It was a small college and it was ruled by Tradition, the wise and able, who solved all the peoples problems with nice stories. Image in your mind, if you can, a concrete and glass building with a grass and asphalt mall separating it from other sundry buildings. In the middle of this mall, up towards the north end picture a great, long table with Chairs and people seated in those chairs. They are engaged in the monthly practice of holding public sessions of the Court of Tradition. It was a time when the people could see their government in action and although nothing consequential was usually accomplished, these m onthly meetings had tremendous PR value. Editor ' s Notebook Week One September 2: By now the football team has settled itself into routine practice. Running through tires is so much fun; New Saga Bob is bobbing his saga ' s... 3: Frederick Douglass escapes slavery, 1838; La- bor Day 1973... 4: An ode to the Health Ser. : Tlie miracles of modern science never cease. Tliey can take the chicken out of pox. Tliey can create life in a plastic box All these are good. All these are due. But the happiest thing the medi- science has done for me, Is place the college health service in obscurity. . . . 5: Orientation leaders arrive; Crazy Horse killed, 1877. . . 6: Freshman and new students arrive.

To his right is The Honourable Legend. To the right of Honourable Legend is seated Ms. Information, and then Sir Belief, Sir Custom, and Sir Practice. To the left of The Most Honourable Tradition Sir is Surrender, and to his left the representatives of the people: Backgammon (a man of business and economics), The Right Reverand Correlation a man of Philosophy and Religion), Herodutus (no relation to the other great Greek), El Ron Cornucopia (a man of science) and Griswold (in charge of maintenance and other neat things). Each of the people seated at the aforementioned table had some official duty. Legend, who played second fiddle only because his name had fewer letters, was the backbone of the bureaucracy. Every morning he would place three or four good stories on the desk Tradition had in the administration building and proceed to the office of Ms. Information who spent her time compiling the stories from the date supplied by Sir Belief (the morale maker); Sir Custom (intent on keeping character sketches in line with previous Tradition tales); and Sir Practice (interested in what the people might do with the stories and also excellent with two hands). Ms. Information covered for Legend on some of the menial tasks. She sent out some of the best stories to local newspapers and other forms of media to have the small college in the middle of the cornfields brought to the attention of the public. She would also reg- ularly compile the Twenty Heavies From Tradition and send them to all the people who once attended the college. Many of these people would in turn donate funds to the institution. These Albanians Living Under a Misanthrope ' s Skepticism, or ALUMS, were generally prosperous and old. -.- % 2SW2 -t Week Two 9: Giapel, 10 a.m. with surprising attendance; Upperclass- men return and immediately get bummed out by their old friends; Pep Rally; rah rah rah rah rah rah rah rah 10: Registration blues; 14 new students wind up in Waid pool following mystic arrows; GKY gets 1,628 add slips and 4,236.4 drops; Afternoon classes meet: It ' s a drag ; Gibson Hall Incendiary Incident. 11: Classes in full swing; Saga Fo od is reality. 12: International club meets; Knox shuttle sen ice cancelled for ob-knoxious reasons. . . 13: Stine announces gift of $550,000, Hots bets Hunk it all will go to phys. ed. dept. . . . 14: Eugene V.

John Raicevich Chapter Two We find ourselves in the office of Ms. Information. Legend has just enter- ed and Ms. Info rmation is pilling through the work from Belief, Practice and Custom (lovingly referred to as the Three Musketeers). How ' d we do last week? she asked Custom. 6.7 on a scale of ten. Not bad for the week of the birth of Bhudda; The assasination of Emihiano Zappata and the Colfax Massacre. What ' s on tap for this week? Benjamin Tucker ' s birthday, the anniversary of the San Francisco earth- quake and the Ludlow Massacre. Sounds like a pretty violent week. Let ' s go at it from the anti-society-is- bad-for-us-all attitude. Think you can do it? All depends on what the Three Musketeers gave me, Ms. Information said as she waived the briefs in front of Legend. Good Luck! As it turned out, the six page character briefs she received from Sir Cus- tom were average; the Top Twenty Morals for Week Thirty-Two of Sir Belief fit right in with the five week projection from Sir Practice. The staff got a 7.2 for week thirty-two from Tradition. Week after week it was the same, excepting the week commemorating the beginning of the Chicago Conspiracy Trial, the Death of Bessi Smith and the manhunt for Willie Boy which soared to an 8.2 for a people strong-forever long approach. We find ourselves in week eleven. Legend has just returned from his morning coffee. s. I., I am very disappointed, Por Que? Every year I see more and more dissidents on campus. It is getting so that you can ' t pass a day without seeing one. I know what you mean. We ought to do something about them. Like shoot them? That was exactly my idea. Let me write Tradition a memo on it. Catch you later. And so Tradition was informed of the dissidents. He had noticed them and they worried him, but now that he received a memo from Legend on it something would have to be done. He disliked the dissidents for a number of reasons. They were always throwing these little plastic discs back and forth between each other. They always stayed up late at night and did things that at the time were unpublishable. Most of all however, the dissidents never asked him for a story.

