The 1980 Quadrangle A-7 G. Jafiineki Conducting a mime demonstration on the patio, John Ammerman showed students some of the frequently used mime techniques. He is shown here in one of his better moments. MUSE Benefits Wage War on Nuclear Energy A new organization called MUSE - Musicians United for Safe Energy - began its uphill struggle to limit or perhaps eliminate the use of nuclear power plants in the United States. Sponsors of the organization are putting their money where their mouths are. Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Graham Nash, James Taylor, Carly Simon, Bruce Springsteen, John Hall, Jesse Colin Young, the Doobie Brothers, and a host of others staged a five-night benefit in the fall of 1979 at Madison Square Garden raising an estimated one million dollars for the antinuclear movement; a live album made at the concert is expected to bring in another two to four million. Explaining their rationale for forming MUSE, the performers state that music is one of the best ways to reach a large segment of the public - especially those that will have to live with the possible effects of nuclear power. Quite a few people know how important a show of strength and solidarity is, says Jackson Browne. Those who don ' t know and just happen to come to a concert because they ' re attracted by someone they know through music - that ' s fine. We get an opportunity to tell them about the danger of nuclear power. The most exciting thing about the MUSE benefits is that they are cooperative efforts on the parts of the musicians, adds John Hall, perhaps the most outspoken of the anti-nuke musicians. He became active in the movement four years ago when a nuclear power plant was planned for a (continued on p. 8)

A-6 The 1980 Quadrangle G. Jasinski G. Jasinski Editorial cartoonist of The Atlanta Constitution Clifford H. ( Baldy ) Baldowski demonstrates his talent at the program held in the Callaway Science Building. Chalk Talk Presented to Students Editorial cartoonist for The Atlan- ta Constitution Clifford H. ( Baldy ) Baldowski presented a chalk talk and lecture at LaGrange College at a fall quarter forum program. A native of Augusta, Georgia, Baldowski was educated at The Citadel, Charleston, S.C., and the Art Students League in New York City. Baldowski ' s by-line Baldy has appeared on editorial cartoons in The Atlanta Constitution seven days a week since 1957. In 1959 he won the National Sigma Delta Chi award for Distin- guished Service in Journalism for his reflections on the school crisis facing the South. In 1960, Time magazine called him one of the South ' s leading appeals to reason. In 1963, the International Council on Human Relations of The United Methodist Church asked him to com- pile a book of his cartoons on civil rights for publication during the latter part of 1964. In 1965, the National Council of Parents and Teachers honored him with a lifetime membership in that organiza- tion for his work on school drop-outs. Baldowski has participated in a university lecture series at Tulane University, North Carolina State, Mt. Olive College, and the University of Florida. He offered attending students the opportunity to ask questions regarding journalism as a career, and used his chalk drawing pad extensively through- out the lecture. If it ' s not (continued from p. 1) And then there was the time when the ground got covered with snow (the first time) and everyone turned out for the giant snowball battle in the parking lot. The LaGrange Police decided to get in on the action and drove one of their cars onto the campus only to be bombarded by several snowballs which bounced off their auto. The officer inside got out of the car and threatened to take everyone present down to the jail to spend the evening. One student decided to challenge the officer and it appeared as though the poor chap would have to exist on bread and water for a few days. The student kept talking, though, and the officer left without incident. The wizardry of Mr. Fingers amazed and intrigued many students - he affected one student so deeply that the student fainted during the show in the cafeteria. It was later learned that the student was not under the influence of the magic, but under the influence of something of a more distilled nature. Then there was the controversial and ever popular Indies vs. Pi Kappa Phi football game last fall. It seems that one of the players on the Indie team was ineligible for competition since he had not attended one of his classes that day. The Indies went on to win the contest, not knowing that this player was ineligible to compete, and later found that they would not be considered the winner of the game since this infraction had been committed. Although players on both teams were divided as to how the ruling should have been handled, it did not affect the decision made by Coach Hugh Corless. Maybe there should be a change in some of the rules? (continued) on p. 16)

A-8 The 1980 Quadrangle G. Jasinski 1981 SGA Officers Elected MUSE Benefits (continued from p. 7) site six miles from his home in upstate New York. Since then, he has been performing benefits and writing songs advocating the anti-nuclear position. His Power has become the movement ' s anthem. Rock musicians are not new to nuclear politics. In 1974, the first benefit concerts raised money for native Americans fighting for their possessory rights to New Mexico land where uranium mines are located. In 1976, similar benefits raised nearly $160,000 in support of California ' s Proposition 15. It was voted down by a two to one margin, but musicians and anti-nuke forces rebounded with a concert that bounded with a concert that raised another $100,000 and led to the formation of the Pacific Alliance (another anti-nuclear group) in 1977. Benefits have raised money for local alliances on both east and west coasts. Sam Lovejoy is the president of MUSE and heads the production board which supervises logistics for the benefit and works out details for the record and feature film documenting the event. The MUSE Foundation will oversee dispersing the benefit ' s proceeds to local and national organiza- tions to support national actions and for public education across the nation. Lovejoy cites the power of rock and roll money in political campaigns. The Allman Brothers raised money for Carter, and Jackson Browne did the same for Jerry Brown ' s 1974 and 1978 campaigns. It ' s one of the few ways you can raise large dollars without going to rich people, Lovejoy says. Energy promises to be a major campaign issue in the 1980 presidential elections, and Lovejoy believes that anti-nuclear forces are a large enough block of voters to deny the presidency to any candidate who has an unaccept- able energy program in store for the nation. The highly visible musicians will draw public and media attention to the activities of the group. In spite of controversy caused by eligibility requirement disputes, the 1981 Student Government Association officers were elected late Winter quarter. Maw Wood, the newly elected president, promised that all students would be equally represented by his administration. He also stated students would be represented without regard to personal involvement on his part. The officers will face an increasingly difficult task of running the student government because of rising costs of entertainment, including movies and live acts, and, since they totally fund the student publica- tions, rising production costs. Raising the student activity fee is a possibility that will be considered.
