AUNSKY Saul Alinsky, the man who organizes entire communities for his life-work, came to Santa Clara with a sense of mission. He believes that ' when you organize people for power, you organize them for democracy. ' The only prerequisite for ' all power to the people ' is the organization of people with common demands. He won the attention of his audience by entertainment and by challenge. A good organizer, Alinsky insisted, must have a great sense of humor; by this test, Alinsky is clearly a good organizer. Whether he was telling a story about a poor organizer who years and years ago won only 12 followers, or giving a profoundly humorous comment - - ' There is no such thing as a successful traitor because, if you succeed, you automatically become a Founding Father ' -- Alinsky kept his listeners ' attention . Challenge presented itself in abundance in his speech. From the start, Alinsky said that He was speaking only to those who were unsatisfied with the present; all others were past his help. To create change, Alinsky taught, power is essential. Power comes from only two sources, money and people. If you have the latter, the only means of using the power is through organization. Those in power have to be brought to the realization that they need the people. An uncooperative banker served as Alinsky ' s example: get 1,000 people together and march into his bank and demand charge accounts; his business is swamped and he has to close for the day. After a fe.w days of this, he invariably asks for terms. ' The only time you can really trust somebody, ' Alinsky concludes, ' is when you know that they need you desperately. '

The Homecoming Queen Contest almost died quietly. The 1971 Homecoming chairmen, Bruce Labadie and Tom Anderson, decided early in their planning not to c onduct the contest since it neither fit into the Renaissance theme chosen for this year ' s Homecoming nor satisfied the wishes of a clear majority of students. But several people, among them last year ' s Homecoming chairmen, Bruce Decker and Bill McLaughlin, did think the Queen Contest belonged. They were willing to make an issue of it and their cause instantly stirred up opposition. To more than a few, the election last year of a male law student as Homecoming Queen had indicated that the contest had perhaps sunk into low repute with the students. Others found the contest degrading to all participants -- candidates and voters alike. Still others believed that the Queen Contest simply didn ' t fit into the University anymore. The battle-lines were drawn: Labadie and Anderson insisted that a contest would upset the planned Renaissance Faire concept; Decker and McLaughlin said that the Queen Contest deserved to be in Homecoming for the sake of student interest. Lynne Yates entered the picture with her plea to rid the campus of one more expression of the ' woman is meat ' philosophy in action. The Santa Clara contributed its fair share of the verbiage, referring to the controversy as the work of disgruntled campus politicians and urging that Anderson and Labadie be upheld by the Homecoming Committee. When the mist of hot air had cleared, the contest was dead--the victim, it seems, not only of a different style of Homecoming but of a different student attitude.