He was ushered into the story telling room. He failed to rise however, when Tradition entered the room. Good morning son, what is your name? Tradition always liked to act like a father. Most of the other students enjoyed it. Most of the other students also liked the good things like the week- ly contests and the weekly social activities. Tradition bra ced him- self for this first encounter with a dissident. My name is Charley sir, excuse me Most Honourable Tradition Sir. I was wondering if you could tell me a story? Surely my boy. What about The Supreme Courts decides that Indians are aliens? Most Honourable Tradition Sir, I had something a little differ- ent in mind. How about the killing of Baby Face Nelson in ' 33? No Most Honourable Tradition Sir. I would like to hear of you your own past. Your trials and tribulations. The decisions you had to. . . Before Charley could finish Tradition broke in. Son you could never understand that. Why when I was a kid I had to walk through blinding snow and pouring rain for five miles to get to. . . Charley had already walked out of the office. Damnation! These these dissidents!!!!!!! Rosy (who was his sec- retary) Get Legend over here. Legend arrived in the nick of time, for Tradition was throwing things around his office in a terrible rage. Here I am Most Honourable Tradition Sir. Listen Legend and as Tradition pointed his finger at him as if it were a loaded pistol, We ' ve let things go out of hand around here for too long. Exactly sir. There are just too many of those dissidents. Have you got a list of who they are and where they can be found? Yes Most Honourable Tradition Sir. Then here ' s my plan.

The coroner, a life long friend and appointment of Tradition, signed the certificates that indicated that the three dissidents had died of natural causes. They had in fact been attacked by Core Group A . Which had been led by Legend and had consisted of 22 hand-picked men wearing brightly-coloured jerseys purporting symbols of Core Group A. There was one dissident who was not killed, only wounded; and since he failed to show his face the next morning Legend supponsed that he had dragged himself out to the woods to die. 22 XWm i 12 th again: Bemie Berkowitz trio per- forms in gym while S. sheets waits for the Jets to show up.

Here ' s what he had to say about it: Every end must have a beginning and every beginning an end. Man is finite and so is his service to other men and to the institutions created by men. This principle applies to the relationship between Monmouth college and whoever at any point in time may be priviledged to serve as its president. It has been a privelege for me to serve as your president for these three years, I wish to advise you that this morn- ing I requested of the members of the Executive committee that they accept my resignation from the presidency of Mon- mouth College. Much as I might like to do so, I am not at liberty today to reveal my future plans. I very much wish to convey ap- preciation for the cooperation I have enjoyed from all the quarters of the Monmouth Constituency through which we have succeded together in enhancing the vitality of Mon- mouth and its curriculum, it ' s enrollment and in finance. 33 Chapter Four One by one, letters began to arrive at this college in the middle of cornfields from Charley, the dissident whom we have met before as the victim who supposedly had dragged himself out to the woods to die. The letters went to all of Charley ' s friends, in and out of the bureaucracy of Tradition and his claims of mass murder soon be- came the talk over coffee for many of the people of Tradition. The reaction of the people was to continue to ask Tradition to retell his story of the deaths of three members of the community. Tradition at first reacted to this interest in that particular story by complimenting Legend for the fine story. He showered Legend with all sorts of neat things; all those things you see on a late night t.v. and wonder how they work. Legend also received a raise in pay and the honour of having the library renamed for him. Legend was no cheapskate, an all the things he had no use for he passed on to Ms. Information. She did the same for the three musketeers. Sir Practice was the only one to be upset with his gifts. He had abso- lutely no way to get to Gary, Indiana to use the two free tickets to see Donny Osmond and the two back-of-the-cereal-box records of the Jackson Five were cuts he already had on albums, If the truth were known, he desired the Superstar ' s of the Fifties album that was given to Sir Belief and the free-form incandescent coke lamp that Sir Custom received. It would be possible for our story to end here. That is if you want to have one of our characters bummed out. The fact of chap- ter four is that Tradition ' s cover-up of the murders was beginning to be qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqquestioned. ■.••■ ' V-JVitf ' .- • --•; v, ■.« ' ■ -• .Oa.

