Chisholm says racism is enemy
Staff Writer
A strong voice and dramatic gestures highlighted a speech by Shirley Chisholm, D-N-Y, as she told about 130 people in New York on night that racism was America's enemy.
Chisholm said she was tired of generalizations about bulging welfare rolls and job discrimination.
"The enemy of our nation — whether you
like it or not — is racism within the borders of our country," she said.
She said if she had not had faith in God and confidence in herself, she would have gone crazy from the inequities she had witnessed or suffered.
One of those inequities, she said, was unequal in reversal discrimination in the Allen Backus case.
Rare fish gets out of water, dies

BAKKE HAS said the medical school at the University of California at Davis discriminated against him by rejecting his application. His case is before the U.S. Supreme Court.
The fish, a shovelnose sturgeon, bumped against the cover of an aquarium last Thursday and wiggled onto the floor of the waterfall. Frank Gross, curator of鱼 at the museum.
"It is a very distinctive fish," Wiemann said. "There aren't many species left. It has a strange odor."
her of the Supreme Court decision in the 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka case. The court ruled in favor of Brown, thus allowing school desegregation.
The sturgeon was caught about a month ago in the Missouri River by Cross and several graduate students during a research study for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
"The shovelnose sturgeon we had was very similar to fossils of prehistoric fish,"
He added that the fish were so primitive because the river bottom environment had remained constant and that river bottom was constantly interracted with other fish during the years.
Chuisholm, who also is vice chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, said she had researched the Bake case and had interviewed several people. It was not telling the public some of the facts.
"The newspapers never told the American people that Allen Bakke was rejected by 10 medical schools," Chisholm said, pounding the podium. "They never told the American people that he was rejected by his alma mater."
The sturgeon sits on the bottom of the river and let the current sweep over the top stream.
"It was unfortunate that the sturgeon died, especially by accident," Cross said. "We hope to have another sturgeon in these weeks. Our staff is out looking for one now."
ONE QALLIFER on the court's decision was the use of what Chisholm called "an artificial mechanism," or busing to achieve integration. She said the United States still was using such mechanisms to fight discrimination.
"The latest artificial instrument that we have to use in this nation is affirmative action," she said, "or what some people call reverse discrimination."
Chishulam said America was hypocritical if it had to depend on mechanisms rather than morality to resolve what she termed inequalities.
Chisolm also addressed what she called "an immoverished American spirit."
Sturgeon usually die after a few hours in captivity because of lack of oxygen, Wiseman said. Sturgeon require a high amount of oxygen.

She said that the political awareness of the 1960s had dissipated, and that idealism had been lost to the politics of pragmatism and private interest.
"Researchers have had a hard time keeping the sturgeons alive," David Wiseman, Oklahoma City graduate student, said Friday.

teaches of minorities and women an anti-
war movement had gained ground.
The election of Richard M. Nixon in 1968 was one of the incidents that Chisholm said had lulled people into apathy, disillusionment and disinterest.
She said that many people accused her of "crying wolf" when she talked about a lack of national spirit, but that she had researched citizen opinions about various issues and her analysis of problems plaguing the nation prompted her comments.

Chisimalo said that the best way to regain political awareness was to regain the amount of individual involvement in politics that existed during the 1960s.
"If the sturgeon is caught in hot water, which has a low amount of oxygen, it is hard to keep it alive," Cross said. "However, this fish was caught in cold water, which is why it was kept alive so long. We also tried to maintain its natural habitat." he said.
"I'm not an alarmist. I'm not a soothsayer." Chisholm said, "but something is happening in this nation that I hope we better take notice of."
She said she was directing her comments to the young people in the audience because of political apathy she had noticed on college and university campuses.
The mud-colored fish live at the bottoms of rivers and sift through debris for food. They also eat aquatic insect larvae. Because of the reduced visibility at the river bottom, the sturgeon's eyes almost have disappeared; they have adapted by using other senses for catching food, Wiseman said.
Chislaim told the young members of the audience that she was counting on their generation to rid the nation of its apathy because she had given up on herons.
Long hours, planning produce successful star
By NANCY DRESSLER
Staff Writer
Fans will be a five-point star formed to the music of "Star Wars"; during halftime Saturday, but what they will not see are the hours of planning and rehearsing that go into every University of Kansas band performance.
What appears to be easy is not.
Thomas Stidham, assistant band director, said recently that a star formation, which will be used in Saturday's halftime performance at the KU-Kansas State game, will have to work while to write on paper and was an idea it had been considered for several months.
He said the formation was difficult because it used a completely symmetrical, cylindrical shape.
"I spent most of one night at home working on the star." Stidham said.
THE FORMATION finally was made by taking a circle and dividing its 360 degrees into five equal parts and connecting the divisions with lines to form the star.

Worked out before an actual rehearsal.
Drill sequences are worked on paper that is graphed into a football field, according to Stidham, and movements to and from formations are determined for each marching band member.
Each show begins with the music, Stidham said, and the KU band members use music written especially for them by James Barnes, assistant to the band's director and a former tuba player in the marching band.
"All of Barnes' best arrangements — 'Star Wars' will be part of Saturday's show."
Barnes said he wrote music that sounded good when performed outside, a sound he called "a good, fat marching band sound" with brass and percussion.
Work on "Star Wars" began in August after Barnes saw the movie.
"The first time I saw the picture, I knew I had to do the music," Barnes said. "And I knew I wasn't going to do something like the disc arrangement."

The result is a musically complete piece. The only work left to do is recapping the 12 parts for the band's instrumentation. With that, he can take another 20 hours of work, Barnes said.
THERE HAVE been cases in which music had to be done in less time.
Barnes had the 60 hours spent on "Star Wars" had been an average amount of time since the original release.
"I worked every night for three to four weeks in it," Foster said. "Most of that time was spent doing the homework."

The hijackers, armed with a 38-caliber revolver and knives, took over a twin-engine DC3 aircraft on a flight from Saigon to Vietnam's Phu Quoc island Saturday with 32 other passengers and six crew members aboard.
He said an additional three to four hours were needed to train and chart the drill.
A creative and artistic drill requires more time to chart than does a simple one. Foster ideas. Ideas for drills come from anywhere — from signs to films of other bands.
SINGAPORE (AP) — A Vietnamese hjacked airliner flew back to Saigon yesterday with 34 survivors and the bodies of five others after the hjacks surrendered in Sinuores.
Stidham, who charts standard formations such as a giant "K" or the word "KANASS," said these traditional endings to a show were used to relate it to KU.
A government spokesman said the hijackers, who sought political asylum, were in police custody and be "death with in accordance with international law."

The International Federation of Airline Pilots Associations called off the strike threat Oct. 21 after Western and Third World nations drafted a U.N. General Assembly resolution against air piracy. The resolution is to be introduced this week.
The hijacking was the first since commercial airplane pilots threatened a 48-hour world-wide strike to protest the Oct. 13-18 terrorist attack of a West German jet and of a French jet.
