Intention was to take a pig out to lake and slaughter it. Driver had 9 o’clock class. He took keys of car with him to class. Meanwhile B846 men are unloading chairs into Langan basement for lounge party that night. A B&G man nlused how he recalled that a pig was once slaughtered in a men’s hall a few years back. It takes a long time to roast a pig. The keys to the trunk were in class. Lan- gan basement shower is a clean, tiled, sunken affair, The site of the death was fixed. 'lhe tools were moved into place: a stout machete, razor sharp; one 4'lncll Switchblade; and 4 razors in! debrislling: 2 Tech- ntatics (they weie poor; had to rotate the blade too frequently), a Gillette stainless and a Super Blue. BIAS—Pig had freed itself in trunk; it “squealed out” of the trunk Pig, skin and all, was quickly subdued to the credit of our football training. 9:55—Pig carried into shower room and hung upside down on towel hook. 9:56—Pig was stuck. Pig squeals. Mr. Pomerenk called by persons unidentified. B&G men come and watch proceed~ lugs. “Some of them thought it was a very funny caper. Others didn’t.” Pig is still squealing due to botched lob. Machete is seized and squeals stop. 10:10—Last sign of hie exists from pig. Enter Mr. Pomcrenk "What are you doing? Who is in charge here?" (silence) A freshman (never having seen the director of residences, think- ing he was a parent) “We’re slaughtering a pig. IIc's hung upside down. It'll be kosher. And we’ll give the entrails a Christian burial.” Mr, P: “Why here?" frosh: “Where else? Mac field?” Mr. P: “DO you think the college should provide you with slaughtering facilities?” IUIIS—MI‘. P. and Mr. KrauSv man met on the stairs. g“Krausman Wasn’t awakened RADIO TURNED OFF Members of the executive board of the fetal radio station re- signed en masse last week Following the example of station manager Babak Armajahl, they dated their resignations January 3. They Will withdraw them, though, if the station is operating by that date. At an open Senate meeting Tuesday, Atmajani explained that the board members are frustrated, and cannot continue to work without results. They hope to coerce the college administration into getting something done. The pressure seems to be taking effect. Armajani says so much has been accomplished this week “it would make your head spin.” Evan Walden promises that the station's studios will be completed by December 18, but, notes Armajani, “I won't be com pletely optimistic until we're on the air." Reviewing the history of the station, Armajani said the idea of reviving the radio station was germinated about two and a half years ago. There had been a station on campus some years before. The college administration was cool to the idea, even alter the Student Government Association agreed to finance it. A group of students then formed the organization of the station and submitted a detailed plan with a budget included, to the ad- ministration. The administration was then willing to commit itself to the idea. The executive board hoped to have the station on the air at the beginning of this semesterr Since then, Armajani said, the station’s studios have been lo- cated in just about every building on campus, and after seven months the station is still not on the air. The station‘s staff at its peak included one-tenth of the student body, Armajani told the meeting. They were very active in train- ing and discussion sessions at first, but are now demoralized. They do not feel that they are accomplishing anything. Armajani still has hope that the station will be broadcasting by January 3 and that it will not be engulfed in a “bureaucratic quagmire," If the station is not on the air by January 3 and the board resigns, Armajani expects to reorganize the board when and if the studios are completed. “Too much has been done by too many people to let the thing die on paper,” he said. llllllllllllllllllillllilillillllilillllllllllllllllllilllllllllillllllllllllllilllilllllllllfllllllllllllllllllllillllilillllillllllilllllilllilillllilllllllllllllllllllllllillllililllllllllllllllllllllillllllillliliillllililllllllllllllillilllllllillillllllllllllllllllllillllil by the pig but by the screams of Mr. Pomerenk”). Mr. P. calls dean of men. Mrr K: ”Stop what you’re doing, clean up, and move it elsewhere. Student: "Let me finish." (Mr. K. was quickly persuaded by the obvious.) 10:25—Executive housekeeper, Mrs. Leotta Anderson, is re ported to have said “ . . just so long as they clean it up. . 10:30—Dean arrives. The stu- dents involved have nothing but praise for the way the dcnn handled the situation. Dean (softly): I want that pig out of here. I don’t want to see it on campus. And I don’t want to see any parts of it on campus. Student: “I’ll take it out im- mediately.” (“The Way the dean said it, it really had a ring to it”.) pig was picked up under arm and carried out the back stairs. 10:30—Dean leaves. Pig is on sidewalk. Butchers go to lunch after shower. it was subse- quently decided to postpone pig, and sllbsiltute steak. Pig was transported to a local freezing plant.

Metzler did not want the is- sues to be so broad that views within the group would vary radically. Chairman Bentzinger later added, “I hope we restrict our goals, and don’t try to coordl‘ nate, rather than operate.” Consolidation of various peace movements was mention- inating source for es. The Iowa Peace Bulletin, of which Metzler is editor, has been suggested. Announcements for the tirst meeting of FAX had been made in the bulletin.

If elected President, Hoover said he would “do everything within his power to: I) stop the War in Vietnam, (2) establish a new foreign policy to relate to the people who want free- dom and peace instead of con- rupt dictators, 3) end the draft and the military intervention in civilian affairs that have re- sulted in a dangerous centrall- zation of Federal power, 4) em- ploy money and minds now wasted on war to meet all do‘ mestic needs, 5) cut taxes when possible by international disarmament, 6) end all forms of discrimination in jobs, edu‘ cation, and housing, and 7) em courage all over l8 years of age to accept responsible clti< zensliip, and vote."