He was upset over the condition of the washroom in the Union. You know these kids is startin to write some nasty things on the wall in there. He pointed to the only washroom in the Union; right next to the water foun- tain. Any good tips? Practice asked hoping for some leads on his Let ' s end these lonely nights ' crusade. (It is only proper to note that Sir Practice was not watched qqqqqqqqqqqqquite closely enough for the abyss in his in his moral character; only congratula- ted for his success at making the students feel as though they were happy.) Naw, Naw, I aint ' t talking about that. Then why bother me with the comments? Cause they are calling Tradition a liar about the three kids that were killed, saying how Tradition murdered ' em and how bogus Tradition ' s stories about that are. You know these kids are lightheaded. Inside of Practices mind something else was happening. He himself had been a friend of Charley ' s and had received a letter. I ' ll see that it gets reported, Griswold. OK. Yes-don ' t wash it off, I want it photographed and analyzed. And watch that room very closely. Watch who goes in and if there is anything written in there after each person. Got it? OK. Sir Practice went upstairs to his office and called Legend. Le- gend surely would want to know about this. It was about time Practice thought that Tradition find out about this blaspheming. Legend came on the line: Yea Practice what ' s the matter now? It ' s about Charley and all the letters about Charley. What ' s up? Griswold reported to me about a lot of Graffiti that implies that Tradition murdered those three kids and that all the stories about the deaths were made up. Take some pictures and bring them up to the staff meeting this afternoon. Chapter Six Later that afternoon, before the start of the staff meeting, Prac- tice was reporting the inscriptions on the walls displaying the for- ty five, eight by ten glossy photos to Ms. Information, Sir Belief and Sir Custom. Why would Tradition want to kill four students? Ms. Infor- mation asked. I think it would make a good story Sir Belief said flippantly. I don ' t think he killed anyone. Either do I Custom, but the kids are sure heeped up about it. But Belief, what if he did? That ' s a pretty poor opinion from someone as high up on the staff as you are Practice. Tradition entered with Legend, singing one of the songs that no- body else remembered the words to and sat at the head of the ta- ble. Good afternoon smiled Tradition. Good afternoon Most Honourable Tradition Sir replied the chorus of bureaucrats in four part harmony. Well it ' s an 8.4 for last week. Good Show. What can I expect next week? The commemration of the assasination of Ghandi, the birth of Thomas Paine with that of Big Bill Hayward ' s on Friday and the death of Osceala in prison for Wednesday. Sounds like a pretty non-violent week. The three musketeers chuckled in three part harmony. How should we go about this Ghandi thing? Sir Belief asked. Just think of me and look up some facts. Got it? Get it. Got it. Any more qqqqquestions? What about this Charley thing? Legend and I have been discussing that. Have you got the pic- tures Practice? Right here sir. Good Looks like we missed one of those dreadful dissi- dents huh Legend? Looks like it. Excuse me Tradition. Did you say missed one of them? Yes Practice. We murdered the three of them. Missed with that damn Charley. He was the one that had the gall to come to my office, ask for a story and not stick around. That means. This is terrible. A man that believes in Peace and Love working for a bureaucracy that kills people. We had to do it Practice. We just had to do it. You don ' t have to kill anyone Tradition. As for that You can keep you own students happy. I resign. You wouldn ' t want to do that Practice. Whether I want to or not is immaterial. You can consider my resignation to take effect right now. He acts just like Charley, doesn ' t he Legend? Yes Honourable Tradition Sir. 37 v Week Nine 28: BAAC and AZ throw big bash for Jamieson center in the Highlander room. . . . 29: Sam Armato returns to the SAE house; Ruby is still trying to blow my mind.

Vice-President) if I might be able to ask questions at this meeting. Sure he replied if I would only wait for the parents to finish theirs. I dutifully reply to Dan ' s request only to have Van Ryswick reply that if a parent would have asked that question he would have answered it. Well Dean VR, there ' s the floor. You can put your intensive study in your briefcase and walk out cause I ' ll open it for you.

His personal effects were intact, complete with a note in his underwear, a note in his shirt collar and one in his wallet stating that Tradition had murdered the three dissidents, had admitted to it in a staff meet- ing and was probably going to murder himself owing to the resigna- tion he had tendered upon the admission of Tradition ' s guilt. Chapter Eight The communal investigation was envoked to decide the facts in the case of Tradition. It had been a long time since the last Commu- nal investigations were necessary and had come out strongly against them. Second, Tradition had been such a good and just ruler that there had been no need for a communal investigation. For those of you who can ' t remember the last communal investi- gation, it basically was six members of the community chosen at large, to hear evidence and indicate guilt. The punishment was dealt out by a general election in which the alternatives were listed and the one receiving the most votes was dealt out. The communal investigations held their meetings in the mall in front of the union and when it rained they were postponed. The investigations were carried live over the cable t.v. channel and also were carried on one of the local radio investigators, said their peace and retired. Charley came all the way from Galesburg to relate his account of the evening and things were pretty calm until the secre- tary of Traditon, Rosy, testified. She told of a collection of tapes, that Tradition had made off all the staff meetings. Tradition, when asked if he would testify, replied in a deep, calmly assured voice that he Wouldn ' t think of it. Asked for the reason for the refusal, he commented: No Tradition has ever sub- jected himself to testifying before a Communal Investigation and I wouldn ' t start such a revolting sounding practice. As for the tapes he replied that the tapes had been made and nobody is going to listen to tnem but me. So it came to pass that Tradition fell from power in this small college in the middle of the cornfields. He was given a building and a field in which he, and all the people that wished to go with him into exile, could make a living off of. He was cast out for his refusal to answer to the highest institu- tion in the land. So it is that the first book ends. Two separate peoples, once united and now divided because owing to Tradition and the fear of Tradition. 44 45 Ta ta te deum. . . Realizing how inept I am at sports coverage. . .

