans need to sense their heritages and be willing to work together. From a letter in the ARGUS from the Black Student Association: . . . To our great dissatisfaction, unlike other Founder,s Day speakers, flames Farmerj was not awarded an honorary doctoral degree. It strikes us as being quite strange that this particular year would be chosen to dispense with the customary ritual . . . It seems it, uh, didn't occur to them what makes the choice.