' One must admire the Scots- I ' ve never been associated with a team before that had two opponents on most Saturdays— the opposing team and adversity , said Reichow. The Scots finished particularly well when one considers the key injuries, the psycholo- gical let-downs and outside distractions that plagues their efforts . Tlie Scots, two-time defending Midwest Conference champs, set a lofty preseason goal of three straight league crowns. Tliey ran their consecutive undefeated string of victories to sixteen, longest for college teams in U.S., before stumbling to an inspired Ripon team on November 2. Ripon had lost John Storzer, head coach, just two days before the game. Injuries to running backs Gary Kinney and Craig Helmick, starting quarter-backs Jim Rose and Ron Smith, All-Conference tackle Steve Pinkus. fullback Bob Pratt, defen- sive end Warren Wilson and safety Mike Dickens magnified the Scot ' s late season problems. Team depth, pride and a fine nucleus of veteran, senior players, allowed the Scots to bounce back and finis i with a fine win in their final game at St. Olafi Their 6-1-1 conference record let them finish a half game from the coveted third straight title, but having the distinction of de- feating conference champ, Coe, 37-14, in a classic battle on homecoming. When the dust of the ' 73 season had cleared, final national statistics fa- vored the Scots in several areas. They finished in the top-ten in Total Of- fense (2), Total Defense (8), Scoring (10), Rushing Offense (21, Rushing Defense (2), and Scoring Defense (8). Two Fighting Scots had the distinc- tion of attaining individual national marks— -senior Al Shepherd completed an illustrious career as the top Punt Return man in the nation for ' 73, and sophomore Ron Baker finished third in Rushing with 189 carries for 1200 total yards (a modern Monmouth College record). Nine Fighting Scots were honored on the All-Midwest Team. On Offense- center Grant Minor and guard Bob Trombetta repeated; joined by tackle Rod Rod Davies and running back Ron Baker. On Defense-tackle Mike Kuhnkey, linebackers Bill Breedlove, Jim Smith and Mark Rueckert, plus Rich Gladi- nus as a deep-back. Twenty-three Scots finish their careers in ' 73, with the dis tinction of having two championships and a second place finish to their credit. Tliey were members of Monmouth ' s only undefeated ( ' 72) team since 1906, and compiled a record of 23 wins, 2 losses and a single tie for Monmouth Col- lege in their three varsity years. THESE MEN TR UL Y EXCELLED. Thanx Moose, We needed that. Now on to CC, rat-a-tat-tat. 46 Cross Country-By Jack Steger Faced with a shortage of runners, experience, and talent, the Scot ' s Cross Country Team struggled through the 1973 harrier sea- son. The highlight of the season was the dual meet victory against Knox on their home course. Our team also placed ahead of Knox in the four-mile conference meet at Beloit. Sophomores Bill Ford (captain) and Tony Banaszewski were the top runners in all of our meets. Freshman Tom Weame, Roger Crocker, and Steve Elliot with little or no previous distance run- ning experience showed improvement throughout the season. Steve Pospischil along with Ford and Banaszwski were the only returning lettermen. Banaszwski had the biggest improvement from the pre- vious year and Crocker was the most dependable freshman. Last but not least: Here ' s a report, On a rather physical sport, Who ' s players often consume yeast. Soccer Participan ts Soccer-By William Urban (He ' s in Italy now or I wouldn ' t have forgotten my advisor ' s title) 3-5 for the season and in contention in every game till the final minutes. Tliat was Coach Urban ' s summary of the soc- cer team ' s first year of conference play. During the previous years, the soccer club had used a 4-2 zone with a diamond-full- back defense-that being the easiest for inexperienced players to learn in a few practice sessions a week. Tins year Coach Ur- ban drew upon his summer studies in Poland to introduce a man-to-man defense, with junior transfer Robert Walkley play- ing the sweeper. It took a few weeks to learn (and a few de- feats) and then the Monmouth team became very hard to score on. The season turned around when the Scots shut out the eventual Midwest Conference champions, arch-rival Knox col- lege, 1-0. Unfortunately the Scots lacked a forward who could put in the goals, and so games were lost 2-1 and TO. At the end of the season Jeff Farley and Greg Pemberton came on strong and tied for high scorer with two goals apiece. Improved attitude gave Monmouth a reputation as a hus- tling ball club. Ttie drills emphasized the pursuit of the ball, eliminating the fear of contact, and developing individual skills skills. Coach Fernandez supervised team play, and particularly worked with the ever-changing front line, trying to develop some offense. Coach Waggener was responsible for condition- ing and training. Tliere were ten seniors and no freshmen, but the squad was inexperienced to a degree unprecedented even in Club play. (Half of the seniors had never played before) Nevertheless, Captains Jaime Wells and Robert Walkley brought their team along very rapidly, so that by mid-season the coaches no long- er had to yell instructions from the sidelines. Tlie team under- stood what it had to do, and did it automatically and willingly. Tlie result was a good team, and a fine defense. In December seven players joined the knox coach and four of his squad for a soccer invasion of Barcelona, Spain-un golpe tremendo!

He was slightly peculiar, but then what great men are not in some ways peculiar? However, this man ' s peculiarities were the derivation of his name. He was the First Ar- menian-Zambian Oriental Orinthologist; and instead of walking around and throwing out all of those big words when he was hap- pened on in the countryside the people took the first letter from each of his peculiarities, ran them together, and simply called him FAZOO. The Fazoo was very good at what he was doing, and as time went on, as it always seems to do, he became known not merely as the FAZOO, but as THE GRAND FAZOO. v 63 oo as CO nj to c li £■=.£ o u o m o22 33! ■ o J 6 ?

We Want A Few Good Men «A ' ' ' . „    ' • ' Now all of the people in our little college in the middle of the corn- fields had heard of the Grand Fazoo ' s ability to deal with problems and had sent messengers out to find him and summon him to the college. After six days, four hours, seventeen minutes and thirty-eight seconds, one of the messengers, in fact the messenger who was sent to the east, returned and releived the people ' s fears by carrying the Grand FAZOO ' s message of acceptance. The town prepared itself by hanging welcoming signs from windows and painting slogans on the walls. The Grand FAZOO was desperately needed. Since the ouster of Tra- dition terrible plagues had fallen on the small college in the middle of the cornfields. One of the pizza joints had closed down, ending the piz- za wars and curtailing the wartime practice of free delivery of pizza. The meat packing plant that supplied the sausage for the sausage pizza ' s suffered a reduction in demand and a cutback in production that not only put people out of work but also threatened to cease all the nice smells the plant put in the air. These nice smells were needed for with- out them the whole place would smell like a giant cherio, because of grain processing plant odors that filled the air. THE FAZOO LIVES One warm and muggy early spring-like day near the end of the month of Janus while all of the people of the small college in the mid- dle of the cornfields were sitting around watching Hogan ' s Heros on the communal T.V. set, a cry came from the east lookout announcing the approach of a lone figure from the east. As the figure approached closer and closer, more and more of the people pulled themselves away from the T.V. set, and filed over in nice neat rows to the east gate. The final group of stragglers headed for the gate when the t.v. flashed Hail the FAZOO in color. This was surely a work of magic for the people had never seen color t.v. before. They were convinced that this Grand FAZOO was all-powerful although a few claimed that he had frinds at the local cable t.v. company. All ex- cept Griswold (who stayed behind to make sure no one wrote on his walls) watched the Grand FAZOO enter the community. Dave Kail y ___ 88 ar- r Tlic 1973-74 Fighting Scot basketball team completed one of the most successful seasons in recent Monmouth College history. Highlighted by a string of seventeen consecutive wins, the Scots went on to capture its first M.W. C. Championship since 1956. Supported by the M.W. C. Championship, the Scots also accepted a bid to play in the N.C.A.A. Midwest Regional at Grand Forks North Dakota. Monmouth College was defeated by host North Dakota University 73-6 7 thus terminating their season with an ul- tra-successful 18-5 record. 77 c Scots were led by co-captains Donovan Hunter. Tom (ail- house, and all-conference performer Bennic Coleman. Consistency and balance appeared to be the key for this year ' s baskethallcrs with Bobby Joe Mason. Neil Alexander, Bob Schlicksup. Jeff Mc- Clinc and Otis Porchia all making significant contributions. The fu tu re for the Scots appears to be equally bright with only Donnic Hunter and Bobby Joe Mason lost to graduation. Retumin letterman Barry Bcssert. Norm Ralph. Doug Stickles. Skip Pcnmie- ci and newcomers Brad Wolfe, Joe O ' Brien. Kevin Smith and Dave Purlcc appear to be very capable of taking up any slack as a result if graduation. The Monmouth Aquascots swam to their best season in over 10 years this year, compiling a 6-2 dual meet record, swimming very respectably in some tough invitations and capping off the season with a sixth place finish in the Mid- west Conference Championships. Tlie team, captained by senior Steve Hart and junior Chas Blythe, was quite diversified in its talents which enabled Monmouth to fully cover every event in competition. The squad, in addition to being talented, was also the largest in the school ' s history, numbering 16. Aside from the two captains, both sprinters, the underclassmen provided the team with a great deal of the talent that the Fighting Scots had. Outstanding mem ! ers of the team included: Mike Xitch and Hub Springsteen Hob Trey nor. Hob Ihttson, Steve Pearson Gary Peck and Dave Bowers Vic Dapkus and Steve Pearson Gary Peek and ! 1c Dapkus Denny I ' olhner Bob Bruit n and Malt Turav Distance Freestyle Butterfly Breasts! roke Backstroke Individual Medley Freestyle Diving The coach, Tom Reiner, was pleased with the team ' s performance this year and has high hopes for an even better finish for the team next year. The team has tremendous potential anil certainly will pose a threat in the up- coming years in the Midwest Conference due to the fact that the team is losing only 3 members through graduation. It appears that Monmouth is back on the track with its swimming program and we wish them all the luck in the world. tox. %n «ei ■vfOS m  v ' • L V ' -t I i vhx] ►V ' j 0% fWfe| ' . You are probably wondering what 1 am doing in the 1974 Ravel- ings. The answer to that question is twofold. First I didn V make it in the l l 73 Ravelings and then the Editor has some sort of a crush on me 91 The people followed as SURRENDER led hin to the place in front of the Union. The Grand FAZOO was humbly clad in a great- coat-t-shirt. He nodded to the cheers of the people which caused the people to cheer more which caused the Grand FAZOO to nod more and before anyone knew it there was a vicious circle. The crowd began to chant in three part harmony; and the small orches- tra played specially composed music that seemed to drag terribly according to the local music critic, Nit Gizinia. The Grand FAZOO looked at Surrender and spoke: Give unto me a man of business or economics; a man of philosophy or re- ligion; one of science; and a man of social-science. Presently those requested were chosen by a special session of the General Ruling Body and within fifteen minutes they joined the Grand FAZOO in a conference room. A meal was brought in and the Grand Fazoo told them to make themselves at Home. All through the meal he intently watched the chosen men eat and talk arid only infrequently asked them questions. When they were all finished the Grand Fazoo spoke up. It is a very simple process by which you are to learn tonight. It is expression of solid thoughts. These thoughts then provoke ac- tions. You will notice that there is a simple tape recorder running. This is for your benefit. In the future, when I am not present, you might use this to redirect your thoughts remembering how on this evening your thoughts were redirected. I have only one night to spend with you so lets get down to work. Backgammon, the man of business, spoke up. How is it we can solve all of our problems in one night? It is late and I am tired. I wish to retire and handle all of this in the morning. If you, or anyone else, wishes to leave, feel free to do so. I must remind you that I came to this college in the mddle of the cornfields at your request. I will be here this one night only. My work requires a breadth of opinion. That is why I asked for a repre- sentative of the various fields. I am sure that this evening will be helpful, not only to the community which you represent, but to your very selves. This evening will serve you and your community much as the one particular evening Ophelia had with Hamlet; you will always be able to look back and gain strength from it. The right Reverand Correlation broke in: Come gentlemen, we have work to do!! !!!!!! Now that is the spirit I like to see the Grand Fazoo continued; through hard work and careful thought you can solve all of your troubles. Herodutus, sipping his wine, spoke out. Shall we start with a particular problem? -ira. ' ) No the Fazoo replied. What we are going to do is attempt to recognize where this small college in the middle of the cornfields is at. You have probably thought of this at some time that every man has aspirations or goals he has set for himself. All of his little goals will lead him to his personal happiness-but you probably don ' t think of it often enough. Whenever you are dealing with other people you must ascertain what their goals are and how they are working towards them. You cannot deal with each others aspira- tions. What then are the goals of this small college in the middle of the corn fields? To give them an understanding of what has preceeded them sang out Herrodutus. To intrigue them with the wonders of Nature came from El Ron Cornucopia; the man of science. To make them happy siad Griswold. To allow them to be at one with themselves and their God speeled out the right Reverand Correlation. Griswold, said the Grand Fazoo, your reply astounds me. Tell me, how can you make people happy? By giving them lots of nice things to do and pretty pictures to look at. Are you happy Griswold? No. What makes you unhappy? All those kids that write all of this stuff all over the walls and leave me to clean it up. What sort of material appears on the walls? Nasty things about Tradition and mindless clutter. I think there is something worthwhile in the wall writings. The They are the expressions of someone. Something heartfelt. Ya gotta keep the walls clean. Why can ' t the walls be clean with all the writing on them? Well they are clean, even with all that stuff written on them, it ' s just that they don ' t look clean. Then it ought to satisfy us that we know the walls are clean, even if they don ' t reflect our images in them. This exemplifies what I was trying to tell you before. Someone feels the need to write something on the wall. He is performing the act of writing whatever to fullfill a goal. You can ' t deal with the writing on the wall until you deal with the rea- sons that it appears on the wall. The harder you try and clean the writ- ing off the wall the more they will write on it, concluded the Fazoo. Then we ought to do the same with our curriculum? Backgammon asked. If it doesn ' t suit the goals of the students, then change it. How can you determine the goals of the students? The Right Reverand Correlation wrinkled up an eye and asked. You don ' t have to go thru that. First, if you tried to determine the goals of the students, you might make a mistake. Once you make a mistake that far along down the line you pretty much blow the whole show. However, if you provide enough alternatives so that a student can pick courses to fit his needs he will remove the problem from your bur- den. But El Ron Cornucopia began, what about a student that doesn ' t know what he wants to do ? You expose him to all varieties of instruction and let him make Lip his own mind, replied the Fazoo. The night passed in positive discussion. The Grand Fazoo sat back and listened with joy, because the people were solving their own prob- lems. They did not need Tradition, for they could solve their problems themselves.

There were now two distinct communities, separated by a flowing creek and grassy fields, existing in apparent harmony. The flowers even bloomed in the spring. Chirds Burped in the trees The people of Tradition were still happy because he solved all their problems for them. They still had their Saturday afternoon contests in the field, which, with the coming of each cold season; were moved inside and held at night. They were happy, or so it appeared. Over the river and across the field at the college in the cornfields, the people of Surrender, enlightened by the Fazoo, lived a much more tumultuous existence but still were happy. They know more about their problems than their counterparts across the creek, but they also knew how to deal with them. Once every two weeks, a cooperation council was held in which three members of Surrender ' s community, which we have not yet met, attended. They were MM; LesNiak; and Toad. Tradition would stand up and tell a story and the people of Surrender would pass out the activities calendar which outlined all the activities planned. The people of Tradition plugged along while those of Surrender experimented. Each week the Right Reverand Correlation would hold his Rap On Heavy Things , while the others offered free instruction in auto repairs, personal hygiene and self deception. The people of Tradition were welcomed with open arms to such activities, although those who attended were watched as subversives, radicals and dissi- dents. (To use the words of Legend.) For more than two years the communities existed in such harmony. Chapter Two One day late in the month of Jugar. The office of Ms. Information. Legend has just entered. Did you see Griswold ' s report today? No is something up? It seems that Surrender ' s people are the beginning to bad mouth Tradition. Writing on the wall again? No. They are even publishing it in secret memo ' s that are being circulated. We ' ll have to do something about it. T and I have plans. Good work. You betcha. At the next meeting of the cooperation council, Tradition told a story about people who say nasty things about other people. Legend followed up with an accusation of the publications degradation of Tradition. MM apologized, Les Niak pleaded for an understanding of free speech: and Toad asked them to be mellow. Chapter Three Emile, sitting in his room and although he heard a commotion outside, kept on reading. Emile had received a full scholarship to attend the small college in the middle of the cornfields. He had lived through the renunciation of Tradition and approved of it. He sat there as Peron, third in command of Traditions army, burst into his room and commanded Emile ' s death. Beth, who was known for her warm smile and undeniable charm was alarmed by the noise outside. She rose and went to the window, and saw all those people outside wearing brightly coloured jerseys and hoods. As Peron entered her room, his blood-stained comrade ' s shirt matched their jerseys. She never felt the sharpedged weapon of her death. After fifteen minutes of slaughter, the forces of Tradition were bewildered by the lack of resistance Surrender ' s people put up. When the library had been recaptured along with every other building, the forces of Tradition gathered around him. One who was brave and enough to verbilize his compatriots thoughts, asked Why. most Honourable Tradition Sir, are we doing this? It will make a nice story. 113 114 Week Thirty-two 14: What good is a Monday in Monmouth ?. . . 15: Internal Revenue Service collects War Tributes every year... 17: Benjamin Tucker bom, 1854. . . 18: San Francisco Earthquake, 1906; Don ' t Rain on my Pa- rade , Dan du Bois. . . 19: What is it about Friday night ' s in Monmouth?

Die finest curriculums. facilities, and endowments are fruitless ij ' they arc not actively pursued and utilized by a cadre of highly disciplined shtdents, firm in the belief that academic success is es- sential. Unfortunately, the finest facilities may he decimated if the college is unable to attract such individuals, or demands less than superior scholastic work from their students. Let us never consider student intellectualism at Monmouth an aberation, for failure to recognize such endeavors would be a heavy blow to the backbone of the college.

After the death ofCy many people came to me and asked that such a thing as the 1974 Ravelings be worthy enough to commemorate a member of the class of 1974. 1 asked them to supply me with some information and if possible some pictures so that a pro- per dedication could be made. They did not. In the back of my mind I had the idea of dedicating the book to my old journalism teacher, Ms. Ellen Shuart. If that failed there were always the greats that for some reason or another left MC In that category would fall (in order) Dr. Quentin Peterson; Fred Knocke; Joel and Jeff Vistein; Wayne Fletcher; or Greg Ellis. TJie College Senate provided an avenue of escape. By conferring the degree of profes- sor emeritus on Dr. Ben Shawver of the Education Department (of late) and earlier the Chemistry Department I have been provided someone to dedicate the 1974 Ravelings to. For your devoted service to the College and the community of Western Illinois Dr. Shaw- ver, I hereby dedicate the 1974 Ravelings to you. . .

We know of the chants only by way of an oral tradition that confuses and bemuddles most of our other beliefs. The original chants are supposedly to have appeared on Griswold ' s walls sometime after the return of Tradition. Those who remembered the Fazoo would memorize them as fast as they could because Tradition became very upset with the recurring chants and had Griswold clean them off as soon as he was them. They in time became the secret pasttime of the common folk. Tradition finally outlawed the sale and possession of magic markers (because that is what the chants were written with) and commonly searched and seized any written copies of the chants as well as putting to death those who were found in possession of them. The chants were written down long after the death of Tradition by a now folk-hero, Charley. Reviews of the original publication have survived; but only too sadly the publication itself lacked the same fate. Chant 53 is the reflection of one of the members of the community of the Fazoo. He survived the onslaught of Tradition by his cir- cumstantial presence in Chicago at the time of Tradition ' s return. Vehement in tone it asks for the wrath of the Fazoo to come into the house of Tradition. Chant 96 was supposedly composed by a member high up in the bureaucracy of Tradition. Chant 53 Chant 96 Contend, Oh Fazoo, with those who contend with us. Take hold of pen and paper and rise for our help. Draw out the transcription and play the tape against our pursuers. Say to our souls, I am confident in you . Let them be put to shame and dishouner. Those who seek our lives. Let them turn back and be confounded, Those who devise evil against us. Let them be like chaff before the wind, With you driving them on. Let their way be dark and slipperry. With you pursuing them. For without cause they hid their net from us. Without cause they dug pits for our lives! Let the net which they hid, Ensnare them. Let them fall unawares, Into ruin. Then my soul shall sing out in four part harmony: Oh Fazoo, Like us, Who delivereth us from the sword. The weak and need in physical. From whom despoils them! Save me oh Fazoo, For the waters have come up to my neck. I sink deep in Peoples Park, Where there is no foothold. I am weary with my crying, And my throat is parched. More in numbers than the hairs on my head. Are those of Tradition who hate me. Mighty are those who would destroy me. Those who attack me with lies! What I did not steal. Must I now restore? Oh Fazoo, You knowest my Folly; The wrongs I have done, Are not hidden from you. It is for your aake that I have born reproach. I have become an alien to my bretheren. A stranger to my mother ' s sons. I am the talk of those who sit in the Union. The drunkards made songs and write soiled plaids about me. They gave Surrender Saga for food, Vineager to drink. And a sharp blade for an alarm clock. Let their own lives become a snare; Their weekly contests be a trap. Pour out your wisdom on them. And let their burning anger overtake them. May their contests be unattended. Let no one attend them in their building. For they persecute you and your followers. Let the oppressed see it and be glad; You who seek the Fazoo, Let your hearts revive. For the Fazoo hears the needy. And despises those who do not think. 138 Who is this man and what is he doing in the 1974 Rav 139 •sj r r Jl ■ CREDITS.XREDITS...CR] Never before in the history of yearbooks has there been one to credit each photographer.

Well indeed too, for the ages have solidified and stagnated yearbooks to the point ofredundancv: what ever changes in a yearbook. Tins years Ravelings was designed and produced in the spirit of social relevancy. Tliat term means many things to many people and too this yearbook has the possibility of meaning limited only by your imagination. I would like to thank Paul Coram and Mike Mullen from Pischel yearbooks for all the help they have given me in putting this thing to- gether. It was a monumental task and dammit, I think we met the challenge. Tlie MC photo lab deserves a lot of credit, in the same breath. Mark DeBolt, Judy Bersted, and GregMaher worked their ever loving asses off for the book and I only wish there is some way to thank them. I suppose they 11 have to settle for these printed words. I must now assume editorial responsibility and state that The opinions expressed in this book do not represent those of anybody other than Eric S. Anderson. Tliey do not reflect policy or sentiment of any official college body and any correlation is purely accidental. Man ' and Gary, the number two and three peoples on my staff also did one fuck of a lot of work on this 1974 Ravelings. I thank them from the bottom of my heart. In closing, I would hope that anyone who is disgruntled or upset by the book take the time and sit down and hash out our problems-for I am extremely interested in opinions others may have about my work.
